Aoyama

It was night, and the study room in the West Terrace was brightly lit with candles, and all the officials could not sleep.Chu Rong flicked his pen and ink, and there were three thousand gold characters. He just stopped writing and yawned.Si Hu was grinding by the side, and said: "Your Excellency, let's take a break." Chu Rong rubbed his Yang acupoint and said, "This dissertation, together with the appendix you wrote, will be distributed everywhere in the morning." Si Hu said: " Sign the name of the old gentleman?" Chu Rong nodded.

There was movement of figures outside the corridor, Si Jiang crossed the threshold with letterheads, and went forward to hand over military reports from various places and the situation in the court.Chu Rong was tired, so he waved his hand and told him to proceed as usual.Si Jiang went further: "There is a report from the film department, can my subordinates read it?"

Chu Rong glanced at the red varnish on the letter, got up and said, "I won't open it and read it, I'll deliver it myself." Si Hai served tea and said, "Your Excellency has not slept for seven days, it's too hard, so let's go." Chu Rong accepted After crossing the water, he took a sip and sighed: "In this situation, who doesn't work hard."

Stars fell into the sky, and the night was gloomy, but in the entire Xitai city and the hundred-mile military camp on the outskirts, few people slept peacefully.Inside the curtain, the maid held the lamp, and Chu Rong presented the letter from the film department with both hands, and then said: "Xiao Da's strategy is to attack the north and south gates first, attract the defenders of the middle gate to rush to help, and then protect the saint to drive out of the west of the city to light the imperial flag. , the iron cavalry charged and broke the enemy army; the logistics and supplies have been stationed in Wucheng, guarded by Lin Huan; the allied forces of various clans, the commander-in-chief of King Xiyong..."

Yun Bing lowered his eyebrows, only focused on reading the letter, and said to Chu Rong: "The informant in the shadow department has to be reported. The fourth brother conspired with the ninth and fourteenth brothers to join the enemy tomorrow." Chu Rong said: "Fourth prince, after all The blood of the real dragon, the subordinates dare not speak rashly."

Yun Bing smiled and said: "Chu Qing is benevolent, and she refuses to discuss a few words. But according to Han Shui's plan, my brothers will not only fail to live, but will die in every possible way." Chu Rong said calmly: "The princess clearly judged .”

The next day, the three princes slipped out of the West Terrace with the support of a group of servants and fled to Lin'an.The prince is happy and treats each other with national courtesy, but Fang Tuo pays more attention and orders people to search the private houses of the princes the next day, and unexpectedly finds several spy letters with pictures of the military defense in the city.The three princes couldn't argue with each other, and they were immediately punished by Fang Tuo for the crime of treason, and they became ghosts under the knife.

To find out what happened here, it was Han Shui who drew up the spy information based on the information of Yuhua Pavilion, and ordered his confidants to take it with him, and mixed in with the servants of the three princes, and then planted and framed him after entering the city.

Since ancient times, if you are angry and calm the world, you are called righteous, and you are a king; if you kill and destroy chaos, you are called evil, and you are a bandit.In front of all the ministers, Yun Bing covered his face with red eyes and sobbed: "Father is seriously ill. The three younger brothers entered the city under the imperial order. They were originally filial, but the treacherous party made troubles and became so rampant..." Xiao Da said: " The Fang Party hijacked the emperor and killed the royal family indiscriminately, and the laws of heaven cannot tolerate it!"

All the ministers were filled with righteous indignation, and the three armies were all boiling.The sun rises in the east, the clouds roll over Phnom Penh, a war drum sounds, and the iron armor is covered with blood. The battle for imperial power that has been brewing for ten years erupts in an instant.

The bloody battle between the two sides in front of the north and south gates, Xiao Da ordered his soldiers to sweep up the dust and bluff, frightening Fang Lei hurriedly dispatched troops from the middle platform to deploy defenses.The generals of China and Taiwan refused to obey the orders of the two Taiwans, and all of them were sluggish and did not fight.

Military reports poured in from all directions, Fang Lei didn't panic, he just commanded indiscriminately, not half as mature as Xiao Da.Seeing that the defenders in the west of the city were empty and the city gate could be attacked, Xiao Da suppressed the cavalry general's call for battle and waited calmly for the imperial flag.

