However, in the face of Iori Maiyu who stood in front of a kind of palace concubine with her righteous words, her elder sister Xiaolu Qinglian just smiled slightly and said meaningfully: "Even if the king is not here and all the princes are not here, it doesn't matter. ; as long as Zhonggong and Princess Binggao are still there, that’s enough..."
At this time, a group of female officials in the inner tent could not help but let out a low exclamation; they saw that their sister Lu Qinglian seemed to be listening to something in the void; and said lightly: "Queen Zi Xiaoqian After that, it has been many generations since a female protagonist came to the country within the forbidden area.”
As soon as these words came out, the palace family members, female officials, and married women present were in an uproar. However, sister Lu Qinglian ignored them and went straight back to the Zihuan Hall in front of the ban, only to see that there was already The courtiers and officials from the capital who were taken from home one after another were waiting in the palace.
Immediately afterwards, the four sixteen Fujiwara families that had not escaped, the five accompaniment families whose ancestors came from the east, the first seven and the second two families of Tsinghua University, the Tachibana family lineage, etc., and the prominent families of Heian Kyo, all volunteered. Or involuntarily wearing purple and wearing black clothes, riding an ox cart to the forbidden area.
Then, headed by the Taizheng Office in the previous dynasty, there were two officials, eight provinces, one government office and five guards' offices. The subordinate officials, deputy officials, judges, and chief officials were not as good as the officials, clerks, and officials under the court; they were also knocking on the door. Amidst the loud sound of drums, the sergeants patrolling the streets and alleys rushed over shouting and urging them.
At the same time, during the previous Heisei Kyo Incident, the officers, soldiers and athletes who were issued with the ban notice were disarmed and arrested on the spot, or fled away in fear. They gathered spontaneously one after another, led by the surviving leader.
In addition, in the Liuwei Mansion in Beijing, some potential subordinates of the Himezawa clan led by sister Xiaoji Qingren, who were usually assigned by him because of their inclination and friendship, were also released from imprisonment. He returned to his command and persuaded many fleeing soldiers to surrender.
Therefore, after returning to the capital, the sister-in-law Qinglian has gathered five to six thousand people under his command. Although the left and right capitals, which imitate Chang'an and Luoyang in their overall layout, are actually somewhat powerless, they can only barely control the four images and nine. door; but it is more than enough to control the inside/forbidden area.
Immediately afterwards, Sister Lu Qinglian used these soldiers and horses as a fulcrum to continue to recruit more than 3,000 guards and private soldiers maintained by various ministers and vassals located in the inner ring of the left and right capitals. They also opened up the inner treasury and rewarded money and silk to win people's hearts. Only then did he order the search and seizure of the rebels scattered in the city.
Then he distributed money and food in the name of the Grand Palace Secretary of the state, summoned the displaced men, women and children in the city, extinguished the remaining fires and cleaned up the ruins, rebuilt the roads, official buildings and warehouses; ordered some cleared markets and shops to reopen, and then The whole city spent the day in panic.
On the next day, Lu Qinglian, the sister of Lu Qinglian who was staying in jail, got the news that two troops from different directions were quickly receiving news of the attack on Anjing. Among them, the troops in the west were carrying the concentric lily-patterned flag of the Himezawa clan, and they were reinforcements from several counties in the newly sealed Kawachi and Yamato provinces.
As for the Anekōji family's scouts, what the scouts saw among the troops to the east were the defenders from Fuwa Pass, Suzuka Pass, and Aifa Pass, the key points of the rampage to the East, as well as the nearby Jiangzhou and Ishu. , the banners of the princes of Nongzhou; the most conspicuous among them is the Qingjiao Banner of the Lord Tancheng.
Obviously, with the help of his colleagues inside and outside, he sneaked into the capital to create turmoil and chaos; and then his plan to launch a palace coup was unexpectedly frustrated; but he did not give up and reunited the supporters of the Eastern Kingdom and united with those who had been persuaded to surrender. The defenders of the three passes took advantage of the chaos and came back to Luo.
At this time, because the Lord of Tancheng had planned and prepared for a long time, he followed the open Kinki Avenue and arrived outside the upper east gate of Heijōkyo even before the reinforcements from the Himezawa clan from Yamato and Kawachi Kingdom. Then he flawlessly broke through the empty upper east gate.
Just after the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Kingdom entered the capital, they rushed to the second street of Heian Palace/Ouchi Front Gate; only then did they encounter the reinforcements of the Himezawa clan coming through the city from the west. The two sides immediately started fighting around Ertiao Street, once again igniting large areas of city squares and markets.
Until the troops from the Qinglian headquarters of Jixiaolu who were staying in the forbidden area, led by the three divisions of Lianshanzhong and Jianfeiweiting, suddenly broke out from Yangmingmen on the east side of the forbidden area and attacked the people scattered on the side streets in a roundabout way. The rebels of the Eastern Kingdom retreated; they cut it into two sections that could not see each other, and they were defeated.
Despite this, the rebels from the Eastern Kingdom who retreated to defend the upper east gate once again sent a messenger on behalf of the Lord of Tancheng that night; and made an unexpected suggestion to Sister Lu Qinglian. That is, he was willing to marry his sister Seiren Koji as the middle palace in exchange for a truce and cooperation from the Himezawa clan.
In the end, the Xiumingyuan lineage represented by the ungrateful King Fang Liang was completely excluded from the royal tradition of the Fuso Land. However, at this moment, it was impossible for her sister Lu Qinglian to agree to his whimsical suggestion; instead, she responded directly with practical actions that night.
