After Xia Song passed the message, other important ministers spoke up one after another, supporting Liu E to take charge of the overall situation, and implored Zhao Zhen to hand over the jade talisman for mobilizing troops.
The important ministers believed Xia Song's words so easily, but it was not because Xia Song's words were very deceptive.
The crux of the problem still lies with Zhao Zhen.
From the time Zhao Yuanyan's rebellion broke out, the important ministers hurriedly entered the Chui Gong Hall.
Zhao Zhen did not make any noise or take any action other than sending his privy councilors to declare the decree, dispatching Tianwu, and bringing the Japanese and Japanese armies to Beijing to put down the rebellion.
He didn't say anything to appease the important ministers.
Kou Zhun, who had a high status, was lying there pretending to be confused.
Didn't come forward to get an overview of the overall situation.
The important ministers were also panicked.
Now Liu E appeared and threatened to take an overview of the overall situation, which gave them a lot of comfort. After hearing Xia Song's words, they naturally followed Xia Song's words.
Zhao Zhen didn't know what the important ministers were thinking, otherwise he would definitely complain to them.
I didn't do anything. Is it my fault?
no!
It's Kou Ji's fault!
Kou Ji has done everything he can and leaves me with nothing. What can I do?
pity.
Zhao Zhen was preoccupied with thinking about the purpose of Liu E's appearance, and he felt sad about the purpose of Liu E's appearance in Chui Gong Hall, and did not carefully speculate on the thoughts of the important ministers.
Faced with the persecution of Liu E, Xia Song, Yan Shu, and other important ministers.
Zhao Zhen's face was expressionless, but a ball of anger rose in his heart.
Liu E wanted to take advantage of Zhao Yuanyan's rebellion to return to the court. Zhao Zhen had guessed.
But when the rebels were attacking the city, Liu E took the opportunity to force him to hand over his military power, but Zhao Zhen did not guess.
When is it?
The rebels are approaching the city!
Instead of thinking about uniting as one to annihilate the rebels, we first want to use the annihilation of the rebels as an excuse to seize military power.
How can Zhao Zhen not be angry?
Do you really think that as my eldest daughter, you can bully me casually?!
Zhao Zhen clenched his fists and said in a stiff tone: "If the eldest lady has a way to urgently summon Tianwu and support the Japanese army, then just do it. If anyone impeaches the eldest lady for this, I will shoulder the responsibility."
Liu E frowned and said in a deep voice: "The Ai family has no military talismans, so it is unreasonable to rashly mobilize troops."
Zhao Zhen stood up and said loudly: "I can write an edict to mobilize troops!"
Liu E suddenly frowned even more tightly.
This was the first time she saw Zhao Zhen speak in such a strong tone in front of her.
A ball of anger also arose in Liu E's heart. She glared at Zhao Zhen and said: "Without military symbols, the Ai family cannot mobilize troops."
Zhao Zhen flicked his sleeves, sat firmly on the dragon chair, and said loudly: "Since the eldest lady has the means to mobilize the troops as soon as possible, but is unwilling to do so, then just wait here with me.
If the Eight Emperors Uncle really conquered the imperial city.
I also admit it."
Liu E and all the important ministers were shocked.
Liu E threw herself in front of Zhao Zhen and shouted in disbelief: "Is the official trying to make fun of our ancestors' inheritance?"
Zhao Zhen opened his eyes and roared: "Are I kidding about our ancestors' inheritance, or are you kidding about our ancestors' inheritance? Tens of thousands of rebels have entered the city. The aunt has the means to mobilize troops, but she is unwilling to do so.
.
I have promised to bear all responsibilities, and I have promised to send the imperial edict to mobilize troops, but the empress is still unwilling.
You must let me hand over the military talisman!
You must let me hand over the military talisman!
Don’t you think that your actions are forcing you to have a wife?”
Liu E stared at Zhao Zhen in astonishment, never expecting that Zhao Zhen would actually say these words in front of everyone.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xia Song hurriedly said: "Guan family, my wife is doing this for the sake of Guan family..."
"Shut up!"
"And you all, shut up!"
Zhao Zhen pointed at Xia Song, then at other important ministers, and continued to roar: "I don't allow you to speak, who gives you the qualification to speak?!"
All the important ministers looked at each other in confusion.
They never expected that Zhao Zhen would show his power and be so domineering.
Liu E stood at the foot of the imperial steps, trembling and pointing at Zhao Zhen.
"Aijia... Aijia has really raised you all these years in vain. If I had known you would treat Aijia like this, Aijia shouldn't have protected you."
Zhao Zhen's face was ashen and he was about to speak when he saw Kou Zhun, who had been lying on the beauty's couch pretending to be asleep. He suddenly spoke first, "The Queen Mother is wrong! The official family is the real dragon and the emperor. He has his own God and his own late emperor."
