The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

Yuan Chun shook his head and said, "Not yet."

Concubine Wu flashed joy in her eyes and advised, "Why don't we go together?"

Yuanchun refused: "Aijia still has to wait. First, the emperor has not yet risen, and secondly, my brother specially instructed Aijia not to leave Daming Palace before he enters the palace. Look at the time, and then... It's almost an hour away. It won't be too late to go to the Queen Mother's place at that time."

Concubine Wu couldn't help worrying, "Since the emperor hasn't woken up, don't bother. It's not too far from here to Hanliang Palace, and I just greet the queen mother and return without wasting time. Besides, this is the imperial palace, and my elder sister is the queen. , Who would dare to ask your sister to tell your sister that Duke Rong is too careful."

Yuan Chun, who said a few words, was a little shaken, but still refused: "Although my brother is a little lazy, he has never made a mistake in important matters. When the emperor wakes up, it will not be too late to go to the queen mother's place. My sister is going, Then please do it yourself!"

Concubine Wu immediately laughed, "I don't have anything to do, just sit with my sister!"

Then I talked about some rumors in the palace. As time passed, Concubine Wu couldn't stand it any longer, and persuaded Yuanchun to go. At this moment, the emperor suddenly woke up. So Concubine Wu was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Sister, Since the emperor is also awake, let's go first. If it's too late, I'm afraid that the empress dowager has already gone to the Taiji Palace, which will be bad."

Yuanchun wanted to ask why it would be bad to go to Taiji Palace, but Yuanchun's idea was not firm, and after repeated persuasion by Concubine Wu, he agreed! Therefore, the palace ladies changed the clothes for Emperor Xi, and Banyu carried Yuanchun and the others all the way, and left like this At this time, Jia Lian had already led [*] elites from the Jingying camp from entering Shenjing, surrounded Zhongshun Wangfu all the way, and surrounded the Anguo Gongfu all the way, and the remaining [*] people went straight to the palace. Only the Jingying soldiers took Jia Lian can rest assured when he goes to the palace gate. Seeing the imperial city in sight, Jia Lian begins to feel uneasy, Yang Jihe smiled and said: "Dongweng, the success of the big event is imminent, why is it so frowning?"

Jia Lian took the bridle and walked slowly, "I don't know why, but my heart is always palpitating. Could it be that something has happened in the palace?"

Yang Jihe looked at the army behind him, and said with a smile, "Even if something unexpected happens, it's not a big deal. Dongweng agreed, I used [*] catties of new gunpowder in private, and I got it when I had to. , enough to blast open the palace gate, on the side of Qing Jun!"

When Jia Lian heard this, he laughed loudly, "Mr. Yang, now we are on the side of the king, it's time for someone else to come to the side of the king, let's suppress the rebels!"

The two rode side by side, and after two streets and alleys, they would soon reach the palace. But at this time, Yuanchun and Emperor Si encountered a crisis. Immediately, dozens of soldiers with knives and armor rushed forward, and the leaders were the King Zhongshun and Duke An who were supposed to be imprisoned in the Hanxiang Hall. The Duke An said with a grim smile: "Jia Yuanchun, you never imagined this day would come."

"Bold! You dare to call the queen's maiden name taboo"

An accompanying little eunuch scolded. Anguo Gong did not say a word, he pulled out his knife and hacked that... loyal little eunuch to death. The little emperor was so frightened that he threw himself into Yuan Chun's arms. Falling into the trap of the two of them. Yuanchun endured the uneasiness in her heart, and she must not let the chaotic ministers and thieves in front of her succeed. She reprimanded aloud: "Emperor Yan of Daxing is not far away, and you dare to rebel against your will, which is unforgivable. !"

"All right!"

King Zhongshun smiled and said, "Jia Yuanchun, you should listen to your brother's words. If you stay in Daming Palace, even if you wait another half an hour, I will think about running away. But God's will is very clear, you and the prince have both surrendered themselves. Net! If the first emperor knew, what would he think?"

Yuan Chun heard this, his heart sank, and he asked, "What do you want?"

King Zhongshun and Duke An Guo glanced at each other. Duke An Guo pointed the knife at Yuan Chun and the little emperor, "The first emperor was not in the right position, and he also killed the Supreme Emperor, which is a terrible crime! Now this king is deposed by the empress dowager. Evil King, clear the source with the original!"

