Chapter 1138 Mingyue's Revenge
Late at night, the lights in the Governor's Mansion were still brightly lit. With such a big thing happening in Jinei, Prince Gao Yin did not return to the East Palace. Instead, he took a short rest in a palace in the nearby North Palace and ordered his subordinates to report the incident immediately.
Today, Yedu still has more than 20,000 Forbidden Army soldiers, all of whom are under the control and dispatch of the Governor-General of the Supervisory State. After being reminded by King Changshan and others, Prince Gao Yin also ordered to summon all the soldiers of the Forbidden Army. Except for some who were originally appointed as direct guards and guarding the palace, the rest of the soldiers were gathered and stationed in the palace. We reached Santai in the northwest corner of Miyagi City.
Previously, the leader of Qi, Gao Yang, ordered Santai to be rebuilt. However, due to another war with the Western Wei Dynasty, the work was stopped as a last resort to save Shili, leaving Santai still surrounded by a relatively messy large construction site.
However, since Santaitai is basically quite high, it is the commanding height overlooking the whole city. The garrison here also combines military tactics. No matter where a war breaks out in the city, these Forbidden Army soldiers can immediately detect it and quickly and accurately invest in the city. Set chaos.
Prince Gao Rui of Zhaojun was appointed by Prince Gao Yin to temporarily control the Forbidden Army, while Prince Hu Luguang of Xianyang acted as his deputy. When the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army were not serving as guards, they usually lived together in the city and in the military city outside the city. Now that they were suddenly ordered to assemble, they were somewhat in a hurry.
Under Hu Luguang's arrangement and dispatch, the chaos did not last too long. It only took more than an hour for the Imperial Guard troops to be stationed around Santai. Gao Rui also benefited from Hu Luguang's help. And save a lot of energy and time.
As the soldiers of the army were assembled, Gao Rui ordered that the tokens of the generals of the Forbidden Army be collected to prevent them from arbitrarily mobilizing troops to coordinate with the soldiers outside the city. At the same time, he also ordered people to report the progress of the work here to the Superintendent of the Kingdom. He made a report to the government, while he himself stayed in the big tent to governor the troops, and Hu Luguang and others were also on standby in the tent.
Less than half an hour passed quickly, and suddenly envoy Gao Yuanhai, who was also in charge of the Imperial Army, came to say that there was an emergency and he needed to interview Prince Zhao.
After hearing this, Gao Rui did not doubt that he was there. When the envoys entered the camp and recruited Gao Yuanhai, there were more than a dozen personal guards who came with Gao Yuanhai, but they were all blocked from the big tent, and only Gao Yuanhai was allowed to enter. .
"Your Majesty, please temporarily withdraw the rest of the people in the tent. Important matters will be revealed soon. Since the matter involves the Supreme Lord of Liaoyang, I cannot allow anyone to hear about it. Please forgive me."
After Gao Yuanhai entered the tent to see the gift, he made a surprising statement and apologized to Hu Luguang and others.
Before Gao Rui could speak, Hu Luguang stood up consciously. Apart from Gao Rui, he had the highest status in the tent. Seeing him like this, everyone else also avoided the table and stood up.
"You all should quit for now."
Hu Luguang not only walked outside the tent by himself, but there were also several waiters and guards standing beside the tent. At this moment, Gao Rui was suspicious because of what Gao Yuanhai said, and he had no time to care about it. He only thought in his heart that something bad had really happened in Liaoyang? But how did Gao Yuanhai know in advance?
The wind in Gao Yuan's Haikou was so severe that the people in the tent would not speak lightly before they all left.
After Hu Luguang came out of the tent, he waved away some armored soldiers who were on standby outside the tent. These armored soldiers did not doubt that he was there, so they retreated slightly, leaving only the guards brought by Gao Yuanhai and the guards brought by Hu Luguang himself. His confidants stayed near the big tent.
"What do you think the important thing in Liaoyang that Gao Lingjun said should be?"
