In the deep night, the sound of killing suddenly rang out, waking countless Chang'an people from their sleep. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Except for a very small number of people who already know the inside story and those who are keen-eyed, the vast majority of the people are completely unaware of what is going on, and they are at a loss. In particular, Zhulifang in the south of Daming Palace is a place where dignitaries gather, and they are all high-ranking officials and nobles in three-grade clothes. They almost instinctively thought of words such as "forcing the palace" and "plotting rebellion", and they couldn't help but be anxious and frightened.

Not to mention who it was, who dared to take advantage of the emptiness of Chang'an City's defense to force the palace to rebel - the saint is far away in Taiyuan Mansion, what is the use of "forcing the palace"? What is the benefit of "rebellion"?

If the name is not right, not to mention, if the king of Yong'an County and the Duke of Jian Guo lead the elite soldiers to kill back, how many soldiers and horses will be needed to defend the huge Chang'an City? Or, this person had already colluded with the king of Hejian County, and his plans were so great that he had no fear of hundreds of thousands of troops thousands of miles away? After all, the army is fending off foreign enemies and counterinsurgency, and it is not sure if it will be able to come back......

Under the urgent orders of the masters, the servants climbed the walls of their homes one after another, probing their heads to watch. From a distance, I saw bursts of fire flying outside the wall, and the rain of arrows densely streaked across the night sky, followed by screams and cries of pain, and the thick smell of blood seemed to be heard from hundreds of feet away. People who had never experienced such a scene were stunned.

When they finally reacted, they heard the martial marquis shouting along the street while beating the gong: "The king of Jiangxia County has kidnapped the king of Qi to rebel, intending to attack Daming Palace!" After the conspiracy was revealed, he killed and injured the king of Qi and was about to escape from Chang'an!! At very moments, the curfew is strict! Tomorrow, the whole city will be on alert to search for the remnants of rebellion! No one is allowed to go out and walk on the streets, otherwise they will be regarded as a rebel!! Kill according to the sin!! ”

Zhulifang fell silent, only Wuhou's voice echoed over and over again. The shouts of killing were sometimes near and far away, and the screams were endless, and the battle was obviously extremely fierce. Many people temporarily led the whole family to worship the Buddha and burn incense, praying for the blessing of the Buddha, and the disaster of blood and light should not implicate their own families. There were even those who secretly wondered who had prevented the Jiangxia King from plotting against him—and to this day, they still had a hard time believing that the pale and weak young King of the County was so ambitious—and he looked almost no threat compared to the King of the River.

Under the pursuit of the imposing imperial court generals, the panicked King of Jiangxia County couldn't care about anything else after all, and instinctively fled to the back road he had arranged for him. Not long after, Li Hui listened to the report of the heralds: "Chunming Gate! The king ran against him and went to Chunming Gate!! Chunming Gate is the east gate of Chang'an City, and outside the door is the Baqiao and farewell pavilion and post house, which can be said to be one of the most important gateways of Chang'an City.

His expression couldn't help but condense slightly: he didn't expect that such an important portal would be unknowingly controlled by the King of Jiangxia. If these people rebelled when the war was raging to attack and defend Chang'an City, it was undoubtedly very likely to bring a fatal blow to the imperial soldiers. Moreover, this also made him think a little more - in addition to the Chunming Gate, are there other city gates that have been controlled by the King of Jiangxia and his subordinates? All rebels must be uprooted from the capital!

So, he immediately decided: "Let's see if the Chunming Gate will be opened." Once opened, immediately seize the military attaché of the city gate and all the soldiers! If anyone disobeys, he will be punished as a crime of treason, and he will be killed immediately!! Try to drive the thieves and keep going, and see which gate they can go to!! If they have nowhere to go, the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and is in a hurry, let them out of Beijing first! ”

If the King of Jiangxia didn't care about fighting on his back, his well-trained troops would most likely have caused heavy casualties to the Sixteen Guards. It is better to let them out of Chang'an first, continue to defend with the help of the city wall, wait for the Duke of Eguo to return to help the siege, and win the victory at the minimum cost. Otherwise, there will be a huge difference in the combat experience of the soldiers, and the victory or defeat may be reversed after a long time of short combat. Moreover, Chang'an is, after all, the capital city with a population of one million, and it is very easy to implicate innocents in fighting in the city, causing turmoil in people's hearts and inconvenient to appease.

There were bursts of killing, and the two sides fought bloodied near the Chunming Gate. The rebels led by the king of Jiangxia had to attack the soldiers guarding the city gates, and then they were on guard against the pursuers, and in a short time hundreds of people fell in the rain of arrows. At this moment, the dozens of soldiers who were guarding the city gate were finally killed by them, and the heavy city gate was suddenly opened inch by inch.

The eyes of the king of Jiangxia County immediately lit up, and he shouted: "Sons! Rush out!! ”

However, in the next moment, the pursuers rained arrows and firmly suppressed the rebels who were about to open the city gates. There are also many fierce troops who are not afraid of death, rushing forward, wielding knives and slashing, forcing the rebels back alive. The heavy gates of the city slammed shut, and in an instant, all the hope of life turned into the despair of death.

King Jiangxia's eyes were red, and he looked back viciously and glanced at Li Hui. If his gaze could be turned into substance, I am afraid that the king of Xin'an County would already be full of sharp arrows. However, Li Hui was still as calm as ever, drawing a bow and shooting arrows, and once again shooting directly at the only target that was tightly protected by his cronies!!

