"Chengqian, surrender..."
Fan Xian's gentle and gentle words made tens of thousands of people inside and outside the palace dumbfounded at the same time, feeling extremely absurd. Right now, the rebel army is besieging the city, and the people in your palace will not be able to escape even if they go all over the world. Moment, brazenly persuade to surrender at the head of the city!
The crown prince Li Chengqian, who was riding on a horse, was dressed in military uniform, and he gasped, thinking that Anzhi's face was getting thicker and thicker, and he could say such a thing, and he said it so naturally, if someone who didn't know the situation listened to him I'm afraid it will make people think that I, Li Chengqian, was the poor man who was driven like a rabbit today, not him, Fan Xian.
It's amazing to say the least, but in just one night, Fan Xian transformed from a prisoner of the imperial court to a so-called supervisor of the country, escaped from exile, broke into the palace, almost captured the prince in one fell swoop, and successfully reversed. In the early morning that followed, the prince escaped by chance, and the army entered the city, but Fan Xian was besieged in the palace instead.
The so-called Changing King's Banner at the top of the city probably refers to the story that happened that night. The story is already extremely absurd, so what is it that Fan Xian said such an absurd statement
Li Chengqian looked up at the two brothers above the imperial city, smiled bitterly, shook his head, and thought to himself, after Mr. Qin spoke, he should be the one who sincerely persuaded his elder brother to surrender, but Fan Xian did not He rushed to come up with such a sentence, but instead blocked his own words, this Fan Xian was indeed a villain to the extreme.
There was a sound of horseshoes in the square on the right. Li Chengqian turned his head subconsciously and saw the Dingzhou army entering the capital from the west gate, slowly approaching the Chinese army where he was. He frowned. In front of the thousands of people, seeing the handsome face of the second prince, a slight chill appeared in his heart. This second elder brother was thinking something complicated, his face was very similar to Fan Xian's, and the calculations in his mind were probably the same.
The Dingzhou army slowly stopped on the right wing of the rebel army, carefully maintaining a respectful attitude towards the rebel army's middle battalion.
"Brother, you and I..." Prince Li Chengqian glanced at the second prince, and finally spoke. He couldn't wait for the second prince to speak, but without the blessing of internal strength, he had to shout to let those above the imperial city hear, although he He still maintained the majesty and imperial aura cultivated by the prince of the Eastern Palace for more than ten years, but in comparison, he was not as strong as when Fan Xian denounced the Qin family.
…
…
Fan Xian picked out his ears, glanced at the First Prince, and said nothing, because the First Prince listened very seriously at this moment. What the prince said was all in his calculations, and it was nothing more than his intention to persuade the eldest prince with brotherhood, and at the same time, he still blamed Fan Xian on the matter of Dadongshan.
Although the crown prince knew that the eldest prince would not believe that Fan Xian was the murderer, he still wanted to say that any brotherhood must be based on a plausible logic.
The eldest prince's face darkened. The emperor had a total of five sons. If you don't count Fan Xian who grew up in Danzhou and the third son who was born last, he and the prince and the second prince grew up together since childhood. Although the prince is respected, the three brothers feel Not bad, especially before His Majesty showed favor to the second prince, the exchanges between the three princes are more worth cherishing than those bloody conspiracy stories in the history books.
Everyone has thought about it, but no one is willing to imagine that one day, these three brothers who grew up together will meet each other.
At this moment, the second prince, who had been silent since the rebel army besieged the palace, also spoke. He lightly tapped the mount under him with the heel of his boot, allowing the horse to take him a foot away from the rebel army. Looking at the imperial city, following the words of the prince, he began to shout to the eldest prince very sincerely.
It must be admitted that the second prince did have a trick to win people's hearts. He did not mention the matter of making the first prince surrender, but only dealt with the friendship in the past, and expressed his dissatisfaction with the first prince for helping Fan Xian in a resentful tone. , and vaguely mentioned Emperor Qing's attitude towards the eldest prince...in fact, it is not like a father treats his son.
Fan Xian glanced at the First Prince, and found that the face of the First Prince next to him was getting more and more gloomy. He was not worried that the First Prince would fall under the pressure of the general situation and the family attack of the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, because when he analyzed a matter, he would always start from the character of a person, and he knew that the First Prince's character was like a fire.
He turned to look at the second prince who was still shouting, and frowned slightly, because he recognized that the general next to the second prince was Ye Zhong.
