Chapter 178: What about the emperor
Liang Nuying looked back in amazement, "He's not ......"
Zhao Jie directly stopped her from continuing with her actions, and decisively bowed down.
"Please ask the Queen Mother to issue an edict to mourn for Your Majesty."
Over there, Zhou Lai had already fallen to the ground, his face was blue and black, revealing a layer of death, and Zhang Rang hurriedly held him in his arms.
"I'm sorry, I failed His Majesty's instructions."
He smiled miserably, black blood was already gushing out from the corner of his mouth, and he looked dying.
Liang Nuying turned around and glanced at him, her heart was crossed, and she finally nodded, "Your Majesty has a sudden serious illness, and the dragon is in the sky." ”
When Tian Yan saw his condition, he knew that he could not be treated, so he sighed secretly, and had to order in a deep voice, "Protect Your Majesty, don't let those rebellious ministers and thieves rob you." ”
At this time, if Zhou Lai falls into the hands of Zhao Jie, he can also make a big fuss, so his corpse must be protected.
The imperial guards and the secret agents of the Long Lin Guard behind him agreed in unison, and one of them stepped forward to carry the angry Zhou Lai on his back, and retreated to the side hall in the center.
At this time, there were all Liang Nuying's people outside, there were not many of them, and they couldn't rush out, so they could only retreat and defend to the death.
It's a moment to be able to drag it out.
In the Huaguang Hall of Fanglin Garden, Empress Dowager Liang, who was lying on the couch and resting with her eyes closed, suddenly heard the shouts outside, opened her eyes and asked.
"What's going on?"
An attendant hurriedly came in, "Queen Mother, there are shouting everywhere outside, saying...... His Majesty has died. ”
"What?"
Empress Dowager Liang sat up in shock and looked at him in disbelief, "What the hell is going on, the emperor is young, how is it possible?" ”
Tian E's face was gloomy, "The Queen Mother has been asleep for a few days, and I don't know that we have been placed under house arrest by the Empress. ”
"It's Nuying, she's ......"
Empress Dowager Liang closed her eyes, a tear slipped from the corner of her eye, she knew exactly how capable her sister was.
Needless to say, someone must have been deceived, the Liang family, this time it is really over, and from now on, I am afraid that I will be uprooted from the world.
"That's it, I'm dying, I can't control so much, let her go, but I will be ashamed of the emperor in the future."
Empress Dowager Liang lay down weakly, her face was ashen, and she looked lifeless.
Tian E's heart was like a knife, and she twisted a wet handkerchief to carefully wipe the tears on her face.
The Queen Mother, it is estimated that she will not be able to pass this level, she is already lingering on the sickbed, and now she is going to be angry to death by Liang Nuying.
Tian Yan and the others retreated to the side hall, sealed the doors and windows with the board, and the arrows outside rained down, like hedgehogs, but they were helpless.
If the one inside was the real Liu Zhi, Zhao Jie would have ordered it to be set on fire, but now, what he wanted was the corpse that looked like the emperor.
Looking up at the sky, it was already unitary time, and seeing the sunset, if it was delayed for another night, I don't know what would happen.
Anxious, she turned to Liang Nuying and saluted, "Queen Mother, the minister will escort you to the Chongde Palace, and issue an edict announcing that the emperor will be in the palace, and the martial law Jingshi will be imposed first, so let's determine the position of the crown prince first." ”
At this point, Liang Nuying had already made up her mind and immediately nodded in agreement.
"Come on, surround me, and you must not let one go."
These people have no food or drink, and they will not be able to hold on sooner or later, and they will be able to break into the door when the time comes.
As for the real Liu Zhi, as long as the general trend of the previous dynasty has been decided, the hundred officials have surrendered, and the Jingshi is in his own hands, it is not a problem at all.
Even if he jumped out at that time, he would be sure to be a stand-in and kill him in advance.
