For King Han, it was the beginning of an endless dark night.
The King of Han was stabbed twice by Shen You, one on the chest and one on the left leg. Blood flowed heavily from the chest, and the flesh and blood of the left leg were opened, revealing the bones.
The most miserable thing in the life of the pampered King of Han was guarding the imperial mausoleum for two years. Without fine wine or beautiful women, he was like an ascetic. But he had never suffered such a fatal injury.
"Save me!" King Han's eyes were filled with blood and he couldn't see anything clearly. He stretched out his left hand with difficulty and waved it randomly in the air: "Hurry up and save me!"
The prince standing in front of the King of Han, with a face as cold as ice, spat out a few words: "Let the imperial physician come and heal the King of Han!"
The King of Han didn't know if he heard the prince's voice. When he was dying, the King of Han only had the instinct of survival, and used his remaining strength to shout in a low voice: "Help me!"
The imperial doctor came over quickly. Seeing the dying King of Han, who was covered in blood, the imperial doctor was shocked and hurriedly bandaged the king to stop the bleeding.
The prince quickly looked away and ordered: "Yang Jinghe, please guard the King of Han."
It was very rare for the prince to open his mouth and call him by his name. This shows that he is in an extremely bad mood now. Think about it, before the funeral of his biological father was completely over, he was ambushed by two brothers to cause chaos. Whoever it was, his mood would not be much better. go!
Eunuch Yang sighed secretly and respectfully accepted the order.
The prince turned and left.
Taisun Zhu Yun glanced at the barely breathing King of Han with disgust and disgust, and left quickly.
The King of Qin was dead, and the King of Han was dying. Most of the dead soldiers in black were dead, and the remaining half were either seriously injured and unable to move, or had their weapons removed and became prisoners.
The Royal Forest Army also suffered heavy casualties, corpses were everywhere, and the sound of wailing could not be heard, which was horrible to watch.
General Li, the commander of the Shenji Battalion who came to the rescue, handed over his hands with a heavy expression: "The end will be too late, which frightened His Royal Highness!"
The one who led the Jinyi Guards was He Zhenfu, who also had a sad look on his face: "Last night, I was shocked to see the fireworks calling for help. I immediately led my troops to help. Fortunately, we caught up in time, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Grand Sun were safe. "
General Li's face looked a little stiff.
In terms of distance, the Shenji Battalion is closer than the Jin Yiwei. The rescue speed of the troops is not as fast as that of the Jin Yiwei. When he arrived with his troops, the Jin Yiwei had already killed the men in black and defeated them. Strictly speaking, the Shenji Battalion was only helping to clean up. It's just the end game.
If he really cares about it, the prince can punish him!
The prince's eyes glanced at General Li's anxious face, and he said calmly: "He Zhenfu and General Li both came at the right time. I am safe and sound, and it is thanks to the two of you. After returning to the court, I will discuss my merits and appreciate them again." !”
General Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief and expressed his loyalty with tears of gratitude.
Ambassador He Zhen, who was on the side, sneered secretly in his heart.
The Shenji Camp was more than fifty miles closer than the Jinyiwei Camp, and as a result, they arrived half an hour later than the Jinyiwei. The difference between here and the outside was just over an hour.
Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is blessed with good fortune, otherwise, by the time the people from the Shenji Camp arrive, the Crown Prince's body will probably be cold.
It would not be wrong to say that General Li conspired with the King of Qin and King Han to rebel. However, General Li had contacts with the King of Qin in private, so he probably wanted to "wait and see what happens".
His Highness the Crown Prince is now trying to appease General Li with kind words. Sooner or later, he will have to settle this account in the future.
…
"His Royal Highness is safe. It doesn't matter if I close my eyes now." The civil servants who had been "protected" all night were finally released. Mr. Xu Ge knelt down tremblingly, with tears streaming down his face.
Mr. Zheng Ge also cried and knelt down: "I have been very worried and anxious this night. Fortunately, Your Highness has God's blessing, and there is no danger."
The prince hurriedly helped the two pavilion elders up and offered words of comfort.
Shilang Feng was a step slower. Furthermore, given his official rank, it was not his turn to "cry with tears". He stood in the corner with some regret, wiping the corners of his eyes with his sleeves.
Mr. Xu Ge didn't cry for too long. He quickly calmed down. After asking about the current situation, he immediately raised his hands and said: "Please return to the capital immediately and calm people's hearts."
The kings of Qin and Han joined forces to cause chaos, and there might be turmoil in the palace as well. The prince had to return to the palace immediately to stabilize the situation.
The prince was also worried and nodded: "I have this plan too."
After a pause, he added: "There are still many follow-up matters to be dealt with here in the imperial mausoleum. I plan to let Jin Yiwei stay."
As for the civil servants, they naturally wanted to return to the capital with the prince.
The prince turned his head and glanced at Zhu Yun. Zhu Yun immediately understood and whispered: "My father will return to the capital first, and I will stay here for the time being. I will return to the palace after everything is over here."
There needs to be a person in charge here. Zhu Yun is the most suitable candidate.
The prince nodded briefly and said: "If there is something that cannot be resolved, send someone to send a letter to the capital immediately."
At this moment, Eunuch Yang came over in a hurry. Eunuch Yang, who had always been calm and composed, now had a look of panic on his face.
The prince's heart sank and his eyes were sharp: "Did something happen in the capital?"
Eunuch Yang suppressed his panic and reported: "Yes. The palace sent news that someone opened a palace door privately last night, and dead men in black clothes and masks rushed into the palace. There was a disturbance in the palace by palace servants.
Fires were set everywhere. The East Palace also had a fire. Those dead men in black gathered outside the East Palace and wanted to rush into the East Palace..."
The prince was furious, and blood flowed from his temples.
Zhu Yunjun's face turned pale suddenly. He rushed to Eunuch Yang, grabbed Eunuch Yang by the collar, and asked sternly: "What's going on in the East Palace?"
Eunuch Yang's voice was bitter: "The person who came to deliver the message said that the East Palace gate has been sealed long ago, and no one can enter or exit the East Palace. I only know that the black-clad soldiers failed to break through the palace gate, and there were countless casualties. How is the East Palace awake now?
clear!"
Then, Eunuch Yang's eyes turned red and he cried, "There is another piece of shocking news. Last night, Concubine Cao entered Cining Palace alone, and when everyone in the palace was unprepared, she stabbed the Queen Mother to death with a dagger!"
Everyone: "..."
This bolt from the blue made everyone change their faces.
There were some changes in the palace, which everyone expected. The kings of Qin and Han dared to use dead soldiers to assassinate the prince, and it was not uncommon to cause trouble in the palace. Fortunately, the East Palace was on guard and sealed the palace gate in time. Since the dead men in black did not break through the palace gate,
It can be seen that there is nothing serious in the East Palace.
No one would have thought that Empress Dowager Cao would suffer disaster during the palace coup!
Who can an eighty-year-old Queen Mother interfere with?
Who was so heartbroken that he actually killed Empress Dowager Cao?
The prince's veins were exposed on his forehead. He reached out and grabbed Eunuch Yang's arm: "What did you say? What happened to the imperial grandmother?"
Tears rolled down from Eunuch Yang's eyes: "Your Highness, please express my condolences! The Queen Mother has already left Hexi!"
