In the palace.
Chu Feiyang's departure, let everyone first is a sigh of relief, as long as there is the king of Chu, this hard battle will also have the hope of winning.
But the emperor Yuqian, who was sitting in the main hall, still had a gloomy face, so that everyone immediately began to talk again. All of them stood on the main hall trembling, afraid to open their mouth, so as not to be reprimanded.
"The emperor." At this time, Xiaji walked into the main hall quickly, only to see his face dignified, and immediately knelt down in front of Yuqian emperor. "Emperor, the city defense army closed the city gate after the king of Chu left the capital, and blocked all the entrances and exits of the capital."
"What do you say?" Emperor Yuqian's hands on the Dragon chair were suddenly tightened, and the back of his hands was full of blue tendons, which obviously suppressed his great anger.
"Emperor..." Xia Ji knew that the rebellion happened in succession tonight made dragon's heart angry, but now it's true, so he had to repeat what he had just said.
"Pa!" A celadon tea cup was broken into countless pieces in a moment. Emperor Yuqian's face was full of anger, and his eyes were full of sinister light, which scared the courtiers to kneel one after another.
"The emperor, calm down."
"Calm down? How can I calm my anger? In normal times, each brother has love and loyalty, but they don't want to be those who hide evil. They all think about my country and mountains. What a Chen Wang! The city covers such a vast area. The city defense forces in his hands can block all the entrances and exits. I'm afraid that the number of the city defense forces has already exceeded the number stipulated by the imperial court. He is still acting in front of me. He personally sent the bird talisman to me to let me relax my vigilance against him. With such sinister intentions, I owe him such trust. But he didn't want to turn his face and then he didn't recognize people. He actually took advantage of the fire when the whole sea mutiny took place. As a minister in the imperial court, I support you with millions of liang of silver every year. No one among you even knows it. It's really my good minister. What are you doing except fighting for power, seizing profits and seizing people's land? " The Dragon Court of Yuqian emperor was furious, but he stood up and pointed to the courtiers below.
"Emperor, Weichen begged the emperor to hide for a while, so as not to be hurt by the thieves. We will discuss everything when the king of Chu comes back." Xiaji's cold sweat fell into his clothes, but he still opened his mouth to beg Yuqian emperor to avoid the war for a while, so as not to be hurt by the rebels.
"Hide? Where can I hide? There is sea outside the city. There is river Muchen in the city. Where do you want me to hide? Now Chu Feiyang is also locked out of the city. I'm afraid that he's also worried. I'll wait for him to save him. I'm afraid that I'll be a heap of dead bones by then. " The anger in emperor Yuqian's heart was rising instead of falling. His bloodshot eyes were staring at the servants below. He wished he could pull out all the rubbish and cut it down.
"Emperor, for the sake of today's plan, we have to hold the Palace first. Chen Wang's move tonight is obviously to take advantage of the opportunity. Only when we gather all the guards in the palace can we have a chance to wait for the reinforcements of the king of Chu. What's more, according to the emperor's words just now, the number of the city defense forces in Chen Wang's hands is only afraid that it has been expanded dozens of times, and the number of the forbidden guards can be up to 80000. How can we fight him? What's more, there are thousands of people in puguo nunnery to protect concubine Rong Xian. We can't fight with King Chen to avoid more casualties. " At this time, Qu Lingao persuades the emperor. Although it's really harmful to Tianjia's authority to let the emperor take refuge, but now the situation is grim, they have to. Otherwise, don't say that the courtiers in this hall will be bloody red carpet, for fear that Yuqian emperor will die.
"Emperor, Weichen agreed with Lord Qu. For the sake of today's plan, we can only take the long view if we keep our strength first. " At this time, even the ever silent Duanwang joined the ranks of persuasion.
"The emperor, the minister seconded."
"The emperor, the minister seconded."
"The emperor, the minister seconded."
At the beginning of the two, everyone began to cry and beg emperor Yuqian to take refuge.
