"Your Majesty has an order to order the Chenggao Army to lift its supervision of the Second Army of the North."
A few hours later, when the sky was dark, General Zhu Hai of the Chenggao Army, who had garrisoned on the northwest side of the Zhongyang Palace, received an order from the Emperor of Wei.
It is undeniable that Zhu Hai and the Cheng Gao Army under his command were quite fast. Within two hours of the Northern Second Army arriving at Zhongyang, Zhu Hai also led the Cheng Gao Army to Zhongyang. This means that Zhu Hai's garrison
When he was in Xingyang, he always paid attention to every move of the Second North Army and monitored this army that was suspected of participating in the rebellion.
However, the facts were different from Zhu Hai's guess. By the time he led the Second Army of the North to Zhongyang Palace, the Second Army of the North had assisted the Junshui Army in putting down the rebellion of the Yangwu Army and the Nanyan Army, so that the entire Zhongyang Army was
Yangxing Palace became quiet again, so Zhu Hai did not dare to make any independent decisions and first sent General Zhou Kui to inquire about the situation.
It would be best to meet the Holy Spirit in person and get a definite answer from Emperor Wei.
At this moment, the group of dredging army cavalry in front of Zhu Hai was the envoy specially sent by Emperor Wei after learning that Cheng Gao's army had arrived at Zhongyang Palace. From the mouths of these dredging army cavalry, Zhu Hai had a general understanding.
The process of the rebellion in Zhongyang Palace last night.
When he heard that the Northern Second Army under the command of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, assisted the Jun Shui Army in putting down the rebellion, Zhu Hai felt like Cao Jie of the Jun Shui Army last night, with an unbelievable feeling.
Zhu Hai was one of the participants in the grudges between Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, and Emperor Wei. How could he not be clear about it?
Suddenly, Zhu Hai sniffed and muttered.
"What's the matter, General?" Zuo asked in confusion.
"Nothing." Zhu Hai turned to look at the south side of Zhongyang Palace, with a hint of displeasure and hostility on his face.
At the same time, in the southeast of Zhongyang Palace, General Sima An of the Dangshan Army was standing on the slope where Xiao Luan was last night, looking at the Zhongyang Palace in the distance with a stern look.
Not far behind him, thousands of cavalrymen from the hunting cavalry battalion of the Dangshan Army, all wet, were standing or sitting, silently munching on dry food.
It has to be said that the heavy rain last night delayed the arrival of the Dangshan Army's cavalry at Zhongyang Palace. If it hadn't been for this heavy rain, the cavalry of the Dangshan Army's hunting cavalry battalion led by General Sima An would have
Generally, they can arrive at Zhongyang Palace within about an hour after the Second Army of the North arrives and participate in quelling the chaos.
"The Southern Yan Army... secretly plotted a rebellion and helped the Yang Wu Army, while the Northern Second Army put down the rebellion? Is that what happened?"
After pondering for a moment, Sima An asked the cavalry of the dredging army who came to inform him.
"Yes, General Sima." The leader of the dredging cavalry team replied with clasped fists.
After receiving the confirmed reply, Sima An frowned slightly.
Although Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, was destined to be the biggest contributor to the palace's quelling the chaos, Sima An did not trust this man at all.
After all, according to various information he knew, it was proved that Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, and Xiao Luan, the leader of Xiao Ni, had an ulterior cooperation.
But having said that, since Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, finally chose to abandon the dark side and surrender to the bright side, and the Second Army of the North put down the rebellion, then even if Sima An and others have a lot of suspicions and suspicions about him, they can only keep these suspicions and suspicions in their hearts.
.
Sima An felt very uncomfortable knowing that the other party was harboring evil intentions but could not find a way to eradicate them.
At this time, several cavalry from the hunting cavalry battalion came in a hurry and reported to Sima An: "General."
"Hmm." Sima An nodded and asked, "What's going on?"
