Chapter 43: Quelling the Rebellion
The two didn't even bother to eat dinner, and discussed until midnight.
For five consecutive days, the queen said that she had been living in Fengyuan Palace, and even the court meeting was no longer held, but fortunately, the people of Chimelong had always been stable and had nothing else to do.
At noon five days later, Shi Wenyuan broke into Fengyuan Palace dressed in clothes.
Fengyuan Palace Mingyan's bedroom door used to be hung with bead curtains, but that day it was replaced by a purple silk curtain, which was shaken by Shi Wenyuan's big hand.
He found that Minglang was there.
Minglang stood up and shouted, "Bold! The queen's dormitory, how can you come and go at will? Wearing a knife like this, you want to rebel? ”
Shi Wenyuan was full of murderous anger, laughed wildly, and said, "The prince is right, I am about to rebel!" It's all there! Very well, lest I come to you again. He turned to Mingyan, "Say, what is your reply?" ”
Ming Yan's face turned pale, his eyes were round, and he pointed at Shi Wenyuan and scolded: "Shi Wenyuan, you committed the murder of the monarch and plotted to usurp the throne, I have nothing to do with you anymore!" ”
Shi Wenyuan didn't speak anymore, and threw the cup on the table suddenly, and there was a loud bang.
Countless soldiers jumped in from the doors and windows, and surrounded Mingyan's mother and son and a maid.
Ming Yan trembled, Ming Lang stretched out his hand to protect Ming Yan and Yan Ran, and glared at Shi Wenyuan without fear. "Your plan to usurp the throne began when I returned to the court last year, right? The three assassinations of Luming River, Qingluo Town, and Luo Dingshan were all instructed by you? ”
Shi Wenyuan laughed wildly, his face turned red, and said, "You are very fateful, and you have dragged it on until today." But today, your life is over, your imperial city, your Chimelong world, are all mine! ”
Minglang scolded fiercely: "Traitor, you are dreaming!" I, the Xuanyuan clan, will never let you go! ”
Yan Ran suddenly interjected: "General Shi, you are blushing!" ”
Shi Wenyuan was stunned, and said: "Don't talk nonsense, sons and daughters ......" The words "hands-on" have reached his lips, but he suddenly felt that his lips were stiff and his tongue was sluggish, and he couldn't say those two words anymore, and gradually his eyes were hollow, his limbs were stiff, and he stood in place stupidly.
Those soldiers were waiting for his order, but they couldn't wait for the second half of the sentence, and they couldn't figure it out for a while, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know which one General Shi is playing.
Minglang immediately took a step forward and shouted, "Put down your weapons!" This is the Queen's Palace, do you want to commit the crime of destroying the door? ”
Some of the soldiers were visibly panicked. The majesty of the king in Minglang made them fearful. But seeing that General Shi was still standing, he didn't dare to violate the previous agreement, so he hesitated for a while.
At this moment, there was a "boom" outside the hall, and a strict army surrounded Fengyuan Palace, and the sound of horses' hooves overturned the sea. Feng Zhan, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, led hundreds of people to rush into Fengyuan Palace, shouting: "Put down your weapons, don't blame the past!" ”
He had already mobilized 10,000 soldiers to defend the city in accordance with the arrangements made in advance.
The soldiers who surrounded Mingyan and Minglang saw that their leader, Shi Wenyuan, was still looking stupid, and then they realized that he had already fallen into the Tao. The general trend is gone, and it is important to save your life. One by one, they threw away their weapons and squatted down with their heads in their hands.
Ming Yan finally let go in one breath, and suddenly staggered, and Ming Lang hugged her.
Yanran breathed a sigh of relief.
That **** actually found a ruthless flower in the medicine garden. After picking it, it was crumpled into juice, and some ingredients were added, dyed on silk and made into a curtain. When Shi Wenyuan came in, he lifted the curtain with his hand, and it was already stained with the powder of the ruthless flower, and finally landed.
