Liu Buqi's Complaint to the Emperor
Led by Yue Lingxi, two thousand Youzhou cavalrymen came to Xuanwu Gate leisurely. The defenders on the city happened to be the Jingzhou troops who had just attacked the defense line of Tiance Mansion on Xuanwu Street.
An officer who looked like a deputy general ran over, gave a standard imperial military salute, and then truthfully reported to his friendly forces the news that Lord Ning Wang was attacking Tiance Mansion.
What responded to him was the result of two thousand dismounted cavalrymen surrounding their exhausted division of several hundred men.
After confiscating the weapons of these hundreds of people and throwing them into the Jinshui River, they tied them up tightly in groups of ten and locked them in the city gate tower. Two hundred elite cavalrymen were left to guard the passage. Yue Lingxi led a large army straight to Tiance Mansion!
…
After twenty years of management by Yue Beiqiu, Tiance Mansion has a complete defense system, which can be called a city within the imperial palace. Although the Jingzhou army is several times larger than the imperial guards who are hiding and defending, they still have a hard time. After several sieges, they left a lot of corpses under the city.
However, as the defenders at the Anhua and Yongchang gates in the outer city must remain in place to ensure the garrison's access to the city, the defenders in Tiance Mansion are very limited. If they continue to consume at this rate, they may not be able to hold out for more than two hours!
Yue Chengqiu had already brought the Emperor up to the tower under the protection of everyone, and angrily accused Yue Wuji of being unfaithful to the king and the country.
But the effect was minimal. The Jingzhou army had been supported by the Ning Wang lineage for generations. It was not an exaggeration to say that they only recognized Ning Wang and not the emperor.
What's more, Yue Wuji cried bitterly and said that the prince kidnapped the emperor and he was trying to rescue the king, but the imperial emperor Yue Hua in the tower remained silent!
Not to mention the Jingzhou Army, even the imperial guards in Tiance Mansion were a little confused. Which side was the emperor leaning on? As one side gained strength while the other lost strength, the Jingzhou Army actually became more imposing!
No matter how Yue Chengqiu glared at Yue Hua, His Majesty the Emperor simply fixed his gaze on something further away.
If these two factions of the imperial royal family remain deadlocked, when will the person he is waiting for appear?
Finally, the Jingzhou army captured a point in the northwest corner of the palace wall, but was quickly suppressed by the desperate defenders of Tiance Mansion.
But anyone with a discerning eye knew that the defenders were beginning to be unable to hold on, and more gaps would be broken until the defenders could no longer hold on!
At this moment, a flash of excitement flashed across Yue Hua's eyes, and in the distance, a torrent of steel covered in black armor slowly approached!
Both Yue Chengqiu and Yue Wuji expressed their infinite expectations for this team!
But Yue Lingxi just quietly came to a corner of the battlefield. He neither defected to King Ning's army nor seemed to be ready to switch sides to the Tiance camp!
The black death god under the Canglang army is like a greedy wolf guarding its food, constantly swaying in front of two "delicious" delicacies!
The Jingzhou army retreated first. Yue Wuji was really puzzled by the behavior of Marquis Anguo.
Once they launch a full-scale attack on the city, if something goes wrong, I am afraid that my own soldiers will be unable to withstand the impact of the Youzhou cavalry.
The sharp attack of this team that broke through the defense of Tiance Mansion not long ago is still vivid in our memory!
The Tiance Mansion defenders who were guarding the city breathed a sigh of relief as if they had been pardoned! Many of the defenders were so tired that they collapsed on the ground, unwilling to move for a long time!
Yue Lingxi seemed to have a natural battlefield intuition, which made Liu Buqi a little dumbfounded. He and he had already arrived at the outskirts of the battlefield, and just appeared on the battlefield under his leadership. Judging from the reactions of both the attackers and the defenders, the timing of their arrival was too accurate!
A brief and strange silence fell on the entire battlefield! None of the four Yue bosses seemed to be willing to speak first, but Liu Buqi couldn't let the situation drag on any longer. After all, the longer it dragged on, the more obvious Tiance Mansion's advantage would become!
