Daiyu reads novels every day
Chapter 79
Yong Chen returned to his tent, and saw a young girl in green clothes sitting with her head down behind the side table.
The girl stood up in shock when she heard the curtain of the tent being lifted, her beautiful eyes showed fear and uneasiness; she calmed down a little after seeing the person coming, she lowered her head again, and asked An, "Your Majesty, Wanan." The voice was a bit hoarse .
It was only then that Yongchen recognized that the somewhat embarrassed girl in front of him was Daiyu who had grown up.He glanced at Daiyu's thin clothes and her embroidered shoes that were covered in wind and sand, and knew that there must be something wrong in Beijing.
"Stay outside, and no one is allowed to approach." Yong Chen ordered Lianxi, walked into the tent alone, picked up the copper pot after thinking about it, poured a cup of warm water to Daiyu, and said kindly: "Warm yourself first. Seeing Daiyu drink up the glass of water in a quick sip, she expected that she had suffered a lot along the way, so she asked with a slow smile, "You came here by yourself? Where's Master Lin?"
After entering a cup of water, Daiyu's voice was no longer hoarse, and revealed the sweetness in the bottom, and she said right away, "Daddy has been thrown into prison."
Yong Chen was surprised, but when he saw Daiyu panicked, he didn't show it on his face, and said gently: "Don't be afraid, I guess there is some misunderstanding. Since you came here, just think of me as an elder brother. I will play... ..."
"The king of Zhongjun is in trouble." Daiyu said softly, but it was shocking.She trembled herself.
Yong Chen paused, holding the copper pot without moving for a while.
"On March [-]rd, I went to the Buddhist temple to offer incense. Xiangyun went with me, but she insisted that I stay with her in the Buddhist temple for one night. That night, something bad happened. The sixteenth princes raised their troops. They had already arrested my father. There are many ministers and relatives, and it was Xiangyun who helped me escape at night..."
"How did Xiangyun know that Yongyi was going to raise troops?"
Daiyu was startled, and whispered: "Xiangyun is engaged to the young son of the Wei family who is the younger brother of Princess Zhongjun, presumably it is the young master of the Wei family..."
"To tell the truth, I can save your father." Yong Chen's tone sank, the defense between men and women in the court is so serious, how could the young son of the Wei family disclose such important things to his fiancée who has no previous relationship.
"Yes... It was Baoyu who sent the letter to Xiangyun. My maternal ancestor's family has also taken refuge in King Zhongjun, and wants to help King Zhongjun capture me and my father..." Daiyu burst into tears when she said this.
"How can Baoyu know?" Yong Chen stared at Daiyu, seeing the desolate look on Daiyu, who didn't seem to be fake, and suddenly thought, "Yes, he has a good relationship with Cheng Ye—how did Cheng Ye know Yongyi in advance? Raising troops? Could it be that Yongyi took over the old tribe of the fifth prince? However, the old tribe of Yongdan has long been uprooted by his father, so why does Yongyi plan to join forces with the old tribe of the fifth prince? Unless it is... a golden man who is not in the court!" Concubine De It is true that the department has close contacts with the Jin people.
Thinking of this, Yong Chen was shocked, turned around and went to the big tent.
Lianxi poked her head in from outside, and smiled at the helpless Daiyu: "Miss Lin, do you want to wash up and eat? There are no good maids here, but there are a few women from the village who can do it."
Daiyu smiled miserably, and said softly, "I'm sorry." It's a fluke that she survived, and she dared not ask for anything else.
In the big tent, Yong Chen had made it clear to Han Yue, clapped his hands together and said, "I will bring three thousand elites back to Beijing immediately! The rest will be handed over to the general!"
The whole afternoon, the two of them discussed in the tent the matter of dispatching troops, and it was not until dinner time that Yong Chen thought of Daiyu, because he asked Lianxi if it was settled.
"Go back to Your Highness, and put it in a small courtyard next to the barracks. It's a bit rougher than the capital, but it's already the best courtyard here, and there's a plum tree in the courtyard. Two hardworking and decent women were picked from the village. People are serving for the time being..."
Yong Chen nodded, but his mind was still on the matter of using soldiers. Hearing what Lianxi said, he turned his head to discuss with Han Yue again.
It wasn't until midnight that Yong Chen returned to his tent, but it was difficult to fall asleep, and he drank two glasses of strong wine alone.Thinking about the situation in Kyoto, I can't help worrying about the prince's brother.The rest of Yongyi had a reason not to kill; but it is absolutely impossible to let the prince brother go.If it wasn't for Daiyu's accidental escape, it would be a few days before the army received the news of being blocked by Yongyi - by then, it would be too late.
It was difficult to sleep on the left and right, so Yong Chen simply put on his clothes and got up, put on a big cloak and walked outside the barracks.
The sentinel on guard watched him, and it was now the second watch.
I happened to walk to the only small courtyard with plum blossoms nearby.
The courtyard door was unlocked, and Yong Chen opened it with a light push.
In the night sky, a few wisps of thin clouds supported a weak crescent moon.
Under the cold moonlight, with red plums on the branches of the old plums, the girl in the red cloak looked back in surprise, with tears in her eyes, which further accentuated the melancholy between her brows.
It is Daiyu who can't sleep peacefully and weeps alone under the moon.
Seeing her sad look through the flowers and trees, Yongchen suddenly felt his heart beating faster when he was drunk, and he had already walked under the plum tree in front of Daiyu before he knew it.
Daiyu held her breath, the crystals in her eyes suddenly dropped.
In silence, Yong Chen bent down slowly, stretched out his hand——
Daiyu dared not move.
The hand that draws the bow and shoots the arrow, wields the knife and the gun, slowly stretches out to the hibiscus flower embroidered shoes on the girl's feet, and gently brushes off the fallen plum petals.
The night wind brought a fragrance of plum blossoms.
Daiyu took two steps back, wrapped herself tightly in the cloak, stared at Yongchen in panic, her cheeks ached.
Yongchen woke up like a dream, froze in place, stood up straight after a pause, propped his forehead and apologized: "I'm drunk." He took a step back, looked at Daiyu and said gently: "I wanted to walk to relax. ... I was the one who was abrupt just now. Don't be afraid."
As soon as he spoke, the village woman who was dozing inside woke up and screamed, "Miss! Miss, where are you?"
In the quiet night, it sounds like sleep talking and ventriloquist.
Yongchen and Daiyu looked at each other, and there was a little smile in their eyes.
Daiyu bowed obediently, walked around the plum tree with a calm face, pushed the door open and entered.
Liu Yongchen was isolated under the tree, feeling a little moved in a sense of loss.Now that the night is quiet and many arrangements have been made, Yong Chen realized that when he met Daiyu at noon, he was too rude.She is just a girl of twelve or thirteen years old, not to mention the long journey from the capital to the northwest, and there may even be Yongyi's pursuers behind, how dangerous the journey must be; her father was arrested, her grandfather abandoned her, Daiyu should be so worried and afraid.The moment he lifted the curtain and entered, those beautiful eyes full of panic and fear remained in his mind.
