Chapter 1039: The Nine Clans
A chilly autumn wind sounded, and a few leaves blew from nowhere, gently falling on the top of He Zhong and Lu Wen's heads, and slowly falling down their cheeks into their necks.
Ye Luo knew that it was cold, He Zhong and Lu Wen glanced at each other, their bodies were weak, and they sat on the ground dejectedly, their eyes full of despair and helplessness.
They knew that since the matter had been revealed, Hua'an would never let them go, and today was the death date of the two of them.
"Your Majesty, the battlefield has been cleaned, and more than 1,800 thieves have been exterminated in this battle, and more than 200 people have been captured alive." A confidant general reported to Hua'an with his fists clenched.
Hua An nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "Very good, there is nothing to do with you here, go back to the camp to receive the reward!" β
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The henchman general clenched his fists and led his 10,000 elites to leave the palace and run towards the temporary military camp outside Luoyang City.
Hua An smiled at the corner of his mouth, looked at He Zhong and Lu Wen who were sitting on the ground with a slight chill, and said coldly: "This king exterminated the thief, Uncle Guo and Lu Yushi seem to be very unhappy!" Why is that? β
"Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated, if you want to kill, you will kill, where is there so much nonsense? Hum! He Zhong knew that he would definitely not survive, so he simply put on a look full of backbone, but the weak image of him sitting on the ground made his hard words seem very pale and weak, and his soft legs and hard mouth were what kind of backbone.
"Uncle Huang, this is all He Zhong's conspiracy, everything is his idea, I was coerced by He Zhong, I am innocent, please Uncle Huang spare me! The emperor, beg the emperor to be gracious and give Weichen a chance to make meritorious service and atone for his sins. After saying that, he began to grab the ground with his head.
Obviously, in the face of imminent death, Lu Wen suddenly became very manic and scared, and the strong desire for survival made him beg for his life regardless of his image.
The surrounding ministers. Looking at He Zhong and Lu Wen who were paralyzed on the ground, they suddenly understood that these Hu soldiers and horses who rushed into the palace were all the conspiracy of He Zhong and Lu Wen. and felt that the two should be cut with a thousand knives, especially the minister who was cut by the Hu people, and he was eager to eat the flesh of the two to relieve the hatred in his heart.
"Uncle Huang, what the hell is going on?" Emperor Sima Dan looked at He Zhong and Lu Wen beside him, and asked tremblingly.
At this time, Sima Dan's weak little heart had not completely calmed down, and his body was still trembling slightly.
Seeing Sima Dan's question, Hua An stepped forward. Pointing to He Zhong and Lu Wen, Zhengse said: "Emperor Qi, Wechen received news a few days ago, saying that someone wanted to take advantage of the emperor's birthday to launch a coup d'Γ©tat in the palace, Wechen still has not enough evidence, and I also hope that this person can stop the precipice and stop the conspiracy in time." So no action was taken in time, only some precautions were taken. Unexpectedly, it still happened, and they were the masterminds, and the ministers implored the emperor to punish them with death. β
When Sima Dan heard this, he was shocked. looked at He Zhong and Lu Wen in disbelief, and was speechless for a long time.
"Emperor Qi, He Miao tried to escape, but he has been corrected on the spot by the last general." Chu Jian, the leader of the first battalion of Wuyi, was carrying a human head. Strode towards Sima Dan and saluted with his fists folded.
Seeing this, Hua An smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and asked sharply: "General Chu, you are responsible for guarding the harem, how did the Hu soldiers and horses enter the palace, why don't you intercept it, you can explain it to the emperor yourself!" β
Chu Jian took out a gold medal, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Back to the emperor, this army of soldiers and horses was introduced into the palace by He Miao, he has the emperor's gold medal in his hand, Weichen didn't dare to stop it, but he didn't expect that this group of soldiers and horses would be unfavorable to the emperor, Weichen is guilty, please punish the emperor." After speaking, he knelt in front of Sima Dan.
"Uncle Guo, you, why did you do this, you ......" Sima Dan's chest rose and fell violently, and he questioned He Zhong sternly.
He Zhong said bitterly, with tears in the corners of his eyes, but he just repeated a sentence, the emperor, everything Weichen did was for the emperor! It's all for the emperor!
"Your Majesty, Uncle He Guoshu colluded with the Hu people and conspired a coup d'Γ©tat, and he should be sentenced to capital punishment to correct the dynasty." A minister clenched his fists loudly.
"Your Majesty, Uncle He Guoshu conspiracy coup d'Γ©tat and must be executed."
"Please ask the emperor to execute He Zhong Luwen and the conspirators."
All the ministers demanded that He Zhong and the others be punished for their crimes.
