The Submissive Emperor - Chapter 93

Chen Shichang never dreamed that Lou Jing would control the Jinzhou army. In recent years, Emperor Chunde weakened the power of the Lou family. Since the death of Old Anguo, Lou Jing has not been to Jinzhou. How did he gain such prestige in the army?

“Why is the son of the world here?” Chen Shichang was calm, “Since the Zhennan General has come, the old man is at ease. Now that Beijing is under martial law and the prince is in trouble, he must guard the capital to protect the monarch and also guard the house. people.”

Lou Jing raised his eyebrows, this old man, at this time, he did not forget to struggle to death. He deliberately said this, warning him that if he commits a disturbance, the Lou family in the capital will be the first to bear the brunt, so he said loudly: “My Lord Youxiang is right. , I will come to **** the driver, and please open the city gate quickly.”

The soldiers on the wall are unknown. So, looking at Lou Jing’s posture, it seems that he really came to help, so he asked You Xiang and said, “Master Chen, open the city gate?”

Chen Shichang was so angry that his eyes turned black, and he said with no anger, “What door to open? Didn’t you see that these were the courtiers and thieves?”

Naturally, the gate of the city cannot be opened. Chen Shichang found a clever civil official and wrangled with Lou Jing on the city wall, while sending people to Anguo Mansion to catch people quickly, he himself hurriedly left the gate.

The officials waiting for the downstairs saw that the complacent right-hand face was blue and white, and he was unsure, so he stepped forward and asked, “My lord, the Jinzhou army is here, the safety of the capital…”

“Quick!” Chen Shichang raised his head abruptly, his eyes showed a bit of madness, “Notify the soldiers outside the city, immediately dispatch, anyway, kill Lou Jing and take the military power!”

The Jinzhou army is brave and invincible. This was originally the trump card in the hands of the Chen family. Now it turned to deal with him and caught him off guard. The army of the King of Fujian was also coming, embarrassed on all sides. Chen Shichang realized that he was covered by the net of heaven and earth that Xiao Chengjun had arranged early, like a proud flying insect, hit the woven net and stuck to the center, just waiting for the terrifying hunter to come step by step. He killed them all.

The atmosphere in Beijing suddenly became tense after a large army besieged the city. The officers and soldiers of Kyoto Prefecture broke into the Anguo Government House and arrested all the people. The reason was that the son of Anguo rebelled.

Lou Jing did not order the siege, he was waiting. He was just a general, and his division was unknown. He only waited for You Xiang to mess up his position and force the palace in the city. When Xiao Chengjun’s army came, he would be able to justify King Qin’s rescue.

Moreover, the road went too smoothly. Based on the intuition developed on the battlefield, Lou Jing believed that the right phase must have some hole cards, otherwise he would not be so confident.

Lou Jianyu paled with fright. He was tied into a zongzi and brought to the tower. The civil official who negotiated with Lou Jing took out a decree and read aloud: “The son of Anguo, Lou Jing, conspired to rebel and ordered himself to be dismissed before the army… …”

The soldiers under the city were filled with righteous indignation, and Li Cheng shouted: “Nonsense, I will come to **** the driver, so why let the general dictate himself!”

“Persuade Shi Ziye to catch it with his hands, otherwise, wouldn’t it be a pity that he would link to the Nine Clan?” With that said, the sturdy Lou Jian Yu was tied to the city wall by hemp rope and hung in the air and swayed back and forth.

The walls of the capital were several feet high. Lou Jianyu looked at the ground from afar and shuddered with fright. He trembled and said, “Nizi, see what you have done!”

Lou Jing narrowed his eyes.

The officials of Shangshu Province were still dealing with official documents. Suddenly, many officers and soldiers came and surrounded Shangshu Province. They locked up a group of civilian officials in the room and left a big lock.

“What do you mean?” Yao Zhu, Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites, dissatisfied.

“I would also like to ask all the adults to stay calm. The rebellious army is attacking the city. It is safe for the adults to stay in Shangshu Province.” The guard smiled coldly and ignored the scholars who kept patting the door.

“Where is Zuoxiang?” Chen Shichang’s eldest son hurriedly came to inspect, everyone was startled, and then they remembered that they hadn’t seen Zuoxiang Yang Youting from beginning to end.

At this time, Yang Youting was standing in the inner room of the Panlong Temple, drafting the edict.

