"No, you must take the palace tonight, otherwise you will have a lot of dreams at night."

Chen Jin thought about it and paid attention when night fell, making Hu Su extremely uneasy by his side, for fear that he would be defeated if he was not careful.

Chen Shou agreed with Chen Jin's idea, he was more afraid of Ling Husu, rather than suffering like this, it was better to be straightforward.

"But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the palace is extremely difficult to capture."

Chen Jin's faction did not recognize his status as a prince, and he was still called the crown prince.

Chen Jin paced hurriedly, thought for a while, sneered ruthlessly, and said: "They are hiding in the palace, but their families are still outside, and the order will be sent down to arrest the family members of the prime minister, the six Shangshu, and other officials above the fourth grade, and bring them to the palace gate, if they don't surrender, I will kill them, and they will be afraid to do it." ”

Chen Shou stood up with a hint of horror in his eyes, and loudly dissuaded: "No, no, Your Highness will offend the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty like this." ”

"Hmph, are you still afraid of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs when you come to this one? Big deal, I'll change another batch after I ascend the throne. ”

Chen Shou felt a chill in his heart, he realized for the first time that he was on the wrong boat, Chen Jin was too bold to dare to risk the world's condemnation, no matter whether he succeeded or not, he Chen Shou would be infamy.

"What, don't you go yet? Don't forget, if Chen Susu enters the city, you will inevitably die, and we can only fight to the death. ”

Chen Shou nodded yes and went out immediately.

In the palace, Xu Yi and a group of secret guards got together to discuss.

"Manager Xu, Your Majesty said that he is going to enter the city tonight, let Manager Xu find a way to open the city gate."

Xu Yi thought for a while, and replied: "Go and tell Your Majesty, I will find a way to open the city gate at the right time." ”

"Good!"

A group of people quickly dispersed, hidden in the night, Xu Yi returned to the hall, and Su Liu was sighing.

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty will enter the city tonight, please ask the Queen Mother to gather other ministers, and we will go to meet Your Majesty when the time comes."

Su Liu was overjoyed and asked, "Really?" ”

"Seriously, but the city gate was locked by the city guards, and the old slave was worried that his subordinates would not be able to get through, so he would go with him. When the time comes, the Queen Mother must be more careful. ”

"Don't worry, I'll stay with the ministers."

"Good! The old slave went to prepare first. ”

After Linghu Su got the news, he immediately set off, leading five thousand guards in front, and the Royal Forest Army followed closely.

The reason why it acts at night is to not be detected and taken by surprise. When the gates are opened, he will be able to control the capital in one fell swoop.

Chen Jin and Chen Shou did not notice Linghu Su's movements, because they were wantonly arresting the family members of officials, one by one, making chickens and dogs jump, and they were angry.

Su Liu told the news to the ministers, most of them were overjoyed, and shouted God bless Da Chen, especially Wen Zhong and Fei Qing, and breathed a sigh of relief, they are the first of the hundred officials, and their hair is almost white these days.

However, as soon as I arrived at two o'clock in the evening, that is, at half past seven in the evening, I heard the sound of killing outside the palace.

A eunuch hurriedly ran over and reported in a trembling voice: "Report to the Queen Mother and the ministers, the rebels have surrounded the palace, and, and, and held the ministers' families hostage, saying that if they don't open the palace gate, they will slaughter the family members, kill one person every half an hour, and kill them until there is no more." ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were terrified, and even collapsed on the ground in fright, crying.

Su Liu was furious: "Chen Jin, why is it like this? ”

Everyone was speechless, and waited until five minutes later, when a eunuch rushed in.

"The rebels have killed one person."

"Who is it?"

"The grandson of Lord Zhao."

Hearing this, a certain white-bearded old minister screamed miserably, and he fainted, and the courtiers around him hurriedly supported him.