The corners of Zhao Jie's mouth hooked up a cruel smile, what about the emperor, he is not still dead aggrieved, hahaha......
The movement of Fang Lin Yuan was so big, naturally it could not be hidden from Liu Zhi and the others, and they soon received the news.
"It looks like something happened to them in the past week."
Zhao Jie wanted to confuse the pearls, come to hide from the sky and cross the sea, and take over the imperial court.
Sure enough, it's a poisonous ploy.
"Immediately notify the Taiwei and the others, don't be fooled, just say that I am safe and sound at the moment, let them protect themselves."
Zhao Jie was calculating, knowing that the longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for him, so he wanted to cause him to collapse.
Liu Zhi walked around the room a few times with his hands in his hands, looked at the direction of Fanglin Garden, and suddenly had an idea.
"The Queen Mother is still in Fanglin Garden, as soon as Liang Nuying and Zhao Jie leave, the defense will be empty, why don't we go and rescue the Queen Mother."
Fan Chao is a big boss, and he doesn't understand political scheming at all, anyway, what Liu Zhi says is what he wants, and the fight is over, and he doesn't need to think about the rest.
"Order Cao Teng, let him divide a part of his men out and attack Fanglin Garden with me."
Liu Zhi took two steps and ordered again, "Order Sun Huai to attack from Xiamen and answer us." ”
After Sun Huai was appointed as the king of Bohai, he still served as the head of the Xiamen Pavilion, and Liu Zhi also secretly accumulated a vital force for him.
After all, the location of the Xia Gate is also very important, and at the critical moment, it can break Zhao Jie's blockade of the imperial city.
Now, it was time to use him, and he believed that as long as he had survived this long night, after dawn tomorrow, it would be time to decide the victory.
Yongle Palace is adjacent to Hong Lim Garden, and when you go out from the back door and pass through a garden, you will find the fence on the south side of Hong Lim Garden.
Since it was planned to sneak attack, it was naturally impossible to attack through the main gate, and a few secret posts by the wall were easily solved.
The guards who were exploring the path in front reported, "Captain Fan, it's a mess inside, most of the people are in the Sogo Palace, it seems that Tian Lang is still confronting him inside." ”
The soldiers in the palace were in chaos, Zhao Jie's manpower was basically taken away, and Liang Nuying also took all the personal guards with him.
Along the way, there are many dangers, and this kind of moment naturally cannot be careless.
Although there are a lot of people in Fanglin Garden, most of them are chamberlains and palace people who have little combat effectiveness, and the remaining limited forces are concentrated in the Sogo Hall and continue to besiege Tian Yan and others.
"Probe again, see if Tian Lang can hold up over there."
Liu Zhi has never fought, but he was born as a thief, and he understands the truth of knowing oneself and knowing that the other side will win all battles.
The trees in the garden are verdant, the mountains and rivers are intertwined, the pavilions are numerous, and the people are panicked, and it is very easy for hundreds of people to hide their figures.
After a while, the secret agent of Long Linwei who inquired about the news returned.
"Back to Captain Fan, Tian Lang hid them in the side hall, the two sides couldn't hold each other, and they should be fine in a short time."
These people are all well-trained, and in order to hide Liu Zhi's whereabouts, they only face Fan Chao when they reply.
"Very good, let's bypass the Sogo Palace, the Queen Mother should still be in the Huaguang Hall at this time."
There are only two large palaces in Hong Lim Garden, one or the other, and the other places are pavilions and water pavilions, and there is no way to live in them.
Therefore, Liu Zhicai concluded from this that the Empress Dowager Liang was in the Huaguang Palace at this time.
"At present, the situation of the Queen Mother is unknown, you should be careful."
Liu Zhi specially instructed, although he had insisted that the Queen Mother was held hostage, but it was difficult to say what the actual situation was.
In case the Queen Mother and Zhao Jie also joined forces, or acquiesced in each other's various behaviors, he ran to the rescue without any precautions, wouldn't he be caught in the net.
