MTL - Feng Xing-Chapter 156

It can be said that all those present today are important officials of the court.

There are six ministers, as well as Dali Temple Minister, Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Honglu Temple Minister. Among them, there are eight people in the cabinet, except for Zhao Shujie, these eight people have not stated their positions for the time being.

King Hui's rebellion is a certainty, and His Majesty's whereabouts are unknown, so the purpose of forging the will is very clear at this time.

King Hui clearly wanted to ascend the throne with a false edict, but what if His Majesty suddenly appeared again?

Perhaps Hui Wang has already determined that Emperor Jianping will not appear. After all, it is the Zhonggong family who said that Emperor Jianping lost his whereabouts from the beginning to the end. Even if Ji Zhongnian and others witnessed it with their own eyes before, who knew that it wasn't an obscurity caused by Zhonggong?

Who dares to stand up?

There is no doubt that standing up can please King Hui, but if this matter is revealed one day, it will bear the world's infamy, and I am afraid that the ancestors will not be safe underground.

Don't look at these grown-ups fighting in the court, they don't change their faces, that's the bottom line of what they know, if this kind of thing appears in the history books, it is destined to be reviled forever, no one dares to do it so easily promise.

One of seven people goes out, that is, one of seven is selected.

Feng Sheng watched coldly from the sidelines, I'm afraid this will be a difficult decision.

There is no doubt that people are afraid of death, but there are obviously some things that are more important than death. Even if someone really wants to be greedy for life and fear death, if he is not pushed to a dead end, can he give up his face and backbone to show cowardice in front of his old opponents who have been fighting for decades?

King Hui was probably in a hurry.

Obviously separating everyone and breaking them one by one is the easiest way, but he chose the most stupid method.

Sometimes Feng Sheng admired herself quite a bit, and when the situation was so critical, she thought about it instead.

"If you don't eat the toast, do you want to drink the fine wine?" King Hui cursed, smashing the finger wrench in his hand.

He was about to say something more when a guard hurried in from the door.

"Your Highness, King Wu led people to surround Xiyuan."

"Damn it!"

King Hui knew for a long time that with the power of Concubine Hu Gui and others, the news would leak out sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. The Hu family was originally a family of generals, and although they were not considered extremely high-ranking ministers, they always had military power in their hands. Hu Guifei's father, Hu Bingcheng, was the commander-in-chief of Datong in his early years, guarding one of the important towns on the nine borders, and he was a loyal confidant of Emperor Jianping.

Later, he returned to the capital due to injury and was granted the title of Marquis of Xiangcheng. The eldest son Hu Dong was in charge of the three thousand battalions, one of the three battalions in Beijing, and was one of the main forces defending the capital.

A large part of the reason why Mr. Lu would suggest King Hui to close the Nine Gates was to guard against the Hu family, but he did not expect the Hu family to move so quickly.

"How many people did he bring?" After the words were spoken, King Hui realized that this place is not suitable for talking, so he hurriedly turned his head and walked out.

With his departure, the door was closed again, but the eyes of the people in the hall were intertwined, which implied mutual understanding.

Since Wu Wang stepped forward to disrupt the situation, at least they won a glimmer of life.

Feng Sheng glanced at everyone, didn't stay any longer, and retreated to the inner room.

The imperial concubine is resting here.

Before Hui Wang found Emperor Jianping, he didn't dare to do anything to the imperial concubine, so unlike the adults outside, the situation of the imperial concubine and Feng Sheng was not bad.

The only thing that worries them is the three children, and I don't know if they are worried or frightened.

The only thing worthy of being independent is that since King Hui didn't touch the imperial concubine and Feng Sheng, he probably wouldn't touch the three children. But if the stalemate continues, no one knows, and no one knows what King Hui will do under his madness.

"We have to think of a way." The two said in unison.

Feng Sheng was still not in a panic, and roughly explained what happened outside just now. The imperial concubine breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to think that King Wu would come forward to disrupt the situation, and King Hui had no time to deal with them for the time being.