It is because of the unknown.
Kyoto, the ninth day of the siege of the Forbidden Palace by King Zhongjun.
"Your Highness, the sentry found a battalion of cavalry coming from the northwest. They did not stop day and night, but they arrived in the capital in just three days. The leader of the troops was King Yong."
"Got it, what else is there?"
"Qianfengying captured a messenger, who seemed to be Concubine Shu, who came out to inquire about news. Do you see...?"
"Let him go back." Yong Yi signaled the others to step back, then stroked his palms, and said to the counselor Zou Tingyan who was sitting under the window: "This is a good show. Mr. is more resourceful, let the Lin family miss out in advance, and sure enough Xiao Shiqi wants to lead troops to guard the crown prince. I was worried at first, but when the big event is over, it will be a disaster if Xiao Shiqi stays in the northwest;
Zou Tingyan opened his gray and lifeless eyes, and said with a sneer, "Catch them all in one go? Only if the Jinren's [-] troops can actually reach them."
"Nothing will go wrong. Jin Zhuma leads the army and is stationed in the northern suburbs of the capital. When the people of Yongchen arrive, they can kill the prince first, and then destroy Yongchen." Yongyi glanced at the expressionless man, who could not see the expression of happiness or anger. Zou Tingyan said with a smile: "Before the incident, I was still a little uneasy. If it weren't for the reassurance of my husband, today's grand occasion would not have happened."
Zou Tingyan twitched the corner of his mouth, didn't respond to the compliment, instead sighed, and said: "Sieged for nine days, the scene in the Forbidden Palace must be ugly."
Forbidden Palace.
Concubine Shu heard the messenger's report, the blood on her face faded, and she asked coldly, "Where is the prince now?"
The aunt at the side replied: "The situation is critical. His Highness the Crown Prince has not returned to Yuqing Palace for several days. I heard that he climbed the inner wall and ate and slept with Habayashi Wei."
Concubine Shu sneered: "He is used to acting." Standing up, she held the aunt's hand and said, "Yong Ye will entrust it to you."
People in the palace are in panic, food is getting shorter, and filth is piling up.
Concubine Shu didn't even call for a chariot, she went up the inner wall alone on foot, summoned a small boss and asked where the prince was, went up to the viewing platform, and bumped into the prince Yongzhan who came with all the chief guards.
The two met on a narrow road.
Prince Yongzhan didn't say a word, everyone only heard a "pa", and Concubine Shu slapped the prince on the face.
The guards were shocked and drew their swords one after another, the sound of the swords was loud.
Prince Yongzhan was beaten to the side, but he signaled the people behind him not to move rashly. He lightly wiped the corner of his lips with his thumb, glanced at the red marks on it, and did not speak for a while.
"Where is the emperor? What have you done to the emperor?" Concubine Shu approached, and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Did you hide it? Killed it? Or buried it? Because he knew your little secret Change the establishment of a new king, right?"
The crown prince Yongzhan said calmly: "You should ask the traitor Yongyi about the whereabouts of the emperor father. Ordinary people like you don't know about it. This slap..."
"What's a slap? I want to eat your flesh and blood!" Concubine Shu roared angrily, "You asked me for an explanation? I was about to ask you for an explanation! The messenger came to report, and Yongchen brought 3000 people to King Qin. Surrounded outside, there are no less than 1 troops in Yongyi alone, not to mention the [-] gold soldiers in the north—don’t say you don’t know, you and I know it well. Is there a way out? Why did the [-] people in Yongyi surround and not kill them? They just wanted to use you as a bait to make Yongchen die! As long as you have a conscience, you shouldn’t treat him like this..." Concubine Shu’s voice trembled , Tears welled up in his eyes, "Ask yourself, among these sixteen younger brothers, which one respects you, loves you and protects you as much as Yongchen! But what about you? Yongchen can't understand. Could it be that my mother, this palace, still loves you?" Can you not understand?"
Prince Yongzhan listened with lowered eyes, and the palm print on his left cheek gradually became red and swollen.
"You lied to him! Lied to him! Lied to him!" Concubine Shu sternly said, "When he was five years old, the Empress Dowager came back from Mount Wutai to protect the Concubine De, which was very disadvantageous to you. The eunuch tricked Yong Chen into breaking the Empress Dowager's Longevity Flower. Probably originally intended to draw Ben Gong against Concubine De, but never thought Yong Chen would let the Queen Mother go back to Mount Wutai directly; you are naturally happy. It's only to blame, then I found out about the little eunuch too late. By the time you realized it, you had already connected Yongchen to Yuqing Palace..."
The crown prince Yongzhan listened in silence, his eyes gradually grew serious.
Concubine Shu sneered again and again, "You are used to inviting people's hearts. Poor at that moment, my Yongchen can't hear others saying something bad about you. From then on, any conflicts with Concubine De, you So you always push Yong Chen to come forward. After finally waiting for Yong Chen to get married and establish your own palace, you played tricks on the new princess, not to mention the singers you arranged. Years ago, the emperor had the idea of establishing a new crown prince. You feel that Yongchen is a threat, so you send him to the northwest; now that the capital is in danger, you want to make him die for you! If you still have half a conscience, you should kill yourself for the people, and don't let these officers and ministers die for you in vain. Don't let Yong Chen fall into the trap!"
"Concubine Shu has been in the harem for [-] years, don't you know—" Crown Prince Yongzhan lowered his eyelashes, and said in a low voice, "The place in the world that can't tolerate conscience is the royal family." His voice was as pleasant as ever, It is as gentle as the first snowflake falling in early winter, and it also brings a cold wave throughout the winter.
Concubine Shu was suffocated, and rushed forward to grab the prince and jump out of the wall together.As the mother, Concubine Shu, no longer has the elegance and demureness of a noble lady.
Prince Yongzhan dodged and avoided, even his sleeves never touched the rushing woman.
The soldiers rushed forward.
"You killed Bengong! You dare to kill even the emperor! You said Yongyi was a traitor, but Yongyi wanted to avenge his father and do justice for the heavens! Why didn't you kill Bengong?" Concubine Shu yelled, Intended to anger the prince.
"Does Concubine Shu want to use her own death in exchange for Yongchen to calm down for a while?" Prince Yongzhan watched the soldiers capture Concubine Shu, he took a step forward slowly, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Mother and Concubine Shu are more concerned. Since Gu and Yongchen are brothers, why do you owe them?" He laughed lightly.
Concubine Shu was startled and furious, and she continued to curse.
Prince Yongzhan frowned slightly when he heard her say some wild words.Su Danmo at the side knew the situation, stepped forward and said "offended" respectfully, and covered Concubine Shu's mouth with a silk handkerchief.Concubine Shu Gui let out a loud cry, tears streaming from her eyes, reminiscent of a cow kneeling down and weeping to protect her calf.
