Chapter 310: Soldiers besiege the Taiji Palace
Just when Ji Wen went out of King's Landing City to see Ji Qingchen, the Eighth Prince Ji Qian also made a move, and he gave an order to Yulin Cavalry, in addition to tightening the defense of the Imperial City, he also asked 50,000 Xiao cavalry guards to prepare for battle. Because Ji Qian had learned about the agreement between the three kings and Ji Qingchen through special channels, that is, Ji Qingchen was only allowed to bring 30,000 cavalry into the city, which was an excellent opportunity for Ji Qian, who had an army of 100,000 in the city, to get rid of Ji Qingchen.
Therefore, Ji Qian was already ready, just waiting for Ji Qingchen to enter the city, and when he returned to the palace, his army entered the Northern Liao palace in one fell swoop and killed Ji Qingchen.
This night, neither the Three Kings nor Ji Qian had a good rest.
The next day, at three poles in the sun, the horn horn sounded in the Beirong camp outside King's Landing, and after a while, I saw Ji Qingchen leading 30,000 Qingfeng to ride out of the camp and go straight to King's Landing.
However, in addition to the 30,000 Qingfeng cavalry accompanying him this time, there was also Li Muzhi, Li Muzhi did not wear armor, but was just dressed in cloth, but even so, he was still majestic and murderous in front of the 30,000 iron cavalry, and his momentum as the second person in the Dayan military did not decrease.
The two led 30,000 iron horses to the city of King's Landing, and saw that in addition to Bai Jin and Pei Wenju, there were also Song King Ji Ping, Ning King Ji Hongchang and Lu King Ji Wen on the city tower.
The three kings appeared here to welcome Ji Qingchen into the city, and they were also afraid that Ji Qian would attack Ji Qingchen who had just entered the city, which would destroy their plans.
Their plan was to let Ji Qingchen and Ji Qian fight, and this was a plan that was decided after discussing it for a long time last night. But don't let Ji Qingchen and Ji Qian fight now, because the current Ji Qingchen is still beneficial to them, and they don't want to let Ji Qingchen and Ji Qian fight so soon.
And they already knew about Ji Qian's actions last night, and they only appeared here today, in order to ensure the safety of Ji Qingchen entering the city.
Let Ji Qingchen be able to go step by step in their plans.
When the army arrived at King's Landing, Ji Qingchen raised his eyes to look at King's Landing, and when he saw Bai Jin frowning when he saw Li Mu beside him, this expression was only a flash.
Bai Jin pondered for a moment and said, "King of Northern Liao, the old man wants to ask you again, what you said to His Royal Highness King Lu last night was me?" ”
Bai Jin wanted to verify with Ji Qingchen, he felt that with Ji Qingchen's status, he might be able to deceive King Lu Jiwen secretly, but he would not lie in public.
"Naturally, it's true, how can this king be a dignified child of the Yan royal family?" Ji Qingchen said affirmatively, "If the Marquis of Jin still doesn't believe it, after this king enters the city, you can always stay by this king's side and supervise this king's every move." ”
"Ha Lu Ha - the old man just asked the king of Northern Liao for an affirmative answer, since the king of Northern Liao replied to the old man, the old man naturally believes in Northern Liao." Bai Jin said with a hearty smile, if he really told Ji Wen that Emperor Yan had left an edict to let Ji Qingchen open it and establish a new monarch, this would be a good thing for Da Yan, how could he stop it?
It is estimated that Li Muzhi followed Ji Qingchen's side, maybe for this reason, right? Bai Jin thought so in his heart, as if his eyes moved to the three kings beside him.
The three kings, Zhong Ji Ping and Ji Hongchang, respectively opened their mouths to greet Ji Qingchen for a few words, and then signaled Bai Jin to order the opening of the city.
"Open the city-" As soon as Bai Jin gave the order, he heard a "squeak-" sound, and the heavy King's Landing gate slowly opened.
"Enter the city-" Ji Qingchen did not hesitate, and with an order, he led the army into the city with Li Muyi. As soon as the army entered the city, the three kings, Bai Jin and Pei Wenju, who were already waiting for Ji Qingchen under the city tower, stepped forward. Ji Ping, who was walking in the front, saw Ji Qingchen, so he said with a smile, "Lao Jiu, I can look forward to you, it's not easy——"
"Lao Jiu, let the army go back to the barracks in the east of the city! Let's go to the Taiji Hall to open the edict of our father-" The third prince, Ji Hongchang, said bluntly.
In fact, what the three of them want to know most now is the content of the Holy Decree.
"Okay—let's go! Three brothers, please—Bai Jin, please—" Ji Qingchen said, obviously not intending to let the army return to the camp in the east of the city.
And just as Ji Ping was about to say something, he saw Ji Qingchen urging the horse's belly and said to the three kings, "Three brothers, let's go together-"
After that, he ignored the Three Kings, Bai Jin and Pei Wenju, and rode to the imperial city with Li Muzhi.
At this time, there were a lot of pedestrians on Suzaku Street, and everyone wanted to see the demeanor of Ji Qingchen, the new god of war of Dayan, who had not been seen for a long time, but what they didn't expect was that there was only a murderous iron horse. Therefore, the people immediately gave way to Ji Qingchen's army of 30,000. Let Ji Qingchen and Li Muzhi personally lead 30,000 iron horsemen, and it didn't take long to rush to Xuanwu Gate.
