A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops come to meet.

When that dazzling fireworks bloom in the silent night sky of Kyoto, although it is only for a moment, it shocks many people's hearts.

The internal purge of the forbidden army was the first work, and it did not take long for the great prince to successfully master all the strength, and the forbidden army, which remained in Kyoto with about 3,000 people, became the strongest military force to defend the imperial city.

At the same time, the subordinates of the Supervision Yuan lurking in the dark night also saw this firework, and they showed themselves from the dark night and began to march towards their own goals.

The chief of the criminal department has always been gloomy, especially on a night like this. In the silence, a rush of footsteps suddenly sounded outside the Criminal Department, and the officials in charge of the night vigil watched the movement outside the Ya in surprise, and then were stunned to find that a large number of people wearing black official uniforms were pressing towards the side of the Criminal Department.

The officers turned pale and immediately sounded the gong to warn, intending to wake up the old men in the Criminal Department and the prison guards behind the Criminal Department. And they themselves immediately retreated to the yatang of the Criminal Department, because they knew that these black official uniforms were the official reports of the Supervision Yuan, and they were definitely not opponents of the other party.

The warning sounded, and all the subordinates of the Criminal Department rushed to the rear, and everyone knew that the prison of the Criminal Department was the top priority, because the prince did not dare to put those Wenchen who opposed his ascension to the throne into the prison of the Supervision Yuan, and they were all locked up here.

There weren't too many frightened fights, but after a few screams and a burst of commotion, a team of about 300 people from the Supervision Yuan entered the depths of the criminal department's yatang and rushed to the large square.

The officers of the Criminal Department and the guards of the prison were surrounded by the officials of the Supervision Yuan, and the chief officer of the Criminal Department, who was disheveled, couldn't help but feel cold when he saw this scene.

The two sides are about the same number of people, and it seems that they have a fight. However, Lord Shangshu, who was like the commander of the forbidden army, did not dare to go home, and only dared to guard the prison in the criminal department, but he could not have any thoughts of resisting at all.

Because those black-clothed people were holding crossbow arrows in their hands, because the other party was the official of the Supervision Yuan that Qingguo officials feared the most. Because this Shangshu Lord knows it. Since the Supervisory Yuan dared to act so rampantly, that little Fan must have begun to stir up a bloody storm in Kyoto.

The remnants of the Supervision Yuan are still there, and Fan Xian's dark name is even more shocking to everyone's hearts, without the help of the eldest princess's forces, not many people dare to confront this team head-on.

Not to mention that he had heard about it too. A fireworks arrow rang out in the palace. Then he woke up in panic, and he clearly heard the sound of the earthquake and killing in the imperial city.

He didn't know that it was the actions of the forbidden army, but he knew that something was going on in the Imperial City.

There were some dead bodies lying scattered in the field, and the officials at the head of the Supervision Yuan looked at the besieged Criminal Department Shangshu with indifferent eyes, and said word by word: "This official is in accordance with the will of the Queen Mother and the military order of the Prince, and I am here to pick up the old ministers from prison, and I ask Lord Shangshu to hand them over." ”

Handover? This is a prison robbery, but the Shangshu of the Criminal Department trembled and did not dare to speak and scold.

Because last night, one of his attendants, who was leaning on his right and left hands, died unknowingly in this yatang. No one knows how the squire died. Shangshu didn't want to be the second wronged ghost.

If you surrender, is there still a way to live? The torch shined so brightly that the face of the criminal department Shangshu was a little weird.

It seemed to guess his thoughts. The leading official of the Supervision Yuan stared into his eyes and said: "The Queen Mother said, but those who follow the rebellion, if they sincerely repent, will not be blamed for the past." ”

The criminal department Shangshu smiled bitterly, and even the will of the queen mother moved out, it seems that the prince has taken control of the palace, and there has been no news from the eldest princess, but I am afraid that there will be a problem.

But in an instant, he suddenly thought that if the battle in the palace had not been resolved, Fan Xian did not have the upper hand, and if he had surrendered so easily, he would ...... afterwards How to explain to the crown prince and the eldest princess?

Shangshu of the Criminal Department gritted his teeth, and his vision kept changing.

