In the autumn of the seventeenth year of Yuanwu, the capital Chang'an ushered in the most severe crisis in history.As the capital of the Northern Tang Dynasty, even in the 800 years of turmoil in the Spring and Autumn Period, this majestic city has never been exposed to the enemy's iron hooves and acts as the last barrier.On the other hand, if the crisis reached this level, even the capital was besieged, the Northern Tang Dynasty would have been subverted long ago, and there would not have been a towering dynasty for all these years.However, with the rise of rebels in various places, and all under the command of Ren Zhen, hundreds of thousands of troops are violent, and Chang'an is about to face the only fierce battle in thousands of years.The empress has run out of energy and can no longer take charge of the country.The imperial city is here, the throne is also here, and the world knows where she can escape, and the long-lost dawn is coming.On the fifth day of the ninth month, Ren Zhen led the army to set off from Huiji County.There were unforeseen circumstances, and at the same time he invaded Chang'an, there was also an unexpected rainstorm.Black clouds crushed the city, and the lead-colored clouds shrouded the sky, accompanied by rolling thunder, as if the gods of heavenly soldiers would lurk behind the scenes, waiting for thunder to descend and destroy this dynasty stained with blood and sins.In the city, the streets and alleys are empty, and the residents have long chosen to flee.Only the houses and terraces stood in the wind and rain, and the walls and tiles lost their luster, showing gray and black, deep and depressing, as if a solemn funeral was being held.In the late afternoon, at the end of the streets in the south of the city, a horse-drawn carriage suddenly rushed out, galloped in the rain curtain, and went straight to the outside of the city, splashing countless water along the road.The big war is coming, and those who dare to go out of the city at this time are ordinary characters.The carriage was stopped at the gate of the city, and the people in the carriage did not show up, but stretched out a white palm, and held the royal token for a moment, and the guards trembled, and hurriedly opened the city to let them go, for fear of delaying the adults' business trip.The horses spewed hot breath and galloped wildly in the fields outside the city, and the two people in the carriage were jolting with the carriage, and they were in a state of uneasiness.One person has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his demeanor is graceful, he is the current Prince of Wutang, the former King of Liang, and Wu Jiusi.The other person was black-robed and carrying a sword, with a deep breath, and it was the dark form of the deputy commander.After the withdrawal of the Southern Jin Dynasty, Ren Zhen rebelled in Beihai, and he quickly escorted the grain and grass back to Beijing to maintain the last branch of the capital.These two went out of the city to seek peace for the empress.Now, the coalition forces are surrounding the capital, and the difference in strength between the two sides is obvious, knowing that there is little hope for negotiation and peace, she still has to try to avoid this death battle.The trip was life-threatening, and the two were under great pressure, and neither of them was in the mood to talk.Ten miles out of the city, they arrived at the camp of the righteous army and saw Ren Zhen.The three of them are all old acquaintances, and when they meet again, they are no longer human.Last time Ren Zhen was invited to visit, King Liang looked arrogant and didn't take him seriously, and now that the two armies are facing each other, it is impossible for him to be polite, sitting lazily on the handsome seat, staring at the map, and not taking a look at them.The atmosphere in the camp was cold, and the rain was beating on the felt cloth of the camp tent, and the sound was clear to the ears.King Liang stood in front of the hall and glanced at the dark form, and the dark form was helpless, and took the initiative to speak: "Master Hou, Your Majesty sent me here today to ask you if there is something about her neglecting you and making you angry" He smiled flatteringly, and he couldn't see the slightest bit of Snow Shadow Guard's toughness.Since it is a peace, it is inevitable to be subservient in front of Ren Zhen, and King Liang refuses to condescend, so he has to do this errand.Under the gaze of the two, Ren Zhen still looked down at the map, and was silent for a while before casually replying, "No." ”The dark form moved a few steps forward and continued: "In this case, why do you want to be angry with her, and come back to ask her for her guilt, she treats you well, treats you as a mentor and friend, and originally planned to make you king, she thinks that you assist the Beihai Gao family, and they will definitely not treat you like this in the future" Ren Zhen frowned slightly, didn't want to talk nonsense with them, and looked up at him."
