Chapter 137: Collision
Standing on the back of the Condor with Huang Rong in his arms and looking at the scenery in front of him condescendingly, now the two of them have gone out of the scope of the East China Sea, because the Condor can't bring too many people, so Hong Qigong stayed on Peach Blossom Island.
Although Ouyang Feng has been away for a while, Zhao Tiancheng is still afraid that something will happen, so he let Hong Qigong and Huang Yaoshi stay together first, he doesn't want any accidents due to negligence, Huang Rong is going to Lin'an with him, as long as the two of them take the Condor, they will not be intercepted on the road. There shouldn't be any danger.
It turned out that the note on that day was written the news that Zhao Kuo had died, Xinggong was concealing the secret and not mourning, but the emperor had not been to the court for a few days, so Shi Miyuan should have found something, gathered all the ministers in the court, and wanted to force the emperor to dedicate himself, once the news of the emperor's death was confirmed, he might immediately support Zhao Guicheng, who was still in Lin'an City.

The early morning sun broke through the dark curtain of the sky, and the imperial city also remembered the sound of drums, and Lin'an City, which should have been very calm at this time, showed a volcano that was about to erupt at this time.
At this time, the courtyard where Zhuge Guanlan and them settled was already full of people, Zhuge Guanlan and Lu Guanying stood in front of the crowd, watching the deployment below. Zhuge Guanlan cleared his throat and said: "I believe that everyone has felt unusual, and today I will explain clearly what everyone needs to be responsible for, if anyone makes a mistake, I believe that Gongzi will talk to him well." Then he glanced at Lu Guanying.
Lu Guanying nodded and stepped forward, this can be regarded as respect for Lu Guanying, after all, he is the leader of this army, and Zhuge Guanlan is just a figure equivalent to a military advisor in the final analysis.
"Wang, Gu, Zhang. Several commanders have gathered a lot of people in the forbidden army, and today you don't want to govern the affairs of the area after you enter the palace, and take people to secretly take over the four halls of Daqing Palace, Vertical Arch Palace, Yanhe Palace, and Duancheng Palace. β
"Yes!" Although the strength of the ten people is already higher than Lu Guanying, they still replied respectfully.
Nodding, Lu Guanying glanced at the rest of the people: "The rest of the people followed me to ambush outside the gates of the palace, and once they received the signal, they immediately took over the defense of each gate, and they were not allowed to let the army enter the imperial city." β
Not only is preparations being made here, but at this time, there are also many ministers gathered in Shi Miyuan's mansion, discussing what is going on, but Shi Miyuan seems to be half-asleep and pondering, today is the day to force the palace, the forbidden army in the imperial city and the forbidden army stationed in Lin'an City have the manpower arranged by him, once he succeeds, he will be able to call the wind and rain for decades, but if he fails, it will be the end of the extinction of the life clan. The tea placed next to him had become cold, but it still hadn't moved, and Shi Miyuan was not as calm as he seemed to be.
**At this time, it was also a mess, and now** it was divided into two factions, one part was the eunuch under the control of Xinggong, and the other part was controlled by Zhao Kuo's concubine Empress Yang, Queen Yang and Shi Miyuan conspired together Although Han Yanxuan died, but it was not with Shi Miyuan, at that time, it was because Han Yanxuan said to Zhao Kuo that he wanted Zhao Kuo to abolish Empress Yang, so Empress Yang would cooperate with Shi Miyuan.
In fact, the day before, Shi Miyuan had already sent Hou Shi Gu and Shi to ** to persuade Empress Yang to let her support Zhao Guicheng, but how could Empress Yang agree. They went back and forth seven times to persuade them, but the queen always insisted that it was not possible. In the end, Gu and Shi worshiped and cried: "The soldiers and civilians inside and outside have returned to their hearts, if they don't stand up, disasters will happen, and the queen will have no place to stand."
It turned out that although Xinggong was not mourned at that time, people with some political sense about the emperor's accident had already guessed it, and Empress Yang thought that Xinggong wanted to set up another prince, so she decided to support Shi Miyuan.
When the time of the court is up, the ministers one after another enter the area of the front hall from the main gate of Li and then through the Nangong Gate, the solemn atmosphere makes people feel slightly depressed, usually colleagues will chat after meeting each other, but now no one speaks, as if there is something good on the ground, all the people all bow their heads as if they have made an appointment and hurriedly walk towards the position of "Daqing Palace".
This Daqing Hall is located in the South Palace Gate, is the place of the Great Dynasty, usually in addition to the ceremony, change the Yuan, sacrifice and other major events generally this hall is no one to come, the usual court will not be in the Daqing Palace.
Shi Miyuan walked in front of the ministers, but today there was an extra teenager among these ministers, and he was hugged by several ministers behind him and walked towards the Daqing Palace.
There were two eunuchs standing in front of the hall of Daqing Palace, and when they saw Shi Miyuan coming with people, one of them hurriedly ran to the back, and the other hurriedly greeted him, facing the people below: "The ministers don't go to the court, how did they come to this Daqing Palace?"
Before Shi Miyuan could speak, he heard a minister in the crowd scold: "What are you? You dare to stop the ministers, and you don't retreat quickly." β
The eunuch stretched out his hand as if he hadn't heard it, and said, "No one is allowed to enter the Daqing Hall without an order from the official, don't the ministers know?"
