Great General [Rebirth]

Outside the gate of the North Palace, Zhao Yongzhou took off his snow-white sable robe, tied his hair into a ponytail, put on the armor that King Chen had unloaded, tied his sword around his waist, stepped on the horse, and waved his big hand. Somewhat imposing.

After a long time, Liang Wandeng became a little impatient. He glanced at the calm General Zhao in front of him, and waved to call someone.

"Go and wait outside the gate of the West Palace, and report back as soon as there is news."

The man got the order and quietly left the array.

Feng Xun kept staring at the opposite side, and when he saw this, he asked a soldier to follow behind him.

"Hmph." Liang Wandeng smiled contemptuously at this.

In the darkness, the light in Zhao Yongzhou's eyes could not be dimmed.The two armies outside the palace confront each other, and the atmosphere inside the palace is also unpredictable.

The palace people all withdrew, and there was only one young eunuch serving in Xuanhe palace, who was also called out by Yan Jiu.

"Your Highness, please." Yan Jiu said to Rong You.

Rong You was a little hesitant, he looked at the palace with only dim yellow lights, and suddenly remembered the memories from a long time ago.

He had just been abolished as the crown prince. At that time, he was only 15 years old and lived alone in the cold palace. At that time, he was just like the palace in front of him, lifeless and lifeless.

Father... that man is also lying in it now.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty's time is running out." Yan Jiu reminded.

Rong You nodded and raised his foot to take the first step.As soon as the feet touched the floor, the cold touch rushed to the soles of the feet, all the way to the limbs, the heart, and the back of the head.

Once you have taken the first step, the rest will not be so difficult.

Rong Youli took a few breaths slowly at the same spot, and calmly walked through the long dark palace passage. He knew that there must be a bloody storm outside the palace at this moment, and Bai Fusheng might have already fought with someone, so even if the road in front of him could not see the end He did not walk through the palace corridor alone.

Not long after the two princes entered, three sedan chairs were carried in from the West Palace Gate one after another. The Prime Minister, the Eldest Princess, and Prince Zhao all went in one after another.

"These three have been invited. Could it be that His Majesty's will has changed?" Mr. Li, Secretary of the Central Committee, said in a deep voice.

Zhao Yongxiu didn't speak.

"Zhao Shangshu, shouldn't you go and have a look at this time." Seeing that Zhao Yongxiu didn't respond, Master Zhongshu Sheng reminded him in a yin and yang way.

Zhao Yongxiu: "Master Li just relax and wait. If you really can't wait, just go and see for yourself."

Rong Qi walked to the entrance of Xuanhe Palace, and saw that it was completely dark inside, just like a ghost palace.Immediately some do not want to go in.

Yan Jiu smiled and handed him a lantern.

Rong Qi took it impatiently, and strode in.

Yan Jiu stared at the swaggering figure, her expression gradually became a little strange.

There are no lamps in the palace, all the light comes from the faint glazed lamp beside the golden dragon bed.

The cold wind of winter night runs through the beginning and end, and the bright yellow curtains are blown to the east and west.

As if sensing his arrival, the person on the dragon bed opened his eyes, and a hand like withered bark stretched out from under the quilt, and held it in mid-air, trembling slightly.

Rong You walked over, gently held that hand, and knelt beside the bed.

Rong Hedi let out a heavy breath, and a voice came out of his throat: "You are here."

Without replying, Rong You just lowered his head.

"Where's your brother?" Rong Hedi asked casually.

Rong You said softly: "Brother is behind, he'll be here soon. Brother Eleven...seems to be crazy." After speaking, he held his breath, and after a while, he heard the sigh of the person on the dragon bed.

"It's my fault." Rong You said after a pause.Didn't you say that you are here to confess your sins?Anyway, it’s come to this point, so let’s be more straightforward.

"It was my deliberate design that made Eleventh Brother like that." Rong You said.

So Emperor Ronghe asked, "Why did you do that?"

Rong You: "Because I want to be the emperor."

Rong Hedi laughed: "It's a good answer."

