After the scheming is dressed into an innocent beauty

The news of Emperor Longqing's death spread, and everyone in the harem put on mourning clothes to express their condolences.

Han Yucheng had already sent people to search the palace of Emperor Longqing several times, but he did not find any edict left by Emperor Longqing. At that time, Bai Jin Fushang was imprisoned in Xiyuan, waiting for him to come out. Naturally, it is impossible to find anything, so if there is no imperial edict to determine who should succeed, then according to the rules, civil and military officials should elect one person from Lie Wang and Bai Jinfu to inherit the throne.

Although Bai Jinfu controlled the harem with Jing Yu's help, outside the palace, he was surrounded by Han Yucheng and King Lie's troops.

King Lie learned a lesson from Duan Wuji's failure to force the palace last time. It was because Duan Wuji was thinking of his grandparents' relationship with Emperor Longqing, he was indecisive, and he couldn't make a ruthless hand for a long time, so he missed the opportunity and finally failed. He and Bai Jinfu had no past friendship, so he advocated cutting the mess quickly, and before the news of the emperor's death spread to the capital, he should act first to get rid of Bai Jinfu, and all officials could only support him to ascend the throne .

King Lie wanted a quick battle and kept urging Han Yucheng to send troops to directly attack the inner palace, but even if Han Yucheng ignored others, he always cared about the life of his own sister, Concubine Han Gui. On the grounds that it is not appropriate to act rashly on the white brocade armrest, they advocated sending people in first to have peace talks with King Xi.

Seeing that the throne was about to come at hand, Han Yucheng refused to go in directly. King Lie blushed so anxiously that he almost scolded his mother. In the end, Han Yucheng made a decision. If King Xi refused to surrender before midnight, he would send troops to attack. In the inner palace, King Lie's face softened after hearing what he said.

But King Lie didn't know that Han Yucheng didn't really want to help him at all. The reason why he cooperated with him now was just to use the name of King Lie to make himself famous. From the eyes of outsiders, Wei Gong cannot be justified. His real purpose is to force Bai Jinfu to bow his head to him.

Even if Bai Jinfu controls the harem now, but outside the palace are all his people, can the turtle in the urn still escape?

But the person Han Yucheng sent to negotiate peace with Bai Jinfu hadn't come back yet, and suddenly got news that a large number of imperial soldiers suddenly appeared less than [-] miles away from the Xinggong Palace, and they would reach the foot of Xinggong Mountain in less than an hour.

Han Yucheng was furious when he heard the words, and angrily scolded a group of trash under his command. He had already ordered them to strictly patrol, but the enemy only found out that they came to report when they were almost at the door of the house, which ruined his plan.

But the subordinate said that because it was already dark outside, the spies' vision would inevitably be affected, and these people had no trace at all before, as if they had appeared out of thin air, as if they had fallen from the sky, which was really weird.

After Han Yucheng listened, he was silent for a long time. The soldiers were so elusive, he must not be an ordinary general. Who is the person leading the troops?

Although the purpose of this group of people who came out of nowhere is unclear for the time being, they are neither friends nor enemies. Han Yucheng knew that the matter could not be delayed any longer, so he ordered to wait for midnight to arrive. Gather people and horses to attack the inner palace.

Bai Jinfu had already ordered the palace gates to be closed, gathered all the concubines into Emperor Longqing's bedroom, and ordered people to block the palace gates to block the offensive from outside, but in the inner palace, except for a small number of guards and eunuchs, the others were unarmed. The concubines and palace maids, who were as strong as chickens, had already been frightened by the deafening shouts and killings outside, and their legs and feet were weak, supporting each other and crying.

With just these people, how could they resist the fierce attack from outside, and soon the palace gate fell, and Han Yucheng's men rushed into Qianming Palace, killing all the guards and eunuchs who resisted outside, because Concubine Han Gui was still in the palace, so they cleaned up After finishing the people outside, the sergeants did not rush into the hall rashly, and sent someone to invite Han Yucheng and King Lie over.

"Listen up, people inside! King Xi is holding the imperial concubine and the emperor's body hostage, intending to usurp the throne, if you don't want to die, open the door and surrender, and anyone who resists will be killed!"

