In May, he was sent to inquire about the daily movements of Shuofang's army, and they were ready to go.
According to Mutam's wishes, the Sotuo army had a strong force and simply attacked directly. Why wait until eight days later, but Li Luansong stopped him.
"I know you feel guilty, and I hope you can be busy with me. I am already very grateful." He said, "Zheng Huan will take the throne in eight days. He is known to be unjust and unruly. He is really afraid of something happening, so when the time comes, the whole city will The troops must be mobilized to the palace, and the best time to attack is when the city gate is empty."
"It's not that I don't believe in you and your army, but the Soto soldiers are also tough men. I just want to reduce the bloodshed and casualties as much as possible." Li Luansong stood in front of the window with his hands folded. The rain stopped for two days. It started raining again today, "It will save time and effort to attack after eight days. Besides, my injuries will be better by then, and her body should be able to recover a little bit."
There was a continuous drizzle outside the window, blown askew by the wind, and flowed into the big tent along the cracks in the window.
Mutam said yes, "You are the coach, everything is up to you, and let me learn from you."
Li Luansong shook his head, "Although I am the coach, I can't have my own way. I have suffered from this in the past and suffered heavy losses. Or should I learn from you? I heard that you plan to stay in Jin'an this time?"
Mutam smiled and said, "Naren told you, I originally wanted to ask your father to let me stay. Soto country needs to learn. We want to learn Jin'an's business and economy, as well as your culture and governance. Strategies, those treasures are priceless in our opinion, we are too closed-minded and too small, and we can only grow if we are knowledgeable."
He patted Li Luansong on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry. If your father doesn't agree, I will stay as a merchant and learn slowly. I plan to stay for a long time."
A proud look appeared on his face.
Li Luansong raised his eyebrows. He was a troublesome person. As the saying goes, it is easier to invite a god than to send him away, but he was afraid that this god had other plans in mind.
But what can you say? People have helped you so much when you were in the most critical moment, how could you not agree to such a small request?
Oh, that's all, the more I look at him, the more I get a headache.
The weather suddenly turned sunny on the last four days, and the bright sun shone directly on the earth, but it reminded Li Luansong of that afternoon a year ago.
Thinking of the past made his heart hurt. He shook his head and looked at the sun in the sky. It was so domineering and unscrupulous, just like the thief in the imperial city now.
Tomorrow is the official day of his ascension to the throne. Zheng Huan has just tried on the dragon robe, which is embroidered with golden dragon patterns. It is luxurious and grand, and every part of it fits perfectly. He is very satisfied.
He raised his head and looked at the sun in the sky. Wasn't it him who said it was shining brightly in the sky? This Qintian Prison indeed had some truth to it. It was said to be a good day, and even the sun came out early to greet him.
After he ascends the throne tomorrow, everything will change. The world will be his. As for those raised in the harem, Emperor Xiaochun and the Queen, as well as the second child in the prison, they can all be dealt with in a legitimate manner. Tomorrow, he will be the best among ten thousand people. God, this day has finally arrived.
The whole city of Jin'an City was under martial law, and all guards and soldiers were transferred to the palace to ensure the smooth progress of the ceremony.
Only a few soldiers changing guard and a beacon furnace were left at the city gate. Once there was an invasion, the beacon furnace could be lit as soon as possible so that the imperial city could be seen, and everything was safe.
On the day of his coronation, the sky was clear and the ceremony was solemn and grand. Tens of thousands of people knelt outside the imperial city and were forced to salute the new emperor who was completely invisible. In the main hall, Zheng Huan wore a dragon robe and a crown and sat on a dragon chair to accept the worship of hundreds of officials.
Most of the officials were dissatisfied but had no choice but to express their anger. They were forced to kowtow and bow, and rolled their eyes reluctantly.
The ceremony was cumbersome and intense. It was not until everyone had kowtowed and the eunuch read the edict that the enthronement ceremony was completed. After that, the new emperor had to lead hundreds of officials to offer incense and other ceremonies.
