That year, that cicada, that sword
Chapter 637
Chapter 637
In Xiaoweiyang Palace.
Because the underground heating has been extinguished, the hall is extremely cold at this time, just as the atmosphere in the hall at this time is extremely cold.
His Majesty the Emperor walked out slowly from the apse, and after seeing the remaining blood on the phoenix seat, he slowly sat down on the dragon chair.
The civil and military officials and the kings in the hall are divided into left and right according to the order of their usual rosters when they go to court. Lan Yu is the first on the left, Han Xuan is next, and Wei Jin and Fu Zhongtian are on the right.Different from the cleanliness of the civil servants, the military officers still had a little smell of gunpowder smoke on their bodies, which gave the whole hall a chilling atmosphere.
Before all the civil and military officials, there were Prince Xiao Bai and the vassal kings in python robes. Looking around, there were Xiao Mohe, King of Lingwu County, Xiao Quji, King of Liangwu County, Xiao Li, King of Yan, and Mutang, King of Liao. Zhao Wang Xiaoqi is missing.
All the people in the palace are temple ministers who hold real power, and they can be regarded as the top prominent dignitaries in the imperial capital. At this time, everyone is looking at His Majesty the emperor who is sitting on the dragon chair.
Today, His Majesty the Emperor is wearing a Twelve-Chapter Clothes, which are not embroidered with dragons and pythons, but embroidered with the sun, moon and stars, which shows the majesty of the emperor even more than the usual dragon robes.
After His Majesty took his seat, he didn't rush to speak, but rested his forehead with his hands, as if he was very tired.
Zhang Baisui, the supervisor of ceremonies, came to His Majesty's side and said softly, "Your Majesty, Duanmu Ruisheng is gone. This old servant has searched within a ten-mile radius just now, but he was nowhere to be found. Presumably, he is Take advantage of the chaos and get away."
His Majesty the Emperor hummed, "He will pick the time."
Zhang Baisui said gloomyly: "Duanmu Ruisheng's intentions cannot be questioned, Your Majesty must investigate."
Xiao Xuan nodded, sat up straight, first glanced at the respectful kings and civil and military officials, and then slowly said: "Before today, I thought that the imperial court was like a cloud of masters, not inferior to Taoism at all. Not to mention civil servants The Tianji Pavilion under He Lanxiang's command, just the Tiance Mansion, the Dark Guard Mansion and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, already has a large number of people. Zhao Wuji, the governor of the Ce Mansion, and Zhang Wubing, the governor of the left army, Zha Mang, the governor of the right army, Sun Shaotang, the former commander of the army, and Yu Kuang, the commander of the rear army, all of them are top experts and famous. , I feel that I can take a big gamble, but in the end, in exchange for a mess, it's no wonder that my uncle looks down on me."
His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be talking to himself, without any complaints or anger, but the civil and military officials in the court were as silent as a cicada, especially the military officers, who directly lowered their heads, not daring to meet His Majesty's sight.
However, to everyone's surprise, His Majesty the Emperor didn't intend to ask anyone to blame. Instead, he slowly got up from the dragon chair and said, "The fault today is my fault. There is the present situation.”
Han Xuan took a step forward immediately, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty is not wrong, and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are not wrong. Those who are wrong are those disorderly officials and thieves."
His Majesty the Emperor was noncommittal, and instead asked, "Governor, how is the battle going?"
Wei Jin took a step forward and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the traitor Qu Chang'an has led his army towards Xiaoweiyang Palace."
Xiao Xuan nodded, "So, it won't be long before the cannons of my Chinese army and my mighty general are about to blow up on my head?"
Wei Jin said in a deep voice: "That's right, and the rebel army has completely blocked the road to the imperial capital. Even if the earth immortal cultivator flies through the air, he is in danger of being shot down by the thunder ballista. At this time, only the direction of Meishan is still waiting." There are enemy troops blocking."
Xiao Xuan snorted, looked at Han Xuan and asked, "Mr. Han Ge, you and Master Zhao once patrolled the Chinese Army on my behalf. How did you prepare for that event?"
Han Xuan said softly, "Just wait for His Majesty's decree."
