Shengpingle

Chapter 213
For a while, Prefect Zhao was frightened and nervous, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Hearing this, he wiped his sweat with his sleeve fiercely, glanced at the tall and straight figure walking in the front, and then replied in a low voice, "General Qian, we have been friends for many years. with.

But having said that, regardless of whether it is true or not that the emperor sent the prince to send troops to help the capital, the imperial decree and jade seal cannot be faked.

We act according to the decree, even if there is an accident, it is the crime of the counterfeiter, and it has nothing to do with us.

Big deal, when the time comes to see that the situation is not right, you can fight back and catch the prince, and you can still win the first prize!
Besides, the little prince is gone, the crown prince is gone, the eldest grandson of the emperor is gone, and the concubine in the East Palace still doesn't know whose seed is in her stomach. The emperor is getting old, and it is absolutely impossible for another dragon son to be born.

In the imperial family of the Great Xiao, there is only Prince Fuguang left after counting. What good can we gain by offending him?
Taking a step back, the prince even got the jade seal and the imperial decree, if the imperial decree is not true, the current situation of the emperor may be—"

I'm afraid it's worrying!
General Qian silently answered, an emperor who has no heirs, who can't even control the imperial decree and jade seal, is the situation just worrying?

Thinking of this, General Qian didn't dare to have any strange thoughts, and hurriedly followed Huo Yanzhi's footsteps.

Mr. Zhao is right, he is only acting according to the imperial order, no matter what the result is, it has nothing to do with him.

……

……

Almost at the same time, Nianyu hurried to Huanqiu, and all the ministers were eager to let him go to the Zhenghe Emperor's Palace.

Su Xianyu stood on the flower wall in the bedroom, when Nian Yu passed by him, he smiled and said, "Su thought that Nian's palm print would never come."

From Huanqiu to the imperial palace, although it is not close, it is not too far away either. According to the decree issued at noon, the Nianyu will not arrive until nightfall.

The reason is very simple. When Nian Yu came to Huanqiu on horseback, he fell off the horse in a hurry. Naturally, he could no longer ride a horse and could only take a car, which was naturally slow.

However, although it was much later, Nianyu finally came.

Nian Yu stared, and said two words in a low voice, "Xiao Mingzhao".

But it was reminding Su Xianyu that if something happened to him, he would expose him for murdering Xiao Mingzhao and blaming Wang Miao'er, and everyone broke up.

Su Xianyu smiled slightly, took two steps back, and made a gesture of respect.

Nian Yu ignored him, and this man was plotting against the government and the emperor a lot, and they were now the common enemy of the enemy.

At least in a short period of time, Su Xianyu will not betray him.

Zheng Hedi has had frequent hair attacks recently, each time getting worse.

The stimulation was too great this time, and Nianyu came late, so he passed out several times due to the pain.

For such a serious situation, Nian Yu used a slightly heavier dose, and the imperial physicians would naturally have no objection.

After Nianyu's diagnosis and treatment, the sharp pain that pierced his brain finally disappeared. Zheng Hedi didn't even have time to think about whether the reason for Nianyu's late arrival was real, so he fell headlong into a dark dream...

……

……

Huo Yan gathered all his troops and rushed to the capital overnight. When the spies of the imperial forest army found out, they had already reached more than [-] li outside the city.

When Huo Yanzhi led the army to the city gate, it was just in time for the first ray of sunshine to pour down at dawn.

The people entering the city have been evacuated, the suspension bridge over the moat has been hoisted high, and the city gates are tightly closed.

The Imperial Forest Army held guns in light armor and stood ready for battle. The commander of the Imperial Forest Army stood on the turret with clairvoyance and commanded in person.

The emergency horn sounded in the capital, and the commander of the Imperial Forest Army shouted in person, "The prince led his troops to approach the capital at night to rebel?"

