==Chapter 196==
The death knell in the palace never sounded, and the dozens of important ministers who entered the palace never left the palace. Many people had an ominous premonition in their hearts.
At this moment, the closed palace door finally opened wide, and after a group of people poured out, it closed tightly again.
After leaving Donghua Gate, this group of people was divided into dozens of groups and rushed to various princes' palaces.
"There is an edict in the palace, calling King An into the palace."
"There is an edict in the palace to summon the King of Jin to the palace."
"There is an edict in the palace, calling King Lu into the palace."
……
These people were all galloping along, holding bright yellow imperial edicts high in their hands, as if they were reporting victory in wartime. At first glance, he was very anxious. There was something important going on in the palace. At the same time, these people were all dressed in plain clothes. It was obvious that someone had died in the palace, and they were very important people.
It's a pity that these people's posture was quite good, but what they encountered was that several palace doors were closed. Even if someone knocked on the door, no one answered, as if there was no one in the palace.
Reluctantly, these people had no choice but to return home in vain.
Not long after, he appeared again, but he went directly to the palaces of the courtiers.
Some courtiers were summoned to the palace, but nothing happened. Some pretend to be ill, evade, and resort to all means to protect themselves. Things have reached such a point that many people have realized that something is wrong.
But then, without giving them a chance to react, people wearing all kinds of armor poured onto the street. Among them were people from the Imperial Guard, people from the patrol camp, and even people from the Beijing Guard and the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. Like hungry wolves attacking sheep, they rushed to each house, knocking on the door first and treating each other with courtesy and good words. If the other party wants to shirk, they will invade the house by force and use strong methods to force the person to be taken away.
It was also the king who jumped over the wall. Although Wei Guogong held part of the military power of the Third Battalion of Beijing, and the Imperial Guards were bribed by the Zhonggong and others, this did not mean that they were sure of victory.
In order to save time, as well as manpower and material resources, Fang initially resorted to deception, intending to hijack hundreds of officials to support the king and enthrone him as emperor.
But while they were moving, someone was also moving below. News about the regicide and usurpation of the throne by the king had been secretly spread throughout the capital, and no one was willing to open the door to the rebels.
The King of Dai was so angry that he ordered to use strong measures.
For a time, the inner city was trembling, and ordinary people were so frightened that they did not dare to leave their homes. Some of the shops facing the streets had their doors closed, and no ordinary people could be seen on the streets.
I saw teams after teams of soldiers wearing bright armor, running back and forth, with screams and screams coming from time to time, as if they were trapped in the endless Abi.
In the palace of King Lu, King Lu cursed: "He is so brave!"
Whatever he didn’t dare to do, he already dared!
The staff asked: "Your Highness, what should we do now?"
This is not the time to use your brains to win, so the staff, who are known as think tanks, are also incompetent.
"Gather all the guards in the mansion and be on standby. If the king is not mistaken, they will come again soon, and this time it will not be like before. I am afraid it will be a hard battle."
The same order was also performed at the same time in Prince An's Mansion, Prince Jin's Mansion and Prince Wu's Mansion. Dai Wang dared to kill the king and usurp the throne. Although he didn't know what happened, he was allowed to make such a gesture. But if he wants to eliminate his worries, no one will compete with him. Therefore, whose life the king wants most now must be these princes who are also brothers.
As expected, several groups of troops soon attacked the major palaces, among which the Jin Palace was the most violently attacked.
Fortunately, Prince Jin's Mansion was not completely unprepared. The opponent was intercepted from the street outside without even touching the door of Prince Jin's Mansion.
Rongxiyuan, the sound of killing outside reached here, and it was already extremely weak.
The courtyard was very quiet. Although the servants could not hide their fear, they still did what they should do as usual.
In the main room, Erbao looked carefree and innocent, and asked Yao Niang: "Mom, why is it so noisy outside?"
"Someone is getting married outside, and weddings are always noisy."
"What is marriage?"
"Marrying means marrying a wife."
"What is marrying a wife? Is it like the eldest brother and sister Yueyue, where sister Yueyue is the eldest brother's little wife?"
Yao Niang laughed and rubbed Er Bao's head and asked, "You little naughty boy, who did you hear that?"
"I heard what Brother Xuan said. He said that Sister Yueyue was the daughter-in-law appointed by the emperor's grandfather for my eldest brother."
Hearing this, Xiaobao no longer had to worry about the situation outside, and hurriedly said: "Don't listen to him, he always talks a lot of nonsense."
