Chapter 778: Innocent Sees Punishment But Not Rewarded (Continued)
However, it was like some kind of will that made people go beyond Zhao Zhang's expectations and judgment. Just the next day, the direction of most things in Chang'an City changed subtly with a message.
First, there were 10,000 soldiers and horses from the senior military commander of the Duguan Army and the commander of the western capital of the capital, Gai Hong, who "trained" from Xiaoguan. There was also Li Changfu, the governor who returned to Fengxiang Town, who ordered his brother Li Changyan to lead 5,000 infantry and cavalry to approach the western suburbs of Chang'an, claiming to come to Chang'an to pay homage to Hejinjie and offer prisoners. He followed a group of more than 4,000 troops from Xianyang to escort a batch of captured armor and equipment, and almost at the same time arrived outside Chongxuan Gate in the north.
Immediately on the third day, a message from Tongguan came; it was said that it was a military horse under Zhuge Shuang, the governor of Heyang, Guandong. The eight thousand "king troops" led by General Li Hanzhi had arrived near Huayin City. As for why this commander of the king had been walking on the road for ten days and half a month, but Wang Chongrong, the governor of Hezhong, was closest to the distance, was not disturbed; no one cared about it for the time being.
But no matter what, such a series of changes that seem to be rising and falling have made many stakeholders in the New Dynasties of the Great Qi Dynasty breathe a sigh of relief, and their waists straightened a lot, and even their voices became louder. They all firmly expressed their support to the emperor on various occasions and fought to the end with the ulterior motives of those who had ulterior motives in the city.
Just as the Daqi court was paying attention to the attention inside and outside, we were looking forward to the new changes and changes in the situation that these leading foreign players could bring after meeting Huang Wang one after another; however, the situation that followed was once again beyond the expectations of most people.
When Yang Jingbiao, the general of the gatekeeper who was full of thought, walked out of the Zuoyintai Gate with an unexpected expression, he still felt a little lingering anger. Because he had a nail in the routine palace gate, the emperor had no name at the palace banquet where he came to see the foreign generals.
Isn’t this the most common way for people in the palace to step down when they are high or low? Isn’t it because his men and horses were involved in the previous city chaos and suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Taiping Army? If the camp leaders under his command were still intact, why should we look at the faces of these villains?
After all, since the second-ranking Taiwei of the Great Qi Dynasty, he left and refused to return in the name of fighting the enemy, many people, including him, have already understood it. As long as there is another army of people who obey orders, there will be a capital to act freely in this world. However, the Huang King has accumulated a lot of power for a long time, and the general trend of Xiaoguan Qipanling defeating the official army.
In addition, everyone's family and family members were in Chang'an, so they were able to work together to abandon the excess burden and run back all the way. They fought several times under Chang'an City and killed the blood to lay the foundation for the current situation. However, everyone was suppressed and forced to do so hard before, and when they settled down, they would inevitably rebound and recover.
Therefore, the military generals, including him, had some lenient and laissez-faire attitude towards the participation and inciting the chaos in the city; in addition to the disguised rewards and relaxation of their subordinates, it is also a product of dissatisfaction with Huang Wang's attitude and style that had been too weak and retardless, and had a mentality product of dissatisfaction with Huang Wang's previous attitude and style.
At least after the generals started, could the Taiping Army stay out of the matter and the two sides could continue to be at peace in the city? But they obviously underestimated the fierce and tough reaction of the Taiping Army to this, and they did not expect that the Grand Commander would have to protect and maintain all these things at all costs. It seemed that there was no connection or origin, as if it was the determination of a humble citizen like an ant;
So they were inevitably in danger of being in crisis under the attack of the Taiping Army. What was even more unexpected was that King Huang suddenly became speechless and calm about this. In addition to causing the palace gate to close and issue an edict to raise his vigilance and appoint his nephew Lin Yan as the full-powered nephew Lin Yan as the envoy of negotiating. There was no more proactive measures or more intense attitude. Now it was their turn to take the fruit and sit on wax.
Yang Jingbiao could only watch his sons who were scattered in the city yard, and after the pressure of Taiping Army defeated and killed one by one, he became prisoners, and was executed or demoted to hard labor in the street trial that was as purely humiliated and slapped as face-smuggled, but he tasted the helpless taste of hatred.
Therefore, since he could not obtain and seek the help of these newly arrived leaders of the troops through the opportunity to attend the palace banquet, he could only think of some solutions in private, thinking that he had saved himself and worked hard. He thought so much that he could not see the guards and followers who should have been waiting for him for a while.
Instead, a group of armored soldiers covered in clothes rushed forward, surrounded him and held him with his arms, shouting loudly:
"Yang Jingbiao, you left your post without permission and were in chaos and provoking disputes,"
"I don't agree, I have to accept it for others; at this time, the slander and frame-up will never be convinced even if I die..."
Yang Jingbiao seemed to have suddenly broken a string, and cried out loudly on the spot:
"Then please die first, and then come and ask for a dream."
The general who was responsible for capturing him suddenly came to his ear and said:
As another stakeholder, Li Zhou, the left assistant minister and guardian of the Ministry of War, was almost taken away by the soldiers of Weihe Mansion who broke into the door at the same time, he also shouted with a loud voice.
"Impossible! This is impossible! It is obviously the instruction from above! I want to see the emperor personally tell me that he is blinded!"
At the same time, the several camps and garrisons under their respective command were not surprisingly suppressed and controlled by the garrison army and Gongchen army, and had to accept the result of being disbanded and reorganized after being gathered in public and forced to disarm.
Those stakeholders, including the relatives of these generals, tribes and old friends, were also picked out and taken away one by one in the process of temporarily summoning the imperial edict. Therefore, in a short time, several troops under the command of the Daqi guards were broken and even lost to the old view after participating in the city's chaos and being suppressed.
After nightfall, at the reception banquet held in Penglai Hall of the Daming Palace in Beinet. Huang Chao, who looked more and more smiling amid the sound of raising glasses and praying for drinks and blessings, also gently touched his lips with a glass cup as clear as the sky. Then he saw some signal from the appearance of the Weihe Mansion Commander standing outside the palace gate. He couldn't help but turn his head slightly and sit intimately at the same table. Empress Cao, who was still dignified and decent, whispered:
Chapter completed!
