"Miyagi is also besieged by rebels?" Gu Qing listened to Gu Mingzhu's words, his face changed greatly, and he stood up in disbelief, "The Miyagi Praetorian Guard is the guard of the Son of Heaven, and it has always been under the control of the Son of Heaven himself, and even the Queen of Heaven has no power to mobilize, how can it be ......?"

Gu Mingzhu was in the dust, sitting on the banquet and not even caring about the tea and soup, and said in a low voice: "The analysis of the queen of heaven is that the deputy commander Yan Ruhai, and now he is in charge of the palace guards. ”

Gu Qing frowned for a while: "The Xishan camp is led by Huang Zhao, and Yan Ruhai, they are all under the orders of one person, who will it be?" ”

Gu Mingzhu said in a low voice: "Does my father know Yan Ruhai?" ”

Gu Qing nodded: "Yan Ruhai has served as the general of Xuzhou for many years, and it can be regarded as a great achievement, if it weren't for the ineffective participation in the suppression of bandits when he was a deputy general in Huzhou, and left a mark in the ministry, I am afraid that he would have been promoted to Chang'an to serve as a military officer a long time ago." ”

Gu Mingzhu seemed to have a clue, and hurriedly asked, "Serving as a vice general in Huzhou?" ”

Gu Qing nodded, took the talisman on the one hand, and instructed the deputy general to mobilize the defenders of each guard, and leave most of them at the West Gate to resist the rebels in the Xishan camp, and the small half of the elite soldiers rushed to the Taiji Palace with him to rescue them.

After all, there are thousands of soldiers and horses in the Xishan camp, all of them are elite soldiers, and they must not be sloppy, once Chang'an City falls, it is useless to save Miyagi.

He turned over and got on the horse, and then said to Gu Mingzhu, who was sitting in the carriage and returned to the palace with him: "When the Huzhou drought was everywhere, Yan Ruhai served as the deputy general of the Huzhou garrison, and led the troops to suppress the bandits but never succeeded, the first emperor was furious and wanted to demote him as a general, or Zhang Xianzhong, the assassin of Huzhou at that time, went to protect him, so that he could stay and continue to be the deputy general, and then he slowly had merits, and returned to Xuzhou as a guard. ”

As he spoke, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he whispered: "Zhang Xianzhong......"

Gu Mingzhu hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Gu Qing's face became gloomy: "Zhang Xianzhong was later transferred to Chen Liu's assassination ......"

Chen Liu......

Gu Mingzhu's heart suddenly tightened, could it be Chen Liuwang?

and Huang Zhao, who was originally from a family......

For a moment, Gu Qing and Gu Mingzhu glanced at each other, and they both saw consternation in each other's eyes.

In this way, this rebellion is not so simple, it is a rebellion to seize the throne!

Gu Qing said in a low voice: "I will lead the troops to lead the Praetorian Guards to one place in a while, and you will take some people to the Manna Temple, send the saint and the queen of heaven to a safe place, and then come out after the rebellion is settled." ”

Gu Mingzhu nodded solemnly, and knew that if the saint and the queen of heaven fell into the hands of King Chen Liu, the consequences would be unimaginable.

It's just that when they arrived at the Xuanwu Gate of Taiji Palace, they could see from a distance that the East Palace had already lit up a fire, and the crying and shouting came to the ground, and the palace was already in chaos.

Gu Qing and Gu Mingzhu were even more worried, if the Ganlu Hall was lost, then this rebellion would be justified, and they, along with the Gu family, would become sinners.

The defenders of Chang'an have not fought in actual combat for many years, but fortunately, Gu Qing organized them to practice very diligently on weekdays, and gradually forced the Praetorian Guards to one place and smashed open the Xuanwu Gate.

Gu Qing Gu couldn't say much to Gu Mingzhu, but gritted his teeth and ordered: "Go quickly, protect the saint and the queen of heaven, if you can come out, you will rush out, if you can't, choose a remote and safe palace in the palace to stay, and when the rebellion is quelled, I will let someone pick you up." ”

Gu Mingzhu nodded, glanced at Gu Qing, and then ordered the carriage to rush in quickly.

