Chapter 891: Night Attack
When the prince came of age, he needed to leave Beijing for a fiefdom, which was the custom of the imperial family.
But this practice is not absolute, if the Son of Heaven sets up the crown prince early, once the rest of the princes become adults, there is no reason to stay in Beijing. But if the crown prince is not appointed, the emperor will leave several princes as the choice of the prince.
King Kang, King Duan, and King Huai belong to the latter situation.
As for King Fu, it is because he is the younger brother of today's son, and the relationship between the brothers is harmonious, and His Majesty deliberately stayed in Beijing so that they can get together often.
According to the laws of the state of Chen, the prince can have a pro-army, but the number must not exceed 500, which is to prevent the prince from becoming too powerful and thus plotting rebellion.
In the Jingshi, which has 100,000 guards and guards inside and out, 500 people can't make any waves.
If they want to rebel and haven't entered the palace yet, they will be completely wiped out by Yulinwei.
Although 500 people can't rebel, if they raze any mansion in Jingshi, it is more than enough.
Just a moment after the hour, countless armored figures poured out from Duanwang's mansion, completely ignoring the curfew in the capital, and rushed towards a certain mansion across the street.
No one noticed that in the dark corner opposite the palace, a figure was running faster than them over several courtyard walls and towards a mansion a street away.
The five hundred guards of Duanwang's Mansion were stopped by a group of dozens of people before they could get out of the street.
These dozens of people stood in two columns, each wearing gold armor and holding a halberd, who was the golden feather guard who was responsible for patrolling the city.
The young general of the Golden Feather Guard was also shocked to see that after the curfew, so many people appeared on the streets of Jingshi, but he still ordered everyone to stop in front of them, and said sharply: "What people! ”
In the guards of Duanwang's Mansion, the leader glanced coldly at the young general opposite, and said coldly: "The prince's mansion is doing business, and the idle people are out of the way!" ”
The young general of the Golden Feather Guard had already seen that these people were the guards of the Duanwang Mansion, and although the crown prince's canonization ceremony had not yet been held, the promotion of the Duanwang to the crown prince was indisputable, and they were unwilling to go against the people of the Prince's Mansion if it was not necessary.
But at this time, it was already a child, and the guards of Duanwangfu were exhausted, so they must not be doing anything good, but they were so numerous that it was impossible to stop them with dozens of them.
The young general decisively led his subordinates to retreat, and after the guards of Duanwangfu left, he lit a bamboo tube in his hand.
Bang!
A dazzling flash of fire shot into the night sky, exploding in the air and turning into scattered fireworks that could be seen from all corners of the Kyoshi.
The guards of Duanwang Mansion naturally also saw the fireworks, and knew that this was the summoning signal of the Golden Feather Guard, the leader frowned, and said, "Hurry up in a while......"
Although he expected that Jin Yuwei would not dare to make a move against the people of the Prince's Mansion, if they arrived, the task assigned to them by King Duan tonight would not be completed.
When the guards heard this, their steps became faster.
At the same time, in the Tang Mansion, Tang Ning and Lao Zheng stood side by side, the old beggar yawned, and the Eighth Elder and the Fourth Elder stood beside Lao Zheng, with a very relaxed expression on their faces.
A hundred Tang family guards stood in front of them, their expressions a little solemn.
As soon as there was a movement in Duanwang's Mansion, Tang Ning learned about it.
Whether it is Duanwangfu or the Tang family, there are his people around for twelve hours to watch, and the five hundred guards of Duanwangfu are out of Duanwangfu when he is a child, and he knows what he wants to do without thinking about it.
The Tang family does not have five hundred guards, and more than one hundred guards in their family are overstepping, but these hundred people are all picked out one by one, and everyone is one as ten.
Tang Ning didn't expect that after King Duan became the crown prince, he was so bold and attacked the Prime Minister's Mansion at night, he calculated exactly what kind of choice Emperor Chen would make between the two people.
It's a pity that he didn't calculate it, and his plan with Concubine Tang Hui has been exposed.
Lao Zheng looked at Tang Ning and asked, "What are you going to do with it?" ”
Tang Ning said: "Those who dare to step into this door will be killed." ”
On the street outside the door, five hundred Duanwangfu guards approached quietly.
The lantern in front of the Tang family was hung high, revealing a faint light, and the order given to them by King Duan was not to stay, the head of the guard stood in front of the Tang Mansion, waved his hand, and several people lifted a huge wood and slammed it on the gate of the Tang family.
The door latch was broken in response, and what they saw was not the panicked subordinates of the Tang family.
A rain of arrows followed.
