Chapter 231 Finale
Gu Xizhi officially raised troops from Weixi.
A well-known teacher will help you a lot.
The common people in Weixi, all young and middle-aged people, are all soldiers. They go to the fields when they are busy and practice when they are free.
Nowadays, we raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. They join the military camp and fight bravely, without any inferiority.
Lieutenant General Yu also rose up and dispatched troops and generals.
Before the soldiers and horses were moved, food and grass went first. The Feng clan donated the treasures and magical weapons that had been guarded for hundreds of years, recruited soldiers and horses, and the team grew rapidly.
With the help of fellow disciples in Yuhua Mountain, there are many talented people and strangers, which is like a tiger with even more wings.
The Weixi Army captured the city and territory along the way and broke into Shangjing.
Liangjiang holds a silver spear with red tassels, clearing the way with colorful tigers, and the Yuhua Mountain sect is the vanguard. Wherever he goes, he is like a broken bamboo, and everyone is frightened.
Officials and garrison troops along the route heard that the Empress Dowager was buried and that the Emperor was unjust, unfaithful and unfilial, so they opened cities and surrendered one after another.
After many hardships along the way, in less than two months, they successfully entered Shangjing.
Most of the troops stationed in the capital were former troops of good lords, so how could they be willing to sacrifice their lives for the emperor?
At the critical moment, they turned against each other and cooperated with the Weixi Army to attack the imperial city.
The army was defeated like a mountain, and collapsed with one blow.
The emperor did not expect that even though he took great pains to bury his mother in the dragon's veins, he still could not save the beautiful country under him.
Seeing that the rebel army led by Gu Xizhi attacked the palace with an unstoppable momentum, rescued the imprisoned Xie Fubai, and instigated a rebellion against the escort, the situation was over.
He still pinned his last hope on the art of witchcraft. He ordered people to make a lot of puppets, write Gu Xizhi's birthday and horoscope on them, and endure tortures such as thousands of arrows pounding his heart, frying pans and cannons.
When Gu Xizhi and Liang Jiang entered the palace, the emperor was in the Yunding alchemy room at the highest point. Holding a long sword, he angrily killed the Taoist priests who were playing tricks on the side, and blood spattered on the spot.
"Trash, a bunch of trash, after struggling for so long, how come Gu Xizhi is not dead yet? What use do I have in raising you?"
Looking at the tragic scene filled with smoke and like purgatory on earth, Gu Xizhi and Liang Jiang were shocked.
The emperor's hair was disheveled and he looked at Gu Xizhi, his eyes still filled with hatred.
"If it is true that the one who wins the Feng Nu rules the world, I shouldn't grant you a marriage! If you don't exchange it with Weixi, I won't agree to anything!"
Gu Xizhi Jian frowned: "Brother Emperor, you are still so ignorant now. Do you believe in this so-called superstition?"
"Isn't it? If I strike first and bring Liangjiang into the harem, where will your share in the world be? Liangjiang belongs to me, and so does the world!"
"My brother admits that good ginger is as important to me as Mount Tai. If it weren't for her, I might not stand here and be your enemy.
However, the root cause of today's situation is yourself! The people can carry the boat but they can also overturn it. If there is a way, there will be many helpers, but if there is no way, there will be little help. This is the most basic truth that our father taught us all the time! "
"Don't talk so high-sounding! It was you who got Feng Nu and destroyed the dragon's veins! Otherwise, it would never be possible! I am the destined true dragon emperor!"
Liang Jiang said angrily: "Now, the Queen Mother is buried alive in the dragon's veins. She said she hoped to use her own death to warn you and the world, but you are still stubborn!"
She pointed to the alchemy furnace in front of her: "And these immortality pills are just harmful poisons! They will destroy your mind and body, make you crazy, and give you a splitting headache like the Queen Mother!
