Chapter 175 Forced Palace
August 15.r?anw?e?nw?ww.
The moon is empty in the deep pavilion, and crows are roosting in the trees. The autumn dew does not know how to smell the sweet-scented osmanthus.
Mid-Autumn Festival is also known as Moon Eve, Moon Worship Festival or Reunion Festival. Since ancient times, there have been customs of worshiping the moon, appreciating the moon, eating moon cakes, appreciating osmanthus flowers and drinking osmanthus wine. On this day, people pray for a good harvest and good weather, and wanderers away from home pay homage to their hometown and miss their relatives.
The table in the True Dragon Palace is filled with tributes and incense is curling up.
Bai Yu smiled on the dragon chair. Everything went very smoothly. It took more than two hundred years of preparation to arrive at this day. The Mid-Autumn Festival is really a good festival.
Through the skylight, you can see the full moon hanging high in the sky, and the sound of killings in the Daming Palace is loud.
Time goes back to early morning...
Prince's Mansion.
The lights in the Prince's Mansion, which had been deserted due to Concubine Hu's rejection and disgust in the past, were still on. Li Zhang, who had not slept all night, couldn't help but tremble all over. He was excited, fearful and nervous. More than a dozen important figures in the room kept persuading and urging him.
.
"Your Highness! It will be too late if you don't take action!"
"A witch is causing trouble in the palace, and we have the responsibility to eliminate the demon! How can we just watch the witch ascend to the throne of God's Queen? How can we have the face to worship her in our family temple a hundred years from now?"
"The princes who helped the emperor to persecute the emperor and have sex with that witch are simply disgraceful!"
"Your Majesty is extravagant! There is a severe drought in the northwest, and the disaster relief money has been diverted to build a wine pool forest! His Majesty is no longer the wise and powerful one, but a puppet controlled by a witch! His Highness the Crown Prince must revive Chao Gang!"
"Your Highness! Don't hesitate any more! Give the order!"
The people who persuaded him included high-ranking ministers, generals with military support, and even children from well-established families.
They were very anxious. Whether it was forcing the soldiers to use the palace or buying off the guards guarding the palace gate, everything had been arranged. As long as Prince Li Zhang nodded, the plan would be implemented immediately. If no action was taken at dawn, everything would stop.
It is not easy to ambush so many soldiers in Chang'an. Once the news is leaked, they will die without a burial place.
The sealing ceremony will be held in the early morning of August 16th, and today is the last chance.
However, Prince Li Zhang's hesitation made all his followers anxious.
At this time, the people who were most stressed were not the followers but Li Zhang, the protagonist who forced the palace to rebel. No matter how perfect the plan was, it could not stop him from being nervous and panicked when facing a major decision. His whole body was already soaked with sweat, and his clothes stuck to his body, which made him even more stressed.
anxious.
Sitting on the chair, Li Zhang's legs kept shaking, and he didn't even know he was shaking his legs.
He put his sweaty palms on his trembling knees, wanting to drink tea to calm down. When he picked up the tea cup and the lid jingled, he realized that he was actually trembling...
He put down the tea cup and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"My dear prince, please speak up!"
A certain gray-bearded minister and elder begged, and even regretted why he chose such an indecisive prince. If he had known better, he would have chosen a simple-minded prince to promote him.
"I……"
Li Zhang was still hesitant.
Another follower suddenly thought of an excuse that would force Li Zhang to take action.
"Your Highness, your biological mother was humiliated and left with resentment. As a son, can you be filial? Even the ignorant and rough people in the countryside know that anyone who insults my mother will be killed without mercy. As a prince, can you remember the resentment of the queen?"
Li Zhang, who was originally hesitant, became angry and stood up with a roar.
"I remember! I remember how the queen ran away in anger! Kill! Leave no one behind!"
The others glanced at the sharp-tongued counselor with admiration, then knelt down and shouted that the prince was wise.
"The prince is wise!"
