The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 316 Who wants to be emperor? !

The sun rose above the clouds, and the bright light filled the bottom of his eyes, making him a little dizzy. He stepped back in a vain manner, supported the waiter at the side, and stabilized his figure just now. He still asked with some unbelievable words:
"Is it the Minister's order?"

However, without waiting for the soldiers who sent the order to reply, the mighty front of the soldiers had already spread. The standard armor and soldiers all showed that it was the army outside the city that rushed into the palace.

"You can't sit still. You must seize the opportunity"

Zhu Yougui tried his best to calm himself down from the panic just now, rubbed his cheeks vigorously, and snatched the Tianzi Sword held by the waiter, if there were no accidents at the moment, it would already be his.

'Clang! '

With the sword out of its sheath, he walked to the edge and raised the sword high, "The Crane Controlling Army and the Longwu Army obey orders and stop the rebels!"

The two armies of Controlling Crane and Longwu gathered in the square to watch the new emperor enthroned are not many, and most of the rest stay in the imperial city to guard. There are only more than 3000 people here, and the total is less than [-]. However, there are tens of thousands of people on the opposite side, all of whom are well-trained. Seeing the reaction of the two armies, they quickly formed a formation to confront each other.

There were many swords, guns, swords and halberds. The soldiers on both sides were brothers in the same robe, some of them were even familiar with each other. The atmosphere was suddenly tense, but there was no immediate action.

"Hehe. You are all my father's former troops. In the past, he treated all armies well. Today, on the day of his enthronement, he took the lead in rebelling and attacking the palace. What's the reason?!"

Zhu Yougui clenched his teeth while talking, but he had a smile on his face, which made his tone look quite relaxed.

"Since you're here, why don't you watch the ceremony here, and witness how Gu ascends the throne as the emperor? Today, the crime of attacking the palace will be absolved, and everyone will return to the camp."

"Zhu Yougui, you are a shameless person who can say such a thing." Zhu Youzhen shouted loudly, even took off the adornment around her waist, and threw it at the figure on the high platform, "Father's disaster is due to you. In the past You even sacrificed your own wife just to curry favor with your father and make him look up to you!"

There was an uproar among the ministers.

Only a few ministers knew about these secrets, and now that Zhu Youzhen told them in full view, how could Zhu Yougui on the high platform accept it, and his eyes were bloodshot instantly.

He walked back and forth along the edge of the high platform, pointing at Zhu Youzhen who was screaming below, "Left and right, kill him! Kill him!"

'clang' 'clang' 'clang'

Yang Shihou, Zhang Quanyi, Liu Wei and other generals also drew their swords one by one, and Yuan Xiangxian and Zhao Yan guarded Zhu Youzhen in the middle, staring angrily at the soldiers of the Crane Control Army who rushed over.

"You don't know from being a thief until you die!"

While shouting these words angrily, there was also a sound of '咻' piercing the sky, a black shadow crossed the sky, swished across the shoulders of two courtiers, and directly shot a crane-controlling soldier who was rushing towards Liu Po ​​to death , and then, there was a horse neighing.

sigh -

A fiery red war horse galloped from behind, a longbow was thrown flying by the knight above, holding Yu Wang's spear in one hand, and holding the rein in the other, the Pegasus crossed the army formation in front to the side of the square, and stopped the war horse suddenly. And rise.

The cloak flew away with a 'wow', and Li Cunxiao's voice resounded: "Shangshu ordered Geng Qing to—"

Countless gazes intertwined, and at the same time looked at the direction behind the knight. The chariot pulled by two horses was slowly escorted by more than a hundred guards, and then stopped.

On the chariot, Geng Qing took a piece of letter paper and got out of the carriage dressed up.

In the eyes of everyone, Geng Qing's face was indifferent, and he calmly walked through the quiet square with his hands behind his back, and stood in front of the Fengchan Stage. Not far away, Feng Ting'er looked at each other, then at King Ying on the stand, and made up his mind. Quietly rubbing the soles of his shoes, he moved his steps closer to each other little by little.

The moment the blade in his hand turned with his wrist, his whole body was like an arrow off the string, rushing towards the opponent with a swish.

"Geng Qing, I want your life—"

The one who greeted him was Li Cunxiao, who was tall and tall behind Geng Qing, who turned his head and turned his head. The next moment, the long spear swept through the air, bringing up wind and thunder.

Bang!
Feng Tinger spurted blood, and flew back like a cannonball, hitting the stone bricks of the high platform directly, and the heart guard was dented.

"It's been a long time since anyone tried to kill me, and you're the first one in these two years."

Geng Qing smiled and said something, without looking at the corpse on the ground or Zhu Yougui on the stage, but slowly raised his arms, holding the letter paper in his hand to the eyes of all the ministers.

"King Ying, when I came here, I heard you asking why you entered the palace from afar. Now I will answer you. We are not rebelling, but rehabilitating the Niu Hujun, and ending the hatred of the late emperor."

"I think you guys are wondering what this letter is about, so I'll tell you." Geng Qing turned his back to the high platform, glanced at the monarchs and ministers in front of him, and said each sentence with a forceful voice.

"This letter was written by Niu Hujun, hoping for reinforcements to save His Majesty. Just imagine a person who robbed His Majesty, how could he send a fast horse to send a letter to Zezhou soldiers and horses who are returning, and His Majesty died in my arms that day!"

