Volume 1 Chapter 557 Soldiers are coming
"General Xie, haven't they come back yet?"
King Huiji asked and took another sip of wine, and glanced at the courtiers with a little puzzled eyes, not a single Xie courtier could not be seen, Xie Chao and the others thought that Xie Xuan was guarding the spirit, so they did not come to the court for a few days.
When they returned to the capital from Beifu, it would certainly take a long time for ordinary people to travel by land, but those Xie clan disciples knew a lot of flying skills, and they also had mounts such as spirit cranes and flying swords, so how could four or five days be enough for them to come back, so why didn't they have any sound at all? Do they want to avoid this funeral?
"Back to Taifu, there is no news of General Xie and others, and the heralds sent by the capital have not returned so far. Wang Guobao replied respectfully, which was also a little strange.
"Could it be that something happened to the herald and didn't deliver the news?" said King Huiji, frowning.
Wang Guobao guessed: "The possibility is very small, Weichen thinks that the Xie clan will also send someone to inform you...... Maybe it was General Xie who was delayed on their way. ”
"yes. Wechen also thinks so. "The courtiers were only submissive, and they didn't dare to say anything different
King Huiji shook the wine jug gently, "It's really worrying, hey, General Xie, because they are guarding the frontier, they can't even see the last side of Kang Legong, this king is heartbroken, this time back to Beijing, they don't want to go anymore, it's the same to contribute to the country in the capital, and the state affairs are heavy, and this king needs more talented helpers." ”
As he spoke, he watched the courtiers' expressions with drunken eyes.
The courtiers had different expressions, and who did not know the intentions of the king? If anyone dared to oppose it now, how could it end well, at least the official position would not be kept.
Wang Gong's stinky temper before, he was against King Huiji everywhere, but he had no power and ability, and in the end he was so squeezed out by King Huiji that he could only consciously go back to his hometown in Taiyuan, otherwise his life would not be guaranteed.
And it's not just that the officials of the Xie clan don't come to the court, but those who are not from the camp of King Huiji basically don't come to be angry, so these people in the court are just a group of echo worms.
"General Xie has made a lot of contributions in the past two years, in your opinion, what kind of civil official should this king let him be?"
"I don't know. The courtiers said one after another, how dare they talk nonsense.
That is, Wang Guobao dared to smile and said: "General Xie is known for his literary talent, and when he was young, he also said that he had a talent, Weichen felt that letting General Xie go to Yuefu, or to serve in the land of the Hanlin Academy, could not only give full play to his talent, but also let General Xie take a break, and the world could also appreciate General Xie's literary talent, wouldn't it be wonderful."
Yuefu Hanlin Academy, those are just some idle jobs that are not in the stream, the courtiers muttered in their hearts, in addition to compiling the elegant songs of various places and compiling the poems and songs of the Quartet, what else can be done?
"Haha" King Huiji laughed, but he was very happy, this kingdom treasure really knows the heart of the king.
He smiled and said, "Wonderful, wonderful, it's decided, let General Xie be the master of Yuefu." Maybe next year we will be able to enjoy the music written by the editor-in-chief of Xie Fu, it's exciting to think about, haha"
From the lord of the Beifu Mansion to the lord of the Yuefu Mansion, interesting, interesting, the more the King laughed, the more cheerful he became, and he raised the pot again and again to drink. Seeing this situation, how dare the courtiers not laugh, and Wang Guobao had a lot of fun together, making fun of this matter that has not yet come true but has become a foregone conclusion, and the decline of the Xie family cannot be stopped by manpower.
"Urgent-urgent-"
Suddenly, a panicked shout came into the Jinluan Palace, a eunuch from the Yellow Gate rushed into the hall, knelt on the ground, and everyone couldn't help frowning with a frightened face, the face of the King of Huiji was gloomy, and Wang Guobao had already angrily reprimanded: "What is the fuss that disturbed the majesty of the early dynasty, what should I be guilty of?"
"My lords, the slave is guilty, ......" The eunuch of the Yellow Gate swallowed his saliva and said with a pale face: "But there is an urgent report from the officers and soldiers of Feihe, thank you, thank you for justice...... Rebelled"
"What?" A shocked voice resounded through the hall, especially the old faces of King Huiji and Wang Guobao turned red with anxiety, and rebelled? King Huiji laughed angrily: "Quickly say it clearly, how can Xie Gongyi rebel."
