The male protagonist, he doesn’t follow the script [Quick Transmigration]

The next day the sky was fine, and the clarity was a little too much.

Before the attack, Xia Yi suddenly wanted to see Tan Jiuzhang.

But the message he sent to Tan Jiuzhang was rarely responded to immediately.

At this moment, Tan Jiuzhang is staying in the most central part of the capital - the Imperial Palace, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Hundreds of civil and military officials—no, there are no more officials. After the combined army of the Beijing army and the city defenders was defeated, more and more officials fled in haste.

And the rest are almost all here.

"How many troops are there in Beijing today?"

A commander leaned against the pillar behind him with a wooden face: "It's only five thousand."

"...The matter has come to this point, the most urgent thing is to ask His Majesty and the crown prince to leave the palace. Keep the salary, and hope to make a comeback in the future."

"Your Majesty Li's words are wrong! If Your Majesty and the Crown Prince leave the palace, and the morale of the army in Beijing is in turmoil, how can they still have the strength to fight?"

"Even if His Majesty and the Crown Prince don't leave, can there be any turning point? The capital is at stake, and it is a blessing to keep His Majesty and the Crown Prince alive!"

……

Some ministers were arguing.

On the other side, the official minister and the others looked sad and gray, and each of them exuded an aura of decay like dead wood.

Those who are still here at this moment are either extremely daring opportunists, or loyal ministers who have been loyal to the last moment.It's just that there are two kinds of loyalty: some are loyal to the royal family, and some are loyal to the court and the world.

When everything goes well on weekdays, the emperor is the court and the world, there is no difference between the two.However, at this moment, the fate of the royal family diverged from that of the common people in the world, and there were some turmoil.

Compared to those who are still arguing about whether His Majesty and the princes should escape at this moment, they should fight until the last moment and even sacrifice their lives for the country—of course no one dares to say that, but there is such a meaning implied in the words— —Compared with the emperor and the prince, they are more concerned about Dasu, and more importantly, the fate of the world.

Someone said with tears: "The sky does not fake the year, and the time does not fake fate. After today, there will be no big nights. How can we talk about a comeback?"

Someone glanced at the group of people on the other side, and muttered with a strange expression: "If the monarch and his ministers are like this, maybe there will be no more big places, and it may not be a blessing for the common people."

Putting this in the past, it would be [-]% disrespectful.

But at this moment, the majesty of the imperial court dissipated under the atmosphere of a crowd of bereaved dogs. Except for one or two people who immediately scolded back, no one refuted loudly.

Some are ashamed, others—even if they dare not say it, they seldom agree with it.

—Probably because the people behind him finally “come to a conclusion”—

The crown prince and the seventh prince all decided to escape.

In fact, the so-called "conclusion" is just that they want to accept that idea.

"...I will escort Father to a safe place."

The prince said with an "integrity" face, as if he didn't want to flee, but wanted to win a battle like a hero.

Immediately afterwards, the Seventh Prince almost couldn't wait to declare that he "swears to protect the Emperor Father and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the death".

Their hypocrisy made Li Chengye feel the urge to vomit deep in his throat.

"I'll stay." He glared at his brothers, his voice hoarse, "you go away."

——At this moment, he didn't hide it, and he didn't care about "the subordinates offend the superiors", but just stared at the prince and the seventh prince fiercely and ferociously, like looking at his enemies.

And the crown prince and the seventh prince didn't care about this undisguised malice, on the contrary, they turned their eyes away——

Maybe deep down they also feel guilty and apologetic?

Or maybe it was just because at this time, the desire to survive overwhelmed everything, and the identities of the crown prince and the prince of Jian Guo could not maintain any dignity.

They hurried away—

He took the old emperor as a cover, and fled in a panic through the secret passage of the palace.

Tan Jiuzhang hooked the corner of his mouth.

He had been silent before, but only he knew that, as the prince's "confidant", he participated in the planning of the escape route, and then refused to escape with the prince on the grounds of "breaking the heir for His Highness".

This naturally earned the prince's gratitude.

It's a pity that the crown prince didn't know, that route was passed to Xia Yi outside the city immediately.

At this moment, there may be a net of heaven and earth waiting for them.

But now, in the main hall, the atmosphere was extremely depressed because of the prince's departure.

Some eunuchs and court ladies seemed to be crying because they couldn't bear it anymore—they were not taken away, but they didn't dare to slip away by themselves. The bold ones had already taken advantage of the chaos in the imperial city to leave, and they had lived in the imperial palace for several years. For more than ten years or even decades, I dare not imagine the life outside, so I dare not leave.

And now, the owner of the palace has left.

All of a sudden they were thrown into chaos.

After a moment of daze and confusion, they began to sob.

Grief and fear spread like a contagious disease.

Gradually, the crying became louder and louder, making people feel anxious and irritable from the bottom of their hearts.

"Enough, shut up!"

Li Chengye roared angrily, scaring the palace servants to instinctively stop crying.

