Chapter 983 Death!
Qingxin Pavilion is not just an attic, or even a palace, it is on a hill, a hill in the southeast corner of Shangjing;
Shangjing is not only the capital of Daqian, several generations ago, other separatist dynasties have established their capitals here, so this hill has historically belonged to the category of royal gardens.
It's just that, in order to live in more comfortably, the official family has carried out some renovations here, not for the convenience of their own enjoyment, but for the convenience of some courtiers coming here to discuss matters.
It's night, it's cool;
The official is wearing a Taoist robe, sitting by the small pond, watching the fish swimming in it.
A greenhouse is set up in the small courtyard, and the temperature is suitable; after all, when it comes to fighting, dry people are not ranked first, but in terms of enjoyment, hey, dry people are really not afraid of anyone.
There are several plates of fruit beside the official's house, which are clean and fresh.
In the distance, there are court ladies and eunuchs standing quietly, no one dares to disturb the quietness of the official house.
sat for a long time,
The official may feel a little tired,
Holding the edge of the pool with one hand, raising one's head, looking at the moonlight tonight;
It just so happened that a dark cloud just covered the moonlight that was not so bright tonight.
At this time, a beautiful figure came over.
When she came, no one dared to stop her;
"Officials, it's getting cold, let's go back to the house." Baili Xianglan said.
The official laughed,
road:
"I will continue to admire the moon."
"The moon tonight is very ordinary."
The official shook his head slightly and said:
"Actually, every night is the same month. Beauty and ugliness, beauty and paleness, the moon doesn't care. It's artificial, but it's the people who stand on the ground and look up at it and are out of reach."
"Official, it's getting cold."
"It's winter, where is it not cold?"
The official continued to sit without moving.
Thyme Lan looked at the official's house, stopped talking, stepped back, and stood by the side.
The official looked at her and asked:
"Third grade?"
"yes."
"Your brother's road is actually not easy to walk."
"There must be only one sharpest sword in the world. Xianglan has no intention of fighting for the first sword. The road that my brother walked may not be the best, but at least it proves that it can be walked.
Thanks to the officials, they are allowed to share the benefits with luck and help Xianglan break through. "
"Since your brother can borrow it, why can't you, a younger sister, borrow it?
No thanks.
When your brother entered the capital in white clothes, he attracted the attention of the capital, but in the final analysis, his chicness is his;
Just like that Yao Zizhan, what they earn is a false name, but in fact, they are too lazy to do trivial things.
On the contrary, it is you, you have worked hard all these years, Pandan. "
Thyme Lan didn't speak anymore, and took a few steps back again, submerged in the shadows, leaving all the little moonlight to the officials.
...
A group of knights came on horseback, and the scale was grand.
The leader is a middle-aged general with a Chinese face, sword eyebrows and star eyes.
"Who is coming!"
"Who is coming!"
At the foot of the mountain, the imperial army will immediately form an array.
The torch was lit, dispelling the darkness nearby, and the appearance of the middle-aged general was revealed.
"My son-in-law!"
"Meet the son-in-law!"
The guard at the foot of the mountain saluted immediately.
"My son-in-law has important matters to see the officials."
"My son-in-law, please wait a moment, I will report to you in this humble position."
"My son-in-law's business is very urgent, and I can't wait to report it."
"My son-in-law, the responsibilities of a humble job, please don't embarrass me, my humble job..."
"puff!"
Zhong Tianlang's knife had already pierced into the chest of the general guarding the mountain, and then he pulled it out.
next moment,
The soldiers it brought immediately drew their swords and charged forward.
The Forbidden Army at the foot of the mountain never expected that the most respected son-in-law would rebel, and Zhong Tianlang was leading an elite frontier army. The Forbidden Army at the foot of the mountain was defeated in a haste and suffered heavy casualties.
Holding a knife, Zhong Tianlang slashed at the soldiers of the Forbidden Army who were blocking him before turning over, and then went up the stairs;
Gradually, the soldiers he brought followed immediately and kept surpassing him to open the way for him.
However, the killing at the foot of the mountain did not continue to the mountainside.
