Early the next morning, Ji Yuan, whom he hadn't seen for half a year, flew to Heli.

When Ji Yuanfei saw Wei Chengxue, he couldn't stop crying. After calming down for a long time, he took out the map and circled the provinces where the King Zhao's banner had been planted, and said, "Most of the Eastern Qi was under his command. Day will reach Xihua and Nanzhou, and His Highness will soon be worthy of the name Lord of the world."

Wei Lingxue was not surprised by favor or humiliation, and only smiled faintly after hearing the achievements of the world.

Tao Jiusi said: "Sir, it's time for a showdown between the Zhao Palace and the imperial court. Once the year name is drawn up, His Highness is ready to stand on his own."

Ji Yuanfei nodded with mixed feelings, and accepted the matter, Wei Lingxue was one step closer to becoming emperor.

At the beginning of July, four-year-old Qi Feiyu was promoted to the throne. Because of his young age, concubine Liao temporarily listened to the government behind the curtain.

Huangkou's child, a woman in the deep palace, this also caused Dongqi's trust in the royal family to drop below the freezing point, and many state capitals turned to King Zhao.

Also at the beginning of July, Wei Chengxue took out the Imperial Seal of the Emperor of Wei, claiming that Du Xiangrong had poisoned the late emperor, and that Wei Rongyu's position was not right, and he declared himself independent, with the year name Kaiping.

The king of Zhao stood on his own, and the state of Wei was in an uproar.

Wei Rongyu finally made up his mind, sent Du Xiangrong to the Taimiao to guard the spirit, and gathered another 20 troops, claiming to be 30, led by Jiang Wenyuan to Ning Province, trying to make a drastic move.

However, Tao Jiusi had anticipated this, and had arranged for Shen Jieyi and Yao Wangze to prepare their troops for several days, waiting for Wei Rongyu to take the initiative to provoke.

In mid-July, the entire territory of Hezhou surrendered, and Pingshan, the capital of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, was within easy reach.

On the twelfth day of the seventh month, Wei Lingxue led his troops to the foot of Pingshan City.

Pingshan is an ancient city, which used to be the capital city for four times in history, but most of them were kingdoms that did not speak culture and ink, so there were not many gorgeous rhetoric and romantic stories left, just standing in a corner simply and plainly, watching the changes of the world.

Wei Chengxue's great achievements in the Eastern Qi Dynasty are now well-known to everyone, and in the places that have surrendered, everyone's life is well known, so at the current stage, the city that opens the door to surrender is far better than the city that dances with knives and guns. There are many cities.Hirayama belongs to the latter.

After Qi Xian died, with deep hatred for Wei Chengxue, Lu Douxing single-handedly returned to Pingshan, supported the new emperor to ascend the throne, and arranged for Concubine Liao to be in charge of the government.

Wei Lingxue's iron hooves are about to crush Pingshan, and the Eastern Qi court is divided into two parts at this time. On the one hand, Lu Douxing is the main body, advocating bloody battles to the end. There are not many members but full weight; on the other hand, Tan Buchen is the main body, who wants to surrender , many members but no big shots.

The sound of killing outside the palace was loud, and the two factions inside the palace were also fighting with each other.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise, which startled the little emperor in the hall to burst into tears.

Concubine Liao put her arms around her son, tremblingly said: "What is this sound?"

Lu Douxing replied: "Ma'am, it's probably because the defenders of the city tower fired."

Tan Buchen said, "That's not necessarily the case. I heard that Wei Chengxue also has cannons, which are better than ours."

Concubine Liao burst into tears, and said, "What! They...they also have cannons? Didn't everyone say that David was weak?"

Tan Buchen clasped his fists together and said, "Madam, I've met Wei Chengxue before, and it's really normal to say that he can come from behind."

Concubine Liao said sadly: "Isn't this the sky that wants to kill me Daqi!"

Lu Douxing said displeasedly: "Mother, don't talk about being discouraged, Pingshan City is strong, and our food is also sufficient, it will definitely not be a problem to last for a few months."

