No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 293 King Qin?

A fight broke out outside the gate of the Empress Dowager's palace, and naturally the whole palace could no longer keep quiet.

Although there are not many masters in the palace now, there are only the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Zhu in the harem.The concubines of Gaozu and the late emperor died, and those who were alive were moved to live in remote palaces, but there were still quite a few servants in the palace.

For a while, the lights in the palace also lit up.

Xue Ya was pacing back and forth in the hall, Empress Dowager Zhu was filled with fear and fright, at this moment she was sitting in a chair in a bit of embarrassment, looking sluggish.Her gaze kept following Xue Ya's figure, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly do something terrible.

Ever since Xueya sent someone to leave with Yizhi, she knew that there was no way out for her. At this moment, her heart was filled with fear and uneasiness.

Xue Ya frowned slightly, and her expression was slightly anxious.

There has been a fight in the palace of the empress dowager, but there is still no news from outside the palace.This means... Xie Yan's side may not be going well. If Xie Yan dies or is injured, the palace will pass the news to him as soon as possible.

Pavilion Master Mingyin had already fallen asleep with his eyes closed, Miss Qing still stood upright behind Pavilion Master Mingyin, motionless, as if she could stand like this for a whole night.

At this time, a crowd gradually gathered at the gate of the palace.

Tonight was already very chaotic, all the big and powerful families locked their doors behind closed doors to guard against their own safety.

Who would have thought that in the middle of the night, they would receive an order from the Empress Dowager, saying that the Prince Regent and Yu Mingqiu had colluded to blockade the Empress Dowager's bedroom, holding His Majesty hostage in order to plot wrongdoings.

The first reaction of everyone upon receiving this news was: Absurd!
But the Empress Dowager's decree in their hands is true, and so are the servants in the palace who delivered the decree. What's important is that even though they dawdled for a while, no one from the Regent's Palace came out to refute the rumors.

Not only the Prince Regent's Mansion, but even the Luo family closed their doors to thank guests.

This has to make people wonder whether General Luo is also on the regent's side?Or General Luo could not object because the regent was his son-in-law, so he closed the door and pretended nothing happened.

If ordinary officials can analyze rationally, those self-proclaimed loyal royalists can't help it.

They already had doubts about Xie Yan's loyalty and position, but now Shangyong suddenly became a mess. Before that, Xie Yan strongly supported Yu Mingqiu, who had just returned, to take control of the Wuwei Army, and then transferred Luo Yun's eldest son to the Wuwei Army, and then to the Luo family. marriage...

It's okay not to think about this kind of thing, but the more you think about it, the more suspicious it becomes.

Therefore, less than half an hour after the news of Yi's decree was spread, many court and Chinese officials with their own thoughts gathered outside the palace gate.

At this time, Luo Junyao and the others were standing in the turret on the gate tower at the gate of the palace. From the angle they stood, they could see the situation at the gate of the palace, but the ministers standing outside the gate of the palace could not see them in the night.

Seeing all the old men standing in the crowd pointing fingers at the sky, wishing they could scold Xie Yan for his wolfish ambition, Luo Junyao couldn't help but said: "It seems that Ah Yan's reputation is not very good."

Wei Changting smiled and said: "Which king of power who holds great power and also holds a heavy army will not have a good reputation."

You don't have to do something outrageous. There is a sin in this world that makes others think that you will do it sooner or later.

These elders may not all have any malicious intentions, they just think that the emperor is young, and Xie Yan, the regent who holds a heavy army, will sooner or later have the ambition to usurp the throne.

These obstinate and old-fashioned stubborn self-proclaimed that they were only loyal to the royal family orthodoxy, so naturally they could not be too repulsive and wary of Xie Yan.

"Why is Master Su here?" Luo Junyao asked suddenly.

Wei Changting looked sideways and saw the sedan chair of the Su family parked outside the palace gate. Old Madam Su was helped out from inside, and tremblingly walked towards the crowd gathered at the palace gate.

