Chapter 4146 Confident
Cheng Chumo had to panic. The King of Jin promised his father that "on the feudal side, the country will be established and the family will be passed down." Therefore, although his father was responsible for guarding the capital, he released the gates of the four cities and allowed the Youhou Guards to enter Chang'an. In his opinion, this was considered appropriate. The Jin Dynasty's party, now Youhouwei has not been able to capture it The Taiji Palace is defeated and will have to withstand the violent storm of the Sixth Army in the East Palace. The other armies of the Sixteenth Guards who were originally waiting to see the situation will definitely express their support for the prince. Even if the King of Jin can hold on to the dangerous pass of Tongguan, he will be the enemy of the whole world. Is there any way to survive below?
Defeat is almost certain.
When the prince successfully ascends the throne and stabilizes the situation of the court, his father and son will surely bear the brunt of the counterattack...
Big loss.
Cheng Yaojin took a sip of tea, glanced at his panicked son, and sighed to Niu Jinda: "I have always been dissatisfied with civil and military affairs in the imperial court, especially the two men who were 'Fang Mou Duan'. They have been praised by the world. I But he thought it was an exaggeration. The two men were naturally equal in talent, but Du Ruhui was short-lived. However, his astonishing talent has limited achievements after all. Fang Xuanling is too upright and does not know how to change things. He said that he is a gentleman like jade, but in fact he is very pedantic... But these years, I have been envious and jealous of Fang Xuanling, just because he gave birth to a child. Good son, although I have six sons, none of them can live up to the number two.”
Niu Jinda thought of his son who was neither a man nor a warrior, and thought deeply about it: "Before the age of thirty, he was always full of passion and heroism. He was never afraid of the heroes of the world. He thought that he could make achievements with his courage and strength. When being granted a title or promotion, during normal banquets, one would compare them one by one. Those with higher titles will be arrogant, while those who are slightly inferior will be compared one by one. Full of resentment. But after the age of thirty, life's achievements seem to be less important. When drinking and chatting, I always think of my children and grandchildren. No matter how high you are, if your children and grandchildren are unworthy, you will inevitably sigh and be unable to raise your head. Even if you are an old official, you can still look forward to it proudly if your descendants live up to their expectations.”
Cheng Yaojin slapped the case and sighed: "This is exactly the truth! Even if we continue to think of ourselves as heroes, we will die one day. We will leave a family fortune but our children and grandchildren cannot keep it. Things get worse and worse until the family fortune falls and the tomb is buried. I will be so angry that I will jump up and down! But if the descendants are promising, they will be happy eating braised vegetables all their lives. They know that the family business will be strong, the future will be bright, and they will die in peace!”
Before the age of thirty, when friends meet, they compare their achievements, official positions, and wealth.
After the age of thirty, the competition is with children...
Cheng Chumo stood aside a little confused: "..."
I think that even if we are not as powerful as Fang Er, we won't make you feel ashamed, dad, and have no face to see others, right?
Besides, now that the situation is deteriorating, you should think more about how not to involve the entire family, dad, instead of talking about the future of your children and grandchildren with emotion.
If you are designated as a typical villain by the prince and show yourself to the public, our whole family will suffer. Whose son is capable? Our great ability will accompany you to lose your head and destroy your whole family...< br>
So, can your words be understood as "No matter how capable your son is, he will still have to admit that he is unlucky to have a troublesome father"?
Of course, this can only be said in my heart, and I would not dare to say it even to death.
Because once you say it, you will really be beaten to death...
Niu Jinda saw that Cheng Chumo looked depressed and impatient, while Cheng Yaojin ignored him and said, "Don't be impatient. When have you ever seen your father doing a loss-making business? It's normal for You Houwei to capture Tai Chi Palace." , on the contrary, if it is decided in one go It's not normal. Even the Youhou guard protecting the King of Jin retreated to Tongguan because of your father's plan. The current situation is extremely complicated and cannot be explained at the moment. In short, just relax and listen to your father's orders."
He and Cheng Yaojin had been together for half their lives. When they were in the army, they would sleep together and walk together when they were out. He also often went in and out of Cheng's house and watched Cheng Yaojin's sons grow up. He was a real family leader.
Speak naturally without any scruples.
Although Cheng Chumo didn't know what was going on, but since Niu Jinda said this, he naturally breathed a sigh of relief and didn't feel so nervous, and said: "The six leaders of the East Palace are now guarding the Chunming and Jinguang gates. Just now Qu Tuquan's troops have entered the city and are approaching the West City. , presumably to monitor us.”
Cheng Yaojin said: "It doesn't matter. Just let him monitor us and send an order to the whole army. No one is allowed to make any move without my general's orders."
"Here."
Cheng Yaojin put down his tea cup, stood up and said to Niu Jinda: "I've left the camp to you. Since Duke Wei has sent troops to monitor me, I must go to the palace to apologize to His Highness the Crown Prince."
Cheng Chumo was startled again and said hurriedly: "Father, no, if someone slanders the prince in front of the prince, wouldn't it be detrimental to the father if the prince listens?"
Allowing the right Houwei to enter the city to attack the Taiji Palace was a clear sign of betrayal to the prince. It would be okay if his father was out there, and there was nothing he could do if he had a large number of soldiers, even if the prince hated him deeply. But if he entered the palace at this moment, wouldn't he be throwing himself into a trap?
The soldiers on the side had already served Cheng Yaojin to put on his outer armor. He put the bag under his arm and asked Niu Jinda: "If the second room is here, will you dissuade me from entering the palace?"
