Above the palace, no one expected this to be the end. Prince Hong vigorously suppressed the ministers, announced several temporary decrees, and immediately announced his withdrawal from the court.

In the warm pavilion, only the eldest prince Zhao Deguang and the second prince Zhao Deqing guarded Emperor Yuning, and the crown prince Dezhang and the seventh prince Delong did not return to the warm pavilion after retiring from the court. In the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, the old eunuch Wei Dong accompanied the slightly tired Prince Hong and began to arrange the state funeral of Emperor Yuning.

A few days ago, Emperor Yuning issued several secret decrees. Since the Seventh Prince Delong was going to compete for the throne, Emperor Yuning had to make a new arrangement. The most important of these is to implore Prince Hong Zhao Shiyu to come out of the mountain and help him guard the Great Xia court. Emperor Yuning knew that he could not remove Dezhang from the position of crown prince, so he could only force Yu Banyu to die and break the net. In desperation, Emperor Yuning came up with such a plan, allowing the two princes to win the world with their military exploits. In this way, he obeyed the will of the people, and did not dare to cause public anger in the ban. What's more, Emperor Yuning ordered the military to order Zhang Zhao to be loyal to Prince Hong, so that Prince Hong could carry out the decree.

Emperor Yuning's deathbed layout had an unexpected effect, but his other important edict was like a stone sinking into the sea. The edict was addressed to Lord Huai, and Emperor Yuning ordered him to protect the safety of the Seventh Prince, Delong, in Beijing. But after the edict was sent, Emperor Yuning did not wait for Lord Huai to appear until his death.

Prince Hong looked at Wei Dong with a sad face, and said softly, "Manager Wei, this king can only do his best. I hope it will be in time, otherwise this king will have the trust of Yu Ning. ”

"Lord Wang, Your Highness the Seventh cannot afford to lose, this is the matter that Your Majesty has repeatedly explained to the old slave on his deathbed. The old slave implored the prince to send heavy troops to ensure the safety of His Royal Highness the Seventh. ”

"Alas~! The manpower in the hands of this king is only enough to protect the palace and the mansions of the emperor's relatives. In the whole of Kyoto, there is nothing the king can do. What's more, since this king is the regent, he needs a bowl of water. Otherwise, it will be difficult for this king to convince the people. Wei Dong, this king can allow you to use the Eight Iron Guards. ”

When Wei Dong heard this, he bowed down and knelt down, "Old slave, thank you to the regent." ”

Prince Hong waved his hand and motioned for Wei Dong to flatten down. Since he was dragged into this troubled water by Emperor Yuning, some things Prince Hong also found very tricky. After all, the power of Yu Ban in Kyoto is too great, and if it really fights to the death, it will be a disaster for the entire Great Xia. Therefore, Prince Hong did not dare to support Delong with great fanfare.

In the Xiangguo Mansion, Prince Dezhang's eyes were bloodshot, not because of the death of Emperor Yuning. He felt that there were too many people in this Kyoto who should be killed, Wu Guangguang should be killed, the seventh brother Delong should be killed, Duan Lang should be killed, and even Prince Hong, who was two generations older than him, should be killed.

"Lord Xiangguo, if this prince is not in a hurry, he can send troops, and none of those people can live." Prince Dezhang roared angrily.

"Calm down! The most important thing Your Highness should do at this moment is to calm down, not be carried away by anger. The succession of the kings of my Great Xia has not been smooth sailing. You can't bear this little setback, how majestic do you have to be the king of the future. Yu Ban said angrily.

Prince Dezhang's lips moved, but he didn't dare to speak. Dezhang held back his anger, and in this case, he did not dare to provoke Yu Ban.

Yu Ban was thinking about what time to start tonight, when he saw Gao Zhizan walking in in a panic.

"Xiangye, the big thing is not good, the streets and alleys of Kyoto are all reciting miracles in the Heavenly Master Palace. There were even a large number of people who went to the palace to kneel down and ask Delong to ascend the throne. ”

Yu Ban's body trembled slightly, and Dezhang clenched his fists even more, eager to roar out.

Yu Ban took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, "Carving insect skills, don't panic." As long as he kills that Shangguan Xuanwu and gives him a crime of bewitching the people, this matter will soon be settled. It is now crucial that they are not allowed to leave Kyoto alive. Zhizan, inform the city defense battalion to drop the gate immediately, and once Delong and the others are found out of the city, they don't have to wait for the order to shoot immediately. In addition, inform our men and horses that as soon as the time is over tonight, they will besiege the Heavenly Master Hall and leave no room alive. Inform the patrol battalion that there will be a curfew tonight, and no one will be allowed to go out on the streets. ”

"No!" Gao Zhizan agreed, and then asked, "Xiangye, do you want to notify the forbidden army?" ”

"Forbidden Army? Hmph, can the current old man of the forbidden army still move? I'm afraid that they are now, only Prince Hong can call on them. Don't forget that the current military aircraft order is Zhang Zhao, not Zhanfeng. Yu Ban said gloomily.