With a large number of rebel prisoners captured in the city, they were beheaded in public as an introduction; Sister Lu Qinglian put on a large sacrificial robe and a crown again, in full view of everyone; danced gracefully in the gauze tent After a while, he received a response from the void again.
It was like a miracle that suddenly appeared in the world; in the city that was still burning in the raging fire, all the flames suddenly flew into the night sky with the burning objects, one after another, and then flew and circled to form a line, The fire dragon roared out, lighting up a large area of the city.
Among the houses in the city along the way, there was a commotion of people screaming, running away, and kneeling down to pray and beg for mercy; this fierce fire dragon, fleetingly, landed on the east side of the upper east gate. Among the national rebels, countless human bodies, armors, weapons, and flags were instantly set on fire.
All the living creatures were turned into struggling and burning balls of fire, struggling and squirming from the tower, falling down in panic. Then, without losing much momentum, a large wave of fire burst out like rain again, rolling down the tower and reaching the rebel camps of the Eastern Kingdom.
The crash burned countless figures in the tent, and they scrambled to escape in panic, stumbling together in a chaotic mess; even the generals who tried to rush to suppress and contain were hit and knocked down by large pieces of burning wooden debris. On the ground, covered in fire, screaming and rolling, he was burned to death on the spot.
In the blink of an eye, the Dongguo rebel coalition, which was caught in a panic like a divine punishment, was already amidst the roar of the camp bombing like a mountain roar and a tsunami, desperate to leave everything behind and flee outwards. After daybreak, all that was left in the huge camp was the corpses that had been trampled on each other and littered the ground.
When the frost and snow began to rise again, when the Himezawa clan troops and affiliated armed forces in the capital began to pursue these Eastern Kingdom rebels, they found that only large pieces of disheveled people were left in the ice and snow scattered on both sides of the road, frozen to death. Bodies, and some dying prisoners.
The three-pass garrison from the imperial court, as well as tens of thousands of troops from the princes and vassals of Jiang, Yi, and Nong were all destroyed by the summoned fire dragon overnight. This result also greatly shocked and frightened the 300,000 people in the capital, and even shook what most people had always believed in.
Therefore, in the court hall the next day, the elder sister Lu Xiaoqingren proposed that the young Princess Himuro should succeed the king on the grounds that the whereabouts of King Fang Liang and other princes were unknown and the country could not come to court without a ruler. The hall was full of nobles, but there was no dissident voice that dared to question or object.
Then, when it was natural for him to be appointed as the Taifu of the little queen, his sister Xiaolu Qingren was qualified to listen to the government behind the scenes with the middle palace; he once again proposed severe punishment for openly sending monk soldiers and participating in the incident in Beijing; the ancestor of Tiantai Sect, the first of the six sects in Kyoto; The garden is located in Enryaku-ji Temple on Mount Hiei.
Deprive all the support lands and temple estates outside the main mountain, and their attached Dingkou; ban the monk soldiers and mountain masters; in order to more respect the imperial court's other lineage of Tiantai Sect, Yuancheng Temple monks
Replace the rebellious and rebellious contemporary boss. There was even more approval and echoing voices in the court;
What happened later also proved that a temple that cannot show its saints in public, no matter how famous it is and how long it has a long history, can never resist the magical means in front of people and the encouragement of those around them.
Suppress the army. Even the boss and monks who wanted to immolate themselves as martyrdom were captured in public without dignity.
Therefore, in the following days, the sister Lu Qinglian, who seemed to have great power, took advantage of the general trend to select and promote new relatives and fill the vacancies in the court;
With the help of his trusted cronies, he gradually took over and eliminated the royal materials and official territories located in the Five Kinki Kingdoms.
At the same time, many rebels from Kinki who were suspected of rebelling against the party were searched, and more were rewarded, won over, and recruited more descendants of the feudal family from Tokaido and Higashiyama Road in the Western Kingdom; they were rebuilt and expanded.
The Sixth Guards Mansion, which had been short of troops for a long time, expanded the division under the Prosecution and Non-Violation Department to the Thirteenth Division.
However, the Five Kingdoms of Kinki had accumulated money, food, troops and horses, and were preparing to take advantage of the situation to attack the feudal princes of the Eastern Kingdom who were involved in the chaos; news came from the distant Dazaifu of Kyushu. King Fang Liang, who disappeared during the turmoil, unexpectedly disappeared
He fled all the way to the local area; he rebuilt the court on the spot and declared the little queen in Ping'an Jing to be trespassing.
At the same time, he also sent his third son, Lord Fengcheng, across the sea to the land of the four countries. As a king, he called on and gathered the local princes and vassals to form a coalition to jointly discuss the issue.
Defeat the rebels/rebels who have taken over Gyeonggi Province. At this time, news also came from the Mutsu land in the East Kingdom.
The son of the deposed king/the king of Tancheng, who was defeated in the Shangluo army and disappeared in the formation, is suspected to have left behind a pair of young children in the Eastern Kingdom. Therefore, the mother's family, who was responsible for secretly raising her, had territory spanning Dewa and
Kanyoshi Shiba, the great lord of Mutsu and Austria, took this as a call to set up a separate court in Taga Castle to listen to the government.
For a time, there seemed to be three imperial courts in the land of Fusang, each running in parallel and severely divided. Just as the initiator of many events involved and provided corresponding suggestions.
Jiang Tian had already returned to the original time and space of the Tang Dynasty and appeared in the pre-anchored Daming Temple in Yangzhou.
The next moment, he looked through the gap in the pane with some surprise at the snow-white figure rolled into a ball on the bed he had reserved. What was going on?