The tip of the knife was still on the tip of the knife: dripping blood. At this time, the little emperor suddenly said, "You dare to rebel, Duke Rong will not spare you!"

An Guogong laughed and said: "Now the empress dowager, the queen and the little emperor are in my hands, I am the orthodox, and he is a traitor! When the time comes, I will catch him and cut him to death in front of you one by one. Of course, all of his sweet wives and concubines belonged to Brother Zhongshun. My brother has a weird temperament, I'm afraid that he will be tortured, and it's hard to die! Haha!"

"you!"

Yuanchun regretted it at the moment, she could only hug the little emperor tightly, "You guys are just beasts! I can't spare you even if I'm a ghost!"

That An Guogong turned his head and said to King Zhongshun: "Brother Wang, Jia's family belongs to you, Jia Yuanchun belongs to me, okay, let me also taste the taste of the queen."

"You are shameless!"

Yuan Chun scolded angrily. It's a pity that she is a boudoir lady and can't express her mind like a woman in the market. An Guogong is even more reckless, and he will go forward to arrest. This kind of behavior can't even be seen by Concubine Wu. "Lord"

Then An Guogong slapped his backhand, "Go away! What are you!"

Concubine Wu was knocked to the ground, and her face was burning with pain. "My lord, you said you wanted to make me queen!"

An Guogong smiled and said, "You are also worthy!"

He said to Yuan Chun, "As long as you nod your head, I will still make you the queen, okay?"

Yuan Chun looked at him contemptuously, "My brother Jia Lian will avenge me!"

An Guogong's expression suffocated, and he sneered: "The palace is in my hands, what else can he do?"

King Zhongshun sneered on the side. Seeing that Duke An Guo didn't take Jia Lian to heart, he couldn't help persuading him: "My lord, the most urgent task at the moment is to deceive Jia Lian into the palace. As long as we catch him, we can say that we succeeded."

An Guogong hesitated for a while, "Then how to arrest him?"

King Zhongshun smiled and said, "The Yulin General Sun Yu is now in control of the Xuanwu Gate. As long as we take the Queen's token and let him enter the Xuanwu Gate, it will be easy to take him down."

Chapter [*] The Jingying soldiers finally arrived at the two ends, just when Jia Lian was about to arrive at Xing'anmen, and when it was the Jiuxianmen of the palace, the man in black brought a eunuch in front. This eunuch was born When he saw Jia Lian, he immediately knelt down and said tremblingly, "Reporting to the lord of the country, this servant has ordered you to enter the palace through the Xuanwu Gate."

As he spoke, he held up a gold medal. Jiuxianmen is on the west side of the palace, and Xuanwumen is the north gate of the palace. "This is indeed the empress's gold medal. Last night, I explained carefully that I must stay in Daming Palace and wait for me to enter the palace. It seems that the worst has happened."

He focused on Yang Jihe and said, "Sir, what do you think?"

Yang Jihe said categorically: "This is the end of the matter, it is better to make a decision immediately, as long as we enter the palace, the thousands of forbidden troops in the area will not be a concern!"

Jia Lian looked at the palace still shrouded in the mist of dawn, "Whether the empress went to the Taiji Palace or the Hanliang Palace, then the empress dowager must be with them. Mr. Yang, you think, it is very likely that the empress and the little emperor are both now. Hold it in their hands. Ask me to enter the palace through Xuanwu Gate, then at least the Yulin Army guarding this gate is theirs. If it is normal, they have already succeeded in the coup!"

Yang Jihe said with a smile: "Otherwise, only Dong Weng can turn the tide of the turmoil: this is a great achievement!"

Jia Lian held the reins in his hand, "So, can Mr. Yang walk with me?"

Yang Jihe cupped his hands and said, "Yang is so honored!"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent, and you are not afraid of beheading."

Yang Jihe dismounted, ,, cut off that... eunuch's head with a single knife, and said solemnly: "Master, not only... Yang is incumbent, but also the soldiers behind you, which one of the soldiers behind you is unwilling to die for you, you must know, no matter whether the emperor is Who, in our eyes, only Rongguo Jialian."

"In that case,"

Jia Lian shouted, "Then let's do it as planned!"