The excitement and joy in Zheng Huan's heart were all reflected on his face as he sat on the dragon throne. From today on, he is the master of this country, and the world is ruled by Zheng.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the palace gate. First, soldiers gathered and ran, and then they heard the rumble of horse hooves and the sound of weapons clashing. Before they could figure out what was going on, the loud shouts of killing were already approaching. A soldier came and reported:
"General, Shuofang's army has invaded..."
"The general, as well as the Soto Kingdom's army, have also invaded..."
"General, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is not dead..."
"Report, the general is in trouble, the capital has been captured, they, they have already reached the palace gate..."
It's over, it's too late to have such a sweet dream. When I look at the hall, it's already turned into a mess. The ministers inside the hall and the ladies and nobles outside the hall have already fled, and the ceremony has been completely ruined.
Zheng Huan cursed in his heart and broke into a sweat, and quickly ordered: "Everyone gather to fight against the enemy. Go quickly and escort Li San from the harem to me, his queen, and so on, and Li Luanfeng in the prison." Bring me here too."
The soldiers took orders one after another to do it. Zheng Huan picked up his long sword and went out to kill.
The momentum was overwhelming, and the soldiers of the Sotuo Kingdom were equally brave. In addition, the troops of Lao Qi and Lao Ba previously deployed by Li Luansong in the city cooperated with the outside. The army marched straight into Huanglong and rushed to the front of the Qinzheng Hall in just one stick of incense.
Looking at the dead and injured people around him, Li Luansong felt very uncomfortable. Many of his ministers had their hearts set on the Li family and his son. At this time, they also stepped forward to join the battle. For a time, there was a huge disparity between the two sides and they were at odds with each other.
"Li Luansong, avenge yourself against Zheng Huan, and I will help you sweep away the others." Mutam shouted to him.
Li Luansong said: "Those who are willing to surrender do not need to hurt innocent people."
"I know, I'll listen to you this time."
Mutam galloped towards the back hall.
On the empty platform in the front hall, Li Luansong jumped off his horse and walked towards Zheng Huan with a long sword in his hand. The long sword made a long and harsh sound across the ground. There were sparks under the white mark, which showed even more murderous intent under the scorching sun.
"Li Luansong, you are really lucky. Zheng Huan took the initiative and said, "Come on, bring this person up. "
A soldier trembling next to him stepped forward and handed Li Luanfeng, who had been escorted from the prison, into the hands of Zheng Huan. He kept begging for mercy: "General, Li, Li, no, Emperor Xiaochun and the Empress are missing..." "
Zheng Huan was startled, and before anyone could finish his words, he stabbed his sword into the heart, causing the soldier to fall to the ground.
This sound shocked Li Luanfeng, who was confused and confused. He spent many days in the dark prison. He was thin and stooped, his eyes were dull, his long hair was mixed with straw, and his whole body looked like a withered body.
"Brother..." Li Luanfeng saw him laughing wildly, "Li Luansong, look, I left some candy for you. Come and grab it. If you grab it, it's yours."
This is a game that their brother loved to play when he was a child. He would fight and fight all day long, but now he has gone crazy.
Taking advantage of Li Luansong's distraction, Zheng Huan raised his sword and stabbed him. Li Luansong hurriedly responded, and the two fought together.
Li Luanfeng, who was already looking crazy, was thrown aside, fell flat on his back, sat on the ground, rubbed his knees, and stared at them blankly.
Zheng Huan was naturally no match for Li Luansong, and he failed within a few rounds. He dodged sideways, grabbed Li Luansong on the ground, and headed straight for the high platform.
There is a rooftop tens of meters high in front of the Qinzheng Hall. As a symbol of praying to the sky, few people usually go up it. Now, in the blink of an eye, Li Luanfeng was pulled up by Zheng Huan and climbed up the ladder.
Zheng Huan knew that there was no hope for him, so he looked up to the sky and screamed: "I am not as good as others and I was defeated by you, but Li Luansong, you go back and tell Li San that even though I lost, he didn't win either. His two sons were lost in my hands." .”
