Several chamberlains rushed into the hall in a panic, knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi...... Zhao Qinming, the general of the cavalry, led 10,000 horses to hold the order of the eldest princess of Yongyang, and forcibly entered the palace without an edict! Now that the Fanglin Gate has been broken, it is coming to the forbidden place! ”

When these words came out, there was a great earthquake in the hall.

"-The horse is reversed?!"

"The Son of Heaven has always been a soldier...... Now it has become a rebel army and invaded the imperial city! ”

"Li Wei, you dare to openly instigate a rebellion, is this a move to force the palace to leave a stench for 10,000 years!"

The eldest princess of Yongyang slowly walked to the imperial stairs and said with a smile: "You have all decided with me the charges of killing the monarch left and right, why does this palace still care about this?" ”

In the face of those angry scoldings, she stood on the royal steps, and a group of guards with knives held swords to protect the steps-

She smiled and looked at everyone in the hall: "If you don't want to give me a good name, then I don't want it." This great sheng country name, there is nothing strange about this, even if the palace is overthrown and restarted, why not change the dynasty? ”

Li Wei ...... You rebellious thief who forgot your ancestors! ”

"The people who bring disaster to the country and the people!"

"What kind of face do you have to meet the ancestors of the Li family!"

"You can hold this palace accountable, this palace has never been concerned with people who are about to die." The eldest princess of Yongyang slowly sat down on the dragon chair, and the smile in her eyes grew: "However, this palace does not want to increase the killing, the new dynasty is about to open, it is the time to employ people, but anyone who knows the current affairs, this palace can abandon the previous suspicions...... It's not too late for you to choose another path. ”

"Extremely rebellious!"

"Even if we die, we will never succumb to your traitor!"

“……”

Although the scolding has not stopped, there are more people who have not spoken.

Most of the officials of Jiang Zhengfu's faction were detained in prison at this time, or were degraded elsewhere, and some of those who had spoken out against Li Wei's power had also been liquidated-

At this time, the people standing in the hall here, except for the officials who did not know the truth and were deceived by Li Wei and those who were neutral and wait-and-see, were mostly her henchmen.

Therefore, these scoldings were not enough for her to take to heart, she sat in the dragon chair, her posture relaxed and lazy: "That's fine, just cut through the mess...... This increasingly boring playbook, Bengong Cha is also a little tired of acting. ”

As she spoke, her eyes fell on the crown prince who was protected by several ministers, and her eyes were regretful: "It's just a pity Chang'er, I wanted to spare your life, so that you can take a good look at the magnificent scenery of the palace under the rule of this palace in the future for your father and grandfather...... But if you don't obey, you have to die again...... This time, my aunt really left you behind. ”

Looking at the already complete stranger, the prince's jaw tightened and his lips straightened.

The eldest princess of Yongyang turned her eyes slightly, met the girl's dark eyes, and couldn't help laughing.

She looked at Hengyu with great interest, and said softly: "You took great pains to deceive the palace, risked your life to rescue the prince, and tried every means to escort him back to the palace, and confessed the charges of the palace in front of the hundred officials...... You're so thorough, did you ever think it would be the result of the current situation? ”

"If you think that you have taken the lead and the hearts of the people, you can ask the palace to blame and help the prince regain control of the government-" She chuckled and said, "But the palace has never cared about this so-called people's heart...... Since ancient times, the change of the throne does not depend on a few words of scolding and accountability to determine the success or failure. ”

"Silly cat, how does it feel to be smart and throw yourself into a cage?" Her eyes were merciful and tolerant, like an elder in control of everything teaching a stupid child: "Don't make such a mistake again in the future." ”

Heng Yu looked at her: "So you showed up late, you were secretly arranging the transfer of troops." Yu Zhong's words in the palace delayed time, waiting for his rebels to break through the palace gate——"

At this time, the sky was already bright, and the morning light sprinkled into the hall, the eldest princess of Yongyang narrowed her eyes slightly, and replied in a relaxed tone: "Yes, otherwise how would this palace have the leisure to talk to them." ”

"Ah Heng, you should be happy...... This palace is reluctant to kill you, and after today, you still have a chance to reflect. ”

She swept her gaze indifferently over the people in the hall: "But the others are not as lucky as you...... They could have avoided these so-called truths, but it was because of your insistence that they were placed in this situation where they had to oppose this palace. And today's bloodbath in the palace city is also because you alone insist on saving the prince back to the palace-"

She smiled and said, "Today's lesson, you have to watch it carefully and memorize it firmly - otherwise so many lives will really be in vain." ”

Hengyu, who was standing against the morning light, had an uncertain expression on his face.

And as Li Wei's heart-wrenching words landed, there was already a fighting outside the hall.

Tang Wen learned the news that the Yiqi had broken through the palace gate, and he had no scruples, and had led a thousand cavalry guards to kill the Yanying Palace.

"Protect His Highness the Crown Prince!"

“……”

The hundred officials and inner supervisor Gong E fled in shock, and the lamp and candle in her hand were not extinguished when the sky was dark, and as the candlestick fell to the ground, the curtain screen was lit.

The flames, blood, and screams were mixed, and the majestic and solemn Yanying Hall fell into unprecedented chaos.

During the battle between the two sides, the prince walked out of the main hall through the side door under the protection of his henchmen and Lan Qing.

