Chapter 60: The Burning of the Palace (Part 2)
In the Yongle Palace, there was chaos at this time, and the sounds of crying and shouting were all over the place.
Chen Shou called the princes, as well as their respective chamberlains, all of them languished and panicked.
They have grown up in the deep palace since they were children, when have they seen this kind of scene, the bloody wind and rain outside, and the corpses everywhere, it is like a nightmare.
Chen Shou was a little disappointed, these princes were not as good as the crown prince, he clenched his fists slightly, and said loudly: "Your Royal Highness, now that the prince has rebelled and detained His Majesty, it is really a critical time for my life and death." We are waiting for a bloody battle, but we have no choice but to have a low status, and we need a highness to come out and preside over the overall situation, I don't know which one is willing to take responsibility? ”
At this time, we must be prepared with both hands, that is, the old Emperor Gengyuan may not be able to survive this palace change.
Once the emperor died, there must be an heir, who immediately ascended the throne.
Otherwise, the crown prince will succeed to the throne logically, and his own group of people will be chaotic ministers and thieves, and they will be morally untenable.
And the bastard who entered Beijing immediately is looking at morality and etiquette to do things, and his identity as a double brother-in-law is probably far less convincing than the royal orthodoxy in his eyes.
After Chen Shou finished speaking, the hall was temporarily quiet, the three princes, you look at me, I look at you, they are all a little eager to try, but none of them dare to stand up.
By Concubine Zhao's side, Zhao Cai, the king of Pi, was about to step out of the ranks, go to the front, and preside over the overall situation.
His heart was surging, as if he was about to become the emperor of all eyes and put an end to this palace change.
Concubine Zhao grabbed him tightly, Zhao Cai turned around, and saw the helplessness and pleading in the eyes of the concubine, and the look in her eyes darkened.
Chen Shou was anxious, and looked left and right, such a good opportunity, these princes had no one to come forward.
When Li Xin comes, the prince will definitely not survive, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
He glanced at Zhao Hong in the crowd, who nodded.
Zhao Hong looked around, as if only Zhao Cai was in front of people, he slowly passed over and kicked Zhao Cai out.
"Bold, which dog..."
Chen Shou didn't wait for him to finish scolding, he swooped over, and held Zhao Cai's shoulders with both hands, "His Royal Highness King Pi has the courage of the sky, and the ministers are willing to serve the work of dogs and horses!" ”
After speaking, he hugged Zhao Cai and walked to a high place. Concubine Zhao's eyes were black, she almost fell, and was held up by Miao De.
She looked at Miao De, and stopped talking, Miao De shook his head and said softly: "There is no way back..."
Chen Shou raised his arms and shouted, everyone bent down and bowed, shouting loudly: "I am willing to go to the soup for the king of Sui, and I will never give up!" For the great Qi to kill the traitor, to be right. ”
Zhao Cai seemed to have a fire burning in his heart, and the fire light outside shone on his face, and the young prince was infinitely proud.
The other two princes didn't dare to stand up, but when they saw Zhao Cai in the limelight, they gritted their teeth with hatred one by one.
The snow outside the hall is getting denser and denser, and there is no intention of stopping, the surrounding palaces, pavilions, distant streets, markets, the deep mansions of the powerful and wealthy, and the thatched huts of the common people...... All covered in heavy snow. However, instead of weakening, the fire in the West Palace became bigger and bigger, but was blocked by a high wall and did not spread. The firelight flickered on the snow like flowing blood.
The crown prince Zhao Zhe outside, has not slept for two days, but he is not sleepy, he is wearing a crown on his head, wearing a prince python robe, pressing the sword with one hand, and his cheeks have become red because of excitement.
Behind him was a group of short, stocky, nonchalant guards, all of whom were real dead men who would not hesitate to shield their master from any danger.
On the snow outside the Dan Pier in front of them, hundreds of soldiers formed an arrow formation, facing the palace gate and ready to attack.
