God bless ten years, February 21st. The sky was extremely gloomy, and the sun had disappeared from the gray sky early in the morning. Not long after, it began to rain heavily again. The cool breeze picked up the raindrops, which crackled on the roof like broad beans, like the drumbeat of an march.

At night, the wind stopped and the rain stopped, and the entire Bianjing city was dark and silent. Prince Yan's Mansion, main hall. The lights in the palace were brightly lit, and King Yan was wearing the imperial robes and crown, with a solemn look on his face.

The personal guard stood beside him and said respectfully: "Your Highness, everything is ready, just wait for His Highness to give the order." King Yan nodded, turned to look at the white-faced scribe in the palace, and asked: "Xiao Meng outside the city, Xiao How about the Xiong Er Army?" The white-faced scribe bowed to King Yan, and then smiled confidently and said: "Li Yan, the commander of the Xiao Meng Army, has made preparations. In the past few days, Li Yan has secretly won over more than ten generals, and he has the elite soldiers of the Xiao Meng Army in his hands. More than two thousand. In the Xiaoxiong Army, the two disobedient generals of the Third Battalion and the Fourth Battalion have been eliminated by our design. They were dismissed by the Ministry of War for fighting with their subordinates. Now the soldiers and horses of these two battalions are composed of Xiaoxiong Army. The commander of the capital, Chang Yuan, has more than 2,000 troops and horses." King Yan asked again, "Where is the Rong family?" The white-faced scribe said, "Rong Xian has promised that he will fight for the Rong family at three o'clock tonight. We opened the palace door and let the Xiaomeng and Xiaoxiong troops and the palace guards into the palace. There were only a few thousand guards in the palace. As long as Rong Xian, the deputy commander in front of the palace, shouted loudly, the guards would be caught off guard and they would be killed. There is civil strife. We only need to fight quickly, attack the palace with lightning speed, control the officials and the queen, and the situation will be settled!" King Yan frowned silently, and compiled every detail of all the plans. I went through everything carefully in my mind, and after making sure there were no mistakes, I nodded slowly.

King Yan turned to look at the thin middle-aged scribe with a sickly face: "What did the Wucheng Army and Horse Division say?" The middle-aged scribe said: "Wu Mou, the deputy commander of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division, heard that the Rong family Now that he is on our side, his confidence in us has greatly increased. He will find a way to seize military power from the capital commander Dou Laoxi, control the Bianjing city gate, and resist the reinforcements from the western suburbs camp. Wu Mou will also send people around the city. Arson fire and disrupt the situation, so that all the wealthy families in the city dare not act rashly."

"If you can give me another two months, maybe I can be more confident..." King Yan's face was as dark as water, and he shook his head, shaking off the inappropriate emotion.

In two months, King Yong will officially become the crown prince. The minds of those under him may also become wavering, and their strength will be weakened. It is better to take advantage of the fact that the dust has not yet settled and strike unexpectedly with a thunderous strike. .

King Yan took a deep breath and looked around with majestic eyes at the few people in the palace. Together with Rong Xian who was still in the palace and Wu Mou from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division, these people were his team for the uprising.

If things come true, they will definitely be ranked among the three Dukes in the future, and they will be honored as princes. If he fails, he will go to hell with him... When he stood up, King Yan's eyes were full of murderous intent, and there was also a bit of morbid madness. He drew out the sword from his waist, raised his arms and shouted: "Make great contributions, make great achievements, Today is the day! Everyone, are you willing to follow me, lift a three-foot green sword, and aspire to the title of "How heavy is it?" In the main hall of the palace, everyone's emotions were ignited, and they bowed in unison: "I am willing to die for your highness!" ...an hour later, the night was already dark.

The Imperial City of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Xuande Gate. The palace lanterns hung high on the tall towers illuminated the empty square inside and outside the gate as bright as day.

In the square inside the gate, a team of dozens of guards were on guard duty at night. At this time, the sound of neat footsteps suddenly came from the darkness in the distance.

The guards were stunned for a moment, and then their expressions became tense. They unconsciously clenched the spears in their hands. The leaders drew their swords and shouted: "Who is this?" In the deep night, a cold snort came from , a middle-aged man in his forties walked out slowly wearing a helmet, followed closely by hundreds of fully armed soldiers.

When Du Tou saw the person clearly, he was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly saluted and said, "My subordinates pay homage to the Commander-in-Chief!" The person who came was none other than Rong Xian, the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Department in front of the palace.

Rongxian looked at Dutou and said expressionlessly: "I just received your Majesty's order. There are thieves in the palace tonight, and I have been ordered to take over Xuandemen." Are there thieves in the palace?

Du Tou couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat when he heard the words. After hesitating for a moment, he still lowered his head and asked, "May I ask, the Commander-in-Chief, if you have a talisman for ordering soldiers, or is there an explicit order from His Majesty?" Rong Xian narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Du Tou, coldly. He said: "Are you questioning me?"

"I don't dare," Dutou said seriously, "It's just the responsibility of the general, I hope your commander-in-chief won't be offended."

"Of course there are transfer orders. Who dares to transfer troops without permission? How many heads do you think this general has?" A sharp look flashed in Rong Xian's eyes, but the smile on his lips became deeper and deeper. He reached into his arms and said with a smile to Dutou: "The transfer order is here. Come here and take a closer look." Dutou never thought that someone would dare to rebel. When Rong Xian said that there was a transfer order, Dutou couldn't believe it. , he had put aside most of the doubts in his heart, and immediately leaned over.

Rongxian did not disappoint Dutou. He took out something from his arms, but it was not the order as Dutou thought, but a half-foot-long dagger.

In the flash of lightning, the dagger silently passed through Dutou's neck, and blood spurted out. Their heads and eyes widened, and they looked at Rong Xian in disbelief. They covered their necks with their hands and opened their mouths wide, but they couldn't make a sound.

The guards behind Dutou were in chaos when they saw this. They were all at a loss and didn't know what to do.

The soldiers behind Rong Xian took this opportunity and rushed forward with shouts. On one hand, they were caught off guard, but on the other hand, they were well prepared. Besides, there was a huge gap in the number of people. In just half a cup of tea, dozens of guards were slaughtered.

Then Rongxian ordered his own soldiers to clean up the remaining guards on the city tower, and kill all those who did not want to adhere to him on the spot.

Not long after, all the soldiers on the Xuandemen Gate Tower were replaced by Rong Xian's trusted generals, and the horse road at the head of the city was filled with corpses.

Looking at the corpses and blood on the ground at the top of the city, Rong Xian looked indifferent and waved to his subordinates: "Wave the torch to tell the people outside that Xuande Gate has been taken, and the door will be opened for them in three seconds." At the same time, Wu Mou, deputy commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, suddenly launched an attack as planned.

Wu Mou first pretended to invite his colleagues to drink and have fun, secretly drugged the wine, and stunned a group of senior generals including the commander Dou Laoxi, and then led his confidants to take over the Five Cities Army and Horses Division.

At the first moment of the twelfth lunar month, Wu Mou opened the Jingyang Gate to the west of Bianjing City. Under the cover of night, Li Yan and Chang Yuan led more than 5,000 elite soldiers of the Xiao Meng and Xiao Xiong armies to quietly enter Bianjing City and rush straight towards the imperial city.
