Invincible son

Chapter 673 672 [What seems to be in the world] (21)

"His Royal Highness, my lords, you don't think I'm going to rebel with [-] soldiers, do you?"

Looking at the farce on the city wall, although he couldn't hear the specific words clearly, Pei Yue could imagine the noisy and disgusting scene.After the above finally calmed down, he asked with a mocking smile on his face.

Liu Zan snorted coldly, and said loudly: "If you don't want to rebel, your father's poisoning has nothing to do with you. Why did you lead the army to invade the capital? You even held the north gate in your hand in advance, isn't it just the idea of ​​seizing the capital? It is very simple to prove your innocence, tell Zang Fengwei and Wu Dingwei to return to Beiying immediately, and you personally escort Father Emperor in, this king will naturally trust your loyalty."

Zhang Wudao, Marquis of Chengyang: "Pei Yue, this Marquis thought that you were young and promising, and made great achievements in the country, so you did not attack your subordinates last night, but allowed them to leave the north gate. The only thing you can do now is follow the What His Highness means, honestly escort His Majesty into the city, otherwise countless people will die because of you."

He beckoned, and his personal soldiers escorted an Angzang man over.

Chen Xianda was tied up, but he was not severely tortured, and even the two dislocated arms were connected.

The soldiers arrived at Chen Xianda by the wall, with a long knife on his neck. As long as Zhang Wu gave an order, the sharp blade could cut Chen Xianda's throat in an instant.

Zhang Wu looked at Pei Yue sharply, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness has repeatedly stated that he will give you a chance. As long as you are willing to plead guilty and subdue the law, others will not be implicated. But if you persist in your obsession, this Commander Chen will be killed immediately." .”

Li Bingzhong sneered and said: "He won't be the last one. I heard that there are more than 2000 people hidden in the Zhongshan Marquis Mansion. Pei Yue, you must have seen many bloody scenes when you galloped on the battlefield, but it is difficult for us. See, maybe I can see it this time. More than 2000 human heads, it is really an unimaginable view of Beijing."

Pei Yue ignored these taunts, he just looked up at Chen Xianda fixedly.

The sun swayed down from the sky and shone on Chen Xianda's face. With a smile on his face, he said loudly: "Master Hou, don't forget to avenge me."

Pei Yue nodded solemnly, and dozens of soldiers around him pressed their right hands to their chests at the same time.

He turned around and rode his horse towards the formation.

"Pei Yue!"

On the city wall, Liu Zan said angrily: "Since you don't care about the opportunity this king gives, don't blame this king for being cruel!"

He waved his hand sharply.

Six burly soldiers appeared on both sides of the gate tower, each holding a huge horn.

"Ugh-"

"Ugh-"

"Ugh-"

The sound of the horn resounded through the sky, shaking Kyoto.

The east and the west are full of smoke.

A large army came quickly from the east, the armor was bright and the army was well-groomed, and the leader was a veteran who was over fifty years old.

He is Luo Huanzhang, the commander of the Southern Camp of the Beijing Army and Hou Dingjun.

To the west is also a torrent of vigor, led by Changxing Hou Qujiang himself, who is the elite of the Beijing Army's West Camp.

On the vast and flat land outside Beimen City, the two battalions of the Beijing Army with a total of 6 people attacked from the east and west, encircling the Zangfengwei and Wudingwei in the middle.All of a sudden, there were banners and flags hunting and soldiers cutting their blades like a forest, as if a tragic war was about to break out.Although both Zangfengwei and Wudingwei were elites who had survived on the battlefield in the western border, the two battalions of the Beijing Army were not weak either. Most of them had participated in the frontier army rotation.

Especially the West Camp of the Beijing Army under the command of Qu Jiang, who has been on standby all these years, with excellent weapons and drills.

Wang Pingzhang devoted countless efforts to Xiying, but he did not expect that one day he would help King Yan.

Pei Yue didn't panic, and the soldiers under his command didn't make any commotion.

Wu Dingwei immediately formed a shield formation, Zangfengwei dragged back and headed north, and divided into two groups to deal with the cavalry of the Beijing army.

After Pei Yue took a look, he turned around and looked at the people on the city wall expressionlessly.

Liu Zan said sternly: "Now you have only two choices, either immediately follow what I just said, or take the [-] soldiers on the charge of rebellion and be crushed by the Beijing army."

At this moment, something happened suddenly in the east.

The commander of the Southern Camp, Luo Huanzhang, Marquis of the Dingjun, rode one by one and headed down the city gate.

Seeing this scene, the officials on the city wall couldn't help but look worried.They all knew that the two battalions of the Beijing Army were able to appear here because Liu Zan had mastered the tiger talisman of dispatching troops through the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and took advantage of the chance that Emperor Kaiping was assassinated, and personally persuaded Luo Huanzhang and Qujiang to attack Pei at this moment. Yue Beiying.

