The sound of gunfire in the early hours of the morning broke the silence of the Dongwang Mansion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although the sound of the fire cap is not as good as the sound of gunshots, it still startles many people from their dreams.

The inner courtyard of the East Prince's Mansion is separated from the outer palace by a central gate, and there are two large guard rooms on both sides of the middle gate, and there is a general who leads a hundred soldiers to guard it in shifts every day and night, and they are also asleep at the beginning. The shouts of tearing and killing outside came in, and the kingdom guarding the gate was stunned at first, and after the gunshot, he hurriedly woke up all the soldiers.

"Copy the guy!"

Just as he was ordering the soldiers to be on guard with knives and guns, he suddenly saw a guard in the front hall running naked, this guard was covered in blood and holding a short gun in his hand.

"What's going on?"

Wang Guoquan asked hurriedly

"Hurry, tell me about nine thousand years old, it is the king of the north who has brought troops in."

The guard's words made Super ask loudly and was immediately shocked, and in a hurry, he immediately ordered when he remembered his duty.

"Zhao Yunsi, a few of you and this brother went into the middle gate to report to the king of the east, please ask Your Highness to go out of the palace from the back door to take refuge temporarily, and send someone to climb the watchtower and beat the drum to summon the guards next to the palace to come to the rescue......"

Then he asked loudly and ordered the rest of the soldiers to open up and guard the middle gate, although they could not defeat the large group of men and horses in the north hall, but at least they could delay the time as much as possible, so that the East King could escape in time. It was only a moment, and Wei Changhui had already rushed in with his murderous troops.

Wang Guoquan, armed with a short spear, immediately shouted loudly:

"King Bei, why did you lead troops to break into the Dongwang Mansion late at night, you know that there are thousands of guards inside and outside the Dongwang Mansion, but it is not easy to mess with, know the current affairs, exit quickly!"

Seeing that the other party was ready, Wei Changhui did not break through, but took out the secret edict and said:

"The front is the king of the brigade, this king is not leading the army to make trouble, this king is the secret edict of the king of heaven, because of the conspiracy of the king of the east to usurp the throne, forced to seal long live, tonight only arrest the king of the east one, the rest of the soldiers are not guilty of pardoning, now the north hall, the wing hall army tens of thousands of troops have come to the city of heaven, the east hall soldiers are the subjects of the king of heaven, must not die for the king of the east, bring about their own destruction. Lay down your weapons quickly, and go back into the nursing room, and the king will not do any harm. ”

Hearing that Wei Changhui had received the secret decree of the Heavenly King, the kingdom couldn't help but be stunned, and then hesitated:

"I don't believe in the secret edict of the Heavenly King."

"Wang Guoquan, you are also an old brother of the kingdom of heaven, come and see, this king promises not to harm your life in the name of God."

Hearing the guarantee of the north, the kingdom went over to take a look in person, and saw that Wei Changhui really received the secret edict of the king of heaven, although he was the confidant of the king of the east, but after all, this was the will of the king of heaven, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said:

"King Bei, I can let you in, but you have to promise not to hurt the East King a single hair, the matter of the East King can only be decided by the Heavenly King, and we can only put down our weapons when we see that the East King is safe and sound."

Seeing that the other party believed in himself so easily, Wei Changhui would refuse, and hurriedly said:

"Okay, this king agrees to your request, and guarantees that the king of the east is fine, you can bring your weapons back to the nursing room, and don't come out, so as not to conflict with the brothers in the north hall."

Wang Guoquan ordered his subordinates to return to the house, and at this time, the follow-up troops of the North Hall killed all the soldiers of the East Hall of the Outer Guard, and rushed in one after another, and the King of the North left two hundred people to guard the guards on both sides, and then led the troops to break into the middle gate and broke into the Inner House of the East King.

At this time, Yang Xiuqing was sleeping with her concubine in the Liuxiang Pavilion in the back garden, and the guards who called the police didn't know where Dongwang was, so she had to shout loudly in the garden:

"Nine thousand years old, it's not good, the North King has brought in with his troops!"

The maid on duty at night in the Liuxiang Pavilion hurriedly woke up the East King when she heard the sound, and Yang Xiuqing, who was woken up, listened carefully, and sure enough, someone was shouting, and said with confusion:

"The king of the north is still ahead, and there was a post coming the day before yesterday, why did he enter the mansion?"

Who said that there was something strange in his heart, but he still hurriedly pushed away the concubine, hurriedly dressed and got up, and the guards who ordered people to shout brought over, and when he saw that one of them was covered in blood, he suddenly became no longer suspicious, and at the same time stomped his feet and scolded loudly:

"This surnamed Wei, dare to be the enemy of this king, and if he catches it, he has to divide his five horses."

"Your Highness, now that time is pressing, please ask Your Highness to leave the mansion for a while, and then mobilize your subordinates to capture Wei Changhui alive!"

Being persuaded by his subordinates like this, the angry Yang Xiuqing realized his current danger, and hurriedly took this group of guards to the back door in a corner of the garden.

"It's not good, the people from the north hall have climbed over the wall, Your Highness, go up to the watchtower."

Until this time Yang Xiuqing really panicked, he understood that the drumming and summoning soldiers had been far away from quenching the thirst, but there was no other way to go, so he had to be protected by the guards and ran to the watchtower in the other corner of the garden, the building is five zhang high, divided into three floors, each floor is guarded by five soldiers, day and night lookout, there are police and drums, nothing is to knock on the watch, when the Qing army approached the suburbs, this watchtower played a great role, now the personnel have not withdrawn, but it is only a watchtower. The king of the east ran to the watchtower, and the guards beside him shouted:

"Listen to the little ones on the watchtower, the East King personally came to the watchtower to inspect, come down and greet him!"