Above, many soldiers of the Imperial Army had dropped their weapons and stood aside. On the ground, the corpses of some generals of the Imperial Army had already been laid out.
A man with half-white beard and hair in silver armor was standing there, looking at Zhong Tianlang who kept coming up with a smile on his face. Beside the man in silver armor stood a young eunuch.
Seeing these two people, Zhong Tianlang's eyes narrowed slightly, but he did not continue to keep a cold face, but said:
"Captain Luo."
Luo Mingda, who has mastered Yinjiawei for twenty years, is a demon in Dagan folk who can stop children from crying.
"My son-in-law."
Luo Mingda saluted Zhong Tianlang very politely;
At this time, the young eunuch next to him seemed unwilling to be ignored, so he stepped forward and said:
"I have seen the son-in-law."
Zhong Tianlang nodded to him, Eunuch Sun, who became a trusted eunuch by the official family three years ago, has already made a fortune in the inner court at a young age.
But obviously, in what happened tonight, he also betrayed the officials.
The rise of Eunuch Sun surprised outsiders, and what's more, it was said that Eunuch Sun got the position because of Jin Feng.
Once these two people choose to betray the official family, then the internal defense of Qingxin Pavilion can basically be said to be more than half opened.
Zhong Tianlang did not greet these two people,
Instead, he said directly:
"Go and ask the officials to abdicate."
...
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned to Beijing to inherit the great treasure!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned to Beijing to inherit the great treasure!"
Outside the courtyard,
Shouts came and went.
Among them, there were some sounds of fighting, but it was obvious that the resistance was not so fierce.
The official was still sitting by the pool, and the hustle and bustle outside didn't seem to affect him at all.
However, the ladies and eunuchs in the yard all turned pale with fright.
At this time, a boy came in.
After the official family moved into the Qingxin Pavilion, although they didn't wantonly build any temples, they couldn't do without their old habits, that is, to talk about the Tao.
There is a ring scar on the boy's head, his face is handsome, his Dharma name greets him, and he is called a layman.
When he opened his mouth, it didn't sound like a child's voice, but had the hoarseness of an adult.
"Officials, they're coming in soon." Ask An Jushi clasped his hands together and said.
"oh."
The official responded.
At this time, Thyme Lan came out from the shadows, and the long sword was unsheathed, hanging in front of Lay Wen'an.
The boy didn't panic, but looked at Thyme Orchid and asked;
"The Baili family has sworn allegiance to the new king, why are you acting here?"
Baili Xianglan frowned slightly, and was about to make a sword move, but was stopped by the official:
"Stand back."
Thyme Orchid hesitated for a moment, but finally sheathed her sword.
The officials lifted their sleeves,
Laughing at himself:
"Zhen, everyone is really betrayed now, okay, okay."
Thyme Lan said: "Guan, I can still try to take you out now."
Upon hearing this, Lay Wen An raised his eyebrows slightly,
road;
"If your brother was still alive and standing here, he would have the tone to say that. You can't do it."
"Xianglan, I understand."
The official looked at Thyme Lan with some relief, he didn't think Thyme Lan was pretending here;
Even though the Baili family has changed ships, the Baili family is the Baili family, and the people in the Baili family are from the Baili family. They look the same, but they are actually different.
For example...he is an official of Dagan, and the one who is rebelling against him now is also a general of Dagan?
Ask An Jushi sincerely said:
"This year, the officials favored me, and I was able to talk about the Tao. The officials became the empresses, and they were less disturbed by the secular affairs. Wen'an is willing to continue to accompany the officials to discuss the Tao."
"good."
The official nodded.
next moment,
A group of soldiers rushed in.
The official straightened his waist and put his hands behind his back.
These soldiers with blood on their armor, when they saw the officials, the fierce look on their faces earlier subconsciously faded away, and instead silently pressed down on the knife edge.
At this time,
Zhong Tianlang walked in.
After he saw the official house,
Get down on one knee and salute:
"Tianlang, kowtow to the official!"
"Tian Lang."
"The minister is here."
"After the big job, it's up to you."
"Officials, the crown prince has returned to Beijing..."
"oh?"
"Rui...Prince Rui, has the appearance of a wise master."