So Yang Jihe nodded to a signal soldier at the back, and the signal soldier sent a red signal into the night sky. That was to immediately take down Zhongshun Mansion and An Guo Mansion, and if there was resistance, he would kill him. Jihe said: "At this time, the Danfeng Gate has been opened, and the civil and military officials have already entered the palace to cry. We must not let a few patriarchs be hijacked by them. Mr. Yang, you must control the Danfeng Gate with [*] troops. , only take the Daming Palace."

Yang Jihe took the lead. But Jia Lian still held him, "I have one more thing to explain. In case something goes wrong"

Yang Jihe said in a deep voice: "Then I will send a yellow signal to kill Zhongshun Mansion and An Guo Mansion, and start a massacre in the palace to cover the retreat of the ladies in the garden."

Jia Lian patted his shoulder and smiled: "If I die, what else will the world do?"

Yang Jihe nodded and said, "Dong Weng, the next time we meet, either in the sky or in the Daming Palace. Then, Yang will ask Dong Weng for a few glasses of wine!"

Jia Lian laughed, and the two parted ways. Jia Lian led the troops to the Xuanwu Gate. Yang Jihe planned to enter the palace from the right Yintai Gate, and also entered the Daming Palace from the back, and then controlled the Danfeng Gate from the inside. After a while, Jia Lian came to Xuanwu, and the gatehouse was heavily guarded. The guard was Yulin General Sun Yu. When he saw the leader coming, he immediately took a bow and shot an arrow, shouting: "What does Duke Rong want? Could it be that it was you who rebelled?"

Jia Lian stepped back and cupped his hands: "General Sun, I have entered the palace through the Xuanwu Gate on the order of the Empress, and I have the empress' token in my hand!"

As he said that, he held the token in his hand to show Sun Yu upstairs. This Sun Yu knew this early, he sneered: "Master Jia, you are bringing so many people, how dare you open the door at the end?"

Jia Lian smiled and said: "I'm just following orders! If General Sun has any doubts, why don't you open the city gate, I will only bring a few people into the palace, and ask the empress, how?"

Sun Yu immediately smiled and said, "If that's the case, how can the last commander not believe that your lord just asked your lord to order his sergeants to stay out of sight, otherwise, the last commander would not dare to open the door!"

Jia Lian said loudly, "That's natural!"

As he said that, he really waved his hand behind him, leaving only the Ji brothers, Niu Dawang 2, and Jia Guo and Jia Shou 66. It was not until the army was out of sight that Sun Yu on the city tower ordered his subordinates to open the door. At the same time Hundreds of knives and axemen were ambushed on both sides of the palace entrance, waiting for Jia Lian to enter the door. Soon, the heavy door of Xuanwumen opened, and only a small part of it opened. Then Sun Yu walked out a few steps by himself, cupped his hands and smiled. : "Master Jia, please come in!"

Jia Lian smiled and whispered to the people around him: "As soon as we get to the door, Wang Er, you will send a signal to the back, Niu Da, hold Sun Yu, and the rest will guard the door with me, and wait until When our army arrives, we have won more than half of this trip!"

Everyone nodded secretly, and they were all on their guard. Jia Lian walked in front with his hands behind his back, and said to Sun Yu, "General Sun is always on duty, I will definitely say a few more good words to you in front of the empress and the emperor, so that you can be promoted. Level [*], how"

Sun Yu hurriedly laughed: "Thank you, Master Jia!"

As Jia Lian approached, he smiled even brighter. Seeing that he was about to reach the gate of the palace, Sun Yu suddenly turned around and ran away, shouting, "Come out and grab Jia Lian, quickly grab Jia Lian!"

Jia Lian and the others chased after him immediately. Ji Wujiu took out a short knife from his arms and threw it towards Sun Yu's heart. But he hit Sun Yu on the shoulder. I took it over. I saw more and more people coming out, and they will soon be surrounded. Wang Er immediately sent a signal. Jia Lian couldn't care so much at this time, and shouted: "The palace gate must be taken down! "

Several people pulled out the treasured swords from their waists and slashed at them. Sun Yu saw that Jia Lian not only did not run, but rushed in, he couldn't help being overjoyed and shouted, "Let them in, let's close the door and beat the dogs!"