Although Sima Dan doesn't like He Zhong, but He Zhong is Queen He's uncle after all, if He Zhong is executed, Queen He will be very sad, for this reason, he is very reluctant to execute He Zhong, but all the ministers asked him to execute He Zhong, for this reason, he can't make the ministers disobey with his own selfishness.
"What does Uncle Huang think should be done?" Sima Dan looked at Hua An blankly and asked softly.
Hua An smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, and said with a straight face: "Back to the emperor, those who conspire to cause trouble, should be connected to the nine clans, and set an example." β
"What, Zhulian Nine Clans." When Sima Dan heard this, he was stunned, if according to the Zhulian Nine Clans, his queen He Fani was also among the people who were killed, this was his beloved wife! If he wanted to kill He Fani, he was 10,000 unwilling.
"That's right, when the nine clans are connected, to set an example." A minister who was good friends with Hua'an chimed in.
Sima Dan looked at Hua An and the ministers nervously, and said softly: "Uncle Guo was confused for a while, and what he committed was a crime of one person, so why should he implicate the nine clans?" It's better to kill Uncle Guo alone, what do you think? β
"Your Majesty, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and now Uncle Guo has committed the great crime of the nine clans, and the emperor wants to exonerate him, so how can he block the mouth of the people of the world, and implore the emperor to kill the nine clans of He Zhong, so as to set an example and warn future generations." A minister said with his fists clenched.
"Your Majesty, not killing He Zhong is not enough to comfort the ministers who died tonight, nor is it enough to correct the law of the country, and please make up your mind not to chill the hearts of the people in the world." Another minister said loudly.
Obviously, these two ministers are Hua'an's henchmen, and from the time Hua'an raised the charge that He Zhong was the Nine Clans of Zhulian, they understood Hua'an's intentions, and immediately began to press Sima Dan step by step, so that Sima Dan ordered the killing of He Zhong's Nine Clans.
Seeing that the ministers forced him to join the nine clans of He Zhong, Sima Dan felt dizzy in his mind, he didn't want to lose his queen, so he refused to give an order.
"The emperor must not protect the traitor, and must immediately kill the mastermind He Zhong Jiu. Lu Wenyinjian and other coerced subordinates also had to connect the three clans to correct the law of the country. Another minister voiced his position.
"I'm dizzy, the Qing family let me be quiet, let me be quiet." Sima Dan's face was painful and extremely weak.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's ......" was dizzy just now. Sima Dan fell.
Fortunately, several courtiers who were close to Sima Dan supported Sima Dan in time, and they dared not imagine the consequences of being responsible.
"Imperial Doctor, Quickly Xuan Imperial Doctor......" Seeing that the emperor fainted, everyone immediately put aside the question of He Zhong and began to care about Sima Dan's body.
"Your Majesty, what should I do now?" One of his henchmen looked at Hua'an and asked softly.
Hua An Zhengse said: "Arrest He Zhong and his accomplices all in prison." In addition, the three clans of He Zhongjiu, Lu Wen and other coerced subordinates were also arrested and put in prison together, waiting to be released. β
"Yes, Your Majesty." The henchmen received the order and immediately went to prepare.
It was already late, and the ministers of the court dispersed one after another after discussing with Hua'an, but Hua'an issued many orders one after another. Let the soldiers and horses under his command attack in multiple ways and go to all the strongholds of the six major forces that have been mastered. In order to capture all the remaining people, and then return to the North Palace with confidence.
In the direction of the east gate of Luoyang City, Yin Jian was anxiously waiting, two thousand Hu soldiers and horses had entered the city for a long time, according to the predetermined plan. At this moment, these Hu soldiers and horses should have been successful, and after they succeeded, they should immediately evacuate Luoyang City according to the plan, but. It was very strange to him that after all this time had passed, not a single Hu soldier had returned.
In order to completely annihilate this group of Hu soldiers and horses in one fell swoop, he has deployed all the soldiers and horses under his command on the city wall of the urn city, and closed the outer city gate, as long as all the Hu soldiers and horses enter the urn city, he will definitely be able to easily annihilate this group of Hu soldiers and horses.
"It's been so long and there has been no news, is the operation a failure?" Yin Jian suddenly became nervous, but soon he felt that this group of Hu people was attracted by the magnificence of the palace, and after the successful operation, they were looting the treasures of the palace, after all, he still knew the nature of these Hu people very well.
"Camp master, look, there's a guy running over." A sharp-eyed soldier pointed to the black dot that was running and said excitedly.
"How can you be alone?" Yin Jian said suspiciously.
Soon, this figure became bigger and bigger, and appeared below the city gate, Yin Jian recognized it, this was Zhou Meng, the team under He Zhong's command, but at this time, Zhou Meng was wearing the clothes of the palace handyman, and he looked very anxious.
