74. The wind and rain will rise
On the 10th anniversary after the judgment of the Anshi Rebellion, Suzong will sin himself to the world and announce to the world that Dezong will be passed on.
The fleet of the governor of Huguang, Jia Ye, slowly left Guangdong and set off in the direction of Luoyang.
When Jiaye lived in Huguang this time, he brought more than a dozen boats, each of which had a very deep draft, and obviously carried a lot of goods.
According to the order of Luoyang, such a huge fleet entered the important place of Luoyang, and it must be inspected, but somehow this time the fleet of the governor of Huguang was unchecked, and more than a dozen ships entered Luoyang unimpeded.
The name of Ka Ye can be said to be like thunder.
The Anshi Rebellion assisted Guo Ziyi in killing An Qingxu, and assisted Li Guangbi in pacifying the 14th Bei.
Three years ago, Jia Ye took a small number of Guo Ziyi's old troops to Fujian to clear the old Japanese bandits along the border according to Guo Ziyi's order, but it coincided with the rebellion of Xu Zongjing, the king of Jianning.
Jia Ye only relied on the 5,000 troops in his hands, as well as the careful wisdom of the left and right, he desperately repelled Xu Zongjing, the king of Jianning, and then attacked Fuzhou, ambushed Xiamen, and defeated Xu Zongjing, the king of Jianning, together with the remaining four Qinwang troops.
Since then, the name of Jia Ye "Tang Xiao Wei Chi Jingde" has spread, and the world has been impressed when talking about Jia Ye's strategy and martial arts when he quelled the rebellion. Jia Ye made a contribution to quelling the chaos and was promoted to the governor of Huguang, but he was never summoned by the emperor.
A few months ago, Guo Ziyi secretly ordered Jiaye to be on standby.
The wind and rain are coming, and the master has a comprehensive plan, and the soldiers, horses, grains and grass have been prepared a few months ago.
In the great shock of Luoyang, Jia Ye was suddenly summoned by the emperor and hurried back to Luoyang.
Anyone with a little common sense can see that now Li Dan is like the new emperor, and the so-called emperor's summoning is naturally what Li Dan means. At this time, a young minister who was very good at using soldiers was suddenly recalled from Huguang to Luoyang, why do you need to ask, this Jiaye must be to help Li Dan deal with the queen's affairs.
The more this happened, the more the soldiers defending the city did not dare to search Kaya's ship.
Now it seems that the crown prince Li Dan controls the entire Luoyang, and he is already the next emperor, who dares to stumble on him?
Although Empress Wei has long had plans and frequent actions, the tone is too low, and the difference between the party struggle is not a little bit. I don't know how Empress Wei herself can be compared with the two saints of Wu Cao.
The ministers of the Queen's Party were very anxious, but Li Dan never showed up, and Guo Ziyi and others handled the matter. Otherwise, Empress Wei borrowed the name of the emperor, and it would not be difficult to fight against Li Dan.
But now, the emperor has supported the crown prince to temporarily deal with military affairs, and if several ministers of the queen's party disobey Li Dan's orders, they will disobey the emperor's orders and become unknown.
Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, and the princely faction, a few people stood on the wall of Luoyang, watching the Jiaye fleet enter Luoyang smoothly, and hundreds of boatmen quickly transported the huge boxes in the ship, as for what was in the boxes, no one saw them.
Guo Ziyi looked at Li Guangbi and smiled: "These people are not ordinary boatmen. Not only are they extremely strong, their hands and feet are fast, but they also seem to have been trained very strictly, there is no chatter between each other, and they are very organized and organized, and every action is like having been practiced repeatedly, presumably this time they can stabilize the situation of the prince. β
Li Guangbi nodded and said, "Not bad." These people can't be boatmen, they should all be soldiers disguised. Well, what's in these boxes ......"
Guo Ziyi sighed: "I don't want to meet in the war, the country has been in turmoil for too long, and the people also need to rest." Taiping is everything, Li Dan already has 5,000 Royal Forest troops in hand, plus this group of people, I'm afraid the total number has exceeded 6,000. These people are all elite soldiers, and when they fight, they are afraid that even ordinary 10,000 officers and soldiers will not be able to resist. Even if the queen mobilizes the Praetorian Guards to enter the city, it will be difficult to give full play to the numerical advantage in the street battle for a while, once they are dragged for a while, the saint is killed, Li Dan ascends the throne, and the 200,000 Jinwu guards do not need to be mobilized, plus Jia Ye must also be mobilizing troops from Huguang, how can Empress Wei have a chance of winning?"
Li Guangbi couldn't help but be a little angry: "Ziyi, you mean, the queen is lost?"
