Abduct a general to farm
Chapter 80
Without the Third Prince and Concubine Chen being demons, the court was much more stable. Those ministers who were originally drawn by Concubine Chen to support the Third Prince as the crown prince shrank like quails. over their heads.
Fortunately, the emperor found out that only the third prince and concubine Chen had hooked up with the barbarians, and those ministers were not involved, so the emperor let them go.
The emperor was wearing a dragon robe and a thick fox white fur coat, standing at the door of the bedroom, and asked, "How is it in the dungeon?"
Honest and fair: "According to the report from the imperial guards, the Three Emperors...they are the same as usual."
The emperor hummed, and ordered: "Let people pay attention, and send another team of imperial guards to guard."
Tomorrow the Third Prince and Concubine Chen will be beheaded. If the Third Prince and Concubine Chen have any remaining subordinates, tonight is the best time to rob the prison. Just in case, they have to be careful.Eunuch Cheng also understood this reasoning, he said yes, and went to the leader of the imperial guards to explain.
The wind was whistling, and the temperature in the capital had dropped even lower in the winter. The emperor looked at the sky for a while, then turned and went in and closed the door.
Maybe after a while, the snow will start to fall in the capital.
In Youshi, just after dinner, the winter night came early, and it was already dark at this time, and all the lanterns in the house were lit.
Ajiu didn’t accompany Mo Ran during the day, so he ran to Shu’s mansion to find Shu Jiutian to listen to the opera. After listening to the opera for a whole day, he only felt very sleepy at this time. After eating, he returned to the room and started to sleep. As soon as the door opened, he threw himself on the bed and fell asleep with his eyes closed.
Jiang Jing looked at it for a long time and couldn't help laughing, but he didn't wake him up. He just asked someone to bring hot water. He helped Mo Ran wipe his body and face, and then changed his clothes. Mo Ran knew how to cooperate with him even though he was half asleep.
Although a little distracted, Jiang Jingjiu quickly put clothes on the naked Mo Ran, stuffed them into the warm quilt, took a bath by himself, and came back, lying warmly next to Mo Ran and fell asleep.
The city was under curfew during the Xu period. Once the patrolling officers and soldiers reminded the vendors in the downtown area, they quickly packed up their things and went home. The shops along the street also closed their doors and turned off the lights. After a while, the streets became empty, except for the patrolling officers and soldiers passing by from time to time. , no one else.
The lanterns lit inside and outside the palace were as bright as daylight, allowing thieves to have nowhere to hide. At this time, on the outer wall of the palace, countless imperial guards walked and patrolled seriously to protect the safety of the emperor.
Haishi is the most drowsy time. People in the capital and the palace are already asleep, and the whole city is silent. Even the guards on patrol can't help feeling a little tired and relaxed at this time, just waiting for the time to change. The next round of colleagues come to shift.
The leading Imperial Guard yelled as usual: "Come on, don't let your guard down."
The thick voice really lifted people's spirits, and they looked straight ahead like a torch for an instant.
After passing the gate of the palace, a group of Imperial Guards who were also patrolling passed by. The leader of the Imperial Guards took two steps and felt that something was wrong, and immediately led people back to stop the group of people. Unexpectedly, they were about to enter the palace.
"Who are you? What do you want to do!"
The man shouted loudly, the people in front kept walking, and when the guards guarding the palace gate didn't react for a moment, they pushed open the door.
At this time, everyone realized that something was wrong with them, and immediately shouted that there was an assassin, and then a large group of imperial guards appeared inside and outside the palace to catch the assassin.
Obviously, there were only about ten assassins at the beginning, but in a blink of an eye, many assassins appeared out of nowhere, and some even wore the same clothes as the imperial guards.
That was obviously also a member of the Imperial Guard, and the leader of the Imperial Guard also saw some familiar faces.
His heart sank, it wasn't that there was an assassin, but——
"There are rebels! Everyone be careful!"
The battle broke out suddenly, and the enemy and friends did not know. The patrolling people looked at a group of guards wearing the same clothes as themselves, and had no idea who was the enemy and who was the friend, so they were naturally suppressed by the rebels.
