Dressed As the Deadly Opponent of the Male Protagonist of the Imperial Examination - Chapter 103
After entering the palace gates, Li Hui, the commander of the imperial army, led the imperial army to guard outside the main hall.
The steps were crowded with imperial troops.
Tang Hang had no intention of killing, let alone blood-staining the palace. Although the imperial army was rebellious, it was also done by the superiors. If these ordinary soldiers were killed, let alone ignoring the axioms, who would guard the imperial city after the matter was over?
Thinking of this, he made a gesture, Chi Yuan stepped forward and held up the decree again.
Chi Yuan will shout the words in front of the palace gate just now, again and again, with the aim of occupying the commanding heights of justice and dissolving the defenses of ordinary soldiers of the Forbidden Army.
Li Hui was anxious.
The message he sent out was not answered at all, and he could not receive further instructions from He Zhan. In the hall behind him were Concubine He and the little emperor, and he could only bite the bullet and stand outside.
“Don’t believe that Tang Hang is a rebel who killed the king and rebelled. The decree in his hand is forged! Your Majesty is in the palace, and his army enters the palace. The sword is pointed at your Majesty, which is treason!” Li Hui shouted.
Tang Hang was unwilling to show weakness: “Li Hui, the first emperor is so kind to you and trusts so much that he will hand over the imperial city to you to guard it. But he doesn’t want you to be so wolf-hearted, colluding with the courtiers and foreign ministers to murder the emperor.”
“Your Majesty is under house arrest now. Of course it is what you said. The decree of the Empress Dowager is true or false, and anyone with a discerning eye will know it. I advise you to confess your guilt as soon as possible, so as not to add to the offense!”
At this time, Li Hui couldn’t beat Tang Heng, and Tang Heng couldn’t do it first. It was up to whoever had the upper hand on his lips and could make himself more reasonable.
“Tang Hang, the first emperor asked you to lead your troops to counter the rebellion, but you turned back halfway and besieged the capital, intending to rebel! If you hadn’t been spotted, you would have succeeded! I defend your majesty, where your duty lies. I advise you to confess your guilt immediately and let your majesty spare your life. !” Li Hui continued to shout.
As soon as the voice fell, Tang Heng also immediately opened his mouth:
“Li Hui, you can slander me, but if you want to slander my Gyeonggi guards and slander my Dali Jiangnan army, it is unreasonable! My Jiangnan soldiers fought **** battles, died and wounded countless, how many people died in the river bottom, just for Stop the rebels from crossing the river and insult the people in Jiangbei?”
“How many poor people in the south of the Yangtze River are still committed to the first emperor in dire straits, and are loyal to help me put down the rebellion. You have embezzled military expenses and enjoyed your glory, so how come you face to slander the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country?”
Tang Hang pointed to the forbidden army and continued: “Now for your own selfishness, you let these brothers be deceived by you and sent to death for you, facing your fellow swordsmen! If they really died in battle tonight, they would only be killed in the end. Can be charged with a crime of treason. Their families will be implicated, and their children and grandchildren will not be able to lift their heads. But you will not lose anything!”
“Li Hui, your abacus is so good!”
This remark really came to the hearts of all the forbidden troops.
Who is rebelling, and where is it clear now? But Gyeonggiwei had been on the battlefield and had seen blood. Naturally, their imperial army was not an opponent. He died in the battle, but he still didn’t know who he was fighting for. The one who died was too wrong!
If Gyeonggi-Wei is really an anti-thief, his family will receive at most a lump sum pension after his death. If Gyeonggi Guard is not an anti-thief, he will have to bear the charge of anti-thief. No matter how you count it, it’s not worth it!
It was already bright, and most of the imperial army’s faces appeared hesitant.
Under this stalemate, suddenly, there was a sharp shout
“The Queen Mother is here!”
Li Hui’s heart shook.
Not far away, I saw the empress dowager slowly approaching, and the car curtain was lifted, revealing the fierce face of the empress dowager Zhao.
“He Guifei murdered the first emperor, He Zhan and others brought trouble to the court. As the lord of the harem, the Ai family has the right to deal with the rebels!”
“General Tang Heng sent the Ai family’s decree to enter the palace and kill the rebels. Li Hui, Ai family ordered you to hand over your Majesty and kneel down!”
As soon as the empress dowager came, Li Hui knew that everything was completely over.
He looked back at the closed door of the main hall. He Jiaxu gave him the glory and wealth, and now he has completely flown. In that case, what else is he struggling with?
With a “boom”, Li Hui knelt on his knees: “The Queen Mother is forgiving! The final general was also deceived by the Queen Mother and He Xiang, and the final will be wronged!”
As soon as this statement came out, He Zhan, He Guifei, and Zhao Ji’s crime of treason was directly confirmed.
Empress Dowager Zhao walked out, supported by the palace, and walked towards the main hall. Tang Heng followed behind him.
The main hall door opened, and everyone’s eyes widened.
On the beam column, Concubine He Gui hangs a white silk, her body is hard. The little emperor fell to the ground, looking straight at his mother, as if there was no life at all.
“Fei’er!” Empress Dowager Zhao exclaimed, and suddenly she took the little emperor into her arms, calling out her dear and dear grandson.
Tang Heng couldn’t bear to watch.
The ten-year-old child witnessed the suicide of his biological mother. I am afraid that he was frightened. But how true is this grandmother who is holding him?
He quietly withdrew from the main hall, and said to Zhou: “Go and pick up the adults into the palace.”
“Yes!”
When all the traces in the palace were cleaned up, the hundred officials trapped in the palace in the capital were allowed to go to court.
