Chapter 29: The Decisive Battle of the Imperial City (Part I)

The yellow warbler jumped down from the wall and quickly flashed to the side, and the man also jumped down and flashed to the side.

Huang Ying quietly touched the man's back, and the man didn't look back, and whispered: "Senior sister, I know it's you, don't misunderstand." โ€

As soon as Huang Ying heard the voice, she knew that it was Chen Chunsheng, and said happily: "Senior brother, why are you here too?" โ€

"When the garrison comes to the official mansion, how can I stand idly by? I think they were in a hurry to meet and were going to do something soon, so I came along to find out what was going on. I didn't expect them to have a conspiracy. Senior sister, the emperor is in danger, you should protect the emperor well, and it is best to persuade him to hide first. I'll go back to the garrison camp and get ready, and see what the garrison camp will do next? If they besiege the Imperial City tomorrow, then I will only have the opportunity to act. Chen Chunsheng said.

"Senior brother, how many reliable people do you have in the garrison camp? I hope you will be able to put them to use when it comes to the critical moment. Huang Ying said.

"Senior sister, don't worry, I invite them to drink every day these days, spending a lot of money, now is the time for them to reciprocate, I don't think they should play tricks on me. It's the junior sister, you are fighting alone in the palace, you should pay attention to safety, and don't expose yourself until you have to. Chen Chunsheng said.

"Senior brother, don't worry, I've already thought of a way to deal with it tomorrow." Huang Ying said.

"What's the solution?" Chen Chunsheng couldn't wait to ask.

"Hee-hee-the secret of heaven must not be revealed, and the Imperial Garden will naturally see you at noon tomorrow." Huang Ying said with a smile.

"At this time, I still have the heart to play poor, I really can't help you. All right! We'll say goodbye and see you tomorrow at noon. Chen Chunsheng said that he left quickly, and disappeared into the vast darkness in the blink of an eye.

Huang Ying returned to the palace, and the palace was heavily guarded, so he had to bypass the guards and go around the emperor's bedroom to check.

It was already the fourth watch, and when the guards outside the dormitory were extremely tired, they sat down against the wall and took a nap.

Huang Ying took the opportunity to tiptoe over, flew to the pillar with light skills, and made a golden bell hang upside down to peek in, the candlelight in the palace was dim, and the emperor was sleeping on the dragon bed.

The yellow warbler slipped through the gap under the eaves and landed gently into the dormitory. whispered: "Your Majesty, wake up!" โ€

The emperor was sleeping in a daze, when he suddenly heard a cry, and opened his hazy sleepy eyes as if he was not awake and looked at Huang Ying, only to see Huang Ying wearing a night coat, like an assassin, his face turned pale with fright, and he said in a loud voice: "You-who are you?" Whyโ€”break inโ€”my dormitory? โ€

"Your Majesty, don't panic, I have no ill intentions. My name is Huang Ying, and I am the chief catcher under the Meizhou County Order Lord Xu, who learned that someone was going to be unfavorable to the emperor, so he specially sent me to protect the emperor. This is a letter from Lord Xu, and there is also a letter from Lord Qincha, please take a look at it. Huang Ying took out the letter and handed it over.

The emperor saw that the man in black was young and personable, and he liked it a little and worried a little, and when he saw that the man in black was defenseless, his heart was a little relieved.

"You were sent by Xu Wenbin and Li Mingzhong? Where are they now? The emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, when Lord Xu was solving the Meizhou bloody case, he discovered a big conspiracy. The theft of official silver and several bloody cases in Meizhou were all committed by the same gang. Most of these people have been arrested, and the only people left are the masterminds behind the scenes and his henchmen in the capital. Huang Ying said.

"Now that you've found the real culprits, why don't you catch them all? Where is Xu Wenbin? The emperor asked in amazement.

"Lord Xu and the minister are on their way back to the capital, and if nothing happens, it is estimated that they will arrive in the next two days. As for the mastermind behind the scenes, this man is leaning towards the government and the opposition, has many party henchmen, and has a heavy army, if he is in a hurry, it will inevitably backfire. Now they have jumped over the wall in a hurry, and tonight I found out the news that they will attack the emperor tomorrow and seek to usurp the throne. Huang Ying said.

