The devil is coming

Chapter 983 Death!
Qingxin Pavilion is not just a pavilion, or even a palace. It is on a mountain, a hill in the southeast corner of Shangjing City;
Shangjing is not only the capital of Daqian. Several generations ago, other separatist dynasties have already established their capitals here. Therefore, this hill historically belongs to the category of royal gardens.
However, in order to make it more comfortable for the officials to live in, the official family made some renovations here. It was not for their own convenience, but for the convenience of some courtiers to come here to meet and discuss matters.
It’s night and it’s cool;
The official was wearing a Taoist robe, sitting by the small pond, watching the fish swimming inside.
There is a greenhouse set up in the small courtyard, and the temperature is suitable; after all, when it comes to fighting, Gan Ren is not ranked high, but when it comes to enjoyment, hey, Gan Ren really doesn't scare anyone.
There were several plates of fruits placed next to the officials. They were clean and looked fresh.
In the distance, there were palace maids and eunuchs standing quietly, no one dared to disturb the tranquility of the official family.
After sitting for a long time,
The official may feel a little tired.
Holding the edge of the pool with his hands, he raised his head and looked at the moonlight tonight;
Coincidentally, a dark cloud had just obscured the not-so-bright moonlight tonight.
At this time, a beautiful figure came over.
As she came, no one dared to stop her;
"Guan family, it's getting cold, go back to the house." Thyme Lan said.
The official laughed,
Road:
"I will continue to admire the moon."
"The moon tonight is very ordinary."
The official shook his head slightly and said:
"Actually, it's the same month every night. The moon doesn't care about beauty or ugliness, beauty or blandness. What's artificial is the person who stands on the ground and looks up at it, out of reach."
"Guan family, it's getting cold."
"It's winter, where's the cold?"
The official continued to sit and did not move.
Thyme Lan looked at the official family, said nothing, took a few steps back and stood on the edge.
The official looked at her and asked:
"Third grade?"
"Yes."
"Your brother's path is actually not easy to follow."
"There must be only one sharpest sword in the world. Xianglan has no intention of competing for the first sword. The road my brother has traveled may not be the best, but at least it proves that it can be walked.
Thank you to the official family, I will use your luck to help Xianglan break through. "
"Since your brother can borrow it, why can't you, my sister, borrow it?
No need to thank you.
Your brother came to Beijing in white clothes and attracted the attention of the capital, but in the final analysis, his chicness was his;
Just like Yao Zizhan, what they earn is a false reputation, but in fact, they are too lazy to do serious business or trivial things.
Instead, it’s you who have worked hard over the years, Pandan. "
Thyme Orchid stopped talking, and took a few steps back again, disappearing into the shadows, leaving all the little moonlight to the officials.
……
A large group of knights came on horseback.
The leader is a middle-aged general with a Chinese-style face and sword-like eyebrows.
"Who is coming!"
"Who is coming!"
At the foot of the mountain, the Forbidden Army immediately formed a formation.
The torch lit up, dispelling the darkness nearby, and the appearance of the middle-aged general was revealed.
"My son-in-law!"
"Meet the son-in-law!"
The guard at the foot of the mountain immediately saluted.
"This prince-in-law has important matters to see the officials."
"Prince-in-law, please wait a moment. I'm going to report to you now."
"My prince-in-law's matter is very urgent. I can't wait to report it."
"Prince-in-law, this is my duty. Please don't embarrass me, my duty..."
"puff!"
Zhong Tianlang's knife had already penetrated the chest of the mountain guarding general, and then he pulled it out.
next moment,
The soldiers he brought immediately rushed forward with their swords drawn.
The Forbidden Army at the foot of the mountain did not expect that the Prince Consort of Daqian, who was most respected by the government, would rebel. Moreover, Zhong Tianlang was leading elite border troops. The Forbidden Army at the foot of the mountain was defeated in a hurry and suffered heavy casualties.
Zhong Tianlang held a knife and kept cutting down the imperial soldiers who were blocking him, and then climbed up the stairs;
Gradually, the soldiers he brought immediately followed him, and kept surpassing him to clear the way for him.
However, the killing at the foot of the mountain did not continue on the mountainside.
