Chapter 717: Unkind
A ray of light pierced the silent night sky, and flames erupted outside the east gate of the imperial city, and the mighty generals entered. Dozens of guards guarding the palace city tried their best to stop them, but they were trampled by the mighty golden armored guards in a snap of their fingers. underfoot.
"Emperor Mingzhen is weak and incompetent, allowing the empress dowager and the two old witches to control the government and bring chaos to the government. The soldiers, follow the old Nandu king to kill the generals immediately, and the Qing emperor will revive the government."
The leader, Yang Runchen, was wearing golden armor and holding a bright sword. Under the light of the fire, his majestic and solemn aura immediately inspired the ambitions of the soldiers.
Seeing this majestic army, Lin Tingkai, the king of the southern capital who had been sluggish for a long time, was completely awakened. He pulled out the long sword at his waist, pointed directly at the gate of the inner palace, and shouted: "Follow this king into the palace, and be the first to enter!" Those in the Rongde Palace will be rewarded with a thousand gold and sealed ten thousand queens."
All of a sudden, the crowd was excited, and the loud and clear shouts of killing shook the sky, and they went deep into the inner palace one after another.
The guards in charge of patrolling heard the shouts of killing outside the Dongxiang Gate, and immediately sent reinforcements from all directions, but facing such a ferocious enemy army, there was no room for resistance at all, and the knife was already splattered with blood before it was sheathed.
Those fearful palace eunuchs simply mixed in with the rebel crowd and ran towards the inner palace together.
The rebel army was in full swing, breaking through five gates in a row, and was about to enter the inner palace, but met Ji Cen'an, the commander of the imperial army guarding the inner palace.
The cold wind was howling, and Ji Cen'an was wearing silver armor, holding his sword tightly in both hands, standing on the steps, staring at the swarming rebels, and shouting sharply: "I have this general here, so don't you think about stepping up to the jade?" Half a step."
"He who understands the current affairs is a hero, why should Concubine Ji be the ghost of this sword."
Lin Tingkai looked at him proudly and said, "Today, the king is determined to win this imperial palace. As long as Concubine Ji is willing to surrender to this king, this king will definitely protect your Ji family's eternal wealth."
"Don't even think about it."
Facing the disparity between the enemy and our troops, Ji Cen'an showed no fear on his face, and smiled calmly: "They are just a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and they dare to speak wild words."
After the words fell, he directed the guards to kill the general.
"Looking for death."
Pang Yuan, the general of Zhonglang, had long been dissatisfied with the son-in-law who relied on Princess Shu for his position, and personally led the left-wing sergeants to face him.
In front of the gate of the inner palace, the sound of swords and swords collided together, completely breaking the tranquility of the night.
Chu Nanzhi got the news from Dongxiangmen, and led Sang Qi straight to Chaoguangmen.
After waiting there for a while, I saw several black horses galloping over in a hurry.
"There is a change in the palace, immediately open the city gate and let King Qinghe go out of the city to ask for help."
A sturdy man in black sat on the front horse. His long beard swayed in the wind, making him look quite charming.
But even though he yelled and broke his throat, when he reached the gate of the city, the guards led by Bender stopped him indifferently.
"Looking for death, His Royal Highness King Qinghe is here, so hurry up and open the city gate."
The bearded man jumped off his horse furiously, and with a "chick", he drew out his saber and pointed it at Bender.
"We are ordered by Princess Shu to be stationed at the Chaoguang Gate. Her Highness the Princess will not come in person. Without a talisman from Her Majesty, no one is allowed to enter or leave this gate without authorization."
Bender replied neither humble nor overbearing.
"How dare you ignore the Qinghe King, believe it or not, labor and management will kill you now."
The bearded man was about to raise his knife in desperation.
"The general is so majestic."
Hearing the angry reprimand, Chu Nanzhi slowly got out of the carriage, went to Debande's side, and glanced at the bearded man with a faint smile.
"Princess Pingning?"