"Who is so bold? Doesn't he want to live anymore? Young man, you can't be mistaken! "The emperor couldn't believe it.

"Your Majesty, all this is true. This person's name is Shangguan Qingyun, and he colluded with Fusang people and scum to blackmail civil and military officials. The capital garrison and the Imperial Forest Army are his henchmen, and they are at his disposal at any time. All this is true, please believe all this and make plans early. Huang Ying said.

The emperor listened to Huang Ying's words with a nose and eyes, so he believed it a little. He remembered what Shangguan Qingyun had done for more than a year, and he was like the Shangguan Qingyun in the past.

"Shaoxia, have you seen Gonggong Hai in the past few days? He is my ********, why haven't I seen him for days? The Emperor had doubts in his heart.

"The emperor doesn't need to look for him, he is also Shangguan Qingyun's person, and it seems that he has been sent by Shangguan Qingyun to perform a mission elsewhere in the past few days." Huang Ying said.

The emperor was shocked when he heard this, but he didn't expect that his most trusted father-in-law Hai was actually a person who ate inside and outside, and he seemed to feel that everyone and every pair of eyes around him were full of hostility. He opened Xu Wenbin's letter and read it, and sure enough, it was Xu Wenbin's handwriting, with sincere words and fine words. I read the letter of the minister again, and finally believed all this.

"Shaoxia, Shangguan Qingyun has been brewing for a long time to usurp the throne, and now the capital is full of his people, what should I do?" The emperor asked in a panic.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I've already thought of a way to deal with it. Since Shangguan Qingyun's goal is you, let's make a plan. That's what I think......" Huang Ying then told her plan, and when the emperor heard it, he was overjoyed and said: "The young man is worthy of being resourceful, so he will do as you say." โ€

In the early dynasty, hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in the hall, and the emperor did not come to the court under the pretext of poor health. Shangguan Qingyun wondered in his heart, and brought a few confidants and colleagues to the dormitory to visit the emperor, only to see that the emperor was sick and lying on the dragon bed, and his face was expressionless.

"Your Majesty, what's uncomfortable?" Shangguan Qingyun stepped forward and asked.

"I suddenly had a terrible headache last night, somehow? Maybe it's coming. The emperor said in a hoarse voice.

Shangguan Qingyun saw that the emperor's face was pale and his voice was hoarse, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and said pretendedly: "The emperor has worked state affairs, so he should relax." So be it! Please eat some bird's nest porridge first, and at noon, Weichen accompanied the emperor to the imperial garden to relax. โ€

"So good! It's just that I can't stand this body, so let's do it another day! The emperor excused himself.

"The emperor is in full swing, this little illness is not in the way, as long as you are kind enough to recuperate." Shangguan Qingyun said.

"I hope so. So be it! You go down first, and go to the Imperial Garden at noon to relax, and I promise. The emperor reluctantly agreed.

Shangguan Qingyun and the others withdrew, and in order to be foolproof, he sent his cronies to guard the Imperial Forest Army outside the dormitory and monitor every move in the dormitory.

At noon, the emperor went to the imperial garden accompanied by several guards, and Shangguan Qingyun and others had already set up a banquet in the imperial garden to wait for the emperor.

The emperor saw that more than a dozen civil and military officials came, and he knew in his heart that these people were all from Shangguan Qingyun's party, and their purpose was to force him to comply.

"Your Majesty, several colleagues have made some suggestions to me, but I don't know what to do? also asked the emperor to give Wei Chen an idea. Shangguan Qingyun said.

"What advice? Tell me about it? The emperor asked.

"They said that the emperor was not in good health and could not take care of the government, and now he was worried about internal and external troubles, and the people were panicked, so he had to choose someone to preside over the overall situation. My colleagues have asked me to come forward to take on this important task, however, this country belongs to the emperor, and Weichen does not dare to overstep his responsibilities. Shangguan Qingyun said hypocritically.

