Red Flame Chapter 38 Forcing the Palace
"Yuwang?" In the image, this King Yu is Xuan Qi's fourth royal brother, and Chi Yan's most suitable candidate for the crown prince now - Xuan Shi.
Thinking of this, Ji Qianning looked at Xuan Qi, only to see that his face was gloomy and terrifying, and his whole body exuded a kind of anger that she had never seen before, and she involuntarily held his hand to show comfort.
Xuan Qi felt the warmth attached to the back of his hand, his eyes were instantly gentle, he looked down at Ning Er's eyes, and whispered: "I have to enter the palace immediately, you go back to the room and rest early." Then, his eyes returned to fierceness, and he instructed the dark night, "Quickly go and inform Zizhu, at three o'clock, gather outside the gate of the North Palace, keep all actions secret, and don't startle the snake." ”
After receiving the order in the dark night, he disappeared in an instant, and Su Wei waited quietly on the side, waiting for the master to act together.
Ji Qianning tugged at his arm with her other hand: "Tonight? The rest of the words were not spoken, and his heart was inexplicably worried, and his brows suddenly furrowed.
When Xuan Qi saw this scene, his heart warmed: "There may be a fierce battle tonight, don't worry, I will return safely." ”
When Ji Qianning heard him say this, she was even more worried, grabbed his hand, and said eagerly, "I'll go with you." ”
Xuan Qi chuckled and touched her head: "Obedient." The tone was full of pampering.
Ji Qianning shook her head: "I am no longer the cowardly woman I used to be, and I no longer need you to protect me all the time, tonight is dangerous, I am willing to fight with you, we are friends, it's time for me to do something for you." ”
Xuan Qi looked at her with a sincere face, and her heart was moved, perhaps, hand in hand with her loved ones, such a life is more meaningful.
Thinking of this, he walked away suddenly, and after a while, he took an ink-colored daku, quickly draped it on Ji Qianning's shoulder, handed over his favorite innocent sword to her, and then touched her head, and said softly: "Follow me for a while, pay attention to safety." After speaking, she took her left hand, walked out of the study, accompanied by the cold wind, and walked towards the door of the house.
Ji Qianning let him pull it, a different kind of emotion surged in her heart, she reached out and held the front placket of Da Yu, this is not the first time to wear his clothes, but it is the first time to feel so at ease.
Out of the mansion gate, the eleventh prince Xuanyi was already waiting, and several people stepped on the fierce horses and galloped all the way to the gate of the North Palace, where they met the Xuanjia army led by Bai Yi.
All of them were dressed in civilian clothes and came from different directions in the royal city, and the people in the city did not notice anything unusual.
Entering the palace gate, setting up ambushes all the way, Xuan Qi and others and more than hundreds of soldiers sneaked in the Longyang Palace, waiting for all the soldiers to tear off their coats, and the towering battle clothes were accompanied by the lights of the Longyang Palace, which was magnificent.
At this time, except for a few dazzling lights, everything was too calm, and the calm was unusual.
The silent night, the solemn Longyang Palace, the high-minded and inviolable Emperor Yan, the soldiers who hold the soldiers in their hands and are ready to attack at any time, all of this makes Ji Qianning feel depressed, and only by holding the innocent sword in his hand can he gain peace of mind.
Suddenly, the fire outside the palace gate was full of fire, and the sound of soldiers, fights, and shouts lasted for a long time. The dull voice thought about it, the heavy palace gate was pushed open, and there was no accident, and the rebel army led by the four princes killed the Longyang Hall and gathered outside the main hall.
"Father, my son has come to greet you." The fourth prince Xuan Shi saw that there were only a dozen guards outside the main hall, and he was even more proud in his heart, and let go of his throat and shouted into the hall.
The door of the palace was slowly opened, and Emperor Yan, who had a majestic face, stepped out of the palace door, looked at the fire under the high platform, and looked at the ugly face of the young man. ”
Xuan Shi raised his head, looked at Emperor Yan's fierce gaze, and turned his face away with a weak heart, with a trace of fear in his heart: "Erchen ......"
"Ah Shi, don't be cowardly." Behind him, a man with a round figure and a fleshy face heard a voice, this person was the uncle of the fourth prince and General Yao, who held military power.
