Chapter 114 Houtu Temple (2)
Such things have never happened before.
The Prime Minister still remembers that one year when the late emperor first handed over military power to Jun Han, the Central Plains were in the aftermath of the war, the national strength was weak, and the Tielin Army had not yet reached its current strength.
At that time, the King of Northern Yan was still in peace in the capital. One day, he took advantage of the illness of the late emperor and started a rebellion, intending to force the palace to rebel, but he was still descended and buried in the palace by the old wounds who had relapsed at that time.
At that time, the late emperor did not kill him, but instead handed over the Golden and Fire Cavalry of Dali to the King of Northern Yan. It was only at the cost that the King of Northern Yan had to personally guard the northern border to pave the rebellion of the nomadic people in the north. He was not allowed to return to Beijing until the population of northern Xinjiang doubled - he was mercilessly exiled.
Although the late emperor suppressed the rebellion of King Beiyan at that time, the old ministers in the court were all aware of this. Therefore, when they heard that King Beiyan was going to return to Beijing in Xia Shi, the court was slightly shocked. However, the previous emperor had told him that the King Beiyan was about to return to Beijing. Therefore, even the young emperor did not know the reason.
The late emperor made this decision to "raising tigers for trouble" not only because of his bloodline, but also because there were no generals in the court at that time, and Jun Han was on the expedition, and he himself was no longer able to lead troops to fight. However, the nomadic peoples in the north had been invading the Central Plains for a long time, so they had to ignore it, which gave the King of Northern Yan a chance to "make up for his merits."
Of course, it is because there was a Jun Han in the court who was enough to restrict this king's ambition even after his death, so he entrusted the young emperor to Jun Han before his death.
But why do people's calculations be worse than God's calculations? Jun Han finally "left" one step earlier
When the Prime Minister asked about being aggressive, he stabbed the knife into the most shameful old wound of the King of Northern Yan. He saw the old wolf-like evil rising up, and sucked the golden sword on his waist and pointed at the prime minister's throat.
However, Situ Jing was still unmoved. The King of Northern Yan's eyes were cold and his murderous intent seemed to be intimidated by Jian Bing. He then calmed down when he came out of the sword. "The Prime Minister is a smart person. You should know that it is not good to anger me at this time."
"Anger comes from the heart, and it is not something that others can control. If Your Highness really has a clear conscience, how can I be angry with a mere scholar?"
"you--"
Situ Chengxin was almost strangled to his throat, but it was not until this moment that he could see his father's true intentions - the Prime Minister was never a stupid radical who died blindly, and such agitated words were just to capture the arrogant and arrogant toughness of the King of Northern Yan.
"Your Highness has been guarding the northern border for many years, and the military achievements are known to all the courts. Therefore, we really did not expect that your Highness would use the entire Golden Fire Cavalry to trap a group of civil officials who were powerless." Situ Cheng suddenly extinguished the spirit of righteousness that the Minister of Justice should have, and was not afraid of the swords that were covered by the body. "Your Highness had already entered the court in Xia Shi to return to the capital to report his duties, but he continued until late autumn." He paused intentionally, and then he became more and more powerful: "It happened that the marshal was seriously injured and he raised his troops to the capital. So, please forgive me. I really have to doubt whether the lord behind the assassins was in the Golden Fire Cavalry."
"Don't talk nonsense!" The King of Northern Yan shouted angrily.
The emperor was shocked and shocked, and was in a daze. He couldn't fully sort out the situation here after a long time.
"I have always been worthy of heaven and earth, how could I do such a despicable thing?"
The King of Northern Yan spoke righteously, and Situ Cheng of course knew that this was not his fault, but the situation was like this, and it would be difficult to undermine the king's confidence in rebellion if he didn't frame the blame.
After all, the most important thing at the moment is to delay time - although delay may not necessarily delay the rescue.
In fact, in terms of justice, Situ Cheng does feel that this little emperor is not suitable to be the king of a country at present.
But this child is still young after all, and it would be unfair to deny it before he is fully mature.
When the Prime Minister heard this, he couldn't help but sneer, "The prince is worthy of heaven and earth? In the past, His Highness marched into the palace city, but the late emperor delivered the Golden Fire Cavalry. The prince has been renamed for twenty years, but now he wants to kill the late emperor and seize the throne in the Houtu Temple. How dare you ask the prince, is this your "noble of heaven and earth"?"
The King of Northern Yan curled his lips indifferently, put away his long sword and stuttered, "Master Prime Minister has lived for so many years, but hasn't he seen that there has never been a word "love and friendship" in front of the throne?" He turned his eyes and looked at the little emperor, "These old accounts are useless today. This child does not have the courage of the emperor. You should also see that since he knows it is not a piece of information to be the emperor, why should he deceive himself here? To put it bluntly, it's just a vain argument."
Although everyone present wanted to refute it, this seemed to be a fact.
It is indeed a misfortune of a talented man to serve an incompetent lord, but...
"All the greats are pillars of the country. There is no need to hang themselves on a tree. Good birds choose trees to live on. As long as you take back your disrespect to me now, you will still be important officials of Dali in the future."
As soon as this statement was made, the Shangshu looked at each other for a while, as if he was hesitating, but the Prime Minister was helpless. Situ Cheng wanted to speak out and refute it again, but he really had no real truth.
