This news made the people in the entire capital fuck.

No matter how the civilians or officials evaluate the current situation, they all sincerely agree with the emperor's actions.

Since the beginning of spring this year, the Huachao has been full of droughts and disasters, and the farmland is deserted and the spring sowing cannot proceed smoothly. Countless people are displaced, and these bad news has made many people worry about their lives. The emperor's sacrifice to heaven undoubtedly gave the people the greatest comfort. The people suddenly discovered that the emperor who had been living in the deep palace and had not left the palace for many years was also concerned about their life and death.

Therefore, whether the act of offering sacrifices to heaven is effective or not, it is very exciting to the people. In an ancient country where agriculture is the pillar of people's livelihood, in the hearts of the people who rely on the heaven to make a living. Sacrifice to heaven is a very mysterious thing, which makes them have to feel awe.

It rained all night long, and the morning rain had already stopped. Birds sing in the capital, and the willows were green, and the air was mixed with the fragrance of soil, which made people feel refreshed.

At the time of the Chen Dynasty, the bells of the palace bell tower rang, and the heavy and solid gate of the central palace opened. The mighty and heroic imperial guards lined up in an orderly queue and went out first. The flags covered the sun and fluttered in the wind, showing the royal majesty while walking. Then there were the ceremonial warriors in front of the imperial palace, holding golden gourd scepters, and a large group of eunuchs and palace maids took small steps, following closely behind. Various flags, magic weapons, umbrella covers, and flag fans appeared in sequence.

The last one came out was the emperor's dragon chariot. The six-horse imperial carriage was dazzling and the Ming Dynasty's chariot was decorated with jewelry and jade, which was extremely luxurious.

When the emperor traveled, he followed like clouds, walked out of Xi'an Gate, passed through the Luzheng archway, and drove the warriors in front of him to open the road. The water was poured on the street, and all the people along the way knelt down to worship. The emperor's power, the Supreme Emperor, was ordered to be in the sky, as majestic as the mountains and as unpredictable as the sky, making people unconsciously bow their heads to worship.

After learning the Lu Zheng archway, he passed through Taiping Street. Finally, he walked outside the Taiping Gate in the north of the city. After leaving this gate, the emperor officially left the capital.

At this time, eunuch Yiluan shouted: "According to the emperor's order, the imperial guards will live there, this team of more than 10,000 people, mixed with imperial guards, eunuchs, palace maids, etc., stopped in an instant.

The bead curtain of the dragon chariot was lifted, and the emperor, wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe and a winged dragon crown, was supported by Eunuch Cao, and slowly moved out of the dragon chariot with a trembling trembling. The officials, nobles, imperial guards, eunuchs, palace maids, and the people who admired Tianyan. Seeing the emperor walking off the dragon chariot, they couldn't help but bow down and bowed, singing in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live my emperor."

The people who were kneeling and worshiping stood up and stood respectfully. The Taiping Street of tens of thousands of people was silent. It was as quiet as if dead.

The emperor's eyes widened slightly, glanced around the crowd of people standing in a conspicuous corner, and found that Fang Zheng was also imitating the officials as if he was looking at his nose and his heart. He stood still without moving.

However, Master Fang is obviously a person who can't sit still. No one can play with him, so he plays by himself. At this time, he is trying to see the tip of his nose clearly with his eyes, which is a good explanation of what is "eye viewing the nose, nose viewing the heart". So" he has now become a cross-eye and is still playing with it endlessly, and he doesn't know what the fun of this way of playing is.

Seeing him like this, the emperor couldn't help but smile in his eyes, with a bit of doting, as if he was looking at his naughty child. Then he sighed again, and he couldn't help but feel worried.

The defense of the capital was handed over to such a person. I really don’t know if it was the most wrong decision that Lian made in his life.

After a slight gesture to Eunuch Cao, Eunuch Cao immediately took a step forward and shouted loudly: "The emperor has an order, Mr. Xuan Zhongyong, the garrison general Fang Zheng, came forward to meet him, and Qin Chong, deputy general of the Xuancheng Defense Army, came forward to pay homage.

”

In the crowd, Fang Zheng, who was playing for no reason, was gently patted by the officials beside him and whispered: "Master Fang, Master Fang! The Emperor is calling you."

Fang Zheng, whose eyes and nose were fighting for a long time, returned to normal cross-eye. Then he felt dizzy and shook his head and cried: "Cross eyes can't be played forever, oh, "I'm so dizzy."

