Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 344 One step away

In front of the Taiji front hall between the terraces, there are two groups of people confronting each other, one of them is a group of soldiers with neat armor and cold soldiers.

The formation on the other side is much more scattered, it is a group of unarmed people, and there seems to be differences in factions and camps among them, which is different from the strong soldiers on the opposite side. The formation is at a clear disadvantage.

However, now in terms of momentum, those well-armed soldiers are at a disadvantage, and the blades in their hands dare not even point directly at the opponent, but point to the ground.The group of unarmed people on the opposite side was full of arrogance, pressing forward step by step, pointing at the soldiers on the opposite side and yelling at them, and some impulsive ones even stepped forward and kicked those who seemed capable but dared not fight back. soldiers.

"The traitor Kuangshu quickly surrendered to His Majesty the Emperor!"

"The master of the king returns to the city, the rebels are put to death, and the courtiers are rebellious. If you dare to force the king to respect yourself again, I will not spare you!"

Such shouts and curses were heard endlessly. At this time, Kuang Shu, who was standing in the side hall, had an extremely gloomy expression, his clenched fists were full of veins, his brows were furrowed, his eyes were about to burst into flames, and he looked at Shen Ke beside him with hatred. Said: "Shen Ziming, tell me the truth, can Shen Lang come in time? The crowd outside is surging, but I will take care of it!"

Shen Ke also knew that Kuangshu was in a bad mood and anxious at this time. Once the outside officials knew that the master Wang was returning to the capital and they were about to escape, their original cautiousness disappeared immediately, and their arrogance became extremely arrogant.Earlier, General Liu Chao of the right guard went to the palace to dissuade them from being restless and not to disturb His Majesty the Emperor. Family members who entered Taicheng.

Shen Ke didn't know what ideas these people had in their hearts, and His Majesty the Emperor would never hand them over to them anyway.But seeing the attitude of these people who will never give up until they achieve their goals, the anxiety in Shen Ke's heart is no less than that of Kuang Shu.Each of these people took refuge in or recommended a certain important minister, and with his little reputation and qualifications, he couldn't control the scene at all.

"Mr. Kuang also knows that the gate of Taicheng is now under the control of Lu Yong, and Wei Zhou will inevitably be obstructed. Don't worry, as long as it can be delayed, when Wei Zhou arrives here, the situation will naturally be stabilized!"

Shen Ke comforted Kuang Shu with a solemn expression.

After hearing the words, Kuang Shu sneered and said, "It's easy for you to say, so how can you show me how to get out of the way? Now among these people, I am not only a disloyal minister who plotted against me, but also a disloyal minister who betrayed my old master." A man of righteousness! Objects kill people more than swords, how can you let me be safe!"

Shen Ke can also understand Kuang Shu's bad attitude.He was able to make up his mind to kill Xu Fang and regain the control of the Tai Chi Front Hall. He thought in his heart that he was guilty and meritorious, but now because he blocked all the ministers from the outside, it can be said that he committed public anger.With a descendant like him who has no foundation in the court, he naturally has to worry about how he will gain a foothold in Jiangdong after he has committed public anger.

"Half an hour, wait another half an hour! If Wei Zhou still can't come here, I will go out with you to meet Wang Taibao and other princes. Presumably Wei Zhou will understand that we have tried our best. In the past few months, I have relied on Mr. Kuang for your kind help and preservation in the capital. As long as I don’t die for a day, I will never owe this kindness! In the future, it will be a sin or a reward, and I will share it with Mr. Kuang!”

"I'll trust you this time!"

After Kuang Shu pondered for a long time, he nodded slowly and said.Immediately afterwards, he ordered his subordinates to call in a group of cronies, although they did not dare to use force against these ministers, they used their flesh and blood to block the front hall of Tai Chi completely.

Seeing that the sky was gradually brightening, the ministers also gradually became anxious. A large number of people stepped forward to push and squeeze, and some even tried to grab the weapons of the soldiers to fight a bloody path.

