The prince's wedding blind box is very sweet

Chapter 77 Conspiracy to usurp the throne

Gu Muchen, who was far away in Heishui City in the northwest, received a secret letter from Qianyuan Pavilion a few days ago. He already knew that the National Division united with foreign races to plot rebellion.

The national division privately communicated with Nanyang and sent troops to contain the Jiangnan navy; colluded with foreigners in southern Xinjiang and used [-] refugees pretending to be an uprising army to hold back the defenders of the main city of Wu'an County; it was also expected that the emperor would dispatch the defenders of the imperial city to Banyang to encircle and suppress The rebel army caused the guards of the imperial city to be lax; at the critical moment, a war broke out in the northwest, which forced Gu Muchen to ask for an order to go out...

All of this is for the purpose of weakening the troops in the imperial city and creating a situation of isolation and helplessness. At that time, if the national teacher wants to usurp the throne and force the palace, it will be as easy as picking something out of a pocket.

This was a setup that started a long time ago. I'm afraid that when Gu Muchen went back to get married according to the order, this conspiracy plan had already started.

At that time, the cronies of the National Teacher who were placed in the barracks played a big role this time, causing Heiyun City to almost fall, and [-] soldiers died in battle. The National Teacher was sure that Gu Muchen would not stay in the capital and sit idly by.

The situation in the capital is now grim. He knows that there are 5 private soldiers of the national division in Banyang who have escaped through secret passages, and now nearly [-] people are heading for the imperial city.

Fortunately, Gu Muchen received the news in a timely manner. He was trying to find a way to remedy it, and tried to go back to rescue in time.

Fortunately, those savages are just paper tigers, even if the opponent has 10,000+ people, there is nothing to be afraid of. The reason for the heavy casualties this time is that the bastards of the national division acted as a hindrance and sold the general's feelings to the enemy. Soon after Shuicheng asked Han Li to search for evidence of their collusion with the enemy, he mercilessly killed all these scum.

This move was exciting, and the return of the head coach also boosted morale. In order to commemorate the tens of thousands of soldiers who died, Gu Muchen ordered people to hang the corpses of the state teachers' dog legs on the city wall for three days to comfort the dead soldiers.

Gu Muchen made all the strategic arrangements around the sand table with several generals. He knew how to use people well, and let capable generals take over the important defense of Heishui City.

In the evening, after all the arrangements for the aftermath had been made, Gu Muchen ordered the soldiers himself, took Han Li and the [-] elite soldiers and secretly left Heishui City.

Xiaolin, who was in the Hou's mansion, still learned from the letter sent by the governor of Wu'an to Wu Xuan that there was a war in the south of the Yangtze River. Wu An asked Wu Xuan to stay in the Hou's mansion and not go back.

Some shadow guards in Qianyuan Pavilion were sent by Gu Muchen to protect Xiaolin. Xiaolin asked one of them to go to the south of the Yangtze River to inquire about the situation, and finally found out that it was the Nanyang invasion. Mr. Wu had been fighting the Nanyang army at sea for several days. .

At the same time, news came from an eunuch in the palace that nearly [-] soldiers and horses were already at the foot of the imperial city, fighting with the city defenders.

The most terrifying thing is yet to come. The national teacher brought the leaders of the foreign races to the court, intending to coerce the emperor to order the princes. After hearing this series of shocking news, Xiaolin felt out of his wits and stood there for a long time before saying: "Go, I want to go in." palace!"

"Wait, my lord," Xu Yan was helped out by Sanyue, and said to him with the same serious expression, "I'll go with you."

Thinking of Xiaolin's promise to him, he didn't object. Butler Chen was worried that Xiaolin would enter the palace just like that, and arranged dozens of generals and shadow guards who followed Xiaolin.

The carriage was arranged outside the gate of the mansion, and they planned to enter through the north gate, because the eunuch who came out to inform them said that it was not yet surrounded by enemy troops and it was safe for the time being.

At this moment in the imperial palace, at the moment when the two sides were at war, Chu Ling, the commander of the forbidden army camp, led all the guards in front of the emperor, and confronted the imperial teacher and others under the court.

At this time, the rebels brought by the national division and the enemy troops of foreign tribes had already approached the city, and they fought with the city defenders in front of the city gate, and the battle situation was not optimistic.

The emperor previously transferred more than half of his troops to Banyang, and now there are less than [-] people fighting against the enemy on the city wall.

Just now he knew that before the enemy entered the city, Xiaofeng dispatched 2 people from the Forbidden Army camp to support them. Fortunately, the old Hou Ye Gu Cheng was ordered to lead the troops to fight in person, so those soldiers had the backbone and finally guarded the city gate.