Looking at the following group of greedy and scared courtiers, Yuqian's face was red, and his fingers were hard on them, but he couldn't speak.
"Emperor Emperor No... " At this time, a little eunuch with blood stained face ran into the hall. He stumbled over the hall, but he stumbled over the high threshold. He could only climb into the hall and crawl on the ground and cried: "emperor, it's not good."
"What's so flustered? Don't you see anything wrong with the emperor? " When Yu Gonggong saw that emperor Yuqian was very angry, he shouted at the eunuch.
But the little eunuch was scolded by Yu Gonggong, but the cry became louder. "Emperor, Chen Wang's army has come into the palace. Now, he is fighting with the guards at the gate of the palace. The guards are killed and injured countless times, Emperor..."
"Emperor..." Before the little eunuch's voice had dissipated in the main hall, people heard a cry from Yu Gonggong.
But emperor Yuqian suddenly spits out a mouthful of blood. In the past, his tall body swayed back and forth for several times, until Gonggong Yu held him firmly, which stabilized his body.
"Please hide in the underground palace as soon as possible, and Weichen will swear to protect the emperor." Haggi stood up and his sword was out of its sheath.
When they heard this, they all drew close to Emperor Yuqian and walked towards the underground palace with him.
But don't want to, the jade Qian emperor actually is one hand whisks away Yu Gonggong's support, quickly grabs the sword on one side, angrily way: "I want to see what ability Jiang Muchen has, dare to think of my Jiangshan, such disorderly subjects and thieves don't get rid of, can't dispel my heart big hate."At the end of the speech, he saw the Jade Emperor and walked out of the hall
This action scared the ministers in the hall, only heard a sound of clothes. All the ministers knelt all over the hall in a moment. They cried together: "please think twice, please think twice, please think twice, please think twice..."
"The emperor, the arrow at the gate of the palace doesn't have eyes. How can the emperor's dragon body be threatened? Please go to the underground palace to escape for a moment, and wait for Weichen to fight back Chen Wang's army, and then pick up the emperor. The emperor is a member of all the people of Xichu. How can he commit danger by himself? In case of any accident of the emperor, how can Weichen explain to the people of the world? " Said, Xiaji simply and decisively knelt down in front of Yuqian emperor, swore that Yuqian emperor would not answer his request, and he would not get up.
"Look at the emperor and think twice..." A group of old ministers were already crying and kowtowing for their lives, hoping that emperor Yuqian could change his mind.
"Come, report to the Empress Dowager and empress, and let them go to the underground palace to take refuge immediately. Fifty thousand people were left to protect the Empress Dowager. The rest of them followed me to the palace gate. If anyone dared to block my way, I would kill him immediately! " In the moonlight, the sword body radiated cold light, which made people's heart and soul cold. Yuqian emperor was cold and solemn. He never looked at all the ministers and Xiaji, but led Yu Gonggong to walk out of the hall and towards the palace gate.
How dare Xiaji let Yuqian face ChenWang's army alone and watch Yuqian step out of the hall? Xiaji is already in a cold sweat. He stands up hurriedly and quickly catches up with Yuqian and guards him.
"What should I do, Lord Duan and Yunxiang?" Minister Yigan can't make emperor Yuqian turn back when he asks for his order. Everyone is anxious but helpless. He can only turn his eyes to Duanwang and Yunxuan at the front, hoping that they can come up with a complete solution.
Duan Wang stood up straight and saw that the figure of Yuqian emperor had disappeared in the dark night. Then he turned his eyes to Qu Lingao and calmly opened his mouth. "Hou ye, go to inform the Empress Dowager and you will have it. As a foreign minister, we are inconvenient to enter the harem. The Marquis is is the Empress Dowager's brother, but we have less concerns. I'd like to ask the Marquis to lead the Empress Dowager and others to the underground palace to take refuge, so as not to frighten the ladies in the palace. "
Qu Lingao knew the concerns of Duanwang. Seeing the calm appearance of Duanwang in danger, Qu Lingao admired him very much. He bowed his hand to Duanwang and said: "don't worry, Wang Ye."
