Zhang Xiuting stared incredulously and asked, "What did you say?" There are only a dozen of you left in the palace? ”

"Yes, Lord Zhang, yesterday the king of Dong'an County entered the palace and said that the capital has been in chaos recently, and the people are panicking, and they want us to strengthen the guards in the palace, and then I don't know where to transfer five hundred elite soldiers, saying that I want everyone to defend the inner court together."

Zhang Xiuting's jaw almost dropped in fright, and he scolded loudly: "There was such a big incident, why didn't you report it to me yesterday?" ”

The guard wiped his tears with his sleeve and said, "The king of Dong'an came to look for you, and it just so happened that you went to the archives, and the king of Dong'an said that he went to the archives to find you and told you in person." And I don't have to tell you. ”

said that it was a joint defense, but it must have been a secret exchange. "What about the original five hundred inner court guards?" Zhang Xiuting confirmed again.

The guard said, "It's all gone, come here this morning, and all you see along the way are fresh faces." ”

Zhang Xiuting suddenly thought that the three thousand Yulin Army outside might have also been replaced, and asked, "Has the Yulin Army outside been replaced?" ”

Seeing Zhang Xiuting's ugly face, the little eunuch was so anxious that he burst into tears, and stammered unclearly.

"Don't cry yet! I'm asking you! Zhang Xiuting was also so anxious that he roared loudly.

Concubine Dong'an replied lightly: "Zhang Xiang, if you ask so fiercely, of course people will be scared and cry by you." Or this palace will tell you, the suburbs of Beijing, in the second half of yesterday, the thief caught fire, and the king of Dong'an County transferred the Yulin army to the fire to catch the thief. ”

"Nonsense! There are Yulin troops guarding the suburbs of Beijing, how can they be caught fire by thieves? ”

Concubine Dong'an smiled coldly: "If you don't believe it, Zhang Xiang asked this little brother." ”

Before Zhang Xiuting could speak, the guards kept nodding, and Zhang Xiuting suddenly became a little sluggish, looking at the guards blankly.

"Master Zhang, I thought you knew that the king of Dong'an said that he told you personally, so I didn't tell you!"

"Say no more! Stop it! Zhang Xiuting said desperately.

Concubine Dong'an didn't plan to let Zhang Xiuting go, and said to more than a dozen imperial guards: "What are you doing in a daze, take down Zhang Xiuting!" ”

Zhang Xiuting instantly shook off the despair in her eyes, stared at Concubine Dong'an fiercely, and said iron-cladly: "Who dares!" I am the head of the guards, the minister of the guards, who of you dares! ”

Concubine Dong'an raised her eyes and said fiercely: "Selling tofu on the stage, the business is not big, and your shelf is not small!" ”

Zhang Xiuting put away the despair in her heart, tried to use the Avenue of Heaven and Earth Monarchs and Ministers to influence Concubine Dong'an, her eyes were covered with tears, and she said earnestly: "Concubine Niangniang, without the emperor's edict, privately changing the palace guards and other complicit rebellion, as long as the concubine Niangniang can restrain herself from the precipice, the minister will definitely recommend the emperor not to pursue it again!" ”

"You don't pursue Hongu? How can a dead ghost recommend the emperor? ”

"Concubine! The minister persuaded you so hard for the sake of you and the king of Dong'an County, and you have to get it until you can't turn back, are you satisfied? ”

"Traitorous villain, it would be a scourge to keep you, come and take down Zhang Xiuting!"

Not far away, a neat line of guards, carrying torches, ran in this direction. In the dim twilight, as if death had descended, he rushed to the Zichen Palace.

Walking to the front of the hall, a group of guards divided into four roads, all the way to capture Zhang Xiuting, two outside the three roads all the way to stand in front of the palace, and the other two roads were stationed on both sides of the main hall. Zhang Xiuting made a visual inspection, and these four teams of people were just 200 people, surrounding the entire Zichen Palace.

Fifty guards were already blocking the entrance of the Zichen Palace, and Zhang Xiuting said loudly to more than a dozen imperial guards: "You are the emperor's imperial guards, and you swear to guard this door!" ”

When more than a dozen guards heard this, they immediately stood by and drew their swords to confront the fifty guards in front of them.

The situation is on the verge of escalation. Both sides are ready to go back and can't turn back.

"Take down Zhang Xiuting!" Concubine Dong'an commanded fifty guards and shouted.

"Who dares! If you take another step, it is equivalent to complicity in rebellion, this is a capital crime of the nine clans, and if you don't want to live, you just have to move forward. ”

"Villain, when death is imminent, you dare to bark!"

"Concubine, it seems that you are determined to get along with your ancestors and ancestors. You are no longer breaking into the palace, you are rebelling, and you are forcing the palace! ”

"Zhang Xiuting, you dare to talk nonsense, I will kill you with my own hands!" Concubine Dong'an could hardly be calm when she heard the word 'rebellion', and when she saw dozens of guards, she didn't dare to do anything, so she could only draw her own knife and do it herself.

said that it was too late, when Concubine Dong'an's knife was about to stab Zhang Xiuting's stomach, she thought that Zhang Xiuting would hide or retreat, but Zhang Xiuting stiffened her neck and said: "Assassinating the former confidential minister, this is a capital crime, a capital crime!" ”

Concubine Dong'an was extremely angry by this sentence, and the glowing light of the fire shone on Concubine Dong'an's already hideous and deranged face, and suddenly stabbed the long knife in her hand into Zhang Xiuting's abdomen.

"Ahh Then a face of shock and anger was exposed in front of Concubine Dong'an.

