There was a fight outside the palace of the Grand Empress Dowager, and naturally the entire palace could no longer remain peaceful.
Although there are not many mistresses in the palace now, and there are only the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Zhu in the harem. The concubines of Emperor Gaozu and the late emperor have died, and the surviving ones have been moved to remote palaces, but there are still many people in the palace.
of.
Suddenly, the lights in the palace also lit up.
Xue Ya was pacing back and forth in the hall. Empress Dowager Zhu was filled with fear and fright. At this time, she was sitting in a chair looking a little embarrassed. Her eyes kept following Xue Ya's figure, as if she was afraid.
It seemed like he suddenly did something terrible.
From the time Xue Ya sent someone to leave with Yizhi, she knew she had no way out, and at this time her heart was filled with fear and uneasiness.
Xue Ya frowned slightly, her expression a little anxious.
There has been a fight in the palace of the Empress Dowager, but there is still no news from outside the palace. This means... Xie Yan's side may not be going well. If Xie Yan is dead or injured, outside the palace will be the first to report it.
This news was delivered to him.
The Master of the Mingyin Pavilion had already closed his eyes and fell asleep. Miss Qing was still standing upright and motionless behind the Master of the Mingyin Pavilion, as if she could stand like this all night.
At this time, people were also seen gathering at the entrance of the palace.
Tonight was already very chaotic. All the powerful families locked their doors and locked their doors to guard their own safety.
Who would have thought that in the middle of the night, I would receive a decree from the Empress Dowager, saying that the Prince Regent and Yu Mingqiu colluded to blockade the Empress Dowager's palace, and held Her Majesty hostage for evil purposes. Empress Dowager Zhu urgently summoned all the court officials to the palace to rescue her.
When everyone received the news, their first reaction was: Ridiculous!
But the Queen Mother's decree in their hands was true, and so was the chamberlain who delivered the decree in the palace. The important thing was that even though they dilly-dallyed for a long time, no one from the Prince Regent's Palace came out to refute the rumors.
Not only the Regent's Palace, but also the Luo family closed its doors to thank guests.
This makes people wonder whether General Luo is also on the side of the Regent? Or General Luo cannot come forward to object because the Regent is his son-in-law, so he has to close the door and pretend that nothing happened.
If ordinary officials can still analyze rationally, those royalists who claim to be loyal and loyal really can't help it.
They had doubts about Xie Yan's loyalty and position, but now Shangyong suddenly became a mess. Xie Yan had previously strongly supported Yu Mingqiu, who had just returned, to take control of the Wuwei Army. He also transferred Luo Yun's eldest son to the Wuwei Army, and then merged with the Luo family
Marriage...
It's okay not to think about this kind of thing, but the more you think about it, the more suspicious it becomes.
Therefore, less than half an hour after the announcement of the decree, many officials from the DPRK and the Central Government had already gathered outside the palace gate.
At this time, Luo Junyao and others were standing in the turret on the tower at the entrance of the palace. From the angle they stood, they could see the situation at the entrance of the palace, but the ministers standing outside the palace gate could not see them in the night.
Seeing the elderly men standing in the crowd and yelling at each other, wanting to scold Xie Yan for his wolfish ambitions, Luo Junyao couldn't help but said: "It seems that A Yan's reputation is not very good."
Wei Changting smiled and said: "Any powerful king who holds a lot of power and also holds a lot of troops will not have a good reputation."
It doesn't have to be that you have done something outrageous. There is a sin in this world that makes others think that you will do it sooner or later.
These elders may not have any evil intentions, they just think that the emperor is young and Xie Yan, the regent with a heavy army, will have the ambition to usurp the throne sooner or later.
These old stubborns who have never changed their ways claim to be loyal only to the royal family's orthodoxy, so naturally they can't be too repulsive and wary of Xie Yan.
"Why are Mr. Su here too?" Luo Junyao said suddenly.
Wei Changting looked sideways and saw the Su family's sedan stopped outside the palace gate. Mrs. Su was helped out from inside and walked toward the crowd gathered at the palace gate with some trembling.
Seeing Mrs. Su's arrival, many people seemed to have a backbone and gathered around, "Mr. Su, you are finally here."
"Mr. Su, what should we do now?"
"Please also ask Mr. Su to lead us into the palace for King Qin. I am the only one who will obey you!" The crowd was excited.
Old Master Su sighed helplessly and said: "King Qin? What do you mean by this?"
Someone was stunned, "Didn't you receive the Queen Mother's decree?"
Old Tai Fu Su said: "What I mean is that we haven't figured out what is going on in the palace now. It's best to wait a while and ask the regent for clarification."
He was so angry that he couldn't help but said: "What else is there to ask? When we ask clearly, His Majesty may have been killed!"
Old Taifu Su looked at the middle-aged man who spoke and asked: "Mr. Zhu, have you seen with your own eyes that the regent detained your majesty and the empress dowager? If the regent had such intention, he should have taken control of the palace first, and the empress dowager
How can your will be expressed?"
