(When I arrived home last night, I was really tired, so I folded my hands.)
…
…
The imperial city is thicker than the dignitaries in Kyoto. You can ride horses on the top and store things on the bottom. Even the rooms where the imperial army discusses affairs are set up among those large bluestones. There is a chill in the darkness. There are only a few jumping lights, shining on the faces and eyes of all the people in the room, making them wake up.
The generals and captains of the forbidden army are indeed very tired. Ever since the three cavalry came from Beijing and reported the incident on Dadongshan, the entire capital of Kyoto has been stormy, and the palace they are responsible for guarding has become the center of the storm closely watched by all forces. . For several days in a row, none of the generals could leave the imperial city, and no one dared to go back to the residence to rest even when they were on duty.
The flames turned into burning brilliance in the eyes of the eldest prince. He looked at the dozen or so generals in the room, and said in a cold voice: "Have you heard clearly what this king said?"
There was silence in the room. A general with a sullen face knelt on the ground on one knee and gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know the end."
"You want me to read the will again?" The eldest prince stared into his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "The crown prince colluded with the Northern Qi Dongyi assassins to assassinate the late emperor on the Dadong Mountain, with the intention of usurping the dynasty. Since you have accepted the last emperor's edict, if anyone deserves to be punished, he should be punished!"
The general glanced at the thin piece of paper next to the First Prince, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Your Highness, who knows the authenticity of the so-called will?"
The eldest prince looked at him indifferently, then slowly took out a box from his arms, and put the box on the table.
The box was opened, and inside was a small seal, which had been missing for several days, making the palace's will still unable to comply with the transition... The emperor's seal!
As soon as the Xingxi came out, the complexion of the generals in the room changed dramatically. They knelt on the ground and saluted Fang Yuxi. No one dared to say more.
"Follow Your Highness's military orders."
"Lord Xiao Fan is ordered to eradicate rebellion, and ordered this king to help."
The eldest prince's eyes slowly slid across the faces of the generals kneeling on the ground, and he could see the thoughts of many people. Although he followed Fan Xian's persuasion and commanded the Imperial Army with peace of mind, he had already placed many cronies in the Imperial Army, but Yan Xiao There are still a lot of remaining forces left by B in charge of the Imperial Army. If you want to rely on this side's seal and edict, let these people be convincing and use it for yourself...
The corners of the eldest prince's eyes twitched, and he sneered self-deprecatingly in his heart, there has never been such a simple thing in the world.
"There are generals who are willing to follow this king to save the country from danger, please stand up." The first prince said calmly, the light from the oil lamps in the corner of the room shrouded his face, making his face seem to be overflowing. blood.
All the generals in the room stood up, they were more powerful than others, at this time, all the soldiers and lieutenants of the First Prince were in the room, even if those generals had ulterior motives in their hearts, they did not dare to attack in person.
The general who came out to speak in front of his head was a bit bitter. He had been in touch with the eldest princess in the palace, but he did not expect that the eldest prince would suddenly attack tonight and gather all the generals in the secret room for a meeting, and summoned So fast, I didn't even give myself a little time to react.
All the generals of the Forbidden Army were in the room, and no one was missed. If the eldest prince chooses to kill someone, no one can resist, so those Yan Xiaoyi's former subordinates can only pretend to be false for the time being.
…
…
"Zhang Hao, Chen Yijiang..." the eldest prince suddenly spoke, and called the names of the five generals.
The five generals turned cold, looked at each other, felt a little ominous, and walked out of the queue. These five people are all subordinates who were promoted when Yan Xiaoyi was there.
The eldest prince looked at the five people indifferently, and after a pause, he said quietly: "You know what the purpose of this king calling you to come out."
A general with a pale face, knelt down in front of the eldest prince with a thud, and said, "Your Highness! The last general will absolutely follow His Highness's lead, and will never have any different intentions."
The eldest prince looked at him and nodded, and said gently: "I'm wronged, you stay in this room for half a day, how about it?"
