Records of the King of Xin'an County

In the deep night, the sound of killing suddenly erupted, waking countless Chang'an people out of their sleep.Except for a very small number of people who already knew the inside story and those with keen eyesight, the vast majority of the people have no idea what happened, and they are at a loss.In particular, Zhulifang in the south of Daming Palace is where high-ranking officials and nobles gather, and they are all high-ranking officials and nobles in purple uniforms at every turn.They almost instinctively thought of words such as "force the palace" and "rebellion", and couldn't help feeling anxious and panicked.

Not to mention who actually dared to take advantage of Chang'an City's empty defenses to coerce the palace to seek rebellion - the saint is far away in Taiyuan Mansion, what's the use of "coercing the palace"? What is the benefit of "conspiracy"?

Not to mention the injustice of the name, if King Yong'an and Jian Guogong led elite soldiers and strong generals to fight back, how many soldiers and horses would it take to defend the huge Chang'an City?Or, this person had colluded with the King of Hejian for a long time, and the conspiracy was so great that he had no fear of the hundreds of thousands of troops thousands of miles away?After all, the army is defending against foreign enemies and counterinsurgency, maybe it will be able to come back in one piece...

Under the eager orders of the masters, the servants climbed onto the wall of their own house one after another, watching with their heads poking around.In the distance, bursts of flames flew past outside the square wall, and arrows rained densely across the night sky, followed by screams and cries of pain. The strong smell of blood seemed to be smelt hundreds of meters away.People who have never experienced such a scene were all stunned.

When they finally came to their senses, they heard the Marquis of Wu shouting along the street while beating the gong: "Jiangxia Junwang hijacked King Qi to plot rebellion and intended to attack Daming Palace! After the plot was revealed, he killed King Qi and was about to Escape from Chang'an!! At this very moment, the curfew will be strictly enforced! Tomorrow, the whole city will be put on guard and the remnants of rebellion will be searched! No one is allowed to go out and walk on the street, or they will be regarded as affiliated with the rebel party!! Beheaded according to the wheel of crime!!"

Zhulifang fell into silence, only Wuhou's voice echoed over and over again.The shouts of killing are sometimes near and sometimes far away, and the screams of misery continue, and the battle is obviously extremely fierce.Many people temporarily led the whole family to worship Buddha and burn incense, praying for the blessing of Buddha, so that they should not be involved in the disaster of blood and light.Some people even wondered secretly, who stopped Jiangxia County King's treasonous act--until now, they still find it hard to believe that the pale and weak young county king is so ambitious--the same as Hejian County King By the way, he looked almost non-threatening.

Under the pursuit of the imposing court soldiers and generals, the panic-stricken Jiangxia County King finally couldn't care about other things, and instinctively fled to the back route he arranged for himself.Not long after, Li Hui heard the report from the messengers: "Chunming Gate! Ni Wang rushed to Chunming Gate!!" Chunming Gate is the east gate of Chang'an City, and outside the gate are the Baqiao, the farewell pavilion and the post house, etc. It can be said to be one of the most important gateways of Chang'an City.

His expression could not help but froze slightly: Unexpectedly, such an important portal was unknowingly controlled by Prince Jiangxia.If these people turned to rebellion when the war was raging to attack and defend Chang'an City, it was undoubtedly very likely to deal a fatal blow to the imperial soldiers.Moreover, this also made him can't help but think a little more - besides Chunming Gate, are there other city gates that have been controlled by King Jiangxia and his subordinates?All traitors must be completely eradicated from the capital!

Therefore, he made a decisive decision: "Let's see if the Chunming Gate will be opened. Once it is opened, immediately detain the city gate military officer and all soldiers! Anyone who resists will be punished as treason and killed immediately!! Drive the rebels as much as possible and move on , let’s see which city gate they can go to!! If they have nowhere to go, and they jump over the wall in a hurry, let them go out of Beijing first!”

If the Jiangxia County King ignored the fight, his well-trained moves would most likely cause heavy casualties to the sixteen guards.It would be better to let them out of Chang'an first, continue to defend with the help of the city wall, and wait for Duke E to return to help the siege, and win at the least cost.Otherwise, the combat experience of the soldiers is very different, and the victory or defeat may be reversed after a long period of close combat.Moreover, after all, Chang'an is a capital city with a population of one million. Fighting in the city is very easy to implicate innocent people, causing turmoil in people's hearts, and it is inconvenient to appease.

There was a burst of killing, and the two sides fought bloody rivers near the Chunming Gate.The rebel army led by King Jiangxia had to attack the soldiers guarding the city gate, and then guard against the pursuers. After a short while, hundreds of people fell down in the rain of arrows.And at this moment, they finally killed the dozens of soldiers guarding the city gate, and the heavy city gate was suddenly opened inch by inch.

King Jiangxia's eyes brightened immediately, and he shouted loudly: "Boys! Get out!!"

However, the next moment, arrows rained down from the chasing soldiers, firmly suppressing the rebels who were about to open the city gate.There are also quite a few brave and fearless men who rushed straight up, slashing and killing with their knives, and forced the rebels back.The heavy gate of the city was closed suddenly, and in an instant, all hope of life turned into despair of death.

Prince Jiangxia's eyes were red, and he looked back fiercely and gouged Li Hui out.If his gaze could turn into substance, the Prince of Xin'an would have already been riddled with sharp arrows.However, Li Hui was still as calm as before, he drew his bow and shot an arrow, and once again shot directly at the only target that was tightly guarded by his cronies! !