The officials beside them were full of black lines:,”

Before appraising the emperor, the emperor looked majestic at the two young generals in front of him. Fang Zheng looked lazy. Even when he stood in front of the emperor, he kept making small moves, scratching his head and scratching his face from time to time. Qin Chong beside Fang Zheng had a solemn and calm face, with a firm gaze and a strong face. The fierceness of the general and the elegance of the literati seemed to be able to find a shadow in him.

"For the two generals, the defense of the capital is crucial. In the past few days of joint sacrifice to heaven, the capital has entrusted it to both of you." The emperor said earnestly.

Fang Zheng looked upright when he heard this, and he clasped his fists solemnly and said sternly: "Prince, please rest assured. I will handle the defense of the capital in an orderly manner, as tight as an iron barrel, and wait for the emperor to return to Beijing."

Then Fang Zheng added in his heart: "Before Weichen escaped.

Mu Chong also hurriedly clasped his fists to respond.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, then stared at Qin Chong with a deep and solemn look. After a long time, he suddenly asked, "General Qin, what are the Three Bonds?"

Qin Chong was stunned and hurriedly replied: "The king is the leader of the minister, the father is the leader of the son, and the husband is the leader of the wife."

The emperor nodded, looked at him meaningfully, and murmured: "Well said, well said, well said

”

Then the emperor turned around and ordered calmly: "Let's go."

Then the emperor, with the support of Eunuch Cao, climbed the dragon chariot with difficulty. The moment the pearl curtain fell, he left a desolate and old figure with Fang Zheng and Qin Chong.

Eunuch Cao shook the whisk lightly and shouted loudly: "According to the sages and departing, the vast team immediately began to move slowly again.

The prince's appraisal followed the emperor's six-horse carriage. When passing by Fang Zheng and Qin Chong, the prince gently lifted the curtain and gave Fang Zheng a strange and inexplicable smile. Then he quickly glanced at Qin Chong, but his eyes became a little sharp and gloomy.

Outside Taiping Gate, only Fang Zheng and Qin Chong stood with different expressions of respect until the emperor's ceremonial guards left the city gate, and the two stood up straight.

Fang Zheng turned his head and saw Qin Chong's expression a little bit arrogant. It seemed that the emperor's seemingly inexplicable question had quietly taken root in his heart, causing his mood to begin to fluctuate.

The two turned around and climbed to the north city tower again, watching the emperor's clerk gradually walk away. Qin Chong turned his head inadvertently. Seeing Fang Zheng's expression was solemn, his eyes had never been so serious about the front, his brows were tightly locked, and he was thinking about something important.

Qin Chong sighed slightly when he saw this. The situation was getting clearer. He and Fang Zheng (read computer) were about to separate their enemies and friends today. At this time, Fang Zheng was just like his mood and was also thinking about this question? The scene of Fang Zheng bravely capturing the robbers on the street that day appeared in Qin Chong's mind again. The young minister was in a high position and still thought about the peace of the people. Unfortunately, he seemed to have no chance to make friends with him in this life.

At this time, Fang Zheng, with a solemn expression, suddenly raised his hand, pointed at Jianjia, and said to Qin Chong with a serious expression: "Please see, General Qin, please see

Qin Zhong's heart hopped and hurriedly looked at him. But at the end of the Jianjia team, a group of flag fans were holding banners and palace maids in Huang Luozhou lined up, following the team closely, slowly moving forward.

Qin Chong looked at it for a long time but couldn't see Ran Duanni. He couldn't help but wonder: "What did General Fang find out?"

Did the prince still arrange assassins in the team? Did Fang Zheng find any suspicion?

Fang Zheng shook his head seriously and looked ahead. He said in a deep voice: "Did you see the palace maid walking at the end holding a banner fan?"

Qin Chong looked at it and nodded.

"That palace maid" Fang Zheng pondered for a moment, then his expression changed, and he began to laugh irresistibly, and said with a breath while laughing: "The palace maid's ** is actually big and small, and he twists and turns when walking, like hemorrhoids. It's so damn funny! Oh, alive, hahahahahaha.

Cold sweat flowed down from Qin Chong's forehead,

This is a **!

Qin Chong, whose veins stormed around his neck, officially settled the conclusion.

On the north city tower, Fang Zheng and Qin Chong stood facing north. The emperor's appraisal had already gone far away, and the ceremonial guards of more than 10,000 people were gone, but the two were still standing straight on the city tower, with different expressions on their faces.

Behind the two, the city defense soldiers in bright clothes and armor were walking in teams to patrol the sword. When they passed behind the two generals, the soldiers couldn't help but look at them with curious eyes. They stood firmly for more than half an hour. Could it be that the two generals practiced martial arts together?

Only by the beacon tower not far from them. More than a dozen senior generals of the city defense force stared at Fang Zheng with their eyes not very friendly.

