Volume 1: The Wind Rises in Bingzhou Chapter 148(1/2)
Chapter 148 The Majesty is Majestic
"From today on, you are a member of Zuo Yiwei's army. While enjoying the supreme glory, you must also fight bloody for this empire. Only in this way can you get everything you want, money, power, and women.
"Lu Zhaoying looked at the dark crowd in front of him and shouted loudly: "There are tens of thousands of rebels outside the city who are short of food, grass and arrows. Raise the swords in your hands and seize everything that belongs to you. His Highness the King of Han will be watching from a distance.
As for you, those who have done meritorious service will be rewarded, and those who have failed will be killed. Soldiers, His Highness the King of Han is with us."
"Pledge to be loyal to the King of Han to the death!"
"Pledge to be loyal to the King of Han to the death!"
…………
Above the school ground, there were waves of roaring sounds, like tigers descending from the mountain, shaking the entire school ground and the whole of Chang'an. Even Li Daen outside the city could feel the murderous aura above the school ground.
"From now on, the aristocratic families no longer have private soldiers." Wei Ting looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers in the distance who were already in a state of excitement. Although these people were all dressed in different clothes, some had Pei's sleeves on their sleeves and some were Wei's sleeves.
But at this time, could Wei Ting clearly feel that these people no longer belong to him from now on?
"Master Wei is too pessimistic!" Wei Siren on the side said dissatisfiedly: "No matter how authoritarian and domineering His Highness the King of Han is, it is common for aristocratic families to raise private soldiers. It has been like this for hundreds of years, whether it was the former Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty or not.
, or the Supreme Emperor, have never thought of preventing our family from raising private soldiers, and the Lu family in Hedong also has five hundred private soldiers!"
"Look at these people, or they may be infected by Lu Zhaoying's words. They will fight bloody battles on the city wall, and eventually die under Li Daen's shooting. Some people may miss their old master, but once they enter
On the battlefield, these people will be unable to help themselves, either becoming cannon fodder on the battlefield, or being killed by their own people." Wei Ting said lightly: "How could it be that simple for Cen Wenwen to take action? These people are originally
Those who serve as cannon fodder, one actively serves as cannon fodder, and the other passively serves as cannon fodder. In fact, they are all the same. We cannot take these people back."
"How abominable!" Wei Siren's complexion changed drastically, he clenched his fist fiercely, and snorted coldly: "When the King of Han returns, I will definitely participate in this Cen Wenwen. The King of Han has never issued an order saying that we and other aristocratic families are not allowed to support private individuals.
Bing, what qualifications does Cen Wen have to ask us to cancel this centuries-old tradition?"
"Hmph, if you complain to the King of Han, I'm afraid Lu Zhaoci will really issue an edict, and he will take this opportunity to completely separate the term private soldier from the family." Wei Ting snorted coldly: "
Look at this place. They are composed of private soldiers from large and small families in Chang'an City. There are tens of thousands of them. Usually nothing happens to these people, but once the time comes, these people are enough to overthrow an imperial court. Lu Zhao
What kind of person Ci is, he would not know this. The reason why Cen Wenwen dared to do such a thing without Lu Zhaoci's consent is because Cen Wenwen knew what Lu Zhaoci was thinking, so he was unscrupulous."
"Can we just let it go?" Wei Siren said dissatisfied.
"Of course we won't just leave it at that." Wei Ting said with a smile: "These people were built up by our family's hard work. Now they are all used by Lu Zhaoying to resist Li Daen's attack. They can be regarded as members of our family.
After Lu Zhaoci returns, as long as we don't say anything, he will feel embarrassed and will compensate us. It is better than not allowing us to raise private soldiers. As long as he doesn't give the order, then
We can continue to support them. It’s just a matter of time.”
"I'm so unwilling!" Wei Siren had a look of resentment on his face...
"The illustrious monarchy will begin from now on." Wei Ting narrowed his eyes, looked to the east, and said calmly: "Lu Zhaoci is different from Li Yuan or other kings in the past dynasties. He is strong, he is domineering, he is wise,
In the past hundreds of years, no one has ever established a dynasty so quickly. That is to say, this person defeated all the princes and forces since the late Sui Dynasty at a young age. This person is no small matter. Under this person's rule, we, aristocratic families,
Everyone has to be careful. After all, the example of the Chai family has not gone far. I suspect that the huge amount of property carried by the old man of the Chai family fell into the hands of His Highness the King of Han. Otherwise, how could His Highness the Han Dynasty have such huge financial resources to build the Jinyiwei? Hum, just
With the Hedong Lu family, that is far from possible."