"Isn't Sister Yueyue my eldest brother's little wife? In that case, can Sister Yueyue be my little wife?"
"What do you say? Do you want to be beaten? Are you all the age of Yueyue, how old are you?
"But Sister Yueyue is also older than my eldest brother. I heard what Brother Yan said..."
The two little children over there were bickering in childlike voices, and Yao Niang was worried about things outside again. She looked at the gloomy sky outside and sighed heavily.
"Empress, don't worry, nothing will happen." Yu Chan comforted her.
"But..." Yao Niang sighed deeply, and then said: "I don't know what's going on with my parents and the rest of the family and Prince Qing's Mansion?"
"His Royal Highness Prince Qing is not in the palace. This is also a safe place for Prince Qing's Palace. The rebels should not attack Prince Qing's Palace. As for the old man and others, they live in a remote place and the rebels will not attack there. ."
"That's best."
Xiaobao, who was teaching his younger brother a lesson, glanced at the worried Yao Niang and felt heavy in his heart.
His parents didn't want him to know, so he just pretended not to know. Little did he know that with such a commotion outside, something must have happened in the palace. Even if there was trouble in the palace, did something happen to the imperial grandfather?
Whenever he thinks of this, Xiaobao's heart trembles. This is the first time in his two lives that he has been so panicked. But he also thought of what King Jin had said before about luring the snake out of its hole. His father said this, which showed that he was confident. Even so, nothing would happen to the emperor's grandfather, right?
At this moment, Fucheng walked in quickly.
"Madam, the prince and his people rescued several old and weak women and children. There was no place to resettle them, so they brought them back and asked your servants to clean up a few yards and settle them temporarily."
"Which house is it from? Don't worry about coming? Are there any taboos?"
Fucheng replied one by one that since the person who could allow King Jin to come forward to help must have a certain reason, otherwise he would not let Yao Niang make arrangements.
"I understand, I will tell the following to do it."
*
As time passed, more and more people lived in Prince Jin's Mansion.
Among them were people from nearby families who came to seek refuge, and some who were rescued by King Jin. Several guest courtyards were full of people, so Yao Niang could only think of moving some more places to accommodate them.
Yao Niang even made a trip in person. Only through the mouths of these people did she know what was going on outside.
It turns out that the inner and outer cities were in chaos at this time. After being stimulated by the resistance, the rebels changed their earlier attitude and killed people at every turn.
The streets are full of people, and they are all desperate. Some of these people are rebels, and some are people who are encircling and suppressing the rebels. Some bandits took the opportunity to cause trouble, causing some innocent people to be implicated. Whenever a house door was opened by them, almost every house suffered heavy casualties. Not only did they arrest the men in the house, but immediately afterward, bandits broke in. Innocent women and children were injured one after another, and their belongings were robbed.
Because of this, I originally planned to stay at home and let the guards block me for a while, so I couldn't help but start looking for a way out.
Some neighboring houses work together to resist together. Others seek shelter from high-profile mansions. On the nearby streets, Prince Jin's Mansion was undoubtedly the only pure land. Although rebels kept attacking, they retreated one by one.
The Jin Palace also has the most sufficient troops. Even with the Jin Palace as the center and gradually expanding outward, countless people will come to defect.
In fact, there are more people settled outside, and those who can enter the mansion are all the female dependents and children of the noble families of the courtiers.
In fact, this is indeed the case. As early as when the rebels were looting, other small groups of troops appeared in various places in Beijing to confront the rebels.
These are all people summoned by Ningguo Gongfu. Like the people who acted for the king, these people come from mixed sources and come from all over the country, but they are all loyal to the king of Jin. The King of Jin used these troops as reinforcements to attack each other one by one, and then gathered them into a large force.
As the news of the rebellion against the king spread, more and more people took the initiative to join in the extermination of the rebels.
The soldiers of Daqian are loyal to Daqian. Anyone who attempts to usurp the throne will be punished by everyone. This is why Mr. Chen Ge would say that King Dai risked the disapproval of the world and stood on the opposite side of righteousness, and was destined to be in trouble.
"Your Highness, Sun Meng is here."
Sure enough, a black crowd of soldiers suddenly appeared on the street opposite, about thousands of them, infantry mixed with cavalry galloping towards them.
The rebels who faced off against the Jin Prince's men were quickly killed one by one under attack from both sides. Some cowardly people also took the initiative to drop their weapons and kneel down to beg for mercy.
