When Long Chen captured Shi Yuncheng in the Central Palace, Li Guangliang became an ant on the hot pot in Jingzhao Mansion.
Niu Jin, the commander of the front department, hurried into the room. Li Guangliang had just heard that the Privy Councilor Lu Qichang was back. He was confused and didn't know what to do.
"Sir, the imperial army is marching to the palace."
Niu Jin came in and said in a gloomy tone.
Li Guangliang said in a panic: "The Forbidden Army has moved? How many are there?"
Niu Jin said: "About ten thousand, the key is not the number, but that the leader is Yan Xifeng."
Li Guangliang said in surprise: "Yan Xifeng? Where is Zhou Hao?"
At such a critical moment, it is impossible for anyone to voluntarily give up military power. Only with arms in hand can they have a chance of survival.
Therefore, when he heard that the leader was Yan Xifeng, Li Guangliang immediately guessed that something had happened to Zhou Hao.
Niu Jin shook his head and said, "I don't know. I saw him in the afternoon, but then there was no news from him. It was like he disappeared."
Li Guangliang murmured to himself: "Disappeared..."
Li Guangliang looked very poor, and his hands were even a little trembling.
Zhou Hao disappeared and was probably killed by Lu Qichang.
"Didn't Shi Yuncheng go to the middle palace to meet the queen? How is the situation?"
When Shi Yuncheng left the Forbidden Army Yamen, Li Guangliang got the information. He wanted to know how Shi Yuncheng was doing.
Niu Jin shook his head and said: "Sir, Shi Yuncheng has just left, and Yan Xifeng has taken over the imperial army. I think the queen has a premeditated plan, and Shi Yuncheng should be in trouble."
"The situation is critical, adults must make a decision!"
The queen has taken control of the imperial army, Shi Yuncheng should have been captured, and the next step is to target the Jingzhao Mansion.
In times of crisis, decisions must be made quickly.
Li Guangliang shook his head slightly and said: "Lu Qichang has returned and has the king's imperial edict in his hand. If we take action, it will be rebellion."
Niu Jin frowned and said: "Sir, we are just plotting rebellion. Now that things have happened, are we trying to change things anyway?"
Li Guangliang was stunned and speechless.
Niu Jin encouraged Li Guangliang and said: "When the queen was discussing the matter, she already said that someone was planning to rebel. The assassins sneaked into the middle palace, which confirmed the name of rebellion. Your Excellency is retreating at this time. Could it be that you want to kill him at the provocation?"
Li Guangliang's face turned ugly when he heard this.
In addition to the things Niu Jin mentioned, there is also the affair between Li Guifei and Xiao Lizi.
The cause of everything lies with Xiao Lizi.
If Concubine Li Guifei had not had an affair with Xiao Lizi, and Xiao Lizi was in the Queen's Palace, none of this would have happened.
No, these are all the queen's tricks. The queen is deliberately setting up a trap and deliberately sending Xiao Lizi to sneak into Concubine Li's palace.
Li Guangliang gritted his teeth and said angrily: "It's just the opposite!"
Seeing that Li Guangliang finally agreed, Niu Jin became calm and advised: "Sir, we are not treason. The person who is treason is Shi Yuncheng."
"Shi Yuncheng led his troops to force the palace, killed the queen and the privy envoy, intending to usurp the throne and become king. Your Excellency led the troops to put down the rebellion!"
Niu Jin was very smart. He would never admit that he had conspired to rebel. All the charges were placed on Shi Yuncheng.
They are not rebels, Shi Yuncheng is, they are heroes, heroes who defend the country of Daxia.
Li Guangliang nodded and said: "Yes, that's it!"
"Calling all the generals, I will lead the troops to quell the chaos!"
Niu Jin was overjoyed and immediately summoned the government officials and Marquis Wu.
Soon, all the government officials in the city gathered at Jingzhao Mansion.
Li Guangliang was wearing fine armor and carrying a wild goose feather sword at his waist. He stood on the steps of Jingzhao Mansion and shouted to the generals below: "The king has a decree. Shi Yuncheng has rebelled. The queen is besieged in the palace. All the generals will follow me to kill the thieves!"
As he spoke, Li Guangliang shook out a secret edict against thieves in his hand.
The generals below were not too surprised when they saw the secret edict.
Everyone feels that the relationship with the Forbidden Army is very tense these days.
"Kill the thieves tonight, and those who have merit will be rewarded and made marquis."
Li Guangliang encouraged him loudly, and the soldiers below, not knowing whether it was true or not, followed him by shouting: "Kill!"
Li Guangliang mounted his horse, and Niu Jin, the commander of the palace front department, followed him and led more than 10,000 troops to the central palace.
At this time, Yan Xifeng had already arrived at the entrance of the Central Palace.
When the Imperial Guard saw Yan Xifeng, they were surprised and said, "Deputy Commander, why are you here?"
