The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 226
"East Pavilion Gate, nothing abnormal!"

"Gardman, no threat!"

"All servants and maids gather!"

A series of voice reports came, and soldiers holding torches stationed along the main road, forming a fire dragon passing through Chengtian Gate and Taiji Gate, and extending straight to the front of Taiji Hall.

The palace was taken into custody, and the maids and servants who were concentrated in custody bowed their heads one by one. Yang Fugong, Liu Jishu and other eunuchs were also among them. They lowered their heads slightly and glanced at the road controlled by the soldiers. Three war horses came back and forth. Above one of them was a The black-faced figure in the green robe walked slowly, being led by the horse's head by the attendants.

Yang and Liu felt a little excited, and squeezed the hands hanging by their sides tightly.

The man from three years ago came back again. The difference this time is that the emperor was driven away by him, and the lives of countless people in Chang'an were in his hands.

"Big man, it should be so!"

In the whispered words, the horse's hooves of 'Tata' passed the Taiji Gate. Li Jiji got off his horse and walked up the stone steps vigorously. Looking at the majestic palace, he took a deep breath and turned back to laugh.

"Sir, Commander Zhao, did you see it? We are standing in the palace. The emperor's hall is right in front of us!"

Zhao Zhouyi turned his head to look to the side, his face was full of smiles, and he raised his hand towards Geng Qing: "Sir, please be respected by Mr. Zhao."

"Haha, yes!"

Li Jiji turned around and stepped down quickly, raised his hand and arched heavily: "If Mr. did not come up with a strange plan to turn around and attack Chang'an, we would not be able to stand here. Sir, please, let's take a look at this palace together."

He has been living in Longyou, not to mention entering the imperial palace, he has never even been to the capital, his words are filled with uncontrollable excitement, he spread his arched hands, and invited Geng Qing to come forward.

But here, Geng Qing shook his head, he is very familiar with this place, even if it is the emperor's inner garden, he has been there several times, except for the spaciousness and luxury, there is nothing new about it.

"I will go and see it with the Zhao Jun envoy after staying, and Geng has to go to Dali Temple to rescue my brother."

The two people over there probably knew that part of the reason for killing Chang'an this time was that Mr. Geng wanted to save his brother. Of course, the bigger part was to break through the emperor's conspiracy and make a name for himself. Hold on tight.

Li Jiji nodded, "Mr., let's go. I and Zhao Junshi will go inside first to see how the emperor lives, haha!"

"Stay and go together!" Zhao Zhouyi also laughed, and the two walked up the stone steps one after the other and entered the Tai Chi Hall.Geng Qing, who stayed at the bottom of the stone steps, smiled, turned around and walked out. Before entering the palace, he asked Dou Wei to take people to Dali Temple first, and Jiuyu went to Xingdefang.

Counting the time, it's almost time to come back.

Thinking of the mother and son who were still under the covers and being taken to the palace when they turned their heads, what kind of expression would they show when they saw themselves, Geng Qing couldn't help but smile when he thought about it.

Smiling, he came to the Taiji Gate and stopped. At this time, the person hadn't come yet, so he waited here, and Dachun was also waiting beside him.Among the maids and eunuchs in custody over there, someone called out: "Shangshu Geng!"

Geng Qing came back to his senses, looked around, and saw two slightly bowed figures walking out, holding the soldiers who were approaching, and waving on tiptoe.

"Yang Fugong, Liu Jishu?"

"It's the two slaves!"

The two eunuchs pressed their weapons and nodded flatteringly, pointing at Geng Qing who didn't know what to say to the soldiers, and then squeezed over, five steps away, and was stopped by the guards with their swords drawn.

"These two are acquaintances, so don't be nervous." Geng Qing raised his hand and waved, and the guards on both sides put their knives back into their sheaths, and all retreated. They were all from the green forest who followed Dou Wei before, and now they are mixed with Geng Qing. By his side, he acted as a guard, and on the bright side, he was regarded as an official.

The master's words were gentle, which made them feel comfortable. Holding the handle of the knife, the two who looked directly at them did not relax at all.

"Why are the two of you detained here?"

Geng Qing went over and bowed to the two eunuchs, one was a privy envoy, and the other was a lieutenant of the Shence Army, he was somewhat surprised that they were centralized in this way.

When the latter two were asked this question, they lowered their heads in shame. It was Yang Fugong who spoke first. He knelt tremblingly, kowtowed to the ground, and when he raised his face again, his face was covered with tears.

".Then Li Ye wants to get rid of the slaves and maids and other military powers, and has been imprisoned in the palace, making things difficult in every possible way. If I don't have more adopted sons under my command and more soldiers in my hands, sir, I am afraid that I won't be able to see the slaves and maids at this moment."