"Prince Rui? Is Zhao Mugou that kid? I really like him. Taizu's lineage, who has been so useless for so many years, has finally produced a treasure.
Fine,
what's going on today,
It has nothing to do with me, the Supreme Emperor. "
The official's eyes fell behind Zhong Tianlang;
Sensing the gazes from the officials, Luo Mingda and Eunuch Sun lowered their heads.
"Tell me, how do you plan to arrange me? Do you just give me a three-foot white silk, or lock me up?"
"Official family, what we are doing today is to do something big, not to usurp the throne and rebel. Even if the official family becomes the Supreme Emperor, it is still an official family."
"Oh, if you don't kill me, where are you going to lock me up?"
Wen'an Jushi said at this time:
"Guys please, go up to the back mountain."
...
Although blood was shed, it was already a very peaceful coup d'état compared to the precedents of previous dynasties. It ended in one night.
The prince came out of Yuxu Palace, entered Shangjing, entered the imperial city, and announced his enthronement as emperor;
The officials of Qingxin Pavilion, on the grounds that the dragon is not in good health and can no longer cope with state affairs, issued an edict of abdication and passed it on to the crown prince.
There is a difference in the sequence, but the history books will rearrange them to make things more pleasing to the eye.
...
back mountain,
mountain gate.
Officials still in Taoist robes stepped down from the dragon chariot.
Beside him, stood a group of soldiers;
Behind, followed by some court ladies and eunuchs.
"I am willing to enter Shangjing to personally announce my abdication in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Wouldn't it be more legitimate to change the name in this way?
Furthermore, the father and son, the emperor, surrendered to Mu Gouna kid together, there would be less criticism in the history books, wouldn't they? "
Layman Wen An laughed and said, "A government official is an official family, just an edict is enough. If the official family enters the capital in person, I'm afraid things will end badly."
"The officials and people in Shangjing City probably hated me to death because of what happened back then. Why, are you still worried that they will rise up and help the orthodox because of me?"
"I can't say for sure." Wen Anjushi answered like this.
After all, even though this official likes to practice Taoism and doesn't like dragon robes and Taoist robes, those who are close to him know that he is not a faint king.
Not far away, there were two carriages parked; there was another carriage, which was stopped by the soldiers and was not allowed to approach.
In the two carriages near,
The person in the first carriage was carried off. He was lying on the sick bed with a sick face. It was Mr. Han.
He is not pretending to be sick, but really dying.
Walking down from the other carriage was Yao Zizhan, a great literary sage, with tears on his face, extremely sad;
Standing beside the carriage in the distance was Li Xundao, the great-grandfather in the past, and now, he is still the master-in-law. He was in power, and he didn't do anything that night.
"Official, official!"
Yao Zizhan knelt down and began to cry bitterly.
"Hahaha."
The official looked at Yao Zizhan and said: "This situation and this scene can give Master Yao a poetic pleasure? After thinking about it in the future, can it be a superficial understanding?"
Yao Zizhan didn't know how to answer these words.
The officials did not make things difficult for him;
Dagan Wensheng, in terms of government affairs, is a waste snack in itself, and he has long known this.
He didn't think he really participated in anything in this coup, and since he couldn't participate, he certainly couldn't change it.
It's just that in Yao Zizhan's poems, there is often awe-inspiring righteousness that soars to the sky;
Thinking about it, it was also because he himself was too short, so he seemed to have a taller air column.
"Officials..."
Han Xiang, who was lying on the stretcher, said openly.
"Han Yan."
The official called Han Xianggong's name and walked over.
No one hinders the officials;
Today, it was just to say goodbye. If there is no accident, the official's family will go up the mountain today, and they will never come down in this life.
There were tears in the corners of Han Xianggong's eyes, and his tears were much more sincere than those of Yao Zizhan.
"Officials, please forgive me, the minister is also thinking about doing big things."
"I don't blame you."
Layman Wen'an said at this time: "The officials may not know one thing, that Prince Rui's succession to the Datong is really in accordance with the destiny, and for today's plan, only this method can rectify the source and reshape the pattern to meet the weather. "
The official turned his head to look at the boy who came with him,
road:
"Look at what you said. Throughout the ages, every usurper likes to use this set of rhetoric."