However, more than half of the less than [-] troops have no combat experience, and the ones they faced below the city were all tiger and wolf divisions capable of attacking the city. Under several rounds of bombardment, the defenders on the city were already dead or injured. More than half.

Fortunately, Gu Muchen had the foresight to ask Xiaofeng to smuggle some of the fire oil from the Jiangnan warehouse to the imperial city for storage before going on the expedition. To a great effect.

The artillery fire was raging outside the imperial city, and the battle was fierce. The voice could be heard clearly even by everyone who was also tensely confronting each other inside the imperial palace.

The national teacher Qingyu asked someone to move a stool, and sat in the center of the hall leisurely, looked at the emperor at the top of the hall, and said with a sneer: "Your Majesty, you should be very clear about the situation now, as long as you issue an edict and announce your voluntary abdication , and willing to surrender, we will not kill anyone here."

Xiaoyi snorted coldly, and also sat back on the dragon chair. The majesty from the emperor did not diminish at all. He looked down at the person below and said, "Issuing an edict to abdicate? Who do you want me to abdicate, you?"

At this time, Fanlu, the leader of the Xinling Tribe, strode out, patted his chest, and said in a rough voice in his unfluent Central Plains dialect: "It's me, Fanlu, the little emperor quickly step aside, the emperor asked me to do it!"

As soon as such barbaric and rude words were uttered, the subordinates of the foreign races at the scene began to applaud, making the national teacher frowned in annoyance.

Xiaofeng on the top said angrily: "Bold! How can such a rough and wild man dare to say such wild words here!"

Fanlu looked at the young general, and said dissatisfiedly: "I am the leader of the Xinling tribe, Fanlu, you have never heard of me, ignorant boy?!"

Xiaofeng said disdainfully, "I've heard of sweet potato, but it seems to be a sweet potato."

Xiaoyi almost couldn't hold back his laughter at these words, and seeing those guards of the forbidden army laughing, Fan Lu knew that they were laughing at him, and was so angry that he blushed and was about to come up and strike directly.

The national teacher got up and stopped the person, returned to the topic just now and said: "Your Majesty is right, it is me who passed it on."

These words made Pan Lu's eyes widen, and everyone including the foreigners present looked at each other in blank dismay. Pan Lu's younger brother, Fan Yu, came up to reason and said, "National Teacher, you didn't say that before, you didn't mean to let my brother..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt a pain in his chest, and when he looked down, he saw the dagger with the hilt stuck in his chest. After the national teacher drew out the dagger, he wiped the blade slowly with a handkerchief and said, "You Help idiots, do you believe me when I lie to you?"

Seeing that his younger brother fell to the ground and died, Fanlu roared and wanted to rush forward, but he was easily wiped off his neck by the subordinates of the national teacher, and then he heard the sound of sharp knives piercing his skin one after another, and a large number of those foreigners fell down. Only the national teacher is left.

The national teacher sat back in his chair and said as if nothing had happened: "Your Majesty, I have no patience. I will draw up an edict now, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee that I will do bloodbath."

The sudden change made all the officials turn pale with fright, and some old officials were scared to pee on the spot when they heard this, knowing that the national teacher would definitely do it, so they all looked at the dragon chair sitting in the court the emperor.

"You still want to be the emperor, are you just dreaming?"

Suddenly there was a clear voice coming from the back of the hall. Everyone looked around and saw a man in a red dress and a brocade suit coming out, followed by a group of unidentified guards, and a young man with a white cloth on his eyes .

The emperor at the head of the Xiaolin court saluted the emperor and ministers. When he looked up at the emperor, he gave him a peaceful look, and then said to the man below: "The reason why the national teacher has disturbed the imperial court and threatened the imperial power all these years is to avenge the clansmen. Xuehen, it seems that you still can't resist the temptation of power, do you have the ambition to seek the king and steal the country?"

Those words made everyone present feel confused, but the national teacher's face changed slightly, he looked at Xiaolin over there, and said: "It seems that the prince knows a lot about me."

When Xiaolin came, he heard Xu Yan's general speech, and he had roughly sorted out the cause and effect of the matter. He looked at Xu Yan over there, and smiled at the national teacher: "It's not my king who knows you, but someone who knows you in the past." You know what you have committed, are you interested in listening to it?"

The national teacher also looked at the blindfolded man, and saw that Xu Yan took off the white cloth on his face. Although the two blind eyes only left scars in groups, they still looked a little shocking.

