Chapter 23 fourth quarter

At two o'clock on the fourth watch, right tuck the door. "How? How?" Shi Deyi asked Xu Jiwei anxiously, no longer the calmness he had an hour ago.It will be dawn soon, but at this time, not only King Yong is missing, but Sima Guang, Wang Anshi, Fan Chunren and others are also missing.Han Wei, Su Zhe and Lu Dafang live far away, so it's fine if they haven't arrived at this time, but Ma, Wang, and Fan, no matter how slow the time is, they should arrive soon.The only ones he is detaining now are Minister of the Ministry of Officials Wang Gui, Yushi Zhongcheng Liu Zhi, and several Hanlin scholars; even Han Zhongyan and Li Qingchen are gone.No matter how stupid Shi Deyi was, he already knew that things had changed.

Xu Jiwei shook his head, and said: "I've asked various departments, but they all said that I haven't seen it. Will it be..." "Where's Funing Hall? Where's Zhu Dacheng?" Shi Deyi interrupted Xu Jiwei angrily.According to the plan, Xu Jiwei should lead his troops to Kaifeng Mansion at this time. "Fu Ning Palace is still under attack, it should be captured soon. Zhu Dacheng's side..." "Still attacking!" Shi Deyi stamped his feet anxiously, "If I knew this was the case, I might as well allocate more troops to help Zhu Dacheng."

Xu Jiwei glanced at Shi Deyi uneasily: "But Zhu Dacheng...Zhu Dacheng is dead..." "What?!" Shi Deyi almost jumped up. Although in the original plan, he did not expect Zhu Dacheng to win against Yang Shifang and Tian Liewu, but at this moment, Shi Deyi really knew the seemingly meticulous The plan can be so full of loopholes.It doesn't matter where you can get it, Shi Deyi needs a victory to support his will, and those who follow him in the mutiny need a victory to boost their morale! But Xu Jiwei was a little ignorant of current affairs: "Someone found his body, and the subordinate officials are about to report..."

"Come on! Come on!" Shi Deyi had no choice but to slap his swollen face at this time to pretend to be fat, and said lightly, "I never expected him to succeed." "Then... the guard, what should we do now?" "Huh?" Shi De looked at Xu Jiwei, and couldn't help but be surprised. He saw the wavering look in Xu Jiwei's eyes! "Is there any good or bad?" Shi De pretended to be more calm after a meal, squinting his eyes and smiling, "A little accident is inevitable." "But..." Xu Jiwei is not so easy to deceive.He was not the mastermind, and when he saw something was wrong, he beheaded Shi Deyi's father and son with a knife. Since then, no one knew that he had also participated in the rebellion, and he had made great contributions without fault.

But Shi Deyi didn't allow him to say anything more: "Quickly give the order to close the palace gate!" "A shift?" Shi Deyi pursed his lips tightly, and said with a sneer: "Have you ever heard of coercing the emperor to order the princes? Take the remaining two or three hundred people who can be brought with you, and attack the Palace of Funing with all your strength!" "Deling!" Shi Deyi's words seemed to let Xu Jiwei see the dawn of victory again.As long as you capture Funing Palace, you will have the biggest bargaining chip.Why didn't I think of this sooner?

Shi Deyi glanced at Xu Jiwei through his squinted eyes, he was not as naive as Xu Jiwei, Shi Deyi knew what kind of people the Imperial City Secretary was, and captured Funing Hall?He made this terrible move because he had no choice but to make a last-ditch effort.If he broke the boat and fought with all his strength, he might turn defeat into victory. If he continued like this, Xu Jiwei would behead him before the counter-insurgency troops arrived. However, he himself gradually realized that victory was already slim!Although he wanted to tell himself that his mutiny tonight was really a last resort, and there was no way out, so he gave it a go.But in my heart, I still felt unspeakable annoyance, the emperor died at such a bad time, King Yong was really incompetent, and he couldn't enter the palace!He suddenly remembered something: Didn't King Yong retreat in cold blood?This boneless King Yong always thinks about the throne of the emperor in his heart, but he is afraid that something will happen, but he shrinks back... But such a dirty person actually pushed me into this situation!At this time, he poured all his resentment on King Yong: he enjoys wealth and honor if it succeeds, but I will be beheaded if it fails!Shi Deyi felt that he had been tricked by King Yong, this time is good, this time is good, then King Yong did not enter the palace, maybe it will not be his fault when Tianming settles the case!

