Among all the chaos, the most shocking thing was that Zhao Ziyu forced the palace to be defeated.

This happened in a flash of light, and ended with lightning speed, beyond everyone's imagination.

That's right, on the third day of autumn, Kyoto changed dramatically!

The second prince, Zhao Ziyu, fled from the house privately, and Ye Huaizhi, the secretary of the United Military Department, privately used military talismans to mobilize the Huwei army to force the palace!

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Zhao Zilin and the ladies of the East Palace were all killed, and Meng Zhaoyi, the eleventh prince and the twelve princes who were born last year were all beheaded in public. And just when Zhao Ziyu was about to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, Zhao Ziqian, the seventh prince, led the masters of the rivers and lakes to cross the wall and fight against the thief.

The news spread like a bird to the surrounding area, and it was already ten days later when it reached Tongzhou.

The autumn competition in Tongzhou City has just passed, and Zhao Zixiu is a person sent by the Holy Lord to select talented people, so naturally there are many people who come to the hotel to see him at this time. Zhao Zixiu was tired of coping, so he used the excuse of asking Pang Qi to send away the literati who came to visit, and then quickly changed his clothes and hid in Yifu, so Pang Hui, the commander of the secret guard who came to report the news, pounced.

Pang Hui asked the remaining secret guards to know the whereabouts of his highness, and then quickly diverted to Yongle Ju in Yi Mansion.

As a result, Pang Hui, who had transferred from the Imperial Pavilion, and the fox fairy who had arrived from Huanxi Pavilion in Colorful Valley arrived at Yongle Ju almost at the same time, and they reported the great change in Kyoto together.

"How could the talisman be in Ye Huaizhi's hands? Isn't the Huwei Army guarding the border of Meizhou? Are all the soldiers and horses stationed outside Kyoto Castle dead? Yi Xiangxiang threw out a few questions in a row, and these were all what Zhao Zixiu wanted to ask.

Pang Hui and the fox fairy each told what they knew, and explained everything before and after this palace change.

It turned out that before the autumn season, Ye Huaizhi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, made a statement to the saint, saying that the previous "case of selling officials" caused a lot of discussion among the people, and the impact was very bad! And now, when the autumn exams begin, the students are gathered in Kyoto, so that the people can see the strength of the Li Dynasty, so as to re-establish their trust in the imperial court.

Sheng Shangen approved Ye Huaizhi's recital and ordered him to arrange for the generals and soldiers to conduct military training exercises outside the city of Kyoto.

Originally, the Yujia Army under the command of Yu Wenqi participated in the exercise, but Ye Huaizhi said that the sergeants guarding the border in Meizhou were very hard, and this kind of happy event should also let them show their faces.

Ye Huaizhi played so well and righteously, and the Holy Zhao Zheng could only be accurate with a deep understanding of the righteousness, after all, even if he was noble and entered the Holy Lord, he was afraid of being criticized for not paying attention to the Northwest Tiger Army guarding the border passes, which would be inappropriate.

So Ye Huaizhi ordered Li Yuan, the Huwei general stationed in Meizhou, to select 5,000 elite soldiers to go to Beijing for military training, and used the holy decree to ask him to hand over the talisman to the deputy general Zeng Hong, leaving him to lead the rest of the Huwei army to guard the border. In fact, Ye Huaizhi secretly ordered the deputy general Zeng Hong to prepare 20,000 horses, and after Li Yuan left Meizhou, he quietly entered Kyoto.

On the third day after the end of the autumn festival in Kyoto, most people watched General Li Yuan lead the 5,000 elite soldiers of the Huwei Army at the training ground outside the city. In order to prevent a stampede, most of the city guards gathered here to maintain order. So Zhao Ziyu and Ye Huaizhi took advantage of this omission and took Zeng Hong's other 20,000 tiger troops transferred from Meizhou to enter the palace as if they were in a no-man's land.

Before the Praetorian Guards guarding the palace could react, the Huwei Army under Zeng Hong's order occupied the palace. Until the time when the people and horses of various divisions gathered outside the palace, Zhao Ziyu had already put a knife against the neck of the current saint in the Imperial Cadre Palace, so that the rescue soldiers and horses did not dare to enter at all.