"Let's put this aside for now." Xiao Xuan hummed, and said: "Just now, Duanmu Ruicheng, the governor of the Dark Guard Mansion, took advantage of the chaos and left. After all, Zhao Zongxian and others are literati who have never experienced swords, guns, swords and halberds. I am afraid that they will not be able to handle it, so you, Mr. Han Ge, and Prime Minister Lan escorted the prince back to the imperial capital and guarded the imperial capital."
Lan Yu and Han Xuan immediately took a step forward, and said respectfully, "I accept the order."
Sapphire, as the Earth Immortal firmly seated at the sixth place in the Heavenly Mystery Ranking, it is not difficult to bring a few people back to the imperial capital.
Xiao Xuan took out the Chuan Guoxie, and continued: "Prince, you return to the imperial capital with the Chuan Guoxie. When I am not in the imperial capital, you have the right to supervise the country. You can discuss with the two elders and decide on your own."
Xiao Bai didn't go forward to take the jade seal immediately, but asked softly: "Father, won't you return to the imperial capital?"
Xiao Xuan shook his head and said: "The king of Wei is staring at me at this time, and will never let me go back to the imperial capital easily, so you can only return to the imperial capital to preside over the overall situation on my behalf, and also bring Qi Yang, it is better to go back to the imperial capital. It's safer to stay by my side."
After a moment of silence, Xiao Bai stepped forward to take the Imperial Seal from His Majesty's hand, which symbolizes the authority of a country, and said in a deep voice, "Your servant receives the decree."
Xiao Xuan looked at Xiao Li and Wei Jin again, "The governor and King Yan immediately went to the Chinese army camp in Yanzhou, and strictly prevented the grassland army from going south."
Wei Jin hesitated to speak.
Xiao Xuan said calmly: "The rebel army in Qu Chang'an can't make any waves. Lin Han's prairie cavalry is the most serious problem. If he bypasses Shanzhou, goes straight to Yanzhou, and then crosses Xilingkou to surprise the imperial capital , This is the real way to put me to death, so Yanzhou must not make mistakes."
Wei Jin bowed and said in a deep voice: "Lin Han's army wants to pass through Yanzhou, unless it is stepping on the corpse of an old minister."
Xiao Li also echoed, "I will live and die with Yanzhou."
Xiao Xuan nodded slightly, then looked at Fu Zhongtian, "Fu Qing, go to Qizhou and closely monitor Wei Guo's every move."
Fu Zhongtian took a step forward, and said calmly: "This humble minister leads the decree."
His Majesty the Emperor stood in front of the dragon chair with his hands behind his back. After looking around the hall for a week, he said in a deep voice, "As for the other ministers, follow me to the camp of the Mausoleum Guard Army in Meishan."
After all, His Majesty the Emperor left this place first with Zhang Baisui, the chief inspector of ceremonies, and walked into the blizzard and snow outside the palace, under the astonished gaze of all the civil and military personnel in the hall.
……
Two long rainbows crossed the sky one after the other, chasing each other and heading straight for Meishan.
Seeing this scene, Lin Han's eyes were gloomy, and he suppressed his anger and said: "What the hell is Bingchen thinking? She is here to kill Xiao Xuan, not to kill that Jianzong kid. If you can't kill Xiao Xuan, even if you are a Tu What's the benefit of having a full family of Sword Extinguishing Sects?"
"Most men can't figure out a woman's mind." At this time, Xiao Jin had a leisurely feeling of staying out of the matter, "Don't be impatient, this game is far from the end, at most it is the middle game. That's all."
Lin Han turned to look at Meishan, without hiding the fearful look on his face, "That's Meishan!"
Xiao Jin said indifferently: "Are you afraid that Xiao Yu will jump out of the grave and kill us both? In fact, there is no need for it. The world and the earth work together, and heroes are not free. The era belonging to Xiao Yu has passed, even if he If he is not dead, the general situation is not with him."
Lin Han was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's our turn."
Xiao Jin stretched out her hand and clenched it into a fist, and said softly: "The so-called chess game is simply a gamble. The word 'gambling' is not pleasant, but I can't find a more appropriate word to replace it. That's the thing. With a 'snap', push it up. Because of this, when things come to an end, it is inevitable to panic and tremble, but what are you panicking about? Why are you shaking? No matter what you say, I will do it first!"