The father and son talked one sentence at a time, and neither of them thought of Rong Qi who should appear immediately, or tacitly refused to mention it.

After a while, Rong Hedi suddenly said: "You wear too little."

Only then did Rong You feel a little cold on his body, and he didn't seem to have any expression in his dim eyes: "It's General Bai, he said that I should come to see my father in this way."

"Oh?" The smile in Rong Hedi's voice was obvious: "Is that child from the Bai family?" He thought it was Bai Xianjie.

"No. It's Bai Fusheng."

"It's him..." Emperor Rong He recalled slowly, Rong You thought he was going to say something next, but Emperor Rong He didn't seem to judge this person.

"You'er, you will have to work harder in the future. The emperor's position is not so easy to sit in." Ronghe Emperor said softly, and finally got to the point.He acted all his life and lied to everyone. Before he died, he finally showed it in front of his son.

Rong You's heart trembled, but his face remained calm: "I'm afraid my son won't have that chance. Now the suburbs of Beijing have gathered soldiers and horses from aristocratic families."

"Huh." Emperor Ronghe laughed, but there was some refreshing wantonness in his old voice, and after he finished laughing, he said, "I am ashamed to say this in my life. Kong is the emperor, and to put it bluntly, he is just a long-term worker of an aristocratic family." .Since you have come this far, they will not let you go. Are you afraid?"

Rongyou didn't speak.He was suddenly a little confused.

Then Rong Hedi patted his hand, "Don't be afraid. They should be afraid of you. You want to end all this."

There was a bit of resentment in Rong You's tone: "You lied to everyone."

"If you don't lie to others, how can you live well, and how can I give them a hard blow." Rong Hedi said with a smile.

Rong You: "You're not afraid of me...Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to survive and die?"

Emperor Ronghe: "If that's the case, I will just pretend that I don't have your son."

The tone is very relaxed.Rong You only felt stuffy and uncomfortable.He suddenly felt that in the eyes of Emperor Ronghe, maybe their sons were just pawns.Emperor Ronghe was playing a game of chess with the southern aristocratic family. He planned carefully, bluffed, and tried to cover up, but in the end it was just for victory.

A trace of sadness rose in his heart, but Rong You quickly suppressed it.Just as Bai Fusheng said, he is a man of destiny, and he must not be afraid of Xiaoxiao, let alone be hurt.

Emperor Ronghe asked his son: "Do you have any worries?"

"My son is afraid that what I do is not as good as my father wants. In the future, my father will blame my son." Rong You said.

Rong Hedi shook his head noncommittally.Then said: "Your eleventh brother is already crazy, they won't stare at him anymore, you can let him go."

Rong You: "Yes, my son will take good care of my eleventh brother."

Emperor Ronghe: "As for your elder brother, you don't have to worry. He won't appear in front of you again, I have already dealt with it for you."

Only then did Rong You feel a little moved.He remembered that Rong Qi came in after him, and he hadn't appeared for so long, could it be because of his father... Just when Rong You was shocked, Emperor Rong He suddenly closed his eyes.

"Father!" Rong You exclaimed.He suddenly became a little scared.What are you afraid of?Afraid that his father would leave him?No, he was just afraid that he was the only one in this huge Xuanhe Palace.

But Emperor Ronghe just tapped on the dragon bed lightly.

Then Rong You heard light footsteps coming from behind, and the palace lanterns were lit, illuminating the whole palace.

The heart that was raised at that moment just now fell slightly, Rong You breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head, and saw three old people walking in.

Rong You frowned puzzled: "Aunt, Uncle, Uncle?"

The three just saluted him.Rong You knelt on the ground, hurriedly lowered his head and went back.

At this moment, Yan Jiu stepped forward to help Emperor Ronghe sit up on the dragon bed, and Emperor Ronghe asked, "Brother Emperor, what's going on outside the palace?"

Prince Zhao said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. When the old minister entered the city, the troops from the aristocratic families on the outskirts of the city had already withdrawn."

Rong You was surprised again when he heard this.But Emperor Ronghe just nodded his head, as if he knew it a long time ago.

