No matter how weak the Yue Kingdom is, a palace is difficult for ordinary people to approach, Qin Hui walked through the quaint blue brick courtyard wall, passed by a team of patrolling soldiers, approached the gate of the mansion, patted the heads of the two stone lions crawling with moss at the door, and stepped on the stone steps with a smile.

There are soldiers on both sides of the door, and the carving of gold lacquer smeared on the plaque above the door shows the three words "Chongwangfu".

"This is the palace, do you have a name?" The guards at the door saw the old man who stepped forward, his robe was ordinary, but the whole person had a calm and majestic momentum, and he didn't dare to show the posture of looking down on people in the past.

"You can go in and inform your family of King Chong, and say that your old friend Qin will visit."

The guard glanced at the scholar in front of him, as if he was looking, invited the other party to sit down at the concierge for a while, and hurried to the front yard of the mansion to find the steward to report.

At this time, the north courtyard, there are still two miles away from this side, there are not only strange flowers and stones in the courtyard, but also a spacious martial arts training ground, four weapon racks are placed around, and the opposite direction is a three-story attic, the cyan tiles, the high upturned owl kiss, the empty fence of the carved dragon and the phoenix, showing a rare luxury of ordinary people.

In the middle of the building, the teacup fell to the ground.

"Why are you leaving me alone to go back to the fiefdom?!"

Meng Jintai is tall and burly, among the brothers, he is very oppressive, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he is higher than the martial arts of his eldest brother Meng Zhuowen.

When he became an adult, he even personally led the soldiers and horses to suppress the rebellion, and put it among the rest of the brothers, which belonged to the outstanding military achievements, the only drawback is that he is impatient, impulsive, and likes to use his hands instead of his brain, and he has not been very popular with courtiers, but most of the soldiers and generals in the army support him.

When the crown prince Meng Zhuowen was still there, the king didn't have any thoughts, once during the New Year's Festival, a group of brothers from the fiefdom into Beijing to reunite, the banquet was drunk, he also said that in the future, Meng Zhuowen became the emperor, he gave the eldest brother a general, for him to sweep away the disobedient, which made Meng Zhuowen laugh and drank a few glasses of wine.

It can be seen that this Chongwang is extremely respectful and protective of his eldest brother.

At this time, in the hall, there are several civil and military gatherings, it is the few courtiers after the retreat from the dynasty, four of the five people are military generals, although they are generals, but there is no imperial order to go out to fight, there is no military power in their hands, only the personal soldiers who can be mobilized, and the private soldiers quietly raised at home, all add up to no more than a thousand.

Today's emperor asked Meng Jintai to return to the fief like this, and they were not allowed to leave the fief without edicts, which made them feel very anxious.

It may even be liquidated.

"What's the use of you looking at me?! Can I still influence my father's will? ”

Meng Jintai walked back and forth seven or eight steps, thinking of many possibilities, all of which were thrown out of his mind, and he was still at a loss at the moment, because he was going to leave Beijing and leave the city tomorrow.

In the midst of the silence of the crowd, the voice of the steward came from outside.

"Your Highness!"

"What?"

Meng Jintai raised his gaze and looked at the old steward of the mansion who bowed at the door, and the latter hurriedly said: "There is a person outside, he claims to be an old friend of His Royal Highness, called Qin Huizhi." ”

"Qin Huizhi...... Mr. Qin! ”

Meng Jintai's eyes lit up instantly, and he hurriedly got up: "Let Mr. Qin come in...... Forget it, I'm going to greet you! With that, Meng Jintai hurriedly rushed out of the attic and led the five generals and ministers to the gate of the mansion, and the latter five were also quite curious about when His Royal Highness had a gentleman.

When I arrived at the gate of the front yard, I saw an old man sitting on the side of the gatehouse, with gray hair, neatly combed, black robes on his body, and a serious expression.

"Mr. Qin!" When Meng Jintai saw the figure sitting there, he was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward and gave his hand.

"Fourth Highness!"

Qin Hui got up and politely returned the salute, and after a few words of greeting with the other party, he was invited by the fourth prince and His Royal Highness King Chong to go to the north courtyard just now, after all, that is the real place to talk about things.

