Chapter 1071 Yingtai
In the middle of the night, there were thunder and lightning, and the rainstorm continued.

Accompanied by rumbling thunder, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, illuminating the street under the rain.On the streets, countless soldiers marched in armor and armor, wearing boots nailed with iron nails, and their blades were dazzling under the lightning!
Under the cover of the heavy rain, this army drove out of the barracks and headed for Yong'an Gate on the east side of Xiyuan!

According to the rules, after dark, unless there is a will, the gate of the Forbidden Garden Palace must never be opened, even if it is an urgent military situation, it can only be passed through the crack of the door.Even if Zhu Di fell ill for a long time, the eunuchs in the palace almost changed all over, and the old rules seemed to disappear with it. Now there is only one rule in the palace, and that is Zhao Ying!The palace gate is not something he can get his hands on.

Because the guards guarding the palace gates are under the control of Zheng He!

When that huge army braved the heavy rain and appeared outside Yong'an Gate, as expected, they saw the closed palace gate.

The army had to stop slowly, the soldiers looked at the generals, and the generals looked at Zhao Wang and Zhao Ying who were at the forefront.

Zhao Wang was dressed in a military uniform without a rain cape and a hat. He was braving the wind and rain like ordinary soldiers. The cold rain dripped into his body along the gaps in the golden armor, but he only felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling!
How many years of depression, how many years of dormancy, how many years of sharpening the sword, finally raised his eyebrows and unsheathed at this moment, and showed his sword to the world!Let everyone know that I am definitely not the prince of An Le who is just waiting to die, but that I am the real son who has become a blockbuster without singing!

"My lord." Zhao Ying's old face was still expressionless, as if all the emotions had disappeared with the passage of time.Even at this life-and-death moment, he still remained unmoved. "The old slave went in and called for the door."

"Oh, good! I have Mr. Lao." Zhao Wang came back to his senses and nodded, but looking at the closed palace gate and the two-foot-high palace wall, Zhao Wang was confused again. how to get in.

Zhao Ying dismounted from his horse, took off his bamboo hat, took off his heavy poncho, revealed his gleaming golden python robe, and charged forward like an arrow. After a while, his body jumped up, and he was uplifted a foot high from the ground!

But it's not enough. Although the palace wall of Xiyuan is far less towering than the Forbidden City, it is still more than two feet high, and it cannot be leaped by manpower!

It was too late and then quickly, when Zhao Ying was about to reach the highest point, a section of flying claws suddenly shot out from his sleeve, and the flying claws shot electric, and even pierced into the thick palace wall.Zhao Ying draws a beautiful arc in the air with the rope of the flying claw, crosses the palace wall at once, and disappears in the sight of Zhao Wang and others in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Wang and others stared wide-eyed, letting the rain obscure their vision. It is hard to imagine that this is a move that humans can do.

After a while, the gate of the palace opened slowly. Surrounded by eunuchs, Zhao Ying stood with his hands behind his back, waiting for King Zhao's army to enter the palace.

"Eunuch Zhao really did what he said!" Zhao Wang was overjoyed, and with a wave of his hand, the army rushed into the palace.

After the army entered the palace, the palace was still dead silent, as if all the eunuchs and guards were asleep in the rain.

Zhao Ying came to King Zhao and reported in a deep voice: "The grandson is indeed not in the palace, but has returned to the residence of Yingtai."

"I will divide the troops with you. I will take people to the bedroom, and my father-in-law will take people to Yingtai." Zhao Wang had already made a plan, and said in a deep voice: "We will fight at the same time!" After a pause, murderous intent appeared in Zhao Wang's eyes Said: "I don't want to live, bring my nephew's head to see Gu!"

"Obey!" Zhao Ying responded in a cold voice, and led Peng Xu's Habayashi avant-garde to Yingtai, while Zhao Wang led Meng Xian's army to the emperor's bedroom!
.

Yingtai is located in the center of the South China Sea. It is so named because it is surrounded by water and lined with pavilions and pavilions.It is the first-class scenic spot in Xiyuan.Zhu Di gave this place to the emperor's grandson to stay in the palace, which shows his love for Zhu Zhanji.

Thunderstorm is the best cover. When Zhao Ying led the army to step on the jade bridge leading to Yingtai, the guards protecting Taisun found out that someone had invaded!He hurriedly shouted for help, drew out his weapon, and faced the oncoming enemy army!
Zhao Ying folded his hands in his sleeves and stood still.The elite soldiers who followed him pulled out their weapons one after another, rushed forward, and started a fierce battle with the guards guarding Yingtai!
Zheng He's subordinates were in charge of guarding Yingtai. Zheng He was worried that there would be a lot of troubles in the womb and feared that his grandson would suffer accidents, so he mobilized a total of five hundred guards to guard the island.In addition, there is only one passageway from Yushi Bridge leading to Yingtai, so even though Zhao Wang's party was not expected to attack suddenly tonight, it will not fall immediately!

On the Yushi bridge, under the heavy rain, soldiers from both sides brandished their weapons and fought desperately with grim faces!The sharp blade pierced through the armor, tore apart the limbs, and the blood spurted out, which was immediately diluted by the downpour!But immediately, more blood sprayed out, no matter how heavy the rainstorm was, it was too late to wash away!

