People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 519 Never Back Down, Be Tough to the End
On the peak of Heilongling, there are tents all over the place, and military flags everywhere. Thousands of soldiers line up behind the gate of the camp, all the way to the big tent of the Chinese army.

An old man in sackcloth was sitting on a bullock cart, pulling a black coffin and slowly driving in from outside the camp.

A whole team of Qianniuwei followed the two sides, with high expressions, as if they were showing their spoils to everyone.

Li Xuan walked behind the carriage silently, with black fish scales and a solemn expression.

Seeing Li Xuan walk in, the eyes of countless soldiers present were filled with incomparable eagerness, and they shouted in unison: "The King of Nanchang is mighty! The King of Nanchang is mighty! The King of Nanchang is mighty..."

Li Xuan calmly nodded to the crowd, and then followed the carriage, all the way to the front of the Chinese army tent.

The old man in sackcloth had already been taken down.

In front of the big tent of the Chinese army, Duan Baoxuan, Yao Zhi, Ji Xiao, Yuan Yi, Li Ji, Jia Mu, Xue Qianfeng, and a group of captains and captains from Kuaiji Mansion and Huangshan Mansion all stood inside the big tent. , looked eagerly at Li Xuan, at the black coffin on the bullock cart.

The bullock cart stopped, Qianniuwei lined up on both sides, Li Xuan stepped out from behind, adjusted her scales slightly, and walked into the big tent.

Just before Li Xuan was about to pay, a black long spear suddenly stretched out from one side, directly blocking him.

Li Xuan was slightly taken aback, and everyone in the tent was in an uproar.

Qiu Shenji, who was wearing Mingguang armor, walked out from one side, and walked in front of Li Xuan coldly, holding the long spear in his hand on the ground, staring at Li Xuan closely: "27 Lang, tell me , is the one in it really the Empress Tianyin herself?"

When Qiu Shenji asked a word, there was a dead silence inside and outside the tent, and everyone's eyes were full of surprise.

"General Zhong Lang was still in the underground palace before, and after guarding you, why did he forget about this?" Li Xuan raised his head, looked at Qiu Shenji coldly, and did not back down.

The fact that Qiu Shenji was mentally controlled before could be concealed from ordinary soldiers, but not from them, high-ranking officials of various states.

Being blocked by Qiu Shenji, the King of Nanchang has already torn his face.

"I won't bother 27 Lang to worry about the general's affairs. Now I just want to know, is the one in the coffin really the Empress herself?" Qiu Shenji now wants to know if the one in the coffin is the Queen After myself.

"Does Zhonglang suspect that this king has made a fake corpse to fool everyone, the court center and the saint?" Li Xuan raised his head, staring at Qiu Shenji without hesitation.

Li Xuan's sharp gaze made Qiu Shenji frown, and he said impatiently: "Yes or no, just open it and see."

Qiu Shenji stepped forward, about to walk over to lift the coffin lid.

With a sound of "choking", the long sword came out of its sheath, and Ming Lie's long sword blocked Qiu Shenji's body instantly, Li Xuan said flatly: "If General Zhonglang moves again, then don't blame me for beheading you directly. "

cut you.

The killing intent is awe-inspiring and the will is firm.

Li Xuan's voice didn't hold back in the slightest, and everyone inside and outside the tent could hear it clearly.

Compared to the whispers of the soldiers outside the tent, everyone in the tent looked at Li Xuan with a trace of surprise in their eyes.

These people are all four-rank and five-rank high-ranking officials in the dynasty, not the Sima of the Governor's Mansion and the Governor's Mansion, the Captain and the Captain of the Mansion Bing, and even Duan Baoxuan, the left leader of the inspection school, the General Wei, the fake Jieyue, and the sixth governor. State military, the governor of Zhongdudufu who can be killed first and then played.

Everyone understood that Li Xuan dared to say this in front of Qiu Shenji and the others, not relying on his status as the county king and those Qianniu guards under him, but on orders from higher up.