The palace was already in chaos, the palace that had been stormed by the Praetorian Guards was in ruins, the doors of the temple had fallen off, the palace people who had fled in all directions in fright, and the palace that had been set on fire, everything looked like a scene from a nightmare.

There were also palace maids who rushed towards the carriage in a panic, crying and shouting for Gu Mingzhu to save them.

Gu Mingzhu had no choice but to be stopped here, so he could only tell the coachman to rush to the Ganlu Hall as soon as possible.

Along the way, scattered Praetorian Guards rushed out of the palace, wanting to rush to the Xuanwu Gate to support, and met Gu Mingzhu's carriage.

It's just that fortunately, this carriage was ridden by the ordinary palace maids specially ordered by the Queen of Heaven, there was no emblem or ribbon, it looked very ordinary, and it was not stopped by the guards in the chaos, Gu Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Gu Qing gave her dozens of guards, she had already dispersed in the chaos, and she couldn't delay time here, so she had to rush to the Manna Hall as soon as possible.

The carriage finally rushed to the Ganlu Hall in the chaos, but found that there were nearly a hundred eunuchs and servants in front of the hall guarding with swords and sticks, although there was fear on their faces, and even many people could not even hold the heavy Tang knife steadily, but no one flinched, they all gritted their teeth and stood there, as if waiting to meet the enemy.

Gu Mingzhu was taken aback, but quickly thought of it, this must be the order of the Queen of Heaven, although the palace guards have rebelled, but there are still so many eunuchs and powerful servants in the palace, they can resist for a while when they are armed, this can be regarded as the last line of defense.

She walked quickly to the hall, and said to Xu Siyan, who hurriedly greeted her: "Quick, follow me to see Niangniang." ”

“…… Gu Qing has already brought soldiers and horses over? The queen of heaven's face suddenly softened, "Although the defenders are not good, they are also trained elite soldiers, the Miyagi Praetorian Guard is good at garrisoning, but not good at offensive operations, and it is only a matter of time before the siege of Miyagi is lifted." ”

Xu Siyan said worriedly: "It's just that if the Praetorian Guards find that the palace city can't hold it, will they turn around and come to the Manna Palace." ”

As long as the saint and the queen of heaven are obtained, even if the defenders of Chang'an capture the palace, they have to disarm and surrender, and all achievements will be lost.

Gu Mingzhu said in a low voice: "I brought the carriage back, there is already a big chaos in the palace, there are people from the Praetorian Guards all around, and I also ask the saint and the mother to follow me into the carriage, first find a safe place to settle down, and it is not too late to come back after the rebellion is quelled." ”

The queen of heaven frowned and thought about it, and nodded: "Let's go, I'm afraid it's dangerous to stay here." ”

It's just that she didn't leave with great fanfare, but instructed Xu Siyan to take a few sets of palace maids' dresses, take Princess Anping, Gu Mingzhu and Xu Siyan to change them, and asked the palace maid to change the saint into ordinary robes, and quietly went down the jade steps from the apse to the carriage.

They were so cautious that they didn't even alarm the servants in front of the temple, and no one even knew that the Queen of Heaven and the saint had left the Manna Temple, got into the carriage and left.

It's just that at this time, there was chaos in the palace city, and almost all the palaces and pavilions they passed through had been broken into and destroyed, and they couldn't find a safe place to stay, Gu Mingzhu and Xu Siyan were so anxious that they didn't know what to do.

The queen of heaven's face was quite calm, holding Princess Anping, who was already trembling with fright, with one hand, while covering the brocade quilt on the unconscious saint, and whispered: "Go to the Taiji Palace, there is a place where you can stay." ”

Gu Mingzhu and Xu Siyan were stunned, isn't the Taiji Hall the place where the Praetorian Guards are the most dense and dense, and there is still a safe place?

The Queen of Heaven smiled faintly: "You have forgotten, I was also the palace maid of the first emperor, so I naturally know that only there can protect us from being held by the rebels." ”
