Chapter 543: Taking over Splendid City

Splendid City.

After the 20,000 "Praetorian Guards" came out of the teleportation array, they did not return to the Praetorian Guard camp in the city, but went straight to the inner city palace with the Son of Heaven.

When the Son of Heaven returned, the city gate was opened layer by layer, and the palace gate from the inner city gate to the palace wall was all open.

However, to the consternation of the guards of the inner city and the palace, the Son of Heaven for some reason ordered 20,000 Praetorian Guards to take over the defense of the inner city and the entire palace.

Among them, the three palace walls of the palace are not allowed to be garrisoned by any other soldiers except for the Praetorian Guards brought back by the Son of Heaven;

And these "marginalized" guards were then sent to guard the inner city walls, along with the 10,000 Praetorian Guards.

The actions of the Son of Heaven naturally made countless people confused, but in a short period of time, no one dared to raise any questions.

Because they didn't know whether there were any people in the group of palace guards who intended to rebel, they were so adjusted by the Son of Heaven.

Imperial Palace, Elephant Palace.

Hundreds of Praetorian Guard soldiers surrounded the hall, and the attendants in the center of the hall were all kneeling tremblingly, afraid to speak.

The Son of Heaven "Liu Xiu" sat on the dragon chair, and a heavily armed Praetorian Guard general who couldn't see his specific face clearly next to him whispered something in Liu Xiu's ear.

This "Liu Xiu" is naturally not Liu Xiu, but he is Feng Yi, and the general of the Praetorian Guard next to him is Wang Xian.

Although Feng Yi has spiritual eye skills and can know the names of these chamberlains, he doesn't know anything about the specific positions and personalities, so he needs someone to help him smoothly "take over" Liu Xiu's palace so that he can carry out the layout later.

With Feng Yi's current strength, coupled with the fact that the Phantom Mask has been upgraded and created by the core craftsmen of Wuji City, the new version of the Phantom Mask can already help him hide his identity information from professionals below the top five grades, as for the top six grades and above, it is fine from a distance, but if you look closely, it will definitely be discovered.

Of course, the highest strength of these chamberlains in the palace is only the top one, but there is no need to worry about the identity being exposed.

As for Wang Xian, Liu Xiu's killing made him completely free of worries, and at this time, he naturally wanted to go all the way to the dark.

"Pei Gong! Proposed edict! ”

After Wang Xian had explained the general affairs, Feng Yi suddenly shouted towards the top-level eunuch.

This "Pei Gong" is one of Liu Xiu's most trusted eunuchs, and the care of the jade seal has always been entrusted to this person.

"Yes!"

The old eunuch, known as "Pei Gong", hurriedly responded, then got up and went to the small table beside him, spreading out a blank holy decree to be written.

He is extremely familiar with the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven's behavior today is very strange, but he can't say what is strange for a while, so he can only secretly wonder.

"Wei Wei Cho period, Cheng Gate Captain Zang Gong is suspected of colluding with foreign enemies and intending to plot against him, so the great Sima Wu Han will be arrested and brought to justice immediately, and he will be dealt with after he has been investigated clearly!

In addition, he was promoted to the captain of the city gate, so that he could take over the defense and inspection of the imperial capital!

Make no mistake! ”

Pei Gong's original flowing pen tip suddenly stagnated, and a look of horror involuntarily appeared on his face.

Captains of the Guards and Captains of the City Gate colluded with foreign enemies? How is this possible?

However, the internal officials are not allowed to discuss the government in vain, and although Pei Gong is very hesitant, he does not dare to question it out loud.

But there was another thing he asked.

"Your Majesty, wasn't General Yangwu Ma Cheng captured alive by that Feng Wuji? He should still be in the prison of White Horse City at this time, how can he be the captain of the city gate? ”

Feng Yi snorted coldly and said:

"I have already made arrangements, and now Ma Cheng has led the army to rush to the splendid city, you just need to deliver the holy decree to the east city gate, and order the city guard Sima to open the door by order, and let Ma Cheng lead the army into the city."

Pei Gong couldn't help but wonder even more, he often stayed with Liu Xiu, why had he never heard of the Son of Heaven making such an arrangement?

Moreover, Ma Cheng can escape alone, so where does the army come from?

Pei Gong couldn't figure it out, but looking at the look of the Son of Heaven who was gradually becoming a little impatient, he didn't dare to ask more, and hurriedly drafted an edict.

After the two holy decrees were carried away by the two attendants in a hurry, Feng Yifu spoke again:

"Proposed edict, I am a little lacking today, except for Ma Cheng, the captain of the city gate, no one will be summoned.

Now the situation is changing rapidly, and the battle of the Yuan and Han dynasties needs to be decided in detail.

In addition to the generals who are in the war, there must be no mistake in summoning a cadre of civil and military ministers and local Taishou to enter the palace to participate in the court meeting at the morning time tomorrow! ”

Pei Gong is really a little confused, what is the Son of Heaven doing?

It's okay not to see the important ministers today, but why do you want to let the Taishou from all over the country come to see you tomorrow?

What is the Son of Heaven planning?

Why is it that after only half a day, the Son of Heaven seems to have completely changed as if he has completely changed a person?

"Do you have any questions about my calling?"