At the end of the speech, Qu Lingao turns around and strides towards the outside of the hall.
Seeing that Qu Lingao is decisive and doesn't waste any time, Duan Wang's eyes are full of praise, but seeing that all the ministers standing in the hall are greedy for life and afraid of death, Duan Wang's heart is slightly annoyed, and immediately speaks out in a righteous voice, "you adults, we are ministers in the court, taking the salary from the court, we should be Share your worries with the emperor. How can we let the emperor face Chen Wang and other rebels in the face of great difficulties
"But Wang Ye, we civil servants, even if we go to fight with Chen Wang with the emperor, I'm afraid it won't work, but It's just a life of one's own... " A minister in the end of the king's voice after landing, hurried to speak. Seeing his eyes twinkling and avoiding, he was afraid to face Wang lingran's line of sight. I think he was very afraid.
But Duan Wang was not angry, but a sneer appeared on his calm face in the past, and then he said loudly: "do you think that although the emperor will lose his life if he goes to the entrance of the palace, and if he hides in the underground palace, his life will be saved? If so, I will never stop you! But here, my king made it clear. All the guards in the palace are forbidden. The most important thing at this time is to protect the safety of the emperor. Naturally, there is no extra guard to protect the safety of all the adults. And, if God had no eyes to let Chen Wang break in, do you think Chen Wang would let you go? Even if you are lucky enough to leave your life behind, you will not get the trust of the new king and be laughed at by the people all over the world if you are greedy for life and afraid of death and ignore the old lord! This is what I have said. I will not ask you where you are going. "
At the end of the speech, Duan Wang stopped looking at any expression. He led the guards to step out of the hall and walked towards the direction where the Jade Emperor disappeared.
Yun xuanzhi and Wen came to see each other, and they followed immediately. Their faces were calm and solemn. Although they were literati, they had a murderous look, which made people tremble.
The rest of the ministers saw that several important ministers had left. After thinking about the last words of Duanwang, they realized that they were right, and they kept up with each other.
The closer you get to the gate of the palace, the more clear the sound of cutting and killing is outside. The sound of pleading for mercy from unarmed palace people is everywhere. You can even hear the sound of blood spraying on the palace wall. The sound of weapons is even more harsh.
Out of the inner palace, the strong smell of blood came, making everyone frown. It seems that Chen Wang was really killing.
"The rest of the people, divided into four teams, went to support the four gates respectively, and could not put anyone in." Xiaji carefully divided the guards with less than 30000 in his hands into four teams. He defended Yuqian emperor and led a team of guards to the direction of Duanmen.
But before Xiaji could get close to the Duanmen, he saw that there was a trend of being broken. Xiaji hurriedly ordered the guards behind him: "hurry up, get the stakes, and be sure to stand against the palace gate. Don't let Chen Wang step into the palace."As long as they keep the gate, they are afraid of being saved. But if Chen Wang breaks through the Palace door, the less than 80000 people can't resist Chen Wang. At that time, no one in the palace can survive.
"Yes!" A column of one hundred men immediately separated from the headquarters and went to support the guards who were defending the palace gate.
"Go up to the palace." Emperor Yuqian was so hateful that he raised his feet and stepped on the steps of the palace building. He was not afraid of the arrows coming from everywhere and bravely went up.
When Xia Ji saw that emperor Yuqian was already furious, he went to the palace building regardless of his own safety. For a while, he was frightened by the move of emperor Yuqian, and then he led several deputies behind him to follow him to the palace building.
King Duan and others saw the figure of emperor Yuqian going to the palace building from afar. They were very anxious and rushed to the palace building with their robes. Until they stood behind the emperor Yuqian, they saluted him breathlessly
"No need to be polite." Emperor Yuqian's attention has long been focused on the countless chenwangjun outside the palace. He looks at the dark and standing chenwangjun outside the palace. He also sees Jiang Muchen, with his armor and horse back, commanding the army to attack the palace. Emperor Yuqian can't bear to feel his blood flowing back.
