Fortunately, Zeng Chaosheng had been paying attention to the movement above, and when he saw Bi Zhongyou coming up, he knew that it was not good, and shouted, "Queen Mother be careful."

Then he pushed the soldier who raised the gate forward, and blocked the arrow with the gate.

At this time, the people on the city wall were also stunned for a while when they saw this scene.

Except for some diehard Bi Zhongyou, most of the others were just coerced in.

It was already a last resort to rebel, and I never thought that I would attack the queen of the dynasty.

This scene had a big impact on them, plus what Queen Cao said earlier.

Everyone who had preconceived ideas thought that Bi Zhongyou was debunking a lie, and the dog jumped off the wall and wanted to kill Queen Cao, so as to force everyone to stand with him all the way.

At this moment, the dissatisfaction in everyone's hearts erupted, and even someone said, "Bi Zhongyou is trying to force us to death, can we just sit back and wait for death."

The official family has forgiven us for our capital crimes, and allowed us to make meritorious contributions for our crimes, and now is the time for us to repay the officials."

As he spoke, he rushed towards Bi Zhongyou with his knife, and this action immediately caused a chain reaction on the city wall, and many people who were already dissatisfied with Bi Zhongyou began to counterattack.

Of course, Bi Zhongyou is an old fox in officialdom after all, and naturally there are still some henchmen around him, so the people on both sides started a fight in the city wall.

When Zeng Chaosheng under the city saw this, he immediately thought of adding fire to them, so he asked Empress Cao to shout again: "The official family has a saying, no matter who it is, as long as Bi Zhongyou is taken, whoever is the envoy of the festival."

Hearing this, everyone was even more excited, and more and more people participated.

After all, there were few cronies around Bi Zhongyou, and they were caught in the middle and besieged from both sides, so they couldn't resist it.

At this time, seeing that the general trend had gone, a cronie beside Bi Zhongyou simply cut Bi Zhongyou directly with a backhand, and then made up a few knives.

After seeing that Bi Zhongyou was silent, he then said loudly, "I have already killed Bi Zhongyou."

Hearing this man's shout, both sides of the battle were stunned for a moment, but then the people next to him raised their knives and cut him down.

As for the purpose of helping Bi Zhongyou take revenge, I don't know if he can ascend to the sky in one step.

Since the main lord is dead, there is no point in continuing this fight, so soon the city wall calmed down.

When Zeng Chaosheng saw this situation, he immediately asked people to go up to the city wall with an edict and officially appeased everyone.

After collecting their weapons, he led them down to the city and took them back to Yanyi Pavilion to take care of them.

But as for how to deal with them, Zeng Chaosheng was a little embarrassed.

After all, there are not enough troops in the palace now, and if people keep an eye on them, it will inevitably make the nervous manpower even worse.

But if he left it alone, Zeng Chaosheng couldn't rest assured, after all, these people were involved in Bi Zhongyou's rebellion.

Don't look at them now, they are very honest, but when Zhao Zongquan led his troops to attack the imperial city, the ghost knows if these people will jump back again.

Now everyone's net worth and life are here, so I can't help but be careless and cautious.

So after arranging the defense of Donghua Gate, Zeng Chaosheng found Empress Cao and discussed how to deal with these people.

….

Zeng Chaosheng had the idea of once and for all at this time, after all, it was for the sake of the world, so he wanted these people to make sacrifices.

Of course, Zeng Chaosheng did not propose it directly, but implied it to Empress Cao vaguely.

Empress Cao's side naturally won't agree to this, no matter what it is based on, it is impossible for Empress Cao to go back on her word.

Since it has been stated that she forgives those who are coerced, then Empress Cao will not break her promise, let alone kill someone.

Once things are really done, even if he can win against Zhao Zongquan, he will completely lose his trust in front of hundreds of officials, and the hidden dangers will be endless at that time.

However, this problem did need to be solved, and Empress Cao proposed, "In fact, there is a palace in the palace, as usual

It was used to imprison the palace maids and eunuchs who made mistakes.

The houses there are very fortified, and there is only one exit, and as long as the door is sealed, no one can escape."

Regarding Empress Cao's proposal, Zeng Chaosheng also agreed immediately, anyway, without Empress Cao's nod, Zeng Chaosheng would not dare to kill anyone.

Empress Cao's proposal was also safe, so Zeng Chaosheng hurried down to do it, after all, the defense of the entire palace was to be arranged next, and the time was still very tight.

And when Zeng Chaosheng was busy, Zhao Zongquan had already taken Zhao Ceying with him to join the people in the western suburbs and march towards Bianjing City.