"The Ye family really dares! These Tiger Mighty Army are simply stupid! Zhao Zixiu sneered.

Yi Xiangxiang took the mutton fat jade bracelet on her hand on the side, and disagreed with Zhao Zixiu's words:

"Not to mention that these people may have been the pro-soldiers that Zeng Hong secretly bought, even if they are not pro-soldiers, the military orders are like mountains, and no one dares to disobey the orders under the soldiers! You royals are like this, while hoping that others will be obedient, but at the same time you don't want them to blindly obey, how can it be so good? And everyone knows how to seek wealth and danger, at least the Ye family understands it very well! They were suspicious because they married a daughter to Zhao Ziyu, and now they are also giving it a go. This Zeng Hong can be seen that Ye Huaizhi has long been arranged in the Huwei Army, and it seems that the Ye family's wolf ambition has not grown up in the past two days, and it is estimated that he has long been preparing to make something from the dragon's work! ”

The secretary of the military department is in charge of the grain and grass of the garrisons in various places, the transfer of the army and the appointment of army officials, this Zeng Hong obviously arranged it early on by Ye Huaizhi!

It's not that Zhao Zixiu really can't understand it, it's just that this matter is harmful to him and not beneficial, so he is so angry. Speaking of which, he didn't hide it in front of Yi Xiangxiang, otherwise at this time, he would definitely say something like fortunately that his father was fine, instead of scolding people who lost his gentlemanly demeanor. After that, he calmed down and asked Pang Hui: "Is the mother concubine okay?" ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, Concubine De is fine. The second prince had people slaughter the top and bottom of the East Palace, and then confined the ladies of the harem and the saint in the Imperial Palace. The twelve princes under Meng Zhaoyi's knees kept crying, so the second prince ...... Meng Zhaoyi's mother and son A knife went to the head. ”

Pang Qi's words silenced everyone, and Yi Xiangxiang had goosebumps when he imagined that picture! The twelve princes are still a child who has just been born for less than two years, and Zhao Ziyu's hand is too cruel and bloody!

Wait, slaughtered the East Palace?

Yi Xiangxiang instantly gathered her expression: "What ...... Hu Xuehui?" ”

When the fox fairy heard this, he knew what his young lady wanted to ask, and he hesitated for a moment but reported truthfully: "Humiliated to death." ”

Hu Xuehui is the crown prince Liangdi, Zhao Ziyu's people slaughtered the East Palace, so naturally they will not let Hu Xuehui go. When Yi Xiangxiang asked, she had actually thought of the result.

Meizhou is the most barren place in the Li Dynasty, Qingxuan originally fled from Meizhou to Centennial County when she was still Cui Xiaodie, and then was bought by Yi Xiangxiang to follow her. Meizhou has a perennial famine, and is located in the remote northwest, although there has been no enemy attack in recent years, but there are also many rogues to make trouble! Although the Huwei army entered Beijing to receive military orders, they also knew that if they did not succeed, they would become benevolent, so they acted even more arrogantly. In this palace change, all the women in the East Palace were ruined by them, and Hu Xuehui was good-looking, but she was even more humiliated.

Yi Xiangxiang thought of Hu Xuehui's charming eyes, which were always as clean as dolls. She and Hu Xuehui don't have too deep friendships, but they also like her simplicity and heartiness, and they only felt that it was difficult to see each other again when they separated last time, but they didn't expect it to be such a situation where heaven and man are separated forever. Yi Xiangxiang closed her eyes, pinched her temples, opened them again, and asked:

"Zhao Ziyu held the saint hostage, so how did Zhao Ziqian turn the tide?"

The fox fairy stretched out his hand to brush away the broken hair in front of his forehead, and was about to reply, but was preempted by Pang Hui: "At the time of the incident, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince was dining with Yi Luochuan, the son of the Yi family, and Jiang Xuanrui, the son of the Jiang family, in the Fusheng Pavilion of the Xile Building. After receiving the news of Kang Rui's son, His Royal Highness took Kang Shizi and others into the palace, and under the persecution of the second prince, he unloaded his weapons before entering the palace to confront the traitors. ”

"And then you saved people?" Yi Xiangxiang felt that it was not so simple.

