Please call me Your Majesty!

Chapter 194: Secret letter to the palace changes the situation, Yongjin counterattacks and the chaos is settled

Dou Li agreed verbally, but felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

I have followed Emperor Yongjin for so many years and have been loyal to him without any ulterior motives, but now the emperor is so wary of me.

It is absolutely impossible to say that he has no thoughts at all.

However, considering Emperor Yongjin's current situation, he could fully understand the helplessness of being an emperor.

What's more, in the current situation, if he doesn't give his all, once the rebels succeed, his Dou family will be wiped out!

Thinking of this, Dou Li could only suppress his unhappiness and hurriedly took his men to follow Emperor Yongjin closely.

"Your Majesty is right. Please lead the way. I will do my best to protect you."

Emperor Yongjin nodded, then led everyone into a remote corridor.

Not long after, Emperor Yongjin suddenly stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary wall, then reached out and began to feel around on the wall.

After a while, there was a "click" sound, and the wall slowly opened, revealing a dark entrance.

Emperor Yongjin walked in first, and Dou Li and the guards quickly followed.

……

At the same time, the fighting outside the palace became increasingly fierce.

Ma Su'an took the lead and led the elite troops of Fanyang Army in a desperate battle with the defenders of the Eastern Palace on the streets.

The sounds of shouting and weapons clashing were intertwined, and the streets were dyed red with blood.

"Humph, Chu Shixu, today is the day you die. I, Ma Su'an, will accomplish this great feat. Let's see who dares to look down on me."

"Charge! Don't let Chu Shixu get away!"

Ma Suan waved his long sword and shouted loudly.

The next second, the soldiers around him rushed towards the rebels with a roar as if they were injected with chicken blood.

Although the Eastern Palace defenders were small in number, they all tried their best to protect Chu Shixu.

"We are the prince's men. If the prince falls, we will not have a good ending either. We will defend here at the risk of our lives."

The roadblocks they set up on the streets played a certain blocking role, and the advance speed of the Fanyang army was affected.

"General, this roadblock is a bit tricky!"

A deputy general ran up to Ma Suan and said.

Ma Suan frowned, looked around, and pointed to a house not far away and said, "Go, tear down that house, and use wood to knock down the roadblock!"

"Humph, you want to stop me with this roadblock? Let me see how I can break through it."

The deputy general took the order and soon rushed towards the house with a group of soldiers.

Soon, the house was knocked down and the soldiers carried thick logs and rushed towards the roadblock.

With a loud "boom", a big hole was knocked open in the roadblock, and the Fanyang army rushed over like a tide.

Surrounded by a group of advisers and generals, Chu Shixu fled desperately towards the imperial palace.

Ma Suan, this bastard, actually dared to betray me at the critical moment!
When he gets through this, I will teach this fickle guy a lesson.

Chu Shixu swore secretly in his heart.

But the most urgent task is to solve the current dilemma first.

Thinking of this, Chu Shixu immediately turned around and looked at the Fanyang army approaching behind him.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?"

Wang Laosan, who was following Chu Shixu, looked at his master anxiously.

Hearing this, Chu Shixu subconsciously turned around and glared at the other person.

"What else can we do? Let's rush into the palace first!"

"As long as we can capture our father, we still have a chance!"

"As long as we can hold our father hostage, we can hold the emperor hostage to control the princes. By then, these guys will just let us do whatever we want..."

However, before Chu Shixu could finish his words, a group of people suddenly appeared from somewhere in front of them and blocked their way.

"Chu Shixu, where are you running to!"

When Chu Shixu saw the person coming, he was immediately shocked.

After all his planning, he never expected that Hengyi would appear here.

"Chu Shixu, you can't escape today, I advise you to surrender as soon as possible!"

Hengyi spoke coldly, holding a spear.

"Heng Yi, today's matter is imperative for me, the Crown Prince. I advise you to leave as soon as possible, otherwise when I ascend to the throne one day, I will definitely make your Heng family..."

Chu Shixu threatened with a gloomy face.

But before he could finish his words, Hengyi on the opposite side sneered.

"You're still on the throne. What kind of situation is this? Are you still dreaming of becoming the emperor?!"

"As the crown prince of the Great Zhou, you don't want to share the worries of Your Majesty, but instead you want to plot a rebellion. Now, you even dare to threaten me with such brazen words! You really don't know how to live or die!"

"Chu Shixu, you have committed the crime of treason, today is the day you will die!"

