Chapter 85: Restoration
Zhao Gu stood on the empty hall and felt for the first time that the hall felt so kind before. It's so comfortable to touch the wide dragon chair that doesn't lean around.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zhu and the civil and military officials have been waiting for the order at the Meridian Gate, waiting for the emperor's summons." Since several close chamberlains around him were killed and exiled by Miao Fu, he was left with the old man's face when he was King Kang.
After a while, Zhao Gu turned around and asked, "Where is the empress dowager?"
"The Empress Dowager is in the Wufeng Building. After the civil and military officials arrive at Qi, he will come to the Chongzheng Hall to read the decree." Yan Qi replied.
"Xuan!" Zhao Gu's voice was low. After saying that, he sat down by himself.
Not long after Yan Qi went out, the civil and military officials entered one after another according to their shift. When the shift was finished, Yan Qi stood under the jade steps and shouted deeply: "My minister, Yan Qi, the servant of the door, presided over the restoration ceremony with the order of the empress dowager Yi. The ministers knelt down and welcomed the empress dowager respectfully."
The civil and military officials on both sides knelt down and shouted that the Empress Dowager was 1,000 years old. With the help of the two maids, the Empress Dowager Longyou came to the hall, walked to the jade steps and stood still, turned around, glanced at the ministers, and said slowly, "Yan Shilang, the reset ceremony begins."
"Zun Hou Jun's fate, the reset ceremony begins." Yan Qi repeated it loudly.
"Read the reinstatement edict, and the loyal minister will kneel down and listen!"
"At the invitation of my mother's kindness and bureaucrats, I will return to the throne and kiss thousands of opportunities. Deeply avoid the original intention, he specializes in peace and Rong, and seek to welcome the two saints and settle the lives. I urge you to follow up with the officials. It is said that the plan of the society is the most important, and the period of autumn prevention has been pressed. I am afraid that it will be difficult to do so. If my mother is extremely difficult, not afraid of worry and diligence, and listens to political affairs together, then I can still encourage my ministers to ask for national affairs together. Otherwise, I will never dare to be alone. Yan Qi read Zhao Gu's reset edict smoothly. After the announcement, he handed over the imperial edict to Zhao Gu's internal servant.
Return to the original place and said loudly, "Empress Dowager Xuan!"
"At the beginning of the emperor's internal meditation, Yuanzi Youchong, encouraged diligently, and the right to listen to it. It is deep, but the border is not peaceful, and autumn is urgent, and thousands of opportunities cannot be open. Today, the internal and external ministers reported to Chen and asked the emperor to restore it. If I were relieved, I would be deeply relieved. The emperor must want me to read political affairs together, and then restore it. If I am old, how can I be able to do it again? The emperor is sincere and will not return. Now I encourage him to follow the emperor's request. The country will retreat to the East Palace to fulfill his original intention.
"After reading, the ministers were in peace. Licheng."
After reading, Yan Qi was not under the jade steps, but returned to his own class in the hall.
Zhao Gudu sat on the dragon chair on all sides and looked at the ministers standing with their hands below. He abdicated to be dissatisfied with Yingyue, but like years, his heart rolled over. He calmed down and said slowly: "All you, I take care of Defu. I have encountered difficulties. At the time of the throne, the national affairs are like a rotten tree, which is about to collapse, and then the gold People invaded the south and avoided overseas, involving the danger of hundreds of rivers. Because of the difficulties of state affairs, Gu and Jin people have a desire to make peace. They want to rest and strengthen their national strength. Unexpectedly, they are blinded by traitors and belosing their teachers and humiliating the country, so they are speechless to face the ancestors and abdicate to atone for their sins. Today, the Empress Dowager's weak body is hanging on the curtain of state affairs, which is really my unfiliality. Speaking of this, Zhao seemed to be a little choked.
paused and then said, "Today, under the teachings of the empress dowager, the heir is young, supported by internal and foreign military and civilian civil and military officials, and it will be restored today. I hope that the Empress Dowager will continue to hang the curtain to help me bow. Please don't refuse. I should cheer myself up, enrich the country and strengthen the people, so as to welcome back the two saints as soon as possible, restore our land, and open up the prosperous times of the Song Dynasty.
These words of Zhao Gou are full of vitality and have the spirit of a clear master. His Highness knelt down excitedly and shouted long live.
"My reset today is really the merit of the empress dowager and the ministers, and the decree is announced!" Zhao Gu said.
The chamberlain on the side picked up the edict that had already been drawn up and pulled the eunuch's unique male duck voice.
"According to heaven's transportation, the emperor's edict said that the empress dowager Longyou is dignified and virtuous, and sincere for the country. The order has a record, and choose an auspicious day to implement the order.
The imperial battalion headquarters commanded Miao Fu to eliminate traitors, and set up a special order to set up the chief inspector of Huaixi Road, Liu Zhengyan as the deputy inspector of Huaixi Road, Zhang Kui was the transshipment judge of Tianchahuai South Road, and Wang Shixiu was the servant of the Ministry of Industry. "This is my admiration!"
After the four received the order to thank him, they saw that the Empress Dowager Longyou slowly walked to Zhao Gou and ordered the maid of honor behind her to hold the tray in her hand and take away the yellow satin on it. She saw two bronze medals like tiles. Miao Liu, who stood in his highness, suddenly jumped up, his mouth and lips were dry, and their eyes stared at the tray like shining.
After a while, Zhao Gu personally announced, "Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan, kneel down and listen."
The two of them knelt down and moaned a little hoarsely, "Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan respectfully listen to the hadith."