Seeing Zhou Meng like this, Yin Jian suddenly had a very bad feeling in his heart, and immediately ran down from the city gate tower and met Zhou Meng at the stairs.
"Team Zhou, why are you dressed up like this, what's wrong?" Seeing Zhou Meng, Yin Jian hurriedly asked.
Zhou Meng gasped and said, "Oh no, something happened, Captain Yin, let's run for our lives!" After speaking, he excitedly pulled Yin Jian's arm.
When Yin Jian heard this, he was suddenly like a bolt from the blue, and hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on, our plan is seamless, how can it fail?" β
Obviously, Yin Jian was very confident in the plan of action that he and He Zhong and the others had specified, and felt that this plan was so secret that it should not be discovered.
Zhou Meng sighed, and said: "Captain Yin, the North King has long known our plan, and now in the palace, there are at least more than 10,000 elite soldiers under the command of the North King, and the two thousand Hu soldiers and horses have already been firmly surrounded, at this moment, I am afraid that this group of Hu people has been wiped out, I am a handyman who transported swill, and escaped by pushing the swill cart, quickly, it will be too late if you don't leave, let's go!" After speaking, he pulled Yin Jian's arm.
Obviously, the city gate has been closed by Yin Jian at this moment, if Yin Jian refuses to escape, Zhou Meng has no way to escape, after all, the city wall is too high, and there are many soldiers and horses patrolling back and forth, he can't cross it no matter what.
"Captain Yin, the army under the command of the Northern King has been killed, and it will be too late if you don't leave." Zhou Meng pointed to the dense black dots that were rushing and said loudly.
Yin Jian looked up, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, five hundred steps away, a large number of black spots were rapidly coming, through the light of the street lights on the road, he could judge that this was the elite soldiers and horses under the command of Hua An.
At this time, Yin Jian was completely desperate, he knew that what Zhou Meng said was all the truth, at this moment, it was really too late not to leave, but even if they escaped, how could they easily escape, in addition, they might still be able to escape, but their families were in Luoyang City, and they couldn't escape no matter what.
"Open the gates, open the gates." In the end, Yin Jian still felt that it was most important to save his life first, so he ordered the city gate to be opened.
"Team Zhou is getting on the horse, and the pro-soldier team is immediately on the horse, quickly." Yin Jian shouted loudly, and stepped on the war horse first.
......With the sound of a heavy door shaft, the east gate of Luoyang City slowly opened, and Yin Jian and Zhou Meng, leading a hundred cavalry of the pro-army team, quickly fled outside the city.
"Listen to the soldiers on the city walls, stop the rebels for me, stop the rebels." When Yin Jian was leaving, he gave the soldiers under his command on the wall of the city of Wengcheng an order to fight.
The soldiers and horses that were rushing were the three thousand elite troops under the command of Hua'an, they were ordered to come to capture Yin Jian, and when they saw that Yin Jian had already fled on horseback, they immediately launched a pursuit and rushed into the urn city.
"Whoosh...... a rain of arrows suddenly shot down from the wall of the urn city, and shot more than ten cavalry who rushed to the front, and the soldiers behind saw that there was an ambush on the wall of the urn city. Immediately Le Ma stopped.
A general looked at the wall of the urn city and shouted loudly: "Brothers of the Wuyi Battalion, Yin Jian is plotting to rebel, and it has nothing to do with you, you should immediately lay down your weapons, otherwise, you will be complicit in rebellion, do you understand?" βγ
The soldiers on the city wall, seeing that the Lord would Yin Jian flee, had no intention of fighting, and when they heard that Yin Jian was plotting to rebel, they were all taken aback, and obediently put down their weapons.
Subsequently, the soldiers of the 900 Wuyi battalion walked down from the city wall and went to the camp to assemble and wait for the arrangements of the imperial court, while the generals under the command of Hua'an led the 3,000 soldiers and horses under his command to chase out of the city, preparing to arrest the escaped Yin Jian.
After Yin Jian and Zhou Meng ran out of Luoyang City for more than ten miles, they stopped their horses, at this moment, although they fled from Luoyang City, but although the world is big, where is their place? They were momentarily confused.
"Team Zhou, where should we flee to?" Yin Jian said confusedly.
At this moment, he regretted it very much in his heart, and felt that he should not confront Hua'an because of a momentary anger, otherwise, he would not have fallen into such a field.
Zhou Meng sighed and said, "Captain Yin, we have no other way out except for the north." β
"You mean to go to Yan Kingdom?" Yin Jian asked in a low voice.
"Exactly." Zhou Meng responded.
"Okay, then go to Yan Country for refuge." Yin Jian hurriedly agreed, and rode his horse in the direction of due north.
