Will Ming

Chapter 830 Old friend <- At the time of the palace, the Nancheng Xiongtu Gate finally couldn't hold back the gunpowder of the Yanyun Army, and the gunpowder was blasted, and the bricks and stones piled up in the door opening were pushed out abruptly, and the defenders inside were stirred up The rubble injured many people. {. And at the same time the city gate broke open, those rebel soldiers with white cloth wrapped around their right arms began to retreat in an orderly manner.Not only that, when the news spread that Yan Yun's army had entered the city, the rebels who attacked the city gates in the east city and west city also immediately withdrew and gathered in the direction of Wanchun Palace.

<-The number of soldiers in the palace is no less than [-].These soldiers gathered outside the Wanchun Palace and surrounded the palace.Neither enter the palace nor leave.

Wang Pao followed behind Duguyi, a hard-hearted person like him dared not look at the scene around him.There were corpses everywhere in the palace, most of the corpses of the maids and eunuchs were fragmented, and it was difficult to find even one complete body.The blood on the aisle flowed along the cracks in the masonry, making a chirping sound when stepped on.

Wang Pao even had the illusion that the blood stuck to his boots, as if there were countless pairs of innocent hands holding his feet, making it difficult to move an inch.

"Who wants to see me?"

Wang Pao took a deep breath to calm down his heart.

"I'll be waiting for you in the royal study."

Duguyi didn't say much, just kept walking with his head down.

"Isn't it too much for you to do this!"

Wang Pao pointed to the stumped limbs and arms scattered all over the place: "These maids and eunuchs have no crimes. They are just servants. They do some cleaning and serving people every day. Why do they have to kill them all?"

Duguyi paused, looked back at Wang Pao and said word by word: "Because they have served you before."

Wang Pao's expression changed suddenly, and he couldn't help but clenched the horizontal knife by his waist.

Duguyi's eyes swept over Wang Pao's hand contemptuously, and continued to walk forward: "The horizontal knife in your hand is useless except for suicide, and I can tell you seriously and responsibly, even if you Suicide... Your body will also be chopped up and fed to the dogs. But it would be better if you have the courage to commit suicide now, because I can't guarantee that we will kill you more happily than you commit suicide."

"I can't die yet."

Wang Pao left his hand from the hilt of the knife, and followed up: "I am a person who is easy to get into the horns of a bull. When I don't know why you are rebelling, I feel like a stone is blocked in my heart. I don't know what it is. Who is playing tricks behind the scenes, how can I die safely?"

"This sentence still sounds like a man."

Duguyi sneered and stopped talking.

When he walked to the door of the imperial study room, Duguyi made a gesture of invitation and then walked aside.At this time, there were rebels with white cloths wrapped around their right arms everywhere in the palace, and all those who resisted were killed.Wang Pao had no doubts at all, the elite of the tens of thousands of Imperial Guards that he had arranged in the Wanchun Palace no longer existed.

When he saw more than a dozen rebel generals lined up at the entrance of the Imperial Study Room, Wang Pao's heart skipped a beat.His face suddenly became calm, and he even straightened his clothes before walking into the door of the imperial study.

When he walked in the door and saw the familiar figure sitting behind the desk, he was no longer surprised, and even smiled in relief.

"Only you can do this...I just never imagined that you would have the guts to hide in Mingzhou City without running away."

The man sitting behind the desk has gray hair, a square face, a beard, and a burly figure.He was wearing an ordinary gray cloth, but he looked more like an emperor than Wang Pao.

In fact, he was indeed an emperor.

Dou Jiande

"In front of me, you dare to call yourself me?"

Dou Jiande sneered, looked at the jade seal on the table and couldn't help but sigh: "That's right, after all, you have succeeded, turning Zhen's Great Xia into your Great Zhou."

Wang Pao smiled, found a chair and sat down, looked at Dou Jiande and asked calmly: "I just can't figure it out, why did you choose to do it at this time? Since you have the ability to secretly control so many horses, why didn't you kill them earlier?" I kicked off the stage? It is indeed easy to succeed when the Yanyun army is attacking the city, but isn't this helping Li Xian? Even if you kill Zhen and snatch the chair back, what's the point? With your hands Those tens of thousands of people, can they stop the hundreds of thousands of elite Yanyun troops who have already entered Mingzhou City?"

"Because what I want to do is not to take this chair back."

A murderous intent flashed in Dou Jiande's eyes, he no longer called himself Zhen, but me.

"Didn't you grab this chair back?"

Wang Pao was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head: "Then I can't understand."

Dou Jiande stood up and walked towards Wang Pao slowly: "All I want is to kill you, it's as simple as that. The reason why I do it at this time, you are right, because at this time the possibility of success is the greatest. There is another reason It's just... I have to find a good home for my sons who are loyal to me."

……

……

Wang Pao thought for a long time, but he didn't understand what Dou Jiande meant.

"I snatched the dragon chair from you. This reason is enough to make you full of hatred. You want to kill me, and I understand. What I don't understand is why you are willing to make a wedding dress for Li Xian?"

