"Uncle Zhou!" Huai'an rolled over and dismounted, and was caught by the soldiers on the left and right.

"Uncle Zhou, it's me! My name is Shen Huai'an, my father's name is Shen Yu, we met in Anjiang County! Huai'an struggled.

"Let him come." Zhou Yue said.

The soldiers looked at each other, let go of their hands, and Huai'an rushed towards Zhou Yue.

"I remember you, how did you grow so big?" Zhou Yue looked him up and down, recalling the two little guys who were secretly looking at him with the door frame.

"It's just growing up at your own pace." Huai'an took Zhou Yue's hand and hurriedly said, "Uncle Zhou, I see that there is a large army in the north of Qi'er Mountain, not our army, it may be from Mobei!" ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar all around.

"Don't be alarmist, kid." The lieutenant general beside Zhou Yue scared him.

"I take a personality guarantee, there are nearly 10,000 people!" Huai'an said: "Qi'er Village is two big villages, and the villagers are all displaced people who have cleared the wasteland. If these Mobei people came to the mainland to plunder, Qi'er Village would definitely bear the brunt, Uncle Zhou, you save them! ”

"The whole team goes into the mountains." As soon as Zhou Yue gave the order, the deputy general began to deploy.

Zhou Yue ordered people to watch Huai'an closely, turned around and returned to the camp of the Chinese army, there were eunuchs in the army, which was commonly known as the "prison army", he was now stationed outside the city to wait for orders, and his every move was controlled by the eunuchs.

Zhou Yue was a very cautious person, both cautious and sophisticated, which was one of the reasons why he was not too implicated after the fall of his patron Governor Cao.

After he reported to the eunuch in the camp, the soldiers were also assembled, and Huai'an pulled the moon and prepared to follow Zhou Yue back to Qi'er Village.

"Huai'an, don't go." Zhou Yue said: "I will send two guards to send you, go back to the city immediately, don't let your parents worry." ”

"Okay, Uncle Zhou, you must be careful!" Huai'an Road.

The three adjutants behind Zhou Yue laughed loudly, and the Zhou Jiajun, who was terrified of the Japanese Emperor, was regarded as a heavenly soldier by the people wherever he went, and it was the first time he heard a little doll tell them to be careful.

Huai'an couldn't understand what they were laughing at, but it was quite reassuring to see these tall and powerful muscular men. He did not delay any longer, turned on his horse, and left the barracks.

Along the way, two pro-soldiers praised in a southern accent: "Little boy, where did you get this horse?" The foot strength is not inferior to the war horse! ”

Huai'an squinted his eyes and galloped his horse, his ears were full of the whirring wind, and he couldn't hear what they were talking about.

……

The lead clouds hung low, and the muffled sound of autumn thunder rolled by.

In front of the magnificent and solemn noon gate tower, there are hundreds of civil and military officials and women inside and outside.

Half an hour has passed since the auspicious time of the spirit, and Concubine Duan's coffin is still resting on the wide noon gate square. On the periphery of the noon gate square, the armored warriors of the forbidden army guarded the crowd like iron buckets.

The Forbidden Army has rebelled, and this is a thought that □□ rise in the hearts of all.

What about Dongchang and Jinyiwei? We don't know yet.

All of them were silent, tense and silent, and a delicate balance between the blazing fire of righteous indignation and the cold light of the sword armor had reached a delicate balance.

King Yong had long since disappeared, he dropped Concubine Duan's coffin and went to Qianqing Palace alone.

Emperor Yongli slowly opened his eyes, and after a whirlwind, his blurred vision gradually became clear. The hall was empty, and the palace maids and eunuchs on duty were all gone.

"Feng Chun, Feng Chun......" He endured the strong discomfort and called out to the eunuch he trusted the most.

"Long live Lord, you forgot, Father-in-law Feng interceded for Zhou Xichen and went to Dongchang Prison." Suddenly a voice remembered.

"Oh, it's Foontai." The emperor's chapped lips opened and closed, and he gasped for a long time, and said, "Go, go and ask the imperial doctor." ”

Fang Tai stood still.

"It's really the sun that comes out of the west, and my father will actually believe in the imperial doctor."

The emperor's laborious side head, in the dazzling white light outside the palace door, gradually revealed a black outline, it was King Yong.