The general's expression changed, but he finally nodded and retreated to the wall.
And the other four people had extremely complicated emotions in their hearts. If they were guarded in this secret room by the First Prince's personal soldiers, how could they send a message to the palace
The four of them looked at each other, and it was the one who spoke first. This person was named Yijiang Chen, and he was Yan Xiaoyi's confidant who was handpicked up by Yan Xiaoyi back then. He knew that since the eldest prince turned against him today, he couldn't tolerate him no matter what. Moreover, his own identity is also doomed, and it is impossible to let his hands down.
After a moment of silence, Chen Yijiang said: "My lord, there are at least six or seven hundred of the 2,000 forbidden troops above the imperial city, and they are the subordinates of the five of us. Dare to ask your lord, without our help, how would you subdue all the forbidden troops? "
He suddenly raised his head, and said with a sneer: "The garrison of the capital may enter the capital at any time, and one-third of the imperial army has been transferred to Dadongshan. What can we do now to counter those tiger and wolf divisions? The general dares to ask the prince to think about it, so as not to waste his life." .”
Although these words were harsh, the silent officers in the room knew that this was just Chen Yijiang's last struggle.
"I never need to think about things that the king thinks about."
The eldest prince looked at Chen Yijiang coldly, a murderous intent gradually filled his eyes, an indifferent killing intent honed in the fight with barbarians in the west.
Chen Yijiang's heart trembled, his blood rushed up, he let out an angry roar, held the saber by his waist, drew it out of its sheath with a choking sound, and rushed towards the First Prince.
The roar broke through, and the knife fell to the ground. The three spears pierced Chen Yijiang's body cold-bloodedly and brutally, piercing his body and hanging in the air like this!
Chen Yijiang sprayed blood from his mouth, he looked unwillingly and desperately at the eldest prince who was three feet away, his body twitched twice on the spear, and then he bowed his head and died.
At the same time that Chen Yijiang drew his saber and rushed over, the other three generals left behind by Yan Xiaoyi also drew their sabers, and rushed over bravely and desperately, but the room was full of the eldest prince's cronies, and there were only a few slaps. The sound of breaking wind, the knife light flashed a few times in the red light...
The corpses fell to the ground, and the smell of blood gradually rose, and the four generals of the imperial army died aggrievedly like this.
The eldest prince quietly looked at the corpse under his feet, and suddenly turned his head to look at the last general. Seeing that his legs were trembling, but he didn't have the courage to step forward, he couldn't help but shook his head, and cursed softly.
"Take care." The eldest prince ordered his cronies, but walked out of the discussion room without looking back.
…
…
Walking to the high imperial city, the eldest prince stood in the turret of the imperial city, gently stroking the fixed crossbow machine with the palm of his hand, and looked at the imperial crossbow arrows shining with black light. The square outside the city, and the four streets and alleys outside the square that have been controlled by the imperial army.
"According to the commander-in-chief's order, the six hundred people are all on duty at this time." The school officer who personally arranged for Fan Xian to lead the team into the palace stood behind the eldest prince and reported in a low voice.
After spending a day and a half playing tricks on the value exchange of the Imperial Army, the First Prince finally managed to transfer the more than 600 Imperial Army soldiers out of the imperial city without alarming the four generals who were dead at this time.
The eldest prince said quietly: "Are you ready?"
The school official looked up at the eldest prince, and resolutely said: "The 1,200 people have surrounded and can do it at any time."
At this time, there were already 1,200 subordinates loyal to the First Prince in the resting quarters of the forbidden army, who sneaked in in the dark and divided and surrounded the 600 soldiers. As long as there is an order, the butcher knife will be raised to wipe out the last part of the restless factors in the forbidden army.
"Those soldiers should still be sleeping." The First Prince had a complicated expression, "It should be good to die in your sleep."
The Eldest Prince personally led tens of thousands of troops to march west, and made great achievements on the side of Xihu, the most commendable, and the virtue of letting the soldiers of the army fight to the death, is that he has always loved soldiers like a son. However... Compassion is not in charge of the army, especially when it comes to major issues involving the future of the Qing Kingdom, the eldest prince's heart is as hard as a stone.
