Chapter 1507 The Palace Coup (Part 2)
The head Sima Yuan was carrying was Wu Tian, the second head of the Western Factory. It turned out that this afternoon, Wu Tian found Sima Yuan and asked him to bring more than a dozen trustworthy brothers from the Jinyiwei to the palace in the afternoon, saying that Eunuch Bi had important arrangements. So Sima Yuan brought twenty Jinyiwei confidants to the palace with Wu Tian.
Wu Tian was naturally unhappy because according to the plan of the poison scholar Jiang Zhi, on the first night of the Lunar New Year, they would first use Empress Wu to trick Jiajing into Kunning Palace and put him under house arrest, and then make someone falsely spread Jiajing's oral order to imprison Xu Jin into the palace, and then kill him on the spot in the name of rebellion.
However, it would be too ridiculous if Xu Jin went to the palace alone to assassinate and rebelled, and no one believed him. So Bi Chun arranged for the second leader Wu Tian to trick Sima Yuan into the palace, and then he killed Sima Yuan and others on the spot, saying that Xu Jin colluded with the Jinyiwei to rebel and kill the emperor.
At that time, Bi Chun ordered the Imperial Horse Supervisor to take over the palace gates, slam all the shit on Xu Jin's head, and then put the eldest son Zhu Zaiji onto the dragon throne, and everything would be fine.
Bi Chun made the wishful thinking aloud, but unexpectedly everything was under Xu Jin's control. Even King Dai and King Min went to Beijing to file a lawsuit, which was his secret operation, with the purpose of forcing Bi Chun to take risks!
Moreover, when Concubine Shu sent someone out of the palace last night to inform him that Empress Wu knew that the nanmu bracelet was in his hand, Xu Jin realized that Bi Chun might be in a hurry in the near future. Sure enough, there were abnormal movements in the West Factory and the Imperial Horse Supervision today, so Xu Jin decisively made corresponding arrangements, otherwise how could he dare to enter the palace rashly?
That's right, Sima Yuan is indeed Xu Jin's person, and Xu Jin deliberately exposed Sima Yuan. The purpose is naturally to confuse Bi Chun, because Yu Linsheng is also his person, Sima Yuan's exposure undoubtedly covered Yu Linsheng.
Perhaps some people are puzzled, didn’t Yu Linsheng feel resentful to Xu Jin, so he defected to Bi Chun? Why did he become Xu Jin’s person again?
In fact, when Xu Jin was in Shangrao County, he talked to Yu Linsheng afterwards. Although he severely scolded and educated him, he also said that he would give him a chance to make a comeback after returning to Beijing, so the resentment in Yu Linsheng's heart had long disappeared.
So when Bi Chun sent someone to find Yu Linsheng and asked him to take charge of the rebel Zhang Lian, Yu Linsheng immediately notified Xu Jin. Xu Jin pretended not to know, but secretly asked Yu Linsheng to agree to Bi Chun and win Bi Chun's trust.
Of course, Yu Linsheng did not make the war like that on purpose, but his personal abilities were limited!
Let’s get back to the point, let’s talk about the second leader of the Western Factory, Wu Tian, who led Sima Yuan into the Qianqing Palace, was about to kill him and twenty Jinyiwei, and then slander them to rebel and frame Xu Jin. Unexpectedly, Sima Yuan attacked first and killed Wu Tian, the second leader.
At this time, eunuch Min Zhongsheng happened to turn Xu Jin outside the Yangxin Hall of Qianqing Palace and shouted that Xu Jin was treasonous, so Sima Yuan came out with Wu Tian's head.
Min Zhongsheng looked at Wu Tian's bloody head, and his upper and lower teeth were so scared that he giggled and trembled.
"Prince, I have just found the entire hall, but I haven't seen the emperor!" Sima Yuan said with a little concern.
Xu Jin frowned. He was not a god after all, and not everything could be expected. He didn't know where Jiajing was at this moment, but fortunately there was a ready-made living. He stared at Min Zhongsheng with sharp eyes and asked, "Where did Bi Chun bring the emperor?"
Xu Jin predicted that Bi Chun would not kill Jiajing before he was "sincere".
Min Zhongsheng was almost scared at this time and said tremblingly: "Sister... I don't know either."
"Cut it!" Xu Jin said two words coldly.
Two Jinyiwei immediately stepped forward and kicked Eunuch Min over. Xiuchun put the knife on his neck and tried to chop it. The latter was so scared that he shouted: "In Kunning Palace, the emperor is in Kunning Palace!"
Xu Jin made a gesture to stop the Jinyiwei and said indifferently: "Tie it first!"
The Jinyiwei immediately took out the iron chain and locked Eunuch Min. Xu Jin asked coldly: "What should I do after Bi Chun asks you to kill me?"
Eunuch Min had already collapsed at this moment, so he dared not hide it. He honestly replied: "Send the signal, and then Eunuch Bi led the four guards of the Imperial Horse Supervisory Office to take over the palace."
"How to release the signal?"
"Please hang two lanterns on the attic of the Yangxin Hall!"
Sima Yuan said with a grim voice: "There is a half lie. I will chop off your limbs first and then cut off your head."
Eunuch Min cried and said, "What I said is the truth, I dare not say a word of falsehood."
Sima Yuan looked at Xu Jin with inquisitive eyes, and the latter said in a deep voice: "Save the emperor first and then hang the lamp."
Sima Yuan nodded, leaving several brothers to take Eunuch Min to the attic of Yangxin Hall, ready to light the lights and signal at any time, and then lead the other brothers to protect Xu Jin and rush to Kunning Palace.
"Old Yuan, is there any problem with Cining Palace and Chengqian Palace?" Xu Jin asked while walking.
