And Huo Tu, Minister of the Ministry of War on the city, immediately said to the prince: "The soldiers on the top of the city are in danger right now. Please hide under the city, and report to the prince after I repel the emperor."

Although the prince has some abilities, but he grew up in the deep palace, where he had never seen such a scene, his heart started beating, but he knew that he must not retreat at this critical moment, otherwise the army's morale would be lost.

"Huo Aiqing, there's no need to be like this. Now is the critical moment, and all the soldiers are fighting bloody battles. How can Gu hide behind and let the soldiers down."

After the prince finished speaking, he ordered his personal guards to join the team defending the city, and he himself stood on the top of the tower to let all the soldiers see that he did not evade, and was still on the city with them. advance and retreat.

Seeing that the prince was so wise at the last moment, Huo Tu also had some confidence in defeating the emperor this time.

Seeing that the prince had made up his mind, Huo Tu began to pay attention to the situation in the city. He had been the minister of the Ministry of War for so many years, and he was still somewhat capable in military affairs. Seeing that the emperor sent people to attack the city, Huo Tu immediately ordered his soldiers to start defending.

As a result, rolling wood, thunder and stones were thrown down from the city like rain. Although the six Jiedu envoys below the city had many siege equipment, they lost a lot to this first wave of blows.

At this time, the longbowmen sent by Jia Ke behind them began to show their strength, and [-] arrows flew towards the city in an instant, and the defending soldiers on the city were hit by this wave of arrows and suffered heavy losses.

These people had never thought that bows and arrows could fly so far, and they had no defense at all, nor did they send heavy crossbows to suppress the English longbow.

At that time, Xie Hu on the top of the city saw this situation and understood that if these longbowmen were not suppressed, his city would be breached soon.

So Xie Hu came to Huo Tu and said: "My lord, the bows and arrows of those longbowmen can fly extremely long distances. I saw it in the battle with the Tatars a few days ago. We must suppress it immediately. .”

Huo Tu thought for a while, and immediately ordered the catapults and heavy crossbows to attack the English longbowmen. This time, the longbowmen received overwhelming blows and had to retreat temporarily to avoid more serious casualties.

At this moment, the elite soldiers of the six Jiedu envoys under the city began to lose a lot.Seeing this situation, Huo Tu also smiled with satisfaction. This time, the emperor's army will definitely suffer heavy losses, and they will have to retreat in the end. The two sides finally negotiated.

Just as the two sides were fighting bloody battles on the top of the city wall, refusing to give in to each other, and neither of them could do anything to the other, the Desheng Gate of the capital was rumbled open.

When Jia Ke saw this situation, she didn't know that the spies inside had succeeded.It seems that Dai Quan really has a lot of tricks, and he doesn't know when he sent the news.

Now is not the time to think about these things, Jia Ke took the [-] cavalry that had been prepared long ago, and Pegasus went straight to the city gate.

When the prince on the top of the city saw the city gate being opened, his face turned pale with fright. His original plan was to confront the emperor in the capital, but the emperor was forced to run out of food and grass, and finally had to agree to his terms.In this way, at least his life and wealth can be preserved. Even if the emperor should not do it in the end, he can wait until the emperor is exhausted to break out of the siege, go to the south of the Yangtze River to hide his name and spend his life safely, and even have the opportunity to rise up. There is still a day to return to power.

However, his thoughts have been shattered now. The gate of the capital was opened by someone. He also panicked. He didn't know what to do, so he just stood there in a daze.

At this time, Huo Tu was still relatively clear about the critical situation, so he hurriedly said to several generals under Liaodong Jiedushi's command, "Hurry up, lead your troops to block the city gate, and drive these people out."

But these people did not follow his order, but glanced at each other.They went forward together and tied the prince and Huo Tu, as well as Xie Hu and Zhang Chi.

Only then did the prince react, and shouted at them loudly: "You think that if you tie me up, nothing will happen to you. You have already participated in the rebellion, and the emperor will never let you go. If you are sensible, let the orphan go, Then go block the city gate. We still have a chance."

As a result, one of the generals said: "The prince is too late now. I saw clearly just now that it was Jia Ke who rushed up to grab the city gate, and he also brought countless cavalry. With our martial arts, how can we stop it?" Him? For the sake of our service for you, let us take credit for you to save our own lives."

