Chapter 1055 1056 [If Heaven is sentimental, Heaven will also grow old] (4)

After the dead soldiers of the Hubao Battalion opened the city gate, the heavy-armored infantry of the Longshan Guards of the Western Camp of the Beijing Army passed through the door opening and advanced in order.

The situation on the battlefield instantly reversed. The two hundred men brought by Yin Dao and Gu Zong were the core of Pei Cheng's command. Before following Pei Cheng to Kyoto, they were soldiers of Jingyu Camp in Hucheng in the Western Region.

They have been competing with the Xiwu Rangers on the Gaoyang Plain all year round. Their strength and morale are not weaker than any strong army. Facing the rebels with heavy armored infantry as the tip of their sword and two wings of dead soldiers from the Tiger and Leopard Battalion, this

Two hundred warriors tenaciously resisted the first wave of offensive.

Even though they paid a huge price, they still blocked the rebels near the city gate.

The opportunity on the battlefield was fleeting. The reinforcements from the garrison division had arrived, but instead of descending from the city wall, they rushed quickly along the main street in the east-west direction.

Three thousand elite infantrymen with high morale and the heavily armored infantrymen of Longshan Guard started an extremely brutal fight at the west gate.

On the city wall, Pei Cheng breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the report. Fortunately, the coach Xiao Jin made careful preparations. Even though he did not expect Wang Pingzhang to dig a tunnel in advance, the rebels did not break through the West City after all.

The narrow terrain at the city gate meant that the heavily armored infantry would not be able to exert their full strength. It was only a matter of time before they were driven back by reinforcements.

In the distant south tower, Xiao Jin held a sword in both hands. After listening to the herald's report, he said calmly: "Inform Hejian Marquis Li Zi that I will guard for two more hours to prepare the imperial army to meet the enemy.

"

"Follow the order!"

The court seemed peaceful and peaceful, but in fact there were undercurrents everywhere. As the supreme emperor, he could not leave the new emperor to a court full of crises.

Xiao Jin withdrew his gaze and ignored the raging offensive of the rebels. He looked at the north calmly and said silently in his heart: "Your Majesty said you will definitely show up. Although I am skeptical about this, I still hope that you will not disappoint Your Majesty.

"

At the same time, Nancheng commander Mao Xiang said loudly: "Master Marquis, the rebel offensive has suddenly become fierce. I suspect that Luo Huanzhang has come to the battle in person."

Mo Haoli said with a complex expression: "Your Majesty, at this time, the most important thing is to rest and recuperate."

After a long time, Emperor Kaiping said in a deep voice: "Jun Xing Gong, it's time to issue the secret edict."

Looking at His Majesty the Emperor, who was obviously very old to the naked eye, all the concubines in the harem burst into tears. Prince Liu Xian even knelt beside the bed and asked about Emperor Kaiping's condition, showing his pure filial piety.

Emperor Kaiping forced a smile and said softly: "I just want to say that there is no unchanging truth in the world, and there is no one who can always stick to his original intention. Even a famous official like Jun Xinggong who is destined to leave his name in history will also change according to the times.

Depending on the situation, I would make completely opposite choices. But I know that no matter what choice Jun Xinggong makes, his original intention is to consider Daliang."

Emperor Kaiping whispered three words, then with some difficulty turned his head to look at the senile leftist governor Mo Haoli, and said slowly: "I have something to say to Tongjun Xinggong. You all should step aside."

Mo Haoli remained silent.

"I'm fine."

This sentence had no beginning or end, but Emperor Kaiping obviously understood the deep meaning of the words. He did not immediately follow Mo Haoli's words. Instead, he showed a bit of reminiscing about the past and sighed: "I still remember the death of my father.

Two years ago, he

When he established his second brother as the crown prince, Jun Xinggong firmly supported him. Two years later, his second brother died of a serious illness. Wang Pingzhang persuaded me to succeed him to the throne. Many people remained silent, but it was Jun Xinggong who should speak first, so that my throne would be granted to me.

