The family banquet has ended, Zhen Chong and the concubines sit in the hall, talk and laugh at will, between the year, there is a rare family fun, the prince is sitting on Zhen Chong's side, listening to the conversation between the father and the queen mother, and the two little princesses are still childish, running around in the palace, laughing and playing.
There was a rush of footsteps outside the hall, Zhen Chongwei was surprised, and in surprise, Wu Zhihuan, who succeeded Allure as the commander of the palace guards, appeared at the door of the palace with a panicked face, and behind him, the great eunuch Feng Baobao hurried over.
Zhen Chong's heart sank, something happened, why Wu Zhihuan couldn't even wait for the eunuch to report, so he broke in.
"Your Majesty!"
Wu Zhihuan walked in quickly, saluted Zhen Chong and the concubines, and didn't care that it was already a big exceedance to break into the palace like this, and asked urgently:
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Forest Army in the outer city has suddenly moved on a large scale, I wonder if Your Majesty has given an order?"
Zhen Chonghuo stood up:
"What did you say?"
"The Imperial Forest Army in the outer city suddenly moved on a large scale, and the minister did not receive the order, I don't know if it is ......"
Having said this, Wu Zhihuan saw Zhen Chong's face, and already understood that the emperor did not know, and looked at Zhen Chong, and the sky became pale.
"Feng Baobao, pass on Kang Renzhi!"
Zhen Chong said sharply.
Although the concubines in the palace are not familiar with political affairs, but such a change, they also know what it means when they live in the deep palace for a long time, and the death-like silence in the palace shows a panicked look on everyone's face.
"Queen, you and a group of concubines go to the Zhonghe Hall to wait!"
Zhen Chong commanded:
"Wu Zhihuan, you quickly mobilize the palace guards to guard the inner city."
"Your Majesty, if it is the Imperial Forest Army that is in turmoil, then it must be Kang Renzhi, the palace guards have just added 1,500 people, all of whom are selected from the Imperial Forest Army!"
Wu Zhihuan's voice trembled.
Zhen Chong took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed his mood, and said:
"Then gather fifteen hundred men from the original line and guard them... Guarding the Taihe Palace, Zhonghe Palace, and Wu Zhihuan, he immediately ordered someone to ring the alarm bell and alert the left and right guards outside the city, announcing that they would enter the city to escort them. ”
Wu Zhihuan hurried away, and at this time, Feng Baobao came all the way, panting and said:
"Your Majesty, I can't find the leader of Kang Ren, and the leader of Kang Tong is not in the palace. Outside the city, outside the city, the minions can't get out. ”
Zhen Chong already knew what was going on, "Traitor! He scolded hatefully.
"Let's go, let's go to the Taihe Temple!"
Anning Palace, the wine banquet is happy, a group of people have a slight sense of alcohol, these people who can come to Anning Wang's Mansion, most of them are old friends of Anning King for decades, a group of people while drinking, while reminiscing about the past years, the hall from time to time burst into bursts of laughter or sighs.
When, when, when!
The dull bell suddenly rang in everyone's ears, and the hall instantly froze, and someone was stunned and said:
"Lord Wang, did I drink too much, why did I hear the startled bell?"
The faces of the people were shocked, they were all powerful people, and of course they knew what it meant to ring the alarm bell.
Seeing the looks of the crowd, the person who asked the question immediately knew that he was not listening in vain. He jumped up at once and said:
"There are people in the capital who are making trouble, Lord Wang, we..."
"Sit down!"
Su Yu slammed the wine glass on the table and said in a low voice.
Everyone looked at King An Ning in amazement, the prince's move was obviously aware of this conspiracy, and the person who asked the question pointed to King An Ning, "Lord Wang, could it be you, you..."
Su Yu's face was gloomy, and he said angrily:
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I, Su Yu, be this kind of chaotic life? Kang family, do it. ”
"It's Kang Binglin!" Someone else exclaimed.
Su Yu closed his eyes and said in a low voice:
"Fifty thousand royal forest troops, more than a thousand palace guards, do you think the palace is still in the hands of the emperor at this time? At this time, outside the imperial city, nearly 100,000 troops such as the Kang family and the Lu family gathered, this rebellion has been planned for a long time, although I got the news, but there is nothing I can do. The reason why I brought you all here today is that I am afraid that you will not be able to think about it for a while, and you will give your lives in vain. ”
A marquis said loudly: "Lord, all of us here, as many people as we are in the house, we can get thousands of tigers and benders, kill the imperial city, maybe we can even kill into the palace, rescue the emperor, as long as the emperor is safe, tomorrow tomorrow, the rebels will disappear." ”
Su Yu sneered:
"Foolish dreams, if you don't believe it, you can go out of my house at this time to take a look, now the streets are full of heavy soldiers. Even if we do our best, I'm afraid we may not even be able to go out of the street, talk about how to save the king, don't act rashly, stay here with me, wait for the situation to change! ”
Outside the imperial city, the left and right guard battalions guarding Gyeonggi almost heard the shocking bell in the palace at the same time, and the calm camp suddenly boiled, and Xue Lifang, the general of the left guard battalion, quickly gathered 30,000 troops and rushed to the imperial city.
But at this time, the gate of the imperial city was closed, and they were greeted by tens of thousands of imperial forest troops in the city, and the majestic imperial city wall was also blocked by Zhen Chong's life-saving straw at this time.
In the palace, the outer city has completely fallen into the hands of the Imperial Forest Army, half of the palace guards have given up the defense of the inner city, 1,500 people have all shrunk to the Taihe Hall and the Zhonghe Palace, and the two halls are surrounded layer by layer, Wu Zhihuan holds the spear, standing on the high steps of the Taihe Palace, behind him, is Emperor Zhenchong, here, is their last reliance.
The sound of horses' hooves is urgent, knocking on the stone slab outside, making a crisp sound, at this time, it has become a life-destroying talisman for everyone here, and soon, a team of soldiers appeared in everyone's field of vision, dense, countless royal forest troops have surrounded this place, a crossbow of eight bulls, the strong crossbow was pushed up, Rao is more than a thousand palace guards are brave soldiers, in the face of such a formation, but also show panic.
The rebels were separated on both sides, and Kang Binglin, the head of the Kang family, Lu Ziqi, the head of the Lu family, and Kang Renzhi and others appeared outside the Taihe Palace.
Kang Binglin came out of the crowd, looked at Wu Zhihuan on the steps, paused word by word, and said slowly:
"Wu Zhihuan, lay down your weapons, or go to death, you choose?"
Kang Binglin's hand was raised high, the eight-bull crossbow, the strong crossbow began to tighten with a tooth-sour sound, Wu Zhihuan's forehead was dripping with sweat, he knew that when Kang Binglin's hand fell, it was when the crossbow arrows of the eight-bull crossbow were shot.
Looking back at the closed gate of the Taihe Palace, Wu Zhihuan let out a long sigh, and the spear in his hand fell to the ground with a thud, and as the spear in Wu Zhihuan's hand landed, the palace guards' will to fight was completely broken.