Sure enough, Pang Hui shook his head and continued: "His Royal Highness the Seventh and others entered the palace, but Yi Luochuan took Jiang Xuanrui to secretly gather the people of Huanxi Pavilion, and used the special climbing lock of Huanxi Pavilion to help him leap over the high wall and enter the outside of the Imperial Palace. The Dragon Girl of Huanxi Pavilion changed her appearance into Ye Manwen, the daughter of Ye Huaizhi, and assassinated the traitor Ye Huaizhi at close range. After that, the left protector of the Huanxi Pavilion did not ask, and set fire to the cold palace to disturb the mood of the second prince. So His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince took advantage of the unpreparedness of the second prince and took the knife and killed him. The Holy Lord praised His Royal Highness for his courage and resourcefulness, and also ordered the Yi family and the Jiang family to be rewarded, as well as the Huanxi Pavilion. ”

Xiaoxi, who was listening to the passing by, was a little silly, and asked directly if she didn't understand, so everyone only heard her ask: "Why do you want to burn the cold palace?" ”

The fox fairy didn't give Pang Hui a chance to speak again this time, and hurriedly explained:

"There is Zhao Ziyu's biological mother Concubine Shu living in the cold palace, and catching her can directly threaten Zhao Ziyu. It's a pity that after the boss sneaked in, he didn't realize which one was the concubine, so he could only order the ground. Fortunately, there were not many people on the side of the cold palace, so there were no casualties. ”

The high walls of the palace are not said to be able to be crossed over, and they have to avoid the sight of the Huwei army, because when Mo Wen sneaked in, he couldn't bring someone who knew Concubine Shu to find it, and the people on the other side of the cold palace were already scared to hide in Tibet, and in desperation, Mo Wen could only come up with a bad trick of burning the house.

In fact, after this incident, many people in Huanxi Pavilion felt that in their own boss, they saw the ruffian spirit that only young ladies have. And even Zhao Ziqian joked: "What kind of master leads what kind of subordinates!" But that's all for later.

The general course of the matter is that it is said that Yi Xiangxiang knows that his people are safe, so he is relieved. However, Qing Xuan was still worried, and saw that she asked the fox fairy after changing the new tea for Zhao Zixiu and Yi Xiangxiang: "Does everyone know that Huanxi Pavilion is related to our young lady now?" ”

Her own young lady has always concealed her identity as the lord of the Huanxi Pavilion, and she has not even told the lord and the lady, just for fear that it will attract suspicion.

"Sister Qing, don't worry, our son-in-law is smart! He only said to the saint that he had met with His Royal Highness the Seventh in Tongzhou before, and when he heard that there was a problem in the palace, he went to find a friend from Huanxi Pavilion to rescue him! Speaking of which, Jiang Xuanrui knew that our son-in-law was familiar with Ren Feihong of Renjiazhuang, and even he thought that Huanxi Pavilion was just a friend of his son-in-law in the rivers and lakes! "The son that the fox fairy said naturally refers to Yi Luochuan.

Qing Xuan was relieved when she heard this, as long as it didn't threaten the Yi family, she had nothing to worry about.

And Zhao Zixiu on the side, there is nothing to be angry about, because the matter has come to this, and anger will not help. He took a sip of the new tea on Qingxuan and said, "Seventh brother, this time I picked up a big bargain!" ”

Yi Xiangxiang was disappreciative for a while when she heard this:

"Not necessarily, it's all too much of a coincidence! You have a good secret guard in your house, right? There will be disguised people, right? There is no need for Zhao Ziqian to share this cup of soup with the Yi family, the Jiang family, or even the Huanxi Pavilion! He deliberately brought my brother into Kyoto in advance to participate in such a rescue, in order to tie up the Yi family and Huanxi Pavilion to his boat? Let's not talk about where the Yi family's charm made him toss like this, just ask him how he knew when Zhao Ziyu rebelled? And so much so that I let my brother enter Beijing early? It can be seen that these things have always been under his control. ”

Yi Xiangxiang disagrees with Zhao Zixiu's statement of "picking up cheap", in her opinion, everything may be fueled by Zhao Ziqian, and there must be a button in the middle that has not been untied, so that she has not dredged the veins and joints.

