Chapter 519: Imperial Palace Yanshang!
"Why don't you tell me! Why not! The emperor angrily kicked and kicked the waiter, and the waiter, who had just been promoted to the emperor's side, was already stunned at this time, and in a panic, he only knew how to protect his head and face in shock, and he didn't know why His Majesty the emperor was so angry.
He is just a small person, and all he obeys is the arrangement of those ministers and favored ministers who have been newly canonized by the emperor, so what can he have his own opinions?
It's just a pond fish that has been affected.
However, Changqing obviously did not mean to let go of this pond fish. He kicked the waiter brutally, and it was not until the waiter was kicked into the courtyard that he stopped out of breath. The emperor was furious, and the important ministers and ministers who were in the imperial palace had already arrived, and they all knelt outside the shoji gate, bowing their heads and not daring to say a word.
"Why did you drive away the generals of the Ming Dynasty?" Emperor Chokei's anger did not subside.
A group of people secretly looked at each other in private, isn't it that you can't get used to seeing Daming wantonly enclosure...... However, it was obvious that he could not say this directly at this moment, and a minister cautiously said: "Your Majesty, it is not us who expelled the general. It was the general who said that if they did not give them food, they would take it themselves......"
"So you're going to let him go and get Huailiang's grain?"
“…… Isn't it good to let Prince Huailiang suffer losses? ”
"......" Emperor Chokei was speechless for a while. Looking at the arched backs of these people in front of him, he knew that these people were all thinking that they were making a big fuss. In fact, he didn't know why he suddenly lost control of his emotions to this point, but he only knew that when he learned the news that the Ming general was leaving, he suddenly lost a sense of security in his heart.
"Could it be that because of such a trivial matter as grain and grass, Da Ming turned to help Huailiang? No, no, I am the emperor who holds righteousness......"
He just wanted to borrow grain and grass, knocking and knocking on Daming, but he didn't expect Daming to be so strong, he actually withdrew his troops directly and wanted to get grain and grass by himself...... Aren't they afraid of confronting Huai Liang head-on?
If Da Ming and Huai Liang fought, it would be a good thing. But why are you so uneasy?
Emperor Chokei thought to himself, thinking about the source of his uneasiness. Before I could think about my eyebrows, I heard a rush of footsteps. A samurai slammed open the shoji door: "Your Majesty the Emperor, it's not good. ”
"Outside...... Suddenly there was a fire outside, and traces of the march of the army were found! ”
"Nani!" Everyone was shocked.
Emperor Chokei fell to the ground. He suddenly knew why he was so terrified in the depths of his heart.
……
Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Prince Kaira led about 2,000 elite samurai to approach the Yoshino Imperial Palace.
The emperor of the Japanese kingdom is in the same line for all generations, and he directly sent troops to the imperial palace, and he still has a little worry in his conscience. But as the 500-strong Ming army really left the imperial palace to move grain, Huailiang's heart gradually calmed down: yes, the opportunity cannot be lost, only one Changqing is better to deal with than Changqing and the Ming army combined. What about the emperor? I just want Changqing to abdicate, and I don't want to kill the king.
What's more, the current Yamato Kingdom has two emperors!
The four daimyo he brought with him were all princes who had their hearts set on the Northern Dynasty. For Changqing, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, there is no trace of awe. When he saw the ninjas who had been mixed in in the imperial palace set on fire, the last trace of entanglement and hesitation of Huai Liang finally disappeared. He drew the sword from his waist, and his diminutive figure stood up on his horse, making himself look tall. Then the knife pointed in the direction of the Imperial Palace: "Charge!" ”
"The enemy is at the Yoshino Imperial Palace!"
"Tata open!!" The samurai roared and slaughtered the gate of the Imperial Palace, which was already panicked due to the fire. Huai Liang had already worked hard, and in this imperial palace, in addition to the five hundred Ming troops, there were only less than seven hundred warriors guarding the battle.