"That's all you have?" King Jin raised his eyebrows.
Sun Meng, who rode up to the front, smiled bitterly: "The matter is urgent and there is no time to call. Moreover, in this case, it is still unknown who can and who cannot be used. The methods of the Zhonggong group are very powerful. I already have two people under my command. Every household has been instigated to rebel."
"In this carriage?" King Jin focused his eyes on the heavily guarded carriage.
"My wife, children, and young children. I am away from home, and I really don't want to leave it at home, so I entrust it to your mansion for the time being. I believe that His Highness the King of Jin can use his means to ensure safety."
"You have given me one high hat after another, what else can I say?"
Sun Meng smiled. It was not that he was careless, but that he could not afford to neglect or delay.
"I will contact my subordinates right now, but the real information about the Zhonggong lineage has not been revealed yet, so you must be mentally prepared." This code naturally refers to the strength of the five military battalions controlled by the Duke of Wei.
The Third Jing Battalion is the main force that defends the important areas of the capital, and is divided into the Three Thousand Battalion, the Fifth Military Battalion and the Shenji Battalion. The three thousand battalions are all infantry, and infantry is not conducive to street fighting. The Shenji Camp is directly under the present. Without the Holy Sage's oral instructions and tiger talismans, no one can move it. The fifth military camp is mostly composed of infantry, and is divided into a central army, with tucks on the left and right, and sentries on the left and right.
The fifth military camp is the collective name, and it is also the largest among the three battalions in Beijing. The troops from Shandong, Henan, and Daning are often divided into divisions, and they come to Beijing in turn for training. At the same time, they also recruit troops from abroad. Therefore, there are generally not many troops stationed in Beijing, but there are still 20,000 troops stationed outside the city all year round.
The people from the fifth military camp have not entered the city yet. If they do, they will not be their opponent at all with the troops currently in the hands of King Jin.
"So I hope Brother Sun will try his best to win over his subordinates. If the Jingwei Commander-in-Chief Division can send out another 10,000 troops, it will not be impossible to fight with them."
The king of Jin was never afraid of the two armies fighting, and it was not like he had never fought with a small number to defeat a large number. Wars are fought with people as well as strategies. It's nothing more than this.
And attack the heart——
The King of Jin cast his calm eyes towards the location of the Forbidden City.
The man who was not standing upright must have been anxious, otherwise he would not have resorted to such a desperate trick. The King of Jin was actually not panicked. With the troops in his hands, he would be able to protect himself without any worries, but his father——
Is Father really dead? Or something happened? Based on King Jin's understanding of Emperor Hongjing, it was impossible for him to let it go so far, so something must have happened.
"Let's go first, I'll try my best."
Sun Meng left these words and left with a small force. And all the people he left behind came under the command of the King of Jin and were dispatched by him.
I hope something happened, not...
*
A great chaos broke out in the capital, and the Five Cities Army and Shuntian Prefecture were also in chaos.
We were all colleagues at first, but suddenly some became rebels and some became rebels. Our own people were fighting in a group, and some who had no interests, such as Su Yucheng and Yao Cheng, all went home and did not dare to get involved.
The entire Xiatangzi Hutong was silent. Every household had its doors locked. Even those with babies at home did not dare to make unnecessary noises.
Fortunately, the people living here are ordinary people, and no rebels will come here, which has allowed the people here to avoid many disasters. Even if the bandits want to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, here are all wealthy families among the common people. The walls of every house are high and the gates are tight, so they can't break in.
Su Yucheng and Yao Cheng also secretly went out once or twice in the past two days, knowing that the palace had rebelled on behalf of the king. This king is an incredible person. He killed his own father, and now he wants to kill his own brothers. He wishes he could kill the entire family and leave him alone, so that he can ascend to the throne.
Which of the common people does not scold or hate, but scold and hate, ordinary people will not rush to the streets to fight against the rebels. This is not their job.
This is the living condition of common people like them. When they encounter corrupt officials, they will scold them. When they should be timid, they will still be timid. When they should be afraid, they will still be afraid. As time goes on, whoever becomes the emperor has nothing to do with them. relationship.
But it is related to the Yao and Su families. Su Yaoniang was working as a concubine in the palace. Now the king wants to eat several brothers alive. I don’t know what is happening in the Jin Palace now.
Ms. Wu cried when she thought about it, worrying about her daughter's safety. Madam Hui was also worried.