The current dozen or so people were shot into hedgehogs and fell to the ground in the next moment.
At this time, the second wave of arrows has followed.
They didn't have time to react, and in an instant, more than a dozen people fell to the ground.
The leader of the guards named Xu Wei was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and said loudly: "Release the arrows, release the arrows!" ”
It's just that before his words fell, a burst of yellow smoke suddenly appeared under his feet.
At the same time, he also smelled a pungent smell in his nose, and the next moment, his head became groggy.
"This smoke is poisonous!"
Xu Wei's face changed greatly, and when his voice fell, he immediately tore off a cuff to cover his mouth and nose, but in this short period of time, nearly 100 people fell to the ground.
Xu Wei was a little anxious in his heart, but he was more frightened, he thought that it was a very simple matter for the guards of the palace to pour out and subvert a mansion, but he never expected that they would lose two people's hands before they even stepped into the gate of the Tang Mansion.
He knew that he couldn't delay any longer, if he waited for Jin Yuwei to arrive, tonight's mission would definitely fail, a hint of fierceness appeared in his eyes, and he said loudly: "Rush in!" ”
The Duanwang Mansion guard at the front showed a trace of fierceness on his face, and was about to rush into the Tang Mansion, but suddenly felt a tingling pain in his neck, wrists, ankles and other places, and when he looked down, by the moonlight, he saw that the ground was densely packed with poisonous insects such as centipedes and scorpions, and he was shocked at the moment, and then his eyes were dark, and he fell to the ground, and he didn't know who he was.
Where have the guards of Duanwang's Mansion seen this kind of battle, just a face-to-face effort, it is a rain of arrows, poisonous smoke and poisonous insects, and half of the five hundred people have been lost, but not only have they not even seen the other party's people, but they haven't even stepped into the gate!
Xu Wei didn't have time to be shocked, he knew that the Tang family's guards would not exceed a hundred, and the rest of them still had a great advantage in numbers, but he hadn't seen his opponent yet, which made him feel violently uneasy.
Xu Wei gritted his teeth and was about to give another order when the ground under his feet suddenly shook.
Figures in golden armor poured out from the end of the street, and in an instant, they occupied the entire street and surrounded them.
"Golden Feather Guard!" Xu Wei's face sank completely.
An emaciated figure walked slowly from behind, one of his legs was a little lame, and he walked very slowly, but Xu Wei didn't dare to underestimate him, because this person was General Zuo Jin Yuwei, Wulie Hou Han Wei.
Marquis Wu Lie glanced at the guards of the Duanwang Mansion in front of him with an indifferent gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Put down your weapons, those who trespass, die!" ”
Although there are many Jin Yuwei, they are Duanwang and the prince's subordinates, and everyone is not so afraid, and their eyes look at Xu Wei.
It's just that when they hesitated, Wu Liehou had already raised his hand and quickly waved it down.
"There are assassins who assassinate Tang Xiang, within a breath, armed and stubborn resistants, kill!"
A breath is a breath, that is, the time when he waves.
Shout!
With the wave of his arm, there was another rain of arrows in the night sky, and the guards of the Duanwang Mansion who didn't have time to put down their weapons were immediately shot on the spot, even if they were disarmed at the first time, many of them were affected.
Xu Wei was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, looked at Wu Liehou, his eyes were split, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Han Wei!" ”
"Get on your knees!" Wu Liehou's face sank, and he said sharply: "Assassinate the prime minister of the dynasty, who gave you the guts!" ”
Two golden feather guards had already stepped forward and escorted him to his knees.
Xu Wei was still struggling, but Wu Liehou glanced at him and said, "Break his leg." ”
Click!
Jin Yuwei ordered the ban, Xu Wei screamed, his two legs bent at a strange angle, and knelt in front of Wu Liehou's eyes.
Tang Ning walked out of the mansion, looked at Marquis Wulie, and arched his hand: "Thanks to Lord Hou for arriving in time." ”
Seeing Tang Ning, Wu Liehou had a smile on his face and asked, "Jin Yuwei is late, is Tang Xiang okay?" ”
"It's fine." Tang Ning waved his hand, looked at Xu Wei, whose legs were broken and kneeling on the ground, shook his head and said, "King Duan really doesn't want to wait for a day......
Xu Wei's forehead was full of cold sweat, but he still looked at Tang Ning with fierce eyes, and a smile appeared on his face, and said: "You can hide from the first day of junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth, Your Highness will not let you go, wash your neck and wait for death, hahaha......"
Tang Ning glanced at him, then looked away and said, "Go to Duanwang's Mansion." ”
