On the night of Chang'an, the situation changed greatly. Before the dawn comes, all kinds of news that is difficult to distinguish between true and false spread to the ears of many people through different channels. This dark night destined to be remembered in the annals of history, countless people could not sleep all night.

No matter what kind of power group they belong to, no one can continue to remain calm in the face of this momentous event that they are about to face. Almost all the people who could be sent out to hear the news were out overnight. And the news that came back one after another made people stunned and shocked overnight!

The hustle and bustle of the city caused by the "prince's rebellion" has not yet fully reacted to it, and then it was reported that after the Jiumen cavalry who was ordered to quell the rebellion chased out of Yong'an Gate, they were hit head-on by the elite cavalry that suddenly appeared and then fled in all directions, and the prince who was destined for a moment was saved!

This is quite surprising. If this was the earlier arrangement of the prince's forces, then the situation in Chang'an will be more complicated in the future. A firestorm seems inevitable.

Moreover, although many people have not yet known the specific situation, they have a vague premonition in their hearts that the reason why the soldiers and horses outside the West City Gate came so timely may be inseparable from the young marquis who has been away from Chang'an for many days. When I think of this, some people are excited, and some people are afraid and worried.

Immediately afterwards, news came out from the palace, and it was said that the emperor, in anger, had asked people to take back the queen's seal. When China and foreign countries heard this, they were all shocked. This is not a trivial matter, and this is the precursor to the abolition of the queen! Has it really come to this point that things are out of control?

And not long after, the news that spread from Wushengmen in Beicheng made the entire Chang'an in the night shake. The 20,000 elite soldiers of the northern army battalion followed the emperor's tiger command to enter Chang'an, but they did not expect to be intercepted by the elite cavalry that suddenly appeared three miles away from Chang'an City. And there are already well-informed people who can confirm that this cavalry is the Black Hawk Army!

The news is getting louder and louder. If these are true, it can really be regarded as the biggest chaos that Chang'an has faced since the pacification of the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms.

Countless people were paying close attention to the movements of Weiyang Palace in the dark. The sound of horses' hooves in Chang'an City has begun to resound, how will the situation develop in the next step, will it be full of blood or resolve the conflict? At this moment, the will of His Majesty the Emperor is of paramount importance!

On the Kunming Lake in the Weiyang Palace, the buildings and palaces are brightly lit. The Yulin Army and all the guards stationed here have strengthened their vigilance, as if they were facing a great enemy. Although the True Dragon Heavenly Son, who lived in the Ninth Realm, had never left the Yanbo Hall for a single step, all the news had already reached him as soon as possible.

Contrary to many people's suspicions, His Majesty the Emperor's face did not show obvious anger. A look of unknown meaning was hidden under the majesty, what he really thought in his heart, who could guess this mortal person?

Shi Yanzhu, who hurried back to report the news, fell to the ground with a sad look, and told the emperor what happened in Jianzhang Palace from beginning to end.

“…… It's Weichen and others who are incompetent! Your Majesty, please condemn you......! ”

When it came to the tragic situation of Su Wen, the squire of the Yellow Gate, who was killed and killed, Yan Zhu was already choked with grief and indignation, and he apologized again and again with a pestle. This scheming courtier knew very well that at this point, if he wanted things to develop in the direction they expected, he could never add any slander to the empress and crown prince in front of the emperor, as long as he told the truth. Of course, how to choose between the Spring and Autumn penmanship can only rely on your own ability to observe words and colors.

However, as he spoke, he was a little surprised when he secretly inspected the emperor's face, but he did not find any overly obvious joy or anger. Then he fell to the ground, not daring to say more.

"Speaking of which, it was the queen who refused to obey my will and instructed Huo Quai, who sneaked into the palace without permission, to kill Su Wen...... Is that so? ”

After a long silence, the emperor asked coldly, with an endless chill in his tone. When Yan Suke just wanted to answer affirmatively, his heart suddenly moved, and he quickly withdrew the words that came to his lips and shook his head slightly.

"Your Majesty, it was not the Queen's order to kill people. The queen had already agreed to hand over the seal, but she didn't expect Huo Quzhi to suddenly jump out and kill Su Shilang without saying anything, and then take the queen's seal back...... As for her boldness, who is the mastermind of this, it is not known to Weichen. Your Majesty, please be clear! ”

"Well, I don't think the queen will be like that! Huo Quzhi has always been arrogant and lawless, and he has made great contributions, and he has been tolerant several times, but he didn't expect to do such a thing again this time! No need to ask, there must be Yuan Zhao's instructions behind this...... Hum! Do they think that by such a method they can resist my will? It's just overwhelming! ”

"Your Majesty is aware of everything, and what he says is very true! Wechen also thinks so. His ill-intentioned intentions are really hateful! ”

Yan Suke, who lowered his head tightly, was secretly happy in his heart. His guess was not wrong, and the emperor really put all the sins on Yuan Zhao's head. Hum! Yuan Zhao, look where you are fleeing this time!

"Someone! Immediately sent Yulin Jun to raid the two Hou mansions of Yuan Zhao overnight to see what they found. I still don't believe it, what else can he do against the sky in my grasp! ”

"Your Majesty, ...... the Empress of Jianzhang Palace?"