"Marshal Jinhou issued an order." The confidant didn't know what the eldest prince was thinking, and felt a little anxious, thinking that Mr. Fan had already entered the palace. If the prince suddenly softened at this time, no one knew what would happen after dawn, so He will have such a reminder and careful urging.
The eldest prince smiled self-deprecatingly, turned his gaze away from the private houses in the dark night, and looked back at the palace shrouded in the deeper night.
He watched for a long time, but never issued an order, because the harem was still so peaceful.
"It's not up to me to decide when to strike." The First Prince patted the heavy defensive ballista under his palm lightly, and said, "If we strike first, I'm afraid we will startle the people in the palace...Fan Xian , will decide when to act."
Looking at the quiet deep palace, he couldn't help but shook his head. He was actually very similar to the defensive crossbow on the palace wall. Although powerful, he was bound by something concrete or nothing. He could only point the arrow at the outside of the palace, but he couldn't bear to point it at the inside of the palace.
—————————
The entire imperial city was divided into three areas. The small building in the Lenggong Qiuyuan at the end was basically a forgotten corner where no nobles lived. The area surrounded by the imperial city walls at Junlin Square is a complex of solemn buildings including the Tai Chi Hall. In this building, the Qing Emperor and his officials discussed and decided all the affairs of the Qing Kingdom.
The place where the nobles live is behind the Taiji Hall, which is composed of countless palaces. The guards and eunuchs of the inner court are responsible for taking care of the guards. We generally call it the harem.
Many people thought that once they entered the imperial city, they would be able to enter the harem smoothly, but they seemed to have forgotten how much the emperor, an alternative male creature, cared about his territory and his female beasts.
The emperors of all dynasties are very concerned about this matter, because they have too many women, no matter how talented they are, they will inevitably be neglected too much, and they will naturally become the most prone to cuckold masters in the world.
In order not to wear a cuckold, the emperors invented eunuchs, built a high wall between the harem and the front palace, and sent a large number of trusted guards. Therefore, in history, perverts who had an affair or a finger with the concubines of the harem basically could not escape the three types of people: guards, imperial physicians, and eunuchs.
However, although the high walls of the harem could not stop the red apricots in the palace from stretching out of the wall, they successfully blocked many people who wanted to rebel.
History has already proved this point. During the Great Wei Dynasty more than a hundred years ago, there was a civil official who took advantage of the emperor's long tour to plot against him. Like Fan Xian tonight, he brought only a thousand people to kill the imperial city. It is inexplicable. She successfully passed the defense of the imperial army, and seeing success...but the queen who was left in the harem, led a large number of guards, eunuchs, and maids, and successfully blocked the rebellious soldiers from the palace gate.
In the end, this daring civil servant discovered in despair that those eunuchs, women and children, were even more powerful than the imperial guards, and had sealed themselves outside the palace for three days!
The last conspirator, of course, ended in death. Apart from the calmness and bravery of the empress, and the united efforts of the eunuchs, maids and guards in the palace, the most important reason for successfully stopping this rebellion... is the high wall the emperor used to keep women in captivity, which is too strong!
…
…
However, where there is a wall, there must be a door, unless it is an underground tomb. In addition, because human beings never like to climb in and out of another window opened by God, no matter how strictly forbidden the building is, it will open all kinds of doors.
And if there is a door, there will naturally be someone who opens it, so the key to determining whether a place is easy to attack is not how thick the door is or whether the bolt inside is made of fine steel, but whether you have the person who opened the door.
Chairman Mao and many great men have said that the ultimate mystery that determines everything is people.
…
…
Fan Xian dared to storm the harem beyond everyone's expectations, naturally because he had mastered the person who opened the door.
