The solemn golden bell and jade chime were struck closely and rapidly frequently, and the leisurely sound that should have been there now turned into a life-threatening echo.
The echoes inside and outside the palace echoed in the ears of civil and military officials for a long time.
Liang Shaoguang's personal bodyguard Ji Bo saw the tense situation in the court, and all the officials retreated to join forces.
He knelt down and saluted and stopped in front of Liang Shaoguang: "Your Highness, please return to the palace first."
Needless to say, Liang Shaoguang also saw that there was about to be a bloody battle in this palace. He just glanced at Xiao Mubai with hatred, wondering why every time he appeared, he always brought bad troubles.
Ji Bo stood up, waved, led a group of eunuchs and personal attendants, surrounded Liang Shaoguang and retreated to the back door.
When Gu Younian saw him leaving, he felt that Liang Shaoguang was once again smart. He also kept manpower with Concubine Gu. Since Xiao Mubai dared to enter the palace, he must have come prepared. Now was the time to fight for strength.
As soon as the golden bells and jade chimes stopped, there were dense footsteps outside the hall.
Just when Xu Jing was forcing Huang Fu, the Minister of Punishment, to return to the palace, the officials quietly moved behind Xiao Mubai.
Now hearing such footsteps, Baiguan began to move in small steps again, leaning towards the back of Gu Younian.
Gu Younian himself stepped forward and calmly distanced himself from Xiao Mubai. He was suddenly swept behind him just now. Gu Younian was worried that when the soldiers came in, he would threaten him to survive.
At this moment... Liang Shaoguang, who had just left through the back door, walked backwards and returned to the ministers' sight.
The guard had fallen to the ground, and only a few weak eunuchs were left, forming a semicircle behind him. The only one forcing him to retreat was a man in gray.
Before Gu Younian had time to ask what was going on, the soldiers outside had already entered the Chongde Hall in an orderly manner and lined up in order.
But the person leading the troops was Qiao Mozhi, the second son of the Qiao family.
The soldiers who were originally thought to be members of the Gu family naturally became soldiers of the Qiao family.
The ones who were last seen entering the palace by Qiao Jiabing were the loyal ministers who had been under house arrest under the supervision of Gu Younian.
The group of ministers surrounded Liang Shaoxuan and slowly walked into the Chongde Hall. The sound of footsteps shattered Liang Shaoguang's dream and left Gu Younian puzzled. In just an hour, why did such an earth-shaking event happen? Variety.
On such a cold day, in the vast and cold Chongde Hall, only the faint morning light shines through the windows, spreading a thin layer of warm orange sunshine on the ground.
Just like Gu Younian changed the royal power the night before, Xiao Mubai just followed the same pattern.
For Xiao Mubai, the palace coup in the Liang Kingdom was actually much easier than the bloody battle in the Xiao Kingdom.
Although Liang Shaoguang was elected as the prince by hundreds of officials, he was nothing more than a puppet with no real power.
In this regard, Liang Shaoguang can't even compare to Xiao Yanjun.
After all, his fourth brother was good at winning people's hearts. He had been running the court for many years, and he was followed by a group of die-hard ministers.
In addition to being arrogant and domineering, Liang Shaoguang also used his power to bully others.
Gu Fei was not as deep-minded as a crazy woman like Li Fei, and Gu Younian was not as deep as Shi Fuqiu, who was just a civil servant. Now, the official title of Co-organizer of the University is really ironic.
Ever since the grand fireworks were set off at Tinglan Water Tower last night, all the hidden threads in Tianlu Kyoto have started to move.
Xiao Mubai himself was not idle either. He knew that Luo Kui was the one left behind by Yue Feng Luan, so he asked Raven to capture him.
One thing is that Xiao Mubai did not lie to Gu Younian, and Luo Kui really didn't reveal anything. It was just that Xiao Mubai pretended to be his identity and asked Gu Xiangpei out. Everything after that was Gu Xiangpei's fault. The explanation of ten.
The Gu family's army brought back from the Western Regions was divided into two. Those in the capital were given to Nian Heng, and those in the palace were given to Gu Xiangpei.
Xian Li got Nian Heng's token, and Xiao Mubai himself got Gu Xiangpei's token.
With Nian Heng's token, those loyal and good ministers who had been detained for a long time were released, including Qiao Mansion.
When the Qiao family army left the Qiao Mansion, they naturally replaced the Gu family soldiers in the palace.
The ministers who had surrendered to Gu Younian and held power inside and outside the palace were beaten out of their reach, and at the same time, Xiao Mubai transferred their power to those loyal ministers who had been lifted from the ban.
Therefore, this palace change is full of waves and undercurrents, but it is not bloody.
The most important thing is that Xiao Mubai can proceed so smoothly. Except for his original power, other powers are in a dormant state. They are not biased towards Gu Younian. They are even waiting for Xiao Mubai to wake up. .
Although Xiao Mubai had no use for them, he could do things more smoothly because of their silence.
After all, this is Liang State, not Xiao State.
Although General Qiao finally obeyed the king's order and left this moment to Xiao Mubai, he also secretly prepared a backup plan, so that if Xiao Mubai was really in trouble, the Liang Kingdom would really change.
"By God's blessing, the king's edict says..." Liang Shaoxuan's side had already begun to read out the edict.
Xiao Mubai knew that what followed was just a routine compliment, and he had no intention of staying in Chongde Hall anymore. He just walked towards Gu Younian, who had his head held high but his face looked particularly puzzled.
"Young Master Qiao has good tactics, but our Gu family will not suffer a total defeat." Although Gu Younian faced defeat, his momentum still remained. He was not from a century-old family and could not possess such a calm and restrained temperament.
It's a pity that once it collapses, it will eventually be destroyed.
"Do you think I came here specially to show off to you?" Xiao Mubai's face was calm and his voice was cold.
Gu Younian still had a sharp light in his eyes. He raised his head half-way, staring at him closely and said: "Zisong still holds the real army of the Qiao family in his hands. When he learns the news, he will definitely fight back to Kyoto and wipe out the Liang Kingdom with blood." .”
"I have some bad news just now, I didn't have time to tell you." Xiao Mubai's facial features were tough and cold, looking inhumane, but at this moment, his face showed a bit of a spring mountain smile.
However, under his smile, the originally sharp light in Gu Younian's eyes gradually softened.
"Gu Zisong was captured alive by King Mo's army." Xiao Mubai opened his thin lips with a hint of smile again, like the last straw, completely crushing Gu Younian's arrogant posture and destroying his last hope. Hope.
Xiao Mubai watched as the light in Gu Younian's eyes disappeared little by little, until finally he lowered his eyes completely dimly.
He looked at the tall and tall Qiao Mozhi standing next to Liang Shaoguang. This was his nominal second brother in the Liang Kingdom. In fact, he was not simple at all.
Even with Gu Xiangpei's token, it is not easy to regain control of the entire palace in such a short period of time without making any noise.
Xiao Mubai couldn't help but sigh: "Even if Gu Zisong is not captured alive, do you think he can really use the king's orders to command the Qiao family's army?"
