Chapter 630 Seven Stars
The emperor grabbed Lu Yan, "Aiqing is flat!"
But Lu Yan didn't dare to get up, "Your Majesty, I can only transfer 50,000 King Qin's troops and 80,000 rebels this time. I am worried that with 50,000 troops, I will not be able to fight against 80,000 rebels. Those who surrendered were all innocent, so the rebellion was quelled. Even so, the soldiers of the Xijing Camp still suffered heavy casualties, I ask the emperor to give me a punishment!"
The emperor's originally happy face sank at this moment, his heavy eyes pressed on Lu Yan's body, and his anger was blazing.
What is Lu Yan trying to do?
He thinks that he dotes on him, and he has the power to save him, so he can make decisions without authorization?
Let him be the emperor and amnesty all the rebels? From now on, can everyone follow suit?
If he hadn’t seen today, the person who saved his life was Lu Yan, and the emperor had already chopped off Lu Yan’s beautiful head with a knife.
Lu Yan is still different from other courtiers. To the emperor, Lu Yan is a domestic slave!
Xie Yuanbai hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the sergeants are so innocent. This rebellion was originally Han Jinyi and his gang who wanted to make the world rich and powerful, so they tricked the sergeants into rebelling. The sergeants didn't even know that the emperor was here. Your Excellency I saw with my own eyes that many sergeants learned that they had become rebels, some even killed themselves, and more people were at a loss with their weapons. Your Majesty, those who stubbornly resisted, the ministers, etc. have been killed. For those who were forced to follow, I ask the emperor to deal with it lightly!"
Lu Yan knelt and begged, "Your Majesty, it is not easy for the imperial court to support these soldiers. If all of them are sentenced to death, the loss will be really heavy. I think it is better to send them to the battlefield in Western Xinjiang to make them kill the enemy and make atonement?"
The emperor's anger subsided a little at this time, and he fell silent.
Xie Tiao also rushed over, "Your Majesty, I think what Lord Lu did was very appropriate. If there is no strategy for fifty thousand soldiers against eighty thousand rebels, if those rebels know that they are attacking the emperor, they will not be given a slap in the face." If you retreat, just imagine, what would those rebels do? Your Majesty, this is a serious crime against the Nine Clans!"
The emperor then asked, "Since you said that if you disarm and surrender, you will be pardoned, what will those people do?"
Xie Yuanbai hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, at that time, there were only less than a hundred soldiers around me, and the rebels surrounded us. Mr. Lu had not yet entered the palace. If it weren't for many sensible people who turned against each other, I am afraid that today, the minister's Father wants the white-haired man to send the black-haired man, Your Majesty, many people in the rebel army really don't know that the Emperor is here, Han Jinyi lied to them and said that he was ordering to suppress the bandits!"
The emperor laughed out loud when he heard this, "Han Jinyi wants to be the emperor, but he doesn't have the ability, so he actually wants to destroy me by passing a false imperial decree!"
The emperor's mood improved a lot. After he calmed down, he could also realize that Lu Yan was sincerely doing his best. In order to save his life, he said to Lu Yan, "Get up, don't be an example!"
"I thank the emperor for forgiveness!"
Lu Yan was very respectful, and kowtowed his head three times on the ground. After seeing the emperor, he was very satisfied but also very moved. He bent down and helped Lu Yan to stand up himself, and said, "You and Xie Aiqing have worked hard, go down and freshen up first! "
"Your Majesty, we still have to clean up the battlefield and count the number of people. Han Jinyi has already been captured, and Commander Guo Dengguo of the Xijing Camp is still waiting outside!"
"Guo Deng, please come in!" said the emperor.
The moment he saw Guo Deng, the emperor froze for a moment, and he leaned back, as if someone had taken a knife to cut his neck.
"Minister Guo Deng pays homage to the emperor!" Guo Deng was dressed in armor and knelt on one knee.
"Pingshen!" The emperor raised his hand, he didn't ask if Guo Deng's father was Guo Qi, there was no need to ask, if Hong Jizhong hadn't personally delivered Guo Qi's head to him, he would have doubted it. The person is Guo Qi.
The emperor also met Guo Deng, gave a few words of praise, and waved Guo Deng to retreat.
Guo Deng didn't think about asking the emperor to reward him with anything. Although he had made great contributions to saving him, it was already very good for him not to be missed by the emperor with his status. When he thought about the future, he watched the sun go down, and his heart was full of joy. hope.
"Why is he here? Why is Guo Deng the commander of the Xijing camp?" The emperor couldn't help asking Lu Yan.
"The emperor forgot? In the ninth year of Shoukang, the emperor hand-picked Guo Deng as the champion of martial arts, and gave him a family background. Guo Deng fought several battles with Beiqi in the northern border and made great achievements. In five years, he has been promoted to the commander. "
One guard and five thousand households, Guo Deng, the commander, is a little too big, and he is almost the commander of Chengdu.
The emperor knew that some questions about military affairs should not be asked by Lu Yan. The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is the yamen in charge of these matters, and the governor of the Five Armies is Han Jinyi. what for?
"Where's Han Jinyi? I'm going to see him!" The emperor got up.
Lu Yan had already washed and washed. The incense on his clothes concealed the **** smell on his body, but he still didn't dare to get too close to the emperor. He held a sword and followed the emperor.
Li Baozhen helped the emperor carefully cross the pools of blood on the ground, his legs were trembling due to the strong smell of blood.
Han Jinyi was locked in a huge cage, with iron chains on his hands and feet, and when he saw the emperor coming, he looked very calm, supported the cage with both hands, and said, "Your Majesty, have you come to see the old minister? Today is all thanks to Master Lu!"
Lu Yan stood aside, looking at his nose and heart, turning a deaf ear to Han Jinyi's words.
"Has your majesty ever heard of, 'Zhaoyang collapses, heaven and earth perish, Xiao family dies, seven stars come back'?"
The emperor had already heard of this sentence, which came from the White Lotus Sect. He didn't care about it, so he asked with a smile, "Why, do you think Qixing is you?"
The world only knows that the pure blood of the emperor Taizu will step on the seven stars. Only the emperor knows that if he is poisoned by the seven stars, the poison will continue along the blood, and only the child who inherited the poison will step on the seven stars. .
At that time, the seven-star Gu poison on the Emperor Taizu was inherited by the late emperor. The Emperor Taizu felt sorry for the late emperor, so he passed the throne to the late emperor. bit.
This is a top secret of the royal family. The world does not know it, and the emperor will not know it. Not to mention that Emperor Zhaoyang has a child, the poison may not necessarily be inherited by the child. It is only said that Emperor Zhaoyang has no descendants at all. "?
The emperor used this as an excuse for the White Lotus Sect to attack his orthodoxy, and didn't take it to heart at all.
Han Jinyi saw the emperor's expression and knew that he didn't take it seriously, so he couldn't help but sneered, and didn't remind him, "The emperor came to see the old minister, and he wanted to ask why the old minister turned against him?"
The emperor was noncommittal.
Han Jinyi said, "What about the emperor? Why did you rebel back then?"
The second update!
