Chapter 243 The Change of Chang'an
The spring rain season gradually passed, and the breath of early summer spread out in the bustling city with the sun. After a night of rain, the eaves were wet and water dripping ticked.
For the people of Chang'an, life was as usual. During this period, the quiet and terrible city was reported. No abnormality was reported. On the contrary, two thousand cavalrymen from Longyou passed by and went straight to Hezhongfu. On the way, the business travelers brought news, causing a slight turmoil in the city. The city speculated that this army that had just fought Chang'an and was pacified by the emperor was going to start a war against Wang Chongrong?
However, the news was soon returned, and the two thousand Longyou cavalry traveled hundreds of miles just to attack a group of yellow thieves. Many people naturally don’t believe it. When they inquire, there was no news to come.
"Do you believe this? I don't believe it anyway."
"I don't believe it either. If there are experts in the Longyou Army, how could they be aimless? It's probably because they went to the Hezhong Jiedushi."
"I haven't heard of the war there... Otherwise, the villagers of Hezhong Prefecture would have crossed the Wei River and ran towards this side long ago."
"That's weird..."
In the tea shop, the free-spirited people came in to take a break. In the midst of the rumors and interesting stories, the tea-server shouted loudly, went back and forth, and in the corner, the hand under the tray suddenly popped up a small ball of paper and landed on a guest table. The latter raised his sleeves without any trace, put the balls of paper into his sleeve, put a few cents of tea money, and got up and left the tea shop.
When I arrived at the corner of the alley outside, I quickly rushed to a family in front. I knocked on it rhythmically, put the ball of paper in the gap in the threshold, and turned around and left as if nothing had happened.
The door leaf moved, and the piece of paper placed below fell to the ground, and was quickly taken away and looked through.
There was a voice inside whispering: "The news from Liu Xiang that the commander of the Zuo Shence Army, Sun Dezhao, has already instigated the rebellion, and the soldiers of the Dongping King also quietly passed through Tongguan. Today, at the third hour of Yin, Liu and Wang Eryi will go to the Anfu Gate to go to the Shaoyang Courtyard of the East Palace to take Your Majesty to court. This is a good opportunity... You should quell the rebellion with the Zuo Shence Army. Remember, don't let go of the news. These eunuchs have many eyes and ears..."
The so-called Liu Prime Minister is Liu Chongwang. When the imperial court attacked Xichuan, this man served as the governor of Jiannan East Road. Unfortunately, before he took office, Wang Jian had already conquered Chengdu and had to return to the court in disappointment and appointed the Minister of War. Later, Longyou soldiers rushed into Chang'an. He followed the emperor to Huazhou. After he returned, he was promoted to Pingzhangshi, the subordinate of the Secretariat, and was prime minister.
Yang Fugong, Liu Jishu, and Wang Zhongxian's palace transformation a few days after the change, he realized something was wrong. After observing for a long time, he calmly sent people to contact Zhu Wen, the King of Dongping in Bianzhou. Of course, in order to prevent his family from becoming the only one, he also believed in Hezhong and Jin territory. Unfortunately, he had no reply. At present, he had to plan with Sun Dezhao, who was looking for the emperor, and Qin Huaimian, the Minister of Personnel.
At first, he was vain and clinging to the eunuchs to paralyze the other party to wait for the opportunity. A few days ago, the Longyou cavalry interspersed through the territory of the capital, which attracted many attentions. He knew that the opportunity had come, and sent several urging letters to the Tongguan side, while finding out the route of eunuchs today to escort the emperor. In this atmosphere, the agreed news had been secretly spread in the city and the people who eliminated the thieves.
When the sun sets down, the sound of the sound rings in the city. As time goes by, the night gradually becomes deeper, and swaggers of figures emerge from the various fields, like streams scattered among the mountains, gathering in Anfu Gate to the west of the imperial city. To the west is the house of Baiguan.
The clear moon hangs in the night sky, and the street is covered with thin mist. A team spreads from the Manshechang Street. In the carriage in the middle of the team, Wang Zhongxian is no longer the same as before. He was originally not qualified to live here, but the emperor is in his hands, even if he sits in the palace, it is natural.
"Haha...No wonder Mr. Geng wants to control the emperor again and again... it turns out he is addicted."
The candlelight stood on the short table, and as the frame shook slightly, shaking, smugly smiled in the fire, and yawned a long yawn. He lifted the curtain and asked the confidant who was accompanying him to Anfu Gate.
"Go back to the lieutenant, it's almost here."
"Well, if you want to rush ahead of Liu Jishu, you have to let His Majesty sit in my servant's carriage this time."
Wang Zhong smiled first, he put back the curtain, and the team was about to reach Anfu Gate. At this time, the rare city gate over there was not opening far away. Someone in the team in front shouted: "Open the door quickly!"
But the imperial city tower was quiet.
Wang Zhongxian frowned, lifted the curtain and went out, looked up at the city tower, and the darkness was dark, and no soldier stood on it, and suddenly felt uneasy, "turn around, turn around and go back-"
As soon as the words fell, fires suddenly lit up on both sides of the streets and alleys, illuminating the team in the middle. No one spoke at all. He pulled up his bow and arrow and shot wildly towards him.
The team standing in the road, with figures blocking with swords, or falling to the ground by arrows. The driver who was rushing to drive the car turned his head when Wang Zhongxian urged him to turn his head. The arrow flew over, and the driver fell into the chest. In the firelight on both sides, black figures rushed over with weapons.