The Supervision Yuan official looked at him indifferently, no longer communicated with him more, and slowly raised his right hand, and the hundreds of Supervision Yuan officials around him raised their crossbows, some pulled out their iron hammers, and began to prepare to launch an attack on the thick door of the prison of the Criminal Department, and counted expressionlessly:

"Wait!" Shangshu of the Criminal Department was finally crushed by this monotonous counting, and shouted hissedly: "Slow!

A mocking smile appeared on the lips of the officials of the Supervision Yuan, when this crisis was in this situation, the Criminal Department was frightened, and the person had not become demented, knowing that the will of the Queen Mother was just a broken paper, and what could really save his life was the will of Lord Tisi.

He took out a document from his bosom that he had prepared and threw it over.

The criminal department Shangshu picked it up from the ground, and looked at the document by the glow of the torch, and confirmed that it was the edict written by Lord Xiao Fan himself.

I don't know when this edict was written or prepared, but it clearly says that the eldest princess and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince conspired to collude with the assassins of Dongyi City and Northern Qi to assassinate His Majesty on Dadong Mountain!

The crime is not the key, the criminal department is concerned about the last words. Seeing the end, his complexion finally softened a little, in this document called Xuanzhao to discuss the rebellion, a total of about 400 words, and in the last 100 words, it is clearly written that the ministers of the court and the central government have been deceived by Li Chengqian, but if they repent and make meritorious contributions to Xinzuo, they will not be blamed.

The hand of the criminal department Shangshu holding the edict is trembling, this edict does not have the seal of the queen mother on it, but it has the seal of His Majesty!

The most important thing is that there is Fan Xian's handwriting in the most aspect!

Shangshu of the Criminal Department knew that at such a moment, no seal could match Fan Xian's painting power, and he believed that Fan Xian was not a person who broke his word and gained weight.

His face became more and more pale, and he glanced at the guards of the criminal department who had strong courage but were as pale as dirt, hung his head, and knelt in front of the official of the Supervision Yuan. Said in a sad voice: "Minister...... Plead guilty. "Leashes, all the armed forces of the Criminal Department, in a very short period of time. Be controlled. It's just that this group of teams has saved some face for Lord Shangshu. It's just that he didn't wear a good official uniform and black yarn in the first place.

All kinds of knives, guns and sticks were piled up in the corner, and all the officials of the criminal department were bound by the special steel finger sleeves of the Supervision Yuan, and between these finger sleeves were put together by strong hemp ropes, like grasshoppers strung together in the famine of old age.

All these movements are extremely familiar and fast, because the yamen of the Supervision Yuan has been born since the first day. It is these means to deal with the various ministries and yamen in the huge state apparatus of Qingguo.

Therefore, it cannot be said that the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is cowardly and timid, and it cannot be said that the Ministry of Qingguo is too useless, but it has been many years, and the horror of the Supervision Yuan has been deeply rooted in the hearts of all Qingguo officials. Like natural enemies, the officials faced this group of men in black and had little courage to resist.

The Supervisory Yuan, a terrifying royal secret service, returned to heaven in Emperor Qing. After Chen Pingping was poisoned, she became the sharpest blade in Fan Xian's hands.

While dealing with the residual affairs of the Criminal Department. The two heavy prison doors of the Criminal Department had already been opened, and the officials of the Supervision Yuan had entered. Divide many manpower. Forty or fifty embarrassed-looking officials were rescued.

These officials have not had time to peel off their official uniforms, but they have been beaten and bruised. It can be seen from this how hasty and chaotic the prince was in arresting these officials in the Taiji Hall that day. After being tortured, many officials were no longer able to walk, and with the support of these officials of the Supervision Yuan, they moved out of the gate of the prison of the Criminal Department with their breath in their dying breath.

The officials of the Supervision Yuan in the leading place stared at each other, stepped forward quickly, knelt down on one knee in front of these officials, made a heavy salute, and said in a deep voice: "Murong Yan, the chief secretary of the Second Division of the Supervision Yuan, came to greet you at the behest of the Queen Mother, and you have worked hard. ”

The civil officials who were helped out of the door looked at the official of the Supervision Yuan in a black official uniform, and couldn't help but have mixed feelings and couldn't say anything.

