When the fake is true

The royal hunting ground is in a place called Sixiang Mountain, which is five days away from the imperial city. In addition to being a royal hunting ground, Sixiang Mountain also has a military camp, but the soldiers of this military camp do not belong to the forbidden army, but the tun guards, but every spring and autumn have more important tasks to guard the royal hunting grounds to hold the spring and autumn hunting ceremony.

It was already the evening of the third day when the hunting guard of honor arrived at the hunting ground, and the emperor, clan relatives, and hundreds of officials were stationed in the palace of Sixiang Mountain, the forbidden army was responsible for the palace guards, and the Sixiang Mountain Tun Guards were stationed on the periphery.

Tomorrow's autumn hunting ceremony will begin, and tonight's performance is already tasting the game of Sixiang Mountain.

In the main hall, Gao Yan lay comfortably on the dragon chair, holding Man'er in his arms, and had a drink with the beauty from time to time. On the fire beside it, smoke fills the air, and there are pheasants, hares, and other unknown game on them. The delicious aroma in the smoke and fire is overflowing, and it is estimated that the fairies singing and dancing in the clouds and mist in the main hall are secretly swallowing their saliva.

In a side hall not far away, Gao Zhan sat motionless with his eyes closed, but he held the king's sword given to him by the emperor that day in his hand, looking at the beating fire in front of him, he was waiting for ....... There was a gentleman dressed as a deacon standing next to him, yes, it was Mr. Lan who conspired with Gao Zhan that day, and at this moment, he was also waiting. Listen—they've been waiting for it.

Outside the gate of the Sixiang Mountain Palace, a team of men and horses galloped over, and the guards of Sixiang Mountain outside the gate saw that people and horses were coming, and they were immediately alert.

When the group approached, the defenders of the Tun Guard shouted in front of the gate: "Whoever is coming, report the password!" ”

After the group of people reined in the horse, the leader held a token and shouted: "We are the forbidden army, I am Yang Shouchang, the commander of the forbidden army, and I have urgent military affairs to see Your Majesty, I just came from outside, I don't know the password!" ”

"If you don't know the password, you're not allowed to enter!"

"Bastard, we are a forbidden army, can you afford to delay the emperor's major affairs?" Yang Shouchang scolded.

The forbidden army originally looked down on the Tun Guards, and the Tun Guards did not obey the Forbidden Army, Yang Shouchang said this, and the Tun Guards were unhappy all of a sudden, and immediately returned unceremoniously: "I don't care what the forbidden army is, I only know that you are not allowed to enter without a password." ”

"Bold!" Yang Shouchang suddenly became angry, and he was about to break through, but was stopped by his subordinates, and then Yang Shouchang also knew that this would cause a conflict between the two sides, so he suppressed his anger and said loudly: "Since it is so full, please ask Yang Shourong, the former general of your Sixiangshan military camp, to come out and see, he is my brother, please report!" ”

"Wait!" When the defenders saw that the forbidden army had lowered their figures, they let them wait and went in to report.

After a while, a person who looked the same as Yang Shouchang rode a horse to the front of the gate, and after seeing a very familiar face illuminated by a torch, he immediately waved his hand to let his subordinates relax their vigilance, and then asked: "Big brother, aren't you guarding inside, when did you go out?" ”

Yang Shouchang rode forward and said: "Urgent military situation, take a step to speak." ”

Yang Shourong nodded, and was about to go inside, but as soon as he turned around, his brother Yang Shouchang behind him pulled out a knife and cut him off the horse. The two people behind Yang Shouchang immediately stepped forward and inserted the spear in their hands into Yang Shourong's heart, resulting in his life.

Then Yang Shouchang shouted: "Kill!" "The forbidden army outside rushed in like a flood of floodgates

All this happened so suddenly, the guards of the gate reacted and immediately resisted, but the guards in front had already been killed.

For a time, the sword light and sword shadows, the sound of killing was everywhere, and hundreds of forbidden troops rushed into the camp like tigers and wolves, and fought with the defenders of Sixiang Mountain. In the chaos, I only heard someone shouting: "The forbidden army rebelled, Yang Shouchang killed General Yang!" The Forbidden Army has rebelled! Our General Yang was killed......"

Emperor Gao Yan, who was barbecuing meat, was frightened by the shouting and killing outside, and immediately shouted: "Someone, escort!" ”

The forbidden army outside had already rushed in and was ready for battle. The dancers in the hall have long since dispersed.

"Yang Shouchang, what's going on?" The emperor was displeased.

"Back to Your Majesty, the last general has already sent someone to investigate, and the shouting of killing is coming from the defenders of Sixiang Mountain." Yang Shouchang replied.

"Your Majesty—" At this time, Gao Zhan, the king of Changguang, hurriedly broke in, holding the sword of the day in his hand.

"Ninth brother, what's going on outside?" The Emperor asked hurriedly.

"Back to Your Majesty, the younger brother heard shouting outside in a trance...... shouting that the forbidden army had rebelled and killed the Tun Guard, and the two sides had already clashed in Yuanmen?" Gao Zhan replied in a panic.

"What?" The emperor and Yang Shouchang were taken aback.

"Forbidden army rebellion? How can it be? Yang Shouchang asked incredulously.

"Yes, they also said that it was ...... who took the lead in making trouble" Gao Zhan hesitated.

"Who is it? Say it! The Emperor said angrily.

"Back to Your Majesty, is it exactly-Commander Yang?" Gao Zhan said who it was.