Ye Zhong was already the commander of the Kyoto Defense Division thirty years ago, and he is now in his fifties, but he doesn't look old at all, and he is not as aggressive as the general Qing Dynasty generals. A little short and a little fat.
But Fan Xian would never underestimate him, because he knew that this person was already a famous ninth-rank expert. Ye Liuyun's closest nephew, who once fought with his scary mother, is not simple. Moreover, it is not easy to describe a person who can become the commander of the Kyoto garrison when he was in his twenties.
Fan Xian's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, but his eyes became brighter and brighter, as bright as a star that still refuses to recede under the sunlight.
…
…
The eldest prince suddenly shouted loudly at the rebels below the city: "Enough!"
The second prince smiled helplessly and shut up.
The eldest prince said sharply: "When is this? You still don't forget to frame Fan Xian! I know that you will do any ugly things for the sake of the throne, but don't forget, there are some things I can't do! If If you want to attack, you attack, don't be like a bitch talking about it here!"
These words were decisive and full of momentum, and did not give the second prince Gong Xia the slightest room for maneuver.
The second prince's usually gentle face finally turned gloomy at this moment, he became so angry for some reason, and shouted angrily at the imperial city: "Brother! Don't forget, we are brothers!"
"Brother?" The Eldest Prince had been worrying about the guards of the palace and the major events he planned with Fan Xian for several days. His mind was exhausted, and his eye sockets were deeply sunken, but on the contrary, his eyes were very sharp.
He looked at the crown prince, then at the second prince, and suddenly said sharply: "Brothers! You don't even want to be sons, but you are still willing to be brothers!"
There was silence, these words pointed out too many things, the imperial guards in the imperial city knew about this matter from the will, and their eyes suddenly showed grief, anger and pain. But the faces of the rebels under the imperial city became a little weird. Although His Majesty the Emperor was stabbed to death in Dadongshan, His Majesty's dragon power still exists. As a child of the Qing army, carrying the banner of the prince, what he actually did was killing the king and usurping the throne. Whoever is not afraid, who will not Drumming in the belly
The eldest prince stood between the crenels of the imperial city, frowned deeply, looked at the prince sadly and said: "The matter of Dadongshan was done by the eldest princess... I know you don't have the ability, but you must know! Even if the emperor wants to abolish you , but you are a son, how could you do something so inferior to a beast?"
The prince's complexion was a bit gloomy, but he remained silent, allowing the eldest prince to scold him angrily. The old man Qin beside him frowned and waved his hand. The rebels behind him began to prepare to attack the city, and gradually lined up. There was a tooth-piercing sound of pulling the bowstring from behind.
————————
At the moment when the three princes were talking fiercely about the secrets of the royal family and were angry with each other, no one noticed that Fan Xian had left the city alone, walked down the long stone steps to the inside of the palace, and walked through the air. Go to the wide square and walk towards the Tai Chi Hall.
Fan Xian watched carefully along the way, and found that although the eldest prince was good at field battles on the grasslands, he had also put in a lot of effort in the defense of the city. Everywhere was well prepared, and even the entrance of the stone steps had been demolished. The two turrets of the imperial city have prepared stone and heavy wood, and it seems that they are ready to deal with the siege battle later.
And beside the three palace gates under the imperial city, some strange-shaped stones have been prepared, even with moss on them. Fan Xian squinted his eyes and thought, could it be that the rockery in the palace was also demolished by the boss? Just as he was thinking, a team came in front of him, and under the custody of several imperial guards, more than a hundred eunuchs who looked exhausted were pushing stones with moss on them. It was indeed a rockery in the palace. .
There are three palace gates in the main city of the palace, and only one will always be opened on weekdays, but when the rebels attack, of course they will not choose only one. Fan Xian understands that the First Prince is planning to use fake rocks to kill these three palace gates. Damn it, I'm afraid the preparations for this work started before dawn.
Blocking the rebels outside the palace and trapping oneself to death in the palace, this is the so-called death defense. Fan Xian sighed, knowing that the boss had made up his mind to die.
There were not many imperial troops seen along the way. Compared with the empty palace, they were even sparse, and they really didn't have much confidence.
Fan Xian sighed again, knowing that more than 1,000 imperial guards had been taken to the palace where the eunuchs and maids lived daily. One was to suppress the restless factors in the palace, and the other was because the entire imperial city belonged to the most vulnerable place. breakthrough.