Unexpectedly, the world was collapsing outside, but Fang Tuo, the old middle school secretary, was not going anywhere, holding hundreds of civil servants, and guarding in front of the Emperor's Great Hall.Lu Sheng raised his robe with his sword, and went to Fang Tuo and said, "They are going to kidnap the emperor and leave the city, and they have ambushed heavy troops in the western suburbs. At this time, it is the best policy to attack Wucheng and burn its supplies."

Xiao Yu and Lin Yun were also in front of the hall, seeing Lu Sheng's betrayal, but they were too late to deliver the letter.Fang Tuo smiled and said to the civil servants: "Lang Lang is doing his best, and the fate of the traitors, everyone is optimistic."

After saying that, the Habayashi Army captured people, Xiao Yu, Lin Yun and the Qingyang Party were all tied up.Retaining life is a pledge, the butcher's knife will not fall for the time being, the emperor is still trapped in the sleeping palace, and the prince has already sat on the dragon chair and is bowed by all officials.

Two smears of blood descended from the sky, like the bloody red pupils of the king of Hades angrily opened, stained with red flames.The cavalry in the west of the city waited to no avail, but a military report suddenly came from the central army.The scout rolled off the horse covered in blood, and reported: "Master Lin Huan died in battle, and Wucheng fell!"

One sentence of failure will shatter the dream of home and country.Gritting his teeth, Xiao Da immediately said to the lieutenant general: "You lead 3000 people to protect the princess and retreat. I will stay here and fight the enemy to the death." Da Leng said: "Anyone who violates the military order will be executed."

At dusk, blood flowed all over the fields, and corpses piled up under the city gate.The war drums were still weeping, Xiao Da drew his sword out of its sheath, and personally led the last fifty thousand cavalry, rushed towards the rain of arrows, seeing death as his home.Fang Lei was so red-eyed, he hurt himself several times and slaughtered innocently, he didn't care about the cold arrow piercing his conscience.The sword was bloodthirsty, chopping the sky and the ground, Xiao Da was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, turned over and fell to the ground.

In the confusion, he picked up his sword and got up, and got another arrow in his leg.The soldiers rushed forward to rescue him, but Xiao Da refused, and pointed his sword forward.The scarlet gold inlaid Chaotian Gate seems to be close in front of the eyes, but it is separated by life and death.

At dusk, there was a dull sound of "Zhi Ya" from Zhumen, and the afterglow entered the iron city, reflecting a golden dragon banner.Xiao Da squinted his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Is... Your Majesty?" The golden saddle illuminated the white horse, rustling like shooting stars, and the imperial chariot, escorted by three thousand silver dragon armor guards, broke through the city.

In the flames and smoke, Xiao Da was speechless for a moment, he couldn't recognize people, he couldn't recognize voices, but he caught sight of the Scarlet Heaven Sword casted with the rune of Yuetianying.The guard holding the sword, dressed in a silver robe, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, was General Qi Lin.

The imperial flag was dazzling and unfurled in the wind, no one dared to stop it, Xiao Da waved his eyes and ordered the whole army to charge towards King Qin.Qingyang's morale was boosted, and they came here, but Fang Lei still didn't know it, and stared at him, saying: "How is this possible!" The heart will eventually become a rout.

Those who observe the situation, look at each other with white swords and blood, and those who control the situation, never die.In the 28th year of Tianping, in Xingyue, the Qingyang Party rebelled and seized the heir, which is known as the Battle of Yingju in history.

The imperial chariot came across the river of corpses, Xiao Da leaned on his sword and bowed in pain: "The escort of criminals is late." Qi Lin laughed jokingly, pulled the imperial flag and wiped the sword stains.The young general got the order and stepped forward to lift the curtain. It turned out that there was only a scarecrow sitting in the chariot.The generals were shocked and at a loss for a while.Xiao Da reprimanded: "How dare you..."

There may not be an emperor in the imperial chariot, because the Qi family was ordered by the late emperor to raise [-] silver dragon armor guards and hold the gold medal of the King of Qin. Now that they have sacrificed such outfits today, no one dares not believe it.Qi Lin said with a smile: "Soldiers never tire of cheating, this imperial flag can correct people's hearts, it's good if you win."

Xiao Da said: "Where are the emperor and the empress now?" Qi Lin said: "Maybe they are in the palace." Xiao Da immediately sent a deputy general to lead the army to rescue him, then turned around and said meaningfully: "The way of the world treats you meanly, However, you don’t care about the previous suspicions and help, and Xiao appreciates it.” Don’t ask about the past again, Qi Lin smiled uncontrollably: “Party struggles will never end, and the common people will have no hope. Qi does not help anyone, but does things according to his heart.”