Two hundred "Forbidden Army" followed the regular route and carried out silent and tense patrols. They were moving towards the west on the top of the high imperial city wall. When they were about to reach the star, a cloud suddenly passed in the sky, and the starlight gradually faded away. Light, the top of the city was getting dark, and the forbidden army walked down the stone ladder back and forth.
There was no light at all in the Taiji Hall, and occasionally a few guards patrolling with lanterns, as well as eunuchs in charge of the watch, could be seen walking hunched over.
This group of forbidden troops assembled at the place closest to the harem under the imperial city, and then... spread out like the wind!
Fan Xian looked at his subordinates indifferently, scattered like countless falcons, and pounced on the people and lights remaining in the front palace, but in a flash, those lights came, and several guards were silently silenced. Stabbed to death silently.
He nodded, the two hundred people were a mixed unit, one hundred of the five hundred black knights were transferred, and the other hundred were the last assassin troops drawn from the six divisions, acting in the dark, it was really ruthless Spicy and powerful.
Jing Ge, the deputy commander of the black cavalry who was following him, glanced at him, then at the high wall of the harem about tens of meters away, and asked in a deep voice, "Strike?"
Fan Xian glanced at an unattractive door under the palace wall, shook his head and said, "Let's go through the door."
"Go through the door?" Jing Ge looked at Master Tisi in surprise, thinking what His Excellency said was really strange, could it be that he went to Dadong Mountain and learned the legendary ability of piercing through walls of temples
Fan Xian ignored him, took off his heavy Imperial Army armor, exposed the tight-fitting black night clothes inside, and approached the square door under the cover of the trees in the front palace.
Jing Ge made a gesture behind him, and the members of the assault team who were scattered in the surrounding darkness immediately flew back like bats, arranged in two straight lines with Fan Xian as the center, and stuck tightly to each other. Under the palace wall of the harem.
Jing Ge also followed, standing two feet behind Fan Xian, looked up at the wall, thinking that it wasn't too high, at least half of the two hundred people could climb over it.
At this moment, the clouds in the sky dispersed slightly, and a round of clear and bright moon came out from the light clouds. The silver moonlight shone on Jing Ge's silver mask, very beautiful.
Fan Xian stood in front of the door and gently knocked on the door under the moonlight.
…
…
The knuckles lightly landed on the heavy wooden door, making a slight buzzing sound, but it was just a sound, no one behind the wooden door responded, but followed by the slight sound of the door spring.
The 200 men in black lurking on both sides of Fan Xian couldn't help showing shock on their faces. They followed Mr. Fan tonight and entered the palace according to the emperor's will. Although these 200 people were brave and loyal, they were also tragic in their hearts. prepared to die.
Unexpectedly, Master Xiao Fan knocked on the door of the harem so lightly!
At this moment, all the subordinates who entered the imperial city felt infinite awe of Fan Xian in their hearts, and their confidence in tonight's success or failure also doubled.
The wooden door of the harem is extremely thick, and it is obvious that the traitor inside is struggling to open the door. With his eyes closed, Fan Xian put his palm on the wooden door, and suddenly he frowned, with a slight movement of zhenqi in his body, a gentle ray of zhenqi flowed from his palm to the door, shaking the wooden door open by about two people's width.
The door was opened very gently, without making a sound.
Fan Xian flashed through the door like a gust of wind, then glanced at the eunuch behind the door with nervous and frightened eyes, nodded slightly, and said, "Thanks for your hard work."
Eunuch Dai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at the dark surroundings in some panic, and didn't dare to answer.
I'm afraid the eldest princess didn't expect that there are still people in the imperial palace who dare to take the risk of killing everyone to be Fan Xian's mole. Eunuch Dai is just an ordinary poor old eunuch!
Yes, Fan Xian had been kind to Eunuch Dai, at least three times, but the eunuch willing to take such a big risk to help Fan Xian was not just repaying the kindness, on the one hand, he wanted to regain his own self by helping Fan Xian. The power that I miss very much after losing, on the one hand, is that he has had a deep relationship with Fan Xian all these years. If the crown prince really becomes the emperor, I am afraid that he will not even think about working in the laundry bureau, and just wait for death.
