November 29, the 17th year of Jiading, the second watch, Lin'an City.

Outside Chaotian Gate, in front of Xinyi Fang, in a two-story wooden building on the east side of Yujie, it was pitch black, and only the moonlight shining in from the window gaps made the house a little bright.

A man stood on either side of the window, looking out from time to time, cautiously.

At a square table in the middle of the room, Tian Yi and Zhang San sat opposite each other, both slowly drinking tea in the dark without saying a word.

Inside the room, outside the room, and in the corridor and courtyard, there were men in black clothes everywhere, each holding a sharp sword, standing solemnly, and there were also one or twenty people.

In fact, they've been staying here for the past few days, dormant and waiting in case they need it.

This house is owned by Zhou Ping's uncle, who rented it a few months ago, and it was also a rainy day, and now it finally comes in handy.

And these men in black clothes, in addition to the family members of the Zhou Mansion, there are also Zhang San's brothers in life and death. They entered in batches, naturally just in case, ready to play with their lives at any time.

There was a "creak", the door was pushed open, and a man came in and whispered to the table.

"Third brother, Cheng Jue, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, has entered the palace in a hurry."

"Got it, keep looking."

Zhang San nodded, waved his hand, and the man retreated.

"Cheng Jue is a straight bachelor and a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and he is familiar with the rules and regulations of the palace. It seems that the official family has gone, and Cheng Jue is going to draft the will. ”

In the dark, Tian Yi whispered.

Zhang San nodded, speechless.

Today, his eyelids have been jumping, and he can't imagine that the big event that has changed has happened.

"Third brother, Empress Yang's two nephews, Yang Gu and Yang Shi, have also entered the palace."

Soon, another man came in to report.

"This is to persuade Empress Yang. The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings! ”

In the dark, Tian Yi said faintly and sighed softly.

Sure enough, everything was as Zhao Hong expected. The official family died, and all kinds of ghosts and ghosts appeared one after another, just for the throne of the Son of Heaven and fame and wealth.

Sure enough, people's hearts are selfish, and the emperor is unpredictable of the prophet, so that the five bodies that he admires are thrown to the ground.

Zhang San remained silent, and the man quietly retreated.

Silence returned to the room.

Empress Yang's two nephews, Yang Gu and Yang Shi, entered the palace, proving that Shi Miyuan was already dredged up order in the palace. Once Empress Yang and Shi Miyuan collude inside and outside, Zhao Hong's situation can be described as dangerous.

In the dark, Tian Yi's heart was heavy and depressed.

I don't know, what is Zhao Hong doing now?

Also, at the main gate of Li, Zhou Ping is hibernating, I don't know if anything has happened?

"The third brother, Zheng Shichang, the son of Zheng Qingzhi, was dressed up in disguise and went to the Yiwang Mansion with a green carriage. followed Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yi, out of the mansion, got into the carriage, was protected by a group of forbidden soldiers, and went straight to the palace! ”

It didn't take long for another man to push the door in and say softly to Zhang San and Tian Yi.

"What to do? Do you want to kill Zhao Guicheng? ”

Zhang San finally spoke, and immediately sat up straight.

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as Zhao Hong's estimate, Shi Miyuan wanted to "change the tanuki for the prince", and Li Daitao stiffened.

Kill Zhao Guicheng, it's a hundred, Shi Miyuan wants to change people, I'm afraid it's too late.

"Zhao Guicheng entered the palace and was heavily escorted. There are only a dozen of us, and no matter whether we can succeed or not, it is very likely that Shi Miyuan will jump over the wall in a hurry and transfer heavy troops into the city. At that time, His Highness will have no chance to fight back. ”

Tian Yi said softly, his tone a little hurried in the dark.

"Da Lang, with these "grenades" in your hands and me, it shouldn't be difficult to attack and kill Zhao Guicheng. The official family died and killed Zhao Guicheng, Shi Miyuan had no chance to set up a new monarch, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince successfully ascended the throne, and great things could be done! ”

Zhang San said first, for fear that the night would be long and dreamy, so he refused to let go of this opportunity.

