The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 255 True Chapter
The morning sun rose above the clouds, and the flying bird across the sky landed on the corner of the palace eaves, and immediately, it flew away in shock with a loud announcement.

"Court Council, hundreds of officials are listed—"

In front of the Tai Chi Hall, civil and military officials walked into the main hall in sequence and lined up on both sides. Qin Huaimian couldn't see any expression on his face. Observe the movement outside the hall, or make eye contact with the emperor on the imperial steps,

At this time, the court meeting seemed to be cautious, and it took a long time for a political matter to be discussed. After a short stay, the hall was quiet and everyone could hear the breathing.

It made some civil and military officials who didn't know about it full of doubts, but in such an atmosphere, they somehow knew that something was going to happen, so they chose to keep their mouths tightly shut.

Not long after, a guard outside the hall quickly ran up the stone steps and came to the door of the hall: "His Majesty, the guards are commanding envoys to lead troops into the palace. There are two thousand."

Ok?
While Li Ye was stunned for a moment, besides Liu Can, the admonisher, bowing his head and smiling slightly, Qin Huaimian, Cui Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, Zhang Wenwei, Minister of Zhongshu, Lu Guangqi, Prince Shaobao, and more than a dozen ministers all showed surprise.

From what they knew about Zhu Youlun in the past, the other party would never bring many soldiers here, and maintain the minimum respect for the emperor, but with the current appearance, there is probably something wrong, and many people's hearts skipped a beat.

problem occurs.

Outside, heavy footsteps sounded from far to near. Teams of guard soldiers in armor were divided into two rows. The figure walking in the middle was riding a brown horse, also fully armored, holding a knife Urge the horse to come over.

'calling'

On the horse's back, Zhu Youlun gently tugged at the reins, calling the horse to stop for a moment, turned over, followed by two thousand soldiers, and went straight up the long steps made of white rock in front of the main hall. The eunuch in front of the hall hurriedly greeted him: "Slave servant!" Greetings to Commander-in-Chief."

The palace guards on duty on both sides also bowed and bowed their heads one by one.

Zhu Youlun, who came over, didn't even look at the eunuch in front of him, and walked past him, staring at the open palace door with his lips tightly pressed, raised his right hand, and pressed his palm down.

The soldiers behind him quickly separated, bowed and held the handle of the knife, and divided into more than ten teams and spread quickly around the Taiji Hall, and before the Chinese and martial arts in the hall, or even the emperor could react, they kicked open the door of the side hall with a bang, drew their swords and rushed go inside.

The guards and guards hiding in the side hall suddenly drew their swords: "Who?!"

The one who answered them was the blade of the knife swung by the wolf-like soldiers of the old guard, slashing at the neck of the shouter, and the blood splashed wildly on the faces of others.

The next moment, more guards and soldiers swarmed in, holding shields and crashing into the panicked crowd. Hundreds of thousands of knives slashed wildly, and the unarmored guards and guards almost slaughtered one-sidedly. Slanting on the paper windows, walls, and furniture, human corpses fell one by one as the soldiers advanced.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Li Ye forced himself to calm down. Under the yellow robe, his body was trembling uncontrollably, and his horrific screams were filling his eardrums crazily.

Looking at the side halls on both sides from the corner of the eye, there is only a gap in the ground between the fences, and thick blood is slowly flowing towards this side.

"His Majesty."

Zhu Youlun patted the nail leaf on his arm, and amidst the clattering noise, he raised his foot and stepped into the palace gate, and walked across the aisle among the civil and military personnel with long steps. After standing still, he glanced coldly at the figure on the imperial steps, and his voice echoed. Follow up and ask.

"Your Majesty was ordered by the King of Liang to take good care of His Majesty so as not to be disturbed by Xiaoxiao. Why does Your Majesty want to kill you because of evil intentions?"

"Commander, what are you talking about? Why do I want to kill you?" Li Ye clenched his toes, his heart was beating rapidly, he adjusted his breathing, and with a smile on his face, he got up from the dragon chair and walked out, "There must be something wrong with this." What a misunderstanding."

In an instant, soldiers outside dragged the corpses out and piled them up in front of the Tai Chi Hall, like a hill, with as many as two or three hundred people, blood still seeping through the cracks in the floor tiles and flowing in all directions.

