The rise of the prince

Chapter 682
Outside the palace, the fire and the sound of shouting and killing continued to come through the windows. All the ministers were bewildered and trembling, and the entire Yangju Palace was silent.

The emperor's face was pale, and he was supported by the empress to stand in the center, surrounded by the crowd, who tightly held the empress' arm.

"How is the situation outside, why haven't you come to report." The emperor said anxiously.

"I'm going to urge you." Mr. Fu An said, and he was about to go out. At this time, the little eunuch who came back to report the letter came back with blood on his body. Many ministers were shocked. The emperor hurriedly asked: "What's the situation?" how?"

The little eunuch hurriedly agreed: "There are many rebels, but King Jin is still directing the people to resist, and won two games, so we can withstand it for the time being!"

All the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, and the emperor nodded: "Okay, okay!" He said and walked a few steps forward.

"Your Majesty!" Everyone stopped him one after another.

"The emperor can't go out!"

"It's chaotic outside, the swordsmen have no eyes, and you can't protect the holy body well when you go out."

"Be careful."

"." Everyone said something to each other, and expressed their opinions one after another.

The emperor waved his hand: "I'm not going, I'm just worried about Xingzhou, alas. He was born in the north and lived a few days after returning to Beijing, but he was involved in this matter again."

As he said that, his face became gloomy and cold, "Li Chengping (Prince) is a rebellious son! How dare you go against the law and make trouble. At this time of crisis, since all your lovers are here, I will pass on the edict immediately. You all listen carefully."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone knew that it was a big deal, and they knelt down one after another, "Hear the imperial decree respectfully!"

"If something happens to me tonight, and the rebellion succeeds, all the lovers will support the king of Jin as the grandson of the emperor and receive my treasure book. If something happens to me and the king of Jin, you will help the prince Li Yu to be the crown prince My treasure book.

At the same time, the crown prince Li Chengping was a traitor, rebelled and rebelled, and was deposed as a commoner. He should be punished!Those who have to punish the traitors will be sealed as marquises! "

As soon as this remark came out, the air in the Yangju Hall became colder by three points, and the atmosphere became even more depressing. Everyone understood that the emperor had begun to deal with the aftermath
"The ministers respectfully obey the imperial decree!"

After the emperor explained this, he waved them to stand up, and then asked the queen to help him sit down, and sighed: "Now that things have come to an end, we can only wait."

Everyone was silent, anxiously waiting for the result.

At this moment, there was a thunder-like explosion outside. At first, everyone didn't pay attention, but gradually the sound in the distance became more and more dense. Everyone was puzzled and looked up from the window.

Has it changed?

There seems to be nothing, only the sound of thunder in the sky, the bright moonlight is still bright, the galaxy is shining across the sky, there are no clouds, and there is no sign of thunder or rain.

"What's going on?" asked the emperor around.

The ministers shook their heads, but no one could answer. Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and the noise outside became more and more dense.

"Your Majesty, it seems to be ringing in the imperial city?" someone said.

Everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully, and then they were surprised: "It seems to be really in the palace."

"New army! Could it be King Jin's new army? Storytellers outside say that King Jin is General Tianlei. Wherever the army under his command goes, there is thunder and thunder, and they are invincible." Tang Zhou said excitedly.

But he was only halfway through the conversation, seeing everyone looking at him like a fool, he immediately shut up.

Eunuch Fu An seemed to be thinking of something, and excitedly said: "Your Majesty, will it be the cannon of the palace? Do you still remember that the emperor saw that magical cannon at the ferry of the palace?"

The emperor thought about it, and became excited: "Yes, when Ji Chunsheng was going south to help Xingzhou, I've seen it before, it's this noise!" The emperor also stood up excitedly, "The sound of cocoa is too dense."

"Go out and have a look, Fu'an, go out with me to have a look!" The emperor became excited.

"Yes!"

"The emperor can't, outside"

"Shut up!" The emperor looked around the crowd, "Don't push yourself too hard, I don't know your heart!" As soon as the emperor said this, many ministers bowed their heads and dared not speak. Tang Zhouwei looked confused, as if he didn't understand what the emperor said. the meaning of.

The emperor ignored them. Most of the time, many things cannot be explained clearly, but it is necessary to mention something. Why do these ministers refuse to let the emperor go out? Is it because they keep saying that they are safe for the emperor?
Some loyal ministers may be, but there must be many who think that the emperor is at hand, regardless of the success or failure of the rebel army, they can protect themselves, so they repeatedly prevent the emperor from going out.

Naturally, the emperor can't tell the truth, if he puts it straight, people will feel uneasy, especially at such a critical moment when everyone is in danger and people are panicking, some people may just jump up.

But at this time, there were still people who wanted to stop him, so he couldn't help but beat them.

As soon as the words came out, their thoughts were exposed by euphemism, some people's expressions changed, and they hurriedly moved back, but no one dared to block the way.

The emperor left the Yangju Hall, and a group of ministers loyally followed, and then the rest of the people also saw that the situation was not good, so they hurriedly followed, and in the end, everyone followed the emperor.

The sound outside became more obvious, and the dense noise was getting closer.

"Your majesty, the south of the city is from the south of the imperial city!" Fu An excitedly held the emperor's hand, almost crying, the emperor nodded, pretending to be calm, his right hand tightly held the queen's hand, his body trembling slightly.

At Xuanwumen, the battle was at the point of death, more than half of Wu Desi's sergeants were killed or injured, and Yang Hongzhao also failed as the frontline commander. Li Xingzhou kept mobilizing his hands to pull the wounded down, bandage them temporarily, and command the bandaged wounded to continue fighting.

In critical times, people rushed into the gate of the city several times, and Li Xingzhou was forced to attack with a knife. Fortunately, there were not many people who rushed in, at most there were only six or seven people, and they were quickly beaten back.

But as the rebels continued to pour in, there were fewer and fewer people on their side. At the gate of Xuanwu, the corpses piled up were already waist high, which could be used as bunkers, but they were about to be unable to defend.

At this moment, Li Xingzhou, with sharp ears, vaguely heard the sound from the north of the city amidst the shouts of killing. He hurriedly stepped back and listened carefully. It became more and more dense and clearer. The sound of gunfire!
It's the sound of guns!

If you hear gunfire in this world, there is only one possibility, Xinjun!The new army is here!
Li Xingzhou was overjoyed and shouted excitedly: "Soldiers, reinforcements are here! New troops are here! Kill me! Kill all these rebellious officials and thieves!"

When everyone heard this, their morale was greatly shaken, and the sound of guns from the south was getting closer and closer!
Outside the Xuanwu Gate, there is a wide avenue just around the corner. Many imperial troops gathered here to support the Xuanwu Gate. Many wounded soldiers were pulled down here to rest.

Because the road in front of the Xuanwu Gate is not wide, and the Xuanwu Gate is also narrow, it is impossible to deploy a large group of people. If the line is too long, the people in the front will work hard.

Therefore, Tong Guan, who has combat experience, asked the soldiers to form teams in batches and go up to fight in turn, consuming Wu Desi's defenders.

Wu Desi's troops are limited, and they cannot take turns to fight and cultivate like them. They will definitely be exhausted soon and the casualties will be exhausted.

However, to his surprise, Wu Desi's soldiers fought more bravely than he had imagined, fearless of death, so it took a little longer and resulted in more casualties.

The prince has long been impatiently urging: "When will we be able to take down! We have so many people, let them all go up and it will be over!"

Tong Guan didn't bother to pay attention to it, and watched from a distance, reckoning that one more round of fighting would cause the other party's people to be exhausted by them.
