Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

"How could I harm uncle? Uncle, why did you say that!"

Whenever the prince Gao Yin became anxious and nervous, he would stutter and be unable to speak. Gao Zhan suddenly drew a knife in front of him to kill people, which frightened him out of his mind. Although he was showing weakness now, the words he said were still evil. Complaint, which made Gao Yin panic even more.

But when he saw Cheng Xiuning, the Forbidden Army Governor who fell to the ground dead with blood still gushing from his wound, his face gradually turned from panic to serious. He pointed at Gao Zhan and said angrily: "The Chengdu Governor committed this crime." What a sin, my uncle wanted to kill him on the spot! Although I will not murder my uncle, it is my duty to uphold the law of the country! "

He cherishes his life when doing great things, and forgets his life when he sees small gains. This is the kind of person Gao Zhan is talking about. If you ask him to plan and implement some major event, he will inevitably hesitate and look forward and backward. However, when he feels that he has the advantage and wants to do something, he will be more active than anyone else.

Although the prince's words also contained a hint of rebuke, as long as he didn't imitate Gao Zhan and directly order him to be killed on the spot, it would be nothing different from him. He doesn't care about any family rules or national laws.

When he heard that the prince did not intend to take revenge on him, Gao Zhan suddenly became more relaxed. He stood up from the ground, pointed at Cheng Xiuning's body and said loudly to the prince: "Don't you know that the prince is this thief?" What have you committed? Now that the Supreme Being is out hunting, all the affairs of the family and state are entrusted to the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince asks himself, can you alone take on such a heavy responsibility?

From top to bottom in the country, who can be more loyal to the country and share important responsibilities for the prince than the clan members? When something happens in the country, the prince doesn't look up to his family members, so who can he look up to? This thief was supposed to stay in the guard, but he kept the King of Henan away and refused to let him come to support the prince. He seemed to be loyal, but in fact he wanted to hold him hostage. He wanted to keep the prince far away from the clan brothers and get close to the evil villain. If I don't kill him now, and I will further encourage his arrogance, the prince will be harmed by him in the future! "

Gao Zhan's appeal was so justified that after hearing it, Prince Gao Yin was speechless for a moment. After a long while, he whispered again: "Even if things are really as uncle said, it should be Only when the case is finalized can the canonical punishment be clarified, and he should not be lynched. Also, it is not the Governor of Chengdu who does not want the King of Henan to enter the palace, but me. I am worried that the King of Henan will be hurt when he enters the North Palace... …”

"So, the prince still thinks that I am guilty? My crime is that I am loyal to the country, and my crime is that I am jealous of evil. I draw my sword to kill an ugly person when I see it. Since I know that it is ugly, do I still have to savor its odor?"

Gao Zhan saw that the prince's tone had weakened and his own tone suddenly became higher. Now he didn't even want to admit his mistake, so he glared and asked.

Although the Lord of Qi, Gao Yang, was absurd and tyrannical, he also attached great importance to his son's education, so much so that he protected the prince so well that he rarely saw Gao Zhan acting like a rogue, and was left speechless when he was questioned by Gao Zhan.

Gao Xiaoyu, who had been watching from the sidelines, now admired his uncle so much that any thought of contempt that he had because Gao Zhan was hiding at home and did not dare to participate in the matter was gone.

Seeing that the prince had been suppressed by Gao Zhan and was speechless, he stepped forward to smooth things over and said, "Uncle, didn't you say that the situation in Ye Palace is critical? Now that the prince has come out, it's better to inform him quickly and send people to rescue him as soon as possible. ?”

Only then did the prince remember that he was going out for this matter, so he quickly asked: "Excuse me, uncle, how many rebels have entered the city? What is the current situation in the palace? How come I have no one in Beigong?" What do you think? How many rescuers should be sent to quell the chaos?"

"The prince came to ask me because he was in a hurry. There is no need to ask whether he is guilty of me or upholding the laws of the country?"

Gao Zhan's character was a bit unforgiving when he was in a position of power, and he didn't know when to stop. He still said in a cold voice with no temper, and was a little unhappy that Gao Xiaoyu changed the subject and rolled his eyes at the other party.

When the prince apologized and asked questions again, he started making nonsense again: "There were many troops entering the city. I wanted to be led by someone who knew the route and situation in the city. After entering the city, I took the forbidden road directly. I led my servants to fight with a general. The rebels have been forced back for the time being, but I don’t know when they will come back. The current plan is for the prince to quickly bring troops into the palace to protect the queen and others. I will be able to keep the harem safe. "

After hearing the words, the prince nodded in agreement. He had little experience in dealing with major matters, and he lacked his father's talent for being alert and decisive in dealing with situations. Today, various accidents occurred frequently, which has made him confused and his judgment has become worse. He was worried about the safety of his mother and others in the inner palace, so he immediately ordered to follow Gao Zhan's suggestion, summon the guards of the Beigong, and then mobilize a group of people to the Santai Camp and then go south to rescue the palace.

There were about a thousand soldiers in Beigong's guard, and there were also more than a thousand people brought by Gao Xiaoyu. Together with another thousand troops transferred from the Santai camp, there were three thousand troops.

