The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 315 Xuanwumen changes again.
"The gate of heaven has been opened, all the ministers worship, welcome the new emperor to ascend the throne—"

The sharp and high-pitched voice tore through the misty morning, and the sunlight that broke through the gaps in the clouds pushed Qingming to spread rapidly across the streets, alleys, tall buildings and low houses, and climbed over the city walls, reflecting countless banners with the characters "梁" and "朱". The ten-foot-high Fengchan Terrace.

It is an auspicious time for the early sun to rise in the east.

Zhu Yougui was dressed in a splendid attire, a purple-black toga, with a dragon's title of gold and jade tied around his waist, his hair tied up and a crown on his head, leading the crane-tooth-controlling general Feng Ting'er, and his personal guard tooth soldiers, walking in the first place to the high platform.

Seeing the team approaching, the commanding cavalry on duty waved a small flag, and the commander-in-chief pulled out his long sword and held it high, shouting: "King Ying is on the stage, and he is enshrined in Zen! All officials have an audience!"

In the square below the Fengchan Terrace, 420 officials, big and small, knelt down and kowtowed, then straightened up and kept kneeling, looking ahead.

At this moment, countless soldiers slammed their spears together, or slapped their scabbards, their majestic and majestic voices lasted for a long time, and they stopped for a while.

Zhu Yougui pressed the head of the sword, watching the scene with satisfaction, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and glanced at Feng Ting'er, who was two steps behind, from the corner of his eye. .

"The Tang Dynasty was late, so that the world collapsed and the order was reversed. I, the Emperor Taizu of Liang Dynasty, swept across the world, established a foundation, and conquered the four barbarians. Those who are in disorder, enjoy the kindness of my Taizu, and don't think about it." Repayment, so that Taizu created a foundation and collapsed in the middle; King Ying ran for Taizu's safety, slashed the villains in the Yellow River, and fulfilled the filial piety of a son, the loyalty of the family and the country, and the rite of a saint."

Zhu Yougui closed his eyes and listened to the edict read slowly, and walked up to the high platform, looking at the countless stone steps, and walked up step by step. As Feng Ting'er's voice fell, King Ying who had climbed up the high platform also came to the edge of the platform. The kneeling figures below, surrounded by densely packed soldiers, have an indescribably heroic spirit in their hearts.

"I feel ashamed to lead my family and country in the face of danger, but I can't live without a master for a day, and I can't neglect government affairs because of the death of the first emperor, so that the people in the world are chaotic and disorderly. Assuming the responsibility of tens of thousands of lives, the great wish of the first emperor, I also hope that you will work hard for the country together with Gu, and you will not fight each other in the same room or kill each other!"

In the sky, Zhu Yougui's voice was loud, and suddenly stopped for a while, vaguely heard noise and shouts in the distance, thought it was the wind bringing out the noise, so he didn't care, when he turned around, Fu Baolang walked up slowly holding the seal and booklet .

On one side, the eunuch near the side held the imperial plate, on which the dragon robe and crown were neatly folded, and the envoy respectfully held up the beaded curtain emperor crown with both hands, and was about to put it on for Zhu Yougui. The figure slowly stood up.

"The first emperor's heir takes the throne, we have nothing to say, but why must it be King Ying?"

The voice wasn't too loud, but there was no sound at the moment, and it seemed abrupt and clear, causing the kneeling officials to look back at the person who was speaking in amazement. In their sight, the one who got up and spoke was Yang Shihou, standing together, and Ge Cong Zhou, Zhang Quanyi, Liu Wei and other lieutenant generals in the army.

"Master Yang, what nonsense are you talking about?!" Feng Ting'er squeezed the hilt of his sword and pulled out half of it angrily, "Today's King Ying's enthronement ceremony, how can you allow you to talk nonsense, come here."

"Dare to do it or not to let people know?!"

Zhang Quanyi glanced at the soldiers of the Crane Controlling Army who came over, showing an angry look, and pulled out the saber at his waist without fear: "Controlling Crane, Longwu Gongwei Gongwei Palace, no matter how strong the martial arts of Niu Cunjie, under the guards, they will not be able to defeat them." Your Majesty robbed the imperial city, unless you are going against the grain and pinning the crime on Niu Hujun!"

Most of the generals in the army started with Zhu Wen, or took refuge halfway. They knew more or less about Niu Cunjie, who was always with Zhu Wen, and he was really reliable, otherwise he would not have been arranged as personal protection.

