Chapter 18: Prince You

I didn't expect that the turmoil that Su Jing was worried about would come soon.

On the morning of the seventh day of Su Jing's stay, although Xiuxinyuan was in the deepest part of the palace, I still heard the turmoil from outside the imperial city, the palace maids and eunuchs were like ants that could receive special signals, and they were inexplicably frightened, Su Jing and I were sitting in a room with a bright window like two hypocritical little white-collar workers and drinking tea, although the scratching sound outside was not loud, but Su Jing still stood up: "Li'er, what's going on outside?" ”

Li'er and Ruoxi ran in in a panic, and as soon as the fast-talking Li'er entered the door, she said, "Oh no, the palace is surrounded!" ”

Su Jing and I glanced at each other, and Su Jing asked unhurriedly, "Is Ma Jiyue back?" ”

Li'er said: "No, it's Prince You, he brought 30,000 soldiers from the guard battalion outside the imperial city into the palace!" ”

Su Jing said: "What's going on, say it slowly." ”

Li'er said: "Prince You said that he wanted to avenge His Majesty the Emperor, and it was difficult for Yasukuni." ”

Su Jing said: "But Ma Jiyue is not dead yet. ”

Ruoxi said on the side: "Obviously, Prince You mobilized the garrison camp under the banner of revenge for Long Life, and his purpose is to establish himself as the king. ”

Su Jing nodded and said: "This makes sense, but it doesn't make sense, Ma Jiyue's escape from the palace is known to the world, and the soldiers of the garrison camp are so easy to deceive?" ”

Ruoxi said: "Su Jianshen doesn't know, the garrison battalion has always been the royal lineage, the former commander of the army was the emperor's most favored general Qin Yiwu, after General Qin's Eastern Expedition, the military power was taken by the four major divisions in turn, and now long live and the four national divisions have left Xinjing, and most of the high-level generals in the army are Prince You's people, he raised his arms at this time, these people naturally want to follow him and take risks, in case of success, this is an immortal miracle, as for whether the emperor is dead or alive It doesn't matter. ”

I was surprised: "How do you know so much about the inside of the royal family?" ”

Ruoxi said: "It's all obvious things, just think about it a little." ”

Su Jing said: "Prince You's rebellion is only aimed at Ma Jiyue and us, what are you panicking about?" ”

Li'er said: "Sister doesn't know, Prince You claims that someone in the palace conspired with you to murder the emperor, how much of a crime is this?" Once he is called, our surnames are not guaranteed, and I am afraid that we will have to connect the nine clans. ”

Ruoxi said: "He said this to convince the people and appear justified, but he would kill countless of us with a casual word." ”

I said casually, "Then don't let him in." ”

Li'er covered her mouth and said, "He has 30,000 soldiers and horses!" ”

Su Jing smiled: "If 30,000 soldiers and horses can scare us off, we don't have to come to Hejis." ”

I said very Su Jing: "This Prince Yu is bound to be in chaos as soon as he is called Emperor Hejis, this should be a good thing for our Federation Continent, right?" ”

Su Jing said: "The most important thing now is who is in the hands of the military power, if Prince You can control the military power and agree to withdraw from the army, it would be best, but I'm afraid the situation will not be so simple, in short, we will meet him first." ”

Su Jing and I came to the outside of the Jianji Palace, where there was a big chaos, the eunuchs were running back and forth, the palace maids were crying and shouting, the guards were quite calm under the command of the captain, and some of them stood on the city wall, their knives out of their sheaths and bows on the strings and stared nervously at the city.

The captain shouted to the eunuchs with a straight face: "What are you crying for, it's the men who have taken up arms for me to prepare for battle!" ”

His words poked at the sore spot of the eunuchs, and the people said with a bitter face: "We are no longer men......

I watched it interestingly: "Do you need to make such a big move?" ”

The captain stretched out his hand and pointed to the city: "You better see for yourself." ”

Su Jingshan and I looked down at the city, and saw that the army below was densely packed, and they had crossed the moat and lined up under the city gate, which at first glance could not be described as imposing, but compared to the situation on the border of the Black Forest, it was obviously a drop in the shadows.

I pouted and said, "It doesn't seem like it's enough for 30,000 people." ”

The captain said: "The others are scattered in the other three gates of the palace, here is Prince You's personal troops and 15,000 soldiers of the garrison battalion, we only have less than 2,000 people here, once the other party makes a move, the imperial city can be broken in an instant, the reason why Prince You didn't give the order immediately is probably because he is concerned about the integrity of the palace, so that he can ascend the throne with dignity." ”

I said, "In that case, what are you going to fight, why don't you just let people in?" ”

The captain said angrily: "Our duty is to defend the imperial city, except for the emperor, no one wants to get involved!" ”

At this time, a eunuch screamed: "The Empress Dowager has arrived-"

The captain was shocked when he saw it, except for the guards who were guarding the city, he took the rest of the people to kneel down together, and the captain said: "The slave knocks on the imperial concubine, it is dangerous here, and please ask the imperial concubine to avoid it for the time being." ”

The eunuchs flashed to the sides, and gave way to an old woman with a sharp face, she glanced down, and said arrogantly: "I'll avoid a fart for the time being, who can you stop with a few of you?" ”

The captain blushed and said, "The minions are terrified! ”

The Empress Dowager said: "According to me, Ma Jiyue is dead, you should open the city gate to welcome the new emperor." ”

The captain said movingly: "The Empress Dowager's words are wrong, long live he is just a private visit, and the servants must not let others desecrate the holy place before he returns to the palace!" ”

The Empress Dowager said angrily: "You dare to contradict me? ”

The captain of the "minion capital crime" buried his head in the ground, but it was clear that he would not back down.