At this moment, heavy footsteps sounded from the rear, and those standing outside the confrontation turned their heads, and saw hundreds of elite soldiers slowly approaching from the south.These sergeants were different from the guards in the front hall of Taiji. They all looked solemn, and their armors were still covered with blood stains that had not dried up, which made people look awe-inspiring.

Knowing that Lu Yong occupied the Xuanyang Gate outside the city, Shen Zhezi had already guessed what the ministers were thinking about, seeing the chaotic scene in front of him, he didn't feel any difference, so he raised his sword out of its sheath and signaled the soldiers to get out of the way. Start a charge formation.

More and more people discovered this newly arrived army, and naturally recognized Shen Zhezi standing in front of the team. Unavoidably, some people felt embarrassed and wanted to come forward to say a few words, but seeing those soldiers Many of them have already drawn their bows to the full, and with the evil spirit of blood all over their bodies, it makes people shudder.So all of them hesitated and retreated to the side.

A soldier from Longxi stepped forward holding a scepter, and said loudly: "The captain-in-law and Zhaowu General Shen Zhezi are ordered by His Majesty the Empress Dowager to return to Duqin Wang Mianjun. Anyone who obstructs him will be regarded as a traitor and will be killed!"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed. Originally, some people wanted to urge everyone to come forward and block the way.From their point of view, Shen Zhezi is young after all, and may not be able to have his own opinion or understand the pros and cons of it. As long as they obstruct it for a moment, they can rush into the palace to occupy the position in front of His Majesty the Emperor, and decide the distinction between host and guest. There may not be no dispute Power.

But when the other party came up, they grasped the righteousness of the empress dowager's edict, and seeing that the sergeants really had the momentum to kill if they disagreed with each other, no one dared to step forward to test whether Shen Zhezi had the courage.Especially those ministers of Langya Wang's side knew the arrangements made by Wang Taibao, and when they saw Lu Yong standing respectfully behind Shen Zhezi, their demeanor was full of despair.

"It's coming, it's coming, it's finally here!"

Shen Ke, who was in the side hall, heard the movement outside, let out a long breath of near collapse, and then realized that his clothes were already soaked in sweat.And the condition of Kuang Shu next to him was not much better than that of Shen Ke at this time, and the pressure in his heart was even worse than that of Shen Ke. Seeing that Shen Zhezi was shocked by the scene as soon as he came, he could hardly bear it. Weeping with joy, secretly sighing that there is nothing wrong with my persistence.

He bowed his hands to Shen Ke, then ordered his subordinates to put on the linen robes he had prepared and put them on, and took two attendants, each holding the scepter bestowed by Su Jun and stamping the letter, and hurried out of the side hall.

At this time, the soldiers guarding the front hall of Taiji slowly parted a road, and Kuang Shu in a plain robe passed through the road, and hurried to Shen Zhezi and knelt down in front of Shen Zhezi: "Sinful minister Kuang Shu, I have been waiting for the master for a long time. , Although it belongs to the king, it is difficult to pay for the previous crimes, please make the king punish!"

Shen Zhezi was also a little surprised that Kuangshu could persist until now. He had already prepared the plan to use force to take back the emperor on the way, but the result is already very good.As for Kuang Shu, who had taken refuge in him early in the morning, there was no need to put on a pretense, especially Shen Zhezi also knew that Kuang Shu would have to bear a lot of pressure and bear a lot of resentment in order to obstruct the courtiers.Now my own statement has a great impact on how Kuang Shu will be treated after being demoted.

He took a step forward, bent down to help Kuang Shu up, patted him on the shoulder and laughed loudly: "Although Mr. Kuang has reversed his deeds, he was able to protect His Majesty the Emperor from being disturbed at a time of peril, and to welcome the king's teacher is a worthy minister. Complete."