Concubine Shu was taken away by the soldiers, and the inner wall was quiet as if nothing had happened.
Habayashi Wei Zuochang persuaded: "The imperial concubine is worried and lost her mind. We swear to protect His Highness to the death! Presumably King Yong is also in the same mood."
The crown prince Yongzhan looked at the rows of "loyalty" flags waving in the wind a hundred feet away in silence - all of them were Yongyi's people.
Fang Ao was on the side, talking to himself: "Even if King Yong is here, let's not talk about whether he can fight against the people of King Zhong. It is King Yong who won, and now the emperor is missing, and all the ministers Being imprisoned and turbulent so much—when the time comes, how do you know that King Yong will not take advantage of the situation? Anyone who can save you can also kill you!" He earnestly said: "Your Highness, you have listened to my minister's persuasion, and now leave and return It is possible, after three days it will be too late!"
Prince Yongzhan didn't answer, he just stood silently on the top of the wall, as if he was about to stand like a strangely handsome stone statue.
The early morning three days later was the darkest moment before dawn.
Outside the Forbidden Palace, there was an uproar of people and horses, and the king of Zhongjun led the army. As soon as the three rounds of drums passed, he was about to attack the city and break the gate.The most difficult part of attacking the Forbidden Palace is the gate, which cannot be broken through without the sacrifice of thousands of people.
In the third round of loud and terrifying drumbeats, under the reflection of countless torches, the gate of the Forbidden Palace was slowly opened from the inside in front of tens of thousands of soldiers.
Fang Ao, clothed in cloth shoes and holding a national seal, came out alone.
"Pass down the crown prince's command." Fang Ao's complexion was turned orange by the flames, "Both soldiers are citizens of this dynasty and should not kill each other. Ministers are the pillars of the country and should not be humiliated or damaged. Loyalty to the king's plans , I’m alone.” His speech slowed down, “Pingdan beats the drums, brother hears the sad Tangdi. The sixteenth brother, I’m already waiting in front of the Sizheng Palace.”
All the original Forbidden Palace soldiers put down their weapons, and Zhongjun Wang Yongyi's troops quickly took over the Forbidden Palace.
At the foot of the white marble steps in front of the Ideological and Political Hall, Prince Yongzhan sat alone on a sandalwood chair, making the Forbidden Palace even more empty.
"Bind all the ministers in the prison and come here." Yong Yi put the knife back into the scabbard, and strode over, "Put a big cauldron in front of the prince, and boil the water." He walked up to the prince Yong Zhan and said with a smile : "It is said that the second elder brother killed the father, and this king has no choice but to do it; after all, brotherhood is no greater than that of father and son, monarch and minister - do you want to hand over father, or..." He pointed at the bottom salary The huge cauldron that has been on fire, "Where is it being boiled?"
The two looked at each other, one was calm and the other was excited.
Yong Yi sneered in his heart, the prince couldn't be forced, so he could only confess that he killed his father.He had rushed into the incident when he received the news that the crown prince had plotted to assassinate his father.If the preparation time is longer and the cooperation with the Jin people is better, even if Han Yue leads the Northwest Army to come, he will not be afraid!
"Are you waiting for Xiao Shiqi to rescue you?" Seeing the soldiers escorting the bound ministers over one by one, Yong Yi leaned into Prince Yong Zhan's ear and said softly: "No rush, I'm waiting too."
"Jun Wang, outside the Forbidden Palace, the Yong Jun Wang led troops to fight with our people!"
Yong Yi raised his eyebrows, "So fast? Catch him alive." He personally took the cowhide bands and slowly tied up Prince Yong Zhan's hands and feet.
"Sixteenth Brother, why bother so much." Prince Yongzhan smiled faintly, "Your people have surrounded the Forbidden Palace heavily, and it's hard to fly alone."
"It's not that I'm afraid you'll escape." Yong Yi tightened the cowhide band, "It's to prevent you from struggling in the cauldron later, and crawling out if it's half-cooked. Wouldn't it be scary?" He looked Glancing at Prince Yongzhan, he said with a smile, "Second brother, don't blame me. Everyone knows that you killed your father, and under the banner of avenging your father, I must have the grief and indignation that matches it. For the sake of the minister, I will cook you, and this will be a good thing left in the history books."
Prince Yongzhan just looked at him.
"You don't think you know me anymore?" Yong Yi smiled, "I used to be a bit weak. Later, my mother and concubine were killed by poison, and my two elder brothers were imprisoned by a high wall. They lived day and night in front of my father. Filial piety—it's nothing compared to Yong Ye memorizing two poems...don't look at me like that, if you were me, you would become like this too." He kept smiling, and that smile became terrifying, "I was originally a father It’s fine if you don’t love your mother or love you. How come your father loves you so much, and once you think about changing the crown prince, you will kill you? Why does Xiao Shiqi love you so much, and now you are in danger Even if there is no chance of being rescued, why do you want him to throw himself into the net to save you? Human nature is the same, you don’t have to look at me like this if you don’t talk about the second brother.”
All the ministers tied their hands behind their backs, and Wu Ya knelt down behind Prince Yongzhan.
Yong Yi straightened his waist and said loudly: "The whereabouts of the father are unknown, it is really the prince's harm. The prince Yongzhan is so perverse, I have to ask for it for my father and the king! All the ministers are humerus ministers, and they were deceived by this king before. , Now that I have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, I will never blame the past!"
The ministers who are now bound are respected by Shangshu Dong Shen.Dong Shen was extremely tactful, seeing that everyone was looking at him, he howled twice and called him "Xiandi", but he didn't tell the truth.
I could hear the shouting and killing outside the Forbidden Palace, it was Yong Chen who led people to rush there.
Yong Yi stroked the blade with his thumb, and said softly: "The fish is already hooked, so there is no need to keep the bait."
Prince Yongzhan just looked at the sky in the distance, the originally dark night has broken a glimmer of light.
Fang Ao stopped in front of the prince Yongzhan, and said angrily: "Bravely rebellious! The next one is the next one! If you want to hurt His Royal Highness, you must step on me first!"
"Tsk tsk," Yong Yi sighed, "It's true that everyone wants to be famous in history." He turned the hilt of the knife upside down, and knocked out the powerless scribe unconsciously with a single stroke.
There was an uneasy commotion among the ministers.
Yong Yi looked at the prince Yong Zhan who was sitting quietly, and the excitement of being about to ascend to the pinnacle of power burned him, making him inexplicably jealous of this untimely silence.The shouts of killing outside the Forbidden Palace were already deafening.He suddenly leaned over, and the cold blade pressed against the prince's neck, pressing the blood vessels under the white skin like sapphire.
"Boiled to death, it's unbearable pain. In the end, I'll give you a generous treat, how about it?"
Suddenly I heard the sound of horseshoes beating wildly like a strong drum, and suddenly I arrived at the arch bridge in front of the hall.