"What are you talking about him! It's these eunuchs who are in power, everyone follow me to pull this person away. One of them rushed up and wanted to pull the little eunuch away, the two of them were suddenly torn together, and a few ministers came up behind, one of them took the wat board in his hand and smashed it on the face of the little eunuch, this time the little eunuch was directly stunned, the wat board was full of bloodstains, and the two people pulled the little eunuch directly to the side, and the rest of the people didn't care about the eunuch pushed open the door of the Daqing Hall and walked in.
In the center of the Daqing Hall is the dragon chair that symbolizes the imperial power, although the Daqing Hall has not been used for a long time, but the ground is still as clean as new, a group of ministers came in and stood according to the position, among which Shi Miyuan, who was standing in the front row, pushed a young man who was still sluggish and said: "Don't go up yet?"
The ministers below who were with Shi Miyuan all frowned when they saw this scene, but now was a critical time, and they didn't have much to say. After all, the battles in the court are all for the country, but the eunuchs in the palace cannot be allowed to take power.
Just when the boy trembled and wanted to walk up, a loud shout rang out: "Who dares?"
Xing Gong hurriedly walked in with five or six eunuchs, and the shout came from his mouth, because of the use of internal strength, the sound was deafening in the entire Daqing Palace, and the young man was already a little frightened at this time, and after hearing this shout, he actually fell directly to the ground.
Shi Miyuan frowned and glanced at the young man, but scolded in his heart, "Rubbish!" But he said to Xing Gong: "Oh! It's the head of the line, the head of the line is not there, why do you come to the front hall?"
Xing Gong glanced around and said, "Who gave you the right to proclaim the emperor without permission? Do you want to rebel?"
Shi Miyuan was suddenly a little speechless, since Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin added the yellow robe, he has been preventing all the people below from learning from him, so he got the back cup of wine to release the military power, and the ministers of the imperial court have no right to participate in the prince's affairs, not to mention that the forbidden army in the imperial city has no right to be transferred even by the Privy Council.
Just when Shi Miyuan didn't know how to answer, he heard a life-saving voice: "It's the palace!" At this time, at the door of the Daqing Palace, a group of eunuchs and palace maids walked in with Queen Yang in their arms.
"The first emperor died, you don't mourn, now the prince doesn't know what to do, as the saying goes, the country can't be without a king for a day, is there any conspiracy for you to stop like this?"
"Who said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is missing? Not long ago, the Emperor had already met with the Crown Prince, and made an edict for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend the throne. As he spoke, Xing Gong also took out a secret decree.
Shi Miyuan said: "The first emperor doesn't know when he died, maybe this secret decree was forged by your head of the line, what is your intention in repeatedly blocking the emperor's accession to the throne?"
Shi Miyuan helped Zhao Guicheng on the ground up and said, "Don't go yet!" Zhao Guicheng seemed to be very afraid that Shi Miyuan's body trembled, and hurriedly walked towards the dragon chair.
As soon as the figure moved, Xinggong had already stopped in front of Zhao Guicheng and said, "Shi Miyuan, do you want to resist the decree and disrespect the ministers?"
"Haha! I think you want to rebel! Fortunately, the old man has made arrangements. As Shi Miyuan's words fell, he heard the sound of metal resonating and the sound of many people walking, and a lot of forbidden troops ran out from the back of the Daqing Palace, and the leader was the commander of the front division of the palace.
"No wonder!" Xing Gong sighed in his heart, he didn't know that the forbidden army was mixed in this Daqing Palace, it turned out that it was the commander of the front division of the palace who rebelled, thinking that some time ago, when Zhao Kuo was reincarnated, because they were both responsible for the emperor's safety, the two of them were still drinking and chatting together.
With a slight arch of his hand, Commander Zhu said to Xing Gong: "I didn't expect the head of the line to act rebelliously, and the official still didn't believe it when he received the order from Master Shi, it's really impermanent!"
This Zhu Commander can do the command of the entire palace front division, but the martial arts are not weak, and he is also a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, and he also feels that there are several masters in the crowd. What's more, Xinggong can't do it now, otherwise he won't be able to clear his name no matter what.
"Haha! This Daqing Hall is really lively. Zhuge Guanlan said with a folding fan in his hand. If it weren't for the soldiers with crossbows in the back, he wouldn't have dared to be so arrogant.
Empress Yang pointed at Zhuge Guanlan and said, "Who are you?" At the same time, her eyes swept towards Xinggong.
Xing Gong slightly relieved his heart, after all, if there were no other people to restrain these people, if he forcibly supported Zhao Guicheng, he would have nothing to do, and when he saw Zhuge Guanlan arrive, he knew that Zhao Tiancheng should be soon. However, if he knew that the notice he told Zhao Tiancheng to come back quickly did not work, Zhao Tiancheng went to Peach Blossom Island instead, and I don't know how he would feel.
He bowed to Queen Yang and said respectfully: "I am a guest of His Royal Highness the Prince." β
It's the crown prince again, Queen Yang frowned, since the prince disappeared a few years ago, there has been no news of the prince, why did he suddenly appear now. Although he is not the biological mother of the prince, if the prince is still alive, she will not support this Zhao Guicheng, who has nothing to do with it.
As soon as Shi Miyuan saw the hesitant look in Empress Yang's eyes, he knew that he was going to be harshly said: "Nonsense! How many years has the prince been missing, who can prove that the prince is still alive?"
"I!" A firm voice came from behind the forbidden army behind Zhuge Guanlan.
