"Elder-in-law" migraine

In the 22nd year of Jingyan, Xibang, the uncle of the state, suddenly attacked and seriously injured Emperor Jingyan at a banquet, and then led the southern army to rebel. Emperor Jingyan died of serious injuries at the age of 45.The third prince, Yiwang Duan Yixian, was appointed the new emperor by decree, the former prince Duan Yijie was imprisoned, and the former empress Gongxi was imprisoned in the cold palace.

The siege of the southern army, whether it was the funeral of Emperor Jingyan or the enthronement of Duan Yixian, could not be carried out according to the etiquette.Duan Yixian could only order that everyone in the inner palace, including the officials, concubines, and servants, should all obey plain food and fast.When the reinforcements arrive, eliminate the rebels, and then hold a funeral for Emperor Jingyan according to the etiquette.

Duan Yixian was wearing a plain robe, standing on the tower of Zhuque Gate, Fusheng had been away from Beijing for nearly a month, if the reinforcements did not arrive, even if the rebels did not attack the city gate, everyone in the inner palace would be trapped to death.He has been told since he was a teenager that this throne belongs to him, and he must take it back with his own hands.He sacrificed too much for it by any means, and finally one day, he got this position, stood on this tower, but felt infinitely lonely.

Because of this throne, the father passed away, and the mother and concubine locked herself in the Buddhist temple all day long and let her go away. Even the nominal wife was trapped in the city and guarded by the rebels. He won the world by himself. , what's the point?

As the night deepened, the city gate guard came forward and bowed slightly, "Your Highness, it's late at night, and your injury has not healed yet. For the sake of the overall situation, you should go back and rest. If there is any news, the subordinates must upload it immediately." .”

Duan Yixian stood for a while, and finally turned around, "Forget it, you have worked hard, I will come back tomorrow." Then, he turned and went down the tower.Before he got down to the bottom floor, he suddenly heard a commotion from the tower behind him. He was taken aback for a moment, turned around and went up the tower, and saw everyone on the tower looking down. Looking along, he saw a figure passing through With the power of the rope, he climbed up the city tower, and there were rebels downstairs shooting arrows at him with bows.

Using the torch, Duan Yixian recognized the man as Fusheng, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered, "Archer, take cover."

The archers immediately stepped forward and shot and killed the pursuers behind Fusheng one after another. Fusheng looked back and heaved a sigh of relief. A soldier stepped forward to pull the rope and pulled Fusheng up.

Fu Sheng half-kneeled on the ground, gasping for breath, running around for days, finding ways to sneak into the city, and being chased by the pursuers made him almost exhausted.Duan Yixian stood quietly in front of him and waited for him to calm down. Fusheng supported the ground with one hand. After a long time, he felt some strength. He raised his head to meet Duan Yixian's gaze. He was taken aback, "Master, I don't know if it's you."

Duan Yixian bent down and pulled Fu Sheng up, patted him on the shoulder, and said softly, "You've worked hard for days."

Fu Sheng shook his head with a smile, "Fortunately, my subordinates traveled fast, and we can still make it in time. His Royal Highness King Ping'an has dispatched the Yandi army with a token, and General Li stayed behind to guard against Turkic looting. King Ping'an personally led the army. On the outskirts of Beijing, order your subordinates to report safety first, and take advantage of the relaxation of the rebel army's defenses in the morning, and immediately attack the city, the master and the Shenwu army just wait for the army to enter the city."

The guards on the city wall were all relieved when they heard this, Duan Yixian nodded lightly, and murmured, "He has worked hard." Then, he raised his head, looked at the guards on the city wall, and said loudly, " Soldiers, today I will work hard for another night, and tomorrow the army will enter the city and wipe out the rebels, and I will reward each of you for your meritorious service." After saying this, he took Fusheng down the tower.

In the dead of night, on the outskirts of Beijing, a serious team came towards the capital. Ren Zhi rode Wuzhi at the front of the team. He saw the city gate from a distance, reined in his horse, and the lieutenant followed. With a gesture, the entire army stopped.

Ren Zhi turned back and ordered, "Now according to the plan, divide into several teams and surround all the gates of the city. After my order, the other eight gates except Qingming Gate, Zhicheng Gate, Chucheng Gate and Anmen will launch a feint attack at the same time. Pay attention It's just a test, don't hurt your life, and when the rebels fall into panic and ignore them, the other four gates will immediately attack the city."

The capital of the Zheng'an Dynasty was built on the basis of the capital of the former Liang Kingdom. Each city wall has three gates, a total of twelve gates. Ren ordered a feint attack on the other eight gates to confuse the enemy's attention and make them unable to separate themselves. The other four launched a general attack.

General Li has been stationed in Yandi for nearly ten years. His troops have strict military discipline, and his soldiers are good at fighting. They have many years of experience in fighting Turks. Even if they are handed over to Ren Zhi, who has never led an army, it is enough to deal with the city's main task of guarding all year round. Few conflicting Confederates.

Yin time.A burst of fireworks suddenly rose into the sky, and the originally silent city gate suddenly became noisy, and the sound of killing continued.

Ren Zhi stood quietly not far away, watching a guard running around in a panic on the top of the city tower, slightly bent his lips, drew an arrow from behind and put it on the bow, drew the bow fully, and the feathered arrow flew away Go, shoot straight into the guard's left chest, the guard didn't have time to react, so he fell down limply.