After saying that, Zheng Huan pulled Li Luanfeng and jumped down from the high platform...
That's how it ended.
Li Luansong rushed to the harem with his men, and met Mutam who had returned without success. He said, "Your father, the emperor, your queen, and Shen Que are missing."
There is a secret passage in the rockery at the back door of Cining Palace. It is the only secret exit known only to the emperor, in case of emergency. Emperor Xiaochun told Li Luansong about this secret passage very early.
The door of the secret passage was disturbed. After confirming that the empress and Shen Que escaped safely, Li Luansong immediately turned his horse and headed straight for Zhuque Street. He knew the roads of Jin'an well. During the three days of being imprisoned, Shen Que She once asked him to draw a map of the road to Jin'an. If he guessed correctly, she should have taken his father, the emperor and his mother through the secret passage and headed straight to Zhuque Street, where her shop was.
The shops on Zhuque Street were forced to close because of Zheng Huan's enthronement ceremony. Shen Que took the emperor and empress to Mixiang Que, which was a music studio and there was no one there during the day.
The secret passage was dark and long. As soon as they sat down and took a breath, there was a knock on the door, followed by Li Luansong's familiar voice: "Yuyu, it's me."
At that moment, Shen Que couldn't tell how he felt. He only felt that his heart was being tied with a string and he felt a throbbing pain. Then he could hear the thumping heartbeat and his palms were sweating.
"It's Song'er." The Queen excitedly pulled Emperor Xiaochun's sleeves and wiped her tears and said, "Your Majesty, it's Song'er, we won."
Emperor Xiaochun had a smile on his face and tears in his eyes. He patted the queen's hand gently and said, "Don't worry, Yaya, just don't worry."
Shen Que turned his back and wiped away his tears, walked over and opened the door.
The moment the door opened, the bright sunlight shone from behind him, enveloping Li Luansong's entire body in the sunlight. He could not see his features clearly, but could only vaguely feel the steaming heat all over his body.
"Yuyu, I..."
"Your Highness."
He wanted to step forward and hold her hand. This was the first time Li Luansong saw the sheerness of women's clothing. It was as beautiful as a painting, gentle and calm, just like the fairy in the painting descending to the mortal world and emerging from the pure world.
But she took a step back to salute him, and cleverly avoided his enthusiasm:
"My daughter Shen has indeed met His Royal Highness King Jin."
Strange, alienated, like not knowing.
At that moment, Li Luansong's heart fell into the ice cellar, feeling cold and stinging.
"Your Majesty, Madam, since Your Highness has arrived, I will take my leave first. I still have my father waiting for me at home. I haven't seen him for many days. He must be very anxious."
Shen Que turned around and bid farewell to the emperor and empress. There was no reason to refuse. Yes, your family is reunited, and others are waiting anxiously.
The queen glanced at Shen Que's son behind him in embarrassment, then at Emperor Xiaochun, and said with pain: "Xuanyu, you go back to visit your father first, but remember, if you want to visit me in the palace, your majesty is still in good health." I rely on your recipe."
I made an excuse to keep someone for my son.
Shen Que said good and turned around to leave, but the queen asked again: "It's a chaotic situation outside. It's too dangerous for you to be alone. Why don't you let Song'er see you off..."
"Thank you for your kindness, no need, I'll do it myself..."
"Your Majesty, I will send her off safely and quickly."
Mutam stood outside the door at some point, smiling with pure kindness.
Shen Que saluted him: "Thank you, Prince, for your kindness. No need, I..."
"Ms. Shen, I still have something to discuss with you." He raised the folded whip in his hand as a sign of invitation, "Let's go, get in the car, and we'll talk on the way."
Shen Que looked at the Queen in embarrassment. The Queen knew that she couldn't stop her, so she said: "That's fine, it's better than you worrying about me alone."
The two of them bowed and left, and she didn't even look at him again.
Instead, Mutam turned around and winked at Li Luansong, mouthing: "I'm starting, come on."