Just at this moment, the Fanyang army behind Chu Shixu quietly approached and completely cut off Chu Shixu's last retreat.

It was not until this moment that Chu Shixu finally reacted.

I'm already surrounded!
"It's over, it's over. Am I really going to fail here? No, I won't accept this!"

Chu Shixu knew that he was in a desperate situation, but he still didn't intend to give up until this moment.

Since there is no way to retreat, let’s fight our way out!
Thinking of this, he shouted angrily to the people around him.

"All soldiers, listen up and fight them!"

Following Chu Shixu's roar.

The next second, the three armies were instantly plunged into a melee.

In order to protect Chu Shixu, his advisers and generals rushed forward to fight with Heng Yi and others.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the battle, Chu Shixu, the leader of the East Palace forces, did not intend to live and die with his soldiers. Instead, he was planning to break out of the chaos.

However, he didn't know that his plan had actually been seen through in advance by Heng Yi, who had been keeping an eye on him from beginning to end.

Just when Chu Shixu wanted to escape.

Heng Yi on the opposite side didn't give him the chance at all. He shook the spear in his hand and stabbed it directly at Chu Shixu's face without hesitation.

The sudden change threw Chu Shixu, who was completely unprepared, into chaos.

In panic, he could only subconsciously draw his sword to resist.

"when!"

Accompanied by the sound of metal collision.

The next second, the sword in Chu Shixu's hand was directly knocked away by Hengyi's gun.

The enormous force was so powerful that even Chu Shixu almost fell off his horse.

"you……"

Chu Shixu looked at Hengyi in panic and stepped back subconsciously.

However, Hengyi on the opposite side didn't seem to intend to give him this opportunity.

The next second, the spear in Hengyi's hand flashed with a cold light and stabbed straight into Chu Shixu's heart.

Seeing the cold light approaching.

Chu Shixu couldn't help but tremble all over.

He is the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, the future legitimate heir to the Great Zhou, and now he has fallen into such a state!

Could it be that he really died at the hands of a woman today?

Do not!
He is not willing!

Chu Shixu thought to himself and then closed his eyes.

However, just when Hengyi was about to kill Chu Shixu.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hooves behind me.

She turned back subconsciously, only to find that it was Huangfu Jian who came.

Without waiting to get closer, Huangfu Jian shouted loudly from a distance.

"General Heng, wait a minute!"

"Leave him alive, and your majesty will interrogate him personally!"

Hearing what the other party said, although Hengyi was a little unhappy, he still put away the spear in his hand. "Come here, capture this traitor for me!"

Following Heng Yi's order, two soldiers dressed as captains walked out from the Heng family army behind him and tied up Chu Shixu.

"Hmph, you are lucky. When His Majesty interrogates you, you will be in trouble."

On this side, as Chu Shixu was captured, the surrounding battles soon came to an end.

Just as Hengyi and his men were leading the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

At this time, Liu Quan, who was sent by Guo Qian to deliver a letter to Dou Li, hurried back.

"General Heng, General Huangfu, His Majesty has ordered that you two must take over the East Palace as soon as possible!"

Hengyi and Huangfu Jian looked at each other, and then said in unison: "As ordered!"

"Now that the crown prince Chu Shixu has been captured by the two of you, as long as we capture the East Palace, then when the time comes, the merits and rewards will definitely include the generals!"

Liu Quan bowed to Hengyi and Huangfu Jian in front of him with a flattering look on his face.

Afterwards, they continued to march towards the East Palace with their men.

……

at the same time.

In the secret passage inside the palace.

Emperor Yongjin, Dou Li and others were still moving forward cautiously.

As the Yongjin Emperor walked away, he whispered to Dou Li, "My dear Dou, I have made up my mind. After this rebellion is over, I will definitely rectify the government and never let such a thing happen again."

"This time, the Crown Prince's backstabbing made me see many things clearly. The government must be rectified and we must not allow these traitors to take advantage of the situation again."

Dou Li quickly responded: "Your Majesty is wise, and now with the help of the Fanyang Army, the rebellion can be put down in no time."

"only……"

"Just what? Feel free to tell me." asked Emperor Yongjin.

Dou Li hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Your Majesty, it is certainly a good thing that the Fanyang Army has turned against us and helped us."

"But Ma Suan is a fickle person, and I'm afraid he will be a hidden danger in the future."

"Ma Suan is a man with bad intentions. Maybe his help this time is for his own benefit. We need to be careful of him in the future."