The Empress Dowager changed her expression and said leisurely: "Even if your emperor is not dead, Prince You is also a member of the royal family, you let him in, what is there to say about the family?" What kind of system is this huge imperial city controlled by two foreign races? Prince You, he led heavy troops to make it difficult for the country, which was also a good intention. ”

The captain knelt down and said: "The stakes are so high, the minions don't dare to call the shots!" ”

Father-in-law Jin rushed over in a panic, and when he saw this posture, he didn't dare to come out, so he quietly hid behind me, and I asked him: "Why does this princess not help her grandson but help others?" Isn't she afraid that she will be connected after the city is broken? ”

Gonggong Jin said hesitantly: "The grandson is not his own grandson, but this Prince You is her own son." ”

I suddenly sighed: "The royal struggle is really messy." ”

Su Jing said: "Prince You's mutiny, I'm afraid it's still a letter sent secretly by this old lady." ”

I nodded, "Eighty percent so." ”

Seeing that the captain refused to comply, the imperial concubine said with a sinking face: "Zhang Benchu, let me ask you, who has the final say in the palace now?" ”

The captain said: "Long live the Lord is not here, naturally it is the Empress Dowager and you who have the final say." ”

"Okay, then I ordered you to open the city gate, do you listen?"

The captain said without hesitation: "Where the duty lies, the slave does not dare to obey his fate!" ”

The Empress Dowager said angrily: "Then you are openly disobedient?" You have been derelict in letting that person with the surname Su and Shi invade the palace before, and now you are disobeying my orders, what is the use of asking such a disloyal and unrighteous slave like you? ”

The captain was shocked and said, "Is it unfaithful and unjust? ”

The Empress Dowager said sternly: "Isn't it? ”

The captain smiled bitterly: "You are right, the slave first has a failure to perform his duties, and then disobeys the order, it is indeed disloyal and unjust, since the imperial concubine insists on asking the slave to open the city gate, the slave can only die with his will!" Saying that, he pulled out the knife and wiped it on his neck, and suddenly, the guards exclaimed together, but no one had time to stop it, Su Jing's body flashed behind the captain, and a little on the elbow where he held the knife, the captain's knife fell to the ground, I walked over and smiled: "We have seen five sides in total, and you are wiping your neck twice, do you think you are a suicide professional?" ”

The captain glared at me angrily: "Anyway, my life is not mine for a long time, what does it matter if I die early or later?" ”

"Then you don't want to think about what happens to the rest of the palace when you die?"

"This ......" The captain was speechless, of course he understood what the result would be after Prince Yu entered the city, but the situation was pressing him step by step.

I came to the Empress Dowager with a smile and said slowly: "Old lady, you have a wrong sentence, and now it is not you who has the final say, but me!" ”

The Empress Dowager said angrily: "Who are you? ”

A eunuch whispered in her ear: "This is the sword god of the Honglie Empire, Shi Dizai, and the woman next to her is Su Jing!" ”

The Empress Dowager turned to the captain and said, "The enemy is right in front of you, why don't you kill them?" ”

The captain Suo stood up and said lukewarmly: "The slave can't do anything. ”

"You ......" The Empress Dowager was angry for a while, and then pointed at my nose and said, "My son's 30,000 elite soldiers are just outside the city, and I will ask him to break your body into ten thousand pieces in a while!" ”

I couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm so afraid of your 30,000 elite soldiers, aren't your 2 million horses in Hegis still being driven to pieces by me like pigs?" ”

The imperial concubine said: "You have a hard mouth now, and it will make you look good!" ”

I said, "Don't wait a while, we're going to reunite your mother and son." Su Jing and I climbed to the top of the city again, I looked down at the city, and said loudly: "Who is Prince You, come out and speak!" ”

Under a big flag, a man in a black robe rode out of the horse, pointed at the city with a halberd and said, "Are you Stitchai?" This king counts to three limits, you can decide by yourself, otherwise this king will ...... you" I made a look at Su Jing, Su Jing's body fluttered down from the city, she waved her palm to repel Prince You's personal soldiers, and lifted his neck and collar in mid-air to take him to the city, this time the rabbit fell and fell, and when everyone saw the situation clearly, Prince You had been thrown on the city by Su Jing like a chicken...... I looked at Prince You and shook his head again and again: "Inexperienced, inexperienced, Tailang and Qin Yiwu have millions of troops, and they are still afraid that the turtle will be exposed, and you dare to play tricks with only 30,000 people?" ”

Su Jing said with a smile: "This is the difference between a field army and a young master soldier. ”

Prince You's eyes widened at us, and he couldn't even say a word.

I waved at the city and said, "It's all gone." ”

Prince You's people looked at each other, they didn't know what to do, and it seemed that they wanted to make a last stand.

I said to Prince You: "I'm not using you to threaten them, we don't want to kill more, if you don't believe me, let you go back, let's fight again, but we don't care if you live or die." ”

Prince You thought about it, hung his head and said, "That's it, I'm defeated." He turned to the city and shouted, "Listen to the king's command, and immediately retreat outside the city, and no one shall enter the city without an order." ”

30,000 horses retreated in an uproar.

Prince You came to the Empress Dowager with weak legs, and said in frustration: "Mother, the child is incompetent......"

The wrinkles on the face of the Empress Dowager piled on her chin like a sponge of water, and she asked in a trembling voice, "You ...... What are you going to do with our mother and son? ”

I smiled and said: "According to the logic that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, we should be allies, in fact, we are not against you being the emperor, but you have to do one thing after the emperor." ”

Prince You said, "Please speak." ”

"Withdraw all your soldiers and horses of Hajis, and promise not to invade the Federation Continent in the future."

Prince You said incredulously: "That's it? ”

"Yes, that's it, as long as you can do it, we'll let you go."

Prince Yu immediately agreed without a word: "I will definitely do it!" ”