Jiang Tian was snowy, and the night was cold. When Qingyang soldiers invaded the palace, Fang Tuo was still ruthless, and held Shengjia hostage to deter the invaders.However, Lu Sheng saw the wind and turned the helm, and the Habayashi army turned and attacked, and immediately tied up the prince and hundreds of people from the Fangdang family and put them in prison.

On the cusp of the storm, seeing that the palace has no owner, Lin Yun resigned as the director of the Minister of Shangshu to avoid rumors; Xiao Da was decisive and immediately led his troops to Daming Palace to rescue Empress Xiao; only Xiao Yu and thousands of Yulin troops stayed behind in the palace.

Xiao Yu asked: "Is it in accordance with the rules to face the saint at this time?" Lu Sheng said: "Lord You Cheng, according to the etiquette, you should first listen to the order when Xuan Qingyang Princess and all the royal family members." Blood knife, broke into the palace.

In the Dragon Palace, the curtain wave does not move, and the new moon is light and bright.Emperor Yunping lay stiffly on the bed, half breathed.The eunuch Jin Fang was serving paper and pen to record the edict, and a group of concubines and maids fell to the ground and cried.Seeing someone lift a knife, Jin Fang trembled all over.Xiao Yu straightened up and said: "Your Majesty's dragon body is safe and well?" Yun Ping coughed and panted, "Where is Bing'er? I, I will pass on her. Hurry up and declare her into the palace, don't kill Huan'er."

Xiao Yu sneered and said: "When the Qishan incident happened, the princess was only 12 years old. May I ask what your Majesty did, did you have half a father's love?!" Yun Ping trembled slightly and didn't answer.Jin Fang was quick-witted and shouted for escort, and the next moment, Xiao Yu kicked away the eunuch and maid, raised the knife in his hand, and killed the king on the spot in the curtain.

When the Yubayashi army entered, they saw a group of birds and beasts scattered, and those who stayed were loyal, and they fell to the ground and cried bitterly.Xiao Yu said calmly: "The crown prince conspired to rebel and kill his father, and I can't wait to protect him. There is an edict from the previous emperor, which is passed on to Princess Yunbing in Qingyang, to recruit the world." The so-called success and defeat, Lu Sheng saw Xiao Yu and stayed behind. There is only one way to survive, and I have to obey my orders in every possible way.

The imperial city was full of blood and rain, and it was hard to get any news day and night. When Yun Bing and all the royal family members entered the main city, the east had already dawned.Passing through the west gate, all the ministers knelt down in peace and supported the empress.Unknown, Yun Bing went inside, and rolled the curtain and asked: "Is the father, the queen, and the mother all right?" Chu Rong held the edict in his hand and said: "The late emperor has died, and the queen mother is well." Yun Bing was startled, and then ordered: "Don't enter the palace for the time being, and leave the chariot in front of the gate."

Hearing the news, Uncle Xiao Guo walked to the main gate to respectfully invite the holy driver.Yun Bing did not show his face, and asked behind the curtain: "Who is in command of the army now?" Xiao Yu said: "The old minister's nephew Xiao Da." Yun Bing said: "Who is in command of the Yulin Army?" Xiao Yu said: "The old minister wants to replace Xiao Rui. "

Yun Bing said: "Uncle Guo wants to change, or has he already changed?" The officials were quite critical, Xiao Yu couldn't see the expression inside through the curtain, so he didn't answer for now.Yun Bing said: "The Xiao family has made meritorious deeds in protecting the country, and the merits will last for thousands of years. However, the affairs of the clan are determined by the will of heaven."

In front of the main gate of Kyushu, Chu Rong took advantage of God's will to proclaim the decree, ordering Xiyong King Yun'an to temporarily take charge of Yulin and manage the affairs of the royal family.Enthronement can be extended, and Lin'an can be surrendered, but the palace cannot be messed up.Yun Bing had an in-depth conversation with Jin Fang and other old people overnight, and all the officials who used him personally checked and worked tirelessly.

The author has something to say:

Xiao Yu is a very capable, courageous, and bloody person.There is a reason why he killed the king here, which will be explained in detail later.