As the hero of Jing Nan who first returned to Jiankang and entered Taicheng, Shen Zhezi's evaluation can be said to set the tone for Kuang Shu's deeds. The crime of treason on his body.Of course, if the emperor was taken away by the courtiers, there would be no such legal reason for Shen Zhezi's merits and demerits to be judged by other people if his own ministers such as Wang Dao and Lu Ye used the name of the emperor power up.

Kuang Shu had a sore nose when he heard the words, and could hardly hold back his tears, not because he was grateful to Shen Zhezi, but because he felt that his choice and persistence were not in vain, and he finally got the early rewards.

Signaling his subordinates to lead Kuangshu behind him, Shen Zhezi stepped forward and said to the courtiers with different expressions: "Your younger generation is carrying the order of the empress dowager to return to the capital, and it was a good luck. You will pay homage to the princes later."

Although everyone had different ideas, they didn't know what to do at the moment, so they could only salute back without daring to obstruct.

Now that Master Wang had arrived, he naturally took over the defense of the Tai Chi front hall, and the troops of Kuangshu retreated one after another and went back to defend at the entrances and exits.Shen Zhezi called to visit the emperor, but he stood in front of the hall and watched the soldiers change their defenses. When he saw that there were still many ministers standing outside the hall unwilling to give up, he said loudly: "Although the king's master entered the capital, the rebels have not yet come." Suppress it all, please return to your place of residence, so as not to be harmed by the rebellious army!"

Although the tone was calm, the meaning inside was very clear. Whoever dares to dawdle outside is eye-catching, the rebel army may appear in a minute and kill them in Taicheng!

Someone heard the implication, and couldn't help but become a little ugly. After a while, someone stepped forward and asked: "May I ask Shen Lang, Wang Shi returned to attack Gyeonggi, apart from your department, which one is there to join forces outside the capital?"

"This is a military secret of Xingtai, so it is inconvenient to tell, so as not to be known by the rebels."

Shen Zhezi bowed his hands to the man and answered, then turned his head to look at the guards, his tone was murderous: "Taichung military is in charge of security, and anyone who privately discusses Wang Shi's military affairs will be regarded as a rebellious party and will be shot to death!"

The man was speechless by Shen Zhezi's words, and his expression was extremely embarrassing. He asked this question not only because he really wanted to know which ones had returned to Jiankang, but in fact he was actually warning Shen Zhezi not to rely on his own preconceived ideas. Taicheng was domineering and forced the crowd with soldiers. After all, there were other ministries of the king's division outside.But he couldn't imagine that the so-called Master Wang was already in front of his eyes!
Seeing that there are still people who are unwilling to go to Lianzhan, Shen Zhezi really feels that he can't give these dog-skin plasters a good face, so he simply ordered: "In order to infiltrate Taicheng for the sake of the anti-rebellion department, Taicheng will be cleaned up in a quarter of an hour, and there are still people who linger and watch. All arrests, military law enforcement!"

As soon as this order was uttered, it was immediately effective, and immediately those ministers who were still lingering in front of the hall left here one after another.It's just that before leaving, there was a lot of resentment on his face.

At this time, Shen Ke also rushed up in the side hall. Seeing Shen Zhezi who was in the armor, he opened his mouth, but was completely speechless, but tears were already in his eyes.What he worked so hard for in Taicheng was this moment. From the moment Shen Zhezi set foot in Taicheng, their entire Shen family was completely different from before!

"Thank you uncle!"

Looking at Shen Ke, who was too excited to speak, with the corners of his mouth fluttering, Shen Zhezi felt a lot of emotion in his heart.Standing in front of the front hall of Tai Chi, he couldn't help the surge of emotion. He was only one step away from the gate of the hall, but for this step, all the efforts in the past suddenly broke out at this moment!
Taking this step, his life, the fate of the Shen family, the situation in Jiangdong and even the general trend of the whole world will usher in a new chapter!
The sun jumped out of the horizon suddenly, and the light shined on the world again!
　Does anyone want to kick this guy in. . .Sprinkle dog blood indiscriminately. . .