Seeing that face, the national teacher immediately became gloomy.

Xu Yan seemed to have returned to his original voice, and said in a deep voice: "Master Qingyu, do you still recognize me? Or should I call you Murong Heng?"

Qing Yu stared at that person, and said coldly: "You are Xiaoyan? Hehe, so you are still alive, the fourth prince is really lucky."

As soon as these words came out, except for Xiao Lin who remained calm, everyone else was in an uproar and began to discuss.

"This, this, this is the Fourth Prince Xiaoyan?"

"Didn't he be executed for treason and usurpation in the previous dynasty?"

"What's going on here? He didn't die and he came back..."

Xiao Yan said loudly: "That's right, I am Xiao Yan, the fourth prince of the former dynasty. I will appear here today to vindicate the so-called "rebellion and usurpation" at that time."

Everyone was shocked and brought their curiosity to a climax, but the national teacher below did not change his face.

The emperor Xiaoyan bowed his hands and said: "Today, I will reveal the truth of this matter in front of the emperor and all the officials. I also hope that the emperor can be the master for my ministers and be a witness."

Xiao Yi nodded to the person and said: "Uncle Si Huang can state as much as he wants, if there is any grievance, I will definitely uphold justice for you."

Xiao Yan said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After receiving the permission, Xiaoyan recounted the cause of the previous dynasty's rebellion...

That year Xiaoyan was still a prince. At that time, the first prince was canonized as the crown prince, and he was already the candidate for the next crown prince. At that time, Xiaoyan's father, the emperor, was not in good health and was sick every day, so the prince began to handle the government affairs.

At that time, the national teacher was deeply favored by the Emperor Taizu. On the night of the palace change, Xiaoyan happened to pass by the imperial study when he saw the palace caught fire. There was thick smoke in the palace and there were sounds of killing outside.

At that time the prince was still in the imperial study, he rushed in to save people without thinking, but met a guard who was hacked to death by an assassin and gave him a box, telling him to run away with his things.

Xiaoyan was terrified at the time, knowing that he stumbled and ran to the courtyard with the box in his arms, and was surrounded by a group of men in black clothes of unknown origin. .

Later, the rebellion of the fourth prince spread to the whole city. When he was imprisoned in the sky prison and was about to be executed, Xiaoyan got the help of his concubine's relatives and feigned death on the day of execution to escape, but in the end he was discovered by the national teacher and was almost murdered. silence.

The national teacher's knife was smeared with poison, and it was very dark in the wilderness that night, so the national teacher's knife cut Xiaoyan's eyes. He hissed and screamed, and finally fell into the cliff accidentally.

Xiaoyan gritted her teeth and said, "All these years, I have been living on my last breath, just hoping that one day I can wash away my grievances and see you, a villain, be punished!"

After listening to the cause and effect, many people gasped. If the national teacher had not fallen, no one would have believed Xiaoyan's one-sided words. But after knowing the various evil deeds that the national teacher has done, they are convinced of these things.

The national teacher did not refute, but suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, like a madman, he said: "The fourth prince actually thinks this is wronged, then let me ask you, more than 100 lives of the Murong family who were massacred by you back then , Are they wronged?"

Seeing that Xiaoyan's expression flickered, and his figure was a little unstable, thinking of this, the national teacher sneered, and looked around the crowd with ironic eyes: "Back then, your Emperor Taizu launched a military campaign and slaughtered neighbors all over the world. When you were here, have you ever thought about how cruel that stupid king is?"

"Then let me tell you, it was him, your Fourth Prince, who led troops to invade our Xinling tribe. They burned, killed and looted, even the old and weak, women and children, even our Murong family..."

The national teacher took a deep breath, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at Xiaoyan full of hatred: "It's you who broke into my house with those beasts, and they came in to snatch property, and even killed my unarmed clansmen, then Helping the beast eat, drink, and have fun at the house. Humiliate the female relatives, even my underage brother..."

When it came to the end, the national teacher looked at the emperor in the high hall over there, with a stern look in his eyes: "Even my younger brother was tortured to death in public, I can only watch him tearing his heart and crying, but I can't help it." Save him... At that time, I swear, I will let your Xiao family's royal family pay for this deep blood feud with blood!"

Hearing the words of the national teacher, the emperor was filled with horror, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. After all, it was his own country that invaded other people first and committed the heinous crime.

At this moment, Xiao Yan said: "Father sent me to supervise the army back then, but he didn't have the right to dispatch troops. I am also responsible for what happened."

The national teacher looked at Xiaoyan like a poisonous snake.
