Lord of the House

Vol 12 Chapter 8: Suburban Welcome (1)

On the 28th, the cold wind that had been blowing all night ended in the early morning. After the early morning, a clear and sunny sky appeared.

Go out of Chongyang Gate, go west through Tianshui Bridge to the long pavilion of ten miles, and flags are planted all over the road. The cavalry cavalry also controlled the nearby high places and set up dozens of observation posts.

Zhang Yubo, the governor of Jiangning Prefecture, did not rush to Chongwen Hall to support the emperor and leave the city in the early morning, but came to Chongyangmen. People filed out from the door.

More people occupied both sides of the long street from Chongyang City to the Imperial City early to wait for the troops and horses to enter the city. There are also countless people from the surrounding villages and towns flowing to Chongyang and the city.

Although it is less than two days before the New Year's Day, the ordinary people still have uncontrollable enthusiasm for the event that Duke Chongguo was awarded a class teacher and Tianzijiao welcome; two days ago, the official announcement was officially issued to set the Tianzijiao welcome, and Jiangning City Immediately fell into an uncontrollable boiling. In the past two days, the city of Jiangning has been decorated with lanterns, as if the Chinese New Year has come early.

Zhang Yubo is familiar with the code system, "the emperor welcomes the suburbs", "gives nine tins", and "establishes officials to set up generals". To put it bluntly, it is to build momentum and pave the way for "chan concession". Lin Fu ascended the throne through "chan concession", so there is no need to carry on his back as a minister. The eternal notoriety of murdering the lord and usurping the throne can also enable the new dynasty to obtain the natural legal status of continuing the old dynasty.

Compared with slaughtering the master and usurping the throne, ascending the throne through "concession" will limit the **** affairs between the two clans of Lin and Yuan, and will not infinitely expand the old court officials into the **** storm to carry out ruthless killing and cleansing - Zhang Yubo's heart Also full of conflicting emotions.

At this time, Zhao Shuhan, who was wearing civilian clothes, went up to the tower. Even if Zhao Shuhan took out the silver medal, he would not let Xu Dengcheng go until after the inspection of Su Shoujia. Zhang Yubo looked at Zhao Shuhan and said, "Isn't Brother Zhao sick at home? Come over to join in the fun again, aren't you afraid of being seen by the Privy Council?"

"I can't sit still," Zhao Shuhan said with a wry smile, "Lin Fu wants to ascend to the emperor, I am the first to oppose him, and he is upright, so what is there to be afraid of?"

"The book of residence issued by the Minister of General Affairs has publicly discussed the difference between the imperial court and the state, saying that the imperial court is just a family of one surname, and if it dies, the surname will change; Cannibalism is also related to the people of the world. The death of a country is not a private matter of a clan of a surname and a monarch and a minister. Every man in the world is responsible. This is to put the distinction between the Han and the barbarians above the continuation of the imperial tradition.” Zhang Yubo said.

"There are already scholars in the city who have openly discussed the ancient three emperors and five emperors' renunciation," Zhao Shuhan said, "At this time, the emperor will greet him in the suburbs, and he will give Jiuxi. Bar?"

Zhang Yubo smiled helplessly and said, "Look at the soldiers and civilians in the city, and then look at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty who gathered outside the Chongwen Palace and waited for Emperor Yongxing to leave the city to welcome him. You will know that this situation cannot be changed by three or five people. !"

"I just hope that there will be less blood," Zhao Shuhan sighed, then shook his head and said, "But since ancient times, it has been rare for a dynasty to change without blood... Brother Yu, will you behave like this?"

"Jiangning has generally settled down, and I don't need to rely on Jiangning's governor's post as a corpse meal. I think with Lin Bie's heart, I will always allow me to resign and return to the rivers and lakes," Zhang Yubo asked Zhao Shuhan again, "Brother Zhao, can you go with me, send your heart to a small boat, and don't care about right or wrong?"

"I don't know where to go..." Zhao Shuhan looked at the clear sky of Chongyangmen in confusion, and he still vividly remembered the situation where the three of them met when Lin Fu first entered Jiangningli. Who could imagine that so much happened in ten years? Earth-shattering changes?

"I came out of the house, and the city was full of swordsmen," Zhao Shuhan said. "Huidong is also afraid that someone from the imperial party will take risks!"

Zhang Yubo said with a wry smile: "The general situation in Huaidong has been completed, so I thought that Lin Fu wanted to let go of Dai Yuan's ambition, but the people in Huaidong would not agree. What's the use of the imperial party taking risks? If things change, Lin Xuwen, Lin Mengde, Qin Chengzu , Cao Zi'ang and others will take the time to make a **** purge of the imperial family and the imperial party ministers..."