"King Ying, you are going to be the emperor today, hehe, I don't know if Zhu Youwen, the king of Bo, and Zhu Youzhen, the king of Jun, can be emperors? King Jun is still the son of a son, and has a more powerful position than the son of a bitch like you."

"you!"

When Zhu Yougui was mentioned about his mother, his face flushed immediately, he grabbed the crown with one hand and put it under his arm, he raised his finger to the general standing in the crowd, "Take them down, drag them outside and behead them for public display!"

"I see who dares!"

Among the kneeling officials, another figure stood out, it was Jun Wang Zhu Youzhen, and beside him were his brother-in-law Tianwei Jiedu Envoy Zhao Yan and Right Guard General Yuan Xiangxian.

The two had planned before, to get Zhu Youzhen in contact with Yang Shihou and other generals, and try to win them over so that they would be needed in the future. Come down, the status of both of them can rise with the tide.

Especially Zhao Yan, he is the captain of the consort and the envoy of Tianwei Jiedu. He can no longer mention it any more. Only by making such a big gamble once and becoming a servant of the dragon can he break the shackles.

"Brothers of the Controlling Crane Army, you can't kill your father and evil sons here, and don't be deceived!" Yuan Xiang was the general of the right guard first, and his official title was empty, but he had a great reputation. like guards.

For a while, the hundred or so crane-controlling soldiers who had come up hesitated for a moment, Feng Ting'er cursed angrily, rushed to the steps below the high platform, raised his sword and shouted: "Come on."

After saying that, he waved his sword and pointed, and the trusted generals on the other side rushed into the officials with his subordinates, intending to arrest the rebels who committed crimes.

bang——

Suddenly there was a loud noise from Xuanwu Gate, and everyone turned their heads. In the sunlight, the color of fireworks lit up in the distance, and then a black smoke rose.

All the courtiers got up in shock. On the Fengchan platform, Zhu Yougui pushed the waiter away and squeezed to the edge, unable to know what happened there.

Only faint fights could be heard.

Then, there was another loud bang, which exploded on the tower of Xuanwu Gate, setting off a large amount of black smoke and flames, and the archers and shield soldiers hiding behind the wall fell down one after another, holding their flesh torn apart by iron filings. howling.

In the gap below the tightly closed city gate, three or five black iron balls ignited with a bean-sized flame rolled into the gate through the gap. After a few shocks, a large amount of dust flew in the air in an instant and fell down rustlingly.

"Break away—"

That was Wang Yanzhang's voice screaming among the soldiers. For a moment, more than a dozen soldiers carried wooden beams that had been removed from nearby buildings and slammed them into the city gate. Afterwards, more soldiers also rushed over, hugging the wooden beams. Unanimously exerting strength, they hit several times in a row, and at the last stroke, the bearing shafts on both sides of the heavy city gate made a crisp sound of breaking.

The next moment, the city gate collapsed.

"kill--"

There was a hysterical roar, and a torrent of fierce soldiers in the army rushed into the collapsed city gate. These were soldiers who had been led by Yang Shihou, Ge Congzhou, Liu Wei, Zhang Quanyi, Li Si'an, and Wang Yanzhang, and they were all selected soldiers. The elite, who had been hiding in the city for nearly half a month, burst out like a torrent that broke through a dam. His body was trembling with excitement, and while running wildly, he slammed into the crane-controlling soldiers who were intercepting him.

As soon as the guards who formed the formation came into contact, the formation was overturned and crushed in an instant, and then swept in the rushing torrent, heading towards the Fengchan Terrace.

Soon, thousands of soldiers poured into Xuanwu Gate, and the guarded carriage also slowly entered the city gate.

The smell of blood filled the air, Geng Qing lifted the curtain and looked at the corpses all over the ground, frowned, and asked the nearby soldiers to carry the wounded down for treatment, and the corpses were removed for burial.

The message was delivered quickly.

The Fengchan Terrace was originally located in the inner palace, not too far from the Xuanwu Gate. When a fast horse carrying a huge amount of information came to the Fengchan Terrace and reported it to Zhu Yougui who was on the high platform, King Ying, who was only one step away from the throne, was shocked. No, he clenched his sleeves tightly with both hands and stood there dumbfounded, unable to speak for a long time.
