Chapter 588 Palace Chaos
Just a moment ago, it felt like a dead city on the imperial city wall. Countless bows and crossbows appeared. The people wearing the bows and crossbows were dressed in different clothes. There are eunuchs in palace-style robes, and there are also imperial guards wearing imperial guard robes.

Although the clothes of these people are messy, their expressions are similarly calm and dignified.

At this moment, the pawns who had been hiding in various parts of the imperial city completely tore off their camouflage and exposed themselves to the public.

These people... Commander Zheng's heart tightened when he saw it, and he guessed their identities almost immediately.

"Yang Yan's people!" Commander Zheng exclaimed, "These are Yang Yan's people!"

Yang Yan helped the second highness and the princess of the people to hold the princess and the grandson hostage. No matter whether he really wanted to help these two people or wanted to disturb the imperial city, it was impossible to stop there.

Otherwise, what is the difference between the Second Highness and the folk princess and being thrown out to die?
"It's troublesome!" Commander Zheng held the flag in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then picked up the bull head trumpet beside him and blew it.

Compared with people from the Su family, Yang Yan had to deal with Yang Yan's people first.

If His Royal Highness and Princess really win, it will be a consequence that Mr. Wang will never accept.

The blaring of the bull's head awakened not only Commander Zheng's men who were ambushing under the eaves, but also the imperial guards waiting for orders in the Piji Hall.

How can there be the sound of bull's head at this time?Qi Qi, the commander inside and outside the hall, changed his face, and then subconsciously waved the flag in his hand.

The imperial guards in the palace rushed out of the Piji Palace, and the arrow crossbows on the palace wall also turned into a rain of arrows and hit here.

Commander Zheng was in a cold sweat watching this scene.

The palace of the imperial city was built by the top craftsmen in the entire Central Plains, and the Imperial Army inside and outside the Piji Hall would not have nowhere to hide.

After reacting, except for the first group of forbidden soldiers who rushed out, the rest of the forbidden soldiers quickly found a place to avoid the rain of arrows.

No one appeared, and the rain of arrows was stopped in an instant, but the direction of the bow and crossbow was still pointing to the inside and outside of Piji Hall, and it never moved away.

The entire Miyagi fell into a strange confrontation.

If this goes on...it won't work!
The clairvoyance in Commander Zheng's hand turned to the second private highness and the princess who had already exited Concubine Yang's dormitory not far away, such absurd and weird confrontation... When the group of people retreated here, would they just watch them leave?

Do not!No, you can't do that!We must think of a way to break the situation as soon as possible.

Clairvoyance turned to those who were holding bows and crossbows not far away. Among them, the guards of the imperial guards who were tall and capable of fighting with each other accounted for only a small part of them, and most of them were ordinary palace people who did not have an advantage when fighting with each other. The maid of the same palace.

If these people did not have the bows and crossbows in their hands, they would be vulnerable. Therefore, their preparations can be described as "terrible"!

The crossbow arrows on the wall piled up like a mountain. If they really had to wait for them to exhaust the crossbow arrows around them, I'm afraid the Second Highness and the others would have escaped from the imperial city long ago.

and so……

"Waiting is not the solution, we must find a way to get around behind them as soon as possible, and restrain these people!" Commander Zheng said, his eyes fell on his own people inside and outside Piji Hall, and he shook hands hanging on both sides of his body, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to find so many people for a while..."

"Commander!" At this moment, Zhou Fang on the side said, "There is still a team of subordinates on duty here, resting in the side hall, you can take a detour."

Commander Zheng was overjoyed when he said a word: "Really?"

Zhou Fang nodded, but after hesitating for a while, he said again: "It's just a detour like this, even if you hurry up and talk less, it will take some effort, but there..." Zhou Fang said, pointing to this side His Royal Highness and others who were within the range of the fire, said, "They are coming soon!"

The person in command is most worried about one thing and loses another. Zhou Fang's pointing reminded Commander Zheng instantly, and his face changed suddenly: "Trouble!"

Time is running out, the Second Highness and the others must have arrived here first.

Therefore, bloodshed is inevitable!The order he accepted was to stop the Second Highness and the folk princess from leaving the palace no matter the cost, even if... the one who stays is a dead person!

Commander Zheng gripped the command flag on his body.

……

……

The palace gates of the imperial city are still tightly closed, blocking all prying eyes from outside!

Wang San and several officials were pacing back and forth in front of the palace gate restlessly.

