"No! They're coming for us!" In the crowd, someone shouted first, and then voices came up one after another.
Originally, many people had prepared their swords and prepared to fight these cavalry to the death, but whoever was the first in the crowd shouted "We can't beat them! Run!" drove most of the people, except for one Except for a small number of people, looking at the mighty iron cavalry, most of them didn't even have the intention of resisting, so they just threw away their helmets and armor and scattered away.
It's just that they reacted too late.
Under the leadership of Xing Minzhi, the iron cavalry rushed into the Supreme Emperor's men and horses like broken bamboos. Those who insisted on staying in place to fight for the Supreme Emperor were even directly turned into flesh by the horse's hooves.
Under the discord on the side of the Supreme Emperor, this killing can be said to be one-sided. Obviously, the Supreme Emperor had an army of 30,000, but he was beaten to the ground by the 5,000 cavalry led by Xing Minzhi.
Speaking of which, this was also unexpected for Xing Minzhi. He originally prepared 20,000 soldiers to follow behind just in case, but he didn't want it to be useless at all. This matter was directly solved by 5,000 cavalry.
I don't know whether it is better to say that Chu Yan trained soldiers well, or that the emperor's people are really good.
In short, this matter that had been planned for several years was resolved overnight.
When Xing Minzhi beheaded the last enemy general, it happened to be the moment when dawn broke in the sky.
When the cock crowed the next day, the news that the Supreme Emperor had passed away and that someone outside the city had taken advantage of the chaos to rebel but was suppressed reached the capital at the same time.
That same night, Chu Mu led officers and soldiers to break into the mansions of more than 20 civil servants at the same time, and put them in jail for rebellion.
And Chu Yan's death was also turned into a rumor deliberately spread by the rebels with ulterior motives.
It can be said that since the emperor came to the throne, this is the most serious accident in terms of nature and scale. The officials involved accounted for 20% of the officials in the capital.
Even though the emperor's statement to the outside world was full of mistakes, even if someone with a heart found the key, none of them dared to say anything. The emperor has been in power for more than ten years, and the imperial power cannot be easily shaken by others.
The emperor said that whoever rebelled was a rebellion, and it cannot be refuted or questioned.
Su Yan didn't sleep all night, when she heard the news, she just let go of her heart.
As for the people in Prince Jin's Mansion who were sad all afternoon and one night yesterday, they couldn't believe it when they heard the news, especially Zhong Ning, after seeing Chu Yan come out of the house, she went up and twisted it. Suddenly, he kept scolding him for deceiving people to tears.
In any case, this incident came quickly and ended quickly.
Before many people had time to react, everything had already come to an end. After this day, the prisons in the capital were full for a while, and even the teaching workshops were filled with those rebellious officials and female relatives. Of course, this is a later story.
When Su Yan came out, she happened to see a bunch of people around the yard, all staring at Chu Yan like monkeys, especially Zhong Ning, standing in front of Chu Yan, crying and laughing, swollen Don't mention the funny eyes, and Xia Mochu is not much better than Zhong Ning, plus Xia Jiu'er, the three of them are like three goldfish.
If in the past, Su Yan would have smiled when she saw Zhong Ning and the others, but today she was not in the mood, she walked up to Chu Yan and said softly, "I heard that the Supreme Emperor is gone, I want to go and see."
No matter what happens later, at least when she was young, the Supreme Emperor really cared for her, Su Yan is a very nostalgic person.
Chu Yan nodded: "Okay, it just so happens that I have to report back to the emperor."
Su Yan ordered the servants to take Zhong Ning and the others to rest. The two were about to leave when they heard a breathless voice behind them: "Wait for me, I'll go too."
They were afraid that they would really scare the Han family and the eldest princess of Jinyang, but Su Yan had fully trusted them, so after the incident, they were afraid that people would find out that they were in a bad mood, so they all pretended to pass out.
Su Yan turned her head to look at Princess Jinyang. It was just overnight, but she felt that Princess Jinyang had a lot more white hair on her sideburns.
Su Yan supported the eldest princess of Jinyang, and was silent all the way.
After entering the palace, Chu Yan sent Su Yan and Princess Jinyang to the emperor's bedroom before going to the imperial study.
Before entering the palace, Su Yan heard bursts of crying, entered the room, and saw the concubines and princes and daughters kneeling on the ground in the room, all crying out of breath.
But Su Jian was sitting on the sidelines, not to mention tears, she didn't even bother to make a sad expression.
Seeing Su Yan and Princess Jinyang approaching, Su Jian stood up to greet her. When the people in the room saw Princess Jinyang coming in, they all stood up to greet her.
Princess Jinyang couldn't hide the sadness on her face. Su Yan helped her to the Supreme Emperor's bed. Looking at the Supreme Emperor, Princess Jinyang was both sad and angry. She sighed: "I can't figure it out, he made trouble. For the rest of my life, what the hell are you trying to do!"
Su Yan has been quietly accompanying Princess Jinyang, seeing the Supreme Emperor lying on the bed who has really completely left the stage of history, feeling quite emotional in her heart.
Speaking of it, the Taishanghuang was killed by his own obsession.
If he hadn't always missed that woman back then, he wouldn't have been deceived by the King of Qin back then, let alone what he has today. The world is tricky, but now, it is impossible to say whether what the Supreme Emperor did was right or wrong.
Su Jian ordered someone to bring a chair, and Princess Jinyang sat down, and asked for a handkerchief to wipe the face and hands of the Supreme Emperor herself.
Taking advantage of this time, Su Jian took Su Yan's hand and asked in a low voice, "Did you not sleep last night? I saw that your eyes are blue now."
Su Yan shook her head, and whispered: "I didn't sleep, Brother Mu took charge of the business for the first time last night, I was thinking about him, how could I sleep."
There was a trace of envy in Su Jian's eyes: "It's still your family's elder brother Mu who is promising. He's only old enough to help your family's Chu Yan relieve his worries. Let's look at our family, alas!"
Su Yan smiled helplessly: "If the prince hears this, you should say that you are partial, how can this royal family be like ours, if the emperor releases power now, then the palace will be in chaos immediately? "
Su Jian listened with a smile: "I don't understand this truth, why don't I just want to compliment you?"
"Go, I need your compliment?" Su Yan glanced at Su Jian, then looked at the two concubines who were dealing with affairs in the room: "Why did you bring them here?"
Su Jian stroked the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin on her head, and said with a smile: "The free labor is not for nothing. Anyway, no matter what they do, the credit must be credited to me. I am happy to be free."
Su Yan didn't understand why Su Jian chose such a life before, but now she understands that Su Jian is the one who understands the most among all of them. If Rong Yang can see half as well as Su Jian, he won't be like this now.
Looking at the relaxed Su Jian, Su Yan said: "Okay, I'll go and persuade my mother, you should be busy first, and then talk later when you have time."
Su Jian nodded, and after Su Yan immediately followed, she looked at the concubines, the emperor's concubines, and princes and daughters who were kneeling on the ground and crying like their dead fathers, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
These people, they can't get the right place when they flatter, and they still want to compete with her
What a joke.