As a result, as soon as the army reached the Wansheng Gate, they found that the city gates had been closed at this time.

It turned out that when the defenders of the city gate saw a large number of soldiers approaching, although they didn't know what the situation was, their first reaction was to close the city gate.

Originally, Zhao Zongquan also installed people in the city guard, and also arranged how to use it.

But because of Bi Zhongyou, this incident happened too suddenly, resulting in all the plans originally arranged, most of which cannot be realized normally now, just like the gate in front of you.

Especially now that the situation in the palace is unknown, Zhao Zongquan is worried that Bi Zhongyou will not last long, and wants to quickly bring someone to support.

Therefore, Zhao Zongquan saluted first and then soldiers, and after he stepped forward to persuade the city guards to open the city gate to no avail.

Zhao Zongquan immediately asked people to storm Wanshengmen, anyway, there were still some ladders and rushing cars to attack the city, and they were prepared early in the morning.

Of course, one of the main reasons is that Zhao Zongquan is well aware of the strength of the city guards.

You must know that since the last palace change, it is not only the guards in the palace who have changed, but also the guards in Bianjing City.

After all, almost all of these soldiers and horses in Bianjing City were implicated last time.

Therefore, Zhao Zhen issued an order later, and in the future, the inspection of Bianjing no longer needs to be done by the Fourth Army, but is managed by the leader of Kaifeng Mansion.

Anyway, in Zhao Zhen's opinion, the combat ability of the city guard is not important, after all, if someone is really coming from a foreign enemy, there is a large battalion in the western suburbs.

If it is true that the camp in the western suburbs can't withstand it, then the city guards don't have to count on it.

Moreover, there are other advantages to the weakness of the city guards, at least in this way, in Bianjing City, there is no threat to the palace.

Therefore, for the actual combat ability of the city guards, Zhao Zongquan can't look down on it at all.

And this is indeed the case, in the face of the fierce siege battle on Zhao Zongquan's side, the city guards only lasted for two rounds, and then they began to be unable to hold on, and some timid people had already begun to escape.

….

This ran one and there was a second and a third, and soon the city guards completely lost their ability to resist, and they dispersed in a hurry, allowing Zhao Zongquan to lead people into Bianjing City.

After entering the city, Zhao Zongquan found all the leading generals and began to assign specific tasks.

First of all, four teams of men and horses were divided, except for one who stayed at Wansheng Gate, and the other three teams went to the other three city gates to completely seal Bianjing City.

In addition, a few more teams were sent to protect the important official eunuchs in Bianjing City, and they were safely protected in their own hands, and this matter was handed over to Zhao Zongquan and Shen Congxing.

The rest of the troops, Zhao Zongquan had to personally take them to the palace to support Bi Zhongyou.

After Zhao Zongquan arranged everything, everyone took their own orders and went down to carry out the task.

However, Zhao Zongquan left Zhao Ceying and Shen Congxing alone, and said, "I left you here just to tell you a few more words.

The first place you have to go on this trip is Li Hao's mansion, and the talisman in his hand is a hidden danger after all.

[The problem of slow update of new chapters is in the can.]

。」

After telling him, Zhao Zongquan asked the two of them to hurry up and bring someone to do it.

But Zhao Ceying and Shen Congxing did not leave at this time, but glanced at each other.

Zhao Ceying asked, "Then what should we do with the Zhongjing Marquis Mansion?"

Hearing this, Zhao Zongquan knew that they were asking for the Xiao Shen clan, so he replied, "The Zhongjing Marquis Mansion will also send someone to protect it, this is also for their good."

First, it can protect them from being harassed, and secondly, you also know the temper of the old marquis of his family, if you don't control it, what will happen, you also know it.

At that time, it will only be more difficult for your aunt, and it will be for her good to let you pass."

What he said was a high-sounding thing, anyway, Zhao Ceying and Shen Congxing had nothing to argue with for a while, so they obeyed the order.

Because Zhao Ceying and Shen Congxing had the least number of people to be deployed, although they were the latest to come out, they were the first to set off.

But before he could go far, he was attacked by an unexpected attack.

Although the attacking side was the city guards with the soldiers of the left and right armies as the main body, it stands to reason that the combat strength was much worse than that of the large battalion in the western suburbs.

The siege battle just now has proved this, but because of how the two of them thought that the city guards would take the initiative to attack them, plus the number of people brought by the two is insufficient.

For a while, he was pressed and beaten by them, but fortunately, Zhao Zongquan's side quickly learned the news and sent someone over to beat the city guards back.