Above, many Forbidden Army soldiers had dropped their weapons and stood aside. On the ground, the bodies of some Forbidden Army generals were also lying on the ground.
A man in silver armor with half-white hair and beard was standing there, looking at Zhong Tianlang who was walking up with a smile. Next to the man in silver armor, there was also a young eunuch.
Seeing these two people, Zhong Tianlang's eyes narrowed slightly, but he did not continue to keep a cold face, but said:
"Captain Luo."
Luo Mingda, who has been in charge of the Silver Armor Guard for 20 years, is known among the people of Daqian as a demon who can stop children from crying.
"My son-in-law."
Luo Mingda saluted Zhong Tianlang very politely;
At this time, the young eunuch next to him seemed unwilling to be ignored and took the initiative to step forward and said:
"I have seen the son-in-law."
Zhong Tianlang nodded to him, "Eunuch Sun, he became a trusted eunuch of the official family three years ago, and he has already made a career in the inner court at a young age."
But obviously, in what happened tonight, he also betrayed the official family.
The rise of Eunuch Sun was surprising to outsiders, and some people even said that Eunuch Sun relied on Jin Feng to rise to power.
Once these two people choose to betray the official family, it can be said that most of the internal defenses of Qingxin Pavilion will be opened.
Zhong Tianlang did not greet these two people.
Instead he said directly:
"Go and ask the official to abdicate."
……
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned to the capital to inherit the great treasure!"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned to the capital to inherit the great treasure!"
Outside the small courtyard,
Shouts came and went.
There were still some sounds of fighting mixed in, but it was obvious that the resistance was not that fierce.
The official was still sitting by the pool, and the noise outside didn't seem to affect him at all.
However, the palace maids and eunuchs in the courtyard were all pale with fright.
At this time, a boy walked in.
After the official family moved into Qingxin Pavilion, although they did not build any ashram on a large scale, they could not do without their old habit on weekdays, which was to talk about Taoism.
The boy has a ring scar on his head, has a handsome face, greets him with a Dharma name, and is called a layman.
When he spoke, his voice didn't sound like a child's, but instead had the hoarseness of an adult.
"Guan family, they are coming in soon." Layman Wen'an said with his hands clasped together.
"Oh."
The official responded.
At this time, Thyme Orchid walked out of the shadows, unsheathed her long sword, and hung it in front of the layman Wen'an.
The boy did not panic, but looked at the thyme orchid and asked;
"The Baili family has all sworn loyalty to the new king, so why do you need to act here?"
Thyme Orchid frowned slightly, and was about to use her sword to move, but was stopped by the official:
"Go back."
Thyme Lan hesitated for a moment, and finally sheathed her sword.
The official raised his Taoist sleeves,
Laughing at himself:
"I, now everyone is really deserted, okay, okay."
Thyme Lan said: "Guan Jia, I can still try to take you out now."
When Layman Wen An heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
road;
"If your brother were still standing here alive, he would have the tone to say this, but you can't."
"Xianglan, I understand."
The official looked at Thyme Lan with some relief. He did not think that Thyme Lan was being pretentious here;
Even though the Baili family has changed ships, the Baili family is still the Baili family, and the people in the Baili family are the same people. They may look the same, but they are actually different.
For example...he is an official of Daqian, and the people who are rebelling against him now are also generals of Daqian, aren't they?
The layman Wen An said sincerely:
"In this year, I will be favored by the official, and I will be able to talk about Taoism. The official will become the Supreme Queen, and I will be less disturbed by worldly affairs. I would like to continue to accompany the official to discuss Taoism."
"it is good."
The official nodded.
next moment,
A group of soldiers rushed in.
The official straightened his waist and put his hands behind his back.
When these soldiers with blood on their armor saw the officials, the fierce look on their faces unconsciously faded away, and they silently pressed down the blade of their swords.
At this time,
Zhong Tianlang walked in.
After he saw the official's house,
Kneel down on one knee and salute:
"Tianlang, come and see the official!"
"Tianlang."
"The minister is here."
"From now on, it's all up to you."
"The official family, the prince has returned to Beijing to resume his duties..."
"Oh?"
"Rui...Prince Rui has the appearance of a Ming Lord."
