Shu Blossoms

Chapter 224 Putting Down the Rebellion
Zheng Wei, Zhao Mingzhi and Mo You discussed the current situation inside and outside the city, and then wrote down their analysis and asked Mo You to find a way to send it to Tuoba Yu.

After discussing, they felt that the current situation in the city was only temporary. If King Qinghe and Tuobajing reacted, they would be relieved to join forces temporarily, and their advantages would disappear at that time.

Just now, I heard Mo You talk about the distribution of Wei's army. There are about 40 troops in Wei, and [-] troops are now guarding the border between Wei and Zhou in the hands of Xia Houqing's father Xia Houmiao.

Some time ago, other Xiongnu tribes in the northern border were about to move, and He Lianbo led an army of [-] to crusade, and now it was too late to return.

There are still [-] troops in the hands of the northern lord, the southern lord, and the general. It is said that most of the [-] troops were led by the general Murong Qian to negotiate with Hou Yan.

It is said that if the general Murong Qian returns to help, there will be time, but Murong Qian's attitude itself is unpredictable.

Except for the [-] troops inside and outside Pingcheng, the only one who can return to the capital now is Taiyuan Wang Tuobarui, the younger brother of Emperor Wei, who still has [-] elite soldiers.

These [-] elite soldiers were his private soldiers that the Wei Emperor had allowed him to do. At the beginning, the courtiers questioned this move as fear of breeding tigers, but for some reason, the Wei Emperor insisted on his own opinion. The King of Taiyuan has been holding a heavy army and watching over these years.

Therefore, Tuoba Yu not only dare not use this army, but also has to guard against it. If the news of Pingcheng reaches Taiyuan, and the king of Taiyuan sends his troops eastward, Tuoba Yu and Qinghe King He Bajing in the city may become mantises. With Cicada, King Taiyuan is the sparrow who wins to the end!

So it seems that the current situation is very good, but it is actually precarious.

Wangwang's opportunity was fleeting, and they felt that they should launch a general attack as soon as possible to control Pingcheng in the shortest possible time, and then Tuoba Yu ascended the throne to stabilize the situation.

And their thoughts coincided with Tuoba Yu's. When the sun went down the next day, and when the city was full of Kongming lanterns, Tuoba Yu gathered the army and launched a general attack on the south gate.

The city gates in the other three directions are mostly He Bajing's generals, who just had a fight with King Qinghe's army an hour ago due to various weird reasons.

Their generals ran to Shenhumen to complain but were all stopped outside. It was not that He Balun deliberately made things difficult for them, but that the current palace was surrounded by He Bajing's army, and the Changsheng Palace and the Empress Dowager's bedroom in the palace They were all sealed by King Qinghe.

Neither of them can get in.

And now King Qinghe in Changsheng Palace was besieged by several parties, the Queen Mother and He Bajing supported the Eighth Prince to succeed to the throne, King Qinghe couldn't do anything to them, he killed several attendants in a fit of rage, but spread his tyrannical reputation, Everyone knows that he is already at the end of his battle.

And the dying tiger is the scariest!
So when they were fighting among themselves, they all missed the best opportunity to counterattack outside the city. Tuoba Yu led an army of [-] to attack the city, while Bu Liugu led [-] soldiers who had no fighting spirit and did not persist for an hour at all.

Tuoba Yu's army drove straight in, and the other rebels in the city reacted and started to resist.

After the south gate was broken, Bu Liugu ran into the Shenhu Gate angrily with only a few dozen people left. When He Balun heard that the south gate was broken, he also followed him to Changsheng Palace in shock.

He Bajing and King Qinghe are willing to temporarily form an alliance against Tuoba Yu. After all, although their city gates are broken, the main force has not suffered much damage. As long as they gather a large army to occupy the palace, and the Queen Mother is still in their hands, they will still be able to survive. A chance to turn defeat into victory.

But Tuoba Yu didn't give them a chance. After entering the city, Tuoba Yu didn't rush to the palace immediately, but ordered Xia Houqing and Qiu Linxi to lead an army to surround the palace, and he took the late emperor's edict to parade around the city with Mo Qi. .

Five thousand soldiers held high torches and lined up in a long line, riding horses and walking slowly, reciting the emperor's last edict in unison. They went to the rebel camp first, and Tuoba Yu's order was that those who surrendered should not be blamed Those who resist will be killed without mercy!

Although their generals belonged to different factions, all the soldiers were still soldiers of the Great Wei, and the Emperor Wei was still the Lord of the Great Wei.

No one dared to disrespect the order, most of the soldiers immediately surrendered, but Tuoba Yu who was still hesitating showed his cold side, beheaded immediately!

The chaos in the city was quickly subsided by Thunder's means.

But Tuoba Yu had tasted the benefits of Zheng Wei's saying that he won't fight without fighting, and after he led his troops to the palace, he still left hundreds of people in the streets and alleys to sing the will!

The voice of the edict rang over Pingcheng all night. The people in Pingcheng, ranging from 80-year-old women and old men to three-year-old children, not only knew that the successor was the third prince Tuoba Yu, they also memorized the contents of the edict.

And the rebellion in the palace did not last too long, Tuoba Yu led his troops into the city, and discussed with the queen mother alone for a long time, as long as He Bajing and He Bayan surrendered and handed over their military power, they would not be held accountable for their treason. They will not be liquidated for today's affairs.

Now most of the rebels in the city have been taken back by Tuoba Yu, so saying this is just to show favor to the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother naturally felt grateful for Tuoba Yu, and personally persuaded He Bajing and his son to surrender.

As for King Qinghe, he had no strength to resist, and finally tried to commit suicide but was stopped by Tuoba Yu.

Although he killed the king and killed his father, it was after all the situation set up by Emperor Wei. Tuoba Yu temporarily imprisoned him in Jin Qinghe Prince's Mansion under Cui Yan's suggestion. Banned for life.

Until this time, the sudden civil strife in Wei Dynasty was settled down in less than a month.

The morning sun was shining, and the spring breeze was blowing. All the officials who had been locked up in the palace for two days and two nights finally came out of the Shenhu Gate with mutual support.

The dozens of scholars led by Cui Heng and Lu Zhao hid in the open space one mile outside the Shenhu Gate during the war, but they had the courage not to leave until they saw Cui Yan and the others come out.

Tuoba Yu also came to see them before entering the palace, and praised their courage and loyalty.

They looked at the future king and thought about the blueprint that Cui Yan had drawn for them, and they became more confident!
At this moment, they ran up laughing one after another, supporting their teachers.

They looked back at Humen. Although they were in a mess, their eyes were full of light.

Cui Yan and Liu Huan looked at them with satisfaction, Cui Yan smiled and patted his son next to him, his tone was calm but high, "Straighten your back, go home!"

And Zheng Wei, who had stirred up the wind and rain in Pingcheng before, disappeared.

She did not leave. After the army entered the city, she hoped that Tuoba Yu would keep He Bajing and He Bayan father and son in the palace until noon the next day, and borrowed Mo You and others to come to Mingyue Tower.

When they arrived, they saw Amu at the gate on the first floor.

"Uncle Amu" Zheng Wei called softly, she didn't know what to say, but today is their only chance to find out the secrets of Mingyue Tower,
She has to go in.

Amu glanced at her, turned around and walked inside without speaking.

Zheng Wei then followed in, and the others followed behind, and Jin Ye was going to reveal the secret of Mingyue Tower.