"Zhang San, it's only the second watch now, even if you can kill Zhao Guicheng, Shi Miyuan knows, and when you see it, you will definitely send heavy troops into the city, and you will definitely splash this dirty water on Your Highness. At that time, the forbidden army was around, and under the swords and guns, His Highness couldn't say clearly if he had a mouth. Not to mention ......"

Tian Yi pointed out the window and shook his head slightly.

"Zhao Guicheng has the protection of the forbidden army of the front division of the palace, plus the cover of the sky, he has a great chance to escape. His Royal Highness has said that unless the brigade forbids the army to enter the city, he will deal with the affairs of the palace. Let's not startle the snake. ”

Tian Yi's words made Zhang San nod.

Zhao Hong expected that the enemy was everywhere, and the palace must have already made a layout. At this time, it is still in accordance with Zhao Hong's layout, and prudence is the best.

As long as there is no brigade forbidden to enter the city, it is not in their consideration or the like. They just need to smoothly transmit the news from outside the palace to the palace.

I don't know how long it took, but the sound of the watch outside came, and it turned out to be the fourth watch.

"Third brother, eunuchs have been sent out in the imperial city, and they are all ministers of the court, the two governments, the servants of various ministries, etc., it seems that something seems to have happened in the palace."

Another man came in to report it, and he was in a hurry, sweating profusely.

"Let's go down!"

Zhang San stood up, walked to the window, and looked out.

"Third brother, Shi Miyuan ordered Huang Yan to go out of the city and lead the troops to be stationed outside the city. Gao Hu and they had no choice but to say that people and Huang Yan were all wiped out. Du San and Fang Hai came back, and Gao Hu was still squatting in place. ”

Another man came in to report, which surprised Zhang San and the others.

Sure enough, Shi Miyuan left a hand.

"How is Xia Gui over there?"

"Xia Gui is outside the city, the city gate has not been opened, and I haven't heard from the city yet."

Zhang San nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Go back and tell Gao Hu to continue squatting. There will be results here quickly, let him wait for news. ”

"Da Lang, the ministers are about to go to court, what should I do?"

The man went down to give the order, Zhang San turned around and looked at Tian Yi.

Although Zhao Hong is strategic, he doesn't necessarily know everything that's going on outside.

"These news outside the palace must be known to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so that he can make decisions."

Tian Yi stood up and carefully advised.

"Zhang San, you continue to lie dormant here, I'm waiting for Zhen Dexiu and Wei Liaoweng and other ministers to come over in Yujie. If after dawn, there is really a large army forbidden to enter the city, and the only way to act is to see the opportunity, maybe you can only fight for your life. ”

If this is the case, they have no way to live, and Zhao Hong is also in a catastrophe, so it's a hundred.

"Da Lang, don't worry. Your Highness treats me with great kindness, and if there is really a large army forbidden to enter the city, I will live up to Your Highness. ”

Zhang San's voice was calm and calm.

"Zhang San, you are good, Your Highness did not mistake you!"

Tian Yi nodded, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhang San.

"Da Lang, if something happens to me, my second brother will entrust it to you. Also, my name is Zhang Zhengsi. Please. ”

"If something happens, let's brothers lose their heads together. Your second brother, as well as my parents, please leave it to His Royal Highness the Prince! As for your name, you should tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in person. ”

Tian Yi patted Zhang San on the shoulder, opened the door and left.

"Third brother, if there is a large army entering the city, do we really want to do this?"

Tian Yi left, and Wang Gui on the side came up and asked in a low voice.

If it is true that the former division of the palace forbids the army to fight and fights on the streets, then it will be an open enemy of Shi Miyuan.

"Wang Gui, brother, I have lived for so many years, I haven't seen anyone's face, only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks up to me and treats me as a human being. If a soldier dies for a confidant, my rotten life has long been his. ”

Zhang San said softly, his tone gentle.

"Wang Gui, Du Er, if you want to leave, brother, I will never stop you. If my brother and I die, every Qingming Festival, you can put incense on my brother. ”

Zhang San smiled slightly, walked to the window, and looked out, which was the direction of the palace.

