Pei Liang and the two glanced at each other, and then Liang Chen spread out his palm and showed it to Pei Zhan.

Pei Zhan's eyes flashed slightly, like a lake blown by a spring breeze.

He nodded slightly to Liang Chen, who then whispered a few words in the emperor's ear.

Under such a sudden change, the emperor and queen were both shocked and angry, after all, no one expected that the own son he cultivated would have such a sinister move in advance after killing his own brother!

The closest relatives in the world are just like this, and when you turn your face, all the affection and righteousness have become knives!

It's just that they haven't seen anything in their lives? They no longer expected that the battle for imperial power that had only appeared in the past history books would appear on them at this time, and they also regained their composure at a very fast speed.

Looking at Li Yao and Li Yu who came in, the emperor faced the crown prince: "This is why you favored Concubine Li in the first place?" You arranged such a play early? You killed your own brother, and now you want to kill your father and mother?! ”

"Erchen is wronged!" The crown prince knelt down under the threshold: "These are all Pei Zhan Liang Chen's collusion with King Rong's father and son to falsely accuse me!" The father and queen mother were confused by the traitorous ministers, and they couldn't listen to the advice of the sons, and the sons had to make this decision for the sake of the Great Zhou world, and for the sake of the people of Li who had suffered so much no longer to suffer from turmoil!

"I also asked my father and queen mother to order Pei Liang and the others to be killed, and the sons and daughters immediately ordered people to withdraw their troops! As long as the threat is lifted, the sons will wait for their father and queen mother! ”

These words are sonorous and powerful, as if the justice of the whole world has fallen on their shoulders, where can we still see Fang Cai's panic and gaffe?

The emperor looked around the crossbowmen on the window, there were eight in all. Except for the emperor and Pei Zhan Liangchen, the rest of the palace were all civil officials.

The guards were unarmed.

With the emperor's current situation, it is not easy to protect himself, let alone his combat effectiveness back then.

And they came under the pretense of escorting and eliminating traitors, even if there were still people on the periphery, they would not dare to act rashly.

So eight people with weapons in the house have a good chance of winning by holding these few in the house.

The Emperor said slowly, "In this case, everything is under your control. ”

The crown prince stood up from the ground and brushed his robe: "Thanks to my father's cultivation!" As the prince of the Great Zhou, I can't let my father down. How do you see my hand? ”

"Not bad. But I'm curious, how do you get out when you turn around? The emperor glanced outside the door, "The Li family did their best to lead a hundred people at most. That is, the power to besiege this Qianqing Palace.

"If you can't take me and your mother within half an hour, after half an hour, the palace people who brought tea and food in will definitely take measures to notify the outsiders when they see that the situation is wrong!

"At that time, my generals will definitely lead the defense of the capital and turn you into a sieve. What can you do with these 100 people? ”

"Half an hour is enough!" Xu Yin bowed his hand to the crown prince, "Dare to ask Your Highness, is the East Palace still prepared?" The minister is willing to go to the dispatch! ”

The crown prince stared at the emperor for a moment and responded, "Go find Jinbao!" After speaking, he waved his hand, and the Li brothers arranged for two people to stand on Xu Yin's side.

Xu Yin said that the prince's pain point, at this juncture, they are grasshoppers on a line, even if the surname Xu is from Dayue, their purpose is the same now, that is, to cross this hurdle and save this life! He explained before he came out that outsiders were not allowed to enter the East Palace, and Xu Yin would not be able to see Jinbao without his arrangement, and if he sent two people to follow Xu Yin, he was not afraid of him playing tricks!

Xu Yin took a deep look at the room, and then walked out of the temple gate under the protection of the crossbowman.

The sun was shining outside the hall, and it was close to noon.

The emperor is worthy of being the emperor, and the people led by the Li family brothers have surrounded all the entrances and exits of the Qianqing Palace, and the number of people is indeed as he estimated, but there are only about 100 people.

Even if the crown prince has some power, it is not greater than the imperial power, and this is what he can operate.

He didn't have anything to win the emperor, but he was better than being prepared in advance. Now that the prince's various crimes have not been announced, no one outside the Qianqing Palace knows that the emperor wants to depose the prince, let alone think that the emperor wants to kill him. In everyone's consciousness, he is still the prince of the Great Zhou, and his position is extremely stable.

The crown prince earned this time difference and transferred a hundred guards into the palace, just like the emperor said, as long as he can control the situation in half an hour, he will be able to live. If you're lucky, you might even be able to ascend to the throne...... With the emperor's recent physical condition, he died suddenly at this time, who would be surprised?

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, even if they are suspicious, must first stabilize the court and cooperate with the prince first.