"What? I? Yang Shouchang was stunned, but immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, this must be a rumor, and the minister is by Your Majesty's side." How can it be chaotic? ”

The emperor's angry eyes flashed for a moment, and then his eyes flashed with suspicion and said, "No, Commander Yang has been escorting here, why did he run to the Yuanmen to make trouble?" ”

"Brother Chen doesn't know, but that's what is shouting outside......" Gao Zhan didn't seem to know either.

"Your Majesty, the spies report back!" There was a report outside.

"Come in!" The emperor drank.

When the forbidden army outside heard the news, they immediately ran in and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, there is indeed a group of forbidden troops and the Tun Guards fighting outside, about seven or eight hundred people, and the leader looks the same as Commander Yang!" ”

"What? Like me? Could it be ......" Yang Shouchang suddenly remembered his brother. At this time, several important ministers from outside had already come to visit, and after obtaining permission, they all came in.

Not only himself, but everyone present knew that Yang Shouchang had a younger brother, who was the same as him. The emperor and Gao Zhan glanced at each other, and Gao Zhan hurriedly asked, "Can you see clearly, is it Commander Yang or his younger brother Yang Shourong?" ”

"It's not the former general Yang Shourong, the guards outside said that the former general has been killed!" The janissary replied.

"Killed!" Yang Shouchang jumped up, grabbed the forbidden soldier and shouted, "Who did it?" Can you see clearly? ”

"I didn't ...... No, people outside said that the person who killed the former general was the same as the commander, so the Tun Guards clashed with the forbidden army. The Praetorian seemed to be frightened by the enraged Grand Commander.

Everyone present fell silent, conjecturing about all sorts of possibilities.

"Your Majesty, the top priority is to guard the palace gate first, the current situation is unclear, but it is certain that someone pretended to be the commander of Yang Da to create chaos, and the minister suggested that Your Majesty can command the forbidden army, and then try to get in touch with the Tun Guard, explain the misunderstanding, and stop the fighting. If someone has ulterior motives and can't stop the attack of the Tun Guard, then His Majesty will send someone to rush out and allocate reinforcements. An old minister who looked a little older suggested.

"You mean? Someone sent the Tun Guards to make a rebellion? The Emperor asked.

At this time, Gao Zhan said: "This is already obvious, Commander Yang is here, is he fake?" It's clear that someone is making trouble......"

"Newspaper - Your Majesty! The three deputy commanders of the forbidden army asked for an off-the-books request, do they want to go out of the palace to face the battle? "Someone came in to report it.

"Message! Let them guard the palace gate, and they must not go out without a will, otherwise they will be punished as collaborating with the enemy! "The emperor has decreed.

"Yes!" The man was just about to get up when the emperor asked again, "Let the three deputy commanders count the number of people and see if there are any missing?" ”

"Your Majesty, it has been counted, all the soldiers are sticking to it, and there is no real shortage!" Someone to report.

There was another brief silence for all.

The old minister just now spoke again: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Changguang is right, someone is pretending to be a forbidden army to make a rebellion, it seems that it is indeed necessary to clarify with the Tun Guards to avoid the situation from continuing to deteriorate!" ”

"Go and preach the message." The Emperor said.

"Yes!" The man galloped away.

"There are 20,000 defenders in Sixiang Mountain, and there are only 800 people to deal with, so there is no need to worry, and after all these chaotic troops are wiped out, it will not be too late for us to go out." Another minister said.

"Never!" Gao Zhan said to stop: "Since they are pretending to be the forbidden army and intend to rebel, they will definitely be ready to continue to instigate the Tun Guards to attack the forbidden army, if they don't let Song Xiang of the Tun Guards know the situation in advance, it will be unimaginable to fight with the real forbidden army at that time!" ”

"What the prince said is very true, Your Majesty, if you can trust the old minister, let the old minister go out to deliver the decree to General Song on your behalf." It's still the old minister's sincere initiation.

"Your Majesty, according to the minister's humble opinion, on relatives, the prince is His Majesty's ninth brother, and he has just been canonized on the throne, in terms of prestige, the prince is also a great achievement, it is better to let His Royal Highness King Changguang and Da Sima go together, and the military heart of the Tun Guard may be appeased!" Someone else suggested.

The emperor pondered for a while, and finally made up his mind: "Good! Ninth brother, you and Xu Aiqing will replace me and send a message to the Tun Guards, and let them truce as soon as possible after explaining clearly! ”

"Yes!" The two knelt down to receive the order, and then the great Sima Xu Ji played again: "Your Majesty, please give the holy decree and the talisman." In addition, the minister also wants to bring Yang Shouchang with him, didn't he say that there is a fake, and now that he is really gone, how long can he pretend to be fake? ”

The emperor pulled the yellow silk on the side case, heard Xu Ji's words, thought for a moment, and then wrote on the silk. After writing, he stamped the treasure seal, took out the talisman, handed the holy decree to Gao Zhan, and then gave the talisman to Xu Ji, saying, "You three go!" ”

The three of them received the order, kowtowed, and quickly retreated, no one noticed, and the corner of Gao Zhan's mouth sneered.

The emperor looked at the backs of the three of them, and stood for a long time unable to sit still.

The three of them went out of the palace under the escort of six forbidden soldiers, and just a few feet away from the palace gate, they were targeted by the guards who were eyeing the guards, led by a partial general of the Sixiang Mountain Guards, and the swords were tense!
