837, forcing the palace
The crown prince and Rong Zhan stood on both sides of the emperor on the left and right, neither of them spoke, just quietly staring ahead.
Rong Zhan looked at the prince's hand holding the sword a little white, and said, "I've never seen such a big battle, so I'm scared in my heart." ”
The prince sneered, at this time, this guy didn't forget to arrange himself: "Hmph." What a joke, how could I be afraid. ”
Having said that, he was actually still worried in his heart, after all, he had always been smooth since he was a child, and he had never seen such a battle. And in addition to this, it is more because it is General Min Huai, who has always been trusted, who is leading the rebellion.
Where does this not make people feel uncomfortable?
Rong Zhan didn't speak, just stared at the prince's hand with a smile, and then looked away quietly.
The prince didn't understand, and he said angrily: "I'm just in a complicated mood, it's not like you said at all." ”
Before Rong Zhan could answer, the emperor looked at it leisurely: "Those who should come always have to come." ”
In the end, their men could not resist the fierce resistance from the outside of the Lord, and the city gate was finally slammed open.
A tidal wave of people rushed in, and the black pressed towards the city. They all held Cheng Liang's weapons in their hands, and they walked in a uniform manner, and the momentum was very huge, and even the swallows who were resting by the eaves were overwhelmed by the disturbance, and they panicked for a while, and they were busy flapping their wings and flying around, and they had no time to take care of the direction.
There were quite a few archers in ambush in the imperial city, and they all set their bows and arrows on the walls and shot at the intruders.
However, the infantry who came in at the head were all prepared, all wearing armor, the front row stood in front of them, and the middle position held the shield high above their heads, blocking it solidly, although the movement was very slow, but the defense was extremely strong.
Seeing this, Rong Zhan waved his hand.
The previous people immediately quietly retreated and were replaced by another group of crossbowmen. These crossbow archers have undergone special training, and then they have been selected through layers of selection. Whether it is from the eyesight or the level of archery, he is a top expert, even if there is only the slightest gap.
The rain of arrows was overwhelming, and there were many people shooting at one time. But this group of infantry was obviously well-trained, and if someone fell, someone immediately filled the vacant slot, but it still could not stop them from advancing.
The gates were now completely open, and the cavalry had already entered. As soon as he appeared, almost all the arrows were shot towards him, perhaps his temperament was too unusual, and everyone seemed to see at a glance that he was the leader, and immediately implemented the principle of capturing the thief and capturing the king first.
It turned out that Min Huai had already secretly returned to Beijing and personally led troops to attack the imperial city.
Rong Zhan waved his hand and motioned for them to stop, because the position where Min Huai stopped at the moment was obviously beyond the range of the bow and arrow, so Rong Zhan didn't want to waste any more bows and arrows.
Min Huai was slightly surprised when he saw the crown prince and Rong Zhan standing beside the emperor, and pointed at Rong Zhan and said, "Shouldn't you be in Xiliang?" ”
Rong Zhan smiled: "We have been waiting for the general here for a long time. ”
Min Huai's heart was a little loose, and the uneasiness when he first saw Rong Zhan still lingered in his heart, this trip to the imperial city was indeed too smooth. However, looking at these soldiers under his command who regarded death as home, he couldn't show the slightest hesitation, and said firmly: "Even if you are prepared, can you defeat my well-trained soldiers?" ”
As he spoke, he had already watched his own people control the archers on the city wall. He looked at the emperor deeply and said, "This is your karma. ”
The emperor lowered his eyes slightly, and then said softly: "Cousin, why bother? ”
As soon as the words fell, the situation changed dramatically, and the crossbowmen on the city wall who had just been controlled controlled backhanded controlled the people arranged by Min Huai.
Min Huai looked at this sudden change, and still said with a full sense of anger: "Even so, can you control the rest of my troops?" ”
The prince smiled leisurely: "General, you should have noticed that something was wrong when you saw me and Rong Zhan standing here." Isn't it a joke that the emperor will only arrange for the two of us to guard him? ”
A large number of archers rushed out from the back of the main hall, and at the entrance of the hall like a row of arhats, they set up bows and arrows in unison.
Seeing this, Min Huai's face changed, and he didn't expect this sudden change.
At this moment, the voice of the army sounded outside the city gate, loud and majestic. Min Huai couldn't help but look back, thousands of troops and horses were walking towards this side, and the number of people was afraid that there would only be more and not less.
And the person who is the leader is Qi Zhizhou.
No wonder he hasn't seen anyone else, he has been waiting here for a long time.