Seeing Mrs. Su's arrival, many people seemed to have a backbone and gathered around one after another, "Master Su, you are here."

"Master Su, what should I do now?"

"I also ask Mr. Su to lead us into the palace to serve as the king. We will only wait for Mr. Su to follow!" The crowd was excited.

Old Madam Su sighed helplessly, and said, "King Qin? What do you mean?"

Someone was taken aback, "Hasn't my lord received the imperial edict from the empress dowager?"

Old Madam Su said: "What this old man means is that we haven't figured out what's going on in the palace now, so it's best to take it easy and ask the Regent for clarification."

The angry one couldn't help but said: "What is there to ask! After asking clearly, maybe His Majesty has already been killed!"

Old Madam Su looked at the middle-aged man who spoke, and asked, "Lord Zhu, did you see with your own eyes that the regent detained His Majesty and the Empress Dowager? If the regent wanted to, he should have taken control of the palace earlier, the queen mother How can the will be made known?"

The middle-aged man's official position is not high, in fact, he has no qualifications to go to court at all. Unexpectedly, Old Madam Su would be able to call out his identity, and after a while, he said loudly: "Then where is the regent now? Mr. Luo Where is the general? Why did Yu Mingqiu, a prisoner who just returned from the Qi clan, lead troops into the harem late at night?!"

After hearing this, someone immediately started making noise.

Mrs. Su, Fu, was old and in poor health. When she woke up in the middle of the night in the cold winter, she felt dizzy after being surrounded by a group of noisy people.

In the corner, Luo Junyao was biting the tip of his pen while holding a roster and whispering something to the noisy people below.

In the compartment behind her, Luo Jinyan spread out a topographic map of the palace in front of her, "The current situation is that at least 4% of the soldiers and horses of the Imperial Forest Army have surrendered to the enemy, the deputy general of the Southern Camp of the Wuwei Army has defected, and the chief general of the Northern Camp also has problems. If you stay outside the city, General Gu Jue will take care of it, so we don’t need to worry about it. There are also the original imperial guards... It is currently estimated that there are no less than [-] enemy troops in the palace."

Wei Changting couldn't help pulling his hair, "No wonder they made such a big commotion in the city. It turned out to be to divert attention. Let the rebellious Imperial Forest Army take advantage of the chaos and put the Wuwei Army and some mobs into the palace. These people Are you all crazy? You really are not afraid of death!"

Luo Jinyan said: "The participation of so many people cannot be explained by saying that they are crazy."

Luo Junyao seemed to feel that there was nothing to see outside the palace gate, so he turned around and walked in and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this, is it? What shall we do?"

Luo Jinyan and Wei Changting looked at each other, and Wei Changting said, "My lord said...don't worry."

"Not in a hurry?" How could Luo Junyao not understand, "So... the chaos tonight was deliberately arranged by Xie Yan?"

Wei Changting rubbed his nose and said, "Actually, it's not a deliberate arrangement, it's just...well, let it be." Although it was said that Xie Yan did it from the very beginning, it would definitely not cause such a big trouble, but the people in Luan Yisi thought What to do, they can't arrange, it's just a trick.

Luo Jinyan waved to his sister, and waited for her to come to his side before softly saying: "With Yisi Luan secretly obstructing, it is not an easy task to clear up all the forces in Shangyong. It is better to just start a big chaos, those who are patient People who can't live will naturally come out."

Those people who can still endure the chaos like this can only be regarded as non-existent.What's more, such a good opportunity can be tolerated, and these people have a high probability of being able to endure it for a lifetime, and they will not cause too much harm.

As for completely eradicating the government and the opposition, this is something that saints dare not think about, and they will naturally not force it.

Luo Junyao naturally understood this truth, nodded and said: "I know, I just think... you guys are playing too much, be careful not to capsize."