Hu Luguang raised his hand to signal the generals who were accompanying him out of the tent to move aside, and whispered in his mouth.
After hearing this, everyone shook their heads. This topic was too sensitive and they didn't even dare to guess. However, when Hu Luguang took the initiative to talk about it, they asked curiously: "What do you think the king is talking about?"
Hu Luguang just sighed and said nothing more. He was only responsible for temporarily diverting everyone's attention, but he was not responsible for solving their doubts.
Gao Rui in the tent was also extremely curious. After the others had all retreated, he looked at Gao Yuanhai and asked quickly: "What important thing happened in Liaoyang? And what does it have to do with the Supreme Being? Where did you know about it?" "
"The Supreme Being is suffering from illness and can no longer see things. The family, country and country will soon be left without an owner. Isn't this an important matter?"
Gao Yuanhai looked at Gao Rui and said in a deep voice.
After hearing this, Gao Rui's expression suddenly changed. He stood up from the table, pointed at Gao Yuanhai and said, "Don't talk nonsense! Neither the prince nor the imperial court know anything about this matter. Where did you hear evil talk? Do not spread it anywhere." It’s disturbing our military morale!”
"There are internal and external troubles, and the country will not be able to conquer the country. Even if we can hide it from the people in the country, how can we hide it from the powerful enemies outside the country? Your Majesty, please do not deceive yourself and others, it is better to think early and plan later!"
Gao Yuanhai still said in a deep voice, but Gao Rui had already drawn his sword, pointed at him and shouted: "How dare you speak nonsense in my account! If you continue to speak nonsense, don't blame the sword for not sparing you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, more sergeants filed in from outside. However, the ones who entered were not Gao Rui's subordinates, but the dozen or so soldiers brought by Gao Yuanhai and the confidants left by Hu Luguang.
"Please calm down, Your Majesty, and don't harm your peace because of this! I really have no intention of harming Your Majesty. However, now that Your Majesty is seriously ill and dying in Liaoyang, it is difficult for him to keep his eyes open. In addition, the army has been defeated and the Qiang have returned. The thieves are still in charge of the country, and the prince is weak and unable to take on important responsibilities. The future of the family and country is at stake, so we should choose another wise man to take charge of the country's affairs!"
As his companions poured in to control the situation, Gao Yuanhai became more and more arrogant. He pointed at Gao Rui and said unceremoniously: "Please, Your Majesty, please stop persisting in vain and ignore the dangers of your family and country just to fulfill your own name of foolish loyalty." , Be an enemy of the world. As long as you stay in the tent, you will be able to work together after this night. It is just a crime of coercion. If you resist now, you will be dead!"
"Bold, you are really bold! Do you want to murder the prince? Could it be that the King of Xianyang is also..."
Hearing this, Gao Rui's face suddenly became uncertain. The sword he raised in his hand slowly lowered, while he still asked questions in his mouth.
"The King of Xianyang is very loyal and loyal, and he also puts the overall situation first in his actions today. Because he knows that the Qiang thieves are powerful and cannot be matched by the young master, so he cooperates with this plan. If the king is willing to work together, someone will naturally welcome him. If he is not willing to work with him, he will only Wait for things to come true, and others will be grateful."
When Gao Yuanhai said this, he said sternly: "As long as the king is willing to cooperate, there will be no casualties tonight! The prince is just a weak man who cannot rule the country. What crime does he have? Someone is going to Liaoyang to welcome him back to the Supreme Palace. It’s just that someone needs to be able to do this!”
As he spoke, he motioned to several soldiers to step forward slowly, and Gao Rui's expression was also changing rapidly. It could be seen that he was also fighting fiercely and weighing repeatedly in his heart. After a while, he put the knife in his hand firmly. On the ground, angrily said: "You claim to be loyal to the country, but I'm afraid that after today you will become a disaster to the clan!"