"Mother, where do you think the father will hide?"

The imperial concubine's eyes flickered, and she said: "It may be a place that no one knows. King Hui searched the entire Xiyuan, but he didn't find it? But Xiyuan is so big, there may be omissions. Don't worry too much, maybe this The scene is exactly what His Majesty wants to see. Look at King Hui jumping over the wall in a hurry, Zhao Shujie and Chen Qinghua have both surfaced, and King Wu is in a hurry again, forcing the Hu family to be used."

The imperial concubine did not finish the rest of the sentence, Feng Sheng could understand the meaning.

If Emperor Jianping reappeared when they were in such a mess, he would be able to get rid of everyone in one fell swoop without any effort.

There are some things in it that cannot be considered too deeply. For example, Emperor Jianping has relied heavily on Zhao Shujie these years, and the Hu family has supported him since Emperor Jianping was not enthroned. First, he returned to the capital from the General Soldier of Datong to serve as the commander of the 3000 Battalion. It seemed that he was closer to the center of power, but Feng Sheng still knew that such important border generals would not want to return to Beijing, because once they returned Beijing represents the seizure of military power.

The Hu family seems to have acquired a hereditary Marquis of Xiangcheng, but the difference is like a person who knows how warm and cold the drinking water is. It is only from the fact that in recent years, the Hu family has gradually reduced to an ordinary place in Beijing, apart from holding the position of commander of the 3000 Battalion. The royal relatives and relatives are the same, and you can see the clues.

And behind King Hui, apart from the Chen family standing, there are also many dignitaries and ministers who are intertwined in the capital. If her guess is correct, what does Emperor Jianping want to do, to clean up the court?

How big the turmoil this would cause, Feng Sheng didn't need to think about it, but felt shuddering.

Then why did Emperor Jianping do this?

A faint guess emerged in her mind, and she glanced at the imperial concubine again.

The imperial concubine seemed to be worried about something, she kept looking out of the window, obviously the window was closed and she couldn't see anything.

"Mom, I think we should think of a way to hide with the three children first."

The imperial concubine froze for a moment, and said: "But now it's raining outside, and it's getting dark, and there are so many guards outside, it doesn't matter who is the enemy, what if you meet the guards and get hurt by mistake?"

It's not unreasonable for the imperial concubine to say this, she could be safe temporarily if she stayed here, but if she went out and met the guards of Search Xiyuan, she would be regarded as a suspicious person and would fight with swords if she disagreed with her. This matter was not imagined, the guards in the palace treated unknown people as assassins.

"Then wait a little longer?"

"Wait a little longer, don't worry too much."

Feng Sheng felt that he should also feel at ease, after all the imperial concubine gave him so many hints. But at times like this, it's hard to feel at ease after all.

This is destined to be a sleepless night, probably no one in the entire inner city can sleep.

After all, the commotion outside was so loud that it woke up many people.

West Changjie and Beichang Street were illuminated by torches like daylight. The rain didn't know when it stopped, and it couldn't hide the serious faces of the opposing sides.

On the gate tower of Xiyuan Gate, King Hui was guarded by many guards, and he was talking to King Wu who was also guarded by guards downstairs.

This scene looked a little funny at first glance, but in terms of safety, it was the most appropriate approach.

After all, King Hui's rebellion is a certainty at the moment. Of course, King Hui himself will not admit it. He keeps insisting that the imperial concubine and King Wei are conspiring against each other, but King Wu knows it well.

Now he and King Hui have the upper hand, if the other party ambushes a few archers in the dark, it would be a pity if an arrow is shot at them, what more do you ask for, just go back to wash and sleep. So knowing that doing so would make him feel too unvaliant, too greedy for life and afraid of death, the two of them remained the same.

"Since the elder brother can't be honest with each other, don't blame the younger brother for being rude." King Wu said harshly in his shiny armor.

On the gate tower, King Hui's figure could not be seen clearly, but the voice came down.