Yan Jiu waved her hand, and some palace servants came forward with the imperial table and banknotes. The ink pool was deeply smudged, and the rice paper was white and dazzling.

"Father, what are you going to do?"

Seeing Emperor Ronghe relying on Yan Jiu's support, holding the brush with a trembling hand like a dead tree, he fell stroke by stroke on the paper.

Although Emperor Ronghe's hand trembled, his handwriting was vigorous and powerful.

It is a new imperial decree.

Rong You thought it was nothing at first, but his eyes were moist.He frowned and said with a wry smile: "You don't have to do this, even if there is no will, your son can ascend the throne."

After finally finishing writing, Rong Hedi was out of breath and lost his brush.

"I can't... let you be a traitor..."

This was the last sentence Rong Hedi said.Then, there was no sound.

Rong You froze in place, tears finally fell from his dry eyes.

When Emperor Ronghe was ugly on the seventh night of the first month of the 26th year, a cry came from the Xuanhe Palace:

"The emperor's funeral is over!"

Immediately afterwards, the entire palace let out a sound of mourning.

The inside of the palace is over, but outside the palace, it has just begun.

Although the civil and military officials kneeling outside the Xuanhe Palace covered their faces and wept, they were more anxious.

Mr. Li, Zhongshu Sheng: "This old man has a bad premonition."

At this time, a young eunuch hurried out from the Xuanhe Palace, and everyone's eyes were fixed on him.

The little eunuch ran to Zhao Yongxiu and whispered a few words in his ear.

Master Zhongshu Sheng saw the expression on the face of Minister of the Ministry of War changed again and again, but unfortunately he couldn't hear clearly.

In the end, the little eunuch handed Zhao Yongxiu a note: "This is what Xiangye wanted, what do you think?"

Zhongshu Sheng snatched the note quickly, only to see the words "retire soldiers" written on it.

"What does this mean?!" Zhongshu Sheng called out anxiously.

Zhao Yongxiu took the note and stuffed it back into the little eunuch's hand: "Go to the gate of the west city and pass this thing out."

The little eunuch hurried to the west city gate.

Zhongshu Sheng grabbed Zhao Yongxiu: "Zhao Shangshu, what is the meaning of this?"

Zhao Yongxiu: "Before he died, the emperor changed the imperial decree and passed on the throne to King Chen."

Zhongshu Sheng: "What?! Even if the crown prince is crazy, he should be passed on to His Majesty. How can he be the Prince of Chen?... The Prime Minister also said to retreat? Are we just throwing in the towel?"

Zhao Yongxiu gave Master Zhongshu Sheng a cold look: "If you don't retreat, will my Zhao family be a traitor?"

"But if Prince Chen is still the emperor, wouldn't it be..." Zhongshu Sheng suddenly trembled, and he suddenly understood something.

"The old man understands...it's the emperor...this is what the emperor means..."

"Isn't that what the emperor meant? Does Lord Li think that in the whole world, except the emperor, who can control the whole situation." Zhao Yongxiu said indifferently, "Let's stay here and see the emperor off with peace of mind."

However, a strange light flashed in Zhongshu Sheng's eyes: "If Zhao Shangshu wants to feel at ease, it's probably too early."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Yongxiu looked at him.

"Hmph. This is not just about your Zhao family. It's not something you can just say." Zhongshu Sheng said with a smile.

Zhao Yongxiu: "You want to raise troops? It's useless. The armies of the aristocratic families on the outskirts of the city have already been dealt with by the Emperor's Shenwu Battalion."

Zhongshu Sheng: "Master Zhao, don't forget that there are still a few groups of people outside the North Palace Gate."

"But I already..." Zhao Yongxiu suddenly opened his eyes wide, "You guys bought Liang Wandeng?!"

Zhongshu Sheng sneered: "I'm afraid there is already a fight outside now."

Zhao Yongxiu suddenly stood up: "Didn't you harm my Zhao family!"

Seeing the figure running towards the North Palace Gate in a hurry, Zhongshu Sheng laughed loudly: "It's late! Master Zhao! Your Zhao family is bound to become a traitor!"
