Chapter 499 Father and Son Meet

In the courtyard outside the palace, there were flashes of swords and screams one after another. ׺°”˜˜`”°º×

In the dark night, the menacing man in black rushed straight to the palace gate like he was desperate.

The Imperial Guards outside the palace were on guard and fighting with the men in black.

It must be said that the strength of the imperial army in this palace should not be underestimated. As a close friend of Emperor Zhao, this Forbidden Army is top-notch in terms of personal strength and tacit cooperation.

Under their formation, they blocked the waves of attacks from the men in black.

However, as the lights outside the hall gradually turned on, the firelight shone brightly.

Not far away, rows of heavily armed Imperial Guards appeared outside the palace.

At this time, someone finally realized something was wrong.

"What do you want to do? Are you going to rebel?!"

When he saw the imperial guards in the palace at the same time, they fought against each other and targeted their own people.

At this time, everyone present was almost unresponsive.

"kill!"

There was no reply, only the light of the sword in the darkness, and along with the smell of blood in the air, a chilling air filled the world.

…

"Your Majesty, the prince has rebelled. He has instigated a large number of forbidden troops in the palace and now surrounds us in the health palace..."

As soon as the news came out, the expressions of everyone present changed.

Especially Emperor Zhao, his face was even more gloomy and terrifying.

"Rebellion? Treason, he is so brave!"

Emperor Zhao was furious.

He had long seen Zhao Jing's ambition and knew some of his actions over the years. But I didn't expect that he would be so courageous.

He actually wanted to kill his father? !

At this moment, Emperor Zhao, who had calculated everything, never thought that one day his son would rebel against him.

What puzzled him even more was that Zhao Jing had been under house arrest in the palace for a long time, so how could he...

However, this is no longer the time to think so much.

"Your Majesty, please leave here as soon as possible. Leave through the secret passage. I will do my best to buy time for Your Majesty!"

The general raised his hands and said anxiously.

The prince had rebelled, and he was shocked to learn the news.

But there is no time to think so much at this moment. The prince’s goal is His Majesty, and His Majesty’s safety must be protected at this time.

At this time, the prince's soldiers and horses have surrounded the Health Palace. No one knows how many forbidden troops the prince has instigated, nor how much preparation he has made. At this late night, the outside was crowded with the prince's people.

It is dangerous for Your Majesty to stay here. You must let Your Majesty come in and leave, waiting for reinforcements.

…

Emperor Zhao was obviously aware of this. He looked out the window with slightly gloomy eyes. He could vaguely see the fire outside the window and the crowds of people.

Faintly, there was the sound of swords clashing and screaming.

His eyes became darker.

"Rebellious son!"

He spoke coldly.

"What's going on outside now?"

"Not sure yet..."

The general gritted his teeth: "The prince incited the Imperial Army to rebel and surrounded the Health Palace. Those who came here are not evil. I'm afraid... there are at least a thousand people!"

There were thousands of people in the palace, and almost half of the imperial army fell into his hands.

Emperor Zhao was shocked and frightened.

Over the years, he had neglected government affairs. Unexpectedly, the traitor would actually reach out to the imperial army.

"Your Majesty, please leave first!"

At this time, the three Taoist priests on the other side had arrived behind the main hall and opened the secret passage.

In the Health Preservation Hall, there is a secret passage prepared by Emperor Zhao. Ever since Li Wushuang forced his way into the palace, Emperor Zhao had become more cautious.

At all times, there must be a way out.

Unexpectedly, I actually used it today!

Emperor Zhao glanced out the window for the last time, flicked his sleeves angrily, and followed the three Taoist priests and several personal eunuchs into the secret passage and left.

Afterwards, the general sealed the secret passage, straightened his clothes, and walked toward the door with firm eyes.

…

Outside the main hall.

The war has almost reached a fever pitch.

In the dark courtyard, figures clashing with swords were everywhere. The Imperial Guards guarding the Health Palace were arrayed like gods of war, killing people and killing Buddhas.

Organized and disciplined, we resisted wave after wave of attacks.

However, there are too many people!