The eunuch of the Yellow Gate is just a messenger, where can he say it clearly, and he is really anxious for everyone. King Huiji reacted suddenly, and was even more furious, and asked the guards to behead the eunuch at noon, and the eunuch of the Yellow Gate was frightened, and he collapsed there and couldn't get up, and was dragged away by several burly guards, crying out sadly: "Spare your life...... The prince spares his life......"
At the same time, the Feihe officers and soldiers who came to report entered the hall, and after giving the salute, he hurriedly said: "Xie Gongyi wrote a letter to crusade against the king of Huiji and the king's servants, and spread it to the world, saying that he would come to the capital to Qin Wang and the side of the Qing monarch...... The entire Beifu rebelled against Xie Gongyi and left the Northern Regions with his soldiers and horses, and came straight to the divine capital, and came from Taiyuan overnight, calculating that the rebels are now only about 200 miles away......"
"Two hundred miles, how is it possible" The anger of the king of Huiji exploded again, there are more than two hundred miles between the capital and Beifu, if the Beifu soldiers are reversed, such a big movement, someone should have reported it a long time ago, how can it be that there are only two hundred miles left before it is revealed
Wang Guobao was also surprised, but after thinking about it, he was a little lucky, and asked, "How many rebels are there?"
By the way, only a few hundred people can be so concealed King Huiji suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the other courtiers also wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads, hundreds of people couldn't make a fuss, and the 200,000 Yulin Army could drown them with a mouthful of saliva.
"No, it's not ......" The words of the officers and soldiers trembled a little, remembering the overwhelming scene and the unstoppable morale, he was frightened, and said with difficulty: "The number of rebels is at least more than 100,000......
The Dead Silence Jinluan Hall instantly became like the Hall of Hades, and the courtiers were all dumbfounded, and a cold aura rushed up from the tail keel and rushed straight to the Heavenly Spirit Gai, and the whole person was like falling into an ice cave
Is there a ...... in the world that can resist 100,000 Beifu soldiers?
A million demon army can't do it, let alone 200,000 Yulin army...... But they knew very well that those Yulin troops would not fight, and would only open the city gate to welcome the Beifu soldiers in; There are also sect monks from Shangqing Palace, White Horse Temple, etc., they will not fight; The people will not fight except for the 50,000 personal soldiers brought by the king of Huiji from the fiefdom......
In fact, whether the 50,000 pro-soldiers will fight is still a question, and that is the invincible Beifu soldiers of the Beifu Army
The active minds of the courtiers have already thought of "after", after King Huiji withdrew from the court, Xie Lingyun took power, so what happened to these "cronies of King Huiji"?
The only thing they can be sure of now is that Wang Guobao is dead
"You, are you serious?" Wang Guobao asked in a daze, and he couldn't come back to his senses, "One hundred thousand Beifu soldiers rebelled, and we came to two hundred miles, so we only knew?"
"I don't know what to do...... The Beifu army seems to have implemented some kind of big formation, and they came quickly from heaven and earth...... And there was no fighting everywhere along the way......," the officers and men said bitterly.
The "waste" Huiji King suddenly scolded angrily, threw the wine jug in his hand at the officers and soldiers, and bang-
The officers and soldiers screamed, their heads were smashed and bleeding, and the king of Huiji asked angrily: "What else do you know?" The officers and soldiers said in a hurry: "The lowly post knows this, and the lowly post is just ordered to report urgently...... "The king of Huiji immediately shouted: "Come on, drag this waste down and behead it" The officers and soldiers were so frightened that they almost fainted to death, "spare your life, spare your life"
"Chop, chop, chop, chop"
In the hysterical shouts of the king of Huiji, several forbidden soldiers came up and dragged the officers and soldiers out of the main hall, Rao is like this, the king of Huiji is still angry, King Qin, Qingjun side, damn Xie Lingyun, damn Xie wants to oppose this king, this king will not let you go
He glared at the courtiers and said angrily, "What now? What are you wastes going to do but not speak?"
No one speaks, just as no one has a way, unless the gods come down to earth and are willing to help the king......
"Speak"
"Taifu, Xie Fu ......," Wang Guobao said in a deep voice.