The arrow almost pierced Duke Jiangxia's shoulder blade, causing him such pain that he almost fell off his horse.If it wasn't for the cronies around him to quickly support him, I'm afraid he will be trampled into mud by the startled horse in the next moment! !

"Let's go!" Jiangxia County King immediately pulled his horse and left without hesitating.

The rebels who surrounded him fought and marched, left the battlefield in an orderly manner, and withdrew to the south.Li Hui ordered the cavalry to continue the pursuit, while the infantry stayed temporarily to clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, and tie up the prisoners of war. The students all nervously and silently treated and bandaged the wounded.

Li Hui glanced around, sighed from the bottom of his heart, and after motivating everyone, he led the remaining infantry and rushed over.At this time, Princess Changning came up with her royal horse, and said softly: "The imperial doctor of the Shangyao Bureau rescued him, and finally he was hanged. As long as he can survive a day and a night, he will be fine when he wakes up."

"Yue Niang, it's not your fault. He made a wrong choice, so he must take responsibility, that's all."

"...Don't worry, brother, I'm just a little bit emotional. No matter what, he is my brother. I clearly remember how much hope my grandfather had for him when I was young. Later he Gradually growing crookedly, Grandpa is so disappointed. Looking at it now, he is not stupid to the bone, and there is still some hope for salvation."

Li Hui was silent for a moment: "Although I have ordered Marquis Wu to declare that the king of Jiangxia kidnapped the king of Qi to seek rebellion. But you and I are very clear about the facts. No one can tell whether the resentment and ambition in King Qi's heart will continue in the future. Therefore, the whole story of this matter must be known to all uncles and aunts."

"..." Princess Changning nodded lightly, "Brother's concerns, I understand. It's the most appropriate way to think about the younger brother in my womb." Otherwise, they would not have known that King Qi secretly had a relationship with Jiang Xia. The county king had a close relationship, but he just watched silently and didn't interfere at all.

In fact, she may not be uneasy - what if the mother is not a younger brother, but a younger sister in her womb, so what should I do?Aunt is getting older, can she still give birth to a prince?If one had to adopt a concubine to be raised as a legitimate son, how bloody would it be in the future?And in these cases, as long as King Qi makes an unforgivable mistake, everything will be solved.After all, the king of Shu didn't have the guts to fight for the throne, and the fourth prince's status was embarrassing. Whoever gave birth to the fifth prince would become A Niang's child.

When the two cousins ​​rushed to the next city gate, Yanxing Gate, the battle was in full swing.Li Hui looked at Jiangxia County Wang Zhuangruo out of control, and made a gesture to let them go.Sure enough, seeing the city gate slowly opening, the Prince of Jiangxia ran away with the rebels in a hurry.The soldiers of the imperial court climbed up the city wall and shot another burst of arrows, leaving hundreds of corpses of traitors behind. Fang quietly watched them set up camp about [-] miles away from Chang'an City.

At this time, it was almost dawn, Li Hui signaled the soldiers to light a beacon near Qujiang Pond, and set out to help Qin An, King Jing and other elders clean up the remnants of King Jiangxia.Needless to say, the military officers of Chunming Gate and Yanxing Gate were all detained and tortured. The remaining general of the Jinwu Guard has also been arrested, and all the Marquis Wu involved were imprisoned.In addition, whoever helped to take in Jiangxia Junwang's trilogy, there are neighbors who can testify, and they all judged it as a traitor.

The prisons of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice were overcrowded, and King Jing volunteered to donate a separate courtyard to detain female relatives.Under the urging and supervision of Qin An, the three divisions of Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Yushitai jointly tried this major treason case and arrested more criminals involved in the case.

Among them, because of the "tonic medicine", many female family members of high-ranking officials and aristocratic families were involved, and the Du family was no exception.However, the king and concubine of Xin'an County did not intercede, and other senior officials, Xungui, did not dare to say more.At this time, there were various news about taking medicine for physical weakness, miscarriage, etc. For a while, no one dared to use any "tonic medicine" anymore.Yuan Sixiniang, who was admired by everyone before, has now become an enemy that everyone can't wait to get rid of.

Central Beijing was busy for a whole day and night, and the Prince of Jiangxia County outside Beijing was not idle, but looted all the food and grass in the nearby villages.The common people regarded them as robbers and fled after hearing the news. They all dragged their families and fled to the depths of Nanshan to seek refuge.They originally wanted to recruit strong men to supplement their troops, but what they faced was empty Zhuangzi.Many rich and noble manors near Nanshan and Lishan also took in many homeless villagers.The parts are heavily guarded, and anyone who approaches without reason will be shot.

Of course, the king of Jiangxia County could not compromise his many years of training in order to force recruits, so he had to return to the camp and make another plan.At this time, he finally waited for more than a thousand people who came to support.Thinking of thousands of soldiers on the way and about to meet up outside Beijing, he couldn't help but feel refreshed—he finally had a leisurely mood. count.

"You all say that I'm a rebel, so it's possible that you really don't want to know what King Jing has done?"

"I really don't want to know, what is the king of Xin'an secretly planning?"

"Tsk tsk, I've found a lot of good news recently, and I want to share it with the princes in the DPRK and China."
