Chapter 583: When the Bell Rings
Wu Youren originally wanted to ring Jingyang Bell, but it was a play, and it was performed for others to see, showing how loyal he was to the second prince, but the eldest princess let him in, and he wrote an edict for the eldest princess.
But now he found out that the eldest princess was not a good object to take refuge in, in order to show his disdain for His Royal Highness who was daydreaming of the empress, then he was going to ring the Jingyang bell again, he planned to run, run away after knocking, hide first to avoid the limelight, and wait to see who became the winner in the end, then he went out to take refuge.
Anyway, there is the "credit" of ringing the Jingyang bell to warn, and even if the victor does not regard him as his own, he will never embarrass him.
Running all the way, Wu Youren ran to Jingyang Bell, Jingyang Bell is a great thing, unless there is a big event, otherwise this bell will not be ringed, generally speaking, Jingyang Bell rings, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, there is one count, all have to enter the palace to face the saint, than the people who will come to the court.
The soldiers guarding Jingyang Zhong saw Wu Youren coming, running sweating profusely, and the soldiers couldn't help but be surprised, they were all the subordinates of the eldest princess, and they were guarding Jingyang Zhong here, just to prevent some ministers from hitting the bell.
The two soldiers drew their swords to meet them, and said loudly: "Wu Shangshu stops, this is a heavy place, no one can approach without the order of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!" ”
Wu Youren stopped, took a few breaths, and said, "It was Her Royal Highness the eldest princess who asked the official to come, and Yang Ze led the troops into the city......
The soldiers pouted together, so what can it be, whether Yang Ze brings troops into the city or not, what is the matter with Guan Jingyang Zhong, Yang Ze will definitely not come to Jingyang Zhong, and who knows if Yang Ze led troops into the city, whether this news is true or false.
Wu Youren continued: "The king of Linzi led his troops to resist Yang Ze......
The soldiers frowned together, why did this Wu Shangshu speak out of tune, what did the king of Linzi do with his troops, and what did it have to do with Jingyang Zhong. What the hell is he here for?
Wu Youren showed an excited expression and said: "The emperor has decided to pass on the throne to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and Her Royal Highness is about to ascend the throne. Don't get in my way! ”
The soldiers were taken aback, none of them thought that the eldest princess would ascend the throne so soon, and they thought that after a struggle for power, maybe they would have to kill a river of blood, no one thought that Empress Dugu would actually pass on the throne to the eldest princess, so why did Empress Dugu not die at this time?
The soldiers were suspicious, but they no longer stopped Wu Youren. After all, Wu Youren brought good news, but they still couldn't fully believe that this second prince's hardcore had turned to the eldest princess. This is too shameless, as soon as the second prince died, he changed his master, and there was no literati style at all. This is a completely stinky and shameless guy!
Jingyang Bell is not so easy to ring, it is no problem to knock, but it can be knocked very loudly. It's not easy to let the whole city hear it, not only to have skills, but also to have strength!
Wu Youren stepped forward and knocked twice, and found that the bell hammer was not very easy to fiddle with, and he didn't have the ability to knock it everywhere, so he said: "You came to knock, but you knocked it under the order of this official, and this credit cannot be separated from the hands of this official!" Well, you knock first, I'm going to guard the palace gate, so that the ministers who come to the court meeting can see this official, this official is the first minister of the new dynasty, and no one can replace it! ”
After saying that, he ran away again, and it seemed that he had indeed run towards the gate of the palace!
Soldiers, look at me, I look at you, everyone despises him, this Wu Youren is really a stinky and shameless person, he has read so many books, but he is still so shameless, he wants to be promoted crazy, he is mentally disordered, and he still wants to be the first minister of the new dynasty, so he is also worthy?
However, looking at Wu Youren's appearance, what should be said will not be false, the soldiers also want to make meritorious contributions, and being sent here to guard the broken bell is enough to be aggrieved, if they don't knock this broken seat well, they will be sorry for their errand!
Several soldiers stepped forward together, waved the bell hammer, and rang the Jingyang bell with a bang, and the bell rang loudly and spread all over Chang'an!
The eldest princess in the hall suddenly heard the bell, was stunned for a moment, and then immediately identified the direction from the bell, isn't this the direction of Jingyang Bell, who rang Jingyang Bell?
Li Zhenglong, who came down from the Xuanwu Gate and led the troops to make a detour to block Yang Ze, also heard it, he was in a hurry, the Jingyang bell rang, did the emperor's grandmother die? If it's not such a big event, then why ring the Jingyang bell?
The generals behind him also heard it, at this time there is only the eldest princess in the palace, so once the Dugu Empress dies, isn't it equivalent to saying that the eldest princess is certain to ascend the throne, the so-called one person has the Tao, the chicken dog ascends to heaven, these little soldiers may also be able to get some benefits, if they make some more contributions, then maybe they can be promoted to a general or something!
Several Lang generals who led the troops looked at Li Zhenglong, the king of Linzi in front, now Li Zhenglong is a threat to the eldest princess, this person is sparing no effort to fight for the throne for the king, if this threat is removed, the eldest princess will definitely be rewarded!
A few Lang generals gritted their teeth and pulled out the knife in the back, planning to give Li Zhenglong a ruthless blow, the crime of killing the county king is a bit big, but who made this county king the enemy of the next empress, it is better to say that he met Yang Ze, and as a result, under a battle, Li Zhenglong died and fought chaotically, and Yang Ze was responsible for the crime, and the credit was left to them.
