After the scheming is dressed into an innocent beauty

The sound of horseshoes making a "da da da" push forward, Duan Wuji was desperate to fight, and ordered people to close the palace gate to guard the last line of defense, but there was a loud "boom", it was someone outside attacking the door with a ramming car, The palace gate has already begun to loosen, and it won't be long before the palace gate will be knocked open from the outside.

"Listen up, people inside! I am General Chang Lin, the commander of the Longwu Army. I have been ordered to suppress the rebellion. You are already surrounded. Don't make unnecessary struggles. Put down your weapons immediately, open the palace gate, and surrender without killing!"

The rebels on the other side of the palace gate knew that they had become the shackles in the urn, they all looked at Duan Wuji helplessly, waiting for him to make up his mind.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?"

Qi and blood in Duan Wuji's chest surged, and a fishy sweetness escaped from his throat, just a little bit, just a little bit!

He shouldn't be soft-hearted, and shouldn't still be thinking about the love between grandparents and grandchildren. If he was more ruthless, he would have succeeded by now, he hates it!He hates it!

At this point, there is no way to retreat, only to move forward.

Duan Wuji raised the sword in his hand, slowly pointed in the direction of the inner palace, raised his breath and said, "Follow me, rush in!"

Seeing that he was still obsessed, the crown prince on the city tower shouted anxiously: "Wuji! Don't make the same mistake again and again! Looking back now, your grandpa may be able to forgive you and let you live!"

Duan Wuji was already red-eyed, he ignored his father's advice, and insisted on leading people to break through the last line of defense in the Forbidden Palace.

Seeing this, the prince pushed away the dead man who was holding him hostage, and suddenly moved nimbly up to the railing of the tower, and sat astride it, startling Bai Jinfu, and rushed up to try to drag him down.

"Don't come here!" The crown prince shouted Bai Jinfu away, then turned his head and shouted towards the downstairs, "Wuji! If you take one step forward, I'll jump off the top! If you don't even want to recognize your father , then don't look back!"

Duan Wuji stopped when he heard the words, and looked back, angry and anxious, "Father! Why are you doing this? Are you trying to force me to die?"

The prince's obese body was crumbling on the tower, and he burst into tears and said, "Son, stop! Every mistake is the father's fault. I shouldn't force you to do such a rebellious act. Now that the general situation is gone, we have already It's the end of the road, you surrender, and come with me to confess your mistakes to your grandpa, maybe there is still a glimmer of life! If you still refuse to give up, then you can collect the body for your father first! I can't just watch you doomed!"

The prince's words are tantamount to taking everything on himself. He wants to take the blame for Duan Wuji and give Duan Wuji a chance to survive. The beloved son of his parents has a far-reaching plan for it. You Rou, but the love of a father for his children is no less than that of any parent in the world.

Duan Wuji also understands the good intentions of the prince, and his heart is full of grief. The unwillingness condensed in his chest is lost from his body little by little, leaving only a heart full of anxiety. Maybe this is fate. All lose.

At this moment, the palace gate was smashed by external force, and the Longwu army rushed in from the outside, quickly surrounded the rebels inside, General Chang Lin and Han Yucheng rode in afterward, and ordered: "All Take it down for me! If anyone resists, shoot them to death!"

The rebels saw that the defeat had been decided, they put down their weapons and crouched down one after another, only Duan Wuji still held his sword in his hand, standing on the spot with his head held high, refusing to surrender.

Han Yucheng got off his horse and walked forward to persuade him to surrender, "His Royal Highness Changsun, you have nowhere to go, why bother to struggle anymore, surrender."

Duan Wuji was betrayed by Duan Heng and Han Yucheng one after another. He was so angry that he glared at Han Yucheng and said coldly, "I never thought that I would be defeated by my own people in the end. Han Yucheng, you An insidious villain who sees the wind and turns the rudder, you think you can get rid of me by doing this?"

Han Yucheng said leisurely and unhurriedly: "Your Highness, why did you say that? I don't know anything about your mutiny and siege of the palace today. It's already reached this time. Why do you still want to slander me? Aren't you afraid of aggravating your sins?"

Duan Wuji couldn't understand Han Yucheng's subtext. If he kept his mouth shut and didn't pull Han Yucheng into the water, Han Yucheng would naturally help him cover up some previous criminal evidence. Otherwise, if he revealed everything, he would be able to shake Han Yucheng status, but it will also add to his own guilt.

Duan Wuji cast a disdainful glance at Han Yucheng, and sneered, "It's really a tiger falling into Pingyang and being bullied by a dog. You are proud now, and I will wait in the underworld to see if you will have a day when you will climb high and fall seriously!"