"Father," his voice was extremely soft: "The imperial doctor has already come, and the father is just overly sad, and there is no big problem, and the sons are worried, so they specially stay to serve their father." ”

An ominous feeling rose in the emperor's heart, but his dead wood-like body could not support it, and he slapped this rebel in the face.

His chest heaved heavily, he gasped heavily, and his throat made a strange, muffled, hoarse sound.

"Father, don't be impatient." King Yong said: "If you have something to say, just tell the ministers, and the ministers will do it for their father." ”

The emperor stared at King Yong: "Do you want to ...... Forced palace? ”

King Yong suddenly laughed loudly: "Father said that he laughed, how can I call it coercion to get back what originally belonged to me?" ”

"Dongchang and the forbidden army have all rebelled, right?" The emperor hit the nail on the head: "You don't have this ability, it is your mother and uncle who are planning and deploying for you in the capital, taking advantage of the psychology of Wu Junyu's party to be in danger, and promising them to protect the dragon and help you succeed!" ”

"Your mother's death is not an accident, she calculated the time and exchanged her life for the opportunity for you to return to Beijing to launch a palace rebellion, yes or no?"

King Yong's face turned pale, and in the face of such a shrewd father, he suddenly became a little timid.

The emperor laughed a few times: "Idiot, since you are a rebel and thief, don't flinch, if you retreat, your mother will die in vain." The edict is hidden in your sleeve, right? Take it out and show it to me. ”

King Yong's heart was beating wildly, and talking to a smart person was to save time and effort, he put his sleeves together, and really took out a pre-prepared edict from his sleeve.

……

Wumen Square, this autumn rain has finally fallen.

A Feng Commander finally broke out, stood up and pointed to the commander of the forbidden army led by him, and asked, "Are you going to rebel?" ”

The commander of the forbidden army drew his sword and put it on his neck: "Your Majesty has an order, all civil and military officials, internal and external women are here to wait for the order, no noise and commotion, and violators will be killed." ”

This change broke the original silence, and hundreds of officials were crowded, some scolded, some beat their chests, in short, no one believed his nonsense.

Except for the three elderly pavilion elders who still stood in place, only Shen Yu and a few palace officials accompanied King Qi and didn't say a word.

"What should I do?" Lu Xian asked Shen Yu.

"Demolition of the funeral shed." Shen Yu spit out three words.

"What?!"

Without waiting for a few people to react, Shen Yu took the lead in rushing forward and overturned the confession in front of the coffin, and the tribute incense burner rolled to the ground.

The hundred officials and the women seemed to understand his intentions, and they stepped forward one after another, and worked together to knock down and tear down the spiritual shed, and the spirit flags were torn all over the ground, and chicken and duck sacrifices and paper bundles flew all over the sky, smashing on the heads and faces of the forbidden army, men and women, and made a mess.

The commander of the forbidden army was directly dumbfounded. He followed King Yong to force the palace, because he wanted to quietly get the edict and order the ministers, but he didn't dare to really use swords to slaughter hundreds of officials and relatives, not to mention that many officers in the forbidden army were originally from noble families, let them slaughter their parents and brothers, and it was impossible for anyone to obey.

can see that this group of Sven scholars are going crazy and smashing the mourning hall of Concubine Duan, throwing sacrifices at them, and they can't sit idly by.

The forbidden army rushed into the crowd to stop their behavior, and the elderly Taichang Siqing ran headlong into one of the guards, but the opponent's armor was too hard, and the old Siqing fainted.

The guards raised their hands to indicate that they had done nothing. But the anger of the people has been committed, where are the hundred officials willing to let him go, and they work together to knock him down, and he is bleeding from his mouth and nose after a random punch.

Shen Yu took advantage of the chaos to pick up the guard's knife, took a few military attachés to protect King Qi, and ran towards a narrow alleyway.

"What is His Royal Highness King Yong rubbing?!" The commander of the forbidden army was anxious to see sweat on his forehead.

"My lord, King Qi has run away!" An adjutant ran to remind.

The commander said angrily: "Don't chase it yet!" ”

……

Qianqing Palace, East Warm Pavilion.

The emperor slowly got up under the support of King Yong, took the edict of succession, smiled faintly, and in front of King Yong, he tore it to pieces inch by inch and threw it into the air.

