Chapter 1103: Military Prestige at its Peak
In the stormy city of Kaifeng, every family is closed, and there is no half of a figure on the originally flowery streets.
Whether it is a dignitary, a nobleman, a wealthy merchant or a peddler, almost everyone hides in front of the window or behind the door, listening nervously to the movement in the street.
The people of the city, although very frightened, did not have much property to be deprived of. No matter how scared the people are, if they are too afraid, they are not so afraid.
No matter how ruthless and greedy the new master of the empire is, he must always reward the grass people with half a mouthful of food, so that everyone will not starve to death, right?
The ministers and generals who had offended Li Zhongyi fiercely were all like pins and needles, like ants on a hot pot, and they couldn't live in fear.
In the political affairs hall, the center of power of the empire, Fan Zhen sat behind the bookcase, looking calm and leisurely.
However, Yang Jiong, who has been standing behind Fan Zhen, is like a mirror, and Enxiang's heart is already full of evil waves.
The big guys have a lot of unusual quirks. According to rumors, the more angry Li Zhongyi is, the more he will smile brightly, and killing people with a smile is just an idle matter!
Correspondingly, the more Fan Zhen is facing a big crisis, the more calm and calm he is, this so-called prime minister's bearing!
"Fan Gong, please forgive the old man for being a step late and making Fan Gong frightened!" Li Qiong, who was dressed in full military uniform and had white hair, stroked the saber in his hand and strode into the official hall of Fan Qian.
What kind of powerful person is Zhao Kuangyin? Since he wants to dedicate the city to meritorious service, and under the wing of Li Zhongyi, he will continue to be in obscurity peacefully, he must understand that controlling the political affairs hall, the Privy Council, the front division of the palace and the pro-military division of the guards is actually much more important than mastering the palace.
One of the most important is the political hall that controls the world's major policies.
Without waiting for Fan Zhen to react, Li Qiong's old troops, the officers and soldiers of Tianwuwei, swarmed in, wrapped the entire political hall with dumplings, and surrounded it.
This is Zhao Lao Er, another person would never have thought of contacting Li Qiong, and giving Li Qiong a large piece of the thick credit!
Li Qiniang eloped to find Li Zhongyi, and it was absolutely impossible for the Huayang County Mansion to leak such a shameful scandal. Even the vast majority of high-ranking officials are still kept in the dark, and it is not clear.
However, the old Zhao family has its own complete intelligence system, and Zhao Kuangyin happens to be one of the very few people who know.
What's more, Li Qiong has always been in the same breath as Li Zhongyi, and the relationship is extremely close, and he can be regarded as a well-known political ally on the table.
Zhao Kuangyin was not wrong, he boarded the door of the Huayang County Mansion alone, took himself as a hostage, and waited until Tianwuwei was completely returned to Li Hu's hands, and immediately received a positive response from Li Qiong.
This is also Zhao Kuangyin's strength, he has seen through people's hearts, and his courage is amazing, he actually dares to use himself as a hostage in exchange for Li Qiong's trust and cooperation.
After careful negotiation, Zhao Kuangyin was responsible for sacrificing the city gate to ensure that the Li family's army entered the city smoothly. The vital Imperial Palace, the Political Affairs Hall, the Privy Council, the Front Division of the Palace, and the Pro-Military Division of the Guards were all handed over to the Tianwu Guard, which was controlled by Li Qiong's father and son.
During the entire negotiation process, Zhao Kuangyin noticed that Zuo Ziguang's handwriting was revealed everywhere, but Zuo Ziguang never showed up.
"Gong Li, Ling Yan's future is bright, and the old man congratulated him in advance." Fan Zhen, who had not squeaked, as soon as he opened his mouth, he fiercely attacked Li Qiong's army.
Li Qiong smiled without any embarrassment, smiled very naturally, smiled very happily, and said with a smile: "Haha, by Fan Xianggong's auspicious words, if the little girl really has a bright future in the future, then the old man will come to the door in person and invite the most talented Liulang of the Fan Mansion to come out of the mountain." ”
Yang Jiong sighed secretly, in other words, how could a vulgar martial artist like Li Qiong dare to be so presumptuous in front of Enxiang?