Let him put down his bow, turned around and ordered, "It's now, attack the city."

It was the cruelest battle that the Southern Army members had encountered in their lives. The opponents carried the most convenient siege equipment, and each opponent was highly skilled in martial arts and rich in experience. In addition to shooting arrows down on the towers, they resisted the city with all their might. door, there is no other choice.

But within an hour, the Qingming Gate was the first to report. The rebels couldn't resist, and the army had already entered the city.Ren Zhi reached out and stroked Wuzhi's mane, "The team that attacked Qingmingmen after the battle, from top to bottom, including the soldiers who died in battle, will be given the greatest rewards. Let's go into the city."

Ren Zhi turned his horse's head, led the lieutenant and several guards by his side and entered the city through the Qingming Gate.The sky is getting brighter, but the doors of the people in the city are still closed. Occasionally, someone will secretly open a gap in the window to listen to the situation outside.

A soldier quickly ran over and whispered something in the lieutenant's ear, and the lieutenant looked up at Ren Zhi, "Your Highness, Gong Xibang fled into Prince Yi's mansion with a small group of rebels. The soldiers are afraid of hurting the princess and the young master." His life is safe, and he dare not act rashly, so he came here to ask for instructions.

Ren Zhi frowned tightly, "First enclose Prince Yi's mansion, and watch every move of the rebels. Remember, don't act rashly. I will immediately enter the palace to ask King Yi for instructions. After all, it is his family, and I also Don’t dare to make any decisions for him.”

The deputy general led the order, and Ren Zhi ordered other soldiers to search the city, and no remnants of the rebels were allowed to remain.Then he took the rest of the people towards the imperial city.

Duan Yixian was already waiting on the tower, saw Ren Zhi approaching with a small group of people from a distance, turned around and went down the tower, the gate was wide open, Duan Yixian stood at the gate with Fu Sheng and a few guards, Ren Zhi got off his horse and stood on one knee Kneeling down, "My brother came late to rescue me, I hope the emperor will forgive me."

Duan Yixian was just startled, stepped forward a few steps, and pulled Ren Zhi up, "I'm waiting for you to come back."

Ren Zhi glanced over Duan Yixian, bit his lower lip, "Your injury..."

Duan Yixian shook his head, "My injury is fine, you are not injured, are you?"

Ren Zhi glanced back at the soldiers behind him, and said in a low voice, "Gong Xibang has fled into Prince Yi's mansion. I have already ordered people to surround the mansion, so I dare not act rashly. I think you should go and have a look in person. If this happens, Whatever the situation, only you can make the decision."

Duan Yixian sighed, turned around and gave some instructions, got on the horse led by the guards, and followed Ren Zhi to the Yiwang Mansion.

Prince Yi's mansion was surrounded like an iron barrel, there was no other way but to surround it.Emperor Jingyan passed away, and King Yi Duan Yixian became the new emperor, who could ascend the throne only after the rebels were eliminated.Then the two trapped in Prince Yi's mansion are very likely to become the future queen and prince. No one dares to give any order at the risk of killing the queen and prince. They can only wait for Duan Yixian's arrival.

It was very quiet in Prince Yi's mansion, without any sound, Duan Yixian stood at the gate and looked at it for a while, then turned around and asked, "Did any sound come from inside just now?"

"No, when the rebels fled into the mansion, they closed the door tightly, and there was no sound after that." A young general who was waiting at the side hastily reported.

"Let's go in." Duan Yixian said lightly, "There is a dark room in the mansion, and my bodyguards. Everyone in the mansion should be hiding for the time being, and there will be no danger."

The young general hesitated for a moment and turned his gaze to Ren Zhi, who nodded, "Since Brother Huang said so, there is no problem, let's attack."

The surrounding soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, after all, they were worried that the rebels would threaten the lives of the princess and the young prince and become restrained, but now they finally dared to let go, and charged forward with their swords in hand.

Duan Yixian stood side by side with Ren Zhi at the gate of Yiwang Mansion, watching the gate of Yiwang Mansion being opened, the rebels were defeated one by one, and finally even Gong Xibang was grabbed by the hair and thrown in front of Duan Yixian. Princess, please come out."

Fu Sheng turned around and entered the mansion, Duan Yixian then lowered his head to look at Gong Xibang, with a slight smile on his face, he said lightly, "Master Gongxi, we meet again."

Gong Xibang was in a panic, his body was covered with dust and blood, he was pressed to the ground, with two swords on his neck, he struggled to raise his head, "Duan Yixian, are you still alive? I didn't manage to kill you at the banquet. If it weren't for you, my son wouldn't have died!"

Ren Zhi couldn't help snorting softly, "Lord Gongxi, your son died well, and it's better to die with someone he likes than to follow you, a father who only has the throne in his heart."

Gong Xibang glared at Ren Zhi viciously, and then turned to Duan Yixian, "You are just a bastard, even if you kill me, the throne will still belong to the crown prince!"

"Master Gongxi, don't be too naive. The prince has already been imprisoned because of your rebellion. His Majesty has left a decree to pass it on to Duan Yixian, the third prince. And you, who rebelled against the king and murdered the king, not to mention beheading the whole family, even implicated the Queen Gongxi." Prince, this is probably what you want, right?" Ren Zhi lowered his head and said viciously, "And you, who killed my mother and concubine, will definitely suffer retribution."