Duan Wang and his party also followed closely and looked out of the palace. Looking down from a high place, they really saw Chen Wang leading the army to attack the Duanmen.
The end gate is the main gate of the imperial palace. If the end gate is broken, the east gate, the west gate and the north gate will also face the situation of being broken. Therefore, the task of the guard is to guard the end gate and never let Chen Wang break it.
After a wave of arrows came from the gate of the palace, Xia Ji did not care about the dignity of the dragon. He pulled the Jade Emperor in one hand and blocked him with one man's strength. It not only blocked the sight of Chen Wang and others who found the Jade Emperor, but also protected the safety of the Jade Emperor.
"Xia Ji, the deputy commander of the forbidden guards, saw his highness Chen. I don't know why the prince would lead the soldiers to attack the palace in the night? Does the Lord want to rebel Taking advantage of Chen Wang's retreat from the first wave of attack, Xia Ji raised a voice to question Chen Wang, who was sitting on the horse's back. The words could kill Chen Wang.
Hearing this, Jiang Muchen raised his head slightly and saw Xia Ji standing on the palace floor. With a sneer in his cold eyes, he began in a deep voice. "Tonight, the sea king changed. I heard about this in the imperial mausoleum and was very worried. I rushed back to the capital to protect the emperor. Why did Vice Commander Xia stop the king from entering the palace? Do you want to put the emperor in danger? Or do you collude with Haiquan to murder the emperor? "
Jiang Muchen asked, blocking Xiaji's heart, and said angrily: "King Chen, you are bleeding. I would have been loyal to the emperor. Would I have done such things as betraying the Lord and his son? You don't have to worry about the left and the right. You want to avoid the problems of the general. "
"Is it bloody? Let's see if vice commander Xia opens the Palace door." Chen Wang holds on to this topic, trying to provoke Xiaji with words and let him open the Palace door for himself.
"Well, Lord, do you think this trick would have been fooled? How could I be loyal? The emperor has a clear account in his heart, so he doesn't worry about it. Today, there are city defense forces of Wang Ye outside the capital city and forbidden guards inside. Even if the sea king rebelled, but the king of Chu had led his soldiers to denounce, he would be captured alive in a few days. Wang ye would better go back to the Chen palace to wait for good news. " Does Xia Ji lose his head because of Jiang Muchen's three words and two words, swallowing the anger that was wronged? Xia Ji is calm and doesn't have to go to Jiang Muchen at all.
"Is it? Vice Commander Xia is really loyal. But this day the king will go into the palace and be holy. Imperial concubine Yuande went to the imperial mausoleum to guard the tomb for the first emperor, but was stabbed in the mausoleum. The king wanted to ask the emperor why he didn't ensure the safety of the imperial concubine? Why does Princess Rong Xian have thousands of forbidden guards to protect her in puguo nunnery, and there is no one else beside her except an old mother? Where does the emperor place our mother and son? Do you want Princess Yuande to die in the imperial mausoleum? " The sharp rhetorical question calmed the sporadic fighting that had just been going on. Jiang Muchen looked at Xiaji on the palace floor with a cold face, and his hawk like eyes were full of hatred and chill.
"The emperor did this, which totally chilled our soldiers' hearts." At this time, Chen Wang behind the team, someone shouted loudly.
This immediately reminded other people that all hands were holding a long contradiction card to denounce the Jade Emperor in the palace. Only Chen Wang's side was so powerful and angry that there was a tendency to attack again.
Xia Ji frowned. Although he knew that Chen Wang was a difficult person, he didn't want to fight with him. It was such a headache.
"Did the Lord investigate it? The emperor paid attention to the concubine and the prince. He had already ordered the Minister of punishment to go with him in the cold phase? And hurt the brotherhood between the emperor and the prince? " Hagrid's brain was running very fast, trying to put off time.
