The fighting has officially begun, and tonight is destined to be uneventful and sleepless.
Gu Yue led a team of people to the Su Mansion and the Duke's Mansion, and asked them to surround the front and back doors.
"Bring the Su family and Su Wan out to me." Following her order, the rebels directly broke through the doors of the two mansions.
However, the expected shouts did not come as expected. Soon, the rebels ran out without taking any hostages.
"Princess, the Duke's Mansion and the Su Mansion are two empty mansions. There is no one inside."
These rebels all called Gu Yue the princess in private.
When Gu Yue heard this, her eyes suddenly widened and she was so angry.
"Su Wan, you are kidding me!"
It turns out that during this period, I have been confused by the performance she created.
"Isn't there even a servant?" she asked immediately.
The rebels nodded, yes, the two mansions were so clean that not a single servant was seen.
"Go and search to see if there are any secret passages. If you can catch one, you will be lucky." Gu Yue was really unwilling to give in.
It is very important to them whether the Su family and the Duke's government are under control.
If there are no hostages, how can Jiang Yu and Su Jing be restrained?
In other words, they had already thought that something would happen tonight, so they left Kyoto through the secret passage in advance.
But as long as they have just left, she can always make people catch up with these old, weak, sick and disabled people.
However, she still didn't dare to think that she had left Kyoto more than a month ago and was far away in Zhongzhou.
The four gates of the imperial city, according to Su Chen's instructions, did not directly conflict with the rebels. After resisting for a while, they began to retreat.
It seemed like daylight in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but the sound of swords clashing could clearly be heard in the square outside.
The Square of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, a square that can accommodate 50,000 people, is now crowded with people.
Su Chen and the commander of the forbidden army led their side to guard the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The rebels were on the opposite side and were completely defeated in numbers.
The rebel commander was not in a hurry, he just blocked everyone's way.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... It's not good, the rebels have invaded. There are as many as 30,000 people, and they have surrounded the Hall of Supreme Harmony." A eunuch was so frightened that he crawled in to report the news.
Their people totaled just over 10,000, and even the Imperial Guards were extremely brave men, but they were still outnumbered.
Even if there are still two thousand city defense battalion soldiers who can attack from behind, it's just an egg against a rock.
Murong Sheng showed a smile, looked up to the sky and drank a glass of wine.
In the main hall, all the courtiers were already panicking, and some had begun to tremble.
Murong Huai didn't panic at all, but looked at the next few feudal kings calmly.
"Why, you can't wait so much. Your father's body has just been put into the imperial mausoleum today, and you can't wait to come to the palace?"
"Since ancient times, the road to the throne has been full of bloodshed. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Only those who are capable take the throne. The same goes for us." Murong Sheng played with the wine glass in his hand.
Murong Huai sneered and simply changed to a comfortable position, leaning on the dragon chair:
"Then Brother Five Emperors, what do you want to do? Do you want to make the Palace of Supreme Harmony bleed like a river?"
"That's not the case. I am a clean person and don't like to see too bloody scenes. If you hand over the jade seal and military talismans, you can live. If you don't hand over, no one will die in our hall, but wait. The family is already under my control. You must weigh it yourself whether you want to defend Murong Huai to the death or adapt to the current situation and protect the overall situation. You, the pillars of the country, must have a strong balance in your heart."
Now, all the official residences and family members of officials in Kyoto have been arrested.
The team sent by Gu Yue found a tunnel in Su Mansion.
However, Su Chen's people were already guarding the southeast gate.
"Princess, Zhu Liang is dead."
When Gu Yue heard the news, she looked at the rebel under her in disbelief.
"Why did Zhu Liang die so quickly?"
She vaguely felt that something was wrong. Had Zhu Liang's betrayal been discovered long ago? Did they let them into the city on purpose?
Thinking of this, Gu Yue hurried towards the imperial city.
The journey was smooth and we arrived at Xuanwu Gate. Most of the people in the Square of Taihe Hall were our own people.
But she already had a bad feeling in her heart.
Just five miles away from Kyoto, Jiang Guogong was already waiting here with 50,000 troops.
Just waiting for two bouquets of fireworks to be released from the direction of Kyoto as a signal, he immediately led his army to attack the imperial city to protect them and encircle and suppress the rebels.
It seemed that Murong Sheng had everything under control, but in fact, Murong Huai had everything under control.
He held two luminous pearls in his hand, and his fingers were extremely flexible, as if he were holding Murong Sheng.
"Your Majesty, King Jin's concubine is here and she wants to enter the palace." The eunuch came in again to report.
When Murong Sheng heard that Gu Yue was going to enter the palace, she couldn't help but narrowed her eyes. Didn't she say that she could just wait outside?
"Since Concubine Gu is here, please come in." Murong Huai thought to himself, it's good to be here, everyone is here.
After a while, I saw Gu Yue coming in, panting.
She did not kowtow to the new emperor, but came directly to sit next to Murong Sheng, then leaned over and spoke something in his ear. The more she spoke, the deeper Murong Sheng's brows furrowed.
Murong Huai exchanged a look with Jiang Yu, and the two of them smiled in unison.
Kyoto is easy to get in but not easy to get out of.
Murong Sheng took a deep look at Murong Huai, who was above him. He seemed to have that bad premonition too.
"Murong Huai, if you don't want to surrender, then I have no choice but to kill those hostages. I will kill one in a quarter of an hour. I know you have backup plans, but you don't want your ministers to have their families destroyed, right?"
Murong Sheng knew that he had to speed up the progress, otherwise, the longer he delayed, the worse it would be for him.
When the ministers heard what Murong Sheng said, they all panicked, and some were already praying.
"Your Majesty, please save my family. My grandson is only six years old."
"His Majesty……"
Some ministers with a bad mentality were frightened to death and hurried to the palace to plead for mercy, hoping that Murong Huai would save their families.
Murong Huai made a gesture, and Jiang Yu got up and went to the inner hall. After a while, Jiang Yu brought out Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhuang.
With them, there were actually two children of Princess Chu and King Chu, one was only two and a half years old, and the other was still in his infancy.
There are also two legitimate sons and a legitimate daughter of King Qi.
When King Chu saw this, he stood up immediately, and King Qi couldn't help but panic.
He came to Kyoto deliberately without bringing the princess and two children because he was afraid that they would become hostages. Why did they appear here at this moment?
The Crown Prince of Chu had begun to cry loudly, and the youngest daughter of King Chu was also crying, which made King Chu's heart feel like a knife.
"Murong Huai, what do you mean?"