"There's no need to rush this first. You send someone to tell Han Yue that he will keep the palace closed and no one will be allowed to enter or leave. Wait until tomorrow morning's court meeting, I will clearly tell the ministers and the world, so that everyone knows the reason why I have withdrawn the queen's seal, and at that time, I will see who will still be dissatisfied! ”

Yan Zhu hurriedly received the order and mobilized the Yulin Army to act separately. But when he heard the emperor casually order Xu Shi, the chief eunuch who had been waiting next to him, he had been waiting for a long time.

"You can go now. Outside the Wusheng Gate, Zhao Weiqing entered the city, didn't he say that the Black Eagle Army came back to offer prisoners? Then I will give him this opportunity, before tomorrow's court meeting, Hanyuan Hall will offer the palace to the prisoner, there must be no mistake! ”

"Slave obeys!"

Xu Shi took people, held the holy decree in his hand, and left the palace overnight. Yan Zhu's heart was shocked, it turned out that the rumors he heard on the way here were true...... The Black Eagle Army returned to Chang'an thousands of miles, and Chen Bingwu won the door! What is this trying to do?

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate to let Changping Hou Weiqing enter the city! What if ......?"

"What? Do you want to say that the Wei Qing will rebel? ”

"Wechen don't dare! But Your Majesty must not be on guard! ”

"Don't worry! I have my own arrangement...... It would be inappropriate to keep him in the army outside the city. Entering Chang'an City, even if it is a real tiger, there will be no threat. Now what makes me curious is just where will the two boys, Yuan Zhao and the crown prince, be? Hehe! ”

In the emperor's cold laughter, he stood up, took a sword as a staff in his hand, walked a few steps, surrounded by the guards to the window near the lake, the smoke and waves were vast, the stars and the moon were in the sky, and he couldn't help but sweep away the decadence and sickness of many days, and the pride in his heart was lurking.

"Prince, whether you are qualified to inherit the Great Han River, I have to take a good look this time. Hope you don't disappoint too much......! ”

The darkness stretches infinitely, and at the end of the night, the east will soon regain its light. Under the same starry sky, at the mouth of Qingyun Alley, at the head of Mingyue Tower, the people who were missed by the emperor were staying here waiting for news.

"Brother Yuan, the queen mother, they ...... Is it really going to be okay? ”

Looking at the lights of Weiyang Palace from afar, the crown prince Liu Ju asked again uneasily. And not far from him, the person who was silently watching several fires and turbulence in Chang'an City nodded slightly, and then replied in an affirmative tone.

"Don't worry, the prince won't be in turmoil in the palace tonight. Now that Your Majesty has learned of our entry into the city, it is expected that he will not force the Empress to do anything again until he has won the battle. ”

Although the worry in his heart was not completely removed, hearing this, the prince's anxiety was much calmer for the time being. After all, he had re-entered Chang'an City, only a few streets away from Weiyang Palace, and if things were really bad to that extent, he could rush to Jianzhang Palace as soon as possible...... And now the situation is different, and the most trusted friends are around.

"That'...... How long will we have to wait? Do you want to wait for news from your uncle? ”

"Prince, you must know that learning to wait will be the most important lesson in one's growth! In many cases, things go all the way. Try to avoid shedding some blood that should not be shed, and let some people who should not die let them live in peace...... If you can achieve success with the least cost, don't overuse your strength by force, I hope you will remember these principles in the future......! ”

Although the words were light, the good intentions and solemn attitude contained in them not only made the prince nod again and again. Even the large number of followers who were farther away from the two of them couldn't help but be moved.

The night quietly dispersed, and the white of the fish belly was already faintly visible in the east. Changle Hou Yuanzhao, who was dyed with a slight frost in the green silk, finally turned around. The calmness on his face seemed to have not changed over the years in everyone's impression. As long as it infects his breath, there seems to be an invisible force that supports the heaven and earth where it is located. Despite all the difficulties and dangers, there is no need to be afraid!

"Yuanhou, what else do you need me to do...... Please make it clear! Go to the soup and fight the fire, and never give up! ”

"Uncle Ji, you've done enough. These remnants of the Kyushu Hidden Gate in Chang'an City and many roosters and dog thieves can be quickly extinguished to avoid causing greater disasters, all thanks to your early detection and arrangement! Thank you very much! ”

"Where, where! Yuanhou has won the prize...... Ji Ying didn't dare to take credit. Where can these little people resist the blade of the Red Fire Army! The army entered the city, and it was destroyed in an instant. The righteous people I have gathered are only serving as a guide. Hahaha! ”

Ji Ying was very happy to be able to get Yuan Zhao's personal thanks. As he said, the cavalry of the Red Fire Army who entered the city from Yong'an Gate quelled the chaos that would arise in the city in the shortest possible time, and all the secret forces that had been painstakingly cultivated by the embroidered guards were killed. The ordinary people of Chang'an were not too disturbed.

"Let's go! After dawn, the ...... of the Great Dynasty will begin. ”

Yuan Zhao and the crown prince walked down the Mingyue Tower, and in the eyes of countless followers, their backs were very resolute.
