Chapter 70 The end is empty
Bianjing, Fenglin Ferry.
The Bian River has frozen and has been suspended for several days. The busiest water transport exit in Daqi has become no longer as hustle and bustle as usual.
Especially since the prince's rebellion, the changes have arisen, and the battles in the city lasted for a long time. The two forces came and went back and forth in the West Palace, fighting endlessly. People who left the city to avoid the war would not choose the waterway to stop sailing. For a moment, the Bian River seemed to be forgotten and deserted.
A carriage capsized beside the snow-covered road, with several corpses lodged around, all of which were executed as the leader of the imperial guards. The two guards moved the last corpse out of the carriage and were about to leave when they suddenly stopped.
The sound of iron armor colliding came from a distance, and there was a vague rustling sound of walking on the snow, and a group of people faintly emerged from the fog.
The soldiers were tall, with their hair tied into a bun, long shoulders, and long swords. Not only did their skin be rough, but their leather armor was also scary, and they seemed to have been fighting in the cold and cold place outside the border for many years.
A cavalry came flying and an arrow was displayed from afar, "The court has an order, and the border troops cannot move forward."
The moving team did not pause at all, but just separated from both sides, gave way and continued to move.
A general appeared in the middle of the team, with a thick, short and fat figure, and shouted: "We have worked hard to suppress the rebellion and walked to the door and refused to let in. How could this be the case?"
"The late emperor passed away and the new emperor succeeded to the throne. Please ask this general to obey the imperial edict and not to mistake himself."
The fat general exclaimed bad luck and shouted: "I saw many soldiers along the way, but why didn't they leave? The rebel Chen Shou captured it?"
"I dare not say anything nonsense. The Zhongyong Hou has made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion. He has already been granted the Ziwei Order and has been appointed as the first rank of official position. The rebellious prince Zhao Zhe caused chaos and was buried in the fire."
"Oh my God, the situation has reversed. We have worked hard to come from Pinglu, and we have worked hard without any credit. If you go to Beijing, say it and let His Majesty the Emperor do it." After that, he turned around and ordered his subordinates to station at the ferry.
The knight was helpless and could only agree. This group of people was different from the other soldiers of the king, and they were not easy to mess with at first glance.
It turned out to be Pinglu's men, no wonder...
Pinglu was a bitter and cold place in Liaodong, and a place where Anlushan made his fortune in the late Tang Dynasty. It is said that the strength of the troops and horses is not weaker than that of Xiliang.
This group of people was called barbarians by the court because they had been living outside the border for a long time and were barbaric and difficult to tame. They fought with the Siren, Jurchens and Khitans in the north for years.
Now that we have arrived at the city of Bianliang, it is really hard to deal with. It is really difficult for them to come so far away. Although it seems that they are coming the latest, combined with their garrison, they are actually the fastest marching.

"Your Majesty, you have succeeded to the throne, so it is not appropriate for several princes to live in the palace again."
In the imperial city, Zhao Cai listened to Chen Shou's words and felt it made sense.
All his father and brothers were dead, and among the few princes, there were actually more qualified to inherit the throne than him.
The second brother is the queen's biological son. He nodded and said, "Marquis Zhongyong is right, but it's better to let them go wherever they go? And those princesses are also time to Shang's prince consort."
This kid wants to drive all his brothers and sisters out so that he can feel like he is headed in this palace. He is such a cruel person.
"This matter is very important, so it is better to summon Wei Xiang to the palace. Let the three of us discuss together."
Zhao Cai nodded and thought to himself that General Li Xin was about to leave, he told me that Chen Shou and Wei Yun were incompatible. Now it seems that he was thinking too much.
From now on, if they assist me together, the ministers in the court will definitely be obedient, and both of them will become my loyal ministers.
Thinking of this, Zhao Cai smiled and immediately asked the eunuchs around him to tell him that Wei Yunse had entered the palace and discussed the issue of his two brothers on the vassal.
Wei Yunse did not doubt that he was there, and he brought the guards to the palace carefully, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived at the palace gate.
He sent someone to assassinate Chen Shou, and he could use such methods himself, let alone the Chen Shou who was generous.
However, he believed that the two were still allies now, and he was determined to kill Chen Shou, but he did not expect that Chen Shou would have greater desire to die.
The snow was very strong. Wei Yunse got off the carriage and was soon covered by snow. He shook the snowflakes on his body. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty asked the two princes to take the vassal state. This is a major national event, and we must not delay it."
He was very happy because there was great potential for this matter. The country and the country are not stable now. If one of the princes could be granted a vassal in the two Huai Rivers.
Once the world is in chaos, this is a good bargaining chip, and you can even support the prince to become emperor.
Wei Yunse walked in excitedly and walked to the square outside Daqing Hall, only to find that the atmosphere was wrong.
As soon as he came in, the palace gate behind him was closed. His guards could not be brought into the palace, but Wei Yunse never expected that someone would cause him to take action in the palace.
On both sides of the square, suddenly teams of guards stood up, and the steel knives in their hands were lit up and slowly approaching.
In the center of the square, Wei Yunse had a trace of the demeanor that the ruthless man who was the ruthless man in charge of the world should have, and said loudly: "Who is the rat? Let the way open up!"
No one answered him, and his voice was particularly loud in the empty square.
The rustling snowflakes fell from the drowsy sky, and the guards approached step by step.
Wei Yunse's hands hangs, and decades of memories surge in his heart. He became famous at a young age, and he won the gold list and was incredible.
Then, he was suppressed and excluded, and in the officialdom of Lianghuai, he used his own means to subdue wealthy merchants and gentry and local sages in Lianghuai.
Because he was the first in taxes every year, he was valued by Emperor Gengyuan and transferred to the capital to rise to the top.
The guards who were slowly approaching were like gods of death, and there was only Wei Yunse in their eyes.
It is called "Daily Day" and "Daily Earth" and "Daily Earth" are called "Wei Yunse's state of mind at this time."
He has boundless power, he has an army of 100,000, he has countless staff members, his disciples and former officials are everywhere in the officialdom, and his money and jewelry are piled up.
He secretly colluded with Nan Tang, and his close relationship with the Khitan. Any of these conditions can allow ordinary people to live like gods.
Unfortunately, it is useless now. Wei Yunse opened her mouth wide, but she didn't know what to shout. Her hoarse voice was a little desperate, and she forced two words out:
"Chen...Shou!"
A sharp blade passed through the chest, and the blood at the tip of the knife emitted white heat.
Wei Yunse looked at his chest and looked up at the guard who killed him. This man was so humble that he might not have looked at him before.
But he easily took his life, and half of his life planned, but in the end he was in vain.
Wei Yunse's body slowly fell into the snow, and blood flowed all over the ground, dyeing the surrounding snow red.