"Your Majesty called this a misunderstanding?" Zhu Youlun glanced around and snorted coldly, "Those corpses outside are the guards and guards of some of you, but you killed them. I have something to show you."

As he said that, Zhu Youlun slapped his hands, and the soldiers came in with a tray covered with a white cloth, which was raised in a spherical shape and bloodstained all around.

You don't even need to look to know it's a head.

Whoa!
The white cloth was lifted, and Zhang Jun's head was lying on it with eyes wide open, lips slightly opened and closed, and there was a sound of gasping all around.

"A dozen or so members of the Zhang family went neatly when you went out to court this morning. Just because the old man in the family did something that shouldn't be done, tsk tsk! It's really a pity, among them A child just full moon, is it his granddaughter? What a small child."

Zhu Youlun smiled and grabbed the messy bun of the head, threw it under the imperial steps, and raised his hand to the trembling emperor.

"The person who committed the crime is dead. I will report to Your Majesty. Your Majesty will continue the court proceedings."

After saying that, he lifted his cloak and turned around to walk to the gate of the palace. With one foot on the threshold, he tilted his face slightly, looked at Qin Huaimian, Zhang Wenwei and others, and smiled, showing his white teeth.

"...Don't make another time, or it will be your family's turn to be young."

hum ha ha ha ha.
Then he laughed and walked out, waving his hand to ask the palace guards outside the palace door to close the door. Thinking of the scene of the Chinese military officials and the emperor trembling just now, Zhu Youlun stood on the edge of the stone steps, crossed his waist, and looked at the few people behind him. The confidant laughed.

"Did you see that? The emperor was so frightened. There is no such thing as an emperor. Thinking about when I was a child, my uncle and I were still stepping on the fields at home. My legs were covered with mud. I never thought that such a day would come."

All of a sudden, I feel like a real man should live like this!
"What's the point of such an emperor? How about my uncle come and go. I heard that there is a special place for beating horses in the back garden of the emperor. Let's go and have fun."

The emperors of all dynasties in Chang'an loved horses, and even Xuanzong issued a special edict to use horses as one of the cavalry training, so as to improve the combat effectiveness of cavalry, but later, the horses that were popular for a while gradually became the upper class dignitaries Li Xuan was even more obsessed with the game, not to mention ruining the government, and even doing absurd things like Ma Yan betting on the Sanchuan Jiedushi.

Zhu Youlun only heard about it when he was a teenager, and when he reached a certain age, he followed Zhu Wen and wandered around with the grass army. Only now did he have the opportunity to contact him. People go to the pasture by Taiye Lake.

After riding around for a while, he asked the eunuch in charge to pull out more than 20 horses. He also chose one that Li Ye had ridden, took off his armor, took the pole and galloped the horse.

The sun shines on the lake in the distance, and in the sparkling light, it is an indescribable pleasure to swing the horse. Due to their experience, the two sides fought back and forth, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.

When tired from fighting, the eunuchs would serve drinks and pastries on a long table, and invite the surrounding guards to come and eat them together. This is also a common way for generals in the army to win people's hearts.

"Hahaha, Commander, thanks to you, our brothers, I never imagined that one day we would have a meal that the emperor ate, and we would fight horses in the palace."

"What's so difficult about it, eat quickly, after eating, let's play a few more laps, and then we should leave the palace and go back."

Zhu Youlun looked at the joyful expressions of his subordinates with satisfaction. He learned more about his uncle than Zhu Youwen, Zhu Yougui and others.

When everyone was about to eat, he withdrew his thoughts and got on the horse again, took the pole and galloped out, "Look, show me something you haven't seen before!"

The horse galloped, roaring loudly, rushing towards the takraw ball in the grass, and the figure on the horse swung the ball away. Among the figures of the eunuch who was holding cakes and drinks, someone raised his face slightly and placed it on the tray. The lower hand quietly curled up its fingers, and then popped out.

"Haha! Wait and see—"

The pole flew away, and at the moment the swing fell, the horses with hoofs suddenly said, "Hey rhythm! With a cry of grief, a black shadow slapped the horse's hooves on the grass, and the horse suddenly leaned forward.