At the door of the attic, Meng Jintai pushed Qin Hui to sit down at the top of the side, and arched his hand with a sincere and serious expression: "Please teach me this time!" ”

The reason why he said this, Meng Jintai probably guessed in his heart that it was impossible for the other party to come over for no reason, and if he could come to visit him, he must have guessed his current situation.

"Haha, His Royal Highness Chongwang, don't panic and come over, it's specifically for His Highness to relieve this difficulty."

Qin Hui didn't go around in circles, and after sitting down, he bowed to the other five people first, and then said to the four princes in front of him with a smile, "This time, Hui came here specially." ”

"Mr. Qin has received the imperial order of the Son of Heaven of the Xia Kingdom?"

"This is nature, otherwise even if the juniper has a heart, it has no guts."

Hearing that he was under the imperial order of Su Chen, the emperor of the Xia Kingdom, Meng Jintai's heart suddenly calmed down, and the five Wenwu who stood in line to worship the king showed surprised expressions on their faces, they didn't know that the four princes were still in contact with the emperor of the Xia Kingdom.

In fact, not only the four princes and the other four Qin Hui are connected, but the relationship is very good, but they only came to visit when they saw the value of use here.

The atmosphere was much more relaxed.

A waiter came over to serve tea, and quietly closed the door of the attic hall after leaving. Qin Hui took a sip of tea, and saw that everyone was still looking at him, so he put down the tea with a smile, stroked his beard and said: "This time, it was actually my majesty who asked me to explore the situation in Yueguo at this time.

But you also know that it is impossible for a country to be without a king, let alone without a prince, and this is a family affair of the Yue country, as a son-in-law, it is actually not easy for him to interject, so he only let the Qingzhou army enter Huizhou to see the reaction of the five princes, as a result, I heard the news as soon as I came here, so I rushed to Chongwang's mansion. ”

Meng Jintai nodded clearly, and then asked, "Then my brother-in-law, what are you going to do?" ”

"Haha, Your Highness, the ministers have come to you, what do you think my majesty is going to do?"

Hearing this, a hint of joy flashed in Meng Jintai's eyes, but he didn't show it, and before he could speak, Qin Hui over there smiled and stroked his beard and got up: "Before I left Luyang, I had this to talk to Your Majesty, and he said that among the princes, the four princes are tall and stout, and they can be described as aliens in the Yue Kingdom, coupled with their blood and heroism, and their thoughts are pure, if the Yue Kingdom is handed over to him, they will definitely do something else, instead of only caring about the interests of the camp like other princes." ”

As he spoke, Qin Hui turned his head to look at Meng Jintai who was in the first place.

"My Majesty is also tall and skilled in martial arts, and the so-called close to Zhu Zhechi naturally admires the same heroic people, otherwise you see that in the Xia Kingdom, the fierce generals are like clouds, and there are slightly fewer Wenchen, which is the reason."

"The Red ...... of the Near Zhu"

Meng Jintai chanted these four words, as if a fire was burning in his heart, and he had a feeling of finding a confidant, so he excitedly clenched his fist and smashed it in the palm of his hand, and still asked uneasily.

"Then my brother-in-law supports me?"

Qin Hui smiled and nodded: "This is natural. ”

"Does that gentleman have a way to teach me? Now you know the situation, tomorrow morning, I will leave the capital and go to the fiefdom. ”

"Your Highness!"

Qin Hui still had a smiling expression, he took two steps out, and whispered beside Meng Jintai: "His Royal Highness was recruited into the capital, but it is a great opportunity, the so-called near the water is the first to get the moon, how can such a good opportunity be missed." ”

"Mr. means ......"

Qin Hui stretched out his hand and made a chopping gesture, sentence by sentence: "Take the palace and pass the four princes into Beijing!" ”

"How does this work?!" Meng Jintai was shocked, he was reckless, but he was not stupid, not to mention whether there was an army or not, just about attacking the imperial city and letting him kill his father, he would never refuse.

However, Qin Hui's next words made him hesitate.

“…… Those who want to achieve great things can not hesitate. When Your Highness arrives, you only need to imprison your father and take down hundreds of officials in the name of the last court, as long as you don't leak the news, big things can be expected! ”

Don't kill your father......

Meng Jintai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was still a little hesitant, but he thought that the crown prince had no chance with him, and no matter which brother took the throne in the future, he might not be too good to himself.

