Chapter 178: Kidnapping the Son of Heaven

When the prince chased to the big iron gate of the cave where the grass was planted in the back mountain, he saw that the gate was closed, and the emperor and his party had already fled in.

The black-turbaned monk Ma Yuan said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, this door has been engraved by a master, and we can't break through it in a short time, and this door can only be opened from the inside out." ”

When Cui Yan heard this, he led the crowd out and said, "Don't be impatient, you will find a way to break this door, and the old man will come to persuade His Majesty to open the door." ”

Cui Yan stepped forward and shouted inside: "Your Majesty, there is an old minister outside the door, do you hear me?" ”

After a while, a voice came from inside the door: "I'm Huo Zheng, Cui Xiang, are you okay outside?" We didn't expect you to be old and old, and we didn't find you when we came in. ”

Cui Yan said: "Prime Minister Huo, don't worry, I'm very good, please return to Your Majesty on your behalf, the old minister has persuaded His Royal Highness the Crown Prince along the way, there are many misunderstandings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also deceived before he had to make this decision, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been pulled by the old minister to take the blame, please open the door of Your Majesty, let His Royal Highness the Prince ask for guilt in front of His Majesty." ”

Qin and Liu looked at each other, and sighed in their hearts, Jiang is still old and spicy, so he will deceive the door first.

For a long time, there was still silence in the door, and at this time, Cui Yan stepped forward and loudly explained the causes and consequences of why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince raised troops......

After speaking, Cui Yan shouted: "Your Majesty, there are too many misunderstandings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already known that he was wrong, and now he is kneeling in front of the iron gate to plead guilty!" ”

Cui Yan glanced back, and the prince hurriedly stepped forward and knelt in front of the gate, crying to the door: "Your Majesty, there is a son outside the door, and the son knows that he is wrong, and the son is also mistaken for His Majesty's funeral...... thought that Prime Minister Huo Cheng and others were secretly mourning and wanted to abolish the position of the prince of Erchen, so Erchen had to make this decision, Your Majesty, Erchen was waiting for His Majesty to fall outside the door. ”

At this time, in the cave inside the door, everyone's faces were cloudy and uncertain by the firelight, especially when Huo Zheng heard that the prince actually thought that he was not mourning secretly, and wanted to abolish the position of the prince? Don't you dare to give him ten dog dares? The people of the East Palace really dare to think about it.

But then again, the prince's party is facing the kind of environment and predicament before, and it is really helpless to think about it, think about it from another perspective, if he Huo Zheng is facing that kind of situation, he will also think crookedly, who made His Majesty have to practice this art of immortality? I haven't heard from me for more than a year, and everyone will think about it.

But now that this situation is in place, you can't be lazy with the emperor, right? In the end, it will be up to them to take the blame, no matter whether the prince's rebellion is intentional or unintentional this time, the prince's position will definitely not be kept.

When the emperor heard this, he turned his head and asked Huo Zheng: "Huo Aiqing, what do you think of the resignation of the prince and Cui Yan?" ”

Huo Zheng pondered the wording and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what the prince and Cui Xiangguo said may indeed have a reason, and they can't be unbelievable, and they can't be fully believed, but His Royal Highness the Prince, no matter what the reason, is disloyal and unfilial to His Majesty, Weichen thinks that the situation is unclear now, we can't open the door, we have few people, and it is not clear whether the other party's intentions are beneficial to us, and Weichen thinks that it is better to wait for Captain Cheng to come to the aid with the soldiers of the North Battalion, and it is not too late for us to go out again." ”

Huo Zheng's last sentence means that if the prince and Cui Yan don't get along, the net will be broken, and during the insurance period, don't open the door......

The emperor turned his head and looked at Gonggong Lu again, and asked his opinion, and Lu Liang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Xiangguo is old and serious, and the old slave also means this." ”

The emperor nodded in agreement with Huo Zheng's opinion.

In this way, the two sides are separated by an iron gate, you come and go, each has its own words, the prince and Cui Yan are good, anyway, the inside just doesn't open the door, at this time, there is a shout of killing outside the palace, and the prince seems to be a little flustered.