The guards of the Xuanwu Gate are Yulin Cavalry, although they are obedient to Ji Qian, but because of Li Muzhi, because Li Muzhi was the commander of the Yulin Cavalry before, Li Muzhi fell to Ji Qian so that he could subdue the Yulin Cavalry for his own use, but now Li Muzhi began to support Ji Qingchen again, and the Yulin Cavalry guarding outside the Xuanwu Gate was ready to close the gate of the imperial city when they saw 30,000 iron cavalry, but when they saw Li Muzhi, they hesitated, and when they heard Li Muzhi's order, they chose to betray Ji Qian and obey Li Muzhi's order.
In this way, Ji Qingchen solved the guards in the imperial city without spending a single soldier, and collected 50,000 Yulin cavalry for his own use.
This is something that Ji Qian didn't expect, and the three kings didn't expect either, because neither Ji Qian nor the three kings knew that Li Muzhi was in Ji Qingchen's army, and Li Muzhi did not appear in his army when Ji Qingchen led the army to kill under King's Landing City yesterday, and Li Muzhi did not appear in Ji Qingchen's big tent when Ji Wen went to his camp last night.
Therefore, Ji Qingchen used such an easy and effective means to harvest a surprise soldier.
"Su Jian, you now order the Yulin cavalry generals, let them guard the gate of the imperial city, without the order of the king of Northern Liao and the old man, you are not allowed to let the soldiers and horses enter the city, and you are also not allowed to let anyone out of the city." Li Muzhi ordered Su Jian, the main general of the Yulin Cavalry, who had rushed to the Xuanwu Gate through the report of his subordinates.
"And from now on, all the kings and ministers who want to enter the palace will not be allowed to enter the imperial city, that is, they will enter the city, and no more than ten maids will be with them." Li Muzhi pondered for a moment and continued.
"No!" Su Jian took the order and strode away.
And at this moment, the three kings, Bai Jin and Pei Wenju woke up after Ji Qingchen left, and hurriedly caught up with Ji Qingchen's footsteps and arrived at Xuanwu Gate. When they saw Li Mu under King's Landing, they only thought of Li Muzhi's why he would fall to Ji Qingchen, and now when they arrived at Xuanwu Gate, they saw Yu Lin Riding on Ji Qingchen's horse, and then they thought that Ji Qingchen had played a good chess game against them again, using Li Muzhi's prestige and prestige in Yulin Cavalry, not only subdued Yulin Cavalry effortlessly, cut off half of Ji Qian's strength in King's Landing City, but also indirectly controlled the city defense of the Imperial City.
This makes them nervous and frightened at the same time!
However, at this time, it was too late for them to stop Ji Qingchen, so they could only endure their scalp and keep up with Ji Qingchen's pace and rush to the Taiji Palace.
……
Because last night Ji Qingchen told Ji Wen that he would read the edict in the Taiji Palace. Therefore, the three kings in the early morning summoned the ministers to the Taiji Palace, and even Queen Cui was waiting for Ji Qingchen in the Taiji Palace, of course, there were all the princes and Cui Jingsheng in addition to the three kings.
Empress Cui and Cui Jingsheng had already come up with a countermeasure, so they were not afraid of Ji Qingchen's entry into the city, they showed their due bearing in the main hall, only Ji Qian's face was a little ugly, but he was very low-key under the gaze of his mother and uncle, and when the ministers in the main hall were whispering, he remained silent.
But his heart was not at peace.
Because he had already made arrangements and prepared that as soon as Ji Qingchen returned to the Northern Liao Palace, he personally led a large army into the Northern Liao Palace, killing Ji Qingchen. Therefore, in the large camp in the northern district of King's Landing, his 50,000 cavalry guards have been assembled and are ready for battle, just waiting for his order!
"It's not good—it's not good—" But just as Ji Qian was thinking about it, he saw an attendant stumbling into the Taiji Palace, and he suddenly pounced on the Taiji Palace, panting and saying to Queen Cui, "The queen's mother is not good—something is wrong—something is wrong—"
The ministers in the Taiji Hall wanted to laugh when they saw the appearance of this chamberlain, but they didn't laugh out loud, because the eunuch's words shocked them.
"Queen Niang, the king of Northern Liao, he - the king of Northern Liao, he led the army to kill the Taiji Palace, and now he has arrived outside the palace!" As soon as the shrill and frightened voice of the inner servant came out, it shocked the ministers in the main hall, and even Queen Cui and Cui Jingsheng were shocked a lot, and they didn't know what to say.
"Y-what did you say?" After being stunned for a moment, Empress Cui hurriedly asked in disbelief.
But as soon as her words fell, she heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from outside the hall, and as soon as the sound of horses' hooves entered the hall, Ji Qingchen's voice came from outside the hall.
"Seal the Imperial City, guard the Taiji Palace, and don't let anyone leave-"
Immediately, they heard heavy footsteps coming from outside the hall, and the ministers hurriedly moved their eyes to the outside of the hall, and saw Ji Qingchen striding into the hall under the support of the guards of the three hundred cavalry battalions.
He was dressed in a black python robe and wore a wolf blade at his waist, but when he walked into the main hall step by step, he still made the ministers in the main hall feel a breath of battlefield conquest.
Following Ji Qingchen's three hundred cavalry battalions into the main hall, he quickly walked behind the ministers to surround the main hall, and stood with a pillar sword. And Ji Qingchen walked straight to the center of the main hall, his eyes staring coldly at Queen Cui's face. Empress Cui's body trembled when she was stared at by Ji Qingchen's gaze, and just as she was about to open her mouth to reprimand, she saw Li Muzhi walk into the outside of the main hall, accompanied by Bai Jin, Pei Wenju and the three kings.
Seeing Li Muzhi and Bai Jin, who came with him, Empress Cui, who was about to yell at Ji Qingchen, shook her body. Because at this moment, she seemed to think of something, and her face suddenly became very ugly, and she was so angry that she didn't know what to say, but she just looked at Ji Qingchen angrily.
