Chapter 1542: Naturally, I Have to Personally Supervise the Drama I Arranged.
The six kings stood on the high platform outside the west city gate with almost dark faces.
There are five thousand elite soldiers behind him, holding sharp swords and arranged in an orderly manner!
These are the inner troops of his Sixth Prince's Palace!
Which rebel with a sick mind would lead only 5,000 troops? However, both the city guards and the imperial army actually believed him. The other side raised their shields and faced each other. They clearly regarded him as a traitor and a traitor and planned to kill him at any time!
The Sixth King took a deep breath, then took another breath. With a livid face, he asked the confidant beside him: "Who gave the order?" The confidant was sweating profusely and worried, and he said tremblingly: "Thirty elite soldiers were sent out this morning to intercept the imperial army and assassinate the imperial army. But at the critical moment, a group of elite soldiers suddenly appeared from nowhere. Their clothes had no markings, but they seemed to have already understood our plan and sent us there easily. Someone was killed. When I first received the news, before I could report it to the prince, I heard the sound of fighting outside the palace gate. When I went out to see it, it was the imperial army who forced their way into the palace and threatened to capture the prince. Xiao wanted to fight with them. They talked nicely, but they didn't stop at all. Wherever they went, there was the sound of swords and halberds, and the palace guards had no choice but to fight with them. Finally, seeing that they had broken into the front yard, the young man notified the barracks and asked them to take action early. Get ready, but who knows that fifty reinforcements have just arrived, and another eunuch came to the palace, saying that he wanted to announce the decree. There was a mess in front of the palace, and the imperial army and my palace
The guards fought fiercely, and both sides were injured. As soon as the eunuch appeared, the imperial army shouted loudly, saying that the Sixth Prince's Palace was killing the imperial army and intending to rebel. Later..."
"That's enough!" The Sixth Prince clenched his fist fiercely, and his palms were almost bleeding: "You have fallen into a trap!" His confidants complained endlessly: "Later, I also discovered that the imperial troops who broke into the palace were not the ones who were there before. The group in front of the palace gate was obviously someone who deliberately pretended to be in an attempt to provoke discord between the Sixth Prince's Palace and the imperial army. What's more, Xiao Mingming only arranged for fifty troops to assist. For some reason, there was a steady stream of people.
Continuously, five thousand people came, and all of them were armed with sharp swords. They broke into the city forcefully..." The Sixth Prince's Mansion has a total of 30,000 soldiers, most of whom are stationed in the west of the city. No one is allowed to carry weapons or transport weapons in and out of the city. The rear library has always been responsible for the single defeat, but now five thousand elites armed with weapons have forced their way into the city. Even if they are not rebelling, they have already started a conflict with the city defenders. In other words, they already have the appearance of rebellion.
Reality.
The confidants were almost as big as one and the other: "I asked, these five thousand elites were mobilized privately after the fifty soldiers were sent into the city. Someone pretended to be a junior, wrote military orders, and mobilized them privately. Xiao, Xiao of……"
The six kings stared at him like steel needles: "The military order is as big as a mountain. I have given you the power. Is this how you repay me?" The confidant knelt on the ground with a plop: "The little one deserves to die, the little one deserves to die! In front of the emperor, The army suddenly came to cause trouble, and the soldiers met each other. The palace guards were dead and wounded. I was afraid that the incident this morning was leaked, and the emperor wanted to suppress the prince with force. Therefore, in a panic, he mobilized troops and horses, just for fear of the prince. for a while
If you fall behind, you will become a prisoner! But who would have thought that the other side was just waiting for Xiao Xiao to spread his troops' lines so that he could use an excuse to impersonate the order and cause the army to rebel. This matter was Xiao Xiao's lack of thinking and was exploited by others. Xiao Xiao's crime deserves death! "
"What if you die?!"
The Six Kings angrily kicked away the kneeling henchman! He looked at the neat row of long-range shooters on the tower in front of him, and almost wanted to vomit blood: "Now even if I kill you, and then ask yourself to explain to the emperor, will he believe it? At this point, you and I are already involved. Trap, there are only two ways in front of you now, or you can make the wrong mistake and lead five thousand soldiers and horses
, break into the imperial city, start a battle and force the palace, or else, surrender without mercy, surrender, and then admit to the heinous crime of failed rebellion! How do you think this king should choose? "
A trace of cruelty suddenly flashed in the eyes of the confidant, and he said: "Now that the matter has come to this, we can't do anything else without stopping..." "You are crazy!" The Sixth King shouted loudly: "Even if I have a disobedient heart, But everything is not prepared properly. What is the chance of winning if a dog jumps over the wall? It’s just five thousand, five thousand infantry, the city guard army and the imperial army add up to a total of 60,000, not to mention the forward battalion, the heroic cavalry battalion, each department and division! Killing an egg against a stone
, The mantis is blocking the car, are you afraid that this king will not die quickly enough? "
The confidant took a deep breath and did not dare to say any more.
