Slowly, as the sound of horses' hooves got closer and closer, the city was on fire, and the people in the city were bold enough to bang on the doors and windows and look at the army galloping past the door, and they were frightened again.

In particular, I heard the earth-shattering sound coming from the direction of the palace, looked at the crying children at home, and prayed to the gods, and the night passed as soon as possible.

In the hearts of the people, it doesn't matter who is the empress, whether the important day is still the same as before, is whether the small life of one's own family can continue to live.

Will this coup change the peaceful life?

But the people in the mansions of high-ranking officials in the city have complicated expressions and different thoughts.

Because in the capital, all the mansions of high-ranking officials were surrounded by troops.

Xu Ran stood on the city wall, looked around, and saw that the entire capital was full of firelight, and knew in his heart that Qu Lingyu had controlled the officials of the capital according to his own arrangement.

Anyway, I'm not sure who is involved, so let's monitor it first, so as not to run away without success.

The majesty of the royal family cannot be trampled on, and since you want to participate in the rebellion, you must bear the responsibility after defeat.

Especially in the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is even more bright with clusters of firelight that illuminates the Prime Minister's Mansion.

It's the brightest star in the night sky.

However, all this can only be seen by standing on the city wall, and Prime Minister Shang and the generals he brought with him did not know that his mansion had been controlled.

Prime Minister Shang heard the sound of horses' hooves not far away, the momentum was huge, his face changed greatly, and he was extremely frightened, and King Pingxi also looked at Prime Minister Shang in horror.

"What's going on?" King Pingxi's voice was thick nasal.

Prime Minister Shang shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that she has been prepared for a long time, and someone will rescue her." ”

"Didn't you say that the matter was very secret, and others didn't know about it at all, and this rescuer could have moved in a day or two?" King Pingxi roared at Prime Minister Shang, saliva splashing.

Prime Minister Shang's chest rose and fell, supporting her body, and she was not in a very good situation after being hit by an arrow, and said:

"It will take at least more than a month for the armies of the other vassal kings to come here, so I think they have been prepared for a long time, otherwise how could they come so quickly."

Shang Zhixi asked Prime Minister Shang Cheng in a panic, "Mother, what should I do now." ”

Prime Minister Shang Cheng roared angrily: "Idiot, you know what to do when you have something, you don't have an idea, what is the use of the old lady giving birth to you." ”

Shang Zhixi pursed his lips and didn't speak, looking back from time to time, secretly praying in his heart that the strength of the army was weak.

So they still have a stand.

I can't figure out what went wrong, how the one on the city wall knew that things were done so secretly.

King Pingxi gritted his teeth and said: "Now the city wall can't be attacked for a long time, so I can only increase the intensity of the attack, attack the palace, and then I can also coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes." ”

Prime Minister Shang ordered to increase the intensity again, Xu Ran's side was even more unbearable, Xu Ran was almost injured several times, and looked at Female Officer Su's heart about to jump out of her chest, but she could resist hard.

The Praetorian Guards on the tower of the city were replaced in waves and substituted, and there were heavy casualties.

Female Officer Su stood beside Xu Ran with fear, ready to help Xu Ran block the arrows at any time, when she suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and her face was joyful, "Your Majesty, have the reinforcements arrived?" ”

Xu Ran glanced at Female Officer Su, and it was unbelievable that she was so slow to react.

Someone else took control of the capital with an army, and it was also on the city wall, couldn't she see it?

Female Officer Su said that she was very wronged.

Her heart was on Her Majesty, and Her Majesty the Empress was watching her at three hundred and sixty degrees.

What if His Majesty is injured in front of her, she is afraid that she will have to die to apologize.

Where is the time to look around?

Listening to the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, Prime Minister Shang looked panicked and fierce, and shouted at Xu Ran: "You already knew, didn't you?" ”

Xu Ran couldn't hear what Prime Minister Shang was calling at all, so he could only shake his head at Prime Minister Shang.

Shang Zhixi said to Prime Minister Shang: "Mother, the people above can't hear it at all." ”

Prime Minister Shang pursed his lips and didn't speak again, his heart was in a hurry, he never thought that his tens of thousands of people would not be able to attack a city wall for a long time.

How did Prime Minister Shang know that on the surface, this seemed to be the same defense method as before, but many deficiencies were changed by Xu Ran.

In less than a quarter of an hour, thousands of troops poured in under the city wall, and the leaders were the king of Zhenbei, the king of Huainan, and Qu Lingyu, the three of them.

Qu Lingyu shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others are here to rescue you." ”

Qu Lingyu, who was sitting on horseback, dismounted and saluted Xu Ran on the city wall.

Xu Ran's heart was relieved, and he said loudly: "Thank you for your hard work, let's quickly take down the rebels and thieves who intend to rebel." ”

Prime Minister Shang and King Pingxi looked back and saw that there were more troops than them, and they also knew that it would be difficult to get out today, but now there was no way out, and they were extremely flustered, not knowing what to do, and they were stunned in place for a while.

The soldiers of Prime Minister Shang and King Pingxi watched the thousands of troops and horses surround them like an iron wall, and they all lowered their heads and stood in place.

The king of Zhenbei was dressed in a military uniform and shouted at Prime Minister Shang: "Shang Qi, you are a wolf and ambitious, this king can no longer remember the old love and keep you today, don't resist stubbornly, just tie your hands and arrest it." ”

He looked at King Pingxi and sighed with hatred: "King Pingxi, you are confused." ”

The people under the city wall were no longer attacking, Xu Ran suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and shouted under the city wall: "Prime Minister Shang, I said that my world is not something you can take. ”

Shang Qi's figure on horseback shook slightly, his mouth was bitter, he didn't know who to blame, but he was extremely unwilling in his heart, staring at Xu Ran with a distorted face and said:

"I have been the emperor's companion since I was the empress dowager, and I grew up with her."

"When the emperor drank and had fun and didn't care about political affairs, I followed her before and after the saddle, and I worked hard to help her deal with complicated things."

"When the treasury was empty, and there was a great flood in the local area, I took out most of my family property and donated money to build the river embankment."

"How many things have I done for your Yan family, but the first emperor knew how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, she is gone now, and let you ascend the throne, I see you, a yellow-haired girl, I still have to grovel, I am unwilling."

Xu Ran sneered and said, "If you don't let me ascend the throne, do you want you to ascend the throne?" Isn't it the duty of a courtier to salute me, why do you feel unwilling? ”

Although the emperor did something wrong, but Prime Minister Shang dared to touch his conscience and say that she didn't like to see and hear all this.

said that the same feelings as girlfriends, but what they did was not what girlfriends should do.

What Prime Minister Shang said was really a slap in the face, the male concubines she gave to the emperor are still in the harem.

Leave that aside, after all, flies don't bite eggs.

The emperor liked to have fun, and gave the Shang prime minister a chance to expand his power.

So since Prime Minister Shang is already a great minister, he must bear a lot of responsibility, but now he says that he has worked hard and made great achievements.

Xu Ran firmly believed that the imperial court did not turn like Shang Cheng.