Although his tone is very fierce, at a time like this, the key is not to see what he says, but to see what he does. Seeing that the man put aside his sword and gave up resistance, Gao Yuanhai clasped his fists and said, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your cooperation, but if everyone in the court can distinguish right from wrong like Your Majesty, it will be difficult to fail in certain matters."
As he spoke, he ordered the soldiers to come forward and collect all the talisman tokens for dispatching the troops. Gao Rui turned around, clasped his hands behind his back, and ignored these people angrily.
After taking control of Gao Rui and confiscating the military talismans, Gao Yuanhai and others did not go elsewhere, but directly ordered people to send the relevant talismans to Hu Luguang.
It's not that he turned a blind eye to the power at his fingertips, but that he didn't have the prestige of Hu Luguang to immediately replace Gao Rui and dispatch the troops. And compared with running around the city and performing dangerous tasks, it is undoubtedly safer to stay in the big tent and guard Gao Rui. The previous dangerous entry into the account has already overdrawn a lot of his courage. Now he just wants to spend the night safely. , waiting to share and taste the fruits of victory tomorrow.
Hu Luguang was very excited after getting the order to mobilize troops. At this time, he had led the generals to a side tent in the camp, and ordered them to wait here and not leave easily, while he moved to the main tent.
Then Hu Luguang sent Henan King Gao Xiaoyu to lead a group of armored soldiers to Beigong to control the prince and the governor's people in the name of assisting in defense and reinforcements. He also led a group of soldiers to the imperial city with his younger brother Hu Luguang. , controlled a number of foreign court officials, including Shangshu Sheng, and responded to them.
Originally, according to the plan, King Changshan should go out of the city to control the various camps and armies that night, while King Gao Zhan of Changguang was responsible for capturing the forbidden troops in the city.
As a result, before the incident happened, King Changguang retreated from the battle. Pretending to predict his recent bad luck and fearing failure, he chose to stay at home and wait for news, so Hu Luguang stepped in temporarily. Fortunately, the Supervisory Governor's Office had no experience in presiding over the overall situation and dealing with unexpected changes, so things were able to develop on the right track as expected.
Hu Luguang had just finished allocating tasks here when another group of soldiers rode in from the east. The leader shouted loudly: "Where is the King of Zhao County? Quick, quick, gather the troops. The rebels entered the city to cause chaos. Mr. Yang received the order." Trapped in the official warehouse at Qiumen in the south city, quickly send troops to rescue!"
While they were talking, the team had already marched into the camp, and the leader of the group was Ke Zhu Hunyuan's younger brother Ke Zhu Huntianhe. Because he served as the crown prince's eunuch, he was also left to directly supervise the governor's office after the accident tonight. On standby, after learning that Yang Min's subordinates were in emergency, they hurried to Santai to dispatch reinforcements.
When Zhu Huntian and Zhu Luguang entered the camp and saw Hu Luguang, they were slightly startled at first, and then said quickly: "Notify Prince Zhao quickly that the situation is urgent and cannot be delayed!"
However, after hearing this, Hu Luguang just sneered and said: "Even if there is an urgent military report, Zhu Hun cannot ride his horse into the camp and disrupt our camp! Get off the horse quickly and be captured!"
As he spoke, he waved his hands to order the sergeants around him to come forward to surround Zhu Huntian and his party. But Zhu Huntian and his party were shocked when they saw this, and said angrily: "Hu Lu Mingyue, how dare you ignore the danger? To avenge a private vendetta?"
Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately reined in his horse and turned to the rear, preparing to escape temporarily. However, how could Hu Luguang allow him to escape under his nose? He grabbed his subordinate's bow, fully pulled the string, and shot an arrow. The arrow hit Zhu Huntianhe directly in the heart, but Zhu Huntianhe immediately fell off his horse and died on the spot.
"You must quickly abandon your weapons and be captured, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!"
After killing Ke Zhuhuntianhe with an arrow, Hu Luguang released a sigh of relief that had been pent up in his chest for several years, and then pointed at Ke Zhuhuntianhe's followers and shouted loudly.
