Chapter 587: A Defeat
Seeing that Zhou Chang was provoked by He Zhan, he couldn't help but show his fangs, He Qi was also anxious and angry, he knew that he could no longer indulge the deterioration of the situation at this time, since there were already captains who noticed the suspicions and turned against each other, delaying it would inevitably lead to the fluctuation of the army's morale, so today's plan would fall short, and what was waiting for him would definitely be ruined.
So He Qi immediately gave the killer who was hidden in the guards a positive look.
To say that this is not an ordinary palace guard, he has already mixed into the rank of captain, and he is even trusted by Dou Fu'an, He Qi expected that since Dou Fu'an dispatched some of his personal guards to the Forbidden Garden to rescue the Son of Heaven, he would inevitably leave this person at Fengtai Gate to guard, and this person was very greedy for money, and he actually put the fatal handle of accepting bribes from Pan Min's tenants into his hands, He Qi used this as a threat, so he forced this person to help him act.
As long as he used a secret weapon to hide at this time, he killed Wei Haichi on the spot......
Then his plan is not out of control.
No matter how He Qi squeezed his eyebrows, the captain was indifferent, and even showed a mysterious smile at him.
Hit the trick! In an instant, He Qi was empowered, so he didn't care about pretending anymore, and a pair of hideous and murderous eyes stared straight at Empress Dowager Wei.
The woman's willow eyebrows were raised slightly, and she was still soft.
"As you can see, what is not clear about today's events? It is clear that Wang He Qi of Ruyang colluded with Zhou Chang to rebel, and he believes it later! Speaking of this, the Queen Mother's tone was suddenly high, her plump chin was slightly raised, she was not afraid of the thousands of iron armor behind He Qi, and took two steps forward with great righteousness: "In front of Fengtai Gate today, most of the guards of the Shenwu Army are not complicit in the conspiracy, they just obey Zhou Chang's sophistry and are deceived by it, put down the weapons in their hands, retreat from Fengtai Gate, and do not blame the past, forgive Er and others are not guilty, if they are obsessed, they will be killed!" ”
"Wei, it turns out that you are the main culprit of the counterplot, you blame Yichuan for killing the Son of Heaven, and you want to kill the clan surnamed He on the spot, in order to emulate the Han Dynasty Empress Lu Pheasant to control the government!" At this time, He Qi knew that there was no way back, he didn't have time to think about how to make the world surrender in the future, he had to kill Wei Haichi on the spot, at least control Jiucheng Palace, and there was still a chance of success.
And Zhou Chang did not hesitate any longer, raised his sword high, and killed the defective captain, his blood-stained face was all over the cold, and he held his long sword high: "The guards of the Shenwu Army listen to the order, the Wei family usurped the throne, and the crime should be punished. ”
The brigade commanders and lieutenants who were bribed by him immediately agreed.
The sergeants looked at each other, some still hesitating, and some had a broken look on their faces.
But a lieutenant who had already set up Cheng Zhou Chang suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Everyone, just as the Queen Mother said, today's incident is clearly that the King of Ruyang colluded with Zhou Chang to rebel, and we were all deceived by Zhou Chang and reined in from the precipice, so that we would not leave the family behind." After speaking, he threw the long sword in his hand to the ground and knelt on his knees.
And at this moment, He Qi heard Dou Fu'an's loud shouting in the back: "Empress Dowager, the Holy Lord was attacked in the Forbidden Garden, and the King of Yichuan was desperately escorted, and the King of Jin rescued in time, all the assassins were caught, and the Holy Dragon was not injured, and by the order of the Empress Dowager, three thousand Yulin troops have been transferred to escort it, and wait for the will of the Empress Dowager!" ”
It's over, it's all over, she has completely fallen into Wei Haichi's trap, this vicious woman has already ordered Dou Fu'an to mobilize the Yulin Army!
He Qi looked around blankly, only to see the top of the palace wall on the east and west sides, and the Yulin guards who were in ambush at some point, at this time, they neatly poked out the strong bow and crossbow, and the sharp tip of the arrow reflected the red sun, shining straight to his pupils.
Behind him, there was another neat pace, bringing an earth-shattering roar.
A feather arrow broke through the air, He Qi only felt a cold down his spine, at that moment he almost saw that the door of the Netherworld was open, the threat of death made his hands and feet numb, he even closed his eyes, but he didn't wait for a long time The severe pain in his body was not waiting for a long time, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw that Zhou Chang had already opened his eyes in anger and died on the spot.
More and more Shenwu soldiers finally came to their senses, whether they participated in this coup d'état or not, they all disarmed and surrendered at this time, and they were so outnumbered that they still had the slightest fighting spirit?
He Qi opened his mouth, as if he wanted to make a final struggle, but he suddenly saw King Yichuan standing proudly under the protection of Yulin Guard, although his arm was stained with blood, and He Er, the son of heaven, who was protected by King Jin and was unharmed.
