Miao Fu scolded: "What about the guards at the city gate? What did you do? How many people did they come? ”

"About 10,000 people, and ......"

"And what, spit, hurry up!" Huang Qianshan said.

"And with General Qu, there is also a self-proclaimed emperor!"

What the!?

The man added: "There are many people in the city who follow the army, as if watching the excitement." ”

The expressions of the four rebels changed dramatically, and they panicked, and they were about to die at the beginning of the coup.

"What should I do?" Miao Fu asked.

Wang Boyan said: "Don't panic, first step up the defense of the palace, don't we still have 30,000 reinforcements from the south." I have an old relationship with their leader Zhao Li, and my son Wang Zhaosi has brought me a letter to lobby him, and after he gets my letter, he should see the situation clearly and help me and help the Song family. ”

The four of them took most of the forbidden army to the north tower of the palace, and were startled when they saw the mighty crowd outside. Below Emperor Zhao Jian, Qu Ping, eight thousand iron horses, hundreds of Chinese military officials in the city, and tens of thousands of people.

When the ministers and the people saw the four rebels appear, they were excited, and the accusations and insults were endless.

The four of them didn't expect that things would be completely opposite to what they expected.

Wang Boyan sighed and said: "I didn't expect that the ministers and the people are still towards the Zhao family, no matter what he has fallen into." ”

Huang Qianshan said indignantly: "It may be that we are too late to get started, or the news has leaked. Otherwise, it wouldn't be like this! ”

Zhao Gou raised his hand below, and suddenly the voice of the audience stopped abruptly. Zhao Gou said: "I can't wait for you, why are you rebelling!" Don't be tied yet! ”

Wang Boyan said: "It's true that the emperor treats me well, but it's also true that the emperor insists on trapping the people of Li in fire and water." What we did was just to save the country and bloodline for the Great Song Dynasty, and I hope the emperor will understand. ”

Zhao Gou sneered and said: "It is disloyal for you to imprison and coerce me, I can't wait for you to wait, but you will take revenge for injustice, and what you do is really trapping the family in fire and water is unfilial piety." If you are so disloyal, unrighteous and unfilial, I will not forgive you, and the people of the world will not forgive you! ”

Miao Fu looked at the soldiers and generals under the city, about 10,000, and said: "I have 10,000 soldiers and horses, and I have contacted Zhao Li outside the city with 30,000 soldiers and horses, Qu Ping, do you want to make a difference with a few thousand people?" Pipe dream! ”

Qu Ping was about to fight with him, and hundreds of horsemen galloped to the east, when the first general held a human head and shouted: "Your Majesty, the minister Zhao Li is late to save the car, and the crime deserves death." The minister has stabbed the thief Wang Zhaohei, and the head is here! ”

Wang Boyan was so cold when he heard it in the city that he almost couldn't stand, but he didn't expect that it was his precious son who died first.

Zhao Gou said: "Aiqing came at the right time, what about your soldiers and horses?" ”

"The minister's 30,000 soldiers and horses have been surrounded on three sides, leaving only one west gate."

Zhao Gou couldn't understand, why did he have to leave a way. Qu Ping whispered: "Let him go all the way, lest they die and struggle, and the dog jumps over the wall." ”

Zhao Gou is right. He cried out to the tower, "Listen! At this time, Qu Ping saw a big iron sheet on the side of the street, so he rolled it up and made a horn and handed it to Zhao Gou. Zhao Gou was stunned for a moment, raised the horn to his mouth and said: "Listen, I remember that your life is not easy, as long as you are willing to put down the butcher's knife, I will be pardoned!" ”

The sound of the loudspeaker was like thunder, and the hearts of many soldiers were already spinning.

Huang Qianshan whispered what to do now, is it to withdraw or to fight?

Wang Boyan said: "The matter has come to this point, and there is only one way to go to the dark. With Concubine Pan and the prince, the only way to do this is to defect to the Jin Kingdom. ”

Huang Qian said fiercely: "Throw Li Gang and them into the well!" ”

"I'll do it myself!" Liu Zhengyan said.

The four of them quietly went down the city tower, and Miao Fu collected three thousand diehards and fled towards the west gate.

Everyone outside the palace waited for a stick of incense, but they didn't see any movement upstairs.

Qu Ping said: "Your Majesty, it is estimated that they have fled to the West Gate and closed the Internet café." After getting the emperor's nod, Qu Ping shouted towards the city tower: "Brothers and compatriots inside, is your Lord Wang and Lord Huang already gone?" At this time, the door is not opened to surrender, and when! If you wait for me to kill you, you won't have any armor left! ”

After a while, the palace gate opened. The forbidden army abandoned their troops and surrendered to beg for mercy.

Emperor Zhao opened his eyes and said, "You are all soldiers of the imperial court, I will pardon you and wait for your innocence!" ”

Wang Boyan and others rode horses, and a carriage pulled Pan Guifei's mother and son, out of the west gate of the palace and walked all the way, and then out of the west gate of Yingtian City, and when they arrived two miles outside the city, there were still no chasing soldiers.

Huang Qianshan was suspicious: "Did Zhao Gou really let us go?" ”

Miao Fu continued: "Then do you want to put Pan Guifei's mother and son back?" ”

Wang Boyan said: "No, this is our last hole card!" ”

Suddenly, a cavalry of 2,000 people rushed out from the front, and the general in front said: "I am Chen Chong, the vanguard under the command of the marshal Qu, surrender to the left, don't move if you die!" ”

The forbidden army was about to fight, and a rain of arrows hit a hundred meters away, and a large area was already lying down. Fifty meters later, another rain of arrows struck, and the forbidden army was in a mess, and there was no shield, only panic to dodge. Liu Zhengyan forcibly rallied the team, and a merciless arrow hit him in the cheek, shooting him to the ground.