The Prince's Mansion took action. After everyone dispersed, they immediately mobilized their soldiers to use the last darkness before dawn to launch an ambush silently. Li Zhang regained his composure after being angry and was shocked by his decision, but he thought that since he had already taken action, let's go.
If you comfort yourself, you will be a good man again in eighteen years.
The operation went very smoothly, and the deployment was completed almost before dawn without anyone noticing.
The emperor's palace.
The old emperor dreamed that a knife was slashing at him. He woke up in fright and sat up. He touched his neck and realized that it was just a nightmare. He breathed a sigh of relief and saw the charming Concubine Hu sleeping in a lazy and seductive posture on the bed. He suddenly felt hot. Anyway,
It’s almost dawn and I can’t sleep, so I might as well crawl over and go to Wushan again…
They have to go to court when the sun rises. The prince and courtiers must get up before dawn and drink ginseng soup to avoid making a fool of themselves by urinating upside down. They must rush to the palace gate before dawn to prepare for the court.
Several princes maintained their royal dignity and stood at the palace gate waiting for the door to open. Suddenly they discovered that the prince was late today. This discovery made them excited. At least they had a chance to criticize the prince for being lazy and unpunctual.
The Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th is a good day, and many ministers are waiting to finish their morning court and go home to celebrate the festival.
However, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is destined to be unforgettable for everyone.
Densely packed soldiers with their arms tied with red cloth strips blocked the palace gate...
All the princes were shocked.
"Where are the thieves who want to rebel? I am..."
A burst of arrows were fired, and the few princes standing at the front were given special attention. The guards tried their best to stop them, but the elephants were killed by ants and died miserably in front of the palace gate. The neutral and uninvolved ministers hid away to avoid being covered in blood.
Li Zhang, wearing armor, stood in front of several brothers, condescending and contemptuous.
"Li Zhang! How dare you rebel!" A certain prince pretended to be brave and scolded him.
Hearing this, Li Zhang, who had been suppressing for a long time, became furious.
"You still have the nerve to talk nonsense here! Why weren't you so angry when you did that sloppy thing in Concubine Hu's palace? The face of the Li Tang Royal Family has been completely humiliated by you guys!"
"Nonsense! You are spitting blood!"
Li Zhang sneered, drew his sword and stabbed several brothers in yellow robes to death.
Pulling out his sword and wiping away the blood on the hot corpse's yellow robe, Li Zhang tried his best to conceal his confusion as he stabbed these brothers to death with his own hands.
"Your Highness, it's time to enter the palace."
"Instruct General Feng to open the palace gate and not harm innocent palace maids or eunuchs."
"yes!"
The morning sun gradually appears on the horizon, and the dazzling light gradually rises...
"Open the palace gate~!"
The guards opened the palace door, and those who greeted them were not the ministers who had come to court but countless fierce soldiers. However, the guards who opened the door also had red cloth strips tied on their arms.
The army that entered the palace easily defeated the unsuspecting guards and rushed all the way to the emperor's palace.
The old emperor had long been frightened by the shouts and the sound of weapons clashing and got up from his seductive body. He hurriedly put on his dragon robe under the waiting of the equally panicked palace maids and eunuchs, and then learned the news that his own son had entered the palace.
.
"The traitor! The traitor!"
The panicked fox demon looked at the direction where the killing sound came from, put on some clothes and ran away from the back door...
It is true that the fox demon has some cultivation, but this does not mean that he can survive the attack of the human army. He took several palace maids and eunuchs and ran back to his own palace in the harem in a panic to wait for changes.
What disappoints her is that the troops who forced the palace advanced very quickly, and in a short time they had already reached the palace of the old emperor!
The old emperor was almost furious as he looked at the fierce soldiers who came in.
"Rebellion! Everyone deserves to die! I will definitely kill you and other nine tribes!"
Dry words are not much of a deterrent. Anyone who dares to risk their lives to enter the imperial city is not a desperado, especially among them there are many violent thugs who have been sentenced to be executed by the Queen of Autumn. Their troops are fierce and unstoppable.
"Attack! Kill!"