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the city tower. Suddenly, taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, he raised the sword in his hand and put it across his neck with his backhand. He closed his eyes and was about to kill himself, when suddenly a flying arrow struck like a silver lightning bolt. The piercing black night sky shot towards Duan Wuji from the top of the city tower, and it just hit Duan Wuji's arm. Duan Wuji was hit by the arrow suddenly, and the sword in his hand fell because of the pain. The people around were afraid of him Looking for short-sightedness again, hurriedly swarmed up to subdue him.

Bai Jinfu had expected that Duan Wuji might commit suicide a long time ago, and ordered the dead to watch his every move, and thus successfully prevented Duan Wuji from committing suicide. When the prince saw Duan Wuji wiping his neck with a sword, his heart almost jumped out of his throat in shock. , Bai Jinfu took advantage of his focus on Duan Wuji, and hurriedly asked someone to drag him off the railing.

Everything tonight has been settled, and Bai Jinfu can finally breathe a sigh of relief temporarily. Looking up, the sky is still as black as thick ink, and there is no sign of dawn approaching at all.

Bai Jinfu couldn't help feeling sorry for him. When will this open and secret struggle for the throne end?

-

All the rebels in the palace had surrendered, and the hostages captured in the palace were also sent out of the palace to go back to the various mansions. Overnight, there was a mutiny, and as many as a hundred people were killed, including the soldiers who died in battle and innocent civilians who were implicated. There are countless eunuchs and court ladies. The sun rises as usual, but the bustling and bustling Kyoto in the past is still in panic and has not yet returned to calm.

That night, King Lie died two sons one after another. Although he was lucky enough to be rescued, he seemed to have aged ten years overnight. He did not follow the others out of the palace, but knelt down outside Emperor Longqing's palace. With tears in his eyes, he demanded that Emperor Longqing severely punish the prince and Duan Wuji and his son, and give his two dead sons an explanation.

The crown prince and Duan Wuji were brought in front of Emperor Longqing, and knelt in the hall, waiting for Emperor Longqing to punish him.

Emperor Longqing was supported by the king's internal officials to walk out of the apse, and it only took one night. The old emperor's gray hair seemed to have added a few strands of silver, his eye sockets were deeply sunken, and his face was haggard and sallow. Oldness and fatigue are evident.

Father and son turned against each other, fratricide, no matter how strong the heart is, after experiencing these blows overnight, it is impossible for the heart to be without waves.

Seeing Emperor Longqing coming out, the crown prince immediately kowtowed and wept bitterly: "Royal father, everything is my fault. It was my son who forced Wuji to do this. It is my son who is greedy for profit, obsessed with ghosts, and committed such a big treason. I have no complaints about how the father and emperor will punish the children, but please spare Wuji's life!"

Duan Wuji did not kowtow to admit his mistake, but pouted his neck and said: "No! This is all done by me alone, and has nothing to do with my father. I was unwilling to go to Baiyue as a hostage, so I led the army to force the palace. Without knowing it, one person does things and one person should be responsible, please look into it clearly, Your Majesty!"

The prince straightened up in anger, glared at Duan Wuji and said, "Shut up! If it wasn't for my order, how could you get the soldier talisman for dispatching soldiers! What kind of hero are you trying to do to me at this time!"

Emperor Longqing slapped the table hard, and angrily said: "Shut up! You father and son have committed heinous crimes, which one do you think can get rid of the relationship? Nizi! Nizi! I have raised and loved you for nothing!"

"Father, calm down! It's all because of the incompetence of the son and the incompetence of the son!" The prince cried loudly, "The son knows that the guilt is inevitable, and he dare not ask the father for forgiveness. The son is willing to bear all the crimes. For the sake of the deceased mother, the emperor should spare Wuji's life, my son has only this little flesh and blood, if Wuji has something good or bad, there is no way for the minister to explain to the queen!"

Empress Huiyuan had a deep relationship with Emperor Longqing and his wife during his lifetime, so even though Emperor Longqing didn't like the mediocre prince, he didn't abolish him these years, but pinned his hopes on Duan Wuji. The prince was not confused at this critical moment , Moved Queen Huiyuan out to play the emotional card.

After all, he was watching the children who grew up in front of him. Even if he committed a heinous crime, Emperor Longqing couldn't bear to take Duan Wuji's life. After what happened last night, so many descendants of the Duan family had already died. I can't afford to experience the pain of bereavement.

Emperor Longqing closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair, and waved his hand wearily, "Take everyone down, and deal with them after the trial by the third judge."

