The most unlucky crossing in history

After the general finished speaking, the surrounding ministers who were still in the palace looked panic-stricken, only to hear Zhongshu Sheng's servant frowned and said: "I'm afraid the plot was exposed and let Wei Hechao know about it. He locked the imperial army outside the city, so we won't be able to catch a surprise..."

Linghu Qing thought for a while after hearing the words, and said: "Speaking of it, he looks like a suspicious person like Wei Hechao. He has been planning for so many years, how can he allow a slight mistake, Zhou Xian, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, disappears out of thin air, no matter how impatient he is, that's okay." There has to be a strategy."

After Linghuqing finished speaking, Xie Wenyuan nodded slightly and said: "Earlier, when I was discussing with the new monarch, I expected this. Wei Hechao was originally cautious, and he must be even more cautious at this time. I don't care about Min Zhitong. Whether he really rebelled or not, it is impossible for him to believe him, and it is inevitable to keep the army outside the city. As for why he did this at this moment, it is just to make us take it lightly."

Hearing this, the ministers seemed relieved, but thinking that Wei Hechao had already led the troops to attack the south of the imperial city, I'm afraid...

"Even so, Wei Hechao has now reached the gate of the imperial city, and the forbidden army is trapped outside Jingzhao City, and they can't even get in. I'm afraid,,,,,,"

Feng Ping, Minister of the Household Department, said: "Master Lu, just think about it, there are more than [-] forbidden troops outside the imperial city? Last night, the new emperor ordered the remaining [-] forbidden troops to wait for an opportunity. Wei Hechao now only has [-] guards. Invading the city, even counting the Uighurs, there were no more than [-] people. Wei Hechao thought he was the oriole catching cicadas, but how could he know that he was the turtle in the urn? I am afraid that the [-] forbidden troops are already attacking the city in the north of Jingzhao City. Thinking about it, I'm afraid that before Wei Hechao captured the imperial city, the [-] imperial troops would catch him by surprise."

After finishing Feng Ping's words, Linghu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, frowned. The current schemes and schemes are all planned by the Crown Prince, Xie Wenyuan, and He Qinyan, the subordinate province. They didn't reveal a thing or two before, but now I can hear it Although it is safe, but he has worked with Wei Hechao for many years, and he also understands that this person has deep thoughts. I am afraid that he has already thought of these things and left behind. Thinking of this, he cupped his hands to Tan Yuanyong and said: "I think, Wei Hechao might not be able to fall for it that easily. This person is suspicious but also good at strategy. He has planned for too long the matter of killing the king and seizing power. .”

Tan Yuanyong said with a smile: "Linghu Shangshu is right, I have never discovered that he actually

As early as Xunyang City stationed tens of thousands of troops, he had already planned his way out when he came here, and this was only detected by his hidden guards not long ago. "

"Tens of thousands of people in Xunyang City?! This..." Some elderly ministers were almost at a loss for words.

Wei Hechao's actions must be for the purpose of holding the imperial city hostage at any time, and the second is probably to connect his forces in the two lakes and intercept the forces in the southwest and southeast of Xie Wenyuan.

If so...

Thinking of this, Linghu glanced at Tan Yuanyong again, and then slowly said: "However, since the new king has discovered his deeds a long time ago, he must have a countermeasure."

Tan Yuanyong nodded, "A few days ago, relying on the news of the war and the delivery of grain and rice to the two lakes, the Yanbei Army was sent to Shangluo with the help of Zhong Qiyun from the Zhong family."

The ministers in the hall were startled when they heard the sound. They had heard about Zhong Qiyun's rapid fortune as a businessman in recent years, and they even lamented that this man was young but capable, but they never knew when he had a relationship with him. Xinjun hit the line.

However, if it is true as Tan Yuanyong said, the Zhong family can cover up and transfer Yanbei soldiers...Shangluo...

The ugly-looking people in the hall were relieved a little. If they could really send Yanbei soldiers to Shangluo without anyone noticing, it would be choking Wei Hechao's throat!

As if to reassure those adults, within half an hour, the guarding general rushed over again and reported: "Your Highness, Wei Hechao has sent [-] guards to the north of the city to resist the imperial army! The south side of the imperial city is temporarily defended! "

As soon as these words came out, the few people who were worried just now were relieved.

