Hanyang Palace has a total of twenty-four halls.
Today is the birthday of Xu Shouhui’s eldest son. A few days ago, Xu Shouhui issued an order to celebrate his eldest son’s birth and death at the Zichen Palace and to confer him the title of crown prince.
It is already the middle of Chenshi, and the palace should be full of joy.
However, when Ni Wenjun broke into the palace with a large number of officials and guards, he only saw Xu Shouhui.
Xu Shouhui sat quietly on the stone steps of the treasure platform, with a calm expression and his eyes staring at the people who broke into the palace.
"Ni Qing, you brought so many people to see me, do you have anything to say?"
Ni Wenjun vaguely felt that something was not right, but with the arrow on the bowstring, he had no choice but to shoot. He glanced at his brother Ni Wenyu behind him.
Ni Wenyu strode forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, since the capital of Qizhou was defeated, our army has been like a lost dog. It is all thanks to Mr. Ni that he stood up in the danger and our army was able to make a comeback. We and other ministers discussed it and decided to appoint Mr. Ni.
With your leadership, our army will be more prosperous. I hope that your majesty will follow the ways of Yao and Shun and take the throne of Ni Gong, so that your majesty can also be relieved of his burdens and enjoy peace and happiness!"
Xu Shouhui looked at the ministers and said coldly: "Is this what you all think?"
All the ministers echoed in unison.
Ni Wenyu said again: "Your Majesty, please make a decision early to avoid causing trouble to Xiao Qiang!"
Suddenly I heard someone laughing loudly.
"Ni Wenjun, you used to be a brave general, but since you took power, you have become corrupt, mean, ungrateful, domineering and arrogant. If you were to lead the Tianwan Army, everyone would die with you!" p>
The man was originally standing behind Ni Wenjun. When he was talking, he slowly walked to Xu Shouhui and stood beside Xu Shouhui respectfully.
Ni Wenjun stared at the man and said sternly: "Xu Pu Sheng, I knew you were going to betray me! Come on, capture him for me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of metal collision, and hundreds of soldiers wearing armor and holding swords poured out from the left and right rooms of the hall.
Ni Wenjun's expression changed drastically. He stared at the leader of the group of sergeants and said sternly: "How did you enter the palace?"
The leader was none other than Zhang Dingbian. He stared at Ni Wenjun expressionlessly, as if he were looking at a dead man.
Suddenly, I heard a sad voice coming from behind.
"Of course we let him in, Marshal Ni, please get on your way!"
Ni Wenjun hurriedly turned around and saw a general behind him pulling out a sword and slashing at him. Many of the accompanying sergeants also rebelled against the water at the same time.
"Pfft!"
Ni Wenyu flew to block Ni Wenjun's knife, spitting blood from his mouth, and shouted at Ni Wenjun: "Brother, we have been fooled, let's go!"
In the blink of an eye, the people in the hall fell into a melee. Ni Wenjun had already been drained of his will by the wine and beauty. When he suddenly encountered a sudden change, he was confused and didn't know how to deal with it.
Fortunately, his secret guards were all highly skilled in martial arts and quickly protected him in the center, stabilizing the situation.
Suddenly a scream was heard, and a secret guard was lifted up by Zhang Dingbian. Zhang Dingbian broke off his arm and used him as a human stick. When he raised his hand and waved it, it seemed that he had the power of a thousand catties. All the secret guards
All are invincible.
While Ni Wenjun was stunned, Zhang Dingbian came to him like a murderer and reached out to grab his neck.
A secret guard ran from the side and slashed at Zhang Dingbian's outstretched hand.
Zhang Dingbian retracted his arm and caught the opponent's blade with his armpit, then reached out and grabbed the opponent's head and twisted it.
With a "click", the secret guard's head rotated 180 degrees, facing Ni Wenjun, with blood spraying from his mouth.
Ni Wenjun finally woke up in fear and wanted to retreat, but Zhang Dingbian's big hand that had just unscrewed a head grabbed him again.
At the critical moment, another secret guard who was not afraid of life and death jumped on Zhang Dingbian from behind, strangled Zhang Dingbian's neck with one hand, and stabbed Zhang Dingbian in the head with a short dagger in the other hand.
Zhang Dingbian hit his head backwards, and with a "pop" sound, the secret guard screamed, all his front teeth were smashed, and his face was covered with blood.
Zhang Dingbian reached back and grabbed the secret guard's head, and swung it to his side. Just as another secret guard came from the side with a gun, the two collided with each other, making a harsh sound of bones breaking. Zhang Ding turned around and looked around, and then realized that Ni Wenjun had taken advantage of the moment and escaped towards the gate under the protection of several secret guards.