In this case, Zhao Zongquan was no longer busy dividing his troops, except that his original plan to go to the palace remained unchanged.

The rest of the men and horses gathered first and began to pursue the guards of the city, and after they were completely eliminated, they went to complete their respective tasks.

….

At the beginning, the people of the city guards relied on their familiarity with Bianjing City, and used the terrain to form a situation of fighting more and fighting less, but it caused a lot of losses to Zhao Ceying and them.

But as Zhao Zongquan's part of the people approached the palace in a hurry, the people of the city guards suddenly gave up Zhao Ceying's side and turned to provoke Zhao Zongquan.

At first, Zhao Zongquan also sent people to chase and pursue, but later Zhao Zongquan slowly discovered that something was wrong.

Because the city guards are not really going to attack, they are more like stalling for time.

Thinking of the place he was going to, Zhao Zongquan keenly knew how to deal with the city guards.

So Zhao Zongquan no longer cared about the attack of the city guards, and went to the palace wholeheartedly.

As Zhao Zongquan got closer and closer to the palace, the people of the city guard saw that Zhao Zongquan was no longer fooled.

In order to protect the safety of the palace, he had to take the initiative to come out and fight with Zhao Zongquan.

It's just a frontal fight, the city guard is really not the opponent of the western suburbs battalion, and the main advantage of the city guard is to be familiar with the terrain.

Just when the city guards wanted to take advantage of the terrain to leave, suddenly Zhao Ceying and the others killed them from behind and made dumplings for the city guards.

Now the city guard really can't run away, and if he holds on for a while, the city guard really has no way out.

At this time, Zhao Zongquan began to persuade him to surrender, and under the threat of death, the city guards began to surrender in batches.

It was at this time that Zhao Zongquan and the others knew that the leader on the opposite side was the current Quanzhi Kaifeng Mansion Zeng Gongliang.

This news surprised everyone, but they didn't expect this civil official to be so bold.

It's just a pity that when Zhao Zongquan knew that he wanted to find someone again, Zeng Gongliang had already escaped from the chaos, and he didn't know which corner to run to and stay.

Zhao Zongquan doesn't have time to check now, after all, it is still more important in the palace.

So Zhao Zongquan followed the original plan and let each team do their own thing.

and handed over the task of finding Zeng Gongliang to Zhao Ceying.

Then the various ministries began to act according to their own plans, to be honest, Zeng Gongliang could cause considerable losses to Zhao Zongquan this time, and also successfully delayed time.

In fact, if it weren't for Zeng Gongliang's operation, it might have been

Chaosheng's side did not have enough time to arrange the defense of the palace.

Anyway, when Zhao Zongquan arrived at Xihua Gate, he originally thought that he would be greeted by Bi Zhongyou and the open palace gate.

But in fact, the gate is closed, and the walls are full of soldiers, so it seems that they have been prepared.

Zhao Zongquan was really strange in his heart at this time, obviously it was all negotiated before, and let Bi Zhongyou take Xihuamen and wait for help, but what about him now.

Thinking of the unsmooth progress along the way, Zhao Zongquan's heart is really clouded now.

But in fact, it's not just Zhao Zongquan who is not going well.

Zhao Ceying and Shen Congxing's side was also not smooth, and the first one to come with soldiers and horses was Li Hao's mansion.

Originally, the two of them planned to salute first and then soldier, and have a good talk first, if Li Hao was willing to join them, then naturally everyone would be happy.

If it doesn't work, then the two of them will do it again.

But who would have thought that now Li Hao's mansion is empty, not only Li Hao's family, but even the people in the mansion.

Seeing this, Zhao Ceying sent someone to look for it, because Zhao Zongquan sent someone to keep an eye on the Li family, and now Zhao Ceying wanted to find him and ask what was going on.

It turned out that when Zhao Zongquan attacked Wanshengmen, it had already spread throughout Bianjing City, and it had also reached Fu Deng's ears.

Fu Deng knew that things were not good, so he dismissed all his subordinates according to Li Hao's instructions when he left.

In addition, in order to keep it secret, Fu Deng also took someone to solve all the stalking at the door, including Zhao Zongquan's people.

So Zhao Ceying waited for a long time, and in the end no one came to report, what is the situation.

There was no way, Zhao Ceying had to take people to other mansions to take a look, and it turned out that not only Li Hao, but also Gu Tingye and Yang Wenyuan's mansions also had this situation.

Although it is not as clean as Li Hao's house, there is not a single main family left in the house.

Such a discovery inevitably made Zhao Ceying feel that something was wrong.

From knowledge to strength