At this time, a soldier ran to the prince covered in blood and said, "His Royal Highness the prince is not good, the Beiying army has been killed in the palace, and many of our brothers have been scattered......"

At this time, Cui Yan was also anxious, and shouted through the big iron gate: "Hey! Your Majesty! Your Majesty, how come your holy candlelight is still not able to break this life-and-death barrier? The old minister is more than seventy this year, a very human minister, has assisted the emperor and His Majesty, the old minister feels that there are no regrets in this life, even if he dies now, there is no regret, but I see that your wise Shenwu led the Jin Kingdom to sweep away Liuhe, and under the unification, but now he is actually bewitched by the demon girl, trying to live forever. ”

"Your Majesty, people are inherently dead, why are you so persistent? With Your Majesty's martial arts, you can shine forever, why do you refuse to let go, Your Majesty? I have persuaded His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, as long as Your Majesty opens the iron gate, we are still Your Majesty's loyal courtiers, Your Majesty! Please open the door! ”

At this time, the prince's eyes flashed with madness, and he shouted: "It's too late, give me siege equipment, and you must open this iron gate for me today." ”

He turned his head and glanced at the three monks led by Ma Yuan, and said, "Teachers, you also go up, even if you smash it hard, you have to smash this iron gate for Lone." ”

The three monks received the order and sacrificed their magic weapons to blast towards the iron gate.

Cui Yan's words, before the words fell, at this time the iron gate began to shake violently, everyone in the cave understood, the prince outside the door was anxious, and went directly to the siege equipment, just now he was convinced of the attitude of admitting his mistakes, and now he immediately began to storm the iron gate, doesn't this make it clear that he just talked so much nonsense, in fact, he just wanted to deceive the iron gate and hold the emperor hostage?

Everyone vaguely saw His Majesty sitting in a wooden wheelchair with a pig's liver color, and then they began to cough violently, and suddenly their heads tilted and coughed up black blood, Lu Liang and Huo Zheng were shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to check, the emperor must not have an accident at this critical moment......

At this time, the patriarch Ahlami who was escorting the left and right also stepped forward to inject a lot of spiritual energy into the emperor's body to heal internal injuries, and the emperor finally looked better, and exhaled a breath and said to Ahlamita:

"Thank you Patriarch, if I can escape this catastrophe, I will personally conquer this so-called Taisha Kingdom and help the Patriarch restore the country."

At this time, Ahelami said softly to the emperor: "Your Majesty, in the future, you must take care of the dragon body now, Your Majesty is still two miles away from going out, you must not be emotional, even after leaving the customs, you must not be overjoyed and sad, this will seriously damage Your Majesty's meridians, and the effect of the Pantheon will be greatly reduced......"

The emperor said helplessly: "Great patriarch, please rest assured, I know ......"

The emperor was depressed in his heart, could he not be angry in this situation! Cui Yan, the old thief, didn't even hesitate to get together with the prince, just now, it was obvious that he wanted to deceive the door and hold the son hostage, and he had just woken up and was betrayed by the most trusted prince and the minister, and his lungs were about to explode.

The emperor coughed lightly a few times, his face seemed to be much better, and Gonggong Lu hurriedly helped the emperor to slowly rub the emperor's back to relieve him.

At this time, in the extreme palace, Gongzi Xiu was three hundred dead soldiers and cooperated with the Chengpu Northern Army to kill all the way to the inner palace, and the tens of thousands of rabble of the prince only cared about burning, killing and looting.

Mu Sheng, who was hiding in the side hall, saw that the northern army was coming to the palace, knowing that the situation was clear, and seeing that Gongzi Xiu was also leading hundreds of guests to quell the rebellion in the northern army, he moved in his heart, and simply showed up to join the counterinsurgency team of the northern army.

When Gongzi Xiu saw Mu Sheng suddenly appear, his heart moved, and sure enough, this son was secretly summoned into the palace, it seems that the rumors may be true, but I don't know how he escaped the search of the prince's rebels.