Originally, he was going to go up to the hall to watch with Commander Zheng and others, but before he could go, he was persuaded to come down.

Commanding operations is not his forte at all, he is an old man with no strength to restrain a chicken, and I am afraid that Commander Zheng will be distracted to take care of him and add to the chaos.

At first, there were tough old people who wanted to watch the battle, but the overall situation was already settled, and the culprit was almost caught, but the spectators were controlled by the culprit and became hostages, helping the culprit to escape.

Because of considering this step, Wang San did not enter it.

While waiting anxiously for the result, the officials around him suddenly said: "My lord, An Guogong is here!"

Before Wang San could respond, another official exclaimed: "General Li is here!"

"And Master Zhou!"

"Thank you sir!"

……

There was a lot of exclamation, and many carriages came here surrounded by guards.

Seeing the carriages coming from all directions, Wang San was not surprised.

Such a big event happened, but the news was slow, and I was afraid that I couldn't sit still when I received the news, and rushed over here in a hurry.

Although today is not the day of the court meeting, in front of the palace gate, senior officials from all the court halls of the Great Zhou came one after another, which is no less than the situation of the court meeting in the past.

"Master Wang, I heard that the Second Highness and the others have come out of the prison?"

"And took the young grandson and princess as hostages?"

"How is it? Has anyone been rescued?"

……

How can these old foxes in the court sit still at this time?They all came to Wang San and asked.

The veins on Wang San's forehead popped out when you asked me every word, and I just felt that the colleagues who used to be full of witty words were no less noisy than those gossip women and idlers who sat on the threshold and sucked the soles of their shoes .

It's so noisy that people's heads are getting bigger!

"I still don't know the situation inside, but the two Highnesses have indeed come out of the prison!" Wang San said, "Don't ask, everyone, I don't know what's going on inside."

But such a big matter, how can he tell those senior officials to shut up if he doesn't know about it.

The problems continued to crop up.

"How did they get out?"

"Where are the forbidden troops?"

"How did the Second Highness and the others kidnap the young grandson and the princess in front of His Majesty, won't His Majesty stop it?"

……

This sentence finally hit the point.

Wang San rubbed his aching forehead, looked at the person who asked the question—Gong An, and said: "Because His Majesty who is in court these days is a substitute, and our Majesty went to the front line to supervise the battle in person, so the victory will be reported in these days Frequent!"

One sentence caused an uproar again, and the voices of chatter rang out again.

Some people want to revise the letter immediately to ask His Majesty to return, some people say it's no wonder His Majesty is lazy in political affairs these days, and some people say it's no wonder that His Majesty has ignored his memorials for so many days...

All kinds of complaints and suggestions are making people's heads hurt.

"Okay, stop arguing!" Looking at the noisy officials, Wang San took the medicine jar from the people around him, and swallowed a pill to avoid the heat. , Wang San calmed down, and said, "I don't know what's going on inside, I'll just wait here!"

These colleagues in the past are really noisy, once the palace door is closed, how can he know what's going on inside?
"My lord," An Guogong, who had just asked about the point, spoke again at this time. He looked at Wang San and asked, "How did the second highness and the princess hold the crown princess and the little grandson hostage? Anyone help?"

"Of course there are." Wang San nodded and said, "Borrowed the hand of the Su family to enter the palace, and then with the help of Yang Yan..." Halfway through the words, Wang San suddenly fell silent. Then, as if thinking of something, his face changed drastically, "Not good!"

The "not good" didn't mean Yang Yan's meddling, in fact, Yang Yan's meddling wasn't surprising at all, it's no wonder the old fox didn't play dirty tricks.

He thought of something else.

Yang Yan was indeed helping the Second Highness and the folk princess, but how could Yang Yan's original intention be to help these two people, if he was Yang Yan, it didn't matter if they were alive or dead, it might even be better if they were dead.

Compared with Su's family, they have to consider the safety of their little grandsons, but Yang Yan doesn't have to consider the lives of these people at all. Or, it is more beneficial for Yang Yan that all the emperor's heirs are dead now!

So...Yang Yan basically used the hands of those two people to lure out all the emperor's heirs. After they got together, it was inevitable... a huge killing situation would be laid in the imperial city!

Oops!Thinking of this, Wang San broke out in cold sweat, his eyes subconsciously looked into the imperial city, and the hands hanging on both sides of his body trembled subconsciously: Yang Yan's purpose was not to help anyone escape from the palace, but...