Guo Ziyi waved his hand and said, "Guangbi." We don't need the queen to have a chance of winning, the queen is ambitious, and if she doesn't have a chance of winning, she will be at least ruined. If the queen's intentions can be curbed as soon as possible, and she can take it down in one fell swoop by thunderous means before she makes a move, it should not be too difficult to rely on the absolute superiority of the Praetorian Guard in terms of numbers for the time being. β
Li Guangbi sighed: "It's difficult for us here. If the queen does not make a move, the Praetorian Guard must not attack Luoyang, otherwise it will be a rebellion. But if the queen makes a move, we will receive the news as soon as possible, and what if we mobilize the Praetorian Guard? β
Guo Ziyi said: "Anyway, as a courtier, you should be ready to serve to the death." If we win this battle, we will go down in history, and if we are defeated, we will apologize with death and never surrender! In the history books of other days, what is recorded must be a strong iron man, not a thief who plotted against him!"
Li Guangbi's eyes were resolute, and he said loudly: "Brother Guo, you said it well, you deserve to be the elder of the cabinet!"
Life is the most precious, and if a person is not afraid of death, there is nothing more worthy of fear in the world. A person who is not afraid of death can still have a far-sighted vision, which is actually a blessing for the country.
The weather was gloomy, the sky was low, and it was night.
The sky is full of stars, and tomorrow must be a good day.
The next day was the festival of worshipping the heavens, and Suncheon Mansion Yin sent almost all the forces to patrol and protect. However, to Fu Yin's surprise, at midnight, there were already teams of Royal Forest Army on the road on duty in advance.
These Imperial Guards were all black-clad and heavily armoured, and some of them were even on the verge of a great enemy. Fu Yin was inevitably surprised: "The Sacrifice to the Heavens, there is no need to send the elite to guard the Forbidden City, right?"
These battle-ready Imperial Forest Soldiers quickly made Shuntian Mansion Yin feel a little inappropriate. He decided to send someone to Li Guangbi of the military department to ask for instructions.
Soon, however, the messenger was driven back. A man dressed in a royal guard uniform walked in. Fu Yin recognized that this person was the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Guo Ziyi's nephew Guo Antong.
"Lord Fu Yin. Guo Antong looked respectful, with a smile on his face, and entered with two entourages: "His Royal Highness the Prince's order, Luoyang City Defense Deployment and other deployments, all temporarily handed over to the Imperial Forest Army. All the officials are on standby!" said the general order and placed it in front of Fu Yin.
Fu Yin can see it very clearly, there is an engraved seal of the prince on it!
But when did the Guards have so much power?
Thinking about it, a chill suddenly appeared behind Fu Yin: "Even if it is really the order of His Royal Highness the Prince, there should not be such an abnormal behavior." Is there something big?"
Fu Yin could see clearly that Guo Antong and the hands of the two people behind him were always on the hilt of the sword. If you refuse...... The commander of the Imperial Forest Army is naturally very powerful in martial arts, and he can't even solve this bad old man.
"Okay...... But I will report back to Lord Lee Kwang-pil. β
Fu Yin still said his words, and there was a moment of hesitation in his heart, but his life was at stake, so he still didn't dare to refuse directly.
An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Guo Antong's mouth: "Lord Fu Yin, I heard that Luoyang is very chaotic now, and there are even bandits who openly attack the official's mansion, so I sent a hundred people to protect the safety of the adults and stayed outside." β
Fu Yin was furious: "You...... You are besieging Shuntian Mansion! Bold! I want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Guo Antong sneered: "My lord, you better know the times, don't be miserable." β
As he spoke, several more Imperial Foresters rushed in outside, wearing armor, and the guards at the door had been forced back to back.
Fu Yin was shocked and angry, and stood up with a slap on the table: "You guys, you are going to rebel!" But he saw that there were already people from the Imperial Forest Army standing outside!
Fu Yin couldn't sit down, all the strength in his body seemed to be drained, and he muttered, "Is this another coup d'Γ©tat?"
Guo Antong said coldly: "It's just to protect the safety of adults." As long as you don't ask for trouble, I, Guo Antong, promise not to hurt a single hair of your hair. You'd better stay put! Some people will rebel, but it will never be us. β
The Ministry of Internal Affairs is still brightly lit.
Heavenly Demon, Bao Ziyun, all the dignitaries of the Internal Affairs Bureau, and the subordinates of the Heavenly Demon gathered in the upper study of the Internal Affairs Office.
The Heavenly Demon said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow morning, it will be the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens. Let's check now to see if there's anything wrong with the plan. β
Bao Ziyun looked at it several times, recalled for a moment, and said, "There should be no problem." It's late, and everyone needs to rest so that we can be in the best shape tomorrow. β
Ouyang Qing's face changed, and he suddenly said, "It's not good! I'm afraid things have changed!"