Bless you, it’s not your turn yet.
As for the officials treating the empress like this, it's not the officials' fault.
The official family is already in charge of the government, and even I, a veteran of three dynasties, dare not hinder the official dictatorship.
However, the empress wanted to interfere with the authority of the officials, and even thought of taking advantage of the rebellion of the thieves to seize the military power from the officials.
In the final analysis, it is the empress who stretched her hand too far, and she cannot blame the officials."
After Kou Zhun finished scolding Liu E, his eyes fell on those important ministers again, "You are the officials' ministers. Instead of speaking for the officials, you help the emperor to do evil. You should be beaten!"
Liu E glared at Kou Zhun angrily and cursed: "Kou Zhun, you old man, you are already begging for bones, how can you speak here?"
Kou Zhun sat up and snorted: "I am a veteran of three dynasties. If I am not qualified to speak here, what qualifications do you have?"
Liu E was so angry that she was trembling all over, "Kou thief, how dare you be rude to the Ai family?!"
Kou Zhun clasped his fists at Zhao Zhen and said disdainfully: "You are a majestic queen mother. You don't stay in the harem, but you come to Chui Gong Hall and talk nonsense to force the palace. Why should I be polite to you?"
In the past, Emperor Taizong did not listen to my advice, but I dared to chase him to the imperial steps, grabbed Emperor Taizong's sleeves, and gave him advice.
What's more, you?
Do you still want to be superior to Emperor Taizong?"
Liu E's face turned red with anger, and just when she was about to curse, she heard Kou Zhun shout loudly: "Chen Lin, you are an old dog, you don't know how to protect your master, are you going to let me, an old cow, bark like this?
Why don’t you invite the Queen Mother back to the palace?!”
When Chen Lin heard this, she felt extremely excited.
All over the world.
Kou Zhun is probably the only one who dares to point his nose at Liu E and scold Liu E.
Kou Zhun pointed at Liu E's nose and cursed loudly today, but this gave a bad breath to all those who were oppressed by Liu E.
Chen Lin immediately ran down the imperial steps, arrived in front of Liu E, bowed and said: "Empress, I will take you back to the palace..."
Seeing this, a group of important ministers wanted to speak.
Kou Zhunhu stared at him, and all the important ministers obediently shut their mouths, not daring to say another word.
Xia Song took a step forward, blocked in front of Chen Lin, stared at Kou Zhun, and shouted: "Kou Zhun, you are doing the following!"
Kou Zhun said disdainfully: "So what? The worst I can do is resign my title and my official position. As a sixty-year-old man, what can you do to me if you curse the Queen Mother?"
Xia Song's face turned pale when he heard this, but he couldn't say another word.
You can be unreasonable when you are older.
An old minister with no title or official position can be even more unreasonable.
No one has a temper with him.
Kill Kou Zhun for the following crimes?
It's simply impossible.
The people of the world did not agree.
Zhao Zhen would not agree either.
Kou Zhun was speaking for Zhao Zhen. If Zhao Zhen punished Kou Zhun for this, who would speak for him in the future?
Liu E was trembling all over, staring at Zhao Zhen, and said word by word: "Guan family, you just look at an outsider and treat the Ai family like this?"
Zhao Zhen opened his mouth and was about to speak.
I saw a eunuch rushing in from outside the Chui Gong Palace. He fell to the ground and crawled forward on his hands and knees. As he crawled, he shouted in horror: "Guan, it's not good, the rebels have already entered the inner city."
"
The expressions of Zhao Zhen, Kou Zhun, Liu E and others all changed.
Liu E wanted to speak.
Xia Song came close to Liu E and whispered: "Mother, the officials are unkind to you, you cannot be unjust to the officials."
Liu E was stunned and understood the meaning of Xia Song's words.
Immediately.
Liu E gritted her teeth and said: "The official family is sorry for the Ai family, but the Ai family cannot ruin the foundation of their ancestors just to be angry with the official family. Yan Shu, quickly go to the Ai family palace and set off the medicine to make puppets."
After the rebels are defeated, the Ai family will ask the officials what filial piety is in front of the civil and military officials of the court!"
"The empress is righteous..."
"The empress is righteous..."
A group of important officials began to praise him.
Zhao Zhen ignored the important ministers who praised Liu E, but looked at Kou Zhun with a worried look.
Kou Zhun said calmly: "The officials should be at ease, nothing will happen to them."
Zhao Zhen nodded slowly and sat on the dragon chair without saying a word.
Quietly waiting for the news.
Not long after, a cry of death was heard outside the palace.
Outside the palace.
After Zhao Yuanyan led his troops to break through Song Gate, he went straight to Donghua Gate.
The rebel soldiers received Zhao Yuanyan's promise and rushed down to the imperial city one by one.
On top of the city.