Min Huai looked at the scene and immediately knew that the general trend had gone, he turned around, stared at Rong Zhan and said: "Before I attacked the imperial city, I had already arranged for a guard to attack the Sucheng Hou Mansion, since you chose this side, I am afraid that there will be no power to return to the sky." Rong Zhan, this person is so vicious, why should you. I used to think we were on the same side, but alas...... But you are the son of this man. ”
Rong Zhan looked at Min Huai and said coldly: "You just want to get rid of me, why do you need to let the entire Sucheng Marquis Mansion be buried with you?" ”
Min Huai lowered his head and pondered for a while, before he said slowly: "Then why did you snatch Su Jiaoyue back then?" Zhirui and Su Jiaoyue's childhood sweethearts, they could have been Qin Se and Ming, if you didn't get in the way, how could there be right and wrong later? If you hadn't snatched Su Jiaoyue, where would my son marry that poisonous woman of the Jiang family, so that he would have harmed my mother. Your father and son have left too many regrets for our family. There are so many ways that I can't wait to see you die early. ”
Rong Zhan looked at the man in front of him and said with a cold smile: "People should not be delusional. Your regret back then will now be your son's regret. ”
Min Huai didn't answer, he didn't want to know anymore what was going on over there. Now that he has become a turtle in an urn, even if there is a victory over there, it is impossible for him to help his son get what he wants.
He turned his head to look at the man sitting on the dragon chair, stared at him fiercely with his venous eyes, and said, "You can sit in your place well." I'm not like you, and I don't have much interest in the throne you care about. ”
The emperor smiled sarcastically: "General Min, at this time, there is no need to say such things." ”
Min Huai stared at the emperor deadly, as if he wanted to stare him through a hole: "I just hate you." It's all because of you that my family has become what it is now, but you have a completely indifferent face, so how can I continue to tolerate you. ”
The emperor didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with what he was doing: "I'm just for the sake of the country, and there's no way to do it." ”
Min Huai stretched out his hand and pointed at him fixedly: "You are a shameless villain, casually killing other people's lives with such a face. What you said is really good, for the sake of the country, you are just for your own selfish desires. In order to be able to sit on the throne, you hurt my father, the first prince, and even your brother. ”
When the emperor heard this accusation, he was a little moved, but soon, he said slowly: "No matter what the outcome, there will always be someone who needs to pay some price. ”
Min Huai said: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have missed her." ”
The emperor sighed leisurely: "Cousin, there are some things, the general trend is the trend, and it is useless to talk about it." And I don't think you're the kind of person who loves children. ”
Min Huai laughed when he heard this: "What you said is really good, is your compensation to plant spies around me?" If it weren't for my true feelings that moved her, I would never have known that the person next to my pillow was actually planted by you. ”
The emperor said helplessly: "Sitting in my position, there are many things that have to be guarded against. What's more, you have a heavy army, so I naturally have to be extra careful. ”
Min Huai roared angrily: "Don't make excuses for your hypocrisy and greed. ”
He whispered: "You know that I like Ying Xin so much, and I have longed to marry her since I was a child, but what have you done?" You assigned her to Su Saburo, you ...... Not. ”
Before Min Huai could speak, he felt a cold thing pierce his chest, he looked down at the dagger inserted in his chest, his face was incredulous, he slowly turned around, and saw Wulanzhu with tears on his face.
Wu Lanzhu held the dagger in his hand, tears couldn't stop flowing down his cheeks, and his mouth muttered: "I'm sorry, I can't help it." ”
Min Huai seemed to have lost his language function, so he looked at his wife blankly for a long time before he said, "Why?" ”
Wu Lanzhu's eyes suddenly became sharp: "I hate you." I hate you so much. ”
Min Huai thinks that he has been very good to her for so many years.
Wu Lanzhu looked at his confused face, and the hatred in his heart was even stronger, the most hateful thing was this kind of bruises all over your body that you had obviously hurt others, but you still seemed to be a victim.
Wu Lanzhu said coldly: "Have you ever liked me?" Have you ever loved me? All your life is annoyed, you are regretting, and you can't beg for it, how can you ever look at me beside you? Until now, you still miss Qi Yingxin. I've persuaded myself countless times to live with you and spend my life with you, but you've never really taken me to heart, and I'm just a mother to you. ”
Min Huai opened his mouth, but he still didn't say anything after all. Ulanzhu's words were every word, sharp and piercing his heart, thinking about what he had done over the years, he didn't know how to justify, because Ulanzhu was not wrong.
Wu Lanzhu cried even more violently, shaking his head vigorously: "I can't help it." I still have Zhirui, and for his sake, I have to do it. Zhirui is still in their hands, as long as you die, everything will be over, Zhirui can continue his life, he is still so young, he can't bury his future because of your impulsiveness. I'm going to stop you, I can stop you. ”
As he spoke, he inserted the dagger in his hand for a few more minutes, and Min Huai's eyes widened and he looked at his wife in front of him.
He had expected himself to fail, but he had never imagined that he would die at the hands of his wife.
Ulanju ......
"Childe, Childe, what's wrong with you?" The interracial girl with the bamboo basket on his back kept shaking his body......
That youthful and bright face constantly coincided with her now, and Min Huai spit out a mouthful of blood, "Zhu, Zhu'er ......"
He collapsed in despair, finally losing his breath.
Wu Lanzhu raised his hand, gently closed Min Huai's eyes, and with a strong hand, he pulled out the dagger inserted in Min Huai's chest.
Wu Lanzhu took Min Huai's hand and said gently: "Even if I resent you and hated you, I was still reluctant to let you go alone after all." You owe me so much in your life, and I haven't paid you a debt yet. You wait for me, and I'll come. ”
As soon as the words fell, the dagger in his hand pierced into his heart without hesitation. Wu Lanzhu looked at the man in front of him with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and slowly closed her eyes.