"If you break in by force, King Wu, you can weigh it clearly. This is treason."

"I am escorting my father, and you are the one who conspired against me. If you have a clear conscience, why didn't you let your lords come out, and why didn't you let me in?"

In other words, back to the starting point again.

King Wu probably also realized that King Hui was deliberately delaying time, and he didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, so he waved his hand and ordered someone to attack.

The soldiers of the 3,000 Battalion are different from the Imperial Guards. In terms of armor and weapons, the Imperial Guards are of course excellent, but the Imperial Guards are for close combat, and their standing weapons are knives. Naturally, they also have archers, but they are extremely numerous. Little, and it will not appear at this moment.

The 3000 Battalion is composed of infantry and cavalry. The cavalry is good at bows, and the infantry is good at spears. They are even equipped with crossbows and shields, but it is immediately clear whether they are superior or not in one round.

The Hu family probably knew that the final result would be nothing more than a strong attack, so they specially prepared a group of archers, but after throwing shots at the sky, the people on the Xiyuan gate screamed and fell down.

King Hui hid in a panic, and even panicked, but he still yelled and ordered people to guard the door.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes, and at the same time there was the muffled sound of footsteps that shook the ground.

It seems that many people are stepping forward, and the steps are the same, so that this kind of sound is formed. Anyone who was born in the army would know that this is the arrival of an army with a large number of infantry.

It was still the horse that ran the fastest, and with a few neighings, several horses from a group of people had already stopped in front of the people.

The leader held up a bright yellow imperial decree, and said loudly: "Your Majesty has an order. King Hui colluded with Jiang Shujie, Minister of the Ministry of War, to close the Nine Gates without authorization. Order to take down a group of people and wait for His Majesty to deal with it."

Before the voice on this side fell, a sentence of "impossible" came from the gate tower.

King Wu was also in a panic, looking at his uncle Hu Dong, he was trying to distinguish something, when several cavalrymen walking behind stepped forward, the leader took off the hood on his cloak, revealing a handsome and Angular face.

It was King Wei.

"When did you go back to Beijing?" King Hui shouted, lying on the gate tower, his eyes tearing open.

"Brother, instead of worrying about when I will return to Beijing, why don't you think about how to explain to your father." King Wei said coldly.

As his voice fell, the army behind had already arrived.

Like streams of black water, it flowed in and surrounded the people of the 3000 Battalion and the Xiyuan Gate. It was the people of the Fifth Army Battalion.

This is the iron-blooded army that Emperor Jianping has always held firmly in his hands and has never left others behind, and is also the main force defending the capital.

The time was pulled back to half an hour ago.

Ever since King Hui took people to Xiyuan Gate, Empress Chen seemed particularly disturbed.

She has been staying in Baoyue Tower, and people have sent back news continuously. She sometimes closes her eyes and sometimes opens them, but she closes her eyes more often, and she is obviously restless.

She stood up suddenly and led the people to the west wing.

There were quite a few guards standing in front of the door of the west chamber, and they were all extremely surprised to see her hurrying over.

"What's going on inside?"

At this time, a **** ran from inside, it was He Nian, the chief **** next to Empress Chen.

He replied in a low voice: "I have listened to your mother's order, separated all the adults, and forcibly threatened and lured them, and even used some methods, but no one has let go yet."

"Where is the imperial concubine?"

He Nian glanced at the main room, and said: "The imperial concubine and Princess Wei are still locked inside, because there is no order from the empress, so no means have been used against them yet."

Empress Chen nodded and went to the main room without saying anything.

The guards outside the door saw that it was the empress, and no one dared to stop her, allowing her to break in.

The imperial concubine was exhausted all day, obviously she had reached her limit at the moment, she fell asleep on the kang. But Feng Sheng didn't feel sleepy at all, staring at the sheepskin palace lantern on the table in a daze.

With a gust of cold wind blowing in, Empress Chen brought people in.

"I really admire you, but you can sleep well."
