Shen Lindong looked at King Xian's face with great interest. He only saw the anxiety on King Xian's face, and felt a little ridiculous in his heart. King Xian naturally knew that he was just treating him as a puppet, but he didn't expect that King Xian would go so far as to claim the throne.
He was so anxious that he didn't want to wait for a moment. He took two steps forward. The wise king because
He took two steps back in fear and involuntarily, with a flattering smile on his face, just as he always did when meeting Emperor Dade. But now Emperor Dade was dead, and his body was still placed in the center of the Zhengde Hall. He looked at it by mistake.
When I glanced at the body of Emperor Dade, I saw that his eyes were open and seemed to be staring at him.
"Ah?!" King Xian jumped up in fright and pointed at the body of Emperor Dade.
Shen Lindong was startled by his cry and said angrily: "What is your ghost name?"
The wise king said: "That - that - that person is not dead!"
Everyone looked over and saw Emperor Dade in armor looking at them with his eyes open. However, this man was already dead, probably because he had his eyes open because of regrets on his deathbed. Shen Lindong frowned and said: "Move him down.
It's an eyesore." When everyone saw this, they immediately moved the body of Emperor Dade away. However, everyone had different moods. Some soldiers even panicked unconsciously when they thought that they were transporting a dragon body.
At this time, the wise king continued to persuade: "Only when I ascend the throne at this moment can I legitimately appoint you as the general marshal of the world's soldiers and horses. Can you command the world's soldiers and horses as you wish and kill the traitor Zhang Xiaowu. Otherwise, over time, the morale of the army will be shaken, and everyone will
King Chuqin’s army will also come one after another.”
Shen Lindong couldn't help but look at Hu Yanzhan, but Hu Yanzhan was already dead, so he could only look at Shen Lindong.
Kang Tianen felt happy and sad at the same time. What was sad was the death of his friend Hu Yanzhan, and what was happy was his death. Once Hu Yanzhan died, he naturally became Shen Lindong's only military advisor.
Kang Tianen knew that this was his moment to show off. He immediately saluted with both hands and stepped forward and said: "General, now is when we are strong and the enemy is weak. We must not give up Longdu, which is within easy reach. And Zhang Xiaowu only has two men at best.
Thousands of people, nearly 20,000 of us can
With a large army that is good at fighting, and reinforcements coming to kill him, how can he cause a little splash? Even one person with a bow and arrow can kill him into a sieve. Therefore, Zhang Xiaowu has nothing to fear, our army only needs chaos
The arrows shot out and they killed and wounded several people before fleeing."
Shen Lindong said: "I'm not afraid of him——"
Kang Tianen added: "If you are Zhang Xiaowu, the most important thing to do at this moment is to return to Youzhou and reorganize the army? Without soldiers in hand, he will not be able to do anything he wants to do."
Shen Lindong rolled his eyes and figured it out. He immediately laughed and said, "Well, if I were Zhang Xiaowu, I would probably have fled outside the city by now."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Ding Zhen also added: "General, we brothers have worked hard to survive, and we have to wait for today."
Shen Lindong thought about it and decided resolutely: "King Xian, I will help you ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor immediately! You make me the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and I will issue an order to encircle and suppress the traitor Zhang Xiaowu!"
Kang Tian'en said: "Tonight, a court report will be sent out to inform the world that Zhang Xiaowu killed the Dade Emperor and conspired to rebel. General, you will stop it after you discover it, and defeat the traitor Zhang Xiaowu under the protection of the wise king and other courtiers."
Shen Lindong laughed, and then asked: "What do the officials say?"
Kang Tianen curled his lips and said: "As long as the virtuous king ascends the throne, they will only be loyal to the new emperor, and they will not care about other things. General, don't worry, they are just grasshoppers who will fall with the wind." Everyone laughed.
Shen Lindong said: "In that case, the wise king - prepare to ascend the throne."
"Okay." The wise king was overjoyed, and even because he had no time to hide his expression, his face became distorted, stretching his originally handsome face like a clown. His long-cherished wish came true today, how could he control himself.
Shen Lindong smiled faintly, but he had his own concerns in his heart.
So surrounded by everyone, the wise king Xuanyuan Zijin eagerly sat on the dragon throne. First, all the soldiers knelt in front of him and shouted long live the mountain. Then Shen Lindong asked all the harem ladies and eunuchs to kneel on the ground and kowtow to the mountain and shout long live the mountain.
, Shen Lindong then sent people to the homes of hundreds of officials to arrest people and enter the Zhengde Hall of the palace. A coronation ceremony was held early in the morning. At the coronation ceremony, the imperial edict to kill Zhang Xiaowu and the appointment of Shen Lindong as the Grand Marshal of the Army were announced.
That night, the wise king Xuanyuan Zijin and Shen Lindong discussed changing the reign name to Pingle and announced that this year would be the first year of Pingle, abolishing the name of the sixth year of Dade. However, this kind of waste paper of the reign name has never happened in history.
There had been, which immediately aroused protests from some officials living in the Eight Departments and Sixth Academy of the Imperial City, especially the masters of the Hanlin Academy. They were mature, prudent and dedicated to serving the country and strictly required to abide by the laws of their ancestors. How could they change the reign name at will?
The wise king said angrily: "Even if you want to change the reign name, you still block it like this. What else can you want to block in the future? Do you want to block my enthronement ceremony tomorrow?"
The little eunuch on the side quickly reminded: "It's the ceremony today."
"Yes, today's ceremony!" the wise king said angrily.
The professors of the Hanlin Academy did not dare to speak, but they glared and turned away. King Xian was even more angry when he saw their uncooperative appearance. In the past, he had a very good relationship with the professors of the Hanlin Academy, but he did not expect to hear that he had ascended the throne today.
It's really irritating for these people to behave like this when they proclaim themselves emperor.
Shen Lindong squinted his eyes, and with a flash of light, he said: "Anyone who refuses to obey will be killed!"
Just when Emperor Pingle was amusing himself and proclaimed himself emperor, Zhang Xiaowu had already assembled his troops and rushed to the palace.
When a faint ray of morning light shone on the faces of everyone, Zhang Xiaowu looked around and saw young faces. They were resolute and determined, not afraid of anything, and even had strong admiration for him in their eyes.
. He knew that many people would definitely die here today, and he even felt that less than half of the people here would survive, and these people all followed him because they believed in him. Thinking of this, he suddenly
Regret for having given in.
"I retreated again and again. I thought my concession would bring peace, but I didn't expect that I was giving in, but I couldn't get any peace." Zhang Xiaowu sighed. Because of his physical illness, he originally wanted to be quiet.
He even thought of the martial arts novel "The Swordsman" he once read, in which Liu Zhengfeng of the Hengshan faction wanted to wash his hands in a golden basin and leave the world, but he never thought of entering the world.
Deep as the sea.
"Maybe I shouldn't give in." Zhang Xiaowu said in his heart.
The palace gate was in front of him, Zhang Xiaowu raised the purple gold mace in his hand, everyone stopped, Zhang Xiaowu took a deep breath, it seemed that there was still blood in the air, but next, the smell of blood would be even stronger.
"Holy Han!" Zhang Xiaowu shouted.
"Ten thousand years -" the soldiers roared in response.
Zhang Xiaowu's eyes were fixed on the main entrance of the palace, where hundreds of rebel soldiers had gathered. When these people saw the army led by Zhang Xiaowu in the morning mist, they were frightened and fled into the imperial city. He shouted: "
Today, the traitor who will destroy the country! Kill!"
"kill!"
The soldiers rushed towards the palace like a tide.
