Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 38 Forcing the Palace
Wearing armor, Qin Lang led Qin Yong, Ah Huang, Wei Chang, Liu Jiu, Lin San, Zhang Cheng, and Li Kai to the Hongyi Palace through the Hongyi Gate.

The three-layer armor on his body was very heavy, and it was very hot. Qin Lang felt his whole body was sticky with sweat. At this time, what he wanted most was to take off the armor and jump into the river to take a good bath, but the princess had summoned him, so he didn't dare to accept it. Violation.

Pressing the horizontal knife handle of Guisheath with his right hand, he felt a little calmer in his heart.

"Sanlang, are we successful?" Zhang Cheng of the Wuhou team asked Qin Lang in a low voice. He was dragged into the rebel team in a daze in the morning. At that time, he was actually a little unwilling to go into this muddy water, but he couldn't help it.Who would have thought that it would be a success.

"Well, the overall situation has been settled, and the rest is to deal with the aftermath."

Lin San, a ranger from the Northland, couldn't help asking, "Then what reward can we get?"

Qin Lang was actually very excited in his heart, he didn't have time to think about it just now, but now that he finally stopped, he couldn't help thinking about it.Fame and wealth are definitely indispensable.

At least after this battle, the Qin family in Qinrenfang can guarantee wealth for 30 years.

"Official meritorious service, money and land will certainly not be missing." Qin Lang said with a smile.

"Brother Jiu, what are you thinking?" Seeing that Liu Jiu was silent, Lin San asked.

"I'm wondering if Princess Qin is pretty!"

Qin Lang glared at him angrily.

"Qin, can you fulfill what you promised us before?"

"Of course you can. You will be free without losing your wealth."

The eight people followed Du Ruhui to the front of the hall, everyone stopped and tidied up.

In the palace, a group of women and children, and many court ladies.

When Qin Lang heard from Du Ruhui that the person who was wearing fish-scale fine armor, a red turban, and a bow and crossbow around his waist was actually the eldest grandson of Princess Qin, he was very surprised.

In his impression, Princess Changsun will become a generation of virtuous queens in history. Such a woman should be gentle and intellectual, but looking at it now, she looks more like a heroic female general. If someone tells him that this is He will believe in the late Princess Pingyang Zhao.

"You are Shubao's son, Qin Sanlang, right? I brought Chengqian with me and all the women, children, and children of Prince Qin's residence to thank Sanlang." After saying that, Princess Qin saluted him.

"Don't dare to act, dare not act." Qin Lang quickly stepped aside.

Chengqian also came up to thank him, "You retreated the rebel army as soon as you came, so majestic."

Qin Lang looked at this Prince Qin's son, who was only eight years old. He was very cute, with bright eyes and delicate features. waste.

"I don't have prestige, it's just a fox pretending to be a tiger, borrowing the majesty's majesty, the real majesty is the majesty, your father."

On the outskirts of Chang'an, Weishui Daying Camp.

Seeing the beacon fire in Chang'an, Qin Qiong ordered the generals to be summoned.

"The beacon fire in Chang'an must have caused a major emergency. As soldiers of the imperial court, we must rescue. The commander-in-chief Qi Wang is not in the camp, and the king of Yanjun is still far away in Binzhou. From now on, I will take over temporarily. Military affairs. Here is an order from my general, the whole army will pull out the camp and guard Chang'an!"

Several princeling generals objected.

"The situation is unclear now, there is no order from His Majesty and the Central Committee, and we have neither a transfer order nor a military amulet. How can we dare to enter Chang'an?"

"Follow the power in a hurry, and if the responsibility is pursued afterwards, I, Qin Qiong, will bear it alone."

"Since there is no imperial decree and military talisman, please forgive the last general for not being able to follow orders!"

Qin Qiong sneered a few times.

"This is a military camp. I am the supreme commander now. You must follow my military orders, otherwise you will follow the military law."

"Qin Qiong, you are such a powerful official. Who recognizes you as the coach? Do you have the order of the court?"

Qin Qiong slapped the table with a palm, "Come here!"

Suddenly a group of Qin Qiong guards rushed in.

"Those who dare to disobey the military order will be taken down, locked up, and awaiting punishment."

"Qin Qiong, you are so courageous!"

Qin Qiong drew his sword and beheaded the general with one blow.

The head fell to the ground and rolled.

All the generals of the princeling party who were still agitated just now fell silent.

"Lock them up."

"Who has objections?"

Qin Qiong glanced over, but no one dared to look at him and resist.

"Okay, since there are no more objections, then immediately send an order to leave the camp!"

Taiji Palace, on Haichi.

In the dragon boat, the emperor Li Yuan was wrapped in a thin quilt, and sat there in a daze.

At this moment, His Majesty the Nine-Five Supreme Emperor was extremely sad. The majestic emperor, the Ninth-Five Supreme, has now become a prisoner and is under house arrest on this dragon boat, isolated from the outside world.

The person who rebelled against him turned out to be his own son.