Since we know clearly that both are dead ends, what else is there to say?
The suspicion of treason has entered people's hearts.
They are finished.
…
The officials on the city wall looked at each other in confusion. Who would have thought that the Sixth Prince would rebel so coldly?
Everyone carefully looked at the king of the country in front of them. The emperor doted on the six kings very much. Now he must be very sad in his heart.
Just when the officials were hesitating whether to say something to comfort the Holy One.
The young eunuch ran over quickly and reported: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Xin wants to see you."
Zuo Cheng is old and weak. He has stopped attending the morning court in the past two years. But now that the six kings are in trouble, the old man got the news quickly and has come here in person.
The officials could not see the emperor's expression, but only heard his slightly tired voice, saying solemnly: "Pass."
After a while, the old man with white beard and white eyebrows came in. After all, he was a veteran of three dynasties. Even if he usually ignored court affairs, he could still control the situation at critical moments.
The emperor, who had been staring at the five thousand elite soldiers outside the city wall, turned his head. In front of the white-haired old man, his attitude became much gentler.
Prime Minister Xin didn't waste any time. He knelt on the ground with a plop, and then shouted loudly: "Old minister, I sincerely request the emperor to give an order to kill the rebels and level our country!"
All the officials did not dare to say a word. Although the six kings were wrong to rebel, five thousand elite soldiers seemed to be fighting for nothing. The emperor looked reluctant to give up. How about dealing with it more gently?
The officials were still trying to figure out the holy will to some extent, fearing that they would disobey the emperor.
But Prime Minister Xin didn't care about this. With a livid face, he criticized the five thousand elites under the city gate with sonorous words, saying that they were useless and rebellious officials and traitors. He even threatened that if the emperor did not listen to his advice, he would be punished. He could not kneel down and remonstrated with death.
He was already an old man, but his temper was still so fierce. The officials didn't know how to persuade him, so they all glanced at the emperor's expression one by one.
At this time, Qian Mengyao, who had been standing outside the crowd, suddenly said something to add fuel to the fire: "I heard someone say something yesterday, brothers are like brothers, women are like clothes, if clothes can be changed, the throne must also be But, the Emperor is very generous."
These words made everyone feel embarrassed. So what, the matter of the Emperor cuckolding has not passed yet...
"Qian Mengyao!" I don't want to be disrespectful to Prime Minister Xin, but that doesn't mean I want to tolerate a mere king with a different surname. What's more, this king's title was not conferred by him. Since he ascended the throne, the word "eradicating dissidents" has been on the emperor's mind. Wandering in.
Those who are not of my race will be punished!
But what about the same race?
Looking at the dark figures outside the city wall, the emperor lowered his eyes sadly!
At this moment, he heard his sixth brother's roaring voice coming from a distance: "The guilty minister, please play! I beg you, brother, to listen to what I have to say!"
The emperor moved and couldn't wait to go to the front, wanting to hear what the six kings had to say.
Xin Chenglian hurriedly stopped him: "Your Majesty, please don't listen to his nonsense..."
Before he finished speaking, the emperor was already holding the guardrail of the city in his hands and standing at the front, about to look for his sixth brother in the dense crowd below.
But I heard the guard beside me shout: "Your Majesty, be careful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor felt someone push him. When he staggered and finally stood still, he saw a sharp arrow stuck in the place where he was standing.
The guard pulled out the sharp arrow, looked at the arrowhead and said, "It is coated with poison."
The emperor's face turned pale and he quickly took a few steps back. The grief on his face could no longer be concealed.
The officials rushed up and pulled the emperor down like an afterthought. Qian Mengyao watched coldly and stood up to help Prime Minister Xin, who was still kneeling. But as soon as his hand fell on Prime Minister Xin's arm, the old Prime Minister suddenly looked at him, She rolled her eyes and patted the back of his hand.
Qian Mengyao was slightly stunned. He was afraid that he had understood it wrong, but the Prime Minister's move seemed to be... hinting to him?
Among the rebels below the city, the Sixth Prince angrily glared at the soldiers behind him and shouted loudly: "Who shot the arrow!"
There was silence, no acknowledgment at all.
Yue Shansheng, who was among the five thousand elite soldiers, silently put away his long bow under the cover of his surrounding companions. Then he glanced at Liu Wei next to him, remained silent for a moment, and then asked in a low voice: "Rong Leng's troops are almost here. Are you serious about not leaving?"
Liu Wei was wearing a soldier uniform and shook her head firmly: "Of course I have to personally supervise the drama I arranged. You don't have to worry about me. I will protect myself in a fight." Yue Shansheng looked at her again and saw that she was confident. I won’t say it anymore.