"He actually broke in!" Yong Yi was taken aback, the gate of the Forbidden Palace is so difficult to break, Yong Chen can only have 3000 troops, against his [-] army, how did he break in when one against three?This doubt was only in a flash, he grinned grinningly, "So what if we just barge in? Shoot the arrow!" Saying that, without any further hesitation, he swung the long knife towards the prince's neck.
"Stop hurting my brother!" The visitor shouted loudly, and amidst the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air, he stepped on his horse's back, leaped into the air, swung his arms and slammed his gun, and the movements were done in one go.The silver spear came later, knocking away the long knife in Yong Yi's hand, and made a loud sound of "Hang Lang", the lingering sound continued, making everyone dizzy.Immediately there was a sound of sharp arrows piercing into the flesh, and the dragon horse who helped the master in the last journey knelt down on the ground, and thousands of arrows shot into his body amidst the mournful hiss.
The long knife was released, and Yongyi's tiger's mouth was in severe pain. In his fright, he still wanted to kill the prince first. He took out the dagger in his boots and stabbed the prince directly between the eyes. He squeezed his wrist - he can get his hand when he sees it, but he can't get any more than half an inch.
When Ping Dan was about to pass away, in the half-dark sky, the person who came was dressed in silver armor and covered in blood. Although he had no blue face and fangs, he looked like a ghost from hell.Blood and sweat were mixed together and dripped from his cheeks. With a hoarse voice, he chuckled softly, "Brother Sixteen's martial arts are not as good as before." He put more force on his hands.
Yongyi cried out in pain and unknowingly let go of his five fingers—the dagger fell straight down, was picked up by Yongchen's toe, and fell into Yongchen's hand lightly.
Yongchen twisted Yongyi's arms behind his back with one hand, pointed the dagger at the veins of his neck, glanced at the bow and crossbowmen surrounded by iron barrels, and said: "Brother Sixteen, let your men disarm and disarm, Otherwise..." With force on his hand, the dagger cut through Yong Yi's skin, and blood oozes out.
"Seventeenth brother, don't be impulsive." Yong Yi gasped for breath, but said with a smile: "The [-] Jinren army is in the northern suburbs. If anything happens to me, I will immediately send troops south. Lives must be burned inside and outside the Forbidden Palace, even this Forbidden Palace may not be able to withstand the fire."
"Brother Sixteen, you have an army of [-] Jinren, but do you know that there are [-] troops of Han Yue behind me?"
"This is deceiving me." Yong Yi sneered, "A hundred thousand troops came from the northwest, wouldn't I know? Sixteenth brother, the crown prince killed his father, but you didn't do anything. We brothers have always had a good relationship..."
Yong Chen interrupted him, and said with a smile: "Brother Sixteen is familiar with military affairs, but have you heard the story of besieging Wei and saving Zhao?"
"You mean..." Yong Yi couldn't laugh anymore, and there was a look of fear in his eyes.
"Yes, I mean that Han Yue has surrounded the golden man's lair, and your Jin Zhuma has led the army back to King Qin in the starry night!"
"Nonsense!" Yongyi was startled, but when he heard the shouts of killing outside, a row of soldiers rushed into the inner gate, all armored and protected. Your Highness, the rebels and their party have been cleared away. Bohu is counting the casualties outside the palace, and the servants will return first."
A steady stream of soldiers are still pouring in, and the silver armor on their bodies reflects the early morning sky, making it almost suspicious that they are on the battlefield.
Yongyi recognized that the general who came back was none other than Yongchen's former guard, Qin Baiyu.
The tide is gone.
Yongchen threw Yongyi in his hand to Qin Baiyu, and said coldly: "Take care of him!"
Yong Yi was flustered, tripped himself, and was pushed to the ground by Qin Baiyu. He looked around in a daze, and saw that his bow and crossbow team had already put down their bows and arrows.
Fang Ao, who had just been knocked unconscious by Yong Yi with the handle of a knife, woke up leisurely. When he opened his eyes, he saw Yong Chen, covered in blood, holding a dagger and staring at His Royal Highness, whose hands and feet were bound.Fang Ao was startled, and shouted: "You mustn't do it, Prince Yong!" However, his voice was weak, his head was dizzy, and he couldn't even stand up.
Yongchen's troops have already taken control of the Forbidden Palace, and no one can stand against him in this square.The emperor's disappearance was rumored to be the crown prince's fault; the king of Zhongjun had an incident, and his selfishness could not be concealed; now the prince and king of Zhongjun were both at risk, and he, king of Yongjun, was only one step away from the throne.
Everything was silent, and everyone's eyes fell on Yong Chen.
Yong Chen walked towards the prince slowly.On the white marble floor he walked on, there was a line of glaring and frightening bloody footprints.
Fighting all the way, entering the Forbidden Palace, the soles of Yong Chen's boots are full of blood, and the saber is also slashed; .He waved the dagger in his hand——
A silver light flashed, and the cold air hit the face, forcing Prince Yongzhan to close his eyes.
With two slight "boom" and "boom", the cowhide band was cut and bounced off.
Prince Yongzhan only felt his hands and feet loosen, and the area that had been tied up felt itchy.
I saw the silver-armored youth who just killed the reincarnation of a god slowly knelt in front of Prince Yongzhan.
Following Yongchen's kneeling, the thousands of soldiers who poured in also kneeled together, and the sound of armor colliding with the ground came like waves.
"Long live the new king!" Yong Chen said loudly, his voice was sent out steadily by the Qiao Chenfeng.He knelt down.
"Long live!" Thousands of soldiers from the northwest followed and shouted, shaking the earth.
"Long live again!" Yong Chen hissed.
"Long live!" The bound ministers kneeling behind Prince Yongzhan also reacted and joined in the shouting.
"Three cheers!"
"Long live!" Even Yuan Yongyi's bow and archers shrank and opened their mouths.
So everyone knelt down on the ground, put their hands on the ground, and rested their foreheads on the backs of their hands.
Prince Yongzhan stretched out his hand, and the bright yellow sleeves slid down, covering the strangle marks on his wrist.He took Yong Chen's bloody hand, trying to pull him up.
Yongchen ran for thousands of miles, and after another night of fighting, he was all supported by a single breath. Now that the major event has been settled, his mind relaxes, and he feels his hands and feet go limp.Although he held the hand extended by the elder brother of the prince, his legs became weak for a moment and he couldn't get up, so he simply leaned against the armrest of the grand teacher's chair and looked up at the safe and sound new king.
Prince Yongzhan looked down and saw his seventeenth brother tilted his head and looked up at him, his forehead hair slid to his ears, finally showing his eyes.Those eyes were so bright and clean, looking at him with infinite admiration, just like when he was a teenager.
"As long as my brother believes in me." Yong Chen said softly, his bright eyes concealed complex emotions, "I will never betray my brother."
Prince Yongzhan was finally moved.