One wave rushed forward but failed, and the next wave rushed forward again.

Under the impact again and again, even if these forbidden troops have experienced hundreds of battles, they will inevitably become tired.

With their absolute superiority in numbers, they could not resist for long. Then he began to show his dejection, and then retreated step by step.

Finally, he was forced into the yard.

"Put down your weapons and surrender, and I will spare your life!"

A cold voice urging surrender came from outside.

The pro-soldiers around Emperor Zhao were looking coldly at the former colleagues around them, and there were even some familiar faces among them. However, today, they are standing on the opposite side of themselves.

"You treacherous officials and traitors will not die a happy death!"

"Even if I die, I will not join in with you!"

"You can't even think of succeeding. When His Majesty's reinforcements arrive, you will definitely die!"

"..."

No one wants to surrender!

Among the crowd, the leader was already a little impatient and waved his hand: "Kill!"

In an instant, countless figures around him rushed forward again.

…

"Your Highness!"

Behind the crowd, a general walked over quickly and said with joy on his face.

"Your Highness, the Health Palace has been taken down by us. The surroundings are also under control. Except for a few people who escaped, the others are all under control."

At this moment, when the people around Zhao Jing heard the news, they all smiled with joy and excitement.

Success?

The plan they have been planning for so long finally succeeded?

For this plan, all of them worked hard and prepared for several years. Today, they finally took down the palace in one fell swoop without giving anyone any chance to react.

It seems simple, but the dangers and difficulties behind it are unbelievable.

Now, the palace has fallen into their hands and is completely under their control.

What does this mean?

It goes without saying!

For a moment, countless eyes fell on Zhao Jing.

However, Zhao Jing's face did not show much joy. He looked up at the Health Palace not far ahead.

"Where is the emperor?"

The general paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is not in the Health Hall. I'm afraid that His Majesty... escaped from the secret passage!"

As soon as these words came out, the smiles on the faces of those who had just laughed froze instantly.

The emperor is missing?

How could he be missing?

We can't let him run away!

If His Majesty runs away, the news that His Royal Highness killed his father will be made public. At that time, the consequences will be disastrous...

"Your Highness, don't worry, we have already gone all out to hunt him down, and he can't get far!"

Zhao Jing's eyes seemed calm and indifferent. He glanced ahead again, and then said indifferently.

"Let's wrap it up and proceed according to the original plan. Remember..."

Zhao Jing paused for a moment, and his voice suddenly became extremely cold.

"We must cut the grass and eradicate it!"

"..."

Tonight's palace is destined to be a sleepless night.

Those eunuchs and palace maids who had already fallen asleep late at night had no idea that a thrilling coup was being launched in the palace.

Except for a few palaces near the Health Palace, no one in the rest of the palace could detect anything unusual.

Even some people who noticed something was wrong had already been controlled by the imperial guards.

The power that Zhao Jing had painstakingly built up for so many years finally came in handy today.

Long ago, he had been infiltrating his power into the palace. He won over the generals of the imperial guards and obtained all the personnel information of the imperial guards.

In addition, His Majesty has been alienated from the government over the years and has almost no influence inside and outside the court.

Therefore, for most of the imperial guards, they are more loyal to their leaders than to His Majesty.

Therefore, this grand palace coup tonight seems a bit ordinary.

For most of the imperial guards, they don’t even know what they are going to do.

…

In a secret room somewhere underground in the palace.

At this moment, Emperor Zhao was in the secret room, his eyes were gloomy and his face was very ugly.

After leaving the Health Hall, he came to this secret room.

This secret room was carefully built by him. No one in the world knew the location of this secret room except him. It can be regarded as absolutely safe and impeccable.

At this time, an old eunuch next to him carefully comforted: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so rebellious and attempted to rebel. His plan will never succeed..."

"Now the news in the palace has probably spread out. Your Majesty only needs to wait patiently for the reinforcements outside the palace, and they can catch all these traitors in one fell swoop..."

Emperor Zhao's eyes were cold.

He was not worried that Zhao Jing's rebellion would pose any threat to him. As long as his life was not threatened, then everything Zhao Jing did would be in vain.

