The rise of the prince

Chapter 685
Just as the officials were in the imperial garden, the emperor held the queen's hand tightly and waited for the situation outside. The sound outside gradually quieted down after successive explosions.

At this moment, the gate of the imperial garden opened, and everyone's nerves tensed up. Wei Li, who was injured and guarded in front of the emperor, subconsciously clenched the hilt of his waist.

Unexpectedly, it was not the prince or Tong Guan who came in, but a woman in iron armor with several warriors behind her.

"Your Majesty, the commander of the new army, Wei Yubai, came late to rescue you! Please forgive me." He walked a few steps to the emperor, knelt down and said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that it was the new army who rescued him.

"Where is the prince? Where are the rebels?" the emperor asked.

"The rebel army has been defeated. The prince took advantage of the chaos to escape. The new army is hunting down the rebels." Wei Yubai agreed truthfully, and then, as if remembering something, he quickly turned around and ordered: "Remove the knife." On the ground, respectfully said, "Your Majesty forgives my sins, but my subordinates are in a hurry and have forgotten the etiquette in the palace."

Seeing that Wei Yubai and the soldiers behind him untied their swords and put them on the ground, the emperor showed a smile, stepped forward excitedly with the support of the queen mother, and personally helped Wei Yubai up: "Get up, all of you! You are all my loyal ministers. Loyal minister of the country!"

The emperor opened his mouth, and all the ministers who escaped death also quickly flattered.

"You are the daughter of Wei Chaoren that Xingzhou often told me about."

Wei Yubai nodded.

"That's right, as expected of the queen!" The emperor said happily, "How did you know the news?"

The emperor smiled and spoke, but Wei Yubai was startled. The emperor was indeed the emperor. Even in such a crisis, he was not confused and was very alert. However, Jin Wang had long thought that the emperor would ask such a question, and quietly explained how she would respond: "Report to the emperor. It was General Yang Hongzhao who sent people to the palace to inform the prince and Tong Guan, the commander of the infantry of the bodyguards, to conspire against him, and the people in the palace risked their lives to report to the army.

The subordinates were afraid, so they mobilized the commanders of the army to investigate the situation at the gates of Kaiyuan City, and found that the heads of the east gate were all members of the Forbidden Army, and the gatekeepers were killed. Entering through the gate, when they arrived at the palace, they found that the outer gates were controlled by rebels. In desperation, they worried about the safety of the emperor and King Jin, so they rushed in through the Meridian Gate. "

What she said was impeccable, well-founded, and everyone praised her for being brave and resourceful after hearing it.

The emperor nodded, "How many people did you bring?"

"There are four battalions, including 2000 horse infantry. Now one battalion is guarding Meridian Gate and Donghua Gate, and the other battalion is in charge of guarding the surrendered rebels. The remaining two battalions have been handed over to King Jin." The emperor only asked how many people there were, but Wei Yubai was smart. How many people are there, what are they doing, and who is in command.

Let the emperor know clearly, so he can feel at ease. After all, the new army is also the forbidden army. The prince can kill the emperor and seize power if he brings the forbidden army in. She can also kill the emperor if she brings in. This clear explanation will remove the emperor's worries.

In addition, according to King Jin's arrangement, she truthfully informed that the military power has now been handed over to King Jin, that is, the military power has been handed over to the royal family.

The words were insignificant, but they largely dispelled the emperor's worries. The emperor's face was completely happy, excited and happy, "Okay, you did a good job! During the Northern Expedition, only Wei Chaoren did not disappoint me. Now it seems that he My daughter didn't disappoint me either!
Not only is he beautiful, but he is also beautiful and smart in doing things. He is straightforward and has the style of a general! "

Then he told them to pick up the sword: "You have done a great job in coming to save him, but the big thing is not over, so you can't be without weapons. You are different from Tong Guan's rebellious minister and the prince's wicked son. I am very relieved that the sword is in your hands."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wei Yubai knelt down on one knee again, and then withdrew his saber.

Seeing that the emperor spoke so highly of her, all the ministers praised her even more.

"Where is Xingzhou, is there any injury?" Rest assured, the emperor cared about what he cared most.

Wei Yubai shook his head: "King Jin is covered in blood, and his subordinates couldn't see it clearly, but judging from King Jin's movements, even if there is an injury, it is a minor injury."

"Then where is he?" the queen asked anxiously.

Wei Yubai's mind was spinning quickly.
"Prince Jin." She hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?" the emperor asked anxiously, and everyone gathered around.

Wei Yubai said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Empress, Wu De envoy Ji Chunsheng was seriously injured in protecting the King of Jin during the chaotic battle, and he has been sent to the rear medical school for treatment.
And Ji Chunsheng is the father of King Jin, Prince Xiao's favorite general, and he is very good to King Jin, like an elder, caring for every possible thing, so King Jin was furious, and after taking over the military power, he desperately went after the remnants of the rebel army and the prince."

Speaking of this, she stopped, and the people around her didn't dare to speak, because this was a fight among the royal family, and it was not easy for others to intervene.

The emperor didn't speak anymore, he was silent for a while and asked: "How angry is he?"

Wei Yubai agreed: "I'm very angry. When my subordinates met, King Jin was covered in blood, but he raised a knife, and his words and eyes were fierce, like a wolf."

The emperor sighed and said slowly: "Let him go."

The empress seemed a little unbearable, and squeezed the emperor's hand, but finally said nothing.

"Is it safe outside at this time?"

Wei Yubai shook his head, "Your Majesty, although the rebel army cannot be defeated, they outnumber us. After they invaded the palace, they spread out their guards in various places. At this time, the King of Jin is leading people to clear them out. For the sake of the safety of the Emperor, it is recommended to wait a while." , Wait until the King of Jin wipes out all the thieves before going out."

The emperor nodded: "You are thoughtful."

The reason why Wei Yubai said that King Jin would kill the prince was to vaccinate the emperor and find a good reason for King Jin, because once something happened, if King Jin said it himself, it would be like sophistry, but she is an outsider, For her, the emperor believed even more.

At the same time, she also vaguely felt that the emperor was still a little worried. After King Jin cleared out the rebels, he would be the only one in the palace holding heavy soldiers. If the time came to force the palace, the emperor would have nothing to do.

"By the way, your majesty, King Jin told his subordinates when he was leaving. At this time, the roads around Xuanwu Gate have been cleared. You should quickly ask the commander of Shangzhi's personal guards to transfer the Shangzhi's personal guards from the north gate to protect the emperor Zhou Quan." Wei Yubai seemed to suddenly remember. What, said quickly.

When the emperor heard it, he let out a sigh, and then nodded repeatedly: "Okay, Xingzhou thinks far! Wei Li, go quickly, go outside the north gate, and drop Shangzhi's personal guards!"

The injured Wei Li bowed his hands and hurried to transfer someone.

Now the emperor finally let go of his last shred of guard, "Go and do your work, if you see Xingzhou, when things come to fruition, bring him to the Imperial Garden to see me, you come with him.

If you meet him early, tell him that the crown prince has something to ask, but if you are late, forget it, and tell him that the crown prince is his uncle, and leave his whole body. "

"Yes, my subordinates would like to listen to the holy order!" Wei Yubai said.

"You have worked hard tonight, pay attention to yourself, and I will definitely reward you when the matter is over."