"We are not finished yet, we can still resist those ferocious rebels! If you don't want to die, take up your arms and follow me! Where is the left servant of the Ministry of War? Guard the central city to gather the young and strong in the city, and guard the city gate against the enemy!"

Li Chengye roared.

He is as dangerous as an unsheathed knife at this moment.

Tan Jiuzhang raised his eyebrows:

This person is not completely unworthy of the status of a lucky person in this world.

Regardless of other things, this kind of firm determination is not something ordinary people can do.

It's a pity that he doesn't know how to protect the people and be sympathetic to the poor, so it's too futile to struggle now.

"Your Highness Sixth."

So Uncle Xuan Ping, who had been standing in the corner of the hall like a silent shadow, suddenly spoke,

"Why do you do this? These eunuchs and maids can only serve people, and the young and strong in the city have only carried poles and hoes. How have they ever held weapons? If you really feel sorry for their lives, why don't you let the palace servants go away on their own? .”

Li Chengye froze, and slowly looked at the man named Qin Zhang.

In the entire hall full of suffocating air, this person had an aura that was incompatible with other people, as if he was too calm.

No, not calm, but...

laid back?

This thought made Li Chengye's eyes change suddenly, and he stared closely at Tan Jiuzhang: "Uncle Xuan Ping is compassionate. What about you? Aren't you afraid of death? Why do you stay here?"

"Of course it's for loyalty."

The man was dressed in a unicorn robe, with handsome features, but he usually lowered his eyes submissively. At this moment, Li Chengye realized that there was a sharpness in Xuan Pingbo's facial features.

His heart skipped a beat: "I didn't know that Uncle Xuan Ping is so loyal, he is still willing to be loyal to the imperial court at this moment? If so, why do you stop me from leading people to defend against the enemy!"

Tan Jiuzhang twitched the corner of his mouth slightly: "What Zhang said to be loyal is for the common people, but not for the family."

The surrounding officials gasped in a "hiss" and looked at him in shock.

Every family belongs to the world, the family belongs to the world, isn't the world just like a family with one surname?He is so brave!

This is a direct denial of loyalty to the court of Dasu!

These days, the concepts of father, son, and son are very heavy. Even at this moment, many people have resentment and anger towards the court, and no one dares to admit that they are unwilling to be loyal.

Uncle Xuan Ping was almost arrogant.

Li Chengye was furious, pointed at Tan Jiuzhang and asked sharply: "You eat the king's salary, but at this time, you deceive the public with demonic words and utter rebellious words. What is An De's heart?!"

"An's is naturally worried about the elderly, weak, women and children in Beijing."

Tan Jiuzhang remained calm under his furious voice.

He glanced lightly at everyone in the hall:

"At this point, even if there are tens of thousands of Beijing troops, they will not be able to stop the rebels. What's more, there are only a few thousand defenders in Beijing. Sooner or later, the city will be destroyed. What are the people in Beijing doing? Your Majesty and the crown prince have already left, but your Highness wants the palace people and common people to die?"

These words are more sharp and bold.

Li Chengye was short of breath, his chest heaved, and suddenly he pulled out the waist knife from the waist of the guard with a knife, aiming at Tan Jiuzhang:

"Nonsense, disturbing the morale of the army! If you want to fight against the outside world, you must first settle down inside—I'll kill you villain first, and then I'll care about it!"

"Your Highness, take a look at this hall."

Where he pointed the blade, the man actually smiled instead, with a restrained arc drawn from the corner of his mouth, but in Li Chengye's eyes, he added three points of ridicule out of thin air.

"It is said that there are hundreds of civil and military officials, how many are left today? At least Zhang left it until the last moment. If His Highness kills me at this time, isn't he afraid of chilling the hearts of loyal ministers?"

Li Chengye held the knife with a ferocious expression on his face, but he really couldn't let it go——

For one thing, what Qin Zhang said is true.

At this moment, the hall is empty, there are only about twenty officials, and a group of trembling palace servants who wish to hide behind the pillars so that no one can see them.

Two...

No matter how decisive and ruthless Li Chengye was in politics, he never killed anyone with his own hands.

He just hated Tan Jiuzhang so much that even if he asked him to cut it down, he would inevitably hesitate.

Tan Jiuzhang saw through his sternness, and just smiled when facing the flickering knife.

Although he was born as a noble son in this world, he has practiced in the previous world and his skills are very good.So, with little effort, he stretched out his hand to press Li Chengye's hemp tendon, and when the other party let go, he took the weapon lightly.

Under Li Chengye's unbelievable and angry eyes, he said:

"Your Highness, did I say something wrong? Now Dasu is powerless, and even His Majesty and the Crown Prince have left. Your Highness's loyalty and unyielding attitude is admirable, but it is just in vain. It is not easy for the people, Your Highness still let them live Bar."

Li Chengye became more and more angry.

Not only him, but also several officials who were extremely loyal to Dasu jumped out to accuse Tan Jiuzhang of arrogance and infidelity.

It is said that devotion to the country is what the people should have. The building will collapse, so of course they have to fight bloody battles. Even if they can’t win, one more person from the rebel army will die. There is no reason for the Sixth Highness to fight desperately and live in vain. ?

