Chapter 220 Entering the Imperial City, the Kingdom Changes Ownership
The sun was setting.
The afterglow of the setting sun stretched the shadow of the Jinling Imperial City very long, and also stretched the shadow of Jin Wang Chen Huaian, who was riding a horse against the light and standing proudly outside the Imperial City.
On the city wall, the treacherous prime minister Qin Ruhui looked at Chen Huaian, the "enemy who killed his son" under the city, and suddenly seemed to have regained some consciousness.
He raised the sword in his hand, pointed the sword directly at Chen Huaian, and said sternly: "The traitor Chen Huaian, who killed the king first and usurped the throne later;"
"Such disloyal, unrighteous, and unruly people without a king or a father, everyone with ambition in the world can punish them, and your name, Chen Huaian, is destined to be nailed to the pillar of shame in history by future historians!"
"I, Qin Ruhui, am the prime minister of the current dynasty, and a veteran of four dynasties..."
On the city wall, Qin Ruhui kept nagging at Chen Huaian's various deeds, and he remained motionless even though the Longcheng Jingnan army under the city poured in from various gates of the Imperial City.
Chen Huaian, who was standing under the city, was like a bystander who had nothing to do with the matter, listening coldly to Qin Ruhui's accusations of his crimes.
Behind him, the brave general Pang Xianchu and the Iron Buddha commander Fan Wuji, two veterans of the Po Lu army and old ministers of the Daxin Dynasty, had already rushed into the imperial city impatiently, and rushed directly to Qin Ruhui along the wide horse racing track in the inner city.
Qin Ruhui was still chattering: "King Chen Polu of Jin, who has his own army, ignores the laws of the country, and openly challenges the current emperor. It is only natural to deprive him of his military power-"
"Traitor Qin Ruhui!"
Suddenly, Pang Xianchu, who rode his horse to the top of the imperial city tower, shouted loudly, then drew his sword and put it on Qin Ruhui's neck, angrily scolding: "Qin Ruhui, open your dog eyes and see who is the dog thief who is seeking power and usurping the throne?"
"You pretend to be loyal to the emperor, but you are stealing the country, causing chaos in the new dynasty, and harming the pillars of the court..."
Pang Xianchu did not leave Qin Ruhui any face, and continued to scold: "Now you are wearing the dragon robe. Tell me, where did you take the emperor? Gone?"
"Your Majesty?"
Qin Ruhui's expression froze, and in an instant he turned into a madman again, grinning and saying, "Your Majesty, I am the emperor, and Zhao Lingzhan is just my puppet!"
"I, I have already killed him, hahaha!"
As he said that, Qin Ruhui raised the Emperor's Sword he made, gestured and said, "I just poked it lightly, and Zhao Lingzhan was poked in two by me, dead, all dead!"
"The country and people of this Great New Dynasty belong to me, all of them belong to me, and no one can take them away--"
Seeing that Qin Ruhui had fallen into madness, and knowing that the Hongxi false emperor Zhao Lingzhan had been killed, it was considered to have completely cleared the last stumbling block on the road to King Jin's ascension to the throne.
Fan Wuji and Pang Xianchu looked at each other, and the latter nodded at him with a firm look.
After getting the approval of the brave general Pang Xianchu, Fan Wuji, who had long wanted to put a yellow robe on His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, became a minister who followed the emperor, and had no more scruples;
He just shouted: "The treacherous minister Qin Ruhui has brought disaster to the country and the people, and now he has killed the emperor and committed crimes. According to the "Daxin Law", this act is considered treason and the nine clans should be executed!"
Crack!
The next moment, Fan Wuji raised his knife and fell.
Qin Ruhui's head, which still had the crown and tassels, flew out and fell on the bluestone slab outside the imperial city.
The headless body wearing the dragon robe staggered and finally fell to the ground.
On the other side, Pang Xianchu took a four-clawed yellow dragon flag symbolizing His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin from the flag bearer of the accompanying personal soldiers, and inserted it on the tower of the imperial city of the capital without hesitation.
Then, he shouted loudly to the outside of the city: "Welcome His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin to enter the city!"
"Welcome His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin to enter the city!"
Pang Xianchu said again: "Welcome the Longcheng Jingnan Army to enter the city!"
"Welcome the Longcheng Jingnan Army to enter the city!"
Under the roar of countless Longcheng soldiers who climbed up the city tower, the roar of welcoming His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin and the Longcheng Jingnan Army to enter the city resounded through the sky and echoed inside and outside the Jinling City with a history of thousands of years.
Outside the city, Jin Wang Chen Huaian jumped forward and walked towards the palace hall step by step along the bluestone road that had been blocked by the Longcheng Jingnan Army that had entered the city one step ahead.
On July 19, the second year of Lingwu in Daxin, Jin Wang Chen Huaian, who had raised an army in Longcheng, his fiefdom, fought for a year and nine months;
Finally, he led his Longcheng Jingnan Army to conquer Jinling, the imperial capital of the capital, which symbolized the seat of the highest political power of the Daxin Dynasty, without bloodshed.
Chen Huaian rode on the road leading to the Jinluan Palace, and along the way, there were soldiers of the Longcheng Jingnan Army kneeling and bowing to him.
This scene reminded him of the scene three years ago when he followed the former king Chen Polu to Beijing to attend the birthday banquet of the Great Xin Emperor Zhenwu.
At that time, Chen Huaian was still a Confucian scholar with the title of "waste prince", a small transparent person who was qualified to attend the emperor's birthday banquet.
But who would have thought that it was only three years.
To be precise, it was one year and nine months. The waste prince in the eyes of the civil and military officials of the Daxin court could actually wear armor and ride a horse step by step through the central axis of the palace and walk towards the Jinluan Palace, which symbolizes the supreme imperial power of the dynasty.
Behind Chen Huaian, there were more than a dozen Longcheng generals who deliberately fell behind and followed closely on horseback.
In order, they were the deputy marshal of the Longcheng Army Chang Yuchun, the general Wang Jian, the brave general Pang Xianchu, the admiral of the navy Qi Jiguang, Fan Wuji, Liu Ziyu, Luo Yucheng, Su Chen, Tang Ziyi, Li Jingyu and other generals.
There are not only historical legendary generals given by the [Born to Be an Emperor] system, but also generals from the original Po Lu army, and generals from the new surrendered army who turned against the enemy in the battle.
At this moment, all the generals had different smiles on their faces.
Some generals were happy because they were about to become ministers of the emperor and be granted titles and appointed as prime ministers;
Other generals were glad that they followed the right person. Although they could not get a good future of being granted titles and appointed as prime ministers, at least their original black hats and heads were saved;
When the group arrived at the Jinluan Palace, Chen Huaian looked at the empty and messy Jinluan Palace, which had long lost the majesty and magnificence when he came last time.
At this moment, he actually missed the old monk Dongfang Xiao in black clothes inexplicably, and missed the monk who had boasted that he would give him a white hat to wear.
Chen Huaian knew that it was easy to conquer the world but difficult to rule the country since ancient times.
His test has just begun.
Chen Huaian climbed up the nine steps step by step, staring at the dragon throne in the Golden Palace. In the end, he did not sit on it, but turned to look at the accompanying generals in the Golden Palace.
"Your Highness, the current situation is still chaotic, and rebels and bandits are everywhere in the Jiangnan region. I think that the country cannot be without a king for a day. I dare to ask Your Highness, the King of Jin, to follow the will of heaven and the people, ascend the throne and become the emperor, so as to calm the people of the world!"
