"Lord Yu," Gong Zhao came in with a stack of brochures in his hand and bowed to Yan Wen, "Sun Weigao has finished the trial, and the words I asked him to confess are written on it, please Yan Shenzheng and transfer it to the Criminal Department, and the case will be decided as soon as possible." ”

"Well, you're doing a great job." Yan Wen took the booklet, glanced at it a few times, and said.

"Xia Guan wants to dare to ask a big rebellious word......" Gong Zhao said, and begged him with his spare eyes.

Yan Wen smiled knowingly: "It doesn't hurt to say that these traitors are innocent of the party and have died innocently." ”

"As soon as Sun Weigao is captured, the East Palace must be vigilant. Should you urgently surround the Prince's Mansion, lest Zhang Han hold the East Palace hostage and resist. ”

Yan Wen pondered for a while, then raised his head and replied: "The crown prince is the prince of the country, if there is no holy decree, he is imprisoned without authorization, I am afraid that he will be suspected of committing rebellion." It is better to only send troops to be stationed outside the palace gate, and send people to appease the prince from time to time, so that he can hand over Zhang Han, ease his vigilance, and let this matter pass peacefully. But if he insists on using force, we will have a truth. ”

When Gong Zhao heard this, he was afraid that Yan Wen would do it himself, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Lord Yan is really worried about the government and politics, and he thinks so thoughtfully. Gong also has to deal with Sun Weigao's case, so he has no time to accompany him and leaves. ”

Yan Wen only glanced at him, then nodded slowly, and motioned for him to go out.

Zhang Han has been hiding in the side hall next to him, and even the meal is sent by the chef himself, and he has never shown up. Although he had heard that Yan Wen had only repeatedly sent his chamberlains and did not send troops, he still felt that it was best to be on guard, so he stayed in the house until the night. I couldn't sleep, so I had to barely read by the light.

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden knock on the door of the palace, and more than a dozen armor soldiers ran outside, and the open flames were lined up on both sides, and one of the officers strode in front of him, hugged his fists and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is guilty of rebellion against the Duke of Zhang, and he is here to escort you to Dali Temple!" If Yushi still wants to be decent, he will obediently go with us; Otherwise, you're welcome! ”

Zhang Han resolutely got up, then stretched out his arms and said to the officer: "I am a minister, how dare I disobey the decree of the crown prince?" If you're still afraid that I'll run away, tie me up tightly! ”

When the officer saw his death-defying spirit, his heart was full of unbearable, and the prince had no choice but to tie him up, deliberately loosen the rope, and escorted him straight to the main hall.

"Get on your knees!" The soldiers in the hall kicked Zhang Han on the knee who had just walked over, causing Zhang Han to fall to the ground and scream, and he covered his legs for a moment.

"Why is he also an old minister of the country, how can you bully others? You're disgraced by the prince! The officer angrily walked up and slapped the soldier and smacked him. Then he turned around and helped Zhang Han up and made him kneel upright.

"Traitor! Traitor! ”

The curtain in the inner room was suddenly lifted, the prince flicked his sleeves, his face was red with annoyance, and when he entered the hall, he paced back and forth angrily, pointing at Zhang Han's face and scolding: "Traitor! Traitor! How did my father raise you and other traitors! It must be handed over to the imperial court and punished with a heavy sentence! ”

"Is there anyone else you are talking to him?" The prince looked at the officer and said in a stern tone, "Everyone go out for me, I will count the charges of this guy first!" ”

"Your Highness......" The officer wanted to speak and stopped, so he had to cough and lead the troops out of the hall.

The prince bowed his head and said nothing, took the sword from the shelf, and threw down the scabbard, the sword shining with a cold white light.

Zhang Han breathed a long sigh of relief, kowtowed, and said: "I have been running around for the society for several years, killing the Liu Party wholeheartedly, and I have no complaints. Today, he has caused Si Yong to be beheaded all over the house, and he deserves to pay for his life! With that, he raised his neck, closed his eyes tightly, and waited for his hand to fall.

He gradually opened his eyes and saw that the rope on his body had fallen, and the prince threw down the sword in his hand and threw himself in front of him, tears raining down: "Zhang Yushi, Mr. Si Yong's victimization is a crime that I don't notice." But Yan Wen came to urge each other more tonight, clearly wanting to take your life...... This king is the prince, but he is humiliated by Xiaoxiao, and he looks at other people's faces all day long! ”

Zhang Han held the crown prince in fear, and paused again: "Your Highness has deep ambition, and you are the holy heir of the real dynasty!" The minister is willing to follow His Royal Highness to the death and go out of the palace to seek peace and erection! ”

The prince wiped his swollen red eyes, no longer sentimental, raised his sword again, and pointed straight out of the hall: "Yushi rushed out with me, even if I die, I will fight it a bloody way!" ”

The doors of the temple were wide open.

The prince came out of the darkness, took a torch from the soldiers next to him, looked around, and shouted to the soldiers: "Soldiers! You have assisted the king for many years, and there are difficulties in the court today, but are you willing to follow it? ”

When the officer heard this, he saw Zhang Han standing behind him, and was greatly encouraged, and first responded with his soldiers: "I am willing to obey Your Highness!" ”

As soon as these words came out, it was like a gust of wind, setting off huge waves, and the entire East Palace was surrounded by the same sound.

"I'm waiting for Your Highness!"

"I would like to ...... from His Highness"

Wave after wave of shouts seemed to bring everyone together.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the prince released me to resist the old thief of Liuzhen to the end!" Zhang Han raised his arms and shouted, "But don't be afraid! We still have King Xu's army behind us! He's already on his way to Beijing! When we get out of the palace, go straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and capture the Yan Wen thief party alive, victory is just around the corner! ”

The crowd responded like a tsunami.

"Please give the prince an order!"

The prince walked down the stone steps step by step, let people lead the horses, and then turned over and rode on, waving his sword: "Everyone open the palace gate and kill it!" ”

The guards outside heard the noise in the palace, and they all rode their horses to take a look, but who knew that the gate was suddenly pushed open, and before they could react, more than a dozen arrows had flown out of it, piercing the necks of four officers and soldiers.

Then there was a great sound of killing, and the officer jumped out of his horse, and beheaded two more soldiers, while the rest fled in a hurry, throwing away their armor and being trampled directly by the horses' hooves; The prince waved his army straight forward and knocked on the east gate.

There were soldiers guarding the east gate, and when they saw that the prince's counter-soldiers had arrived, they hurriedly set up bows and crossbows, and arrows rained down to shoot a large number of people and horses. The prince was frightened, and he made people rush forward, but he was still shot back, and he was puzzled. After going back and forth three or four times, they still couldn't touch the door, and the morale of the guards gradually declined.

The people in the city shouted: "Zhang Han hijacked the prince to rebel, if you still work for him, stubbornly do not come to his senses, and when the holy car is returned, the nine clans will be punished; If you surrender now, you will not be prosecuted! ”

After that, two teams of infantry troops were sent, both of which hung big-character banners, and rushed to kill the future, and as soon as the first soldier side took over, they scattered in a hurry and fled in all directions.

Zhang Han was about to return to his horse, but he was shot off his horse by a bow and arrow in the chaos and disappeared; And the officer, with the only dozen or so soldiers left, covered the prince to escape from the battlefield.
