Chapter 644: Why Does Your Majesty Rebel?

Things like reinforcement troops, as Bai Lang expected, all took time to gather from various places, and it took a lot of time to argue about who would command and coordinate—anyway, by the time reinforcement troops appeared, the authority of the central imperial court was almost gone, and ambitious people should have appeared. Especially Bai Lang, who had already captured the Emperor, they should be called pacifying the disaster and defending the throne. Three princes, governors and governors in various places, whose orders should they listen to?

Anyway, whoever issued the orders would definitely be able to take the biggest piece of the cake in the future. Bai Lang had been in the Capital for half a month. The two governors of Shandong and Liaodong of the reinforcement troops had just brought troops over. The reinforcement troops of the governors in the Central Plains were scattered, and although they had arrived, they didn't dare to attack the city at all, and the number of people was limited. "How many can there be here? Can there be thirty thousand in total?" Bai Lang also looked at the reinforcement troops outside the city with curiosity.

These guys first harmed the area around the Capital, but after Bai Lang went out of the city and randomly picked a few camps to kill the officials and soldiers inside, these guys all huddled together to defend and didn't dare to go out to loot anymore. The Prince of Nan'an in the south had over one hundred thousand troops in his hands, but wanted to defend the throne? It would take at least half a year for him to reach the Capital. In the Imperial Palace, there was not only the Emperor but also the Retired Emperor. The father and son fought and cooperated.

Bai Lang suppressed the Emperor, but he hadn't seen the Retired Emperor yet. "If you want to take action, use the Retired Emperor's life to scare people first." Bai Lang also said this to his brothers. Shui Rong, the Prince of Beijing, was captured by Bai Lang, and he didn't do anything to him. After occupying the Capital, he just sent him back to the Prince's Mansion and raided most of his family's property as a ransom. Bai Lang's "perverse actions" in the Capital were to extort the property of various nobles and ministers.

"Nowadays, there is no one who is not greedy as an official. Raiding their homes is better than robbing the common people in the Capital." Bai Lang's army of ten thousand had controlled this huge Capital in half a month. What he actually wanted to control was the East City where the mansions of civil and military officials were, the West City where the nobles and dukes were, and a Forbidden City. As for the North and South Cities of the common people, he only needed to ensure order on the streets and suppress grain prices.

So Bai Lang didn't even close the nine gates of the Capital, but opened the gates to let merchants come and go, and no longer collected city gate taxes at the entrance. For a time, the market was actually much more lively. Bai Lang also restrained military discipline and didn't disturb the people, just a bit cruel to the officials and nobles, raiding homes and beheading people from time to time. "As long as the army is in hand, my family can go anywhere in the world." Bai Lang looked at the army of the Prince of Dong'an coming from the east on the city wall and smiled, "Just a bunch of grass chickens and tile dogs."

The arrival of these guys made the undercurrents in the city surge. The civil and military officials and the Emperor who was kept in the palace all had signs of restlessness. Bai Lang also drove straight into the harem and caught the Emperor and the Retired Emperor—he was really seeing the Retired Emperor for the first time. The two Emperors were sitting on the top, and Bai Lang walked in directly and said, "Is the Emperor trying to rebel?" As soon as his words came out, the two Emperors' faces changed greatly.

"Your humble servant serves the heaven and pacifies the disaster, which can be considered a great merit to the country. Why does Your Majesty have to rebel against us? It must be instigated by treacherous officials." Bai Lang looked at the eunuchs around, "Perhaps there are also relatives of the harem." As soon as the words came out, the eunuchs, palace maids, and concubines who were following them all knelt on the ground, chattering, "Wronged, it really has nothing to do with us. Please, Duke of Qin, spare our lives." Such words came out one after another. Bai Lang smiled, "So that's it."

"Sure enough, the Retired Emperor is not peaceful. It turns out the Retired Emperor is the treacherous official! Good! This time the reason for serving the heaven and pacifying the disaster is there! Return the government! Whose government? Of course, it's your humble servant's government. Hahahaha, come here, bring the Retired Emperor down!" Bai Lang straightened his back and shouted. His younger brother Bai Biao immediately walked up a few steps and pulled the Retired Emperor down. "Decency! Decency!" The Retired Emperor was also extremely angry.

"Then I'll give you some decency." After Bai Lang finished speaking, he drew the long saber from his waist, looking like he was going to kill the Retired Emperor. The Emperor could only cover his face and "cry," while several old eunuchs knelt on the ground and begged incessantly. It was the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine who ran over from the harem, and even the old Prince of Zhongshun came from outside the palace. They all knelt in front of Bai Lang and begged bitterly. Only the Emperor's face was not very good.

"I guess he is complaining in secret why I didn't just cut his father down earlier..." Bai Lang was also clear in his heart. The Retired Emperor was already over fifty, and he was scared and tired. This person was just sliding down. "The Retired Emperor is in chaos. I came to clear the side of the monarch. It's just right that everyone is here, let's see my means." After saying that, Bai Lang cut down the Retired Emperor who hadn't recovered yet with one saber...

By the way, he took a step forward, the saber light flashed again, and he cut down the old Prince of Zhongshun, "Brothers can be companions on the road." Bai Lang said a sentence. The Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine fainted, and the old eunuch cried bitterly, "You guys collect their bodies for them, and just stuff them into the mausoleum early. Just bury them with the dead, and they will be tomb-robbed later." Bai Lang smiled, "Alright, the treacherous official has been beheaded. Your Majesty, don't rebel, otherwise, I will exterminate your three clans."

After saying that, Bai Lang left. The Emperor also waved his sleeves, and those young eunuchs directly drove the concubines, Empress Dowager, and Imperial Concubine back to the harem. As for the Emperor himself looking at the bodies of his father and uncle, his face was like crying and laughing, crying and laughing, not crying and not laughing.

As soon as the news of Bai Lang killing the Retired Emperor spread, all the civil and military officials who had a bit of integrity refused to go to court. There were posters everywhere in the Capital cursing the rebellious thief Bai Lang. At this time, Bai Lang let his soldiers not care, "Let them go! From morning to night, from night to morning, can they cry or curse me to death? I just like to see their incompetent rage." Anyway, it didn't matter if they didn't go to court. There was no major court matter to be done by the reinforcement troops in the world.

Bai Lang was fully armored. He treated the reinforcement troops outside the city as a game, charging from time to time, making those people lose their morale. The reinforcement troops had low morale, but they couldn't leave. The two princes from the east and west arrived first and began to fight for the control of the reinforcement troops. It was not difficult to attack the Capital, but it was difficult to block the fierce attack of Bai Lang's army—at this moment, Bai Lang's bravery had already spread throughout the world.

"The world's number one fierce general, the unparalleled White Tiger." These were all the brave names of Bai Lang in the legends. Those with a bit of culture said he had the bravery of a tiger, and the reinforcement troops had really seen it during this time. Bai Lang led hundreds of elite cavalry, fully armored, holding a big saber and a long spear, destroying the deer obstacles and camps as if walking on flat ground, killing generals and cutting flags, moving forward without resistance, and there was no general who could withstand a single blow in front of his horse. ===== CHAPTER 645 =====