The prince controlled the situation, so Pei Zhan and Liang Chen and everyone present would of course not survive afterwards, the prince mobilized troops and horses in the name of escort, which was justified to the outside world, and even if the emperor died in the process, it would definitely be killed by the rebellious Pei Liang and the others.

The charges are all on Pei Zhan's head, and no one will know what happened in the future.

It is not difficult for a prince to arrange it in advance except for himself, no one knows before today that he will be abolished and killed.

It was worth the risk for the crown prince, anyway, before deciding to kill the emperor's eldest son, he should have thought about all this thoroughly.

You see, he only needs to have a hundred men and horses, plus half an hour's time, enough to trap the emperor. As for whether the truth will be revealed one day in the future, and whether anyone will question the reasonableness of the prince's actions, it is not a matter that should be considered at the moment of life and death.

There is a risk in forcing the palace, but he can be replaced by Xu Yin, and he will do the same at this time.

And it has to be!

It's just that if he is the crown prince, he will never be as relieved as an outsider like him!

Just like he is now-

The corners of Xu Yin's mouth twitched without a trace, and then he quickened his pace and stepped across the corridors, passed through the still calm palaces, and came to the gate of the East Palace.

He said loudly outside the palace gate: "I am ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come to see Jinbao and Concubine Li!" ”

The palace people under the door saw the people of the Li family brothers behind him, and entered the palace without saying a word.

Concubine Li was fidgeting in the main hall, no matter how many people she sent to investigate, there was not a single word of news from the Qianqing Palace.

The only thing that is certain is that the Li family brothers, who took over the shift change in the morning, have already led people to surround the Qianqing Palace!

The current rumor is that Pei Zhan Liang Chen and Rong Wangfu conspired to hold the emperor hostage and harm the prince! - This is certainly in line with their expectations. As long as the charges of Pei Zhan Liangchen, the most powerful person on the emperor's side, are confirmed, everything that the crown prince has exercised will be logical!

But before the last minute, who can put their minds at ease?

When the palace people came to say that the prince had sent Xu Yin over, Jin Bao and Concubine Li ignored it, and then walked quickly out of the threshold.

They don't know why Xu Yin came over, and they don't even know that Xu Yin is involved. Things happened so fast and changed so much in one day that they didn't have time to explore!

But there are people from the Li family behind Xu Yin, so he must see them.

The two of them saw Xu Yin wandering anxiously back and forth under the corridor.

Xu Yin was faster than them to meet the threshold.

"In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor has already spoken, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only has half an hour at most. Now that a quarter of an hour has passed, His Royal Highness the Prince's remaining arrangements can be started immediately, otherwise he will not be able to take Pei Liang and the two traitors! ”

Jin Bao and Concubine Li looked at each other, and then looked at the two behind him.

The two nodded heavily: "What Xu Shilang said is true!" The safety of the emperor's mother is indeed under Pei Zhan Liangchen's control! ”

They were all transferred to the Qianqing Palace by the Li brothers in the name of escorting, and after they went there, they heard that the prince was accusing Pei Liang and the others, and what they saw was indeed Pei Zhanliang Chen standing beside the emperor. The status of the crown prince is well known, so can all this be fake?

Concubine Li pursed her lips.

Jin Bao immediately said: "Pass the order, the emperor has been held hostage by Pei Zhan Liangchen, and all the guards must not act rashly!" Strictly guard the palace gates everywhere and wait for His Highness's will to act! ”

Xu Yin said: "That's not enough! After speaking, he immediately turned to the two of them and said, "Once the emperor has an accident, His Royal Highness needs to take over the aftermath immediately!"

"When there was an accident in the palace of Fang Cairong, it had already attracted the civil and military spectators of the Manchu Dynasty, and at any time, important ministers of the court would enter the palace to inquire about the inside situation!

"Right now, the two of you quickly go and gather the officials of the Zhan Mansion to discuss how to deal with it!"

The only one who can give advice around the prince is Zhan Shifu!

And if something happens to the prince, the people of Zhan Shifu will definitely be held accountable, and it is of course necessary to gather all the stakeholders at the moment!

Concubine Li said: "Go quickly!" ”

The two thought of the prince's purpose of assigning them to follow Xu Yin, but they did not act immediately.

Jinbao urged: "What are you still rubbing, don't you hurry up?" The emperor's safety is at stake, how many of you dare to delay! ”

The two of them immediately turned and left.

Xu Yin retracted his gaze and said to Concubine Li: "There will be turmoil in the palace immediately, and you mean very much to His Highness."

"If you are not careful, you will become a ready-made live target in the hands of Pei Thief, and it will make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince unable to perform, for this reason, the side concubine has to think of a perfect strategy!"

