In the past few days, the army of the Nie family has approached the gate of the temple. In fact, they could have broken in. Nie Yuanfeng has been waiting for the attitude of the emperor Li Yong. , it is regrettable.

The soldiers around Tianqing Temple gave way one after another, and the archers behind came out.

Chapter 27 Fire Sea

The arrows of this group of archers were tied with kerosene packs. With one order, the arrows flew into Tianqing Temple like locusts and were nailed to doors, walls, tiles, and every corner. Those kerosene packs burst one after another. , Everyone in the temple panicked, and there was no way to remedy it. With so much kerosene, as long as there was a spark, they would all be buried in the sea of ​​flames.

The messenger stood on the temporary sentry tower and shouted: "My lord has an order. I will not kill you if I hand over the imperial edict. This is the last chance!"

Li Yong stood in front of the Reclining Buddha Hall and roared frantically, "Rebellious ministers, rebellious ministers, don't think about it, Nie Yuanfeng, don't think about it!" At this moment, Li Yong's hair was loose, and he was like a madman, with a ferocious expression, very creepy people.

Nie Yuanfeng also heard Li Yong's voice. He took a deep breath, raised his right hand and swung it down violently. A doorman beside him immediately shot a rocket.

Just before dawn, Tianqing Temple instantly became a sea of ​​flames. The houses in Tianqing Temple were basically made of wood and poured with kerosene. The fire instantly engulfed the entire temple. There were screams, cries, and the sound of houses collapsing. The fire made half of the sky red, several times more red than the morning glow on the horizon. The soldiers all covered their noses and choked with tears, and gradually became disheartened.

Many people were not directly burned to death, most of them gathered in the altar square, where the fire could not reach, but the surrounding fire was too fierce, the smoke was too strong, and the crowd was crowded, many people were directly suffocated or choked to death.

Burying the entire royal family with a fire is the most tragic event since the founding of Dafeng. However, Nie Yuanfeng did not even frown. He is a cruel and ambitious person, otherwise he would not dare to spy on the imperial power. In this way, each felt cold.

"My lord, at this time, a small team should be left here to clean up the mess. We immediately join forces with Mr. Xuan, break through the imperial city, get the jade seal and soldier amulet, and ascend the throne quickly to command the army of the world, so that those soldiers who are loyal to the king will come out of nowhere." huang The young man in shirt suggested next to him.

His name is Liu Shoucheng. He is from Shuoyang City. He was an orphan since he was a child. Nie Yuanfeng stayed by his side because of his intelligence when he was young. Nie Yuanfeng has ambitions, and he also has ambitions. own ability to create a king.

He remembered that there was a severe drought in Shuoyang that year, the whole city had no crops, and the imperial court did not send any rice or money, so he hated the royal family, sat in the high hall, enjoyed the highest glory and wealth in the world, but did nothing. The people are in dire straits, and they don't blink.

That year, his parents starved to death in order to save food for him. This may be the main reason why he advised Nie Yuanfeng not to attack. The entire royal family starved to death.

Nie Yuanfeng is actually not the best candidate for Liu Shoucheng to assist, but Nie Yuanfeng is kind to him and has ambitions. In addition, he catalyzes Nie Yuanfeng's ambitions in the open and in the dark, which makes Nie Yuanfeng's ambition even more inflated. Liu Shoucheng didn't fully believe the disappearance of Nie and the rumors coming out of the palace, and even felt that someone was promoting the matter, but he thought it was a good opportunity, so he persuaded Nie Yuanfeng, who thought he had nowhere to go, to rebel.

Liu Shoucheng looked at the Tianqing Temple in the fire, and his eyes were full of determination. Although the thousands of soldiers and monks in Tianqing Temple were innocent except for the royal family, he didn't care. It is impossible for the necessary victims to slaughter the royal family without harming the guards around them.

As soon as he heard the word enthronement, Nie Yuanfeng's eyes lit up several times instantly, and he nodded immediately: "Okay, listen to Mr. Liu, let's go."

Liu Shoucheng is Nie Yuanfeng's most trusted counselor, and his title has gradually changed from Cheng'er to Mr. Liu.

At the same time that Nie Yuanfeng launched an attack on Tianqing Temple, Nie Xuan, who was besieging the imperial city, also began to attack. The imperial city was only ten miles away from Tianshou Mountain. Wait for confluence.

Nie Yuanfeng's army basically had no casualties, and there were nearly 10,000 people. They joined Nie Xuan's imperial guards and other [-]+ people surrounded the imperial city tightly. In addition, they sent people to spread the news that the emperor Li Yong and others had been burned to death. , causing confusion among the defenders in the imperial city.