"Prince Rui? Is that boy Zhao Mugou? I really like him. The Taizu lineage has been cowardly for so many years, and finally a treasure has emerged.
alright,
Things in this world,
It has nothing to do with me, the Supreme Emperor. "
The official's eyes fell behind Zhong Tianlang;
Luo Mingda and Eunuch Sun lowered their heads when they sensed the gazes from the officials.
"Tell me, how do you plan to arrange it for me? Are you going to give me a three-foot white silk ribbon, or are you going to confine me?"
"Guan Jia, what we are doing today is to do something great, not to usurp the throne and rebel. Even if Guan Jia becomes the Supreme Emperor, he is still an official family."
"Oh, if you don't kill me, then where are you going to imprison me?"
At this time, the layman Wen'an said:
"Please invite the officials to go up the back mountain."
……
Although there was bloodshed, compared to the precedents of previous dynasties, it was a very peaceful coup, and it ended in one night.
The prince came out of Yuxu Palace, entered Shangjing and entered the imperial city, where he announced his accession to the throne as emperor;
The officials of Qingxin Pavilion issued an abdication edict and passed it on to the prince on the grounds that the dragon's body was not in good condition and could no longer cope with state affairs.
There is a difference in the order of things, but it will be rearranged in the history books to make it more pleasing to the eye.
……
back mountain,
mountain gate.
The official, still wearing Taoist robes, stepped off the dragon chariot.
Beside him stood a group of soldiers;
Behind him, there were also some palace maids and eunuchs.
"I am willing to go to Beijing and personally announce my abdication in front of the civil and military officials of the dynasty. In this way, wouldn't it be more justifiable to change my name?
Furthermore, if the two emperors, father and son, abdicated to Mugou at the same time, there would be less criticism in the history books, right? "
Wen'an Jushi smiled and said: "The official family is the official family after all. An edict is enough. If the official family comes to Beijing in person, I'm afraid things will end badly."
"I'm afraid the officials and people in the capital have long hated me for what happened back then. Why, are you still worried that they will rise up to support orthodoxy for me?"
"I can't say for sure," replied the layman Wen'an.
After all, although this official likes to practice Taoism and does not like dragon robes but Taoist robes, everyone close to him knows that he is actually not a foolish king.
Not far away, two carriages were parked; there was another carriage, which was blocked by soldiers and was not allowed to approach.
In the two carriages in front,
The person in the first carriage was carried out. He was lying on the hospital bed with a sick look on his face. He was Xianggong Han.
He is not pretending to be ill, but he is really dying.
In another carriage, coming down was Yao Zizhan, the literary sage of Daqian Dynasty, with tears on his face and extremely sad;
Standing next to the carriage in the distance was Li Xundao, the former husband-in-law of Daqian. Now, he is still the husband-in-law. He has great power, but he did nothing that night.
"The official family, the official family!"
Yao Zizhan knelt down and began to cry bitterly.
"Hahaha."
The official looked at Yao Zizhan and said, "Can this situation and this scene inspire poetry for Master Yao? When you think about it in the future, will it be a revelation?"
Yao Zizhan didn't know how to answer this.
It was not difficult for the officials to do anything for him;
Daqian Literary Sage is a useless snack when it comes to government affairs. He has known this for a long time.
He didn't think he was really involved in this coup. Since he couldn't participate, he certainly couldn't change it.
However, in Yao Zizhan’s poems, there is often a sense of righteousness soaring into the sky;
Thinking about it, it may be because he is too short, so the pillar of energy seems to be taller.
"The official family..."
Prime Minister Han said openly while lying on a stretcher.
"Han Gen."
The official called out Mr. Han's name and came over.
No one stopped the officials;
Today is just to say goodbye. If nothing else happens, the official family will go up the mountain today and never come back down in this life.
There were tears in the corners of Han Xianggong's eyes. His tears were much more sincere than those of Yao Zizhan.
"Official, please forgive me. I am doing this for the sake of my career."
"I don't blame you."
At this time, Jushi Wen'an said: "The officials may not know one thing. Prince Rui's inheritance of the throne is really in compliance with the destiny. For the present plan, only this method can rectify the source and reshape the situation to suit the current situation. "
The official turned to look at the boy who also came with him.