Concubine Li is just a young inner palace woman, and the most powerful struggle she has experienced in her life is the palace fight with the concubines of the East Palace, and a trace of confusion flashed on her face when she heard this. She looked at Jinbao: "You are in charge here, I will take the emperor's eldest grandson back to the Li family first!" ”

Jinbao was embarrassed: "But at such a critical juncture, the slaves can't be assigned to escort the side concubine!" ”

Xu Yin said: "Now that Pei Zhan and the two are plotting rebellion, no one outside the palace knows about it, and they must immediately release this rumor before they can set things right!"

"I can't delay any longer, I'll leave the palace immediately! The side concubine can go out with me, and I can escort all the way to the Li family! It's just that the emperor's eldest grandson doesn't have to take it, he is too young to take care of it on the road! ”

The eldest grandson of the emperor was born to Concubine Yu, how much true affection does Concubine Li have for the eldest grandson of the emperor?

At this moment, she can't wait to get away from this place quickly!

Hearing this, she immediately pushed the boat down the river: "Xu Shilang is thoughtful!" Quickly take the jade plaque of His Royal Highness the Prince, and we will go out from the Donghua Gate nearby! ……”

……

Fu Zhen stood outside the Great Zhou Gate, squinting at the bright sun in the sky, and brushing the horsehair beside him with his fingers.

After waiting for Liang Chen to arrive in King Rong's mansion and exchanging information with each other, Liang Chen took King Rong's father and son, Yongping mother and son, Tie Ying and others into the palace, she checked again, found Pei Yu, and then rushed to the palace wall.

According to what Liang Chen said about the situation in the Qianqing Palace, it is not difficult to guess that the prince has nothing to fear. And Xu Yin has already colluded with the prince, and the two are trying to join forces to resist.

But even if King Rong's father and son and Tie Ying can detain all the charges of the prince and Xu Yin to death, the prince can deal with it calmly, and Xu Yin dares to enter the palace seriously, they still have a way to deal with it, which is obvious.

It's all here, and of course the grass must be eradicated.

No one should be left out of all those involved.

The most labor-saving way, of course, is to give them a chance to show all their hole cards.

With Pei Zhan and Liang Chen by his side, the safety of the emperor and queen should not be a problem.

And how to cooperate outside the palace next, it is up to Pei Yu, Du Mingqian's father Du Xun, and Cheng Zhili's father Cheng Shaochi to make the decision.

Fu Zhen proposed to come and see the fun, Pei Yu didn't agree at first, but after watching her finish a whole set of punches and kicks, he had no opinion.

Now more than half an hour has passed since Liang Chen entered the palace, but it is still quiet in the palace gate.

If it weren't for the commander of the palace guards who was sent to the Qianqing Palace to inquire about the movements, he reported that Li Yao and Li Yu, the commanders of the guards who had changed shifts in the morning, led two teams of people to the Qianqing Palace to "escort", where would anyone know that at this time, in the usual calm summer, a serious struggle for imperial power was being staged?

"Escort"? It's a shame they have so much courage!

It's just that they haven't gotten a signal from Pei Zhan yet, even if Pei Yu and their teeth itch with hatred, they can only be here for the time being.

"The prince is a waste, he can't be happy when he looks for death, he has been busy working under the sun, and I am about to suffer from heat stroke!"

Pei Yu was wearing gold armor and carrying a big knife, and at this time, he scolded and led Liang Zhi and Du Mingqian over.

Fu Zhen stood up straight and hurriedly instructed Guo Song behind him: "Send a few people to carry a few buckets of ice drinks!" Get a few more small mazas, a few more small tables! Give the generals a rest! ”

After speaking, she turned her head back: "Have you already arranged everything under the city gate?" Are you sure that you won't reveal the news and enter the palace, so that the prince and Xu Yin will know that we have a deployment, right? ”

Everyone looks relaxed on their faces, but where can they really relax?

Once the emperor has an accident, the Great Zhou will experience another turmoil.

The prosperous era that the government and the opposition are looking forward to will not know what year and month it will be realized.

Besides, there is such a crooked seed as the prince in the imperial heir, which will always damage the majesty of the heavenly family, and the people of the Quartet will have to spend energy to appease them.

At this moment, there is really no room for error.

"Don't worry! My Uncle Pei is not reliable? Liang Zhi crossed his waist and said, "I guarantee that as long as we don't agree, even a fly in this palace can't fly in, and we can't fly out!" ”

Fu Zhen agrees.

She thought for a moment and said, "Has the Defense Division checked it over there, how did the Li family brothers happen to be on an errand?" ”