The middle-aged man's official position was not high, and he had no qualifications to go to court at all. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Su could reveal his identity at once. He hesitated for a moment before speaking loudly: "Then where is the regent now? Mr. Luo
Where is the general? Why did Yu Mingqiu, a prisoner who had just returned from the Qi tribe, lead troops into the harem late at night?!"
After hearing this, someone immediately started making noise again.
Old Mrs. Su was already old and in poor health. She got up and came here in the middle of the night in the cold winter. Being surrounded by a group of noisy people made her feel dizzy.
In the corner, Luo Junyao was biting the tip of his pen while holding a roster and muttering something to the noisy people below.
In the compartment behind her, a topographic map of the palace was spread out in front of Luo Jinyan, "The current situation is that at least 30% of the troops of the Royal Forest Army have surrendered to the enemy, the deputy general of the South Camp of the Wuwei Army has surrendered to the enemy, and the commander of the North Camp also has problems. However, the North Camp has been
If we stay outside the city, General Gu Jue will take care of it, so we don’t have to worry about it. There are also the original royal guards... It is currently estimated that the enemy force in the palace will be no less than 40,000."

The rebellious imperial guards took advantage of the chaos and put the armed guards and some rabble into the palace. Are these people crazy? They are really not afraid of death!"
Luo Jinyan said: "With so many people participating, it cannot be explained by just saying crazy."
Luo Junyao seemed to feel that there was nothing to see outside the palace gate, so he turned around and walked in: "Now is not the time to talk about this, is it? What should we do?"
Luo Jinyan and Wei Changting looked at each other, and Wei Changting said: "The prince said... don't be in a hurry."
"No rush?" How could Luo Junyao not understand, "So...this chaos tonight was deliberately arranged by Xie Yan?"
Wei Changting touched his nose and said: "Actually, it's not a deliberate arrangement, it's just... well, let it be." Although Xie Yan was the one who took action from the beginning, it would never be such a big deal, but the people from Luanyi Division wanted to
They can't arrange what to do, and it's not just a matter of picking and choosing.
Luo Jinyan waved to his sister, and waited until she came to his side before saying softly: "With Luan Yisi secretly obstructing the situation, it is not easy to clear out all the forces in Shangyong. It is better to simply provoke a big chaos, and those who are patient will
People who don’t live there will naturally show up.”
Those who can still endure the chaos like this can only be treated as if they don’t exist. Besides, if they can still tolerate such a good opportunity, these people will most likely be able to endure it for a lifetime, so they won’t cause much harm.
As for the complete elimination of the government and the opposition, this is something that even the saints dare not think about, and they naturally will not force it.
Luo Junyao naturally understood this truth, nodded and said: "I know, I just think... you are playing too much, be careful of capsizing."
Wei Changting smiled meaningfully, "Since the prince dares to do this, he is naturally confident that nothing unexpected will happen."
According to Wei Changting, people like Xueya have no ability at all and can only rely on conspiracy and tricks. Even if they are really lucky and succeed tonight, they will not last long.
It's not impossible to want the world, but you still have to pay attention to a few basic rules.
As a king, you should not avoid plotting and plotting.
These people spent a lot of time planning this time and didn't see much. It was all a conspiracy.
Luo Junyao lowered his head and looked at the map, "There are two main places in the palace now. General Yu is besieged in the Empress Dowager's Palace, and Xueya and the others are in Empress Dowager Zhu's Palace. Xueya has already controlled Empress Dowager Zhu, and he is now bringing these officials here.
Do you want to confirm that Ayan can hold the emperor hostage and rule the world?"
Luo Jinyan said: "That's what he meant. I think he wouldn't mind killing His Majesty if necessary."
"Kill Your Majesty?" Hearing this, Qin Yao'er beside him couldn't help but interrupt, "How can he control those court officials and generals after killing the little emperor?"
Others glanced at her one after another. Luo Junyao sighed softly and said: "A Cheng is too young. Even if everything goes well for Xue Ya, a previously unknown outsider, he wants to make everyone listen to him by relying on the merits of the so-called King Qin.
, the possibility is not high.”
If those courtiers were so easy to control, there wouldn't be so many people secretly suspecting that Xie Yan wanted to usurp the throne.
If Xue Ya dares to do this, there must be someone behind him.
"Prince Ning and Prime Minister Ruan are here." The shadow guarding the window suddenly said.
Luo Jinyan had an inexplicable look on his face, "Let's take a look at the attitudes of Prince Ning and Prime Minister Ruan first."
"By the way, why don't we go help General Yu first?"
Wei Changting showed no sympathy for his colleagues and waved his hand: "No need, Yu Mingqiu can hold on."
Outside the palace gate, I don’t know what King Ning and Ruan Ting said to the courtiers, but it gradually became quiet. Then I saw King Ning taking out a token and saying to the generals stationed on the upper floor of the palace wall: "I and you all
The courtiers have entered the palace on the orders of the Queen Mother and opened the door!"
The generals on the tower did not speak, and the two sides seemed to be confronting each other quietly.
In the corner, Wei Changting lazily waved his hand to the Zhenguo Army general wearing the uniform of the Royal Forest Army and said: "Open! Let them in!"
The general hesitated for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed, "General, I'm afraid it's very dangerous in the palace at this time. If something unexpected happens..." They could seize control of the palace gate quietly, but no one had the time to protect those helpless people.
