Chapter 114 (II) The Old Loyal Servant Reveals the Truth
At this moment, the sound of trumpets was heard everywhere, and countless officers and soldiers flocked from all directions.
Everyone had been discussing the matter of Lu Ya before, and no one had noticed that there were so many officers and soldiers gathered around, and unlike the officers and soldiers they had seen before, this team was silent and well-trained. There are also many masters of internal strength among the crowd, but because they listened attentively to the speech on the stage, they didn't notice it at all. Everyone was shocked and grabbed their swords in their hands.
There were 5,000 officers and men, all of them about 20 years old, nine feet tall, carrying two swords behind their backs, all of them were full of energy, magnificent, neatly dressed, and looked as if they all looked the same from a distance. In the front row, there were 100 officers and soldiers holding firearms and firing them at the sky. Everyone, including Lu Ya, was terrified.
Lu Ya thought to himself: This must be the most elite soldier in the imperial court, it seems that Zhang Jue must have arrived.
Sure enough, as Lu Ya expected, the gunshots rang out, and a white-clothed scholar walked out behind the officers and soldiers, holding a feather fan in his hand and smiling, it was not who Zhang Qi was, but his most powerful flying chain knife was not on his body.
Qin Wandong said angrily: "Since it is a gathering in the martial arts, how can there be people from the imperial court?
Yang Qinhu's face was frosty, and he did not answer.
In this gathering, there were people from all sects, not all of them from the side of Zhongyi Island, but there were also some neutral sects and sects close to the imperial court. Seeing Zhang Jue's sudden arrival, although he felt a little surprised, he was not very afraid, but someone stepped forward to greet Zhang Jue, "Lord Zhang." The little one is here for you. ”
Zhang Jue smiled and nodded. Then he walked alone through the crowd of saber-rattling, without the slightest hint of fear. Although those people had blades in their hands, they all knew that Zhang Jue was a first-class master, and no one dared to provoke him first. Watch him walk past him.
Zhang Jue walked to the front of the high platform, there were still five or six zhang away from there, and he didn't see how hard he worked, and the whole person rose into the air, his clothes fluttering. Like a fairy, he fell to the ground, and the folding fan in his hand shook. Turning around leisurely, the movements are extremely chic. Those who were holding swords secretly rejoiced that they hadn't made a rash move just now. This Zhang Qi's martial arts are really much stronger than himself. Recklessness is nothing more than self-inflicted humiliation.
Zhang Qi smiled at Yang Qinhu, "General Yang, Lord Rui wants to get rid of Lu Ya with the help of others, it seems that it is impossible, and in the end he has to rely on the imperial court." ”
Yang Qinhu didn't say anything, and retreated behind Zhang Jue, looking extremely respectful.
Everyone wondered what was going on. Why is Yang Qinhu so polite to Zhang Qi?
Qin Wandong's temper was the most irritable, and he couldn't help but ask, "The surname is Yang." What the hell is going on? Why don't we who are fellow White Lotus Sect know anything?"
Zou Tianji and Yan Baolong also said, "Yes, how did Zhang Qi know that we were gathering here?
Zhang Qi hugged his fists and bowed his hands to everyone, gave a salute first, and said with a smile: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, Yang Qinhu, has already returned to the imperial court, and will be feudal in the future, and there will be no White Lotus Sect again!"
"What?"
"How is this possible?"
"Yang Qinhu, I'll fuck your eighth-generation ancestors!" ......
The group of people did not believe it at first, but then gradually turned angry and scolded Yang Qinhu.
Yang Qinhu's face was red and white for a while, and he didn't speak all the time. Lu Ya was also quite surprised, no matter what, he couldn't imagine that Yang Qinhu would rebel.
Huoyun shouted: "Yang Qinhu, are you worthy of the emperor by doing this? Are you worthy of Taifu? Are you worthy of the Great Song Dynasty?" Although he was at the end of the line, the musket of the musket team pointed at his back, but Huoyun was indignant and could not care about life and death.
Zhang Qi said in a loud voice: "You don't have to be excited, General Yang didn't feel sorry for the Great Song Dynasty by doing this, because the Great Song Dynasty has long since died in the country." ”
"Fart!"
"Da Song won't die!"
"We are born as people of the Great Song Dynasty, and we are ghosts of the Great Song Dynasty when we die!"
"We will not obey the Tartars!" ......
Qin Wandong's eyes were red, he pulled out a big knife, rushed to Zhang Jue, raised his knife and slashed, Zhang Jue's footsteps stepped back gently, the sword grazed the tip of his nose, and fell straight down, cutting off a corner of his clothes. Zhang Jue didn't wait for Qin Wandong to make the second move, he closed the folding fan in his hand and pressed it on Qin Wandong's shoulder, Qin Wandong only felt that there was a thousand forces on his shoulder, his knees were weak, and he couldn't help but fall to the ground.
