Chapter 28 Checkmate(1/2)
Chapter 28 of the first volume of the Shao Song Dynasty states that the city of Yanjing at this time was under the Nanjing system of the Liao Kingdom. The palace city or imperial city was located in the southwest of the city, occupying more than a quarter of the entire city.
, and the two southwest palace walls simply share the city gate with the city wall of Yanjing City... It is a typical large area, few people, and air leakage everywhere.
And this directly caused Miyagi's defense to become a big problem.
The reason why the eldest prince transferred Hezha Meng'an out was because the new army and the Yanyun clan were all in Beicheng, but unexpectedly, Taiyu and others were easily taken advantage of by Taiyu and others because they were lazy and had good silver skills.
Since He Shilie, Taiyu and others took advantage of the situation and occupied the palace city, according to their strength, they did not dare to stay in the palace city.
In this case, the Shangshutai located near the center of the city became the best choice. The area there was relatively small, but it was surrounded by walls that were built according to the palace walls, making it easy to defend, and a large hall in the center was also convenient for surveillance and control.
In fact, this was an important reason why Wu Shu chose to eradicate Nianhan at Shangshutai.
"What do you want?"
In the dusk, the dark wall of the Chancery's desk was looming under the firelight. After watching Zheng Xiunian return to the Qin Mansion to report the message, Hong Ya suddenly noticed Qin Hui's still hesitant posture, and then immediately stepped forward to inquire.
"I'm wondering if I should go back to the eldest prince." Qin Hui lowered his voice in the dark night. "If necessary, persuade him to come over in person to see the saint."
Hong Ya frowned for a moment because he instinctively sensed the other party's cunning.
After all, even at this point, the situation is only a 50% victory or defeat situation, and if he still openly insists on being the prince's party at this time, then if things don't work out tonight, he Qin Huizhi may
He can also get rid of suspicion through confusion and a certain tacit silence; and if everything happens tonight, this guy will still be recognized as a major contributor here.
All I can say is that it is a good plan.
But at the same time, Hong Ya also had to admit that with the king in hand and the chancellery right in front of him, the war between Lubu and Jiaguwulibu to suppress the private soldiers of the new armies of the three major tribes was irreversible. The most important thing at this time was
The first thing is to quickly get the eldest prince himself to the Chancellor's Desk... It doesn't matter whether he is tricked, lured here, locked up at the right time, or forced to shoot with an arrow outside the main gate of the Secretariat.
The eldest prince brought it under control.
At this time, Qin Hui, who had no obvious flaws, returned to the eldest prince and urged the eldest prince to come to the Chancellor from an internal perspective, which was of course beneficial to the situation.
Therefore, Hong Ya just frowned, but did not object, not even snorted coldly.
Seeing that Hong Ya had no objection, Qin Hui made up his mind and took the initiative to talk to Wanyan Talan and He Shilie Taiyu to express his feelings. As expected, the two people did not express any unnecessary words and actually let him leave calmly.
In the dark, Qin Hui secretly left with a few guards, without attracting anyone else's attention. Soon, under the protection of a group of soldiers and horses, the king and his wife, Wanyan Hela, were riding on a horse.
After meeting with Queen Pei Man, they also arrived in front of the Chancellor's Desk.
Let's say that the chaos in Yanjing City has been large enough now, no matter the movement or the scope. Of course, the Shangshutai also heard the movement and reacted at this time. When everyone arrived at the outer gate of the Shangshutai, the door was closed tightly and the upper part
There are also illuminated braziers and soldiers armed with weapons behind the high walls.
However, all this quickly collapsed when Ulin answered Zanmo who took the initiative to come to the door and said:
"I am Wulin Dazanmo, the Minister of Rites. The king and the queen are both here. Marshal Talan, Yin Shu Ke Dutong, General He Shilie, and Hong Chengzhi are also here. Please open the door quickly to welcome us!"
With just a shout, the soldiers behind the wall panicked, and within a moment, the door to the chancery opened.
Everyone rushed in to protect the king and the queen. When they saw that the interior of the Chancellor's desk was still dark, Ta Lai was even more hasty and scolded them, asking the soldiers to stay behind. The queen fell down... Of course, everyone knew it, and this was the main hall where the surveillance center was located.
And soon, as people quickly poured into the main hall, the entire Chancery Hall quickly became brighter, so that it felt like bright lights, and it kept getting brighter... and even gradually became too bright.
A few dozen steps away from the central hall of Shangshutai, Ta Lan and He Shilie, who were walking on both sides of the monarch and his wife, seemed to notice something first, and then began to slow down slowly, trying to observe.
But it was completely too late.