As soon as he finished shouting, he glanced at Huo Yanzhi and saw General Qian and the garrison of Fengxiang Mansion, and asked in surprise, "Even General Qian turned against King Fuguang?"

Yesterday, the capital was shaken, and there was no news from Huanqiu because of the political and imperial turmoil.

Princess Ninghe invited Mrs. Luo to enter the palace, and detained all the adults in Shangshutai to prevent changes in the palace.

When such news came out, some people would definitely be suspicious, but Princess Ninghe, Taifu Luo, and Old Chief Assistant Meng were all in the palace, and the imperial guards guarded the palace like wolves, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

No matter how suspicious everyone was, they did not dare to force their way in, including the commander of the Imperial Forest Army.

Just now when he received the news, Huo Yanzhi led the army to cover up at night, hurriedly sent someone to send a letter to Huanqiu, and reported it to the palace at the same time.

Huanqiu Road is far away, but there is no movement in the palace until now, he was muttering in his heart, when he saw General Qian, he couldn't help being surprised.

Fengxiang Mansion is the nearest barrier to the capital, General Qian and Prefect Zhao are the emperor's confidantes.

Even General Qian rebelled with the prince, so who else is still loyal to the emperor?
Huo Yanzhi snorted coldly, raised his bow without answering.

Everyone on the city wall remembered the heroic legend of him shooting and killing Qi Gufeng and his son, and they all hid behind the battlements in the same way as everyone in Fengxiang Mansion reacted.

Huo Yanzhi drew his bow fully, but aimed at the suspension bridge.

The commander of the imperial forest army could see it clearly, and couldn't help but sneered, "The slings of the capital's moat are all made of fine iron. My lord, even if you are so good at arrows, you can never shoot them through."

Huo Yanzhi didn't pay any attention to it at all, and released the arrow, but looked in the direction of the wooden boards around the sling.

Everyone suddenly realized that he was going to shoot through the wooden boards near the sling, the sling had no strength, and even if it was made of refined iron, it was useless.

After being taken aback for a moment, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army laughed loudly, "My lord is so smart, but he was mistaken by his cleverness!
What the prince can think of, can't the officials and craftsmen who cast the suspension bridge think of it?
This suspension bridge is made of five layers of birch, nearly half a foot thick, and it is much easier to shoot through than to break the sling—”

"Whoa-"

The words of the commander of the Royal Forest Army stuck in his throat, and he couldn't recover for a long time when he saw the big hole of more than three inches broken in the heavy suspension bridge.

"Wow-wow-wow-wow..."

Huo Yanzhi fired arrows, and the commander of the Yulin Army shouted in shock, "Prefect Zhao, General Qian, and King Fuguang are rebelling!

Do you really want to disregard the emperor's grace, disregard your family and clansmen, disregard the lives and future of the hundred thousand Fengxiang army, and become a traitor with a long history? "

Prefect Zhao and General Qian looked at each other, hesitating for a moment.

Huo Yanzhi said to bring them to kill the rebels, but this situation seems to be that Huo Yanzhi is more like a rebel.

They are now proud of their official careers, and they are deeply favored by the government and the emperor.

He was coerced by the jade seal and imperial decree in Huo Yanzhi's hands yesterday, and with Huo Yanzhi outside the capital, it's not too late to betray him.

If he can capture or kill Huo Yanzhi, he will be able to win the first prize, and the emperor will definitely reward him a lot!
but--

They looked at Huo Yanzhi, who had a serious face and shot arrow after arrow at the suspension bridge, and they felt very scared for no reason.

Although it was only a short night, they had already experienced Huo Yan's ability and ability to command and lead the army.

Even General Qian was not sure, if he really ordered Huo Yanzhi to be captured now, would his soldiers still be obedient?
Seeing their hesitation, the commander of the imperial forest army hurriedly shouted, "Rebellion is the crime of destroying the nine clans! Soldiers, do you really want to be a traitor who bullies the king and treason the country, and ends up in the end of ransacking your family?