"You mean the Chai family was destroyed by him?" Wei Siren jumped up in fright and said in surprise.
"I'm afraid it's him." Wei Ting snorted coldly: "He has a grudge against the Chai family. At that time, only his Zuo Yiwei army was stationed near Huoyi. Who can destroy evidence and get rid of the army so quickly and effectively?
Who else? What's more, as far as I know, since that battle, the soldiers of Zuo Yiwei's army have become extremely rich and have received a lot of benefits. Therefore, Zuo Yiwei's army has obeyed the orders of the King of Han.
Even Li Shimin back then couldn't command it."
"There is no greater traitor or ruthless person in the world than the King of Han." Wei Siyan said lightly, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Let's go, with this new force, I'm afraid Chang'an can last longer. Li Da'en has failed. His food and grass can only last three days at most. Bows and arrows, equipment, etc. can't last much longer. His Highness the King of Han will be back soon."
Wei Ting looked deeply at the tens of thousands of soldiers not far away, said nothing, got on his carriage, and headed towards his home. Behind him, Wei Siyan and his three brothers also got on their carriages and headed towards the Wei Mansion.
And go.
At this time, on the bank of the Yellow River, Lu Sicheng and others also got off the carriage. In front of them was the roaring Yellow River. The crossing of the Yellow River was busy. When Puzhou Governor Dugu Jin heard that the old man of the Lu family was coming to Beijing, he quickly ordered people
After clearing everything on the ferry, he personally accompanied Lu Sicheng and Lu Changqing with a cautious look on his face. Who are these people! They are all from the royal family! They will still be the royal family in the future!
"Did the envoy say that Chang'an was besieged?" Lu Changqing asked curiously.
"I dare not call you an envoy." Puzhou governor Dugu Jin said quickly: "My lord, please rest assured. Although Li Da'en has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, he is deep in the hinterland of our army and lacks food, grass, weapons, and even less bows and arrows. Chang'an City is high
Chi Shen cannot be attacked by anyone. What's more, there are four generals stationed in Chang'an City, and His Highness is leading the army outside. It will only take three to five days for Chang'an City to relieve the siege."
"Your analysis is so thorough, it is really extraordinary!" Lu Sicheng said in surprise.
"Haha. I don't dare to be praised by the old man. I am a humble official. How can I know these things? Quanzi knows a little bit. These are all Quanzi said casually, so I can remember some of them." Dugu Jin is also sincere, and he actually admits that all this is not him.
What can be said is what his son said.
"I don't know what to call you?" Lu Changqing was interested. I am a good man, and it was very new at this time. He, Lu Changqing, thought that he was not as good as his son. After all, even the Lu family was inferior to him.
He couldn't play around. Not to mention that Lu Zhaoci could play around with a court.
"Quinzi Dugu Mou!" Dugu Jin said quickly.
"Dugu Mou! What a good name." Lu Changzong also took over the conversation.
"One naughty boy, one naughty boy." Dugu Jin shook his head repeatedly, but the smile on his face told how proud he was of his son. Seeing this, Lu Changzong's expression turned ugly. Look at Lu
Needless to say, the third son’s son, the eldest Lu Changqing, is about to become the emperor. Lu Zhaoci is about to become the emperor. Even the third son Lu Changding has given birth to a powerful guy who will be ranked as a general. In the future, he will definitely be the prince of the clan with great authority...
"Humph, although the young man is good! I just don't know what will happen in the future? Who can know about this!" Lu Changzong blurted out involuntarily.
"Sanlang, don't be rude." Lu Sicheng frowned and shouted coldly.
"Old Master, there is no need to be angry. This is what I think, too." Although Dugu Jin was unhappy, he had no choice but to say so.
"Sir, someone claiming to be an envoy from the King of Han came here to deliver an order." At this moment, a Puzhou official suddenly came to report: "He asked us if we were escorting the family members of the King of Han."
"Messenger from the King of Han!" Dugu Jin's eyes lit up and he said quickly: "Hurry, please come quickly."
"Old Master, the King of Han must have known that you have arrived in Puzhou, so he sent someone to greet you." Dugu Jin said to Lu Sicheng.
"I don't know who Zhao Ci sent to greet me! I don't know what rank he is, but he is a noble official?" Lu Changzong came up and said with a smile: "My child has never been greeted by a noble official.
This is the first time I have enjoyed it after following Zhao Ci." Lu Sicheng also nodded repeatedly, with a trace of contentment on his face.
When Dugu Jin saw Lu Changzong opening his mouth and speaking in silence, he was very angry. He couldn't help but cupped his hands and said: "My lord, the name of His Highness the King of Han is taboo. You always call the King of Han like this. If the officials in the court know about it,
You won't be able to escape a period of participation in the music. Even if you are a close relative of the King of Han, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape a period of punishment."