Two days ago, Feng Zhan got the news that Luofengpo had stationed 60,000 troops overnight. At that time, Yan Ran and he had already made preparations in Fengyuan Palace.
Mingyan participated in the entire planning process, but when he saw Shi Wenyuan rebelling with his own eyes, he still couldn't resist the grief and sadness in his heart and fainted. Ming Lang sent her to his Zhong Cui Palace, and strictly ordered the Imperial Forest Army to guard the palace.
After preliminary interrogation, the leader of the soldiers who followed Shi Wenyuan's rebellion said that the code they agreed on was that once the queen and the crown prince were killed, Shi Wenyuan would set off signal flares, and the 60,000 troops outside Huangzhou would enter the city when they saw the signal and wipe out all the royalist forces.
Minglang immediately cut off Shi Wenyuan's head, jumped on horseback, and ran to Luofengpo with Yanran and Feng Zhan. Yan Ran followed the sword to pick up the book. Two days ago, Yanran specially brought them into the palace, just to have more strength after the incident. The secret weapon kung fu of the two children should not be underestimated.
Compared with Shi Wenyuan, these 60,000 troops are more dangerous, and if they are not handled properly, they will inevitably cause military disasters.
Before the Fengyuan Palace Incident, in the camp of Luofengpo, 60,000 soldiers were divided into two camps, and they were drawing their swords against each other, and the infighting was about to break out.
Early that morning, at the urging of the deputy generals Dong Xiao and Cui Huai, the 60,000 army pulled out the camp and prepared to go to Huangzhou.
This army was usually stationed in Qingyuan City, a hundred miles away from the capital, and it was driven for two consecutive days in the past two days, and no one told the sergeants where they were going and what they were doing. The sergeants, who were usually idle, complained.
A soldier dismantled the tent and complained: "Now in the time of peace, there is no war, and for two days in a row we hurriedly pulled out the camp and hurried away, what is this toss?" ”
Another soldier said, "Zhao Ping, close your beak and hurry up to work!" Gently leaned into Zhao Ping's ear and whispered, "Don't you know that we are all around General Cui's eyes and ears?" Just whining! ”
Zhao Ping said angrily: "We belong to General Dong, what is he Cui Huai doing to listen to us, I'm afraid that he is a bird!" ”
Seeing that he could not persuade him, the man had to glare at him fiercely and ignore him again.
Zhao Ping was still scolding, and suddenly a fluttering voice came: "This is for us to 60,000 people to fill the road for him!" I heard the rumors, our General Shi is going to kill the crown prince and usurp the throne, this is to let General Dong and General Cui take us to the siege of Huangzhou! ”
All the soldiers who heard this voice were so shocked that they couldn't believe their ears. Does anyone really dare to kill the king and usurp the throne? And it's still their General Shi? The sergeants immediately put down their work and began to talk around them.
In the hearts of most people, "rebellion" is undoubtedly a great rebellion, a matter that has achieved a few people and sacrificed the majority, so everyone is worried about their own fate, and no one can maintain calm.
As soon as the news spread, it spread ten, ten, hundreds, and soon most of the 60,000 sergeants were alarmed, and the ranks were in an uproar, and many soldiers even packed their packages and prepared to run away from the limelight.
Dong Xiao and Cui Huai learned the information and rushed from the camp.
Dong Xiao has big eyes and a big mouth, and Cui Huai looks sick and weak. After the two scolded and questioned, the first person to reveal the news was soon confessed.
The man was white-skinned, his eyes were sharp, the corners of his mouth were upturned, and he looked like he didn't care about anything.
Dong Xiao pointed his spear at him and shouted, "Which battalion are you from?" Why the rumors? ”
Without waiting for this person to speak, a general walked out behind him, but it was the deputy general Jiao Zhu.
Jiao Zhu said coldly to Dong Xiao: "General Dong, why do you blame my subordinates? ”