"But what I said about Ann is true."
The official laughed and said: "Look at what you said again. Throughout the ages, which usurper would think it was fake when he sat on that dragon chair?"
"It's really true to ask Ann."
The boy was in a hurry.
The official wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes,
road:
"I know, I know, it was also true when Emperor Taizu snatched the dragon robe from the orphans and widows of Liang, and it was also true when Emperor Taizong snatched the dragon chair from the lineage of Emperor Taizu.
Really couldn't be more true. "
"Officials, what you say in greetings is..."
"What's true in your eyes, can't it be fake in others' eyes?"
"..." boy.
Han Xiang said openly: "It made the officials suffer."
"Don't say that." The official comforted.
"Please rest assured that the officials are still there, and the state affairs they will do in the future will be better. There should be an explanation for the affairs of the world. After the explanation, we can work together to control Yangou."
"I believe it."
"Please, the officials... go up to the mountain to practice Taoism with peace of mind. However, please be careful when you are cultivating on the mountain these few days. The old officials may be leaving soon. When the time comes, you may not be able to go back to the mountain in person, and then face the officials. Everyone knelt down and pleaded guilty."
"What are you guilty of? You have merit, and the merit is due to the great work."
"My lord... panic."
The official bent down and put his mouth close to Han Yan's ear,
Called softly:
"father……"
Han Yan suddenly widened his pupils;
The official stood up,
Laugh out loud:
"Hahahahahaha..."
"Officials..."
"You don't believe me when I call you, but if I call you like that again when I'm lying on the sickbed with a sick face and dying, will you... believe it?"
"Officials..."
Han Quan's body began to twitch.
"Yangou once teased me that if I don't know anything else, I will give it to my daughter-in-law, it will be done.
But do you know, for a hundred years, where is the place where the Silver Armored Guards have sent the most? "
Han Quan began to gasp for breath, stretched out his finger, and pointed at the official's house.
The official bent down again and looked at Han Yan:
"Mugou, you are a good boy, what an excellent boy, what is that, a phoenix chick!
There is a folk story, rich and noble people want to recognize their sons, and there are countless people rushing to call them fathers;
Similarly, there are phoenix chicks who want to recognize their grandfather;
Hahaha,
Do you, Han Yan, immediately think, yes, this is my Han Yan's kind.
Hahahahahaha!
Han Yan,
Where is your face? "
"you you you……"
"I tell you plainly, Mugou, he doesn't believe in Han, his surname is Zhao!
that chair
Even if I don't sit down,
I will not let anyone who is not from the Zhao family sit on it! "
The laughing expression on the official's face was completely suppressed at this time, but the majesty of the Nine-Five Supreme was once again revealed;
"Since I ascended the throne, I have been constrained by you, Han Yan, the old ministers of Renzong everywhere in the court.
It is you people who sing the praises of Emperor Renzong;
Those who criticized Emperor Renzong are also your group;
You are flawless, pure and white, like wind and frost, like that proud plum.
But Renzong is a fool,
Aren't you the ones who really made the big fight to the brink of death, you guys! "
Yao Zizhan was taken aback, and hurriedly said:
"Official...you..."
"It was that year when the people of Yan entered the country, and the government and the public were shaken, so I found an opportunity to clear you old things out of the court.
I am reforming the law, trying to be new and strong;
I will change the policy of emphasizing literature and restraining martial arts, promote generals, honor their status, and raise warriors to die!
I am building a new army, I am collecting taxes from the south of the Yangtze River, and I want to enrich my efforts in the northern frontiers!
I've done everything I can, and while I'm doing it, I have to face you old people who can't live in peace at home, and the group of useless disciples and grandchildren you left behind in the court who like to drag their legs!
I admire Ji Runhao, but unfortunately I don't have Tian Wujing and Li Liangting;
otherwise,
I will definitely have to wash all these things that are obviously stupid but consider themselves moral pillars, and bloody cleansing! "
Wen'an Jushi said at this time:
"The official... already knew?"
The official looked at the boy in front of him,
A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"A silver armored guard who is really a big worker, can't he just eat dry food?"