After Gongzi Xiu and Mu Sheng Erru signaled, Mu Sheng stepped forward and said to Cheng Pu, the commander of the Northern Army, and said: "General Cheng, the rebels are attacking the back mountain at this time, Your Majesty is there, let's go to support quickly." ”

When Cheng Pu heard this, he didn't talk nonsense, and waved his hand and ordered: "Sons, follow me to save the car." ”

Tens of thousands of horses and horses of the northern army slaughtered towards the back mountain.

At this time, in the mountain behind the Taiji Palace, thousands of men and horses under the command of the prince were still operating various engineering equipment to attack the cave, at this time, the big iron gate on the left was half tossed by this, and finally fell down with a bang, and the prince's party rushed into the cave, only to see more than 300 lieutenants and more than 100 warriors of the three-eyed clan waiting for them.

The crown prince, Qin Shao, Guo Huan and others led the dead soldiers to finally attack the cave, but they saw an incredible scene, the emperor sat on a wooden wheelchair, his face looked like a zombie, half dead, surrounded by civil and military officials, surrounded by hundreds of elite guards wearing heavy armor, all with bows and arrows and guns out of the sheath.

The crown prince, Qin and Liu looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do next for a while, only to see the emperor sitting in the middle directly open his mouth and scolded: "Mu Bai, you rebel son who has no king and no father, do you want to kill the king?" ”

The prince was stunned on the spot with his sword in his hand, and Huo Zheng, the prime minister of the left, pointed at the prince and roared angrily: "Prince, what are you going to do?" Your Majesty will not put down your sword and surrender quickly. ”

The right prime minister, Cui Yan's complexion changed slightly, and he yelled at the prince beside him: "Your Majesty has a demon girl bewitching the sacred heart, and Huo Zheng's traitors are sowing discord between the prince and His Majesty's father-son relationship. Qingjun side! ”

Huo Zheng and other court ministers saw that Cui Yan, the old thief, had turned them all into traitors, and the pot was already firmly buckled on them, and their faces turned pale with anger.

When the emperor heard this, he was trembling with anger while sitting in a wheelchair, and he didn't even come out with a complete sentence, and when the patriarch saw this, his complexion changed slightly, and he immediately sent spiritual energy to the emperor's body, which made the emperor's face look much better.

Cui Yan's "Qingjun side" was like a hammer hitting the prince's heart, and it also woke up the prince's party.

The crown prince stared at the inhuman-like emperor, raised his sword tremblingly, and slowly uttered three words: "Qingjun side ......"

As if these three words had exhausted all the strength of the prince, the prince knew that he had no way out and could only make a mistake to the end.

Qin, Liu and other Taidang members roared angrily: "Kill the traitors, Qingjun's side, brothers." ”

They also understood that if they didn't work hard at this time, they wouldn't even have a chance to fight hard in the future, and the prince's party was like a beast out of the cage, shouting and rushing towards the elite lieutenant army.

Huo Zheng saw that the emperor was angry again, so he had no choice but to take matters into his own hands and roar angrily: "The time has come for the soldiers to be loyal to Your Majesty, and the support of the Northern Army will arrive immediately. ”

The lieutenant army heard that the morale of the army was greatly increased, and they also roared and rushed to the prince's party, although the princelings were numerous, but crowded in this narrow cave, the number advantage of the prince's party could not be expanded, so they could only charge forward hard, the sound of swords and swords fighting in the cave was bursting, and no one could help anyone for a while, the great patriarch was tightly guarding the emperor's side, and the lieutenant army and the three-eyed warriors and princelings fought together.

After a cup of tea, the prince also personally led the charge of the team, and it was about to break through the lieutenant's army.

At this time, a voice came from behind thousands of rebels: "Your Majesty, Cheng Pu's rescue is late, the sons and daughters will kill me, and none of these rebellious parties who have committed rebellion can escape......

When the prince heard this, he was shocked, the prince's party was attacked by the enemy, and their morale was already low, and in the cave, the lieutenant army heard that the support had arrived, and they were all in high spirits, roaring and rushing to the prince's dead soldiers, and the prince's party was defeated and retreated, and anyone could see that the prince's defeat was decided......