The arrow almost pierced the shoulder blade of the Jiangxia County King, causing him to almost fall off his horse in pain. If it weren't for the cronies around him to support him, I'm afraid he would be trampled into mud by a frightened horse in the next moment!!

"Let's go!!" The king of Jiangxia immediately turned his horse and left, without any nostalgia.

The rebels who surrounded him fought and marched, methodically detached from the battlefield and retreated to the south. Li Hui ordered the cavalry to continue the pursuit, while the infantry stayed for the time being to clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, and tie up the prisoners of war.

Li Hui glanced around, sighed in his heart, and after encouraging everyone a few words, he rushed over with the rest of the infantry. At this time, Princess Changning also followed the horse and said softly: "The imperial doctor of the Shang Pharmacy rescued him, and finally hung his life. As long as you can survive a day and a night, you will wake up. ”

"Yue Niang, it's not your fault. If he makes the wrong choice, he must be held responsible, and that's it. ”

“…… Don't worry, brother, I'm just a little emotional. In any case, he is also my brother. I vividly remember what kind of hope my grandfather had for him when I was young. Later, he gradually grew crooked, and Grandpa was so disappointed. Now it seems that he is not stupid to the core, and there is still a little bit to be saved. ”

Li Hui was silent for a moment: "Although I have ordered Marquis Wu to declare, the king of Jiangxia County has kidnapped the king of Qi to rebel. But you and I are very clear about the facts. No one can say for sure whether the resentment and ambition in King Qi's heart will be chaotic in the future. Therefore, the reason for this matter must be known to the uncle and uncle. ”

"......" Princess Changning nodded slightly, "I understand Brother's concerns." For the consideration of the brother in the mother's womb, this is the most suitable. "Otherwise, they wouldn't have known that King Qi was secretly in close contact with the King of Jiangxia County, but they were always just silently watching and didn't interfere for half a minute.

In fact, she may not be without apprehension in her heart - what if Ah Niang's womb is not a brother, but a sister? As A-Niang gets older, can she still give birth to a prince? If you have to adopt a concubine as a concubine, how bloody will it be in the future? And these in case, as long as King Qi commits an unforgivable mistake, everything will be solved. After all, the King of Shu does not have the courage to compete for the throne, and the identity of the fourth prince is embarrassing, no matter who gives birth to the fifth prince, he will become A-Niang's child.

When the two cousins arrived at the next city gate, Yanxing Gate, the battle was raging. Li Hui looked at the uncontrollable appearance of the king of Jiangxia County from afar, and made a gesture to let them go. Sure enough, seeing the city gate slowly opening, the king of Jiangxia County hurriedly fled with the rebels. The soldiers of the imperial court climbed the city wall and shot a rain of arrows, leaving behind the corpses of hundreds of rebels, and Fang quietly watched them camp about twenty miles away from Chang'an City.

At this time, it was already dark, Li Hui signaled the soldiers to light a beacon fire near Qujiangchi, and began to help Qin An, King Jing and other elders clean up the remnants of the king of Jiangxia. Needless to say, the military attaches of Chunmingmen and Yanxingmen were all detained and tortured, and the remaining generals of Jin Wuwei have also been arrested, and the martial marquis involved in the incident have all been imprisoned. In addition, who helped take in the subordinates of the king of Jiangxia County, there are also neighbors to testify, and they are all judged to be rebellious.

The prisons in Dali Temple and the Criminal Department were overcrowded, and King Jing took the initiative to contribute a separate courtyard for the detention of female dependents. Under the urging and supervision of Qin An, the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department and the Yushitai Division, this major case of conspiracy was quickly tried, and more criminals involved in the case were arrested.

Among them, because of the "tonic medicine", many female dependents of high-ranking officials and families were involved, and the Du family was no exception. However, the king and princess of Xin'an County did not say anything to intercede, and other high-ranking officials did not dare to say more. At this time, there were various news such as medical weakness and miscarriage, and for a while, no one dared to use any more "tonics". Yuan Sixteen Niang, who was admired by everyone before, has also become an enemy that everyone can't wait to get rid of at this time.

Jingzhong was busy for a whole day and night, and the king of Jiangxia outside Beijing was not idle, but looted all the grain and grass in the nearby villages. The people regarded them as robbers, and when they heard the news, they fled with their families and fled to the depths of the Nanshan for refuge. They originally wanted to forcibly recruit strong men to replenish the soldiers and horses, but they were faced with empty Zhuangzi. And many wealthy manors near Nanshan and Lishan also took in many homeless villagers. The tribes were heavily defended, but anyone who approached for no reason was shot and killed.

Of course, it was impossible for the king of Jiangxia to compromise his training for many years in order to forcibly recruit new soldiers, so he had to retreat to the camp and make another plan. At this time, he finally waited for more than 1,000 people to come to support. The thought of thousands of other soldiers on the way, about to rendezvous outside the capital, he could not help but lift his spirits—and at last he had the leisure to retract the various dark lines he had arranged earlier, and not to forget to resort to the divisive scheme.

"You all say that I am a rebel, is it possible that you really don't want to know what King Jing has done?"

"I really don't want to know, what is the secret plan of the king of Xin'an?"

"Tsk, I have found a lot of good news recently, and I want to share it with the princes of the DPRK and China."
