I am a cat in the palace

The disheveled empress dowager was rescued from the emperor's dragon bed, and word spread throughout the palace in just half a day.The emperor lost his mind after taking Wushisan, slapped the queen mother, called her a "slut", and said that her affair with the eunuch was known to everyone overnight.

After returning to the bedroom, Concubine Duan plunged headlong into the mattress, wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, and cried so loudly that the sun and the moon were darkened.

Seeing that Gui came in and wanted to persuade the queen, but he didn't know where to start, the anger in his heart was stronger than that of the queen.

How many hardships they have gone through, and how many people's wealth and lives have been gambled to get to the current situation, but their only child, the heir to the throne, has the virtue of today.

The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. He was just a little naughty child, how did he become such a terrifying appearance after sitting on the throne?Is it really because this position was won by the system, and the fourth child actually doesn't have this blessing at all?

Thinking about it, he was suddenly shocked, why did he suddenly have such an idea?The matter has not yet reached a desperate situation, why did he lose his spirit first?

On the bed, Concubine Duan was still lying on the quilt and weeping endlessly, but seeing Gui no longer had the patience to coax her, he yelled at her: "Okay, stop howling, are you afraid that others can't hear you?"

Concubine Duan was taken aback by his sudden roar, and her voice stopped abruptly when she cried halfway, but then a more angry and higher-pitched cry came out, and this time besides crying, it was also mixed with vicious curses.

Jian Gui stood there in a daze and stared blankly at the woman lying on the bed with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, feeling as if he was looking at a strange woman he had never seen before.

This was not the woman he had dreamed of marrying since he had glimpsed him in the street when he was fifteen.

This woman was not the woman he had risked his life to enter the palace to accompany him back then.

Nor is this woman crying with joy after giving birth to her son in the delivery room.

This woman was not the one he was willing to protect as a slave for the rest of his life.

He has never seen this woman before, and it seems that he has never known her before. He is so strange that he can no longer find her original appearance in his heart.

The woman's cries were deafening, and the curses were endless. He only felt that a hole had been broken in his heart. Suddenly, everything he had worked so hard for seemed to be meaningless. He turned and left, even though the woman screamed harshly behind him. calling his name—

"Jiangui! Where are you going! Come back to me! Jiangui! Come back!"

But he didn't seem to hear it, anyway, "Jiangui" wasn't his name at all.

"Ling Wuzheng is indeed cunning." Duan Zhenghong tapped on the table and narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the spies report that the Yanwei army did not pursue the defeated imperial guards, but camped in Shacheng, a hundred miles away from the capital.

Now the defense of the capital is under his full control, and he is ready to fight to the death, but he is not as pessimistic as Concubine Duan or Jiangui. In his eyes, even if the troops of Shang Xin and Shang Hui hit the base of the capital wall , this victory or defeat is still the number of five or five.

After all, it is not the two friendly armies that are fighting hand in hand, but the enemy that is also hostile and competing.

and……

He also has his backhand.

The coalition forces of the Second Prince and King Shun arrived outside the capital faster than expected, but for this speed, they paid a terrible price, which was the lives of almost one third of the soldiers. When they arrived at the city, the rest of the coalition forces All the troops add up to less than [-].

Shang Xin listened to the report of the horse exploration, turned around to discuss with Ling Wuji, and decided to make an appearance of preparing to attack the capital first, and advance the battle line another fifty miles.

Sure enough, as soon as the Yanwei army pulled out the camp, King Shun, who was planning to take a breather, couldn't sit still immediately. After discussing with Wei Guogong, he completely ignored the second prince's suggestion, gave up the plan to camp and rest, and directly led the troops to the capital. rush away.

King Shun was really eager to return to that city.

It has been more than 14 years since he left Beijing at the age of 20. Over the years, he has been pretending to be a fool and concentrating on business, just to return to this city one day and regain the throne that should belong to him.

Now, the high walls of the city are clearly in sight, he is so excited that he does not even want to wait any longer for a cup of tea, he wants to rush in, he wants to wash away the humiliation he has suffered with blood, and he wants to tell the world that he is The True Dragon Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty!

"My lord, have you delivered the news?" Standing on a hillside that wasn't too high, King Shun stared closely at the gate of the imperial capital not far away.

Wei Guogong also had sweat on his forehead, but his eyes were full of confidence, "Don't worry, the signal smoke has risen, I believe the city gate will open soon."

At this time, Duan Zhenghong was looking at an inconspicuous green smoke rising from the distant hillside on the city wall of the imperial capital, with a cold smile on his lips, "Reply smoke, open the city gate in half an hour! "

"Look! The city gate is open!"

Shun Wang and Wei Guogong exchanged surprise glances, and the city gate opened.