The ground was wet and slippery. Many soldiers fell to the ground, and they didn't get up anymore. They rolled and tore on the ground. From time to time, some soldiers screamed and fell into the lake...

On Yingtai, in Hanyuan Hall, His Highness Taisun couldn't sleep at night, sometimes tossed and turned on the bed, sometimes got off barefoot, and walked around in the hall. Obviously, although he had decided to accept the emperor's will, His Highness Taisun was still in a state of confusion.

How could he not be in a mess?In his heart, inheriting the throne and becoming a great treasure is of course the highest wish above all else, but how should he arrange for his father in the future?That His Royal Highness who has been the crown prince for 20 years?Sealed as the Supreme Emperor to support his life?Or just seal the prince and keep him cold?It seems that no matter what you do, it is against the laws of nature and human nature, and you cannot escape the public opinion... It is really sad.

Also, how to deal with Wang Xian?The condition for becoming emperor is to execute Wang Xian, but that is his only friend, the benefactor who has saved him countless times, how can he do it?

Just as His Highness Taisun was extremely distressed, the door of the palace was pushed open with a bang, and Qin Ya rushed in anxiously covered in rain.

"What's the matter? So flustered!" Zhu Zhanji was taken aback and asked with a dark face.

"Your Highness, something serious is wrong! We are under attack!" Qin Ya shouted loudly, not caring about saluting.

"What?" Zhu Zhanji was stunned all of a sudden. He felt a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. how many people?!"

"I can't figure out the number at the moment, but it is far more than Yingtai's guards!" Qin Ya hurriedly put on Zhu Zhanji's body armor, and reported in a hurry: "It should be the army of Habayashi Guard, and People from Dongchang are mixed in!"

"King Zhao!" Zhu Zhanji immediately lost all fear, hatred welled up in his heart, and said through gritted teeth, "He really dared to rebel!" As he spoke, he pushed Qin Ya away, and walked a few steps irritably, his heart was already clear ——As soon as the decree is announced tomorrow morning, and the news of Zhu Di's waking up, the overall situation has been decided. If King Zhao doesn't want the bamboo basket to fetch water in vain, he must take the risk tonight!
But, how did Zhu Gaosui know that Grandpa Huang had woken up?And the content of that will? !Zhu Zhanji couldn't figure it out, could it be that he and Zhao Ying were already pervasive and omniscient in the palace?
"Your Highness, we are now isolated from the outside world, and the situation is very dangerous!" Seeing Zhu Zhanji thinking hard there, Qin Ya couldn't help reminding: "We have to find a way to escape!"

"How to escape?" Zhu Zhanji stopped pacing, arrived at the gate of the main hall, and watched the fierce battle between the soldiers of both sides on the stone bridge outside.He can clearly judge that although the two armies are still fighting fiercely, it is obvious that the Yingtai guards are constantly retreating under the pressure of the enemy. Once the Yushi Bridge is lost, it will be the time for the enemy to swarm up and catch the turtle!
"It won't last long..." His Royal Highness Taisun frowned tightly.

"Take the water route." Qin A said in a deep voice: "In the afternoon, my subordinate ordered a small boat to be prepared on the south side of Yingtai!"

"Okay!" Zhu Zhanji was overjoyed when he heard the words, and under the protection of Qin A and several trusted guards, he quietly left the Hanyuan Hall, plunged into the heavy rain, and arrived at the small pier on the south side of Yingtai. .

Sure enough, there was a small boat with a canopy tied to the pier. Qin A and others escorted Taisun to board the boat, then untied the cable, and quietly rowed the boat away from the roaring Yingtai.

Sitting in the cabin, Zhu Zhanji couldn't hear the sound of fighting outside. Zhu Zhanji's nervous mood eased, he took off his poncho, and continued to think about the current situation and the countermeasures.

Obviously, if the decree of passing the throne and the news of the emperor's grandfather's waking up were not leaked, King Zhao would never choose to take risks tonight.Zhu Zhanji really couldn't figure it out, how could such top-secret news leak out in a blink of an eye? !Could it be that Zheng He had betrayed the emperor?But it is obviously impossible. If Zheng He betrayed the emperor, the emperor would have died for no apparent reason. How can he survive till now?

Was that what Grandpa Huang deliberately leaked out?Obviously impossible.Grandpa Huang is running out of time, and his unwillingness to cause trouble is very obvious.Once the court meeting is over tomorrow, even though King Zhao is unwilling in every possible way, he can only accept his fate.How could Grandpa Huang take the initiative to cause such a palace coup?No matter what the result is, it will be a huge scandal for the emperor himself!

Could it be that it was leaked from my side?Zhu Zhanji immediately denied this absurd idea. When he came out of the bedroom, he didn't say a word, let alone contacted Wang Xian's subordinates. How could he leak the news?

"I really saw a ghost!" Zhu Zhanji couldn't figure it out, so he thumped the deck hard, feeling extremely gloomy.How could he not know that because of the leak of the news, Zhao Wang suddenly launched an attack, and the prince and Zheng He were inevitably caught off guard. Whether the rebellion tonight can be put down, I am afraid it is only five or five!
But for himself, who is unarmed, how to survive this palace coup is the most important issue.