Emperor Yongjin nodded slightly.

"I understand, but the political situation is in chaos right now, so I can only use it for now."

"As the saying goes, be suspicious of people when you employ them, and employ those you are suspicious of!"

"Don't worry, I will make arrangements after this matter is over."

"Ma Suan is indeed difficult to deal with, but I have plenty of ways to deal with him. I will slowly deal with him after the rebellion is quelled."

As they were talking, everyone finally reached the end of the secret passage.

Emperor Yongjin reached out and pressed on the wall a few times, and a door slowly opened.

Everyone walked out of the secret passage and found themselves in a remote corner of the palace.

At this time, the atmosphere in the palace was extremely tense. There were battles between the East Palace rebels and the palace guards everywhere.

"This palace was originally my world, but now it has been messed up by these rebels. I will make them pay the price."

Emperor Yongjin felt very uncomfortable when he looked at the chaotic palace.

"Lord Dou, pass on my order. All guards must defend the palace to the death and not let the rebels get close to me!"

Emperor Yongjin said.

Dou Li took the order and left.

……

At the same time, Hengyi and Huangfu Jian.

The Fanyang Army led by them had now arrived at the gate of the Eastern Palace.

More than 10,000 defenders of the Eastern Palace fought desperately here, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

"These guys are pretty tenacious!"

Ma Suan frowned as he looked at the East Palace gate that had been difficult to capture.

"These defenders are really difficult to deal with. It seems we have to think of a way."

Heng Yi thought for a moment and said, "General Ma, let's go around from the side and find a weak point in the defense to attack."

"A frontal attack would cause too much loss. We may be able to find a breakthrough by attacking from the side."

Ma Su'an nodded, then dispatched a part of the troops, led by Heng Yi, and went around to the side of the palace.

Sure enough, the defense on the side of the palace was relatively weak.

At Hengyi's command, the soldiers launched a charge and quickly broke through the defense line and rushed into the palace.

"Fight in!"

Hengyi shouted, and the soldiers rushed towards the palace like tigers.

Along the way, they encountered many obstacles from the Eastern Palace rebels, but they were all repelled one by one by the Fanyang Army.

As the Fanyang army advanced deeper, the rebels in the Eastern Palace gradually became unable to resist.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Chu Shixu's advisers and generals began to flee.

"Tell my commander that none of these traitors in the East Palace should be spared!"

Following his order.

The surrounding Fanyang Army soldiers then launched a carpet search in the East Palace.

Soon, the rebels in the East Palace were basically wiped out.

As the rebellion in the Eastern Palace was put down.

Emperor Yongjin, who had been hiding in the secret passage, returned to the main hall of the imperial palace under the protection of Dou Li.

Emperor Yongjin, who had experienced this life-and-death escape, now sat upright on the dragon throne.

It's such a pity that such a good palace has been turned into such a state!

It's all those damn traitors!

Once he catches those guys, he will never let them off easily!

Emperor Yongjin was thinking about this.

At this time, the guards he had sent out to investigate the situation hurried back.

"How's the situation outside?"

"Has the rebellion been put down?"

"Also, is Chu Shixu, the rebellious son, still alive?"

"..."

When he saw the visitor, Emperor Yongjin raised all the doubts in his mind one by one like a machine gun.

"Your Majesty, General Hengyi and General Huangfu have suppressed the rebels in the Eastern Palace, and the rebellious Crown Prince Chu Shixu has been captured alive by General Hengyi!"

The guard went straight to the point and reported the news he had received one by one.

After hearing what the other party said, Emperor Yongjin's originally gloomy face finally revealed a satisfied smile.

The next second, Emperor Yongjin, who was sitting on the dragon throne, stood up suddenly.

"Good good!"

"Well done!"

"Notify everyone that all the soldiers who participated in suppressing the rebellion will be heavily rewarded!"

This narrow escape from death made the originally high-handed Emperor Yongjin feel a little uneasy in his heart.

After all, even his own son could betray him. Looking at the entire Great Zhou, how many people can he trust 100%?

Maybe it's time for me to do something!

After a brief pause, Emperor Yongjin changed his previous joy and looked at the guards below with a gloomy expression.

"Also, go and inform General Hengyi and General Huangfu right now."

"Tell them to bring Chu Shixu, the rebellious son, to me immediately!"

"I must ask this rebellious son in person."

"What did I do wrong to make him betray me?"