The evening wind howled and the fire was dazzling. The doors of the central hall of Shangshutai suddenly opened. Hundreds of soldiers poured out from the four side doors. In the middle of the crowd of soldiers, several figures suddenly appeared in front of everyone. before.
Not to mention this, more soldiers also poured out from the outer side halls and side rooms.
At this moment, unlike the few people beside him who stopped in a hurry and even instinctively raised their swords to be alert, the king Wanyan Hela was not surprised but overjoyed, and actually went forward directly:
"Fourth uncle! Mr. Xiyin!"
These two titles made Hong Ya's heart sink into the valley further back, and also made most of the palace guards and Heshi Lieutenant officers who came with him completely panic.
The sullen Wanyan Xiyin stepped forward to support Hela, but Wanyan Wushu, who was standing behind the hall door, just nodded slightly towards Hela, and then limped out of the hall with the help of the Grand Master's slave. When he came to the front of the hall, he just glanced at He Shilie Taiyu, Wanyan Talan, Wanyan Yinshu, several people, and of course Hong Ya, and he was completely chilled.
After a hard day's work, I ended up falling into someone else's trap!
Of course, there were also those who behaved calmly. Wulin Dazanmo, who had been at the front of the team, did not hesitate, directly supported the somewhat confused little queen, bowed her head, walked forward, and turned to the door to look for the king and Xiyin.
"Uncle Lazy, General Yin Shuke, General Taiyu."
I don’t know why, even though the ambush was successful, Wu Shu standing on the steps of the Chancellor didn’t have that overwhelming aura at all. Instead, he had the same bitterness as he did here during the day. “I’ll say it first... I know. Despite your difficulties, I am not going to hold anyone responsible for breaking into the palace today... But if you feel unwilling and want to try again, we are more than ten steps apart, why not come over and kill me with a knife? I will kill you today. Not wearing armor."
Ta Lan opened his mouth, but no sound came out. Just like Yin Shu, he only looked at He Shilie Taiyu.
And He Shilietaiyu was silent for a long time while holding the sword in his hand, and then he spoke with difficulty: "Fourth Prince... If you wanted to stop the chaos, why didn't you wait in the palace from the beginning?"
"Because I really didn't want to stop you at the beginning, and I didn't know you would make such a big fuss." Wu Shu shook his head in reply. "It was Mr. Xi Yin who came to persuade me for a long time, and then I accidentally learned something that I couldn't do in my heart. We had to let go of the matter, so we had to ask General Yeluma Wu to come forward, and several private soldiers were here to serve as ministers... Even Wulin Dashangshu was temporarily sent by Prime Minister Xiyin to stop him outside the palace."
He Shilietaiyu turned back, glanced at the many people on the steps, and then glanced at the soldiers from his headquarters who were still pouring in without knowing it, as well as Yelu Mawu who was standing by the outer gate, and then finally became depressed... In the final analysis , he did not have the courage to openly attack the king of Wei, the king, the queen, the provincial minister Wanyan Xiyin, and the minister of rites Wulin Dazanmo on such an open and aboveboard occasion, when both sides were equal in strength.
In other words, from the moment Wu Shu appeared here, everyone knew that they failed.
"King Wei!"
Taiyu turned around. "You have to swear in person to pardon everyone in this office, and you have to stop the eldest prince from taking revenge afterwards, so that I can believe you..."
"I cannot make this oath."
Wu Shu let out a long sigh. "Because I said before, if I hadn't accidentally learned something that I couldn't rest assured about today, I wouldn't have come here... Everyone here today can be forgiven, but there is one person , if that matter is verified, I will definitely kill him!"
Having said this, Wu Shu looked at a figure standing farther down the steps: "Hong Chengzhi... come forward!"
Hong Ya stood where he was, knowing that today would be difficult, but for some reason, instead of being afraid, he summoned up inexplicable courage and sneered on the spot: "King Wei, you Jurchens are in chaos, but you want someone like me who has no roots and no foundation. Are the Han people here to be the scapegoats?! Do you think that everyone in Yanjing City is blind? After today, the new troops from the periphery will directly turn against you, and you will have no choice but to flee hastily. On the way to escape, it is inevitable that everyone will be suspicious and start a massacre! And the root cause of all these things today is harvesting deer, isn’t it all your fault?!”
"Hong Chengzhi, I only want to ask you one question."
Wu Shu didn't mean to refute. He calmly waited for the other party to finish scolding him before he spoke seriously. "When Xi Yin and I discussed you Han people fleeing south tonight, when we talked about you... I won't mention it when it comes to Zhen Ding. The master's slave suddenly remembered something. He said that he was harvesting deer that day and was ordered to take Yu Yunwen to sue for peace. As soon as he arrived in front of the formation, Yu Yunwen shouted that Yue Fei was coming from behind... What was going on? Yu Yunwen was at that time How do you know Yue Fei is here?"
