Chapter 118: Siege of the Imperial City
"Millions of people, only a little more?"
Sima Guang sweated all at once, he stared at Grandpa An, his eyes burst out like dead fish eyes, as if he wanted to eat people.
"Is that true?"
"If it weren't for that, we wouldn't be in such a hurry to ask you to leave. Gonggong An took a small step back slightly, "Sima Xianggong, there is something more serious than this, you should go to the palace with our family first, and our family will talk to you in detail on the way." β
"Is there anything worse?"
Sima Guang almost roared in a low voice, the capital of a country, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, riots all over the city, a change of dynasty is possible, what is more serious?
Sima Guang took a breath, and he didn't care about wearing an official uniform, so he ran forward directly, and said in a deep voice at the same time: "At this time, safety is the first priority, the Queen Mother should order the Imperial Forest Army to strengthen the guard, and at the same time send someone to send someone to escort the Xiang Army, I don't know if the Queen Mother has mobilized the Xiang Army in addition to ordering someone to call me to the court, if not, we will go to the military camp first." β
"Xiang Jun?"
Grandpa An's expression was extremely ugly and complicated.
"Sima Xianggong, if the Xiang army can still be mobilized, the Queen Mother will not be in such a hurry. β
Sima Guangshu turned his head and glared at Grandpa An.
"Why can't the Xiang army move?"
"My Sima Xianggong, when my father came, more than forty percent of the Xiang army had already joined the parade and riot procession, as for now, it is already God's blessing to be able to have such two or three percent not act rashly. Grandpa An said with a sharp duck voice.
Rumble!
Sima Guang's whole body trembled slightly, and there was no trace of blood on his face.
The number of Xiang troops in the Great Song Dynasty is the largest, and Bianliang, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, is the top priority, and there is no room for error, and the Xiang army troops stationed in Gongwei account for a very heavy proportion.
The van army rioted, as long as there was a malicious intention. Don't talk about him Sima Guang, even if the gods descend to earth, they are powerless to return to the sky.
"How so?"
"What's going on?"
Sima Guang's head almost fell into a blank situation, Wang Anshi's changes made a mess of the world, and he Sima Guang came out of the mountain to turn the tide and save the people in the world from hanging upside down. And he Sima Guang is the prime minister, sparing no effort to abolish the new law, depreciating the new party, and almost destroying the traces left by Wang Anshi, it can be said that Sima Guang is very proud, thinking that the subjects of the world must be grateful to him Sima Guang, so he almost burned incense to worship and set up a shrine.
If it weren't for Qin Xianao's birth, he Sima Guang would have been able to laugh and retire. Wander the rivers and lakes to find another avenue.
Now it's actually ......
It wasn't until he ran out of Xu Yuan that Sima Guang slowly came back to his senses.
"Father-in-law An, can you know the source of the riot?" Sima Guang said in a deep voice.
Father-in-law An smiled bitterly: "What else can it be, isn't it just that exempt from endowment." β
"No endowment!"
The green tendons on Sima Guang's forehead protruded.
Sima Guang, Lu Gong, Wen Yanbo, Han Zhongyan...... As soon as they heard the news of the riot, they immediately thought of mobilizing the army for bloody suppression, but they didn't expect that the Xiang army actually participated in the riot on a large scale, and they were really dumbfounded.
Sima Guang's Prime Minister's Residence.
The huge parade smashed the procession and rushed wildly.
"What are you doing?" shouted the old man, standing at the doorway, with a big grin. "Sima Xianggong has always been poor, and there is nothing to smash. I just hope that your subordinates will be merciful and not destroy the manuscripts of Xianggong's books, which are important documents to solve the topic of Qin Xianao. β
"Whether Sima Guang is poor or not, we don't know, everyone will know when they go in and smash it!"
"That old man, tell Sima Guang to come out!"
"Old Zhuangtou. Hurry up and get out of the way and let Sima Xiangye dodge. β
......
Roaring one by one, a beautiful and talented person in front of the crowd glared at the old Zhuang head: "This old man, is Sima Xianggong not there?" Let him come out and explain, otherwise ......"
"This gentleman, my grandfather has just been called into the court. The old Zhuang said in a deep voice.
"Shang Chaotang?" Quan Guanqing's eyes rolled slightly.
"Full helm master. Suddenly, a person strode to Quan Guanqing's side, "Just now, Lord Wu Xiang came to report, and many teams went to the palace, and many of them here are Xiang Jun." β
"The Xiang army is besieging the palace?" Quan Guanqing's eyes lit up.
"Brother Han, tell everyone, the situation has changed, let all the teams with the participation of the Xiang army be confused to besiege the palace, it is best to copy the guys, and it doesn't matter if they are tempted to do something illegal and disciplined. β
"This, Helmsman, I'm afraid this ......" The leader of the beggar gang surnamed Han frowned slightly.
"Can we still take it now?" Quan Guanqing sneered, "If it's just a parade, it's fine, but look at it, smash and smash, many wealthy families, gentry, and big officials in this Bianliang City have suffered, and the imperial court is already inseparable from us, and we have to send arrows on the bow, so we can only make things bigger." β
"But the reason?" Han Xiang still shook his head.
