Chapter 1498 Queen Song: She is simply not a human being!
Chapter 1497 Queen Song: She is simply not a human being!
Shenjing City, Palace Garden
In Hanyuan Hall——
At this moment, Queen Song's snow-skinned face was full of righteousness. Under her beautiful and curved eyebrows, her sharp and beautiful eyes were scanning the ministers in the palace, and she was asking questions.
At this moment, a young eunuch looked flustered. As he spoke, he quickly entered the palace and said, "My Lady, the soldiers and horses are fighting again outside the palace."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the officials present in the palace suddenly changed.
Empress Song's white jade face, as crystal clear as snow, suddenly changed, and she exclaimed in shock: "What's going on?"
King Wei looked a little unhappy and said, "Queen Mother, I'm going to let people take a look."
Prince Liang frowned, his eyes were deep, and his handsome and fair face was also full of anger.
After a while, Wei Qi sent a young general into the palace and reported to King Wei: "Your Highness, King Chu and King Wei led the troops from the capital to attack the palace city."
King Wei: "..."
The empress of the Song Dynasty's jade face, as crystal clear as snow, suddenly changed a bit. Under the spring-green willow eyebrows, the sparkling beautiful eyes were full of disbelief.
That little fox just didn't want to help her, but he still treated her like this.
Simply unworthy of a man!
At this moment, Empress Song's jade face, as white as snow, was like a thin layer of frost. There was an inexplicable resentment in her heart, and she almost wanted to die with someone.
How can you do this?
It was fine not to help her, but he actually helped the King of Chu?
The faces of the officials in the palace were first surprised and then happy. Who knows the name of Prince Wei?
When Prince Wei came, the big man was saved.
A long-tested imperial guard, you can criticize and slander him in any way. The servant is sincere, well, he accidentally spoke his true words.
They must be on guard against generals.
In the cabinet train, Li Zan, the chief minister of the cabinet, looked relieved and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The longer things remain at such a stalemate, the greater the damage to the central authority's prestige.
Gao Zhongping, the second assistant to the cabinet, also had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
Among the officials in the Hanlin Academy, Lu Li, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, frowned and his eyes flashed coldly, but he was extremely worried about this scene.
After this incident, Prince Wei gained a great reputation and his prestige in the court was even greater.
Qi Kun, Lu Jiang and others had different thoughts, and their faces were also full of worry.
We are also worried that Jia Heng’s intervention will lead to more complicated changes in the DPRK situation.
Gao Zhongping advised: "My dear, if the trouble continues, I'm afraid it will be difficult to end."
Under Li Zan's thin, slack eyebrows, his eyes were deep, staring at the splendid beauty, and he persuaded her: "Your Majesty, regardless of the right and wrong of this matter, how do the people in the world view the royal family when they are at war with each other?
The Queen is a virtuous queen, how can she make mistakes again and again?"
Empress Song raised her eyebrows, anger showed in her crystal clear eyes, and asked sternly: "Why do I make the same mistake again and again?"
Li Zan shook his head and offered some persuasion, saying: "Your Majesty, when the matter has reached such a stage, the Han State is still the most important thing."
Empress Song's jade face, which was as crystal clear as snow, did not lose any of its frosty color. She said in a deep voice: "Why didn't Mr. Li Ge put the country first and dethrone the King of Chu from his position in the East Palace?"
Li Zan nodded and said in a low voice: "Empress, how can my cabinet dare to obey such chaotic orders? How will the people of the world view my cabinet?"
King Shuirong of Beijing and a group of military ministers looked at the Wei and Liang vassals with some sympathy.
The situation has reached this point, and it is no longer easy to end.
And when there was a lot of noise and arguments in the palace——
On the other side, the palace of Prince Wei and the yamen were shrouded in a layer of gloom and gloom.
Song Jing and Deng Wei, who were sitting on pearwood chairs, were stunned when they heard the chaos in the Five Cities Military and Horse Division at this moment.
"Aren't we asking you to guard Ningrong Street? How can we let Jia Ziyu go out to fetch reinforcements?" Song Jing said sternly, with anger seeming to surge on her fair face.
"The prestige of Prince Wei is so great that his brothers regard him as a god. How can you dare to stop him if you don't know what's going on?" The general of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division was in a panic, sweating profusely in the winter, and said clearly.
"Where did Prince Wei go?" Song Jing couldn't care less and asked again.
The general said: "We went to the city gate."
There was a trace of worry in Deng Wei's old eyes, and he said: "This is to mobilize the capital camp. The prestige of the Wei Commandery King is outstanding. As long as he climbs high and shouts, he can lead the troops and recapture the palace city.