Shi Deyi was annoyed and blamed himself at the same time, and his heart became more and more aggrieved. While Xu Jiwei went to gather his subordinates, he looked up at the sky. The heavy snow that had fallen all night was about to stop. Even the damn north wind, It also gradually became smaller. Four o'clock at three o'clock, Funing Palace. Li Xiang'an and Chen Yan knelt on the ground, hugging Empress Dowager Gao's feet tightly, and they kowtowed their heads with blood on their foreheads! "The queen mother, the queen mother is the body of ten thousand gold!" "What a body of ten thousand gold!" Empress Dowager Gao scolded, "My Gao family has been a general for generations..." She stopped suddenly when she said this, "Mr. Shi, what's wrong with you?"

Everyone followed the prestige, but saw Shi Yue appeared at the entrance of the main hall, his left arm was wrapped in a silk cloth, and the cloth was full of blood. "The Queen Mother can't go out." Shi Yue said in a deep voice, "These traitors are insane, they are almost desperate!" "Are there no reinforcements yet?" Empress Dowager Gao is a smart person. "Reinforcements will arrive soon." Shi Yue said with great certainty, "As soon as the fifth watch arrives, the rebels will definitely disperse! At this time, even if some people are waiting and watching, they already know the success or failure. Calculate the time, within two quarters of an hour at the latest , General Huyan will lead the reinforcements first."

Empress Dowager Gao looked into Shi Yue's eyes, and there was no hesitation in Shi Yue's eyes. She finally nodded lightly, and said softly: "If the reinforcements don't arrive, the saint and I will never be humiliated." "Don't worry, Empress Dowager." Shi Yue greeted Empress Dowager Gao, "Shi Yue will not become a sinner of the Song family!" After finishing speaking, he bowed to Empress Dowager Gao, then turned and exited the main hall. Outside the main hall, corpses were scattered all over the place.Ren Duobaozhong was shot by an arrow in his back. He was leaning against a stake with his shirt on at this time, and was being bandaged.Hu Yanguo and Gao Jian beside him were all killed in battle, no one followed him like a shadow, but his guards of the Xixia squad were also dead or injured.Li Shunju was hit by three arrows, lying on the corridor, silently looking at Shi Yue.

For those outside the temple, it is already difficult to find one who is not injured.Even Shi Yue was injured by random arrows, let alone those who wanted to charge forward? "Shi Shuai..." Seeing Shi Yue coming out, Ren Duobaozhong reluctantly put on his robe, threw off the two imperial physicians who bandaged him, strode up to Shi Yue, stared into Shi Yue's eyes, and asked provocatively: "Shi Yue Do Shuai think we can still win?" "Yes." Shi Yue looked back at him and said lightly. "Haha..." Ren Duo Baozhong couldn't help laughing out loud.He stretched out his finger and pointed around, looking at Shi Yue sarcastically.At this time, there are no more than a hundred people outside the palace who can fight. "Bao Zhong has heard that Shi Shuai knows the art of war and is a good general, but today's matter... hehe!"

