Outside Shenjing City
The King of Qi, Chen Cheng, burst into tears, raised his chubby face, and said, "Father, my grandpa is here. I would like to ask my father to abdicate the throne and take care of his body. I will make a great man in the future."
It can be said that if Emperor Chongping took advantage of the situation and took advantage of the situation, he would have allowed King Qi to accomplish this.
But at this moment, most of the officials who were watching were silent when they saw this scene.
In other words, the situation of the Chen Han clan's family affairs was unclear for a while, but no one dared to say anything.
But Li Zan, the second assistant to the cabinet, went out to work, with a look of righteousness on his face, and said coldly: "King Qi, don't talk nonsense! Since your Majesty came to the throne, you have worked hard and worked hard at night, from the northern Xinjiang to the northwest, and from the north to the north. Expelling the bandits, expanding the territory, and displaying power in all directions, what does it mean to be militant? You dare to persecute your father today, such an animal behavior that violates human ethics and filial piety, do you know that there is a spirit in the sky? "
After Li Zan spoke out, it seemed that he had begun to denounce Qi King Chen Cheng.
Qi Kun, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, also reprimanded and said: "King Qi, please apologize to the Holy One immediately. I think you were ignorant and were bewitched by female ministers. The Holy One can let it go."
Later, Yao Yu, the Minister of Civil Affairs, said: "King Qi, for forcing your father like this, even on the day of the emperor's funeral, everyone in the world will be able to punish him!"
Liu Zheng, the Minister of Rites, also reprimanded him one after another. For a while, there were endless scoldings for King Qi's move of forcing the palace.
But it was mostly condemned by important officials in the court, which was in sharp contrast to the previous officials of the Ministry of Science and Technology.
Moreover, not everyone goes out to scold them.
Emperor Chongping glanced at Han Huang coldly, feeling cold in his heart.
As the chief assistant of the cabinet, assisting yin and yang and regulating yin and yang, shouldn't he take the lead in reprimanding the officials at this moment, but just watch with cold eyes? You are truly my good minister!
I'm afraid that repealing the New Deal is just what they want!
Seeing Qi Kun and Li Zan leaving work, Han Huang was in a trance and seemed to realize something. He pursed his lips and wanted to speak, but now he was behind the ministers and was a little abrupt.
Chen Rong, the loyal and obedient king, said loudly: "This is a family matter of my Han clan. You are all foreign ministers. You can just obey orders and have no right to comment!"
However, at this time, the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard from the city gate, and it seemed that a large number of soldiers were arriving continuously.
King Qi glanced at him with confidence on his face. He looked at Emperor Chongping and said, "Father, the troops and horses in the city are in the hands of my son. Father, please follow me back to the capital. Father, I have been working hard on state affairs these years." , my body and bones are not good, so please go to Chonghua Palace to take care of me."
After he ascended the throne, he issued an order to clean up the Jia family and avenge the past, and then issued an edict to abolish the New Deal, and promoted officials from Conglong to nobility to appease the officials.
Otherwise, would he really kill his father?
That's really stupid as a pig, cruel and surly!
At that time, the whole world was in rebellion, and King Qin's troops and horses were able to completely surround Shenjing.
Do you really think he is stupid?
Also, the uncle and the prince of Zhongshun County are probably not well-intentioned. They asked him to kill the emperor and his father. It would be better to kill the Wei and Chu vassals and kill each other. Then, they Zhongshun will take the throne?
Emperor Chongping said coldly: "Chen Cheng, I will give you one last chance to capture Chen Rong and his son without mercy."
King Qi looked surprised and said, "Father,"
But King Zhongshun sneered and said: "Fourth brother, just surrender and capture me. Back then, my father even retreated to the Chonghua Palace to be raised in honor for the sake of my country. Fourth brother, now it's your turn."
When he was able to force Emperor Longzhi to abdicate, King Zhongshun obviously also put in a lot of effort and helped participate in the coup, and now he is quite familiar with it.
Emperor Chongping looked at King Zhongshun indifferently and said, "Ambition of a wolf."
"Come here, please send the Emperor back to Chonghua Palace and Emperor Daxing to Gongling Mausoleum for burial." King Zhongshun said loudly with a cold look in his eyes.
Immediately, soldiers approached, approaching the guards in Jinyi Mansion surrounding the dragon chariot.