"Third brother, what do you think of me? If I leave you and run away, am I still a human being? ”

Wang Gui blushed unconsciously, and his voice became louder.

"That's it! Third brother, you also underestimate our brothers! The head is off, but the bowl has a big scar! If you drive me away today, I won't leave! ”

Du Er was also red-faced, twisting his neck and saying.

"It's best to have a calm mood for the next two or three hours, in this way, it will indicate that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will successfully ascend the throne, and the good days for you and my brother will come!"

While speaking, Zhang San looked out the window carefully. It was dark outside, and that was the direction of the palace.

"Third brother, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, can you ascend the throne smoothly?"

Du Er couldn't help it, and asked cautiously while looking out the window.

Wang Gui also pricked up his ears.

"Everything that happened in the palace today was expected by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhang San drank tea slowly, thought about it, and said.

Shi Miyuan called Cheng Jue and Yang Gu into the palace, but he did not call the two governments and Liang Chengda and Zhao Rushu These henchmen, obviously afraid of leaking the news, to create the established facts, and help Zhao Guicheng to take the throne. It's ......"

"With what?"

Wang Gui and Du Er turned their heads together and asked in unison.

"Gao Hu killed Huang Yan, there should be no forbidden army entering the city before dawn. There's a good chance we're not going to play with the Forbidden Army. ”

Zhang San said slowly, and Wang Gui and Du Er were both relieved.

"Third brother, it's better not to play with your life. The brothers didn't even ask for a lady, but they didn't want to die early. It's not worth it! ”

"Yes! Brother, I am still waiting to enjoy happiness with the third brother, I died too early, but I will lose a lot! ”

Wang Gui and Du Er said it one after the other.

"Don't sell your mouth! Look ahead! It's time to play with your life! ”

Zhang San's face changed and he admonished.

"Yes, Third Brother!"

Wang Gui and the others quickly shut up, Zhang San put down the teacup, stood up, and paced slowly in the room.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a little restless, and time passed too slowly.

As the night passed, Tian Yi waited anxiously on the side of the street, until his subordinates hurriedly stepped forward to report, and then hurriedly greeted a sedan chair that came over.

"Tian Yi has seen Wei Shilang!"

Tian Yi bowed to Wei Liaoweng's sedan chair.

He didn't dare to wait for Zhen Dexiu any longer. If you miss it, you'll have a big game.

"Tian Yi, why are you? It's early in the morning, what are you looking for the old man? ”

Wei Liaoweng lifted the sedan curtain and asked in surprise.

Tian Yi was once an official of the Ordnance Institute, and his relationship with Zhao Hong was well known to both the government and the opposition, and Wei Liaoweng was no exception. Tian Yi saw him blindly, and he didn't know what was going on?

"Wei Xianggong, the stakes are very high, the villain has something to say, he has to say it to Wei Xianggong alone!"

Tian Yi said softly, Wei Liaoweng looked around, nodded slightly, got off the sedan chair and walked to the side of the road with Tian Yi.

The emperor was seriously ill, and the palace summoned all the ministers into the palace to discuss matters, but he always felt a little sudden. Tian Yi intercepted halfway, I'm afraid there is a reason for it.

The key is that Tian Yi is Zhao Hong's sworn friend, and he believes in Tian Yi.

"Wei Xianggong, that's ......"

Tian Yi whispered softly, Wei Liaoweng was stunned, half-convinced, and unconsciously sweating.

The Emperor has made a big move! Zhao Guicheng and the Yang brothers enter the palace!

Shi Miyuan, this bastard, must be making waves again.

But although he is a squire in the military department, he has no right to transfer troops. If you act hastily, you may be caught by surprise.

"Tian Yi, are these things you said true?"

Wei Liaoweng was suspicious, and looked Tian Yi up and down.

"Wei Xianggong, you don't need to worry. After entering the palace, you only need to bring these words to His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Tian Yi said goodbye and left, Wei Liaoweng looked at his back for a moment, turned around and got into the sedan chair, and hurriedly urged.

"Quick, enter the palace!"

This kind of earth-shattering event must be known to Zhao Hong as soon as possible.
