I handed in the sand sculpture through the book system

After knowing the truth, not only Xiang Liang, but even the king of Qi felt such a chill in his back—the original plan was to seal off the palace to isolate the inside and outside, and call the ministers into the palace to solve the problem in one fell swoop.But with the current situation, even if a little eunuch escapes from the tunnel to report the accident, their estimates will all collapse, and the next thing is that the whole city will rebel and besiege the palace...

Under this anxiety, after all, it was King Qi who reacted first.While asking Xiang Liang to send someone to search the tunnel, he pointed out the crux of the current situation—no matter how much the Queen Mother gets into her head, it is impossible to make the tunnel known to everyone; this kind of private thing, except for a few of the Queen Mother As a confidant, it is estimated that only her lover raised outside the palace can know the news.As long as we try to catch all the queen mother's lovers, the situation can still be controlled.

Xiang Liang suddenly understood these few sentences, and ordered all the cronies of the Empress Dowager to be escorted to personally interrogate the affair in the palace.These court ladies and eunuchs lived in the deep palace for a long time, and they were trembling in front of guns and gunpowder. After being slightly shocked by Xiang Liang's interrogation skills, they immediately prostrated themselves on the ground trembling, and recruited the empress dowager's lover list completely.

To put it simply, the empress dowager has traveled through the spring, and the selection criteria for the interview is that those who come will not refuse to choose the best; over the past ten years, they have recruited elites from all over the world, including personal bodyguards, ministers in Beijing, and those who have entered the palace from other places. A petty official, a doctor who waits on illnesses and diagnoses the pulse, as long as he is good enough, he can be a guest in the harem.After explaining this long list, Xiang Liang and the others were short-sighted, and their expressions became more astonished; on the contrary, King Qi was used to the dirty and smelly harem for decades, and his expression was still calm.

But when the list reached the last few names, King Qi finally couldn't hold back anymore.He took a breath and said in shock:

"King Wucheng?"

The palace maid who shrank on the ground nodded tremblingly, King Qi's face changed several times, and it was wonderful in an instant, as if he was greatly shocked.Xiang Liang didn't know why, so he asked cautiously: "This King Wucheng is..."

King Qi was silent for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said:

"This is the late emperor's half-brother."

He thought for a while, and for the sake of both sides' frankness, he gritted his teeth and confessed the truth

"Probably, about—about the age of the emperor."

Xiang Liang opened his mouth, and his expression became extremely exciting.

Although King Qi had already decided to rebel and change the dynasty, he still felt a little ashamed and resentful for letting this group of Taoyuan people from the Southern Dynasty know about such a private scandal.But the embarrassment was fleeting, and the politicians' calculations came up again.He thought about it for a while, and immediately knew that things might change, so he immediately warned:

"In the last years of the late emperor, the clan was killed, and all brothers and sisters were killed. Only King Wucheng escaped his life when he was young and ignorant. Now he is the most prestigious clan in the capital." He said quickly: "If you let him Knowing the changes in the palace, if you raise your arms, I am afraid that all the ministers loyal to the royal family in the capital will be linked together to make us enemies..."

Xiang Liang squinted his eyes, and immediately understood the situation.He thought for a while, and immediately made a decision.

"There is no turning back when you open the bow. If this is the case, you can only shoot fast and take the road of adapting to the situation." Xiang Liang reached out to tap the earphone, and at the same time he smiled slightly at Qi Wang: "——Then, how much manpower can His Highness mobilize in the city? Woolen cloth?"

At the third quarter of that day, horses’ hoofs rattled on Chang’an City Imperial Street. Dozens of black-clothed knights rushed out from the palace gate. Hunting and flying red banners.The common people along the street caught a glimpse of this urgent battle, and immediately there was a burst of surprised noise.These people live under the roots of the imperial city and are no strangers to this scene.The Northern Dynasties had strict regulations, and only when there was a major change in the state affairs, the imperial guards would be sent to summon the relatives and noble ministers into the palace with banners; now the emperor is hunting outside, and only the queen mother supervises the country in Beijing. Could it be that something important happened in the palace?

