The Seventh Prince said sadly: "Then I will have to bear the reputation of being unfilial." After saying that, he raised his hand, and hundreds of guards with swords and armor rushed out of the hall. The Royal Forest Army was detained by the troops who rushed out at some point. The emperor did not expect such a sudden appearance, but no one in the hall dared to move. The Queen Mother remained calm, and the ministers Nonuo were silent.
There was a chilling smell in the air. The emperor stared coldly at the seventh prince in front of him, his body stiff under the bright yellow dragon robe. Fu Yunxi had only been dead for two days, and these people were ready to take action, or they had been planning for a long time, but now they finally dared to take action. The seventh prince raised his lips: "Father, tell me, where is the military talisman?"
In the understatement, the murderous intention is fully revealed.
It was as if the air had solidified, and everyone held their breath. The emperor stepped back step by step, and the prince pressed tightly against each other. There was no trace of affection between father and son. This is the royal family, this is father and son. There is no warmth, no relaxation, only power and blade.
"If I say no..." the emperor said solemnly. Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the seventh prince: "Father, I have to take it myself."
He raised his hand, and all the guards outside rushed in.
But outside the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city still couldn't resist. Wave after wave of Xirong soldiers rushed up. They were extremely fierce and completely desperate. For a time, a large number of soldiers who had always had the upper hand on the battlefield felt the strength of the enemy for the first time. But the crisis has not been resolved. More and more Xirong soldiers came over, and the city gate seemed to be unable to withstand it, but the Xirong people became more and more courageous as they fought. They seemed to have known the formations of a large number of soldiers for a long time, and they were able to break the formations extremely quickly. A large number of reinforcements have not yet arrived, and more and more soldiers are falling. The person guarding the city is a veteran who is over 60 years old. This time Xirong suddenly sent troops, and he took the initiative to volunteer. He was originally a general who defended the city, and had made many meritorious deeds on the battlefield, but he was already old, and such a torment was already too much to bear.
He calmed down, suddenly slammed the spear in his hand to the ground, and shouted loudly: "I am with you in the city!" After roaring, he rushed into the enemy army with the spear in his hand. When the soldiers accompanying the army saw it, their eyes turned red and they immediately rushed towards the enemy while shouting the same words. This army had been on the battlefield before and had faced off against the Xirong people, but it had never encountered such a tragic situation before them. It would be great if King Xuanqing and General Cheng were here. They are Shura on the battlefield. Even if they stop here without doing anything, they will immediately inspire the infinite morale of the soldiers. The enemy will be frightened when they see them, but now King Xuanqing has died of illness, and General Cheng is missing. The remaining few young generals in the imperial court have little experience, and the rest are greedy for life and afraid of death. Facing the Xirong soldiers who are well-prepared, they really have no chance of winning. God is going to destroy a lot of them!
The brief impact did not bring much hope to the large number of soldiers. In an instant, there were sword lights and sword shadows everywhere, soldiers wailing, blood splashing everywhere, screams and cries. Despair and vitality, blood dyed the sunset red, the large city gates finally cracked under the attacks of the Xirong people again and again.
city! broken!
As soon as thousands of troops and horses descended, the Xirong people's eyes immediately shot out with surprise, and they swarmed towards the city gate. Once inside the capital, they can do whatever they want. These executioners will kill all the people in the capital, steal their treasures, kidnap their wives and daughters, and occupy this land! They will treat a large number of people as their slaves without mercy!
But at this moment, a loud bugle and the sound of drums suddenly came from a distance. The soldiers of Xirong looked together and saw the sound of countless galloping horse hooves coming in the wind. On the tall horse at the front was a man wearing silver armor and holding a long sword. It was Cheng Lei who had been missing for many days.
But not to mention anything else, just seeing Cheng Lei made some of the Xirong soldiers who were leading the battle a little frightened. But Cheng Lei pointed the sword in his hand without hesitation and shouted: "My sons, kill all these bandits, charge!"
The horses' hooves kicked up billowing smoke and rushed toward their faces. This army was so tough, uniform, and highly morale that the Xirong soldiers who had just won were unable to relax, and the army was disrupted by the cavalry. Once an army is disrupted, it is much easier to attack. However, in just a short moment of burning incense, the Xirong soldiers who had been extremely arrogant before suddenly became a mess and retreated without their helmets and armor.
Cheers rang out at the top of the city, and the soldiers were overjoyed. Cheng Lei stood on the city gate and laughed cheerfully. As a general, the happiest thing is to win a battle. This battle was really enjoyable, and Cheng Lei himself was very happy. After holding it in for so long, I can finally do it. I wonder how it is over there in Yunxi
But he said Jinluan Palace.
Countless guards with swords were pointing their swords at the emperor. The shining blades were really dazzling, and the emperor's face was ashen. The Queen Mother patted the Emperor's back unhurriedly, as if to please him: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious, Ai Jia sees it, just give the military talisman to His Majesty the Seventh Highness. This country is still a big country, always It cannot be taken away by the Xirong people. If you are still unwilling to give the military talisman to His Highness the Seventh Prince, once the Xirong people attack the city, it will be ruined."
He just wants to seize power, why bother to say it so grandly? The emperor sneered: "My vast empire? I'm afraid if I give the military talisman to Lao Qi, this empire will really become a Xirong people."
As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother's expression changed slightly, but the change was very small. Soon it was back to normal, and she smiled slightly: "The emperor is joking, but the emperor is holding the military talisman like this, and he doesn't seem to be a wise king. After all, His Highness the Seventh Highness is also your flesh and blood, what are you worried about?" Things are going on now. In one step, the Queen Mother was completely sure. It no longer mattered whether the Emperor was willing or not. The Xirong people had already entered the capital, and the Royal Forest Army was also under control. Their people were already guarding outside the Jinluan Palace, and the palace was in front of them. She has been waiting for this day for more than ten years, and now that Fu Yunxi is dead, she has nothing to worry about. Everything went smoothly. Once the seventh prince came to power, if he was obedient, he would be made a puppet emperor. If he was disobedient, he would not be allowed to be a puppet. After all, the seventh prince is not her biological grandson. Even if he is her biological grandson, she will eradicate anyone who opposes her without leaving any room.
The emperor just looked at the flying dragon on the corner of the seventh prince's robe. This man was his biological son. Although he was the most ruthless emperor, it was still difficult to accept when the father and son killed each other happened to him. Whether it is a subject's separation from the king, or a son's betrayal of his father. The seventh prince's actions had deeply broken the emperor's heart. How could he hand over the military power? Once handed over, he would really have no way out. The seventh prince was ruthless and would not show mercy to the prince. And the Queen Mother kept saying that she was not a wise king, even her own flesh and blood would be suspicious, wasn't it just to find a perfect excuse. Historically, the first thing a person who successfully forced a woman to do in that position would do was to erase all the stains on herself and prevent herself from making any big mistakes in the annals of history.