Ask An Layman with doubts in his eyes:
"So, the official abdicated on his own?"
The official raised his head and let out a long sigh:
"I've been waiting for five years in Qingxin Pavilion, I've been waiting for you for five years, you really made me wait!"
The official waved his sleeves,
turn around,
Go to the gate of the back mountain,
At the same time shouted:
"That battle was my last chance against the Yanren, but I lost, and Shangjing was also defeated;
Since that day, I have understood that the power of the Yan people has already achieved great success!
Because I am more certain than anyone else,
The new monarch chosen by Ji Runhao, at least, must have Ji Runhao's seven-pointed roots, right?
I am also sure,
Back then, the boy from Yan who dared to point at my nose and scold me for not knowing soldiers was a very interesting person.
The power of the Yan people, unless he collapses, who can stop him?
I really don't want to be the king of subjugation,
Being the second to last is better than being the first to last, and it is often a pity to leave it to the second to last, if he can live a few more years, hahahaha.
Thousands of years later, people who read history will only record that when I was in power, I retired from the so-called all Zhengying Dynasty, changed the style of emphasizing literature and suppressing military affairs, collected taxes from wealthy merchants and sea trade, organized a new army, and rectified defense!
It's a pity that he was overthrown by Erwai Xiaoxiao who usurped the throne, and finally Daqian, who was fascinated by the elegance and poise of poetry and etiquette, fell under the horseshoes of the Yan people! "
Ask An Jushi solemnly said:
"Officials, no, destiny, we have already pulled back a city, and everything will return to its place..."
The official who had already walked up the steps heard this,
suddenly stopped,
turn around,
At this time, he was standing on the steps and looking at the boy standing below, he became even smaller.
The official pointed at him,
road:
"I also practice Taoism, I love Taoist robes, and I like Piao Miao;
I respect Master Tibetan,
I respect Li Xundao,
and they,
In your eyes, you are an idiot who is blinded by the secular world and gave up the way.
ridiculous,
You think you are right,
You think that your eyes have seen through nothingness, you have seen the sky, you have seen the destiny;
but you,
but dare not,
Take a look at this room! "
Asking Jushi An why he put his hands together, he quickly recited the Heart Sutra silently. At this moment, he felt that his Dao heart was trembling, and he seemed to have lost his defense.
The officials took advantage of the situation to look at Li Xundao, who was blocked by soldiers and horses in the distance,
Let out a long cry:
"Seek the way,
Back then, I took you down the mountain;
Today, you send me up the mountain! "
far away,
Li Xundao knelt down:
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The official turned around, looked at the steps in front of him, climbed up the steps, walked,
Can't help scolding:
"I'm really exhausted, that's all, I'm not leaving."
at the moment
The official raised his left hand,
To the sky:
"I,
Dagan Taishang Emperor,
Ninth Rank Qi Refiner,
Soldiers today.
Don't ask for ascension to prove the truth,
I just want to be too lazy to walk this laoshizi's bird path again! "
A group of cyan flames that couldn't be smaller burst out from Guanjia's shoulders and slowly soaked into Zhao Guanjia's flesh and blood.
"hiss……"
Zhao Guanjia's face contorted, but he couldn't cry out the pain, let alone turn around, so he could only choose to bear it.
The flame is too small to burn itself, but it takes time.
"Seek the way,
Didn't you say that it is a kind of great freedom when the soldiers are dissolved?
I regret it... I should have put more thought into cultivating in the past, so that I can feel happier when I kill myself. "
The small blue flame finally burned to Guanjia's chest, causing even more severe colic pain;
The official knelt down, propped his palms on the ground,
"If I had known, it would be better to bring a bottle of poisonous wine, it hurts..."
finally,
The flames burned to the point between the eyebrows,
Zhao Guan's aura disappeared,
The thick Taoist robe began to collapse, and the body gradually turned into dust, blowing away with the wind;
under the mountain,
Han Yan closed his eyes;
Yao Zizhan, Wen'an Layman, and a group of soldiers all knelt down;
on the mountain,
The pool that was already empty,
Another lotus bloomed.
I recommend a book by a friend, "Infinite Script Killing", interested friends can read it.
