Taking off their high crowns, spreading their long hair, and putting on plain white clothes, Linghu Qingqing and Gongyang Sanlu led countless civil and military ministers, as if they were visiting someone's grave, and a white crowd knelt on the square outside the south gate of the imperial city. .
What makes people even more speechless, and even more shocking to everyone in the world, is the advice given by Gong Yang Sanli. Each of these top nobles of the Great Jin Divine Kingdom is holding three lit incense sticks in their hands, with wisps of green smoke. Straight into the sky.
This situation makes it look more and more like a group of filial sons and grandsons came to visit Sima Fu's grave in the imperial city.
Linghu Qingqing and Gongyang Sanli, one Prime Minister on the Left and the other Prime Minister on the Right, two of the Jin kingdoms have the greatest real power. One of them has obtained the support of 70% of the generals, and the other has recruited 70% of the civil servants in the court. Such a big man also had long hair, wore white clothes, and knelt outside the gate with a straight waist, holding incense sticks, and kept mumbling loudly.
"Your Majesty, sir, please see me."
"Your Majesty, sir, please see me."
"Your Majesty, sir, please see me."
Linghu Qingqing and Gongyang Sanli seemed to be out of their minds and kept repeating the same words. Their voices filled the air, shook the floating clouds, and made countless tiles in Anyang City bounce and make countless people in Anyang City tremble with fear.
Behind the closed palace gate of the imperial city, every tea time, an old eunuch's shrill and thin voice came out: "Your Majesty has a decree, please two old husbands to go back to the palace to rest... Your Majesty's holy body is not feeling well, and he is missing." Foreign Minister."
Linghu Qingqing and Gongyang Sanlu ignored the old eunuch, and just led countless civil and military ministers to kneel outside the palace gate, making a loud noise.
At the same time, messengers from the military headquarters continued to gallop on horseback, delivering urgent military information to Anyang City. I don't know who ordered it. When these messengers rode straight into Anyang City, they yelled along the way and reported the military information they brought to the people of Anyang City.
In addition to the first rebel state, Qiuzhou, and the several prefectures that responded successively, among the hundreds of prefectures around Anyang City and the land of Longxing in the Jin Dynasty, there were already more than fifty state armies from the prefectures in a series of attacks. The banner of "Qing Jun side, killing traitors".
The actions of these state armies were all the same. They first broke into the state city and robbed the treasury of the state city. Then they attacked the wealthy and aristocratic families in the state city and county city. They broke down the courtyards, killed and looted, and wiped out everything. He wanted to make money, snatch away all the beautiful women, and then gathered an army to flee.
Those state armies who were ordered by Wu Tie to cut off the state army chiefs quickly elected new army leaders and led them to do whatever they want in their respective states.
As for those state armies that had not been cleared by Wu Tie's Imperial City Army and Horse Division, they were directly led by the state army generals to rebel.
With the cooperation of some civilian officials in the state government, these state armies, which were well-equipped, not weak in combat power, and had a complete command system, raised the banner of recruiting troops and quickly recruited countless deserters and bandits.
According to the military system of the Jin Dynasty, these territories spanned hundreds of thousands, millions of miles, or even larger states. Generally speaking, the state army maintained a scale of one million people. However, with the rebellion and the continuous influx of refugees and bandits from all over, the scale of these rebellious state armies quickly expanded three to five to ten times...
Yizhou was the first to raise the rebel flag. The state army originally numbered one million, but its size expanded a hundred times in a very short period of time.
What's even more tingling is that God knows where these rapidly expanding rebels got their baggage and weapons. They quickly armed themselves, not to mention their cultivation and formation training, not to mention their true combat effectiveness. , in terms of equipment alone, they are already a strong army armed to the teeth.
You know, if these rebellious state troops are teleported through the space gate, they can reach directly outside Anyang City in just a quarter of an hour. Even if the space gate is not used, and only the military's standard warships are used for transportation, it can take as short as three to five hours, and as long as seven or eight days, to reach the city.
Meteor Detective Horse kept sending panicking news, but the Anyang City defense army... there was no movement at all.
The four gates of Anyang City were opened, and the officials and generals in the military office went to kneel outside the imperial city. The generals and officers in the city defense army also went to kneel outside the imperial city in groups. .
Anyang City does not have any defense preparations. Now, as long as a standard army of ten thousand people can break into Anyang City easily.
Dozens of people were frightened in Anyang City every day, and the people were frightened by the bad news that kept coming.
In the imperial city, there was still no movement from Sima Fu.
Linghu Qingqing and Gongyang Sanlu were still kneeling in the square with the civil and military ministers, and the entire administrative operation of Anyang came to a complete standstill.
Countless rumors are circulating in the market.
All rumors are basically related to Wu Tie, and some of them are roughly related to some truths. For example, they say that Wu Tie is an evil spirit from the underground world that has sneaked into the Kingdom of Jin Dynasty.
Some rumors are just rumors, and they are very shameless.
For example, some people say that the reason why Yuzhou Duke 'Huo Xiong' gained the trust of two divine emperors and gave him such authority in such a short period of time is because 'Huo Xiong' is the illegitimate son of Sima Xian and Princess Jing Sheng!
