Chapter 418: Destruction (2)

Taihe Palace, commonly known as Jinluan Palace, was built in the eighteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, this is called "Fengtian Palace", Shunzhi two years changed its name to Taihe Palace, it is the largest wooden building in the present era, Taihe Hall is the most important hall in the imperial palace, it is the place where grand ceremonies are held, such as the emperor's enthronement, the emperor's wedding, the canonization of the queen, the order of the general expedition and so on are held in the Taihe Palace. Since the completion of the Taihe Palace, it has been repeatedly overfired, and it has been rebuilt many times before and after, even during the reign of the old man Kangxi, the Taihe Hall is also a constant fire, and it is common to walk the water, but it is not simple to walk the water during this chaos, the eunuchs and soldiers of the good fighting battalion of the palace have to guard the palace at one end, and they have to take care of extinguishing the fire at the other end, and the whole palace suddenly became a pot of porridge.

At this moment, the fierce battle in the Xinzhiku has undergone drastic changes - just when the Ouchi guards were fighting bloodily, He Tie finally led his troops to arrive, as soon as this new force of hundreds of people joined the battlefield, it immediately turned the whole tide of the battle, and the rebels who invaded the palace could no longer support it, and were forced to retreat from the Yongdao to the Xinzheku, and they couldn't resist the attack of the Shanpu battalion, and when they tried to escape from the small door of the Xinzhiku, they found that the defenders of Dongzhimen had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and more than two hundred rebels had nowhere to escape. I couldn't defend it, so I could only fight hard with the sergeants of the Shanpo Battalion in the Xinzhi Library. The remaining nearly 100 thieves retreated into a warehouse in the Xinzhi Library, but under the full attack of the Shanpu Battalion, it was only a matter of time before they were completely annihilated. Just as the soldiers of the Shanpu battalion took advantage of the victory to chase and kill the thieves, they suddenly found that there was a fire in the direction of the Taihe Palace, and suddenly the army's heart was in turmoil, and the soldiers had no heart to fight, and they retreated in a panic.

"Bastard!" He Tie slashed to death a retreating soldier of the Shanpu Battalion, and shouted loudly: "Vice General Liu, you lead the men and horses of your headquarters to rush to the Taihe Hall immediately, control the situation, and no one is allowed to trespass into the harem without permission!" The others are on the same page as Lao Tzu. Fuck it! ”

"Wow!" Liu Chenglong, who was tall, replied loudly, beckoning his group of subordinates to hurry to the Taihe Palace, and the rest of the soldiers of the Shanpu Battalion finally stabilized their positions under He Tie's strict orders, and continued to launch a fierce attack on the thieves who occupied a warehouse in the Xinzhi Library, but because Vice General Liu took away more than 100 people, the manpower was a little insufficient, and he could not attack in a short time. The battle here is at a standstill for the time being......

Donghua Gate, since the arrival of the Ouchi guards led by Da Hongyang, the battle situation has also stalemate, and the two sides have fought hard for a pillar of incense for a long time, and no one can help anyone. Whether it is on the city gate, at the root of the city, or at the gate of the city, there are battlefields everywhere, and both sides in the bloody battle have their own losses, but in general, they have to be said. Although the Ouchi guards said that their martial arts were stronger, after all, the number of people was only a quarter of that of the other party, and with the continuous loss of manpower, this battle became more and more difficult to fight, and it was already a little tight. Suddenly, I heard a burst of shouts of "go to the water", and then saw a fire burning in the direction of the Taihe Palace, and my morale was suddenly frustrated, and I was so oppressed by the thieves that I couldn't help but retreat. Even loud shouts won't work. Seeing that the defeat was decided, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the Donghua Gate, and a new force was killed from behind the group of thieves, led by Prince Yi Yunxiang.

