Records of the King of Xin'an County

On March 21, the sixth year of Zongzhang, the sixteen guards of the capital under the leadership of Duke Chi Qing of the State of E rushed out of Beijing to escort Taiyuan Mansion in order to stabilize the already fluctuating hearts of the people in the capital.Just two days later, in the middle of the night on March 23rd, when all the people in the capital were falling asleep, in the seemingly peaceful Jiangxia County Prince's Mansion, thousands of trilogy quietly gathered.

In the light of the beating fire, the Jiangxia County King standing on the steps of the main hall looked down at his cronies and subordinates condescendingly, with a little blood on his pale face, he raised his glass of wine and shouted: "Drink victory!! "

A group of black and big men silently held up the wine jars, raised their heads to drink, and then smashed the wine jars to the ground one after another, laughing at each other.Everyone's eyes are red, their faces are full of murderous intent, and their emotions are passionate.King Jiangxia watched them rush out of the mansion with torches in their hands, and headed for the Daming Palace in the north. He could not help but raise the corners of his lips slightly, looked at the trembling young man beside him, and said gently: "What? Dalang, Success or failure depends on tonight, aren't you afraid?"

The young man barely concealed his hesitation and fright, and muttered, "I just... just didn't expect that clan brother..."

"You actually used such a drastic method?" Jun Wang Jiangxia continued on his behalf, with a half-smile, "Could it be that you think it's so easy to ascend to the position of Prince of the Eastern Palace, or even the rank of the Ninth Five-Year Lord?" Is it enough? Just a few private complaints are enough? The sage will see your goodness and remember that you are his eldest son? You should be made the heir apparent?"

Young man, no, maybe he should be called King Qi, looking at the clan brother in front of him with extremely complicated eyes.He is not a complete fool—even if he was completely dazzled by resentment and jealousy before, and made all kinds of unwise choices, until now, he has finally seen the true face of this person.

He was just an excuse for the King of Jiangxia to rebel against him.Only in his name can it be called justifiable.Otherwise, the king of Jiangxia, a distant branch of the imperial family, has no serious job vacancies, so how can he dare to besiege the Daming Palace where Empress Du is?If he failed, then as the "main envoy", he would also die without a place to die; if he succeeded, then he could only be a puppet for a few months, and his end would be equally miserable.

At this moment, King Qi suddenly thought of many people.Far away in Taiyuan Mansion, he has long been disappointed with him. It is said that his father is "unknown"; The aunt in the middle of the book; the high-spirited, much-loved elder sister, Princess Changning; the timid and timid, calm and peaceful younger brother, the King of Shu, who is always very good at controlling things...

If these relatives learned of the wrong things he did, how would they react?

King Qi didn't dare to think about it, and he couldn't think about it.But he couldn't be used to death by him, as Prince Jiangxia wanted.He indeed has the greedy blood of the Yang family, and he mistrusted the wrong person.But his surname is Li, he is the son of a sage, with a majestic golden branch and jade leaves, how can he live so uselessly?Can even a prince of a remote clan clan bully him? !

King Jiangxia didn't care about King Qi's silence.In his opinion, this greedy young man has no choice but to follow him until he dies silently.So, he said with a smile: "I'm not planning for you? Your aunt is cruel. Let's see how she deals with Concubine Yuan Shu who is pregnant with a dragon heir? Haven't you come to your senses yet? You are the eldest son of a concubine, and you are also hindering her." For the sake of the unborn fifth prince in her womb, she will definitely get rid of you at all costs. You are doing this because you only want to protect yourself. Don't worry, neither the sage nor the late emperor will blame you."

"...Clan brother, what should I do next?" After a moment of silence, Qi Wangfang asked in a low voice.

"Follow me." Duke Jiangxia brought him outside the palace.The two got on their horses, and hundreds of pieces of torches immediately gathered around them.Before and after nearly a thousand people came to the gate of Lifang, Wuhou in the workshop not only turned a blind eye, but even opened the gate for them.

All the way to the north, along the way, there were many big men of unknown origin pouring out from many mile squares.Gradually gathering together, there are always three or four thousand people in all kinds of places.King Qi was horrified, and couldn't help looking worriedly at the Daming Palace lying in the northeast of Chang'an City like a giant beast.The situation was even more severe than he had imagined. It was obvious that at least one general of the Jinwu Guard had been controlled by King Jiangxia.Otherwise, he could not have gathered so many rebels quietly.

How many of the other Weifu soldiers who stayed in the capital fell to King Jiangxia? !Can the guards caught off guard guard the Daming Palace?

Seeing that the Daming Palace was close at hand, Duke Jiangxia suddenly ordered everyone to stop.Everyone was well-trained and stopped in place, and changed into a battle formation.But he squinted his eyes and looked, under the dim light, there was no one beside the closed palace gate.

However, the next moment, the torches gradually lit up on the palace wall, like a long dragon opened its eyes softly, and opened its teeth and claws towards the group of rebels.On the Danfeng gate of the palace gate, surrounded by guards, were Li Hui, King of Xin'an County, and Princess Changning, both in uniform.

Apparently, Daming Palace had already made preparations, as if they expected that there would be chaos in the past few days.But at this moment, the Prince of Jiangxia couldn't allow himself to think about who leaked the news, he immediately raised his whip, pointed at the gate of the palace, and said in a loud voice: "Du's wicked woman, who is jealous and murderous, murders the emperor's heir, is unworthy of being the mother of the country! The saint is in danger in Taiyuan Mansion, she doesn't want to share the worries of the saint, but conspires against the throne, which is really deplorable!! Today I will open my eyes for the eldest son of the saint, King Qi, and help him ascend to the crown prince!! If there is Opponents are all traitors of the Du family, and their crimes should be punished!!"