Like the paper money flying in the sky at his mother's funeral.

King Yong looked at it in a daze, and a trace of sadness rose in his heart, not anger, but sadness.

He stood up, took two steps back, and asked, "Father, you really never thought about passing on to me?" ”

"Never thought about it." The emperor looked determined.

"Since you haven't thought about it, why did you just send me out of Beijing to avoid it, saying that the two dragons will be injured when they meet?" King Yong asked rhetorically.

"That's an excuse I made up to save your brother." The emperor said: "Erlong, it's not you and me, it's you and King Qi." ”

King Yong was in disbelief, his eyes bloodshot: "Why! Why am I not him! ”

The emperor's voice was not loud, but it was cold: "What good things have you done behind your back, do you really think I don't know?" King Qi has a concubine, first gave birth to a son, and then gave birth to a daughter, it was you who stole the beams and changed the pillars to send a palace maid's sibling sister to the palace of King Qi, and killed their mother and daughter. Do you really think Jinyiwei is a vegetarian? I suppressed this matter against public opinion, just to protect you! If you stay in the capital, your brother will die!" ”

The emperor coughed a few times, and the hall fell into a deathly silence.

"But why have you repeatedly sent the imperial doctor to ask about my body, hoping that I will give birth to an heir?" King Yong still asked without giving up.

"Don't you need someone to inherit your clan? What father in this world is willing to watch his son cut off his son? The Emperor asked rhetorically.

"Good, good!" King Yong smiled bitterly: "It really responds to the folk saying 'value the eldest son, love the younger son'." It's just that Erchen wants to know, in addition to the order of eldest and youngest, what am I inferior to King Qi? ”

The emperor glanced at him coldly and said something that was enough to make people angry: "You might as well use people as well." ”

Thinking that he was put on a position by Qin Yu and others, King Yong almost vomited blood in anger and walked back and forth in the hall.

After walking for a while, he finally cleared his mind: "Don't say it so high-soundingly, father, you only have yourself in your heart!" I never thought of passing on the throne to anyone, you just want to monopolize the monarchy for generations to come! ”

"You said this just to delay time, waiting for the people from the Beizhen Fusi and the Terracotta Division to come to the rescue." King Yong approached the emperor and said in his ear: "Don't dream, I will buy the Datong guards and let go of a small road, no accident, the Mobei people have already come to the city at this moment, and the divisions are busy guarding the city, and they have no time to take care of the situation within the palace walls." By dawn tomorrow morning, the enemy forces will retreat, and everything will be settled. ”

After hearing this, the emperor stared at his young son in disbelief: "You dare to collude with foreigners." ”

King Yong smiled with a little pride: "I did this to tell you that I am a hundred times stronger than the cowardly and incompetent King Qi." ”

The emperor didn't answer again, sat back cross-legged on the couch, closed his eyes, and said slowly: "If I were you, I would hurry up to the front to see if my mother's spiritual shed was still there." ”

King Yong's face turned from white to blue, and he pulled his legs and ran towards the noon gate.

As soon as King Yong left, the emperor's face gradually distorted, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

……

The situation in front of the noon gate became more and more chaotic, hundreds of officials and relatives, internal and external women, men and women nearly 1,000 people were running around without a head, and the forbidden army was arresting people everywhere, but they didn't know what to do after they were caught.

The shed collapsed, and the ground was full of wolves, leaving only a bare coffin drenched in the rain.

"Your Highness, where is the edict?" The commander of the forbidden army asked anxiously.

King Yong knelt on the ground, picked up the broken spirit flag, and roared with tears in his eyes: "Who did it!" ”

The commander of the forbidden army said: "It was Shen Yu who escaped to cover King Qi...... Your Highness, what about the edict? ”

King Yong seemed to be unable to hear, and stood up tremblingly: "Shen Yu, I want to dig your ancestral grave!" ”

He led a group of forbidden troops and chased after the alley where King Qi had fled—if he couldn't get the edict, it would be the same to kill King Qi.

Throughout the ages, kings have been defeated. It's just a few words of abuse by the historian, not to mention that he is not the only one who usurped the throne and seized power in this dynasty, and it is not his turn to come first when he is scolded.