I’m afraid the prince’s situation in the city will be even more difficult.”
When Song Jing heard this, his brows were filled with worry and his mood was inexplicable.
Not long after, a soldier stumbled over from outside and said: "Prince Wei led the soldiers and horses of the Beijing Camp to break up the blockade of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division."
In this way, Jia Heng rode away from Ningguo Mansion. Although the soldiers shouted and shouted, they could not stop him, but some soldiers quickly gathered the news to Wei Wangfu and asked Song Jing to make a decision.
Song Jing frowned and said regretfully: "We should have sealed off the Ning and Rong mansions from the beginning."
I had misjudged the situation before, or was deceived by Jia Heng's "it has nothing to do with me" attitude.
It was still the case that the King of Wei was inexperienced and lacked the ruthless determination and decisiveness to kill.
In other words, Jia Heng was even Song Jing's son-in-law. Even if he was given such orders, his subordinates would not dare to mess around.
Song Jing looked frightened and asked, "What should we do now?"
Deng Wei's face was as solemn as iron, and he said worriedly: "The matter has come to this, we can only wait and see how the situation changes."
After hearing this, Song Jing was still unsettled.
Now we can't send soldiers from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division to arrest the female family members and threaten Jia Heng. After all, he is his son-in-law, and Yan'er is also in Ningguo Mansion.
In fact, Chen Xiao has already dispatched a group of guards and servants of the Jia Mansion to closely guard the Ningguo Mansion to prevent the rebels from disturbing the female family members in the mansion.
…
…
Palace garden, in front of the palace gate——
On this side, Jia Heng led a group of elite troops from the Beijing camp and swept towards the palace city in a mighty manner.
Wherever the five thousand soldiers and horses passed by, the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department did not dare to stop them. Instead, they followed the military orders of King Wei and pressed down on the ground, obviously because they were worried about another trouble.
Jia Heng, riding on a maroon horse and holding a sheathed sword, stood in front of Anshun Gate.
Behind him were a large number of guards from the Beijing camp, and the soldiers on the city gate were holding weapons and fighting with the Beijing camp.
At this moment, all the way along, the soldiers of the Wucheng Bingma Division did not know that they were rebelling. In other words, the King of Wei did not notify the ordinary soldiers in charge of martial law in the Wucheng Bingma Division.
This is presumably the reason why King Chu was able to escape from the palace to the vicinity of Ningguo Mansion.
This is actually very easy to understand, because such a confidential matter as rebellion can only be planned with a core group of cronies, and the generals and colonels of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division mostly obey orders and help block the news from the palace to prevent people in the palace.
Someone came out to bring in reinforcements.
If he were the king of Wei and came to impose martial law on the whole city, he would use his trusted generals to command the military and horse divisions of the five cities, and he would force his subordinates severely and not allow one person or one horse to pass through the streets, and any offenders would be shot without mercy.
At least many accidents can be avoided.
Jia Heng raised his eyes and looked up, his face was as gloomy as iron, his eyes were cold and flashing, and he said loudly: "Brothers on the top of the city, listen, I am the king of Wei County, and the king of Wei led the troops to rebel and attack the palace city.
If you wait for your followers to rebel, you have already committed a serious crime, and you should rein in the situation and put things right in time."
At this moment, it can be seen that on top of the vermilion-painted palace city, many of the soldiers guarding the city are making strange movements.
Some of them were soldiers mobilized from the capital camp by Runan Hou Weiqi. When they saw Jia Heng, they couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Under his sword-shaped brows, Jia Heng's gaze was as sharp as a sword. He immediately caught a glimpse of one of the tall and burly generals, and he knew him. He was Yan Jinlai, the governor of Liwei Camp, and he had once served as a general under him.
It can be said that Jia Heng has been in the army for five years and has already weaved a large network of contacts in the Jingying camp. From the senior generals in the Jingying camp to the mid-level generals, many of them were promoted and cultivated by him.
Jia Heng looked solemn and said loudly: "General Yan, you were also a meritorious general who quelled the rebellion in the northwest and wiped out the Liaodong. You were transferred because of your merits. Now you are rebelling with troops. Aren't you afraid of the imperial court's legal sanctions?"
Yan Jinlai was speechless when being questioned. He was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Prince Wei, we have received great favor from His Highness the King of Wei. The King of Wei has both political integrity and talent, and he is a direct descendant, but he is not destined to be in the East Palace. We really can't bear it.
Doesn’t Prince Wei express his grievances for the King of Wei?”