Even if he controlled the palace, even if he instigated all the imperial guards to rebel.

But, so what?

How could he resist the gossip of the world?

Killing his father to ascend to the throne is against the will of heaven, who can tolerate him?

Can he shut up the mouths of civil and military officials and convince everyone in the world?

Once the news of Zhao Jing's rebellion spreads, soldiers from all over the world will come to Beijing to rescue him. They don't even need to come, just outside the capital, there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers from his Da Zhao stationed. Those soldiers are absolutely loyal to him. Once the news in the palace spreads, they will definitely come to rescue him as soon as possible.

Therefore, Emperor Zhao is not worried. The only thing he needs to do now is to wait!

Wait for the reinforcements to arrive and take down all these traitors!

He is just very angry!

Very angry!

Zhao Jing rebelled!

He never thought that his most promising son would rebel at this time!

He is obviously the prince, and the world will be his sooner or later. Why can't he wait for him?

Why does he want to rebel against himself?

At this moment, Emperor Zhao is angry and disappointed!

He has always known that his son is ambitious, so over the years, he has been trying to suppress Zhao Jing's ambition.

He supported Ying'er to check and balance him. In addition to this reason, Ying'er is very talented and is a rare talent.

When one day in the future, after he dies, Zhao Jing will successfully ascend the throne and guard the capital. And Ying'er can lead the Qintian Division to deter the world's villains.

The two of them, one in charge of the interior and the other in charge of the exterior, will surely make his Dazhao's kingdom last forever.

Just like him and his imperial brother back then...

At this moment, Emperor Zhao seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes became gloomy again.

…

The secret room was large and magnificently built, but the atmosphere in the secret room was vaguely uncomfortable.

Depressed.

The eunuchs who followed were uneasy, not knowing what was happening outside.

On the other side, the three Taoist priests seemed very quiet. One of them glanced at His Majesty, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, don't be so angry, worry about your body."

However, Emperor Zhao was in anger at the moment, so how could he listen to so much.

His favorite son betrayed him and rebelled against him, how could he calm down?

No matter what, once today's events were spread, he would definitely become a laughing stock in the world.

Emperor Zhao had a gloomy face, and I don't know if the anger touched his body. His face suddenly changed slightly and he coughed violently twice.

Then, he felt a little dizzy.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

The eunuch next to him saw it and was immediately frightened.

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. Don't be too angry!"

"I, I'm fine..."

Emperor Zhao waved his hand, his face slightly pale.

He was so angry that he was a little impatient. He took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

"I will never forgive this rebellious son!"

Angry tone.

At this moment, a long voice came from the door of another part of the secret room.

"I'm afraid you don't have this chance!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone in the secret room suddenly changed.

Everyone looked at the source of the voice, and in an instant, Emperor Zhao's eyes became fierce.

"Rebellious son!!!"

Not far from the secret room, Zhao Jing's figure appeared in everyone's sight.

No one knew where he came from and how he got here.

At this moment, he looked at everyone in the room calmly, and his eyes finally fell on Emperor Zhao.

Then, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, bowed to Emperor Zhao and said: "Father!"

As usual, his attitude was very respectful and humble.

However, things were different now.

What Zhao Jing's appearance here meant was self-evident.

"You rebellious son!"

Emperor Zhao stared at Zhao Jing with cold eyes: "You dare to do such a rebellious thing, I will not forgive you!"

At this moment, the eunuchs next to him were terrified.

Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appear here?

How did he know this place?

Since he appeared here, then His Majesty must be...

For a moment, these eunuchs were cold all over and trembling.

"You all go out first, I have something to say to my father!"

Zhao Jing spoke calmly.

The eunuchs looked at Emperor Zhao.

Emperor Zhao looked gloomy: "You go out first."

The eunuchs turned around and left, and then the three Taoist priests in another place also left the secret room.

At this moment, only Emperor Zhao and Zhao Jing, a father and son, were left in the secret room.

The father and son looked at each other, and at this moment, it seemed as if time had frozen!

This father and son, as well as the monarch and his subjects, had finally reached this point.