Xuan Shi seemed to be encouraged, took a few steps forward and straightened his waist, and shouted loudly: "Father, the crown prince has been deposed for a long time, according to the ancestral system, the child is the new candidate for the crown prince, but I don't know, why did the father refuse to give an edict?" Tonight, the retainers took the liberty to come to discuss the matter with their father. ”
Emperor Yan snorted coldly, snatched the sword from the guard's hand, threw down the high platform, fell to Xuan Shi's feet, and scolded angrily: "Discussion? Presumptuous, you are a rebel, with outsiders, if the widow does not disagree, do you want to force the palace to kill your father? ”
"The child doesn't dare, as long as the father gives an edict, the child will immediately let these people withdraw from the Longyang Palace." After speaking, he bowed to the high platform.
"Wishful thinking, as long as the widow is at this moment, you will never be able to be this prince, you rebel, you are not worthy." After Emperor Yan finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves angrily.
General Yao shook his round body, took a few steps forward, and saluted the back of Emperor Yan above the high platform: "Your Majesty, you have offended your humble duties, we can support you, but we will also overthrow you and deliver the throne to King Yu, Your Majesty will be a leisurely and comfortable King Taishang, why not?" ”
"The sons don't want to be enemies of their fathers, I hope that my father will judge the situation, don't want my sons to be embarrassed?" The fourth prince's heart was the most tormented at this time, he not only wanted power, but also wanted to take care of the relationship between father and son.
"When you are widowed, you will never expect to get everything you want."
"Then don't blame the child for being ruthless." Xuan Shi closed his eyes, a line of tears slid down, some were unbearable, some were unwilling, and more humiliated, and then shouted heartbreakingly, "Father, you forced me." ”
"Kill." Xuan Shi gave an order, and the soldiers led by General Yao shouted and rushed to the high platform in an instant.
The situation is chaotic.
Suddenly, neat steps sounded, and the palace forbidden army and the Xuanjia army rushed out from all sides, surrounding the soldiers who rushed up at two-thirds of the high platform, and the water could not be passed.
On the high platform, there were five tall figures, protecting Emperor Yan tightly behind him.
Xuan Qi, Ji Qianning, Xuan Yi, Su Wei, and Duanmu Ting, the leader of the forbidden army, held a sword in his hand and looked serious.
Although Ji Qianning saw this thrilling scene, she stood beside Xuan Qi, inexplicably relieved, she raised her head and looked at the dark night sky, with a touch of coolness on the tip of her nose, it was snowing again.
The scorching spring came too late.
"Brother Four Wangs, it's too late to stop now." Xuan Qi's cold voice came down the high platform.
"Brother ...... Four Princes" Xuan Yi still didn't want to believe everything in front of him, the four royal brothers in his mind were gentle and elegant, and he cared for all his younger brothers, but today, he ......
The smugness on Xuan Shi's face disappeared, replaced by a look of disbelief, he clenched the hilt of his sword, and said word by word: "Father, sixth brother, after all, I underestimated you, but the game is not over yet, who knows who will win or lose?" Then, he shouted to General Yao, "General Yao, Ah Shi respects you again, uncle, the arrow is ready to fly, and you have to send it." ”
General Yao nodded at him, raised his broadsword, shouted, and instantly rushed towards the Xuanjia Army.
A fierce battle was about to break out, and Emperor Yan turned around and closed his eyes, a piercing chill in his heart.
Xuan Qi held Ji Qianning's hand to soothe her panic, and then rushed forward to fight with the rebels.
Ji Qianning watched the rebels fall under Xuan Qi's sword one by one, looked at his towering and upright back, instantly full of strength, and stepped forward to join the battle.
Except for the slight panic of defeating the first person, she was not overly afraid, but more proud of fighting side by side with Xuan Qi.
The fourth prince Xuan Shi struggled to fight with the Xuanjia army, and suddenly, there was a chill in his neck, and a sharp sword was against his throat, he was resentful in his heart, and he didn't dare to act rashly, so he had no choice but to hang his arms.
"His Royal Highness King Yu, it's time to stop." Bai Yi, who was nowhere to be seen, appeared at this time, and while Xuan Shi was unprepared, a sharp sword was forced into his neck.
Xuan Shi was stunned, and then a trace of cunning flashed on his face: "Bai Zixue, you are now immersed in the joy of being newly married, have you forgotten the concubine who lives in the harem?" Father took away your most cherished things, brother, don't you want to take it back? ”
Seeing Bai Yi's gradually ugly face, Xuan Shi became even more proud in his heart, confronting each other with enemies and attacking his heart.
"Capture the Longyang Palace together, and this king will give you everything you want." Xuan Shi saw the chill in Bai Yi's eyes, and thought that he had succeeded in his discord.