Jia Heng nodded, his eyes paused slightly, and he said coldly: "Although the situation of King Wei is really pitiful, your Majesty also has the interests of the Han Dynasty in mind. If the country has a wise king, trouble will not arise. I am waiting for the generals of the Beijing camp to fight in the north and south, okay?
It is easy to conquer this peaceful and prosperous era, how can we let the Han Dynasty reignite the war?"
Following Jia Heng's encouraging words, hesitation appeared on the faces of the soldiers in the Beijing camp on top of the city.
In other words, Jia Heng can suppress the soldiers in the Beijing camp just by standing there. This is the card.
After all, since Jia Heng led the army, he has made great achievements in battle and his prestige is widely spread among the army. He almost single-handedly created the Han Dynasty's capital camp and annihilated Liaodong.
However, because the guards of the Wei and Liang dynasties were hand-picked by the Wei and Liang vassals, they were all elite and brave men, and they did not buy into Jia Heng's fault.
At this moment, Runan Hou Weiqi stood on the top of the city, looking blankly, and said in a deep voice: "Prince Wei, a certain Runan Hou Weiqi."
Under his sword-shaped eyebrows, Jia Heng raised his eyes to look at Wei Qi and shouted: "Marquis of Runan, you led the troops to rebel, why are you doing this?"
Wei Qi's face was solemn and he said in a deep voice: "The Holy One was bewitched by the King of Chu and established the East Palace. The King of Chu was a vassal. The current queen has other heirs, who are also legitimate sons. Why can't it be established as the East Palace? Even if it is Duan Rong, the noble concubine.
, there is another son who is smart and honest, who is also worthy of a great responsibility, and Prince Wei is also a man who understands things well, how can he not know justice?"
This is also the benefit of knowing.
Because Jia Heng's wife is Princess Xianning, even if the eighth prince ascends the throne, Jia Heng will still not sit on the bench.
Jia Heng said loudly: "Marquis of Runan, your Majesty has worked hard for the Han Dynasty all his life since he succeeded to the throne. He has worked hard for the Han Dynasty and has become sick from overwork. Only then can we have the prosperous age of the Han Dynasty. Now that our Majesty has appointed the King of Chu as the crown prince, he must have some profound meaning. I
I just obey my orders, how can I be disobedient? How much more can I raise an army to force the palace? How can such a rebellious and unethical act be convinced by the people?"
The King of Wei was actually a tragic figure like the prince Liu Zhi, so there were people who were willing to do things for him.
At this point, Jia Heng's face paused slightly, and he said loudly: "Marquis of Runan, open the city gate and welcome the army into the city. I can intercede with the Holy One and ask for leniency for your rebellious soldiers and generals."
The Marquis of Runan, Wei Qi, looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Prince Wei, I forgive you for obeying your order."
Jia Heng frowned and said not much, "Here, prepare cannons and fire to attack the city!"
While they were talking, a group of Jinyi palace guards could be seen pushing black red cannons one after another and firing non-stop at the city gate.
"Rumble..."
These were the artillery pieces that he had just ordered to be specially transported from the top of the city with the help of mules and horses, just to prepare for this situation.
In a short while, thick smoke billowed from the Hongyi cannon, and it fired towards the city. The sound of the cannons rumbled and shook the surrounding areas, which could be said to shake the heartstrings.
And this scene was undoubtedly promoted intentionally or unintentionally by Jia Heng.
When the palace was bombarded, in the eyes of the people of Shenjing City, the sanctity of the Chen and Han royal family was shattered, and the awe of the royal family among the soldiers in the Beijing camp was also reduced.
The soldiers above the palace city were holding weapons to defend at this moment. They were obviously caught off guard and were hit by the artillery fire. It could be seen that as debris flew in all directions, some soldiers were hit by shrapnel, and bursts of screams and muffled groans could be heard.
Runan Hou Weiqi's face was as solemn as iron. He looked at the soldiers and generals coming up like a tide below. No one knew how terrifying Prince Wei was than he did.
At this moment, a wooden ladder several feet high was erected toward the city wall. Many soldiers climbed up the wooden ladder, holding bright long knives and fighting with the soldiers of the Wei and Chu mansions.
.
As time passed quickly, along with the sound of the blade entering the flesh, shouts of killing could be heard from up and down the palace city. The extremely elite soldiers from the Beijing camp almost swarmed to the top of the palace city like a tide. Wei and Liang
The Fufu guards began to retreat steadily.
Seeing this scene, Runan Hou Weiqi's face was as cold as frost. He stared at the continuous attack like a tide below, and felt a bad premonition in his heart.