Zhao Shuhan nodded and said, "I'm also worried that some people in the imperial party are irrational! Whether they succeed or not, it will be a great harm."

There is really going to be an assassination case today. If it doesn't work, it will only give Lin Fu an excellent excuse to purge the figures of the Jiangning Imperial Party; if it does, maybe Huaidong will be divided and chaotic because of Lin Fu's sudden death, but they are splitting up. Before the chaos, they had the strength to cleanse the forces that would threaten them, and the imperial party must be the first target for the blood cleanup. One person was established as the young emperor and started a new dynasty.

Zhao Shuhan was even worried that Huaidong directed and acted a stabbing drama to confuse the people of the world so that he could directly abolish the establishment, so he couldn't sit still in the mansion to watch.

"Master Zhao is here too," Chen Enze, who was wearing armor, walked over and saw that Zhao Shuhan was also present, he just pretended he didn't know about his illness, looked at the sun, and said, "It's not too early, Why hasn't there been any movement in the palace?"

Zhang Yubo also looked nervously at the palace city in the east. No matter what, he hoped that today's welcome ceremony in the suburbs would be completed smoothly, and there would be no uncontrollable monsters. The world can have today's peace, it is too much It's not easy, Zhang Yubo doesn't want the world to be chaotic again, but if you think about how peaceful the world can be, it has nothing to do with the Yuan family of the imperial family.

*************

Although the wind is warm and sunny, Jiangning before the Chinese New Year is still dripping into ice.

More than a hundred officials dressed in red were waiting outside the Chongwen Hall. The freezing weather made their heads shrink from the cold, their hands hidden in their sleeves. But in the outer hall, apart from the dozen or so ministers in purple clothes who were waiting anxiously like them, there was no trace of Emperor Yongxing in sight.

The officials inside and outside the palace looked at each other in dismay, thinking in their hearts: No one is seen at this time. If the emperor gets angry and bites the bullet out of the city to go out to the suburbs to welcome Duke Chongguo back to Beijing, how will this end?

Do we have to turn the Suburb Welcome Ceremony into a **** massacre!

On the steps, the armored soldiers of the Imperial Palace City stood like sculptures in the cold wind, but under the illumination of the winter sun, the armored blade radiated a cold light, piercing the hearts of the people - this made everyone's hearts tighten even more.

At this time, a group of men and horses came from outside the palace city, led by Lin Xuwen, the deputy minister and head of the household, and Qin Chengzu, who was the deputy envoy of the privy and who was involved in the military.

Today, only the important officials of the Huaidong lineage can call the armored soldiers to guard the palace city. Qin Chengzu is also dressed in brown armor, with a simple and unpretentious saber around his waist, but it makes the current atmosphere even more chilling, as if there is already a slaughter in the air. **** smell.

The officials who thought they could talk to Lin Xuwen and Qin Chengzu in front of them, greeted them and greeted them with all their might. The other officials stood on the periphery, smiling from their restless emotions, for fear of Huai The people of the East forgot that they had expressed their closeness to the Chongguo Gongfu, for fear that the city would be **** and involve them together today...

"Your Majesty is dizzy when he wakes up in the morning, and he hasn't got his clothes on yet." Cheng Yuqian in the Chongwen Hall watched Lin Xuwen and Qin Chengzu come over together, with more than 100 extra soldiers with murderous aura. He was nervous and walked out of the hall. , with a little explanation.

Lin Xuwen looked up at the sun, looked at Qin Chengzu, and said, "No hurry, there is still time."

Cheng Yuqian didn't understand for a while whether Lin Xuwen said that Emperor Yongxing still had time to change his clothes, or whether they would have to wait for a while before starting.

Although the guards in the palace city are also under the control of the Privy Council, the matter of killing the imperial family, obviously cannot call the guards of the guarding battalion who are guarding the palace guards to do it, so as to avoid creating a bad example for future generations to follow.

As long as the generals of the forbidden camp were ordered to remain silent, more than a hundred soldiers behind Qin Chengzu would be able to kill the forbidden palace to the brink of blood, leaving no one alive—and the important men of the Huaidong family, except for Lin Xuwen and Qin Chengzu, came to the palace. In addition, Lin Tingli first went to the ten-mile long pavilion to the west of Tianshui Bridge to wait for the general platform, while Lin Mengde was still sitting in the Privy Council, Sun Jingxuan, Hu Zhicheng, Qian Xiaowu and others were in the Chongguo Gongfu, and Zhou Pu, the commander of the forbidden cavalry army, was also there. Returning from quarrying one step earlier, and sitting in Chongyangmen with Chen Enze, Dayoujiao will kill Yuanyue if they fail to meet them.