Outside the closed gate of Qianming Palace, Han Yucheng's men and horses completely occupied all parts of the palace. The flames were blazing and the knives were shining. Han Yucheng ordered people to shout loudly into the palace, but there was no response. To be shouted a second time, the heavy palace door was suddenly slowly opened from the inside.

Bai Jinfu came out from the inside, dressed from head to toe, standing in the middle of the gate with a calm expression, confronting the thousands of troops outside alone, his eyes were stern and without warmth, sweeping Han Yucheng and King Lie's faces. However, he said coldly: "After the late emperor passed away, you started a big fight and surrounded the palace with soldiers. Do you want to rebel?"

King Lie stepped forward and pointed at Bai Jin and said, "You can still call a thief! You lied about your concubine's pregnancy in order to please your father. After being exposed by this king, your father ordered you to be confined. , but now you are taking advantage of the death of your father, going out of Xiyuan privately against the holy will, and cooperating with Marquis Ning An to kidnap the concubines in the harem, isn't it you who want to rebel? Come on! Take down King Xi's party and capture King Xi alive , this king will give you a lot of rewards!"

"Who dares!" Bai Jinfu shouted loudly, "Fifth brother, the emperor did order me to be imprisoned before, but how do you know that my decree was not issued by order?"

Lie Wang seemed to feel it was ridiculous, he raised his head and laughed loudly: "Father is already dead, what order do you give? Could it be that father told you in a dream?"

Bai Jin Fu's face was sneering and cold, staring at King Lie every word and said: "Yi, Zhao."

King Lie vetoed it with a wave of his hand without hesitation: "Impossible! You are lying, father did not leave a will at all!"

"Who said there is no!" Jing Yu came out from behind Bai Jinfu, holding a bright yellow imperial edict in both hands, and said loudly, "Here is the edict of the first emperor, everyone kneel down to accept the edict!"

The people outside are all Han Yucheng's people, so naturally they won't listen to Jing Yu's words and kneel down. Han Yucheng has searched several times before and found no will. Di said to Jing Yu, "Mr. Ning'an, according to Daliu's law, you should think about what crime you will be charged with falsely preaching the imperial decree."

Jing Yu said calmly, "The edict of the late emperor was handed down to King Xi. The imperial edict was written by the late emperor himself, with the imperial seal of the late emperor on it. If Han Xiangruo does not believe it, you can ask other ministers to identify it together to see if it is the late emperor's handwriting."

"Fake! It must be fake! You people dare to forge the imperial decree!" In fact, King Lie was dubious about the authenticity of the edict, but if the edict was true, it made him feel even more angry. The throne was passed on to a Bai Jinfu who had been separated for 20 years and had a weak relationship with his father and son. He was unwilling to pass it on to himself. What was his son in Emperor Longqing's heart?So he commanded humanity angrily, "Come on! Take down all these rebels, shoot them to death!"

The people brought by Lie Wang listened to the order and were about to rush forward to do something, but suddenly heard Han Yucheng shout: "Stop!"

King Lie's men stopped and looked back at Han Yucheng and then at King Lie, not knowing who to listen to.

"Han Yucheng, what do you want to do?" Lie Wang walked up to Han Yucheng with a blushing neck, pointed at Han Yucheng and said angrily, "You are still hesitating at this time, how can you make a big deal! This king knows that the imperial concubine is still inside , but since ancient times, there is no bloodshed in seizing the throne, as long as you help this king ascend the throne, this king will guarantee that the descendants of the Han family will have inexhaustible wealth and glory!"

"Han Yucheng, the former emperor has passed the throne to me, and I am now the new king of Daliu, how dare you touch me?" Bai Jin stood on the steps with his hands on his sleeves, looked at Han Yucheng from afar, and asked in a deep and slow voice, " Do you want to be a rebellious official and traitor, and be infamous in the history books for thousands of years?"

Standing side by side with Bai Jinfu, Jing Yu also said to Han Yucheng, "Han Yucheng, if you persist in your obsession, you will only lead yourself into a doom."