Entering the Tai Chi Hall, looking at the worried ministers, the heavy-faced Ning Cairen and Yigui Concubine, and the restless third prince, Fan Xian sighed three times in his heart, saluted the two bachelors Hu Shu, but his face was piled up. He smiled and said to the third prince: "Taiping, the war is about to start, don't you feel exciting?"
The third prince, Li Chengping, was a child after all. Ever since he learned that the palace was trapped, he became frightened. Although he forcibly suppressed his face, after hearing Fan Xian's words, he finally couldn't help but flattened his mouth in horror. With a smile teased by Fan Xian, it looked very funny.
Fan Xian turned around and saluted the pale-faced Empress Dowager, then glanced at the empress with messy long hair, and said in a deep voice, "I invite the empress dowager, empress, to go to the city to watch the battle."
—————————
Since ancient times, the work of clarifying the righteousness and flaunting one's own orthodoxy, which is necessary for rebellion, has ended in the anger of the first prince and the depression of the prince and the second prince. The rebel army below the imperial city had already approached, especially when there were thousands of archers in the rear barracks, they began to prepare for a volley.
At this time, there are only a thousand forbidden troops on the top of the city. I'm afraid that after the rain of arrows, they will lose a lot.
The eldest prince held his long sword in his hand, walked silently on the top of the city, and issued a few orders from time to time, ordering the soldiers to prepare for the rebel offensive. This was the first time that the Qingguo Palace was baptized by the rain of arrows. , What kind of bloody wind can resist it.
Because they didn't have the budget to defend the palace, and because they didn't control the defenders, the Imperial Army's defense was already at a strategic disadvantage, because they didn't have enough bows and arrows in their hands, only the four defenders crossbows on the four corners of the imperial city could support them. There are tens of thousands of rebels, these four crossbows are cannons to kill mosquitoes, how many can they kill
"Get ready!" The eldest prince tightly gripped the sword, staring at the massive black rebel army under the imperial city, listening to the constant sound of bow strings being tightened in his ears, his heartstrings couldn't help but tense .
Thousands of archers drew their bows at the same time, and the palpitating creaking sound seemed to penetrate the eardrums of everyone in the imperial city and shake everyone's minds.
The forbidden army above the imperial city had already hid behind the arrow stacks, and the guards holding shields were also waiting behind the eldest prince.
The war is about to break out, and everyone is waiting for the moment when the rain of arrows roars across the sky.
However, Fan Xian didn't let this happen. He wasn't interested in admiring the scenery of the siege, and he didn't pretend to force the imperial army to suffer heavy losses before offering his own skillful or evil hands.
On the stone steps, there was a rush of footsteps, following the footsteps came Fan Xian, dozens of panting old ministers behind him, and several women who were half supported and half held down by the eunuchs .
These women were originally the most honorable roles among women in the world, but today they have become the most humble and humiliating roles in the world.
Fan Xian took the third prince by one hand and walked behind the first prince. He squinted at the rebel army camp under the imperial city that was about to shoot. What a fart... I just heard him gather his true energy and shout to the rebels below the imperial city: "Chengqian, second child...quickly stop."
The prince and the second prince were startled when they heard the sound, they looked up towards the top of the imperial city, and then saw a scene that made their hearts palpitate.
"Queen!"
"Mother!"
"Queen!"
Looking at the women who suddenly appeared above the imperial city, the crown prince and the second prince couldn't help but exclaimed, even the old master Qin and Ye Chong couldn't help frowning. Then they heard Fan Xian shouting to himself beside those women:
"Don't rush to call... I'll bring your mother, grandma, and brother to see you..."
————————
Hearing this sentence, many people had the urge to vomit blood. No one would have imagined that Fan Xian, who was famous all over the world as a poet and as the chief inspector of the Overwatch Council, would utter such shameless words.
However, only Fan Xian knew that after experiencing life and death on the meadow, his life finally produced a very gratifying change. He got rid of the sourness of the two lives and gradually moved closer. Gradually, I want to merge with the little boy who shouted on the roof of Danzhou that it was raining to collect his clothes.
This kind of Fan Xian is a lovely Fan Xian, a suspect Fan Xian, a shameless Fan Xian, and a terrible Fan Xian.
No matter how powerful the crown prince and second prince were, they couldn't help becoming angry when they saw the frightening scene. The second prince scolded sharply, "Fan Xian! You are shameless!"
Fan Xian stared back and scolded, "You just know?"
The prince was also extremely angry, but he immediately said anxiously to Mr. Qin beside him: "Don't shoot the arrow!"
