Seeing that his subordinates had all climbed up the palace wall and seemed to be making no noise, Cui He breathed a sigh of relief.
Great, Taiwei is indeed trustworthy.
Next, let’s look at a certain family and the prince!
Cui He turned his head and glanced at Chen Pingyuan, who happened to be looking at him as well. They looked at each other and nodded, and then together they turned their attention to Sun Zhiming, who was looking at the palace gate in a daze.
"Master Sun, I don't, Gu, I have something that I don't understand. I wonder if Master Sun can do it."
Snapped!
"Shut up! What time has this happened? Why is Your Highness still thinking about what is there and what is not?" Sun Zhiming, who was interrupted from his beautiful fantasy, was furious. He slapped Chen Pingyuan and almost fell to the ground. Then, Just yelling
Just a bastard!
Do you think you can survive after I kill the old dog and the false emperor?
What qualifications do you have to surpass me and become emperor?
Tsk, as expected, this old dog can’t even pretend anymore.
Holding his cheek which was starting to become red, swollen and hot, Chen Pingyuan sneered, suddenly pulled out the dagger from his waist and put it against Sun Zhiming's throat.
Seeing that the Crown Prince suddenly rose up and took Master Sun hostage, Sun Zhiming's direct descendants were shocked. They all picked up weapons and tried to surround the two men.
"Don't move, or I'll kill him!" Chen Pingyuan shouted hysterically at the crowd.
"These" remaining seven hundred people were suddenly in a dilemma. The prince and the chief assistant, Sun Shi, were in conflict.
Helping Master Sun kill the Crown Prince would be treason and regicide, but just letting the Crown Prince do what he wants would be a bit unfair to Master Wei's kindness to him, and would also make himself a treacherous person who only listens to the king's orders?
Several households looked at Cui He, the most powerful official in the field besides Master Sun and the Crown Prince.
"Master Qianhu." A Baihu took a step forward and looked at Cui He with a troubled expression.
"Don't act rashly yet. I'm going to go up and try to persuade the prince. It's already this time. If there are any conflicts, we should wait until later!" Cui He complained in a low voice towards the hundred households.
"Uh-huh, then I'll have to trouble Master Qianhu!" Hearing this, Baihu breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that Cui He has spoken, this matter has nothing to do with him.
"Prince, please don't get excited. Can you allow me, Old Cui, to say a few words?"
Cui He left his weapons with both hands and slowly walked towards the two of them with his fingers spread out.
"Don't, don't come over, or I'll kill him! Cui He, don't tell me that you don't know how this old dog treats me on weekdays. Today we have accomplished a great job, and it's time for me and this old dog to settle the accounts. !" Chen Pingyuan shouted at Cui He while trembling.
Alas, this acting is too exaggerated and the force is too strong.
Cui He complained in his heart, but still walked slowly towards the two of them.
"Hmph, a concubine is a concubine. He is indeed an immature white-eyed wolf! When I killed your shameless concubine, I should have strangled you to death, and then led the young master out of the city!" Sun Zhiming snorted coldly and looked at the redness and swelling on the left side of Chen Pingyuan's face with a look of resentment.
Oops, your acting skills are so bad and you still haven’t noticed anything is wrong. As expected of you.
"Okay, okay, let's settle the accounts, let's settle the accounts, Master Sun, don't get excited, don't get excited!"
When he was still five steps away from Sun Zhiming, Cui He suddenly stood up, drew out his waist knife and knocked off the small crossbow that Sun Zhiming had quietly pulled out, and then hit the back of Sun Zhiming's head with the handle of the knife, which looked in disbelief. Knocked him unconscious, and picked him up on his shoulder before he fell to the ground.
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Run away!"
With a slap on the shoulder of Chen Pingyuan, who was still stunned, Cui He carried Sun Zhiming and rushed towards the palace gate with all his strength without looking back.
"Ah, oh oh!"
Chen Pingyuan, who was startled by Cui He's sudden uproar, woke up as if from a dream, and ran wildly with Cui He, wishing for his parents. No, he wished that his mother would give him two more legs!
"Damn it, that bitch Cui He has also rebelled, kill him!"
No matter how dull they were, several hundred households could see that Cui He and the prince were in the same group. They all became angry and picked up their weapons and chased the two and three of them!
"Open the door, open the door! This is the former prince, who is of royal blood!!"
After struggling to avoid an arrow that was shot at him, Cui He saw that the palace door had not been opened yet. He suddenly became anxious and started shouting towards the palace wall!