Zhao Zixiu also began to ponder when he heard this, it was indeed too much of a coincidence as Yi Xiangxiang said, he frowned and asked, "How did you know about Tan Pengtao?" ”

"The secret pile of Huanxi Pavilion checked all the people related to the Mo family, only to find out that this Tan Pengtao was abnormal, and he arrested him under tracking." Yi Xiangxiang retold the previous events of the Mo family to Zhao Zixiu.

"No, even if Tan Pengtao has a great relationship with the Mo family, how can he know so clearly about the secret that Mo Zhaoxi doesn't know?"

Zhao Zixiu raised his own questions, because if he was from the Mo family, how could he easily tell a person with a foreign surname that he even hid from his closest relatives? And this person with a foreign surname is still affectionate and faithful to hide in Kyoto to collect evidence of Zhao Ziyu's crimes? You must know that even Mo Zhaoxi's maternal grandfather's family left Beijing early, where did Tan Pengtao get such deep friendship?

Yi Xiangxiang suddenly realized when she heard this: "Damn it!" I didn't think of the key at all! He is a person who sells calligraphy, calligraphy and paintings, even if he has a business, it would be good to be able to support himself, and what else can he use to please those staff! ”

At that time, because of the urgency of the situation, Yi Xiangxiang didn't think about these at all! And if Tan Pengtao was Zhao Ziqian's person from the beginning, all this would make sense.

"We've all been calculated!" This is Zhao Zixiu's summary.

Yi Xiangxiang nodded, agreeing with Zhao Zixiu's words.

Yes, they are all calculated! From the very beginning, Zhao Ziqian prepared a big net and put all of them in the net! But Yi Xiangxiang still didn't understand why Zhao Ziqian wanted to pull the Yi family.

Yongle Juli Zhao Zixiu and Yi Xiangxiang were secretly depressed, and Zhao Ziqian, the protagonist of their discussion, was sitting alone in the Qian'an Courtyard at this time.

She should have guessed by now, right? She's so smart, she must have guessed it! Zhao Ziqian thought so.

That's right, almost all of this series of things happened by Zhao Ziqian. And this plan was already formed when he met Mo Zhaoxi.

That day, he followed Yi Xiangxiang into the Colorful Valley and recognized Mo Zhaoxi, and saw that everyone in the Huanxi Pavilion had a deep friendship, so he had the idea of using the hand of the Huanxi Pavilion as a thrust to thwart Zhao Ziyu.

Zhao Ziqian knew that even if Mo Zhaoxi had changed his name to Mo Wen, if he knew the truth about the collapse of the Mo family, he would definitely go desperate to take revenge, and Yi Xiangxiang would never sit idly by.

In fact, he has been collecting evidence of Zhao Ziyu's crimes. And Tan Pengtao has been secretly rescued by Cheng Xi since he was dismissed in the wrong place, and he is really responsible for investigating the truth of Mo Jingming's resignation and the evidence of Zhao Ziyu's betrayal, but Cheng Xi is secretly helping him.

Zhao Ziqian knew that Yi Xiangxiang was secretly tracking down the Mo family, so he asked Tan Pengtao to deliberately expose his horse's feet for Huanxi Pavilion, and everything after that went naturally.

Mo asked to enter Beijing was expected by Zhao Ziqian, but he didn't expect Yi Xiangxiang to pay attention to himself and follow him into Beijing, so his anxiety at that time was also true, he was afraid that Yi Xiangxiang would follow him into the Second Prince's Mansion. Yi Xiangxiang doesn't know martial arts, and if she enters the Second Prince's Mansion, she will definitely suffer. Later, when he saw Yi Xiangxiang in Meihuanyuan, he was really relieved.

Zhao Ziqian knew that if Yi Xiangxiang knew about Concubine De's encouragement, she would definitely not let Concubine De go easily, so this account book would definitely be handed over to Zhao Zixiu, and Yi Xiangxiang would definitely contribute to Zhao Ziyu and Zhao Zixiu's mutual killing! As for the fact that he volunteered to go to the court to uncover the matter as soon as possible, it was just to make things more natural.