The cavalrymen from the hunting cavalry battalion shook their heads, and then said with a smile: "We didn't find any rebels who were hiding, but we did see His Highness Prince Su."
"Prince Su Zhao Run?" Sima An was stunned when he heard this.
Sima An still had a very good impression of Zhao Hongrun, His Royal Highness Prince Su. Although there was some friction between the two of them at first, after resolving the conflict, Sima An gradually discovered that His Highness was both strong and soft in conquering Sanchuan.
The technique is indeed much more effective than Sima An's method of "slaughtering and stamping".
What's more, His Highness Prince Su is not blindly merciful. For example, in the "Battle of Sanchuan of Wei and Qin", His Highness Prince Su destroyed 200,000 Qin troops in one battle. At that time, Sima Anyuan was in Dangshan. When he heard about this
Everyone applauded this afterwards.
"Isn't His Highness Prince Su in Zhongyang Palace?"
Sima An felt a little puzzled. After all, according to what the dredging army cavalry had just told, King Su Zhao Hongrun was commanding the order to quell the chaos outside the main hall of the Central Palace last night. How could he be outside the palace?
After being puzzled for a long time, Sima An finally sent fifty cavalry to escort Prince Su back to Zhongyang Palace.
A moment later, under the protection of the fifty cavalrymen from the Dangshan Army's hunting cavalry battalion, Zhao Hongrun, several Zongwei and several Qingya soldiers returned to the Zhongyang Palace with Sixth Prince Zhao Yuanli.
At that time, Li Zheng, the president of the Third Guards Army, was commanding the soldiers of the Dredging Army and the Second North Army to move the corpses. When he saw King Su Zhao Hongrun and King Yi Zhao Yuanli returning to the Zhongyang Palace, he couldn't help but be stunned.
You know, Prince Yi Zhao Yuanli was mercifully let go by Emperor Wei last night, but unexpectedly, after a long journey, Prince Yi was actually brought back by His Highness Prince Su.
"This is not a good idea..."
Frowning, Li Zheng immediately stepped forward to greet him. After glancing at Yi Wang Zhao Yuanli, he clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, Prince Su, please take a step to speak."
Zhao Hongrun looked back at Zhao Yuanli, the Sixth Uncle, and ordered Zongwei Lu Mu to take the Sixth Uncle to Zhen Palace. Then, he got off his horse and followed Li Zheng to a corner.
After leading Su Wang Zhao Hongrun and his clan guard Wei Jiao to a corner, Li Zheng looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, Su Wang, why did you bring Prince Yi back?"
He secretly revealed Emperor Wei's intention to Zhao Hongrun: Your Highness Prince Su, how did you capture Prince Yi? How will Your Majesty deal with Prince Yi?
After hearing this, Zhao Hongrun was silent for a while.
His original intention of leading people to catch up with Sixth Uncle Zhao Yuanli and his entourage was not for the sake of righteousness and annihilation of relatives, but because he could not understand why Sixth Uncle wanted to cooperate with Xiao Ni, so he wanted to ask clearly. Unexpectedly, the Sixth Uncle did not know who he was.
Why did he think that he had to wait until he returned to Zhongyang Palace before telling Zhao Hongrun the inside story? Zhao Hongrun had no choice but to take Uncle Liu Wang back to Zhongyang Palace.
After thinking about it, Zhao Hongrun bowed deeply towards Li Zheng, raised his hands and begged: "General Li, please help me hide it."
"Your Highness, don't worry, Li knows." Li Zheng nodded.
Of course he understood that Zhao Hongrun's words of "concealment" were not directed at the "Emperor Wei", but at the many guests in the central palace last night.
Because there is no need to conceal Emperor Wei: as long as many people do not know that King Yi Zhao Yuanli is in Zhongyang Palace at this moment, Emperor Wei will naturally turn a blind eye to this matter. Otherwise, Emperor Wei will not
Deliberately giving Zhao Yuanli a chance to escape; on the other hand, once the matter of "King Yi Zhao Yuanli being captured and taken back to Zhongyang Palace" was revealed, even if Emperor Wei didn't want to kill Zhao Yuanli, he would have no choice but to kill him cruelly.