This is no longer a forbidden army, Cao Wu couldn't fight for two days in a row, so under the pretext of going outside to fight for the treasury, he withdrew most of his troops with his troops. The rest of the forbidden army was afraid and did not dare to step forward, and was ordered by the prince to kill a wave, but they still did not dare to come forward.
In terms of combat effectiveness alone, perhaps these forbidden troops are not as good as the bandits in Hedong.
The people and horses in front of him were temporarily pieced together by the prince, and they guarded the forbidden army a lot, and even had some eunuchs.
The weapons in their hands are even more varied, and there are even honor guards holding golden melons, silver halberds, and yellow Yue, and their eyes are fixed on the gate of the West Palace.
I don't know where to remove the huge wooden stake, which was held by a group of people, ran forward and crashed into the gate of the West Palace.
The vermilion palace gate continued to make a dull crashing sound, and the dust in the door hole was pouring down, as if a fierce beast was hitting the city gate, and it could break into the gate at any time.
Chen Shou took Zhao Cai, who had just been helped up, and ran to the door, hearing the sound of the impact as dull as thunder, and said loudly: "The reverse prince is going to fight hard." ”
At the same time as the palace gate was slammed, dozens of ropes were thrown above the palace wall, and a group of people in black armor passed over the wall. They leapt onto the wall and shoot with great intensity, their arms wrapped around their crossbows with incredible lethality.
Li Bohao's eyes were torn apart, staring at this group of people who suddenly appeared, and said word by word: "The one who killed the eldest prince is this group of birdmen." ”
Without waiting for Chen Shou and Zhao Cai to order, he and the guards of the East Palace behind him pulled out their knives and rushed over.
The two sides quickly collided, the two groups had different armor, weapons, and origins, but one thing was the same, and neither of them flinched in fear.
Zhao Cai's face was sickly red at this time, and he stood under the banner of the King of Sui, who had just been made, drew his sword and shouted, "Kill!" Kill all these traitors! Kill! Kill the rebellious prince! Punish the thief ......"
Zhao Cai shouted hoarsely, and the corners of his mouth even burst out of white foam. Chen Shou watched coldly from the sidelines, and this crazy king made him faintly uneasy.
He suddenly thought that this was a close relative, although Emperor Yuan said that the beast did not care about Prince Fufeng as his own brother, but Concubine Zhao was his real niece, most of such children were flawed, don't be a little crazy and be inspired by yourself, right?
Jin Yuwei's people were still fighting at the door, and suddenly there was a strange movement behind him, Chen Shou looked back, and it turned out to be Huang Zhen, Liu Shangying and others, with a group of bloody servants.
"My lord, there are too many forbidden troops..."Huang Zhenyu said with guilt: "The treasury and checkpoints outside the city are almost all occupied by them, and we are waiting to retreat step by step." ”
Chen Shou nodded and said, "Quickly take a few adults to rest, guard the palace gate, and wait for reinforcements." ”
"Reinforcements?" Huang Zhen and Liu Shangying glanced at each other, and they both saw the ecstasy in each other's eyes.
They followed Chen Shou and made a big gamble, and if they lost, it would be all over.
Unexpectedly, when the mountains and rivers were exhausted, Chen Shou still had reinforcements, and they immediately thought that the young man in front of them was from Xiliang.
If Xiliang enters the Central Plains, who in the world can compete with it?
"That is His Royal Highness?" The two of them were even more excited, it turned out that Zhongyong Bo had even found a candidate for the Son of Heaven, so what worries did they have.
Chen Shou's status in their hearts has risen to another level, and only with such a person can there be desperate value.
Chen Shou deliberately didn't say anything, let his subordinates gather confidence, and he returned to Zhao Cai's side.
Although he is crazy, his identity is there, and only those under him have the hope of continuing to fight.
As long as you support the prince in front of you to take the throne, these people are from the dragon's work, otherwise only Chen Shou is presiding over the overall situation, no matter how you look at it, you will be purged.
