Chapter 431: The Verge
The thing is like this tricking people, among the four generals, one of them is Yuan Ling's old subordinate, but not many people know about it, he has been in the army for more than ten years, and he usually has little contact with Yuan Ling, no one can think of it.
Wu Zhan and Yuan Ling entered the palace overnight, after all, this matter can not be delayed, Hu Man gave Yue'er a bath, and always felt a little uneasy, what a big deal this is, if it is really a rebellion, how many people will be involved, and how many people will have to die to calm down?
"Madam, you can rest with Miss first!" Huan'er said with concern.
"I can't sleep." Hu Man was worried and always felt uneasy.
"Did the vines sleep?" Wu Linchuan said outside the door.
Hu Man hurriedly opened the door: "Uncle Wu, what's wrong?" ”
Wu Linchuan asked Huan'er to go out, and then asked softly, "What's wrong?" Why did Wu Zhan enter the palace late at night? ”
Wu Linchuan didn't need to hide it, Hu Man said: "I heard that the second prince is going to rebel, and those generals in the army have followed the second prince!" ”
"And you're still here?" Wu Linchuan didn't have any big waves on his face, he was a person who had gone through the founding war.
"Huh? So where do I go? ”
"Confused!" Wu Linchuan hugged Yue'er: "Hurry up, don't take anything, leave now!" ”
Wu Linchuan said that he had already dressed Xiao Yue'er, and Hu Man didn't have time to ask in detail, so he only took two silver taels and a few clothes.
Wu Yuan was called up in a daze, and he didn't know what was going on, so Wu Linchuan said: "Go, inform the Zhao Mansion and Prince Rong's Mansion, don't stay in the mansion, and don't enter the palace!" Find a place to hide first and see how it goes!
The matter is too urgent, and I can only notify these close people first, not to mention that except for those who are close to the martial family, there must be no need for the second prince to start.
He prepared a carriage and called all the girls to wake up, saying that they were going to have a holiday, and let them go home first, and go to the outskirts of the city with only Huan'er.
"Go this way." Wu Linchuan pointed to a small road: "It's close here." ”
"Uncle Wu, what the hell is going on?" Hu Man was also nervous.
"You guys! Still too tender! Think about it, in what name is he going to rebel? What is the purpose of spreading the identity of martial warfare? Although this is a rebellion, after all, in order to explain to the people, you must have a good name! The emperor is not remorse, and Wu Zhan is reused as such an identity, this is the best excuse! ”
"So ......"
"If they want to act, the first step is to control the martial arts first! As soon as Wu Zhan entered the palace, they just used this as an excuse to say that they wanted to catch Wu Zhan and enter the palace, and you, if you and the child were arrested, they would be able to make Wu Zhan restrain their hands and feet, they knew too well that Wu Zhan valued you! ”
The carriage went directly to the foot of Qingguo Temple, Wu Linchuan was much better, but he still couldn't be too tired, Hu Man and Huan'er took turns holding the child to climb the steps, and when they reached the halfway point of the mountain, Huan'er suddenly exclaimed: "Madame, look? ”
Hu Man turned his head and looked down, it was high, although he couldn't see it carefully clearly, but the large piece of firelight that seemed to dye the sky red was still very clear: "This is ......"
Wu Linchuan sighed: "I'm afraid I can't wait for them to leave the palace, it's already started." ”
"This is the rebels?!" Twenty thousand! There was such a large area where the torch was imprinted, Hu Man felt that he was suddenly covered in a cold sweat, if it wasn't for Wu Linchuan's quick reaction, he and his children would really be unable to escape this catastrophe!
"Uncle Wu! What should they do if they fight in arms? How can the Imperial Palace Guards withstand so many people? Hu Man's face was full of worry.