And Runan Hou Weiqi led the troops to protect Emperor Chongping and the coffin of the Supreme Emperor beside him.
Of course, no one disturbed the coffin of Emperor Longzhi.
Even at this time, no one paid attention to the female family members of the harem who were mourning the Supreme Emperor at the rear.
They all came towards Emperor Chongping.
It was to force Emperor Chongping to submit.
In fact, above Baqiao, except for the officials, generals and internal eunuchs of the Han Dynasty, there were no common people at all. Although there was a forced palace, not many people knew about it afterwards.
Ordinary people can only see things in the fog and have different opinions.
However, at this time, he suddenly heard shouts of killing coming from the direction of the city gate. The sound of weapons clashing and fighting made King Qi startled and confused.
Chen Hong, the king of Zhongshun County, stared not far away, dumbfounded.
I saw that a large number of cavalry generals, led by Xie Zaiyi, had already arrived.
Xie Zaiyi, the general of the Beijing camp and the first-class Zhongqin Hou of the Han Dynasty, drew his bow and nocked an arrow, came on horseback and shot at Chen Hong, the king of Zhongshun County.
"Whoosh!!!"
Arrows came through the air.
Chen Hong, the king of Zhongshun County, felt his heart tightening, feeling that the soul of the dead was coming out, and he hurriedly hid aside.
"Pfft!"
The arrow pierced his chest, Chen Hong was startled, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
Obviously, the arrow was not coming towards him, but towards the general who wanted to attack Long Chaan.
Whizzing!
Several more arrows were fired, like rain falling, and many soldiers were hit by the arrows and screamed again and again.
"Anyone who disturbs the holy driver will die!" Xie Zaiyi said loudly in the distance, like thunder, passing through the crowds of people and shaking people's hearts.
At this moment, the soldiers were fighting non-stop, and a large number of cavalry troops had come from all directions to surround and suppress the guards of Prince Qi's Mansion and the generals from the Beijing Camp who were being held hostage by Prince Zhongshun.
Emperor Chongping said coldly: "Chen Cheng, I ask you, do you know your guilt?"
Not only that, the Beijing cavalry troops still came from all directions to besiege the palace rebels.
Yu Shijin, the commander-in-chief of the Lianwu Camp, Chu Bojun, the commander-in-chief of the Yaowu Camp, Wu Fengchao, the commander-in-chief of the Zhenwei Camp, and others also led three thousand troops at the gate of the city to join in the melee with the counter-rebellion troops from the Beijing camp.
Qi King Chen Cheng was dumbfounded for a moment when he saw this scene.
Chen Hong said urgently: "Having hijacked people and threatened the capital camp, we still have a chance to turn around."
King Zhongshun Chen Rong also said anxiously: "My eldest nephew, now that things have come to this, why not take a risk?!"
Emperor Chongping was on the dragon chariot, looking at the few people with a cold face. Although there were more than a dozen palace guards between them, it seemed like a chasm to King Qi and others.
Even though Chen Hong's followers wanted to approach the dragon chariot, they were firmly blocked.
Emperor Chongping looked at Qi King Chen Cheng indifferently and said, "Chen Cheng, do you really want to rebel?"
He is rebellious and rebellious, but he is also his eldest son.
The emperor was in a trance for a moment, as if he was remembering the afternoon many years ago, when he was holding a fat, infant boy in his arms. He couldn't conceal his excitement, paced back and forth, and kept murmuring: "I have a son."
This scene seems like yesterday.
Chen Cheng was completely despairing. He didn't know that everything was planned by Emperor Chongping. He knelt down and cried bitterly: "Father, it's all uncle who instigated me. I didn't want it either. Father."
King Zhongshun: "..."
Chen Hong was also a little dumbfounded when he saw this scene.
On the side, Prince Palace Chief Shi Dou Rong's face turned earthy and he closed his eyes.
The emperor had been prepared for it, the situation was over, they were finished.
Jia Yucun's face was pale, and he only had one thought in his mind, it was over.
The name of the Dage Department and the military aircraft have all become a dream. I am afraid that if this continues, even my property and my life will be in danger.
Jia Yucun's heart trembled, and his hands and feet felt cold.
At this moment, in the courtroom of the concubines and concubines in the harem, the eldest princess of Jinyang beside Empress Dowager Feng also had a look of surprise on her beautiful face and said, "Mother, the emperor seems to have been on guard for a long time."
