The outer gate of the imperial city finally opened slowly, and a forbidden army general led a small team of officers and soldiers in front of the palace guarding the imperial city to walk out. ”

Fan Kui hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What about Lord Yun?" Is it safe? ”

This man said: "Waiting in the Ninghe Palace, there is the escort of King Yun's army, and it is safe for the time being." ”

Fan Kui and others are most concerned about this, as soon as they heard that Zhao Kai was safe, Fan Kui turned around and said to Zhao Tuo, the king of Zhennan: "There is not much time, life and death, success or failure, everything depends on the prince and you." ”

Zhao Tuo took out his saber, raised a command flag in his left hand and shouted to everyone: "Abolish the king, the king of Liyun, the Zhenchaogang, all the soldiers, the world is safe, based on this time, everyone will face the king with me, and anyone who blocks it is a thief, and it will be killed." ”

King Ding is the title of the prince of the East Palace Zhao Huan has not established the prince, and the Yun Wang Party put forward the slogan of "Abolish the King of Dingwang and establish the Yun Wang Zhen Dynasty Gang", and directly rejected the prince of the East Palace established by the imperial court, and still called him the king of Ding.

The warriors of Xinde Mansion led by Yang Yizhong and the other men of the Yunwang Party poured into the gate outside the imperial city with a shout, and they passed the Chaowu Gate until there was any obstruction, and it was not until the Xuande Gate that the forbidden army shouted: "Who dares to break into the forbidden land of the imperial city!" ”

Yang Yizhong shouted: "I'll wait until I meet Jun Shangguan's family, please get out of the way." ”

The forbidden army guarding the Xuande Gate shouted: "Trespassing on the Forbidden Palace is a capital crime, retreat quickly." His words were quickly drowned in a chaos, Zhao Tuo led the Yunwang party to rush over, the two sides looked at each other, the Yunwang party came prepared, and after slashing some forbidden troops, they attacked the Xuande Gate, and the forbidden army fled in a hurry, escaping into the main gate of the Daqing Palace.

Yang Yizhong led the people of Xinde Mansion to chase over, this Daqing Hall is an important place to hold a ceremony in the imperial city, Zhao Tuo shouted: "Find King Yun first to meet the official's house, and then come to Daqing Palace." ”

Yang Yizhong thinks about it, it is useless to occupy the Daqing Hall without King Yun, the Daqing Hall is very large, and it is easy to disperse the troops, and it is a waste of time to occupy the Daqing Hall at this time, which is different from the original plan.

So a greeting, led his subordinates to change their heads to the Ninghe Palace, this Ninghe Hall is in the inner city of the imperial city, the walls of the palace in the inner city are high and wide, some palaces are still waterways in the middle, forming a natural defensive line, Yang Yizhong led people to chase the back of the forbidden army, walking on both sides of the high wall of the road to go to the Ninghe Palace, the forbidden troops guarding each hall and each gate of the palace fought several times, were quickly beaten away by the Yunwang Party, and finally the forbidden army fled into the back of the Ninghe Palace, and closed the door at once.

Yang Yizhong was a step too late to lead the people, and failed to follow the forbidden army into the Ninghe Palace, and all the dead soldiers of the Xinde Mansion rushed forward, slapped the palace gate, and hit it with their shoulders, the gate of the Ninghe Hall was thick and heavy, and it was useless at all.

According to the original plan, even if this Ninghe Hall was not in the plan, if it was necessary to enter, there was a forbidden army that should open the door, but at this time, the guards inside closed the door tightly, and they could not enter the Ninghe Hall at all.

Zhao Tuo led everyone to the wall, and asked Yang Yizhong urgently: "Why haven't you found King Yun yet?" ”

Yang Yizhong said loudly: "The palace gate can't enter." ”

Zhao Tuo hurriedly said: "Hurry up and find a way to attack it, without further ado, the late ones will change." He didn't say that Yang Yizhong also knew that the Yunwang Party led everyone to storm the imperial city, and it also had the meaning of a surprise attack, if he couldn't quickly cut through the chaos and settle the big things, Kaifeng City was not only the Jing'an Army, and the Jing'an Army was not monolithic, if he couldn't surround the official Song Huizong in time and force him to issue an edict to pass on the throne to Zhao Kai, then when others reacted, it would be defeated.

Yang Yizhong shouted: "Shoulder and wall." He then instructed the others: "Go find another gate and break in." "Others had to be ordered to go, and then to find another gate.

The dead soldiers in front of them immediately went to the root of the wall, some squatted down and some stepped on the shoulders, ready to take a ladder to climb the wall into the Ninghe Palace, the high wall of the Ninghe Palace was more than twice as high as usual, and there was no place to climb, it was very difficult to rely on manpower to enter over the wall.

Fang Jinshi took Liu Huanqing and ran under the wall, seeing that he had rushed to the front of the Ninghe Palace, but he couldn't rush into the palace, and he was also in a hurry.

The preparation for this robbery of the palace was very insufficient, the plan was insufficient, and I didn't think of going over the wall to attack the palace, someone finally found a ladder, but the ladder was too short, so the two climbed to the top of the ladder, and the people below lifted it together, wanting to send the two people on the head of the ladder to the wall.

The two of them had just been sent to the top of the adjacent wall, reaching out to climb the wall, when several forbidden soldiers suddenly jumped on the inner wall, stood on the wall with knives and guns, and immediately cut the two of them into flesh and fell down.