The palace was also in chaos. When the rebels broke in with swords, the maids and concubines who were woken up ran around screaming, and the guards around the emperor immediately came out to fight with the rebels.
Eunuch Cheng ran into the emperor's bedroom in a panic, and seeing that the emperor was also woken up, he frowned and asked displeasedly, "What's going on outside?"
Eunuch Cheng said with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, something is wrong, a group of people broke in from outside, they, they..."
Putting on his shoes, the emperor said, "What's wrong with them, where are my secret guards and imperial guards?"
Eunuch Cheng closed his eyes and said, "The people who killed our bodyguards are the imperial guards. They have rebelled! They are the rebels!"
While they were talking, the noise outside was getting closer and closer, accompanied by a lot of chaotic footsteps, and there was a faint voice of "the emperor is inside".
A few hidden guards broke into the door, not caring about being rude, and said anxiously: "The emperor quickly ran with us, the third prince and Concubine Chen Guifei escaped from prison and forced the palace, they are coming soon, our people can't stop them."
However, the rebels seemed to be prepared, and as soon as the dark guard finished speaking, a group of people rushed in, and now the emperor and the others couldn't escape even if they wanted to.
Everything happened too fast, the people who beat them were caught off guard, the ones who rebelled were the imperial guards, the people who guarded the emperor, the people who really protected the emperor were not even as many as the rebels, and no one had time to inform Jiang Jingjiu and others. It was controlled, but no one from the rebels touched the emperor.
Eunuch Cheng, who was being clamped, struggled and screamed angrily: "Bold, you gang of thieves dare to disrespect the emperor. This is rebellion! You really ate the guts of a leopard! Be careful not to implicate the nine clans!"
The rebels turned a deaf ear and didn't listen to his scolding. They lowered their heads and moved away from the door. A man and a woman walked in. They had already changed into clean clothes and looked at the people under restraint with indifference. .
Concubine Chen Guifei slowly walked in front of the emperor, she took off that layer of tender and submissive skin, revealing her mean inside, no longer the appearance the emperor knew before, and sneered at the emperor: "Zhao Wei, you can't think of it."
"Unexpectedly, one day our status can be changed, and you have finally been reduced from a high position to a prisoner."
"Tell me, if I kill you now, will you be afraid?" Concubine Chen Guifei drew the sword of a guard and pointed it at the emperor's chest. To the clothes on the emperor's chest, and then pierced the fragile flesh.
Before the emperor could respond, Zhao Hua, the third prince beside her, stepped forward and tugged at Concubine Chen's sleeve, reminding: "Mother, concubine, don't kill him yet, we still have use for keeping him, we haven't let him write the imperial decree yet. "
The third prince who gave up because the emperor said he wanted to execute them didn't even bother to call his father, who would call a person who wanted to kill him to be his father.
I don't know if the third prince's persuasion has worked, Chen Guifei withdrew her hand and sneered:
"Hua'er is right. Concubine Mu is just trying to scare him first. That's all. Let's keep a few people here, and the rest will go outside to guard first, and ask the people outside to guard the palace gate, and assassinate Jiang Jingjiu." The person who is going to be faster."
Concubine Chen Guifei waved her hand, and at some point the traitorous imperial guards retreated like a tide, only a few people stood at the door like logs, and the emperor's bedroom was empty again.
The emperor looked calm on the surface, and even seemed to feel tired from standing, so he turned around and sat down on the chair and asked, "When did you guys plan this matter?"
He didn't ask how the two of them escaped. Looking at the people around them, he could tell that it was the Third Prince and Concubine Chen who cooperated with the rebellious imperial guards to escape.
The emperor just didn't expect that his own people would be drawn over by Concubine Chen without knowing it.
If Jiang Jingjiu hadn't found out their collaboration with the enemy before, most of the emperor's people would gradually turn to Concubine Chen in the near future.
Chen Guifei was wearing a gorgeous red dress, her hair was loose, maybe she was in a hurry to force the palace and didn't have time to take care of it.
The emperor was sitting, she was standing, and said condescendingly: "It's okay to tell you, we planned it before Jiang Jingjiu disappeared, but we didn't intend to force the palace, as long as the emperor can make Hua'er the crown prince, then None of this will happen, you are still the emperor, and I am still the noble concubine. Unfortunately..."
