Chapter 541: Palace Change (1)
Yun Lin sat on the right side of Emperor Yonghui's head, he was the king of the county and the only concubine of the emperor, so it was natural to sit here.
On the opposite side of Yunlin is the elder brother of Emperor Yonghui, Prince Cheng, that is, the son of the former emperor and concubine. There are many princes of the first emperor, but the high position of the biological mother is nothing more than the first four princes, the eldest prince and the second prince are all from Xiao Guifei, the third prince is from the virtuous concubine, and the fourth prince is from the queen.
Xiao Guifei's two sons failed to launch a palace rebellion and were sent out by Xiao Guifei. Later, he was noticed by Emperor Yonghui and sent Shen Hongjun to pursue him all the way, and finally fled to the sea. And the son of Concubine Xian has always been very honest, after Emperor Yonghui ascended the throne, he did not suppress this brother, but named him a prince. However, there were no fiefs, only princely titles and euphemias.
This Prince Cheng is a quiet person on weekdays, and he never puts forward any opinions on major court matters. On this occasion today, he only drank silently, and did not say anything else.
Yun Lin didn't dare to despise this uncle at all. can grow up safely in the deep palace, and for so many years, he will definitely not take a wrong half step, and he can enjoy the title of prince until now. Such a person is not simple. However, Yun Lin only hopes that this prince can maintain this state forever and be good for everyone.
Yun Lin's eyes looked at Shen Hongjun, and it happened that Shen Hongjun also looked at Yun Lin. The eyes of the two men met in the air, and each nodded, and looked at each other with a smile before staggering their gaze. They have time to talk, and there is no need to appear too close at this time.
Just as Yonghui raised his glass at this time, everyone raised a glass to celebrate, and Yunlin drank the wine in the cup.
Such a celebratory and peaceful scene was what Yun Lin was looking forward to, so he was also very happy in his heart. Just after three glasses of wine, someone next to him came to toast, and Yunlin held the wine glass, just wanting to drink with the visitor.
Suddenly, only the shout of Emperor Yonghui was heard, and the wine glass in Yun Lin's hand fell to the ground at once, and he hurriedly turned to look at his father on the dragon throne.
I saw that Emperor Yonghui was as pale as dirt at this moment, with purple and black blood stains on the corners of his mouth, and even the clothes on his chest were stained with a lot of blood, and the table in front of him was also dripping with blood. Yun Lin's panic was only for a moment, he immediately rushed to his father's side, and he didn't forget to shout in his mouth, "Quick, pass the order, block the entire hall, and can't let anyone go, the dragon guard, escort." ”
No one noticed that at the moment when Emperor Yonghui vomited blood, someone in the hall sneaked out.
At this time, Yun Lin had already stepped forward to support Emperor Yonghui, "Father, what do you think?" ”
At this time, Emperor Yonghui was speechless. Panting for breath in great pain.
Yun Lin's heart seemed to be torn apart, "Quick, go and ask the imperial doctor to come." As Yun Lin spoke, he took out a small porcelain bottle from the purse he was hanging, trembled his hands, and fed the pills in the porcelain bottle into the mouth of Emperor Yonghui.
It was the antidote pill that Yunni gave to Yunlin, and Yunlin was poisoned at the beginning, and thanks to this, the onset of the toxin could be delayed. Yunlin now carries it with him day and night, never leaving for a moment. Unexpectedly, it really came in handy today.
Things are almost lightning and flint, and the ministers of civil and military affairs have not yet reacted, and they are still a little stunned. At this time, Shen Hongjun came to Emperor Yonghui's side, and asked with concern on his face, "Lord Wang, how is Your Majesty?" ”
Only then did the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs below relent, and someone shouted, "There are assassins, escort quickly." ”
Around the main hall, only a few dozen dragon guards were guarding. Today is a celebration banquet, most of the Praetorian Guards patrol outside the main hall, and there are not many people in the hall. In addition, there are quite a few who are entertaining the soldiers who have entered the city. At this time, one of the commanders of the Dragon Praetorian Guard also reacted, and hurriedly shouted, "Immediately seal off the main hall and don't allow anyone to go out." He San, you take a few people, hurry up and ask the imperial doctor. ”
Before the commander could finish his sentence, he felt a sharp pain in his back, and when he looked down, he saw a bright knife piercing through his chest. His eyes widened, and he turned his head to see who had attacked him from behind, but at this moment, he no longer had that ability. The knife pierced his heart directly, blood gushed out, and he was almost immediately out of breath.
Behind the commander, a person who was also dressed in the costume of the Janissary directly pulled out the waist knife, and easily pulled out the commander's waist knife, and threw it directly into the middle of the main hall, shouting, "General Ma, the matter has been completed, and it will be up to you next." ”
The sword that flashed with cold light flew directly towards the horse general who came from the southeast. At this time, General Ma jumped up, stretched out his hand and took the waist knife, "Brothers, go on, kill this emperor, and the world will be the master." As he spoke, he kicked over the table in front of him, and then rushed in the direction of Emperor Yonghui.