"Get up, old man, what does it look like to cry and cry, both of you are in important positions, how can you make such a gesture."

Geng Qing couldn't stand a woman crying, let alone two eunuchs crying, so he helped them up from the ground. Yang Fugong stopped crying, but he was still a little choked up. He looked around and lowered his voice: "Mr. Leading the troops to take down Chang'an, where do we go from here? According to the slaves, it is better to stay in Chang'an, such a prosperous place, rich in money and food, if the husband is determined to build a foundation. There are several sons outside the slaves, guarding the towns, can help Give me a hand, sir."

Good guy, is this trying to push me to be the emperor and push me to the front to hold an umbrella for them?

Ha ha
Geng Qing chuckled twice, and waved his hands, "I have little fortune, and I can't be the emperor, this matter is over." In the voice, he suddenly heard the sound of small steps stepping forward, running quickly, with a smile on his face. Laughing, looking back sideways, a little man was running in front of the soldiers holding torches in the middle aisle on both sides.

"Daddy!" A crisp voice called out, and Geng Qing smiled even wider. He squatted down and opened his arms, and hugged the little boy who was rushing directly into his arms, and hugged him around in a circle.

Hahaha!
Geng Nian's feet were flying, and his whole body was pressed against his warm chest, laughing and laughing. After a while, he heard his father's voice saying: "Dad promised you to come back soon, did you keep your promise?"

"En!" Geng Nian touched his father's dark face with a pair of small hands, and nodded solemnly like a little adult: "Daddy keeps his promise. A real man!" Qing hugged her and whispered: "Daddy, Nian'er actually misses you very much."

"Daddy misses you too."

"And mother, mother misses you too."

Geng Qing put his arms around the child and looked at the figure approaching in front of him, Wang Feiying and Jiuyu were a little ahead, and there was a slim figure coming, he whispered into his son's ear with a smile: "Father misses your mother too. "

Um?The little man tilted his head, "Daddy, why does Nian'er feel that you are swearing?"

Tong Yanwuji's words made Bai Yunxiang purse her lips, and when she looked at the man opposite, Geng Qing came over with a smile, holding the child and hugging her in her arms.

The nearby soldiers and guards couldn't help but hook their lips. The murderous night finally didn't look so ferocious. Not long after, Zhang Huaiyi, who was covered in scars, was rescued from Dali Temple by Tu Shifei and Dou Wei.

The sky is gradually turning pale, and there is still mist and choking smoke on the street in the early morning of winter. The noisy city has become quiet all night. People who have closed their doors carefully opened their doors and windows to peek outside. There is no smell of blood, mottled blood, no different from the past.

When the notice was ordered to gallop over and read the announcement, some people walked out of the house and started busy with their old work. Those with wives at home bought vegetables and fetched water, and gathered at the mouth of the well in the alley.

"Hey, I really scared someone to death last night and killed someone at the door of my house. When I came out this morning, there was still a piece of meat on the door. I don't know who it was."

"Be content, my shop facing the street was directly smashed into a hole."

"These Longyou troops are really ruthless. They dared to attack the city in the middle of the night. If it were me, I wouldn't even be able to see the road when it was dark!"

"Hey, people from poor places are usually ruthless. Didn't you hear those Hu merchants from the Western Regions in Chang'an? There are robbers everywhere in the northwest area, and they can lose their lives if they are not careful."

"However, I heard from my family that the Longyou rebels who invaded this time. There is a scholar among them. It seems that we were the ones who went out from Chang'an."

"I know that when the war outside the city was fought before, my man also mentioned it. He was a small official in the Ministry of Punishment with that Geng Qing."

"Then your family is going to prosper now, so you won't be able to hug that person and move up."

Such babbling market words spread all over the city, but the Longyou army who invaded did not make much movement in the next two days, and all the people patrolling the streets were yamen servants , The soldiers I saw occasionally were still the Shence Army who had surrendered and patrolled the past.

After the city of Chang'an was broken, Emperor Li Ye fled to Huazhou with only 2 Longwu troops. Of the [-] Shence armies that were originally staying in the city, more than [-] people became prisoners after excluding the casualties. The three brothers were also among them, and were persuaded by Geng Qing to surrender.

For the next two days, Li Jiji and Zhao Zhouyi were busy taking prisoners, but Geng Qing was free and hid in the big house in Guangdefang, spending almost two days in the room with Bai Yunxiang in a daze.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and when Geng Qing walked out, the invitation had already been delivered to Jiuyu the day before.

Princess Li Huan of Guangde invited him to visit the mansion.