Bao Ziyunqi said: "What's wrong?"
Ouyang Qing frowned and said, "I heard the sound of horses' hooves, and there were quite a few of them. Who's going to be out riding a horse at this late hour?"
The Heavenly Demon's tone was also dignified: "Could it be that the queen is going to do it in advance?
Ouyang Qing nodded and said, "I'll go out and have a look." β
The Heavenly Demon grabbed him: "Don't act rashly. The order goes down, everyone enters a state of combat readiness, Ouyang Qing, you immediately take Kongyuan to the palace, if you find anything abnormal, let Kongyuan come back and report. Pointing to the person next to you, you go to Nan Yunfei and ask him to inform all the military merit party leaders!"
Ouyang Qing couldn't help but ask, "That Rong withered ......?"
The Heavenly Demon waved his hand and said, "I haven't contacted Rong Ku yet. But Feng Jiuyou has already arrived. He also brought dozens of good players, and I asked them to intercept Princess Anle's palanquin outside the city. β
Bao Ziyun shouted, "Intercept Princess Anle, what is this for?"
The Heavenly Demon said in a deep voice: "Princess Anle suddenly left Luoyang, and suddenly rushed back in the middle of the night, she has a very good relationship with Queen Wei, but I am afraid that she will bring him important weapons, or let the master lurk in." In order to be successful, we must stop her. Bao Ziyun, you ordered everyone to be on standby urgently, if Kongyuan brings back bad news, we must react immediately! Also, Bao Ziyun, you immediately write a secret letter to the emperor, and ask Li Guangbi to order, the Praetorian Guards in Luoyang City, and the Imperial Forest Army around the emperor are all stationary, don't spoil our big matter of intercepting Princess Anle. β
Feng Guangwei, the deputy head of the Inner Palace, saw that the Heavenly Demon was giving orders, and Bao Ziyun was submissive, and he was very unhappy in his heart: "This Mr. Heavenly Demon, everyone has arranged things, I don't know what you are going to do? Don't tell me, you will be idle here! You are not qualified to point fingers!"
A face watched the Heavenly Demon turn from white to red, and then from red to blue, and before he could speak, the person had already flown out.
Before the Heavenly Demon could speak, Ouyang Qing had already snorted coldly, raised his palm, and knocked Feng Guangwei away. He was extremely measured, Feng Guangwei did not suffer any internal injuries, but the pain of flesh and skin was inevitable.
Ouyang Qing said coldly: "At this critical juncture, if there are still people looking at us coldly, I don't mind if there is one less captain in the Internal Affairs Office." β
Bao Ziyun hurriedly said: "Feng Guangwei, why don't you come to make amends soon!"
Although Feng Guangwei was arrogant, he still didn't dare to disobey the orders of the Minister of Internal Affairs, gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground, and said, "My lord, I know that I am wrong. β
Ouyang said lightly: "I'm not targeting you. I just hope that together we can do great things. β
Feng Guangwei bowed his head and said, "The adult has to teach you a lesson." Although the tone was respectful, the teeth rattled.
The Heavenly Demon seemed to be a little impatient, and said in a sharp voice, "Okay, it's all my own people." Don't move around, each has a ghost in his heart, and go for it. β
There is still a mile away from Luoyang. Dozens of guards rode tall horses and were still on the road. But this trip to Luoyang is a flat avenue, without any obstacles.
Princess Anle's palanquin was just behind the knights.
All the entourage did not understand why the princess entered the city so late, but when the order was given, naturally no one would raise any objections.
Suddenly, one of them shouted, "There are many people coming from behind!"
Princess Anle is not an ordinary pampered and delicate lady, the last time Nanyang Li Jiao mutinied was Princess Anle led people to suppress it, and she was deeply scheming. At this time, when he heard this, his eyes flashed, he glanced back lightly, and then ordered: "Don't panic, everyone hurry up and rush to the city gate!"
Suddenly, a person in the air sneered: "Your Royal Highness Princess, stay and stay." "On the main road, I don't know when there was an extra person blocking the way.
A person in black clothes and black pants covered his face, and flew over lightly.
This person is naturally Feng Jiuyou.
Such a bold thing as intercepting the princess can only be done by people in the rivers and lakes, and it is the most difficult to get in touch with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and it is also the safest.
The people behind also came very quickly, and the retinue only paused slightly, and the momentum of the encirclement had already formed.
An attendant rode a horse to Princess Anle's palanquin and asked, "Princess, what now?"