He kicked away a secret guard blocking the way and chased after him.
At the time of the coup in the palace, wars were also breaking out in various parts of the city.
All Ni Wenjun's direct troops were attacked, and in less than half a day, most of them were killed or injured.
Fortunately, when Ni Wenjun was building the Hanyang Palace, he secretly prepared a secret passage. No one under his command knew about it, and all the craftsmen who dug the secret passage were killed by him.
With this secret passage, he successfully escaped from Hanyang with some of his direct descendants and headed towards Huangzhou.
Chen Youliang was very surprised when he learned that Ni Wenjun came to him with his remaining troops.
After being silent for a long time, he ordered his subordinates: "Invite Marshal Ni to the rooftop."
The subordinate asked: "Where are Marshal Ni's followers?"
Chen Youliang said calmly: "As soon as he left, he buried everything."
The men left as promised.
Ni Wenjun has not left Hanyang for a long time, and he never expected that Chen Youliang would build such a high palace in Huangzhou.
This sky-watching platform is higher than the city wall and is located in the north of Huangzhou City. Standing on the stone platform, you can see the entire city clearly.
There are steps on only one side of the rooftop, and the stone steps are very long. Ni Wenjun walked for a quarter of an hour before reaching the top. Looking up, he saw a stone table and stone chairs on the top.
Chen Youliang was sitting on the stone chair with his back to him, seeming to be admiring the beautiful scenery of Huangzhou City.
Ni Wenjun took a deep breath and walked slowly over.
"Lord, what do you think of the scenery here?" Chen Youliang asked with his back still turned to him.
Ni Wenjun looked around and said: "Very good."
Chen Youliang finally turned around and said with a grin: "That's good. You are kind to me after all. You must choose a place you like to die!"
When Ni Wenjun heard that he wanted to kill him, he was not surprised and just asked: "Do you have any wine?"
Chen Youliang said coldly: "You are going to die, so don't take the things of living people!"
Ni Wenjun chuckled and said: "Xu Pu Sheng said that I am mean and unkind. I think you will only be even meaner to others when you sit in my position in the future!"
Chen Youliang said: "Then you are wrong. I am only mean to useless people. To those who are useful, I will be more generous than anyone else!"
Ni Wenjun snorted and looked at the distant view of Huangzhou City without saying anything for a long time.
Chen Youliang suddenly said: "You know clearly that I am harming you behind your back, why do you still come to me?"
Ni Wenjun glanced at him and said: "When I left Hanyang, I did have some doubts about you, but I still hoped that you would be loyal to me. It's a pity that I was wrong!"
Chen Youliang sneered and said: "Don't say it so nice, you can't let go of glory and wealth, and imagine that I can help you take back Hanyang! If you are willing to give up, maybe you don't have to die today!"
Ni Wenjun trembled all over, turned his head and stared at Chen Youliang.
"I ask myself, I am not mean to you, why would you betray me?"
A cruel smile flashed in Chen Youliang's eyes.
"I guess Xu Shouhui also wants to ask you this. Your answer is my answer!"
Ni Wenjun's eyes sharpened and he roared: "If we want to die, let's die together!"
He took out a dagger from his sleeve and threw it towards Chen Youliang.
"Whoosh!"
An arrow shot through the air and passed through Ni Wenjun's neck.
Ni Wenjun fell softly to the ground, his eyes widened, obviously unwilling to die.
Chen Youliang stepped over Ni Wenjun's body and said to a guard: "Cut off the head and send it to my mansion, and then bury the body properly!"
April, the fifteenth year of Zhizheng.
There was a coup within the Tianwan Army. Ni Wenjun attempted to harm Xu Shouhui, but failed. When he fled Huangzhou to join his old army Chen Youliang, he was killed by Chen Youliang.
After this coup, Chen Youliang took over all the power of Ni Wenjun, but he was not as domineering as Ni Wenjun and was extremely respectful in front of Xu Shouhui.
Xu Shouhui has been a puppet emperor for too long and is too frustrated.
Now that he is out of trouble, Chen Youliang will naturally be greatly rewarded for rescuing him. Not only will he be given the title of Ping Zhang, but he will also be consulted on all major and minor matters.
At Chen Youliang's suggestion, he continued to appoint Wuxing Pusheng as prime minister, and did not recall Ming Yuzhen and Ding Pulang.
The wheel of history has passed over Ni Wenjun, and the world has turned to a new chapter.
