Chapter 65: The court is angry, and the emperor shows his face
Bai Zhanyun and the others went all the way north, and were about to return to the imperial court to be sealed, and along the way, the desolation that was invaded by the battle began to slowly recover because of the kneeling of these people.
Yang Zhixin took the disciples of Yunhuomen forward and said, "Senior uncle, now that the matter here is over, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, it is time for us to return to the door to resume our lives." ”
Bai Zhanyun was stunned for a moment, and the rest of the people also stepped forward to say goodbye, Qiu Zhizi said with a smile: "I am poor and have no interest in being an official, and I have also taken my leave, Brother Bai will have a period in the future." ”
Bai Zhanyun said: "In this way, you will have a period in the future, and you don't want to be an official in the next place, but this capital still has to go through it in the next place." ”
Everyone said: "Uncle take care." ”
Everyone gathered and left, and Bai Zhanyun said: "Lord Liang, General Chen, let's go." ”
The two of them came to their senses and said with a smile: "General Bai, please." ”
The three of them rushed to the capital with their entourage. At this time, the emperor really set up a banquet and waited for everyone, which is indeed worth gathering, however, how many people really understand the hidden cats.
After three rounds of drinking, the civil and military officials gathered and dispersed, only the generals who fought against the barbarians were left behind by the emperor, the emperor smiled, walked slowly to Bai Zhanyun, and put his hand on Bai Zhanyun's shoulder, which was so unkind.
I only heard him smile and say: "I have De Bai General, who will dare to invade my rivers and mountains in the future? ”
Bai Zhanyun said: "Wechen is deeply loved by Bixia, and he is really overjoyed, but Weichen is a wild crane in the mountains, and he really can't be an official, and I hope that Bixia will allow the grass people to resign and return to their hometowns to serve their mother." ”
The emperor was stunned, looked at Bai Zhanyun, his eyes were full of puzzlement, and said: "Bai Aiqing really doesn't want to be an official in the court, and he doesn't want to ......."
Bai Zhanyun didn't wait for him to finish, and said: "Bixia is grateful, the grass people are grateful, now that the barbarians have been leveled, the grass people still have a seventy-year-old mother to serve, and please Bixia to fulfill it." ”
The Emperor muttered, "This ......"
A minister stepped forward and said with a smile: "General Bai, let's go home and think about it, this matter should not be discussed after drinking, and it is not too late to talk about it tomorrow morning." This person is Xu Zhongsu, who visited Bai Zhanyun.
Bai Zhanyun said: "In this way, the grass people retreated. ”
Tomorrow, Bai Zhanyun did not go home, his idea was to resign from the official and then go home to see his mother. After Bai Zhanyun left, Xu Zhongsu stepped forward and said, "Bixia, he will definitely resign tomorrow and return to his hometown, what are Bixia's plans?" ”
The emperor said: "This person is worthy of a heavy responsibility, if he can't be used by me, it's a pity, but since he wants to go home, I can't do anything." ”
Xu Zhongsu whispered: "If this person can't be used by Bixia, let alone used by others, it's better to ......"
The emperor said: "How can this be done, he has a merit in pacifying the barbarians, how can I ...... him?"
Xu Zhongsu said: "Bixia's words are wrong. ”
The emperor said, "Oh?"
Xu Zhongsu said: "This person has excellent martial arts, if he throws it to others, it will be a big threat to Bixia in the future, although this person has made great achievements, but he has a self-respecting army, Bixia can no longer be used in the future, only to ...... it"
The emperor pondered, and after a long time, he said, "But he is excellent in martial arts, how can he get rid of him?"
Xu Zhongsu said: "Since ancient times, the king called the minister to die, and the minister had to die, if he dared to resist, he could punish his nine clans." ”
The emperor said: "He is not only meritorious in pacifying the thief, but also innocent, what crime will I condemn him?"
Xu Zhongsu said in a low voice: "Deliberately rebelled. ”
The emperor hesitated: "This ...... Will it work?"
Xu Zhongsu said: "Nature works, tomorrow morning, ambush five hundred armor soldiers, as long as he has the heart to resist, he will be killed, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, he can bring his family to the court to threaten." ”
The emperor said: "Okay, Xu Qing's family will arrange it, I am a little sleepy." ”
Xu Zhongsu said: "Bixia is wise. ”
The next day, early in the morning, above the court.
The emperor looked at the courtiers and said, "Pass the decree." ”
A eunuch stepped forward, opened the holy decree, and said loudly in a deflated voice: "During Bai Zhanyun's tenure, he supported the army and respected himself, deliberately rebelled, and committed the nine clans, but he remembered that he was a thief, and I was relieved of the sins of the nine clans, but Bai Zhanyun's crime was unforgivable, so he was escorted out and beheaded at the noon gate." Chin this. ”
After the holy decree was recited, everyone was stunned one by one, even Bai Zhanyun himself didn't know why, some people began to talk about it, and some people began to nod their heads, only Bai Zhanyun, his brain couldn't turn at this time.
Liang Fang stepped forward and said: "Bixia can't, General Bai has merit in leveling thieves and doing his best, this is all seen by Weichen, how can he have the heart of rebellion." ”
Xu Zhongsu stepped forward and said, "Lord Liang means that the Holy Lord has wronged him?" Liang Fang, do you dare to question the Holy Lord's decision and don't want to live?"
Liang Fang said: "Weichen has no such intention, but the hero is not rewarded, but convicted, which makes the people of the world cold, please think twice." ”
Xu Zhongsu said: "Bixia, Bai Zhanyun's crime has been confirmed, Lord Liang is so covered, maybe there is collusion between these two people, according to Weichen's opinion, ......"