Murong Yan didn't get up, but instead bowed solemnly to the two leading officials, and said in a low voice: "Lord Tisi ordered the lower officials to thank the two scholars on their behalf. ”

Yes, these two officials are the two first-class ministers who bravely attacked the Taiji Hall and forcibly prevented the crown prince from ascending the throne, the leaders of the Zhongshu under the sect, the scholar Hu, and the old gentleman Shuwu. Shu Wu still had a wound on his face, looked at the official and sighed, there was not much joy of escaping, but there was only a deep concern about the situation in Kyoto, he knew the temperament of Fan Xian, since he risked robbing the prison tonight, there must be chaos in the palace, Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, I don't know how many of Your Majesty's relatives will die in this turmoil.

Scholar Hu smiled and said, "Duke Yu Bo was wrong, I didn't help him, how can I thank him?" Murong Yan was stunned when he heard this.

There was no time to tell the details of the situation in the palace, and ten carriages had already arrived outside the Criminal Department, and the injured ministers were picked up in the carriages, and then went to the palace. The situation in Kyoto is still very dangerous, and these ministers who have just escaped from prison cannot return to their homes for the time being.

Looking at the carriages under the protection of the Supervision Yuan, walking along the long street in the direction of the palace, Murong Yan, who was standing at the entrance of the criminal department, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although there were still many things to deal with in the yamen of the criminal department behind him, his heart had settled down.

He is the chief bookkeeper of the Second Division, and he was originally responsible for the work of intelligence induction, but in this incident in the Supervision Yuan, he was given the task of attacking the Criminal Department by Lord Xiaoyan, and his calmness may be his fancy.

It is not difficult to storm the criminal department, but the difficult thing is to rescue the adults in the prison intact. Murong Yan knew this very well, otherwise Lord Tisi would not have given him hundreds of people when there were so few people in Kyoto.

The specific task was issued by Yan Bingyun, but the requirements were drawn up by Fan Xian himself. For the prison of the Criminal Department, Fan Xian issued a death order, in order to ensure the safety of Hu Shu and the two scholars, as well as those civil servants.

Because he knew that if it weren't for these unafraid of death ministers who made trouble in the Taiji Palace, they forcibly delayed the day when the prince ascended the throne, making the government chaotic, Kyoto difficult to stabilize, and it would be difficult for him to find an opportunity to successfully break into the palace.

These are in addition to opening up dead admonitions. Wenchen, who doesn't seem to have much strength, is the hero of Fan Xian's action. As soon as Fan Xian borrowed bones from these ministers, he wanted to ensure that their bones were intact, which was gratitude and a touch of guilt. Go out. When the prison of the Ministry of Punishment was opened. Kyoto Prefecture, which looks more difficult to attack, is now open and bright, and it looks very weird.

Kyoto Prefecture is in charge of public security in Kyoto, and has a large number of local officials under its command. And when the fireworks in the imperial city rang out. With a solemn face, Yin Sun Jingxiu, the second-rank minister of Kyoto Prefecture, walked to the main hall with a heavy face.

The subordinates who didn't understand what happened looked at Lord Fu Yin dumbfounded, thinking to themselves that it was such a night, why was Lord Sun still wearing a full set of official uniforms?

After a few breaths, the footsteps thundered. Sun Jingxiu glanced at his subordinates with a complicated face, sighed with great regret, and ordered his subordinates to open the gate of Kyoto Prefecture.

As soon as the door opened, the officials of the Supervision Yuan rushed in. Under the watchful eyes of the face-to-face Kyoto officials, he occupied a favorable position in the main hall. surrounded Sun Jingxiu in the center.

As soon as the officials of the Supervision Yuan in black official uniforms separated, one person walked out of it. It was Mu Tie, the leader of the Supervision Yuan. The iron-faced official looked at Sun Jingxiu indifferently and asked, "Your Excellency ordered your subordinates to come and ask Your Excellency." Have you thought about it?"

