Take a Day Off

The Mid-Autumn Festival feast was a scene of peace and prosperity. No one dared to cause trouble at today's ceremony, whether it was the civil and military officials or the envoys of the vassal states.

The retired emperor, the emperor, and the princes and princes showed a touching scene of fatherly love and filial piety, which made the retired emperor, who had been suffering from illness for many days, feel much better. He gave away all the gifts he received on the opportunity of examining the homework of the emperor's grandson.

Just when the hall was full of joy, the eunuch guarding the door suddenly ran in and said, "Your Majesty, Jia Lian rebelled! He led his troops to attack..."

With a bang, everyone in the hall was stunned!

Those who were on good terms with Rongguo Mansion were all in disbelief. Jia Lian rebelled? If the Jia family wanted to rebel, they couldn't have imprisoned themselves and become monks back then. Why wait until now? Of course, the Jia family led the governor of the Beijing camp and the general of Yansui Town, and there were 100,000 soldiers and horses under their command.

Being implicated by the anger of the retired emperor, not only did the Jia family's title be abolished, but they were also suppressed for so many years without any rebellion. You told me that Jia Lian rebelled, what's the matter?

"I, Jia Lian, am here to see you by order. The Dragon Guards have completely controlled all the entrances and exits of the Fengtian Palace. Please give your instructions, Your Majesty!"

The silence in the hall just supported the noise outside the hall. Jia Lian's voice came in clearly. Everyone looked at the emperor on the Danbi, and saw that his mouth corners were slightly raised, and he looked like he had a good idea.

"What are you panicking about? Jia Lian was specially recruited into the palace by me to protect the safety of you!"

The emperor whispered to the somewhat surprised retired emperor that someone was going to rebel, and then said to Xia Shouzhong: "Go and summon Jia Lian."

"Fourth brother, who is going to rebel?" The retired emperor was a little allergic to the word rebellion. The sin he committed when he was confused made his sons, except for the foolish old ninth brother, have thoughts that they shouldn't have. Therefore, he was particularly sensitive to the rebellion.

The emperor whispered to the emperor about the investigation of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the news sent back by Wang Ziteng, and then told about his own arrangements, and finally comforted: "Father, don't worry, everything is under the control of your son. It is estimated that the army of the Beijing Camp has almost arrived outside the imperial city."

As he was speaking, Jia Lian, wearing armor and holding sharp weapons, followed Xia Shouzhong to the hall, knelt on one knee, and bowed loudly: "I, Jia Lian, the Dragon Guards Pacification Envoy, greet the saint and your majesty. I am ordered to lead the troops into the palace to protect the emperor. Two thousand Dragon Guards have completely controlled all exits of the Fengtian Hall. Please give instructions!"

Everyone in the hall focused their eyes on Jia Lian, who was half-kneeling on the ground. Some envied him, some were jealous, and there were also many people who feared and hated him.

Being trusted by the emperor to lead troops into the palace to protect the emperor proved that Jia Lian's future was bright.

"No need to be polite, Jia Qing. Those who are capable should do more work. Today, the safety of my father, me and all the other ministers is in your hands!"

Jia Lian patted his chest and replied: "Your Majesty, rest assured. I and the Dragon Guards are here. We will never tolerate the scoundrels and will protect the safety of the two saints and all the adults!"

Xia Shouzhong presented the golden order that he had prepared long ago. Jia Lian bowed to the two saints, and then came to the outside of the hall with the golden order: "By order, all generals, listen. Without the order of your majesty and this general, no one is allowed to approach the three halls. Those who violate the order will be killed without mercy!"

...

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three cannons were fired, and the whole capital was frightened by the shocking explosion of the cannons!

Liu Qian, the commander of the Left Guard, suddenly came to the camp today and took out a roll of bright yellow imperial edict. It was said that someone in the capital was rioting, and the emperor secretly ordered troops to serve the king.

The imperial edict seemed to be true, and the two deputy generals could not find any problems from the imperial edict. The only thing wrong was that there was no cabinet's name on it, nor the seal of the Five Military Governor's Office.

According to the rules, to mobilize troops to Beijing, you must have the imperial seal, the cabinet seal, the seal of the Five Military Governor's Office and the seal of the Ministry of War.

Of course, if you have an imperial edict and a golden tiger talisman, that's fine. But Liu Qian only brought an imperial edict, which was not written by the emperor, and the two deputy generals questioned it on the spot.

However, Liu Qian knew that he could not convince the two deputy generals with just an imperial edict, so he sent the two men to the Yama Palace.

There were not many ordinary soldiers who could really understand the mobilization procedures these days. Liu Qian held up the imperial edict on the stage and announced it, and 25,000 Zuo Xiaowei troops set out from the camp and headed for the west gate of the capital.

Almost at the same time, the Right Military Camp led by Chen Ruiwen, Duke of Qi, who was also the commander-in-chief, also launched an attack. The two of them had a total of 50,000 troops under their command and rushed to the West Gate area together.

The gates of the capital, which were originally closed because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, were now tightly closed, and there were swords and guns on the top of the city, and flags were fluttering.

"I am the Left Commander, Chen Ruiwen, Duke of Qi, who is the commander on the city, come out and answer quickly!"

Chen Ruiwen and Liu Qian's originally fiery hearts noticed something wrong when they saw the West Gate was closed. According to the original plan, the West Gate should be open at this time. Dongchang Bo Song Delin had already arranged people to control the West Gate to welcome the army into the city.

Chen Ruiwen shouted three times, not to mention that someone came out to respond, the top of the city even launched several black cannons and set up the Eight Ox Crossbow, a powerful weapon.