The emperor said: "Okay, I have my own arrangements, temporarily put Bai Zhanyun in the heavenly prison, and behead him on a certain day." ”
Liang Fang said: "Bixia ......"
The emperor said: "Whoever asks for a kiss will be guilty of the same crime, and if there is nothing to do, he will retire." ”
Who dared to plead with Bai Zhanyun, standing there one by one, and they didn't dare to come out. Bai Zhanyun suddenly looked up to the sky, laughing so that everyone was surprised and puzzled, only to see Bai Zhanyun staring at the emperor with a pair of eyes, and said hatefully: "Since ancient times, rabbits and dogs have been cooked, and birds have been hidden, I don't want such a thing to fall on me Bai Zhanyun, but I, Bai Zhanyun, am not a lamb to be slaughtered, today, I, Bai Zhanyun, am in this court, asking for justice." ”
As he spoke, his hand changed, and his body suddenly rose into the air.
The surrounding ministers retreated one by one, far away, the emperor was already so frightened that his whole body trembled, and his body did not obey the call, Xu Zhongsu said: "You...... What do you want to do?"
Bai Zhanyun glanced at Xu Zhongsu, and this glance made Xu Zhongsu staggered back, fell to the ground, and couldn't say a word.
Bai Zhanyun's body moved, his body fell, and he slapped Xu Zhongsu's forehead with a palm, and beat Xu Zhongsu's head into meat sauce, his body twitched twice, and he was motionless.
I don't know who shouted: "Someone, escort, escort." ”
Five hundred armor soldiers rushed out of the inner hall with weapons at once, and all the weapons were used against Bai Zhanyun's body.
Bai Zhanyun was caught off guard, he was slashed five or six times at once, each of which was slashed in his back, blood flowed down his body, and Bai Zhanyun, who was in pain, looked up to the sky and roared, and a qi rushed from his body in all directions, and the people and objects close to Bai Zhanyun all flew out towards the rear.
He stood up suddenly, his eyes were blood-red, staring at the emperor, step by step, he walked very slowly, every step was heavy, every step seemed to be walking on the emperor's heart.
The emperor was so frightened that his face was bloodless, and his whole body trembled, such a son of heaven who was usually high and dominated the power of life and death, was frightened by a young man at this time, and his face was full of sorrow.
None of the five hundred armor soldiers dared to take another step, and the civil and military officials stood far away one by one, not daring to speak out.
"Yun'er, Yun'er, what's wrong with you?" Hearing this voice, Bai Zhanyun suddenly paused.
He turned around and saw that it was his mother, and there was endless worry and fear on her kind face.
Bai Zhanyun said: "Mother, you ......"
Before he finished speaking, an official who was holding Su Ru said, "Bai Zhanyun, do you still want to resist, don't you want your mother's life?"
Bai Zhanyun still dared to move, so he had to cry: "Let my mother go, I am willing to confess, I confess." ”
Su Ru said: "Yun'er, don't worry about your mother, you go quickly, go far, don't come back." ”
Bai Zhanyun knelt on the ground and cried: "How can a child leave his mother and run for his life, as long as his mother is well, the child will die without complaint, but the child is unwilling, the child is really unwilling." ”
The big man who grabbed Su Ru said, "Take it down quickly." ”
Several soldiers hesitated for a while, but they still rushed up and tied up Bai Zhanyun.
The emperor looked at Bai Zhanyun who was being tied, his face slowly showed blood, and he said in a trembling voice: "Push it out of the noon gate and behead it." ”
Bai Zhanyun was pushed and shouted out of the court by everyone like this, and Su Ru was so frightened that she fell to the ground, her eyes were dark, and she was unconscious.
Bai Zhanyun was pressed at the noon gate, and everyone immediately hugged him, making no more noise, talking to each other one by one, not knowing what to say.
"The emperor has arrived!" With a clear shout, countless people all retreated, only to see hundreds of civil and military officials surrounding the emperor, walking through the crowd and going up to the high platform.
The eunuch beside the emperor stepped forward and said: "Bai Zhanyun doesn't think about the emperor's grace, deliberately rebels, and wants to kill Bixia, fortunately, the heavens are clear, Bixia is wise, take it down, and now the noon gate is beheaded to show the public, in order to set an example, execution!"
Bai Zhanyun looked up at the sky and said sadly: "If you want to add sin, there is no excuse." After that, he stared at the emperor and said, "If you dare to hurt my mother, Bai Zhanyun will not let you go." ”
The emperor was so frightened that he could barely sit still, and said loudly: "Chop, chop, chop, chop......"
Above the sky, the wind and clouds changed, the sunlight hid in the clouds, the wind blew fiercely, blowing people to stand unsteadily, Bai Zhanyun's body, suddenly rushed out of a pillar of blue and blue light, a dragon roar shook through the nine heavens, the ground was full of dust, and a qi Lang rushed out from the pillar of light in all directions, shaking the executioner backwards.
This pillar of light rushed out, but Bai Zhanyun was already unconscious, and a behemoth rushed down from the pillar of light, screaming again and again, biting Bai Zhanyun in one bite, circling around the Dharma field, and rising into the sky.
After the wind stopped, the field was already destroyed, everything was crooked, and the emperor was so frightened that he fell to the ground, his body trembled, and his mouth kept shouting "spare your life, spare your life......
Looking at the law field that had returned to calm, they began to talk again, but the emperor was so frightened that he was completely distracted, and was supported by the eunuch and retreated.
On the same day, the emperor was furious and said: "Behead all Bai Zhanyun's family and make every effort to arrest Bai Zhanyun!"
Liang Fang repeatedly dissuaded, but it was useless, the more he persuaded the emperor, the more angry he became, and he almost pushed Liang Fang out and beheaded, Zuihou was dissuaded by hundreds of officials and put him in prison.