"Welcome the King of Qin, don't accept food!" Quan Guanqing gritted his teeth and burst out of his mouth.
"Welcome the King of Qin, don't pay for food?"
Han Xiangzhu's forehead was like beads of sweat, and his eyes widened.
"Let's just say that the imperial court wants to settle accounts after the autumn, and the imperial court wants to toss the people, there is a way, even if it is agreed now, but in the first half of the year, a year or two, the prince of Qin Xian Ao will find a way to kill him in the city, can this exemption still be carried out?"
"Ahh
"So only by driving away the Zhao Guan's family, ushering in the Qin Guan's family, and bringing Qin Xian Ao to the stage, can we lead us to the realm of immortals!" Quan Guanqing said in a deep voice, looking at the sweaty Han Xiang Lord, Quan Guanqing's face was a tiger, "Han Xiaohu, this time it is a knife to stretch out your head, and it is also a knife to shrink your head, now you can't miss the opportunity, and if you really usher in King Qin as the new son of heaven, you and I will be the founding heroes, you Han Xiaohu, since you are called 'Xiaohu', don't be like a cat." β
"This ......" Han Xiaohu gritted his teeth, "That's right, the arrow is on the bow, I have to send it!"
"I'll do this, here you will lead, take people to smash this Sima Mansion, and then go to the palace. Quan Guanqing commanded, and rushed to the other side of the street.
......
There are thousands of smart people in the world, there are thousands of speculators, Quan Guanqing saw this opportunity, and at the same time, one by one, he also saw this opportunity, especially some people who had not been beaten down, and even forced to be cornered, all of them thought of the same place as Quan Guanqing.
Time passes.
A mile away from the gate of the palace, Sima Guang and Gonggong An rushed to the palace, their eyes swept away, their faces were even more ugly, the gate of the imperial gate was open, and countless van troops drove straight in.
"Grandpa An, what's going on?"
"Xiangye, this ...... When we came out, the gate was still guarded, this ......" Grandpa An glared.
"Stop, get out of the way, Master Sima Guang!" Sima Guang shouted and walked towards the rioting crowd.
There was a group of forbidden soldiers in this crowd watching the arrival of Sima Guang and Gonggong An from a distance, and one of the leaders squinted his eyes, as if he was thinking.
"Brother Zhou, Sima Xianggong is here, we ...... now"
"What if Sima Guang comes? Everyone has broken into the palace, and they are either making trouble or making trouble, and they can only stab them to the end. Zhou Tong sneered, grabbed a straw sandal on the ground, and threw it at Sima Guang.
And then-
"Hit!"
"How dare you pretend to be Sima Guang?"
"What about Sima Guang?
One by one, shoes and stones smashed at Sima Guang, and some people even rushed towards Sima Guang.
"Traitor, be bold! Kill!" Sima Guang roared.
"Xiangye, a good man doesn't suffer immediate losses. Gonggong An pulled out the smashed thing, and even comforted Sima Guang, "Let's avoid it first, and then find a way to quietly blend into the palace." β
"Damn it!"
"Traitors and thieves!"
Sima Guang's eyes were red and bloody, and he couldn't avoid the things that were smashed on his head and face, so he rushed forward with red eyes. Gonggong An frowned slightly: "This Sima Xiangye has been angry and bloody, and he doesn't care about his life, the Queen Mother values him the most, let me invite him, if something happens......" Gonggong An waved his hand, clicked Sima Guang's acupoint, and fled as if he was holding Sima Guangfei.
Not long after Gonggong An carried Sima Guang away, Gongzhu Lu also arrived, and when he saw that the palace was attacked, old tears flowed down.
The palace was indeed breached, or most of it was occupied, for the simple reason that it was captured.
Although it stands to reason that the Imperial Forest Army, or some of the forbidden armies, will not rebel, but in the current situation, it is not known how many people in the entire Bianliang City have joined this riot march.
You pit the Imperial Forest Army against the Xiang Army, and launch an offensive against the people who stormed the palace.
You haven't pulled out your knife yet, and suddenly you're on the other sideβ
"Second Brother Liu, it's me, don't do stupid things, now the whole city is rebelling, and your family is also marching!"
"Uncle Li, don't do it, your father told you to protect yourself. β
"Zhang Gouzi, you tell the above, everyone is just exempt from taxation, not a real rebellion!"
......
One by one, they shouted.
Not much, as long as there are so many people shouting, and even some are simply shouting indiscriminately, but the whole army is in chaos, they are all Bianliang locals, and there are no modern mobile phones to communicate, the intelligence is unknown, no one dares to guarantee that your wife and children, brothers and sisters will not participate in this parade, and dare not guarantee that you will kill your relatives, or even neighbors and friends as soon as you start killing.
Therefore, the Imperial Forest Army finally picked on the picks, anyway, these chaotic people are just robbing things and forcing the minister to kill people.
The Imperial Guards made the homeless people even more crazy, so they easily entered the palace all the way.
At this moment, the inner courtyard of the palace, where the treasury is located, is tightly guarded by teams of imperial forest troops, and inside are the Empress Dowager Gao, the eunuchs, and the officials.
In front of the Imperial Forest Army were the chaotic people besieging the palace and the Xiang army, and the two sides confronted each other peacefully. (To be continued......)