But what exactly does Luo Huanzhang want to do?Could it be that this old man with old wounds in the western region will stand by Pei Yue's side?
Liu Zan didn't make a sound to stop him, and looked at the city indifferently, only the veins on the backs of his hands pressed against the wall were bulging.

Luo Huanzhang came alone, without even a weapon. When he came to Pei Yue, he first turned his head and glanced at the holy driver in Wudingwei's main formation not far away, and then asked in a deep voice, "How is your Majesty doing now?"

Pei Yue said calmly: "Your Majesty's body is highly poisoned and his aura is very weak. Now the First Prince, Wei Guogong, Han Canzheng, Duan Wang Liu Xiang and the imperial physicians are standing by his side to avoid any further inappropriate things."

Luo Huanzhang frowned and said, "I believe in you."

Pei Yue nodded and said, "Thank you."

Luo Huanzhang shook his head and said: "But I believe you are useless. If you want to prove yourself, you can only act according to the method that King Yan said, or you can let Shengjia come to Beijing first."

Pei Yue looked at him steadfastly, saw that his face was extremely sincere, and thought of his past in the western region, he said softly: "Uncle Luo, look at King Yan's current state, can I trust His Majesty into his hands? Whether it is me Accompanying His Majesty to the capital, or letting Sheng Jia enter the city first, there is no difference in the result. If it is the former, Liu Zan will definitely kill me immediately, but if it is the latter, how long do you think Your Majesty can live under his hands?"

These words can be described as extremely frank, Luo Huanzhang let out a long sigh, and said slowly: "But he is His Majesty's own son."

After the assassination of Emperor Kaiping, only King Duan Liu Xiang and the four adult princes were really qualified to preside over the overall situation. Now, except for King Yan Liu Zan, everyone else is by Pei Yue's side. This is the root cause of Liu Zan's ability to manipulate power .

No matter how loyal Pei Yue has been in the past, and how much credit he has given to Daliang, he has no rightful blessing after all, so Liu Zan can easily pin the blame on him and force him to make a choice of death or life.

Pei Yue's eyes were calm, and he said indifferently: "But His Majesty has more than just King Yan's son."

Luo Huanzhang suddenly raised his head, responded with a reply, then turned his horse's head and walked towards the southern camp of the Beijing Army.

Pei Yue watched him go back, and then cast a look at the soldiers around him, who immediately galloped towards Sheng Jia.

Liu Zan on the city wall sneered, and ordered the soldiers to blow the horns, only to hear the majestic and desolate sound of the horns spread all over the field, the positions of the West Camp and the South Camp began to move towards the middle, less than a hundred feet away from Wu Dingwei's shield formation.

However, the soldiers of Wu Dingwei were still as silent as a mountain, like towering trees standing between heaven and earth.

Wei Rui and Tang Linfen each led half of the cavalry in the Zangfeng Guards, and they stared at the two battalions of the Beijing Army on the periphery of the formation.

As long as the opponent dares to attack, they will definitely attack the main formation of the Beijing camp as soon as possible.

At this moment, the eldest prince Liu Xian, dressed in ordinary clothes, left Shengjia and rode his horse to Pei Yue's side.

There was a commotion on the city wall, and all the officials looked at Liu Xian with complicated eyes. If Emperor Kaiping hadn't been poisoned, this eldest prince would most likely become the prince of Daliang, but now he is standing side by side with the traitor Pei Yue. Such a scene It's really absurd.Dang even someone backed away without a trace, and then quietly looked at King Yan Liu Zan.

Is it true that what King Yan said, His Majesty was poisoned by Pei Yue?
Liu Xian looked up at the fourth prince, the eyes of the brothers met, but there was no friendship at all.

He said: "Fourth brother, how long are you going to mess around? Now that the father is unconscious, why don't you open the city gate quickly and let the holy driver enter the city and enter the palace, but waste your time here? I can assure you , Father's poisoning has absolutely nothing to do with Pei Yue!"

"ensure?"

Liu Zan smiled coldly, and said to the side: "Please come out, Sixth Brother."

Everyone was shocked.

After a while, the sixth prince and Prime Minister Liu Zhi came to the city wall under the protection of two personal soldiers. He first glanced at the situation on both sides, and finally his eyes rested on Liu Xian who was under the city.

Liu Zan said: "Fourth brother, please tell me what you told me last night."

Under the attention of everyone, Liu Zhi was silent for a moment and then said: "My father was suddenly poisoned last night. At that time, there was only Pei Yue around my father. After the incident, Duke Wei wanted to relieve Pei Yue of his military power. After all, he was the most suspected person. But not only did Pei Yue not obey orders, but instead ordered his generals to lead the troops to control the palace. Brother Dahuang expressed his trust in Pei Yue from the beginning to the end, and it seems that such behavior is not a problem in his opinion."