Chen Jin is still a little sensible, and the first to kill are the family members of marginal ministers, such as this Lord Zhao, who is a squire in the Ministry of Industry, and his official position is not big, but it is not small. He would never dare to kill the prime minister and the family members of the six Shangshu, so it was just a threat.

"Queen Mother, what can I do now?"

The ministers asked for their opinions, especially those with lower ranks, and even knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, for fear that their families would suffer bad luck.

Where did Su Liu come up with the idea, sitting on the top with a gloomy face, Wen Zhong and Fei Qing also bowed their heads and were silent. As the so-called Xiucai meets soldiers, it is unreasonable to say, they are scholars, not generals.

Ling Hu Su learned the news from the secret guard halfway, and was immediately furious, if it was according to the normal plan, he would probably need to kill and injure twenty or thirty ministers' families when he entered the city. This is still good, what I am most worried about is that Su Liu can't withstand the pressure to open the palace door, and when the time comes, Chen Jin will hold Su Liu hostage, and it will be really difficult for him to do it.

Fortunately, when Su Liu mentioned opening the palace gate, the ministers unanimously said that they would not open it, and they were willing to sacrifice their lives for the country. Su Liu was very moved and said that no matter what the result is, he will treat you well.

"Let Xu Yi not wait, and open the city gate quickly. Cheng Jin, lead a hundred masters, follow me first. ”

Linghu Su asked the secret guard to enter the city to inform Xu Yi that he led a group of people to break away from the army, rode wildly, and went to the capital.

There are about a thousand people defending the south city gate, and on weekdays, there will only be a hundred people here.

"Alas, the struggle for power and profit from above, let us kill each other below, when is it a head."

"Yes! My younger brother is in the Imperial Forest, but he is lucky, and he will not kill each other when he goes out with His Majesty this time. ”

"Zhao Er of the third battalion is miserable, the two elder brothers are in the Imperial Forest Army, a few days ago our city guards attacked the palace, and one of his elder brothers died in front of him, that scene, tsk!"

"I heard that His Majesty has returned?"

"It seems so, I really hope to enter the city quickly, I don't want to be charged with rebels."

The city guards were talking in twos and threes, and they didn't notice a group of black-clothed men speeding from the night.

"Who?"

Someone found that what was ushered in was a knife.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack."

The city guards hurriedly took up their weapons and formed an array, blocking the city gates, and there was even a small group of city guards with rifles in their hands.

The man in black was blocked from going and could only stop in front of the array, and the man in front of him showed his face, it was Xu Yi, and he shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is outside the city, please open the city gate and let Your Majesty enter the city." ”

The city guards were at a loss, looking at each other, not knowing what to do.

The battalion commander was dressed in armor and held a large knife in his hand, and shouted angrily: "Don't listen to this person's rhetoric, there is no His Majesty outside the city, these are all traitors, everyone, ready to fight." ”

Xu Yi's eyes were cold, his figure flashed away, and he appeared on the side of the battalion commander in a moment, slapped it with one palm, and actually slapped the battalion commander high, fell on the city wall, and fell into it without falling, which shows the strength of this palm.

A rifleman shot nervously, but Xu Yi took the bullet and did not suffer any damage.

"I can kill all of you, but Nian Zaier and the others are all the people of my Chen country, innocent people, so I won't kill the killer and get out of the way quickly."

The south gate is the focus of defense, in addition to 1,000 people, there are a whole 10,000 people stationed on the side, and it is estimated that they have set off at this moment and are about to arrive. Xu Yi was anxious, he could retreat among 10,000 people, but he couldn't open the city gate.

After a short wait, one of the soldiers stepped out of the way, which then set off a chain reaction, and the others moved out of the way, making a way.

"Thank you!"

Xu Yi led the man in black through and rushed to the city gate.

"Let's help you!"

"Good! When Your Majesty enters the city, he will definitely ask for credit for you. ”

"I don't need credit, I just don't want to be my brother's enemy."