When the soldiers on the watchtower hurriedly went downstairs to kneel to greet them, there were already guards on the third floor and beat the drums.

"Knock knock, knock knock!"

The rapid sound of drums echoed in the night sky.

If in normal times, in the blink of an eye, there are guards in the palace to answer the call, and after a while, thousands of guards outside the house will also come to listen to the order in full armor, but tonight the guards in the palace have already been killed or confined in the nursing room, and the guards of the chamber outside the palace are also fighting to the death with the soldiers in the north hall, because Chen Chengying, the Marquis of Zuo Tian, rushed from the palace of the king at this time, proclaimed the will of the king, and broke the military heart of the east hall. When they surrendered their weapons, they were immediately put into custody.

Yang Xiuqing, who was on the watchtower, saw that the reinforcements did not arrive, and saw that the torches in the garden were bright, only to see a group of people and horses surrounded by triumphant Wei Changhui came to the watchtower, and he raised his head and shouted:

"Fourth brother, the younger brother is here for you, the second brother has something to discuss with you, come downstairs!"

Seeing Wei Changhui downstairs, Yang Xiuqing immediately scolded angrily:

"The surname is Wei, you mobilized the people and broke into my house, do you want to rebel?

Wei Changhui smiled:

"Don't dare, don't dare, the younger brother has received the edict of the Heavenly King to collect the military power of the fourth brother."

After saying that, he took out the secret edict and raised it, hid it in his bosom again, and shouted loudly,

"Fourth brother, those who know the times are Junjie, and your prestige has been enjoyed. Now that the fourth brother is at the end of your rope, the guards in the east hall have been eliminated, you go downstairs and tie your hands and arrest you, go to the Tianwang Mansion to ask the second brother for your guilt, and you can still spare you from death. Otherwise, hehe, today is your end! ”

Yang Xiuqing, who had been so angry, immediately scolded angrily when he heard this:

"It turns out that the second brother is in collusion with you! I was shrewd all my life, and in the end I fell into your hands! The Celestial Empire is supported by this king both inside and outside, if you kill this king, that is, destroy the Celestial Empire, don't you want to think about it? ”

Wei Changhui laughed proudly:

"Yang Xiuqing, you don't listen to the people, you indiscriminately raise the Northern Expedition, cut off a large number of brave soldiers, and let the Northern Expedition rout occupy Henan, otherwise the provinces south of the Yangtze River would have been in the hands of our Heavenly Army, and you still need to fight endlessly with the demon army! Thou hast committed another offence and insulted the king of heaven, and thou hast dared to force the title of Banzai, and thou hast plotted to usurp the throne, which is a great sin. The autocratic government, the cruelty of the ministers, the innocent killing of the loyal and brave soldiers are countless, the gods and men are angry, the soldiers are centrifuged, and they still want to be greedy for the merits of the sky, which is really shameless. If you die, it will be a great blessing for the Celestial Empire! Yang Xiuqing, needless to say, if you don't go downstairs and be captured, the younger brother will order the building to be set on fire, do you have to involve many soldiers to die with you when you die? ”

"Wei Changhui, you set the fire, don't try to coax me downstairs, if I die, my subordinates will avenge me, you must not die well!"

Yang Xiuqing's stubbornness made Wei Changhui immediately shout angrily:

"Set fire to this thief who deserves death!"

Dozens of torches gathered together, and the watchtower was immediately burned, and Yang Xiuqing looked up to the sky and shouted:

"Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother testify for me, my East King is not guilty of the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty, traitor Wei Zheng, you burn, burn this king, in the future, you will go to heaven, and you will be punished by Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother...... What are you going to do, let me go! ”

Before Yang Xiuqing finished speaking, he was carried up by several guards,

"Nine thousand years old, when it comes to the Heavenly King, the Heavenly King will naturally call the shots for the Nine Thousand Years Old, and the Heavenly King will not harm the Nine Thousand Years Old......

"Let go of me, what are you going to do......"

No matter how he screamed, scolded, and struggled, he carried down the stairs step by step. All the personnel on the watchtower came down, Yang Xiuqing was just put down on the ground, saying that a soldier immediately went up and tied his hands behind his back, Wei Changhui smiled fiercely:

"Yang Xiuqing, you owe the king and me too many debts, please return them today!"

So his chin was raised slightly, and a soldier from the North Temple who received the signal stepped forward and slashed Yang Xiuqing from behind, his head was immediately cut off, and his bones rolled to Wei Changhui's feet, as if his anger had not been vented, and his eyes were wide open.

Looking at the severed head, Wei Changhui was terrified, hurriedly hid his face and turned around, and shouted angrily:

"Hang the traitor's head in front of the Heavenly King's Mansion to show the public!"

"King of the North, how can you ......?"

Without waiting for the guards of the East Hall to repent, they should not have carried the East King downstairs.

"Kill them all!"

With a wave of Wei Changhui's hand, the soldiers of the North Hall rushed up and killed the two dozen or so guards together.

"Don't let go of any of the people in the East Palace, kill them all!"

Suddenly, under Wei Changhui's order, the once magnificent Dongwang Mansion was suddenly strewn with corpses all over the place. Only a few officials such as Fu Xuexian, the secretary of the East Palace, were hidden at the beginning, and when the soldiers of the North Hall ran to the back garden, they quickly escaped from the East Palace, raised their arms and shouted, gathered thousands of East Hall soldiers in the city to build a base on the street to fight against the North King, and the North Hall soldiers tore up, and the tearing in the city lasted for the whole day, and finally these people were all killed by the siege of the North Temple soldiers, or the corpses on the street, or the corpses were thrown into the Qinhuai River, and flowed into the Yangtze River along the river......
