Chapter 229: It’s okay to turn this country upside down!
After the imperial edict was read out, Gu Xizhi also cooperated extremely and received the edict respectfully.
Everyone present was questioning the authenticity of this edict.
Even Gu Xizhi didn't have the courage to open the imperial edict in his hand and take a look, for fear of exposing any flaws.
Tong Zhaoer was the first to question: "This imperial edict must be fake! How could the Queen Mother give you such a ridiculous edict?"
Liang Jiang ignored her anger and went straight to Fang Chengxu: "I know that Tong Shouliang came to Weixi with you, and you should also know the emperor's secret decree to kill King Pingxi.
You come from a family of military commanders, and I believe that your conscience is still intact. You should have a clear conscience in your mind about who is who. So, I want to say a few words to you. "
Fang Chengxu pursed his lips: "You tell me."
Liang Jiang said seriously: "Do you know why the Queen Mother gave me this imperial edict from the late Emperor?"
Fang Chengxu shook his head.
Liang Jiang said word by word: "Because the emperor asked the Queen Mother to travel thousands of miles to Weixi. The real purpose is to bury the Queen Mother."
"What?"
Everyone who heard this sentence was shocked.
Even Fang Chengxu was dumbfounded.
"How, how is it possible?"
Liang Jiang asked back: "The Queen Mother had selfish intentions and intercepted this imperial edict when the late emperor was critically ill. If she hadn't been disheartened by the emperor, how could she have voluntarily handed over this imperial edict?
Such a foolish king. , do you want to continue to work for him? "
Fang Chengxu hesitated.
Tong Zhaoer retorted sharply: "That's nonsense! It's all fake. If you have the ability, open the imperial edict and let us see it."
Liang Jiang looked at her coldly: "What qualifications do you have to question me? In what capacity? Do you have any rank or official position in the army?"
"Just because my father is now the commander-in-chief, holding Shang Fang's sword! He can kill first and then show off!"
Liang Jiang sneered: "Although the emperor is fake and his name is unfair, it is true that Tong Shouliang had liaison with the enemy and killed so many brothers. Everyone, do you obey this kind of general who sells his brothers' lives in exchange for military glory and future? Not convinced?"
These soldiers are different from the guards. They are all soldiers who have experienced life and death on the battlefield. Tong Shouliang's behavior made them shameless, and they immediately raised their arms and shouted: "I don't accept it!"
"This kind of emperor plots to usurp the throne, kills brothers, indulges treacherous ministers, and wants to bury his mother in exchange for imperial power. He even ignores family ties. Do you still expect him to be kind to the people and the common people of the world? You still have to risk your lives with Defend passionately?”
The soldiers' voices were mixed: "It's not worth it!"
Tong Zhaoer was furious: "Are you Liangjiang going to rebel? Are you going to rebel too?"
Liang Jiang raised his hand and pointed at Gu Xizhi: "The late emperor passed down the throne, and the real dragon emperor whom the people aspire to is here! How can there be any talk of rebellion?"
Gu Xizhi remained silent, and both Guan Qi and Guan Qi were worried about Liang Jiang. They were really afraid that she would make the matter bigger and worse, and it would not be able to end.
As soon as Liang Jiang said this, it was clear that he wanted to make him rebel, rebel against the emperor's tyranny, and put him on the back of a tiger.
Watching chess is astounding.
Gu Xizhi, however, did not hesitate and stepped forward: "The good Lord was loyal to the emperor and patriotic throughout his life, and worked tirelessly to defend Chang'an. He went through life and death, but in the end he was killed by a traitor.
Learning from the past, I, the King of Pingxi and the Commander of Gu Xizhi, have decided not to let others control me anymore. Today, I will rise up to save the Queen Mother, rebel against the faint king, and demand justice for the soldiers who died! "
The voice was sonorous, powerful and resounding: "Brothers, whether you are willing to follow me or continue to help the evildoers, you decide for yourself!"
The Weixi soldiers behind him naturally raised their arms and shouted: "Save the Queen Mother, rebel against the emperor, and demand justice!"