The oath made in Dunben Hall, the young man will never forget.
The girl stood up in shock when she heard the curtain of the tent being lifted, her beautiful eyes showed fear and uneasiness; she calmed down a little after seeing the person coming, she lowered her head again, and asked An, "Your Majesty, Wanan." The voice was a bit hoarse .
It was only then that Yongchen recognized that the somewhat embarrassed girl in front of him was Daiyu who had grown up.He glanced at Daiyu's thin clothes and her embroidered shoes that were covered in wind and sand, and knew that there must be something wrong in Beijing.
"Stay outside, and no one is allowed to approach." Yong Chen ordered Lianxi, walked into the tent alone, picked up the copper pot after thinking about it, poured a cup of warm water to Daiyu, and said kindly: "Warm yourself first. Seeing Daiyu drink up the glass of water in a quick sip, she expected that she had suffered a lot along the way, so she asked with a slow smile, "You came here by yourself? Where's Master Lin?"
After entering a cup of water, Daiyu's voice was no longer hoarse, and revealed the sweetness in the bottom, and she said right away, "Daddy has been thrown into prison."
Yong Chen was surprised, but when he saw Daiyu panicked, he didn't show it on his face, and said gently: "Don't be afraid, I guess there is some misunderstanding. Since you came here, just think of me as an elder brother. I will play... ..."
"The king of Zhongjun is in trouble." Daiyu said softly, but it was shocking.She trembled herself.
Yong Chen paused, holding the copper pot without moving for a while.
"On March [-]rd, I went to the Buddhist temple to offer incense. Xiangyun went with me, but she insisted that I stay with her in the Buddhist temple for one night. That night, something bad happened. The sixteenth princes raised their troops. They had already arrested my father. There are many ministers and relatives, and it was Xiangyun who helped me escape at night..."
"How did Xiangyun know that Yongyi was going to raise troops?"
Daiyu was startled, and whispered: "Xiangyun is engaged to the young son of the Wei family who is the younger brother of Princess Zhongjun, presumably it is the young master of the Wei family..."
"To tell the truth, I can save your father." Yong Chen's tone sank, the defense between men and women in the court is so serious, how could the young son of the Wei family disclose such important things to his fiancée who has no previous relationship.
"Yes... It was Baoyu who sent the letter to Xiangyun. My maternal ancestor's family has also taken refuge in King Zhongjun, and wants to help King Zhongjun capture me and my father..." Daiyu burst into tears when she said this.
"How can Baoyu know?" Yong Chen stared at Daiyu, seeing the desolate look on Daiyu, who didn't seem to be fake, and suddenly thought, "Yes, he has a good relationship with Cheng Ye—how did Cheng Ye know Yongyi in advance? Raising troops? Could it be that Yongyi took over the old tribe of the fifth prince? However, the old tribe of Yongdan has long been uprooted by his father, so why does Yongyi plan to join forces with the old tribe of the fifth prince? Unless it is... a golden man who is not in the court!" Concubine De It is true that the department has close contacts with the Jin people.
Thinking of this, Yong Chen was shocked, turned around and went to the big tent.
Lianxi poked her head in from outside, and smiled at the helpless Daiyu: "Miss Lin, do you want to wash up and eat? There are no good maids here, but there are a few women from the village who can do it."
Daiyu smiled miserably, and said softly, "I'm sorry." It's a fluke that she survived, and she dared not ask for anything else.
In the big tent, Yong Chen had made it clear to Han Yue, clapped his hands together and said, "I will bring three thousand elites back to Beijing immediately! The rest will be handed over to the general!"
The whole afternoon, the two of them discussed in the tent the matter of dispatching troops, and it was not until dinner time that Yong Chen thought of Daiyu, because he asked Lianxi if it was settled.
"Go back to Your Highness, and put it in a small courtyard next to the barracks. It's a bit rougher than the capital, but it's already the best courtyard here, and there's a plum tree in the courtyard. Two hardworking and decent women were picked from the village. People are serving for the time being..."
Yong Chen nodded, but his mind was still on the matter of using soldiers. Hearing what Lianxi said, he turned his head to discuss with Han Yue again.
It wasn't until midnight that Yong Chen returned to his tent, but it was difficult to fall asleep, and he drank two glasses of strong wine alone.Thinking about the situation in Kyoto, I can't help worrying about the prince's brother.The rest of Yongyi had a reason not to kill; but it is absolutely impossible to let the prince brother go.If it wasn't for Daiyu's accidental escape, it would be a few days before the army received the news of being blocked by Yongyi - by then, it would be too late.
It was difficult to sleep on the left and right, so Yong Chen simply put on his clothes and got up, put on a big cloak and walked outside the barracks.
The sentinel on guard watched him, and it was now the second watch.
I happened to walk to the only small courtyard with plum blossoms nearby.
The courtyard door was unlocked, and Yong Chen opened it with a light push.
In the night sky, a few wisps of thin clouds supported a weak crescent moon.
Under the cold moonlight, with red plums on the branches of the old plums, the girl in the red cloak looked back in surprise, with tears in her eyes, which further accentuated the melancholy between her brows.
It is Daiyu who can't sleep peacefully and weeps alone under the moon.
Seeing her sad look through the flowers and trees, Yongchen suddenly felt his heart beating faster when he was drunk, and he had already walked under the plum tree in front of Daiyu before he knew it.
Daiyu held her breath, the crystals in her eyes suddenly dropped.
In silence, Yong Chen bent down slowly, stretched out his hand——
Daiyu dared not move.
The hand that draws the bow and shoots the arrow, wields the knife and the gun, slowly stretches out to the hibiscus flower embroidered shoes on the girl's feet, and gently brushes off the fallen plum petals.
The night wind brought a fragrance of plum blossoms.
Daiyu took two steps back, wrapped herself tightly in the cloak, stared at Yongchen in panic, her cheeks ached.
Yongchen woke up like a dream, froze in place, stood up straight after a pause, propped his forehead and apologized: "I'm drunk." He took a step back, looked at Daiyu and said gently: "I wanted to walk to relax. ... I was the one who was abrupt just now. Don't be afraid."
As soon as he spoke, the village woman who was dozing inside woke up and screamed, "Miss! Miss, where are you?"
In the quiet night, it sounds like sleep talking and ventriloquist.
Yongchen and Daiyu looked at each other, and there was a little smile in their eyes.
Daiyu bowed obediently, walked around the plum tree with a calm face, pushed the door open and entered.
Liu Yongchen was isolated under the tree, feeling a little moved in a sense of loss.Now that the night is quiet and many arrangements have been made, Yong Chen realized that when he met Daiyu at noon, he was too rude.She is just a girl of twelve or thirteen years old, not to mention the long journey from the capital to the northwest, and there may even be Yongyi's pursuers behind, how dangerous the journey must be; her father was arrested, her grandfather abandoned her, Daiyu should be so worried and afraid.The moment he lifted the curtain and entered, those beautiful eyes full of panic and fear remained in his mind.