In the past, he always looked down on his cousin Yang Guang, thinking that he had lost the Great Sui Dynasty, and was finally usurped and killed by his courtiers, but now it seems that he is not even as good as Yang Guang. May be regicide and patricide by his son.

An emperor who was so downcast that he couldn't even wear a dragon robe, he could only wrap himself in a thin quilt.

After all, I was still too soft-hearted and too indecisive, and I have been unable to be cruel for a long time, which is why today's disaster happened.If I had been able to be more ruthless two years earlier, and had abolished Shimin, I would not be where I am today.

A dragon boat approaches.

Changsun Wuji stood at the bow of the boat.

Hou Junji and Changsun Wuji met eyes and nodded to each other.

The two boats approached slowly.

"I brought a few prime ministers, and they are on the boat. Is Your Majesty okay?"

Hou Junji smiled, "Sitting in the boat has been silent all the time."

"It's good that people are fine, don't worry about other things." Changsun Wuji said.

Pei Ji, Feng Deyi, Yang Gongren, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Yu Wenshi, and a group of prime ministers were 'helped' out of the cabin by the guards of the Qin Palace, and Changsun Wuji cupped his hands, "Your Majesty is in the dragon boat at this moment, please invite the prime ministers to meet you." .”

Pei Ji remained silent, and neither did the other prime ministers.

Today Fang Xuanling led Duan Zhixuan and other generals to raid the imperial city, took advantage of the opening of the imperial city gate, directly entered the imperial city, and then took control of the three provinces, six ministries, nine temples, five supervisors and sixteen guard mansions. They robbed the seals of the three provinces, He also wounded the guards of the prime ministers, and finally controlled them and brought them to the palace by force.

Who can be in a good mood after being frightened for a long time.

In the dragon boat.

The emperor meets with the prime ministers.

Originally, the plan was to have the trial of the King of Qin in the Linhu Palace today, but who would have thought that the King of Qin would bring them all here in the end.

Both Changsun Wuji and Hou Junji withdrew from the dragon boat, and they stayed outside.

Only the emperor and a few prime ministers were left in the dragon boat.

After a long time, Li Yuan spoke.

"You've all seen what happened today. It's a heinous crime. How do you deal with it?"

The prime ministers couldn't help but wry smiles in their hearts. Now that everyone is fish on King Qin's chopping board, what can they do with it.

Pei Ji is Zuo Pushe, the actual head of all the officials, and also the emperor's most trusted courtier. He has already seen clearly and clearly thought through this journey. It was a very obvious palace change, and the initiator was His Royal Highness King Qin.

At this time, Feng Deyi was thinking that King Qin suddenly launched an attack, and both the emperor and Zai Zhi fell under the control of King Qin. Now he doesn't know what happened to the crown prince and King Qi, and the only hope is there.After all, although the king of Qin has been in battle for a long time, the prince has been running Chang'an for a longer time and has stronger influence in the capital.

If the crown prince and the king of Qi lead troops to rescue the king, it is still unknown who will die in the end.

But now the situation is unclear, Feng Deyi didn't want to say these things, if the prince and the others fail, and the king of Qin will sit on the throne in the future, then if he said these things, it would be bad for his future.

Li Yuan couldn't help but said to these old guys, "I believe that Jiancheng and Yuanji will not sit back and watch this rebellious son disobey. They must have already mobilized soldiers and horses to rescue him. Tell me, after the Jingchao, how will I deal with the second son?" ? Flow or kill?"

Li Yuan is really murderous at this moment. In the past, he couldn't bear to kill Shimin, but now if he has a knife in his hand, he would like to chop off the second child himself.

The prime ministers remained silent, and the atmosphere became more and more awkward.

"Are you dumb when you talk?" Li Yuan said angrily.

Chen Shuda stood up and bowed deeply to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the crown prince is usually extravagant and dissipated, rebelling against the law, but now he intends to assassinate the king of Qin and other pillars of the country and shake the great cause of the country. I ask your majesty to issue an imperial edict to seize the throne of Jiancheng. Abandoned as a commoner, and ordered Qin King to be established as a prince with the merits of founding the country!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere became more gloomy.

Even Yuwen Shi and this Qin Wang party were very surprised. Originally, according to his plan with Fang Xuanling just now, he, the Qin Wang party, also went on the dragon boat. He wanted to propose to the emperor at a critical moment, asking the emperor to abdicate and pass the throne to Qin Wang Li Shimin of.

Unexpectedly, Chen Shuda proposed to abolish Jianjian and establish Shimin as the prince.

In this way, it made it difficult for Yuwen Shiji to propose the Zen position directly, so he followed suit and proposed to make Shimin the prince.

Xiao Yu over there was originally a prime minister who was close to Li Shimin, and said at the moment, "Your Majesty, I have always held this proposal, but Your Majesty has always refused. Now it seems that if Your Majesty had followed my proposal earlier, there would be no such thing as today. disaster."

Li Yuan's complexion turned ashen with anger after such an afterthought.

