In the late autumn of the sixth year of Xingyuan, on the last day of the autumn hunting, there were aliens who drove thousands of poisonous snakes to follow thousands of black-clothed men with strong martial arts to besiege the emperor's palace. More than half of the 5,000 Royal Foresters were killed and wounded, but they could not withstand the enemy's attack. At the moment of crisis, Tang Xinyang took the specially trained palace guards and Li Yi, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and the special guards in the Imperial Forest Army to stand on the wall of flesh to protect the emperor and the queen, and the Tang family Sun Xintian took the Jingwei of the Tang Gate and other courtiers and generals who accompanied him to guard nearly 800 people to block the black-clothed people, and Xinye took the guards of Baicaotang Gyeonggi Province to set off medicinal smoke to drive away poisonous snakes. After a day and a night of hard fighting, more than half of the vipers were burned and killed, and the rest fled. When the snake formation was broken, the men in black had no help, and fought and retreated, except for less than 100 people who escaped, the rest were killed or captured.

On the same day, the deposed prince Yixiang infiltrated the capital and led 20,000 people from the Jingdong guerrilla battalion to the palace. The Queen Mother, as usual, at the beginning of each autumn hunt, went to the royal hunting ground with the emperor for a few days and returned to the palace early. This is no different. In recent years, the Queen Mother has long been out of government politics, mostly in the harem, and faded out of people's sight. After many years, people have almost forgotten that the Empress Dowager Chen Bihua once assisted the first emperor Dongping in the Goryeo Rebellion, and was intercepted by the Mongolian sharp division, which once shocked the government and the opposition, and brought fifteen years of peace for the Celestial Empire. It is also because of the military exploits of that year that the emperor was afraid of the inside, but he had no courage to change the queen. Now although the Queen Mother is too old and spends most of her time in the palace, it does not mean that she has become a soft persimmon.

Yixiang's men and horses have not yet arrived at the palace wall, the queen mother took the female officials around her and the Jingwei who stayed behind to pacify the eunuchs who were in rebellion, when Yixiang arrived at the palace gate, I saw the imperial grandmother standing on the palace gate with people, sacred and inviolable, and the soldiers accompanying the Jingdong guerrilla battalion were also shocked by the empress dowager's temperament and lost their courage. Only the red-clothed master and thousands of masked warriors who followed Yixiang were still clamoring. Chen Bihua didn't look at them at all, but focused on Gao Deqing on Yixiang's side.

"Master Gao, it seems that you are in good spirits! Many of the supplements that the Emperor gave you back then seem to be extremely effective. Chen Bihua's words are full of irony. With the appearance of a group of foreign killers, Mr. Gao also felt ashamed, but now, the arrow has to be sent.

"Chen Bihua, the first emperor had an edict, set up the prince Yixiang as the crown prince, and inherited the unification in the future, you are a woman and a Taoist family, you should not interfere in politics, but you have interfered in politics again and again, and you have abolished the heir elected by the first emperor."

"Yixiang was deposed only because he was disloyal and unfilial, not a king. ”

"Imperial Grandmother, why is Yixiang so disgusted by you?"

"The imperial grandmother has never been tired of you, but she has become more and more disappointed in you over the years."

"This is all forced by you, This prince has been taught by Shizun since he was a child, and he is very respectful to the Queen Mother, lest you be dissatisfied with the palace, but no matter how hard the palace works, it can't get into your eyes, You only have Yiyi in your heart, Whether it's a good thing or a good person, You give it to him, it's your grandson, the Queen Mother is too partial."

"You ask yourself if it's because you're sad or if you're not doing it yourself. Since I was a child, I have invited a few of your brothers to practice martial arts, and taught you the way to be a king, but you think about what you have done. Now it is even more rebellious, leading troops to force the palace. ”

"The Queen Mother doesn't say it so badly, they just think that the Queen Mother is unfair to the palace, and accompany the emperor and grandson into the palace to comment on the old man of the Queen Mother. How could a grandson do such an unfilial thing as forcing the palace? ”

"Really? Who are these men in black behind you? I also accompanied you into the palace to comment? And this red-clothed master, when did people who did not obey the ancient fan country enter the palace at will? ”

Yixiang was suddenly nervous, if the Queen Mother already knew the identities of these black-clothed people, whether she had made preparations to deal with him, he was unwilling to delay any longer: "Imperial grandmother, my grandson is still willing to call you grandmother at this moment, that is, I still respect your old man in terms of blood, don't force me." ”

"The mourning family forced you, forced you to have an affair with a foreigner?"

"Grandmother Huang, don't say such ugly words, other allies and neighbors just think that you are unfair to your grandson, so you lent troops to your grandson to strengthen his courage. If you can get your father to issue an edict to restore my crown prince's throne and cede the throne to the palace, the prince will ensure that they will not hurt the people in the palace in the slightest, let alone the queen mother. ”

"Just you?"