And what is the relationship between Sima Xian and Princess Jingsheng
Some people say that Princess Jingsheng is Sima Xian's niece.
Some people say that Princess Jingsheng is Sima Xian's biological daughter.
Some people say that Princess Jing Sheng is of serious royal blood, while Sima Xian is the product of a certain royal prince's filthy and chaotic harem.
Some people even say that the identity of the current God Emperor Sima Fu is questionable. He may not be a direct bloodline of the Sima family... His origin may be related to the Yuzhou Duke 'Huo Xiong'.
In short, countless rumors and gossip spread, pouring filth on Sima and Wu Tie.
There were even 'martyrs from the market' who climbed high and shouted the slogan 'Kill the traitors and save the Jin Dynasty' - their speeches were very inspiring. They said that the Jin Dynasty was at war with the Dawu Kingdom, and it was originally the life and death of the Kingdom of God. At the critical moment, the foolish king favored the traitor, which caused great chaos in the country's affairs and the neglect of military affairs. This was a catastrophic disaster that would destroy the country and destroy the species.
The civil and military ministers of sufficient rank went to kneel in the square outside the imperial city.
In some civil yamen, there are also some petty officials with the lowest status who are on duty at the yamen.
These little officials are not idle. The post system and di newspaper system of the Jin Dynasty are busy with unprecedented high efficiency. They report what happened in the hundreds of prefectures inside and outside Anyang City and the surrounding prefectures, as well as all the rumors and gossip. , whether reliable or not, spread throughout Dajin as quickly as possible.
The day after Linghu Qingqing and Gongyang Sanli knelt down in the square outside the imperial city gate, Linghu Qingqing suddenly kowtowed heavily towards the closed imperial city gate and shouted loudly, like a cuckoo crying for blood. : "Your Majesty, please meet my old minister! For the sake of the Jin Dynasty, your Majesty, please cheer up, destroy the traitors, and save the Jin Dynasty!"
Linghu Qingqing, who has a terrifyingly high level of cultivation and has entered the realm of gods with most of his body. He can easily survive the divine calamity and achieve the realm of gods by just using the God's Token. At this moment, he is like a delicate, thin-skinned person. Just like a little girl with tender flesh, she just kowtowed a few times, and the skin on her forehead burst open, and a large amount of blood spurted out two or three feet away.
Linghu Qingqing kowtowed and spurted blood, then he turned his head slightly and glared at Gongyang Sanxiu.
Gongyang Sanli's old face twitched, and he glared at Linghu Qingqing, and then he hit his forehead on the ground. There was a "pop" sound, and a piece of flesh and blood the size of a palm exploded on Gongyang Sanli's forehead. It shattered into pieces, and the blood stuck to the smooth, mirror-like stone floor. It spurted out seven or eight feet away with a 'chiliu' sound, and the blood even sprayed directly on Linghu Qingqing's trouser legs.
Afterwards, Gongyang Sanlu also raised his breath suddenly, and a powerful, pure and masculine breath rushed into the sky, shaking the ground of the entire Anyang City to tremble violently: "Your Majesty, I sacrifice my life for this." I sincerely ask your Majesty to meet with the ministers and others... The Jin Dynasty is in danger, so please, Your Majesty... be diligent in government affairs, stay close to the virtuous ministers and stay away from the villains, and make more plans for the foundation of our Kingdom of Jin Dynasty for generations to come."
In the square, countless loyal ministers and generals of the Jin Dynasty, with long hair disheveled, faces of sorrow and indignation, wearing plain white clothes, crying softly like little widows visiting their graves, kowtowed heavily at the same time.
These ministers, not to mention the civil servants who were mostly Dharma cultivators, these generals were all thick-skinned and thick-flesh, and ordinary immortal soldiers could not cut through their skin. The stone slabs paved on the square outside the imperial city are top-quality white jade slabs, but how can the hardness of these white jade slabs be compared with the immortal soldiers
But the thing is so magical, these generals kowtowed hard one by one, and then their heads began to bleed at the same time.
The Imperial City Square suddenly became red, filled with the "blue blood" of the loyal ministers and good generals!
On the edge of the square, many righteous men from the city were shouting in unison. They led countless people to kneel down in the streets and alleys, praising these white jade pillars of the Jin Dynasty for their high moral integrity, great achievements, bravery and loyalty. Righteous spirit.
There were also some lower-level officials in the civil servant system who were moved to tears. They set up bookcases on the edge of the square and quickly wrote a series of praises to the elders with extremely gorgeous words and extremely beautiful handwriting. His gorgeous articles, as well as his essays criticizing the treacherous emperor and treacherous people, were quickly spread throughout the world through various channels.
"The emperor has harmed the country!" Finally, some "martyrs in the market" shouted such a slogan.
"The foolish king is harming the country!" Countless people raised their arms and shouted, their faces turned red and their bodies were constantly trembling. They seemed to have broken some kind of taboo, and in addition to their panic and fear, they felt some inexplicable pleasure in their hearts.
"Traitors and traitors are causing chaos in the country!" Another 'hero in the city' shouted hysterically at the top of his lungs.
