Chapter 514: The Rebel Son
Qi Ziyu had long expected that Chu Ze would make this move, but he didn't expect it to be much earlier than he expected, it seemed that the emperor's critical illness made Chu Ze unable to wait any longer, and he had to act immediately, but he didn't have too many surprises when he received the order, holding another token, his heart moved slightly.
"Ziyu, but what do you think is wrong?" After Puji Temple and his party, Chu Ze did not have the estrangement of Qi Ziyu as Chu Yuan and others expected, but became a little closer, from knowing that the emperor was critically ill, to making a plan with the concubine, and preparing separately, until now, two days have passed.
The people who monitored Su Guogong came back from Xiaohan's side constantly passing the news, and Qi Ziyu didn't dare to delay reporting to Chu Ze for a while, just waiting for his decision.
On the one hand, he may die at any time, and on the other hand, he is close to the capital, which one of them may have a crisis on Chu Ze's side, so he can't wait any longer, if he misses this time, he still has a chance, but the name is not right.
"There is nothing wrong with everything, but listen to His Highness's orders, the ministers will live up to His Highness's high expectations, and his heart and brain will be ruined!" Qi Ziyu knew it in his heart, and he showed loyalty on his lips, but he also knew that even if he won this time, he would be plotting to usurp the throne.
"Good! This king ordered you to lead the forbidden army in the palace to guard the various exits of the palace, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Chu Ze was very satisfied with Qi Ziyu's reaction, and immediately ordered, "In addition, the Praetorian Guards arranged everywhere in the capital are in place?" ”
"Yes, everything is arranged according to His Highness's arrangement, no one in the capital will be able to go out to deliver a letter to Su Guogong, as long as the palace is controlled, everything can be safe."
Qi Ziyu was busy for two days in a row. The general will arrange the Praetorian Guards in the capital properly, although there is a token in hand, but after all, it is not justified by the emperor's order. There are many people who are not convinced, and they have killed a few people one after another to be able to suppress it, but it is not a long-term thing.
"Prime Minister Song Cheng and his grandfather's family jointly wrote a letter, pointing out that the prince deliberately rebelled, and the king led troops into the palace today to be on the side of the Qing monarch to kill the evil for his father! To set the record straight! In addition, the grandfather's side has already sent people to control the upper and lower levels of the court. As long as the edict in the palace comes out, the king's ascension to the throne will be completed smoothly, and no one will object! ”
Chu Ze laid out his plans and plans. The purpose is to ask Qi Ziyu to cooperate with him to mobilize the soldiers, and with a justifiable reason to send troops, the following forbidden army and the janissary army can follow him with all their hearts, otherwise no one will want to be labeled as a rebel.
"Yes! His Royal Highness is a loyal minister and a filial son. We must not sit idly by and watch the crown prince plot to usurp the throne. The minister is willing to follow His Royal Highness, Qingjun's side! Qi Ziyu didn't understand how to do it, so he immediately followed Chu Ze to echo, and then he held the token in his hand, and set off first, he had to enter the palace first, completely control the forbidden army, and ensure safety. Then Chu Ze could enter the emperor's bedroom without hindrance.
Sitting on a horse, majestic. Qi Ziyu's bright silver armor and his previous ink-colored clothes are completely extreme, but it makes him even more like a jade, his eyes are dark, and the sun shines but does not reflect in his eyes, like a whirlpool, where he sees it, he is sucked into it.
Behind him were two rows of soldiers from Chu Ze's mansion, with his order, Qi brushed and brushed to respond, although there were not many people, but the momentum was thousands, Qi Ziyu glanced back, and gave another order, and then urged the horse forward and went straight to the palace.
On this day, only a few words were left in the history books, and the four words of blood flowing into a river can already explain and summarize the tragic situation in the palace that day, and every family in the capital is closed, for fear of harming the pond fish, the restaurant inn is all listed and closed, no one dares to walk on the street, and the blood stains on the street can be seen everywhere, shocking.
It wasn't until the rainstorm three days later that the capital was completely washed, and every corner was washed clean, and there was no sin left, but the shadow was buried in everyone's heart, and it didn't go for a long time.
Many years later, there are still old men in the twilight who gathered under the city wall in groups of threes and twos, basking in the sun and whispering about the situation of that day.
Qi Ziyu, as the leader of the Dragon Guard, naturally knew the details of the guards in the palace, and took over the forbidden army without a single soldier, and dispersed the forbidden army according to Chu Ze's instructions, focusing on guarding the four gates of the palace, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, only waiting for Chu Ze to come.
The commander of the forbidden army understood almost instantly that this was a forced palace! But he understood that it was only a moment, and he was taken down by Qi Ziyu and others, and if there were any more disobedient people, they would all end up like this.
Different from the panic outside, the emperor's dormitory is still peaceful, the old Emperor Shengde is still asleep, he has almost no time to wake up in the past two days, but Concubine Ling, who has been waiting, is becoming more and more calm, and her indifferent temperament is very special, like an orchid.
Even if she was as smart as she had guessed that there was about to be a disturbance outside, she still didn't fluctuate, just stared at the emperor's sleeping face, occasionally wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead for him, gentle and patient, full of love, just like when he held her hand, she looked back and smiled.
Chu Ze did not enter the palace alone, Qi Ziyu's eyes suddenly flashed when he saw the person he brought, and some bright light appeared in the ink, but it was quickly concealed.
"Your Highness, the crown prince has been captured?" Urging the horse forward, dismount and say hello, Qi Ziyu's action was done in one go, although he asked, but Chu Yuan had been tied up and put in the carriage, and this question also became a sarcasm.
"Of course, the rebel and thief, of course, must be tied up to give his father and the emperor!" Chu Ze smiled loudly, the victory was in his hands, he asked Qi Ziyu to come to the palace to control the forbidden army, and he invaded the prince's mansion with the help of his maternal grandfather's family, and was successfully captured by the prince without defense, and then brought to the palace with a lot of flowers, and the prince's mansion was also temporarily surrounded, waiting to be released.
"Congratulations, Your Highness!" Qi Ziyu turned sideways, stood on Chu Zema's side, pointed to the ground on one knee, and performed a courtesy, Chu Ze was overjoyed, raised his hand to disobey, and greeted Chu Yuan into the emperor's bedroom.
Qi Ziyu followed behind, and as soon as he stepped into the palace, he heard Ling Concubine shouting, "Presumptuous!" What are you guys doing! The following will not be done! The three princes entered the emperor's palace without a summons and offended the prince as a prince! Chu Ze, do you want to rebel? ”
"Rebellion? Tsk, this doesn't sound good, this king got the dictate of his father, and killed the rebel son Chu Yuan, you demon bewitched the harem, and this king also wanted to clear the king's side, and rushed to rescue the driver, how did it become a rebellion? ”
"This palace is serving the emperor every day, and there is no such thing at all, where can you be honest!" (To be continued.) )