Concubine Liao said blankly, "How many months can it last?"

Two more cannon shots were fired, Qi Feiyu was sobbing, Concubine Liao also wept silently.

Someone came out and said: "I heard that in the place where the surrender was made before, all the prefects and envoys are still officials. It's not as good as us..."

Lu Douxing shouted: "Bold!" Then without further ado, he raised his knife and dropped the man's head and body, and said: "We must fight to the end! If we talk about surrendering, we will end up just like him!"

The crowd was quiet for a while, and suddenly someone came out and said: "Lord Chief Assistant, I definitely don't want to surrender. I just have a headache. I don't know if I can take leave and go home to rest?"

Another human said: "Master Shoufu, I also have a stomachache, can I go home and lie down?"

Lu Douxing pointed at them with a knife and said, "Headache? Hold on! Stomachache? Hold on! Don't think I don't know, you just want to be deserters!"

Lu Douxing used to be a bit awkward in front of a powerful emperor, besides, he practiced the way of being wise and protecting his life, and he was recognized as a good man by everyone.However, after witnessing Qi Xiandu's tragic death and having to shoulder the weight of the entire court, he had no choice but to show his most ruthless side.

Lu Douxing said: "Before we fight back, everyone has to stay here to protect His Majesty. If the enemy comes, even if you are unarmed, you must stand in front of His Majesty with your bare hands!"

No one spoke, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, looking for a way to survive.

Lu Douxing yelled and yelled and killed for a while, his physical strength was a little weak, he sat cross-legged under the throne, and watched the movements of the courtiers with all his energy.

At this moment, the heavy palace door was pushed open, and a man covered in blood crawled in. This man's face was dirty, and he could barely see the whites of his eyes.

Qi Feiyu finally stopped crying, and now seeing such a monster, he started to yell again.

In the midst of His Majesty's crying, he crawled under the throne with all his strength, hugged Lu Douxing's thigh, and cried: "Shoufu, the city is broken, and the guards' firearms are too fierce, we really can't resist."

Seeing this man's snot and saliva dripping onto his robe, Lu Douxing couldn't help feeling a little disgusted, kicked his legs and said, "Get up and talk."

The man wiped away his tears, straightened up tremblingly, and cursed: "The damn guards don't know where to learn how to make a cannon that can adjust the angle, and it can fire continuously! Brothers saw that cannon as if they saw a ghost." Same, after a few shots fired, everyone's legs were so frightened!"

Tan Buchen said: "I said earlier that Wei Chengxue is very powerful, we are no match for him at all."

The man nodded, and said again: "It didn't take long for them to blast a gap in the west of the city gate. I saw something bad, so I hurried to report. It is estimated that this group of guards is about to arrive at the imperial city! In my opinion, hurry up and report to the imperial city!" The emperor is looking for an ordinary child's clothes, send him to run away!"

As soon as the news came out, the courtiers in the palace began to whisper. Taking advantage of the confusion, Tan Buping called a young man with the appearance of a military officer beside him to give some instructions.

Lu Douxing pinched his knees with both hands, tried his best to resist the fear in his heart, and forced himself to be calm: "You go to the side hall to rest first, I will make my own decisions."

After this person exited the hall, Lu Douxing couldn't help thinking about the feasibility of taking the emperor to escape.

Although Dong Qi almost fell into Wei Lingxue's hands, he felt that there were always some people who were attached to Dong Qi and would help them.At that time, it is not impossible to unleash the banner of the emperor of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, recruit troops and buy horses, and turn against the wind.

However, it is still difficult to escape from the palace and bypass Wei Lingxue's army, how should I go...

"what!"

Lu Douxing was still in a daze, when suddenly a loud cry sounded behind him.

Lu Douxing turned around and saw Qi Feiyu's little head had run away from home and was being held in the hands of a military officer.

Concubine Liao's face was covered with blood, as if she was stupid.

In the next second, Concubine Liao's beautiful head was also chopped off.