"Just now I found someone to inform Songshan and asked him to go to the government to transfer officers and soldiers and support the palace as much as possible! In addition to the palace gate, there is no place that can be attacked, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it should, it can support three or four days! ”
"What then? Don't let the prince come to the rescue, even if the letter can't be delivered! ”
"Let's go up the mountain first, and then let's think about it in the long run!"
Several people went up the mountain and knocked on the door, because Wu Linchuan often came and was friends with the host, so they all recognized: "Master Wu, you are here?" ”
"Well, I'm in a hurry to find the abbot."
A few people went to knock on the door, but found that the person was not in the house, Hu Man and Wu Linchuan thought of a place at the same time, and went to the backyard to find someone, and sure enough, the abbot stood on the side of the mountain and looked below.
"Abbot." Hu Man spoke.
"You're here?" The abbot turned around and sighed: "This Changling ......"
"You guessed that, too?"
"I can't do anything if I guess!" The abbot said, "Let's go!" Go back to the house. ”
Hu Man asked Huan'er to take Yue'er back to the room to rest first, she and Wu Linchuan were in the abbot's house, Hu Man was a little uncontrollable: "Abbot, Uncle Wu, can we do something?" ”
"Songshan should have already led the troops to the palace, so as not to be caught off guard, but otherwise, he can only do his best to obey the destiny of heaven." Wu Linchuan rubbed his temples: "Royal matter!" ”
"Okay, it's not early, go back and rest first." The abbot said leisurely: "What should come will always come." ”
Hu Man went back to the house, looking at Yue'er's sleeping face, but she couldn't calm down, she couldn't imagine that if the second prince was really successful, Changling and Dashuo would become what kind of situation would become! At the very least, these people she knows and friends with will definitely not end well!
suddenly remembered Yuan'an, why did the second prince dare to rebel? Even if Yuan An can't come back in a short time, even if he can capture the palace, isn't he afraid that Yuan An will bring a large army to crusade against him? Unless...... He doesn't have this worry at all!
Wei Ziqi... Weiling... Could it be that they have already made a move on the side? Wei Ling has already taken control of the army?! The more I think about it, the more my heart trembles, how are Yuan An and Su Jia doing now? At this time, she really couldn't help complaining that the ancient communication was too backward, her eyes were black, and she didn't know anything!
"I want to enter the palace to see the emperor!" Su Lijiu held up the token and said, Songshan was followed by the officers and soldiers stationed in Changling, his identity was indeed not enough to mobilize, but Su Lijiu was still okay!
"It's... What do you want to do? "The people in the palace didn't dare to open the door, no wonder, with a huge number of officers and soldiers to see the emperor, at this moment he is more like a rebel!
"This official is here to escort!" Su Lijiu said sharply: "Don't worry, this king will not bring the officers and soldiers in, and only one person will enter the palace!" The second prince and Wei Ziqi want breakfast, and the army outside the city has already attacked, and it will be too late! What happened, did you take responsibility? ”
"What?!" The guard didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he hurriedly went to the commander of the Royal Forest Army for instructions, and the leader of the Royal Forest Army and Su Lijiu had been friends for many years, so naturally he didn't believe that Su Lijiu would rebel or anything like that, so he immediately opened the city gate: "Brother Su, what you said is true?" ”
Su Lijiu pulled him into the palace, and said as he walked: "Do you think I don't want Su Lijiu's head?" Privately transferring officers and soldiers is still unbelievable? ”
Also, it's no joke! And many people know about the second prince, and everyone understands that the second prince is going to fall and be forced to rebel, and they can figure it out.
The emperor was seeing Yuan Ling and Wu Zhan in the imperial study, and when he heard that Su Lijiu was coming, the emperor rubbed his eyebrows: "What's the matter?" Let him in! ”
Su Lijiu hurriedly walked in and saluted: "The emperor is not good!" The second prince has already led people to attack Changling City, and I am afraid that he will arrive at the palace soon! ”
"What?!" The emperor stood up in shock: "Didn't you say, didn't you say that there was no action?" ”
Wu Zhan frowned: "It may also be that he sent someone to spy on us, knowing that he entered the palace, and he was afraid that things would change and he would do it in advance!" ”
"Quick! Quickly mobilize all the officers and soldiers of the Royal Forest Army and resist with all their might! "The emperor's face turned blue, his two sons are all wolf-hearted!