However, based on the most basic prudence, they did not rush in immediately, but sent a trustworthy striker to rush in first.

Sure enough, there was a fierce hissing sound immediately inside, and after a while, the vanguard who rushed in galloped out, and at the same time brought the representatives of the aristocratic family that Wei Guogong had arranged in the capital, and they came out together to confirm that there were not many people inside. The army was in ambush, but the guards who heard the news were constantly sending reinforcements here.

In other words, the army can enter the city!

Seeing the internal response arranged by themselves, and confirming the facts that Pioneer saw with their own eyes, King Shun and Duke Wei both believed that they should not miss this opportunity. Since the gate of the city has been opened, they should enter the city immediately. First rush into the palace and seize the false emperor and traitorous concubine to avenge the late emperor!

But at this time, the second prince suddenly appeared, and he stood coldly behind them, "The Yanwei army arrived before us, but they didn't enter the city."

"That's because they can't open the city gate." Wei Guogong is really tired of this nephew who always doubts himself. He has even reached an agreement with King Shun in private. Naturally, he will not be shaken, and he himself will be appointed as the future chief minister of the cabinet.

He believed that such a condition would not be given to him even if his own nephew became the emperor.

An idle relative and the chief minister of the cabinet with one person under one and over ten thousand people, but any reasonable person knows how to choose.

The second prince continued to look at them coldly, turned around and walked back, apparently not intending to rush into the capital with them, but unfortunately, he has no right to speak in the coalition army, and there are less than eight thousand people who really obey his orders, Wei Guogong suddenly The eccentricity caught him off guard.

If Wei Guogong dared to show his renunciation two years ago, the second prince walked back and thought a little angrily, he would have eaten him long ago, but at this time, even if he was eaten, it would only make the battle situation more passive. It doesn't help at all.

"The East City Gate suddenly opened wide! The Second Prince and King Shun's army rushed in." Panting, Tan Ma rushed back to the Yanwei Army's camp to report.

"The second prince and King Shun also went in?" Upon hearing the news, Shang Xin and Ling Wuzheng did not show any surprise or panic, as if they had expected it.

"No, the Second Prince's Wang Banner is still outside the city, but Wei Guogong and Shun Wang rushed in together."

"The second prince stayed outside the city alone? Duke Wei and King Shun rushed in?" Shang Xin found this combination quite interesting.

"Report! Your Highness, General, Wei Guogong and King Shun just entered the city, and the east gate was suddenly closed! The Nanyun Army and King Shun's army were cut off at the middle, and half of the troops failed to enter the city."

The second scout also galloped in after only one stick of incense, bringing brand new news.

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. King Shun has been cautious for half his life, and he only missed this last step. Unexpectedly, he is so impatient." Ling Wuzheng shook his head.

"The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. Shun Wang Su thinks very highly of himself, and he wanted to be top-notch in everything at a young age. His forbearance and prudence these years were actually forced. When the battle for the throne was lost to the late emperor, he was forced to It was also because of lack of composure that he showed his ambitions in front of the emperor, and ended up being sent to the frontier. Even after so many years, even if his temperament has been rounded by the world, when the real stakes are at stake, his nature is inevitable It will still be exposed." Wei Yin stood beside Ling Wuzheng and smiled lightly.

"Xin thinks that Wei Guogong's movements are worth pondering compared to King Shun's aggressive advances." Shang Xin caressed Daxian who was dozing off on his lap, with a playful smile on his lips.

After calling Tanma and questioning him in detail, he turned to look at Ling Wuzheng and Wei Yin.

"Obviously the second child was not left as a backup, otherwise there would not be only 8000 people around him. Obviously he did not agree to enter the city, otherwise he would not stay put with his own guards. But he should be firm Wei Guogong, who unswervingly supported the second child, took almost all the Nanyun army and ran away with King Shun, and left the second child alone outside the city, what does this mean?"

"Duke Wei changed to King Shun?" If so, it would be more surprising than King Shun actually jumped into Duan Zhenghong's trap.

"I think Nan Yunjun and Shun Wangjun are trying to rescue their master in and out of the city at this moment, but the second child is staying there alone and makes people look pitiful. Why don't we take him to our camp now? Come here." Shang Xin suddenly made a very bold suggestion.

And when he put forward this suggestion, Wei Yin and Ling Wuzheng clapped their hands and agreed after a brief moment of stupefaction. The second prince, who is a threat to Shang Xin, is in control first, and there will be no suspense in the battle for the throne after that.

Now is a godsend opportunity, don't let it go~!

But Shang Xin who made this suggestion exchanged a look with Daxian that only the two of them could understand—this time, he will never let that old ghost go!