Liu Xian was furious and said: "Lao Liu, what nonsense are you talking about? Pei Yue wanted to prove his innocence and at the same time protect his father, so he refused to hand over his military power. The complete trust in the mouth?"

Liu Zhi was unmoved, and said indifferently: "Next, Pei Yue put Wei Guogong, Han Canzheng, and Duan Wang's uncle under house arrest. In name, they were asked to take care of the father, but in fact they were not allowed to intervene in follow-up matters. Pei Yue asked me to return Jingdu, however, did not allow me to go to the palace to find the empress, but instead asked me to notify Hou Guliang of Guangping to preside over the overall situation."

Li Bingzhong glared at Pei Yue and cursed, "Wolf ambition!"

The rest scolded one after another, as if the proof of Pei Yue's regicide had been conclusive.

The eldest prince under the city looked at Liu Zhi in disbelief, his chest heaved violently and said: "Lao Liu, Pei Yue made it very clear at the time, and asked the second younger brother to inform the two rulers and the Marquis of Guangping, and asked you to go to the palace to inform the empress. , ask them to work together to stabilize the situation in Duzhong, why do you want to talk nonsense in person? What exactly do you want to do?!"

Liu Zhi lowered his eyes and said, "I don't know where the Second Emperor is, and I don't know if he is still alive. I only know that Pei Yue is in charge of this matter, and you are always on his side."

How vicious this sentence is.

The eyes of many courtiers looking at Liu Xian have changed.

Although what Liu Zhi said was very cryptic, how could these people fail to understand the meaning behind the words, Liu Zhi was clearly implying that Emperor Kaiping's poisoning was caused by the conspiracy of Pei Yue and the First Prince!
Feeling the breeze on his face, Liu Zan felt extremely comfortable.

The situation is completely in his hands.

He had never been so happy in his life.

Liu Xian was so angry that he almost fainted, he never imagined that his own brother would be so vicious, not only helping Liu Zan to find out the gaps in words, but also pinning the blame on him, which made him almost speechless.

Liu Zan looked at Pei Yue condescendingly, and said calmly: "You can also invite Wei Guogong and Han to participate in politics. I want to hear if they are willing to testify for you."

He learned from Liu Zhi that what happened in the Xingliang Palace last night was exactly the same as the secret report he received earlier, so he was very sure at the moment.Wang Pingzhang was already at odds with Pei Yue, and last night he was stepped on by Pei Yue's two guards, he would never speak for Pei Yue.

As for Han Gongduan, who participated in politics, his younger brother Han Qingduan stood on the city wall, and this person has always been loyal and will never wash away Pei Yue's suspicion against his conscience.

Finally when the dust settled, Liu Zan became more and more complacent.

However, he seemed to see a sneer in Pei Yue's eyes. Although he was a little far away, he couldn't see it clearly, but the feeling in his heart was very clear.

In order to erase the hesitation in his heart, he sternly said: "Everyone who is a traitor will be punished! Pei Yue, I will give you another incense stick, if you still refuse to let go, you will be arrested—"

He turned his head to look at Zhang Wu, Marquis of Chengyang beside him.

Zhang Wuxin understood, and said loudly: "All the soldiers of the garrison division listen to the order!"

"Wait!"

Thousands of elites responded in unison.

Zhang Wu raised his finger to Chen Xianda, and said decisively: "After a stick of incense, behead this man to sacrifice the flag, then kill the national traitor Pei Yue, and help Chao Gang!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The blood is diffused.

The horn sounded for the third time, and the southern and western camps of the Beijing army advanced another ten feet, and the archers were already on the string.

Wu Dingwei waited in full force, and Zang Fengwei began to move slowly.

The situation was on the verge of breaking out, Pei Yue glanced at the distorted eldest prince next to him, chuckled and said, "Your Highness, why get angry?"

Liu Xian looked at him in disbelief, feeling extremely absurd, frowned and said, "Can you still laugh?"

"Why not?" Pei Yue looked calm, and then waved to the soldiers around him.

The soldier took out a firework token from his pocket, and waited quietly for Pei Yue's order.

Pei Yue turned his head to look at those poor people on the city wall, and was about to speak, but saw a person appearing beside the wall, and then walked towards King Yan firmly.

When Baiguan saw this person, he saluted subconsciously and moved away.

Because he was in power at the right of the court, the actual prime minister of the Eastern Mansion, Luo Ting Luo Jiyu.

Yan Wang Liu Zan watched Luo Ting walk in front of him, and then frowned, because Luo Ting was followed by a group of courtiers.

The censor Huang Rentai, who is over [-] years old, the other four ministers except Liu Daxia and Duan Lun, and seven ministers in six departments.

Luo Ting looked solemn, stared at Liu Zan, and asked word by word: "His Royal Highness, are you going to rebel?"

　Today is [-] words, I bow to everyone and apologize, there are too many lines to finish, I promise I will finish this paragraph tomorrow!My sincere apologies again!