Wei Changting smiled meaningfully, "Since the prince dares to do this, he is naturally confident that there will be no accidents."

From Wei Changting's point of view, people like Xue Ya have no ability at all, they only rely on intrigue and scheming to do things wrong.Even if luck really makes them succeed tonight, it won't last long.

It is not impossible to want the world, but you have to pay attention to a basic rule.

As a king, don't avoid conspiracy and conspiracy.

These people have spent a lot of time and effort this time, and they haven't seen much in strategizing. It's all a conspiracy.

Luo Jun shook his head and looked at the map, "Now there are mainly two places in the palace. General Yu is besieged in the empress dowager's bedroom, and Xueya and others are in the empress dowager Zhu's bedroom. Xueya has already controlled the empress dowager Zhu. He is now leading these officials over. Do you want to make sure that Ayan coerces the emperor to order the world?"

Luo Jinyan said: "That should be the meaning. I think he shouldn't mind killing His Majesty when necessary."

"Kill Your Majesty?" Hearing this, Qin Yao'er next to him couldn't help interjecting, "How can he control those court officials and generals after killing the little emperor?"

The others glanced at her one after another, and Luo Junyao sighed softly and said, "Ah Cheng is too young, even if Xueya is an unknown outsider before, everything is going well, if you want to rely on the credit of the so-called King Qin, let everyone listen to him , is unlikely."

If those courtiers were so easy to control, there wouldn't be so many people secretly suspecting that Xie Yan wanted to usurp the throne.

Xue Ya dared to do this, there must be someone behind him.

"King Ning and Prime Minister Ruan are here." Duo Ying who was guarding the window suddenly said.

Luo Jinyan had an inexplicable look on his face, "Let's see what attitudes King Ning and Xiang Ruan have."

"By the way, don't we go to help General Yu first?"

Wei Changting showed no affection for his comrades, and waved his hands: "No need, Yu Mingqiu can hold on."

Outside the palace gate, I don't know what King Ning and Ruan Ting said to the courtiers, but gradually became quiet.Then I saw King Ning take out a token and said to the generals stationed upstairs on the palace wall: "This king and all courtiers enter the palace according to the Queen Mother's order, and open the door!"

The general on the tower did not speak, and the two sides seemed to be confronting each other quietly.

In the corner, Wei Changting waved lazily at the general of the Zhen Guojun who was wearing the uniform of the Imperial Forest Army and said, "Open! Let them in!"

The general hesitated for a moment, a little embarrassed, "General, I am afraid that the palace is very dangerous at this time. If something unexpected happens..." They can quietly seize control of the palace gate, but no one has the time to protect those incapable people. A civil servant with the power to bind chickens.

Wei Changting smiled and said: "Those who dare to enter the palace at this time are either very courageous and not afraid of death, or they have ulterior motives to follow along to gain benefits, just let them be fulfilled."

The general twitched the corners of his mouth, bowed his hands silently, and turned around to go out.

After a while, the people in the corner heard a high-pitched voice from outside, "Open the palace gate!"

With a heavy voice, the originally closed palace door slowly opened.

Wei Changting and others stood by the window in the corner, watching the officials standing outside filing in, Wei Changting said with a little bit of teasing: "The show is about to begin."

Luo Jinyan said: "No one came to Prince Mu's Mansion." Ordinarily, if such a thing happened, it is impossible for that Prince Mu not to come to join in the fun.

Wei Changting didn't care, "It's not just Prince Mu's Mansion, Prince Ancheng's Mansion, Dingyanghou's Mansion, Lingchuanhou's Mansion, Princess Changzhao's Mansion... There are still quite a few people who didn't come."

At this time, it is wise not to join in the fun.

Yu Mingqiu was not as relaxed as Wei Changting said. While fighting with the men in black who besieged him, he scolded Zhen Guojun up to Xie Yan down to Wei Changting and Gu Jue a hundred times in his heart.