The Chief Gao rarely urged his brains that usually did not circle around political affairs. After thinking for a long time, he could not reveal the real situation of the Tie Lin Army now, nor could he let the situation develop like this - although if the situation is true at the moment, then subduing is the right choice, but the fact is just a situation, and the marshal will definitely come. If these adults cannot withstand the current pressure and bow their heads, they will inevitably punish the company for the crime of rebellion afterwards.
Gao Da was a casting master who had been a lifelong master. He was always approachable and dedicated. He was born to be a person who loved Yueju, but as the only person here who knew the truth, he had to give up his promise.
While hesitating, Gao, who was not inferior to a warrior, suddenly drew the sword of a soldier in front of him. With his strong and explosive power of years of physical strength, he unexpectedly kicked down the soldiers blocking the road in front of him, and rushed out with his sword.
"Master Gao?" Situ Cheng was shocked by this suddenly.
Gao Tongshou took advantage of his blood and aroused anger, and rushed straight to the King of Northern Yan with his sword. He exuded a sense of grief and anger with a false aura and a sword, and said, "A mere traitor dares to speak wildly here. Good birds choose wood not rotten wood! We all inherit the will of the previous emperor and only know how to be loyal to the emperor and assist the dynasty. How can we listen to your evil words and confuse the public!"
This always docile giant beast suddenly became furious, and its natural majestic aura naturally shocked the King of Northern Yan.
But in the end, it still lacks the killing aura of a real warrior.
So the King of Northern Yan came back to his senses from the book's little shock and smiled, "I admire Master Gao's courage very much, but if you really want to draw your sword and fight alone, I can only say that this is stupid."
Gao Tongshou was very self-aware. Of course, he knew that he, a rough man who had never even stole his horse stance, must be the opponent of the King of Northern Yan, who had been practicing his family with the late emperor since childhood.
The King of Northern Yan looked at the tiger's eyes, and Gao Tongshou's aura was not overwhelmed. With a long sword, he directly put his neck on his neck. "We would rather sacrifice our lives today than be with the traitors!"
The white faces present were shining with each other, and even the Prime Minister was shocked to the core. The little emperor, who was already afraid of a little sharpness, shivered even more, and his legs, which were already unstraight, became softer. He could not hold on to his body with just a stick.
The emperor fell to the ground with a "bang" the moment when Gao Tong made a move to commit suicide.
It's really "faced"...
Although Gao Tongshou had a "extraordinary" look when he was a casual person, those who had always seen him peace and mourning did not expect that he really had the courage to be fearless of life and death.
As the statue of Houtu was staring, the atmosphere of this hall suddenly solidified, and no matter which side seemed to be at a loss.
But at this freezing moment, a knock on the door like a rescue fell into silence. Everyone came back to their senses. The King of Northern Yan was alert and looked at it. He heard a sonorous voice sounding outside the door: "Xu Da, the Black Armor Camp, asks for a meeting!"
"General Xu..." Situ Cheng was stunned.
Xu Da, who was originally just confronted the earth, was probably the last "saving man" in the hearts of several adults, but he did not expect that he had surrendered to the King of Northern Yan because of a military talisman?
Everyone was discouraged, and even the little emperor who had not reacted to the situation for a long time felt the meaning of "desperate situation".
The King of Northern Yan had a little doubt in his eyes, but he still breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Come in."
Xu Da pushed the door and looked straight, and then knelt down on the King of Northern Yan in front of everyone, saying solemnly: "Lizhou has been completely closed, and the imperial guards in the palace city have also been transferred to the Black Armor Camp. We will come to report."
The King of Northern Yan couldn't help but jumped - the efficiency of the Black Armor Camp is too high!
Everyone, including the emperor, was completely depressed by this basin of ice water, and the last glimmer of hope was completely wiped out by Xu Da's serious and serious attitude.
Situ Cheng never expected that Xu Da, who was the most loyal in daily life, would easily turn against him. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken for the marshal.
"General Xu, you—"
Gao Tongshou breathed a sigh of relief, but he still kept singularly holding the "respectful return of death".
Xu Da heard Situ Cheng's gritting teeth and looked around, but only returned to the number of people. Then no one ignored him and asked the King of Beiyan: "Do you need to take these people back to the city for a temporary basis?"
Stayed?!
"What did you do to the minister who returned to the city?" Situ Cheng couldn't bear it anymore.
After hearing this, Xu Da did not look back and answered: "I dare not touch you before I received the order. Of course, I will ask you to live in the mansion first. There is an Iron Army in the city to protect the safety of your mansion."
After hearing this, the King of Northern Yan curled his lips as if he was satisfied, glanced at the ministers cunningly, and said, "According to General Xu's wishes, I will escort you all back to the house first, and wait until I finish the family affairs here, and then do official business."
Upon hearing this, Xu Da stood up and waved his hand seriously. Eight black-armored soldiers dressed in armor and entered the hall with cold faces and handed over the masters from the Jinhuo rider. Xu Da and a soldier led the leader stepped forward to "jointly" to stop the leader Gao Tongshou's "slaughter". Gao Da made a few moves, but was finally taken away honestly.
