The death of the queen and the three princes was blocked by the palace, at this time inside and outside the palace, the whole city is talking about the canonization of the prince, the eldest prince was established as the prince, there are surprises, sure enough, there are also those who are so, of course, the most popular and lively places are the teahouses and wine shops in the imperial capital, and the storytellers are spitting and talking about the great achievements of the great prince who is making up or doing something.

Before noon, an inconspicuous little official in the palace went out of the palace with the waist card of the imperial dining room, and after turning around the street, he quietly went to the back door of the Protector's Mansion, handed over a secret letter to the housekeeper who came in a hurry, and left quietly.
No one knows what is said in the secret letter, except for the protector and the prince.
Only before the city gate was closed, when the sun went down, several carriages blocked by thick curtains went out of the east city gate, and the direction was Huai County in the suburbs.
On the third day, the Protector Mansion came to report the illness of the Protector Jin Shichang and the prince Jin Meng at the same time, the emperor and the ministers did not care, and the Protector did not succeed, and it was reasonable for him to be sick. Some people even thought in their hearts that if the Protector was really a discerning person, he should not be sick from now on, and give the emperor a farewell to his hometown, maybe he could live decently, and the Protector's Mansion could continue to survive.
After all, the emperor can still remember the affection of his uncle's family and the Yue family, if he waits for the new emperor to ascend the throne, it will be uncertain.
On this day, it is also the day when the eldest prince Liu Sheng was officially canonized as the crown prince, although the canonization ceremony is solemn but cumbersome, and so the ceremony is over, everyone is tired, but tired and tired, but they are very excited, and the people of the imperial capital are also like being beaten with chicken blood, and they have poured out of their homes to celebrate.
As soon as the emperor was pleased, he rewarded him greatly, and even the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate were given wine.
When night came, the somewhat drunk officers and soldiers of the garrison snuggled up to the city wall and fell asleep, completely oblivious to the sound of horses' hooves that were getting closer, although disguised but still shaking the earth slightly.
On a starless and moonless night, all conspiracies are hidden in the dark, and this is a night suitable for sneak attacks and assassinations.
Jin Shichang was very calm, Jin Meng was very excited, they were surrounded by nearly 50,000 officers and soldiers, and took advantage of the darkness to cover up and kill the imperial capital.
These nearly 50,000 officers and soldiers are the guards stationed in Huai County, which can be said to be the outer city guards of the imperial capital, the second barrier.
Jin Shichang can move these officers and soldiers, because this team is already in his hands, and Fan Buming, the commander of the light car, is the general of this army, and he is also his son-in-law of Jin Shichang. Back then, as his protector and uncle, even if he married a concubine, he was greatly undermarried, and what he liked was the military power in Fan Buming's hands.
This is the way he left for himself and the Jin family, unless he has to, he will not use it, now the emperor has a murderous intention, he Jin Shichang is not easy to provoke, what kind of nephew and uncle, the friendship of Weng and son-in-law, is not worth mentioning in front of power, today he will kill the king, behead the traitorous minister, and avenge his daughter and grandson.
He, Jin Shichang, also wants to taste the taste of sitting on the dragon chair.
Under the cover of night, the war horses wrapped in cloth soon approached the east city gate, so that everyone was glad that they had not been discovered by the officers and soldiers defending the city when they arrived in the city, and now as long as they were caught off guard, they captured the east gate as quickly as possible, and approached the palace, their great cause could be accomplished.
Moreover, there are their inner contents in the city and in the gates.
Things went unexpectedly smoothly, Fan Buming waved his hand, and the army behind him immediately stopped, according to the pre-arranged arrangement into a formation, Jin Miao shot a purple firework into the air, this firework is a signal, a signal to inform the city of internal action.
As the fireworks burst into brilliant light in the air, countless lanterns suddenly lit up above the city gate, and suddenly illuminated the city and the city.
This sudden change made everyone stunned, and they were stunned to see a straight figure standing on the city gate, at this time with a smile on his beautiful face, he said to Jin Shichang afar: "I learned that the Protector returned to the city today, and Shu has been waiting here for a long time." ”
Jin Shichang's heart sank, why is Shu Jiaqi here? How did he know what he was scheming for?
"Shu Jiaqi, it's just right that you're here, lest grandpa look for you everywhere and not come down to die." Jin Luo didn't have as many thoughts as his father, he had already been carried away by the most honorable person in the world, in his opinion, anyway, he had to do a big job, with so many people on his own, he couldn't beat the Imperial Forest Army of less than 10,000?
"Brother Jin, what's the hurry, Shu still has a gift for Grandpa Guo." After Shu Jiaqi finished speaking, he shouted to the back: "Bring it up." ”
As the words fell, several soldiers escorted the embarrassed two men to the outer wall of the city gate, pulled them by the hair, and forced them to raise their heads.
The light shone on the faces of the two people, so that the people below could clearly see what they looked like.
The muscles of Jin Shichang's cheeks were twisted, and his teeth were clenched, these two people were not the inner response hidden among the officers and soldiers guarding the city, they were originally scheduled to take advantage of the chaos to open the city gate tonight and let the soldiers who were attacking the city enter the city, but now they fell into the hands of Shu Jiaqi, how did they expose it? What's wrong with this?
"Chop." Shu Jiaqi smiled and watched the faces of the Jin family's father and son change suddenly, and ordered coldly in his mouth.
Before Jin Shichang could figure it out, with the flash of the knife, two heads with ragged rags in their mouths and round eyes fell from the city wall, and rolled in front of everyone's horses, making all the horses take a step back in shock.
Jin Shichang's face was fierce, and he gritted his teeth and roared: "Siege." ”
There was silence around. Jin Shichang looked back in surprise, the ten thousand arrows he expected did not appear, and the warriors he expected to climb the ladder and siege the city did not appear, only a sword across his neck appeared.
He turned his head and looked at Fan Buming, who had a cold sword across his neck, he didn't see the retreat, dodge, or even shame that he should have, he only saw that the man's face was calm, and he said calmly: "Father-in-law, please understand, my Fan family can't accompany my father-in-law on a road of no return, and neither can these 50,000 soldiers." ”
"You...... You ......" Jin Shichang was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"General Fan is wise, and he also asked General Fan to escort the rebel into the palace with Shu."
The evidence of Jin Shichang's rebellion was conclusive, and he was soon sentenced to a family raider, and it is said that the rebellion should be punished by the nine clans, and the emperor was gracious, only one of his families, and he was not too widely implicated.
At the same time, there was also news in the palace that Queen Jin and the third prince Liu Qi were ashamed of their defeat and committed suicide by drinking poison.
It is said that Jin Shichang was shouting to see the emperor when he was dying, I don't know whether he wanted to intercede, or regretted and felt guilty and wanted to ask for the emperor's forgiveness, but the emperor did not see him.
So he didn't know until he died, he was put on a show by the emperor, and the emperor didn't want to leave Liu Sheng with trouble, so he deliberately let people reveal the news and force him to take the step of rebellion, just to find an excuse to kill him and destroy the Jin family.
What he didn't know was that with his loss of power, his good son-in-law had switched to the emperor's banner and sent him to hell with his own hands. (To be continued.) )