"Yes, just today's grandchildren. The Imperial Grandmother may not know yet, but she expects the people of the Six Gates of Soldiers and Horses or the Imperial Forest Army to come to the rescue, right?! They have long been tired of seeing you spoiling Yiyi in your own way, and now they want to help their grandchildren to judge. ”

"Oh, really?"

"Isn't your old man also relying on the Tang family? It's a pity that the brothers of the Tang family have all gone to the hunting grounds, and I don't know if they can live now. ”

"What else did you do?"

"There are many more, of course, including inviting the Queen Mother's close friend and Uncle Chen of the palace to accompany the prince, so that maybe the Queen Mother will give more face and bring people up." Yixiang said arrogantly. The man in black brought up a group of old ministers who had not accompanied the court to the autumn hunt, and these people were the pillars of the queen mother in the court.

Gao Deqing beside him frowned, this was not in his plan, it was all designed by the red-clothed master and Yixiang. Although he helped Yixiang restore the throne in order to fulfill his promise to the former emperor, he did not want to hurt his colleagues in the court, not to mention that most of these people were honest and loyal ministers in the court.

"Please ask the Queen Mother to issue an edict to let them open the palace gate, and at the same time pass on the decree to abolish the crown prince of Yiyi, the will left by the emperor's grandfather back then, and copy the crown prince's position."

"Don't think about you, an unfilial obstacle."

"Queen Mother, I hope you can figure it out, this prince's patience is limited. Give you a quarter of an hour to open the palace gate, otherwise once the knives of these warriors are unsheathed, they will need to see blood, I will start with the first writer of the dynasty that you admire the most, Lord Situ of the Hanlin Academy. Lord Situ wrote a lot of beautiful essays for the imperial grandmother back then, and praised you very much. Don't you look at the friendship back then? ”

"The queen mother doesn't have to worry about the old ministers, it is an honor for the ministers to be favored by the emperor and the queen mother in this life, and to write for the emperor and queen." Although Lord Situ was escorted by the man in black, his demeanor was still elegant and calm.

"You can be loyal to the Queen Mother, it seems that it was rumored that Lord Situ was the Queen Mother's subordinate back then..."Yi Xiang said this quite despicably and obscenely, and at the same time, his movements were even more unstoppable, he held a sword in his hand, and slapped Lord Situ's cheek contemptuously.

"Yixiang, you brute, don't let Master Situ go soon."

"Yo, Lord Chen, Uncle Chen, what are you anxious about, could it be that the Queen Mother and this guy have a personal match, Lord Chen?"

"Yixiang......"Old Master Chen was so angry with him that he couldn't speak.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't waste time for them, a quarter of an hour alone." The red-clothed master suddenly struck out and pushed the sword in Yixiang's hand to tease Master Situ, slitting his throat. The moment Lord Situ's blood splashed on Yixiang's face, he was stunned, he just wanted to threaten the Queen Mother, and he didn't really want Situ's life. This person is the master of the Hanlin Academy, and he is also the enlightened master of history when he was a child.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, do you still want to give up? For today's plan, we can only hurry up, let's go to the palace and talk about it. The red-clothed master said coldly.

Yi Xiang suddenly regretted that the red-clothed master cooperated, he vaguely felt that he had been fooled, but he didn't have time to think about it at the moment, and pointed the bloody sword at the queen mother's brother: "Let people open the palace gate, otherwise the next one will be uncle."

"Yixiang, you bastard, now you are actually usurping the throne, introducing foreign clans into the capital, and betraying the city to trade with them for military support for you, what face do you have to be the king of a country, how can you defend this country?!"

"Don't talk nonsense, open the palace door, otherwise you will collect the body for Lord Chen."

Chen Bihua ignored him, but turned to Mr. Gao: "Gao Deqing, this is what you planned with the emperor?" Bringing foreigners into Beijing to kill the ministers of the DPRK and China? ”

"Minister..."

"Gao Deqing, since you know that you are a minister, you should know the way to be a minister. Whoever sits on this throne is our own business, but if you attract foreigners, you will no longer be a minister of my Celestial Empire, and even if you are, you will be a traitor. A loud voice remembered, followed by a spirited team, not outnumbered by the guerrilla battalion that had followed Yixiang. The one who spoke was an old general with a crane hair and a childish face, this person is a veteran general of the DPRK and China, and he respects the country and the public health pass: "The old minister sees the queen mother, and the minister is ordered to lead the soldiers of the Xishan Direct Guard Battalion to escort him." ”

The arrival of Jing Guogong caught Gao Deqing and Yixiang off guard: "Why did General Wei enter the city?!" Yixiang expressed his doubts, Jing Guogong took people into the city, but no one informed him.

"Just because of your yellow mouth, you think that you can buy off the six admirals and put you rebellious and foreign spies into the city to make a big deal? Huang Yong, the commander of the six gates, is the old man's apprentice, if he can be tempted by you, the old man would rather go to the first emperor and die in front of the spirit. "Satcom is quite disdainful of Yixiang.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't talk nonsense with them, they are just ordinary soldiers, let's do it quickly." The red-clothed master hurriedly ordered, "Tuoda, let your people cure that old man." "Tuoda is the leader of three thousand warriors sent by the Mongol prince of Timur. This group of people has undergone special training, is equipped with martial arts, and when they are marching in battle, they do not conform to the entanglement of ordinary sergeants, and the goal is to win the leader of the other side.