Niu Jinda smiled and said: "Of course he won't dissuade you. He will suggest that you bring your own fully armed soldiers, run straight from the West City to the Chengtian Gate, and shout in front of everyone, 'Whoever stops me' "Kill without mercy", he just rushed into the Hall of Wude, and then knelt down in front of the late emperor's soul and cried bitterly. I lost my voice and said a few words, "Your Majesty, you died young. When you left, all the monsters in the court came out to bite you." Not only did no one dare to harm you, they were even afraid that you would fall and knock off your front teeth. As long as you lose a hair, there will be people who can’t bear it.”
In the final analysis, no one knows whether the so-called posthumous edict in the hands of King Jin is true or false. Everyone is dubious. From the perspective of a bystander, they may analyze it and come to a specious conclusion, and even say, "The King of Jin is pretending to edict." , the crime deserves to be punished with death." But once involved, everyone has to rather believe that it exists than that it does not exist.
The corpse of the late emperor is still cold, and the power of his life is still lingering. Who dares to ignore the emperor's last edict?
Moreover, the current situation is chaotic, and no one knows who will win or lose in the end. It is easy to jump out and shout "the imperial edict is false" at this time, but when the king of Jin counterattacks Chang'an and seizes the legitimate son, he is waiting to be skinned and cramped. Clan...
Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly, patted his son on the shoulder, and said proudly: "Your father and I have been fighting for a lifetime. It seems that we have a narrow escape from death, but in fact, we have made plans every time. I really think that the Zuo Wuwei is up and down." Eat the food of the imperial court , what I said doesn’t count? Not to mention who dares to seriously kill me, as long as I don’t come out of Tai Chi Palace tonight, these tens of thousands of men will be able to enter Tai Chi Palace tomorrow!”< br>
After teaching his son a lesson, he strode out of the barracks, jumped on his horse, and galloped towards Tai Chi Palace surrounded by a group of soldiers.
Qu Tuquan's troops gathered between Yanshoufang and Buzhengfang had already set up deer villages and blocked horses on the road. Suddenly they saw a group of cavalry roaring towards them, and they hurriedly tried to intercept it, but when the first cavalryman bent his bow and nocked an arrow, arrow shot, arrow Suddenly, they were nailed to Luzhai. The soldiers led by Liu Donggong saw a small flag shaking slightly at the end of the arrow. It was the flying bear flag of Zuo Wuwei. They were startled. Knowing that Cheng Yaojin was coming in person, they hurriedly led the troops to him. Reported by Qu Tu Chuan who blocked the intersection.
Without saying a word, Qu Tuquan ordered his men to move away from Luzhai to make way for the road. He watched Cheng Yaojin lead a group of soldiers on horseback, roaring away surrounded by soldiers on both sides, and went straight to Tai Chi Palace.
All the soldiers of the Sixth Army of the East Palace looked at each other in disbelief, thinking that Duke Lu was too fierce, right?
Although no one dared to intercept and kill him in the street, there is always a chance in everything. If one or two sticks here couldn't see the situation clearly and took a chance and fired an arrow, wouldn't it be the end?
"Do you think Duke Lu has rebelled?"
"Does that need to be said? You are responsible for guarding the capital, but you open the east and west gates to allow the army to enter the city. You hide in the West City and don't care. Your position is clearly leaning towards the King of Jin."
"That's not necessarily true. After all, Zuo Wuwei was just watching, and he didn't help You Houwei beat us."
"Not helping us is tantamount to rebellion, right? The crown prince's accession to the throne is justified. King Jin's wish to seize the throne is simply wishful thinking, and standing on King Jin's side is even more confusing."
"That's not necessarily the case. It is said that the King of Jin has the late emperor's edict in his hand..."
"Silence!"
Qu Tuquan stopped his subordinates from talking nonsense and reprimanded: "We soldiers should respect the emperor's orders and act in accordance with them. If we dare to spread rumors in private, we will be shot without mercy!"
"Here!"
The soldiers were so frightened that they didn't dare to say anything.
……
Cheng Yaojin galloped his horse all the way, and dozens of people ran wildly along the long street on a rainy day. The iron hoofs as big as bowls made a clanging sound like thunder on the bluestone pavement. The soldiers of Donggong Liu, who were coming and going in groups, saw the cavalrymen carrying Zuo Wuwei ordered the flag and quickly stepped aside, not daring to block it.
The name of the "Devil King" is really loud, and everyone in the army is frightened and frightened. If he really offends this person, even if his own commander comes forward, he may not be able to gain favor...
Arriving at the Chengtian Gate, Cheng Yaojin reined in his horse and stood still. Looking around, he saw the corpses and limbs of countless soldiers being loaded onto carts and transported away. Even rain could not wash away the thick blood on the bluestone floor. The strong smell of blood It makes people feel sick, which shows how brutal the battle just now was.
Cheng Yaojin dismounted, threw the reins to the soldiers behind him, and walked towards Chengtian Gate without saying a word. The soldiers on duty in front of the gate quickly stepped forward and asked, "I wonder what Duke Lu has ordered?"
< br>
Cheng Yaojin stood in front of Chengtian Gate and raised his head to look at the newly built towering tower. The rain hitting his face made him squint his eyes and said slowly: "Go and report to the Ming Prince. I am unable to attend due to my military duties." The late emperor is buried in a grave, and he feels unspeakable guilt. Now he wants to go into the palace and bow before his soul to atone for this sin. ”
The Chengtian Gate cannot be opened easily. The soldiers on the city tower did not dare to neglect Cheng Yaojin's words and rushed into the palace to report to the prince.
Cheng Yao, holding a golden helmet and shaking his armor, held a sword in his hand. His majestic figure stood as tall as a mountain. The rainwater flowed down the armor leaves. He was majestic. Although the soldiers on the left and right were dissatisfied with the official who opened the city gate and allowed the rebels to enter the city and stood idly by, none of them dared to Make eye contact with him.