Today's celebration banquet, because it was a banquet for the generals of the two sides, so the table seats were arranged at that time, and the people from the two sides were divided into the left and right sides of the main hall. The generals who came from the southeast sat on the right side of the main hall, and the people brought by Shen Hongjun were all on the left side of the main hall.
Between the elbows and armpits, although the cadre general brought by Shen Hongjun did not know what was happening, his reaction ability was still there. Yun Zhen was the first to rush up, his toes on the table, and then the two rose and fell, and stopped in front of the horse general. "Traitor, Hugh is rampant." As he spoke, he attacked Ma Shilong.
Shen Zhong and the others also jumped up at this time, and directly attacked the soldiers in the southeast on the opposite side. Together with the guards in the temple, they tried to stop the rebellious actions of the southeast.
Shen Hongjun stood beside Emperor Yonghui, and when he saw this scene, he hurriedly shouted, "Shen Zhong, you quickly go and give an order, gather three thousand soldiers, and arrest those rebels from the southeast." These people want to cooperate with the outside and seek to usurp the dynasty. Yun Zhen quickly went out of the city, passed on my military order, and took down all the 30,000 people outside the city. ”
And just as Shen Hongjun's words fell, he suddenly heard an explosion outside the main hall, and through the entrance of the main hall, there seemed to be a bright light. "Oh no, it's someone sending a signal outward." This kind of fireworks used for communication was developed by the imperial court not long ago, and it was used by the army to communicate information.
Shen Hongjun's mind thought quickly, and at the moment, it seemed that this was a conspiracy at all, a conspiracy designed by using his victorious return. The 30,000 soldiers from the southeast must have all rebelled, and they wanted to take the opportunity to launch a palace mutiny. At this time, no matter what, they must not be allowed to succeed in their plot.
"Go quickly, don't delay." Shen Hongjun shouted at Shen Zhong and Yun Zhen, "Soldiers, come with me to arrest the rebels and take down all these rebels from the southeast." Shen Hongjun said, and jumped into the battle.
Originally, Yun Zhen was blocking the surnamed Ma, but at this moment, Yun Zhen wanted to get out to report the news, and the surnamed Ma had no one to stop him. This Ma Shilong is indeed a fierce general, and he has weapons in his hands, and ordinary soldiers are not his opponents at all. Shen Hongjun only stepped forward in person and fought with him.
Before the soldiers entered the imperial city, all weapons and horses were taken away by the guards for unified management. So at this moment, all the soldiers are bare-handed. Only Ma Shilong had a waist knife thrown by the renegade guard in his hand, and he was showing his might at the moment.
There are also dozens of guards in the main hall, and they have weapons in their hands. But now that the commander has been killed, they can't figure out who else is rebellious and who is loyal to the emperor. At this moment, he couldn't care about it at all, so some of them reached out and drew their waist knives, and rushed towards the soldiers in the southeast.
Although there is no shortage of people with strong kung fu in these Praetorian Guards, many of them are the children of some noble families who are living in the Praetorian Guards. It's okay on weekdays, but in the face of these generals who have survived all the way from the battlefield, they are still inferior. Thankfully, they had weapons in their hands, so they were able to stop them.
Yun Zhen and Shen Zhong took a few people and turned around and rushed out, but the people on the other side also knew that they couldn't let them go out to report the news at all. As a result, many people rushed towards Yun Zhen and Shen Zhong, trying to stop them.
"Chen Ping, you take this jade pendant and the token, and kill them with Yun Zhen." Yun Lin stretched out his hand and ripped off a piece of jade pendant from his waist, and handed it to the guard Chen Ping beside him who gave it to him at the same time, as well as a golden token.
This Chen Ping is the guard assigned to Yunlin by Emperor Yonghui, with strong martial arts and loyalty. Emperor Yonghui once instructed Chen Ping not to leave Yunlin at any time, so even on an occasion like today, Chen Ping was by his side.
"Go to the east gate, go out of the imperial city, and go to move the rescue soldiers first. The token can mobilize the soldiers and horses of the capital command division and let them immediately rush to escort them. Then go to the palace and invite Yunni here. Although there are imperial doctors on duty in the palace, but in this case, Yun Lin can't believe those imperial doctors, and besides, he is also afraid that those imperial doctors will not be able to help his father detoxify. Now, it's best to let Yunni come, anyway, the imperial doctor is also called, and also find Yunni, so that nothing goes wrong.
"Bring all the guards of the palace, I don't know how many rebels there are at the moment, it's good to have more helpers." Yun Lin saw that Chen Ping had already rushed out, and gave another order.
Chen Ping knew the severity of the matter, but he didn't know how many rebels there were at the moment, let alone how many rebels there were in the forbidden army. So, Chen Ping also tried his best and rushed directly to Yun Zhen's side. "Follow me out."
Yun Zhen and Shen Zhong were originally very brave, although they didn't have weapons in their hands at the moment, but Yun Zhen's power was infinite, and it was not something that one or two people could stop. Together with Shen Zhong and Chen Ping, several people hugged each other and finally rushed out of the main hall.