Yun Xiang is a general immediately, a battle formation kung fu all over the ground, a spear in his hand dances fast, the gun sees blood, and the tip of the gun can always bring a burst of blood. In the face of invincibility, he quickly killed the crowd, came to Hongyang's side, and shouted: "Hongyang, take your people to the Taihe Palace, and this place will be handed over to the thirteenth uncle!" ”

Carry forward the figure is tall and has good martial arts, but after all, he is still young. By this point, the battle had already been stained with blood. He couldn't tell whether it was his own blood or the blood of his enemies. At this moment, seeing that Yunxiang was coming, the torch light inserted on the city wall was bright, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then saw that the battlefield at this moment had been controlled by the reinforcements brought by Yunxiang, and he didn't dare to stay longer, and shouted: "The inner guards follow me and go to the Taihe Palace." "I took the lead in the direction of the Taihe Palace, and the two dozen surviving Ouchi guards hurriedly withdrew from the battle group and rushed to the place where the fire started.

Yunxiang brought reinforcements in the masters, more than 200 palace captains are all good at killing on the field, more than 100 "Honghu" children are even more extraordinary, but in a moment's time, the thieves who will commit will be killed, dead and wounded, the remaining fifty or sixty black-clothed masked people are besieged at the root of the city wall, and they have become fish in the net, but this group of masked people has always refused to put down their weapons and surrender, and they insist on fighting with Yunxiang's men and horses......

The Taihe Hall caught fire, and the entire outer court square was full of figures running around, a panic, fetching water, fighting fires, shouting and shouting, the whole square became a pot of porridge, and in this chaos, a small group of people dressed in eunuch clothes quietly took advantage of the chaos to sneak to the guards at the junction of the harem and the outer court.

"Leader Qin, why did you come here, what's going on outside?" A guard was in the guard's place, and the inner guard saw the eunuch Qin Ningyan, the leader of the Taihe Palace, leading a small eunuch to hurry over, and immediately asked.

"It's terrible, the Taihe Hall has gone to the water, a certain family is here to move the rescuers, your guards have a lot of people, hurry up and help put out the fire, if the fire burns again, the entire hall will be destroyed." Qin Ningyan said as he walked with a worried face.

"Leader Qin, now that it's fighting outside, the people from the guard office have already been sent out, how can anyone ......help here" Before the Ouchi guard's words were finished, he suddenly found that his throat was cold, and blood gushed out, choking all his words, his eyes glared at the boss, but he couldn't say half a word, and his hands grabbed for a while before he fell down unwillingly. The dozen or so eunuchs ignored the fallen Ouchi guard and rushed into the guard in a frenzy, but when they rushed into the guard's office, they found that the target that should have been here was gone, and there was no one in the huge guard's office. Just as the eunuch was panicking, there was a burst of laughter on the roof, and several tiles were uncovered, revealing a grinning face, this person was the elder brother of the prison country.

"Leader Qin didn't go to the fire and was busy putting out the fire, he ran to the guard office to do the business of killing people and stealing goods, hehe, it's really strange. Squatting on the roof, Hongli laughed and joked with Qin Ningyan, who had a worried look on his face.

"Big brother laughed, the slave is just here to move the rescuers, how can it, how can it ......" Qin Ningyan didn't finish speaking, and the person had already jumped up. Like a big bird, he swooped on the roof, trying to break through the roof and take down Hongli, his body was very fast, and he was obviously very strong in martial arts.

"Shoot!" Facing Qin Ningyan, who was jumping up frantically, Hongli didn't even change the smile on his face, he just said a word lightly, and in an instant, a large bag of white ash fell from the sky. Sprinkled towards Qin Ningyan with a hood, and before Qin Ningyan could close his eyes, dozens of hidden weapons immediately smashed down from the roof, and in an instant, Qin Ningyan, who had to bow his head and close his eyes because of avoiding the white ash, was beaten into a bloody man.

Seeing that things had changed, the little eunuchs below rushed towards the gate of the guard office in a panic, trying to escape from the door, but they soon found that in the short moment just now, the door of the guard office had been closed at some point. It was also locked, and everyone was trapped in the room......

Carry forward led the people to the square outside the Taihe Palace, and when he saw the messy scene, his face suddenly sank, and he summoned all the guards to his side. After a few words, I heard more than 20 internal guards shouting at the same time: "Everyone obeys the order, no unauthorized action, and everything obeys the command of the second elder brother." The leaders of the various departments, the eunuchs, and the officers of the Shanpu battalion are here at once! "The twenty inner guards are all full of energy, this time shouted at the same time, it was really a bit of a broken stone through the clouds, originally in the square like a headless fly scurrying around, people heard that the second elder brother came to take charge in person, and suddenly had the backbone, all stabilized, more than a dozen leaders of the various eunuchs and deputy general Liu of the Shanpu camp hurriedly ran to the side of Hongyang.

