When the prince Yi Qianre chased him to the large iron gate of the cave where Guixu grass was planted in the back mountain, he saw that the door was tightly closed. The emperor and his party had already escaped in. The prince winked, and three monks headed by Ma Yuan attacked with magic weapons. There was only a bang from the iron gate, and the expressions of the three monks changed slightly as they were bounced back.
The black scarf monk Ma Yuan said: "Your Highness, this door has been engraved with magic patterns by a master. We cannot break through it in a short time. This door can only be opened from the inside out."
Upon hearing this, Cui Yan led the crowd out and said, "Don't be impatient for a moment. You can then find a way to break down this door. I'm here to persuade your majesty to open the door."
Cui Yan stepped forward and shouted inside: "Your Majesty, there is an old minister outside the door. Do you hear it?"
After a long while, a voice came from the door: "I'm Huo Zheng, Cui Xiang, are you okay outside? We didn't expect you to fall behind. We didn't see you until we came in."
Cui Yan said: "Prime Minister Huo, don't worry, I'm very well. Please report back to Your Majesty on your behalf. The old minister has persuaded His Highness to surrender along the way. There were many misunderstandings. His Highness was also deceived and had to do this. His Highness." The old minister has already brought me here to plead guilty. Please open the door and let His Majesty the Crown Prince plead guilty in front of His Majesty."
Qin and Liu looked at each other and sighed inwardly, Jiang was still too old to be hot, so he had to trick him into opening the door first.
After a while, there was still no sound inside the door. At this time, Cui Yan stepped forward and loudly explained in detail the causes and consequences of His Royal Highness’s rebellion...
After saying this, Cui Yan shouted: "Your Majesty, there are too many misunderstandings. His Royal Highness has already realized his mistake and is now kneeling in front of the iron gate to apologize!"
Cui Yan winked back, and the prince quickly stepped forward and knelt in front of the door, crying to the door: "Your Majesty, there is a minister outside the door. I know that I am wrong, and I also mistakenly thought that your majesty is the funeral director... I thought Prime Minister Huo and others did not announce the mourning secretly and wanted to depose my son as the crown prince, so I had to take this strategy. Your Majesty, I am waiting for your Majesty's death outside the door."
At this time, in the cave inside the door, everyone's faces were illuminated by the firelight, and their faces were uncertain. Especially when Huo Zheng heard that the prince actually thought that he was secretly mourning and wanted to dethrone the prince? He wouldn't even dare to do this, wouldn't he? The people in the East Palace really dare to think.
But then again, the prince's party was faced with the kind of environment and dilemma before, and it was helpless to think wrongly. Think about it from another perspective, if Huo Zheng was faced with that kind of situation, he might also think wrongly, who would let His Majesty Do you have to practice this art of immortality? There has been no news for more than a year, anyone would think twice about it.
But now that we're in this situation, we can't be lazy, right? Maybe they will be the ones to take the blame in the end. Regardless of whether the prince's rebellion was intentional or unintentional, the prince's position will definitely not be saved.
When the emperor heard this, he turned to Huo Zheng and asked, "Huo Aiqing, what do you think of the words of the prince and Cui Yan?"
After Huo Zheng considered his words, he said: "Your Majesty, I believe that what the Crown Prince and Cui Xiangguo said may indeed have a reason. We have to believe it, and we cannot believe it entirely. However, no matter what the reason is for His Majesty's rebellion, His Majesty is disloyal to Your Majesty." Loyalty or filial piety, Wei Chen thought that the situation was unclear and we could not open the door. There were few of us and it was not clear whether the other party's intentions were beneficial to us. Wei Chen thought that it would not be too late for us to go out after Captain Cheng and the soldiers from the North Camp came to help. "
Huo Zheng's last words meant that the Crown Prince and Cui Yan might be in trouble, so during the insurance period, it's better not to open the door...
The emperor turned to look at Eunuch Lu again and asked his opinion. Lu Liang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the prime minister is mature and prudent, and this old slave also means the same thing."
The emperor nodded to express his approval of Huo Zheng's opinion.
In this way, the two sides were separated by an iron gate. You came and I talked to each other, but the prince and Cui Yan were not opening the door anyway. At this time, there were shouts of killing outside Ji Palace, and the prince seemed to be a little panicked.