After Zhu Neng saw the rebels rushing into the inner city, he immediately ordered the crossbowmen on the city top to start firing arrows.
A hail of arrows fell.
The rebels under the city fell like wheat.
The Firebolt Meteor Arrows fired ten times in a row showed astonishing lethality at this moment.
A series of firecrackers sounded.
Rapid arrows fell one after another.
Arrows propelled by gunpowder are extremely lethal.
The leather armor worn by the rebels was worn through.
Often a single burst of firebolt meteor arrows can kill a wave of rebels.
"I really let Zhao Yuanyan break into the inner city..."
Zhu Neng, wearing armor and holding a sword, stood at the entrance of the crenellation, staring at the rebels below the city, frowning.
Kou Ji stood not far behind Zhu Neng and did not go to the crenel.
He held a long knife in his hand, but he had no intention of killing the enemy.
It's not that he doesn't want to kill the enemy, it's that at this moment, he is not suitable to go to the crenel to meet the enemy.
With his identity, after reaching the crenel, Zhu Neng had to send a dozen soldiers of the Imperial Army to guard him.
The rebels have already invaded the inner city, and every Forbidden Army soldier in the imperial city is an indispensable fighting force.
Kou Ji couldn't hold back a dozen of the powerful Forbidden Army soldiers just because of his own willfulness.
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhu Neng's words, and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Yuanyan was able to break through the inner city, which was unexpected. The equipment supervisor lurking around Zhao Yuanyan has not taken action yet, allowing Zhao Yuanyan to break into the inner city.
I'm afraid the Queen Mother changed her order temporarily.
If my prediction is correct, the Forbidden Army soldier who sent the message from the city wall should be from the Queen Mother."
When Zhu Neng heard this, he gritted his teeth and had a gloomy face.
If he hadn't taken Liu E's identity into consideration, he would have really wanted to curse.
"The Queen Mother is playing with fire..."
Kou Ji frowned and said: "Now is no longer the time to investigate what the Queen Mother did. Zhao Yuanyan led his army to attack the imperial city. You must lead your people to stop him.
As long as you block them for a stick of incense, the Tiger Character Army will be able to come in.
The Tianwu and Peng Japanese armies can also rush over to help."
"A stick of incense?"
Zhu Neng smiled coldly: "You underestimate me too much... I got your notice in advance and made many arrangements on the imperial city. With the Firebolt Meteor Arrow you gave me, I not only
If you can hold Zhao Yuanyan back, you can also defeat him."
Kou Ji nodded and reminded: "Win in a stable manner... In this situation, we cannot take risks."
Zhu Neng nodded and said: "Understood..."
"Fire the arrow!"
As soon as Zhu Neng finished talking to Kou Ji, he saw the rapid and violent offensive of the rebels under the city wall, and immediately ordered the release of arrows.
Zhao Yuanyan commanded his soldiers to charge three times, but Zhu Neng was repulsed three times.
The angry Zhao Yuanyan, holding his sword and astride his horse, rushed into the middle of the soldiers in person and began to supervise the battle.
Zhu Neng saw that the rebels' offensive was getting more and more rapid, so he immediately asked the soldiers on the top of the city to start throwing rolling logs, stones, gold juice and other objects.
Rolling logs and rocks are great weapons for defending the city.
A thick rolling log rolled down the city wall and hit the rebel soldier who was climbing the ladder. It also hit the ground with other rebels behind him.
The screams were endless.
Round stones fell from the top of the city, smashing the heads of the rebels.
The corpses of the rebels gradually piled up under the city wall.
The rebels' offensive continues unabated.
The two sides were fighting for a while.
Not giving in to each other.
On Chenqiao Street.
The war is developing in a one-sided direction.
The heavy cavalry led by Di Qing, like a steel machine, rushed all the way from the junction of Chenqiao Street and Xincao Street to the junction of Chenqiao Street and Xinsong Street.
On the streets that are hundreds of feet long, there is no enemy of the tiger-shaped army.
The Tiger Army has few cumbersome slashing and killing moves.
Just relying on the strength of soldiers and armor, he rushed through all the way.
In this kind of battle where the enemy troops are piled up in a group, the heavy armored cavalry in the Tiger Army can greatly exert their advantages.
On a large-scale battlefield, in order to play the role of heavy armored cavalry, at the beginning of the war, auxiliary troops and servants are usually used to drive the enemy away and pile them together to create a favorable situation for heavy armored cavalry.
Let the heavy armored cavalry charge into the battlefield.
In this war, there is no need to do this.
After the rebels invaded Bianjing City, they did not choose the very wide Yu Street as the main battlefield. Instead, they chose the relatively narrow Chenqiao Street and Xinsong Street as the battlefield.
Naturally, it creates a battlefield for heavy armored cavalry to charge.
The heavy armored cavalry led by Di Qing didn't need to think too much, they just had to charge forward arrogantly.
