Chapter 39 (36)

Shangguan Yaohua heard the bruises on his forehead suddenly jumping, and couldn't help but interrupt: "Hey, my sister is weird enough, don't instill these nonsense opinions in her anymore." ”

Cheng Jiaxuan said: "In any case, sister-in-law, you have already achieved positive results, don't forget to give more guidance to your sister in the future." ”

Ping Ruoyu said with a smile: "This is natural, I am very familiar with that person, and when we meet in the future, I will help you say a few more kind words." The two of us have to help each other, and you have to help me keep an eye on your brother, he is a person, his temperament is too lively, I am afraid that a little girl will not know each other, and then hook up with him, after all, I am Ping Ruoyu, I have never thought that the two daughters will serve a husband, even if the other party's identity is the prince, even if he will be the emperor in the future. I don't care about others, even if I can't ask for an old love, one day my conscience suddenly finds out, and I come back to throw him a flattering look, and I can't stand it if I say a few nice words......"

Shangguan Yaohua said angrily: "Ping Ruoyu, what do you mean by this? Okay, you don't want to be suspicious anymore, I promise you, I will never see Nangong Xue's face again, and I will completely cut off contact with her! In the future, I will only have you as a wife, and if I don't take a concubine, will you be content? Then you will be less yin and yang in front of me, I will be disgusted!"

Cheng Jiaxuan laughed and said: "Wow, sister-in-law, you are really capable, even a cold-mouthed person like my brother, you can cure him obediently." even forced him to swear to you and ...... you from the beginning to the end Hey, it's a happy death. Ping Ruoyu smiled and looked at Shangguan Yaohua gently, forcing him to be angry again, and he couldn't express it for a while.

The relationship between the three of them was strangely maintained on the spot, and suddenly a guard broke in, panicked as soon as he entered the door, and called softly: "Little prince...... So you haven't rested yet, great, great!" After saying this, his eyes flashed with extreme excitement at the same time. Shangguan Yaohua shouted: "There are no rules, next time you dare to break in, this king has taken off your head!"

This sentence did not reduce the good mood of the guards, and hurriedly made a few gestures, and said: "The prince wants me to convey, please ask the little prince to immediately reorganize the army, gather in the courtyard, and enter the palace with the prince." ”

Ping Ruoyu said unhappily: "It's so late, why do you have to rush into the palace......? This is the order of the prince. We are slaves, and we can't ask for details, so please understand the little prince and Fujin. ”

Shangguan Yaohua's face flashed with surprise, and then he regained his ice complexion, and he couldn't see half of his joy and anger, and responded: "Well, this king knows what is going on." Go down first, and return to your father, and I'll be there later. The guard replied, "Yes, yes, thank you, little prince." As if he had been pardoned, as if he was afraid that he would repent, he immediately turned around and left the house.

Shangguan Yaohua didn't say a word, went straight back to the room, and took out the official uniform from the wardrobe to put on. Ping Ruoyu took one sleeve, put on the other arm for him, and said in a low voice: "What, it's for that ......"

Shangguan Yaohua sneered: "Nonsense. Otherwise, he took me into the palace late at night, and if it wasn't for that incident, would it still be a whim to invite me to tea?" Ping Ruoyu couldn't stop worrying, and repeatedly admonished: "This matter is not a small risk, you must be careful." Even if it's for me and Xiaoxuan, you have to take care of yourself. ”

Shangguan Yaohua said coldly: "Wrong, the risk is not small, it is impossible to lose your life at any time." Ever since I set foot on this road, my head has been on my waist at all times. However, you don't have to be nervous, my life and death, not for anyone. I'm not the leader then, even though I'm following behind, and there are so many shields, what are I nervous about?"

Cheng Jiaxuan also followed behind him, but on the contrary, he was not flustered at all, but showed a look of great interest, and said: "Brother, let me go with you, okay? ”

Shangguan Yaohua said impatiently: "I'm talking stupid things again, how can girls be involved in that kind of thing? If you don't want to die, let me restrain myself." Cheng Jiaxuan pouted and said, "I can hide behind others like you." If the girl is not suitable, I will disguise myself as a man and pretend to be your personal bodyguard, right?"

Shangguan Yaohua sneered and said, "Have you ever seen a killer assassinate and bring a personal guard?" Ruoyu, you give me a good look at her." Both of you will be in peace with me in the house. While putting on the official hat, he didn't look at the two girls again, walked in a hurry, and was out of the room in a blink of an eye.

Although it was not the first time that Cheng Jiaxuan had seen him wearing an official uniform, he saw that he was heroic, and he immediately couldn't take his eyes off. Ping Ruoyu looked at Shangguan Yaohua's back and sighed, as if he could only stand in place forever, watching his back leave in a daze, but he was never able to close the distance between the two. looked at Cheng Jiaxuan and smiled bitterly, leaning his arm against the door frame, trembling slightly.

Shangguan Yaohua had finished the army, and led all the soldiers to the courtyard, and it was already after a meal. Prince Fu was already dressed neatly in military uniform, his hands were repeatedly circled, and his face was full of anger, and all the generals did not dare to talk to him without authorization.

Shangguan Yaohua was the first person who didn't know what to do, and said lightly: "Father-in-law, the time is almost up." The tone was extremely indifferent, as if it was only natural that he had only arrived at this time. The rest of the generals saw that he had ignited Prince Fu's anger, and they all looked at him with some schadenfreude.

Prince Fu's anger really intensified instantly, and he shouted, "Why do you have to prepare for so long? What are you rubbing?"