Don't pretend, let's get straight to the point, my true background, you must already know.I have a deep blood feud with Wu Qingyi, I don't share the sky, what else is there to talk about, the capital will be broken in the future, and he will definitely die" The dark face stiffened.According to the empress's meaning, she originally wanted to pretend not to know, so as not to make it impossible for both parties to get off the stage, but she didn't expect Ren Zhen to be resolute and stab the window paper at once.The truth of the bloody case of "this" has been revealed to the world, the evidence is conclusive, and there is no way to argue with the secret.Seeing this, King Liang didn't dare to be silent any longer, and said softly: "The incident back then was purely provoked by traitors to deceive Shengcong, and the first emperor was negligent for a while, which led to an unjust case.People can't be resurrected after death, and the first emperor has passed away, why are you angry with Your Majesty today" Ren Zhen sneered, "I also want to quibble about Yuan Benxi's conspiracy, Xiao Tieumbrella executes, Wu Qingyi fanned the flames in front of the first emperor, such a trick, I really think I can hide it from me" King Liang's face was bitter, "You really wronged Your Majesty Ling Zun was killed back then, and she was also very sad, but unfortunately she couldn't do anything."
Siren has passed away, and now talk about revenge, what is the point of worrying about it, Your Majesty will immediately help Ling Zun rehabilitate him, posthumously crown him as the king of England, and you will inherit it.In addition," Ren Zhen suddenly raised his hand and interrupted his conditions, "The great revenge of killing his parents, but he was brought to the table and used as a bargaining chip for the promotion of officials, such an act, how can I Ren Zhen be shameless for you, I still feel disgusting" King Liang's eyes trembled, and his face was extremely embarrassed.Ren Zhen snorted coldly, "What bullshit King Ying, I have a heavy army, I can support the new king, how can I covet these false names and negotiate peace with you" The dark form was still unwilling, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty personally promised that as long as you are willing to withdraw from the army, she is willing to divide the territory with you and rule the country, and let you become a king side by side, which is far more comfortable than being a courtier of the Gao family" After that, he took out a holy decree from his sleeve and handed it to Ren Zhen.Ren Zhen took it, didn't even look at it, and threw it far into the muddy water outside the camp.Seeing that he ordered the expulsion of guests, the dark form was helpless, and said: "Since you refuse to withdraw from the army, let's talk about other things, your subordinates in the capital have all been arrested by the imperial court, and we can kill them at any time."
As far as I know, quite a few of them are your henchmen. ”Ren Zhen led his troops to the north, but in order not to startle the snake, he did not dare to withdraw all the subordinates in the capital, and only let the old Wang couple escort Wu Daosi away.After his uprising in Beihai, the imperial court was bound to arrest his subordinates.As for the gambling houses, none of them were spared.Hearing this, Ren Zhen's heart was dark.He has always been worried about the secrets of the gambling house, not long ago Yang Xuanji sneaked into the capital again, he won't be caught also He said casually: "Take these entourage, you want to blackmail me into retreating from the army, you are too whimsical." ”Darkform shook his head, "No, we want to change Mei Lang."
It's fair to exchange henchmen for henchmen. ”Ren Zhen smiled dumbly, at this juncture, Wu Qingyi was still thinking about her illegitimate child, she was really in love with calves."
Okay, this is a trivial matter, I don't care about his dog's life, I can exchange hostages with you."
As he spoke, he blinked and looked at King Liang with a smile, "It's a pity that you are the crown prince, even if you can win this battle, the future will not be yours."
You must not have imagined that Wu Qingyi wants to change Mei Lang because he is her illegitimate son" King Liang heard this, his expression changed drastically, "really" secretly coughed, signaled him with his eyes, don't fall for the divisive, and hurriedly said: "In this case, I will go back and arrange for a replacement" After that, he turned around and wanted to leave.King Liang followed behind, and before he could get out of the tent, he suddenly turned his palm into a knife, slashed at the dark head, and killed him with one blow while he was unprepared.Then, he turned to Ren Zhen and saluted, and said respectfully: "I can't hide it, the reason why Xiao Wang took the initiative to invite Ying and came to negotiate is to take the opportunity to express his loyalty and act as your internal response to the siege of the city":