Gu Xizhi originally started his career in the military camp. The officers and soldiers in the army knew his benevolence and righteousness and respected him very much. When the two armies faced each other today, they also acted according to orders. Now that the truth is known, some people have taken the lead to come forward, and others have naturally followed suit.
The scene was filled with excitement and was completely out of Fang Chengxu's control.
Liang Jiang looked at Fang Chengxu.
Fang Chengxu understood that the situation was over, gritted his teeth and said: "Fang Chengxu is willing to surrender!"
Tong Zhaoer was still fighting in a corner and yelled angrily: "Fang Chengxu, you weaklings! If it weren't for my father who faked his death to protect you, you would be here today..."
Before she could finish her words, a stone hit her on the forehead.
The soldier scolded: "The daughter of a traitor still has the nerve to point fingers here?"
"Yes, kill the traitor's daughter to sacrifice the flag!"
Others also cursed and picked up stones from the ground, no matter how big or small, and pointed them at her.
For a while, his head was broken and bleeding, and he was as embarrassed as a dog. He also yelled and cursed at the soldiers, making all kinds of obscene remarks and being aggressive and crazy.
Fang Chengxu was unable to stop him and was hit by rocks so hard that he hugged his head and gritted his teeth to endure. Tong Zhaoer was hit on the back of the head by a stone the size of a goose egg and fell to the ground, bleeding and unconscious.
Fang Chengxu hurriedly appealed to Gu Xizhi: "Azhao is not very clear-headed now. I beg the prince to spare her life. I am willing to hand over my military power and let the prince do whatever he wants."
Gu Xizhi raised his hand, and everyone just relieved themselves and dropped the stones in their hands.
Fang Chengxu handed over the tiger talisman, struggled to pick up Tong Zhaoer on the ground, looked at Liang Jiang for the last time in shame, and limped away in embarrassment under the eyes of everyone with contempt.
Guanqi immediately ordered people to clear the battlefield and reorganize the team.
Liang Jiang knew to Gu Xi: "I have ordered people to go to Yuhua Mountain to send a message for help. I believe that my fellow sects and my Feng clan members will not be alone. I have also dispatched all the killers from Fengying Pavilion. May everyone obey your orders, Your Majesty.”
"Yuhua Mountain, Feng Clan, Fengying Pavilion, Liangjiang, how many other identities do you have that I don't know about?"
Liang Jiang raised her eyes to look at him, her brows thoughtful: "Yes, Princess Pingxi, or the Queen, or the rebellious minister, it's up to you, Your Majesty!"
Gu Xi knew he was worried: "Rebellion is not a trivial matter. Have you really thought about it?"
"It's not rebellion!" Liang Jiang corrected seriously: "Your Majesty is just taking back your own throne and fighting for the people of Chang'an."
Gu Xizhi asked in a low voice in surprise: "You are really pretending."
"Does the prince not believe me and thinks I am acting? Why don't you open the edict in your hand and take a look?"
Gu Xizhi opened the imperial edict in his hand in surprise, glanced at it, and was stunned.
The bright red seal and the handwriting of his father during his lifetime were all very familiar.
He looked in disbelief: "Is everything you said true?"
Liang Jiang nodded and told him the whole story.
Gu Xizhi clenched his fists: "I never expected that my brother, the emperor, would be so ruthless and do whatever it takes for the sake of the throne. It doesn't matter if this country is turned against him!"
Liangjiang said loudly: "I will accompany you, whether it is life or death, or wandering around, we will share the honor and disgrace for the rest of our lives! Overthrow this tyrant country, and restore Chang'an to a peaceful world."
Gu Xizhi stretched out his hand, intertwined his fingers with hers, and spoke in an unprecedentedly firm tone: "You gambled with your life, how could I let you lose? At the latest, in half a year, when I conquer this beautiful country, I will take you as a betrothal gift and marry you as my wife. The only queen of Chang'an."
In the wind of hunting mountains, the two of them stood on a high place, facing the huge army, standing side by side, raising their arms and shouting: "Now the Queen Mother is in danger and her life is at stake. All the generals listen to the order and follow me to Dragon Vein." , rescue the Queen Mother and eradicate the traitors."
With one call and a hundred responses, the newly reorganized team set off immediately, regardless of rest, and rushed to the dragon veins in the mountains.