“…The emperor’s eldest son Xiao Chengjun, respectful and benevolent, and…” Emperor Chunde was about to take a few breaths.

Yang Youting wrote the edict of Emperor Chunde’s position on the bright yellow brocade one by one. Hearing this, he could not help but squeeze the pen in his hand, “The emperor, are you planning to establish a regent?”

The emperor’s grandson had been set up before, but the grandson was young and needed the assistant of the regent. Now that it is, I am afraid that Xiao Chengjun is deliberately appointed as the regent. But this is obviously not what everyone wants to see. You must know that the Lord of the country is young, and he has established the abandoned prince who should have succeeded as the regent. It is conceivable that the court will not be stable.

Emperor Chunde looked up, the meaning in his eyes was very clear, he really planned that.

The edict, except for the emperor’s confidant, no one in the royal family could be present. Ji Zhuo drank tea steadily outside, Xiao Chengjin sat beside him, and the three princes sat in the distance with an ugly face. There were two strong guards. Watching.

“Report to the queen, Chen’s bring it.” The guard outside the door bowed to report.

Chen was wearing a blue dress with an ugly face. He looked at Queen Ji, who was sitting on the main seat, coldly, “The queen’s lady called her concubines to come, why?” She knew the situation outside the palace. For this reason, he could only fight back, but the three princes were trapped in the Panlong Palace. In these days, she was anxious, afraid that Ji Zhuo would harm her son.

“The emperor has a decree. It is said that the queen and the princes will see him.” With a sad face, Huaizhong called everyone in, “I heard that the Chen came, and the emperor let in together.”

Ji Jue got up, signaled Xiao Chengjin to follow him, and separated a certain distance from the mother and son.

Yang Youting held the edict with a solemn expression, did not open it, and stood quietly on the side.

“I decided to reinstate the eldest son of the emperor Xiao Chengjun as the prince. When I let go and let the prince inherit the rule, you must help me with all my heart…” Emperor Chunde’s complexion suddenly became better, his face was flushed, and he spoke coherently. NS.

“The emperor!” Chen’s mouth closed in surprise, “The emperor has already established the emperor’s grandson, how can he re-establish the prince?”

The Chen family got used to being proud in front of Emperor Chunde, and sometimes she would interject a few words in some important affairs of the court. At this time, the crown prince was re-established, and Xiao Chengjun led the soldiers and King Qin to become famous, and he could invade the capital in a grandiose manner. Their Chen family was a complete rebellious courtier and thieves.

Emperor Chunde looked at the woman he had doted on for nearly two decades, waved his hand, let everyone go out, and said that he wanted to say a few words to the Chen family alone.

The Habayashi army in the city is quickly converging towards the imperial palace, and the guards of Kyoto Prefecture, also numbering two thousand, are also quickly converging towards the imperial palace.

Chen Shichang hesitated like a beast, fidgeting in the house.

“The army of the king of Fujian is less than fifty miles away.” The soldier who came to report the letter was also a little desperate.

“Xiao Chengjun, what a Xiao Chengjun…” Chen Shichang’s eyes were red, and only now did he realize that since Xiao Chengjun left the capital and heading towards the center, Xiao Chengjun has actually been under the control of Xiao Chengjun.

First, Lou Jing wanted to come to Jiangzhou for military power, and then Empress Ji deliberately surrendered Feng Yin to make Chen Guifei make mistakes, in order to find a way to hand over the **** Luo Ji to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The villain Shen Lian has always regarded the original cooperation as a use, thinking that Chen Shichang has treated him poorly and must avenge this revenge and tear his face with him.

Chen Shichang’s arrangement is not yet complete, and he knows that this is not a good time for hands-on, but the matter is over. If he doesn’t take any action, he himself will go to jail. Fortunately, time is rushed, and Xiao Chengjun’s power in Minzhou has not yet developed, so he is not afraid. Unexpectedly, Lingnan, Jiangzhou, Minzhou, Yuezhou, and even Jinzhou are already under the control of Xiao Chengjun!

“The King of Min is afraid that he has already started planning.” Sun Liang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, looking at Chen Shichang’s appearance, added coolly.

“It’s not over yet! It’s not over yet!” Chen Shichang threw the cup in his hand to the ground, which was really unacceptable. He actually fell into the hands of a young man who had not yet reached the weak crown.

There was still a stalemate outside the city, Lou Jing sat on the horse in his spare time, and did not intend to save his father at all.