Geng Qing turned his head, raised the letter paper in his hand, and flew in the air: "Zhu Yougui, you killed your father and seized the throne, it's unforgivable, I, a loyal and loyal man, will not let you succeed."

"what?!"

The surrounding officials were speechless in shock, and someone couldn't help asking above the high platform: "King Ying, is Shang Shuling telling the truth?"

"Don't listen to his one-sided words, letters can be fake!"

Now Zhu Yougui finally understands why Geng Qing agreed so readily to stand by him that day. Sitting on the throne today, I am afraid that the prestige will be greatly damaged, and it will be difficult to convince the public.

However, how could Geng Qing have no backup and let him ascend the throne today?
"Since King Ying said that letters can be faked, he won't." Geng Qing looked at the figure on the high platform with a smile, and a group of teams behind him quickly came over. , in front of the Konghe and Longwu armies.

The woman knelt on the ground tremblingly, under her messy blue hair, she occasionally raised her face, her appearance was handsome and gorgeous, her eyes shivered timidly, which made people feel pity, and beside her was her husband, Jingxiang, the Zhizhengyuan official, who had a big smile on his face. Bruised, the skin on the corner of his mouth was torn and bloodstained, when Geng Qing strolled over, he quickly lowered his head to the ground.

"It's about the Zhizhengyuan, what happened in the palace that day, you come and tell everyone." Geng Qing stopped in front of him, looked at the back of the other's head, and said softly with a smile.

The latter swallowed his saliva. On the way here, he has already been tortured. He basically said what he should be recruited, and even signed a signature. In this matter, King Ying was in charge. He made suggestions, and his accomplices included Longwu Army, Crane Control Army Han Qing, and Feng Ting'e Gongbing.It was Niu Cunjie who gave up his life to protect the late emperor Zhu Wen from retreating from Longguang Gate.

After explaining it clearly one by one, the woman next to her, Mrs. Liu, was so frightened that she lost her mind for a long time. After hearing some things her husband did, she hurriedly cried and kowtowed on the ground to agree.

Zhu Yougui went down the high platform with the sword of the Son of Heaven. It was meaningless for him to stay on top. There were still soldiers who wanted him down there, and they came to guard him in the middle, but Zhu Yougui squeezed to the front, pointing the sword at the kneeling kowtow The couple looked at Geng Qing.

"These two people are not familiar with me, but they were tortured and framed by Shang Shuling!"

"I knew you would argue." Geng Qing still stood there, and then clapped his hands, and someone came over, it was Bo Wang Zhu Youwen, he was covered in blood, and his arm was still injured. , almost pounced on him, staring at the other party and gnashing his teeth.

"Zhu Yougui, in vain you are still father and son, how could you do the act of killing my father and send Han Qing to rob and kill me outside the city?"

Seeing that Zhu Youwen was still alive, Zhu Yougui's expression gradually changed, a layer of cold sweat dripped from his face, and he wanted to speak, a burly general came over with a gun, and the things in his hands flew, and landed at his feet and rolled twice , it was Han Qing's head.

The general turned around and walked towards Geng Qing, clasped his fists and half knelt down: "Bo Wang has been rescued, Xia Lu made strange orders."

"Have a good rest."

Geng Qing gave a few words of encouragement, the former got up and did not leave, and walked to the side with a gun to guard, Geng Qing turned around: "King Ying, how is it now?"

When he looked at Zhu Yougui, Zhu Yougui's face was pale and he couldn't answer any more. He sat down on the ground limply. The soldiers around him hesitated for a moment. After all, at this time, King Ying's defeat was already decided and he wanted to protect Zhu Yougui. It is impossible to kill them.

"The truth has come to light, but today is just right. After all, a country can't live without a king. An emperor should be elected." Geng Qing ignored the figure sitting on the ground, and among the ministers, Zhu Youzhen boldly came over and looked at him viciously. Looking at the elder brother on the ground, he still cast his eyes on Geng Qing in front of him.

As long as the other party nods, the position of emperor is simply at your fingertips.

However, at this time, Bo Wang Zhu Youwen also came over. He is qualified, and others can't fault him.

Looking at King Bo and King Jun in front of him, Geng Qing felt a little troubled, rubbed his temples, "Just draw lots, whoever gets caught will be the winner."

"Shang Shuling! Gu is also a king, and Gu is also qualified!"

Zhu Yougui got up from the ground, a little in a trance, and kept pointing his hands at himself.Geng Qing glanced at him and called Chen Hu, took something, raised his arm sideways, and there was a loud bang.

The fire exploded, and Zhu Yougui fell to the ground with a blurred face.

"Now you're not eligible."

Geng Qing fanned the black smoke, coughed twice, and threw the firearm to the guard.

Then he looked at Zhu Youwen and Zhu Youzhen in front of him, "Let's draw lots, it's faster, and whoever doesn't catch it can only blame bad luck, and I don't have that life."

The two looked at Zhu Yougui whose face was completely dark and whose eyeballs had been blown out, and they felt a little panicked.

Soon, Jiuyu came over with a wooden box. In front of the two of them, Geng Qing took out two pieces of white paper, one of which was written with the word "中". After shaking it a few times, it was placed between the two of them.