Li Qiong took out the descendants of the Fan family as an arrow target without showing a trace, in fact, he was warning Fan Zhen not to try to play tricks, otherwise, the disaster of the entire family overthrow was just around the corner.
The situation is stronger than people, and people are under the roof, what is the use of using their tongues in vain?
Xiucai meets soldiers, no matter how reasonable it is, how can it be said clearly?
"Fan Xianggong, the Queen Mother has to see you, please." The reason why Li Qiong did not show up for a long time was mainly because when Tianwuwei controlled the palace, a small number of guards in the golden gun squad with imperial equipment were always loyal to the Chai family, and they drew their swords to resist, which led to a small-scale battle.
Li Qiong commanded his old subordinates to extinguish the resistance in time, completely control the palace, and left Li Hu to lead the troops to guard the palace.
Fan Zhen got up slowly, and suddenly arched his hand: "The old man is on the wrong team, even if the family is completely destroyed, he deserves it." However, old minister, although the first emperor has a place to treat you badly, after all, he didn't kill you on the grounds of defeat, did he? ”
The master has made a move, and it is clear at one point!
Fan Qian's voice-over, Li Qiong naturally understands it, didn't Fan Xianggong just want to say: Don't kill the little emperor?
But the problem is that the new master of the empire is Li Zhongyi, not him Li Qiong, such a big thing, Li Qiongan dares to promise?
"Alas, Fan Xianggong, you are an understanding person, don't embarrass the old man, right?" Li Qiong didn't want to say anything against her heart, and it was impossible to make any promises, so she could only sigh and express her sympathy euphemistically.
"Let's go." Fan Zhen walked out of the political hall with heavy steps, and when he went down the steps to get into the carriage, he turned his head to look at the plaque on the door, turned around and boarded the carriage.
The last defensive force in Kaifeng City, and the only remaining military pillar of the Chai Zhou regime, the more than 40,000 vulnerable security troops, were led out of the city by Zhao Kuangyin, and under the strict supervision of the Li family's army, they collectively abandoned their weapons and revolted.
There are all kinds of power in the world, and the power of the army is the most important!
The last few remnants of the army have all "revolted", is it possible for the Chai Zhou regime to hold on? From then on, the old look will change to a new look, and the empire will change its master!
When the new master of the empire enters Beijing, it is necessary to announce to the world: Shun Tian obeys his orders, and the country changes hands!
The easiest way to deter the careerists of the whole country and win the hearts of the people is to show the military prestige at its peak!
With Li Zhongyi's order, the officers and men of the third, fourth and fifth armies entered the city from each gate, first firmly grasped all the gates of Kaifeng, and then quickly advanced along the central axis of the palace.
Li Zhongyi lightly rode the reins of his horse, and with his bloody and clever four hooves, he carried the new master of the empire and galloped into the capital of the Han Dynasty.
The common people, who had been nervous about the movement on the street, suddenly heard the sound of the snare drum, which was both familiar and unfamiliar, from far and near, crisp and very rhythmic.
"Boom, boom, boom......" On the originally silent street, there was an earth-shattering sound of neat footsteps, the earth began to tremble, the beams began to shake, and the coarse porcelain play on the table began to beat.
"Whoa, ......whoa, whoa, whoa" accompanied the footsteps of Li Jiajun's entry into the city, and the iron armor on the soldiers' bodies also made a deafening noise.
I don't know why, in the queue of the army entering the city, a thunderous cry suddenly erupted, "Long live my lord, long live, long live!" ”
In the mansion of the dignitaries, ......the sound of the broken porcelain on the tea cup on the ground sounded one after another, intertwined into an alternative accompaniment to the city ceremony.
PS: The empire has a new owner, and Sikong continues to watch more than two more, in exchange for a few monthly passes!
