Hongshi glanced at Ha Tai who was stunned and said, "Okay, now that these things are out of the way, you can go out and make arrangements."
Ha Tai came back to his senses and left quickly. When it got dark, he came in and said: "My lord, everything has been arranged and the troops can be sent out at any time. What the subordinate told the soldiers was to kill the traitorous concubine."
, to reorganize the imperial court. Those people are accustomed to obeying orders, so they will not be suspicious."
"Okay." Hongshi flicked his robe, stood up and said, "Send the signal and tell Akshan that it's time to take action."
Ha Tai nodded and went out. After a while, he used fireworks as a signal to launch into the sky. Akshan, who was far away in the capital, saw the signal and quickly ordered his close soldiers to lead troops to control the nine gates of the capital.
When groups of soldiers passed by on the empty streets, many people were alarmed. Yunxiang was one of them. After listening to the report from his subordinates, he ignored Mo Yu's objections and had people help him to the door.
He asked his servant to open the door a little so that he could see the soldiers passing by holding torches.
Yunxiang watched silently. After the last soldier disappeared from sight, he said softly, "Finally... it begins."
If Hongshi were here, he would definitely be panicking, because Yunxiang at this time is no different from before except that he is weaker. Both his spirit and his words are very clear.
Mo Yu looked at Yunxiang nervously, "Your Majesty, what happened in the capital? Why did so many soldiers appear all at once?"
"These are soldiers from the infantry yamen. As for why they are dispatched at this time..." Yunxiang sneered and said, "That's because there are people who are obsessed with treachery and have been thinking about the location of Yangxin Hall."
"It's the second elder brother, right? He wants to force the palace?" Although Mo Yu has been staying in the palace and rarely going out, it does not mean that he knows nothing about the outside world, especially before Yunxiang deliberately pretended to be seriously ill.
After Yunxiang nodded, she said nervously: "Oh no, if this happens, wouldn't the emperor and the imperial concubine be in danger? My lord, please think of a solution quickly."
Yunxiang patted her hand and said: "Don't worry, everything is under the control of the emperor. If the second elder brother forces the palace, he can only bring about his own destruction."
"That's good." Mo Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said in confusion: "Since the emperor already knew that the second elder brother had the intention to rebel, why didn't he make preparations earlier and let things develop instead?"
"The emperor wants to eliminate all the minions hidden in the court, including the second elder brother and the Nala clan, to prevent future troubles. Only by removing these cancers can the Qing Dynasty truly prosper. And..." Yunxiang sighed softly.
Said: "The emperor always thinks about the relationship between father and son, and is unwilling to complete things until the last moment."
"That's it." Mo Yu nodded lightly, and then said: "Others always think that the emperor has always been harsh and unkind. In fact, it is only after we have been together for a long time that we realize that the emperor is the most affectionate person."
Yunxiang held Mo Yu's hand and walked inside. In the night wind, a heavy word came, "The emperor values love, but some people regard power as everything."
In Prince Bao's Mansion, Hongli also saw this scene, but he did not know as much as Yunxiang. He was full of worries and did not know what the Infantry Yamen wanted to do by sending troops at this time.
Just when the infantry yamen was dispatched, 40,000 troops from Fengtai Camp also arrived outside Desheng Gate. At this time, the city gate had already been closed. Ha Tai drove his horse forward and shouted loudly: "Where is the city guard?"
When the city guard responsible for guarding Desheng Gate heard the shouting, he quickly came to the top of the city. When he saw the large number of torches and troops outside the city, he was startled and said in a trembling voice: "Who is outside the city gate?"
Ha Tai replied: "I am the commander of the Fengtai camp. There is a difficulty in the capital. I have been ordered to come to King Qin to escort him! Why don't you open the city gate quickly!"
"Is there a problem in the capital? What difficulty is there in the capital?" the city guard asked the people around him strangely, and the answer he received was no.
The city guard endured the strangeness in his heart and said to Ha Tai who was under the city gate: "Your Majesty, the city gate has been closed. According to regulations, it cannot be opened before dawn tomorrow. Please allow your Majesty to enter the city after dawn."
Ha Tai shouted in a deep voice: "Bold, I came to escort you on the emperor's order, but you didn't open the city gate. If something happens to the emperor, can you afford it?"
The city guard also murmured in his heart. After thinking for a while, he boldly said: "In that case, please ask Master Hatai to show the imperial edict to this villain."
"Okay!" Ha Tai agreed, and then asked Hongshi next to him, "Your Majesty, he refuses to open the door, what should I do?"
Hongshi said expressionlessly: "Don't worry, Akshan should soon lead his troops to control the nine gates, just wait a little longer."
Just as Ha Tai was about to agree, the city gate that had been closed suddenly opened slowly. When the city guard saw the movement on the city tower, he suddenly panicked and shouted: "Who opened the city gate? Hurry up and close it.
"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of heavily armed soldiers rushed up and arrested him and the other officers guarding the city.
The person responsible for taking over the Desheng Gate was Akshan's confidant and knew what they were going to do, so after opening the city gate, he immediately knelt down on one knee and loudly said: "I have been ordered by the commander of the infantry yamen to welcome the prince and Fengtai.
The commander of the camp has entered the capital to escort King Qin, and the commander is waiting in the city!"
"Okay!" After saying this, Hongshi was the first to ride his horse into the city gate, followed closely by Ha Tai with tens of thousands of troops from the Fengtai camp.
Along the way, Hongshi and the others did not encounter any obstacles. When passing by Hongli's mansion, Hongshi suddenly stopped, and then said: "Hatai, bring a team of people and follow me in."
Ha Tai said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, Akshan is waiting there. We'd better meet him quickly and then enter the palace."
"We have already reached this point, do you think things will change? Besides, it is only a short delay. After bringing my good brother with me, we will go there immediately."
Seeing what Hongshi said, Ha Tai had no choice but to obey his order and personally led a group of elite soldiers to follow him there, while the rest stayed where they were and waited.
The gatekeeper saw so many people coming through the crack in the door. How could he dare to open the door? No matter how loud he shouted from outside, he could not hear it. But with only a door, how could he stop Hongshi and the others? After a moment of silence
Afterwards, the door was forcibly opened, and Hongshi and others did not even dismount, but just rode in.
Everyone, whether sleeping or not asleep, was startled by such a big movement and rushed over to see what was going on. Hongshi didn't pay attention to these people at all, and just kept scanning the crowd until he saw a trace of people.