Zhu Youlun, who was swinging from above, had a sudden look of excitement on his face, and there was no time to react. The moment he let go of the pole in his hand, he followed the pounced forward horse and hit the ground in front of him with his head straight. There was a 'crack~' bone shattering sound from the neck.

sigh -

The horse was lying on its side on the ground, with its limbs struggling and kicking. Zhu Youlun, who rushed to the grass, twisted his neck and rolled twice, his eyes widened, and he lay motionless on the ground.

"Commander—"

The surrounding soldiers who were about to mount their horses, or drink or eat ran madly towards that side. Seeing this, they quickly checked their breath and pulse, and looked at each other in dismay.

"dead dead"

"go!"

"Notify the Privy Envoy!" "Send the news back to the barracks to prevent changes in Chang'an!"

Soon, in the chaos and noise, the soldiers rushed out of the palace, and the eunuch quickly relayed the scene on the field. Li Ye, who was losing his temper in the Taiji Hall, and all the civil and military officials heard the news. Zhongya sparrow was silent, and everyone showed incredible expressions.

Only Li Ye on the dragon chair clenched his fists excitedly, slammed on the armrest, and grinned.

"The villain died well, and the bully is dead. He deserves to end up like this."

Qin Huaimian hurried out, stood in the middle and cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, after Zhu Youlun died, only Privy Envoy Jiang Xuanhui was left in the city. This person is still in the Ministry of War. With such a good opportunity, he should quickly contact the Longxiang Army and let Li Shunjie enter the city to take over the city defense. If possible, send Zhu Wen The soldiers and horses left in the city will be taken over!"

"That's a great word!"

Hearing this, Li Ye was in a hurry to get someone to bring his keepsake and tell Pegasus to go out of the palace. Jiang Xuanhui who got the news hurriedly led people out from the military department. There were not many people around him, and he wanted to intercept him on the way, but the other party detoured the street and rushed out. Mingchun gate, rushing towards the Longxiang army garrison.

An hour later, at the school ground where the Longxiang Army was stationed.

After receiving the news, Li Shunjie led his personal guards to assemble [-] cavalrymen and put them on horseback. He also put on armor and held a spear on the horseback. He glanced at the cavalrymen under his command lined up in two rows behind him, as well as the left and right lieutenants, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Zhu Wen committed a great rebellion and imprisoned the emperor in the palace. Today we send troops to clear up the restlessness."

He urged his horse to face the riders and shouted loudly. Following the words, he gradually turned back to the front, looked at the open shaft gate, raised his arm, and the moment the soldier pointed to the sky, his voice raised: "... enter the city!"

As the word 'city' fell, the lieutenant behind him stroked his beard, suddenly moved his horse, and raised the knife with one arm.

puff!
Bloody light shot up into the sky, and the head wearing the iron helmet flew into the sky with a swish, passing everyone's sight.

Yanyue waved it, hanging down to the side of the horse with a whistling sound of '嗡', the bearded man urged the horse out, his eyes swept fiercely at the cavalry of the Longchamp Army who raised his troops to kill, he picked the head on the tip of the knife, violently Drink: "I want to take advantage of the Qing emperor's side to do things on the right! Yang Huaixiong beheaded this rebellious minister and traitor. The generals don't believe it. Follow me into the city to see your majesty and you will know the truth. Come with me—"

With a human head in one hand and a green dragon saber in the other, Yang Huaixiong galloped out of the gate on his horse. All the dragon riders looked at me and I looked at you, so they had to grit their teeth and follow.

The iron cavalry rolled up the dust and smoke, spreading to Mingchun Gate.

Someone responded internally and created chaos, making it impossible for the city gate to close in time. The next moment, a long dragon swept in and rushed into the city.

At the same time, a carriage drove out of Guangde Square with more than a hundred people. Not long after, the general who was hanging the head got off his horse and half knelt in front of the carriage, offering the head with both hands.

"Yang Huaixiong, complete the order of the Minister!"

The cavalry behind them couldn't figure out what was going on, so they got off their horses and half knelt one by one, and the long street was covered with black clouds.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing half of Geng Qing's face, he glanced at the head in the hand of the bearded man, then lowered the curtain, and a voice came out softly.

"Follow me into the palace to meet you."
