Chapter 584: Melee

"Princess, Xiao Cheng is leading his troops to the palace. Han Zheng, Liang Cheng and others have all left the capital. The Xie family has also taken action. Their people have taken control of the west gate of the palace and the north gate of Jinling, preparing to rescue the emperor.��

In the pavilion of Prince Chun's mansion, a woman in green is reporting to Liu Yanyu about the current chaos in Jinling.

"What is Prince Chun doing?" Liu Yanyu did not answer, but asked.

"After we spread the news, the prince went to see General Wei." The woman said.

Liu Yanyu frowned slightly, "Jinling is in chaos, he is taking the opportunity to save the emperor, this dead fish head, why is he so loyal to Zhao Heng, the tyrant?"

After a pause, he said: "But Zhao Heng is not stupid enough. He let Wei Zheng pretend to surrender to Xiao Cheng in his early years. Now it can finally be put to use. The drama in Jinling City is getting more and more interesting. ”

When the news of the victory of the Ningjindusi of the Prince of Yan came, she decided to make the secret of the Dou family public.

Some time ago, the Prince of Yan was controlled by the Northern Di, and there was a plague rampant in Yanzhou.

Officially provoking a war between the royal family and the powerful families, I am afraid that the royal family will lose completely.

But now, she thinks the time has come.

First, the Northern Di suffered a heavy blow and will no longer pose a threat to the Prince of Yan in a short time.

Second, it also made her see the strength of the Prince of Yan.

She wants to use the power of the Prince of Yan to eliminate all the powerful families who participated in the murder of the Prince of Jin.

So, while Dou Wei was summoning the powerful families to the villa, she immediately spread the news.

And sent the evidence to Queen Xie to let the Xie family know that this is not a rumor, but a fact.

So , the secret could not be concealed, Dou Wei could only take the risk.

The Xie family has always sought stability and did not want Dasong to be in turmoil, so that the eldest prince could inherit the throne smoothly.

Facing the turmoil caused by Dou Wei, the Xie family would definitely fight back.

At that time, if Dou Wei failed, he would definitely flee back to Jingzhou to establish himself.

If the Xie family failed, Dou Wei would not have gained the position legitimately, and other powerful families would also take the opportunity to establish themselves.

In short, no matter what, her goal was achieved.

Only when the world was in chaos, the King of Yan could not stay in a corner, and could only be led into this chaos in Dasong by her.

As she was thinking, a servant came hurriedly and said to Liu Yanyu: "Princess, the prince asked you to go to Jinling Wharf immediately. The boat has been prepared there and will take the princess to Yanzhou."

"Yanzhou? "Liu Yanyu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, thinking: "So that's it, this is their plan, hum, well, let Zhao Heng, the tyrant, live a little longer, so that Dasong will be more chaotic, and the King of Yan will have to fight at that time."

...

At the same time.

The west gate of the palace.

There was a sound of killing here.

As soon as Zhao Heng and Queen Xie arrived at the west gate, a palace guard came and blocked their way.

The general who led this guard was Xiao Qian, a general of the Xiao family.

Seeing this, Queen Xie immediately ordered Xie An to lead the troops to kill.

Taking advantage of the chaos, she ordered the soldiers to protect Zhao Heng and Concubine Mi on the carriage, and rushed to the north gate under the protection of the cavalry.

Not long after the carriage left the palace gate, Xiao Cheng arrived with a large group of people.

Looking at the palace guards who were fighting, his face was as cold as ice, and he said to the generals around him: "Chase! Those who capture the emperor and Concubine Mi will be rewarded with 100,000 taels of silver and be granted the title of Marquis of Wanhu! "

The generals were excited when they heard this, and a large number of cavalrymen rode away. Xiao Cheng also followed, leaving only a group of people to help Xiao Qian fight against Xie An's imperial guards.

Jinling was prosperous, and the streets were crowded with people.

Queen Xie's carriage could not run at full speed, and it slowed down from time to time to avoid pedestrians.

Compared to carriages, cavalrymen were more flexible on the streets.

Soon, the pursuing cavalry found the carriage, and the cavalrymen whipped their whips and urged the horses forward.

In the carriage, Queen Xie sat on the left and Zhao Heng sat on the right.

Looking like they were about to catch up Empress Xie summoned more and more cavalry and kept urging the grooms to go faster.

Zhao Heng looked at the street, as if expecting something.

Originally, he had been carefully maintaining the balance between the royal family and the powerful families.

Because he knew that as long as the balance was not broken, the powerful families and the King of Yan were under his control.

But he never expected that a few months ago, the news of the plague in Yanzhou suddenly reached Jinling.

Through investigation, the powerful families determined that the King of Yan could not survive the plague, so they decisively killed the generals of the imperial guards he promoted and took control of the palace.

He, the great Song The emperor was sidelined overnight and became a puppet of the powerful families.

The government affairs of Dasong no longer passed directly through his hands, but were directly reviewed by the cabinet composed of powerful families.

Since then, he has been completely disappointed with the powerful families and planned to escape from the capital and go to Yanzhou.

Maybe the King of Yan didn't like him, but they were father and son after all.

He didn't ask the King of Yan to be respectful to him, but only asked to spend the rest of his life in Yanzhou in peace.

For this reason, he summoned Prince Chun many times, nominally to find him to relieve his boredom, but actually to plan to escape from Jinling through him.

Over the years, Prince Chun has been In front of outsiders, he only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, and almost fooled everyone.

Only he knew that Prince Chun was not stupid, and he did not give him the name Prince Chun to humiliate him intentionally.

Instead, he deliberately created the illusion that he looked down on Prince Chun.

The most important thing was that Prince Chun had an important handle in his hand.

Even if the whole world betrayed him, Prince Chun would not betray him.

Otherwise, even if he died, someone would spread his handle.

Therefore, he asked Prince Chun to secretly find Wei Hao, whom he had planted next to Xiao Cheng, and plan to escape.

Unexpectedly, before this plan was implemented, Jinling was in chaos because of Dou Wei's incident.

He believed that with Prince Chun's intelligence, he would have gone to find Wei Hao now.

After all, this was a rare opportunity for them.

While in the palace, he reminded Liang Cheng again.

When the battle at Ximen just now happened, Liang Cheng took the opportunity to send a small eunuch to find Prince Chun.

Concubine Mi was caught between Zhao Heng and Empress Xie, panicking and confused.

She knew that something big had happened in Jinling, and she might die in the chaos next.

When she thought of this, she suddenly thought of Zhao Xu and burst into tears.

Now, her only regret was that she could not see Zhao Xu again.

While thinking about it in the bumpy carriage, the carriage suddenly stopped suddenly and the whole carriage fell to the ground.

Then she heard loud metal collisions, screams and roars.

Climbing out of the carriage, he saw two groups of people fighting, and the nearby people screamed and fled, in a mess.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a strong force coming, and she was dragged into the chaotic crowd.

She was about to scream, and suddenly a voice said: "Don't be afraid, my queen, we are the people of King Yan."

After that, he pulled Concubine Mi away and disappeared in the crowd.

Zhao Heng and Queen Xie both fell a little embarrassed.

At the critical moment, they didn't think of Concubine Mi.

When the two were at a loss, a general rushed out, dragged Zhao Heng onto the horse and left.

Queen Xie, who was guarding the carriage, was also lifted up by the Xie family cavalry and headed towards the north gate.
