41. Settled

In the western suburbs of the capital, King Rui, who had been waiting for most of the night, was anxiously looking at the direction of the city, but there was no movement, and when he was about to get impatient, a pawn suddenly came to report, "Lord Wang, there is movement in the south." โ€

Following the direction of the pawn's finger, King Rui looked over, and sure enough, a horse was coming towards them. But when someone approached and he saw clearly, he felt that something was wrong.

The man on the horse was not the one who had contacted him in advance, but he looked a little familiar......

"Huh? Are you the ...... What, Qin, what is Qin? King Rui asked.

"Qin Yuan," the person immediately replied to him, "Qin Yuan, the secretary of the Xiajing Guard, has seen Lord Rui." โ€

Qin Yuan's tone was quite polite, but when he came to King Rui, he didn't plan to get off the horse.

"Why are you here?" Due to the special situation tonight, King Rui didn't plan to worry about him, but asked, "Did the prince call you here?" โ€

Qin Yuan smiled, "It's not the crown prince, I'm waiting for everyone in the Jingwei Division, and we only listen to the emperor's dispatch." โ€

King Rui was taken aback. That doesn't sound right!

But then what shocked him even more was that as Qin Yuan's words fell, a large number of torches appeared in front of him, as well as a troop of men and horses, far more than the three thousand people behind him.

"What's going on?" King Rui was in a hurry, didn't the prince say that the guards in the capital went to get the third child, why did he run to him.

"The prince doesn't have to worry, I'll wait here for a while, and when the emperor's will arrives, I will invite you into the city." Qin Yuan was not in a hurry or impatient, but he exuded an irresistible force.

What the?

King Rui raised his eyebrows and looked at the young man in front of him, a little Jingwei Division, dare to argue with his prince?

But when he looked at the troops of nearly 8,000 people behind him, he was immediately deflated, with 3,000 against 8,000, he was a normal person who understood that this could not be beaten at all, not to mention that this kid's kung fu was excellent, he tried it last time, and he only used the scabbard to pick his sword in a few moves, and he couldn't even beat his personal guards.

Damn it! I can't get in if I want to, I can't run if I want to, and I got on the thief ship of the prince, how do I feel that there is more than luck?

King Rui was quite apprehensive, and had already begun to find a reason in his mind to clarify his relationship with the crown prince, waiting for the prince to explain to his father if the prince was really defeated!

Funing Palace.

Since the prince left, it had been quiet outside for a while, and there were still only two people in the dormitory, Emperor Jianhe and Concubine Jing.

As the crown prince said just now, the current Son of Heaven, Emperor Jianhe, used this method to get rid of the former prince who was just about to ascend the throne more than 30 years ago and sat on the throne.

But the old scene reappeared, and now he turned out to be the one trapped, which made him angry, heartache and emotion. When he got rid of the imperial brother, he was neat, and it was his son's turn, after all, he was still soft-hearted, if Chu Lin first reported to himself that the Beijing suburb enclosure case was related to the prince, he could abolish this rebel, and now, there would be no current situation, if he could make a decision when he learned that the third child was assassinated twice, he would not have come to this......

Wrong is wrong! If you don't stop it quickly when you know it's wrong, you're asking for trouble, just like now.

By the way, the third?

Ji Ting will definitely not let that bastard be caught for nothing, if this evil obstacle can fight the third child, it can be regarded as how capable he is......

Just thinking about it, there was a sudden sound of fighting outside the hall, and the sound of swords fighting was terrifying. Concubine Jing was startled, hurriedly held the emperor's hand, and before she could speak, the emperor comforted her, "Don't worry, the rescuers are coming." โ€

As Emperor Jianhe expected. It was Song Chen's people who came, and the guards of the Hengwang Mansion were led by Gao Li, Lu Fang, and Xing Feng, and after half an hour of fighting, all the rebels in Funing Palace had been eliminated. As for the outside of Funing Palace, it has long been suppressed by King Heng, Pingnan Hou and General Qin Mu.

"Wechen is late to save the car, please ask the emperor to surrender!"

As the door of the palace opened, the three guards knelt down in front of Emperor Jianhe.

Recognizing the person in front of him, Emperor Jianhe asked, "Did Ji Ting send you?" What's going on outside? โ€

Gao Li replied, "Back to Your Majesty, it was King Heng who sent his ministers and others to come to the rescue." The palace has been stable, the rebel has been arrested, and the capital is fine, please rest assured. โ€

"Okay, okay." Emperor Jianhe got up from the couch, and Concubine Jing hurriedly went to get the robe for him to put on when he saw this.

"Go to the Diligent Palace." Emperor Jianhe got up and walked out of the palace gate.

Concubine Jing looked at the back in the distance, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

She knew that Song Chen had already prepared tonight, but when the prince broke in, she was still inevitably frightened, maybe she was really afraid that person would hurt her husband.

She didn't catch up with the palace change more than 30 years ago, because she only entered the palace after Emperor Jianhe ascended the throne, so she didn't know the turmoil at that time. But after experiencing tonight, she understands that after thirty years of deep palace, she has finally survived!

The time for her son has come.

At dawn, the Qinzheng Hall had already ushered in more than a dozen ministers.

