Han Ruzi rushed into the palace, and corpses could be seen everywhere, including unlucky eunuchs and palace maids, people from the rivers and lakes who did not know their origins, and some tolerances, most of whom were stabbed in the back, and were obviously killed in the process of escaping.

Han Ruzi was thinking about his mother and Xiaojun, and after riding a horse and galloping through an open door, he suddenly reacted that the palace was unguarded, and he not only accidentally rushed into the north gate, but also unexpectedly occupied the palace.

He grabbed the reins and gave a detailed order to the soldiers who followed him: some of them returned to the north gate of the palace to ensure that the road to the city gate was unblocked, this road was not too long, but it was the life path of Han Ruzi, and the troops outside the city must continue to rush in to ensure the victory.

He sent another group of officers to explore the way in all directions of the palace, and wherever he went, he loudly announced that the Tired Marquis was coming, and those who were willing to come out to meet him were all sent to the courtyard in front of the Tongxuan Palace.

Han Ruzi galloped in the direction of the Empress Dowager's dormitory, followed by only a hundred soldiers, who shouted in unison every once in a while: "Tired Marquis is coming!" ”

More than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids came out halfway, kneeling in front of the tired Hou Ma and weeping bitterly, Han Ruzi had some impression of one of the eunuchs, so he ordered everyone to get up and ask about the whereabouts of Wang Mei and Mrs. Tihou.

These people didn't know, but they were very willing to help, leading the way, and quickly found out more palace people, and a palace maid knew that the residence of Mrs. Tihou was near the queen mother's bedroom.

Han Ruzi saw the smoke from a distance, and was shocked in his heart, taking the lead and running faster.

The entire courtyard had burned down, but fortunately it was an orphan yard, and the fire had not spread to other places, and now only some flames and thick green smoke remained.

Han Ruzi stood in a daze for a while, and the soldiers and palace people stepped forward to extinguish the flames, and carried out six corpses, all of which were burned to the point that they were all women.

No one could recognize the identity of the corpse, and Han Ruzi felt uncontrollable anger, jumped off his horse, and strode towards the Queen Mother's bedroom.

"Open the door." Han Ruzi ordered and pulled out the knife with his hand.

Two soldiers stepped forward and smashed the door, and soon a voice came from inside: "Who? ”

The soldiers glanced at each other, and one of them replied, "Tired of coming, open the door immediately." ”

There was a sound in the door, the two soldiers retreated, Han Ruzi strode forward with a knife, the soldiers guarded the left and right, but many palace people who appeared when they heard the news knelt on the ground in horror, not daring to move, nor daring to persuade each other.

The door opened, Han Ruzi was startled, three women stood in the door, and one of them was his mother. Han Ruzi threw down the knife, knelt down, and called "mother" in surprise.

Wang Meiren did not have the joy of reunion after a long absence, and said flatly: "Get up, don't kneel in front of others." ”

Han Ruzi stood up, and a boulder fell in his heart, "It's okay if my mother is fine, what about Xiaojun?" Also here? ”

Wang Meiren didn't answer, but asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"I ...... I'm here to help...... I came to my mother and Jun. ”

"Son, at this time, you have to understand the priorities, the court is important, the wife and mother are light, the capital is urgent, and the palace is slow."

"Yes."

"Do you know what you have to do?"

"Well......" Han Ruzi actually had a plan in his heart, but he became a little overwhelmed in front of his mother.

"Immediately go to the Tongxuan Hall to summon the ministers, invite them, beg them, and accept all their conditions, but you can't use force, understand?"

"Understood."

"Forgive everyone, even the most evildoers, they will be condemned by the Queen Mother, not you, understand?"

"Ming...... White. Han Ruzi agreed a little reluctantly, which was slightly different from his plan.