Although Linghu Qing was Tan Yuanyong's confidant, he had not participated in the planning before, and he felt something was wrong in his heart, and seeing a meaningful smile on Xie Wenyuan's face, he frowned slightly, based on his understanding of Xie Wenyuan, I'm afraid Xie Wenyuan must have something else that he didn't mention, thinking of the current situation, he wanted to take a step forward and ask again, but Linghu standing beside him took his hand without a trace, signaling him not to say more.

Seeing his father like this, Linghu moved his eyes and stopped asking any more questions.

At three o'clock in the unitary hour, the sun sets on the western mountain.

It was meal time, but no one in the palace had the appetite to eat the food. The time dragged on for a long time, and the sound of beating and killing on the outer wall of the palace never stopped. There are always some timid and cowardly people in the deep palace cry.

Tan Yuanyong was irritated when he heard this, so he punished some people, and the rest didn't dare to cry anymore, but the gloomy expression on his face was annoying to see.

Everyone knows what happened

Said, it's all just a gamble, Wei Hechao has been saving for many years, and this time the menace comes, even if he has planned ahead, no one knows if the ambitious man who has been in power for many years will make any dangerous moves.

The longer the time, the more panicked people became before the imperial guards entered the city.

When the sun was setting on the western mountain, when the sky was completely dark, they heard the loud shouts from outside the imperial city, and even saw the flags of the imperial guards holding high, the hearts of everyone who had already walked outside the main hall were overjoyed.

"This is the Imperial Guard!"

"Win? Is this a win?!"

"God bless me Chao! God bless me Daqin!"

At the same time, General Kou, who was guarding the North City, quickly walked up to Tan Yuanyong and knelt down on one knee, saying happily: "Your Highness, the imperial guards have arrived in time and defeated the Wei Hechao faction! At this moment, General Min Zhitong is about to Lead the army in pursuit of the remnants!"

Several ministers almost wept with joy when they heard the words.

Xie Wenyuan didn't speak, but there was a smile on the corner of his lips, obviously he was in a good mood. After General Kou reported all the situation, he carefully looked at Kou Weishi in front of him, smiled, and then bowed his head Facing Tan Yuanyong, he said slowly: "Although Min Zhitong is young, he is an excellent leader."

Tan Yuanyong and Xie Wenyuan looked at each other, and replied with a smile: "Yes, after all, although Wei Hechao has deep thoughts and strategies, he has been planning for so many years and waited too long. That's why he is so eager The more anxious you are, the easier it is to make mistakes, and Wei Hechao underestimated Gu too much, so he made big mistakes."

After hearing this, the ministers in the pavilion were all overjoyed, quickly lifted the hem of their clothes, knelt down on the ground, and shouted in unison: "Long live the new king, benevolence and virtue."

However, before I finished speaking, Kou Weishi, who was kneeling on one knee just now, suddenly exploded, and rushed towards Tan Yuanyong with a knife in hand. This change was too sudden, even if the guards on Tan Yuanyong's side saw In a hurry, he pulled Tan Yuanyong behind him and pulled him to the side. Tan Yuanyong was still stabbed on his arm. Tan Yuanyong couldn't help but let out a cry of pain, but the blood on his arm had already soaked his sleeves and turned red. clothes.

All the ministers were terrified, even Xie Wenyuan's expression changed, he said urgently: "Guard—!"

But how did he know that only half of the hundreds of guards who were originally protecting him moved in response to the sound, while the other half surrounded everyone around the pavilion.

The ministers in the hall all looked terrified, "What, what's going on? Why, why..."

Xie Wenyuan frowned, pulled out his sword from his waist to protect it in front of him

, without saying a word.

However, before they could guess any more, bursts of laughter sounded not far away.Hearing this laughter, everyone on the field turned pale and stared blankly.

I saw the gray-haired man approaching step by step like a deadly ghost. The closer he got, the more despondent and desperate the people in the field became.

The person who came was none other than Wei Hechao who had just been told that he had been defeated.

Wei Hechao passed the guards and walked in front of the people, looked at the ugly Xie Wenyuan, then at Tan Yuanyong, who was covering his arm with a pale face, and said with a smile: "Are you still wondering why the imperial army didn't kill us?" ?”

