MTL - Unparalleled Concubine-v2 Chapter 1112 Bet with Changan

   Chapter 1112 Follow Chang'an to bet

  Led by, or controlled by, a few imperial soldiers, Zhao Yi, who was only 16 years old, held the imperial edict high, swallowed his saliva, and stepped into the camp where the swords were drawn.

   Hou Jingde and Chong Xuantong looked at this imperial edict at the same time.

  The thoughts of the two people are not the same, especially Hou Jingde, who is extremely nervous now.

As the chief general of this defense, Chong Xuantong probably already knew what the current situation in the capital was like, and also knew that the imperial city might have fallen, but Hou Jingde had been staying in the Zuoying camp from last night to now, and the sky had just dawned. When he got up, before he had time to receive any news, Chong Xuantong brought someone in.

   At this time, he had no idea what was going on in the imperial city. That is to say, for this general Hou, this imperial edict was to pronounce on him whether he was alive or dead.

  Chong Xuantong frowned tightly and did not speak.

   Zhao Yi took a deep breath and held out the imperial edict. He didn't let the people in the camp kneel down, and just opened his mouth and read it.

   "The edict said..."

The format of the    imperial decree is similar. Most of the words are nonsense, and only a few sentences are useful.

   Zhao Yi continued to read: "General Zhu Guo, Tai Fu Li Xin, led the rebel army into Beijing to cleanse the world..."

   After hearing the words "General Zhuguo", Hou Jingde, who was quite nervous at first, suddenly relaxed, and his heart burst into ecstasy. He couldn't hear a word of what came after the imperial decree.

   This tall black-faced general laughed.

   His smile was filled with the joy of a winner.

  Because he knew that in this big gamble similar to the change in the Imjin Palace, he went off again, and… won the gamble again.

   Looking at Chong Xuantong on the other side, his expression was extremely difficult to see.

   Zhao Yi gritted his teeth and continued to chant.

   "Order the battalions in the capital, all the generals and soldiers of the Great Jin Dynasty, to remove their armor on the spot, turn in their weapons, and stand by on the spot, no more..."

   Hearing this, Chong Xuantong couldn't bear it any longer. The old general had a gloomy face and said coldly, "Where did you come from, how dare you falsely pass on the imperial edict!"

Although Zhao Yi is still a young man, he is smart from the beginning. He has experienced a lot of things in the capital during this period of time, and his mental vision is far beyond that of his peers. After hearing Chong Xuantong's question, he was nervous. But there was no fear on his face, he raised the imperial decree in his hand, and said solemnly: "General Chong, this is the imperial decree drawn up by the Shangshutai, the Shangshutai has stamped it, and the emperor has also stamped it, the old general. Could it be that you have to rely on the soldiers to respect yourself and disobey the imperial edict?"

  Chong Xuantong shouted angrily: "It's clearly you daring rebels who broke into the forbidden palace, wrapped the Shangshutai and the emperor, and wrote down these unknowable imperial edicts."

   Zhao Yi was not afraid, and said loudly to Chong Xuantong: "General Chong, the emperor has agreed to abdicate!"

"Tomorrow at most, the sixth prince will enter the capital to take the throne, and then everything in the Yuan Zhao Dynasty will be overturned and restarted. Now someone has taken over the right battalion of the forbidden army with the imperial decree. There is no second general in the right battalion of the forbidden army. How long will it take to disarm and stand by."

   He looked at Chong Xuantong and said solemnly, "With General He here, the right battalion of the forbidden army will even turn against each other immediately."

Having said that, Zhao Yi looked at Chong Xuantong, and then at the three Zhechong commanders behind Chong Xuantong, his face expressionless: "The old general is stubbornly begging for death, and no one can stop him, but the old general will definitely Do you want to die with half of the left camp of the forbidden army?"

   "Enough of the dead."

   Zhao Yi shouted loudly: "The general has already said that the forbidden army will take the initiative to disarm and turn over the weapons. In the future, I will still be a colleague. If I am obsessed, I will be an enemy in the future!"

   "The emperor is planning to abdicate, and when the new emperor ascends the throne, you will be the rebels of the new dynasty!"