Miao Fu shouted: "Lord Wang, Lord Huang, let's run, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood!" ”

Wang Boyan glanced at the imposing soldiers, turned their horses, and the three of them fled north with a part of their pro-army, and they didn't care about Pan Guifei's mother and son, and they took care of their own lives.

Chen Chong ordered someone to save Pan Guifei in the carriage, and continued to wave his army to attack the past, shooting crossbows from afar, slashing with spears and bayonets at near, killing the opponent. There was a desperate return to the horse to fight, and soon drowned under the horse's hooves.

Wang Boyan and the others fled to the river, robbed two small boats, and the general could only sit ten people, without horses. Huang Qianshan and Miao Fu got on the boat, and when they saw that Wang Boyan was still grinding, they were so anxious that they shouted: "Get on the boat!" ”

Wang Boyan looked at the rolling river, and suddenly felt a sense of heroic twilight, he pulled out his sword and put it across his neck and said, "Let's go, I'm tired." ”

Huang Qianshan said anxiously: "What are you talking about? Come on, it's too late to go! ”

"Da Da", the sound of the hoofs of the pursuers soon arrived. Wang Boyan turned his heart sideways, and the long sword touched the major artery in his neck, and blood splattered three meters high.

Two boats of ten people, finally took a look at Wang Boyan's body that was getting cold under the sunset, and rowed desperately towards the other side of the river.

In front of the Kouhua Palace, Zhao Gou led the big and small officials and some of Qu Ping's soldiers and horses, and the palace maids also came to pick up the car, which was crowded. The original forbidden soldiers and horses have all been transferred to the north of the city to be temporarily led by Jiang Boyan, and the emperor means to use them as strikers to fight gold soldiers, and it is not a good soldier to deal with the emperor's soldiers, and the emperor will definitely not give good fruit to eat.

Everyone looked around and didn't see Wu Wanyi, Li Gang, and Lu Ji, thinking that something had happened. Pan Guifei has been arrested, Wu Wanyi has no news, could it be that Zhao Gou is really going to be alone.

Wu Wanyi heard the movement and ran out of nowhere, Zhao Gou excitedly took Wu Wanyi's hand and asked, "Concubine Ai, where are you hiding just now, why didn't you find you, I died in a hurry." ”

Wu Wanyi told him that she pretended to be out of Gong and hid, Liu Zhengyan came to mention that she didn't find her, so she left in a hurry, and the emperor went to the backyard well to save Lord Li and Lord Lu, I'm afraid it's too late.

Everyone hurried to the backyard and removed the cover on the well, the mouth of the well was two feet wide, and the inside was dark. When the manhole cover was lifted, the people inside saw the light and knew that someone was coming, so they hurriedly called for help.

The two were rescued. Lu Ji was pushed down first and broke his left calf, but fortunately there was water in the well, otherwise his life would be in danger. Li Ganghou fell and fell on Lu Ji, but he just flashed his waist.

Li Gang and the others thanked the emperor and said, "If it is a little later, we will suffocate if we are not drowned." ”

Zhao Gou asked Li Ganglu Ji to sit down and rest, and passed the imperial doctor to come and see him immediately. Zhao Gou said emotionally: "Fortunately, there are two Qing families, otherwise I would have died!" Aiqing takes care of her body, and I have a bigger burden to hand over to you. Zhao Gou looked directly at the civil and military officials and said, "The Criminal Department and Ying Tianfu Yin Ke?" ”

"The minister is here." The Criminal Department Shangshu and Ying Tianfu Yin came out of the line.

"I order you to immediately arrest Wang Boyan, Huang Qianshan, Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and the relevant masterminds, and all the relatives within five suits, and behead them after the autumn! And teach the world, abide by the law, thank the emperor, and set an example! ”

"Obey the Order!"

Qu Ping said: "Your Majesty, these four people deserve to be punished for their crimes, but the minister thinks that it seems inappropriate to kill too much, and he is afraid of being criticized." ”

If it was persuaded by ordinary people, Zhao Gou would have scolded him a long time ago, but Qu Ping persuaded him, Zhao Gou still listened a little, he said: "Then all the people within the direct line will be beheaded, and the rest of the people will be sent to the official tutor workshop or workshop, and they will not be allowed to marry and have children, otherwise there will be no forgiveness!" That's it, no more talk. ”

Everyone was panicked in their hearts, and secretly decided in their hearts that they must do their duty well. Everyone went out of the palace and returned to their posts, and the rest of the trivial matters will not be repeated.

The original forbidden army had been stationed in the north of the city, and the city defense of the palace asked Qu Ping to leave 2,000 people from his army to bear.

That night, Zhao Gou invited Qu Ping to have dinner together in the palace, he said that such a day is too dangerous, and with Qu Aiqing here, I can rest assured. Qu Ping comforted, no one should dare to do such a thing in the future.

The emperor was happy today, and asked Wu Wanyi and Qu Ping to sit around a table and feast together. Zhao Gou said: "Ai Fei, you have suffered today, and I am now making you a concubine, are you happy?" ”

Wu Guifei hurriedly thanked him and said: "Thank you, the concubines, whether they are talents, or Wanyi or concubines, are all the emperor's women, the emperor is in trouble, and the concubines should share their worries." ”

Qu Ping admired in his heart, Wu Guifei was virtuous and virtuous, knowledgeable, and had a lot. Qu Ping said: "Congratulations to the concubine! ”

Wu Guifei said: "Lord Qu is polite, Lord Qu needs to continue to assist the emperor in the future, and the palace has thanked Lord Qu first." ”