Dou Jiande shook his head: "Because you only have power and desire in your eyes, and you have already gone to other things. I thought about it for a long time during the months of hiding in Mingzhou City, and then I found that I It’s not that I hate you for taking away my throne. If I pursue it carefully, then I lost the throne myself, not you. I established the Great Xia Kingdom by myself, and I have always regarded Great Xia as a I am afraid that my private property will be taken away by others, and I am afraid that my children and grandchildren will not be able to sit on that chair...so I have done too many wrong things."

"If I didn't do so many wrong things, do you think you can succeed?"

Dou Jiande asked.

Wang Pao thought about it carefully, then shook his head: "I can't."

"I hate you not because you took away what belongs to me."

Dou Jiande walked up to Wang Pao, leaned over to look at Wang Pao's face and said word by word: "It was you who killed my wife."

Wang Pao was sitting while Dou Jiande was standing.

So Wang Pao suddenly realized that he looked a little weak. Dou Jiande looked down at him not sharply, but it made his heart tremble uncontrollably.

"She is not a qualified wife. I once wanted to abandon her, and even...for a while I wanted to kill her. Because she was too jealous, because she was too domineering. She always thought about her family and always wanted to She asked me not to hand over the imperial power to others, but to the Cao family. I always thought that she was only selfish... After she died, I suddenly realized that her selfishness was for me And selfish."

"She wants me to hand over the power to her family because she also doesn't trust others. She is afraid that my country will be stolen, so she urgently wants her family to help me. At that time Before escaping from the palace, Xiao Yizhen once provoked me...to let me abandon my wife, and it was at that moment that I realized that no matter how beautiful a woman is, she is not as good as a wife who has been with me all my life."

"In order for me to escape from the palace safely, she found an excuse to leave alone. I know he was afraid of hurting me, because he had a woman with him, and it was extremely difficult for me to escape the search of your soldiers. I searched for her in the palace, but couldn't find it in many places... I found out the next day, your people caught her."

Dou Jiande looked into Wang Pao's eyes, and said in a calm but deeply sad tone: "Since that day, I have been preparing to avenge her. Now that I think about it, I have never thought about it once in this period of time." Take back that chair. Fortunately... Although I have done many wrong things, the generals and soldiers in the army are far more loyal to me than to you. Duguyi, they are all old generals under your father Wang Fubao, the reason why I didn't turn against you immediately because you killed Wang Fubao, it was because I was hiding in the Duguyi army at that time."

"You have been looking for me, but how could you think that I am hiding in the army?"

Dou Jiande said: "I didn't let Duguyi and them turn against you immediately, because I wanted to find a good way out for them. Even if I did it before, I could still kill you, but so what? Great Xia is already dead Well, even if I sit back on that chair again, I won't be able to take back the whole country. That's why I waited until the Yanyun army attacked the city before I took action. In this way... Duguyi and the others voted under Li Xian's command, It can be regarded as a stable future.”

"As for me……"

Dou Jiande suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Wang Pao's neck: "As long as I can kill you, what regrets do I have?"

Wang Pao instinctively wanted to struggle, but was immediately held down by several soldiers behind him.Dou Jiande, who strangled his neck, did not kill him immediately, but took out a portrait from his arms and hung it on the wall, and lit three sticks of incense.

That portrait is his wife Cao.

……

……

Li Xian predicted many ways to break through Mingzhou. He even thought that if Mingzhou was really impenetrable, he would blow the city wall down even at the cost of losses.If you can't climb over the city wall, then tear down the city wall.This is already the last stone in front of him in the Central Plains, how could he give up?

Even if the loss is greater, even if the city is destroyed.

In any case, he never thought that entering Mingzhou would be in such a way.It wasn't that the secret spies who stayed in Mingzhou city made great achievements, and it wasn't that Wang Pao's generals and courtiers came here for their own sake.Entering Mingzhou was much easier than expected, because Dou Jiande actually stabbed Wang Pao in the back at this time. <-The more than [-] soldiers of the Xia army outside the palace are the last batch of enemies who have not laid down their weapons.

Seeing King Yan riding a big black horse and wearing black armor, [-] Xia soldiers suddenly dropped their weapons on the ground.They didn't kneel down, and they didn't show any other signs.They just looked at the most powerful person in the world with some trepidation, waiting for this person to make a decision.

When he arrived outside the palace gate, Li Xian already knew what happened.

For these Xia army soldiers, he knew how to place them.

"Those who are willing to stay will be paid according to the veteran's salary. Today's military merits can be converted into ten acres of land, plus a reward of [-] yuan. Those who do not want to stay, each will be given [-] yuan, a certificate, and go home After that, you can also get ten acres of Xuntian. Whether you stay or want to leave, you will be treated according to the treatment of Yanyun Army veterans."

"Thank you, King Yan!"

Duguyi and others who were driven out by Dou Jiande to greet Li Xian outside the palace gate bowed down after hearing Li Xian's words, and the Xia soldiers who had lost their weapons burst into cheers. <-Gong Dadian, said in a low voice: "I'm waiting for you."

Li Xian hummed, waved his hand to signal his followers not to follow, and walked slowly into the palace, not far from the front of the main hall, under a weeping willow with crooked neck, Dou Jiande, dressed in gray cloth, waved to Li Xian, and It's like an old friend I haven't seen for many years.
