If nothing else, a coup d'état that has been in the dark for a long time. At this point, the winner is generally clear. The prince is indecisive and timid, Wei Su has illusions and is immeasurable, and the emperor has big roots and deep yin and spicy, and he is always steady, accurate and ruthless in his response to counterattacks.

Jumping beam clown, how can he be a king? The emperor's words were full of arrogance, which made Yang Zhi unconsciously disgusted, and at the same time, he also surged with a sense of loss: Phew! Luckily, the opponent you bumped into was the prince's! …… In the eyes of your old thing, should Lao Tzu also be classified as a clown who jumps off the beam?

I saw the emperor striding outside the courtyard and said loudly: "Listen to the order!" From now on, you are no longer a small lieutenant in the cavalry battalion directly under General Zhou, and I will give you the title of vanguard general! Your two thousand ironclad sergeants will be organized as my personal guards on the spot, and they will be escorted into the palace immediately! ”

If Yan Fang is a person who lacks two pounds in his head, he will definitely not be regarded as a confidant and entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the wise and foolish Zhou Ting. Although Deng Shi was surprised and delighted, he immediately had a worried look in his eyes, and he couldn't help but sneak a glance at Yang Zhi. But Yang Zhi was expressionless and silent, where did he have the heart to take care of him?

At this time, Yan Fang couldn't tolerate the slightest room for muttering, and he said, "Huh?! This one...... Thank you, Lord Longne! ”

The emperor's will is tantamount to completely tearing his face and openly declaring war on the crown prince. Now the situation has become one-sided, and although it is extremely optimistic for the emperor, it is not yet completely clear. From the point of view of the emperor's personal safety. Now that he has made a high-profile appearance, it is somewhat out of place. The emperor's attitude was so resolute that Yang Zhi and Qin Yong glanced at each other, knowing that persuasion was useless, so they silently stopped admonishing.

How sharp were the emperor's eyes? Raised his head and laughed, "What? A world-famous general who has taken the rank of a general in a million-strong army, a secret weapon master who has been in the rivers and lakes for decades, and a 2,000 ironclad erlang under the command of an emerging general, can't he protect me alone? Don't say that others don't believe it, I don't believe it! ”

The emperor is not a clever general, as if he is comforting himself, but also like comforting Yang Zhi, Qin Yong and Yan Fang. Only then did Yang Zhi know that Qin Yong, who seemed to be dying, turned out to be a senior master of secret weapons, no wonder he would be accepted by Qin Gong as a personal servant, and the master and servant were both strong in tinkering with shady things, which was also very compatible.

The fate is the emperor's own, even he said so, what else can the three of them say? Since you can't wait to shake the majesty, then you can shake as much as you like!

The emperor compared Yan Fang with Yang Zhi and Qin Yong, calling him an emerging general, which obviously had the intention of buying people's hearts casually. I don't want Yan Fang to have a bit of goods in his belly, and he didn't mess up the rules and regulations because he picked up the title of vanguard general of the emperor's personal guard.

As soon as he went out, he ordered his subordinates to fire 2,000 sergeants to assemble at the intersection of the street. Then he shouted, "Brothers! Today, we are called to implement a curfew and settle in the East City to supervise the city, but in fact, we are here to welcome the emperor by the secret order of General Zhou! I inherited the emperor's favor, and I have been promoted by the emperor himself as a vanguard general, and the brothers are the emperor's escort and personal guards from now on! The Flying Tiger Marquis of Megatron personally accompanies him, which is proof of this! ”

The emperor, who was still waiting in the courtyard, heard it clearly. couldn't help but nod approvingly: "It is rumored that I am seriously ill, and I am not in the palace but I appear here, and the soldiers will inevitably feel suspicious and feel strange. In order to dispel the doubts in the hearts of the sergeants, this kid roughly explained the ins and outs of the future in a few words, and brought up the famous Flying Tiger Marquis as circumstantial evidence, which shows that Zhou Ting's vision of employing people is really not bad! Son, it's time for me to play with you! ”