Hong Ya was silent.
In fact, he could have continued to make some rhetorical arguments. For example, Yu Yunwen just followed the old wisdom of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and said that Wu Shu pardoned the actual rebellion, but he wanted to kill one of his people for his words. If that was not possible, he could have continued to yell and curse, and blamed Wu. Wu Shu would bite him to death because of his defeat... but he may have realized that Wu Shu would never forgive any incident related to the harvest of the deer and would never let him go tonight, so he did not do so and just remained silent in response.
Not only that, in the silence, a strange thought gradually arose in Hong Ya's heart, a strange thought that gradually made him muster up the courage to face all this.
On the other side, seeing Hong Ya's silence, Wu Shu finally exclaimed: "I know that Hong Chengzhi must be dissatisfied, and I know that you must be thinking in your heart that it was Wu Shu who defeated Huo Lu with 160,000 households. Many other incidents occurred, but the matter is consistent. No matter what, you leaked the general's information and prevented tens of thousands of separated soldiers from returning north. It's all..."
"good!"
Under the firelight, in front of the main entrance of the Yanjing Chancery, among the countless soldiers, Hong Ya's face suddenly turned red and he shouted loudly, but he still didn't dare to move even though he was facing life and death with his sword. "It's me who saved it. Yu Yunwen was killed and informed of the battle situation in the river, so your horses were not allowed to return north!"
Wu Shu was startled suddenly.
"You Di Yi people! Ignorant and without virtue! You only know how to kill and loot! It's so vulgar and ridiculous!" Hong Ya stood where he was and continued to raise his hand to point at Wu Shu in front of him, then turned to Yin Shu Ke, He Shi Lie Tai
Yu, and even Wanyan Talan. "If it weren't for the sword and the sword, do you really think that I, a dignified scholar, would be willing to flatter you in front of you who are full of fishy smell? I have long wanted to kill you all!"
"This guy actually admitted it." Yin Shuke smiled awkwardly and said something that was obviously half a beat too late, and no one paid attention to him.
"Kill him!" Talan actually felt a little sad when he heard the last sentence.
"In the past, you would have been able to talk about successes and defeats. You would have boasted about the power of soldiers and armor. You seemed to have something to say about bad habits and disgusting things. Even the smell of smell on your body seemed to be able to talk about hard work...
...Who told you to be strong? You can say anything! But now? What else do you have now?! Without the knife at your waist, if you take off this mask, what else do you have?! The money rat tail behind your head?
!”
As he spoke, Hong Ya actually took a small step forward, and this step actually caused panic from the people around him. Many armed soldiers actually took half a step back and looked at the untied man nervously.
A powerful scribe.
"kill him!"
He Shilietaiyu swallowed dryly and seemed a little impatient.
On the other hand, Wanyan Wushu and the hall behind him were silent for a moment.
After hearing the order, a guard beside Heshi Lietaiyu glanced at the silent fourth prince Wushu nervously, and then took out the knife in a panic.
"Come on, kill me! Let everyone in the world know that I, Mr. Hong, am not a traitor, but a spy who is lurking with great intentions!"
At this time, Hong Ya, who looked like a madman, no longer cared about anything.
"Wanyan Wushu, if I die today, I can still be given a reputation by you! Even though I am dead, I am still alive! But you Jurchen dogs! You just managed to escape to Huining Mansion, but what can you do? The previous generation robbed the gold beads.
They have to pay it back and continue to be poor and suffer! In order to keep the books they study, the next generation will have to kneel down to the officials in the south and be dogs, cows and sons!"
"Shut up!" The person who spoke was actually Wulin Zanmo who was snatched from the door.
"In the first battle at Huolu, you will all be dead!"
"Kill him!" Wu Linda Zanmo urged.
"Without Yanjing, the Kingdom of Jin will also perish!" Hong Ya looked ferocious, unafraid, and even took a step forward. "Come and kill!"
"Kill him quickly!" Wulin Dazanmo finally screamed from Wushu's side.
With the last words, the guard who was cowering in panic in front of Hong Ya finally stabbed him with a knife behind him, and it was just one knife. There was no miracle. Hong Ya was in unbearable pain and clutched his stomach.
He fell down and struggled, then wailed wildly, without any words left.
Like most people in this world, he is still afraid of pain and death.
The guard hurried forward and stabbed him repeatedly, and soon stabbed into the fatal place. Hong Ya also quickly lost the strength to struggle and made no more noise. He just lay under the steps in front of the Chancellor's desk, waiting helplessly.
Life dissipates.
To be continued...