"Your servant, Liu Buqi, wishes to bring a complaint before the Emperor against Crown Prince Yue Chengqiu and Prince Ning Yue Wuji. I hope Your Majesty will handle the matter impartially and bring justice to my husband and Youzhou!"
Liu Buqi's cold voice spread throughout the silent battlefield. It was so abrupt that even the two defendants felt deeply puzzled!
On the contrary, Emperor Yue Hua looked at the brave woman wearing armor and holding a saber with some surprise!
"Haha, interesting! A marquise has come to me with a complaint, and the ones she's accusing are my crown prince and my ministers! Tell me about it!"
Yue Hua's voice sounded in the audience for the first time, but Liu Buqi's eyes were full of confusion. The emperor did not regard Yue Wuji as a traitor at all, but instead said that he was a minister of Pythagoreanism. What was his intention?
Not to mention him, even His Royal Highness Prince Ning himself didn't know where this Pythagorean minister came from?
No matter what Yue Hua's intention is, Liu Buqi has to shoot the arrow now!
"I have reported the Crown Prince, but he broke his promise! He used the decree to trick meritorious officials into coming to the capital, leaving Youzhou leaderless. Under the attack of the Yehe barbarians, he suffered heavy losses!"
"I am accusing Prince Ning of assassinating a colleague for the second time! When my husband was receiving the title, you instructed Yanjing's deputy general, Ma Jia, to assassinate him, nearly causing him to be seriously injured and die!"
"I hope His Majesty will make the decision!"
Yue Chengqiu and Yue Wuji were a little confused by Liu Buqi's actions. If they were in different places, they would each have a bunch of excuses to cover up.
But it was obviously not a reason that could be openly refuted in the current situation! Therefore, there was no way to refute it, which caused a lot of discussion among the generals of both sides!
Yue Hua, however, asserted his imperial authority at this moment. "I've already known about the Crown Prince's affairs, but this is the first time I've heard of Prince Ning's affairs. However, since my nephew hasn't uttered a word in defense, it must be true!"
"Prince, you are the regent. How do you think we should handle this situation?"
Yue Chengqiu was now so angry that he gnashed his teeth. Yue Hua had tried his best to prevent Yue Lingxi from becoming the king, but now, after a double act by Liu Buqi and Yue Hua, he was made to be to blame. He really felt like a dumb person eating bitter medicine!
"I haven't seen my brother for years. I just wanted to catch up with him, but I forgot that I have a duty and cannot leave my post without permission."
"I was just thinking of reporting to His Majesty at the Grand Court tomorrow to confer upon Youzhou Commander Yue Lingxi the title of Prince of Yan, granting him the right to establish his own government and control Youzhou officials below the second rank. Madam Liu will also be granted the title of Madam Anguo, the first rank! Is this appropriate?"
These were the "sweets" that Changsun Wuwo and I had agreed to give Yue Lingxi. After respectfully reporting this to Yue Hua, he felt a little aggrieved. Under the watchful eyes of the public, this reward was the emperor's grace and had nothing to do with him, the prince!
"As for the matter of Prince Ning secretly assassinating Prince Yan, I will instruct the Ministry of Justice to thoroughly investigate the case and give Prince Yan an explanation!" This is a typical case of evading the issue.
"Very good! Let's proceed accordingly! Marquis Anguo, please come forward and receive the order!"
At this time, Yue Lingxi had to step forward to listen to the enthronement ceremony and express his gratitude. Thus, a somewhat comical scene occurred: the battlefield where a fight had just taken place had actually become the place where the newly crowned King of Yan was crowned!
Amidst the corpses strewn across the ground, Yue Lingxi, along with several personal guards, came to a place a hundred meters in front of the emperor, found a relatively open area without corpses, dismounted and stood still. This place was beyond the maximum range of the bows and arrows on the tower!
Yue Hua loudly repeated the reward the prince had just mentioned. This was now the golden word. From then on, Yue Lingxi was the true king of Youzhou!
At the moment when the decree was announced and Yue Lingxi saluted to receive it.
A sudden change occurs!