It’s settled.”

Emperor Kaiping shook his head slightly and insisted: "Everyone, please step back."

Mo Haoli sighed softly, looked at the emperor's deep eyes, and said slowly: "So your Majesty wants to see what that young man will do."

From the beginning to the end, the monarch and his ministers did not talk about Wang Pingzhang, as if Kyoto was not attacked by rebels at this moment, and the city defense was not in a precarious situation.

It was extremely quiet in the huge dormitory.

The soldiers saluted and left quickly.

Although the knife did not hit his vital part, and the poison used by the assassin was relatively common, it was not difficult for the imperial doctors to deal with it, but after all, he was an old man in his fifties, and his physical fitness was not as strong as Gu Liang's.

At the beginning of the month, a piece of news came from the harem, which made the anxious ministers ecstatic, and the tense and suffocating atmosphere was slightly relieved.

There was peace in the imperial city. Luo Ting, the right-hand ruler, after getting the permission of the Prince Supervisor, ordered all six ministers and some military officials to enter the palace, crowding the originally spacious official offices of the two governments.

There was less than half an hour left before daybreak, but not many people in the capital could sleep peacefully.

Harem, Xingqing Hall.

Emperor Kaiping, who was lying on the dragon bed, looked pale and no longer looked as handsome as before.

Everyone did not dare to delay any longer. Even though they were reluctant and worried, they could only file out.

Emperor Kaiping knew why this veteran of the Four Dynasties was silent, but he did not think he was wrong.

Everyone knew why Luo Ting did this, but until the situation became clear, no one dared to disobey this order, because behind each eunuch who delivered the order was a group of burly Forbidden Army soldiers with murderous faces.

Only he could use the word "you" in front of Emperor Kaiping.

Mo Haoli's figure seemed to be getting more and more stooped, and he lowered his head and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Kaiping looked at the familiar scene in front of him and said calmly: "Mr. Jun Xing, please take a seat."

A sad look appeared on Mo Haoli's old face, and he said: "Your Majesty, I am really old and I don't remember the stories of those years."

Mo Haoli put his hands in his sleeves and said sadly: "Your Majesty, I said before that Pei Yue is like a mirror, what you see is what you think. If your majesty can ensure that the monarch and his ministers do not trust each other, Pei Yue will

A child can lay thousands of miles of territory for Daliang, and can help His Majesty build the foundation of a prosperous age."

Emperor Kaiping asked: "Don't you think Duke Junxing wants to take a look?"

Emperor Kaiping finally woke up after being in a coma for a day and a night.

…

When Wang Pingzhang didn't plead for Wang Jiuxuan, he knew that the other party was ready to make a desperate move.

Mao Xiang gritted his teeth and said: "A humble position will definitely live up to your destiny!"

At the moment, no one knows what the battle situation is like in the outer city. Some people hope that the soldiers of the garrison division can defeat the enemy. As long as they hold on to Kyoto and wait for the border troops to come to King Qin, big changes will not happen in Daliang. Some people hope that the Beijing army can break into the city.

Take the action of changing the day and changing the day, so that you can take advantage of this situation to rise.

Emperor Kaiping smiled in relief and said: "Jun Xinggong misunderstood. That guy Pei Yue is very smart. He knows what I want to see and what he should do. Therefore, it is not him I want to see this time."

Xiao Jin came to the city wall under the protection of his own soldiers. Looking at the densely packed figures of the Beijing army below and the bloody battle not far away, he said calmly: "You are right, I can only give you three thousand more."

The troops must defend Nancheng."

Mo Haoli did not refuse, and sat down on the round stool next to him. Looking at the emperor's weak expression, he whispered after a long time: "Your Majesty, why are you doing this?"

…

Northern suburb of Kyoto, Beidaying station.

The camp gate was opened and the army came out in formation.

Pei Yue looked at the thick fog-like night with a calm and determined look on his face, and the long knife in his hand let out a bloodthirsty dragon roar.