Moreover, these 700 people also belong to a number of daimyo who have only recently been co-opted by Changqing, and they all have ghosts.
These people, no matter what, will not be able to defeat these elite warriors they brought. However, Huailiang still looked at the wall of the imperial palace carefully with a weak heart, and made sure that there was no "national collapse" set up by the Ming army, so he was really relieved.
He asked the four daimyo to lead people around killing people and setting fires, while he himself led five hundred cronies and rushed to the inner sanctum.
As a member of the Heavenly Imperial Family, he knew very well what the most important goal of this battle was. In addition to Emperor Chokei himself, it is the symbol of the emperor's power held by the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty, the "Three Divine Weapons".
……
"Your Majesty, Prince Huailiang has already entered the Honmaru!" There were samurai who cried out to Emperor Chokei.
However, more people have begun to flee in all directions. Most of these people originally felt that Huailiang was unreliable, so they took refuge in Emperor Changqing and wanted to live in strange goods. But no one expected that Huai Liang would dare to take advantage of the fact that his power was not yet exhausted and attack the supreme emperor directly. Seeing that the position had failed, these people naturally scattered birds and beasts, and Changqing was also extremely flustered, seeing that the shouting and the fire were about to burn to the inner hall, Emperor Changqing felt great oppression.
"Find the Emperor!" However, the shouting of Huai Liangjun in front of him made him regain a little reason and hope.
"You go, you hurry up and take people to Sakai Port to find the Ming army!" Changqing dragged the samurai who was crying and mourning. "Tell King Wu of Daming that I am willing to give him ten, no, a hundred times the money and grain, and I am willing to give Daming a city that is bigger than Sakai Port. Even Yoshino, even Heiankyo, I can give it to him! ”
"I want him to come and save me at once, at once! Da Ming is here to help me calm the chaos, and now that the Huailiang chaos has appeared, Da Ming can take action! ”
"But, Your Majesty, ......" The samurai was foolish and loyal, and he was still worried about the emperor's life or death. Emperor Changqing said quickly: "It's okay, kill me, Huailiang is the enemy that everyone shouts and beats, even if it is the first shogunate general Ashikaga Zunji, he will not dare to kill the emperor." How dare he Huailiang kill me? ”
"You go quickly, after the matter is completed, I will make you the lord of the ten cities!"
The samurai's heart was hot, and he hurriedly answered. Then hurry away. Nagakei said the same thing again, ordered a few samurai who seemed to be still loyal, and finally returned to the inner hall, holding the three artifacts of the emperor's series firmly in his hands, and tried to maintain the emperor's majesty and sat on the throne.
The deification of the three artifacts by the Japanese people is even worse than that of the Han people for the jade seals of the country. The puppet emperor of the Northern Dynasty was the puppet emperor of the shogunate because he did not have the "three artifacts", so his legitimacy was questioned by many daimyo and guardians.
Although the emperor of the Southern Dynasty was driven out of Heiankyo by the Ashikaga clan, he was still regarded as royal orthodoxy by many daimyos, and quickly organized his power to fight against the rising shogunate.
In other words, as long as he Changqing still has the three artifacts in his hand, he is the supreme emperor of the Japanese people. Even if Huailiang occupied the imperial palace, he only dared to force him to abdicate, and would never dare to take his life.
"I still have a chance, I still have my cards. As long as King Wu of the Ming Dynasty can make a move, I will still be the emperor. Emperor Chokei muttered to himself, cheering himself on.
Daming is not a threat after all, and it is impossible to compete with him. As long as you are willing to pay a sufficient price, you will definitely be able to exchange for the help of the Ming Dynasty.
And as long as he still has the righteous title of the emperor in his hands, the king of Wu of the Ming Dynasty can only choose to help himself for the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.
Soon, the sound of samurai rubbing against each other sounded outside, and the shoji gate was cut by the sword, and Prince Huailiang, dressed in golden armor, strode in.