"You dare to rebel?! Our family is Shen Ce..." Wang Zhongxian saw the armor and weapons of the Shen Ce Army. He was originally a lieutenant, and the troops he controlled were all Shen Ce Army. His courage suddenly came up, "..... Lieutenant of the Army, believe it or not..."
However, before he finished speaking, Sun Dezhao and Qin Huaimian held the sword and quickly, originally, the former led his troops to cut off the palace guards blocking the road. The burly scholar jumped onto the carriage by taking advantage of the clear road. Wang Zhongxian drew his sword to resist, but he snatched it from him, pulled the man down with his back hand, and raised the iron sword in his hand and shouted: "Rebel, kill--"
The sword fell down, and his head fell under the carriage with a thump. Sun Dezhao picked it up and held it in his hand. He raised his troops and shouted: "One of the three thieves is dead, everyone follows me into the imperial city to fight for the king--"
Anfu Gate slowly opened, and two or three thousand people rushed into the imperial palace road for a moment. In the night, the sound of killing was boiling. Sun Dezhao rode a horse and took only more than a hundred cavalry straight to the Shaoyang Courtyard of the East Palace.
Soon, the emperor with a yellow face sat up from the bed, his forehead was covered in cold sweat. Queen He beside him had a dish on his face and heard something vaguely. He quickly took out his robe for the emperor to wear.
"The Queen... are those eunuchs coming?"
When the dragon robe was worn on her body, Li Ye couldn't help but tremble slightly. At this moment, the gate outside the Shaoyang Courtyard was knocked out, and a sound roared like thunder: "The king has been killed, please ask Your Majesty to come forward and take charge of the overall situation--"
The sudden sound scared Li Ye, thinking that it was another trick made by Yang Fugong and others. He had been teasing twice before, and after he had sex, he was hungry for a few meals and only gave him some soup. When he arrived, he was like this again, so he was so scared that he dared not speak.
"Your Majesty, you are talking..." Queen He heard the voice outside a little strange, unlike those people before. When she turned around, she saw the emperor hesitantly standing at the end of the bed without moving. She took a few steps back and forth in a hurry. She gritted her silver teeth, put on her phoenix robe, turned around and ran out, stood in the courtyard and shouted outside the door: "Do you have any certificate?"
The next moment, a bloody head was thrown in from outside and hit the yard with a bang, scaring Queen He to the face pale, but seeing the appearance of the head clearly, she suddenly felt surprised and turned around and ran back to the house, pulled the emperor out, and pointed at the head on the ground for him to identify it.
"When... it's really a king thief..."
Li Ye reacted, holding Queen He's white arms with both hands, and jumped excitedly. When he heard another sound outside urging him, he quickly asked the queen to return to the room and quickly walked over to open the gate of the courtyard. He saw the knight outside holding a torch, and Sun Dezhao, covered in blood, knelt half-kneeling at him.
"Sun Dezhao, the commander of the Shence Army, paid homage to His Majesty."
In an instant, Liu Chongwang brought many ministers to protect the house, the Ministry of Justice slaughtered right and wrong, and Wang Feiying and others from the government office also came, and visited the emperor together and escorted him to Changle Gate Tower. All the civil and military officials who heard the news also arrived with their servants, or fought with Liu Jishu and others in other places in the palace.
"Take me over there, I want to tell those soldiers who were deceived by the eunuchs, how I was bullied by these eunuchs!"
"Kill the eunuch!"
"Calendar with Your Majesty!!"
Countless shouts resounded down the city tower, and figures followed the emperor who had weapons down the city tower to the deep palace. The place where they encountered fighting, the Shence Army and the Longwu Army saw the emperor in the head, put down their weapons one by one. Soon, Liu Jishu, who was rebelling in Zichen Palace, was also captured and killed by Zhou Chenghui, the general of Sun Dezhao.
"Can we find the evil thief Yang Fugong?"
"Report to Your Majesty, Yang Zhe found that something was wrong, so he left the imperial city early and ran outside the city."
Li Ye tightened the hilt of the sword, and the Yushan Military Camp closest to Chang'an, the military envoy was Yang Fugong's adopted son Yang Shouxin. When he arrived there, the thief would be in trouble if he joined forces with his adopted sons from all over the country to rebel.
"Tell me the will immediately and let the Longxiang Army..."
"Your Majesty, the General was dismissed..."
"If you dismiss the position, you will be rescinded. Immediately send an order to Li Shunjie to take over Longxiang's army and break the Yushan military camp for me!"
"yes!"
The cavalry was running, and the fireworks that were rushing to the night sky of Chang'an, and the dark city streets and alleys were illuminated in the light. At this time, Yang Fugong, who was flying far away on the official road outside the city, took a few people back to Chang'an, and the fireworks exploded in his eyes.
"If you don't leave me here, you will have him to leave Mr. Rong. We have many adopted sons in our family. You can also rely on someone at will..."
Just as he ran towards the Yushan Military Camp, the confidant who was accompanying him suddenly pointed to the direction of the military camp and shouted out: "General, look over there."
Yang Fugong turned around and the night sky facing Yushan, the sky exposed on half of the mountain was burned red by flames, and it was obvious that the military camp had been attacked.
"Walk!"
He shouted softly, did not dare to hesitate, and tied the reins and took a few people to turn the direction and ran towards the field. Soon, a team of cavalry came from the Yushan Military Camp and headed for Chang'an.
.........
At this time, Geng Qing, who was passing through the capital, was woken up by Jiuyu. He came out of the car and looked at the foggy lights in Chang'an from afar.
"...Is this Dong Zhe entering Beijing?"