Princess An Le hesitated for a moment, then ordered, "Everyone stop, line up to defend, and wait for the Praetorian Guard to rescue." β
Seeing that the other party was no longer advancing, Feng Jiuyou grinned and shouted, "We have specially come to invite the princess!
Princess An Le was in the middle of her entourage, and a leader with an angry face on his face, took two steps forward on his horse, and shouted angrily: "Who is the bandit, dare to intercept the princess's driver? Is it because he wants to rebel? This is the great crime of the Nine Clans!" he said and drew his long sword.
Feng Jiuyou didn't bother to look at the bluffing leader, staring at the luxurious sedan chair: "Your Royal Highness Princess, please don't act rashly to avoid many deaths and injuries, let all your people lay down their weapons and stand on the spot, so as not to hurt the harmony." He walked slowly forward.
Immediately someone stepped forward to block his way: "Bold bandit, speak wildly!"
Suddenly, the cold light flashed, Feng Jiuyou pulled out the knife from the sheath, a cold light flashed, and a human head rolled to the ground. Then, there was a thud, and the headless corpse fell to the ground.
All the princess guards were boiling, and soon some people were shouting, and everyone drew their swords and was about to rush up.
A cold light flashed in Feng Jiu's eyes, and he said coldly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, it seems that you are going back to the palace alone this time." β
"Brothers, go up!"
Twenty or thirty black-clothed men rushed up, and before the entourage could react, several of them had fallen in an instant.
Although the princess's guards are quite numerous, they are still too far from the characters in these green forests in terms of skills alone. In a matter of moments, the guards had suffered heavy casualties.
As the man in black shouted, the guards were completely surrounded in the middle, and all kinds of outer gate blades, every time they fell, they were accompanied by a miserable scream. There were more and more corpses on the ground, but the guards had less and less room to defend themselves.
After all, Princess An Le had experienced many military battles, corpses everywhere, and a pungent fishy smell, which made her calm down immediately: "Stop! Stop! Stop it all!"
Feng Jiuyou sneered and said, "Stop!" The man in black immediately took a few steps back. Feng Jiuyou stared at the princess who poked her head out of the sedan chair, grinned, and said hehe, "Has the princess decided?"
Princess Anle wasn't afraid, but it wasn't worth wasting time here.
If these people are the people used by Empress Wei, or the people of the crown prince, then don't worry, they won't hurt themselves. But what if these people are bandits and robbers at all......?
However, if you continue to resist, the consequences may be even more serious, so it is better to talk about it after you have clarified the situation.
Princess An Le looked around and said, "Everyone, lay down your weapons." β
There was still no trace of panic in her voice, and it was still very calm.
Although these entourages were also angry and wanted to continue to do it, in the face of such a bloody massacre, they also had the idea of stopping, and they stood in front of the sedan chair one after another and did not move.
A fierce light appeared in Feng Jiuyou's eyesββ
Princess An Le couldn't help but feel a sudden suddenness in her heart, and suddenly a sense of foreboding rose.
"Kill!" At the sound of an order, all the men in black immediately swung their knives and cut off the heads of all the guards who had followed Princess Anle for many years.
Princess An Le almost fainted in anger, and her feet were straining, but her face was still silent.
After a moment, his whole body trembled, his body shook violently, and he held on to the foot pole of the sedan chair hard, so that he did not collapse.
Then she couldn't help but shout, "Who are you! I have already made them surrender, and you are still so cruel!"
Jiuyou sneered: "Did I say surrender and not kill? It's just that you are too naΓ―ve!"
The eyes of everyone's head seemed to be looking at him coldly, Feng Jiuyou himself couldn't help but shudder, Princess Anle's big eyes seemed to be a pair of nighthawk-like eyes in this dark night.
The night was miserable, and I don't know when a milky white fog arose.
Princess Anle regained that composure and stopped talking.
Feng Jiuyou ordered: "Everyone search carefully and take the princess away!"
The night fog is miserable, the leaves are withering, the lotus pond next to it is full of dead leaves, the grass on the path is barren and there is no path, the courtyards on both sides of the flowers are red and willow green in the past, and the plum fragrant chrysanthemum is cold, and now it is full of forest ghosts.
Princess Anle Rao has seen the world but is also lonely
The man in black carried the sedan chair, and the sedan chair had just been carried to the end of the small bridge, and there were three or five grass huts at the end, which was the "grass town" he liked in the past.
There is a famous court hall who has lived here, and it was once a princess who was dominant, and at this time in the past, the chrysanthemum has been spit out, and the fragrance is intoxicating.
But now, the old romantic scene is long gone, and even the ageless trees have withered.
The lights in the distance were still not extinguished, and there were scattered drums in the distance.
It's already the fourth watch.