It is because of the unknown.
Kyoto, the ninth day of the siege of the Forbidden Palace by King Zhongjun.
"Your Highness, the sentry found a battalion of cavalry coming from the northwest. They did not stop day and night, but they arrived in the capital in just three days. The leader of the troops was King Yong."
"Got it, what else is there?"
"Qianfengying captured a messenger, who seemed to be Concubine Shu, who came out to inquire about news. Do you see...?"
"Let him go back." Yong Yi signaled the others to step back, then stroked his palms, and said to the counselor Zou Tingyan who was sitting under the window: "This is a good show. Mr. is more resourceful, let the Lin family miss out in advance, and sure enough Xiao Shiqi wants to lead troops to guard the crown prince. I was worried at first, but when the big event is over, it will be a disaster if Xiao Shiqi stays in the northwest;
Zou Tingyan opened his gray and lifeless eyes, and said with a sneer, "Catch them all in one go? Only if the Jinren's [-] troops can actually reach them."
"Nothing will go wrong. Jin Zhuma leads the army and is stationed in the northern suburbs of the capital. When the people of Yongchen arrive, they can kill the prince first, and then destroy Yongchen." Yongyi glanced at the expressionless man, who could not see the expression of happiness or anger. Zou Tingyan said with a smile: "Before the incident, I was still a little uneasy. If it weren't for the reassurance of my husband, today's grand occasion would not have happened."
Zou Tingyan twitched the corner of his mouth, didn't respond to the compliment, instead sighed, and said: "Sieged for nine days, the scene in the Forbidden Palace must be ugly."
Forbidden Palace.
Concubine Shu heard the messenger's report, the blood on her face faded, and she asked coldly, "Where is the prince now?"
The aunt at the side replied: "The situation is critical. His Highness the Crown Prince has not returned to Yuqing Palace for several days. I heard that he climbed the inner wall and ate and slept with Habayashi Wei."
Concubine Shu sneered: "He is used to acting." Standing up, she held the aunt's hand and said, "Yong Ye will entrust it to you."
People in the palace are in panic, food is getting shorter, and filth is piling up.
Concubine Shu didn't even call for a chariot, she went up the inner wall alone on foot, summoned a small boss and asked where the prince was, went up to the viewing platform, and bumped into the prince Yongzhan who came with all the chief guards.
The two met on a narrow road.
Prince Yongzhan didn't say a word, everyone only heard a "pa", and Concubine Shu slapped the prince on the face.
The guards were shocked and drew their swords one after another, the sound of the swords was loud.
Prince Yongzhan was beaten to the side, but he signaled the people behind him not to move rashly. He lightly wiped the corner of his lips with his thumb, glanced at the red marks on it, and did not speak for a while.
"Where is the emperor? What have you done to the emperor?" Concubine Shu approached, and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Did you hide it? Killed it? Or buried it? Because he knew your little secret Change the establishment of a new king, right?"
The crown prince Yongzhan said calmly: "You should ask the traitor Yongyi about the whereabouts of the emperor father. Ordinary people like you don't know about it. This slap..."
"What's a slap? I want to eat your flesh and blood!" Concubine Shu roared angrily, "You asked me for an explanation? I was about to ask you for an explanation! The messenger came to report, and Yongchen brought 3000 people to King Qin. Surrounded outside, there are no less than 1 troops in Yongyi alone, not to mention the [-] gold soldiers in the north—don’t say you don’t know, you and I know it well. Is there a way out? Why did the [-] people in Yongyi surround and not kill them? They just wanted to use you as a bait to make Yongchen die! As long as you have a conscience, you shouldn’t treat him like this..." Concubine Shu’s voice trembled , Tears welled up in his eyes, "Ask yourself, among these sixteen younger brothers, which one respects you, loves you and protects you as much as Yongchen! But what about you? Yongchen can't understand. Could it be that my mother, this palace, still loves you?" Can you not understand?"
Prince Yongzhan listened with lowered eyes, and the palm print on his left cheek gradually became red and swollen.
"You lied to him! Lied to him! Lied to him!" Concubine Shu sternly said, "When he was five years old, the Empress Dowager came back from Mount Wutai to protect the Concubine De, which was very disadvantageous to you. The eunuch tricked Yong Chen into breaking the Empress Dowager's Longevity Flower. Probably originally intended to draw Ben Gong against Concubine De, but never thought Yong Chen would let the Queen Mother go back to Mount Wutai directly; you are naturally happy. It's only to blame, then I found out about the little eunuch too late. By the time you realized it, you had already connected Yongchen to Yuqing Palace..."
The crown prince Yongzhan listened in silence, his eyes gradually grew serious.
Concubine Shu sneered again and again, "You are used to inviting people's hearts. Poor at that moment, my Yongchen can't hear others saying something bad about you. From then on, any conflicts with Concubine De, you So you always push Yong Chen to come forward. After finally waiting for Yong Chen to get married and establish your own palace, you played tricks on the new princess, not to mention the singers you arranged. Years ago, the emperor had the idea of establishing a new crown prince. You feel that Yongchen is a threat, so you send him to the northwest; now that the capital is in danger, you want to make him die for you! If you still have half a conscience, you should kill yourself for the people, and don't let these officers and ministers die for you in vain. Don't let Yong Chen fall into the trap!"
"Concubine Shu has been in the harem for [-] years, don't you know—" Crown Prince Yongzhan lowered his eyelashes, and said in a low voice, "The place in the world that can't tolerate conscience is the royal family." His voice was as pleasant as ever, It is as gentle as the first snowflake falling in early winter, and it also brings a cold wave throughout the winter.
Concubine Shu was suffocated, and rushed forward to grab the prince and jump out of the wall together.As the mother, Concubine Shu, no longer has the elegance and demureness of a noble lady.
Prince Yongzhan dodged and avoided, even his sleeves never touched the rushing woman.
The soldiers rushed forward.
"You killed Bengong! You dare to kill even the emperor! You said Yongyi was a traitor, but Yongyi wanted to avenge his father and do justice for the heavens! Why didn't you kill Bengong?" Concubine Shu yelled, Intended to anger the prince.
"Does Concubine Shu want to use her own death in exchange for Yongchen to calm down for a while?" Prince Yongzhan watched the soldiers capture Concubine Shu, he took a step forward slowly, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Mother and Concubine Shu are more concerned. Since Gu and Yongchen are brothers, why do you owe them?" He laughed lightly.
Concubine Shu was startled and furious, and she continued to curse.
Prince Yongzhan frowned slightly when he heard her say some wild words.Su Danmo at the side knew the situation, stepped forward and said "offended" respectfully, and covered Concubine Shu's mouth with a silk handkerchief.Concubine Shu Gui let out a loud cry, tears streaming from her eyes, reminiscent of a cow kneeling down and weeping to protect her calf.