A civil servant with the power to bind a chicken.
Wei Changting said with a smile: "Those who dare to enter the palace at this time are either very courageous and not afraid of death, or they have ulterior motives and want to gain benefits from following along. Just help them."
The general twitched his lips, silently bowed his hands, turned around and went out.
After a while, the people in the corner heard a high-pitched voice outside, "Open the palace door!"
With a heavy sound, the originally closed palace door slowly opened.
Wei Changting and others stood by the window in the corner, watching the officials standing outside filing in. Wei Changting said with a hint of ridicule: "The show is about to begin."
Luo Jinyan said: "No one came to Prince Mu's residence." Ordinarily, if something like this happened, Prince Mu might not come to join in the fun.
Wei Changting didn't care, "It's not just Prince Mu's Mansion, Prince Ancheng's Mansion, Dingyang Marquis' Mansion, Lingchuan Marquis' Mansion, Princess Changzhao's Mansion... there are still many people who didn't come."
At this time, you would be wise not to join in the fun.
Yu Mingqiu was not as relaxed as Wei Changting said. While fighting the men in black who besieged him, he mentally scolded everyone from Zhenguo Army to Xie Yan to Wei Changting and Gu Jue a hundred times.
Although the dormitory is still impregnable, and the Zhenguo army and the enemy outside the dormitory are still fighting, some masters have found an opening to break into the dormitory gate.
There were already many corpses piled up in the courtyard below, all of which were masters who had used their martial arts skills to break in.
He didn't know whether Luan Yisi could win this time, but it would definitely not be a problem for Dasheng Jianghu to go back fifty years after this incident.
Yu Mingqiu didn't care about this. He was a member of the imperial court, and his view had always been that chivalrous people use force to break the law. These people in the world ignore the law and act recklessly, and they should not exist in the first place.
"clang!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yu Mingqiu's sword collided with the oncoming long sword, and sparks flew everywhere. Yu Mingqiu only felt bursts of pain in the tiger's mouth holding the sword, which showed the opponent's strength.
Standing opposite him was a man with only one pair of eyes exposed, but Yu Mingqiu sneered and called out his name without hesitation, "Qu Fang! Does Bai Jingrong want to tear up the agreement with Dasheng?"
The other party didn't say anything, he just waved his sword and attacked Yu Mingqiu continuously.
Yu Mingqiu was not Qu Fang's opponent, let alone how many opponents he had fought at this time. There were also many masters who died under his sword tonight. The people who stepped aside after Qu Fang appeared looked at
Yu Mingqiu's eyes were also full of alertness and shock.
Over the years, Yu Mingqiu has not gained much reputation, but after tonight's battle, I realized that this Xiaoyuan Hou is indeed worthy of his reputation as an unrivaled warrior.
Not only Yu Mingqiu, but the Suppressing Army troops guarding outside the Empress Dowager's chamber were also very troublesome. They had tried, but even if several masters joined forces, they were unable to break through the defenses set up by the Suppressing National Army in front of the palace gate.
The battle situation outside the palace was also stalemate, making people feel a bit ominous.
After all, Yu Mingqiu only has one hand, and he was injured not long ago. After a long battle, it is inevitable that he will be a little weak, and what he has to face is a top master like Qu Fang.
After a moment's delay, Qu Fang seized the opportunity and struck Yu Mingqiu hard in the heart with a blast of palm wind.
Yu Mingqiu took seven or eight steps back. If he hadn't been holding himself up with his sword, he might have fallen to his knees directly on the ground.
"Xie Yan, it's your uncle!" Yu Mingqiu vomited a mouthful of blood and couldn't help but cursed: "If you don't come here, I will be killed by you!" He hasn't even hugged his wife yet? Is anyone here?
Please understand that he has just been injured.
Raising his hand to touch his chest, Yu Mingqiu smiled bitterly... The injury from the past few days seemed to have opened again. It seems that although Doctor Xue's medicine is very effective, it is not omnipotent.
Qu Fang ignored Yu Mingqiu's sudden curse, and he had no habit of giving his enemies time to explain his last words. He slashed down at Yu Mingqiu with the long sword in his hand without hesitation.
Yu Mingqiu raised his sword to block it without any effort, but he knew that he could not block the sword no matter what.
It's better than nothing.
Just when Yu Mingqiu was mentally prepared to receive the sword, Qu Fang's sword suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Yu Mingqiu was startled, and the next moment he rolled on the spot to avoid Qu Fang's attack range, and then he had time to see what was going on.
In front of Qu Fang, in front of where Yu Mingqiu was just now, stood a tall and straight man in black.
The man turned around and said to Yu Mingqiu calmly: "I was delayed for a while because of something. I'm late."
Yu Mingqiu gritted his teeth bitterly, "Thank you, Yan!"
Yu Mingqiu wiped the blood from his lips and said, "You can come later!"
Xie Yan was worthy of being the boss of Crown Prince Wei, and he had no pity for his former friend and colleague, "I didn't ask you to use your salary to play a cruel trick." If you want to be sent to be stabbed yourself, you can't delay the business.