It is said that this method is very good, but after all, the people under his command are not elites in a hundred battles. Just as Sun Yu was talking, Jia Lian and the others cut down seven or eight people. When Sun Yu said this, everyone backed away. Jia Lian The seven people kept chasing them all the way to the door. The door could only accommodate two or three people. After passing through, Niu Da rushed to the door, holding his hands and shouting, he was about to push the door open. On the other side, Jia Shou did the same. The rest He rushed in with Jia Lian and slaughtered the knife and axemen behind the door. The palace gate was about to open. Sun Yu also realized that he had made a big mistake at this moment, so he hurriedly stepped back, and shouted loudly: "Release the arrow! Shoot the arrows! Shoot them to death!"

At first, his subordinates were still hesitant. After all, there are still people in front of him, but Sun Yu can't care so much now. He must not let Jia Lian's army in. He grabbed his bow and arrow, aimed at Jia Lian and shot it. ."Be careful!"

Ji Wuchang's eyes and feet are fast and he blocks in front of Jia Lian without thinking. An arrow hits his heart. "Brother Wuchang!"

Jia Lian roared angrily, "Sun Yu! I'm going to smash your corpse into ten thousand pieces!"

At this moment, there was a deafening sound of horses' hooves outside the palace gate, and Jia Lian's Beijing battalion finally arrived. Not far away, there was a loud bang, as if the city tower was about to collapse.

Chapter [*]: Is the dynasty going to be destroyed? By the way, the loud noise just now was that Yang Jihe couldn't open the palace gate, so he just didn't do it again and again,,, and piled more than a thousand catties of gunpowder at the gate of the palace , the thick gate in the right Yintai gate was blown away. The soldiers from the Beijing camp poured into the palace like a tide. It was this sound that made everyone realize that something big happened! The people who have arrived at Daming Palace The cabinet ministers looked at each other, terrified. The first assistant Zhang Maoqing hurriedly sent people to go out to check the news. Someone immediately reported that Jia Lian rebelled and the Beijing soldiers entered the palace! Now they are killing people everywhere! Zhang Maoqing was shocked, "How can this be good? "

He couldn't help but look at Wang Ziteng, a senior scholar in the Wuying Palace. Ziteng said solemnly: "The plan for this day is to find the emperor immediately!"

The Minister of Rites, Jia Shouzhong, heard that Jia Lian dared to rebel, and he bit his teeth in hatred, "If he dares to hurt the emperor, he can only step over the old man's body!"

All the ministers were discussing and accusing Jia Lian of being ungrateful. Only Zhang Junming, the censor of the left capital of the Supreme Court, said in doubt: "Jia Lian has no reason to rebel, and there is no need to rebel at this time. There must be a problem in the middle."

Wang Ziteng sneered and said, "Whether he is a rebel or not, the Jingying soldiers who have entered the palace are traitors. We need to find the emperor immediately, and we will not let him succeed if we swear to death!"

Jia Shouzhong said angrily: "Hurry up, hurry up, the two palaces are at the funeral, we would rather all die than let the emperor have a slight chance!"

When he raised his arms, the ministers in the palace were also enthusiastic, and they were about to go out immediately. But when they were going out with their first assistant Zhang Maoqing, Yang Ji and Kankan blocked the door with knives. He smiled and said: "Everyone Bosses, where are you going?"

Immediately, a group of soldiers from the Beijing camp came in and surrounded the entire hall. Jia Shouzhong stood out from the crowd and shouted: "This old man knows you Yang Jihe, you say, what is Jia Lian wanting to do? place?"

Yang Jihe smiled and said: "Master Jia, calm down, how can my Dongweng kill the king? We must know that Emperor Daxing's queen is our Jia family! Let me tell you, something happened in the palace, King Zhongshun and Duke An Guo kidnapped the queen's concubine. I don't know if the emperor is among them, they still want to deceive my family Dongweng into the palace to do harm, fortunately, my family Dongweng found out, and the commander-in-chief Jingying army calmed the chaos! It will settle down soon."

Hearing that Jia Lian was not rebelling, Jia Shouzhong was relieved and asked, "Where is the emperor at the moment?"

Yang Jihe shook his head, "I'm looking for it too."

