More than 20,000 Tiger Guard soldiers abandoned their helmets and armor, gave up their weapons, and fled in just one stick of incense. The Tiger Guard soldiers at the top of the North City also fled with them. Zhu Si spent countless efforts and wealth to build the first elite force.
The Army Tigers and Guards were actually the first troops to disappear after the city was broken. They were completely wiped out.
Immediately afterwards, the guards in the palace mutinied. They killed the eunuch Liu Zhifu, opened the Xuanwu Gate, and surrendered to Yao Jin's army outside the city. Yao Jin led his army into the palace and joined Zhou Fei. The Jin army immediately placed Queen Xiao under house arrest.
As well as the young emperor Zhu Chun, other concubines such as Concubine Liu Guifei were also placed under house arrest.
Yao Jin did not stay in the palace for long. He left a few soldiers to guard him, and immediately ordered other troops to withdraw from the palace, close the palace gate, and wait for King Jin to deal with it.
Xiang Fei's army was stationed in the west of Luoyang, and the news was a little delayed. He only got the news when the Jin fleet entered the city.
He put on the clothes of a soldier and tried to escape, but he met his deputy general Dong Mian. Dong Mian walked quickly with dozens of generals and blocked Xiang Fei in the tent.
"Where are you going, General?" Dong Mian asked with a half-smile.
Xiang Fei smiled dryly and said, "I...I'll go back to the mansion to do some errands, and I'll leave the military camp to you for the time being."
"I have something I want to discuss with the general."
"What's the matter with General Dong?"
"That's it. We have decided to surrender to His Highness the King of Jin, but we don't have a surrender certificate. Can you please ask the general to take care of us and capture us without surrender?"
"What!"
Xiang Fei's expression changed drastically, he took two steps back, suddenly pulled out his sword, and several soldiers with strong martial arts rushed out from the side, throwing Xiang Fei to the ground.
Xiang Fei rose to power purely through nepotism and had low martial arts skills. The soldiers quickly took away his sword and tied him up behind his back.
"help me!"
Xiang Fei shouted to his soldiers for help, but more than twenty of his soldiers had been killed by former general Wang Guangling, left general Liu Kun and Huben Lang, Zhang Hong and others, and no one could save him.
"You bastard named Dong, I treated you well, but you repaid me like this. Your conscience has been eaten by a dog, and you will die a good death..."
Xiang Fei screamed and cursed desperately, and former general Wang Guangling punched him hard on the temple, causing Xiang Fei to faint immediately.
The soldiers blocked his mouth with rags, put a black cloth bag over his head, and carried him into a prison car that had been prepared. Interestingly, this prison car was the same prison car used by Zhang Guangsheng.
It was thrown into the corner of the military camp and found out by the soldiers.
Liu Feng's Prime Minister's Mansion was on the north bank of Luoshui River. He was the first to know when the Jin fleet entered the city. The 3,000 Qianniu Guards soldiers guarding the Prime Minister's Mansion had all fled in the first wave of escape.
Liu Feng's staff had resigned one after another, and only Yang Mi still followed him. Interestingly, all the people in the Xiangguo Mansion were from the Jin Army's Internal Security Intelligence Agency. Jiang Min and more than 500 intelligence agency men were all stationed in the Xiangguo Mansion.
, actually took over various treasury.
Liu Feng was the only one here who was at a loss. Liu Feng had resumed his former butcher attire, wearing a short coat, a wide leather belt around his waist, several pig-killing knives hanging on it, and a white cloth tied on his head. He held
A pig-tying bamboo pole was ready to go out, when Yang Mi came to see him with Jiang Min.
When the two of them saw Liu Feng dressed up like this, they couldn't help laughing. Liu Feng asked: "Where is the Prime Minister going?"
Liu Feng sighed and said: "Go back to Qiaojia Lane. The butcher shop there is my ancestral property. I am going to resume my old business. Mr. Yang, please take your wife and children back to your hometown! Buy a few more acres of land and become a small landowner. If you have the opportunity,
We will meet again!"
He said to Jiang Min again: "Thank you Mr. Jiang for your help last night. I will repay you if I have the opportunity!"
Jiang Min smiled slightly and said: "Before returning to the butcher shop, please ask Xiang Guo to accompany me to meet someone."
Liu Feng shook his head, "I am no longer a prime minister, and I don't want to see anyone anymore."
"But you must see this man!"
"you......."
Liu Feng was a little dissatisfied with Jiang Min's tone. He was about to shout angrily when he suddenly remembered that he was no longer the Prime Minister, so he had to hold back his anger and asked: "Who do you want me to see, sir?"
"Go see His Highness King Jin!"
"Ah!" Liu Feng was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.
...........
One hundred thousand troops quickly took over various important institutions in Luoyang, and the residences of various royal relatives were also sealed. The streets were full of Jin soldiers maintaining order, and dozens of porridge stalls were lined up with long queues. Everyone
You can get a bowl of thick porridge and two steamed buns.
Guo Song's five thousand stone boat and five large ships were moored on the south bank of Tianjin Bridge. These six large ships formed the Luoyang temporary government office.
In the main cabin on the first floor of the ship, Guo Song was listening to Zhou Fei's report. He first listened to the report about Li Zhen. Guo Song frowned and said, "Where have Li Zhao and Li Tie been sent? Haven't they found out?"