"Commander, do you want to open the door?" A Fengxiang Qianhu turned his head and asked his commander.
"This" the commander hesitated a little
Although strictly speaking, the omission of the man named Chen Pingyuan under the city wall was not the fault of Fengxiang Wei, but the negligence of Xiuyi. They did not notice that Prince Li actually had an outer chamber and an outer chamber.
However, after all, they failed to complete the edict given to them by the emperor that no chickens or dogs should be left in the East Palace.
"Commander, what happened back then is over, and this person below is of royal blood after all!" Seeing the commander's silence, the fellow commanders beside him knew that their commander's old habit of being vacillating and easily getting entangled has recurred. .
If it weren’t for this being Empress Ren Xiaowen’s nephew and the Emperor’s cousin,
"Yes, this is the blood of the royal family after all. Come here, suppress those rebels! Open a crack in the door and let them get in! Lao Li, you can do this." The commander turned to his side. The commander Tongzhi said.
I can rest assured that you will do the work!
"only!"
Li Tongzhi clasped his fists and accepted the promise, then opened the palace gate with his own soldiers.
. . . . . .
The rain stopped.
The sun also broke through the long night, shining on this mountain where rain and blood were mixed.
The shouts of killing that lasted all night finally stopped. The last soldier of the Fourth Army of the East Palace was found by Long Xiang from a tree hole. Like other found remnants, they were taken away if they surrendered and killed if they refused. .
The seven hundred people outside the back door were also surrounded by Fengxiang Guards. No one escaped, and they were all killed by the Fengxiang Guards commander.
The rebellion in the East Palace that had troubled Daqi for eight years was finally over.
Like almost all rebellion incidents, although the East Palace failed, it still had a great impact on Daqi. However, Daqi is now in a period of great prosperity in the Haiyan River, and the brilliance emanating from the coming of the Two Saints has eliminated these dark things. Covered up.
But no matter how hard you try to cover it up, this thing is there and no one can ignore it.
He just lay dormant, and one day he will burst out again
Huaqing Palace, main hall.
Having not slept a wink all night, the Second Saint felt deeply exhausted, but he still managed to pull himself together and meet a few people.
Wei Ci, Sun Zhiming, Chen Pingyuan and Cui He.
Now he is the officer with the highest official position under Wei Ci.
Jia Hui had already taken a shower, changed clothes, and tidied up his appearance. He was wearing a scarlet red rosette-patterned gold woven narrow-sleeved round-neck robe and was sitting behind the two saints, sitting with the kings.
The Emperor stared blankly at the young man kneeling outside the palace. The face that vaguely resembled the face of an eldest son made him think a lot.
so similar!
The emperor beside him turned his head and looked at his eldest nephew.
The emperor felt that the young man named Chen Pingyuan in the courtyard was more like his elder brother than the sullen nephew Chen Chengyuan.
Looking at his temperament, clothes and other scattered things, just talking about his appearance, Chen Pingyuan is as if his elder brother has been resurrected!
interesting.
"Your child, is your name Pingyuan?" The emperor had obviously discovered this a long time ago. At this time, his voice was full of guilt?
"The sinner is none other than Chen Pingyuan!" Chen Pingyuan heard the emperor's question in front of him and quickly fell down and replied.
Before the old man looking at him with strange eyes really expressed his stance, he had to be careful and cautious, cautious and cautious!
Only in this way can you have a chance to survive!
"Pingyuan. Pingyuan is good, what a good name. Then, your mother's biological mother, yes, her biological mother is" The emperor was a little incoherent.
His mood now is too complicated!
"The sinner's mother was killed by Wei Master Wei Ci eight years ago!"
Hearing the emperor mention his mother, Chen Pingyuan's eyes suddenly turned red. He threw away all caution and prudence!
"Your Majesty, back then the sinner and his mother lived in a small courtyard in Beiping City as expected. They didn't even go out on weekdays. They only had to rely on the late prince to pay for food and drink." Now that you have risked your life, let's take care of yourself. Tell me everything you know!
Thinking of this, Chen Pingyuan began to tell the two saints about their mother's life like pouring beans.
"Tsk, it's so miserable."
Chen Si sighed towards Jia Hui, who was sitting next to him, with a sigh on his face.
"Alas, seeing my own mother being killed in front of my eyes, I was unable to do anything to avenge my mother. Instead, I had to respectfully and enthusiastically call my mother-killer master, and I continued to do so for eight years." Jia Hui let out a long sigh.
If it were him, he would never be able to be like Chen Pingyuan no matter what.
