Chapter 358 Are You Trying to Rebel?
Tang Zhou has no place to watch things like Wei Zhaizi.

He was still sitting on the grand teacher's chair, not moving at all, not even daring to raise his head.

He didn't know how to face the city gate guards.

Those defenses have been controlled by the soldiers, or they are stunned, puzzled, or angry.

This is also normal.

In their eyes, the one who led troops into Qiyang City was not a traitor, so what was it?
Even if they didn't recognize Marquis Yongning and Duke Ding, judging by their posture, they must be the army returning from Feimen Pass.

The guards were gagged and unable to make a sound, they could only stare at Tang Cho, wanting him to talk about the situation.

After all, Tang Cho is their prefect of Qi Yang!

Tang Cho still didn't look up, he caught a glimpse of the sprawling foot of the city wall from the corner of his eye, and he was extremely distressed.

What did you think before?

He just didn't want Marquis Yongning and the others to enter the city, so he chose to go out of the city with the eldest princess.

Once he found something was wrong, he retreated to the city and defended it.

With the city wall, even if the Marquis of Yongning and the others make trouble, Qi Yang can still defend it, and the imperial court cannot sit idly by.

However, after thinking about it, the facts did not match everything he imagined.

This city wall is useless in front of Yongning Hou and others.

Using his Tang chip as a brick, it opened with a light tap.

The gods were finally about to fight in his city, and it didn't count if they went into battle by themselves, and they brought a bunch of heavenly soldiers and generals with them.

Tang Cho gave up resistance early on, and he will not stand up now.

Lin Fan led people to escort the group of them to the government office, but Tang Cho had no objection.

It's better than going outside Yan's house and facing Yan's up and down.

On the other side, Princess Pingyang and Marquis Yongning led troops through half of the city.

Soldiers entered the city wantonly, causing fear in the hearts of all the people in Qiyang. They closed their doors and windows one after another. Except for those who dared to peek through the gaps, the rest hid.

The boy who was sent by the sixth old master to see the situation also found something wrong.

He hurried back to the mansion to report.

"It's not good!" He rushed into the gate, and when he entered the front hall, his ankle staggered on the threshold, and managed to avoid falling, so he rushed to the flower hall with his hands and feet, "It's not good!"

Everyone inside turned to look at him.

The sixth old man frowned.

"What's wrong?" one person asked, "What's wrong, so anxious?"

The boy was panting so badly, he coughed heavily while covering his throat, his face turned red and purple.

After finally slowing down a bit, he said: "The eldest princess leads the troops into the city, and they are coming this way!"

As soon as the voice fell, several people stood up from their chairs.

The sixth old man did not move.

His second son, Yan Cui, was flustered, and hurriedly said to the sixth old man, "Father, please say something!"

The sixth old man clasped his hand on the armrest, his veins bulging: "Where's Tang Chiu? Where are the other officials? What about the government soldiers?"

"Tang Zhifu seems to have sprained his ankle, and was carried back without saying a word," the young servant hurriedly said, "I seem to have seen two fellow prefects from a distance, too busy to see clearly.

The eldest princess entered the city with her front foot, and immediately ordered the soldiers to arrest the guards with her back foot.

In the blink of an eye, the entire city defense was replaced with their men.

The young one saw that the situation was not good, so he hurried back to report. "

After Yan Cui heard it, he cursed: "What a Tang Chou, why did he just surrender like this?"

Qiyang City is not a small town. There are six gates in the city, and there are rules and regulations for city defense and dispatch.

To be able to control the entire city defense in an instant, in addition to force and speed, one must also be very familiar with the layout of the city defense.

Even if it wasn't Tang Cho, it was the officials in the Yamen who knew about the defense who sold the news.

Yan Cui's cousin, Yan Wei, was also furious, and said, "I said long ago that the Eldest Princess' words cannot be trusted, and you still let her dictate in Qi Yang!"

The sixth old master gritted his teeth: "Then tell me, what reason and qualification does our Yan family have to not let her dictate in Qi Yang?"

That's the eldest princess.

Among the sons and daughters of the first emperor, besides the emperor, the eldest princess is the only one who is still alive.

She insisted that she was innocent, not to mention that the Yan family couldn't control her, neither the emperor nor the empress dowager could be hard on her, they had to let the guards of honor come to invite her, and if she didn't go back, she had to let her go.

Her identity is the best amulet.

Even if they have doubts about what the eldest princess said, they must hold their noses and admit it.

Originally, I thought that the Yan family had no other things to catch, and the only one that could not be caught by the Eldest Princess wandering around in the mansion...

The same goes for going out of town today.

If there is a conflict with the Marquis of Yongning and the others, then go ahead and make trouble on your own.

If she was in the same group, if she wanted to rebel with Marquis Yongning, she should continue to head east, pointing directly at the imperial city.

Qiyang City and Qiyang Mansion are just passing places.

The sixth old master didn't expect that the eldest princess would ask Qin Yin to borrow troops. With the soldiers and horses in hand, she immediately entered the city.

Why?
Qin Yin and Lin Fan have long been traitors, are An Beihou and Feng Zhong crazy too?
Their family members are still in the capital!

Are they not afraid that their family members will be arrested if they do something that is equivalent to rebellion, such as soldiers and horses entering the city without reason?
"Go," he said angrily, "go out and have a look."

After finishing speaking, the sixth old man walked out quickly, and the others followed behind him.

While walking, he turned his head and said to Yan Cui: "Don't show your face, if the situation is wrong later, you go and inform others to go through the tunnel."

Yan Cui responded hurriedly.

Before they reached the gate, they heard the sound of footsteps outside.

The steward held the peg against the door, as anxious as ants on a hot pot, saw the group of them coming, with a mournful face, said: "Outside..."

The sixth old man ignored it, took a step forward, and looked out through the crack of the door.

The doorway is bright.

Many soldiers held torches.

Standing at the forefront is Princess Pingyang.

Beside her, there was an old man, tall and strong, with eyes like copper bells and a fierce expression.

The sixth old master is very recognizable, Yongning Hou Qinyin.

He took a step back, signaled the steward to remove the embolus, opened the door, and the sixth old man walked out with a cane.

Outside, Marquis Yongning also looked at the Sixth Old Master.

Yan's main house is not small, just after confirming that the southeast, north, and west are well fenced, the old Hou Ye was about to kick the door, but the door opened by himself.

The little old man who came out looked worried, and the children who followed behind had fear and anxiety written all over their faces.

"It's really unbearable."

Yongning Hou commented in his heart.

None of these juniors are great.

It's just this little old man with a bit of courage.

The Sixth Old Master looked straight at Princess Pingyang and said, "What do you mean? Without the king's order, you lead troops into Qiyang City and surround my house. Are you really going to rebel?"

"Rebellion?" The eldest princess sneered, and said sharply: "My surname is Zhao, and I am the eldest princess of Da Zhou, why should I rebel?

You, the Yan family, used your status as a foreign relative to open private mines, conceal production, and hoarded a large amount of money that should have belonged to the national treasury.

Are you trying to rebel? "