Empress Dowager Feng held Princess Jinyang's hand and said, "Wait a moment."
As he spoke, he looked at his daughter.
I don't know if it's her illusion, but I always feel that Li'er is a little plumper than Jingcheng, and she also has a...
That
In fact, based on Empress Dowager Feng's experience of raising children, the beauty's milky scent that occasionally escapes in the waxing moon can still guess some of the truth.
On the other side, Concubine Duanrong and Empress Song looked at each other, and they both saw a hint of lightness on each other's faces.
If King Qi is really crowned a great treasure, they will probably go to Chonghua Palace to accompany His Majesty.
The kings of Wei and Chu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
They knew that their father must have a defensive strategy.
I don’t know that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Just like the nobleman Wu among the concubines, his beautiful eyebrows were furrowed, his white teeth were biting his pink lips, and he was secretly worried.
But now that King Qi and King Zhongshun and his son have been exposed, the beauty is at a loss what to do.
At this moment, hearing the shouts of killing around them, both Zhongshun Wang Chen Rong and Chen Hong looked at each other and were at a loss.
However, the surrounding rebel soldiers were strangled by the Beijing camp, and their resistance became increasingly weak.
The soldiers on the Ba Bridge, led by the Dianjun of Prince Qi's Mansion, killed the soldiers blocking the way. Dozens of soldiers gradually approached the two men. They looked at the Prince of Qi who was kneeling on the ground to plead guilty, and said, "Your Majesty, let's go."
King Chen Cheng of Qi was now like chaff and trembling all over. Just when he was about to stand up, he heard a cold shout from the dragon chariot: "In the whole world, is it the land of the king? On the shore of the land, is it the ministers of the king?" , Chen Cheng, where are you going?"
When King Chen Cheng of Qi heard this, his fat body shook violently.
Chen Cheng, the king of Qi, cried and said: "Father, my son and I know our sins."
At this moment, coincidentally, just to the east of Baqiao, smoke and dust were also seen, and fiery red flags embroidered with the Chinese character "Han" burned the sky like flames.
Everyone who was fighting was stunned.
A sharp-eyed general shouted loudly: "This is the flag of Duke Wei, Duke Wei has arrived!"
It turned out that after Jia Heng detached his troops from Shandong, he marched day and night, leading 3,000 cavalry, rushing towards Chang'an City regardless of losses or falling behind.
Finally arrived at Chang'an City on the day of the incident.
Jia Heng is now on the horse, holding a long iron sword, leading the troops across the Baqiao, towards the palace guards who are surrounded by the Qi Palace. The cavalry of the Beijing camp are so brave. At this moment, the saber is waving, and the rebels are wailing. , all turned into ghosts under the sword.
Emperor Chongping, who was in the dragon chariot, was also slightly shaken at this moment. He looked at the cavalry in the distance and completely let go of his last worry.
The eldest princess of Jinyang in the dragon chariot could not help but sit up a little straighter. Under the willow eyebrows, her beautiful eyes as moist as water could be seen with longing for her.
Empress Dowager Feng said in surprise: "Jia Ziyu? Xianning's consort?"
The eldest princess of Jinyang spoke with a heavy tone and could not hide her joy, "Queen Mother, this should be foolproof."
He is back.
At this moment, Princess Xianning and Li Chanyue also showed joy on their faces.
"Sir is back." Li Chanyue Zangxing Yunyue's eyes showed joy and she said softly.
Next to Song Yan, her fair-skinned face was filled with a hint of joy. Under her delicate brows, her bright eyes were filled with emotion.
Not far away, Empress Song, who was sitting with Concubine Duanrong, looked at the big characters "Guo Guo Gongjia" in the distance, feeling a little happy in her heart, and her beautiful eyes were blank.
That little fox, is he back?
The beauty's hands, which were folded and clenched in front of her because of the critical situation just now, loosened them for unknown reasons, and subconsciously gently touched her lower abdomen that had not yet swollen.
At this moment, Zhongshun King Chen Rong and Zhongshun County King Chen Hong were even more desperate.
King Zhongshun said urgently: "Hong'er, let's go."
At this point, the situation is over and all talk about the coup is over.