There was a person beside Lu Ya who roared, "Kill all the Tartars!" raised his knife and rushed out of the crowd and killed the Yuan soldiers, and Lu Ya didn't have time to stop it, only to hear a few loud bangs, and the man fell to the ground and died on the spot.
Someone on the stage had already tied Qin Wandong into a knot, and Zhang Qi shouted: "Don't run around, the fire gun doesn't have eyes, as long as you listen to me, I promise not to hurt you!"
"If there's a fart, let it go!"
Despite the constant cursing from the audience, Zhang Jue was not angry, smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Please Lord Rui!"
Behind the hotel, drums suddenly sounded, all doors and windows, flags and banners, some old ministers at the end of the Song Dynasty were escorted out of it, and the last person, who was wearing a dragon robe, but did not wear a hat, lowered his head and walked up to the high platform.
All the people of Zhongyi Island knelt on the ground and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Zhao Yu didn't know what to say, but his eyes were already full of tears, and he beckoned down, "Zhongqing...... "The voice ...... flat is faint and almost inaudible.
Zhang Jue turned his head to look at Zhao Yu, then turned his head and said loudly: "Your emperor called you up!"
None of them would get up, but remained on their knees. Zhao Yu sighed and stopped talking.
Huoyun had already understood at this time, it turned out that this matter had been premeditated, no wonder he didn't ask me to enter the door when he went to Zhongyi Island, stood up and shouted: "Your Majesty, why are you standing with Zhang Jue?"
Zhang Qi said loudly: "I have already said that there is no emperor, there is only King Rui!"
Huoyun said angrily: "It's not your turn to speak!"
Zhao Hao said: "Now that the Yuan army is pressing, and there are powerful firearms and cannons, it is difficult to achieve the land of Zhongyi Island after all. Three months ago, Lord Zhang sent people to the wine shop by the lake and left a letter from Emperor Gong Zhao Xian, which was stamped with the seal of a jade seal, urging me to surrender.
He said in the letter: The defeat of the Great Song Dynasty has been irreversible, and it is not something that can be reversed by manpower, our brother ascended the throne at a young age, and no one has ever asked us if we are willing, only blame me and him for being surnamed Zhao, blame us for being born in the emperor's family.
My brother is right, in fact, I don't want to be this emperor anymore, and I am at the mercy of others all day long. Moreover, the Hot Steamer in Xian Cangshan has been completed, and Zhongyi Island may not be able to hold it. So I took this opportunity to pretend to send the Jiang family and his son to the southern Xinjiang secretly to find Taifu to move troops for help, and asked Yang Qinhu to put Prime Minister Lu under house arrest, all for today's business.
I convene you here today, first, I want to avenge Lu Ya's hatred for taking his wife, and second, I just ask you to be a witness, and there will be no more Great Song Dynasty from now on. All the families and brothers of Zhongyi Island, if you are willing to enter the capital as an official, you will go with Lord Zhang, and if you are not willing to be an official, you will be given 50 taels of gold and silver to settle down for the year. Heroes of the Green Forest, now Zhao Yu is no longer the emperor, and there is no need to mention the revival of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
After speaking, he took out an object from his sleeve and held it in the air, "This is the widow's abdication edict!"
As the people of Chungyi Island listened, they wept bitterly,
After Zhao Yu finished speaking, there was a big chaos.
"Impossible!"
"Emperor Gong's letter must be fake!"
"How can this be!"
"Where is the Emperor?" ......
Some old ministers kept touching their heads to the bottom and kowtowed to the bottom of their heads; some people bitterly scolded Zhang Qi for making conspiracies and tricks to deceive Zhao Yu; some people shouted bitter persuasion; and even worse, they simply ran their heads to death under the high platform.
Everyone felt heartbroken, although a group of loyal ministers swore to defend Zhao Song and the country, how could Zhao Yu not want to work hard.
Suddenly, I heard a shout from the hotel upstairs: "Pity me, the Great Song Dynasty has no hope of recovering the country, there is no hope of recovering the country!" Everyone raised their eyes and saw Lu Xiufu standing at the window with his hands tied behind his back, already full of tears.
Zhao Yu turned his head, looked at Lu Xiufu, and said: "Prime Minister Lu, please forgive me, since I was a child, I have been trapped on the island since I was a child, for ten years, I have only been to Suzhou and Hangzhou once, I don't know what the real world is, what is the real happiness, even my own life's events, I can't make my own decisions, I can't find a person who really likes and likes me." Zhongyi Island is the entire Great Song Dynasty to you, but it is a purgatory-like cage for me. After the abdication, I don't want to be a Rui king, I just want to live some ordinary people's lives. ”
The two looked at each other, both with teary eyes, Lu Xiufu sighed and said, "Your Majesty! I have really wronged you all these years." 'Kong said to be benevolent, Meng said to take righteousness, only its righteousness is exhausted, so benevolence is the best. What do you learn when you read the books of the sages? With that, he closed his eyes, turned his head to the ground, and went down from the upper floor. (To be continued......)