Gritting his teeth, his eyes flashed fiercely.

"Then how do you storm the palace? I didn't bring all my troops in the fiefdom. ”

"Huh...... It's easy! ”

Qin Hui glanced back at the five people over there, and whispered a few words in his ear, muttering so that people couldn't hear it clearly, but he could vaguely hear it being said, one of the five people.

"This General Liu, who stands in line, remembers that the imperial history of the DPRK and China is a relative, and the other party's relative is ...... The general of the west gate of the imperial city ......"

“…… Instead of sitting back and waiting, it's better to give it a go. ”

"After the night...... That's it......"

The lights are flickering, and the atmosphere of intrigue is revealed in the dim light and shadow.

……

Soon, the time soon came to the third watch in the morning, the nine hundred soldiers were all wearing armor and holding knives, and their shoes were wrapped with a thick layer of cloth, divided into nine teams to take advantage of the darkness of the early morning to come out of the homes of the four generals, and walked through the streets and alleys to the Yuqian Gate, where the general named Yu Feiyan broke fire and shook it under the city.

On the top of the castle tower, the deputy general was tied up and thrown aside, and the city lord looked at the sparks shaking under the city, and he raised his hand and asked his own soldiers to go below and open the city gate.

In the darkness of the night, nine hundred soldiers rushed in.

On the top of the city tower, the guard Wang Kai waved his long knife and led the army to follow the soldiers and horses of the four princes from the west to the Linju Gate leading to the front palace.

The long knife flew over the head.

Countless footsteps followed the generals, let out hysterical shouts, and rushed up the walls to kill the crowd.

Killing on the walls, people falling from the high walls with screams.

The gate of Linji was opened, and more troops came in and rushed into the front palace!

Rush into the middle palace!

Rush into the harem inner garden!

Chaos swept in, and figures converged into a stream that spread throughout the inner garden.

Meng Tong, who heard the news, woke up from his sleep, he didn't believe that his son would make him a rebellion, but the cry of killing was approaching, and he had to take the queen to run away, and the road was full of soldiers who came in, fighting with the guards.

Meng Tong spread his hair, and in the confusion, he was stabbed twice, half of his body was stained with blood, and finally he was thrown to the ground by a soldier.

"Inform Your Highness at once—"

"Your Majesty has caught-"

The chaos that had been stirred up for an hour had subsided, and the Emperor's decree was then issued from the palace, causing the guards of the other two gates of the Imperial City to give up their resistance and come under the command of King Chong.

Soon, Meng Jintai rode his war horse, wearing armor all over his body, and entered the palace with his sword hanging, and what he saw was Meng Dong's gloomy face.

"Father...... Was you frightened yesterday? ”

Then, Meng Jintai smiled and asked his soldiers to take the emperor down, "It's okay, if you are frightened, you can recuperate in the inner garden, and the affairs outside, the sons and daughters will work for you......"

Even if Meng Tong realized something now, it was already too late.

"Do you know what you're doing?"

The moment he was pulled down, he turned around and shouted to the fourth child who walked up the royal steps.

"I know, how don't I know ......"

Meng Jintai touched the gold-encrusted dragon case, and walked to the dragon chair and murmured slowly. At this moment, he gritted his teeth, and his eyes were fierce to the extreme, "If you don't do this, I'll be the one who will die in the future...... Father. ”

When he said this, Meng Tong had already been taken away, and immediately, Meng Jintai turned around, sat directly on the dragon chair, and constantly issued orders to arrange ambushes in the palace.

With the ministers of the previous dynasty also came over like the fifth watch, and then entered the imperial city, the palace, and entered the main hall to wait for the arrival of the emperor, but today, when they entered the main hall, they saw the king Chong sitting on the dragon chair with a golden sword, and they were stunned in place.

"Chongwang, you are ......"

"Go to court!"

Meng Jintai was full of confidence at the moment, looked at the military generals below, and straightened his back, "Pass on my father's imperial order, and immediately let the other four princes enter Beijing, as for you, don't go home for the time being, just stay with me in the palace." ”

Several fast horses carrying the holy decree galloped out of the imperial city on the morning of the same day, and then rushed to various fiefdoms.

When everything was done and the dust settled, it was news that caught countless people off guard.