Most importantly, Eunuch Dai knew that his nephew had been under Fan Xian's surveillance all along. And Eunuch Dai still counted on his nephew to take care of him until the end of his life.
Eunuch Dai looked around in fear, he was actually a little puzzled, why he opened the door so smoothly, and why didn't those guards who were staring around find him
"My lord, this servant will lead the way for you..."
The two-man wide palace door was opened, and men in black drifted in from time to time. These men in black were extremely fast, and they all rushed into the harem in no time, each choosing the terrain to hide their figures. Looking at this scene, Eunuch Dai was terrified. He knew that these were the subordinates that Mr. Fan used to mess up the palace, but he just watched...there seemed to be too few people, right
"Find a place to pretend to be dead."
Fan Xian said softly to Eunuch Dai, the determination in his eyes gradually became stronger. He was familiar with the terrain of the palace beyond anyone's imagination, because from the first time he entered the Hanguang Palace to steal the key, he was very familiar with the palace. He did not know how many times he calculated the escape route for the surprise attack in the mansion.
Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.
Hearing the words, Eunuch Dai crouched down and disappeared into the night. Listening to Mr. Fan's words, he found an inconspicuous place and pretended to be dead.
And the two hundred Yexing people here have already made their final preparations. Fan Xian glanced at Jing Ge, parted his thin lips slightly, and uttered an extremely cold word: "Sudden!"
…
…
The task had already been arranged before entering the palace. He has an eyeliner that others can't guess in the palace, and has various channels to help Fan Xian understand. He is very clear about the layout of the palace, and divided the two hundred people into four groups, the most important of which are him and Jing. Two groups led by Ge.
Fan Xian will bring the assassin swordsmen from the Sixth Office straight to the Hanguang Palace, and must rescue the three people, Ning Cairen, Yigui, and the third prince, from the empress dowager's personal custody before the people in the palace can react. come out!
This is the most important thing. The eldest prince dared to lead the imperial army to rebel precisely because he believed that Fan Xian could rescue his mother. Naturally, Fan Xian couldn't disappoint his brother who trusted him so much.
And Jing Ge's commanders are mainly solo black knights, who want to charge directly at Guangxin Palace with a sudden attack, hoping to hit them with one blow.
Because the eldest princess was in the Guangxin Palace, if she didn't kill this woman, Fan Xian would always feel that a poisonous snake was staring at him.
Fan Xian has already found out that Wan'er and Dabao are in Guangxin Palace, but he doesn't go to Guangxin Palace in person. On the one hand, the Hanguang Palace is more important, and on the other hand... I don't know if it's because he subconsciously, it's also very important. Afraid of facing that kind of situation, so why not just let Jing Ge lead the army
…
…
Two hundred men in black, like two hundred ghosts, were divided into countless lines under the faint moonlight, and rushed towards various places in the harem along the arrows.
Fan Xian headed towards the Hanguang Palace at top speed, past flowers, trees, lakes, and pavilions, and then met several guards.
"Bing value guard with a knife."
Fan Xian didn't even look at the guards standing there blankly, but just said something in his heart, the guards in charge of patrolling this area in shifts are guards on duty C, it seems that the little guy didn't miss it either.
The reason why I don't even look at these guards is because these guards along the way can no longer move!
I don't know if they were poisoned or some kind of curse, the eyes of the guards closest to the palace gate opened by Eunuch Dai were terrified, but they couldn't make a sound, and their bodies were a little stiff. No wonder Eunuch Dai opened the palace gate for Fan Xian so smoothly!
This scene was very strange. The guard in charge of guarding the harem couldn't react when he saw the man in black floating in front of his eyes!
With a few chi chi sounds, the last two swordsmen of Fan Xian's team pulled out their iron rods, and slashed the throats of these guards cleanly, killing them and finally getting rid of the situation. Nightmarish emotional distress.
After passing trees, flowers, lakes and pavilions, Hanguang Hall is close at hand.