The man held the mother and child's heads in his left hand and a long knife in his right, and came towards Lu Douxing again with a smile on his face.

Lu Douxing wanted to stand up and run away, but his body was weak and he couldn't stand up no matter what.

Tan Buchen said sympathetically at the bottom of the steps: "Sir Chief Assistant, I'll use the first excuse!" Then he signaled the military officer to stop playing the game of cat and mouse, and quickly looked at Lu Douxing to settle the matter.

Lu Douxing climbed a few steps with his arms supported, he was angry and afraid, and said: "How courageous! How dare you murder the Holy Majesty!"

Tan Buchen said with a smile: "What sage? I only have one sage and that is Emperor Kaiping! Just now I killed only the remnants of the previous dynasty, why not?"

Lu Douxing was driven to a desperate situation, knowing that he would die, but instead he aroused a bit of pride, he puffed up his chest and said, "Tan Buchen, your brother is a traitor! You must die! You..."

Before he finished speaking, the military attache already had an extra head on his left hand.

Before he died, Lu Douxing was thinking that his life was going well, and he never thought that he would be a minister of subjugation and die at the hands of his colleagues.

Just half an hour after the three of Qi Feiyu were killed, their heads appeared in front of Wei Lingxue.

Tan Buchen and a dozen courtiers kneeled respectfully in front of Wei Chengxue, holding the heads of his Majesty and his superior.

Tan Buchen said flatteringly: "Your Majesty, we met in Jingluo before, and then I concluded that you must be the number one person in the future."

Wei Lingxue was riding on a tall horse, looking down at Tan Buchen and the others, all with flattering smiles.

Wei Lingxue sneered in his heart, and said, "I was also very impressed by what Mr. Tan did that day."

Hearing the cold tone, Tan Buchen couldn't help trembling in his calves, and reluctantly said: "Your Majesty, I was ignorant at the beginning, but now I have come to my senses. Didn't I take the heads of Qi Feiyu and others to show my sincerity?"

Hua Yuntai behind Wei Lingxue suddenly said: "Master, you don't hate this kind of person the most for treachery."

Tan Buchen immediately said: "Grandpa Hua, I am judging the situation, and I am breaking my promise."

Hua Yuntai patted Tan Buchen's shoulder with his sword, and said indifferently: "You have two damn reasons, first, the seller is seeking glory, and you can kill the master who swore allegiance in order to protect yourself; second, you have insulted Our Majesty and His Majesty's mother, Empress Duan, they don't have the turn of a filthy person like you to judge!"

Tan Buping's eyes flickered, and his heart had climbed to the extreme.

Wei Lingxue said lightly: "There is a third damn reason, and because of this reason, I will cut off your tongue before you die."

Tan Buping was forced by Hua Yuntai's sword energy to the point of collapsing, he wanted to pull out his tongue when he heard it, and asked in fear and anger, "Why is this?"

Wei Lingxue looked at Tan Buchen coldly, and said word by word: "You once made fun of Tao Jiusi, and you also told Qi Xiandu about Tao Jiusi's appearance and behavior."

Tan Buchen's eyes widened, as if he didn't believe that Wei Shixue would use this as a reason to kill him, and even pulled out his tongue.

Tan Buchen's tongue was a little knotted, and he said, "This... this little thing..."

The conversation was cut off abruptly, and Hua Yuntai pierced him with a sword.

Wei Lingxue looked at the rest of the former Eastern Qi ministers kneeling on the ground trembling, sighed compassionately, and said, "I promised Xiaotao, so you should go into exile instead."

Everyone hugged together and cried loudly in an instant, and they didn't know whether to thank Wei Lingxue for his noble hand, or to lament the impermanence of fate.

Wei Lingxue raised his head and looked at the Dongqi Imperial Palace at the end of the road, where there were many eaves and buildings, decorated with afterglow, golden everywhere, majestic and mysterious.

"Yuntai, it's been 15 years, and we're back again." Wei Lingxue sighed, with a sense of bleakness.

The ancient capital Pingshan is about to usher in a new era again.