Road:
"Look at what you said. Throughout the ages, every usurper likes to use this rhetoric."
"But what Wen An said is true."
The official smiled and said, "Look at what you said again. Which usurper from ancient times to the present would think it was fake when he sat on that dragon chair?"
"The words of greeting are really true."
The boy was a little anxious.
The official wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes that he had just laughed at.
Road:
“I know, I know, it was true when Emperor Taizu snatched the dragon robe from the hands of the orphans and widows of the Liang Kingdom, and it was also true when Emperor Taizong snatched the dragon chair from the hands of Emperor Taizu’s lineage.
It really couldn't be truer. "
"Everything an official says when greeting him is..."
“Can’t what is true in your eyes be false in others’ eyes?”
"..." Boy.
Prime Minister Han said publicly: "Let the officials suffer."
"Don't say that." The official comforted him.
"Please rest assured, officials, they are still here, and the state affairs they will do in the future will be better. There should be an explanation for the affairs of the world. After the explanation, we can work together to control the swallows and dogs."
"I believe it."
"Guan, please... feel free to go up the mountain to practice Taoism. However, I would like to ask you to be more careful when practicing Taoism on the mountain these days. The old minister is about to leave. When the time comes, I will not be able to fly back to the mountain in person and face the official again." Kneel down and apologize."
"What are you guilty of? You have merit, and you have great merit."
"My lord... panic."
The official bent down and put his mouth to Han Gen's ear,
Called softly:
"father……"
Han Gen suddenly opened his pupils;
The official stood up straight,
Laugh out loud:
"Hahahahaha..."
"The official family..."
"You don't believe me when I call you, but if I call you like this again when I'm lying on the bed with a sick face and dying, will you... believe it?"
"The official family..."
Han Gen's body began to twitch.
"Yan Gou once teased me that if I don't know how to do anything else, I will send my wife as a gift, okay?
But do you know where is the place where the Silver Armored Guard has sent the most gifts over the past hundred years? "
Han Gen began to breathe heavily and stretched out his finger, pointing at the official house.
The official bent down again and looked at Han Gen:
"Mugou, you are a good child, what an outstanding child, what is that, a phoenix chick!
There is a folk story: when a wealthy man wants to recognize his godson as his son, there are countless people competing to call him father;
In the same way, there are phoenix chicks who want to recognize their grandpa;
Hahaha,
Did you, Han Gen, immediately think, yes, this is my Han Gen’s seed?
Hahahahahaha!
Han Gen,
Where is your face? "
"you you you……"
"Let me tell you clearly, Mugou, he doesn't believe in Han, his surname is Zhao!
that chair,
Even if I don’t sit down anymore,
I will not let anyone who is not Zhao sit on it! "
The playful look on the official's face disappeared at this time, and instead he once again showed the majesty of the Ninth Five Supreme Being;
"Since I ascended the throne, I have been constrained by you, Han Gen, and other Renzong elders in the court.
It is you people who sing the praises of Emperor Renzong;
It is also you people who criticize Emperor Renzong;
You are flawless, as white as the wind and frost, and as proud as the plum blossoms.
But Renzong is just a fool,
Isn't it you, you guys, who really brought Da Gan to its deathbed? "
Yao Zizhan was stunned and said hurriedly:
"Guanjia... you..."
“It was that year when the Yan people entered the country and the government and the public were shaken, so I found an opportunity to clear you old people out of the court.
I am reforming and trying to make things new and strong;
I have changed the policy of emphasizing culture and restraining military force, promoting military generals, honoring their status, and then cultivating the military men's desire to serve and die!
I am organizing and training a new army, I am collecting taxes from the south of the Yangtze River, and I am going to enrich my army in the northern frontier!
I have done everything I can do, but while doing it, I still have to face you old guys who can't live comfortably at home even if you are an official, and the group of useless disciples and disciples you left behind in the court who like to hold you back!
I admire Ji Runhao, but it’s a pity that I don’t have Tian Wujing and Li Liangting;
otherwise,
I will definitely give those people who are obviously idiots but consider themselves moral pillars a bloodbath! "
At this time, the layman Wen'an said:
"The officials... have known about it for a long time?"