Li Xuan is already the king of the current dynasty, so it goes without saying that he is on top.

Everyone lowered their heads for a moment, not even daring to think about it.

Although they didn't know that Empress Dowager died in her wedding dress, they also knew that Empress Dowager's body was quite strange, otherwise, Qiu Shenji wouldn't have insisted on it like this.

Looking at the sharp blade in front of his eyes, Qiu Shenji clenched his teeth tightly. Although he stopped moving forward, he did not take half a step back either.

At this time, Li Xuan spoke again: "As for whether it is the Empress herself, General Zhong Lang may think that this king will be wrong. Do you think that even Daoyin and Daoyin are also wrong?"

Li Xuan's face was terribly cold, but with his explanation, everyone present secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

With Ming Chongyan and Sima Chengzhen present, the Empress Dowager in this coffin cannot possibly be a fake.

As soon as Li Xuan closed his long sword, he walked past Qiu Shenji at the same time, and said calmly: "Of course there are many thousands of cattle guards present, Zhong Lang will just ask anyone to ask a question, why is it necessary to tear down the coffin? Is the southeast half of the country that you want to force, restless day and night?"

Qiu Shenji's face flashed, he sighed in his heart, lowered his head sadly, turned around and stepped aside.

Li Xuan's last words really pushed him to a corner.

With this big hat put on, no matter what happens in the southeast in the future, someone will play him a book.

What's more, the explanation Li Xuan just gave is really hard to refute.

Both Ming Chongyan and Sima Chengzhen confirmed the matter, if he continues to entangle, it will be completely unreasonable.

Qiu Shenji glanced over, and the Qianniuwei around the coffin, including his cousin Qiu Zhenmu, also stared at him closely.

Everyone was resting on the Qianniu Dao, as long as there was any change in Qiu Shenji, they might immediately draw the sword and slash.

Although Li Xuan didn't speak out about some things, Qianniuwei has always been one of the sixteen guards who have the most access to royal secrets.

Li Xuan said that he would kill Qiu Shenji, and they would definitely follow Li Xuan to kill Qiu Shenji.

Even Qiu Zhenmu would not hesitate at all.

……

After entering the big tent, Li Xuan didn't dare to join the crowd, and went straight to the front of the hall, saluted Duan Baoxuan, and then solemnly said: "Report to the governor, I was ordered to break into the underground palace of the traitor and capture the leader of the traitor." Finally, the traitor is here, please check with the governor.”

"No need, Master Shiyin and Daoyin have already seen it through experience, so it is naturally correct." Sitting behind the big case, Duan Baoxuan looked at Li Xuan with unconcealed excitement, and said, "The teaching of the bandits has finally succeeded today. The king of Nanchang has made great achievements, and you have made great achievements, and the governor will definitely play the center and the saints to ask for your contributions."

"Thank you, Commander. This battle depends on the Commander's planning and orderly command. We will be able to achieve what we have today." Li Xuan took the lead, and everyone present congratulated at the same time.

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Duan Baoxuan nodded in satisfaction, and continued: "This battle is over today, and all the ministries will stay here for three days to wipe out the remaining bandits, reorganize the army, and inform the generals. After three days, all the ministries will return to Muzhou together."

"Follow the command of the governor." Everyone stood up with a trace of relief on their faces.

There is no need to fight in battle anymore, and there is no need to worry about the death or injury of soldiers. This time to calm down the chaos in the sky, it is considered to be the end.

All that is left is the last bit of leftovers, and let the sergeants grab it.

After the excitement on everyone's faces gradually faded, Duan Baoxuan said, "Prince Nanchang, since you left, what's going on in the Heavenly Yin Palace?"

"The lower official left a note telling them that the concubine is dead, and asked them to come out of the underground palace and surrender." After a slight pause, Li Xuan sighed softly: "However, based on my understanding of the Tianyin believers, most of them should choose He killed himself and was buried with him, but the officials still left some people waiting at the front and rear exits, if there is someone among them who is willing to surrender, they will come out naturally, if not..."