Old Master Qin frowned, thinking that it was only natural for these nobles to be used by Fan Xian to threaten him in the palace. Could it be that the crown prince hadn't thought of this... The old general sighed in his heart, the crown prince is benevolent, However, the cowardice that had gradually disappeared in the past two years finally resurfaced.
For soldiers, at this moment of life and death, there should not be any hesitation at all. The so-called throwing a mouse is nothing but cowardice.
However, Mr. Qin didn't understand after all. Sometimes the alias of cowardice is human nature.
…
…
Undoubtedly, Fan Xian's behavior at this time was not very human. He just calculated the prince's temperament, stood beside the eldest prince with a calm smile, and said, "I just don't want to be shot like a hedgehog."
"Why did you bring Taiping here? He is still a child." The eldest prince sighed, looked at the ministers and the empress dowager, concubine Shugui, and the third prince, and said disapprovingly.
"As the monarch after the Qing Dynasty, you must see this scene with your own eyes." Fan Xian gently shook the trembling hands of the third prince. The third prince was really terrified to see so many rebels with his own eyes. It's not light.
Fan Xian smiled at the confidants beside him and said, "Please Concubine Shu to stand in the left corner tower, and the Empress to stand in the right corner tower, please..." He glanced at the empress dowager who was pale but silent, and said: "The empress dowager please stand by my side."
"I'll put three god master cards here... Let's see if their arrows are so accurate."
The people above the imperial city felt a chill in their hearts when they heard the words.
…
…
After the commotion, Fan Xian looked at the people in the rebel camp who were arguing fiercely, and said, "No matter what decision the Crown Prince and Mr. Qin make in the end, they must be very unhappy with each other."
The eldest prince gasped, looked at him and said, "You even count this?"
Fan Xian turned his head and glanced at the stern-faced Second Prince and Ye Zhong beside him who looked like a low iron tower, and said, "I've got a lot more things to calculate."
"If the second child is the leader today, I'm afraid the rain of arrows will arrive by this time. Although the empress is not as amiable as Concubine Shu, her life is much better than Concubine Shu's, because her son is worse than Concubine Shu's son..."
"Even if the arrows are not released, the rebels will still attack..." Fan Xian lowered his head slightly and said, "Go and prepare, I have to figure out a problem."
The eldest prince glanced at him, and ordered his soldiers to protect the third prince, and then glanced at the silent queen mother, feeling puzzled, but it was inconvenient to say more, and left here.
Fan Xian let go of the third prince's hand, took the empress dowager's old and slightly stiff hand, and walked a few steps to the left, like a filial grandson helping his grandmother, so that the empress dowager in a bright yellow phoenix costume appeared at the top of the city Above, it was like a bright light, hanging high in the morning sky, catching the eyes of all the rebels.
The archers of the rebel army subconsciously loosened their bowstrings. Although the orders from their superiors had not yet been delivered, their arms were already starting to become sore. And the most terrible thing was that everyone guessed that the old woman in the phoenix suit Who is it - the mother of His Majesty the Emperor, the grandmother of His Highness the Crown Prince, the only surviving elder of the Li family in the entire Qing Kingdom, such a noble person, even if he talks about it, he is afraid of being profaned, let alone pointing at it with an arrow, in case the Empress Dowager is accidentally injured ... Who dares to bear the consequences
As long as it is the people of the Qing Kingdom, they are not willing to let the queen mother suffer a little damage, so when Fan Xian led the queen mother to the imperial city, the first prince was in a bit of a bad mood, and after the two academicians Shu and Hu refused to listen to their dissuasion, only For the sake of sighing—anyone who knew the details of last night's palace change knew that Fan Xian never used the most sinister means to deal with the most noble people.
The trace of the sword mark still remaining on the queen mother's neck is the most powerful evidence.
Fan Xian gently tidied up the collar of the queen mother's towering phoenix suit, carefully took off a strand of hair, and said in a harmonious voice: "Sure enough... the queen mother still has to wear formal clothes to have enough shocking power. It's not in vain that I wasted earlier." Time to order those old nuns to dress you up."
The Empress Dowager turned her head abruptly, and boundless hatred suddenly appeared in her old and tired eyes, as if she wanted to swallow Fan Xian up.
Fan Xian didn't even look at her, and whispered in her ear, "I also know that being unable to speak is painful, and taking my medicine is also painful, but think about it, you guys always The Li family deserves this kind of retribution... I am punishing you on behalf of my mother."