There was no deviation in the plan, and Zhao Zixiu felt that this matter would not be a big problem for him, so he went to uncover the case of selling officials. Although he later used Concubine De's mistakes to suppress his reputation, he was still besieged by the crown prince and the seventh prince, and was secretly demoted to Tongzhou by the saint.

There is also a reason why Zhao Ziqian got rid of Zhao Zixiu, the crown prince Zhao Zilin just took advantage of the tooth order, and his talent was not within the scope of Zhao Ziqian's jealousy, so he only supported the smart Zhao Zixiu, what he was afraid of was that if the latter was in Kyoto, he would find out Ye Huaizhi's plan.

Ye Huaizhi, as the secretary of the military department, had already known about the installation of Zeng Hong in the Weihu Wei Army, because Li Yuanming, the general of the Huwei Army, was loyal to the saint, but in fact he was Zhao Ziqian's person! It was Ye Huaizhi's small actions that he knew clearly, and the reason why he didn't stop it at the beginning was to save the car at the end.

Ye Manwen's entry into the Second Prince's Mansion was in his plan, because only in this way would the fall of Zhao Ziyu and his imprisonment inevitably affect the Ye family! Ye Huaizhi is an ambitious one, and he will definitely break the boat!

And the prince's life is not guaranteed, not because Zhao Ziqian can't save it, but because the prince who occupies the eldest son must die, otherwise he has no chance! However, he didn't expect Zhao Ziyu to be so mad that he slaughtered the entire East Palace.

Now for Zhao Ziqian, he is very close to success, and now he is the most trusted son of his father! And this son doesn't seem to have any ambitions, and even the rescuers who moved in are just some low-ranking ministers' families, and the rivers and lakes are reckless! Such a man is far more advantageous than Zhao Zixiu!

And the whole plan that caused such a situation was only known to him and Cheng Xi, and even Kang Rui and Xiong Wei were hidden. This is why Kang Rui would recruit Tan Pengtao before, because he didn't know that Tan Pengtao was already their own person!

The reason why Zhao Ziqian concealed Kang Rui and Xiong Wei was not because of distrust, but because Cheng Xi was following up on the things that Tan Pengtao had secretly investigated in recent years, because he had not specifically mentioned it before, and he was afraid that they would subconsciously protect Tan Pengtao and attract Zhao Ziyu's attention, after all, everyone knew that Kang Rui and Xiong Wei were from the Seven Princes' Mansion. Later, he didn't tell him about it, because Xiong Wei and Yi Xiangxiang were familiar with each other, and his lie must not be able to deceive Yi Xiangxiang.

As for why Zhao Ziqian took the risk and secretly arranged for Yi Luochuan and others to enter Beijing, and then logically participated in the rescue with him, it was all because the shadow sent back the news that Zhao Zixiu and the Yi family were friendly. Although Zhao Zixiu was secretly demoted, on the road to the throne, he was Zhao Ziqian's enemy after all. It is because Zhao Ziqian will not give Zhao Zixiu the opportunity to win over the Yi family, so he must turn the Yi family into his own people.

Zhao Ziqian sat down, imagining how angry Yi Xiangxiang should be when he received the news, but he didn't regret what he did.

That's the way it is in the royal family, if you fight either you die or I live, he must be the ultimate victor!

In fact, on the day when Yi Xiangxiang persuaded him to "fold flowers", he had already given up Yi Xiangxiang in hesitation, he was willing to let her not participate in this battle, and was willing to let her live in the trajectory she wanted.

But!

When he received the news that Zhao Zixiu was approaching Yi Xiangxiang, his only thought at that time was that he had to lock this person by his side by any means!

He knew that even if they each wanted different things, they were not all the way, but he had to pull Yi Xiangxiang along!

In fact, he only now understands that since he heard Yi Xiangxiang and the maid discussing whether he was a concubine in the side room of Yongle Residence, he subconsciously reserved the position of the main concubine, and he didn't plan to let her go at all.

I don't know what to do, and I go deep.