   Most of the people in the Zuoying of the Forbidden Army turned to Hou Jingde, but because Chong Xuantong was under the emperor's life, only three Commanders Zhechong chose to stand on Chong Xuantong's side.

   But in the final analysis, they were on the side of the court.

   Now... the imperial court has fallen into the hands of the Southwest Army.

   Hearing Zhao Yi's remarks, the three of them frowned and stood hesitantly.

Hou Jingde on the other side has calmed down now, still with a smile on his face, grinning at Chong Xuantong and the three Zhechong commanders behind Chong Xuantong: "Everyone, you are all loyal to the emperor. Yes, if the emperor has already issued an edict for you to remove your armor, in a few days, the emperor will be replaced by someone else, do you really want to die for this?"

   Hou Jingde chuckled: "You die happily, what about your wives and children?"

   "I would have recognized them."

   Hou Jingde spent so many years in the left camp of the Imperial Army. He knew where these subordinates lived and how many children they had.

   Hearing Hou Jingde's words, the faces of the three Zhechong commanders behind Chong Xuantong changed.

   As a soldier, there is nothing to say about dying for the emperor, but before dying for the emperor, there is a pension after death, and my son may still be able to enter the forbidden army because of this, but if the emperor changes...

  If these people die here, they will become rebels. Not only will their family members not get pensions, they may also be implicated!

One of them, Commander Zhechong, who was in his 40s, didn't say a word, just took off his armor silently, threw the long sword in his hand on the ground, and then took the initiative to kneel in front of Hou Jingde and kowtowed: "General, there are only so many last generals. offend…"

   Hou Jingde was still smiling.

   "It's not too late, it's not too late."

  There is the first one, and there is the second one. Soon the three Commanders Zhechong had all disarmed and stood on Hou Jingde's side.

In this way, all the Zhechong commanders in Zuoying had already stood on Hou Jingde's side. The imperial decree was quickly issued. There were four Zhechong residences left in the Zuoying of the forbidden army. Everyone took off their armor and turned them in weapon.

   Although the name is "rest in place", but in fact they have become prisoners of the Southwest Army.

   However, these forbidden troops did not make any mistakes. After the establishment of the new dynasty, they were still the forbidden army.

   The people around him turned their backs one after another, and Chong Xuantong's face was surprisingly ugly.

   Soon someone who wanted to "make merit" rushed up and tied Chong Xuantong with a cowhide rope.

  Hou Jingde was in a good mood. He stepped forward and patted Zhao Yi on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Thank you little brother for your timely arrival, otherwise the old man's life may have been lost."

   Zhao Yi even dared not.

   Hou Jingde looked left and right, but did not see Li Xin, so he asked.

   "Where's General Li?"

   "Returning to the old general, the adopted father is outside the camp. When you see the soldiers of the Imperial Army disarming, they should bring people in soon."

   "It turns out that the little brother is Chang'an's adopted son. No wonder you have some shadows of him."

   Hou Jingde glanced at Zhao Yi once again, hehe smiled: "Young people have a bright future."

   "Praise from the old general."

  Hou Jingde squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "I'm an old friend with your foster father, so you don't need to be like this. How about calling your uncle if you like the old man?"

   Zhao Yi took two steps back and bowed his hands to Hou Jingde respectfully: "The younger generation has seen Uncle Hou."

   "What a smart young man."

  Hou Jingde patted his palm and praised: "The future achievements must not be bad."

   As the two of them were talking, Li Xin had already brought someone in. Hou Jingde saw Li Xin coming, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, General, Hexi."

  Li Xin waved his hand.

   "Nothing to congratulate, bro, is it okay?"

   "Of course I'm fine."

  Hou Jingde was in a good mood at the moment, with a smile on his face all the time, he said with a smile: "It turns out that I am not mistaken, you can always make a lot of money when you bet with Chang'an."

   "It was the same ten years ago, and it is the same today."

   Li Xin also had a smile on his face, and said, "It's not my brother today, it won't be so smooth no matter what."

   "Go back and give you a credit for the first boarding, bro."

   Hou Jingde laughed.

   "Then...Thank you, General."
