Unparalleled Concubine

"This fellow has colluded with the Southwest Rebels and caused the Southwest Rebels to invade the capital. Do you want to join him and be imprisoned by the Nine Clans?"

Standing behind Hou Jingde were the two Zhechong Captains, both of whom he single-handedly pulled up. Faced with the old general Zhong's questioning, the two took a deep breath and bowed their heads without saying anything.

After Hou Jingde calmed down, he looked up at Zhong Xuantong, cupped his hands slightly and said: "Old general, Hou has always respected the Chong family, today's matter is over, it's just that you and I choose differently, the old general doesn't need to say anything. "

"You and I just wait for the news."

Hou Jingde let out a breath slowly, and said in a low voice, "Let's see if we are implicated in the nine clans, or if the Renchen Palace has reappeared."

As soon as he finished speaking, a high-pitched young man's voice came from outside the big tent.

"The decree has arrived!"

Chapter 1112 Bet with Chang'an

Under the leadership, or in other words, under the control of several imperial guards, Zhao Yi, who was only 16 years old, held up the imperial decree, swallowed his saliva, and stepped into the tense camp.

Hou Jingde and Zhong Xuantong looked at the imperial decree at the same time.

The thoughts of the two people are not the same, especially Hou Jingde, who is extremely nervous now.

As the main defender of this time, Chong Xuantong probably already knows what the situation in the capital looks like now, and also knows that the imperial city may have fallen, but Hou Jingde has been staying in the Zuoying camp since last night until now, and the sky has just dawned. When he woke up, before he had time to receive any news, Zhong Xuantong led someone in.

At this time, he didn't know what was going on in the imperial city at all, that is to say, for this General Hou, this imperial decree was to pronounce whether he was alive or dead.

Zhong Xuantong frowned tightly and did not speak.

Zhao Yi took a deep breath, held up the imperial decree and unfolded it. He didn't let the people in the camp kneel down, and just opened his mouth to read.

"The imperial edict said..."

The format of the imperial decree is similar, most of the words are nonsense, and only a few sentences are useful.

Zhao Yi continued to read: "The Great General of the Zhu Kingdom, Taifu Li Xin, led the rebel army into Beijing to clean up the world..."

After hearing the words "Great General of the Zhu Kingdom", Hou Jingde, who was quite nervous at first, suddenly relaxed, and his heart burst into ecstasy. He couldn't listen to a single word of the imperial decree.

The tall black-faced general laughed loudly.

His smile was full of the joy of a winner.

Because he knew that this gamble similar to the Renchen Palace change back then, he ended up again, and... once again won the gamble.

On the other hand, Zhong Xuantong's face was extremely ugly.

Zhao Yi gritted his teeth and continued reading.

"Order all the battalions in the capital, and all the soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty, to remove their armor on the spot, turn in their weapons, and stand by for orders, and there shall be no more..."

Hearing this, Zhong Xuantong couldn't bear it any longer, the old general's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Where did you come from, how dare you falsely preach the imperial decree!"

Although Zhao Yi is still a young man, he is already smart. He has experienced a lot of things in the capital during this period, and his mental vision has far surpassed his peers. After hearing Zhong Xuantong's question, although he was nervous, But there was no fear on his face, but raised the imperial decree in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Old General Chong, this is the imperial decree drawn up by Shangshutai, Shangshutai added a seal, and the emperor also added a seal, old general Do you have to rely on your own strength and disobey the imperial decree?"

Chong Xuantong yelled angrily: "It is clear that you, the daring rebels, broke into the Forbidden Palace, coerced Shang Shutai and the Son of Heaven, and wrote down such unknown edicts."

Zhao Yi was not afraid, and said loudly to Zhong Xuantong: "General Zhong, the emperor has agreed to abdicate!"

"Tomorrow at most, the Sixth Prince will enter the capital to take over the throne. At that time, everything in the Yuan Zhao Dynasty will be overthrown and restarted. Now someone has brought an imperial decree to take over the right camp of the forbidden army. There is no second general in the right camp of the forbidden army. How long will it take to remove the armor and stand by?"

He looked at Zhong Xuantong, and said in a deep voice: "With General He here, the Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army will even turn against us immediately."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yi looked at Zhong Xuantong, then at the three Zhechong captains behind Zhong Xuantong, his face was expressionless: "The old general is stubborn to die alone, no one can stop him, but the old general must Do you want to take half of the people from the Right Battalion of the Forbidden Army to die together?"

"Enough dead already."

Zhao Yi shouted loudly: "The general has already said that at this moment, the imperial army took the initiative to disarm and surrender their weapons. In the future, we will still be colleagues. If we persist in our obsession, we will be enemies in the future!"

"The emperor is preparing an abdication edict. When the new emperor abdicates, you will be the rebels of the new dynasty!"

Most of the people in the left battalion of the imperial army fell to Hou Jingde, but because Zhong Xuantong was appointed by the emperor, only three Zhechong captains chose to stand on Zhong Xuantong's side.

But in the final analysis, they are on the side of the court.

Now... the imperial court has fallen into the hands of the Southwest Army.

Hearing Zhao Yi's words, the three of them frowned and stood there hesitantly.

Hou Jingde on the other side has also calmed down now, with a smile still on his face, he grinned at Zhong Xuantong and the three Zhechong captains behind Zhong Xuantong: "Everyone, you are all loyal to the Son of Heaven. Yes, now that the emperor has issued an edict for you to remove your armor, within a few days, the emperor will replace you, do you really want to die for this?"

Hou Jingde chuckled: "You guys died happily, so what about your wives and children?"

"I will recognize them."

Hou Jingde has been in the Forbidden Army Zuoying for so many years, he knows where these subordinates live and how many children they have.

Hearing Hou Jingde's words, the expressions of the three Zhechong captains behind Zhong Xuantong all changed.

As a soldier, there is nothing to say about dying for the emperor, but before dying for the emperor, there is a pension after death, and my son may be able to enter the imperial army because of this, but if the emperor changes...

If people like myself die here, they will become traitors. Not only will the family members not get pensions, but they may also be implicated!

One of the captains, Zhechong, who was in his 40s, did not speak, but silently took off his armor, threw the long knife in his hand on the ground, then knelt down in front of Hou Jingde, kowtowed and said: "General, the last general has offended you so much." ..."

Hou Jingde was still smiling.

"It's okay, it's not too late to find your way back when you're lost."

If there was the first one, there would be the second one, and soon the three Zhechong captains had all disarmed and stood by Hou Jingde's side.

In this way, all the Zhechong captains in Zuoying had already stood by Hou Jingde's side, and the imperial decree was quickly issued, leaving four Zhechong mansions left in the Zuoying of the Forbidden Army. Everyone took off their armor and handed it over weapon.

Although they were "resting in place" in name, they had actually been captured by the Southwest Army.

However, these forbidden troops did not make any mistakes. After the establishment of the new dynasty, they were still forbidden troops.

People around him turned their backs one after another, and Zhong Xuantong's face was surprisingly ugly.

Soon someone who wanted to "make meritorious service" rushed up and tied Zhong Xuantong up with a cowhide rope.

Hou Jingde was in a good mood, stepped forward and patted Zhao Yi's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Thanks to you, little brother, for coming in time, otherwise I might have lost my life."

Zhao Yi didn't dare.

Hou Jingde looked around but did not see Li Xin, so he asked.

"Where is General Li?"

"Going back to the old general, the adoptive father is outside the camp. Now that the guards of the imperial army are taking off their armor, they should bring people in soon."
