When the eldest prince was carried by Lao Xianyu and Xiao Huasheng to the front yard where the main entrance of the palace was located, what he saw was a scene of chaos.
On the wall, County Magistrate Xu and the wealthy families offered huge sums of money to encourage the red-turbaned men who had retaken the palace to try to climb over the wall with the help of ladders. The spinners in the palace had white cloth tied around their arms and fought back desperately on the simple wooden platforms built along the wall, but even so, some of them still slipped through the net - and even if they did land, they would still be chased and blocked by people who outnumbered them several times.
Often, several people with white cloth tied around their arms, holding sticks or spears, surrounded a strong man with a sword and a red scarf on his head, and the fight was quite brutal. Seven or eight people were lying on the ground, some motionless, some groaning in pain, and the ground was covered with blood.
Seeing this scene, the eldest prince suddenly felt dazed when he recalled the scene when the spinners unexpectedly attacked the palace and took him hostage.
The father was far away, the sky was high, and he had money in hand. His subordinates tried their best to curry favor with him, but he didn't care about those peasants at all. He was obsessed with beauty and couldn't extricate himself. He even deliberately met a beautiful woman on the street because the beauty sent to him was not good enough. As a result, he was dazzled by a graceful woman. Before he succeeded in getting close to her, Xian Yunhe showed up unexpectedly with his men.
And he, a dignified prince, was held hostage at knifepoint by that woman without even realizing it!
Those trusted guards wanted to save him, but he was so frightened by the sight of blood that he desperately ordered the guards to put down their weapons. As a result, the guards had no choice but to surrender. Under the threat of Xian Yunhe, he had to lead people into the palace, write a warrant, and transfer the 100 soldiers of the Ruiqi Battalion that sent him out of the capital. When he met them, he watched them drink the spiked wine.
But when all these threatening people were taken down one by one, Xian Yunhe, who had been a little polite to him, immediately turned hostile and beat him up! It was only then that he realized that this was not an ordinary conspiracy, and that the target was him!
At the moment, the eldest prince was also unsure whether the guy whose voice he felt was somewhat familiar was using Xian Yunhe to use him again. However, life and death came first, honor and disgrace came later, and he really didn't trust that bunch of incompetent officials and greedy wealthy people - if they could be more alert and realize the movements behind, he didn't think he would be so miserable!
Let him get through this first. Once he escapes, as a prince, how can he not be able to deal with a bunch of peasants
Therefore, when the old man beside him suddenly yelled, shocking many people to stop, the eldest prince couldn't help but shiver, and finally he mustered up the courage to shout loudly: "I am the eldest son of the emperor, Zheng Jun, everyone stop it!"
Seeing that Old Salted Fish and Little Peanut, who had been holding his arms, had let go of their hands, the feeling of thorns in his back finally eased a little, and he immediately started yelling.
"I was deceived by those corrupt officials and profiteers. They colluded with each other and blocked the channels of communication, so that I could not hear the voices of the people. I didn't know that many innocent people were desperate because of their suspension of work and business. Now someone just used drastic measures to see me. It's pure nonsense to say that I was held hostage and the palace was occupied by others!"
