Chapter 479: Reinforcements
Hearing that Yu Linwei and the forbidden army of the Inner Palace were moving, Empress Dowager Wu was stunned at first, but quickly regained her composure.
Even if at this moment in the Qinzheng Palace, there were already faint noises, like the sound of swords, but there was still no panic in the Empress Dowager Wu.
"Who's the first to do it?" Empress Dowager Wu asked indifferently.
The little eunuch who reported the news was still trembling, and hurriedly replied: "It's Yu Linwei!" ”
When Empress Dowager Wu heard this, she laughed instead of being angry.
I saw her glance at Jiang Xuan meaningfully, before facing everyone, and said with a sneer: "Seeing that it is about to dawn, the mourning family really can't wait, I want to see how you explain Yu Linwei's disobedience in front of the civil and military officials!" ”
Empress Dowager Wu felt that this was the handle they sent to the door themselves!
At this moment, Empress Dowager Wu is not worried about the outcome of the conflict outside.
Although it is difficult for the forbidden army of the Inner Palace to resist Yu Linwei's offensive, An Lebo has already led the men and horses of the Five Armies Governor's Mansion to deploy on the periphery, and Yu Linwei dares to make the first move, which is simply beyond his strength!
Therefore, Empress Dowager Wu never concealed her smugness.
The little eunuch who came in to report the news saw it in his eyes and was anxious.
Could it be that I didn't say it clearly enough?
He hurriedly said: "Yu Linwei's offensive is fierce, and I hope that the Queen Mother will quickly think of a way!" ”
Empress Dowager Wu disagreed, still sneering: "They are in a hurry to bring about their own destruction, and the mourning family has no choice!" ”
She has her own calculations in mind.
Since these people in the Qinzheng Palace don't eat hard and soft, she can only do one and keep doing two. I just destroyed the edict of succession, and at this moment, I simply cleaned up Yu Linwei, so as to save another incident in front of the ministers after dawn. hindering the succession of the emperor's eldest grandson......
The little eunuch was confused, and only felt that the Queen Mother was pretending to be calm.
He couldn't help but look up, saw that the prince of Jingyuan Hou was also in the hall, and then thought of Yulinwei outside......
After talking again, he couldn't help but ask the Empress Dowager Wu for instructions: "It's urgent, can you ask the Empress Dowager to retreat first......
Empress Dowager Wu flatly refused.
How could she give up this opportunity to hit Jiang Xuan.
"However, the Inner Palace Forbidden Army is about to be overwhelmed!" The little eunuch shouted loudly. Trying to regain the Queen Mother's sanity.
At this time, Empress Dowager Wu frowned slightly and asked, "What did you say?" ”
"The Inner Palace Forbidden Army can't resist such an offensive at all. At this time, Yu Linwei was already getting closer and closer to the Qinzheng Palace! The little eunuch confirmed.
Empress Dowager Wu was immediately stunned, and then suddenly realized that the chaotic sound had indeed become clearer.
"Where's Amleber? Is there no one on the periphery with reinforcements? Empress Dowager Wu hurriedly asked.
"There's no movement outside."
Empress Dowager Wu stumbled under her feet. I almost fainted. Fortunately, Mama Li stepped forward in time to support her. She was able to stabilize her figure.
I can't help but wonder what the hell is going on with this An Lebo! It's been deployed a long time ago, but it's so slow! If Yu Lin Wei really controlled the Qinzheng Palace first, although he would not lose the overall situation, it would eventually damage his face.
At this moment, Empress Dowager Wu didn't know that her thoughts were actually too optimistic.
It didn't take long for the voice outside the Qinzheng Hall to gradually weaken.
The winner is decided.
Just when Empress Dowager Wu raised her eyebrows and looked angrily, she planned to use her momentum to suppress Yu Linwei. When delaying time for the reinforcements of Amleber, the two men who entered the main hall. directly stunned her on the spot.
These two people are both dressed in military uniforms, but they are not the same.
One of them, whom she recognized, was none other than one of the leaders of Yu Linwei.
The other person, although he is a fresh face, but the outfit of the Zhenbei Iron Rider is very obvious!
Just when Empress Dowager Wu was stunned, the person behind her had already made a hasty salute and walked straight to Jiang Xuan:
"Lord Shizi, the Eight Thousand Town North Iron Cavalry has arrived in time, and at this moment they have taken over the defense of the capital, and they will control An Lebo and others who committed rebellion, as well as the forbidden army of the Inner Palace."
It was only at this point that Jiang Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lord Ji and Yan Guogong were shocked, and they couldn't figure out how these eight thousand Zhenbei Iron Riders could reach the capital overnight...... Could it be that it is really the handiwork of Mrs. Marquis of Jingyuan?
Despite the facts, they still couldn't believe it.
Only Lord Zhen was far calmer than them, and he only looked at Jiang Xuan for a moment, and his eyes were full of clarity.
On the other hand, Empress Dowager Wu no longer had the calmness she had just now, staring at the person with her eyes, and suddenly shouted: "Bold!" ”
"You're clearly talking! An Le Bo was ordered by the emperor to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, how could he say that he was 'committing chaos'! But you, as the Zhenbei Iron Cavalry stationed on the outskirts of Beijing, dared to enter Beijing without an edict, which is the real conspiracy! ”
Empress Dowager Wu tried to strike first, but received no response.
The general of the Zhenbei Iron Cavalry didn't even look at her, just looked at Jiang Xuan, waiting to obey orders.
Jiang Xuan was a little distracted at this time.
Knowing that it was impossible for Lu Qingrong to follow him into the palace, he still couldn't help but look outside the palace...... He hadn't seen him for a day, and he missed that familiar figure terribly.
Hurriedly retracting his mind, Jiang Xuan resisted the urge to ask Lu Qingrong, and ordered in a deep voice:
"The general has worked hard all the way. In another quarter of an hour, it will be the time for the civil and military officials to go to court, and I hope that the general will assist Yu Linwei to maintain order in the palace to ensure that the new monarch can succeed to the throne smoothly. ”
The two generals immediately took the order and left.
At this time, Empress Dowager Wu didn't seem to care about what she had just ignored, just because she felt a glimmer of life in her heart.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Xuan was just a foolish and loyal person after all!
With military power in hand and a good situation, instead of preventing hundreds of officials from entering the court and inviting the second prince to seize the opportunity, he also put on a bright and upright appearance, trying to make the new monarch rightfully succeed to the throne.
If the edict in their hands is still there, it will be fine. But now this is unfounded......
Empress Dowager Wu's gaze swept over the brazier in the hall, as well as the edict that had already burned to pitch black although it was snatched out of the fire by Jiang Xuan, and suddenly regained some confidence.
In just a quarter of an hour, Empress Dowager Wu's heart turned a thousand times, and she repeatedly pondered her words to the courtiers for a while, in order to turn the tide and teach Jiang Xuan a lesson by the way!
Soon, the officials who came to the court learned the news of the emperor's death and rushed to the Qinzheng Palace.
After some sorrow, when Lord Ji took out the edict written by the emperor himself from his arms, the Empress Dowager Wu did not come up in one breath and fainted directly.
When she woke up, she still did not miss the most crucial sentence in the reading of the edict.
“…… With the second prince...... Following my accession to the throne, the emperor's throne ......"
The last glimmer of hope is gone.