"Xiangye, if the forbidden army is dispatched, I'm afraid it will be a big deal." Gao Zhizan said.

Yu Ban nodded, "Don't worry, the old man didn't move the cavalry camp, it was prepared for the forbidden army." If Prince Hong really wants to intervene, then don't blame the true picture fish for breaking the net. ”

"The old servant understands, let's arrange it!" Gao Zhizan said yes and walked out.

Prince Dezhang looked at Yu Ban suspiciously, and couldn't help but say, "Lord Xiangguo, just the manpower in your mansion, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take down the Heavenly Master Palace." ”

Yu Ban sneered, "The prince doesn't have to worry, Ben Xiang knows that Duan Lang will not be a dozen people on the surface, and the Investigation Department has already sent news to Ben Xiang that they have ambushed a force of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses outside Kyoto." Therefore, the city defense army and the Kyoto cavalry guard are mainly to guard against this army of soldiers and horses. ”

The prince was stunned for a moment, "The Investigation Division sent you a message?" That~Lord Huai~! ”

"He has already received the old man's silver taels, and dealing with Duan Lang and others is the key to him." Yu Ban said proudly.

The prince looked at Yu Ban in surprise, but said worriedly, "Then Lord Huai is loyal to his father, so you are not afraid of him~ regret?" ”

"What about regrets, as long as Delong and the others can't get out of Kyoto, no one can try to keep him. Even if Prince Hong comes forward, it's a big deal to fight with the palace guards. The old man dared to do this, because he was afraid that Prince Hong would not have the courage to dare to go to war. ”

Prince Dezhang nodded, he looked at Yu Ban's gaze, and he was actually a little afraid. At this moment, Prince Dezhang suddenly felt that he was like a puppet, and Yu Ban was the owner of the thread.

In the Heavenly Master Palace, Duan Lang and the others were also discussing nervously. Zhou Guangji proposed that he must leave immediately, even if he fought out of the city gate, he could no longer stay in Kyoto, but the Seventh Prince insisted on waiting until after the great mourning.

Everyone was arguing, and they saw Ge Li walk in and say, "Duan Shuai, there is someone who wants to see you, and he said that he is from the Prince's Mansion." ”

"The Prince's Palace?" Duan Lang was stunned, and immediately thought that it was someone sent by Prince Hong, "Please." ”

After a while, a middle-aged man walked in, looked at everyone in the room, and said to Duan Lang with a fist.

"General Duan, I am in charge of the Prince's Mansion, and my prince asked me to send a letter." As he spoke, the middle-aged man handed Duan Lang a sealed bookbox.

After Duan Lang opened it, he took out the letter and looked at it, there was only one sentence on it, ~ Quickly take Delong out of Beijing.

Duan Lang's heart tightened, and he clenched his fists and said, "Please tell Prince Hong, I will thank you!" ”

"Say goodbye!" The middle-aged man left the Heavenly Master Hall very simply.

Duan Lang showed the letter to everyone and said to the Seventh Prince, "Don't think about anything, leaving the capital is the best choice." Xiang Tian, immediately released the harrier eagle Xiaobai, and told Zhou Long to lead the army to wait outside the West City Gate. Uncle Zhou, send out eyeliner to observe, and leave the city immediately if there is no problem. ”

After Duan Lang finished arranging, everyone immediately began to act separately. Seeing Prince Hong's handwritten letter, the Seventh Prince Delong no longer insisted. He understood that Prince Hong had no choice but to do this. But as long as he can suppress it, Prince Hong will not let him leave immediately.

After some checking, Zhou Guang remembered that the news was very unfavorable. The four city gates were closed ahead of schedule, and no one was allowed to enter or leave Kyoto today. Fortunately, they had already observed the terrain and knew that there was a weak link in the city wall that could be killed there. However, it is necessary to wait until after the evening shift. Otherwise, it will be too conspicuous during the day, and once discovered, it will be easy to recruit reinforcements.

Knowing that the city gate had fallen, Duan Lang's heart was a little uneasy. It seems that Yu Ban and they are also preparing to do it.

In the Detective Division outside the palace, Lord Huai personally summoned four admirals and three hundred secret agents. Winning people's money to eliminate disasters for others, as long as he kills Duan Lang and the Seven Princes and others tonight, he will disappear into the Great Xia Dynasty system from then on. No one knows who he is, and Lord Huai has already thought of a way out for himself.

In Kyoto, Great Xia, the sun sets in the west in an extremely tense atmosphere. The patrol battalion began to be dispatched, and the originally prosperous Kyoto began to have a curfew. When the doors are closed, the lights go out, and the whole of Kyoto is silent.

In the Heavenly Master Palace, Duan Lang was holding a Xuantie spear, and everyone was ready to go!