But he wanted to leave at this time, and it was obviously too late. As the sound of iron hoofs rumbled, Jia Heng led the cavalry of the Beijing camp, and like a torrent swept away the guards of the Prince of Qi who were holding the troops and the dead people raised by Chen Rong and his son. scholar.
boom!
In the blink of an eye, Jia Heng has led a group of soldiers to kill him at lightning speed. Wherever he passed, the rebels followed him.
The guards and horses of the mansion were all invincible, and they were all turned into lumps of powder.
Jia Heng came on horseback, brandishing a long knife in his hand that was impervious to the weather, and beheaded two rebel soldiers who were blocking the road. He shouted loudly: "Those who surrender will be spared death!"
He was mainly worried that these guards would jump over the wall and attack the female family members.
With the arrival of Jia Heng, the rebellion no longer had any suspense. After the cavalry slaughtered the guards of the palace, except for a few dead soldiers raised by the loyal and obedient king and his son, they all dropped their weapons one after another and asked for the surrender of the cavalry in the capital. .
The expression of King Zhongshun Chen Rong changed, and the face of King Zhongshun Chen Hong looked ugly. At this moment, there were soldiers and horses in front and behind him. There was no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth.
"If you don't kneel down to apologize, how can I wait any longer!" Dai Quan, who was beside Emperor Chongping, scolded.
Chen Rong sneered, looked at the dragon chariot with stern eyes, and said, "What crime did my father and son commit to prevent the Han Dynasty's artifact from falling into Jia's hands?"
After this incident, it will definitely be difficult for him to survive, but he will die!
It's a pity that Jia Heng's son is becoming more and more powerful. The one who usurps the Chen family in the future will definitely be Jia Heng's son!
However, Chen Rong's words made Emperor Chongping frown, snort, and turn pale.
Sow discord!
The surrounding civil and military officials all frowned secretly, pretending not to hear this.
Chen Hong turned to look at King Qi, who was kneeling and kowtowing and collapsed into a ball. He couldn't help but feel angry and cursed: "If I had just made a decisive decision, I wouldn't have ended up like today. I'm really as stupid as a pig!"
If he hadn't talked too much just now and killed the man in the dragon chariot directly, and then killed all the Wei and Chu vassals and the Demon Queen of the Song family, how could he be in this embarrassing situation now?
But King Qi obviously would not kill Emperor Chongping, leaving an indelible stain on himself, and killing his own father would undoubtedly require a strong psychological quality.
However, at this moment, Xie Zaiyi and the Jinyi palace guards lurking in the crowd pretending to be internal prisoners had firmly guarded Emperor Chongping's dragon chariot to prevent the villain from approaching.
"Get Chen Rong and his son!" Emperor Chongping's indifferent voice sounded from the dragon chariot, seemingly without any joy or anger.
Immediately, the relevant palace guards came forward and held down the arms of Chen Rong and Chen Hong. Without waiting for the two to struggle, they were firmly tied with ropes. In addition, several Jinyi palace guards also dragged down Qi Wang Chen. Cheng's fat body.
Jia Heng came all the way and came to the dragon chariot. He cupped his hands and said, "I have seen your Majesty. Long live your Majesty. Long live your Majesty."
Emperor Chongping asked: "Ziyu, you are not in Shandong, why are you here?"
Why is Ziyu here? Is it possible to take advantage of the chaos... Well, it shouldn't be possible, otherwise how could they only bring so many soldiers and horses.
Jia Heng's eyes were firm, and he cupped his hands and said: "After the Wei ministers encircled and suppressed the bandits in Yanzhou, Shandong, and suffered a great victory due to flooding, they learned that Chen Yuan and others colluded with King Qi and King Zhongshun to assassinate the emperor and attack the emperor during the national funeral. So, Shu Qingqing, Xingye times said, come to rescue!"
He was almost on a long journey, and it was not much better than the 600-mile expedited one. Previously, he asked Xiaoxiao Feige to pass a message to Jinyi Mansion. Judging from the emperor's posture, Jinyi Mansion didn't seem to receive it?
Perhaps the information transmitted by homing pigeons may not be reliable at this time, especially in summer when thunderstorms are frequent, and homing pigeons are prone to losing messages.
It's also possible that Xiaoxiao did it on purpose...
So, it’s hard to say.
Emperor Chongping saw the familiar young man and said, "Ziyu came just in time. Yanzhou Prefecture also achieved a great victory?"