Huo Tu was tied up at this time, but he was very unwilling. He said to these generals: "You are only afraid of Jia Ke's martial arts. I don't believe that he has three heads and six arms. If you go together, you are afraid that you will not be his opponent? Wait until these people are captured. Drive out of the city. After a long time, they will definitely retreat. And the crown prince can occupy at least half of the country, and all of you are the founding fathers of the country."

When he just said this, someone shouted: "I'm afraid it's a little late for my lord to say these words. If it was when there was no siege, they might still listen to you. Now, you still have these fantasies, really It's ridiculous."

The prince and Huo Tu turned their heads and saw that Jia Ke had rushed up to the tower with people, and the surrounding area was impenetrable. The soldiers on the top of the city had put down their weapons, knelt on the ground and surrendered to Jia Ke and the others.

Seeing this situation, those generals from Liaodong hurried forward, knelt down together and said to Jia Ke: "Master Jia, we don't really want to rebel, we are all under the order of Jiedu envoy Xie Hu, and now we have Capture the crown prince and Huo Tu, the general, please spare our lives for the sake of our merits."

"Forgive your lives, I can't make the decision, it depends on what the current emperor wants." After finishing these words, Jia Ke ordered the soldiers around: "Come here and tie up all these people. I will send them to the emperor later."

The surrounding soldiers immediately rushed up, tied up the generals one by one, and then they were taken down. At this time, only Jia Ke and a few of his personal soldiers were left near the head.

Jia Ke walked up to the prince and looked at him condescendingly. The prince seemed to have given up now, and stared at Jia Ke angrily. Jia Ke said to him slowly, "Your Highness, don't blame me. The world is still the emperor's place." Yes, Your Highness succeeded in the end, and you will be scolded by the world. How many emperors who forced their fathers to usurp the throne from ancient times to the present have a good end? Your Highness is still too young, and I am afraid that he was bewitched by the deployment and suffered in front of the emperor for a while. Beg me, the emperor will definitely think of the love between father and son. He will be punished lightly."

The prince was already in despair, thinking that he would die this time, but now listening to Jia Ke and Jia Ke's words, he seemed to have found a glimmer of hope, and took a deep look at Jia Ke.He didn't say anything else, just gritted his teeth and said, "You are very good, you are indeed worthy of being a descendant of the Rongguo Mansion. Without you, I might have succeeded."

Jia Ke replied blankly: "Even if there is no Jia Ke, there are others who will be loyal to the emperor. Even if His Highness succeeds, the world will be in chaos afterwards, which will only damage the vitality of our Central Plains and allow the Tatars to take advantage of it. It was a mistake."

Hearing what he said, the prince couldn't help but sneered: "If Gu doesn't do this, I'm afraid the end result won't be much better."

Jia Ke didn't want to discuss this matter with him again, after all, it was a matter of the royal family, and he wouldn't get involved too deeply.

Jia Ke looked back at Huo Tu who was next to him. Now Huo Tu was in a state of distress, the black yarn on his head had disappeared, and the official robes on his body had been torn into a mess.Where does he still look like the great Sima of the dynasty?

Jia Ke hated this Huo Tu more than anyone else. If he hadn't killed King Beijing Jing, the matter would not have come to this point.Moreover, the King of Beijing Jing took good care of him, Jia Ke, no matter what he did to others, he was considered a kind elder to him, Jia Ke.

Jia Kewo ordered his subordinates to take the prince and Huo Tu away and imprison them, waiting for the emperor's instructions.

After Jia Ke went down to the city, he ordered his troops to wipe out the army of Liaodong Jiedushi, and outside the city, people from all walks of life also began to enter the city one after another. It took only one day to command Liaodong Jiedushi and the rebellious imperial army and infantry. Yamen's army is all under control.

At this time, every household in the capital closed their doors, for fear that the chaos would break in.Jia Ke was worried about the safety of the Ningrong Second Mansion, and asked his confidant Ma Zuo to lead a thousand cavalry to guard the Ningrong Second Mansion to prevent them from being harassed by the rebels.

It was not until the next morning that all the turmoil in the capital subsided, but the army still blocked the nine gates, and no one could enter or exit.The streets are also heavily guarded to prevent riots.All officials must stay at home and wait for the emperor's orders.

