The first thousand two hundred and forty-two thieves (2)
It's dawn!
The red sun was rising, and the armor on Zhang Yue's body shone brightly. Hundreds of eagle soldiers followed him silently, surrounded him, and climbed to the Jade Hall step by step.
The blood on the steps of the hall has not dried up yet.
There are still pools of blood in many places.
In the distance, the fire in the Weiyang Palace is still spreading. Although it has been controlled, it is not easy to put out the fire in such a season and in such an environment?
"General!"
Xu Xiangru and a team of soldiers chased after him: "The rebel Huo Guang led his troops to escape outside the city in the early morning. It is now known that he fled to Wuzha Palace!"
"Send someone to pursue him!" Zhang Yue ordered without looking back: "Xiaoyu's generals, whoever wins Guangshou will be granted a marquis and rewarded a thousand gold medals!"
Not long ago, before Zhang Yue came to the Jade Hall, someone had already come to mourn: Queen Wei committed suicide by drinking poisonous wine last night, while Prince Liu Jin was surrounded by Huo Guang in the side hall next to Shiqu Pavilion during the incident last night.
When Kim Il led his army to arrive, a raging fire had already lit up in the side hall.
Liu Jin's whereabouts are self-evident.
And Crown Prince Liu Ju was also discovered an hour ago.
He fell in front of the door, with more than ten arrows in his body, and his close minister Zhang He died not far from him.
Including Kong Anguo, Wang Yi and other close ministers of the prince who have been confirmed to be arrested.
There is also Huo Guang, who was just discovered. Most of the people involved in this accident have died and been defeated.
And there is only one winner, Zhang Zizhong!
Holding the Piao Yao Sword at his waist, Zhang Yue felt a lot of emotion.
"Your Majesty..." He raised his head and looked at the Majestic Jade Hall: "After all, you forced me to this point..."
He originally wanted to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.
Just like Cao Mengde wanted to conquer the Eastern General for the Han Dynasty.
However, in the world, people will be confused and their destiny will change.
The general trend of history is coming, and the personal will of those who are in the situation are never caused.
Just like him, if you don’t resist or struggle, you will end up in a gray state.
If you don’t want to die, you can only let others die.
This has always been the case in the world.
If you want to blame, you can only blame him for not being Yue Wumu or Meng Tian. He is not so stupid and loyal, and will not surrender and wait for the cut.
So, he fought hard, seized the contradictions and chaos of all parties, and finally picked the fruit of victory.
only……
I wonder what the old owner of the Jade Hall Palace is thinking now?
"I really want to ask him..." Zhang Yue sighed.
At this point, the old emperor in the Yutang Hall has to bear at least half of the responsibility.
So, Zhang Yue carried his sword and led his generals straight into the hall from the front of the Yutang Hall.
At this moment, the entire inside and outside of the jade hall had been controlled by Zhang Yue.
The Imperial Army and the Northern Army have surrendered to him.
Sang Hongyang, Shangguan Jie, Zhao Chongguo and others, half an hour ago, held official seals and military talismans, and bowed to him.
Now, the old emperor in the Yutang Hall has become a truly lonely man.
From the front hall to the back bedroom, hundreds of soldiers opened their way in front, storming.
Zhang Yue and his party arrived in front of the lord under the trepidation of the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace.
The old emperor sat on the imperial throne, his eyes slightly red, his expression haggard and depressed.
Zhang Yue looked up at him, then stepped forward, and still kowtowed in the manners and tone of his ministers, "My dear Ying, General Yang, was ordered to quell the rebellion. He has now driven all the rioters out of the palace and are strangling them with all their might. Therefore, he led his meritorious soldiers here to come here to bow their heads and worship His Majesty the Emperor, and hoped that Your Majesty would issue an edict..."
So, behind Zhang Yue, dozens of generals bowed and bowed again: "I hope Your Majesty will issue an edict!"
The old emperor came to his senses, looked at the vast general in front of him, and then at the General Ying Yang who was pausing his head in front of the imperial court.
He was full of bitterness and despair.
Because he already knew the result.
The grandson was buried in the sea of fire, and his corpse was not yet traced.
The prince buried in the palace and the queen committed suicide.
The ministers and nobles inside and outside the Jade Hall either died or ran away or knelt in front of General Ying Yang, bowing down and admitting defeat.
He, the emperor, finally became a lonely man.
Thinking of this, the old emperor burst into laughter, tears of laughter.
"Yinghou! General Ying Yang..."
"What do you want to do? Do you sit on my throne?"
"How dare you?" Zhang Yue naturally denied it and bowed his head and bowed: "Now that the country has changed a lot and the country is in danger, I am worried. I only hope that Your Majesty will cheer up, grant me power, rectify the chaos, and establish a new court plan..."
The other generals bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I all think that the country is in danger of overthrow and the world is in danger of collapse. If you don't have the Yinghou, you cannot save the world and support the country!"
Xu Xiangru even stepped forward and said nakedly: "Your Majesty, I think it is necessary to worship Ying Hou as the general and the chief commander of the prime minister, and specially grant swords and shoes to the palace, praise the right to worship him without being named and not to follow the court, and to be the chief commander of the military and national affairs inside and outside!"
Shangguan Jie, who had just joined Zhang Yue's camp, also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, today, can there be anything else that can relieve worries in addition to allowing Ying Hou to take charge of the court and lead the affairs of the world inside and outside?"
"Now, the prince committed rebellion and died in the chaos of the army. His Highness the Grand Prince was buried in the sea of fire. His great-grandson was still in his infancy. His Majesty is nearly 70 years old. Shouldn't you entrust your country to Yinghou, just like King Wu of Zhou entrusting the country to Duke Zhou?"
The old emperor became silent.
He naturally knew that the people in front of him were forcing the palace.
I also understand that they are right.
Now, is he still having other choices besides appointing General Zhang Zizhong to take charge of military and national affairs at home and abroad?
there is none left!
Moreover, he could only hope that this Yinghou could retain his last loyalty to the Han Dynasty.
In this way, his descendants may still have the moment when Taijia returns to power and become the king in charge of power.
So the old emperor lowered his head and sighed softly: "What you said is very true!"
"Now, only Yinghou can save the country and the world..."
"Well...well..."
"I will be the general and the chief magistrate, and the prime minister, and the British Duke. He had a fief of 100,000 households. He ordered Xu Jianlu to go to the hall, praise him and worship him without a name, and he did not go to the court. He will be the general and the national affairs of the internal and external affairs, and assist the emperor's great-grandson!"
"The great-grandson of the emperor was the crown prince, and he gave him a name to inquire... and ordered the Duke of England to assist..."
"All the heroes and generals are allowed to be marquises, and the British Duke will fully handle the rewards..."
The old emperor said calmly.
Zhang Yue listened and knew that even now, this old emperor was still thinking about balance, trying to stumbling to him, and trying to praise him.
Therefore, Zhang Yue bowed his head and bowed: "I am afraid, how dare I accept the importance of the Duke of the State? I wish to resign from the Duke of the State and go to the palace, praise the fact that he is not named and does not follow the court!"
Just kidding, he is not yet able to do whatever he wants.