"You should be punished for your crime! You should be punished!!" A group of big men shouted immediately afterward, amplifying their prestige for him with a voice that was overwhelming.

When the shouting stopped for a while, Li Hui's face did not change at all, and he said coldly: "What a sharp mouth that turns right and wrong into black and white!! Who killed the dragon heir in Concubine Yuan Shu's belly? I'm afraid no one is better than Jiangxia Junwang!" You know better! Those women in Beijing who have used the tonic can all testify for Concubine Yuan Shu! And you, Prince Jiangxia, not only murdered the dragon's heir, slandered your aunt, but also used this to start a rebellion, committing the most heinous crime! Unforgivable! Yue Niang and I will clean up the traitors for our uncles and aunts today, and kill them all!!"

"Kill them all! Kill them!!" The prison guards also shouted without showing any weakness. In terms of momentum, they did not lose at all to the rebels who were almost three times their size.

At this time, Duke Jiangxia seemed to hear some unusual noises.After listening carefully, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked in disbelief at the two Lifangs that suddenly opened behind him—thousands of people suddenly poured out from Guangzhaifang and Yishanfang, which were facing Daming Palace, half of them were The other half of the remaining soldiers of the sixteen guards in Beijing were all dressed up as bodyguards, and the leaders were Wu Guogong Qin An, King Jing, and King Pu Li Tai! !

The situation suddenly reversed, and the Jiangxia County King lost his numerical advantage.However, he was not afraid, but raised his eyebrows with a smile and said: "Duke Wu really thinks that the two around him are trustworthy? King Pu, he is the second son of Queen Qin. When it comes to the desire for the throne, I'm afraid It has never been extinguished. If there is a chance, why would King Pu’s lineage not want to go further? As for His Royal Highness King Jing — heh.”

He laughed meaningfully, obviously there was something in his words.As he expected, Wu Guogong Qin An's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but glance at King Jing and King Pu next to him.King Jing stared at him fiercely, as if drawing a bow and shooting an arrow, but King Pu Li Tai couldn't help but argue: "Uncle must not fall for his tricks! Jiang Xia! Who do you think?" Like you, Xiao wants something that doesn’t belong to him?! Hey, there’s also you, Dalang!! We really misjudged you!!”

King Qi couldn't help leaning forward, opening his mouth to speak.King Jiangxia, however, quickly picked him up on his horse, and secretly put the barrier knife on his waist: "King Pu's words are wrong. What do you mean by 'Xiao Xiang's thing that doesn't belong to me'? Who knows that Du's belly is a man Is it a woman? If something happens to the sage, the one who is most suitable to inherit Guozuo is His Royal Highness Qi Wang? Could it be that you have other plans—want to succeed yourself?!"

"A bunch of nonsense!!" Princess Changning was furious, and pointed her bow and arrow at him, "The thief is hateful! How dare you disrespect grandpa!! It shows how unbearably dark your thoughts are!! Da Lang! What a shame! Could it be that you think so too?! You are also looking forward to Grandpa... so that you can become the emperor yourself?! Absurd!! It is too absurd!!"

King Qi felt the cold barrier knife on his waist, closed his eyes, and shouted: "Sister! He forced me!! He wants to plot rebellion and use me as an excuse! Sister, don't believe him!! "After that, he suddenly felt a coldness in his abdomen, as if an ice edge passed through his body.The severe pain even made his mind go blank for a moment - he looked down unsteadily, and the blood-stained tip of the knife was already exposed on his stomach.

Under the eyes of everyone, King Qi fell off his horse with blood dripping from his abdomen, lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Prince Jiangxia's face remained unchanged, and he shouted: "The Du family sent someone to assassinate King Qi to avenge King Qi!!" The big men around him also seemed to have forgotten the moment just now, shouting "revenge" in unison, as if Like hungry wolves, they pounced on the Buqu guards who surrounded them behind them—compared with the prison guards standing on the palace wall and other palace soldiers, these Buqu guards didn't seem to have received much training, and they were nothing to be afraid of.

Such a brazen and shameless person has never been seen before!

For a moment, both King Jing and Li Tai were stunned, not knowing how to react.As a real civil servant, he was always inaccurate in drawing bows and arrows, and Qin An, who was so fat that he couldn't move at all, quickly shouted, telling them to go back to Guangzhaifang to take shelter temporarily, and they must not be taken hostage by Prince Jiangxia.

Just when Jiangxia County King led the people to rush towards Li Tai and the others, Li Hui's arrows had already roared towards them.Duke Jiangxia only felt a chill in his ears, and an arrow passed through his right ear and scratched his face.He cried out in pain, and another arrow followed, hitting him in the arm.In a moment, another arrow arrived in an instant.If it wasn't for the guards around him who bravely fell behind him and used their bodies to block the arrows for him, I'm afraid this time it would have passed through his heart.

"Medium!!" The prison guards cheered loudly, as if inspired, they sent out a rain of arrows.

Li Hui on the Danfeng gate kept staring at the king of Jiangxia County, using his arrow skills to make him dodge in a panic, and couldn't care less about arresting Li Tai and others.The battle situation was obviously unfavorable, Jiangxia County King covered his arrow wound, gritted his teeth secretly, and signaled his subordinates to break out of the siege with him.

Li Hui also made a gesture to let the government soldiers and tributaries make way without any trace, forcing Jiangxia County King to flee in a panic.The crowd chased after them loudly, and the situation changed completely—the flock of sheep, which seemed weak just now, turned into a pack of wolves hunting prey in an instant; while the pack of ferocious wolves just now had to keep running with their tails between their legs.