Wang Ziteng wanted to go out, but Yang Ji and his soldiers stopped him. Wang Ziteng shouted, "You dare to stop me"

Yang Jihe smiled gloomily: "Please step back. The chaos is still unresolved, and it is not time to carefully identify the good, the evil, the loyal and the traitor. If the patriarch insists on his own way, then I have to take down the adults and wait for the empress and the emperor to deal with them. break!"

With that said, he ordered the surrounding Jingying soldiers, "Whoever dares to leave this door will be shot to death!"

The soldiers of the Beijing camp responded with their swords, and many of them still had blood on their swords. These ministers were all important officials of the imperial court, and they were dismissed by an aide of the Jia family who did not even have an official position. They did not dare to say a word. They were speechless! After that, they yelled, but they didn't take a step. Yang Jihe just sneered, and now it's only Dongweng's side. Let's say that Jia Lian's army rushed into the Xuanwu Gate, and immediately killed the Yulin army that was blocked in the door. Sun Yu Soon after, Jia Lian was caught and Jia Lian asked, "Where did you take the Empress?"

Sun Yu slashed his hands backwards, still standing upright, trying to pretend to be unruly, next to Ji Wujiu lifted his leg and kicked his knee off, Sun Yu wailed, "Master Jia, the last commander really doesn't know! Forgive me!"

Jia Lian asked again, "Where is the Empress?"

Bean-sized sweat drops fell from Sun Yu's forehead, "Your Excellency, spare your life, the last commander really doesn't know!"

Jia Lian immediately took the knife in Ji Wujiu's hand and stabbed it into Sun Yu's chest, "Since you don't know, then there's no need to keep you."

Jia Lian got on his horse, "Let's go to Hanliang Hall first!"

So the nearly Wanjing battalion army, under the leadership of Jia Lian, went on a rampage. Unexpectedly, when they reached the Changge Hall, there were hundreds of Shenwu troops blocking their way. Shenwu general Liu Yong was currently cursing: "Rebel Jia Lian, so I made a mistake. You! Just after the death of the first emperor, you rebelled! You are really a wolf-hearted, and you are not as good as pigs and dogs!"

Knowing that he has always been loyal, Jia Lian didn't want to embarrass him, so he said loudly: "General Liu, King Zhongshun's rebels kidnapped the empress and emperor heir, they are rebels, I was ordered to fight the rebels and pacify the chaos, don't misunderstand! "

"Pooh!"

That Liu Yong angrily said, "No matter how eloquent you are, you will never pass by me!"

Next to Ji Wujiu persuaded: "Sir, things are urgent now, we must find the people of King Zhongshun as soon as possible to prevent them from escaping the palace, and we can't delay here!"

Jia Lian frowned, "So, offended!"

He first ordered the release of arrows, and then the army charged. Liu Yong's Shenwu army collapsed immediately. Fortunately, Jia Lian was merciful and left Liu Yong alive and tied him aside. But when they rushed into the Hanliang Temple, There were several palace maids and eunuchs who were trembling with fright, but there was no one. When he was hesitating, a palace maid ran into the palace and insisted on seeing Rong Guogong. Jia Lian hurried out, but it was the palace maid he rescued yesterday. The palace maid was slashed in the hand and was supported by two soldiers. When she saw Jia Lian coming over, she immediately said: "My lord, the servants heard that they went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and plan to leave the palace through the Zuoyintai gate. Hurry up. Go save the concubine and the emperor!"

After speaking, he passed out. Jia Lian asked two people to guard him, and immediately rushed to the Hall of Supreme Harmony with his light cavalry. Not far ahead, King Zhongshun and Duke An Guo brought hundreds of soldiers of the forest army and carried Empress Dowager Yu. Nian, tied Yuan Chun and the little emperor and threw them on the board, and hurried to the left Yintai gate. They never thought that Jia Lian would storm the palace, and even use gunpowder to blow up the palace gate. Therefore, when they knew that Beijing When the battalions entered the palace, the situation was over, and there was only one way before them. They took the empress dowager Jia Yuanchun and the little emperor to escape from the palace, and then called on the king of diligence in the world! Qin Kangjie and King Zhongshun still have some friendship, and it is more in the east of the palace, only the left Yintai gate can be entered and exited. An Guogong scolded Sun Yu for his incompetence with a stern look on his face. At this time, the empress dowager stopped Yu Nian, come down. King Zhongshun hurried forward and said: "The Queen Mother, the thieves are coming, you can't delay here!"