"If not, then seal all the entrances and exits and let them fend for themselves." Duan Baoxuan waved his hand, his expression indifferent.

All the people present immediately cupped their hands, and replied in a deep voice: "I respect the commander's order."

Duan Baoxuan's expression became solemn, he looked at Li Xuan, and said softly: "King of Nanchang, you just said that before you arrived, Empress Dowager died, and someone took her..."

"Captain!" Li Xuan clasped his hands, interrupted Duan Baoxuan slightly, and then said: "No one took anything away, after all, after being besieged by the army, there was no hope of getting out, so she chose to commit suicide, Commander, she She committed suicide, and it all depended on the concerted efforts of all her colleagues to besiege her heavily, use heavenly water to descend into the world, and destroy the underground palace mechanism, and she committed suicide in despair after being hopeless."

"Tian Shui descended into the world." Duan Baoxuan suddenly came to his senses.

Before, because of the queen's calculations, the Tianchi Lake on the top of the Immortal Mountain was flooded and killed many officers and soldiers. Later, it was used by Li Xuan to pour the water from the Tianchi into the Tianyin Sect's underground palace, but it hadn't worked yet. died.

But now, Li Xuan reversed the cause-and-effect relationship, and immediately became Tianshui descending into the world, breaking down the underground palace mechanism, and in despair, Empress Dowager committed suicide. In the Immortal Mountain Palace.

If the Empress Dowager dies because of this, then everyone in this matter can share the credit.

As for the soldiers who died in battle, not too many people would care.

"What the king of Nanchang said is correct. The governor is indeed besieged by all the armies. Tianshui descended into the world, and the concubine committed suicide. This is a sage with mighty heavenly power. The enemy chieftains were terrified inside and outside, and finally he died." Taizhou Sima Jiamu stood up and said to Duan Baoxuan cupped his hands heavily.

Standing straight, Jia Mu looked at Duan Baoxuan and said: "The sage is mighty, the governor is sharp, the king of Nanchang is decisive, and we will work together, plus the punishment of heaven and earth, and the rebels have nowhere to go, so we will take poison." suicide."

In a few words, Jia Mu even added how the empress committed suicide.

The expressions of all the people present changed for a moment.

At this time, Li Xuan cupped his hands again: "Commander, this trip is not easy, and many soldiers unfortunately lost their lives here. I hope the governor will be sympathetic to everyone, both for the living and for the dead."

If this matter is investigated carefully, few of the people present will benefit.

Some of them have mediocre achievements, and some even have no achievements.

Even for meritorious persons, there are not many points in the credit book.

Li Xuan is the one who made the most of the meritorious service over and over again.

Now that he is willing to share the credit with everyone, everyone naturally refuses to let go of this opportunity.

Duan Baoxuan sighed softly, and said: "Okay, after the governor writes the memorial, you can sign it together."

"Thank you, Commander, for your understanding." Everyone present immediately showed a hint of joy.

At this time, Li Xuan said: "Captain, you haven't seen Captain Huai since you came back?"

"Ah!" Duan Baoxuan sighed deeply, and said: "Lieutenant Huai was unlucky. During the fierce battle with the bandits, when the heavens fell, one of the boulders fell directly on his head, which is already unfortunate!"

"Ah!" Li Xuan's face was filled with astonishment, and then he cupped his hands and said, "The governor's condolences."

Li Xuan's eyes flicked across the crowd present, none of them showed any sadness, instead there was a hint of secret joy.

When a person that everyone doesn't like very much dies, and there is one less person to share the credit, everyone is naturally full of joy.

Poor Qiu Shenji, his trip to the southeast this time can be said to be a failure!

After everything was over, Duan Baoxuan waved his hand and dismissed everyone.

In the big tent, only Duan Baoxuan and Li Xuan were left.

Duan Baoxuan looked at Li Xuan with a serious expression, and asked in a deep voice: "Nephew, do you really have that share?"
