The night was like water, and a drop of ice water melted, dripping onto the burning copper pillar, and instantly turned into water vapor.

For the first time, these lighting stands in the palace were burning, the flames were beating happily, and the shining Chen Shou's face flickered.

The sound of fighting was endless, and both the prince and Chen Shou stared nervously at the place where the killing sound shook the sky.

It was the West Palace, and it was also the place where the two parties came into contact, and the fighting never stopped from the beginning.

The crown prince Zhao Zhe did not look weak at all now, his red eyes were bloodshot, and he stood at the top with his sword.

"Didn't you hug Chen Shou's thighs and brag desperately about the Nine Turns of Jindan, and I thought you were also a marquis."

Wang Xiang didn't hear his ridicule, and said respectfully: "Eat the king, be loyal to the king." Our family is just a castration, and we should serve Your Majesty. ”

"My father asked you to come, why did you come?"

"Your Majesty advises you to turn back, father and son, he will never pursue it. After the ninth turn of Jindan, His Majesty is willing to abdicate as the emperor, ignore the government affairs, and completely entrust state affairs to Your Highness. ”

Zhao Zhe looked up to the sky and smiled, "Wang Xiang, do you really believe in Jindan Nine Turns?" ”

"Old slave, believe!"

The corner of Zhao Zhe's eyes moved, the old eunuch in front of him may be the person who has the most contact with his father, and he really believes in the nine turns of Jindan?

"Then there's nothing to say, you go back and tell your father, and when I kill the traitor, it's like he is guilty."

Wang Xiang knelt down and said loudly: "Your Highness, don't make mistakes again and again, you can trust Your Majesty once." ”

Zhao Zhe sneered again and again, believe him? It's better to wipe your neck and kill yourself.

The crown prince Zhao Zhe gasped vigorously, "Pass the order, you must capture the West Palace tonight, and show the head of the traitor Chen Shouxiao to the public!" Some of the Chen Shou heads were given a thousand taels of gold and sealed ten thousand households. ”

In the era when there was no founding military exploits, it was difficult to want to be a marquis, and once a marquis was a marquis, he would rest with the country.

This is not a simple reward, this is a great opportunity for several generations to benefit, and the people under the crown prince are all red-eyed.

Wang Xiang was angry in his heart, he had not yet ascended the throne, and he had already begun to promise the title of marquis, obviously he didn't take the emperor in his eyes.

I didn't expect so many people in the palace to look away, and the prince turned out to be pretending to be sick.

All the guards under the prince's door cheered loudly, Wang Xiang's face darkened, and the prince turned around and said: "Wang Xiang, I know that you are a loyal minister, and I will not kill you today." After you go back, take care of my father, tell him not to panic, and say that your son can kill the thief tonight. ”

"Your Majesty has a will, you must not harm Chen Shou's life."

Zhao Zhe's face twitched, his father was determined to believe in Chen Shou, and he secretly doubted in his heart whether this thing was real.

If it's true, Jindan will turn nine times, and he will never die... Who can refuse this temptation.

This peasant boy, step by step, has come to the present, whether it is the help of the gods.

Suddenly, near the West Palace, I don't know who set the fire.

The sky-high firelight reflected the dense clouds in the night sky, and the people of Bianliang all looked up to watch.

The palace was full of blood, and almost all the officials of Wei Yunse's family entered the palace and were imprisoned in Yong'an Palace by the prince.

And their subordinates are all working for the prince outside, and a group of people who came out of nowhere are also not afraid of death.

If it weren't for Chen Shou's people who were good enough to fight, it would be difficult to persevere.

A night of bloodshed...

In front of the Suzaku Gate of the West Palace, the desolate horn sounded again.

The soldiers in apricot-yellow robes have been fighting for a day and a night, and their faces are still not tired, but they are as calm as if they have just woken up. In front of Chen Shou, one hundred and ten cavalrymen lined up, holding the reins in one hand and a long spear in the other, and the spears went straight forward. The horse's snort, bursting with white mist. Xiliang Horse, crisscrossing the mountains, than this difficult battle formation, I don't know how much I have experienced.

Most of them were people borrowed by Chen Shou from Xiliang, and some were retired veterans of Xiliang recruited by himself.

What Chen Shou didn't expect was that the opposite side could actually hold on, this team that had endured for so long, and finally borrowed the hand of the Zhao family, a prince, the ghost of revenge, and I don't know what kind of power it has accumulated.

Chen Shou held on to the railing with both hands and looked down at the square at his feet. After a day of desperate fighting, every brick and stone in Suzaku Square was covered with blood. In the ditches on both sides of the square, blood pooled into streams, deep enough to drown people's ankles.

Now it is the middle of winter, and the blood has condensed into ice at this time, and only the rich bloody breath lingers.

White Tiger Hall, Forbidden Army Festival Hall.

Cao Wu, the general of Yulin, wore iron armor inside and a Confucian robe outside, and his hands were clenched into fists on his knees, and he sat upright.

A small yellow door, holding a yellow silk edict in his hand, raised it high, and said loudly: "Chen Shou rebelled, heaven and man are angry!" Now the prince is under the secret edict of His Majesty, summoning loyal and righteous people, convicting Chen Shou of the traitor, and making meritorious contributions, in one fell swoop! ”

Cao Wu's face was hesitant and asked, "Your Majesty is here?" ”

"Your Majesty was trapped by Chen Shou in the Chunhe Palace, and his life was safe. At present, Chen Shou is already running out of oil, but relying on a group of royal horse supervisors, how to compete with the prince. If the general doesn't go, it's too late to regret it. ”

The officials of the Ministry of War also spoke with spring thunder and loudly persuaded Cao Wu to send troops.

Next to Cao Wu, a partial general with a fat brain said: "It's better to send troops, forgive him how many soldiers and horses Chen Shou has?" ”

Cao Wu scolded secretly in his heart, don't you know that he was assassinated and unharmed. The prince suddenly made it difficult and made it clear that he had not received His Majesty's consent, and if he stood on the wrong team, he was afraid that he would have to move his head.

At this time, Huan Yu, the squire of the military department, stepped forward and said loudly: "General Cao, why hesitate, our military department has a document, if there is a military department to resist, the meritorious general will take it by himself, how about this?" ”

"How do you say this, I'm a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but I don't know what Your Majesty means."

Heng Yu can't manage so much, they are all Wei Yunse's people, Wei Yunse is now trapped in the palace, and was forced by the prince to write a letter and pass it out.

After receiving the letter, the officials outside were overjoyed, and the prince was weak, how could there be such a big movement. They naturally thought that it was Wei Xiang who launched the palace change, under the pretense of being the crown prince.

That's why they got together and came to the White Tiger Hall to coerce the forbidden army to send troops.

"Hit the palace, the meaning of Your Majesty the Way of Nature."

Cao Wu went down the steps, "Since there is an order from the Ministry of War, we have to wait for the forbidden army to come, come here, gather all the people, and enter the palace to quell the rebellion." ”

The three Yulin generals of the forbidden army glanced at each other, and they all saw the triumph in each other's eyes.

When the two sides were at a stalemate, another group of people poured into the palace.

There are 150,000 forbidden troops in Beijing, and although most of them are paid empty salaries, there are still 60,000 or 70,000 people.

This detachment, under the command of the officials of the Ministry of War, began to advance towards the palace.