This face is Zhang Xiuting, he is not dead, when Concubine Dong'an's knife was about to stab Zhang Xiuting, someone stepped forward and blocked the knife with his own flesh and blood.

This person is the crying guard just now, "Master Zhang, I was wrong, you have cultivated for many years, I was wrong" The guard fell in a pool ......of blood with unfinished words. The bubbling blood poured out from under the blade of the knife at the mouth of the heart.

Zhang Xiuting didn't care about the dead guards, and stood in front of Concubine Dong'an covered in blood, trying to use her own flesh and blood to protect the emperor's last barrier.

"Concubine, if you take one step further, it will be an abyss."

"Shechen! Vicious dogs! How dare you get in the way! "Concubine Dong'an was even more frantic by the blood, and she had begun to speak at a loss!

Zhang Xiuting suddenly lowered his head and pulled out the life-killing knife from the dead guard, and in an instant, a ghostly blood flower spurted out of the guard's chest and splashed on Zhang Xiuting's face.

Zhang Xiuting held the blood-stained long knife together in front of his chest, and said as if he were dead: "Concubine, I am bitter, you are obsessed, I can only die as a martyr!" Whoever dares to step forward, I will stab them to death with this knife! ”

Seeing that Zhang Xiuting had gone crazy, Prince Yi stepped forward to dissuade him: "Zhang Xiang, why are you doing this? You stopped us from seeing the emperor......"

"Shut up, as a relative of the emperor, the younger brother of the first emperor, before the first emperor died, he named you the prince, so that he wanted you to assist the young master, and he actually helped the abuse and bullied the young son of the first emperor!" Zhang Xiuting roared at Prince Yi.

"Don't talk nonsense to him! Come and take down Zhang Xiuting! Lawfully kill on sight! Concubine Dong'an shouted at the guards behind her.

The misery of torches, the sound of scabbards touching willow nails, and the ghostly summer breeze on summer nights are intertwined into the last picture before forcing the palace.

More than a dozen guards had already removed the long knives in Zhang Xiuting's hands, and Concubine Dong'an shouted fiercely under the ghostly torch: "Correct the law on the spot, correct the law on the spot!" ”

A loud voice pierced through the growing night, "Stop! Stop it! ”

Prince Rong hurried in with nearly a hundred guards from the Northwest Institute, but before he could enter, a guard who was guarding in front of the palace had already fallen in a pool of blood.

Prince Rong raised his arms and shouted: "Whoever dares to act rashly, this is the end!" ”

More than a dozen guards holding Zhang Xiuting were in place, and Prince Rong pointed at the guard who killed him with a knife and shouted: "Put down the knife for this king!" Retreat to the Zichen Gate! ”

More than a dozen guards brought by Concubine Dong'an suddenly let go of their hands and looked at Concubine Dong'an blankly.

"Stand down! Stand down! ”

Prince Rong didn't dare to say a word more at this time, because any intimidation or coercion could provoke a Jedi counterattack. The only thing that can suppress the situation is to let them put down their knives first and exit the Zichen Gate.

The guards brought by Concubine Dong'an were obviously a little shaken, and their eyes kept swaying between Concubine Dong'an and Prince Rong.

"Sixth, are you going to rebel?" Concubine Dong'an struck first.

"Concubine, if you can't say anything well, you have to bring troops into the palace to meet the emperor!"

"Sixth, you ......"

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, concubine, please respect yourself!" Prince Rong said this sentence mercilessly, raising himself to the moral high ground.

"You ......" Concubine Dong'an panicked.

"Eighth uncle, did you move the people to come over to visit the emperor?" Prince Rong shouted angrily.

"Sixth, how do you talk to your uncle!"

"Take these clansmen back!" Prince Rong did not save face for Prince Yi at all.

A few clan relatives who rushed ducks to the shelves had already begun to turn around, and Concubine Dong'an shouted: "Can't go, maybe Long Yu is already in Bintian, and they don't mourn secretly, in order to usurp power!" ”

The clan relatives who had already raised their feet put down their legs again and stood in place in a daze, in case the dragon really controlled Bintian, there was a chance that Concubine Dong'an would be the queen mother of the new dynasty, and if she left at this time, wouldn't it be tantamount to offending the new monarch.

Prince Rong didn't pay attention to Concubine Dong'an's roar at all, and said to Concubine Dong'an's guards: "Take the concubine away!" ”

"Sixth, do you want to get rid of the palace?"

"Concubine, one step further is doomed. Are you really going to take this step? ”

"Nonsense, since the main palace is here today, I don't plan to leave, the main palace of the Zichen Palace must go in today!" Turning to the guards, he said, "Split the gate of Zichen Palace, this palace must see if the emperor is dead or alive today." ”

Prince Rong squeezed from the crowd to the entrance of the palace, pointed the long knife in his hand at Concubine Dong'an and said, "Whoever dares to take a step closer, it will be killed!" ”

"Just the hundred people in your hand?" Concubine Dong'an looked up to the sky and smiled, and her voice was like a female ghost.

"Even if there is only one king, he won't let you in!"

"Presumptuous! There are 500 internal guards behind the main palace, and there are 3,000 Yulin troops! ”

"There are also nine admirals outside the palace, and there are three major camps in Gyeonggi outside the nine gates, all of which are one and the same as the emperor. Don't be delusional, concubine. ”

"Admiral of the Nine Gates? Three big battalions in Gyeonggi? are all one with the emperor? Waha......" After the concubine Dong'an laughed like crazy, she said fiercely: "You take the emperor's tiger talisman and try it to see if you can transfer a soldier and a pawn!" ”

'Squeak', breaking the already white-hot two sides, Concubine Dong'an looked at the emperor with a face full of pus, and was so frightened that she couldn't close her mouth.