At this time, a soldier, covered in blood, ran to the prince and said: "His Royal Highness, something is not going well. The Beiying Army has entered the palace and many of our brothers have been defeated..."
At this time, Cui Yan was also anxious and shouted through the big iron gate: "Hey! Your Majesty! Your Majesty, how come you, the Holy Ming Zhuzhao, can't stand this life-and-death test now? I am more than seventy this year, and I am a very popular minister. Assisting the late emperor and your majesty, I feel that I have no regrets in this life. Even if I die now, I will have no regrets. But I watched you lead the Jin Dynasty with wisdom and martial arts to sweep away the world and unify it. But now you are bewitched by the enchantress in an attempt to live forever. Not old."
"Your Majesty, everyone is destined to die, why are you so persistent? Your Majesty, your civil and military skills are enough to shine for all ages. Why, Your Majesty, do you refuse to let go? I have persuaded Your Highness, your Majesty, as long as you open the iron Door, we are still Your Majesty’s loyal and obedient ministers, Your Majesty! Please open the door!”
At this time, a look of madness flashed in the prince's eyes, and he shouted: "It's too late. Give me the siege equipment. You must open this iron gate for me now."
He turned his head and glanced at the three monks headed by Ma Yuan, and said: "Masters, you guys are coming forward too. Even if we forcefully break it down, we still have to break open this iron gate."
The three monks took the order, sacrificed magic weapons and blasted towards the iron gate.
Before Cui Yan finished speaking, the iron gate began to shake violently. Everyone in the cave understood. The prince outside the gate became anxious and went straight to the siege equipment. Just now, he had an attitude of admitting his mistake. Now, They immediately began to storm the Iron Gate. Doesn't this make it clear that after all the nonsense they just talked about, they actually wanted to trick the Iron Gate into opening the Iron Gate and kidnap the Emperor?
Everyone vaguely saw His Majesty sitting on a wooden wheelchair, his face turning the color of pig liver with anger, and then he started coughing violently, and suddenly he coughed up black blood when he tilted his head. Lu Liang and Huo Zheng were shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly came up Check beforehand, the emperor must not get into trouble at this critical moment...
At this time, the patriarch Ahrami who was escorting him also stepped forward and injected a lot of spiritual energy into the emperor's body to heal the internal injuries. The emperor finally looked better, exhaled and nodded to Ahlami:
"Thank you to the great patriarch. If I can escape this disaster, I will personally conquer this so-called Taisha Kingdom and help the great patriarch to restore his country."
At this time, Ahrami gently said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this will happen later. You must take care of your dragon body now. Your Majesty will be released from seclusion in two days. You must not be emotional. Even after you are released from seclusion, you must not be emotional." Be careful not to be overly happy or overly sad, as this will seriously damage His Majesty’s meridians, and the effectiveness of the Pantheon Pill will also be greatly reduced..."
The emperor said helplessly: "Patriarch, please rest assured, I know..."
The emperor was depressed. How could he not be angry in this situation? Cui Yan, an old thief, didn't even hesitate to get involved with the prince. What he did just now was obviously to deceive the door and kidnap the prince. As soon as he woke up, he was betrayed by the prince and ministers whom he trusted the most, and his lungs were drained. About to explode.
The emperor coughed a few times, and his complexion seemed to be much better. Eunuch Lu quickly supported the emperor and slowly massaged his back to relax.
At this time, in the Ji Palace, Prince Xiu and his 300 dead soldiers cooperated with Cheng Pu's northern army to fight all the way to the inner palace. The prince's tens of thousands of mobs only focused on burning, killing and looting. When they saw the regular army coming, they only resisted for a few rounds. Taking the looted property and women, they dispersed.
Mu Sheng, who was hiding in the side hall, saw the Northern Army coming to the palace and knew that the situation had become clear. He also saw Young Master Xiu Ye leading hundreds of disciples among the Northern Army to suppress the rebellion. He was moved in his heart and simply showed up to join the Northern Army. The counter-insurgency team's escorting efforts were in vain anyway. He knew very well that the Northern Army was now an important force influencing the situation.
When Prince Xiu saw Mu Sheng suddenly appeared, his heart moved. Sure enough, this son was secretly summoned to the palace. It seemed that the rumors might be true, but he didn't know how he escaped from the prince's rebellious gang.