Wang Neiguan reminded: "Your Majesty, King Lie is still kneeling outside the palace."

Emperor Longqing thought of the heads of King Lie's two sons he saw last night, he couldn't bear it, and with tears in his eyes, he sighed and said: "Let him go back first, and you go out of the palace yourself, and comfort the people of King Lie's house for me."

Both the crown prince and Duan Wuji were escorted out, leaving only Bai Jinfu, Han Yucheng, Duan Heng, General Chang Lin and others in the hall.

Emperor Longqing looked at Bai Jinfu, and said in a hoarse voice: "Ting Qi, you worked hard last night. I heard about what happened on the tower last night. Fortunately, you were there, otherwise things would be out of control. However, "Emperor Longqing paused, and asked with some doubts, "Didn't I give you the tiger talisman to let you dispatch troops, why did you hold the prince hostage again?"

Bai Jinfu knew that Emperor Longqing would definitely ask this question, so he had already thought up a set of arguments, and replied calmly: "Return to father, my son came out of the palace through the secret road with the tiger talisman, and originally wanted to go out of the city to dispatch troops. Yes, but I met Marquis Ning An on the way, and my son was not familiar with the way to the Longwu Army barracks. I was afraid that the road would delay my time. I thought that Marquis Ning An was always upright and had nothing to do with the East Palace, so he should be trustworthy. I handed over the Tiger Talisman to the Marquis of Ning An without permission and asked him to help dispatch troops. Afterwards, my son was worried about his father's safety, so he returned to the palace. The son felt that the prince was usually kind-hearted, and he was always respectful and filial to his father, so he set up troops to surround him. Gong should be just a mistake in his mind, so he wanted to go to the East Palace to persuade his elder brother to turn back, but in the East Palace, he met King Shen, who repented under the persuasion of his son-in-law, and together with his son-in-law tricked the prince out of the East Palace, took him to the tower to force him Duan Wuji was arrested without a fight, and the royal father must have known about what happened afterwards, and he asked the royal father to forgive the crime of disobeying the emperor's orders and making claims."

After finishing speaking, Bai Jinfu knelt down to plead guilty, and Duan Heng also knelt down, "Your Majesty, my grandson is not filial. I have been coercing my grandson by Duan Wuji all this time, so I have to follow his example. I know that I have made a big mistake, and I have to pay you back." Please forgive me, the emperor!"

Emperor Longqing waved his hand, "Forget it, you've made up for it, get up."

Duan Heng said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"You get up too." Emperor Longqing looked at Bai Jinfu again, with a little approval in his tone, "Doing extraordinary things at an extraordinary time, if you didn't stay calm in the face of danger, you would think of going to the East Palace to kidnap the crown prince first by taking the bottom line out of the crucible. Wu Jun rescued the car and delayed the time, I am afraid that this palace change will not be the result now, well done."

Bai Jinfu said modestly: "Father, the emperor praised you absurdly. The sons and daughters are just clever. General Chang Lin, Minister Han and Marquis Ning'an, who are loyal to you, deserve the most credit."

Emperor Longqing glanced over the crowd, and suddenly said: "By the way, why don't you see Marquis Ning'an?"

In fact, Bai Jinfu also felt strange for a long time, but it was difficult to ask because there were so many people, so why didn't he see Jing Yu's figure all the time?

"Return to the emperor," Han Yucheng stepped forward to salute, and replied unhurriedly, "Last night when the rebels were in chaos in Beijing, when Marquis Ning'an led his troops to put down the rebellion, he accidentally shot a cold arrow and wounded his chest. The imperial physician is now He is being treated at the Hou Mansion."

Bai Jinfu's heart trembled violently, he stepped forward and grabbed Han Yucheng's arm, and asked loudly uncontrollably: "What did you say?!"

Han Yucheng looked down at Bai Jinfu, moved the corners of his mouth with a half-smile, brushed Bai Jinfu's hand away without a trace, and said leisurely: "His Royal Highness, don't worry, Houji of Ning'an has his own aura, so he shouldn't Something will happen."

Emperor Longqing didn't realize that Bai Jinfu's nervousness towards Jing Yu was different from ordinary people. After hearing that Jing Yu had been hit by an arrow, he ordered other officials, "Send someone to Ning'an Hou's mansion to ask how the situation is. Marquis of Ning'an, heal me!"

Bai Jinfu stared at Han Yucheng's profile. Although Han Yucheng's expression looked calm and impeccable, he had a premonition that Han Yucheng was gloating. Maybe Jing Yu's arrow shot this time was a conspiracy. Han Yucheng wanted to take advantage of the chaos to get rid of Jing Yu, his opponent!