Since Cheng Xiuning, the governor of Beigong Suwei, had been killed by Gao Zhan, and Hu Luguang killed Ke Zhu Huntian, who was dispatching troops to the camp, he then sent his confidants to take control of the Governor's Mansion. At this time, there was no one available for the prince.

He sent people to the Governor's Mansion to summon him, but there was still no response. He was worried that something bad might happen if he waited any longer, so he handed over the command of this group to Gao Zhan, and then the group hurried to Go to Ye Palace.

"Uncle is really smart, letting the prince fall into his trap so easily!"

During the march, Gao Xiaoyu came close to Gao Zhan and praised him sincerely.

Gao Zhan also laughed and accepted the compliment in full, feeling equally grateful for the prince's simplicity and stupidity. He didn't take the lead to attend the meeting this night, and when he left the house this time, he just wanted to take advantage of the undecided situation to collect some marginal contributions, so as not to be left with nothing to say afterwards, but he didn't expect that things would take such an interesting turn.

According to the current situation, he has already held the prince hostage, and then with the power of the forbidden army in his hand, he will control everyone in the palace city and the imperial city, and he will immediately become the core cadre of this coup. Even Gao Yan, who is currently in his camp outside the city, may not be able to control as many people as he can.

Because the prince was accompanying them all the way, the group had smooth access. Gao Zhan continued to convey orders along the way, and sent some of the commanders and generals in the team to other places. The remaining Forbidden Army soldiers were temporarily integrated under the leadership of his close associates. By the time the team passed Zhangshui, he had basically controlled it. This team of people.

Even if some governors and soldiers noticed something unusual because of Gao Zhan's actions, it would be difficult for them to convey their findings to the prince who had already been surrounded by Gao Zhan's confidants, and Gao Zhan had previously directly killed the governor Cheng Xiuning with such ferocity. Their attitude also made them fearful, and they did not dare to openly resist the orders of others.

After crossing Zhangshui River, they entered Ye Palace. Gao Zhan went directly to the gate with Prince Gao Yin. Seeing that the crown prince was leading the troops, the general of the imperial army who was on duty did not doubt that he was there, so he opened the door to welcome him. Come in.

"Have the rebels who attacked the inner palace retreated?"

After the prince entered the palace gate, he immediately summoned the governor and asked quickly.

The governor was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head in confusion and said: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, everything is safe and sound in the palace tonight. Didn't Your Highness hear that there was any chaos..."

Before he could finish speaking, Hou Shikai and his troops suddenly rushed out, quickly captured him and took control of the palace gate. Naturally, the prince's face changed drastically after seeing this. Just as he was about to turn around to look for Gao Zhan, he found his uncle standing among the armored soldiers a few feet away, looking at him with a grin.

"The one who caused the rebellion is actually King Changguang. You and other soldiers should not be allowed to join the rebellion!"

Upon seeing this, the guards around the prince hurriedly drew out their sabers and guarded the prince among them. However, at this time, the imperial army had been replaced by Gao Zhan. When He Shikai and others saw this, they shouted loudly: "These thieves actually If you want to kidnap the prince and run away, kill him quickly and rescue him!"

After a fierce battle, dozens of close guards around Gao Yin were quickly slaughtered, and he was forced to the corner, staring at Gao Zhan who was leading his team to approach with a sneer and said in a trembling voice: "Ah. "Why did uncle want to harm me?"

"Prince, please rest assured that I will not harm you, but please do not provoke me and obey my orders. No one will kill you tonight!"

Gao Zhan raised his hand to signal his soldiers to come forward, and pulled the prince out who was still shivering. He quickly led his troops into the Wanshou Hall in the back garden of the inner palace, and then ordered his troops to enter the inner palace to search and capture the emperor. The concubines and children, and he himself led a group of troops straight to the queen's palace.

At this time, the inner palace was already in chaos due to the intrusion of soldiers. There were servants and maids running around in panic, and the inside and outside of the queen's palace were no exception. When Gao Zhan led his troops here, he saw the palace people escorting the queen and running out of the palace, preparing to flee elsewhere to avoid trouble.

The queen seemed to have been awakened from her sleep. Her hair was covered with black hair, her face was frightened and her face was bleak. She didn't even have time to tie her clothes and arrange them. As she ran, her jade-like skin flashed out. The white color is dazzling under the illumination of palace lanterns.

Gao Zhan had rarely seen the Queen in such a posture. When he saw the beautiful face that was not painted with makeup but was still charming, and the panicked posture that had lost all dignity and sympathy in the past, Gao Zhan was in a trance for a moment. He just felt It was fresh and full of temptation, and the entire new house was almost filled.

It wasn't until the people in the Queen's Palace discovered their group and screamed in surprise that Gao Zhan rushed forward to block the group's way. He looked directly at the Queen and said, "I have led my troops here. Queen and sister-in-law, please stay and sleep in peace." No need to go!”

The sudden appearance of Gao Zhan also startled the queen. She stamped her feet first, then looked at her brother-in-law and asked quickly: "Why is King Changguang in the inner palace? Do you know who is causing trouble?"
