"Move all the cannons up the city wall of Donghua Gate, aim them at Duanben Palace, and blast them hard!" As soon as Donghua Gate was captured, King Zhu Ruodeng of Ji issued a military order to bombard the East Palace. The battle to capture the East Palace.
, it must be a quick and decisive battle. It was delayed for a long time, and the enemy's reinforcements arrived, and the victory fell short.
Duanben Palace is close to Donghua Gate, and cannons mounted on the city wall of Dongmenhua can hit every corner of Duanben Palace, so there is no danger to defend it!
"Boom~Boom~Boom~"
Intensive and ferocious artillery fire was fired at Duanben Palace, leaving the defenders dead and wounded, in pieces.
"Rumble", a section of the west city wall collapsed.
"Quickly, bring the sword cart over and block it for me," Yang Bangda roared and ordered his men to block the gap.
"Boom!"
Another cannonball fired, setting off a larger and more violent wave of fire. Yang Bangda felt as if his sea of consciousness had emptied out, and his body divided into several parts and flew in different directions.
The artillery stopped, and the miserable city wall was once again attacked by infantry. The black and endless crowd rushed towards Habumoto Palace, vowing to crush the crown prince and his gang.
"For His Highness, move forward!"
General Zhang Mingxiang, a close confidant of King Ji, led 500 dead men and bravely boarded the city.
Seeing that he was coming with great ferocity, Zhang Guoyong, the commander-in-chief of the prince's command, led his troops to fight back, trying to drive him down the city. However, one wave after another, more and more soldiers came to the city. Zhang Guoyong tried his best, but to no avail, and he was seriously injured.
, fought hard and died.
There is an endless stream of sergeants boarding the city.
"Boom", someone opened the heavy city gate from inside.
"Wan Sheng ~ Wan Sheng ~ Wan Sheng ~"
King Ji's army shouted for victory and roared into the city. The army was already strong and unstoppable.
The defenders collapsed, some fled in all directions, and some knelt down and asked to surrender. The officers and soldiers of the King of Ji's army were red-eyed and killed everyone they saw, regardless of whether the opponent surrendered or not.
"Go down with the order, don't kill too many, count the prisoners to see if there is any prince," Zhu Ruodeng ordered coldly.
After all, they were well-trained soldiers who had been on the battlefield. After receiving military orders, the killing gradually stopped. Group after group of prisoners were tied up with ropes and guarded.
"Your Highness, we have searched all the places and found no trace of the prince," Commander-in-Chief Chen Biao reported.
Zhu Ruodeng frowned and said, "Search again. Every inch of the place will be searched. If you want to see people alive, you will see corpses if you die!"
"Report, someone saw the prince going to the back garden under the protection of several guards."
"Report, a dry well was found in the back garden"??
There are constant messages coming in.
"Let's go and have a look in the back garden with Gu", Zhu Ruodeng sighed and led his followers to the back garden.
The back garden of the East Palace was originally planted with all kinds of rare treasures, colorful and in various shapes. Due to the devastation of the war, it is now in a mess.
"Your Highness, there is someone in the well, no, there is a body," the subordinate reported.
"Fetch it up," Zhu Ruodeng shouted sharply, his voice trembling.
A body was recovered.
"Who is this person?" Zhu Ruodeng asked several East Palace servants who were escorted here.
"Your Highness, this person is Yang Yuanhai, the concubine of the East Palace, who always guards the crown prince," an old chamberlain said tremblingly.
"Find again", Zhu Ruodeng's heart beat faster.
Another corpse was fished out, wearing a dragon robe and a Yishan crown.
"Your Majesty!"
When they saw the body, the servants of the East Palace prostrated themselves on the ground and howled loudly.
Zhu Ruodeng took a closer look and saw who his eldest brother was. At that moment, there was no joy of victory in his heart, only the pain of fratricide.
Boil the beans to make a soup, and drain the black soy sauce to make juice. The pods are burning under the cauldron, and the beans are weeping in the cauldron. They all grow from the same root, so why fry each other in a hurry?
"Tell me, how did the prince die?" Zhu Ruodeng asked the captured East Palace guards.
"After His Highness the Crown Prince retreated to the back garden, he did not want to be captured and humiliated, so he ordered his concubine Yang Yuanhai to kill himself. After Yang Yuanhai hacked His Highness to death, he threw his body into the well and then committed suicide in the well," a guard reported after witnessing the tragic scene at that time. "Alas! Brother, brother, if you hadn't pushed your stupid brother too hard, why would this have happened!" Zhu Ruodeng's tears flowed out. Whether he was really sad or showing it to the world, at that moment, he really shed tears.