Amid such panic-stricken speculation, the seven or eight knights headed by galloped on their horses and headed straight for King Wucheng's residence on the west side of the city.But there was no one in front of the big palace, all the front and side doors were closed, and not even a single sound could be heard from the walls.

The guard in black rode forward and was about to call for the door, but he heard a few sharp winds whizzing from the wall; he jumped hastily, got off his horse and hid his head in his arms, only to hear the horse whine, and there were already four or five heavy weights on his body. arrow.

The knight curled up on the ground was spattered with blood, and his right arm was also scratched by the arrow.With a groan, he rolled on the spot, and quickly rolled to the shade of the street corner where the arrow could not reach.The rest of the knights rode their horses back together, but they heard a loud laugh from within the fence, and some people shouted loudly, insulting some rebellious officials and traitors, and they deserve to die.

The knight sitting on the horse remained motionless, but reached out and tapped on the side of his ear.After a while, he turned around slightly, but gave instructions softly:

"It seems that King Wucheng has received the news of the palace change. Don't worry about other things, let's attack first!"

The people behind nodded silently.One of the knights got off his horse, but took out a pillar wrapped in red cloth from the bamboo basket on the horse's back.He uncovered the red cloth, picked up the brand new metal cylinder inside, and adjusted the position slightly.

"Azimuth aiming accurate, ready to launch—r!p!g!"

With a whoosh, a wave of air surged, and then a flame burst out from the cylinder, drawing a bright trajectory in midair.

After the fire fell to the ground, distant and dull loud noises came randomly, and the air waves rising into the sky raised dust to cover the sky, and together with them, there were cries in the palace one after another.The leading knight immediately galloped forward, signaling to the soldiers behind him to take out the equipment behind the horse.

"Prepare to attack, watch out for back arrows!"

·

In general, Xiang Liang's actions this time have had many twists and turns.In terms of fashion, it seems that the Yuan clan in the Northern Dynasty has not yet fulfilled its destiny, and there is still some vitality in the dark.Even under the suppression of the cross-age firepower, there are still many moths in the whole palace change plan.

Although Xiang Liang and the others were nimble and quick-moving, but only a moment after they entered the palace, King Wucheng still got the news of the coup in the palace through secret channels, and summoned his guards in advance to make preparations.The knights who came to summon the ministers reacted very quickly and broke through the palace with heavy firepower; however, the palace was difficult to control, and King Wucheng still took advantage of the chaos to escape with the dead and quickly disappeared into the sea of ​​people in Chang'an.

After hearing the news, Xiang Liang immediately felt his scalp tighten and his heart beat faster, knowing that the plan had been completely ruined—if he got rid of a high-ranking and close clan clan during the palace change, then the world would be full of chaos, The top scene where everyone eats chicken!

At this point, Xiang Liang didn't care about face anymore.He sent drones to monitor the entrance and exit of the city gate; reached an agreement with King Qi, mobilized the deployment of King Qi's mansion in the capital for many years, and sent out scouts to scout around, trying to find the escaped King Wucheng and his party.At the same time, because of the lack of manpower at hand, Xiang Liang had no choice but to send a telegram to Muchen, asking him to support the military in Chang'an.

Previously he swore that the problem would be resolved before dinner; now that the situation is so turbulent that he has to ask for help, it is of course embarrassing to say it.Xiang Liang was secretly quite ashamed, thinking that he still had to reserve some redundancy for carrying out tasks in the future.

Fortunately, Mu Chen was very cooperative. After submitting the application, he immediately responded and agreed. He also recruited Wang Zhi as an on-site historical consultant to analyze the whereabouts of King Wucheng from the perspective of Chang'an City's defense.