Wang Meiren stepped forward, beckoned her son to bow his head, and said in his ear: "The top priority is to restore your identity, as long as you are willing to admit that you are the emperor, anyone can forgive, at least temporarily, and you will have a chance in the future." As for those who refuse to admit it, let them escape, and if they fall into your hands, they will also be handed over to the Queen Mother. No matter what outsiders think or think, the Queen Mother is still the Queen Mother, and you must prove it to everyone. ”

Shangguan Sheng slaughtered the palace people and escaped from the capital, the queen mother couldn't get out of it, in the eyes of most people, the queen mother has plummeted, and it is lucky to be able to save her life, but Wang Meiren asked her son to show more respect.

Han Ruzi didn't understand very much, stared at his mother's eyes for a while, and was sure that his mother was not coerced and what she said was true, before he nodded, "Yes, mother." ”

"Go, from now on, your words and deeds must be in line with the emperor's identity."

"Yes." Han Ruzi didn't move, "I have to see Xiaojun." ”

Wang Meiren's eyes showed sternness, and after a while, she softened again, and said softly: "She's not here." ”

Han Ruzi's heart sank.

"Don't let the people behind you down." Wang Meiren said.

Han Ruzi turned around to look, more than 100 soldiers of the Southern Army and the Northern Army were looking at him blankly, these people were entering the palace for the first time, holding weapons, they didn't know etiquette, they didn't have any idea what to do next, they just stared at the tired marquis, waiting for his order.

More and more eunuchs and palace maids were coming from their hiding places, kneeling far away.

Han Ruzi bowed deeply to his mother, walked into the group of eunuchs and palace maids surrounded by soldiers, called up a few people with the highest status in costumes, and ordered them to close the palace gates everywhere, clean up the corpses, and when they saw the soldiers, let them all go to meet the Xuandian, and all the palace people who had nothing to do followed him.

The dazed atmosphere that hung over everyone's heads disappeared, and the officials took orders, feeling that the palace was about to return to the calm they had been waiting for.

Han Ruzi walked and entered the courtyard in front of the Tongxuan Hall through a corner gate, and the number of soldiers behind him had increased to more than three hundred, and there were more than one hundred palace people.

But he wasn't the only one who arrived.

After the slaughter of the Su Guards, the guard of honor in front of the Tongxuan Palace was gone, replaced by another group of soldiers, close to a thousand people, all armed with knives and guns, and there were two people standing first, it was Cui Hong and the uncle and nephew of the East China Sea Wang, they did not ride horses, which was regarded as respect for the Tongxuan Palace.

They entered from the south gate, guarded the door, did not go deep, most of them looked up at the towering Tongxuan Palace, like a group of tourists who strayed into the palace.

Han Ruzi and the others entered from the northeast corner, and the two groups quickly discovered each other and observed each other across the entire courtyard.

The number of soldiers on Han Ruzi's side was much smaller, but he only hesitated in place for a short time, and walked forward, the soldiers followed behind, holding their weapons tightly in their hands, especially those soldiers of the Southern Army, who recognized Da Sima and couldn't help but feel nervous and panicked.

Han Ruzi did not walk directly to Cui Hong, but turned to the bottom of the steps of the Tongxuan Palace, where he was far away from the other party.

The two sides were silent for a while, and the King of the East China Sea was the first to speak, shouting: "Han Ruzi, surrender, you have few soldiers, not an opponent." ”

Han Ruzi whispered a few words to the soldiers around him, and the soldiers said loudly: "The rebellion in the capital is the misfortune of Dachu, the ministers are innocent, the soldiers are innocent, and the people of the world are innocent. ”

The King of the East China Sea was stunned and said, "Is Han Ruzi also crazy?" Uncle, don't listen to his nonsense, send troops to chop him into pulp, and we will have no more enemies. ”

Cui Hong snorted, did not give an order immediately, he saw that there were people running from all the gates around the courtyard, there were not many of them, but there was an endless stream, most of them were soldiers, there were northern troops, there were also southern troops, and there were still some palace people, and they all ran to the small number of tired marquis, not the king of the East China Sea who had the advantage of troops.