At this moment, the fire in the Taihe Hall gradually increased. The north side of the entire hall was full of fires, and the skyrocketing fire lit up half of the entire night sky, and the fire gradually showed signs of getting out of control. Yang Yang glanced at the fire and issued a series of orders in a loud voice, but when he saw that the chief eunuchs and the officers of the Shanpu battalion immediately took action, lined up in more than a dozen human chains, and relayed to fetch water, and buckets of water were continuously poured into the fire. More than half an hour later. The fire finally went down, and the main hall was destroyed. But I managed to save most of it.

The palace, which had been fighting fiercely for more than an hour, gradually quieted down, standing outside the Donghua Gate Wen Ruihe let out a long breath, left the window with a gloomy face, and walked out of the door silently, his heart was full of sadness - all the efforts were made, and in the end he still didn't wait for the signal of success, Wen Ruihe knew that success had left him, and there would never be any more chances.

The house is still the same house, the secret room is still the secret room, Prince Lian is still walking around there uncertainly, and he can't sit down - according to the plan, it should be the time for Wen Ruihe to come to report the good news, if Wen Ruihe has not appeared at this time, it means that it will end in failure, and Yun Xu's heart is full of fear.

"Lord Wang. Wen Ruihe, who quietly walked into the secret room, called softly, Yun Yu suddenly woke up, and he didn't care about his demeanor, he jumped to Wen Ruihe's side with a brisk step, and asked anxiously: "What's the matter, sir, what's going on?" ”

"Defeated. Wen Ruihe was silent for a long time, moved his lower lips and said softly.

"How so? How so? Yun Yu trembled like an electric shock and muttered. Wen Ruihe didn't explain much, walked to a chair and sat down, and looked at Yun Yu silently.

"Sir, what now? Sir, you have to teach the king. Yun Xu, who had been stunned for a while, asked anxiously.

"The prince doesn't have to be like this, those who do great things should have the consciousness of failure. Wen Ruihe smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Now, the prince has no chance, no more chance." ”

"Then ......" Yun Xi's body shook suddenly, and said in a trembling voice: "Sir, let's go, go to Jiangnan, this king still has a lot of foundation and connections there, and it's not impossible to fight against the sixth brother, you can't wait to be killed, right?" ”

"It's too late. Wen Ruihe shook his head with a pale face and said: "The prince doesn't have to worry about his own life, he won't kill the prince today, if he wants to kill the prince today, he would have killed him a long time ago, and he won't let the prince live until now, as for Wen Mou, he is tired, he has received great favor from the prince, but he has failed to help the prince to achieve great things, he is ashamed, he can only apologize for his sins with death, he has taken poison, everything is gone with the wind, take care of the prince!" Wen Ruihe's voice became weaker and weaker, and by the end it was inaudible, his head tilted, and his whole body fell limply from the chair, twitched a few times, and stopped moving.

"Sir. Mr. Yun Yu anxiously picked up Wen Ruihe and shook it vigorously, but he couldn't hear Wen Ruihe's answer anymore. Yun Yu hugged Wen Ruihe's gradually cooling body, tears in his eyes involuntarily flowed, and after a while of sadness, he put Wen Ruihe's body on the chair, bowed, and turned around and left the secret room gloomily.

It was late at night. The fierce battles in various parts of the capital have long since subsided, and there is not even a single figure on the street, and the people of the capital who have been terrified for most of the night have finally fallen asleep. However, Yun Yu did not sleep, and was meeting guests in a study.

"Mr. Cao, I've kept you waiting for a long time, and this king is very upset. Yun Xi has regained his former chic demeanor, shaking the folding fan lightly and said with a smile.

"The grass people don't dare. Cao Liangdong, who was dressed in Confucian clothes, replied very respectfully.

"Mr. Cao, you're welcome, huh. Do you know why this king invited Mr. here late at night? Yun Yu chuckled.