In the firelight, the eldest princess of Yongyang slowly stepped out of the Yanying Palace, and Tang Wen stepped forward and knelt down to plead guilty: "...... The subordinates did not do well in the East Palace and failed to get rid of the crown princess, so please ask His Royal Highness to surrender the crime! ”

"The prince suddenly returned to the palace, and people's hearts were inevitably disturbed." The eldest princess of Yongyang said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just a moment early and a moment late......"

She said, looking at one of the horsemen who was hurrying towards her—

"On the order of General Zhao, I came to report to His Highness that the Changle Gate has been broken, and the defense has now been replaced!"

Most of the palace gate guards in the palace were transferred from the cavalry to rotate, even if those who refused to obey the orders resisted and defended with the forbidden army in the palace, it was difficult to resist the rebel offensive after all.

"Okay." The eldest princess of Yongyang looked at the layers of palace walls and said, "Today, the palace will close the door and take care of the family affairs. ”

Tang Wen's expression perked up, and he raised his hand and said, "The minister is willing to personally take the head of Li Changxiang and present it to His Royal Highness, in order to redeem his merits!" ”

The general trend has been decided, and there is no possibility of the name of the thief being washed away, so why should there be any scruples!

A great future is in front of you, and you should strive to get it!

Hearing this "minister", the eldest princess of Yongyang laughed out loud, and her eyebrows and eyes stretched out.

……

"This Li Wei is like a madman!"

"I ordered a team of guards to go out of the palace and go to the Dongying to pass on the edict of His Royal Highness the Prince, ordering the Dongying to come quickly to crusade against the traitors! The West Camp rode back, could it be that the East Camp was also reversed? ! ”

"Doesn't Qi Shilang know that the war situation in the south is tight, so Li Wei has issued a strict order five days ago to transfer 50,000 soldiers and horses from Dongying to conquer the Nanzhao ......! Now in the East Camp, there are less than 10,000 soldiers and horses left, and most of them are scattered in Nanya, how can they resist! ”

In the earlier days, Dongying may not have been willing to listen to Li Wei's dispatch, but with the "death of the Marquis of Dingbei", the situation is rapidly tilting, and Dongying has no choice but to send troops to quell the rebellion in the south.

“…… This poisonous woman was really premeditated! ”

"Now the defense of the Beijing division is in the hands of Zhao Qinming in Xiying, and even if there are reinforcements, it is difficult to get close...... What's more, it's difficult to solve the fire from afar, I'm afraid it's ...... this time."

"Could it be that my Dasheng is really going to die at the hands of this poisonous woman!"

Several ministers paced anxiously in the province, but they could not come up with a feasible countermeasure.

And at this time, outside the closed door of the temple, there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps and the sound of fighting-

The blood on the faces of several ministers faded—

"Rebels...... Have broken the Tai Chi Gate?! ”

"How could it be ...... so quickly?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still safe?!"

Seeing that the general trend had gone, a minister with a white beard staggered back a step, and a look of grief and indignation welled up in his eyes: "The old man will fight with these chaotic ministers and thieves today...... ”

"Wei Gong must not!"

The officials grabbed the man to death and went to the apse: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may still be trying his best to resist the rebels...... How can Wei Gong talk about life and death lightly! ”

As soon as a few people fled, rebels broke down the door and quickly took control of the place.

……

However, in half a day, most of the inner and outer palace gates have been lost, and they have fallen under the control of the rebels.

The palace people fled for their lives, and there were also those who took advantage of the chaos to loot and loot property, and all the palaces were in chaos.

……

At this moment, the hall of manna is different from other places.

Under the service of the inner eunuch of Yiying Gong'e, the eldest princess of Yongyang burned incense and bathed, and the palace people dressed her in a dragon robe made in secret.

The woman's figure is thin, and she is dressed in layers of bright yellow gowns, barely adding a sense of spaciousness.

She stood in front of the mirror, raised her hand to support the crown on her head, and a pair of eyebrows stretched out on her overly fair face.

The palace people standing beside him didn't dare to look directly, and they all hung their heads and held their breath.

The eldest princess of Yongyang stood in front of the mirror for a long time.

Even if there is no news that the crown prince is dead, the entire palace and even the entire Jingshi are under her control, and the rest is just a cat-and-mouse drama-

At this moment, she has patience.

"Your Highness, General Zhao asks to see you!"

Hearing that Zhao Qinming had arrived, the smile in the eyes of the eldest princess of Yongyang deepened: "Biography-"

She didn't move in front of the mirror, Zhao Qinming stepped in quickly, kneeling down behind her.

But he said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness...... Oh no! ”

The eldest princess of Yongyang, who had already heard something strange from his chaotic footsteps, turned around and narrowed her eyes slightly: "What, the prince can't escape?" ”

"No......" Zhao Qinming said: "There is a large army forced outside the Chengtian Gate, and it will be impossible to resist!" ”

"What......" The eldest princess of Yongyang only felt extremely ridiculous and unrealistic when she heard it, and looked at him funny: "The army? Where did the army come from? ”

"Your Highness...... It's Lu Longjun! Dingbei Hou Xiao Mu is not dead! I saw it with my own eyes outside the Chengtian Gate below! …… The one who led the army was undoubtedly Xiao Mu! ”

"Xiao Mu ——?" The eldest princess of Yongyang frowned: "How could it be ......?"

She looked at Zhao Qinming with suspicion in her eyes: "Impossible...... Even though Xiao Mu faked his death before, Lu Longjun was far away in the north, when did he transfer his troops? Why haven't I heard any rumors before? ”