Li Zhenglong is extremely shrewd, after he heard the Jingyang bell, although he was very anxious, but he also knew that those soldiers behind him might want to do something to him, but they were not his people, his people were waiting in a lane in the east, waiting to be dispatched at any time, but if he didn't go over, then his people couldn't be dispatched!
Li Zhenglong suddenly turned around and said: "You wait here, this king will enter the palace again, if my aunt needs help, then this king will give full support." Well, you don't know yet, my aunt has no queen, and she said that she would make me the prince! ”
The generals are all stunned, and the eldest prince wants to appoint Li Zhenglong as the crown prince? I've never heard of this news, but if Li Zhenglong enters the palace alone, it doesn't matter, now the palace is full of imperial guards, and they are all the people of the eldest princess, can Li Zhenglong break the sky alone?
Just stunned like this, the momentum disappeared, and the generals hesitated and did not dare to move. But Li Zhenglong let his horse gallop and ran towards the main gate of the palace, but after turning the corner, he turned to the east again, and he didn't really want to enter the palace.
At this time, the generals all reacted, this is fooled, Li Zhenglong is not going to enter the palace, but to move the rescue soldiers, I heard that he can raise a lot of dead soldiers, isn't this equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain. Immediately let the horse run and chased after him from behind.
Li Zhenglong ran to the east of Lifang, but found that most of his dead soldiers were not here, leaving only a team of dead soldiers, and most of the dead soldiers did not know where they went!
Far away, Li Zhenglong shouted: "What about people, what about our people? "The situation is urgent, the pursuers are behind, and he is in danger of being caught up at any time. Helpers are urgently needed, but what about his dead soldiers? has been raised for so long, but he is not there at the critical moment, can this not make him anxious!
The group of dead soldiers who stayed behind saw Li Zhenglong running over. There were still pursuers behind, and they immediately understood what was going on, and urged the horses to meet them, and the leading dead soldier shouted, "Lord Wang." Our people went back to the palace to support, and some of them went to the Xiangwang Mansion, and I heard that Yang Ze went crazy. Set fires everywhere and burn down your palace! ”
Li Zhenglong shouted, he didn't expect Yang Ze to set fires everywhere, but what was there to burn in his palace? Isn't this a waste of time, if you have time and troops, you should immediately enter the palace to grab the throne, it's useless to set fire to the house to vent your anger!
He said angrily: "That palace is just a mansion, what if it is burned down, why do you have to send people back, as a result, there are fewer people here, and it is too late for this king to transfer troops!" ”
The leading dead soldier didn't have time to confess, because the chasing soldiers behind him came up, and he took the dead soldiers to attack without hesitation and saved Li Zhenglong, anyway, let Li Zhenglong raise for so long, raise soldiers for a thousand days for a while, and now don't have the strength to die, isn't it sorry for Li Zhenglong.
As soon as the Chang'an soldiers brought by the dead soldiers and the Lang generals fought, they were splashed with sparks, and the Chang'an soldiers relied on the strength of martial arts, as well as the ruthlessness of not being afraid of death, the two armies fought, but after a moment's effort, the corpses were strewn on the streets, and a large number of people died.
Li Zhenglong didn't have a sense of righteousness, he didn't have the idea that everyone wanted to live together, and die together, what did he do with the dead soldiers, didn't he just let the dead die for him, taking advantage of the brawl to fight, he would have already beaten his horse and ran away, not to go back to his palace, but to rush to the palace of the prince to see his father.
It is estimated that the imperial grandmother is dead, so the eldest princess occupies the palace, presumably the edict of the throne has been written, if he does not move out of his father at this time, then the throne will really be gone, and he also believes that his dead man saw Yang Ze set fire, if the fire could not be controlled, it would definitely move the troops to the prince's mansion, and from there he could still gather a certain number of troops.
But why did Yang Ze set fires everywhere, was he crazy? Don't you have a clear mind and can't even tell the priorities?
At this time, Yang Ze and his army had already burned the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and even the Linzi Palace's Mansion was lit, and he led an army of thousands of people, all of whom were wolf-like Bohai warriors, not to mention burning two mansions, even ten places were also burned to the point of black smoke.
At this time, the sky is already bright, but there are no people on the streets of Chang'an, there is such a chaotic law in Beijing, how dare the people go out, they all hide at home and pray, hoping that the turmoil will pass quickly, and those soldiers who are running around on the street, don't take advantage of the fire to rob and rob the people, that is really a military disaster!
After burning the Linzi Palace, Yang Ze led people to run to the Xiangwang Mansion immediately, and the Bohai warriors who were exploring the way in front ran back and shouted: "General, the people who blocked us in the Linzi Wangfu just now also ran in the direction of the Xiangwang Mansion, it is estimated that we are also going over, so do we still want to go to the Xiangwang Palace?" ”
Yang Ze smiled: "Why don't you go, of course you have to go!" ”
Suddenly, he heard a bell from the palace, was it the sound of Jingyang Bell? He turned around and asked Caicai, who was following him, and said, "Jingyang Zhong is over there, right?" ”
When she turned around, she found that Caicai's face was full of tears, and the little girl choked up and said, "Yes, it's Jingyang Zhong, the imperial grandmother, is she dead?" After saying a word, the little girl burst into tears! (To be continued......)