The official looked at the boy in front of him,
A disdainful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"Isn't it true that the silver-armored guard who is really a big boss is just a bastard?"
The layman Wen An looked confused:
"So, the official abdicated on his own initiative?"
The official raised his head and let out a long sigh:
"I have been waiting for five years in Qingxin Pavilion. I have been waiting for you for five years. You guys really made it easy for me to wait!"
The official waved his sleeves,
turn around,
Walking towards the back mountain gate,
At the same time he shouted:
“That battle was our last chance to fight against the Yan people, but we lost and went to Beijing.
From that day on, I understood that the power of the Yan people was already great!
Because I am more certain than anyone else,
The new king chosen by Ji Runhao must at least be as good as Ji Runhao, right?
I am also convinced,
That kid from Yan who dared to point at my nose and scold me for not knowing how to fight was a very interesting person.
Unless the Yan people collapse, who can stop them?
I really don’t want to be the king of this subjugated country.
Being the second to last is better than being the first to last. Leaving the second to last is often a pity, if only he could live a few more years, hahahaha.
Thousands of years later, people who read history will only record that during my reign, I cleared out the so-called Zhongzhengying Dynasty, changed the trend of emphasizing culture and suppressing military affairs, levied taxes on wealthy merchants and sea trade, organized and trained new armies, and reorganized defense!
It is a pity that he was overthrown by you Xiaoxiao usurpers. In the end, Daqian, whose poetry, etiquette, grace, splendor and splendor fascinated future generations, fell under the hooves of the Yan people! "
Master Wen An said solemnly:
"Guan family, no, it's destiny. We have regained the city and everything will fall into place..."
The official who had already reached the steps heard this and said,
Suddenly stopped,
turn around,
At this time, he was standing on the steps, looking at the boy standing below, who was even smaller.
The official pointed his finger at him,
Road:
"I also practice Taoism, I love Taoist robes, I like the mist;
I respect Master Zang,
I respect Li Xundao,
And they,
In your eyes, I am a fool who was blinded by the mortal world and gave up on the great road.
ridiculous,
You think you are right,
You think you have looked through nothingness, seen the sky, and seen destiny;
But you,
but dare not,
Take a look at this world! "
Asking layman An how he put his hands together, he quickly recited the Heart Sutra silently. At this moment, he felt that his Taoist heart was trembling and seemed to be losing control.
The officials looked over and saw Li Xundao standing there in the distance, blocked by soldiers and horses.
Let out a long roar:
"Looking for the way,
Back then, I took you down the mountain;
Today, you send me up the mountain! "
far away,
Li Xundao knelt down and said:
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
The official turned around, looked at the steps in front of him, climbed up the steps, and walked,
He couldn't help but curse:
"I'm really exhausted. That's all. I won't leave."
Now,
The official raised his left hand,
Point to the sky:
"I,
Daqian Taishang Emperor,
Ninth-level Qi Refiner,
Today the troops are disbanded.
Don’t seek to ascend to enlightenment,
I just want to be too lazy to walk on this boring bird path again! "
A ball of cyan, extremely small flames burst out from Guan Jia's shoulder, slowly infiltrating into Zhao Guan's flesh and blood.
"hiss……"
Zhao Guanjia's face was distorted, but he couldn't cry out in pain, let alone turn around, so he could only choose to bear it.
If the flame is too small, you can burn yourself to death, but it will take some time.
"Looking for the way,
Didn't you say that when the army is over, you feel a great sense of freedom?
I regret it... I should have put more thought into cultivating before, so that I could feel happier when I committed suicide. "
The small blue flame finally burned into Guan Jia's chest, causing even more severe cramping pain;
The official knelt down and put his palms on the ground.
"If I had known earlier, it would be better to bring a bottle of poisonous wine. It hurts..."
at last,
The flames reached the center of my eyebrows,
The aura of Zhao Guan's family disappeared,
The thick Taoist robe began to collapse, and the body began to gradually turn into dust, blowing away in the wind;
down the mountain,
Han Gen closed his eyes;
Yao Zizhan, the layman Wen'an, and all the soldiers all knelt down;
on the mountain,
The already empty pool,
Another lotus bloomed.
　I recommend a book by a friend, "Infinite Script Killing". Friends who are interested can read it.