The sun was shining on Wang San's sweaty face, and someone sneered, "Master Wang's face is as ugly as a dead man!"

It's blue and white, and it's true that there is no blood at all.

But... how can you say that?The officials of Wang San's faction immediately glared angrily at the person who made the noise—Zhong Hui, and next to him was Prince Ji who had rushed over after hearing the news. He seemed to have met him on the road, so he came along along the way.

Zhong Hui, who was being carried on a stretcher, looked at the closed palace gate, but he didn't take it seriously: "Why are you so afraid of death? Just open the palace gate and have a look!"

The high-ranking officials and courtiers who were choking with one sentence almost unanimously stopped.

Hi...open?
But when he came, he had already heard that the forbidden army in the palace was confronting each other, not only that, Lord Wang also borrowed [-] officers and soldiers from Wucheng Bingmasi before he left.

It would be fine if it was only someone arranged by the Su family, but there are obviously more than one at the moment, Yang Yan, the oriole who fell at the end, is obviously planning to kill without distinction between you and me.

After a moment of silence, General Li stood up with one arm hanging, walked to the gate of the palace and shouted: "Get out of the way, open the door for me!"

You can still stand up at this kind of time... Even An Guogong couldn't help but glanced at him, with a look of surprise in his eyes: "Li Datou, although you said that the management of the house is a mess, you don't know right from wrong, you have a messy account, and you are still headstrong." Yes, it is a bit of loyalty to stand up at this time!"

General Li: "..."

Is An Guogong praising him or scolding him?
All the adults did not speak, only General Li shouted "Open the door", and the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate looked at Wang San with a pale face beside him: Is this gate open or not?
Wang San was still hesitating, but he heard someone from the side speak.

"You can open the door. After entering the imperial city, I will go to the Yanwu Building in the southeast corner. There is a giant bow and crossbow upstairs," Ji Chongyan who was speaking said this, paused, and looked at the officials who were looking towards him , smiled, and said, "The Yanwu building is tall, so you can see the situation near the Piji Hall clearly. The giant crossbow has a very long range. If it is... just in case."

All the officials present had heard about the power of this giant bow and crossbow. It was said that it was a thing used by His Majesty's army to suppress the army.When His Majesty fought the world back then, he shot the head of the stubborn rebel army with one arrow, and the victory was sealed with one arrow.

That being said, this suggestion is feasible.Moreover, there is still some distance between the Yanwu Building and the Piji Hall. If Yang Yan's people can really be called to come to the Yanwu Building to kill indiscriminately, the palace will be useless.

So... Wang San looked at the imperial guards guarding the city gate, and said, "Open the gate!"

It's useless to wait outside the palace gate, you should go to Yanwu Building to see the situation, even if the situation is extremely dire.

……

……

With a loud bang, the pillars that had withstood countless arrows and crossbows folded in the middle and broke, and a corner of the entire palace without support suddenly collapsed.

"The hall built by the best craftsmen is so vulnerable!" Just as they boarded the martial arts building, several officials who saw the situation here couldn't help but exclaimed.

Of course, this is not a problem with the main hall, but...

The sky was full of crossbow arrows shooting towards the hall like rain, such an attack is really too terrifying!

Most of the sensitive and eloquent officials in the court have never seen such a situation, and they couldn't help but covered their eyes in exclamation.

"What about this?"

"Is Yang Yan crazy?"

……

"He's not crazy!" Zhong Hui was also lifted up, seeing the tragic situation not far away, his eyes kept shining, "He used all the buried chess pieces to give it a go!"

"What can you do if you give it a go?" someone asked.

Zhong Hui glanced at the questioning official, pointed at the figure buried by the broken arrows, and said: "It's a little far away, I don't have clairvoyance, I can't see who it is. But, look at the person who was shot. The middle-aged people are also like a few adults, depending on the situation, I don’t know if they are dead or not? Even if they don’t die, they won’t be much better. No matter who comes out of Concubine Yang’s palace, it is beneficial to Yang Yan. It would be better if they were all dead!"

Hearing this sentence, everyone present changed their expressions: If everyone is dead...

At this moment, someone said: "The little grandson and the concubine are still alive, protected by the forbidden army and hiding under the broken wall."

Everyone looked over in search of prestige, but saw that Ji Chongyan, who had followed everyone, took out a clairvoyant from his bosom at some point, and was holding up the clairvoyant to look at the situation ahead.