The emperor seemed to understand the sound of the strings, sighed and said: "Alas - what you Aiqing said is not unreasonable, I also want to unload my burden and live a quiet life, but my country is the foundation of my ancestors, and I can't make decisions without permission." It is better to sacrifice in the temple on another day and listen to the opinions of the ancestors. โ€

"How can a dead man listen to opinions when he can't speak? Could the emperor be reluctant to take the throne of the Ninety-Five? One of the squires said.

The emperor did not say anything.

"So the emperor doesn't believe in the sincerity of Lord Shangguan?" Another squire said.

"The world is the world of the people of the world, and only the capable live in it. Lord Shangguan has both ability and political integrity, and has made countless contributions to the imperial court, so it is natural for him to preside over the overall situation. The soldier's squire spoke.

The emperor listened to the words of these civil and military ministers, looked at Shangguan Qingyun, and saw Shangguan Qingyun sitting precariously, without saying a word, with a smug look on his face.

"Your Majesty, it's better to hand over the jade seal and save a lot of trouble. Lord Shangguan is a talent, and we believe that he will definitely govern the world in an orderly manner. Ma Zhenyuan was also busy patting his ass.

"Your kindness Shangguan Qingyun has received it, the emperor's body is still tough, and he has the ability to take care of the country." Shangguan Qingyun stood up and said.

"You are my minister, and you are the one who eats the king's worries, but I didn't expect you to collude with Shangguan Qingyun to threaten me. All right! I want to see what you are capable of. The emperor said angrily.

Shangguan Qingyun saw that the emperor refused to give in, so he immediately stretched his face and brushed his sleeves away. The civil and military officials saw that Shangguan Qingyun was angry, and they were silent one by one.

"Okay, don't talk about it, everyone do their job and go back! I'm tired, and I'm going back to the dormitory to rest. The emperor said and left.

"Want to go? It's not that easy. Someone's coming! Arrest this dog emperor. Shangguan Qingyun shouted, and those imperial forest soldiers came out from all directions and surrounded the emperor.

"Hahahaha-open your dog's eyes and see who I am?" The emperor suddenly laughed.

When Shangguan Qingyun heard the laughter, he only felt creepy, and he had to send the arrow on the string, so he had to come to the side.

"Your Majesty, since you don't know the times, then don't blame us for being ruthless. Someone's coming! Please invite the emperor to go to the official mansion as a guest. Shangguan Qingyun said.

Those royal forest troops rushed up and surrounded the emperor.

"Hahaha - Shangguan Qingyun, the mouse is not powerful, treat me as a sick cat. I'm going to show you the real thing today. The emperor said that, and jumped in front of Shangguan Qingyun.

Shangguan Qingyun never dreamed that the emperor would be so skilled, which he never expected. In order to confirm the emperor's kung fu, Shangguan Qingyun and the civil and military ministers pretending to be the Jianghu guests present were eager to try it one by one.

How could Shangguan Qingyun let go of this great opportunity? He suddenly attacked the emperor.

The emperor was not in a hurry, a harrier turned over and jumped out of the distance, and hurriedly walked towards the dormitory.

Shangguan Qingyun waved his hand, and those royal forest soldiers chased after him. Just as he was about to catch up, he saw Chen Chunsheng take some sergeants from the garrison camp to let the emperor go and block the way of the Imperial Forest Army.

Suddenly, the Royal Forest Army and the sergeants of the garrison camp fought together, and the sky was dark, and the sun and moon were dark.

Shangguan Qingyun has always dreamed of being an emperor, and since he has turned his face, he has no choice but to make a desperate bet.

"Brothers, don't let go of the dog emperor, whoever wins the emperor will be rewarded with one thousand taels of gold." Shangguan Qingyun said, then took out his housekeeping skills, jumped up, and swept over the heads of the warring parties like a dragonfly, and caught up with the emperor in less than a few minutes.

The emperor knew that there was a lot of luck and little luck, so he had to face the battle. The strange thing is that the emperor is clearly sick in bed, his body is weak, and he is actually energetic and energetic when he fights.

"Shangguan Qingyun, I didn't expect you to seem to be loyal, but secretly you actually made friends and plotted against you. Since you are so rebellious, then blame my men for being ruthless. Come on! Today is either a dead fish or a broken net. The emperor suddenly took out a few darts from his waist and hit Shangguan Qingyun with a flick of his hand.