·

Chang'an City is extremely vast, and the flow of news is quite slow.Although there was a small change in the palace of King Wucheng in the west of the city, the ministers scattered in various cities did not know about it.With the assistance of King Qi, the traversers had perfected their disguises, and most of the dignitaries were lured into the palace almost without any doubt.Then the guards quickly closed the gate of the palace and detained all the nobles in the palace.After confirming that the big bosses in the city were basically wiped out, the officials and guards of Prince Qi's Mansion immediately rushed out to the mansion of Jing Zhaoyin in Chang'an, quickly took over the city defense, blocked all the streets in the city, and tried their best to control the situation in the capital.

King Qi has been operating in Chang'an for a long time, and he has a lot of influence in the army and the court.Now the emperor is hunting in the north, the ministers of the imperial court are detained in the palace, and the entire Chang'an city is leaderless, completely powerless to resist this long-planned palace change.But within an hour or two, most of the large and small ministries in the capital, as well as the imperial guards stationed outside the city, had been instigated by King Qi to seize power, and they turned against each other in an instant; a small number of yamen were still observing the direction, but basically It is silent and powerless to influence the situation.

According to the practice of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, both the capital's yamen and the forbidden army have already fallen into the bag, and the change of dynasty is already a certainty.Even if the Emperor's Divine Soldier suddenly appeared in the city, it would be powerless to restore the situation.

So far, the palace change process has been basically completed.The seizure of power in the city went smoothly, and the drones outside the city searched closely, but there was also good news—the drones equipped with laser scanning searched repeatedly, and finally identified an extremely secret path outside the city wall with AI.The cavalry rushed forward on horseback, and they bumped into the crowd of King Wucheng who were trying to flee away. After a fierce battle, the dead suffered heavy losses, but in the end they gave up their lives to protect King Wucheng and fled into the city, and once again escaped by taking advantage of the terrain. track.

After getting the news, Xiang Liang was refreshed, and immediately ordered the deployment of additional manpower to completely solve such a hidden danger in Chang'an City.King Wucheng and his party were all wounded, and the bloodstains they carried were almost wiped away under ultraviolet light.So the soldiers of the special forces continued to search, and found the direction where they were fleeing in less than ten minutes.So the encirclement closed quickly, and the soldiers who organized the encirclement judged the situation adjustment order, and at the same time reported the situation to Xiang Liang at any time through the walkie-talkie and asked for instructions.

By five o'clock in the afternoon, the encircling troops had greatly reduced the area, and it was basically certain that King Wucheng was hiding near Chang'an Taiye Pool.After hearing the report, King Qi frowned slightly, and immediately provided information: Taiye Pond was originally a place for the emperor to enjoy the cool in summer, surrounded by lush greenery and royal gardens everywhere.

Xiang Liang groaned, thinking that the other party probably wanted to escape under the cover of the garden.However, the laser scanning of drones is more rigorous than the net of sky and earth, not to mention the thermal imagers in the hands of soldiers.It's just such a small ingenuity, but it's just a little extra effort.

Sure enough, more than ten minutes later, the encircling troops sent a message saying that they had seen King Wucheng.This person panicked and had already hid in a "Tianyi Pavilion" by the pool.

It stands to reason that the encircling troops can attack immediately after discovering the figure.But the tone of the soldier's report was hesitant, and Xiang Liang was very surprised:

"Is there any problem with Tianyi Pavilion today?"

He asked a question, but turned to look at King Qi.King Qi pondered for a while, and then gave the answer.

"This is the treasury of the royal family, which stores all kinds of curiosities collected over the past dynasties." He paused, then opened his mouth again: "But..."

·

At [-]:[-] p.m., smoke was finally rising from the temporary kitchen carried by the traversers on the grassland.

Since the thunder shot yesterday, everyone in the emperor's camp was shocked.Therefore, for more than ten hours, Xingyuan has been orderly and obedient.In addition, the emperor of the Northern Dynasty had already been held in his hands. With this most noble hostage as a shield, the remaining loyal ministers and righteous men in the barracks were also cautious and dared not take any action.