In order to fully cooperate with the emperor's appearance, Yang Zhi stepped out of the door first, walked to the brightest place under the torchlight, held the imperial gold medal high above his head, put on a majestic posture with a solemn expression, and said loudly: "I am Yang Zhi, the first-class Flying Tiger Marquis of Great Xia!" The emperor is here in person, and you still don't want to visit the driver? ”

In the minds of millions of Xia soldiers, Yang Zhi was widely worshiped as a god-like figure. He suddenly appeared in the East City before dawn, and he had already spread among the sergeants. At this time, I suddenly heard that the emperor had arrived, and all the soldiers were like being in the middle of a rough sea, and the shock in their hearts was higher and higher, and they were all excited and inexplicable. Under the leadership of Yan Fang, he shouted long live, and performed the face of the monarch three kneels and nine bows according to the rules.

The emperor's appearance was very stylish, and the edict after his appearance was also very simple and neat: "Sons and daughters." Follow me into the palace! ”

Yan Fang had already realized that he had been involved in a turbulent sea if he was careless, and if the emperor was missing half a head, he would not be able to escape the blame. The emperor is proficient in battle formations and looks down on the world, Yang Zhi became a god in a battle, regardless of his identity and status, in Yan Fang's mind, the two are undoubtedly top experts who are good at attacking, defending, and killing. After consulting the emperor and Yang Zhi, around the emperor as the center, Yang Zhi and Qin Yong accompanied the left and right, and Yan Fang deployed 2,000 ironclad soldiers into three lines of defense inside and outside. Although the emperor has revealed his identity in a high-profile manner, Yan Fang is still not publicized, and the current leader of the army is in front, and he strictly ordered the soldiers to only play with the spirit of 120,000 points, speed up their pace and bury their heads in the direction of the palace.

Yan Fang's performance at such a critical juncture was not only calm and cautious, but also decisive and swift. The emperor couldn't help but admire: "In time, this son will be able to take charge alone." It seems that I, the vanguard general, am a little late in giving the seal! Don't forget to pay attention to the backward talents for me, which can also show Zhou Ting's loyalty! ”

Since the emperor's accession to the throne, the rule of Bactria has been relatively clear. Although the world is in turmoil, Chang'an has still been built into a huge city that is not inferior to Jinling and magnificent Yandu. During the decades of Chang'an's reign, there were only a handful of days when a city-wide curfew was imposed. Even if the people of Chang'an don't know anything about it, they can guess that there must have been a major change in the DPRK. It is pitch black with the doors of every house closed, and the huge Chang'an Street Market is shrouded in a quiet slaughter that has been rare for decades, full of suffocating depression that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings.

Walking all the way to the palace, he met several times with the sergeants under Wei Zhigao, the commander of the capital who was ordered to patrol the city. When passing through several palaces of princes and ministers, I also saw the sergeants under the command of Commander Zhang An on duty as if they were facing a great enemy. Yan Fang was responsible for escorting and trembling, but the emperor did not shy away from his identity, and from time to time he dismounted and chatted with the sergeant on the road. After Wei Zhigao and Zhang Ande, who were bluffed into leading the troops, reported the news, they almost crawled to see the driver. is also a close lieutenant of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion directly under the general of the forbidden army, Zhou Ting, these two are obviously not as lucky as Yan Fang. The emperor was already familiar with the black gauze hat of how to use his hands, and at this juncture that was driving people to work hard, he did not plan to have a price reduction sale, and casually gave Wei Zhigao and Zhang An as the vanguard generals as before, just a few words of praise and encouragement with a pleasant face.

But when there is a great change in national affairs, it is not a sword and a sword, and life is like a mustard. It has been more than four hours since Zhou Ting brazenly imposed a city-wide curfew at dusk yesterday with the momentum of a tiger washing his face. Geng Tong led 15,000 soldiers and horses to take over the city defense of Chang'an, Wang Wenguang, a cavalry general, led 8,000 soldiers and horses to guard the palace, and Zhang Antong, the commander of the capital, led 3,000 soldiers and horses to guard the palaces of princes and ministers. In other words, with only the 30,000 henchmen selected by Zhou Ting, who was loyal to the emperor, the prince's party didn't even have a chance to jump off the wall in a hurry! At this moment, I don't know how the prince and Wei Su feel?