Perhaps when people from Yeluo Pavilion were accidentally involved, their plan went haywire, and Jiang Jingjiu gradually caught the handle, and was stabbed in the back by that bitch Lin Wan, sending them to jail .
Those few days in prison made them feel embarrassed, when did the third prince and Concubine Chen suffer such wrongs!I can't eat well, sleep well, and can't take a bath.
What's more, their reputation has been ruined, and it's all the fault of the emperor, prince and Jiang Jingjiu!
If Jiang Jingjiu was solved at the very beginning, if the prince was prevented from going to Xuzhou City for disaster relief at the very beginning, if the emperor could let them go...
But if there is no if, they make a wrong step, and in the end they can only force the palace and ask the emperor to write an imperial edict for them.
Anyway, they have nowhere to go. If they don't escape from prison tonight, won't they still be killed by the emperor tomorrow?
"I said, you will regret it. Zhao Wei, the current situation is all caused by you."
"I won't talk to you too much, just obediently write us an imperial decree to abolish the original prince, let Hua'er become the prince, and designate him to ascend the throne in the future. Write it now, otherwise I can't guarantee my what people will do to you."
Concubine Chen Guifei threatened that whether other ministers would object was out of her scope of consideration. As long as there was an imperial decree, Jiang Jingjiu and his people would be successfully killed tonight, and then the emperor would be placed under house arrest. The emperor's power is in his hands, who else would dare to object?
Let Zhao Wei write the imperial decree tonight, and let Hua'er go to the hall tomorrow morning to announce that Zhao Wei is ill and cannot go to court, and Hua'er will temporarily take care of the affairs of the court.
At a certain time, when the emperor passed away due to illness, Hua'er would be able to become the emperor logically, and she would be one person below ten thousand people, wouldn't it be beautiful.
The rebels forcefully brought the emperor to the desk, unfolded the bright yellow cloth specially used for writing imperial decrees, stuffed the brush with ink into the emperor's hand, and stared at him covetously.
Seeing this, Cheng Gonggong shouted: "Your Majesty, you can't write to them, this country can't fall into the hands of thieves."
The third prince's eyes were fixed, he walked over and kicked him hard, the rebel who was holding him let go, and Eunuch Cheng fell to the ground with an ouch and screamed in pain.
"Shut up, you old bastard, we'll kill you after tonight."
After the third prince finished speaking, he asked someone to gag Eunuch Cheng's mouth with something so that he could not speak.
Concubine Chen Guifei saw that the emperor was still holding on to the brush, and said coolly, "Why don't you write? Could it be that you want to delay the time?"
She leaned in front of the emperor, raised her red lips and said: "I forgot to tell you, my people have already sneaked into Jiang Jingjiu's mansion to assassinate him, and he should have passed away in a deep sleep in the middle of the night. So you No matter how much you delay, no one will come to rescue you."
The one to deal with is Jiang Jingjiu. Concubine Chen Guifei dare not underestimate the enemy, and all the people she sent were the most powerful people under her command. Moreover, there were also people who cooperated with Yeluo Pavilion. Anyway, it was all for profit, and it was okay to cooperate together.
That group of people are best at using weird things, especially poisonous and controlling Gu worms. No matter how powerful Jiang Jingjiu and his people are, they can't resist them.
The only ones worthy of their fear were Jiang Jingjiu and the general of the Shu family, but the general of the Shu family was not in the capital, and Jiang Jingjiu was besieged by their people, so he would definitely not be able to come to the palace.
As for the others, it's not worth mentioning, and the people she recruited are not vegetarians either.
Zhao Wei didn't know if he believed her words, so he just said: "It's okay to ask me to write the imperial decree, but I have a question to ask, and I will write it after you answer it, otherwise, I won't do it even if you kill me." will write."
From the beginning to the end, when he saw Chen Guifei and the third prince, the emperor's attitude was always calm, without even a trace of anger, except for the initial panic, as if he had expected all of this.
Neither the third prince nor Chen Guifei, who thought they were about to get everything and were complacent, could see the strangeness of the emperor.