"Mr. Chen, I'm afraid something went wrong, what should I do?"

Liu Qian frowned and looked at the muzzle of the black cannon, and his heart was shocked. He whispered to Chen Ruiwen: "This matter should not be delayed. If we are not there in time, the palace will be in chaos and we may be robbed by others if we are not there yet."

"The arrow is on the string and must be shot. There is no other choice!"

Naturally, Chen Ruiwen has only two options for rebelling tomorrow morning, either from the dragon or from the insect, and there is no third way to choose from.

His heart skipped a beat, and he held up the Minghuang imperial edict and shouted: "Listen, people in the city, there is rebellion in the capital. The governor was ordered to lead troops into the city to protect the king, and quickly opened the city gate. After the three-tone drum, the city gate was not opened to resist. Thesis!"

Dongdongdongdong...

The drums beat loudly, and then the artillery in the two guards was pushed out, aiming at the head of the West City.

At this time, a figure in silver armor appeared on the top of the city. Chen Ruiwen waved his hand to stop the drumming, and asked: "Who is on the city?"

"The nine provinces are under inspection, and the counties under control are led by the Minister of War and the title of Wang Ziteng!"

The voice was not loud and sounded a little weak, but the souls of Chen Ruiwen and Liu Qian were heard. Why is Wang Ziteng here? Isn't it because he was seriously injured and passed out multiple times?

Then a man in a python robe appeared next to Wang Ziteng. He took out a gold token and shouted: "I, Prince Zhongshun, Prince Gao Wanjiang, have been ordered to suppress the rebellion! Chen Ruiwen and Liu Qian colluded with Song Delin and others. If someone falsely conveys the imperial edict, the sons of Zuo Xiaowei and Youwuwei will put down their weapons and let the court ignore it, otherwise the Yi tribe will not be punished!"

Dongdongdongdong...

The drums beat loudly again, but this time it was the drums on the top of the city, which sounded like a reminder in the hearts of everyone below the city.

Both Chen Ruiwen and Liu Qian had been leading troops for a long time, and they naturally had a very deep control over the soldiers under their command. Knowing that any further talk would only shake the morale of the army, they immediately ordered: "Your Majesty has an order. Prince Gao Yongheng, the loyal and obedient prince, has rebelled against his superiors and poisoned the two men." Holy Spirit, all brothers will follow me into the city, and King Qin will escort you..."

Boom boom boom...

The artillery under the city was immediately ignited and roared. The city leaders did not dare to show weakness and lit artillery to fight back.

Bricks and stones splashed, and Gao Wanjiang's face was instantly scratched by the flying bricks, causing blood to flow freely. But he wiped it casually, secretly scolded the other party for his lack of martial ethics, and then asked someone to help Wang Ziteng down, and he supervised the battle at the West City Gate.

In fact, Wang Ziteng was not willing to leave the battlefield at all. He stabbed his allies in the back. If he didn't take advantage of this opportunity to gain some credit, he might not have a chance in the future.

The Wang family was saved for the time being, but he knew that he had never been able to win the emperor's heart. In recent years, he had done many things that were contrary to the emperor's interests in order to gain power.

So he was heartbroken, came down from the West City Gate, turned around and rushed to Dashi Yongfang. Backstabbing an ally was the first certificate of surrender. Since the emperor still didn't trust him, he went crazy and handed the emperor another certificate of surrender.

In the past ten years, Wang Ziteng's business in the capital has been profound. In a short period of time, he summoned no less than a thousand troops and directly surrounded the Prince Yi Zhong's palace in Yongfang, Dashi.

Wang Ziteng got off the carriage, looked up and glanced at the plaque of Prince Yi Zhong's Palace written by the Supreme Emperor. He silently said sorry in his heart and ordered the door to be knocked down.

He believed that there were two thorns in the emperor's heart. One was the loyal prince Gao Yongyi who was still in Shanxi, and the other was the loyal prince Gao Wanqi who had been in a coma for a year.

Compared with Gao Yongyi, who is brainless, Wang Ziteng believes that Gao Wanqi is the emperor's serious problem.

The status of being the son of the late prince is too special. There are still many people left behind by the former prince to protect Gao Wanyu, and many people even rebelled secretly in the name of Gao Wanyu. Qi Wenhua, the Prince of Xining in Hexi Province, pretended to support Gao Wanyu's ascension to the throne. Did you write a message in your name?

Prince Teng, who was determined to deal with this trouble for the emperor, never expected that there was not a single living person in Prince Yi Zhong's palace.

The door was knocked open effortlessly, but the floor of the palace was filled with corpses, including those of maids, servants, and even palace officials.

"Go to the backyard and look for it..."

"Go back to the commander, there is no one alive!"

"Commander, there is no sign of the prince, the princess, or the concubines in the main hall or the bedroom of the palace!"

"Commander, there is no one alive in the palace..."

"What a ghost, where are the people?"

Wang Ziteng's face was extremely ugly. He took the risk to attack Prince Yi Zhong's palace, but now he couldn't even find a soul. How could he be willing to do so.

boom!

There was a shocking explosion, and the earth trembled. Wang Ziteng was shocked and fell to the ground. The palace dormitory in the north that caught his eye turned into a huge fireball and disappeared from his sight.

"Oops, get out of here!"

Wang Ziteng immediately got up from the ground, no longer caring about his own embarrassment and the casualties of his soldiers. The only thing he wants to do at this moment is to escape from Prince Yohitada's palace, otherwise he will never be able to clear up the charges of massacre and murder of the prince for the rest of his life!