"The reinforcements will arrive within two quarters of an hour!" Shi Yue still looked at Ren Duo Baozhong calmly, "I really don't believe that the general will not be able to guard the last two quarters of an hour." Ren Duo Baozhong sneered, and said loudly: "If within two quarters of an hour, King Qin's army can arrive, the last general will be able to defend it. But dare to ask Shi Shuai, why are you so sure that there will be reinforcements within two quarters of an hour?" "Because of loyalty!" "Loyalty?" Ren Duo Baozhong was stunned for a moment, with a look of disdain on his face. But Shi Yue looked around at the crowd and said sharply: "Because I believe that there are traitors and thieves in this world, but there are also loyal people. For Yang Shifang, Hu Yanzhong, and Tian Liewu, as long as the rebels don't pass on their heads for a moment, I will Xiang Bian believes that they will definitely lead their troops to attack the king! Calculating the time, within two quarters of an hour, reinforcements will arrive!" Ren Duobao loyally didn't believe it, and just didn't take it seriously, but he heard Li Shun raised his hand to cover his chest, and said loudly in pain: "I believe! I believe in Shi Xianggong's words, General Yang and General Huyan will definitely lead reinforcements to come!" Ren Duo Baozhong looked at Shi Yue and then at Li Shunju, he didn't believe it at all, but up to now, he could only follow Shi Yue to his death.Although he was impulsive and couldn't help ridiculing Shi Yue a few words, but he was not so stupid that he wanted to disturb the morale of the army and seek a quick death.He turned around and walked back to the pillar, raised his saber, and hissed, "Anyone who can still hold a knife will follow me!" At this moment, a sound of shouting and killing was heard from outside.A servant hurriedly climbed up the palace wall, and after just one glance, he was so excited that he danced and fell off the palace wall. "What happened?" Ren Duo Baozhong rushed forward and asked. But the waiter got up and shouted excitedly: "Reinforcement! Reinforcement!" "Ah?" In Funing Hall, all the survivors couldn't help but be ecstatic.Shi Yue, who had always been calm, grabbed a servant and shouted excitedly: "Quick, hurry up and report to the Queen Mother, Saint, Saint!" Ren Duo Baozhong glanced back at Shi Yue, and shouted loudly at the more than a hundred guards and servants gathered around him: "Kill!" He rushed out holding his saber high. Shi Congrong never imagined that in just a split second, the situation would be reversed.King Yong has not been here for a long time, and the Funing Palace has been unable to attack for a long time. Seeing that the wind and snow have stopped, and it will be dawn soon, Shi Congrong's heart has been agitated.He also knew that the defenders of the Palace of Funing were at the end of their strength, but his subordinates were already complaining to the sky.Where have these arrogant soldiers of the Imperial City Division seen such a brave resistance!If it weren't for the absolute superiority in numbers, they would have already scattered and fled in all directions, but in such a heavy snowstorm, after fighting such a brave opponent for almost an hour and a half, they were already too tired to complain.Shi Congrong had no choice but to order to rest for a while, and was ready to go all out later, and then captured the Palace of Funing. Unexpectedly, when they were resting, some squad guards and a group of Tianwu army suddenly killed them from behind, and the thousand or so people became a mess in an instant.No one knows how many enemies there are, but Shi Congrong is sure that the enemy's military strength will never exceed his own, but those soldiers seem to have no brains, and no one wants to resist. Even though Shi Congrong restrained him hoarsely, he still only cared about it. Running for their lives in all directions, only a few squad guards were still desperately resisting. Shi Congrong chopped down three or four deserters with a knife, but found that it was of no avail.He saw more than a hundred people rushing out from Funing Hall, under the attack from both inside and outside, Shi Congrong couldn't help closing his eyes, and shouted loudly: "It's over, it's over!" At this time, Shi Congrong had fallen into the abyss of despair. He raised the knife and wanted to kill himself, but as soon as the knife was placed on his neck, he began to fear the pain and threw the knife away in a hurry.He looked around in a daze, and was about to flee like those rout soldiers, but suddenly a gust of cold wind hit the back of his neck, he turned around abruptly, only to see a servant of the imperial city official slashing at his neck with a knife... "Forget it!" Shi Congrong thought suddenly in his mind. "The traitor Shi Congrong is dead! I killed Shi Congrong!" Among the rebellious army, a servant of the imperial city held Shi Congrong's head high in his hands, and shouted loudly, as if he was afraid that others would not