Cao Liangdong said calmly: "The grass people know a little bit about one or two. ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it. Yun Yu asked in some surprise.

"The prince called the grass people here at this time, presumably the prince was defeated, since the prince was defeated, there are some things that should be handled, and the prince will naturally have something to explain. Cao Liangdong replied calmly.

"Oh? Hahaha......" Yun Yu burst out laughing. After looking at Cao Liangdong with interest for a while, he said: "Yes, you are a smart person, this king has something to deal with, hmm." Tell me, what should it be? ”

"The grass people dare not speculate. Cao Liangdong shook his head and said.

"Hey, you know, I know you must know something, or you wouldn't be here. Yun Xi smiled and said: "This king is not the emperor, but he can control hundreds of officials, don't you think it's strange sir?" ”

Cao Liangdong just bowed down, and there was no interface. Sitting silently. Yun Yu also ignored Cao Zhidong's faux pas, smiled, and continued: "This king and Jinshang have always been at odds, if it were possible, Ben Wan's sixth brother would have slashed this king with a knife, hey, it's a pity that he can't, and he doesn't dare, but it's a pity that this king is still defeated at the bottom." Not. Defeat is defeat. This king does not shy away from saying that he failed, but this king is still unwilling. On demeanor and popularity, this king asked himself whether he should be above the sixth child, but it's a pity, it's a pity, this king has no chance. Hehe, it is said that Hongli is most similar to this king, this king is defeated, are you afraid of falling into the bottom of this king when you take refuge in Hongli? ”

Cao Liangdong replied calmly: "It's man-made." ”

"Hahaha...... Good, good, good! It's a good thing to be man-made, or this king will tell you a secret. Yun Yu laughed loudly, patted a large box placed beside him, and said with a smile: "All the secrets that this king can control hundreds of officials are in this box, don't you want to open it and take a look?" ”

Cao Quandongdi's pupils contracted suddenly, a pair of eyes stared at Yun Xu, and said word by word: "Hundred, official, file." ”

"Yes, yes, you're really smart, hehe, this is the Baiguan block. Yun Yu smiled and said: "If you are a person, you will have **, and if you have **, there will be action, as long as you have enough materials, there is really nothing in the world that is not hooked, as long as you have a handle in hand, what do you want those goods to do?" Hehe, this king has been doing this since he was young, and it has been twenty years, it's not easy, it's not easy! It's a pity that in the end, this king still fell short, this is the crime of God wanting to kill me, not a war! ”

Cao Liangdong listened silently, although his face was as calm as before, but the wrist holding the folding fan still couldn't help but tremble slightly, Yun Yu glanced at Cao Liangdong's hand, and it didn't break it, but said with a smile: "There are many people who are resourceful in this world, and there are many people who have courage, but there are very few people who have both wisdom and courage, you are good, you can still calm down now, hehe, this king admires you very much, well, let's talk about it, should this king hand over this hundred official files to Hongli?" ”

"The prince will hand over the land. Cao Liangdong shook his fan and said.

"Oh? Why? ”

Cao Liangdong glanced at Yun Yu and said: "The prince lost to Jinshang, after this defeat, the prince will never come out again, but the prince will never be willing, so the prince will definitely find something to make Jinshang have a headache, therefore, the prince will definitely pass this thing." ”

"Uh-huh, go on. Yun Yu said with an encouraging face.

"This thing is very human, and the people who can be qualified to accept this thing are nothing more than the eldest brother and Prince Yong, not to mention the eldest brother, and not to talk about the discord between the prince and the fourth master, just say that the fourth master can fight with this thing? I'm afraid it's impossible, and like this, it's better to hand it over to the eldest brother, and the prince can watch the play in the second half of his life. ”

"Well said, haha, well said, take it. Yun Yu caressed the box and waved his hand.

"Thank you. Cao Liangdong was not polite, and struggled to pick up the box with a small volume, and went out leisurely. Yun Yu looked at Cao Liangdong's crooked body, and after laughing loudly for a while, he muttered: "Interesting, hehe, I've been acting in a local drama all my life, and it's time for us to watch the play." ”