Thinking like this, Runan Hou Weiqi ordered the deputy general beside him, lowered his voice and said loudly: "Quick, go and inform His Highness that the situation is critical and make a decision immediately!"
The lieutenant general responded urgently, then turned around and left with several junior officers, entering the palace to report to the King of Wei in Hanyuan Hall.
Palace Garden, Anshun Gate
After half an hour, accompanied by a rumbling sound, the two palace city gates with vermilion copper nails slowly opened amidst the shouts of killing. The soldiers on the city head held weapons and weapons to welcome the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp.
The tide generally entered the palace city.
Wei Qi, accompanied by several armored soldiers and generals, slowly retreated to the palace, relying on the palace wall to fight with the Beijing cavalry.
"Ping ping ping pong..."
Soldiers from both sides fought each other, and the sound of swords and guns clashing was heard, followed by muffled grunts. Many soldiers fell to the ground, with pools of blood and corpses lying on top of each other.
On Jia Heng's side, accompanied by the generals from the Beijing camp, they suddenly poured into the palace in large numbers. The soldiers and horses from the Beijing camp, armed with weapons, moved toward the palace to kill them.
"Whoever surrenders will avoid death!"
Jia Heng was riding on a horse with his eyes as bright as lightning. Immediately, escorted by the soldiers from the Beijing camp, he said loudly.
As the drumming noises of the soldiers around them gradually sounded, the soldiers in the Beijing camp were somewhat shaken. Amidst the clang of weapons falling to the ground, they dropped their weapons one after another.
At this moment, Jia Heng was sitting on the saddle, leading the way. He raised his eyes and looked at the towering palace in the distance, and shouted: "Come here, drive away the rebels, collect the weapons, and enter the palace."
Following the promise of the soldiers beside him, as he spoke, he galloped away towards Hanyuan Hall.
In the Hanyuan Hall of the Daming Palace, the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty held ivory wat tablets and looked at each other in silence, watching the changes in the situation.
The officials in the palace were frightened and disoriented from the beginning when they suddenly heard about the coup. As time passed, their fear gradually disappeared and they became sympathetic.
Only some knowledgeable people began to worry about this scene.
Gao Zhongping frowned, and a dark look appeared in his eyes.
After this farce-like conspiracy, the authority of the Central Committee has been shaken, especially the Holy One. After this incident, I am afraid that he will not make it to the end of the year.
Because the two vassals of Wei and Liang rebelled, the prestige of the central government was seriously shaken. If coupled with the collapse of the Ancestral Temple and the rebellion of the King of Qi, it would be easy to think that the Chen and Han clan was immoral.
When a country is about to perish, evildoers will appear.
The so-called incident with bad political impact has shaken the legitimacy of the government and shocked China and foreign countries.
This is what people want, and it is also the reason why Jia Heng previously insisted on justice.
At this moment, a tall and thin young official from outside the palace entered the palace, cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, King Wei is leading an increasingly aggressive offensive and has already sent troops to attack the palace city."
When all the ministers in the palace heard this, their hearts moved inexplicably, and they were clearly discussing secretly.
Because Jia Heng's ability to lead troops has been repeatedly verified, this marks that Jia Heng, the king of Wei County, chose to side with Emperor Chongping this time.
This is the rightful name!
King Chen Ran of Wei, with a face as gloomy as iron, shouted angrily and said, "Jia Ziyu has gone too far to bully others!"
He did not expect that Jia Ziyu would end up helping King Chu after all calculations.
Have you forgotten how he arranged for Fifth Sister to marry him? Have you forgotten all the courtesy he gave her?
Empress Song's jade face, as crystal clear as snow, was also covered with a layer of inexplicable shame.
Even though the beauty had scolded Jia Heng countless times, she still didn't have the courage to fight Jia Heng to the death when the real thing came.
Why is everything so desperate? Could it be that the whole world is clamoring that she was bullied by that bastard and even got pregnant with his two children?
The beauty's face is slightly covered with frost, and her heart is secretly gritting her teeth with hatred.
Li Zan, the chief assistant of the cabinet, nodded, his eyes were deep, and he said warmly: "His Royal Highness, King Wei, please immediately send someone to open the palace door and confess to Your Majesty. You can still preserve your wealth and honor, and you must never go your own way again."
Wei Wang Chen Ran said: "There is no need to persuade Mr. Li Ge anymore. The matter has come to this. If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!"
Hearing this, Li Zan sighed secretly.
As time passed by like water, waves of reports came from the small school, and the situation they brought became more and more urgent. Until the cry of death gradually approached, all the civil and military ministers in the palace looked up eagerly.
