Chapter 51: Night Attack on the Palace
In the Jinluan side hall, the emperor was discussing the matter of sending troops with Wu Cheng, a veteran general of the three dynasties, and he had no idea about the movements outside the palace.
"The 10,000 soldiers and horses he led are not a big deal, no matter how elite it is, it can't withstand the torrent of our army, I'm afraid that the King of Words will really join forces with the Northern Desert, if this is the case, it will be a lot of trouble, I'm afraid it will be a protracted war."
After listening to Wu Cheng's words, the emperor's face became more and more gloomy: "General Wu, you have a great friendship with King Yu, and you have fought side by side several times, in your opinion, will there be a turning point in this matter?" ”
Wu Cheng knew that the emperor was soft-hearted, and in the face of this son who was six points jealous and four points proud, he was still entangled after all. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, General Wu did not fully believe in this matter, although the evidence was interlocking and consistent, he still vaguely felt that something was wrong. It's just that the granddaughter Wu Yuejun ran for Princess Yu, and the descendant of the famous soldier was willing to pull down his face to be a concubine, but he was openly rejected by the concubine, and this matter has always made the old general Wu angry. Hatred, however, was the most blind, and the unhappiness in his heart blinded him to the doubts that loomed in his mind.
He stroked his gray beard and pretended to think: "Although Weichen was shocked by this, it seems to be ...... from the piles and piles."
The emperor raised his hand, "Okay, okay, don't ask, I just don't have to raise this son of a!" ”
"The emperor takes care of the dragon's body." Wu Cheng sighed a little in his heart and was also a little proud, sighing that there was no one less wise and brave leader in Bei Xiao, and he was proud that he paid the price for his unkindness, if he had married his granddaughter as his wife, no matter what he said now, he would have pulled the king of language.
"You step back first, and tomorrow you will draw the battle map and then come to see me with the other generals of the three armies."
Wu Cheng made a gesture and slowly withdrew from the main hall. On the way out of the palace, he kept thinking of the demeanor and bearing of King Yu in the past, as well as the scene when he used to be side by side on horseback, facing the cold wind that was cold to his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
There was still the last corridor to reach the palace gate, but Wu Cheng stopped at this moment, because he clearly heard the sound of swords intersecting in front of him, along with the mixed whine. He was shocked, and secretly screamed that it was not good, and the vague doubts before seemed to explode in an instant.
"Someone! Come on! Several guards rushed in from outside, and loudly announced: "The prince has rebelled!" ”
With a bang, the two white jade walnuts that Wu Cheng was playing with fell to the ground in unison and rolled out more than a foot away. He trembled and took a few steps back, but fortunately his entourage helped him in time to prevent him from falling to the ground.
"General, how could the prince rebel? Who rebelled against him? What do we do now? ”
He looked at the entourage who asked the question in a daze, these questions were like a string of clues that made him wake up in an instant, it turned out to be like this!
"Hey!" Wu Cheng slapped his thigh heavily, extremely remorseful.
"It stands to reason that this is all outside the wall, and the generals of the three armies should know the movement and rush to the rescue, why didn't they see General Zhang and General Li coming to report? Check it out later! The attendant said and ran out.
Wu Cheng sat paralyzed on the ground, seeing from a distance that the night outside the palace gate was red by the firelight, and his heart was sad. When he came back to his senses, he staggered back, muttering as he ran, "Wrong, wrong! It's all wrong! ”
The crown prince and the three armies quickly broke through the four palace gates, and the palace guards were defenseless and were subdued almost without seeing the soldiers. The crown prince and his entourage went on a rampage, and in the blink of an eye, they forced into the emperor's bedroom.
"Son!" Emperor Long Yan was furious, but he couldn't help but tremble a little, seeing that the crown prince had co-opted the three major military camps, and the palace was surrounded inside and out, basically the general trend had gone.
"Your Majesty! We were wrong! This qiē is all a conspiracy of the crown prince! Wu Cheng said with tears and remorse.
The emperor has long been distracted, stunned, yes, every qiē is the prince is making trouble, and the rebellion of the king of Yu is out of nothing, this qiē is a big situation that the prince has already laid out! He took advantage of his psychology of always being afraid of the king of words, so that the scale in his heart that measured people's hearts was unbalanced, and he fell into the trap.
Squeak ...... The two-zhang high door of the main hall was pushed open by Youyou, and the prince appeared in front of the emperor with a shake of his dragon robe.
"Father, it's late at night, it's time for you to go back to the palace to rest." The prince got straight to the point, and his sinister smile filled the entire palace with a chill, "Let the rest of the twists and turns, let the sons and daughters do the work for them." ”
"You rebel!" The emperor stumbled down from the dragon chair, pointed at the tip of the prince's nose and scolded, "You, you dare to rebel!" Rebel against your father! ”
The crown prince deftly blocked his hand, went straight to the edge of the throne, and said condescendingly: "Throughout the ages, the royal family has always valued the monarch and the minister, and the father and son should understand this truth. ”
"I have already given you the position of crown prince, are you so impatient!"
"Prince?" He sneered a few times, "You gave me an empty crown prince, and at the same time gave the real power of the military and government to the third brother, let us fight with each other, you can sit and enjoy peace!" Over the years, you have always been calculating, ostensibly impartial, but in fact, you are deliberately creating a conflict of interest between me and the King of Words, so that we can contain each other and fight each other. How have you ever invested in father-son affection? ”
......The emperor was sad and angry, but he was speechless.
"Since you have been on guard every day, it is logical for the ministers to act today, otherwise wouldn't it have made my father worry in vain for so long?" The prince raised his head and laughed, very arrogant.
The emperor sat down on the wooden chair: "You are not afraid of being criticized by future generations if you force the palace like this?" And...... And if the King of Whispers knows what you are doing, he will not give up! ”
"Posterity? Future generations will only care whether there is a peaceful and prosperous era, and the change of throne is just a few idle words after dinner. As long as this king is a good emperor and beneficial to the people and the community, future generations will only regard my actions today as 'unyielding'. The prince casually picked up a few books and rolled his eyes, "As for the third brother...... Why did my father think the three armies would follow me around the palace? ”
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and his heart was half cold.
"This prince forced the palace today to rescue the framed King Yu from your father, even if he comes back one day, it is not good to ask his life-saving benefactor Xingshi!"
Wu Cheng was listening to the conversation between the father and son, and he had already sorted out the ins and outs in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel remorseful, if it weren't for his own selfish interests, he wouldn't have been so hasty and vague, and he wouldn't have made a big mistake. Blame yourself for being confused!
"Father, if the son's explanation is still satisfactory to you...... Just write the edict. The prince winked, and his entourage took the banknote and sent it to the emperor.