Sun Jingxiu sighed again, and after struggling for a long time, his legs seemed to be suddenly weak, and he knelt on the ground with a snap, and said in a low voice: "The minister is guilty, and he doesn't dare to beg the grandfather for forgiveness." As soon as this scene came out, everyone was in an uproar, and everyone was extremely shocked, they didn't understand why this Lord Yin, who had always inherited the will of the Empress Dowager and was desperately arresting Fan Xian in Kyoto, would not resist when the officials of the Supervision Yuan came to the door, and they would drop like this!

Mu Tie's face was still as pale as iron, as if he was unmoved, but his heart was shocked as much as ever, he was ordered to come to stabilize Kyoto Mansion today, thinking that he was going to face the most tragic battle in his life, but unexpectedly, Bingyun just gave a faint order, and let him come like this.

As soon as he entered Kyoto Mansion, he saw that the mansion was full of light, Mu Tie thought that he was in the middle of the ambush, but unexpectedly, the situation was as Xiao Yan said, and it was surprising smoothly!

Sun Jingxiu knelt on the ground, his face was extremely gloomy, his left hand held the black yarn in his arm, thinking in his heart that he was really forced to do so, not to mention whether the Kyoto Prefecture could resist the Supervision Yuan, mainly because of the conversation with the white-clothed man in the back garden before, which really made him have no way to retreat and could only surrender!

It wasn't until tonight that he learned that Fan Xian had been hiding in his house for a few days, and the place where the Kyoto Revolution was launched was actually in his back garden, in his daughter's room!

This time, the assassins of the Sudden Palace, there were actually 400 people who used Kyoto Prefecture documents and secretly infiltrated Kyoto!

As long as this matter is poked out, no matter how he behaves tonight, he will definitely not be allowed to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or the eldest princess, and he will definitely think that he is a spy on Fan Xian's side.

So he had no choice but to make a difficult decision, and he fell to Fan Xian in an all-round way - anyway, he would be considered to be a little Fan Lord, then he would simply become Xiao Fan Lord, at least he could live.

The future of the future is safe...... You're supposed to be able to speak for yourself, right?

When Sun Jingxiu thought of this, he couldn't help but rush up with anger and almost fainted. Those assassins of the Sudden Palace entered the Beijing and passed the paperwork, all of them were sent out from their own study, except for the girl who could pretend to be their own handwriting and steal their own official seals, and they would not be suspected by their subordinates!

In the next life, I will never give birth to a daughter again, and my daughter's elbow will always turn outward. Yin Sun Jingxiu, who was forced to rebel against the water, thought in his heart with great sadness.

Soon after the battle in the imperial city, the forbidden army forced its way into the harem through the main gate, and in front of more than a thousand tigers and wolves, the guards and eunuchs of the inner court, who had no masters, wisely chose to surrender, even if some hardliners were just dead corpses under the sweep of the forbidden army.

The harem was quiet for a while, and the sound of neat footsteps and the crackling sound of the armor could be faintly heard.

Fan Xian pushed open the door of the East Palace with a gloomy face, left the swordsmen of the Sudden Palace who were stationed here outside the palace, looked at the dead corpses all the way, and walked into this newly restored palace.

In the Hanguang Palace, Fan Xian behaved very calmly, but only he knew how disappointed he was in his heart. didn't catch the crown prince and the eldest princess, if they tore a big hole in their own plans.

A hole that may never be repaired.

He looked at the eunuchs and palace maids who were cowering in one place, and after a while, he lowered his head silently, and it seemed that he could hear the sound of horses' hooves sounding outside the distant palace walls.

He knew that this was an auditory hallucination, but he believed in the speed of the Great Prince's march, since the palace had been basically controlled, then he must have divided his brigade and began to advance towards the depth of Kyoto, trying to control a larger area, but he would be careful not to contact the Thirteen Castle Gate Division. The eldest prince, like him, will not leave behind since he has made a move, and the forbidden army and the Supervision Yuan are desperately pursuing the traces of the crown prince and the eldest princess in Kyoto at this time.

The most important thing is that Wan'er and Dabao were taken away by the eldest princess and did not save their relatives, which made him angry and depressed. Walking into a quiet room next to the hall, looking at the eunuch sitting on the ground, and looking at the acne marks on the eunuch's face, Fan Xian was furious in his heart, but in an instant, his heart was soft, and he sighed helplessly.