There are nearly a thousand soldiers behind Cui Hong, and there are more soldiers on standby outside the palace, so he can indeed rush up and kill the tired marquis, but this is not something that can be done in a moment and a half, it will take some time, during this period, who knows how much support the tired marquis can get and what will happen?

"Uncle, what are you thinking? We've got a plan, we can't miss it, we can't miss this time...... There will never be a next time. ”

Cui Hong had promised many things in front of the King of the East China Sea, but the situation changed faster than he expected: the main force of the Northern Army arrived, the Su Guards and the Southern Army outside the city collapsed, and the Tired Marquis rushed into the capital and even entered the palace all the way to the Tongxuan Palace, but he and the King of the East China Sea delayed the opportunity because of several hesitations and arrived one step late.

Cui Hong looked at his son-in-law in the distance, and then turned his head to look at his nephew, "When you are truly the emperor, how will you deal with the tired marquis and Shangguan Sheng?" ”

"Of course it's killing, can it still leave a legacy behind?" The king of the East China Sea was inexplicable, he didn't understand why his uncle was asking at this time, and he didn't understand what there was to ask, the people he wanted to kill were not only Tihou and Shangguan Sheng, but also more people, those who had offended him and refused to help at the critical moment......

Cui Hong exhaled heavily, he had never been optimistic about the tired marquis, and he was afraid of this son-in-law's ability, but when it came to the end, he found that he had no choice.

"Put down your weapons." He gave an order to the officers and men of the Confederate Army, "The battle is over. With that, he drew his saber and threw it on the ground.

The knives and guns fell to the ground one after another, and the King of the East China Sea was shocked, "Uncle, what are you doing here?" We obviously occupy ......"

Following Cui Hong's fingers, the King of the East China Sea was speechless, and a group of Northern Army flags were entering the courtyard through the northwest corner gate, which meant that the main force of the Northern Army had arrived.

The superiority of the Southern Army could only be maintained for this small meeting.

The king of the East China Sea turned around to leave, but Cui Hong grabbed his nephew's arm, "Where are you going?" ”

"You can go anywhere, in short, I don't want to be a prisoner."

"The Weary Marquis will forgive you."

"He's lying!" The king of the East China Sea was anxious and angry, "He is buying people's hearts, waiting for him to become the emperor......"

"Da Chu still has external troubles, and the real emperor understands the importance of compromise."

"I don't ......" the king of the East China Sea suddenly understood, "Xiaojun is the queen, Cui Teng is a lackey for the tired marquis, you have been prepared, and you don't really support me to seize the throne at all!" ”

Cui Hong didn't want to explain more, let go of his nephew's arm, and motioned for the guards to step forward and stop the king of the East China Sea.

Han Ruzi stood in front of the steps, saw the soldiers of the Southern Army put down their weapons, and saw all kinds of people pouring in from the gates: the banner of the Northern Army coming in from the northwest gate, the leader was really Chai Yue; Walking through the west gate were the palace people and a large number of scholars, Cai Xinghai and the soldiers of the tribe guarded them; There are also ministers who came in from the east gate, they didn't wait for the summons, they came by themselves, and this was the first time they took the initiative to appear in the whole process of fighting for the throne.

No one gave an order, but the soldiers around him automatically retreated, and let go a few steps away, Han Ruzi turned around and walked up the stairs step by step, and suddenly saw Cui Xiaojun coming out of the northeast gate, she was actually with Yang Feng, surrounded by a group of people dressed as guards.

Han Ruzi felt that Xiaojun saw him, so he showed a smile.

He didn't go to the top of the Danqi, it wasn't the time yet, he stopped and turned after a dozen steps, no one followed, and the person closest to him was ten paces away.

"Hooray!" A sudden cry rang out in the courtyard, drowning out all the noise, all loyalty and betrayal, faith and doubt, familiarity and strangeness.

Han Ruzi looked over and found that there were so few familiar faces, and there were even fewer people who could be trusted.

He suddenly understood why his mother had asked him to forgive everyone.

From now on, he will finally have to face the whole world, not just one by one, batches of enemies.