This time, the Nie family allied forces broke through the imperial city in less than an hour. After entering the city, Nie Yuanfeng ordered everyone to clean up the mess immediately, shouting and cursing to kill them.

Liu Shoucheng suggested that Nie Yuanfeng be enthroned that day, which was in line with Nie Yuanfeng's wishes, so Liu Shoucheng ordered the ministers under house arrest to be brought to the palace one after another. Fortunately, all the officials of the Ministry of Rites kept them intact, and they were angry Not daring to say anything, they were busy planning Nie Yuanfeng's enthronement ceremony silently, hoping in their hearts that the princes would break through Yaocheng as soon as possible and cleanse their traitors. In the hearts of these ministers, Nie Yuanfeng, who has no royal blood, is seeking to change the dynasty Sinners through the ages, but for the sake of the lives of their families, they all endured it for the time being.

After everyone worked together, it can be said that they were coerced, and everyone was preparing. The soldiers carried a large number of corpses out of the imperial city, and some soldiers and court ladies and eunuchs were cleaning the blood stains on the walls and floors. The entire imperial guard army was annihilated, and more than half of the Imperial Guard surrendered. After cleaning, the entire imperial city still smelled of blood.

In the 22nd year of Dafeng Yanping, on December [-], after besieging Tianqing Temple for five days, a fire razed the entire Tianqing Temple to the ground, burning more than [-] people to death, and the smell of burning corpses permeated the entire city of Yao. It was so tragic that the people hid in their homes shivering and panicking all day long.

And at noon of this day, Nie Yuanfeng announced his enthronement as emperor, changed the name of the country to Liang, and changed the name of the year to the first year of Lefeng.

On this day, Nie Yuanfeng, who was over half a hundred years old, was in full swing, wearing a dragon robe and a crown, and looked like he was full of ambition. He spread his wide sleeves, laughed and walked through the two rows of ministers kneeling in the Golden Luan Hall , Step by step approaching the Dragon Throne in his heart, feeling extremely excited, this day has finally come, no longer have to bow his knees in front of Li Yong, he can finally feel proud, the heir of his Nie family has become the royal family from now on.

Liu Shoucheng, who was on the side, shook his head secretly when he saw him like this. He was very disappointed. Now that the foreign aggression is still unresolved and the internal affairs are in chaos, ascending the throne early is just a stopgap measure. I didn't expect Nie Yuanfeng to be intoxicated by it. Could it be that the imperial power is so tempting? people?

Nie Yuanfeng finally sat on the dragon chair and looked down at the civil and military ministers in the hall. The satisfaction in his heart was beyond words, and he completely forgot about the various armies that were besieging Yaocheng.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

All the ministers knelt down and bowed, Nie Yuanfeng felt flustered, and after a while, he put his hands up in the air, imitating Li Yong's posture and said: "Everyone is flat!"

Liu Shoucheng, who was standing not far away, kept winking at Nie Yuanfeng. He was neither a minister nor an official, and now he was only standing aside with the inner eunuchs. In the emperor's dream.

Liu Shoucheng sighed in his heart: "If God wants to kill him, he must first make him mad." He seemed to see Nie Yuanfeng's doom, with deep disappointment in his eyes, secretly looking for another way out for himself.

Liu Shoucheng tore off the jade pendant he was wearing around his waist, and threw it on the ground with all his might. The crisp sound of jade being broken made everyone's eyes turn to him.

Taking this opportunity, he winked fiercely at Nie Yuanfeng.

Nie Yuanfeng finally remembered what Liu Shoucheng said, and said in a loud voice: "Now that Liang has just established the country, there are rebellious officials and thieves clamoring outside the city of Yao, and the widow immediately issued a denunciation, passed on the imperial decree of the widow, and the three princes and the surrounding areas of Yaocheng are wanted all over the country. Sheriff, those who can take their heads will be given official positions."

Nie Yuanfeng is really thick-skinned, he just became a traitor, and immediately turned to accuse others of being a traitor, but Kou Cheng and other wind officials all felt bitter. They knew in their hearts that they would be replaced sooner or later, but the lives of the young and old held them back. They had no choice but to bow down to those who were officials in the same palace in the past, and to bear the humiliation of destroying the country in their hearts. Now they pinned their hopes on attacking Yao On the prince of the city and the surrounding county guards, but Nie Yuanfeng wanted to destroy them, all of them remained silent.