You listened to these sorcerers and used traitors, and you killed many loyal ministers, even your own relatives and brothers! "
The emperor looked up to the sky and laughed: "What do you know? I am the true Dragon Emperor and the one who wants the people! But my father insisted on going against heaven and passing the throne to you, Gu Xizhi. I am just following God's will!" "
Gu Xizhi snorted: "Don't you understand yet? The so-called theory of the True Dragon Emperor was just made up by Taoist Li, under the instruction of the Queen Mother, to win people's hearts for you." "Nonsense, I don't believe it!" The emperor held a long sword in his hand. , desperately stabbing those Gu Xizhi puppets, almost crazy: "I will not let you succeed! Even if you can really seize my kingdom, so what? You have been cursed by my victory-weary technique, and you will not live long. !”
Then he took out the elixir from the alchemy furnace and stuffed a lot of it into his mouth: "I am the emperor and I am immortal. If you can't kill me, long live me!"
Gu Xizhi sighed softly, waved his hand and ordered: "Seal the door of this palace and let him live in this fantasy."
The door of the palace was tightly sealed, trapping the smoke from the alchemy room inside.
Gu Xizhi rubbed his brows tiredly: "Suddenly I felt a lot of pressure on my shoulders. I was very afraid that I would not be able to be the emperor well and be ashamed of the support and love of the people of Chang'an."
Liang Jiang pursed his lips: "If you can govern Weixi so that the roads are not picked up and the people live in peace, I believe that you can also be a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people, is virtuous and kind, and works hard to govern."
"How come you have learned to use these flattery words to compliment me?"
"Thousands of things can be worn, but flattery can never be worn."
Gu Xizhi chuckled and said seriously: "Liangjiang, if I am willful in the future, like the emperor brother, who was deceived by treacherous ministers without knowing it, you must not be merciful and scold me with the harshest words. Don't let me Make the same mistake as my brother."
Liangjiang hummed softly: "True words are unpleasant to the ears, but be afraid if you are afraid. When the time comes, we will hate each other and you will dislike me. The lion roars in the east of the river. When there is something to do, there is no beauty, and when there is nothing to do, it is summer and spring. Get close to those who will make you happy and praise and flatter you." "
Gu Xizhi took the initiative to reach out and held her hand tightly as if punishing.
"A good wife helped me reach the peak of my ambition, and I gave my wife ten thousand taels of gold in return. Now that I have achieved the ambition of Ling Xiao, I will treat my good wife as I have always intended."
Liang Jiang spat softly: "You have also learned to talk sweet words, and you still have one after another."
"He who loses his wife will lose all his wealth, but he who loves his wife will be prosperous. What's more, the one who wins the phoenix girl controls the world. I would rather lose this world than lose you. I am yours, and so is this world. Yours, I take the country as my employment, and all the people in the world can bear witness to it.”
Liang Jiang raised his face and looked at the towering red walls, the dazzling gilded palace, and the endless blue sky above his head, with a smile reaching his eyes.
"If you say it so seriously, I will really take it seriously."
Gu Xizhi also chuckled: "A gentleman keeps his promise and keeps his word. What's more, I have so many uncles and brothers, all of them are brave and powerful. In the future, they will be the mainstay of Chang'an and the giant rock in the sky. How can I dare to offend you? One cent?”
"Then do you still dare to marry me?"
"Don't dare."
"Um?"
"In the future, I will support you and provide for you. Don't forget, you are my aunt in Prince Pingxi's palace."
"Bah, am I that old?"
"You will be my lifelong companion, Gu Xizhi, from now on. Aren't you still old?"
The two held hands and walked down the steps, step by step, and then along the long corridor, which seemed to never end.
Ten days later, the new emperor obeyed God's will and ascended the throne as emperor. His reign was named Liang, and he was known as Liang Emperor in history.
On the day of his accession to the throne, Emperor Liang consecrated Liang Jiang, the princess of Liangguo Gongfu, as his queen, Concubine Xie as the empress dowager Ming Xian, and Mrs. Liang as the first-class wife of the duke.
The officers and men were rewarded based on their merits and appointed on their merit.
The emperor and the empress joined hands to eradicate traitors, appoint virtuous people to innovate, open up their voices, take a truce to rest, work hard to govern, and create a peaceful and clear rule.
