Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1135 Palace Change

Although these 500 people are all elite fighters, and there are even a dozen or so temple masters among them, they have never fought against the army of the Xiangfu Kingdom, so they have no idea that the four big iron cabinets are the world's best. The scariest weapon ever.At this time, they were still curious. Some even speculated that these items were gifts from Liao envoys or officials from the Ministry of Rituals to bribe the Prime Minister, secretly guessing what kind of treasures would be inside.

Click!The sound of the four organs being opened or fired at the same time sounded like a sound.

The next moment, four pieces of arrow rain, made of fine steel, with a speed and momentum far exceeding that of ordinary crossbows and arrows, shot out from the four large iron cabinets and shot towards Li Mingxuan's five hundred guards at lightning speed.

buzzing...

Amid the sound of piercing the air that permeated the entire space, the faces of the five hundred guards changed drastically, and they either dodged or drew their weapons, but just as they made a move, the steel arrows that were strong enough to pierce the iron armor were already under the strong action of the elastic spring. No matter if they were elite fighters or martial arts masters, they were shot into hedgehogs by steel arrows before they could dodge. Another scary thing about Baifa quick crossbow arrows is that they are within 25 steps. , can directly shoot through the human body and kill the people behind.

As soon as the screams and screams appeared, they stopped abruptly. The five hundred guards all fell down, and none of them survived.

The three of Zhang Dong and Zhou Jie walked out from behind the doors on both sides, looking at the five hundred masters who died in an instant in the garden, their faces were horrified, this was the first time they had seen such a terrifying weapon.On the other side, Shiwa walked out of the five hundred guards of Liao envoy Yu Jianye and said, "Hurry up and change their clothes, clean up the blood and corpses, and pretend to be Li Mingxuan's five hundred guards later."

The 500 people were none other than the [-] masters mobilized by Shiwa and Zhou Jie. At this moment, they agreed and walked towards the [-] corpses. leap.

But the moment the three of them just bounced up, Zhang Dong, Shiwa and Zhou Jie also jumped up, blocking the three of them.After a few breaths, the three first-rate masters who survived by luck but were seriously injured turned into three corpses

These three were actually three first-class masters of the holy hall, and they were among the five hundred guards to protect Li Mingxuan. After being injured just now, they crawled on the ground and pretended to be dead, but they still couldn't escape in the end.

"Since Li Mingxuan is dead, with the current situation of the court, this matter is very easy to handle. And in order to make it easier for the tens of millions of people in the Song Dynasty, especially officials from all walks of life, prefectures, and counties, the following things behind this matter The content must be justified, and some things must be turned into real things in the court. Only in this way can we win the Song Dynasty without bloodshed as much as possible." The Duke Cao's mansion has just received Tang Xingwu, Lian Jicheng, After the news of Shiwa, Zhou Jie and Zhang Dong's success, Cao Bin said to Ye Chen after pondering.

The eyes of Zhang Dong, who just arrived, flashed brightly, while Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Uncle Cao means that in the name of the regent's edict before the death of the late emperor..."

Cao Bin said: "That's right, the old man is in charge of the posthumous edict."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Then please trouble Uncle Cao."

Cao Bin nodded, glanced at the excited Cao Wei and the respectful Zhang Dong beside him, and said, "Also, tonight, in the name of Li Mingxuan, Wang Haijiang, who is in charge of the Imperial City Guards and the palace guards, will be brought out to kill him." Yes. Zhu Yuqing, the deputy commander of the Imperial City Imperial Army, was a small school under the old man's hands. When the time comes, let Master Zhang accompany Wei'er on the trip, and he will listen to me. When the time comes, the Imperial City will be controlled. Afterwards, the old man and Ye Ge'er took them into the palace overnight, and made arrangements for everything to be done at the court meeting tomorrow morning."

……

……

In this era, at the moment of the twelfth, no matter whether it is outside the palace or inside the palace, except for the watchmen and the night patrol officers of Kaifeng Mansion, only the city defense guards on duty in the imperial city have not rested yet.

There are 5000 imperial guards in the imperial city, who control the security and defense of the outer perimeter of the imperial city. They are divided into five shifts to patrol and guard the imperial city every night.

At this time, it was time for the imperial city's imperial guards to take turns.Yawning, a soldier of the imperial army commanding 500 people walked to the main gate of the imperial city in a relatively neat queue, and handed over to a commander of the imperial army who was on duty on the previous shift.

On the tower of the Imperial City, Zhu Yuqing, the Deputy Commander of the Imperial City Guards, glanced at the handover below, and whispered to Zhang Dong and Cao Wei who were sitting next to them drinking tea: "Master Zhang, Mr. Cao, this commander is If my people, if Wang Haijiang is dead, with the help of masters brought by Mr. Zhang, our plan can be carried out. However, I am the second-in-command after all. Even if Wang Haijiang is dead, I can control up to 2000 people. The next 3000 people are estimated to have to kill a lot of people to be able to control it.”