“Tell the general, a large number of soldiers suddenly appeared in the north of the city, and they are rushing towards the capital!” A small soldier hurriedly came to report, “It is less than 20 miles now.”

Not only the Jinzhou Army, but also the officers and soldiers guarding the city were in an uproar. Tanzi and Yuchao are old enemies, and they will appear near the capital at this time!

Lou Jing’s mouth raised a sneer. The Chen family really took the risk. Even the soldiers of Tartar dared to use it. He raised his head and said loudly, “The right-hand Chen Shichang, colluded with Tartar, committed chaos, intended to rebel, and you opened it quickly. If not, the gate of the city would be collaborating with the enemy and treason.”

Smoke and dust billowed from the sky. Obviously, a large number of cavalry came here. The soldier guarding the gate almost loosened the rope that was pulling Lou Jianyu, scared him to scream.

“Array!” Lou Jing ignored the people on the city gate and raised his hand to order. The Jinzhou army behind him changed its formation neatly. Archers lined up, infantry holding shields behind, and cavalry The line-up is scattered.

Tarzi lives in the desert, with strong soldiers and strong horses, and no one can match his riding and shooting skills.

“Hurry up and get me up!” Lou Jianyu was hung for a long time, really frightened. Seeing the black bow and arrow below is ready to go, for fear that even the arrow ran in the wrong place and shot him or Shot the rope.

The gatekeeper on the tower was also frightened, and hurriedly pulled up the tower, holding his breath and watching the upcoming fierce battle under the city.

Arrows in the sky covered the top like a dark cloud, and they shot at the cavalry rushing far away. The Tartar cavalry rushed to the front screaming and planted their horses, and the ones behind rushed forward regardless.

The Jinzhou army is very familiar with Tarzi. Facing these barbarians who are not afraid of death, they have long been accustomed to them. He also speeded up his pace and rushed into the formation. The short body was protected by a shield and quickly cut off the horse’s hoof. Another infantry took the opportunity to kill the fallen Tartar soldier with a knife. The cooperation was very tacit.

This is the formation created by Old Anguo to deal specifically with the Tartar cavalry. Grandpa Lou Jia called it “dumpling making”.

Tarzi has few troops, but the victory lies in strong soldiers and horses, mostly cavalry. Yu Chao had few horses and it was not easy to attack actively, so he simply stayed in place. There are many infantrymen, one for cutting horse legs and one for cavalry. This is called “chopping stuffing.”

After all the Tartar soldiers attacked, the Jinzhou cavalry who had just dispersed suddenly outflanked them, surrounded the Tartars and killed them with infantry, which was to wrap up the chopped stuffing.

It’s easy to say. If you use this formation properly, you need a superb deployment ability to make the infantry and cavalry work together perfectly, and the tactics are also very expensive to fight. You must know that it’s easier for the cavalry to kill the infantry right away. many.

Suddenly, the shouts of killing shook the sky outside the capital.

Lou Jing was on a rush march this time. He didn’t bring too much food, grass, or equipment. He was lightly packed and lightly packed all the way. The men and horses were not all Jinzhou troops. Jinzhou is a strong frontier defense. Even in order to fight for the throne, Lou Jing can’t transfer all the Jinzhou army away, otherwise the country will be subjugated by the attack. Therefore, the Jinzhou army who came with this time only had less than 8,000 men, and the Tartar cavalry in front of him, to say nothing, had 3,000, which was very difficult to deal with.

The Jinju Army, which was going to attack the city, became a defender, and the gate of the city could not be opened anyway.

Ji Jue stood on the jade steps of Panlong Hall, watching the red sun gradually sinking to the west, and the noise of the outer palace gradually came, breaking the tranquility of the inner palace.

The Yulin Army was fighting in the Outer Palace at the moment. I don’t know when the Chen family has hidden so many forces in the capital, which is really troublesome.

“Queen father.” Xiao Chengjin stood beside him and whispered softly. Since childhood, as long as he stands beside the queen father, he will feel safe and there is no need to be afraid of anything. This is also true at this moment.

“Is Cheng Jun really not planning to take the concubine?” Ji Jue asked suddenly.

Xiao Chengjin pursed her lips, “Brother Huang has decided, and I can’t persuade him.”