"General Qin, where will the city defense force go?" After a long time, Fang Zheng looked ahead, but didn't even look at Qin Chong, and asked.

I don’t have time to go around him anymore. In order for the emperor’s plan to succeed, there are only two ways to go today. One is to kill Qin Chong on the spot, and the other is to convince Qin Chong to surrender. There is no other way.

Qin Chong's face looked painful, his lips stuttered a few times, and suddenly he calmed down again, and said calmly: "If General Fang's answer is dissatisfied with General Fang, will the general kill me on the spot and then control the city defense force?"

Fang Zheng smiled, not saying anything.

Qin Chong turned his head and glanced at Fang Zheng. He said, "General Fang, more than 50,000 troops of the city defense army are in my hands. Can you kill me?"

Fang Zheng blinked and smiled, "If General Qin is obsessed with it, he must be the traitor who everyone despises. If he can't say that, I have to give it a try," he said.

Rebellious traitor!

This word is like a thunderbolt, slashing directly on Qin Chong's head, and Qin Chong's face instantly lost its blood color and became extremely pale.

"I" is not a traitor!" Qin Chong clenched his fists angrily and tried hard to argue. But even he felt guilty about this, and assisted the prince in killing the throne. What is it that he is not a traitor?

Since childhood, I have read military books, read thousands of books, studied martial arts diligently, and remembered the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues. Over the years, there is only one belief that supports me, that is, learning civil and martial arts, goods and the imperial family. Once upon a time, I became the murderer of Yu's attempt to kill the emperor? At this moment, Qin Zhong's heart was like thousands of arrows piercing his heart. Fang Zheng's words mercilessly revealed his inner struggles and contradictions.

Seeing Qin Chong's increasingly pale face, Fang Zheng sneered: "General Qin, it's not important to be a traitor. There are more evil people in the world, and you don't have many, but you don't have many, but you don't turn the more than 50,000 soldiers of the city defense army into rebels. Rebellion troops! They will be killed by your pound. If they die, they will be charged with a rebel. Not only will their families not receive the court's pension, but they will be all over the border, slaves and servants because of your stupid decision for a moment. These soldiers will only leave a lifetime of infamy that will harm the country and the people. All of these are harmed by your decision by Qin Chong!"

Qin Chongru was struck by lightning, and cold sweats as big as beans on his face kept flowing out, and his burly and strong body couldn't help but start to tremble slightly. The struggle and pain in his eyes clearly fell into Fang Zheng's eyes.

"Qin Chong! Don't commit sins! Wake up!" Fang Zheng shouted suddenly: "The king is the leader of the minister. This is your personal answer to the emperor. Do you really want to ignore the righteousness of the king and his subjects and leave a eternal infamy for yourself and more than 50,000 soldiers?"

Shenlie Mountain is only a few dozen miles away from the capital. It is located in the north of the capital. It is a high-tech mountain. The main peak is only a few hundred feet north of the capital, but it is vast, more than ten miles long from east to west and nearly ten miles wide from north to south. It is the highest mountain within the radius of the capital.

At the time of the previous dynasty, the Xiaoling Mausoleum was built, and the first Nongtan Temple and the Temple of Heaven. The places where emperors of all dynasties worshiped the sky were placed on the Temple of Heaven on the top of Shenlie Mountain.

The emperor's apprenticeship was less than ten miles away from Shenlie Mountain. The guard of honor of more than 10,000 people moved slowly and slowly, and the entire team seemed quiet and solemn.

At this time, a fast horse was galloping from south to north. The horse knight held a waist sign of the imperial guards in his hand. After seeing this, the imperial guards who were guarding the emperor's guards, they put away their guards and let the fast horse run to the left of the emperor's guards.

Going closer to the tightly layered bead curtains on the side of the emperor's arcade, the knight whispered: "Emperor, Prince, have left the ceremonial war."

"What?" Within the time of the archaeology, the emperor's old body seemed to shake slightly, and then his whole body seemed to be overwhelmed and gradually collapsed in a weak state.

"He" finally chose this path." The emperor's voice was filled with endless pain and sorrow.

The knight continued to report: "After leaving the capital for more than 20 miles, the prince's imperial lord slowed down. He gradually landed at the end of the ceremonial guard. Later, hundreds of people surrounded the prince and took him down. The prince abandoned the imperial lord, rode his horse, and went west under their gang."

Within the auditorium, the emperor remained silent for a long time. He was like a wooden carving Bodhisattva, motionless.

The knight quipped his lips and tentatively said: "Emperor, do you need the last general to lead more than a thousand imperial guards to recover the prince?"