Most of the people were shocked by the bloody scene after the palace change when they received the summons, starting from entering the Chengtian Gate, the road was full of dead bodies that needed to be dealt with, and the originally smooth stone road was already full of blood, and those older ministers actually recalled the scene more than 30 years ago after seeing these scenes, and it was the same time at that time, when the sky was about to dawn, they rushed to the outside of the Qianhua Palace, and saw Emperor Jianhe who had just been dressed in a dragon robe.

And today, when they entered the imperial study in batches, what they saw was still Emperor Jianhe, but he was the initiator of the palace change, but now he has become the person who was rebelled, although King Heng arrived in time to suppress the prince, it is considered to be in danger, but the emperor who has always been majestic After the betrayal of his parents and son, his face is still tired, this obvious change, finally let people remember that he has long been the year of knowing the destiny of heaven.

After the storm, in the face of the ministers, Emperor Jianhe was unexpectedly not angry, but calmly announced the abolition of the crown prince of Song Zhao, the second son of the emperor, and explained other things one by one. โ€

Emperor Jianhe was shocked, and there was another one? Sixth?

He traveled thousands of miles from Yongzhou to get involved?

The Ninety-Five Emperor was angry at this time, his life has never been questionable, but now he was betrayed by two sons, his heart can be imagined, Emperor Jianhe said angrily: "Take it!" โ€

"Yes." The commander bowed down and withdrew, and immediately sent the decree to the western suburbs.

In fact, it was not only King Rui who wanted to join forces in private, but King Shen of Liangzhou had already received his secret letter.

But although King Shen is absurd on the surface, he is not confused in his heart, what kind of person is his father, how can he let a prince betray lightly? What's more, there is still King Heng in the capital, brothers for more than 20 years, although they have been separated from each other since adulthood, but King Shen knows his third brother too well, King Heng, if you respect him, he will respect you, but if you provoke him, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

Thinking about Beihu back then, when he was just crowned prince, he invaded the border of Yanzhou, thinking that he was fledgling and had no power to resist, what was the result? It wasn't for his decisive personal expedition to lead the army, and it only took three months to lose 50,000 people in Beihu, which is a big disaster for a nomadic barbarian?

King Shen knows this very well, and naturally he also knows whose subordinate the assassin of King Heng is, as long as his third brother is not killed, he will kill others!

In any case, the crown prince will not succeed. From the time he failed to assassinate King Heng for the first time, he had already lost.

But King Shen has already received the prince's secret letter in his hand, if he pretends not to know at this time, sits on the mountain and watches the tiger, once one day the โ–กโ–ก confesses to him, it will attract the suspicion of his father and the third brother, it is better to have a secret Chen Cang, secretly hand over the secret letter to King Heng, help him, and in the future, he will be cleared of the suspicion that he is the prince's party.

Although the queen raised King Shen, King Shen didn't know who killed his biological mother, the young and beautiful Concubine Ru, back then.

As an orphan who lost his biological mother since he was a child, it is impossible for him to be without hatred in his heart.

~~

At dawn in the east, the holy decree from the Qinzheng Temple arrived in the western suburbs of the capital.

After receiving the will, Qin Yuan was sure in his heart, and calmly arched his hand to King Rui, "Lord Wang, the matter has come to this, stubborn resistance is just in vain, I hope you will think of your family, and the father-son relationship with the emperor, and follow the officials into the palace." โ€

There is no reason to refuse, King Rui has thought clearly just now, his people are not able to withstand the soldiers and horses in front of him, not to mention that the prince has lost now, the prince is to blame no matter what, but he still has a wife and children, if he explains to his father that he is just bewitched, his father should be merciful, as long as he does not come hard, then the tiger poison will not eat the child.

Thinking of this, King Rui made a heavy decision to change his fate, that is, he obediently tied his hands and followed Qin Yuan into the palace.

~~

In King Heng's Mansion, Chu Xue had been sitting all night. Since yesterday afternoon, she has not seen Song Chen, Song Chen sent someone to send a message to her, saying that she would not come at night if she had something important, let her rest well, but how could she sleep, the eight hundred soldiers of the palace have been ready to go since last night, even if they are fools, they also know that something big has happened.

Although she was born in Jiangmen, she has never seen the battlefield, she was ignorant when she was young, and she only felt happy when she saw her father return triumphantly, but she couldn't understand the worry of her mother sitting alone at night.

Now she has personally experienced the feeling of being unable to sleep all night, which is even more difficult than the night when she was assassinated in Luzhou in the past, because at that time it was only about her and Song Chen's safety, but now it involves too many people, including her parents. If Song Chen is defeated, not only will he die, but his father will not have a good result, she knows.

Seeing that the sky was already bright, and it was almost the end of the hour, and there was still no news of him, her heart became tighter and tighter. Suddenly, I saw a little maid running in in a hurry, and said happily: "Madam, the prince is back!" โ€

She stood up suddenly and asked urgently, "Is the prince okay?" โ€

"Uh-huh!" The little maid nodded hurriedly, "The prince is fine, don't worry, madam!" โ€

She was finally overjoyed, and walked out of the room to meet her man.

As soon as Song Chen entered the backyard, he saw her running over in a hurry, her clothes were still the same as yesterday, she looked like she hadn't slept all night, but when she saw him, her face was full of joy, and he knew that she was worried about him.

He strode forward and embraced the beauty into his arms.

"I'm back, it's fine, don't worry."

Yes, a qiฤ“ is good, and a qiฤ“ has been settled.

She nodded in his arms, smiling, tears wetting his shirt.
