The structure of the imperial tomb is complex, with several internal and external layers.
The outermost is the hall, followed by the ear chamber, the burial chamber, and the long tomb passages connecting the tomb chambers.
At this moment, not only the main tomb chamber and tomb passage were cut off, but the hall and the outside world were also cut off.
There are many barriers between the innermost part of the tomb and the outside world. It is impossible to open the tomb-sealing door in a short time.
The gates of the imperial tombs are all designed to prevent damage by future generations, and their sturdiness is self-evident.
It can't be done in a short time if you want to force it open. It can only be opened from the inside.
However, at this moment, the imperial mausoleum was already filled with killing and shouting.
Countless Red Lotus Sect sprang out, countless arrows rained down, and countless imperial guards died miserably. In the main tomb, all the princes and princesses were panicked.
Gu Ling'er is also among them.
As a princess of the Wu Dynasty, she was also allowed to enter the imperial mausoleum, and she also brought some guards. Although the number was small, it played a great role at this moment, guarding her and the seventh princess.
But others are not so lucky.
Who would have thought that the Red Lotus Church would sneak into the imperial mausoleum.
Everyone was panicked.
Especially when they saw those Red Lotus disciples rushing up like crazy, with murderous intent, their faces could not help but turn as white as paper.
Thanks to Dong Qianjun, he was able to withstand the impact of the Red Lotus Sect.
However, the disparity in strength between the two sides is huge and unsustainable.
It was almost impossible to hold on.
Zhu Tianzheng's face also became extremely pale, and he seemed to be full of panic.
"Father, this way!"
At this time, Zhu Zhen suddenly said that he did not know when he opened a burial room next to the main tomb.
Dong Qianjun said quickly: "Protect Your Majesty and retreat, and the others will kill these traitors together with me."
"yes!"
Several imperial guards quickly escorted Zhu Tianzheng back into the funerary room. Zhu Tai, Zhu Kun and some ministers also fled inside. Shen Polu covered Gu Ling'er and followed them.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Gu Ling'er suddenly noticed that Zhu Tianzheng glanced at herself and Zhu Ziyan, as if to prevent them from entering, and that look gave her a feeling of déjà vu.
But before she could recover, the Red Lotus Sect had already attacked and killed her from all around, and the two of them had no choice but to follow them.
Zhu Zhen also dropped the tombstone at this time, blocking the Red Lotus Sect.
The burial room was not very large, the atmosphere was very dull, and everyone looked a little shocked.
After all, it was too dangerous just now!
There are not many people escaping here at the moment.
Zhu Tianzheng, four guards, and two eunuchs accompanying him, one was Eunuch Cao, and the other was a young eunuch.
In addition, there are Zhu Tai, Zhu Kun, Gu Ling'er, Zhu Ziyan, and some officials.
Of course, Zhu Zhen is indispensable.
There was originally a huge group of people, but now there were only a few left.
Zhu Tai couldn't help but cursed, "Damn Red Lotus Sect, how dare you break into the imperial mausoleum and attack your father..."
Zhu Kun was also pale, but now he looked at Zhu Zhen, "Fourth, you have been responsible for the Queen Mother's funeral. How do you explain that there are so many Red Lotus Sect mixed in the imperial mausoleum?"
Hearing this, Zhu Tai seemed to have found an opportunity to attack his opponent, and quickly agreed: "That's right! Father trusts you so much, let's see what bad things you can do."
"Father, the fourth child..."
This guy still wanted to complain, but he didn't notice at all that a cold smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Zhen's lips.
at the same time.
On the wall behind him, a stone door opened, and a group of soldiers rushed in, instantly surrounding everyone.
Immediately afterwards, two more figures stepped in, it was Yu Changqing and Liu Changhe.
"Master Yu, you are finally here. This is..."
Zhu Tai didn't seem to react yet and thought he was saved.
But everyone else obviously noticed something was wrong. Four imperial guards were already protecting Zhu Tianzheng, and Shen Polu was also protecting Gu Ling'er.
Zhu Kun asked: "Fourth child, are these all your people?"
Zhu Ziyan also looked confused, "Brother Emperor, what are you going to do?"
A ferocious smile appeared on Zhu Zhen's lips, and he said: "My dear imperial sister, isn't this obvious enough? Do you want your imperial brother to say it out?"
What!
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Ziyan's pretty face instantly turned extremely pale. With so many soldiers pointing their swords at her father, herself and others, how could she not understand? She just couldn't believe it.
All the officials were also stunned. No one expected such a scene to happen.
Eunuch Cao looked panicked, "Your Highness, Fourth Prince, why are you doing this? His Majesty is about to appoint you as the crown prince, you, you..."
Everyone looked at Zhu Zhen in confusion.
Because no one understands that the crown prince is about to be appointed, why...
"And Mr. Yu, Your Majesty treats you well, why do you..."
Zhu Zhen seemed to be a little impatient and sneered, "To establish the crown prince? If you want to establish the crown prince, you have already established it. How can you wait until today? Father said so?"
He sneered and looked at Zhu Tianzheng.
Zhu Tianzheng's face was ugly. He also looked at him, but did not speak, and then looked at Yu Changqing.
Yu Changqing met Zhu Tianzheng's gaze and bowed, but said nothing.
In this case, maybe anything you say is redundant.
"Fourth brother, you... are so audacious that you dare to rebel. You are dead!" Zhu Taizhi shouted.
Zhu Zhen sneered, "How come this prince is dead? Can you tell me?"
"The Night King has gone to Changjin County, and Yan Xiangguan can't leave the house. Who else can stop this prince?"
Zhu Tai finally realized the seriousness of the situation, and his face turned pale, but he still said: "Your intention to rebel is a heinous crime, and no civil and military officials in the court will agree..."
"Rebellion? Who conspired to rebel?"
Zhu Zhen looked surprised, "It was the Red Lotus Sect that avenged Lin Qingfeng, and I sacrificed my life to save him. However, the Red Lotus Sect was too cunning, and all my father, brothers, and courtiers were killed."
He said with a sinister smile on his lips, "As the crown prince, I will inherit the throne, then wipe out the Red Lotus Sect, and avenge my father and all the royal brothers..."
"you you……"
Zhu Tai was so angry that his lips trembled and his face became extremely ugly.
And Zhu Zhen obviously lost his patience, "Do it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers rushed over to kill him.
These soldiers were all full of killing intent. On the other side, there were only a few guards. The difference in strength between the two sides was so great that they were not on the same level at all. Several officials were killed in an instant.
"You...you are so bold. Do you really want to rebel?"
Eunuch Cao tried to stop the soldiers, but it was obviously of no use.
These soldiers were not soldiers of the imperial court, but elites of the previous dynasty. They had no fear of Zhu Tianzheng at all, and they attacked without any hesitation and showed no mercy.
Zhu Zhen was sure of victory, and the smile on his lips became even wider.
At this time, Zhu Tianzheng's hoarse voice finally sounded, "Why did you do this? And you are so close to the Red Lotus Sect? Is it because I thoroughly investigated the eight guards?"
"There was indeed something hidden on the ship back then."
"You are not my son!"