Sima Yuan replied: "Don't worry, Prince, Lao Han (Han Dajie) has long brought people to Chengqian Palace just in case. As for the East Factory of the Cining Palace, Eunuch Lai sent someone to be responsible, there should be no trouble."
Xu Jin felt relieved when he heard this and accelerated his pace towards Kunning Palace.
Let’s talk about Bai Gui, the fourth-tier head of the West Factory, and dozens of Western Factory actors rushed to Chengqian Palace in the dark. They rushed into the door with murderous intent, preparing to deal with Concubine He and his son. Unexpectedly, they had just rushed into the palace gate and shot a row of crossbow arrows, including Bai Gui, the fourth-tier head of Bai Gui, and were shot on the spot.
The remaining Xichang man was so scared that he turned around and fled to the palace gate. Unexpectedly, a wave of crossbow arrows shot in outside the palace gate, killing seven or eight people on the spot. One of them had more than a dozen arrows in his body, and his facial features were deformed by shooting, which was terrible.
More than a dozen Western Factory Actors who could not move, were lying on the ground and did not dare to move. At this time, the flames suddenly broke out. Han Dajie, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and the Jinyiwei, took dozens of Jinyiwei's guards to kill them majesticly, cleaned up the remaining Western Factory Actors like chopping melons and cutting vegetables, leaving three living rooms.
Chengqian Palace and Kunning Palace are not too far apart. In the quiet night, screams and shouts of killing were vaguely heard. Jiajing was so sad that he couldn't help but feel like a knife and tears were falling like rain. He Zhier and Xiao Jiaozi were probably killed by the murderer at this moment. The poor Xiao Jiaozi was only born for one day and had not had time to see the world. I hope he would not be born in the ruthless imperial family in the next life!
Empress Wu was originally apologized and guilty, but when she saw Jiajing crying like rain, she couldn't help but be jealous and hatred. Sure enough, the one he loved the most was He Zhier's vixen. He killed it well! He killed it well!
When Queen Wu thought about this, she couldn't help but sneer. Jiajing was originally immersed in pain and self-blame. After hearing Empress Wu's sneer, she couldn't help but become furious. She pointed at Empress Wu tremblingly, gritted her teeth and said, "Poisonous woman!"
Queen Wu was so scared that she moved back and sneered: "It's not your fault. I'm obviously the queen and my wife, but you dote on He Zhier, a bitch with a low origin, and everything is your own question!"
Jiajing stood up, clenched his fists, and his anger seemed to spit out fire. Queen Wu was so scared that she retreated repeatedly, and shouted in panic: "Come here!"
Two Western Factory actors flashed in, blocked Jiajing with a slight knife, and said with a complicated expression: "Please sit down and don't make things difficult for subordinates."
Jiajing said with a pale face: "If I don't sit down, will you kill me?"
"I dare not, but I will tie the emperor up!" Fanzi said in a deep voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, several screams came from outside. The two men's faces changed slightly. One of them rushed out of the inner room like lightning. As a result, with a bang, the man flew back back and fell heavily on his back. There was a shocking blood hole in his eyebrows, and the eyes on both sides almost fell out.
The remaining fan and Jiajing in the room were both shocked. The former subconsciously went to catch Jiajing, and a cold and stern cry came out, "Don't move!"
The man's movements froze. A handsome young man with red lips and white teeth flashed in. He held a double-tube flintlock pistol in his hand, and the black gunman pointed at Fanzi's chest.
"Xu Qing!" Jiajing exclaimed in surprise and almost cried with joy.
At this moment, it was Xu Jin who flashed in. He saw his double-tube flintlock rifle steadily holding his right hand, staring at the roaring man who was froze in one place. At this time, fighting and screams outside were heard one after another. It was obvious that Sima Yuan was leading people to fight with the roster outside.
Queen Wu was frightened as if she had seen a ghost, because according to the plan, shouldn’t Xu Jin die in the Qianqing Palace? How could he appear here?
With a bang, the Western Factory Actor had just pulled out a little bit of the knife and was shot by Xu Jin in the chest, and blood splattered Jiajing's face.
Plopped, the monk fell down in pain.
At this time, Sima Yuan rushed in with a bloody embroidered sword. Seeing the situation in front of him, he couldn't help but feel relieved. He immediately knelt down and saluted: "Sima Yuan, a thousand households of the Jinyiwei, met the emperor, and his subordinates came to rescue him late, and he deserved to die!"
At this time, Xu Jin also put down his gun and knelt down silently, saying lightly: "I am late to save you!"
Jiajing's nose felt sour, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help Xu Jin up: "Xu Qing, please get up quickly, I..."
Jiajing choked up after saying the word "I", and shed tears. After a long time, she said in a daze: "It's all my fault, it hurt Zhier and his son. My fault!" After that, she burst into tears and tears.
Xu Jin was a little resentful, but he couldn't help but feel sorry for seeing this and comforted him: "Emperor, the concubine, mother and son are safe!"
Jiajing immediately came alive when he heard this. He grabbed Xu Jin's shoulder and said excitedly: "Really? Xu Qing, you didn't lie to me? Sister Zhier and Xiao Jiaozi are still alive?"
Xu Jin nodded and said, "If the emperor doesn't believe it, I will take you to Chengqian Palace to take a look."
Jiajing immediately ran out his legs, and Xu Jin gave Sima Yuan a wink, who immediately understood and sent someone to take Queen Wu into custody, and at the same time asked someone to go back and notify the brothers who stayed in Qianqing Palace to hang up the signal light.
At this time, Bi Chun was waiting nervously in the horse jail. At the same time, the big boss Jia Fa was also ready to send out the West Factory. As soon as the signal came, he immediately mobilized thousands of troops from the West Factory to divide the two groups, attacking the headquarters of the East Factory and attacking the Beizhenfu Yamen of the Jinyiwei.