General Qian, I advise you to turn back when you are lost!
If you take down King Fuguang immediately, I will definitely speak well for you in front of the emperor, and the emperor will definitely not care about past mistakes, and will reward you heavily! "

General Qian didn't dare to make a decision lightly, and immediately held the principle of delaying time and seeing the situation before he shouted, "You keep saying that the prince rebelled, what evidence do you have?
My Fengxiang Army came to Beijing to arrest Yaofei, as well as the Imperial Forest Army and Guards who followed Yaofei to rebel!How dare you beat him back! "

The commander of the imperial forest army was so angry that he laughed, "Imperial decree? Where did you get the imperial decree?
The emperor had a hair attack because of the emperor's eldest grandson, and he still hasn't woken up yet!What kind of edict do you serve? "

General Qian and Zhao Taishou looked at each other, and Zhao Taishou took out the imperial decree from his arms and held it up.

The city wall is so high, and there is a moat across the city, how can the people on the city wall see that small imperial decree clearly?
The commander of the Imperial Forest Army sneered, "Who is Zhao Taishou trying to fool? We are on the city wall, and we can't see anything clearly, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud "bang" and the suspension bridge fell down.

It was the time they were talking, Huo Yanzhi had already shot through all the wooden planks near the iron cables of the suspension bridge!

This scene was so shocking that the hands of the Imperial Forest Army holding arrows and spears in the city trembled unconsciously.

The commander of the Imperial Forest Army only felt that with the sudden fall of the suspension bridge, half of his army's morale was lost. Huo Yan's arrow skills are like a god, his soldiers are like a god, and he has made great achievements in battle. Who can not be afraid?Who dare not be afraid?

The Fengxiang army under the city subconsciously took a step forward, that is the posture of attacking the city.

Huo Yanzhi, who was standing at the front on his horse, didn't move, and they all retreated back to their original positions silently.

Huo Yanzhi shot down the suspension bridge, but he didn't feel anxious at all. He took the imperial decree from Zhao Taishou, rolled it, tied it with the feather arrow.

Taishou Zhao and General Qian watched his movements, reined in the reins, and silently moved away from him, wanting to know what the prince would do next.

Although the prince will not target them this time, he always feels humiliated.

Sure enough, Huo Yan's old trick was repeated, the feathered arrow pierced the battlements, flew past the commander of the Imperial Forest Army's cheek, and plunged straight into the tall flagpole, causing the commander of the Imperial Forest Army to fall to the ground with no image.

At this time, Mrs. Luo rushed over with Meng Laoshoufu, Cheng Shangshu and others who were trapped in the palace.

The commander of the imperial forest army hurriedly asked, Taifu Luo and others went up to the city wall, and the imperial edict shot by Huo Yanzhi was sent to them.

Mrs. Luo glanced at it, and handed it over to Mr. Meng and his assistants.

The imperial decree was passed by everyone one by one, and everyone was silent.

The great seal is true, the emperor's handwriting is also true, and the imperial decree is true!
No matter how true the imperial decree was, it would definitely be false when they were trapped in the palace by the prince and the prince led troops to the city.

It's just that they don't know what the prince's method of deception is.

When the imperial decree reached the back of the ranks of officials, a clear voice sounded, "Xiu Yuan, come and see if it's true?"

It was Meng Jiang's voice.

The corners of the mouths of Meng Lao Shoufu and Cheng Shangshu twitched at the same time. It was a gesture of cursing, but they barely restrained it.

How did those two brats sneak in without being discovered?

Cheng Xiuyuan mused, "It should be true, the seal is undoubtedly true, and the handwriting is also the emperor's handwriting."

It's just that the four words "as I come in person" should not appear in the hands of the prince no matter how you look at it.

If the emperor had trusted the prince so much, he would not have sent dead men to intercept and kill the prince in the first place, forcing his grandfather to beg to retreat.

"I'll take a look!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming!"