know his credit. The yelling did have an effect. In the distance, Yang Shifang, who had not participated in the battle, looked at him with disgust, took dozens of guards to protect Zhao servant, picked up a bow, and shot an arrow through his throat. Four o'clock at four o'clock, the right bank gate. Shi Deyi and Xu Jiwei stared blankly at the soldiers of the imperial city retreating all the way, "What happened? What happened?!" Xu Jiwei crazily grabbed the soldiers and screamed. Something stuck in, and then there was a sharp pain. He staggered and turned around, only to see Shi Deyi looking at him ferociously. At some point, the soldiers under him also turned into ghosts. The defeated soldiers disappeared in the blink of an eye... Shi Deyi kicked Xu Jiwei hard, not even needing a sword, quickly took off his coat, and ran towards Xihua Gate.But he didn't run a few steps, when he heard a gust of wind blowing from the back of his head, he heard a "bang", his eyes went dark, and he fell down. "Unexpectedly, my wealth and honor will be fulfilled." Tong Guan looked at Shi Deyi, who was knocked unconscious by himself with a city brick, touched his head again, said "Amitabha" in a low voice, found a saber on the ground, Cut off Shi Deyi's head, tore off a piece of cloth to wrap it, and sneaked back into the gutter near the Academy of National History where he had just hid. In such a time of turmoil, and holding this great wealth in his hands, his father-in-law Tong must not be accidentally injured. Almost at the same time, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, and Fan Chunren led the imperial guards and Banzhi guards outside the Donghua Gate, Zuoye Gate, and Youye Gate, rushing in to the Funing Hall.In the north of the city, Han Wei, the privy envoy, and Li Qingchen, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, commanded the forbidden army and Banzhi guards to hunt down the Banzhi guards who fled after being blocked at Jinglongmen; Submarine fire team, "escort" King Yong back to the palace... "Miscellaneous Records of the Xining Dynasty and the Field: The Rebellion of Shi Deyi": On January 8th of the eighteenth year, there was a heavy snowstorm at night, and the emperor collapsed in the Palace of Funing.Shi Deyi, the commander of the imperial city, and his adopted son Congrong, Xu Jiwei, the commander, and Zhu Dacheng, the commander of the Golden Spear Squad, seized the Imperial City Commander's Talisman. Attacking the Two Mansions and Funing Hall; Zhu Dacheng attacking the East Palace... ... Shi Zhongyan Yin Kaifeng, first investigate the matter.He sent his son Zhichi to sue Sima Guang, Wang Anshi, and Fan Chunren, and the three princes then led troops into the palace to suppress the rebellion. ... The past generations have passed down the merits of calming chaos, Shi, Han, Ma, Wang, and Fan Wugong are the most. Luanping, on the 9th, the crown prince was located in the Funing Hall, obeyed the imperial edict, and changed his name to Yuxu. "Wild Records: "The Miscellaneous Records of the Government and the Field Are Too False" Article: The "Miscellaneous Records of the Xining Dynasty and the Field" written by the Li family of Jiangling is the most inaccurate and unreliable history.Although Li was born at that time, he was far away in Jiangling, and he never went to Bianjing in his life. All his records are rumors, so they are not credible.It records that Shi Deyi's rebellion, and the pacification of the rebellion are all attributed to Ma, Wang, and Fan Sangong, and most scholars are ignorant of it.Shi Gong and Han Gong made the highest contributions to smoothing the rebellion of stone thieves.In Shigong Suwei Palace, if the command is determined, the body is wounded by the arrow, but the color does not change, and the two palaces are safe.And sending Hu Yanzhong to save Donggong first, Feigong can't do this.At that time, the East Palace was almost killed by the Zhu thief, and it was inevitable for Hu Yanzhong.Therefore, Huyan Gong Shaosheng's relatives are second only to Yang and Tian.However, the Li family didn't understand the rebellion of the stone thieves and intended to welcome King Yong, but it was absurd to say that Duke Han had investigated the matter first... "Yiluo Jiwen·Xining's Last Edict": In the eighteenth year of Xining, the emperor died in Funing Hall.The imperial edict established the prince as emperor and changed his name to Yuxu.There are three other things in the edict: first, the crown prince is young, and the empress dowager has the right to deal with military and state affairs, and the military and state affairs are all adjudicated together; first, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Shi Yue, Han Wei, Wang Gui, and Han Zhongyan are assistants; The king who regained Yanyun. It is not the emperor's original intention to pass down the imperial edict to establish auxiliary government.At that time, the scholar-bureaucrats also blamed An Tao and Li Qingchen for "disorderly fate" in their handwriting.