Looking at the somewhat unkind gaze of the Son of Heaven, Pei Gong suddenly felt a pang in his heart, and hurriedly replied respectfully:

"Your Majesty! The old slave didn't dare! ”

After the new edict was completed, Feng Yi seemed to be a little tired and waved his hand and said:

"I'm tired, let's get out."

"Yes!"

A cadre of chamberlains hurriedly bowed down and retreated, but Pei Gong did not leave.

"Your Majesty, are you going to rest in the Heart Cultivation Palace? Or to which concubine's palace? ”

Pei Gong got up and asked cautiously with a white whisk on the back end.

"Cultivate the Heart Palace."

Feng Yi hesitated for a moment and spoke.

"Yes!"

……

Guard's Mansion.

Choshi glanced at the soldiers who were staring at him around him, and then asked Wu Han angrily with a cold face:

"Great Sima! What do you mean by that?! ”

Wu Han snorted coldly, raised the holy decree in his hand, and glared at Choshi and said:

"What do you mean? Hum! Cho Guard! You can really pretend!

How dare you secretly collude with foreign enemies and betray Your Majesty! If you really sin deserve death! ”

Choshi was stunned for a moment, plucked his ears and asked in disbelief, crying and laughing:

"This official colluded with foreign enemies and betrayed His Majesty? Heh, hehe! Da Sima, you're too kidding, aren't you?! ”

Wu Hansen drank coldly:

"Jokes? Hum! The decrees are here! Can it still be a joke?

If Your Majesty didn't have some evidence, how could he have issued an edict ordering this official to arrest you?!

Choshi period! In vain, the official treats you as a brother! But thou art so disfaithful! What a bastard! ”

Choshi's face couldn't help but change greatly, he glanced at the holy decree, and then shouted sadly:

"Great Sima! The two of us have a good relationship, what kind of person is this official, don't you know?

No matter how bastard this official is, how can he do anything to collude with foreign enemies and betray His Majesty?! ”

Wu Han frowned slightly, it was not that he had not considered what Choshi said, according to his understanding of Choshi, the latter would never have done such a thing.

But how could he disobey the commandment?

Hesitating in his heart, Wu Han finally sighed after hesitating for a while:

"Your Majesty's decree has already stated, and now it is only suspected that you and the city gate captain Zang Gong colluded with foreign enemies, but the evidence is not very conclusive, and it will not be dealt with until the evidence is clear.

There may be a misunderstanding, or someone may have slandered and framed him, but in any case, the holy order has been issued, and the guard will go to prison for a few days.

After the official is done, he will immediately go to meet His Majesty and try to find out the inside story.

If Wei Wei was indeed framed, then the official would not sit idly by! ”

Zang Gong is going to be imprisoned too?

Choshi couldn't help but be stunned, and after coming back to his senses, he had to nod helplessly and said:

"That being the case, the official will go to that prison for a few days first, just hoping that Da Sima will bother a lot and return the official's innocence as soon as possible!"

"Lord Weiwei, don't worry! If Wei Wei was indeed wronged, then the official and the other brothers would naturally not sit idly by! ”

Wu Han nodded vigorously, and then waved his hand to let the soldiers step forward and control Choshi.

……

East City Gate.

Wu Han had just led people to take down Zang Gong, the captain of the city gate, who was inspecting the east city gate, but suddenly saw the city gate open, and at the same time, there were dense armies pouring in outside the city.

Seeing such a scene, Wu Han was suddenly shocked, and glared at Zang Gong, who was shackled.

"Captain Zang? What's going on? Where did these armies come from? ”

Unexpectedly, Zang Gong also looked confused, and he didn't know what was going on.

"Da Sima, this official doesn't know either! This ......"

With the continuous influx of a large number of men and horses, the soldiers on the city gate tower and the city wall suddenly abandoned their respective posts in an endless stream and began to assemble in the distance;

The original defensive positions were all handed over to the troops entering the city.

Such a situation made Wu Han and the others extremely stunned, but it also made them feel a strong sense of crisis.

At this time, Sima of the East City Gate happened to get down to the city gate tower, and Wu Han immediately took two steps and shouted:

"Zeng Yu, what's going on?"

Zeng Yu was stunned when he heard this, and when he turned around and saw Wu Han with a gloomy face, he hurriedly walked over and hugged his fists:

"I've seen Da Sima!

Da Sima, His Majesty has a decree to order General Yangwu to take over the position of Lord Zang and serve as the captain of the city gate, responsible for the defense and inspection of the splendid city.

These troops entered the city were brought by General Ma.

Why, doesn't Da Sima know? ”

Ma Cheng and Zang Gong were stunned for a moment, they naturally didn't know about this matter.

But now that I know it, I am confused, and I can't figure out the situation at all.

Zang Gong had just been taken down, and before he was immediately removed from office and convicted, His Majesty had re-finalized the candidate for the captain of the city gate, and this candidate was even more strange......

Ma Cheng was defeated and captured by Yan Wang Feng Wuji, and none of them knew this.

It stands to reason that even if His Majesty does not hold Ma Cheng accountable for the defeat, how did this Ma Cheng escape from White Horse City?

And with this huge army, I don't know how many?

And where did these armies come from?

The situation in front of them was like a thick fog, and it was only a few steps into the eyes, but it was difficult for them to see the specific cause and situation......