"That's right, Xie Mansion, this king will send troops to surround Xie Mansion" The murderous intent in King Huiji's eyes was fully revealed, and the drunken spirit had already woken up, he wanted to understand why the Xie courtiers would shrink up these days, it turned out that they had long known about Xie Lingyun's rebellion and rebellion, and these rebellious ministers and thieves should be exterminated
"Lord, I'm afraid this is not appropriate" Finally, a minister couldn't help but speak, "Kang Le Gong has just passed away, and all the people are mourning, if the prince leads troops to surround Xie Mansion, I am afraid it will arouse the anger of the people in the capital, and the soldiers of Beifu have ...... before they arrive."
King Huiji raised his eyebrows, knowing that this statement was reasonable, and Xie Mansion was already guarded by Beifu soldiers, and there were many high-ranking people in rumors, so it was not easy to fight......
"And what are your plans?"
The old minister looked at Wang Guobao and said, "Xie Gongyi's dispatch of troops is to crusade against the prince and the king's servants...... With all due respect, the king's servant relied on the trust of the prince, concealed the prince's back, indulged in extravagance, and connived at his subordinates to do many things that aroused public resentment. As long as the prince executes the king's servant and calms down the people's grievances, Xie Gongyi's name as a teacher will no longer exist, and the prince will be able to calm the turmoil without blood."
"What are you talking about this old thief" Wang Guobao was already furious, and he rushed over with his fist, about to beat the other party to death
There was chaos in the Jinluan Palace
On this day, the news that Xie Lingyun led 100,000 Beifu soldiers into King Qin spread throughout the capital
I don't know if it was done by the Xie family, or who, his inscription was also spread all over the Shendu, and everyone who heard about it had to praise "good", King Huiji and Wang Guobao, the two old thieves who brought disaster to the country and the people, and the people wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible
"Okay, it's okay, it's time to open my eyes, General Xie has come to rescue us"
"Hahaha, the hard days are coming to an end, Kang Le Gong is not here, we have a thank you again"
"100,000 Beifu soldiers, scare those thieves to death, haha"
In the streets and alleys of the Shendu, the people cheered, because too many people did this, even the patrolling officials and the Yulin Army, so everyone did not shy away from it, and they laughed and talked one after another. They looked at the northern sky, looking forward to the appearance of those heroic figures, why haven't they come? Why haven't they arrived?
Changle Fang was jubilant, many residents were so excited that they wept, as soon as General Xie arrived with the Beifu soldiers, after understanding the situation, the 24 people including the old man Zhang who were arrested will definitely be acquitted
Shangqing Palace, White Horse Temple and other sects all ushered in the door of the Huiji Wang's personal army, and received an invitation to go to the Huiji Wang's palace to discuss countermeasures against the enemy, but they only agreed to go...... Not yet.
At this time, all the cultivators just wanted to stay out of the matter, and they didn't want to act for the tiger.
Xie Mansion, shrouded in sadness, when the news came, except for Xie Chao and a few others, even Xie Yuejing was shocked, they only knew that they couldn't leave the mansion a few days ago, and now they know the real reason, Ah Ke turned out to be just they were at ease, because of the death of Kang Le Gong and the dazed feeling for Xie Shi, disappeared, just hand it over to Ah Ke.
However, thousands of Yulin troops followed, and they surrounded the Xie Mansion with the gate closed, but they did not intend to forcibly attack the mansion, nor did they invade the upper air of the Xie Mansion for half a step.
Xie Fu is naturally ready to fight, the guards and war beasts are sticking to their posts, and they will never retreat half a step Xie Chao ordered everyone to defend it, in fact, as long as Uncle Zhong is there, as well as the monks such as the Ten Thousand Sword Sect who came to help early, there is no danger.
As the night rose, the palace of the king of Huiji, the magnificent palace hall, was full of people from the camp of the king of Huiji, discussing countermeasures.
Wang Guobao was not at the table, he had been arrested by the Huiji soldiers and imprisoned in the prison cell in the mansion. King Huiji will not understand the truth of abandoning the car to protect the handsome, if it reaches the point where he has to give up, he will not be half soft
But in the final analysis, abandoning the car to protect the marshal means that he admits it, but he just wants to save his life, Taifu can't continue to be a master, and he probably can't go back, which is certainly not what he wants
He wanted to defeat the rebels and decapitate Xie Lingyun
"How is it? does anyone have a way?" Above the hall, King Huiji kept pouring wine, but he didn't feel the slightest sorrow, and he was angry.