Tuoda had just raised his right hand, and before he could give the order, he fell to the ground strangely. After he fell to the ground, people saw the man in black standing behind him slowly wiping the blood from the dagger in his hand. This scene is extremely amazing, Tuoda is one of the ten warriors under the prince of Timur, and it is actually solved silently. Just when everyone was in a daze for the weird scene, an even weirder scene was revealed. I saw that some of the black-clothed masked people had an extra golden ribbon on their left arm at some point, and these black-clothed people with golden ribbons found their nearest black-clothed man who was not wearing a ribbon. And the means of attack are precise and ruthless, and they are obviously the methods of top-level assassins. After the black-clothed men who did not wear ribbons fell, a group of black-clothed people surrounded Yixiang and the red-clothed master with weapons in their hands, and the black-clothed men who had just assassinated Tuoda took off their masked scarves, ignoring the daze soldiers in the guerrilla battalion, and bowed down to Chen Bihua: "The subordinates of the Chenping Luan Pavilion, the commander of the Jinzi Duwei Yu Menghai, were ordered by the Yutai General of the Pingluan Pavilion to bring the Jinbu Jiazi Battalion and the Tubu T-Battalion to the ancient Fanguo and Mongolian fine works that had entered Beijing. ”

Pingluan Pavilion is a special existence established during the reign of Emperor Xuanwen, the great-ancestor of the current emperor. Dedicated to gathering intelligence, tracking down and eliminating enemy countries, monitoring and eliminating those who plot rebellion. His Excellency Ping Luan belongs to the five ministries of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, the gold ministry specializes in killing spies and rebels, the wood ministry specializes in civil affairs, the water ministry specializes in the court and courtiers, the fire ministry specializes in enemy countries and surrounding subject countries, and the earth ministry serves as a mobile support for the other four departments. It can be said that it controls the most important force to maintain the security of the Celestial Empire in addition to military power. The leaders of the five departments of Pingluan Pavilion are controlled by General Yutai on weekdays, and General Yutai has been appointed by the emperor. The civil and military ministers of the DPRK and the civil officials are all from official careers, and they have been promoted step by step through examinations at all levels, and the military generals have either passed the military examinations or fought from the soldiers step by step through military exploits, but the candidates for this Yutai general are not necessarily from these two places. Those in high positions tend to choose those they can trust and have the most ability to control. Although he is a general, this position is sometimes attended by literati, as long as the emperor is willing.

The previous general Yutai was a capable civil official, although he was powerless, but he was thousands of miles away in his strategy. In particular, the meticulous treatment of foreign countries is very spicy and deters neighboring countries. It's just that this Yutai general somehow quietly disappeared a few years ago, and I still don't know whether he is dead or alive. His family in Beijing was suddenly wiped out overnight. There are various speculations about the murderer, some say that it was a killer from outside, and some say that it was a killer hired by the political enemies of the DPRK and China. Jingzhao Mansion Yin was also inconclusive, so it became an unsolved case.

In the past few years, because the operation of the Pingluan Pavilion does not need to be reported to the courtiers, except for the royal people, they don't know who is in control of the operation. At this time, Yu Menghai suddenly said that he was ordered by General Yutai, and he had to be surprised and confused. Is it the new Yutai general or the original? If it was the original, where was he all these years? If you trust General Yutai, who is he? This time, Yixiang brought a large group of people into Beijing, It was the time to show his loyalty, why did he only send his subordinates to come, and he didn't show up?

But no matter who this Yutai general is, this battle is indeed too dazzling. The Mongol warriors and the killers of the ancient kingdom were known for their martial prowess, fierceness and brilliance. It is also one of the capitals that these two countries come to the Celestial Empire from time to time to show off. However, on the way to Beijing this time, half of them were quietly replaced by the people of the Pingluan Pavilion, and they were not noticed, and the remaining half was instantly wiped out before the main room could fight, and this kind of combat power was still only two small teams of the Ministry of Gold and the Ministry of Earth, and the people who trained and controlled them were even more unfathomable. All of a sudden, Wenchen, who had been quite critical of these secretly existing forces, was impressed; For those who always feel that Pingluan Pavilion has a good life, they don't have to rely on their military exploits to win little by little like them, at this time they know that the people of Pingluan Pavilion are also the generous and generous treatment of the imperial court who have taken their lives, and they don't necessarily have such good kung fu if they want to take that road.

Also on the same day, the Hosaku of the various countries in Beijing quickly sent a detailed report of the battle to their own countries, as well as the astonishing lethality of Pingluan Pavilion. Some of them began to panic all day long, wondering if they had really not been discovered by the Pingluan Pavilion, or if they had already discovered them silently, just watching them silently. It's hard to get through this kind of mouse life that is teased by a cat, and I don't know if the domineering cat is right to stick out its claws.