"Yes!" The three of them received the order and hurriedly went out to mobilize the command.
Wu Zhan hurriedly said: "You stay first, I want to go home!" ”
"Don't go back!" Su Lijiu grabbed him: "How do you think I know?" It was Uncle Wu who asked Songshan to come to me, saying that he had left the house with Hu Man to avoid the limelight. ”
Wu Zhan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good!" "Luckily, my dad is here.
20,000 troops entered the city in a mighty way, they were originally garrisons, it was the defense of Changling, the officers and soldiers at the city gate were naturally not enough to see, and soon broke through the city gate and entered, such a big movement, alarmed many people, but they were confused and didn't know anything, they just hid and didn't dare to come out.
Wu Zhan and Su Lijiu stood on the gatehouse, watching the spectacular firelight gradually approach, Su Lijiu suddenly said, "That's right! The second prince rebelled, so he didn't care about Concubine Lian? ”
"I'm afraid I've been prepared for a long time." Wu Zhan waved his hand and beckoned a person: "Go, tell the emperor, if Concubine Lian doesn't leave the palace, control Concubine Lian!" ”
Su Lijiu, who has always been optimistic, was worried: "The officers and soldiers plus the Royal Forest Army are only 6,000 people in total, how can they resist?" ”
Oh, yes! Even if there is a geographical advantage, the gap in numbers is too large, and it is surrounded, and there is also the problem of supply, I am afraid that it will not last for a few days.
"No way, try your best!" At this point, I am afraid that no plan will work.
"By the way, didn't you say that one of the generals was the third prince? Can you use him ......?"
"Nope." Wu Zhan said: "The third prince said that the person under him is only in charge of logistics, and there are no troops in his hands, as long as he makes any moves, I'm afraid he won't even be able to save his own life!" The other three have been controlled by drugs, and they have also decided to follow the second prince. ”
"This thing is amazing!" Su Lijiu smacked his tongue: "You can actually control people!" When Wei Mingyao was sick, it was really terrible. ”
"Well, because Xiao Shizi was calculated before, so the subordinates of the third prince knew about this thing, when Wei Ziqi gave it to them, although he couldn't smoke it, but after returning home, he kept refraining and didn't touch it again, so he didn't get addicted."
"Whew!"
Suddenly, there was a roar below, Wu Zhan looked down, he let the big money he brought, Hu Man has been taking care of it, and he has recovered his previous prestige, because of the rumors that Hu Man was in a hurry out of the palace, so he didn't bring it first.
Wu Zhan whistled, and the big money rushed up lightly, ran to Wu Zhan's side and rubbed it affectionately, Su Lijiu had been in contact with it when it was not too big, and he was not afraid: "It's coming!" ”
Wu Zhan looked up, and sure enough, the fire was already very close, and he shouted: "Cheer up and prepare to meet the enemy!" ”
Although it was a warning, Wu Zhan didn't plan to strike first, and when the army arrived at the foot of the palace, Wu Zhan took a closer look, and the second prince was really not in front, and it was estimated that he wouldn't dare.
Wei Ziqi led the team, raised his head and said loudly: "Open the city gate!" Wu Zhan, a rebel minister and thief, relying on his own blood as the emperor, hijacked the emperor, and tried to force the palace to seize the throne, we are here to save him! ”
Wu Zhan snorted coldly: "Wei Ziqi, the emperor is staying in the palace in a good manner, and he has not been hijacked by anyone!" Everyone knows who is the wolf and who wants to rebel! Soldiers, I am your commander-in-chief, and now I order you to lay down your arms, and I promise that you will not be held accountable! ”