They walked into the Golden Palace tremblingly, and looked at their colleagues around them, their faces were blue and white.
Look at Huang Han, Liu Feng and others who have disappeared for a few days, but they suddenly appeared, and their hearts are even more bitter. In this dynasty, those who have the final say in the future are really going to change.
Finally, they boldly glanced at the dragon seat.
The stunned little emperor’s eyes were dull, and he didn’t know what he was thinking. Behind the dragon seat is a bead curtain, sitting inside is the empress dowager.
I don’t know how many thousands of times I passed by in my heart, the officials lifted their clothes and bowed down one after another.
“See the emperor, the empress dowager!”
“Long live the emperor! Long live the empress dowager!”
“Everyone is flat!” Empress Dowager Zhao’s old voice came from behind the curtain.
Standing next to the little emperor was the great **** Wei Jun. Li Chong next to the emperor was his master. When the He family poisoned the emperor, Wei Jun also killed Li Chong who was loyal to the emperor.
The reason why Wei Jun’s life is still retained is because he is not from the He family, but from the Zhao family. The little emperor had just lost his mother and relied on the more familiar Wei Jun.
In the eyes of the Empress Dowager Zhao, Wei Jun is a person who can take orders from himself and manipulate the little emperor.
Tang Hang and Pei Yunxiao reached a compromise with the Queen Mother on this matter.
The days are still long, but just a servant.
“If something happens, retreat if nothing happens.” Wei Jun shouted sharply.
The ministers who have lingering fears dared to play no matter what happened, all of them bowed like quails. These people are all the people left after the He and Zhao shuffled the court. Either he is the supporter of the Zhao family, or he is neutral and not standing in line, or he is a bit of a wall.
Those loyal ministers who had real talents and learning have long since ceased.
“Your Majesty!” Tang Hang took a step.
The little emperor shook his body and was startled by his voice. He looked at the man in the armor of the military officer with a little fear.
In his view at this time, people who dress like this will kill people.
“He Zhan, Zhao Ji, Li Hui and other conspirators and their relatives are being guarded in the mansion, please make your decision!” Tang Hang said.
The little emperor remembered what these people had taught him to say before, and opened his mouth and said in an immature voice: “These people have murdered my father, and they are also holding me hostage. The sins are extremely evil. According to the law, they should be copied all over the house. !”
“Your Majesty!” Pei Yunxiao immediately went out.
The little emperor looked at her.
Murong Fei knew that this Master Pei had always been a person valued by his father, and the two had also met in the palace. Master Pei speaks softly, looks elegant and handsome, Murong Fei always feels close to her.
Now that Pei Yunxiao spoke suddenly, he immediately forgot the fear he felt from Tang Heng and listened carefully to her speech.
“Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter should be rewarded and punished. Zhao Ji and his direct descendants are unforgivable for conspiracy. But the family minister Zhao, the family minister, did not participate in the conspiracy and should not be the same.”
The little emperor nodded subconsciously. These words, they were in the harem, they had discussed them early.
As soon as Pei Yunxiao’s voice fell, officials from Zhao Xizhe’s faction immediately said yes.
The little emperor said: “Pei Qing said that is very true, just do as you say.”
Pei Yunxiao backed away with satisfaction.
Subsequently, Pei Xian and Zhao Xizhe also stood up one after another.
The two said the same. Zhao Xizhe wanted to promote his own people, while Pei Xian mentioned that Pei Nao and others would no longer observe filial piety and return to the court.
This is not only an exchange between Pei Yunxiao and Tang Heng and the Empress Dowager Zhao, but also a strategy for the two to slow down.
If Pei Yunxiao wanted to solve the last obstacle before Tang Heng ascended the throne, he had to find a reason. Let Pei Nao and Zhao Xizhe taste the sweetness, so that there are mistakes to be caught.
And their condition is
“Your Majesty.” Huang Han held the wat board in his hand and walked out slowly: “He and Zhao are in trouble. The court has lost many wise ministers. The most important thing now is to remove He and Zhao Dangyu and find them as soon as possible. The right people take up their responsibilities and ensure the operation of the affairs of the DPRK.”
“The minister believes that the outstanding officials can be selected from among the officials with outstanding achievements in the local prefectures and counties, and they can be promoted exceptionally to cope with this special period.”
The little emperor can only agree, saying: “Master Huang is right. Please draw up a list of the selected people, and submit the Chinese letter. After I have reviewed it, I will do it!”
“Yes!”
Pei Yunxiao secretly exchanged glances with Tang Hang-Xie Ying, Shen Si Qi and the others, they can finally return to Beijing!
After the meeting retreated, the capital finally changed.
All those who are interested can see that the glory of the He family and the Zhao family have quietly gone, and now the power of the Central Government is divided into two ends.
At one end, there is a new family of newcomers. Headed by young children from a family such as Pei Yunxiao, Zhao Xizhe, Pei Xian, and Hua Ziyu. Behind them is a family of intertwined forces.
On the other side, there are the upstarts who have risen abruptly. The position of the military power headed by Tang Heng is unshakable, and in terms of culture and politics, the magistrates who are about to enter Beijing, and the poor students who had good friends with Tang Heng in the past are on the list. Everyone can see what they want.
And behind them, in addition to the children of a small family like Liu Baixiang, there are also people like Huang Han, Liu Feng, and Yang Jian. The forces should not be underestimated.
How to stand in the team and whose team to stand has become something that everyone in the capital has been thinking about for a period of time.
At first glance, the court has two factions, but when you look closely, there are more than two factions.
