Chapter 222: A Hundred Feet of Collusion Between Inside and Outside (17)
After speaking, more than a dozen nearby soldiers stood up and said, "I'm waiting to go!" Is there no one in the Song Kingdom who dares to die and is loyal to the king? ”
These people followed Gongsun Ze's example, cut off a strand of their hair, handed it over to the person who patrolled the city, reported their names, and publicly elected Gongsun Ze as the leader.
Along the way, they agitated at the city wall, and gathered forty-five people, all of whom were swordsmen with strong martial arts, and rushed towards the palace in the city.
…………
In the palace, a small number of armor soldiers are on guard.
Two ink men escorted the wounded servant all the way.
When the people saw that it was Mo, they gave way one after another, without resentment and pro-Jin.
When the nobles saw that it was the ink man, they only ordered their own armor to never hurt the ink person, and only let them pass.
When Zitian saw the ink man coming, he was overjoyed, thinking that the ink man must have answered his question.
Whether he was inspiring or so arrogant before, it was all to establish his image before the servants.
He felt that he knew the rules of the Inkmen very well, so he found a reason why the Inkers would inevitably intervene: the rebellion of those people was interference in defending the city.
It is precisely because of this kind of mind that he can stand still and be fearless in front of everyone. Only in this way will it be possible to win the loyalty of some people.
Whether it is pro-Chu or pro-Jin, it is all humiliation in his opinion.
He always felt that Shang Tang could use forty chariots to get into trouble and punish Xia Wei, King Wu could rely on 3,000 tigers to burn Lutai, and Gou Jian could defeat Wu with 3,000 gentlemen, so he had a thousand miles of Song, and he might not be able to succeed.
Today, he was sure that the Ink Scholar would become a sharp blade in his hands, so as to eradicate those nobles who were extremely disadvantageous to him.
Especially his uncle, after all, after the Song State was a merchant, there was a tradition of brother to brother, and the perennial coup d'état, the struggle between father and son and brother never stopped, and it was more chaotic than the inheritance rights of other countries that obeyed Zhou etiquette and Zhou customs.
The Song Kingdom has always been a Zhou etiquette and customs, and even the location of the coffin of the dead is different from the country of Zhou Tianzi's relatives, so it will become a country of jokes for many Zhou Tianzi's relatives.
How can you not be happy to think that today you will be able to eradicate your most threatening enemy with the help of the Mo, who is unlikely to participate in the coup d'état and maintain absolute neutrality?
But after the two entered, the attendant asked Mozi's three questions, Zitian's face changed suddenly, and his heart was extremely panicked.
knew that he couldn't show a panicked expression at this time, but the shock in his heart made it difficult for him to control his emotions.
He knew that Mozi had always hoped that the monarch would abide by the morality of the Mo family, but if it wasn't for the time of the country's demise, which monarch would be willing to abide by those things?
Now that Mozi asked him three things, he hadn't done any of them, so Mozi was actually telling him that Mozi wouldn't help him.
He didn't expect that he thought he had seen through the rules of the ink man, but in fact he didn't understand it at all.
Unexpectedly, the Mo family's sophistry made him unable to refute it at all: the ban did not write that it was forbidden to riot among the countrymen, and if the rebellious nobles were not regarded as a means for the Chu people to attack the city, the Mo people would have no reason to come forward.
However, if those rebellious nobles were regarded as a means for the Chu people to attack the city, it meant that he, the king, had no power to punish them, and could only hand it over to the Chu people to punish these nobles.
The two ink masters were not afraid, and only asked, "Have you heard the words of the giant prince?" Now, it's up to you to decide. ”
In order to make Zitian make a decision quickly, the two ink masters said: "When we came just now, there were hundreds of armor soldiers outside the palace, and thousands of people. ”
"The people don't know why they are defending the city, and if even our Xuanyi Department can't convince them, then it's your sin."
Zitian knew that these unsuccessful ink artists had always had no respect for the monarch.
He grew up in the palace and had seen Mozi or Mozi's disciples many times, spitting in front of his father, knowing that these disciples of Mozhai were not afraid of death at all, and no one could talk to them except for the orders of the giant.
Zitian took a deep breath, and while he was still hesitating, a soldier hurriedly ran over and told him that the soldiers who were making trouble outside had gathered and were demolishing the house and preparing wood to make tools for attacking the palace chambers in the inner city.
The two ink men were expressionless, just standing with their swords in their hands, and Zitian's previous words completely dissipated with Mozi's reply, leaving only endless anxiety.
He is the Duke of Song, so he is destined to be killed once he loses his position, he will not even have a chance to escape.
Now he has no other way, he doesn't come forward to tell the people, and the people outside won't believe it.
If you go and say it yourself, you will probably be shot to death as soon as you show your head.
Now, Zitian knows that the only one who can make the people believe is the Mo. As for how they will convince the people, that is not a question for him to think about.
It's just that he doesn't know what conditions the Mo family wants him to agree to. It can only be said that some of the truths of the Mo family must not be listened to as a monarch, but now that it is in danger, what can you do if you don't listen?
Just as he was hesitating, he heard a shout outside, and the sound of wood hitting the gate of the palace.
Apparently, the rebellious nobles had already begun to attack.
Some people shouted loudly, telling Zitian's guilt as the king.
For example, when his father died, he changed the yuan, such as the uneven reward and punishment of Sicheng, such as the burial of the countrymen for his own selfishness, such as angering the Chu people and causing this siege......
All of this is constantly being heard intermittently.