After a moment of silence, Empress Ji sighed slowly. He naturally understood Xiao Chengjun’s intentions about establishing the emperor’s grandson. After teaching Xiao Chengjun to love men since he was a child, he unexpectedly overtaught him, “Nothing…”

Before they finished speaking, there was a scream in the hall, and the two immediately turned and walked in.

The sound came from the inner room, and the third prince who was sitting in the outer hall depressedly ran in, screaming out of fright.

“Bitch!” In the inner room, Emperor Chunde’s eyes were red and crazy, his hands pinched Chen’s neck fiercely, and Chen’s complexion had been pinched to black, his eyes turned white, and his face was full. Horrified.

“Father!” Xiao Chengduo rushed forward, breaking the hand of Emperor Chunde to pull the Chen clan out, but Emperor Chunde seemed to have used all his strength and couldn’t move.

When the Queen and King Jing came in, Chen’s neck had been chopped off, and the three princes slumped to the ground holding the corpse of the mother concubine. Emperor Chunde stared at the mother and son with a hoarse roar in his throat. “Bitch, why do you treat me so…poof…” Before he finished speaking, he spouted a mouthful of blood and fell on the bed.

When the imperial doctor arrived, he was already unable to recover.

“The emperor died–” Huai Zhong’s sad voice resounded through the inner palace.

As night fell, the chaos in the capital had just begun.

The Danzi soldiers were very tenacious, and they rushed up with waves. Lou Jing had to destroy these Danzi before he could enter the city. Otherwise, Danzi would be in trouble if he attacked the capital.

At this moment, there was the sound of horseshoes from the south of the city, and the army of the King of Fujian finally arrived.

Lou Jing slashed a tartar soldier with a knife, blood splashed on his face, too late to wipe it, turned around to block the big knife from the sneak attack, and a silver gun came quickly, stabbing the man in the opposite direction.

“Second Uncle!” Lou Jing exclaimed with joy in his heart.

“There is a Tartar!” Xu Che snorted coldly, and the silver spear swept across, bounced off the two cavalry who rushed up, and smashed them off the horse, “Leave it to me, you go and help the King of Fujian attack the city!”

“Yes!” Lou Jing no longer loves to fight, and rushes out with the Youyun Sixteen Cavalry, and rushes to the center of the King of Min’s army, to be precise, to his Royal Highness in a uniform.

Xiao Chengjun wore a moon-white armor, showing a very pale blue in the moonlight, reflecting the handsome face, adding a touch of solemnity.

Lou Jing had never seen Xiao Chengjun wearing armor, but now, when he saw it, he was a little bit astonished. He couldn’t wait to move forward, “Chengjun!”

The soldiers in front were attacking the city, and the slamming of the giant wood was endless. Everyone didn’t even bother to pay attention to the King of Min’s side, and even a shout was drowned in the noise.

Xiao Chengjun heard it, turned his head to look at him, and showed a slight smile. When the person approached, he slowly stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from his face, “Is there any injury?”

“No.” Lou Jing held that hand and nudged greedily.

In the crowd, it was hard to say anything, Xiao Chengjun squeezed the palm of his hand, right to appease.

The number of the army of the King of Fujian is nearly fifty thousand, and it is not a problem to destroy the Tarzi soldiers that have been slashed.

“Boom!” With a cry of the ground, the city gate was knocked open, and the army shouted and rushed in, and the guards inside the gate would be quickly cleaned up.

“Don’t disturb the people!” Xiao Chengjun ordered the army to stop outside the city, led five thousand elite soldiers into Zhengyangmen, and went straight to the palace.

The fighting in the outer palace has not stopped. Yang Youting, who has gone through the two dynasties, can’t help but sweat in cold sweat. What’s more, the civil servants trapped in Shangshu Province are all anxious.

The battlefield had reached the inner palace, and Ji Zhuo stood on the jade steps, staring coldly at the palace garden of the Panlong Temple, with swords and swords shadows, blood flowing into a river. Then, a large number of people rushed in from the palace gate.

“The King of Fujian is here to **** the King of Qin!” The five thousand elite soldiers shouted in unison, resounding across the sky.

Ji Jue remained motionless, and when he stopped fighting outside the palace, Xiao Chengjun’s calm and clear voice sounded outside the door, “My son Xiao Chengjun, the **** is late!”

“General Xu Che, Chen Zhengnan, the **** is late!”

“Chen Zhennan General Lou Jing, the **** is late!”

Ji Jue raised his hand slightly, “Open the door.”