Li Yuan was already furious, but these words made him even more embarrassed, "Xiao Yu, you mean that I didn't accept your proposal, and that's why I'm in trouble today? From my point of view, it's not like you were the one who separated my father and son." Family love, secretly fanning the flames? I, I grant you to commit suicide!"

Li Yuan was so angry that he even said that the Prime Minister would commit suicide.

Feng Deyi looked left and right, and he also understood that Chen Shuda, Yuwen Shiji, and Xiao Yu were all pro-Qin kings, and now they are all clamoring to change Shimin as the prince. , I believe that the country is not in peace, the country is not stable, and not making King Qin the prince is not enough to calm the government and stabilize people's hearts. Your Majesty should make a decisive decision, make King Qin the heir, and entrust the general and general affairs to King Qin, so as to stabilize the world."

"I founded the country with a hundred battles, and I am a hero. How can I let others force me to do things with a knife on my neck?"

Gradually, Li Yuan faced the persuasion of the six prime ministers to change the reserve by himself. His voice became louder and louder, but he still refused to listen to the persuasion.

The boat shook violently, and the monarchs and ministers shut up.

I saw another dragon boat approaching, and a warrior in iron armor and holding a horse jumped out of the boat.

This person has a full beard and a dark complexion, but he is Yuchi Jingde, the fierce general of Qin Palace.

"Yuchi Jingde, how dare you commit a crime?"

"Long live Your Majesty, please forgive me for the inconvenient salute due to the armor. Prince Jian Jiancheng and King Qi Yuanji plotted against him. They have now been put to death at Xuanwu Gate. The King of Qin sent special ministers to protect His Majesty and the ministers."

Yuchi Jingde stood there and yelled loudly, but there were still wet blood stains on his body, which made Li Yuan's face ashen.

"You mean Jiancheng and Yuanji?"

"They have all been put to death, and now the East Palace and Qi Mansion rebels are fleeing in Beijing, please send down your majesty's order!"

"Decree, what is the decree?" Li Yuan roared, "Jiangcheng, the benevolence of a father and a wife will eventually harm you!"

Li Yuan cried loudly and ignored Yuchi Jingde at all.

Seeing this, Chen Shuda had no choice but to say, "Yu Chigong, you should immediately pass on the decree to the King of Qin. The crown prince Jian Jian, Yuan Ji, who was extravagant and promiscuous, has always been lawless. Now he is plotting rebellion. If he does, he will abolish the common people and hand over to the King of Qin for punishment."

"Admiral Tiance, Taiwei, Situ, Shangshuling, Zhongshuling, and Qin Wang Li Shimin are the crown princes, and they will immediately enter the East Palace to supervise the country and regent. From now on, all military affairs and state affairs, the princes of the three provincial committees, will come here. "

After Chen Shuda finished speaking, he turned his head to the left servant of the Shangshu and shot Pei Ji, "What do you think, Prime Minister Pei?"

Pei Ji is also completely despondent now, knowing that the overall situation has been settled and no one can stop King Qin from seizing power, so he can only nod his head with difficulty.

Chen Shuda asked the other prime ministers separately, and Feng Deyi and Yang Gongren had no objection, but Xiao Yu, Yuwen Shi and of course were more in favor.

That's the way it is, and that's the only way it can be.

If the emperor is allowed to continue to entangle, maybe the emperor may die suddenly today, and they, the prime ministers who used to stand on the prince's side, may not be able to get off this dragon boat.

In the Linhu Palace, Li Shimin, who had been pacing and circling, finally waited for Yu Chigong who had returned from the Face Saint.

Originally, he was supposed to go to the Dragon Boat Festival in person, but he still couldn't face his father in the end.

"How about it?"

"Your Majesty is no longer able to manage affairs. After discussion among the ministers, Jian Jian was abolished and became a commoner. His Highness is planned to be the crown prince. He will immediately enter the East Palace to oversee the country and regent. He will be the prince of all military and state affairs and the three provincial committees."

Hearing this result, Li Shimin heaved a sigh of relief.

"Is Your Majesty all right?"

"Your Majesty is crying." Yuchi Jingde replied.

Li Shimin looked complicated, but he quickly dismissed those thoughts.

"Immediately ask Prime Minister Yuwen Shiji to come out to the various government offices in the imperial city to announce the edict, let Feng Deyi go to the East Palace to appease the Jiancheng old department, and let Yang Gongren go to the Qi mansion to appease the Yuanji old department."

After a pause, Li Shimin said again, "Ren Yuwenshi and his sons are Prince Zhan, Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui are the prince's left concubine sons, Fang Xuanling and Gao Shilian are the prince's right concubine sons."

"Let Yu Chigong be the prince's left guard, and Cheng Yaojin be the prince's right guard."

After thinking about it, "Make Qin Qiong the general of the left guard, and immediately lead the Weishui battalion to garrison outside Chang'an City."

"Use Hou Junji as General Zuo Wuhou, and assist Zuo Wuhou General Liu Hongji to be in charge of patrolling the Chang'an imperial city and outer city."