After a long time, Bai Yi suddenly laughed: "Your Highness has a good plan, but it's a pity, Weichen will always be loyal to Your Majesty, and His Royal Highness King Yu is better to be captured." ”
"You ......" Xuan Shi was furious and fell into Bai Yi's hands, he didn't have the slightest chance of winning. Closing his eyes, the sword in his hand fell to the ground, splashing a few snowflakes, the defeat was decided, and this game was finally lost......
"Yan History" records: On the twenty-ninth day of the first month of the twenty-seventh year of Emperor Wen of Yan, the emperor's fourth son Xuan Shi led the army to attack the Longyang Palace and was defeated. King Xuanqi led the Xuanjia Army to annihilate the rebels. Yao Liyuan, the leader of the rebels, seized his position, raided his home, and beheaded him for public display. Yuwang Xuanshi, the emperor stripped him of his title and was imprisoned for life.
…………
The magnificent and solemn Longyang Palace, even if thousands of candles are dancing, still can't illuminate the chill in people's hearts.
On the carved dragon seat in the middle of the main hall, Emperor Yan was sitting precariously, and there were four princes kneeling in embarrassment.
Xuan Qi and the others were on the right side, and at a glance, several people's faces and clothes were covered with blood to varying degrees.
The silence for a long time was suddenly broken by Emperor Yan's fierce voice: "Rebel, do you know what is wrong?" ”
Xuan Shi slowly raised his head, and looked at the high Emperor Yan with complaining eyes: "If you become a king or lose a coward, your sons have nothing to say." ”
When Emperor Yan read the unwillingness in his eyes, anger came from it, and he picked up a roll of bamboo slips on the desk and smashed it at his head, and blood instantly slid down his cheeks.
"Say, in this temple today, tell all your unwillingness and your grievances to the widow." The Yan Emperor clasped his hands tightly on the armrests, suppressing the surging anger.
"Erchen never thought of fighting with his father, the royal family and his descendants withered, the eldest prince died early, the prince was deposed, and Erchen just wanted to share his father's worries as soon as possible." Blood streaked across the four princes' cheeks and dripped onto the floor.
"Confused, you unfilial son, blinded by power, you have talent, you have the power to support you, this crown prince, sooner or later, the widow will give you the position, but you are stubborn, and your impulse has caused you to fall to this point."
"Really? Could it be that the father's favorite is not the sixth brother? After Xuan Shi finished saying this, a tear fell, and his heart was full of grievances, "Just because my biological mother is the person my father loves, I get your father's preference everywhere, even the eldest brother who died early, you remember it deeply." Everyone in the world says that the six princes are just a talented and incompetent martial artist, but who knows, the six princes in their mouths are personally cultivated by the king, Wen Tao and martial arts, and even the invincible Xuanjia army under Bai Yi's hands is also the real master of this King Ling. All the criticism is just a means to protect him, so like this, the father still said that he didn't leave the crown prince to him? ”
Emperor Yan was dumbfounded by the question.
At the right time, Xuan Qi took a step forward and saluted Xuan Shi, with pain hidden in his eyes: "Brother Four Princes, even if the father has a heart, the younger brother has no intention of being the prince, he just wants to be an idle prince." Brother Chen's brother and Anu have been taken care of by your mother and you since they were children, and naturally, they will not fight for what belongs to you. ”
Xuan Shi knew that his sixth brother never said anything against his will easily, and when he saw his sincerity, he laughed self-deprecatingly: "It is precisely because my mother and I have received the favor of Concubine Hui that this king has never attacked you. ”
In this cold Sheng'an Palace, Ah Qi's mother concubine is the only one who gives them mother and son warmth. The people in the royal family, for the sake of power, are deceitful, intriguing, cruel as hell on earth, perhaps, only by standing in a high position, can they protect the people around them.
But in order to get what you want, you have to turn your back on kindness, goodness, and faithfulness......
He is not a ruthless person after all, he is wrong.
He knelt all the way to the feet of Emperor Yan, hugged his legs, and cried out: "Erchen is wrong, Erchen knows that he is wrong, Erchen is willing to accept all punishments......"
Emperor Yan closed his eyes and looked complicated: "Someone comes, the four princes will take away their titles, and they will be imprisoned in the reading room for eternity, and they will not be allowed to come out without an edict." ”
……
Walking out of Longyang Palace, Xuan Shi was relaxed.
"My son is willing to spend the rest of his life to repent of today's crimes."