Concubine Shu was taken away by the soldiers, and the inner wall was quiet as if nothing had happened.
Habayashi Wei Zuochang persuaded: "The imperial concubine is worried and lost her mind. We swear to protect His Highness to the death! Presumably King Yong is also in the same mood."
The crown prince Yongzhan looked at the rows of "loyalty" flags waving in the wind a hundred feet away in silence - all of them were Yongyi's people.
Fang Ao was on the side, talking to himself: "Even if King Yong is here, let's not talk about whether he can fight against the people of King Zhong. It is King Yong who won, and now the emperor is missing, and all the ministers Being imprisoned and turbulent so much—when the time comes, how do you know that King Yong will not take advantage of the situation? Anyone who can save you can also kill you!" He earnestly said: "Your Highness, you have listened to my minister's persuasion, and now leave and return It is possible, after three days it will be too late!"
Prince Yongzhan didn't answer, he just stood silently on the top of the wall, as if he was about to stand like a strangely handsome stone statue.
The early morning three days later was the darkest moment before dawn.
Outside the Forbidden Palace, there was an uproar of people and horses, and the king of Zhongjun led the army. As soon as the three rounds of drums passed, he was about to attack the city and break the gate.The most difficult part of attacking the Forbidden Palace is the gate, which cannot be broken through without the sacrifice of thousands of people.
In the third round of loud and terrifying drumbeats, under the reflection of countless torches, the gate of the Forbidden Palace was slowly opened from the inside in front of tens of thousands of soldiers.
Fang Ao, clothed in cloth shoes and holding a national seal, came out alone.
"Pass down the crown prince's command." Fang Ao's complexion was turned orange by the flames, "Both soldiers are citizens of this dynasty and should not kill each other. Ministers are the pillars of the country and should not be humiliated or damaged. Loyalty to the king's plans , I’m alone.” His speech slowed down, “Pingdan beats the drums, brother hears the sad Tangdi. The sixteenth brother, I’m already waiting in front of the Sizheng Palace.”
All the original Forbidden Palace soldiers put down their weapons, and Zhongjun Wang Yongyi's troops quickly took over the Forbidden Palace.
At the foot of the white marble steps in front of the Ideological and Political Hall, Prince Yongzhan sat alone on a sandalwood chair, making the Forbidden Palace even more empty.
"Bind all the ministers in the prison and come here." Yong Yi put the knife back into the scabbard, and strode over, "Put a big cauldron in front of the prince, and boil the water." He walked up to the prince Yong Zhan and said with a smile : "It is said that the second elder brother killed the father, and this king has no choice but to do it; after all, brotherhood is no greater than that of father and son, monarch and minister - do you want to hand over father, or..." He pointed at the bottom salary The huge cauldron that has been on fire, "Where is it being boiled?"
The two looked at each other, one was calm and the other was excited.
Yong Yi sneered in his heart, the prince couldn't be forced, so he could only confess that he killed his father.He had rushed into the incident when he received the news that the crown prince had plotted to assassinate his father.If the preparation time is longer and the cooperation with the Jin people is better, even if Han Yue leads the Northwest Army to come, he will not be afraid!
"Are you waiting for Xiao Shiqi to rescue you?" Seeing the soldiers escorting the bound ministers over one by one, Yong Yi leaned into Prince Yong Zhan's ear and said softly: "No rush, I'm waiting too."
"Jun Wang, outside the Forbidden Palace, the Yong Jun Wang led troops to fight with our people!"
Yong Yi raised his eyebrows, "So fast? Catch him alive." He personally took the cowhide bands and slowly tied up Prince Yong Zhan's hands and feet.
"Sixteenth Brother, why bother so much." Prince Yongzhan smiled faintly, "Your people have surrounded the Forbidden Palace heavily, and it's hard to fly alone."
"It's not that I'm afraid you'll escape." Yong Yi tightened the cowhide band, "It's to prevent you from struggling in the cauldron later, and crawling out if it's half-cooked. Wouldn't it be scary?" He looked Glancing at Prince Yongzhan, he said with a smile, "Second brother, don't blame me. Everyone knows that you killed your father, and under the banner of avenging your father, I must have the grief and indignation that matches it. For the sake of the minister, I will cook you, and this will be a good thing left in the history books."
Prince Yongzhan just looked at him.
"You don't think you know me anymore?" Yong Yi smiled, "I used to be a bit weak. Later, my mother and concubine were killed by poison, and my two elder brothers were imprisoned by a high wall. They lived day and night in front of my father. Filial piety—it's nothing compared to Yong Ye memorizing two poems...don't look at me like that, if you were me, you would become like this too." He kept smiling, and that smile became terrifying, "I was originally a father It’s fine if you don’t love your mother or love you. How come your father loves you so much, and once you think about changing the crown prince, you will kill you? Why does Xiao Shiqi love you so much, and now you are in danger Even if there is no chance of being rescued, why do you want him to throw himself into the net to save you? Human nature is the same, you don’t have to look at me like this if you don’t talk about the second brother.”
All the ministers tied their hands behind their backs, and Wu Ya knelt down behind Prince Yongzhan.
Yong Yi straightened his waist and said loudly: "The whereabouts of the father are unknown, it is really the prince's harm. The prince Yongzhan is so perverse, I have to ask for it for my father and the king! All the ministers are humerus ministers, and they were deceived by this king before. , Now that I have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, I will never blame the past!"
The ministers who are now bound are respected by Shangshu Dong Shen.Dong Shen was extremely tactful, seeing that everyone was looking at him, he howled twice and called him "Xiandi", but he didn't tell the truth.
I could hear the shouting and killing outside the Forbidden Palace, it was Yong Chen who led people to rush there.
Yong Yi stroked the blade with his thumb, and said softly: "The fish is already hooked, so there is no need to keep the bait."
Prince Yongzhan just looked at the sky in the distance, the originally dark night has broken a glimmer of light.
Fang Ao stopped in front of the prince Yongzhan, and said angrily: "Bravely rebellious! The next one is the next one! If you want to hurt His Royal Highness, you must step on me first!"
"Tsk tsk," Yong Yi sighed, "It's true that everyone wants to be famous in history." He turned the hilt of the knife upside down, and knocked out the powerless scribe unconsciously with a single stroke.
There was an uneasy commotion among the ministers.
Yong Yi looked at the prince Yong Zhan who was sitting quietly, and the excitement of being about to ascend to the pinnacle of power burned him, making him inexplicably jealous of this untimely silence.The shouts of killing outside the Forbidden Palace were already deafening.He suddenly leaned over, and the cold blade pressed against the prince's neck, pressing the blood vessels under the white skin like sapphire.
"Boiled to death, it's unbearable pain. In the end, I'll give you a generous treat, how about it?"
Suddenly I heard the sound of horseshoes beating wildly like a strong drum, and suddenly I arrived at the arch bridge in front of the hall.