"Today, the Empress Dowager's decree that you two have made contributions to the country. In order to make the descendants of the Zhao never forget each other, they issued an iron scroll to avoid death and pardon the edict. If you two and the descendants of future generations do not rebel against the country and disturb the court, they will never kill them." Zhao Gu's face was expressionless, and his voice was flat and without any emotion.
How could Miao and Liu take care of this? At this time, their minds were blank, and their worries for many days were finally put down.
...
...
Linping.
Liu Guangshi and Liang Hongyu stood on a dirt slope and looked at everything in front of them.
Three days have been, and countless soldiers have been killed and injured, but this little Linping is like a hard bone, but it can't be gnawed down. The two felt a little helpless. The two roads in Linping were blocked by Ma Rouji. Moreover, the roads around Linping were narrow and useless for many people. They could not be opened at all. They could only go up by small troops, but Ma Rouji's archers were really powerful, resulting in heavy losses to their subordinates, but they could not go further.
"The two generals, Xiao Yan's commander came." Guard report.
After Xiao Yan arrived, he first told them about the reset of Zhao's structure, and then said, "The two lords of Lv discussed that although the emperor has been reset, Miao and Liu still hold more than 10,000 military horses in the imperial camp, and the threat to the emperor still exists. We must come to Lin'an. Nowadays, Linping has been unable to attack for a long time, so Lin'an City can't fight for the time being. Please defeat the enemy as soon as possible."
After listening to Xiao Yan's words, Liu Guangshi breathed angrily and greeted Lv Wang's mother loudly and expressed his concern beyond friendship.
After Liu Guangshi complained and Xiao Yan looked at the terrain in front of him, he said sadly, "It's easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the road is narrow. The strong attack can only annihilate Ma Rouji's department in a consumable way. In this way, even if we attack Linping, we will suffer heavy losses."
"Fuck! I don't know how many bows and arrows Ma Rouji brought and shot them as if they were free. It is estimated that there are more than 100,000 arrows in the past three days. Today, as usual, if his arrows are gone, it will be easy to do. Liu Guangshi scolded and said, which showed that he had been depressed in the past few days.
"If I can remove the watchtower in front of me, how long will it take for the old general to attack it?" Xiao Yan pointed to a watchtower with the most dense arrows in front of him.
"It's the watchtower that has made no progress these days." Liang Hongyu said, "This watchtower seems to be in front of you, but the road ahead is blocked by Ma Rouji. It takes several turns to go around, and all the roads are within the range of the watchtower."
"Brother Xiao, if you can remove that watchtower, I can catch Ma Rouji alive in three hours. But..." Liu Guangshi took over and said without waiting for Liang Hongyu to finish speaking, but in the end he was still skeptical of Xiao Yan's words.
"Tonight, the old general Zishi is ready to attack. If you hear a few thunders, they will immediately launch an attack. If the watchtower can still shoot arrows, Xiao Yan will apologize."
Although Xiao Yan's words were swearing, Liu Liang and his wife were still a little worried.
"Brother!" Liang Hongyu was a little worried about Xiao Yan: "If you really can't attack, you can't be in a hurry for a while. Don't take risks!"
Xiao Yan listened to Liang Hongyu's concern and said with a smile, "Sister, don't worry, I won't be in danger. You will know then."
At night, Xiao Yan took several people and carried a few wooden boxes to the back of the slope where he stood during the day and found a relatively hard place. Xiao Yan ordered to unload the boxes. In the night, only a few people were busy with what they were doing. After a while, he heard several people saying, "General, everything is ready."
"No problem!" Xiao Yan asked by pointing to the watchtower in front of him by the moonlight.
"Don't worry, General! It's so close that he hasn't been smashed. Even if he can't be killed, they won't be scared to death. When they recovered, the two generals Liu Liang had already arrived in front of him.
"Hmm!" Xiao Yan was relieved.
...
...
"General, it's almost time. Why is there no movement at all?" A subordinate asked.
"It's not time, calm down." Liu Guangshi comforted others. In fact, he was also a little anxious, but he could not leak it out in front of his subordinates. This is the way for officials. It seems unfathomable that he can dominate others.
He couldn't figure out what method Xiao Yan could use to take down the watchtower in front of him, sneak attack and use it. As a result, he was ambushed by Ma Rouji, and more than 300 people were completely destroyed. The catapul is so big that it can't be opened in this place. Besides, Xiao Yan doesn't have a cataptator! Liu Guangshi was puzzled. Anyway, it's almost time, and there will be a result soon.
Just when Liu Guangshi was still thinking, a thunderous sound suddenly came out of his ear. The loud sound lasted for about a meal. The loud noise stopped. The personal soldiers hurried over and said excitedly, "General, look!"
Liu Guangshi was still immersed in the loud noises. "He knew that this was the sound of gunfire, but the Song Dynasty had a firearms bureau, specializing in manufacturing artillery and explosives, but the artillery of the firearms bureau was huge, very heavy, not easy to transport, and fired solid bullets. But looking at the current situation of the watchtower in front of us, it is very hot. It is clear that there are also explosives in the shells. Liu Guangshi is a veteran of the battlefield. How can he not know the power of this kind of thing? If Xiao Yan really has such a powerful thing, if it is used to deal with the Golden Man, the end of the Golden Man is estimated to be soon, but in case...
Liu Guangshi didn't dare to think much, and he didn't have time to think too much about it. The watchtower in front of him was burning for a moment, and people were boiling. The people of Ma Roujibu on the opposite side were like headless flies. For a while, he could not be able to organize effective defense, which was the best time to attack.
"Wo!" Liu Guangshi pulled out his waist knife and shouted, "Brothers, the opportunity to make contributions has come. Go!"
Take the lead in rushing forward.
