Chapter 179: The Siege
It was finally dark, and the entire capital was still as prosperous as ever, but neither the common people nor the princes and nobles knew what kind of crisis was hidden in such a calm night.
The Prince's Mansion was bright all night, and the Crown Prince was already dressed up, waiting for the throne he thought was about to arrive.
"Prince, the time has come, let's make a decision." The people on the side were also waiting for such an opportunity, and naturally they couldn't hold it back.
"Wait." The prince stood up violently when he heard his words, but sat back again, the cold sweat on his face exposed his weakness, he had been under the pressure of King Tang for so many years, although he made this decision at this time, he still couldn't help but be afraid.
"Prince, if it is too late, it will change, if it continues like this, we will be passive, if it is discovered by Tang Wu, then what we prepared before will be all over." Several people looked at him with some hesitation and couldn't help but get anxious.
Perhaps their words had an effect, the crown prince gritted his teeth and stood up violently, "Okay, let's go into the palace." ”
With a bang, all the people moved, and the prince saw that the expression on his face was better, and took the lead in walking out.
With his decision, the signal of rebellion was sent, and for a while, several barracks in the capital began to act together, the prince's plan was not clever, but he relied on the trust of the Tang King in him, and did this under the nose of the Tang King, and let the Tang King not have half a suspicion of him.
That's why he was given the opportunity to control the military power in the capital overnight, let him pass a signal, and all the garrisons in the capital would listen to him.
Since the prince gave the order to act, his heart was raised, he knew that this time it was a rebellion, and if he became the king of Tang, but if he was defeated, he would be broken into pieces, which made him have to be afraid, and even regretted it faintly in his heart.
"Prince, now that the arrow has been issued, we can't get it back, we only have this way to go." The confidant looked at his expression and guessed what he was thinking, although he was a little disdainful in his heart, but he also knew that he had no choice, "You must know that we have done it now, even if we let it go now, it will be too late." ”
"I know, but my father has always treated me well, and I can't bear it." The prince sighed and spoke.
"Those who become big things are not informal, and the big deal is that the prince does not kill the king of Tang, as long as he is willing to abdicate." When the henchman heard this, he immediately answered.
"Yes, as long as he is willing to abdicate, I will not kill him." The prince nodded when he heard this, stood up violently as he spoke, looked in the direction of the palace, where the sound of killing had shook the sky, and he couldn't help but say fiercely, "Father, don't blame me, I also want to be this prince all the time waiting for you to pass on the throne to me, but you all force me, there is the suspicion of my father in front, and the bite of the fourth brother in the back, I live in fear every day, I am afraid that one day a carelessness, the crown prince's position will not be guaranteed, so what I want is only for me to take it myself." ”
"Prince, it's really no wonder you, they forced you, and besides, this throne was originally yours, but you just sat on it in advance." The henchman was a little shocked when he heard his words, but he still spoke.
When the prince said this, he seemed to be comforting himself, and it also played a role, and he didn't feel so nervous in his heart, so he turned his head and asked, "How is the situation?" ”
"Our men attacked from the four gates of the outer city at the same time, and the south gate has now been breached by our men, and the rest of the men are also fast, and will soon attack the inner city." The henchman couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw his appearance, he was really afraid that the prince would regret it if he couldn't support it, but now it seems that he should have figured it out.
When the prince heard this, his face was really happy, "We will go too, I will personally go to oversee the army, and watch our men attack the palace." ”
"But the prince, the front is too dangerous, so let's wait until we enter the city." The henchmen also knew that if the prince was on the front line at this time, it would definitely be a good incentive for the soldiers, but the problem was that if the prince had not been on the battlefield, he was afraid that he would only be on a whim, and then it would be a bad thing.
"No, I'll go now, don't they all say that Tang Qing is also the god of war, but now that he has been killed by us, even if he doesn't die, it will be impossible to block our way, and I will now lead people to attack the royal city, the strongest city wall of the Tang King, who will dare to say that I am inferior to him at that time." The prince decided not to think about it, but it could be seen that he really didn't have the slightest intention of motivating the soldiers.
The henchmen were helpless, so they could only take someone to protect the prince and go to the city gate that had been broken and march towards the inner city.
King Tang's palace was in the inner city, because the outer city was defended by the Gyeonggi camp, and there were not too many troops in the inner city, but perhaps he never dreamed that handing over the Gyeonggi camp to the crown prince would make those who protected him turn against himself one day.
At this time, there are not many troops in the inner city, and if there is no reinforcements for the stalemate, there will be only a dead end.
When the prince came, the four gates of the outer city had been controlled, and only this inner city was left to attack, and he also knew that there was no danger, so he came to the front of the formation, looked at it, sneered and shouted loudly, "Listen to the people above, I am your prince, I was ordered to put down the rebellion of King Qin, and immediately open the door and let us in." ”
"Whose orders are you given?" Suddenly, a majestic voice sounded, quieting the battlefield that was still full of murderous sounds.
The prince looked up and couldn't help but be surprised, the person who came was not Tang Wang, originally he had the upper hand, and he should be arrogant, but the moment he saw Tang Wang, his instinctive heart became empty, and he opened his mouth and couldn't speak.
"Prince, you are my favorite son, I have made you the prince since I was a child, and my position will be yours sooner or later, but I didn't expect you to do such an intolerable thing." Seeing that he didn't speak, King Tang continued to speak loudly, and couldn't help but express deep regret, "Not only did you kill your own brother, but now you have to kill your father and rebel, do you think you can become this king like this, I won't let you succeed." ”
His words were like a sharp arrow that pierced the prince's heart, and also angered him, the prince, who was still bowing his head, raised his head violently, "What is your favorite son, if you fancy me the most and want to pass on the throne to me, then you should not give power to Tang Qingyi, let alone let him have such a reputation, now everyone knows that he is the god of war and the most capable prince, who in the world still knows that I am the prince?" ”
"This is his own ability, you touch your conscience and say, since you were a child, I have been more concerned about whose cultivation and who you have taken care of more, Tang Qing is also the credit of killing the enemy in the military camp, but what have you done, I really hate me now for being blind, and I have always trusted you so much." When King Tang heard his words, he was even more angry, and really wanted to kill him with his own hands right now.
"What if he has the ability, he didn't die at the hands of the crown prince, father, now among your sons, I am the only one who can succeed to the throne, you are already old, it is time to retire and ask your father to abdicate." Maybe it was King Tang who mentioned Tang Qingyi, which made him jealous again, and the last trace of jealousy in his heart disappeared, "Father, don't force me to order the siege of the city, these are all soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and Father doesn't want them to kill each other, right?" ”
King Tang was angry, pointed at the prince and said loudly, "How did I raise such an ungrateful thing as you." ”
The prince sneered but didn't say anything, and couldn't help but gesture, all the soldiers were ready to attack the city again.
King Tang looked at the soldiers below, his face became even more ugly, "The soldiers of the Tang Kingdom, I am your king, do you really want to rebel with this person who killed his brother and father, you must know what kind of crime this is, and now regret it is still urgent, I promise that I will not pursue you." ”
Although the soldiers below have not seen Tang Wang, they have just heard some famous from the conversation between the two, some people don't even know why they are fighting this time, and they don't know that they are rebelling, most of them are brought out by their own captains or even generals, and they just obey orders, where will they know that they have to face such a situation, so they can't help but hesitate a little when they hear this, and the knife that has been raised slowly put down.