"Have you read all the characters? Can you tell if it's true or not? I'll do it!"

The young and lively voices came one after another, and the officials who arrived at the city wall anxiously touched their foreheads or rubbed their temples. Why did all the dudes from their families also get in here?

Taking a closer look, almost all the dandies who usually run rampant in the capital have come.

Although these dudes have no skills, let alone official titles, they are noble, and almost all of them are extremely favored at home, and most of their fathers and brothers stand on the city wall.

Everyone silently glanced at Hua Pingle, who was standing between Meng Jiang and Cheng Xiuyuan, in a vermilion official robe, and silently looked away.

That's right, Miss Huaer alone has the final say in the palace.

Those idiots in their family usually play very well with her, and they join in the fun, doesn't she respond to everyone?
You don't need to tell a single lie, you can coax these idiots to the city wall!

The commander of the Imperial Forest Army managed to maintain his dignity and shouted, "My lords are here, it is clear at a glance who is rebelling.

Prefect Zhao, General Qian, don't be fooled by traitors again! "

As soon as he said this, Meng Jiang quit first, and cursed loudly, "Who are you calling a traitor? Be careful, I will throw you down the moat!"

The commander of the imperial forest army choked, Meng Jiang was a junior, but he had a very good background, he was wrong when he scolded back, and he was aggrieved if he didn't scold back, his face turned black and red.

At this moment, a sentry rushed over, "Report! Another army has arrived in the direction of Fengxiang Mansion. According to visual estimates, there are at least 10 people, and the distance from the capital is less than [-] miles!"

Everyone looked at each other in horror, Fengxiang Mansion only had [-] defenders, where did this come from?
Almost at the same time, Zhao Taishou and General Qian under the city also received the urgent report, they couldn't help but looked at each other, and at the same time looked at Huo Yanzhi, and asked tentatively, "Look, my lord, this is it?"

Huo Yanzhi said, "Don't be afraid, my own people."

The Wen family helped to fake the Yumenguan iron cavalry as a caravan and sent them to Fengxiang Mansion in batches.

Because Fengxiang Mansion is close to the capital, inspections are strict, and there are no high mountain trails to go around.

No matter how hard Hua Pingle used the name of Wen family and Hua family to operate secretly, it was impossible to send so many people to Fengxiang mansion.

This is also one of the reasons why he must bring the soldiers and horses of Fengxiang Mansion outside the capital.

Prefect Zhao, "..."

General Qian, "..."

It's your lord, but not necessarily ours!

The commander of the imperial forest army was sweating all over his head, and looked anxiously at the old chief minister, "Master chief minister, the emperor is not in the capital, you have an idea!"

Huo Yanzhi had already shot down the suspension bridge, but still stood still, obviously waiting for reinforcements.

Although the soldiers and horses who arrived later did not know which route they belonged to, it was obviously impossible for them to be reinforcements sent by the emperor.

Elder Meng's chief assistant was dumbfounded. How could he make up his mind in this situation?
Meng Jiang dragged Cheng Xiuyuan over and shouted angrily, "What's your idea?
Regardless of whether the prince rebelled or not, now the prince is going to enter the city, you will not let him enter.

Then there are only two choices, either defend or fight, which one do you choose? "

Cheng Shangshu glanced at the anxious grandson, and said calmly, "Shoufu, the emperor's eldest grandson is gone, and there is only the prince left in the royal family besides the emperor."

Old Meng Shoufu sighed heavily. According to him, the prince doesn't need to worry at all. How many years can the emperor live?
After the emperor passed away, even if he didn't want the Xiao family's power, it would fall on him.

Why are you so anxious to do such a thing of leading troops to force the city?

"Master Chief Assistant!"

The commander of the Imperial Forest Army couldn't help shouting again, and Hua Ping clapped his hands happily, "Everyone, watch out, I'll show you a trick!
　Friends, happy Tanabata~