In fact, all the government offices in the capital were busy with the condolences and funeral of the Supreme Emperor, and also with the investigation of the bad guys. Furthermore, something went wrong at the Ministry of War.
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "Li Yanqing was beheaded, Hauge was captured alive, Chen Yuan's whereabouts are unknown, our Han Jingying cavalry army has wiped out more than 40,000 enemies, and the chaos in Shandong has been calmed down. Your Majesty, these should be Chen Yuan and Chen Cheng The plan of the others is to divert the tiger away from the mountain. They want to use the White Lotus Rebellion in Shandong to contain our army, and then plot rebellion in the capital."
When I saw the emperor today, he was indeed unscathed.
In fact, there are too many subjects involved in this kind of conspiracy, and it is easy for the news to leak out. The emperor's subordinates have countless spies in Beijing, and it is only a matter of time before the news is learned.
Emperor Chongping looked at the young man in the python suit with complicated eyes under his thin and pine eyebrows. Seeing the bloodshot eyes and the tired look on his face, he said, "I already know that they are just trying to force me to marry him."
The first step was to transfer Jia Ziyu out of the capital, then plot to murder the emperor, use the day of the national funeral to force him to abdicate and install King Qi as his heir, all in one chain.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged emperor raised his thin eyebrows and looked at Qi King Chen Cheng coldly, saying: "You evil beast! How much does the emperor love you that he would do this to you?"
King Chen Cheng of Qi had a look of confusion on his face and said, "I don't know, my uncle and Chen Hong did this. I really don't know."
King Zhongshun: "..."
The civil and military officials in the distance were also a little shocked when they saw the young man in python suit standing in front of the dragon chariot.
The Duke of Wei put down the rebellion in Shandong again. It was not easy. He traveled thousands of miles to come to his rescue, and he was so loyal...
Emperor Chongping said coldly: "Come here, take these three people to the imperial prison and wait for their punishment!"
After the rebellion of King Qi, and even the plot of Prince Zhongshun and his son to assassinate the emperor, Emperor Chongping naturally could no longer bury the emperor's coffin and coffin. So what if there was another attack and murder? It was such a big family scandal. , Emperor Chongping also needed to return to the capital to clean up the mess.
Of course, it is impossible to carry the coffin of the Supreme Emperor back, so we can only pretend that nothing happened and bury it as usual.
Then, Emperor Chongping calmed down, turned to look at Li Zan, the first and second assistant of the cabinet, and said, "Where is Mr. Li Ge?"
"Wei Chen is here." After hearing this, Li Zan looked solemn and cupped his hands.
"You escort the emperor's coffin and coffin to Gongling Mausoleum for burial. Don't delay the auspicious moment. I will return to the palace with all the concubines and civil and military officials."
He has not forgotten those good ministers who had just followed Chen Cheng to force him to abdicate!
Li Zan cupped his hands and said, "I obey the order."
Han Huang's expression changed on the side, and he sighed feebly. He was in a trance just now, but he had completely lost the Holy Family.
I'm afraid that this first assistant won't last long.
Although Han Huang was absent-minded, he was still doing well. Those Kedao officials who had knelt down and begged Emperor Chongping to abdicate had pale faces and cold hands and feet.
At this time, Empress Dowager Feng sent the eunuch away and said in a sharp voice: "The Empress Dowager and the eldest princess of Jinyang have sent the Emperor to Gongling Tomb. Your Majesty will return to the palace first to deal with all matters."
Emperor Chongping was silent for a moment, sighed, and said, "My son, I sincerely obey Yi's decree."
In this way, the Queen Mother ordered Emperor Chongping to go back, which was a way to achieve both ends.
Jia Heng looked at this scene. In fact, Emperor Chongping still sent the emperor to Gongling Mausoleum for burial, but that was not possible. It seemed that the emperor was also deeply affected by this incident.
Afterwards, the personnel were divided into two groups. Emperor Chongping returned to the capital with the Jinyi Palace Guards who escorted Chen Rong and his son and Qi King Chen Cheng, while Jia Heng and Zhongqin Hou Xie Zaiyi also returned to the capital.
As for the soldiers and horses brought by Jia Heng, they escorted the funeral procession all the way to Gongling.
And the entire Shenjing City, and even the entire Han Dynasty, was affected by this "forced palace" incident, and slowly fermented over time.
An unprecedented storm is brewing.