After the instructions were given, Zhao Hongrun took the Zongwei Chief Wei Jiao to the "Kan Palace" in the north to report to Emperor Wei and Concubine Shen Shu that they were safe. After all, he left without saying goodbye after the rebellion was put down late last night and went to pursue the Six Kings.
Uncle Zhao Yuanli believes that Emperor Wei and Concubine Shen Shu have already known about this matter.
When Zhao Hongrun arrived at Kan Palace, he was surprised to find that his father, Emperor Wei, and Prince Zhao Yuanzuo of Nanliang were standing in a corner of the corridor outside the palace, talking in low voices.
"...I thought about it for a long time, but I still feel surprised that you would stand on my side."
Looking at the dredging soldiers on duty outside Kan Palace, Emperor Wei put his hands behind his back and said calmly.
"Your Majesty, you think I will side with Xiao Ni?" Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, laughed when he heard this, shook his head and said, "As your Majesty said, Xiao Ni is a rebellious minister and a traitor. Last night's rebellion has fully proved that Xiao Luan wants to
What you want is not to vindicate the Xiao family at all, but to take revenge on me, the Great Wei...that is, the sixth child, who was deceived by Xiao Luan."
"..." Emperor Wei glanced at Zhao Yuanzuo after hearing this, and then asked calmly: "In other words, Xiao Luan has indeed been looking for you?"
"Yes." Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, replied without any secret.
Seeing this, Emperor Wei's face darkened and he said coldly: "Why don't you report it to me?"
After hearing this, Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang, chuckled and said: "Even if I report it to your majesty, will your majesty trust me? No... In this case, it is better to wait and see what happens. Anyway, I am watching, even if Xiao Ni does something
I can also try to turn the tide of a rebellion like the one last night... Moreover, I can also gain His Majesty's trust by the way, so why not?"
"..." Emperor Wei took a deep look at Zhao Yuanzuo, King of Nanliang.
Although he actually still had plans for Xiao Ni's rebellion last night, it is undeniable that if Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, ordered the Northern Second Army to assist Xiao Ni's rebellion last night, the situation would become quite bad.
After all, because of the heavy rain last night, the Chenggao Army and the Dangshan Army were at least an hour later than the Second Bei Army. If the Second Bei Army rebelled last night, it would definitely be very fatal at this hour.
Under such circumstances, the Southern Liang King Zhao Yuanzuo and the Second Northern Army under his command resolutely stood by Zhao Yuansi's side, which made Zhao Yuansi slightly more trustful in the third prince brother who was once afraid of him.
Perhaps this was the purpose of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Nanliang: the reason why he cooperated with Zhao Yuanli and Xiao Luan was that he was prepared to sell these two people at the most critical moment in order to gain the trust of Wei Emperor Zhao Yuanci.
Thinking of this, Emperor Wei said with some emotion: "Is this why you cooperated with Yuan Yu and Xiao Luan? To sell them out at a critical moment?"
After hearing this, the King of Nanliang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I betrayed Xiao Luan, a traitor, but I did not betray Yuan Ren. From the beginning to the end, I did not cause trouble for him, right?"
"I really hope you would have stood up and caused trouble for him."
Emperor Wei glanced at the King of Nanliang and said with an inexplicable expression.
Nanliang King Zhao Yuanzuo smiled faintly, and then noticed King Su Zhao Hongrun walking towards him, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Your Highness King Su is here."
Emperor Wei turned around and saw Zhao Hongrun, who was all wet, walking towards him.
"Hongrun."
"Father." Zhao Hongrun walked up to Emperor Wei and cupped his hands. Then, he turned his attention to the King of Nanliang, Zhao Yuanzuo: "And...the King of Nanliang."
