When Wen Ruyu and Mai Tiezhu led their troops to kill the rebels in the imperial city, they were sworn to resist.

Everyone understands that participating in this rebellion is destined to have no good ending, even if you give up resisting now and turn back, you will be killed, it is better to fight before dying.

Anguo Gongcao Mansion.

The lights in Dongwan were finally lit, and under the dim light and shadow, everyone's faces were as white as corpses.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Zhi reacted so quickly, he should have planned in advance, and transferred so many armored warriors from the Nanda Battalion.

Zhao Min's mood was very low, and he was in high spirits from a few hours ago, and he was like two people.

He already had a premonition that he was going to fail completely.

The dignified horse master, why did he get on the thief ship of Cao Mansion?

This goes back to his grandfather and father's generation.

Back then, Cao Qichang's father saved Zhao Min's grandfather's life on the battlefield, and the two became brothers and friends of life and death.

Zhao Min's father, Zhao Shijun, is now the head of the Imperial Youzhou Dao Soldiers and Horses, and the history of Youzhou Thorn, from a first-class martial arts.

Zhao Shijun and Cao Qichang are also brothers.

The marriage between Zhao Min and Princess Xiangguo is the result of Cao Qichang's matchmaking, and he is now the general of Tunwei, with a three-rank military position.

Because of the inextricable special relationship between the Zhao family and the Cao family, the crown prince Yuanzhi naturally did not want to see this uncle.

Yuan Zhi will succeed to the throne in the future, and the Zhao family, like the Cao family, must be one of the wealthy families that have been cleaned up.

Zhao Shijun is nothing, from a first-class military marquis to the feudal official, the age is also more than half of his fifties, and his life is glorious and rich.

But Zhao Min doesn't think so, he is ambitious, especially now that he is a concubine, he is only thirty-six years old, will he retire early in a few years?

Cao Qichang promised him that as long as King Jin succeeded to the throne, he would be the first to take the position of Grand Sima of the Military Hall in the future.

This condition is very tempting, and Cao Yanchun has always been yearning for the position of Da Sima.

In order to win over Zhao Min, Cao Qichang promised him this nephew.

In this mutiny, Zhao Min contributed a lot of troops, the deployment of troops on the front line in northern and western Xinjiang, the logistics of combat power, and the adjustment and revision of Wen Ruyu's military hall were all from his handwriting.

But people are not as good as heaven, and they have become losers after all.

Could it be that Yuan Zhi is the true dragon emperor?

Although the army is a machine of state rule, these generals are not machines, they have flesh and blood, feelings, interests to choose, loyalty and fear.

At this time, it is necessary to see the situation clearly and understand to whom to be allegiant.

After more than half an hour, the battle inside and outside the imperial city was nearing its end, and blood splattered the glorious imperial city with golden walls, dyed red, and the smell of blood was in the nose.

The Imperial City's Cabinet Hall was the last stronghold of the rebels.

When Wen Ruyu led his troops to attack the main hall of the council hall, there were more than 100 warriors here, making a final fight.

Boom...

The piercing sound of knives rang out, accompanied by the shouts of the soldiers, and the mournful howls before death, a cruel and bloody place.

In the boundless slaughter, the armor soldiers on both sides fell one after another, and those young faces became the souls of the swords.

A palace change, the imperial men who used to be in the same camp are now life and death.

"The general trend is gone."

The left servant, who had not squeaked, shot Yang Du and sighed decadently, with a kind of powerlessness and unwillingness.

Zhao Min slammed and sat on the ground, stiff, his forehead full of cold sweat.

They know very well what it means to fail.

Although everyone was prepared in their hearts before the mutiny, they still couldn't face it when they really needed to accept it.

"You better go back separately, Dugu City will send you out from the secret passage, it's a big trouble to go out late, as for how to say and do the aftermath, think about it separately, the key is to have the same caliber, so that we won't be defeated."

Cao Qichang finally spoke.

In the dim light, he also looked pale and weak.

……

Imperial.

After a day and night of hard work by more than 10,000 palace guards, eunuchs and palace maids, thousands of corpses were removed, and the blood-stained snow was removed.

The authentic steps and other places, including the Shishi city wall and other places, have been washed clean, and flowers such as plum blossoms, longevity flowers, crab claw orchids, rhododendrons, and fragrant snow orchids have been placed around the corridor to cover up the bloody wind and rain in the past.

In the early morning, the gates of the imperial city such as Zhengyang Gate and Xuanwu Gate were opened as scheduled.

Under the escort of many thousand cow guards, Prince Luan entered from Zhengyang Gate and went straight to Daming Palace.

In the Xuanzheng Palace, all the civil and military officials went to court.

There is no shortage of ministers who have been sent abroad, or who have ordered arrests.

Cao Qichang, Yang Du and several other ministers who had endured all night had their eyes swollen like fish bubbles, but they still came to the scene with strong spirits.

In any case, you have to go to court, otherwise you will be a thief with a weak heart, and there is no silver three hundred taels here.

A sharp chant came from outside the hall: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived..."

"Meet His Royal Highness the Prince, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose." All the people in the palace bowed down as usual.

Yuan Zhi also stayed awake all night, and his eyes were bloodshot.

He glanced at the ministers, and finally his eyes fell on Cao Qichang, with a murderous aura in his eyes.

"All the ministers have risen and spoke!" He cleared his throat and said aloud:

"In the more than 40 years since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, there have been natural disasters and man-made disasters, there have been prosperity and decline, the cycle goes back and forth, it is for the way of heaven and conforms to nature, but no one has ever dared to lead troops into the capital!"

Yuan Zhi's eyes are like torches, and the sound is like a bell.

"Fabricating the holy decree, first doing something to clear the monarch's side, and then saying that the old prince was deposed and the new prince was established, intending to rebel and usurp the throne."

Speaking of which, his volume was even higher, enough to make this silent Xuanzheng Hall hum and echo.

"For so many years, no one has dared to raise an army to rebel under this banner, because I will eventually enter the empire and establish the country by force! Govern the country with filial piety! ”

"Taizu was prosperous, swept the barbarians, unified the north and the south, returned to Langlang, returned the people to peace, and the people were all proud of being the people of the Jin Dynasty! Sergeants are proud to serve their country! ”

"But just last night, there was a bold dog who wanted to rebel, mutilate His Majesty, and spy on Sheji, which is really an unforgivable crime!"

As soon as he said this, the great eunuch in front of the Zichen Palace hurriedly walked over and whispered in Yuan Zhi's ear: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty has woken up and said that he wants to see you immediately." ”

The emperor summoned, then everything had to be put down, even if you were and peeing, you had to immediately lift your pants and run over to meet you.

Yuan Zhi nodded and said to everyone:

"The emperor summoned Lone, today's court meeting ends here, the secretaries will go back to their respective yamen to do serious errands, as long as you are not involved in the rebellion, your heart can be put in your stomach, and Lone will never wronged the loyal ministers and filial sons."

After speaking, Yuan Zhi followed the great eunuch in front of the emperor from the side corridor to the heavily guarded Zichen Palace.

"The sons of the emperor please father, there was some commotion outside last night, disturbing Your Majesty's rest, the sons of the emperor feel incompetent, filial piety and uneasy, please punish the father."

Yuan Zhi knelt on his knees and said very guiltily.

"Zhi'er, get up and speak."

Although Emperor Jiye Yuanren was paralyzed, his mind was still clear, and his speech was very slow, but he was quite fluent.