After he finished speaking, he saw Xie Wenyuan frowned, thinking that the Southwest matter had been defeated by Xie Wenyuan before, Wei Hechao couldn't help laughing again, "After all, I'm still a kid, so I can't count the intrigue .Thinking that you just happened to win, so you dare to challenge this old man? Hmph, what a joke!"

Xie Wenyuan clenched his teeth, and his fists seemed to be clenched tightly.

Wei Hechao was even more delighted to see him, "Emperor Feng Zheng has been using it for decades, but he can't touch me at all, you..." He also looked at Tan Yuanyong as he said, "You, what else is there?" You guys, do you think this can bring me down?"

As he spoke, he took two steps, shaking his head and laughing as he walked, as if he was laughing at Xie Wenyuan and others' overreaching, but also seemed to be enjoying the country that was about to come.

Xie Wenyuan bowed his head and took a deep breath, only to hear him say angrily, "Why!"

"Why?" Wei Hechao raised his eyes and said, "Do you think I don't know that you secretly coerced Min Zhitong and caught me off guard by letting him rebel before the battle? Although you guessed that I would definitely not believe him, but you have no idea......"

Wei Hechao squinted his eyes and smiled, and the wrinkles on his face deepened, "Min Zhitong, it shouldn't be said that the [-] imperial guards never betrayed me from the beginning to the end, even the old man has already guessed that this day will come, Let them play a show with you in advance."

When Wei Hechao said this, seeing Xie Wenyuan looking up in disbelief, he slowly walked up to Xie Wenyuan, and he was never afraid of the guards who were staring at him. In his opinion, it was nothing more than a group of trapped animals.In this way, he raised his hand and patted Xie Wenyuan's head, sneering: "Xie Wenyuan, Xie Wenyuan, it's 20 years too early for you to fight with me."

After finishing speaking, seeing Xie Wenyuan raised his sword and was about to kill him, he signaled the guards around him to surround him, and the sword pointed directly at Xie Wenyuan, forcing Xie Wenyuan to take no further step forward.

Look at the group of people in front of me who are all haters

Don't wait for an opportunity to kill him to vent your hatred, Wei Hechao is not annoyed, just said: "I will let you all understand now."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "In the final analysis, you still don't understand people's hearts. Do you think that you can force the army to rebel with just one life and death? Hmph, you still don't know, these rough people are most afraid of What, what do you like the most. To win people’s hearts, you don’t just rely on your passion. The temptation of power is rotten, but it’s also eternal.” Wei He glanced at the group of people who followed Xie Wenyuan, like a joke, thank you Wen Yuan's way of attracting people is general, and he said straightly: "Anyone has a desire in his heart, and he can never get away from it by following what he likes. If he pinches his lifeblood, he can give up his life and dare not move. You just hold it." Min Zhitong, but he didn't know that I gave him the power he wanted most, and controlled his whole family. I knew from the beginning that he would not betray, nor did he dare to betray."

Xie Wenyuan frowned and didn't speak, but it was Linghuqing who asked again, "Then why did you leave it outside Jingzhao?"

Wei Hechao smiled when he heard the words: "Since you know that the old man is suspicious, then of course the old man should put on a show."

"Are you trying to make us take it lightly?!"

"The boy from the Linghu family is not really stupid." After speaking, Wei Hechao glanced at Linghu Ze, and said again: "It's a pity that I followed the wrong master."

"Since that's the case, are you deliberately letting the [-] troops block the other [-] forbidden troops outside the city?"

Hearing this, Wei Hechao seemed to have heard something ridiculous, and said, "Do you think the old man has served the court for decades, and he doesn't even have the ability to win over [-] imperial troops?"

When the people in the field heard it, their faces turned ashen. What Wei Hechao meant was that the [-] troops had changed their surnames... so that means that all the people in Jingzhao City except the Weicheng Army were from Wei Hechao ?Originally, I thought about delaying it for another hour and a half, until the Yanbei army, the southeast, and the southwest armies converge... I'm afraid I can't wait... Could it be that there is really no chance of winning. .....