Either fight Wei Ci on the spot and be killed instantly with one move, or endure the humiliation and look for every opportunity to kill Wei Ci in these eight years.
hiss.
Thinking about it this way, Chen Pingyuan is really useless.
Eight years, eight whole years!
He hadn't managed to build a team of confidants for eight years. When the rebellion came, he had to flee for his life, so he took the opportunity to hook up with Cui He. Before that, I heard from Li Sanniang that this man didn't even try. Pass
"Hearing what you said, you are really cautious." After hearing Jia Hui's introduction, Chen Si didn't know what to say for a moment.
But considering that everyone has the blood of Taizu Taizong and the Emperor, let’s use a complimentary word to describe it.
"Hey, I've been wondering just now, why are you wearing armor?" Jia Hui looked around calmly and found that only the third emperor's son Yiren, Chen Si and the seventh emperor's son Yilian were wearing armor. .
"Before this, we heard the cry of killing and were almost at the palace gate. Just in case, the three of us put on armor and were ready to face the enemy."
"Prince Yiren." Jia Hui looked at Chen San, who was wearing armor and looked very imposing. Jia Hui felt a little weird.
It's not that he's an armor-piercing monster, but what should I say?
Um? Why does Chen Er look so aggrieved?
Why!
Jia Hui had a flash of inspiration.
"Are these two brothers having a conflict?" Jia Hui asked in a low voice.
"Yes, yes, you don't know, we were about to start a fight at that time." As they talked, they started chatting about gossip. Chen Si swept away his usual serious image and started talking to Jia Hui about the situation at that time with great interest. .
"Come on, Queen Mother."
"Step aside!"
Snapped!
Boom!
The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground interrupted everyone's thoughts.
Hearing the noise outside the palace, the emperor trembled.
"Zitong."
"Where, where? Where is my miserable grandson!"
An old woman was supported by several aunts and walked into the hall. Everyone, including Jia Hui, quickly knelt on the ground.
"My son/grandson/I give my regards to the Queen!"
"Get up, get up! Saburo, Saburo!"
"Hey, my son is here!" The emperor quickly jumped up from the ground, ran all the way to the old woman's side, and supported his mother on behalf of an aunt.
"Mother, my son is here." The emperor said softly to the queen, for fear of disturbing her.
"Hao Sanlang, I heard that your eldest brother still has a son in the world, and he rebelled? Sanlang, is this true?" After finally helping her precious son, the Queen was extremely excited and quickly turned to the emperor to confirm the truth of the matter. .
"That's right. Mother, my eldest brother has a son alive, and he is here now."
"What? It's true! My poor son, my poor grandson!" After hearing the truth of the matter confirmed by the emperor himself, the Queen couldn't bear it anymore, twisted her handkerchief and started crying.
"Queen mother, don't cry, queen mother, don't cry. If you cry again, your eyes will hurt for a long time! My eldest brother's little son is kneeling in the yard right now, don't let me."
"What? Kneeling in the courtyard?" The Queen suddenly stopped crying and froze on the spot.
The emperor secretly said bad!
"It's over, it's over, I'm going to lose another grandson." After the queen said that, she fainted and fell to the ground. The emperor quickly helped her and sat down on the floor together and began to persuade her.
"No, no, no, Queen Mother, no one wants to kill him. No one really wants to kill him. We are just asking questions now. My nephew is also a poor man."
"Seriously!" The Queen suddenly reached out and grabbed the emperor's collar and pulled herself up, staring at her third son who had long been invisible with her pale and empty eyes.
Take a closer look.
Um?
Why not even a single tear!
Tsk tsk, I was deceived by my mother again.
However, the emperor was still very happy about being deceived by his mother. After all, his mother had a lively temper in her early years, and she often played tricks on their children and took pleasure in it.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to play together with my father and have been in love for so many years.
Since that night eight years ago, even the mother's smile has disappeared.
Now that I have been deceived again, what does this prove? Doesn’t this mean that the queen mother’s mental illness is gradually getting better?
Is it because of this guy Pingyuan?
Gee, it seems we must save his life.
Thinking of this, the emperor quickly asked the emperor, who was sitting silently, for a promise.
"Seriously, absolutely seriously! My father and mother are about to faint. I beg you, just say something!" The emperor looked at the emperor anxiously.
Tsk, you kid!
The emperor glared at the emperor who had kicked the trouble onto him, and stood up holding on to the floor. Several princes wanted to step forward to help him, but the emperor knocked their outstretched paws away and slowly walked up to the stairs. The queen's side.