Fan Xian waved his hand, and shot out with a dark crossbow, nailing to death a night watch eunuch who had discovered him and opened his mouth to scream!
…
…
Fan Xian needed speed, he needed the feeling of sudden and fierce killing brought by this speed, and he needed this feeling to shock everyone in the palace, so he didn't care about his body being exposed.
The medicine can only be used against a group of guards, and it can only ensure that the guards will find themselves later. He never expected that he would rush into the palace with two hundred people until he stood in front of the empress dowager's bed, but still no guard could find him.
It's only a matter of time before it's discovered.
Hanguang Palace is less than thirty feet away from these night killers who shoot out like arrows.
Suddenly, there was an exclamation from a distant place behind the side, and the sound of several swords and soldiers intersecting metal and iron. Fan Xian didn't turn his head, but he also heard that it was not the direction of Guangxin Palace. subordinates.
His heart tightened, and a drop of cold sweat oozed from his forehead, knowing that his whereabouts had finally been discovered.
"Let go, let go!"
Fan Xian didn't stop, but his right hand clenched into a fist, and then quickly spread away. Seeing this instruction, the well-trained swordsmen of the six divisions of the Overwatch Council immediately dispersed from behind him, turning into countless curves along the curved lake on the side of the Hanguang Hall, detoured around the road, borrowed Covered by the trees, he headed towards the deserted palace.
And the swordsman of the Overwatch Council who was dragging at the back suddenly stopped, pierced the iron rod into the soil, took out a small tube from his arms, squinted his eyes at the bright moon in the sky, and then pulled it hard!
The fireworks shot straight into the sky, illuminating the quiet and dark palace clearly in an instant, and also sent the clearest signal to the hidden people in all directions in Kyoto.
The disappearance has come to an end, and the sudden killing has officially entered.
…
…
A knife flew over and cut into the right shoulder of the Overwatch Council swordsman. The swordsman was still holding the firework at this time, and he didn't dodge it, blood burst out. But after he let out a muffled grunt, he pulled back the iron rod on the ground with his left hand, and fought with the two guards who rushed over from the side.
Fan Xian was only ten feet away from the Hanguang Palace at this time. He didn't watch the fireworks, and he didn't have time to care about the life and death of that loyal subordinate. He just stared at the Hanguang Palace coldly, and found that there was movement inside. The reaction speed of the defense force here is really higher than my estimate.
Faster, faster!
There seemed to be guards everywhere reacting, and Fan Xian was facing the Hanguang Palace at this time, his eyes slightly squinted, his killing intent was fully released, the domineering qi in his body was instantly raised to the extreme that the meridians could hold, and then kicked Step onto the stone railing on the side of the temple!
The stone fence is broken!
With the help of this huge shock force, Fan Xian's people flew up, like a big black bird, with a rude and arrogant posture under the moonlight, it came to the top of the Hanguang Palace, revealing own determination!
At the highest point, his true energy gradually slowed down, and his body was about to fall. He let out a muffled grunt, and slapped down with his right hand horizontally. With the momentum of a big wall coffin, he moved his body three points horizontally, and slapped Hanguang On the glazed tiles of the temple.
With one shot, the tiles flew randomly, flying in the moonlight, giving people the feeling that at this moment, the whole Hanguang Temple trembled!
No one could match Fan Xian's speed at this time, and no one dared to resist such an indomitable momentum. Under the moonlight, with the power of a beat, he flew up again, like a big bird spreading its wings, approaching the top of the temple, and then fell down with luck!
With a loud bang, he forcefully smashed a big hole in Hanguang Hall with all his domineering true energy!
Just when the maids of Hanguang Palace frightenedly lit the first palace lantern, Fan Xian in black fell like a stone on the floor of the apse of Hanguang Palace. It is a bluestone floor that has been stepped on and cracked inch by inch.
In his hand is the Emperor Sword. (, If you want to know what happens next, please log in, there are more chapters, support the author, support the original!)