Chapter 242 Fainting

Jia Ke has been patrolling around the capital with his men and horses since the morning, whenever he encounters petty thieves or people who take advantage of the fire.Jia Ke first ordered someone to arrest him and throw him into the prison of the infantry commander's yamen.In the future, the nine admirals reappointed by the emperor will deal with these people.Now Jia Ke is trying to suppress all hidden dangers in the city, so as not to frighten the emperor at all when he enters the capital.

At noon, Jia Ke inspected the entire city and felt relieved when he found nothing.At this time, Jia Ke took the emperor's full suit of luggage and went to the barracks to ask the emperor to re-enter the city.

The emperor did not enter the city on horseback this time, but entered the capital on a jade chariot. Although the capital is stable now, there are still one or two princes loyal to him. If the emperor is assassinated, the court will set off a huge wave.

So Jia Ke pulled out the jade chariot from the palace and sent it to the barracks, so that the emperor could take the jade chariot, and under the protection of many guards, he came all the way from Deshengmen to the palace.

On the way, the emperor looked out from the imperial chariot, and saw that all the places he passed had been under martial law and everyone was not allowed to enter. It seems that Jia Ke also made some arrangements for himself to return to the palace safely, although it was somewhat Disturbing the people, but at this very moment, I have to do so.

In the jade chariot, the emperor was full of emotions, this time he was really in danger, he was almost going to stay in the imperial mausoleum forever, and now thinking about the danger in it, he still has lingering fears.

The emperor didn't feel at ease until he returned to the palace. Only here did he feel that he had regained control of the empire. All kinds of information kept coming, and the army of the whole country was under control again. At this time, the emperor was completely relieved. Come.

With this relaxation, the emperor's condition started to flare up again, and he had been struggling these days.But when he returned to the palace, all the pressure was put down, and the illness that he forcibly suppressed surged up, and the attack was very fierce. The emperor felt dark before his eyes when he had just dealt with some aftermath. Clutching at the case, he wanted to persevere, but he still felt dark and passed out.

This frightened Dai Quan who was on the side. He was very clear about the physical condition of the emperor. He often suffered from dizziness. This time, the emperor's condition began to worsen during the turmoil. When he was in Jia Ke's barracks, the emperor had several seizures. back.It's just that the emperor gritted his teeth and persisted for the sake of the overall situation, and kept himself from revealing it to the outside world.

After the emperor fainted, Dai Quan hurried over to help him up, and then ordered someone to send him to the bed in the palace to settle him down.

But now the queen and all the concubines are in the imperial mausoleum, and they haven't come back yet. There is no one in the capital to call the shots.In this situation, Dai Quan hurriedly ordered someone to inform Jia Ke, after all, Jia Ke is now considered the emperor's confidant.

After the person who notified Jia Ke left, Dai Quan ordered people to find the imperial physician and come to treat the emperor.Now what Dai Quan thinks is, if the emperor really can't wake up this time, to whom will this thousand miles of land be handed over?

At this time, Jia Ke was leading the yamen of the infantry, and he used it as the hub to control the whole city. Jia Ke's troops from Xuanfu Town and Wang Ziteng's three battalions exchanged information here to control the whole city.

Although Jia Ke had already entered the capital yesterday, he hadn't returned to the mansion to take a look. He was about to finish the last few business affairs before going back to the Rongguo Mansion to see how his parents and the old lady were doing.This time Jia Ke ruined the prince's affairs, I don't know if the prince took his anger out on them.

Just as Jia Ke led the people out of the gate of the infantry commander's yamen, he saw a young eunuch galloping towards him in the distance.

Seeing that Jia Ke seemed to be going out, he immediately shouted anxiously: "Master Jia, please stay, Eunuch Dai ordered me to send a letter to your lord."

Jia Ke heard someone calling him, turned around and saw a little eunuch Fei running over.

Jia Ke immediately stopped and waited for the little eunuch to come to him and asked, "You were sent by Eunuch Dai? What's the matter?"

The little eunuch looked around, didn't say much, just said: "Eunuch Dai asked the younger one to invite Master Jia to enter the palace immediately, saying that there is something important to talk about."

When Jia Ke heard this, she felt a little bad. Now that the emperor had returned to the palace, there was no need for Dai Quan to send an order to invite Jia Ke into the palace.