Han Yucheng watched the two sing together, gritted his teeth secretly, with mixed feelings in his heart, he couldn't tell whether he was more angry or jealous. He hated why Bai Jinfu chose Jing Yu instead of him, but he was also jealous Jing Yu can advance and retreat with Bai Jinfu, live and die together.

Why isn't he the one standing next to Bai Jinfu at this moment?

If it weren't for his help along the way, how could Bai Jinfu be where he is today?How is he worse than Jing Yu? !

Seeing that Han Yucheng was slow to make a decision, King Lie couldn't hold back the urgency to put Bai Jin to death, so he quietly signaled his cronies with his eyes, and the cronies received the eyes, understood, and quietly retreated with a bow and arrow. Stepping aside, while everyone didn't notice him, he immediately drew the bow and set the arrow and aimed the arrow at Bai Jinfu's chest. As soon as the tight bowstring was loosened, the sharp arrow pierced through the air and shot towards Bai Jinfu. Help Fei shoot away!

Jing Yu first noticed the cold arrow shot from the dark place beside him, his heart trembled suddenly, he grabbed Bai Jinfu's arm and pulled him behind him, just about to use his body as a meat shield to shield Bai Jinfu from the arrow , Suddenly another feathered arrow shot from another direction, in mid-air where the cold arrow was only an arm's length away from Bai Jinfu, it precisely shot on the arrow of the cold arrow, and the cold arrow fell to the ground!

Everyone was dumbfounded by the thrilling scene in front of them. When Han Yucheng saw that the arrow was about to hit Bai Jinfu, his heart almost stopped suddenly. After confirming that Bai Jinfu was safe, his heartbeat resumed, and he turned around and found Who was the one who released the arrow? Without a word, he drew out his sword and killed that lieutenant's confidant with his own hands.

King Lie didn't expect that Han Yucheng would kill his own people, and he said angrily, "Han Yucheng, what are you doing?!"

Han Yucheng ignored him, and turned his head to look in the direction of the arrow that saved Bai Jinfu just now. There was an eaves over there, covered by the night, and it looked empty, but he had a hunch that there must be someone ambushing there. So he ordered his subordinates: "There are people on the roof, force them down!"

"You don't need to send someone to invite me, I will come down by myself!"

Hearing his voice before seeing him, a tall and strong figure came out from behind the eaves, and with a swift sweep, he landed steadily on the ground from the high roof like a hawk. He was wearing Wearing a black outfit, wearing cowhide boots, carrying a bow and arrow on his back, and holding a sword in his hand, he looks like a knight walking alone in the dark night.

The man landed on the ground, walked briskly to Bai Jinfu, knelt down on one knee to salute, his handsome face was as vigorous as before, and his smile was as bright as before, "Your Majesty, the rescue came in time, right?"

Bai Jin hurriedly walked over to help the man up with his own hands, patted the man on the shoulder familiarly, and said with a smile: "Timely and timely, you are really my timely rain!"

King Lie took a closer look and recognized who the man was from the profile. He couldn't help but turn pale with shock, "Jiang Shuheng? Aren't you dead?!"

"You all wish for me to die, but my life, Jiang Shuheng, is not so easy to take." Jiang Shuheng turned around and looked at Han Yucheng sarcastically, "I have received a secret letter from King Xi, reminding me I might have someone trying to harm me, let me take precautions early, so I pretended to be chasing people from Beiliang and fell into an ambush, and went back to the capital with a feigned death, just to see who would show the fox tail, Han Yucheng, I can't play tricks with you , But you are not tired of deception, this time you have fallen into my hands. At this moment, there are my troops outside the palace. As long as I give a signal, they can attack at any time. If you surrender now, maybe your majesty can let you live! "

Han Yucheng listened to Jiang Shuheng's ins and outs, but his eyes were fixed on Bai Jinfu, "It turns out that you have been plotting against me a long time ago. Have you ever trusted me?"

"No, trust is given to someone, but you are not worthy." Bai Jinfu looked back at Han Yucheng indifferently, half of his face was illuminated by the firelight, he was neither happy nor angry, "Surrender, now you are the one who has nothing to lose." select."
