Chapter 953: Save Me
However, Wang Chengen was not surprised, only knelt on the ground and cried, refusing to get up.
Zhao Xing suddenly realized that the Son of Heaven may have woken up a long time ago, perhaps in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, so he has been keeping it a secret.
"Long live, long live, the slave Zhao Xing escorted late...... he walked up with a roll, this kind of moment naturally has to be sold in front of the Son of Heaven, as long as the Son of Heaven gets rid of a traitor, he may be the most powerful person in Wang Chengen.
The reaction of the Son of Heaven was much greater than Zhao Xing expected.
"How did you get him in? Kill him, kill him! ”
Zhu Youzhen suddenly changed color and shouted loudly. However, he could only wave his left arm slightly, and his body was twisting very incoordinatedly.
Zhao Xing's heart and gall were broken, after all, Yu Wei, the Son of Heaven, was still there, he kowtowed like pounding garlic, and he just kept begging for mercy.
"Slaves and maids are loyal, they can learn from the sun and the moon, they can learn from the sun and the moon, ten thousand, long live......"
It was Wang Chengen who said something for Zhao Xing.
"Long live don't worry, he has turned his back on Her Royal Highness the Queen, there is no way back, it may be useful to keep this person."
Although Wang Chengen said it was ugly, Zhao Xing was like grasping a life-saving straw, "Yes, yes, there is no way back for the slave and maid, so he can only follow the long live ......"
Having said that, Wang Chengen's hand was still buckled to the steel knife on his waist, and if Zhu Youzhen insisted on killing Zhao Xing, he would not be soft.
"Dog minion, if you turn your back on the queen, won't you turn your back on me?"
Zhu Youzhen said harshly, but the killing intent in his eyes gradually faded.
"Slave, don't dare to die, don't dare to die......"
Unexpectedly, Zhu Youzhen sighed in a sneer.
"It's come to this, you may only die if you follow me!"
Zhao Xing didn't react at first, but he quickly figured it out, it turned out that the Son of Heaven was helpless, so Wang Chengen cried so bitterly just now, could the plan they conspire have completely failed?
Just escaped from death, Zhao Xing's head was rapidly spinning with various thoughts.
……
"Fire the cannon and blast open the Donghua Gate!"
Li Xin's face was grim and he gave a resolute order. Dongfang has a white belly, and he wants to completely end this farce-like palace change before the weather is cold. After all, the real enemy of the Ming Dynasty was the Qing army outside the city, Dorgon.
"The Marquis of Zhenyu thinks twice, there is no end to the palace!"
Gu Pingyu arrived with reinforcements, and at the same time brought the new artillery equipped by the Shenji Battalion. He has been in Beijing for several years, and he has long been familiar with the officialdom of Beijing, if Li Xin fires today, no matter how much he has recreated his merits, he is also a rebel and thief in the mouth of those civil ministers, and everyone wants to get it and punish him.
Even if you can't kill him, just the spittle stars can drown him.
Li Xin doesn't care, the lesser of two evils, at this critical juncture, a slow step may be a complete loss, although there is Gao Shiming in the palace to do the internal response, but who can guarantee that he will be able to stop the conspiracy of those people?
"Fire!"
Li Xin once again resolutely ordered, and ten eight-pounder cannons rumbled and fired a salvo, but in the blink of an eye, he saw that huge holes had appeared in the originally heavy palace gate.
It turned out to be a solid bullet that shot directly at the palace door, smashing a hole in the three-inch-thick door panel.
"The palace gate is broken, rush with me!"
Gu Pingyu roared, and the battalion soldiers of the Beijing camp roared up. Since the arrival of the Three Guards, they have been repeatedly discriminated against, and now they finally have the opportunity to show their talents, saying that they can't say anything and lose face in front of a group of eunuchs who have no subordinates.
"Kill the eunuchs and protect the Empress of Heaven!"
This was the goal set by Li Xin before the operation, which was to kill only the relevant eunuchs and the few ministers who led the mutiny.
But who else was involved in the cabinet, he did not dare to assert that at such a moment, there was no loyalty or betrayal, everything was decided by bargaining chips and winning or losing.
Thousands of Beijing battalion soldiers poured into Donghua Gate like a tsunami, and the defenders of Donghua Gate saw this, and they had long lost the heart to resist, so they either fled for their lives in a hurry, or knelt on the ground and surrendered and begged for mercy.
After breaking through the Donghua Gate, Li Xin was the first to lead people to rush into the cabinet hall.
With a bang, the door was kicked open, and the main hall of Nuoda was empty, Li Xin sighed, this is also normal, Liu Yuliang and Wei Zaode, who were on duty tonight, have either been killed, or they have joined forces with the traitors.
"But the Marquis of the Town?"
Li Xin was just about to leave, but he heard a trembling question from the main hall, and the voice was very familiar, it was Liu Yuliang.
When Li Xin turned around, he saw Liu Yuliang crawling out of the table in a very embarrassed manner......
……
In the Duanjing Palace, Queen Zhou described herself as haggard, and a few strands of hair between her temples were fluffy and fluffy, and she who attached great importance to her appearance had no time to take care of it at this time.
There was a faint rumbling cannon sound outside, and the fright she had just received had already made Queen Zhou angry.
If it weren't for Gao Shiming coming forward at the critical moment, I am afraid that they would have ......
Empress Zhou closed her eyes with palpitations, not daring to think further.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, Wang Chengen and Zhao Xing fled to the Son of Heaven's dormitory, and Gonggong Gao has surrounded the palace, and it is difficult for them to fly out with their wings."
A eunuch rushed to report the good news, but Queen Zhou was not happy at all, and only asked:
"Where is the sound of artillery coming from?"
"Back to Your Highness, it sounds like it's coming from the direction of Donghua Gate."
At this time, Queen Zhou was in chaos, worried that the reinforcements of the rebellious soldiers were coming, but the prince beside her said: "Don't worry, the queen mother, it should be the Jingnan soldiers of the Marquis of Zhenzhen have arrived, we are saved!" ”
Empress Zhou suddenly realized, he had no doubt about Li Xin's ability, as soon as the Three Guards arrived, those rabble would immediately disappear, but she just couldn't mention the joy and excitement, and her heart was infinitely entangled.
Just when everyone thought the dust had settled, another eunuch ran into the hall crying.
"No, it's not good, Hong Chengchou led people to break through the Jingyun Gate and was coming to the Duanjing Palace, Your Highness is ...... quickly"
Empress Zhou only felt that her heart was almost bursting suddenly, and the emotions that had just calmed down fluctuated sharply.
However, after Empress Zhou lost her authority base, what could she do in the face of the rebellious courtiers? After being stunned for a moment, she shouted, "Hurry up, hurry up." ”
A group of eunuchs fled, scattered, and there were not many people who stayed with Queen Zhou, but it was enough to protect the mother and son from leaving.
Suddenly, a shout exploded in the air.
"Her Royal Highness doesn't need to worry, the slaves and maids are here, and the thieves can't get in!"
But seeing a middle-aged eunuch with a white face and beard standing at the door of the palace, with the flickering candles in the hall, it was quite powerful.
It's Gao Shiming!
"Gao Shiming save me!"
At the critical juncture, Queen Zhou was like grasping a life-saving straw. Gao Shiming has long been different from what he used to be in the palace, and with the fame of the Three Guards in recent years, he has been supervising the Three Guards Army, and he has also become the most proficient eunuch in the palace.