Zhou Fei shook his head, "Bizhi conducted an investigation afterwards, and only Li Zhen knew where they were hiding. But he is dead, so there is really no way to investigate, but Bizhi thinks they are not important."
"How do you say this?"
"Your Majesty, Li Zhao and Li Tie were born to Peng Wang Li Guan when he was fifty-five and fifty-seven years old. However, Li Guan lost his fertility after the birth of his eldest son Li Zhen and has no heirs since.
, how could he still give birth to two sons in his later years after being indulged in alcohol and sex for decades?
Therefore, these two sons must not have been born to him. They should have been born from an affair between the guard and his concubine. Secondly, according to the official records of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Zhao and Li Tie were killed at the same time as Li Zhen. It will be the same if they appear again in the future.
Fake people, based on the above two reasons, think that they are not important."
"Your thinking is very careful and your words are well said!"
Guo Song nodded approvingly and said with a smile: "Let's talk about the process of guarding the inner treasury."
Zhou Fei then told them in detail how they entered the inner palace and defended the inner treasury. Finally, he said with lingering fear: "Thanks to His Highness's foresight, when the crisis came, both Wang Xianzhong and Xiao Wanding tried to rob the inner treasury.
Within an hour, the inner treasury was captured."
"You mean, Liu Feng also played a role in protecting the inner treasure this time?" Guo Song asked again.
Zhou Fei was silent for a moment and said: "You must tell the truth when you are in a humble position. Although Liu Feng is mediocre, he is not a bad person. We created a conflict between the Tiger Guards and the Qianniu Guards. Xiang Fei has already doubted us. He asked Liu Feng to hand over the humble position."
He came out and was pushed back by Liu Feng.
Of course, Liu Feng thought Beizhi was Wang Qing, but in any case, Beizhi owed him a favor. He had indeed made a contribution by being able to guard the inner treasury this time. Without his help, we would not have been able to enter the inner palace, and he provided
A large number of weapons, especially crossbows and kerosene, played an important role. I also knew that he was going to commit a crime, and the crime is unforgivable, but I beg your Highness to spare his death for the sake of his meritorious service."
Guo Song smiled and nodded, "It's rare for you to plead for someone. I know how to deal with Liu Feng. What you need to do now is to have a good rest and obey my orders at any time."
"I humbly obey orders!"
Zhou Fei bowed with a bow and walked out of the main cabin. He met Jiang Min and Liu Feng. Liu Feng saw Zhou Fei at a glance and was shocked. "General Wang, why are you here?"
Zhou Fei smiled slightly and said: "My surname is actually Zhou, and I am the commander of the Jin Army's scout battalion. Thank you very much for Liu Xiangguo's hospitality these days."
Liu Feng stared at Zhou Fei blankly, with unspeakable bitterness in his heart. Jiang Min was the intelligence chief of the Jin army in Luoyang, and Wang Qing was the scout commander of the Jin army. They were all by his side. Could he be deceived so easily?
Jiang Min went in to report. After a while, he came out and said to Liu Feng: "Your Highness lets you in!"
Liu Feng walked into the cabin and did not dare to raise his head. He knelt down and kowtowed and said, "The sinner Liu Feng is here to see His Highness the King of Jin!"
Guo Song saw that the clothes were strange and he had never seen them before, so he asked, "Why are you wearing these clothes?"
"The villain...the villain originally wanted to escape home and continue to be a butcher!"
Guo Song was amused in his heart, but there was no expression on his face. He said calmly: "Since you call yourself a guilty minister, tell me where your sin lies?"
"The villain follows Zhu Si and helps Zhou to do evil. This is the first grave sin. The villain is obsessed with human rights and empties the court, so that the court is in vain and the government orders are not smooth. This is the second grave sin. The villain formulates various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes to squeeze the people, causing the people to live in poverty.
, the decline of Luoyang, this is the third most sinful crime."
Guo Song nodded, "It is true that you are ignorant and incompetent, and you have seized a high position, but your existence is harmful to the enemy country, but it is good for me. It is actually the same to evade the imperial court. It is harmful to Zhu Si, but it is good for me. Third
The fundamental responsibility for the serious crime is not yours. You are just an accomplice. Your real crime is the first one, following Zhu Si and helping the tyrants to commit crimes. Moreover, you are the prime minister and one of the most important accomplices of the Zhu thief. By rights, you should be executed!"
Liu Feng trembled all over and his face turned pale with fright. Guo Song glanced at him and said calmly: "But there are many people interceding on your behalf, and you did perform meritorious service at the last moment. You also wrote a report against Xiang Fei and Wang Xianzhong."
of letters.
In addition, I have also investigated what you did, and although you are not a good person, you have not done much evil, so I decided to grant amnesty and demote you to a commoner, allowing you to keep the butcher's property, and all other properties will be handed over!"
Liu Feng was so excited that tears flowed down his face, and he kowtowed, "Thank you for your great kindness, Your Highness. I will keep it in my heart."
Guo Song said calmly: "In the future, the imperial court may ask you to investigate some matters. Jiang Min will teach you how to answer. I hope you will not disappoint me. Go ahead! Cooperate well with the transfer of power."
No matter how stupid Liu Feng is, he understands that His Highness the King of Jin will let him go because he is still valuable. He doesn't know what else he can do?
Liu Feng kowtowed three more times and left in great excitement.