"He actually broke in!" Yong Yi was taken aback, the gate of the Forbidden Palace is so difficult to break, Yong Chen can only have 3000 troops, against his [-] army, how did he break in when one against three?This doubt was only in a flash, he grinned grinningly, "So what if we just barge in? Shoot the arrow!" Saying that, without any further hesitation, he swung the long knife towards the prince's neck.
"Stop hurting my brother!" The visitor shouted loudly, and amidst the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air, he stepped on his horse's back, leaped into the air, swung his arms and slammed his gun, and the movements were done in one go.The silver spear came later, knocking away the long knife in Yong Yi's hand, and made a loud sound of "Hang Lang", the lingering sound continued, making everyone dizzy.Immediately there was a sound of sharp arrows piercing into the flesh, and the dragon horse who helped the master in the last journey knelt down on the ground, and thousands of arrows shot into his body amidst the mournful hiss.
The long knife was released, and Yongyi's tiger's mouth was in severe pain. In his fright, he still wanted to kill the prince first. He took out the dagger in his boots and stabbed the prince directly between the eyes. He squeezed his wrist - he can get his hand when he sees it, but he can't get any more than half an inch.
When Ping Dan was about to pass away, in the half-dark sky, the person who came was dressed in silver armor and covered in blood. Although he had no blue face and fangs, he looked like a ghost from hell.Blood and sweat were mixed together and dripped from his cheeks. With a hoarse voice, he chuckled softly, "Brother Sixteen's martial arts are not as good as before." He put more force on his hands.
Yongyi cried out in pain and unknowingly let go of his five fingers—the dagger fell straight down, was picked up by Yongchen's toe, and fell into Yongchen's hand lightly.
Yongchen twisted Yongyi's arms behind his back with one hand, pointed the dagger at the veins of his neck, glanced at the bow and crossbowmen surrounded by iron barrels, and said: "Brother Sixteen, let your men disarm and disarm, Otherwise..." With force on his hand, the dagger cut through Yong Yi's skin, and blood oozes out.
"Seventeenth brother, don't be impulsive." Yong Yi gasped for breath, but said with a smile: "The [-] Jinren army is in the northern suburbs. If anything happens to me, I will immediately send troops south. Lives must be burned inside and outside the Forbidden Palace, even this Forbidden Palace may not be able to withstand the fire."
"Brother Sixteen, you have an army of [-] Jinren, but do you know that there are [-] troops of Han Yue behind me?"
"This is deceiving me." Yong Yi sneered, "A hundred thousand troops came from the northwest, wouldn't I know? Sixteenth brother, the crown prince killed his father, but you didn't do anything. We brothers have always had a good relationship..."
Yong Chen interrupted him, and said with a smile: "Brother Sixteen is familiar with military affairs, but have you heard the story of besieging Wei and saving Zhao?"
"You mean..." Yong Yi couldn't laugh anymore, and there was a look of fear in his eyes.
"Yes, I mean that Han Yue has surrounded the golden man's lair, and your Jin Zhuma has led the army back to King Qin in the starry night!"
"Nonsense!" Yongyi was startled, but when he heard the shouts of killing outside, a row of soldiers rushed into the inner gate, all armored and protected. Your Highness, the rebels and their party have been cleared away. Bohu is counting the casualties outside the palace, and the servants will return first."
A steady stream of soldiers are still pouring in, and the silver armor on their bodies reflects the early morning sky, making it almost suspicious that they are on the battlefield.
Yongyi recognized that the general who came back was none other than Yongchen's former guard, Qin Baiyu.
The tide is gone.
Yongchen threw Yongyi in his hand to Qin Baiyu, and said coldly: "Take care of him!"
Yong Yi was flustered, tripped himself, and was pushed to the ground by Qin Baiyu. He looked around in a daze, and saw that his bow and crossbow team had already put down their bows and arrows.
Fang Ao, who had just been knocked unconscious by Yong Yi with the handle of a knife, woke up leisurely. When he opened his eyes, he saw Yong Chen, covered in blood, holding a dagger and staring at His Royal Highness, whose hands and feet were bound.Fang Ao was startled, and shouted: "You mustn't do it, Prince Yong!" However, his voice was weak, his head was dizzy, and he couldn't even stand up.
Yongchen's troops have already taken control of the Forbidden Palace, and no one can stand against him in this square.The emperor's disappearance was rumored to be the crown prince's fault; the king of Zhongjun had an incident, and his selfishness could not be concealed; now the prince and king of Zhongjun were both at risk, and he, king of Yongjun, was only one step away from the throne.
Everything was silent, and everyone's eyes fell on Yong Chen.
Yong Chen walked towards the prince slowly.On the white marble floor he walked on, there was a line of glaring and frightening bloody footprints.
Fighting all the way, entering the Forbidden Palace, the soles of Yong Chen's boots are full of blood, and the saber is also slashed; .He waved the dagger in his hand——
A silver light flashed, and the cold air hit the face, forcing Prince Yongzhan to close his eyes.
With two slight "boom" and "boom", the cowhide band was cut and bounced off.
Prince Yongzhan only felt his hands and feet loosen, and the area that had been tied up felt itchy.
I saw the silver-armored youth who just killed the reincarnation of a god slowly knelt in front of Prince Yongzhan.
Following Yongchen's kneeling, the thousands of soldiers who poured in also kneeled together, and the sound of armor colliding with the ground came like waves.
"Long live the new king!" Yong Chen said loudly, his voice was sent out steadily by the Qiao Chenfeng.He knelt down.
"Long live!" Thousands of soldiers from the northwest followed and shouted, shaking the earth.
"Long live again!" Yong Chen hissed.
"Long live!" The bound ministers kneeling behind Prince Yongzhan also reacted and joined in the shouting.
"Three cheers!"
"Long live!" Even Yuan Yongyi's bow and archers shrank and opened their mouths.
So everyone knelt down on the ground, put their hands on the ground, and rested their foreheads on the backs of their hands.
Prince Yongzhan stretched out his hand, and the bright yellow sleeves slid down, covering the strangle marks on his wrist.He took Yong Chen's bloody hand, trying to pull him up.
Yongchen ran for thousands of miles, and after another night of fighting, he was all supported by a single breath. Now that the major event has been settled, his mind relaxes, and he feels his hands and feet go limp.Although he held the hand extended by the elder brother of the prince, his legs became weak for a moment and he couldn't get up, so he simply leaned against the armrest of the grand teacher's chair and looked up at the safe and sound new king.
Prince Yongzhan looked down and saw his seventeenth brother tilted his head and looked up at him, his forehead hair slid to his ears, finally showing his eyes.Those eyes were so bright and clean, looking at him with infinite admiration, just like when he was a teenager.
"As long as my brother believes in me." Yong Chen said softly, his bright eyes concealed complex emotions, "I will never betray my brother."
Prince Yongzhan was finally moved.
The oath made in Dunben Hall, the young man will never forget.