"Treacherous traitors are causing chaos in the country!" Countless people roared loudly, stamping their feet and making loud thunder-like noises.
"Qingjun side...kill the traitor...save the Jin Dynasty!" A scholar wearing a long gown shouted in the crowd.
"Qingjun side...kill the traitor...save the Jin Dynasty!" Countless people shouted in unison. They were all full of passion, thinking that they were doing the right thing.
"The traitor is the Duke of Yuzhou!" An old man wearing tattered clothes and covered in blood staggered out of the crowd, accusing hysterically: "The traitor is the Duke of Yuzhou, Huo Xiong... I have pity on my child. After decades of bloody battles in the army, he was finally promoted to the rank of fourth-rank captain after exhausting his efforts, commanding a large army to guard Daxing City in Maoluo Prefecture... "
"That boy of mine worked conscientiously, managed military affairs, won the support and love of the soldiers, wiped out bandits, and cleaned up the place. He never dared to slack off in the slightest, let alone did anything illegal... Without any reason, he He was charged with the serious crime of 'colluding with gangsters and raping and killing civilian girls', and his head was chopped off... Unjustly, unjustly!"
The old man shivered and screamed, with a vicious light flashing in his triangular eyes: "It's unfair, it's such a huge injustice, my child's subordinates really stood up for the injustice of my child. Where's the 'Bing Jian'..."
"The Duke of Yuzhou has such a vicious heart and ruthless methods. He actually framed those good men in the army for rebellion... He said that they conquered the city, robbed wealthy families, and killed countless kind people... Where can such a thing be possible? Where can I find this? Is there such a thing?"
"It's all done by the imperial army of the Imperial City's Military and Horse Department. It's all done by them!"
"Think about it, the soldiers in each state's army are all local children of their hometowns. How could they do such a cruel thing to the fellow villagers? Only foreign troops like them could do such a cruel thing!"
The old man hysterically accused Wu Tie and the crimes of the Imperial City Soldiers and Horses Division under Wu Tie.
There are many, many such old people.
Old, weak, women and children, everything is available.
Outside the Sifang Gate of Anyang City, millions of crying old, weak, women and children have entered the city. They were sent to all directions and corners of Anyang City with extremely high efficiency to accuse their families of their grievances in front of countless people. , complaining about one’s own grievances.
But Linghu Qingqing and Gongyang Sanlu were still kneeling on the south gate square of the imperial city, kowtowing and bleeding, and kept chanting "for the great Jin" and other righteous slogans that occupied the absolute moral high ground.
Their voices spread in waves, stimulating the people in the market to become even more excited.
And so the next day passed.
Finally, when daylight fell on the third day, Sima Fu appeared on the gate tower of the south gate of the imperial city wearing a thin black gauze dress with a haggard look on his face.
Holding the city wall with both hands, Sima Fu looked at Linghu Qingqing and Gongyang Sanlu feebly: "Two old husbands, please go back to your home and rest? In Dajin, where can there be a foolish king? Where can there be a treacherous man?"
"Hey, hey, those rebels, I know that they are real rebels. Prime Minister, I will leave this matter to you... Be good, take people to kill them, I will give you the right to make arbitrary decisions... Anyone who dares to rebel will be slaughtered."
Linghu Qingqing's body stiffened slightly, then he raised his head and looked at Sima Fu with a look of sorrow and anger: "Your Majesty, this is a disorderly order. I don't dare to accept the order!"
Sima Fu's face suddenly darkened, and he shouted sternly: "Challenging orders? Linghu Qingqing, do you think that without you, I really have nothing to do? And you, Gongyang Sanli, you guys Two old guys...wait and see...where is Yuzhou Gong Huo Xiong?"
Wu Tie, who had been standing in mid-air and watching the performances of Linghu Qingqing and Gongyang Sanlu with cold eyes, slowly descended and saluted Sima Fu with clasped fists: "Your Majesty?"
Sima Fu directly threw a jade seal that was one foot square with various dragon patterns carved on it to Wu Tie.
"Take my jade seal and go to suppress the rebellion. The Twelve Guards of the Four Gardens... Remember, all the Twelve Guards of the Four Gardens are dispatched!" Sima Fu's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he looked at Wu Tie coldly. , shouted loudly: "I want some people to know that those who obey me will prosper and those who go against me will perish... If they dare to rebel, they must be prepared to die!"
Wu Tie took the jade seal blankly.
He looked at this jade seal. Yes, although this was not the jade seal inherited from the Great Jin Kingdom, it was indeed the one that the emperors of the Great Jin Kingdom used to deal with government affairs on a daily basis and had their seals stamped on the imperial edicts. A jade seal!
Sima Fu gave all the jade seals to himself? this…
The eyes of Linghu Qingqing and Gongyang Sanliu flickered, and they screamed at the top of their lungs at the same time: "O previous emperors... Open your eyes and take a look! Da Jin, Da Jin... you are foolish kings and treacherous sycophants. … It’s a terrible death!”
Sima Fu's eyes flashed fiercely, and he pointed at Linghu Qingqing and Gongyang Sanlu and yelled: "Slander the Holy Lord... take them down and beat them!"
