Chapter 377 Forcing the Palace
On the twelfth day of the fifth month in the 11th year of Guangxing, the night was dark and the cool breeze was blowing slightly. It was a night with a dark moon and high wind.

In front of the palace gate, there were four guards standing on the left and right with long spears, and outside the palace gate there was a group of ten guards with sabers at their waists, patrolling back and forth with vigilant eyes.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, no one dared to be presumptuous, so by the third watch, the patrolling guards had gradually relaxed, and some people couldn't help feeling sleepy and yawned.

At this moment, I suddenly remembered the hooting of owls.

Very abrupt, very clear in the dark night.

Whether it was the guards on the left and right of the substation, or the guards patrolling back and forth, they were all shocked and looked at each other.

After a while, the hooting of the owl sounded again, and this time, in the hooting, a faint anxiety could be heard inside.

The old guards all focused their eyes on the leader of a small team, the little leader gritted his teeth, his heart was hardened, and his voice was extremely low, "Everyone has collected the settlement fee, and with that money, it is enough for everyone's wife and children. Eat and drink well for a lifetime, since you have money, you have to do things."

Without waiting for others to make a statement, the little team leader waved his hand, "Go meet them and open the palace gate."

One of the guards whistled, and the sound of 'cuckoo' was three long and two short.

Soon, at the corner of the street in the dark night, three hundred people suddenly filed out. Everyone wore black scarves on their faces and held a big knife in their hands. He was well-trained, and his footsteps were silent. Even with so many people together, there was no movement, as if he had just arrived in front of a dozen guards in the blink of an eye.

The leader showed his waist card, and the small guard team leader confirmed that it was correct and said in a deep voice, "Come with me."

The little leader turned around and led the group of people towards the palace gate, signaling to the left and right to open the palace door. When the palace door opened, the little leader suddenly felt a piercing pain coming from his abdomen, and his painful cry Before he could yell out, his mouth was tightly covered.

He turned his head with difficulty, and in the end he could only see the calm eyes of the leader in black. There was only one thought echoing in his mind: Didn't it mean that this group of people would draw a few scars on them at the beginning, creating a palace gate that was blocked? Is it an illusion of shock, why kill them now?

But unfortunately, no one will answer his question. The leader in black let go of his hand, and left the body of the little leader casually on the ground. Seeing that the other guards were also killed by his subordinates, he waved his hand, " Quick battle!"

This group of people pushed open the palace gate and rushed into the Ming Palace.

Along the way, as long as they found their guards, they were killed cleanly by them, because they appeared too abruptly, and there was a time lag for the guards in the palace to patrol, so they were killed before they even had time to fight back in shock. He was rushed to the front of Tai Chi Hall by this group of people.

As long as you bypass the Taiji Hall, you will be the Qianqing Palace where Emperor Qi Cheng lived.

The man in black was covered in blood, and was about to charge forward with all his might, when suddenly an extremely loud voice sounded in the night, "There are assassins rushing into the palace, come, escort!"

The man in black couldn't help but pause in his charging steps, and found that the voice came from behind him. Looking back, he saw a sergeant in armor and holding a spear behind him.

It was so dark that one could see how many people there were at a glance.

The man in black was horrified, how could there be so many sergeants?

But it was too late for them to think too much, because the sergeants had already rushed over, and the men in black's footsteps heading for the Qianqing Palace stopped abruptly, and the handover of soldiers between the two sides was instant.

That night, in front of the Taiji Hall, flesh and blood were flying everywhere, and broken limbs were everywhere. The marble floor tiles were an extremely dark red color, which made the courtiers who came to the court early in the morning startled, their complexions were pale and full of The smell of blood lingered in the nostrils, and the stomach was churning. Some timid courtiers were already fighting with each other when they saw the scene in front of them that seemed like a miserable scene in the world.

It was Sangong, Liubu Shangshu and others who came back to their senses first, their complexions changed drastically, and they rushed up to grab the guard who was cleaning up the stump, "What happened in the palace? Is there something wrong with the Holy Spirit?"

Su Wei only opened his mouth to say a few words, but was thrown away by the anxious courtiers, without asking him, and ran towards Qianqing Palace in a stumbling manner.

Running all the way, these high-ranking people were still analyzing the scene they just saw in their minds, and a very scary thought emerged: Could it be a forced palace?Who started it?
With the leadership of Sangong and Liubu Shangshu, those courtiers rushed towards Qianqing Palace as if following the backbone, and it was too late for the guards to stop them.

Fortunately, I rushed all the way to the gate of the Qianqing Palace. It was clean, without any broken limbs, and there was no bloody smell or blood flowing all over the place.

Many courtiers wiped the sweat from their foreheads. From this point of view, the Holy Majesty should be fine?

But they didn't see Emperor Qi Cheng with their own eyes, so these people couldn't feel relieved at all, but except for Sangong and Liubu Shangshu, the other courtiers stopped in front of the palace gate and didn't dare to go in casually, they could only wait eagerly for the news of Sangong and them.

At this time, the Qianqing Palace was already heavily guarded, and the most elite sergeants of the Beiya Forbidden Army surrounded the Qianqing Palace. When the group of courtiers rushed to this side from the outside, the soldiers were already holding long spears, sharp spears He aimed his head at the courtiers, and only waited for the command of the commander to stab the spears into the bodies of this group of people.

The Commander-in-Chief came out, and said in a deep voice to Shang Sangong and Liubu Shangshu, "My lords, please stop! Your Majesty is well, the assassins have not disturbed His Majesty, but His Majesty needs to deal with this matter and has no time to summon you all. Please go back to the Yamen to deal with it first." Official business, waiting for the call of the Holy One."

But Zhongshuling Wang Yu refused to back down, "No, today the official must see the Holy Majesty with his own eyes before he can go back with peace of mind, get out of the way!"

It was obvious that there were nine people on one side and black sergeants on the other, but in terms of aura, the courtiers were no worse than the sergeants.

Seeing that Sangong and Liubu Shangshu persisted, even ignoring their spears, and walked straight to the gate of Qianqing Palace, the commander-in-chief could never really order the soldiers to stab them to death, so he could only say helplessly: "Everyone, please wait a moment, Please allow me to report to the Holy One."

The commander-in-chief walked in in a hurry, looked at the side hall with his head, saw that the fourth prince was still inside, lowered his voice and asked Xi Gonggong who was guarding outside, "Elder-in-law, the third prince and the six ministers are all outside, what do you want to see?" Only when you go to the Holy One can you feel at ease, otherwise you won’t leave.”

Eunuch Xi waved his hands, and said in a very low voice, "Wait until the Holy Majesty has finished asking the fourth prince what he has said, and then go in and report."