Su Yucheng said he wanted to visit Prince Jin's Mansion, but was stopped by his family. There is only one male in the Su family. What should Su Yucheng do if something happens? If something really happened in Prince Jin's Mansion, Su Yucheng wouldn't be able to help.
"My sister is not favored in the house. Who knows if someone will take advantage of the chaos to deal with her. I'm really worried. I have to go and see what's going on. I just have to be smarter."
Seeing that they couldn't stop Su Yucheng, Yao and Cheng told him the truth, saying that Yao Niang was not a concubine at all. Now she was the princess of Jin. If something happened to the entire Jin Palace, it would not be her turn. Something happened.
Not to mention how surprised the Su family was, Su Yucheng insisted on going to see it later.
"If it were a princess, I would go and see it. The king wanted to kill all the princes. If it was a concubine, no one would care about it. But if she became a princess, she would definitely become the biggest target. Listen. People say that King Jin is leading his men to fight against the rebels. It is unknown whether there are any guards in the mansion. If it is true that Yaoyao is trapped in the mansion alone with two babies, and if there is another chaos in the mansion, no one will protect the two girls. How many can we do?
"Besides, I just went to take a look. I have clothes from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division. Now the rebels and friendly forces outside are wearing these clothes. I'll be smarter and avoid them all the way. I shouldn't get out of here. What's going on?"
This is how Su Yucheng and Yao Cheng dressed up in disguise during the two previous trips they went out. Not to mention, these clothes are really effective. They can cover up the rebels and say they are accomplices, and the friendly soldiers and say they are the same.
Ms. Wu still refused to let her go and grabbed her son's clothes to keep them. But after hearing what her son said, she felt worried about her daughter and burst into tears.
Seeing this, Yao Cheng could only say: "That's all, I'll go with my uncle. You guys close the door at home and nothing will happen. Let's go back quickly and we'll be back soon. ."
Now that the matter was settled, the two of them dressed up and got ready to go out.
Lancao didn't want the man to go out, but she knew that this kind of thing could not be dissuaded. If nothing happens, that's fine, but if something happens, it will be a lifelong estrangement.
"Go back quickly. Don't forget that my parents and I and our three children are waiting for you at home."
Su Yucheng nodded, and after Hui Niang took Yao Cheng over to explain, the two of them quietly went out.
We walked smoothly all the way without encountering any accidents.
Nowadays, there are no ordinary people on the street. Some bandits and robbers take the opportunity to cause trouble. They can only avoid them when they see their clothes. They only need to avoid the people fighting.
There were corpses everywhere, and it was a mess that made people tremble at the sight. The trip from the outer city to the inner city has made the two of them regret their trip infinitely. The only thing that can hold on is the last breath of anger in their hearts.
"Head, two suspicious people were found here."
Su Yucheng and Yao Cheng were surrounded by a group of people before they could react. These people were dressed messily, but without exception, they all had a piece of red cloth tied around their necks. This was the only sign to identify whether they were rebels. Su Yucheng and Yao Cheng also carried a piece of red cloth with them in case of emergency.
"We are not enemies, we also have this." Yao Cheng said hurriedly.
The two people hurriedly took out a piece of red cloth from their arms, causing the whole room to burst into laughter. This smile was not only a mockery of the two men as cowards, but also a mockery of the rebels who disguised themselves as one of them in order to save their lives. Who doesn't know today that no rebel army walks alone, and even if it does, there must be someone not far away to take care of it.
Through this method, they identified many fake people and captured many rebels without any effort.
At first glance, these two people looked like lone rebels!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Su Yucheng remembered that the leader of the army to suppress the rebellion was His Highness the King of Jin, and regardless of whether he had any face or not, he hurriedly told his origins, saying that he was really worried about his sister, who was a princess, so he took advantage of the chaos. Out of town.
Although the general had doubts, Su Yucheng and Su Yucheng were confident in their words, so they were escorted to the King of Jin.
When they arrived in front of King Jin, they naturally came to Yao Niang. Looking at her uneasy brother and brother-in-law, Yao Niang sighed helplessly and moved.
"Mom, dad, sister, brother Ming, are they all okay?"
Su Yucheng was a little hesitant and rubbed his hands: "Everything is fine, I'm just worried about you." It was obvious that his sister was still the same sister, but because her identity suddenly changed, he was at a loss, and naturally he didn't know how to question her. , why you deceived your family in the first place.
In fact, now, Su Yucheng can also understand what his sister means. If he hadn't really failed to live up to his expectations, why would his sister have gone to such trouble.