Shangguan Yaohua said slowly: "This kind of thing can't be rushed. Father-in-law, haven't you heard the old saying that 'the laster comes first'? We don't have to participate in the initial melee, and the people in front divide the situation, lose the army, and exhaust the combat strength. Then we will accept the results effortlessly. It's really not possible, but you can also decide your position based on this, isn't that exactly what Concubine Yun meant at the beginning? Instead of going to death earlier, it is better to train your own troops first, and wait to pick a cheap one. ”

If the emperor has the upper hand, he will immediately betray his comrades, pretend to be loyal to the guard, and hate the thief a hundred times more than he has the hatred of killing his father, and immediately draw his sword and behead the man on the spot. The first step is to show loyalty to the emperor, and the second step is to extinguish the mouth as soon as possible to avoid future troubles. At most, it is a crime of "being late to escort", but in the end, loyalty is commendable, not only is there no fault, but there is merit.

If the emperor can really be pushed off the throne, the alliance that was formed will definitely collapse immediately, and all parties will compete for the jade seal. Either only one side is left in the first place, or both sides are defeated in the brawl, and the enemy is left with only one team with great loss of strength, or a room full of defeated soldiers, and it takes not much effort to sweep it in one fell swoop.

But Prince Fu was reluctant to agree with Shangguan Yaohua, and said: "If you have your own plans, you should at least come to report to this king first." Don't forget that this operation is still led by me, what crime should you be guilty of disobeying orders privately?"

Shangguan Yaohua said indifferently: "Father-in-law, the child told you that the time is almost up. Shall we rush to the palace to compete for the jade seal, or will we let you waste more time scolding me, and then agree on a policy of rewards and punishments? ”

Although Prince Fu was annoyed at this time, he would not let go of the cooked duck. Raising his hand, he shouted, "Okay, and focus on the overall situation." Let's go!"

The team trotted all the way forward, and Shangguan Yaohua followed behind Prince Fu and said, "According to what Concubine Yun said, this plan is about the process. It will take a while for the implementation to be completed, so that we will have to be patient. Why is it that you are suddenly so early that you are completely unprepared?"

Prince Fu said: "We are still caught off guard, isn't the emperor's side even more alarmed?" Shangguan Yaohua said: "Oh? If you are not fully prepared and act rashly, won't it be like hitting a stone with an egg?"

Prince Fu said in a low voice: "It is said that he would not have been in such a hurry. It's all because there are a few nests that can't hold their breath...... I'll tell you on the way, hurry up!" Shangguan Yaohua pursed his lips, and he couldn't see it really in the night, so he immediately followed.

Outside the Qianqing Palace, there was really a tense situation, and a large number of guards surrounded the three layers and the outer three layers of the palace, and the black pressure did not leave a single gap. The torch in his hand was blazing, and the firelight reflected the night as much as day, and the bloodthirsty faces were also reflected extremely hideous.

Swords collided, gongs and drums rang out in unison, and the Qianqing Palace, which had always been quiet*, was the first time that the noise was heard in the surroundings. The guards shouted in unison, mixed together, and it was impossible to tell what they were saying.

Several princes and nobles stood at the forefront of the procession, and they were the leaders of the action, each staring at the palace gate, looking at each other from time to time, silent. How the belly turns a thousand times, only you know. Through the thick pasted window paper, only the dim light in the room could be seen, and no one could see what the specific situation was and what the emperor did.

These people have been officials for a long time, and they are afraid of the majesty of the Qianqing Palace, so they dare not burn and kill all the way and rush in. But outside the Wangwang Palace, it can also be seen that there are many guards lying horizontally, and the blood is winding all the way under everyone's feet, which seems to indicate that this action is destined to make people embark on the road of no return.

All the generals clenched their blades tightly, as if this would give them some courage and remind themselves that there was no turning back when they opened their bows. lest you be too nervous, and you will turn around and run away halfway and become a traitor.

The restless noise continued for a long time, when suddenly a deafening gong sounded, and the environment fell silent. An elderly official with gray hair and beard stepped forward, a little closer to the temple door, and deliberately used a deliberative tone first, but his voice was quite loud so that everyone present could hear it clearly. "Your Majesty, don't you believe it? You have no way to escape, for the sake of the first emperor, and for the sake of our monarchs and ministers, the old ministers are not willing to take your life." Please also consider our conditions, as long as you agree, all the promises made before are counted, and that is not much better than the current stalemate?

Shunzhi stood alone in the hall, his footsteps stopped on a pair of calligraphy in the corner, and his raised fingers copied the strokes on the calligraphy intentionally or unintentionally, letting the hall make a noise, as if everything had nothing to do with him. Outside the hall, another old minister's voice said: "What are you talking about with him? Just drag it out and cut it, can't we find it ourselves?"

The previous man seemed to make a gesture to stop him from talking, and said in a good voice: "Your Majesty, a good man does not suffer immediate losses." It's not that you're okay if you don't speak, it's a last resort, it can only make both parties unhappy. Okay, I'll repeat the conditions again, as long as you hand over the jade seal of the country, the old minister will immediately open the door and let you walk. After that, if you want, we can treat you as the emperor's support, and you can still enjoy all the rights you had before, what's the wrong thing? For the sake of the long run, you should think about it carefully and agree!"

The rest of the people finally lost their patience, and the other leader said angrily: "It seems that he has chosen to toast and not eat and drink!

Everyone has obviously been suppressed for a long time and has responded. The first few people stepped aside, and a few other guards armed with long knives and axes slashed down on the door panel. The palace door was extremely unstrong, and after a few moves, a big hole was split in the door panel, and then a few more knives, and the two guards raised their feet and kicked it, and the door panel collapsed, and a puff of dust rose.