Cao Wei and Zhang Dong nodded. Cao Wei took out a list from his bosom, handed it to Zhu Yuqing and said, "These two commanders and the five people whose head is my father, I will come forward when the time comes. Will cooperate with General Zhu's actions."

Zhang Dong smiled, said the names of the four people, and said: "This commander and the three leaders are my secret agents who have been planted in the Imperial City Imperial Army, so they will naturally listen to me."

Cao Wei said that the seven people were fine, and Zhu Yuqing thought that these seven commanders had fought with Cao Bin in the Northern Han Dynasty, and they were convinced by Cao Bin's prestige and means in the army, and calmly It is not too difficult to transfer to other troops and erase the relationship between these seven people and the Cao family.

However, Zhu Yuqing was taken aback by the names of the four people Zhang Dong mentioned, because these four people are the well-known confidantes of Wang Haijiang.You know, at that time, Wang Haijiang and Li Mingxuan personally questioned the officers above the head of the Forbidden Army in the imperial city, and secretly investigated each of them in great detail.Make sure everyone is okay.Now it seems that whether it is Li Mingxuan or Wang Haijiang, these two people who were originally outside the inner circle of the Song Dynasty, in the short period of one or two years in power, they have treated the Great Song Dynasty Hall and the city of Kaifeng. , and even the control and understanding of the Imperial City and Palace are not as thorough and in-depth as they seem on the surface.

A moment later, the commander of the battalion who took over the city gate went up to the tower, saw Zhu Yuqing, Zhang Dong, and Cao Wei, swallowed his saliva involuntarily, saluted the three of them, and said, "Master Deputy Commander, The subordinates below have already made preparations. There are two dutou and more than 20 nails that Wang Haijiang got down. The subordinates have already done them in the camp just now. Now the people below are all at ease. "

Zhu Yuqing nodded, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and said: "Wake up all the officers above the head, and let them go to the school grounds in the name of Wang Haijiang, and call it a temporary meeting."

In order to reassure the people in charge of the specific affairs below, Zhang Dong and the others told the commander the plan of the matter, especially the truth about Ye Chen behind the scenes. Not only did the battalion commander not have the slightest fear after the success of the mission, but he felt excited and excited. He agreed and immediately started arranging orders.

……

……

In a corner of the imperial city, in the military conference hall on the side of the school ground where the Imperial City Imperial Army used to train, Zhu Yuqing looked at the ten commanders and fifty capitals in the hall in front of him, and said in a cold voice: "I have already said everything I need to say. Now, who among you has not understood?"

A needle could be heard in the hall of the military meeting, and there was a dead silence. A battalion commander hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Your official doesn't understand."

"Do you want me to repeat to you the late emperor's edict, Cao Gong's words, and what the regent appointed by the late emperor said?" Zhu Yuqing narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice: "The current emperor and those who colluded with killing the late emperor A thief, who killed his own younger brother, got the wrong position, and was fatuous and immoral, which caused my Great Song Dynasty to fall into such a state of destruction. Since I have learned of the last emperor's edict and the current emperor's crimes, I will Follow the will of the late emperor and the regent, whoever disobeys will kill himself for the sake of the country and tens of millions of people!"

The battalion commander glanced at Zhu Yuqing, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Deputy Commander Zhu, how can you prove the truth of the late emperor's edict you said?"

Zhu Yuqing glanced at this person like a knife, then glanced at the others, and said, "Those who are willing to follow me, abide by the late emperor's edict, and save my Great Song Dynasty in times of crisis stand at my right hand."

Dozens of officers in the room moved, and the situation was stronger than others.At this moment, all the members of the meeting room were Zhu Yuqing's personal soldiers and the experts brought by Zhang Dong of the Security Department. Dare to challenge face to face.

The Battalion Commander who came out earlier was already pale. He was a disciple of Li Mingxuan's Li clan, and even a member of the Holy Church. After Li Mingxuan came to power, he took advantage of his power to place him in the Forbidden Army of the Imperial City.But even Li Mingxuan and Wang Haijiang were caught off guard, who would have thought that such a thing would happen tonight, it was so sudden that he didn't even have time to summon and react.

At this time, all the officers in the Imperial City Imperial Army are here. If Zhu Yuqing wants to kill someone, they will be powerless to resist without preparation. Therefore, except for the battalion commander who has already made his debut, the other real confidantes of Li Mingxuan and Wang Haijiang , chose to temporarily make a fool of himself.

However, things are not as simple as they thought.

The next moment, Zhu Yuqing suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Ma Tianwu, Cao Mingfeng." Zhu Yuqing said the names of five commanders and seventeen capitals.