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. My brother and brother-in-law will stay in the palace first. His Highness has already ordered people to pick up my parents and sister. They should have gone long ago to avoid being taken advantage of. I didn’t expect that my brother and brother-in-law would come by themselves."
Not to mention here, on the other side, the people from the Jin Palace had just taken people away from the Yao and Su families, and a group of people came here.
In fact, it was only a matter of time before the rebels found the Yao and Su families, but they didn't care at first and didn't bother to use such despicable methods. But when a person is in a desperate situation and a dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, there is nothing he can't do.

Qianqing Palace.
"Trash, you are all a bunch of trash! There are so many people who can't hold a small palace."
A general who knelt on one knee in front of King Dai explained: "Your Highness, it's not that the general and others are incompetent, it's just that I didn't expect that the other party had so many troops. They are hiding in the dark and cannot be guarded against, and some The people, even those under our command, suddenly rebelled and used words to confuse people's hearts. Our people were attacked from both sides and had no idea who was the enemy and who was the ally."
"I would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go!"
The general looked bitter. This is easier said than done.
The reputation of treason on behalf of the king has spread throughout the capital, which inevitably shakes the morale of the army. Moreover, when the two armies were facing each other, the other side claimed that before the fight started, 'the rebels cannot last long, and should abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side, so as not to harm the whole clan and be despised by others', and other deceptive words.
The morale of one side is low, and the morale of that side is high. It is obvious that they are fighting against the few, but in the end, their own people are defeated. Some people even dropped their weapons and took the initiative to kill them before the fight started.
When two armies are facing each other, those who retreat without fighting shall be killed according to military law. But killing one person chilled the hearts of others, and the morale was already low. Who would be willing to sacrifice their lives after this?
Dai Wang has led troops, so of course he understands this truth, but now he has been defeated one after another, and his usual calmness has been shattered.
He ordered people to threaten and induce those old immortals, but those old immortals would rather die than obey. The other two edicts had not yet been found, and Xue Hedu, Minister of War, died while being tortured. Now the plan to get the transfer order from the other party failed, so the king could not remain calm.
"Can people from the Fifth Military Camp enter the city?"
"The obstacles at the city gate have been cleared, and the people from the fifth military camp can enter the city immediately."
"Okay, very good. Let them die, all of them, especially the people in the Jin Palace! There is no need to look for the posthumous edict. He is the candidate of my father's choice. Even if there is a posthumous edict after his death, it will have no effect at all. ."
"Yes."
……
There are still more than ten miles away from the capital, and a large number of people are marching in a hurry.
These people are all infantry, with only a few cavalry. However, the infantry is no worse than the cavalry when they march quickly.
They have been marching in a hurry for a long time. The two hours of continuous march made everyone begin to lose their physical strength.
"Stop! Rest where you are."
As the order was given, the order was passed back, and the huge dragon immediately sat on the ground, drinking water when it was necessary, and supplementing food when it was necessary, trying to regain its strength as much as possible in a short period of time.
"We are not far from the capital. Now there are rebels in the capital. Although we are mausoleum guards, we are also soldiers of Daqian. We should protect our family and country and help the country."
"Protect the home and country, and help the country!"
"Protect the home and country, and help the country!"
After a man who looked like a general finished shouting, he came to a general wearing armor.
This general is tall and has a resolute face. He clearly looks young, but his temples are slightly white and his face is full of frost. His expression was a little forlorn, his slightly pursed lips were dry, and his eyes were staring in the direction of the capital, not knowing what he was looking at.
A picture appeared in the general's mind, but it was what happened before he left the capital.
The night was already very late, and he was alone in the huge palace.
He couldn't sleep and had many things on his mind.
The door was suddenly pushed open, and the outstanding man appeared in front of him.
"...My father wants to send you to guard the mausoleum. No matter where you go, you can seriously think about what you are going to do next. If possible, I hope you can capture the Yanshan Mausoleum Guards. One day I may be able to use To..."
……
"Your Highness, please take a break and drink some water."
The general took the water bag, opened it, and poured a swig of water into his mouth to moisten his dry throat.
His voice was a little hoarse: "Don't call me Your Highness, I am not Your Highness now."
The general did not speak, and the two of them quietly stared in the direction of the capital. After a long time, the general suddenly stood up and said, "Let's go, we are still waiting for us in the capital."
Fifth brother, here I come!
This time, it’s time for my brother to repay you!