"How outrageous, Lu Zhaoci is my nephew, can't I call him that?" Upon hearing this, Lu Changzong's expression suddenly changed, and he pointed at Dugu Jin and cursed.
"The imperial edict of the King of Han has arrived! Lu Changzong received the edict!" At this moment, a loud shout came over, and several war horses were seen galloping towards them. The leader was wearing armor, with a long knife at his waist, and his face was covered with blood.
It looked like dust, but a mighty aura surged out, and the fierce aura was like a sword or a gun, making everyone couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"What is the decree of His Highness the King of Han?" Upon seeing this, Lu Changzong's expression changed and he couldn't help asking cautiously.
"Are you Lu Changzong?" The messenger took out an imperial edict from his arms and shouted coldly: "Why don't you kneel down to receive the edict!"
"Kneel down?" Lu Changzong's expression changed, showing a hint of hesitation, but under the sword-like gaze, he had no choice but to kneel down. However, Lu Sicheng and others around him looked at each other in shock, not knowing what to do, and Dugu
Jin and others had been kneeling aside for a long time. The messenger probably knew the identity of Lu Changqing and others, and did not embarrass them. Instead, he unfolded the imperial edict and read loudly:
"The Chang clan of the Lu family was rebellious and disrespected his father and elder brothers. He was ordered to rebel against his family and reflect on his past mistakes. He was ordered to be under strict supervision by the prefect of Huoyi. I appreciate this!"
"Ah! How could this happen?" Lu Changzong's face was ashen and he collapsed on the ground. He never thought that Lu Zhaoci was about to proclaim himself emperor, so he packed up the Lu family so that he could set off as soon as possible. On the one hand, he might have stopped him.
When Lu Zhaoci proclaimed himself emperor, it would be best to promote Lu Sicheng to the throne, so that he could have a chance to get involved in the prince's position. However, after hearing Lu Changqing's words on the official road in Hedong, he never thought of getting involved in the prince again.
As long as he can get a throne, it would be good. But now, Lu Zhaoci has beaten him down from the Nine Heavens with an imperial edict. The beating caught Lu Changzong off guard, and the beating made Lu Changzong's face turn ashen and his heart bleeds.
No face left.
"Father, Lu Zhaoci is taking revenge on the child. Father, you have to make the decision for the child!" Lu Changzong could not help but cry bitterly while hugging Lu Sicheng.
"Insolent, you can actually call the King of Han's name taboo. Behead him!" As soon as the messenger heard Lu Changzong shouting Lu Zhaoci's name, his face suddenly changed. How could he care so much? He pulled out the saber from his waist and said
Chao Lu Changzong beheaded him.
"Show mercy!" Lu Changqing shouted loudly upon seeing this...
"Who are you?" The ordering soldier immediately put away his saber. Even so, the sharp blade still chopped off the bun on Lu Changzong's head, making Lu Changzong disheveled like a madman.
"I am Zhao, oh, the biological father of His Highness the King of Han." When Lu Changqing thought of Lu Changzong's appearance, he quickly stopped talking, but then he changed his name to His Highness the King of Han.
"The last general, Qin Sibao, is the personal guard of the King of Han, and he is paying homage to the old prince." Who knew that as soon as Lu Changqing finished speaking, the messenger quickly bowed down. The difference in attitude was like the difference between heaven and earth, which made people stunned.
, even Lu Changqing didn’t think of it.
"Oh, General Qin, please get up, please get up." Lu Changqing quickly helped Qin Sibao up and said with a smile: "This photo, where is His Highness the King of Han now?"
"Back to the old prince, His Highness is still in Tongguan." Qin Sibao said with a smile: "It took me four horses to get here, and I have to rush back!"
"Leaving so soon?" Lu Changqing asked in surprise.
"His Royal Highness the King of Han is planning to leave Tongguan tomorrow in order to deal with the traitor Li Da'en, so the general must rush back, otherwise he will not get any military glory." Qin Sibao explained with a smile.
"Huh, so what if he wins the battle? He's not even a stranger to his relatives. How can such a person be worthy of ruling the world? It's really a joke." An old voice came from the side, who could it be if it wasn't Lu Sicheng? At this moment, he was
With a livid face, he looked at everyone coldly. He was obviously very angry because of what happened to Lu Changzong.
When Dugu Jin saw this, he lowered his head and said nothing. This was a family matter of the Lu family. No one knew what the relationship between Lu Zhaoci and the Lu family was, but judging from today's situation, the Lu family was not as imagined.
To be continued...