Yang Yizhong and Zhao Tuo were all taken aback, followed by a fire on the top of the gate of the Ninghe Palace, the two generals of the forbidden army held torches high, and a thin middle-aged scribe climbed up to the top of the gate of the Ninghe Palace, everyone looked up together, and the middle-aged scribe did not wait to stand firmly, so he shouted below: "Is it Zhao Tuo, the king of Zhennan, who is coming below?" ”

Zhao Tuo raised his head and looked at the scribe and said, "Who are you?" ”

The middle-aged scribe said loudly: "I am Xiong Che, a member of the prince's east palace, and I have just been favored by the official family tonight, and I am worshiped as a Chinese scholar. ”

Fang Jinshi saw Xiong Che suddenly appear in the palace, and he felt bad, this Xiong Che is cunning and has means, but he is far from being comparable to the crown prince Zhao Huan, he is the prince's teacher, and naturally he wants the prince to ascend the throne.

Xiong Che did a good job as a prefect in Pingjiang, Huaidong, and was suddenly recalled to Bianliang in a hurry, naturally for the sake of the prince's imminent ascension, if what he said was true, tonight he was just promoted by Song Huizong from a five-rank prefect to a third-grade deputy minister, then in the emperor's mind, Zhao Huan must be established immediately.

Zhao Tuo replied loudly: "The siege of the city by the Jin soldiers outside the city is imminent, and the courtiers have not seen the official family for several days. ”

Xiong Che suddenly shouted: "Bold! As a descendant of Taizu, the king of Zhennan guarded the border on behalf of the official family, and it was a big mistake not to enter Beijing by edict, and he led the army to come late at night, are you going to rebel? ”

Zhao Tuo said in a loud voice: "You are talking nonsense, the official family has not seen you for a few days, this critical juncture is very unusual, is there a collaborator who controlled the official family and closed the palace gate, it is also the last know, please open the palace gate of the forbidden army and let me wait to go in to meet the official family, I am relieved." ”

Xiong Che said: "The envoy of the imperial city is the third brother of King Yun, are you saying that Lord Yun is a traitor to the enemy?" ”

Zhao Tuo was speechless for a while, Fang Jinshi was very anxious when he saw that Zhao Tuo and Xiong Che were fighting at this time, Zhao Tuo wanted to trick Xiong Che into opening the gate of the Ninghe Hall and letting everyone in, that was too underestimating Xiong Che, he was in a hurry, so he ran to Zhao Tuo and whispered: "King Zhennan, you said that we want to see King Yun." ”

Zhao Tuo, the king of Zhennan, bent down and said, "What if he asks Prince Yun to come out and let us withdraw from the army?" ”

Fang Jinshi said: "He can call King Yun over a long time ago, he doesn't need to come forward himself, King Yun is really coming, we can't do anything if we don't retreat." ”

Zhao Tuo, the king of Zhennan, was still hesitating, Fang Jinshi knew that time could not be delayed, so he said loudly: "Governor Xiong, we want to see King Yun." ”

Xiong Che looked down, Fang Jinshi was standing in the dark, he couldn't see who was talking, but it was familiar, so Xiong Che said: "Which one wants to see King Yun, stand in the light and speak." ”

Fang Jinshi hurriedly said to Yang Yizhong: "Don't worry about him, it makes sense to find a way to attack it." ”

Yang Yizhong greeted, and the dead soldiers began to act again, Xiong Che saw it from a high place, and hurriedly said: "You stop first, I'll go and invite King Yun to come." He turned his head to go down, and then turned back and said, "If you mess around again, King Yun's life will not be guaranteed, you have to think clearly." After saying this, he went down to the wall with the two forbidden soldiers.

The threatening tone of his words was very heavy, Yang Yizhong was discouraged all of a sudden, and ordered his subordinates to stop climbing the wall, and Zhao Tuo's anxious jumping feet was also impossible, no one thought that everyone worshiped God together, but God was gone, and the rat bogey device was scared first.

Another group of people came over and reported to Yang Yizhong: "The city could not be attacked, and many brothers were lost. ”

Yang Yizhong hurriedly said: "Go find a ladder, find a sledgehammer and axe to smash the door and smash the wall, and as soon as King Yun shows up, they will attack it together." "These subordinates feel embarrassed, they are unfamiliar with life in the imperial city at this time, where to find a ladder and a hammer, but they don't dare to disobey the order, so they have to find it.

Fang Jinshi said to Zhao Tuo: "This Xiong Che is just delaying time, the longer the time, the more dangerous we will be." ”

Zhao Tuodao: "Then what should I do?" No one knows if what he said is true or not, and what if it is? ”

Fang Jinshi hurriedly said: "Whether it's true or not, you can't wait here stupidly, and you have to rush to the Ninghe Hall if you die." ”

Zhao Tuo was still hesitating, Fang Jinshi snatched his order flag, and said loudly: "Lord Yun has an order, immediately rush into the Ninghe Palace, and if you see Lord Yun first, the official will be promoted to the third level and rewarded with one hundred taels of gold." ”

His false order was really compelled to do so, and he had already stayed in front of the gate of this Ninghe Palace for more than half an hour, and if he didn't break into the door again, this trip would fail, and everyone knew what the consequences of failure would be.

Yang Yizhong shouted after hearing this, there must be a brave man under the heavy reward, although everyone did not distinguish the true from the false at this time, but he made the flag in his hand all believe, and his emotions were all high, so that the heavy weapon smashed the gate and the wall, and someone found another wooden ladder to come.

After all, Fang Jinshi had been to the battlefield of the Northwest Army and had seen the siege of the city, and he noticed that there was a stone pillar with the thickness of a hexagonal jar more than one zhang high against the wall on the right side of the gate of the Ning He Palace, and there was a stone platform next to it. ”

Fortunately, this stone pillar was not buried deep in the ground, but was placed on the ground with a base, and the dead soldiers of Sindhok Mansion came in a group and put the stone pillar down, and dozens of people carried it to the gate of the Ninghe Palace, just like a rushing car used to attack the city.