"Stay alive?"

Tan Jiuzhang showed a strange look on his face,

"I don't know what dissatisfaction Mr. Zhang has with His Majesty, the Crown Prince and the Seventh Prince, but he wants to describe them like this?"

"You, you spitting blood! ——How could I say Your Majesty, Your Majesty...I'm talking about those common people——"

"The Son of Heaven guards the gate of the country, and the king dies."

At this moment, Tan Jiuzhang didn't want to hypocritically say anything about "loyalty" or not "loyalty" to foolish and loyal people like them.

He stared at the civil servant with undisguised contempt in his tone.

"The emperor usually enjoys the world's delicacies and delicacies, sits on the wealth of the world, and is pampered; the people are busy all day long, in exchange for food and drink, barely satisfying their hunger. Now that the rebel army is approaching the city and the emperor is fleeing, Master Zhang thinks that the people should be asked to sacrifice their lives? ?”

That grown-up's face turned purple: "You——you're disrespectful!"

"Master Zhang is very respectful, so why not take the lead and guard the city gate?"

"Zhuzi is presumptuous! Do you dare to be so domineering and threaten the minister?!"

"It's not like Master Zhang's mouth is like a lotus flower, talking on paper."

"you!"

"Enough!" Li Chengye slapped the table next to him fiercely, his face full of suppressed anger.He glared at Tan Jiuzhang, his eyes were poisoned: "What a Xuan Ping uncle. Good eloquence."

He was furious in his heart, but he couldn't express it.

Even though Qin Zhang is presumptuous, as he said, there are only a few officials left, and if he kills again, he will first disturb the hearts of his own ministers.

It was just now that Qin Zhang and Mr. Zhang had a verbal dispute, and looking at the expressions on the faces of those ministers who didn't intervene, one knew that many people actually recognized Tan Jiuzhang.

Li Chengye's heart sank all the way.

When the atmosphere in the hall was tense, a small yellow door came to report tremblingly, with a crying tone in his voice:

"...The rebels, the rebels... have begun to attack the city! All eight gates of the capital are blocked..."

The entire hall was silent for a while.

The person who was crying before even suppressed his crying at this moment.

Li Chengye tightly closed his eyes.

He didn't care about dealing with Tan Jiuzhang anymore, and the palace servants—these eunuchs and court ladies were trembling like chaff, and they didn't have the slightest will to go all out after Tan Jiuzhang's words.

Li Chengye knew that he would forcefully take them there. If the rebels shouted to surrender, they might turn their backs immediately, so he had to clenched his fists tightly, ignoring these palace people, and only squeezed out an order between his teeth: "Minister of the Ministry of War, Dispatch troops, follow me!"

After giving the order, he didn't forget to take another hard look at Tan Jiuzhang, as if he was going to cut him to death with an eye knife. ,

"……Yes."

The voice of the left servant of the Ministry of War responded weakly.

Tan Jiuzhang watched Li Chengye lead the people out of the palace gate, turned around and smiled at the eunuchs and maids:

"By this time, there is no one in charge at Dasu, all the palace servants, let's go."

Some of those eunuchs and court ladies were almost born in the palace, and they didn't dare to leave the palace at all, trembling and crying in disbelief.There were also bold ones who ran out and kowtowed to Tan Jiuzhang a few times, thanked him with sobs for saving their lives, and then ran away quickly.

"Uncle Qin——ah. What are you talking about. This, these are palace people..."

Why did you act so boldly and let it go?

Tan Jiuzhang glanced at him. He was the doctor of Guanglu Temple. He was also the one who jointly asked the emperor to stop the prince from seeking assistance from the Jin people.Now in his mind, the common people are the main thing, and he cares more about it than the imperial court.

Tan Jiuzhang has a much better attitude towards this kind of potential self.

"At this time, they don't have a master anymore, and naturally they don't have to abide by any palace rules. Compared with a group of palace people who have never touched the sword-mucang and are really taken to defend against the enemy, it is better to find their own way out."

When he said this, the doctor of Guanglu Temple didn't say that he was "brave and reckless"-it seemed that he was assimilated by Tan Jiuzhang to a great extent.

He just stumbled and sighed:

"Hey. Now that the rebels are attacking the city, and there is chaos outside, they will die if they go out..."

"That's not the case. Your Excellency may not have heard of it? Every time the rebels come to the city, they don't harm the people in the city. They only confiscate the wealth of the powerful and dirty officials. If you want to come to the capital, there will be no exceptions."

The doctor of Guanglu Temple was astonished:

"Is what you said true?"

"nature."

When the two of them came and went, some people who were loyal to Dasu couldn't stand it:

"Uncle Xuan Ping's speech seems to be quite appreciative of the rebels? Just now you stopped His Royal Highness and led the palace to defend against the enemy, and now you are praising the rebels. Could it be that you have colluded with them long ago?!"

He asked angrily, but his original intention was to join Qin Zhang's army.

But he saw the tall man in the unicorn suit with a half-smile:

"So what?"