Yang Zhi watched coldly, knowing that the emperor's behavior was not as simple as the arrogance of "I, Hu Hansan, are back". As the saying goes, ginger is still old and spicy, and the emperor intended to show that he was still the irreplaceable master of Great Xia, and the empire he created was still under firm control. At the same time, whether it is a bloodless attempt to resolve the current crisis, or a useless fight by the princeling party, it has made enough preparation for cleaning up the mess in the future. Yang Zhi believes. Even if the emperor has the intention to exterminate the Wei family and execute the crown prince Ling Chi in the future, the people of Chang'an will not be too surprised.

Now the prince's only reliance, and the emperor's last concern, is that the prince pretends to use the emperor's stand-in in the palace to fake and talk about the truth, or take King Yue and many concubines hostage in an attempt to get out of the world. Not all of the 3,000 internal guards are loyal to the crown prince, as long as the emperor shows up outside the palace gate, at least half of the guards will immediately defect, and the worst will be neutral and wait and see. Yan Fang and Wang Wenguang have a total of 10,000 elite forbidden troops in one place, and it is not as easy as playing the palace to capture the palace? At the juncture of whether or not he can keep the throne. What is the life of King Yue and many concubines in the eyes of the emperor? Prince, Prince, not only do you not have the opportunity to jump off the wall in a hurry, but even whether you can save your life depends on your father's mood!

During the ups and downs of Yang Zhi's thoughts, he suddenly felt the commotion of the people in front of him, and he looked up and saw that he had arrived outside the main gate of the inner city of the palace. Wang Wenguang, the general of the cavalry, led 8,000 soldiers and horses, and surrounded the entire imperial city so impenetrable that not even a fly could fly out. The tall and strong gatehouse of the main gate of the inner hall is densely packed with more than 1,000 inner court guards, all of whom are fully armed with swords and swords, keeping an eye on the movements of the forbidden army and horses guarding the periphery of the palace gate, and they don't even dare to come out. Wang Wenguang besieged the imperial city but did not attack, and Zhao Tianyang, the general of the Inner Court Guard, secretly complained bitterly in his stomach, and wanted to question Wang Wenguang face to face about the theory, but because he had a ghost in his heart, he was afraid that he would not be able to come back, so he had to strengthen himself and have the courage to go upstairs and ask in person. The Praetorian soldiers and the guards of the Inner Court had been facing each other for four hours in the night in almost insane tension and anxiety. The light of the fire burning under the gatehouse illuminates the inside and outside of the palace gate as bright as day for several miles.

Yang Zhi rose to prominence because of the selection of generals in the forbidden army and Geng, who was known as the first fierce general of Great Xia at that time, and was later famous by the emperor with the altar of the gods, not only the inner court guards were no strangers to him, but most of the senior generals of the forbidden army in Beijing were proud to have met him. He was dressed in green clothes and armor, carrying a strong bow, wearing an arrow bag and a single knife at his waist, and his face was full of frost and murderous spirit. Under the light of the fire, this outfit became more eye-catching and looked majestic. As soon as he appeared outside the palace gate, he was recognized by many sharp-eyed guards, and among the soldiers outside the palace, there were also many people who had served as a guard on duty in the forbidden army camp and school field during the selection of generals of the forbidden army.

The emperor's eyebrows trembled inadvertently, and he smiled sideways: "Zhi'er, this time I went to pass the word to verify my identity." I'm afraid I'm going to have to work hard for you. ——Xuan Wang Wen Guang saw the driver! This person was selected as a general of the forbidden army in the twenty-third year of Wucheng, and Wen Tao's performance was only in the middle, because the old captain Chen Wenyuan strongly recommended it, and I personally summoned the scholar before he was promoted to the rank of Xiaocai general. Wen Yuan is old enough to seek the country, and his vision of seeing people is really old! I remember it refreshingly, and I think Wang Wenguang's memory will not be bad! ”