Although the dormitory is still unbreakable, and the Zhen Guo army outside the dormitory fought with the enemy and did not fall down, but some masters found a gap to break into the dormitory gate.

There are already many corpses piled up in the yard below, all of them are those masters who used their martial arts to force their way in.

He doesn't know if Master Luan can win this time, but after this incident, it will certainly not be a problem for Dasheng Jianghu to go back 50 years.

Yu Mingqiu didn't care about this either, he was a member of the imperial court, and he always upheld the view that chivalry uses martial arts to break the law.These people in the rivers and lakes ignore the law and act mischievously. They should not exist in the first place.

"clang!"

Yu Mingqiu's sword collided with the oncoming long sword, and sparks flew everywhere.Yu Mingqiu only felt pain in the tiger's mouth holding the sword, which showed the opponent's strength.

The man standing opposite him only showed a pair of eyes, but Yu Mingqiu sneered and called out his name without hesitation, "Qu Fang! Does Bai Jingrong want to tear up the agreement with Dasheng?"

The other party didn't speak, but just swung his sword and attacked Yu Mingqiu continuously.

Yu Mingqiu was not Qu Fang's opponent in the first place, let alone how many opponents he had fought.There were not a few masters who died under his sword tonight, and those who stepped aside after Qu Fang appeared looked at Yu Mingqiu with guarded and shocked eyes.

These years Yu Mingqiu's reputation has not been obvious, but only after tonight's battle did he know that this Xiaoyuanhou is indeed worthy of the reputation of being brave and unparalleled.

Not only Yu Mingqiu, but also the Zhen Guojun guarding outside the empress dowager's bedroom are also very difficult. It is not that they have tried, but even if several masters joined forces, they were unable to break through the defense set up by the Zhen Guo Army in front of the palace gate.

The battle situation outside the palace is also stalemate, which makes people feel a little ominous.

After all, Yu Mingqiu only had one hand, and it was injured not long ago. After a long battle, it was inevitable that he would be a little powerless, but what he had to face was a top expert like Qu Fang.

The moment of slowness was seized by Qu Fang, and a palm hit Yu Mingqiu's heart heavily.

Yu Mingqiu took seven or eight steps backwards. If he hadn't supported himself with his sword, he might have fallen to his knees directly.

"Xie Yan, it's your uncle!" Yu Mingqiu spat out a mouthful of blood, and couldn't help cursing: "If you don't come, I will be killed by you!" He hasn't even hugged his wife yet?Does anyone understand that he was injured just now?

Raising his hand and touching his chest, Yu Mingqiu smiled wryly... the wound from the past few days seemed to be split open again.It seems that although Miracle Doctor Xue's medicine is miraculously effective, it is not omnipotent.

Qu Fang ignored Yu Mingqiu's sudden scolding, and he didn't have the habit of giving the enemy time to confess his last words. The long sword in his hand slashed at Yu Mingqiu without hesitation.

Yu Mingqiu tried his best to block it with his sword, but he knew that he couldn't block the sword no matter what.

Talking is better than nothing.

Just when Yu Mingqiu was already mentally prepared to face the sword, the edge of Qu Fang's sword suddenly stagnated in mid-air.

Yu Mingqiu was stunned, and the next moment he flipped over to avoid Qu Fang's attack range, so he had time to see what was going on.

In front of Qu Fang, just in front of where Yu Mingqiu was, stood a tall and straight man in black.

The man turned his head and said to Yu Mingqiu indifferently: "Something has delayed me, I'm late."

Yu Mingqiu gritted his teeth bitterly, "Thank you, Yan!"

Yu Mingqiu wiped the blood from his lips, "You can come later!"

Xie Yan deserved to be Wei Shizi's boss, he had no sympathy for his former friend and colleague, "I didn't ask you to use your salary to play tricks." If you want to send yourself to be knifed, you can't delay the business.