Vaguely, someone sang that nursery rhyme, just saying that today's events are in accordance with the destiny of heaven, otherwise how could such a nursery rhyme come out three years ago?
Zitian was shocked, knowing that he couldn't do anything.
Unlike previous coups, those who failed in the past can still flee.
But now that the Chu people are besieging the city, once the coup d'état of the other party is successful, where can he, the monarch, flee to?
Zitian thought to himself, it is better to agree at this time, and there is no other way.
As for what to do after agreeing, it may be troublesome, but at this time, it is like dying of thirst, even if there is a glass of wine, you can only drink it.
He was about to promise the two ink men, but he didn't want another sound of fighting outside, and Zitian's words stopped as soon as he came to his mouth.
The heart said: "Is there something wrong?" If something happens, why should I agree to Mo's terms? ”
A soldier rushed to the palace and shouted, "Your Majesty, there is a group of people who are fighting against the rebels, extremely brave, and are approaching the palace. ”
When Zitian heard this, he knew that if there were still people fighting at this time, it was obvious that these people were here to rescue him.
He couldn't help but think of many stories, remembering who he had been kind to?
Back then, Qin Zhisavage stole Qin Bo's horse, and after eating it, Qin Bo captured it and should have been executed, but Qin Bo said that he heard that the horse liver is poisonous, and if he doesn't drink alcohol, he will get sick, and since the horse has eaten it, he might as well drink some more wine.
In the future, when Qin Bo was besieged, it was these savages who risked their lives to save them.
There was also the matter of the King of Chu's Absolute Meeting, and the matter of Wei Gang's grass title ring, Zitian couldn't help but be secretly happy, and said in his heart, Could it be that I have done such a thing in the past that can make people die?
If it is done today, there will be a beautiful event in the history books that can be as famous as Qin Boci wine, Zhuang Wang's absolute ying, and Wei Gang's grass.
Zida hurriedly ascended to the top and looked outside under the escort of the armor.
Outside, the rebel nobles had surrounded the palace, and thousands of people followed, most of them had no weapons in their hands, but they were all in the mood of watching the excitement, and some even pointed at the palace.
Zitian knew that the people's hearts were not available.
If this was the son Bao back then, where would these people be there to point and watch the excitement? It will definitely be excited to fight with these noble armorers.
Looking at the southwest side of the palace again, there were about forty or fifty people, wearing leather armor and holding short swords, spears, bows and arrows, following one person to charge and kill, and assault towards the palace side.
The person who was the leader, but Zitian recognized it.
When the Ink Scholar organized the armor in the city to attack the Chu people at night, Zitian remembered that this person was among them, but he was pedantic, and he was still thinking about what a gentleman was in the battle array.
Therefore, after capturing the Chu nobles and returning, when Zitian rewarded those people, he said mockingly that this person was a true gentleman, but in fact he scolded him for being pedantic.
As the monarch of the Song Kingdom, Zitian knew that many of his ancestors had died above his mouth.
There are those who were expelled because of their mouths, there were those who had their necks broken because of their mouths, and there were those who were almost shot to death because of their mouths...... However, even with these precedents, most of the successive Song dukes still retained the habit of being cheap.
Zitian remembered that the scholar who had been ridiculed by himself was named Gongsun Ze, and he was even more puzzled.
It can be seen that Gongsun Ze is desperately approaching the palace and fighting with those noble armorers. Zitian thought to himself, since I have mocked this person, why would this person serve so much?
At this time, the scholars, all proud like swans that could not be molested, were a royal hand because they didn't eat mutton when they were rewarded, so they all drove the car directly to the doctor and was captured in the military formation. There are also things such as killing the whole family because of a mockery, not hesitating to make trouble, and killing the king.
Before Zitian ascended, he thought about the story of Qin Bo giving wine and King Zhuang's absolute reins, but he never thought that it was a person who had been ridiculed by himself who desperately came to rescue him at this time.
From afar, he heard what Gongsun Ze was shouting there, Zitian vaguely heard something like ordering Zijun to make the world stable, and heard something like eating the king's Lu, and couldn't help but say: "This person! A true gentleman too! ”
After attacking the Chu people on the night before the month, he had said it, and the object was the same person.
It's just that the taste is completely different today than it was then.
The gentleman of that day was pedantic. Today's gentlemen are loyal. In fact, it is the same gentleman, but Zitian's heart is different.
Looking into the distance, it seems that some people are also running towards this side, as if they are also coming to their aid.
Zitian secretly thought, after all, the etiquette of the world is still useful, he is the monarch after all, and there are some people who naturally want to protect him.
Zitian thought, perhaps, the turning point of the matter is here, and there is no need to agree to the conditions of the ink man, maybe the etiquette and rules that exist in the world can save him, so why do you need the rules of the ink man?
As soon as his mind moved, he ignored the ink man waiting for a reply beside him, Zitian personally drew his bow, made a gesture of helping the battle, and said to his close attendants: "Prepare a soft ladder, and when those gentlemen approach, cover them into the Xiao Wall!" ”
The two ink writers who were waiting for a reply were still expressionless, and they retreated to the side very indifferently, and said in their hearts: "It's appropriate to say, send charcoal in the snow." Zitian, Zitian, I'm afraid that these people in front of me can't be regarded as charcoal, but can only be regarded as a little flame. You are still looking forward to a turnaround, then it is not the time for us to make a move, it seems that this day is still not cold enough! How do you know how powerful the anger of the people can be? Although it is not as good as the profit, it is not something you can afford! ”
