God bless the decade, February twenty-one. The sky was unusually gloomy, and the sun was gray in the morning, and in a short time the sky began to pour down, and the cool breeze gathered raindrops, crackling on the roof like broad beans, like the drumbeat of an army.

At night, the wind and rain are harvested, and the whole Bianjing City is pitch black and silent. Yanwang's Mansion, the main hall. The hall was brightly lit, and King Yan was dressed in a crown of royal clothes, with a cold expression.

The personal guard stood beside him and said respectfully: "Your Highness, everything is ready, just wait for Your Highness's order." King Yan nodded, turned his eyes to look at the white-faced scribe in the hall, and asked, "How about the two armies outside the city?" The white-faced scribe bowed to King Yan, and then smiled confidently: "Li Yan is ready to command the Xiaomeng army, these days Li Yan has secretly gathered more than ten generals, and there are more than 2,000 elite soldiers in his hands. The Xiaoxiong Army, the third battalion and the fourth battalion, two disobedient generals, have been designed by us to pull out, because of the weapons under their command and were dismissed by the military department, and now these two battalions of soldiers and horses are under the command of the Xiaoxiong Army, so that Chang Yuan is under the jurisdiction, and there are more than 2,000 soldiers and horses. King Yan asked again, "What about the Rong family?" The white-faced scribe said: "Rong Xian has promised that he will open the palace gate for us at three o'clock tonight, and let the two armies of Xiaomeng, Xiaoxiong and the palace guards enter the palace." There are only a few thousand guards in the palace, as long as Rong Xian, the deputy commander of the front division of the palace, shouts loudly, the guards are caught off guard, and civil strife will occur. We only need to fight quickly, rush to the palace with lightning speed, and control the official family and the queen, then the general trend can be determined! King Yan frowned silently, and carefully went through every detail of all the plans in his mind, and after making sure that there were no mistakes, he nodded slowly.

King Yan turned his head to look at the emaciated middle-aged scribe with a sickly face: "What did the Five Cities Terracotta Division say?" The middle-aged scribe said: "Wu Mou, the deputy commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, heard that the Rong family was on our side, and his confidence in us was greatly increased, and he would find a way to seize the military power from the capital commander Dou Laoxi, control the Bianjing City Gate, and resist the reinforcements of the western suburbs camp." Wu Mu would also send people to set fire to the city everywhere to disturb the situation, so that the major wealthy families in the city would not dare to act rashly. ”

"If you can give me another two months, maybe you can grasp it even more......" King Yan's face sank like water, shook his head, and shook off the inopportune emotion.

In two months, King Yong has officially become the crown prince, and the minds of these people under his hands may also become wavering, and their strength will be weakened.

King Yan took a deep breath, and looked around the few people in the hall with majestic eyes, plus Rong Xian, who was still in the palace, and Wu Mou, who was still in the palace, and Wu Mou, who was the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, these people were the team behind his trouble.

If it comes to fruition, they will inevitably be ranked as the third duke, the lord and the prince in the future. If you fail, you will go to Huangquan with yourself...... When he stood up, King Yan's eyes were already full of murderous intent, and there was a bit of morbid madness, he pulled out the sword at his waist, raised his arms and shouted: "Meritorious service, just today!" Ladies and gentlemen, would you like to follow this king, lift the three-foot Qingfeng, and win the championship? In the main hall of the palace, everyone's emotions were ignited, and they bowed down in unison: "The ministers are willing to die for His Highness!" ”…… An hour later, the night was dark.

Great Zhou Imperial City, Xuande Gate. The palace lamps on the tall city tower are hung high, illuminating the empty square inside and outside the gate as bright as day.

In the square inside the gate, a team of dozens of guards was on duty to patrol the night. At this moment, neat footsteps suddenly came from the darkness in the distance.

The guards were slightly stunned, and then their expressions became nervous, and they unconsciously clenched the spears in their hands, and the leaders all drew their swords and shouted, "What person?" In the deep night, there was a cold snort, and a middle-aged man about forty years old slowly walked out wearing armor, followed by hundreds of heavily armed soldiers.

Du Tou saw the appearance of the person who came, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly saluted: "My subordinates meet the commander of the envoy!" "The person who came was Rong Xian, the deputy commander of the front division of the palace.

Rong Xian looked at Du Tou, and said expressionlessly: "I just received Your Majesty's order, there are thieves in the palace tonight, and I will be ordered to take over Xuande Gate." "There are thieves in the palace?

Du Tou's heart couldn't help but jump when he heard this, and after hesitating for a moment, he still lowered his head and asked: "Dare to ask the commander of the capital, can you have a military talisman, or is it Your Majesty's clear order?" Rong Xian's eyes narrowed slightly, stared at the head, and said coldly: "Are you questioning the general?" ”

"The last general will not dare." Du Tou Zhengse said: "It's just the duty of the last general, and I hope that the commander of the capital will not be surprised." ”

"Of course, there is an appointment. Without an edict, who dares to transfer troops privately, do you think this general has a few heads? Rong Xian's eyes flashed a fierce color, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was getting deeper and deeper, only to see him reach into his arms, and said with a smile towards the capital: "The order is here, you come here, take a closer look." Hearing Rong Xian say that there was an order, most of the doubts in his heart were put down, and he leaned over immediately.

Rong Xian really didn't disappoint Du Tou, and took out something from his arms, but it was not an order that Du Tou thought, but a dagger half a foot long.

In the flash of lightning, the dagger silently slashed through the neck of the capital, and blood spurted out. Du Tou's eyes were wide open, and he looked at Rong Xian in disbelief, his hands were holding his neck, his mouth was wide open, but he couldn't make a sound.

Seeing this, the guards behind the head were in a big mess, and they were at a loss, not knowing what to do.

The soldiers behind Rong Xian took advantage of this opportunity and shouted and rushed forward. While being caught off guard, there were already preparations, and the gap in numbers was huge, and with only half a cup of tea, dozens of guards were slaughtered.

Then Rong Xian ordered his own soldiers to clean the remaining guards on the city tower, and those who did not want to be attached were all killed on the spot.

It didn't take long for all the soldiers on the tower of Xuande Gate to be replaced by Rong Xian's henchmen, and the road at the head of the city was full of corpses.

Looking at the corpses and blood all over the city, Rong Xian looked indifferent, and waved his hand at his subordinate generals: "Shake the torch and tell the people outside that the Xuande Gate has been successful, and the door will be opened for them at three o'clock." At the same time, Wu Mou, the deputy commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, also suddenly attacked according to the plan.

Wu Mou first pretended to invite his colleagues to drink and have fun, secretly drugged in the wine, and stunned a group of senior generals including Dou Laoxi, who commanded the capital, and then led his henchmen to take over the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.

At the beginning of the hour, Wu Mu opened the Jingyang Gate to the west of Bianjing City. Under the cover of night, Li Yan and Chang Yuan led more than 5,000 elite soldiers of the Xiaomeng and Xiaoxiong armies to quietly enter Bianjing City and rushed straight in the direction of the imperial city.