"Xiaji, you are the man of Yuqian emperor. Naturally, you speak for him. To be fair, Emperor Yuqian sent Hanche and Qu Changqing to the imperial mausoleum with the king. Is it really to investigate the injury of Taifei? He merely sent two eyes to stare at this king to prevent any action by the king. He really deceives people too much. When the king visits his mother and concubine, he even sends people to watch over them. Can he take into account the brotherhood between the king and him? " Jiang Muchen sneers at it, and looks at Xiaji's eyes with a cold air that can't melt."Chen Wang, you have the courage to tell me what you just said again." But I don't want to. Emperor Yuqian was furious when he heard Jiang Muchen's right and wrong. But he also knew that the more angry he was, the more favorable he was to Jiang Muchen. Under the pressure of his anger, Emperor Yuqian pushed away Xiaji, who was in front of him, and asked in a cold voice. He shot at Jiang Muchen's eyes, which were full of fierce and murderous Qi.
For a while, the two sides of the confrontation immediately calmed down.
Especially Chen Wang and others, who could have thought that the Jade Emperor came to the palace building at this time, and even hid behind Xiaji, waiting to catch the loopholes in Chen Wang's words.
In the moonlight, the bright yellow Dragon Robe of emperor Yuqian stabbed Jiang Muchen's eyes, only to see the red blood on the bottom of his eyes. He said: "what makes the emperor so timid? Hiding behind the deputy commander of the guard. If such a scene is publicized, the emperor's power will become the laughingstock of the world
While talking, Chen Wang's corner of the eye coolly sweeps Ning Feng aside, as if to indicate something.
"Your ambition is to bite me back. King Chen, you are a good schemer. You cheated me in the past. Now you want to frame me for treating your mother and son badly. Are you not afraid of retribution for your cold-blooded and merciless? " If it is possible, Emperor Yuqian would hate to eat Chen Wang alive at this time. The long sword in his hand was even more forcefully cut on the bricks and stones of the city tower, and expressed his hatred like Chen Wang.
"Hum, how does the emperor treat our mother and son? Do you need my explanation? Our mother and son have lived in the shadow of the emperor's oppression for many years. They are afraid of being caught in the wrong way and killed by others. Isn't it thanks to the emperor? In order to humiliate the king, the emperor even forced him to marry the crazy woman. How did the emperor treat the king? Can't anyone else see it without their eyes? " Jiang Muchen sneered, and then Longsheng told everyone about his pain. He didn't give Yuqian any face.
"Well, you are really powerful. After so many years of gratitude, resentment and resentment, you have hidden all your indifferent faces in your heart, taking advantage of the fire and looting during the mutiny of the whole sea. It's worthy of your name! But why don't you think about it? If it's not for your mother and son who are pressing me step by step, why am I always guarding you? " Emperor Yuqian laughed angrily. His fierce eyes swept the army behind Chen Wang, who was downstairs of the palace. His left hand, which was tightly squeezed into a fist, made a sound of crisp bones.
"Seven brothers, why are you so persistent? Don't you want Haiquan to see our royal jokes? " At this time, Duan Wang also stood by the city wall and looked coldly at Chen Wang below. His eyes touched the army under Chen Wang's command. When Duan Wang's heart was cold, there was a slight crease in his eyebrow.
"Big brother still pays attention to face like this." Unexpectedly, Duan Wang's persuasion is only Chen Wang's cynicism.
In the dark night, outside the palace building, there was a flash of cold light, hidden in the hundreds of thousands of Chen Wang's army with danger.
"Emperor, be careful..." But I didn't want to. Xiaji, who had been guarding Yuqian, rushed to him and threw him to the ground.
Duan Wang was also pulled back by a guard
At the same time, a sharp arrow roared from the position where emperor Yuqian and Emperor Duan stood, straight Cha into the column behind
Emperor Yuqian was so angry that he got up and rushed to the front, but was stopped by Duan Wang.
I saw Duan Wang carefully look down near the wall, but found that Chen Wang Duan sat on horseback, with a sneer on his face, just like that moment's killing was just a small thing.