After a long time, the emperor's sigh came from the arcade: "Forget it, let him go. What should come will come sooner or later. Can you avoid this happening by chasing him? The army has already started, and the connections with him are all arrows on the string.

On Shenlie Mountain, the emperor slowly walked up to the Temple of Heaven. The wind was fierce and he stood with his hands behind his back. He looked up at the sky and saw the clouds rolling and unfolding in the sky, the wind and clouds surging, their shapes changed, and their meaning was strange.

The civil and military ministers knelt down under the Temple of Heaven. They quietly looked at the emperor as if they were independent of the sky. They warmed the people, and the world was alone, and they were above everything. This was the real Supreme Nine Five. When the ministers looked at the emperor's eyes, they felt a little more awe and surrender.

After staring at the Temple of Heaven for a long time, the emperor slowly turned around and faced the ministers, saying word by word: "There are so many difficulties in the Chinese dynasty, and the people are uneasy. Lian has been the emperor for more than 40 years, and his behavior and deeds have been wrong. He violated the will of heaven and violated the harmony of others. Therefore, he brought disaster to the people to show punishment. What is the fault of the people? Being affected by the Mons disaster is all the crime of Lian! Therefore, before worshiping the heaven and praying for blessings, Lian issued a letter of guilt to the subjects and people in the world to save themselves from their own faults and to warn future generations."

After saying that, the emperor nodded slightly to Eunuch Cao.

Eunuch Cao took a step forward with a yellow silk in his hand. He slowly unfolded the yellow silk in front of all the ministers and officials. He recited one by one: "The united virtue is not the same as the danger of the country, and the disaster of the temple has not been supported. He has returned for more than 40 years. He has repeatedly committed peace in his deeds and actions, and has lost his morality and lenient justice. The world is not in peace and prosperity, and the people have no fault. All the sins are given to one person."

At this moment, I suddenly heard a cannon sound at the foot of the mountain, followed by a faint shout of killing gradually. The gray top of the mountain was suddenly shrouded in a fierce and murderous aura.

All the civil and military officials who were kneeling down at the Temple of Heaven changed their colors and looked around in panic. The panic and fear suddenly spread among the ministers, and the Temple of Heaven on the top of the mountain gradually became chaotic.

At this time, everyone suddenly realized that the figure of His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince did not appear on the Temple of Heaven for some reason. After repeatedly thinking about the strange and unclearable situation in the capital recently, an ominous thought suddenly arose in the hearts of the ministers. Could it be that,

The emperor still looked at the sky with his hands behind his back, his expression calm and calm. He seemed to be unaware of it, and his tone contained a little murderous intent, and he said coldly: "Continue to recite!"

Eunuch Cao shook for a moment, and immediately regained his calmness. He spread the yellow silk to continue to recite: "There are troubles in all directions but they are not alert, the people are displaced but they do not know, and the husband's responsibilities are ignorant of the father's way. As a result, the people are famine, the prince is in conflict, and they reflect on themselves. They are very guilty of the heroes of their ancestors and the ghosts and gods in the temple.

The shouts of killing at the foot of the mountain seemed to be getting closer and closer. As close as if they were right beside me, the expressions of the ministers became more and more frightened and more uneasy.

The emperor closed his eyes and stood motionless in front of all officials, turning a deaf ear to the movements and stillness at the foot of the mountain, as if he had entered a state of meditation.

It's so long.

Eunuch Cao carefully woke up the contemplative emperor: "Emperor, I have read the edict of guilt.

The emperor had a gloomy face, his eyes slowly glanced at the frightened civil and military officials, and said slowly: "Lian has not been a wise emperor for more than 40 years, but "diligence, two words. Lian is worthy of his heart. Lian treats the people and subjects like parents and children, not bloody or pretentious, and does his best to make our Celestial Celestial Old Man and have a support for the young. The king, saint, minister, and wise, create a prosperous era with all the people. But why do so many people want to rebel? In the past, Pan Wenyuan usurped power and rebelled, and Pan Wenyuan was killed and suppressed by Lian. Today, one year later, the one who wanted to rebel was the eldest son of Lian, and the crown prince was appointed ten years ago!"

As the sound of shouting to kill him was getting closer, the emperor closed his eyes in pain, and two lines of turbid tears slowly flowed out. His face, covered with wrinkles and old-fashioned spots, suddenly filled with tears.

The ministers had different expressions, and their fear gradually calmed down. The ministers had experienced many years of storms. How could they not know what had happened?

The ministers looked at each other, and the same signal was conveyed in their eyes. The prince, indeed, turned around!
Chapter completed!