I cried so hard that I was moved.
"Your Highness, my condolences, the prisoners have been brought, please deal with them," Chen Bangyan, a bachelor of Dongge University, reported.
Zhu Ruodeng said nothing and glanced at the prisoners coldly. Guan Shouzhen, Gu Yi, Tang Zhen, Xia Rubi, Guo Fengqian...all of them were important officials of the imperial court. Everyone felt a chill on their necks when he was caught by his gaze.<
/p>
He looked at Guan Shouzhen and snorted coldly: "The first assistant framed the Tian family and caused discord between my brothers, which led to today's tragic disaster. Do you feel at ease now?"
"Everyone is his master, and he has to be his ears," Guan Shou Zhen replied tremblingly. Although he tried hard to maintain his demeanor as the leader and assistant, his voice was intermittent and lacked energy.
"Now that things have come to this, you still dare to quibble. If someone comes, drag him down and behead him," Zhu Ruodeng shouted.
Several wolf-like bodyguards dragged down the guard gate, clicked their swords, and soon presented a white-haired head.
Everyone was terrified and lowered their heads.
Zhu Ruodeng looked at Gu Yi again. "It's over, it's over! Everyone knows that if you don't leave the gate, you can't save your life!" Gu Yi closed his eyes in pain, waiting for the fateful knife that was about to come.
The butcher's knife has not been cut off.
His Highness Zhu Ruodeng, King of Hebei Province in the Ming Dynasty, said: "The Guan thieves instigated discord among my brothers, which is why this disaster happened. I don't blame you for being deceived by them."
He also said to Gu Yi: "Don't be alarmed, Mr. Gu Ge. I know that you have also been deceived by the thieves. Please retreat with all the ministers. After the matter is over, I will still reuse Mr. Ge."
"You don't have to die?"
At this moment, a hint of gratitude flashed through Gu Yi's heart, and he wanted to express his gratitude to King Ji, so he swallowed it back and led the officers without saying a word, allowing the sergeants to escort him away.
Lu Shiyi secretly admired him when he saw it, and His Royal Highness's imperial skills were getting better and better day by day. After killing Guan Shouzhen, the princelings were leaderless and could no longer become a leader. After killing people to establish their power, they were gentle with them. The way of an emperor is to combine hardness and softness!
One person refused to retreat. Not only did he not retreat, but he scolded everyone in front of them, "Rebel, you relied on your own bravery, led your army to rebel, forced the prince to death, and killed the ministers without permission. Because of you, the principles are often turned upside down, and the lives of all people are ruined. Prosperity is ruined.
In the imperial capital, good people turn out to be unjust ghosts; in the glorious Ming Dynasty, demons and monsters run rampant. All these things cannot be tolerated by heaven! God hates it! God hates it!"
"Who is so bold? How dare you scold Gu!"
Zhu Ruodeng was furious and pulled out the steel sword. When he took a closer look, it was Tang Zhen, the right servant of the Ministry of Finance. He stared at Tang Zhen and sneered, "Shilang Tang is quite courageous. Could it be that he thinks Gu's sword is harmful to him?"
"Bah! Rebels, loyal ministers and righteous men, why should you fear death? Kill me quickly!" Tang Zhen showed no fear and kept scolding.
"So brave!"
Zhu Ruodeng was extremely angry. The emperor's brother had passed away, but these orthodox ministers still regarded themselves as traitors and cursed them one by one. Don't they know that the emperor is the one who has strong soldiers and horses? Which one can't tolerate it?
Endure!
"Come here, drag this guy down and kill him!" King Ji was furious, laying down millions of corpses and bleeding for thousands of miles.
"Wait!"
Two voices sounded at the same time.
Chen Bangyan advised: "Your Highness, you have created thousands of geniuses all over the world. It would be a pity to kill them!"
"Yes, Emperor Taizong did not kill Wei Zheng in order to have the rule of Zhenguan. Your Highness, who aspires to the world, should learn from Taizong," Lu Shiyi also advised.
Seeing that his two most trusted advisers did not agree with the killing, Zhu Ruodeng immediately changed his face and said with a smile: "I know that the Minister of the Tang Dynasty has always been loyal and loyal, so he is trying his best. Hahaha!"