In such a warm atmosphere, Mu Chen is quite in the mood to eat.He sat cross-legged on the grass covered with chemical fiber carpets, talking about various measures to deal with Rouran, while twirling his index finger and moaning in his belly, he waited dryly for the signal to start dinner in the kitchen.

But the signal for dinner didn't arrive, but the sound of Didi's communication from the radio station came. Mu Chen looked back and saw Liu Ming walking quickly holding a note, quickly reporting the situation:

"There is news from Chang'an. Xiang Liang sent a telegram saying that they trapped a clan from the Northern Dynasty on the Treasure Pavilion next to the Taiye Pond. This man poured oil on the attic and piled up wood. It is said that they will burn jade and stone together..."

Mu Chen frowned, Wang Zhi pondered for a moment, but then asked:

"Then what is stored in the Treasure Pavilion?"

Liu Ming glanced at the note, and then answered:

"Mainly large objects such as gold, silver, copper and iron..."

Wang Zhi's expression instantly relaxed, he leaned against the table, but his tone became quite relaxed:

"It's okay. The quality of kerosene in the Southern and Northern Dynasties is very poor, at most it is unrefined oil, and the burning effect is not as good as that of household vegetable oil. As long as there is no paper or other things in the attic, it will not be able to burn anything. You just ask them to bring two more carbon dioxide fire extinguishers. Anyway, large utensils are made by hand, so a small fire will not cause major problems.”

Liu Ming took the order and left, but turned around after a while, and there was another note in his hand.

"Xiang Liang also wants to ask about the handling of cultural relics..."

Wang Zhi shook his head indifferently, picked up the teapot, and poured water for himself and Mu Chen in turn.In the past month, he has seen too many rare cultural relics in the Southern Dynasty treasury, and his psychological threshold has been getting higher and higher under long-term stimulation. Now he can deal with the cultural relics calmly and calmly.

"How can we deal with it?" He said leisurely: "Don't worry, large cultural relics made of copper and iron are very durable, so there is no need to ask questions like this. It's not the Jade Seal of Chuanguo..."

Obviously, even if the emperors of the Northern Dynasties had their brains flooded, they obviously would not store jade seals in their private gardens.Now the jade seals in the Imperial Palace of the Northern Dynasty have long been tightly sealed by Xiang Liang and his party, waiting to be sent back for modern inspection.

But Liu Ming was not persuaded by Wang Zhi's words.He looked at the note carefully, and read out the paragraph in the telegram emphasized by Xiang Liang:

"—According to King Qi, Luoyang was originally the capital of the Northern Dynasty. At that time, the royal family of the Northern Dynasty searched Luoyang and cleaned it up and down. They dug up a few things from the ruins of the arsenal in the Western Jin Dynasty. Changan Neiku..."

Wang Zhi blinked, but the kettle in his hand was hanging in the air, resting on Mu Chen's teacup.His expression seems a little weird:

"……What is it?"

"These things have been carefully treasured and kept secret, and King Qi doesn't know much about them." Liu Ming continued to relay: "I just heard that it seems to be a Han sword and half a piece of wood."

No one spoke at that moment, but Wang Zhi's expression changed rapidly in a daze, as if it was the surge before the storm.A moment later, Mu Chen screamed and crawled backwards with hands and feet - it turned out that Wang Zhi flicked his wrist in a daze, and a stream of hot water poured all over his pants and crotch!

But it was too late for him to complain - in the next second, Wang Zhi suddenly reached out and grabbed Mu Chen's arm, his nails almost sinking into the flesh.Mu Chen opened his mouth in pain and anger and was about to curse, but was almost frightened by Wang Zhi's ferocious expression and screamed a second time.

Wang Zhi finally spoke slowly, but his voice was as terrifying as his expression.

"Emperor Han Gao cut the white snake sword!" He hissed: "Confucius clogs!"