After Gongzi Xiu and Mu Sheng made a heads-to-head gesture, Mu Sheng stepped forward and spoke to the commander of the Northern Army, Colonel Cheng Pu: "General Cheng, the rebels are attacking the back mountain at this time. His Majesty is right there. Let's go quickly to support him. "
Hearing this, Cheng Pu didn't waste any time. He waved his hand and ordered: "My sons, follow me to rescue them."
The Northern Army's tens of thousands of troops marched toward the rear mountain in a mighty manner.
At this time, in the mountain behind the Taiji Palace, thousands of men and horses under the prince's command were still operating various engineering equipment to attack the cave. At this time, the large iron gate on the left was tossed for half, and finally fell down with a bang. The prince and his party After rushing into the cave, they saw more than 300 lieutenants and more than 100 Sanmu warriors waiting in formation.
The prince, Qin Shao, Guo Huan and others finally led the dead soldiers into the cave, but saw an incredible scene. The emperor was sitting on a wooden wheelchair, his face looked like a zombie, half dead, surrounded by civil and military officials. , surrounded by hundreds of elite guardsmen wearing heavy armor, all with bows and arrows, swords and guns unsheathed.
The prince, Qin and Liu looked at each other in confusion. For a moment, they didn't know what to do next. The emperor sitting in the middle directly shouted: "Mu Bai, you rebellious son without a king and a father, are you going to kill him?" Jun?"
The prince was stunned on the spot while holding the sword. Prime Minister Zuo Huo Zheng pointed at the prince and roared: "Prince, what are you going to do? Your Majesty will not put down the sword and surrender quickly if you do this again."
The right Prime Minister Cui Yan's expression changed slightly, and he yelled at the prince next to him: "There is a witch beside your majesty who is bewitching the Holy Heart. The traitor Huo Zheng is instigating a dissension between the father and son of the prince and your majesty. Your majesty, the Holy Ming Zhuzhao, was only bewitched by the traitor. You are so stupid, Prince, why are you still hesitating? Qingjun side!"
Huo Zheng and other court officials turned pale with anger when they saw that Cui Yan, an old thief, had turned them all into traitors and that the blame was firmly placed on them.
When the emperor heard this, he was so angry that he was shaking in his wheelchair and couldn't even say a complete sentence. When the patriarch saw this, his expression changed slightly and he immediately sent spiritual energy into the emperor's body, which made the emperor look much better.
Cui Yan's "Qingjun side" was like a heavy hammer hitting the prince's heart, and also woke up the prince's party.
The prince stared at the inhuman emperor, raised his sword tremblingly, and slowly said three words: "Qingjun side..."
As if these three words had exhausted all the strength of the prince, the prince knew that he had no way out and could only make one mistake to the end.
Qin, Liu and other Tai Party disciples roared angrily: "Kill the traitors and traitors. Qingjun is on your side. Come forward, brothers."
They also understood that if they did not fight hard now, they would not even have the chance to fight hard in the future. The prince's party was like wild beasts out of the cage, charging towards the elite lieutenant army with shouts.
Huo Zheng saw that the emperor was so angry that he had no choice but to make his own decision and roared: "The time has come for the soldiers to be loyal to your majesty. The support of the Northern Army will arrive soon. Kill the rebels, and you will be promoted to the fifth level and rewarded." Ten thousand gold.”
Upon hearing this, the lieutenant army's morale increased greatly, and they also roared and rushed towards the prince's party. Although there were many of the prince's party, they were crowded in this narrow cave. The prince's party's numerical advantage could not be extended, so they could only bite the bullet and charge forward. There were sounds of fighting in the cave, and for a moment no one could do anything to anyone. Beside the emperor, who was closely guarded by the patriarch, the lieutenant army, the warriors of the Sanmu tribe and the princelings fought bloody battles.
After a cup of tea, the prince personally led the charge and was about to break through the lieutenant's army.
At this time, a voice came from behind thousands of rebels: "Your Majesty, Cheng Pu's rescue is late, I will kill the sons and daughters, and not a single one of this gang of rebels can escape..."
When the prince heard this, he was shocked. The prince's party was attacked from both sides, and their morale was already low. In the cave, the lieutenant's army heard that support had arrived, and their morale was like a rainbow. They roared and rushed towards the prince's dead soldiers. The prince's party was defeated one after another. Everyone could see It turns out that the prince's defeat has been decided...