In the Longevity Palace, the atmosphere was also chilling. There were nearly twice as many guards in the palace courtyard than usual, and they were all raw faces that had never been seen before. The face of the jailer was also filled with unspeakable emotions and unspeakable depression. At this time, Miao Shuo rushed over from outside the hall, and listened to the footsteps at the tip of Liang's ears on the inside of the hall door, and asked, "Yes Is Miao Shuo back?"

"It's an old slave," Miao Shuo said anxiously and uneasy, ignoring that the guards around him were actually Huaidong's eyes and ears. Ken Muyi…”

Hailing Wang Yuanjianhai said bitterly: "I knew he was a useless guy, but it happened at this time that he became angry. The Jiaoying incident has already been announced to the world, and the abolition of the ceremony at this time is because Huaidong has not caught enough points. ?"

"What should we do now?" Shen Rong was also in a hurry, and he was at a loss at this time.

If Emperor Yongxing did not dare to go out to greet him, he would not be able to force him out of the city.

"The only way to save the worry is to make Ai's family angry and die!" Liang Shi coughed violently and said intermittently, "Help Ai's family go to Chongwen Palace!" Yuan Yan hurriedly walked in to support the Queen Mother and went to Chongwen Palace. .

When I walked to the Chongwen Hall, I found that there was almost the smell of blood before the killing. Looking at the two sides of the rhinoceros in front of the hall, the soldiers had been replaced with military soldiers that were different from the armor of the soldiers of the forbidden battalion. I think it was Huaidong who transferred from another Yuan Yan couldn't help but think: Will he kill me under such a blade?

Liang turned a blind eye to the military pawns on both sides of the rhinoceros platform, and also turned a blind eye to Liao Shuchen such as Cheng Yuqian, Lin Xuwen, etc. who came to greet him, and asked Yuan Yan to help him and go straight to the inner hall of Chongwen Hall.

Just outside the screen of the inner hall, Yuan Yan heard Emperor Yongxing's hysterical roar: "Jiuxi has also been granted, and the right to open the mansion has also been rewarded. Today, I want to go out to the suburbs to welcome him, what else does he want in the future? Reward, what reward will I give him? Apart from handing over the world, what else can I give him! You all say that you are my loyal ministers, and today you are forcing me to go out of the city and go to the suburbs to welcome a disobedient minister who intends to usurp the throne. Not forcing me to surrender the world to him..."

At this time, there was a sinister response from the inner hall: "It's okay for the emperor to think so!"

Yuan Yan's heart skipped a beat, this was going to force Gong Chan to give in!

"Presumptuous!" Mr. Liang shouted angrily, pushed down the screen, raised his crutches, and threw at Liu Zhi who said "nothing is impossible".

Liu Zhi was beaten to the head by the crutches, and the blood was broken. Seeing that the Empress Dowager Liang was going to call with the crutches, she covered her forehead and raised her head to block, but because of Liang's remaining power, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com did not dare to fight back. -Fortunately, Empress Dowager Liang was dying of illness. She used up all her strength in one crouch, bent down like a boiled shrimp and coughed desperately. Black blood was all over the snowpa.

Lin Xuwen, who was standing behind, gave Liu Zhi a wink and asked him to go down and bandage the wound first.

The Liang family calmed down for a while, and regardless of the presence of Lin Xuwen and Qin Chengzu, he questioned Emperor Yongxing like a wild dog about to be slaughtered: "The welcome ceremony in the suburbs has been announced to the world, and the emperor is now making trouble for this. How do you give the world an explanation?"

"The emperor's export is made, and his actions are rituals; if I am unwell, it is also a courtesy to go out to greet me; even if I ask any traitor to go against the world and kill him, I will also make him bear the eternal name of murdering the master and usurping the throne!" Emperor Yongxing roared excitedly, posing as if the fish died and the net was broken: even if he died, he would have to make Lin Bie bear the notoriety of murdering the master and usurping the throne, and was no longer willing to be forced to "cede" the throne at the mercy of Huaidong.

"The Son of Heaven abolishes the rituals and humiliates the ministers of the society. If there are one or two strong men who do not resent the rituals and abolish the ministers and humiliate them and use the blood to remonstrate them, and the Duke of Chongguo appoints another young emperor, how will the emperor treat him?" Empress Liang asked. All her life, she was immersed in growing up and aging in the scheming, knowing that Lin Fu did not want to bear the notoriety of murdering the master and usurping the throne. How sad?

The last trump card in Emperor Yongxing's hand was ruthlessly exposed to Liang's merciless exposure. Zhang Yan, who had been slumped on the dragon chair with a gas leak, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, don't give up the ceremony..." Jiang Ningcheng has already It is completely controlled by the Huaidong Army. If the emperor abolishes the ritual and humiliates Lin Fu, he will end up with five steps of blood. Huaidong's affairs, but definitely will not let the emperor's family have a little bit of cheapness. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