The bearded man was surprised: "Why are you here?"
"Why is the general here, and why is the palace here."
Chu Nanzhi casually reached out and tightened the collar of the brocade robe on his chest, looked at King Qinghe who was following him, and waved calmly: "Brother Wang is so excited, it's cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, why don't you sleep in the middle of the night?" Come out and ride your horse for a night tour."
"Sister and sister, what do you mean? There was a change in the palace, and Jin Shu transferred all the guards outside the city. Do you want to see my mother and queen trapped in the palace with his wife and children?"
Lin Jinke's bushy eyebrows trembled, and he scolded impatiently.
"Even if there is a change in the palace, there should be regulations for escorting the palace. If there is no order from His Majesty, how can others enter the palace at will. Brother Wang is a prince of a foreign vassal, not the commander of the imperial guards. Now he lives in Beijing, which is quite controversial. It's time to avoid suspicion, rashly bringing troops into the palace will only cause unnecessary panic."
Chu Nanzhi's reassuring words made Lin Jinke come to his senses, and slowly shook his head and said, "Sister and sister, you are not being kind, that's not what you said to this king a few days ago, this king keeps his promise, now it's time It's a good time for me to enter the palace to **** you, and you should keep your promise."
"Sister Chen is here to dissuade Brother Wang for the safety of Brother Wang."
Chu Nanzhi said with a slight smile: "I said earlier that the affairs of Tingwei's Mansion are confidential, Your Majesty and the ancestors have already made up their minds, and today's chaos is also expected. If my prediction is correct, Princess Shu has already died at this moment." Bringing troops back to help, but Brother Wang sincerely wanted to enter the palace to rescue him, then should His Majesty and the ancestors treat Brother Wang as a man with ulterior motives or as the Third Emperor's Uncle?"
"What, didn't Jinshu go to the three camps?"
As soon as Lin Jinke finished speaking, a clear female voice suddenly sounded behind him: "It is true that they have gone, but not all of them have gone."
Everyone raised their eyes and saw footsteps coming slowly and continuously in the alley to the west.
It was Lin Jinshu who led the army back to the city.
"I have ordered the three thousand guards from the left, center and right to expand the three battalions, and the right captain of the imperial forest army has also led the rest of the troops into the palace to suppress the rebellion. Presumably the rebels have already been suppressed by this time."
Lin Jinshu jumped off his horse, strode up to Chu Nanzhi, and said with a smile, "Nan Zhi, Brother Wang, follow me into the palace."
"This"
Lin Jinke was unwilling, but Princess Shu had already returned to help. His mother, wife and children were all in the palace. Even if he rushed out of the city at this time, he had no chance of winning, so he cupped his hands resentfully, and shouted to the guards behind him : "Enter the palace to save the driver."
But being put together by two women like this, he felt a thousand kinds of unspeakable pain in his heart.
"Brother Wang, please."
Lin Jinshu sent Chu Nanzhi to the carriage, and signaled Lin Jinke to get on the horse.
Before leaving, he ordered Bender sharply: "According to His Majesty's order, no one is allowed to enter or leave Chaoguang Gate tonight. Anyone who dares to break into the city gate will be killed without mercy."
"The last general takes orders."
Bender and the city guards watched the nobles go away, and they were completely relieved.
The night was getting darker. At this time, the palace was full of blood, bright torches were flickering everywhere, and the busy figures of palace people and guards filled every corner.
The **** smell permeated the air, mixed with cold wind and poured into the compartment, making the pregnant Chu Nanzhi feel sick and want to vomit.
She opened the corner of the car curtain, and saw the corpses and hot blood lying on the bluestone slabs that had not been cleaned up in time, and her heart felt inexplicably sad.
Behind the fight for power are these innocent lives sacrificed. How many parents lost their sons overnight, how many young children lost their fathers, and how many women lost their husbands.
Now she only hopes that the disputes in this chaotic world can end soon, and everyone can live a peaceful and peaceful life.