It's really not easy to think of a way to return to heaven, and among the people present, only the two of them, Yuanxian and the Nine Emperors, seem to have an idea. That Shizi Yuanxian was twenty-three or four years old, with a handsome face and luxurious clothes, because he was also addicted to drinking all the year round, there was a drunken state in his expression, but his eyes were faintly shining, but he was an ambitious young man.
King Huiji looked at his son first and asked, "My son, what do you think?"
"Dad, I have someone available. Shizi Yuanxian said at this time, but he was not sure: "It is Liu Jingxuan, the son of Liu Gaozhi, the governor of Beifu." ”
King Huiji suddenly remembered this person, his eyes lit up, and he said with great joy: "Liu Jingxuan, why did I forget him? He has been in the army under you for a few years."
Liu Jingxuan first joined the army in Beifu, but because Liu Gaozhi was a little careful, Liu Jingxuan left Beifu and defected to the Huiji camp. But the father and son of King Huiji were not sure whether Liu Jingxuan was a spy or not, and was sent by the Beifu to monitor them, so they never reused him, and only gave him a position to join the army.
"Exactly. Shizi Yuanxian nodded and said: "After several years of observation, I see that Liu Jingxuan does have the intention of surrendering to sincerity, and we can use him to promise Liu Gaozhi heavy benefits, win him over, cooperate with the outside and kill Xie Gongyi."
Everyone couldn't help but applaud when they heard this, of course Liu Jiaozhi was much more powerful than Xie Lingyun, as long as he betrayed, Xie Lingyun would definitely die and King Ji also smiled: "It's so good, why didn't my son say it earlier, haha"
Shizi Yuanxian has some concerns, "Recently, Liu Jingxuan and Xie Bian have been very close, I don't know if he has changed his mind......"
The "two-faced villain" King Huiji was furious, smashed another wine glass, and said angrily: "Try it, if that kid doesn't know how to lift, he will be arrested, and this king wants to see what Liu Dudu can do to redeem his son's life." ”
"Uncle Wang, when it comes ...... this kind of scheme," the Nine Emperor Princes laughed at this time, but did not continue to talk about it.
Since he lost the spirit beast competition two years ago and lost a big ugly, not only has his cultivation stagnated, but his reputation has also been declining day by day, the louder Xie Lingyun's name is, the more his failure is set off, making him a long-lasting joke in the mouths of the people. He was so angry that he couldn't do anything about it, but now his chance had come.
"What can the imperial nephew do?" King Huiji and everyone turned their eyes to him, more or less clear about his nature, and his tricks can be described as first-class and dangerous.
"I also know that a person can threaten Xie Gongyi. The corners of the Nine Emperors' mouths raised, and his voice lowered a little: "Queen Mother." ”
Everyone was stunned, quite unexpectedly, and the king of Huiji asked, and the prince Yuanxian couldn't help but say: "Brother Huang, don't sell Guanzi, what's the matter?"
Only then did the Nine Emperor Princes say leisurely: "Two years ago, in the royal garden outside the northern city, I happened to bump into the adultery between Xie Gongyi and the current queen mother...... My brother Emperor Han is pitiful, and I thought Xie Gongyi treated him well, but you also know the situation, so I didn't pursue the matter, and let it go......"
King Huiji didn't care at all what he thought, and asked anxiously, "Are you really sure that Xie Gongyi cares about that Wang family girl?"
"I'm very sure, and there is a maid named Begonia next to the queen's mother, who is Xie Gongyi's concubine, who was sent to do the internal response. The Nine Emperor Princes laughed sinister and looked at everyone, "As long as we arrest the two of them, it will be equivalent to capturing Xie Gongyi's heart, haha, I am also looking forward to seeing what he will do to redeem their lives at that time." ”
"Okay" King Huiji couldn't help but applaud, feeling that the situation was suddenly completely different, I thought that I couldn't catch the people of Xie Mansion, and I couldn't threaten Xie Lingyun, but I didn't think about it, haha, God help me
Shizi Yuanxian was a little worried: "It's good, but if you catch the queen's mother, will you involve the Wang family......" Now the Wang family is almost out of the way, but Wang Shenai was arrested, and it is impossible for the Wang family not to react.
"This is easy to do, we first put the queen under house arrest and arrested that begonia, Xie Gongyi saw it, and naturally understood everything. The Nine Emperor Princes sneered.
"Hahahaha, that's it, hahaha-"