Even He Tao missed!
He was utterly defeated.
He didn't even see Empress Dowager Wei raise his arm slightly, and the guards rushed up, arresting the few little leaders who responded immediately after Zhou Chang raised his arms and knelt on the ground, when He Qi came back to his senses again, the captain of the guards who had been bought by him had already clasped his arm, He Qi reprimanded angrily before he spoke, and suddenly felt a dull pain in his knees, and he was forced to kneel on the ground, although he stubbornly held his head high, all he saw was Empress Dowager Wei's condescending disdain.
She seemed to be saying: Fight with me, He Qi, you are still far away.
This sudden coup d'état ended quietly in front of Fengtai Gate, but two people died.
But that's certainly not the end.
Shi Niang didn't say a word from beginning to end, and everything was taken for granted in her eyes, she didn't even pay special attention to He Qi, the leading actor, but when she saw the Son of Heaven being brought back safely by He Ye, Shi Niang glanced at Xie Ying, and sure enough, she was extremely unwilling to see her at that moment, followed by an inexplicable anxiety, so that she stared at the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager didn't pay attention to Xie Ying at all, although she quelled the coup d'état initiated by King Ruyang, but for her plan, it was actually just beginning.
What she has to do now is to order her to return to Beijing immediately, and then thoroughly investigate the case.
However, just as it is necessary to go through labor and mobilization when leaving Beijing, of course, you can't just go when you return to Beijing, especially the turmoil in the Jiucheng Palace, the safety issue must be more careful, the Queen Mother will arrange the itinerary and guard along the way to rest assured to Dou Fu'an, but she is not in a hurry to interrogate a criminal, when the question of the serious suspicion of the Shizi Tao was seriously injured and unconscious, but also specially handed over to the medical officer to diagnose and treat, must not let He Tao have any mistakes, and turned a blind eye to the desire of the King of Yichuan on the side, extremely gentle comfort:" You are frightened, I know many things, you don't need to say much, the prince is seriously injured, everything will be theorized after returning to Beijing. ”
Only Du Zhao met with He Ye and asked what happened in the Forbidden Garden.
"At the order of my mother, I immediately rushed to the forbidden garden, but I didn't know where the holy car was, I was asking the guards, I heard the warning of the thousand cow guards, and immediately rushed to, the forbidden garden for some reason mixed with more than 30 black-clothed assassins, and there were only ten guards around the saint, when I arrived, the king of Yichuan was leading the guards to fight against the assassins, I remembered the order of the mother, and immediately killed to protect the saint, He Tao was originally near the left of the saint, saw that I arrived, and wanted to break me apart, let me help the king of Yichuan kill the enemy, I didn't pay attention to him, resolutely not to leave the holy car, He Tao stepped forward, I thought he was going to help the King of Yichuan fight against the enemy, how did he actually attack Yichuan behind his back, the King of Yichuan was injured by him in his left arm, and he was about to die on the spot, the Holy Lord ordered me to come to the rescue, and I did not dare to disobey the Holy Decree, so He Tao was seriously injured, and Qianniuwei arrived in time to kill the assassins, and I escorted the Holy Shang to Fengtai Gate. ”
The Queen Mother had already been aware of He Qi's conspiracy, how could she let him succeed? In fact, around the Son of Heaven, there have always been secret guards watching, if He Tao wants to be unfavorable to the Son of Heaven, he will inevitably be shot on the spot, and the Queen Mother asked He Ye to rush to the rescue, in fact, it is mainly for the sake of temptation.
As long as He Ye has a trace of ambition, he will inevitably indulge He Tao to harm the Son of Heaven, and may even sneak attack Yichuan and the Son of Heaven, falsely claiming that the two died at the hands of assassins, if so, the Queen Mother will take advantage of the situation to eradicate He Ye.
Of course, even if He Ye had this conspiracy, it would be impossible for him to succeed, and the secret guard arranged by the Queen Mother would not let him harm the Son of Heaven.
In fact, before asking He Ye, the Queen Mother had already heard about the incident from the mouth of the secret guard, and there was no discrepancy with what He Ye said.
If a person suddenly encounters an opportunity that is imminent at hand, he is most likely to expose his greed, because he does not have time to think deeply, but only sees the great temptation in front of him.
The Queen Mother is suspicious, and temptation has almost become her habit, so even if He Ye passes this time, it will never be the Queen Mother's last test.
"Regarding He Tao's crimes, you must not make a public announcement, I have my own decision, Ye'er should keep it in mind." The Queen Mother explained.
"It's simple for me to keep my mouth shut, but my mother ......" He Ye laughed and said: "Seeing that my son is about to hold a crown ceremony, the princess will ...... in the future."
The Queen Mother's face was cold, and before He Ye finished speaking, she decisively stopped: "I have my own opinions on this matter." ”