Yan Xifeng took out the Forbidden Army token and scolded: "Eastern Zhou spies sneaked into the royal city, I will take over the Imperial Army! Everyone obey the orders of the Queen and the Privy Council!"
These Imperial Guards felt baffled, why did they suddenly obey Yan Xifeng's command?
"Vice Commander, the second prince is still inside..."
A captain raised a question, Yan Xifeng's face turned cold, he unsheathed the sharp blade at his waist and chopped off the captain's head with one blow.
Everyone was shocked, and Yan Xifeng shouted: "Take it down!"
The more than 400 people outside the palace were nothing to Yan Xifeng, and he captured them all in an instant.
After taking control, Yan Xifeng shouted to the palace: "Forbidden Army Yan Xifeng asks to see the Queen, Privy Envoy!"
When the maids in the palace heard the sound, they immediately rushed into the main hall and reported: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Guard Yan Xifeng is outside the door asking to see you!"
When she heard that Yan Xifeng was coming, the queen was overjoyed and said, "Your plan has come true!"
Long Chen was also very happy and said: "Please come to the palace gate to take over the imperial army."
The queen turned to look at the fake Lu Qichang and asked, "What about him?"
Long Chen shook his head and said: "Mother, you don't need it anymore."
The queen nodded and walked to the palace gate with Long Chen and Yu Yao.
The door opened, and the queen was wearing a phoenix robe, looking solemn.
Yan Xifeng immediately dismounted and paid homage: "General Yan Xifeng, please pay homage to the queen!"
The generals and colonels behind him dismounted to pay their respects.
The queen finally felt at peace when she looked at the more than 10,000 imperial troops.
"Yan Xifeng listens!"
The queen repeated her old trick, and Yan Xifeng marched with military salute to receive the order: "The last general will receive the order!"
The queen said loudly: "The king has a decree to appoint Yan Xifeng as the commander of the imperial army!"
Yan Xifeng was overjoyed and worshiped: "General, I would like to thank you, the king, for your kindness, and thank you, my empress!"
The queen handed the "Imperial Edict" to Yan Xifeng and said majestically: "Commander Yan, from today on, you are the commander of the imperial army. You must kill thieves for Daxia."
Yan Xifeng bowed and said, "In the end, I will definitely live up to your Majesty and Queen."
The queen nodded slightly and said loudly again: "The privy envoy sent back the imperial edict that Li Yan, the imperial concubine, and Li Guangliang, the governor of Jingzhao, colluded with the Eastern Zhou rebellion. The king has an edict to kill Li Yan and Li Guangliang to quell the rebellion!"
"Those who have meritorious service will be granted the title of Marquis!"
The soldiers behind him were confused as to why they suddenly changed their commanders and suddenly accused Li Yan and Li Guangliang of collaborating with the enemy and treason.
When the soldiers were in shock, Yan Xifeng shouted loudly: "The last general has ordered us to kill the rebels Li Yan and Li Guangliang!"
Behind him, a forbidden soldier suddenly ran over and shouted: "Empress, deputy commander, the people of Jingzhao Mansion and the brothers have started to kill."
There are 40,000 forbidden troops in the city, but there are only more than 10,000 forbidden troops assembled here. There are still people patrolling the streets and city walls.
After Li Guangliang came out of Jingzhao Mansion, his soldiers could not be restrained properly, and they fought with the Forbidden Army on the way.
The queen was furious and cursed: "The traitor Li Guangliang has rebelled, and he still won't put down the rebellion!"
Yan Xifeng bowed and said: "The last general has received the decree!"
After getting on his horse, Yan Xifeng shouted: "Follow me to kill the thief!"
Yan Xifeng immediately led his troops to fight with Li Guangliang, and a melee began in the city.
"Your Majesty, there is chaos outside the palace, please close the palace door!"
When Long Chen spoke, the queen immediately sealed the palace gate, and all the guards in the palace protected the queen.
"Your Majesty, if we are killing thieves outside the palace, we must eradicate the rebellion in the palace!"
"I request to lead troops to capture Concubine Shu and Imperial Concubine!"
Long Chen took the initiative to ask for help.
The queen said happily: "Okay, I will give you twenty guards."
But Long Chen shook his head and said: "Your Majesty has a body of a thousand pieces of gold. The guards will stay to protect your Majesty. I will only take the people from Wanjin Tower with me."
Long Chen was talking about Lu Qichang and the fake Tie Yaozi. These people were spies from Xichang. Long Chen said they were from Wanjin Tower.
At this time, there was chaos inside and outside the city, and Long Chen had to find a way for them to evacuate safely. Bayi Chinese website
"Okay, be careful, you must take down these two bitches!"
The queen hated Concubine Li and Concubine Shu and wished she could eat their flesh and sleep on their skin.