Wei Hechao glanced at the people in front of him, and saw that some people just frowned, but they didn't completely lose business. He twirled his white beard and said, "Are you waiting for the Yanbei Army to kill you?"

Upon hearing this, Tan Yuanyong and the others looked up at Wei Hechao in surprise, "You..."

"I have to say, if it weren't for me, maybe this time you really got your way, through natural disasters, through the excuse of transporting rice, through the news that the people in the north heard about the war and fled.

At the critical moment, let the Zhong family transfer the army without anyone noticing. "

"If it wasn't for the Xunyang government office to report that day, the old man would have almost ignored the Zhong family."

Wei Hechao never lied about these words. If he wanted to say Zhong Qiyun, he really looked down on him, but he was not afraid of a bolder speculator, even the Pei family, not to mention that this fortune was only two years old. The young boy can't find anything.

That's why he didn't pay attention to it, not to mention that a few days ago, there was a rumor in Jingzhao City that the owner of the Zhong family was fighting with Xie Wenyuan for Chu Changyi of Chulou, and he even looked down on it this kid.Although he can't see Xie Wenyuan, but Xie Wenyuan is still the Minister of the court, such a high-ranking official, Zhong Qiyun, doesn't try to curry favor, instead, he quarrels with her in public because of a woman, thinking about it, he is proud of himself for two years. How many people weigh two.

If it hadn’t been for the Xunyang Government’s order to report that day, when all the merchants were too late to avoid the Jingzhao, and the Zhong family boy tried every means to go north, he would not have kept an eye out for people to investigate secretly, nor would he have discovered such a situation .

It can be considered that God has helped Wei Cheng.

Wei Hechao laughed and said, "The Yanbei army and the Zhong family have already been trapped in the city by the old man, and they can't come to Jingzhao."

"So, what else do you want to ask?" Wei Hechao looked at the already desperate crowd and shook his head: "To play with you for such a game, and to make you happy, it is considered as humane as possible."

Speaking of this, Wei Hechao took a few steps back, turned around and stopped looking at these people who would not die in peace, and said to the people around him: "After all, it is the royal heirs and ministers of the previous dynasty, let them die with dignity."

After all, he walked towards the palace hall that he had longed for for many years without looking back.

Above the main hall, a five-clawed golden dragon hovered above the dome. Wei Hechao walked step by step to the place where he usually stood early. , engraved with the symbol of imperial power, inlaid with valuable treasures, black, that is the solemn color of the emperor, he has seen it for decades...

Outside the main hall, there was a loud scream of a dying person. It was horrifying, but Wei He smiled deeper and deeper. He raised his foot and stepped up the steps he had never stepped on step by step. s position.

When he reached the dragon chair, he turned around and sat down.

Who ascends to the throne without blood on his hands?Buddha said cause and effect

Retribution, talk about ghosts and hatred, but he Wei Hechao is not afraid at all, when he becomes the new emperor, when he comes to rule the world, it will be marked out with the admiration of all people.

The sound of beatings and killings outside the main hall stopped, and it seemed to have been resolved. Wei Hechao sat on the dragon chair and said loudly: "Come on! Clean up the palace compound tonight. emperor!"

After all, the sound of footsteps could be heard outside the hall, but after a while, Wei Hechao's overjoyed eyes gradually filled with astonishment.

The people who should have died were all standing in front of him intact at this moment. Although Tan Yuanyong was pale, he looked at him sitting on the throne with a smile and said, "Wei Wei The prime minister is sitting securely."

Wei Hechao suddenly looked at Xie Wenyuan beside Tan Yuanyong, but saw the smile in Xie Wenyuan's deep eyes.

He heard Xie Wenyuan say: "Just now, what Prime Minister Wei taught is absolutely correct, what you mean is that what people are most afraid of, you have to hold on to it..."

After he said this, Zhang Hong, who was wearing a military uniform outside, rushed to the hall and reported: "Your Highness, my lords, the Northwest Army has wiped out the leader of the rebel party!"

Wei Hechao's eyes were about to burst, Wei Hechao's mind was buzzing, the Northwest army... Xie family, Xie family! ! ! !

The voice of Xie Wenyuan in front drifted into his buzzing ears little by little.

"My lord may not have thought that from the very beginning, what Xie wants is not to play tricks with you."
