Chapter 717: Palace Coup
"Who?" the patrolman shouted, and several people rode towards this side on horseback.
"I have something important to report to General Wei!" Heita roared.
"Where did you come from?" Those people surrounded the black tower with a covetous look.
The situation has been very tense recently and everyone's nerves are on edge.
"I'm from Ye County. Please give this letter to Lord Wei. No one can be held responsible for delaying important matters..." Heita said with full energy.
The patrolman did not dare to delay and went in with the things to report.
After a while, Heita was invited inside.
The lights in the big tent were on. General Wei was sitting in the middle with a gloomy face. On the table was a big sword that was shining with a cold light.
"General Wei, I am Fu Jichang's guard Heita..."
Heita bowed and said.
General Wei looked at the black tower in surprise: "Didn't Lord Fu go to Ye County? What do you want to see me about?"
Heita took out a letter from his pocket and the guard handed it to General Wei.
General Wei opened the letter and glanced at it. There were only a few words.
See you at the small temple on the back hill of Xishan Temple in an hour, there is something important to tell you!
General Wei brought the note close to the oil lamp, lit it and threw it on the ground.
"You go!"
General Wei said coldly.
The Black Tower delivered the items and the mission was completed.
But he felt that Lord Wei's tone was different from the beginning.
He didn't know what his master wrote in the letter, but he guessed that it was asking General Wei for help.
So the look on his face shows that he is unwilling to help?
Heita walked out of the military camp and went to the foot of Xishan Temple to wait for Fu Jichang.
At the same time, Fu Jichang went to the Anzhou Guard.
When Captain Xu of the escort team saw that it was Fu Jichang who had hurried over in the middle of the night, he thought it must be something bad, but he still received him warmly.
Fu Jichang asked without even taking a sip of tea: "How many people are there in the escort team now?"
"Master Fu, there are more than 900 people in total. What happened that brought you here so late?"
Captain Xu asked.
"No, I want to use these 900 people!"
Fu Jichang said directly.
Captain Xu's face immediately turned cold, and he snorted and said, "Master Fu, aren't you farming in Ye County? How come our guard team is also under your control? You secretly called the guard team in the middle of the night, are you planning a rebellion?"
Fu Jichang's face turned pale and he slammed the table angrily: "How dare you, Xu Jie!"
At this time, three men rushed in from outside and grabbed Xu Jie.
Xu Jie cursed: "Are you three crazy? Don't you recognize me? The one you want to catch is him, not me... Damn it..."
One of the men said coldly: "Captain Xu, we didn't arrest the wrong person. We arrested you!"
Xu Jie looked at Fu Jichang with a cold gaze, "What do you want to do?"
Fu Jichang shook the token in his hand and said coldly, "I am doing my job within the scope of my authority. Captain Xu, please bear with me! Take him away!"
After leaving the escort team, he rode straight to the back mountain of Xishan Temple.
After waiting for a long time, General Wei did not come.
Fu Jichang was very anxious. General Wei was stationed in Anzhou, and he must be well aware of the situation in the capital.
If he didn't come, he must be pretending to be deaf and dumb and didn't want to get involved in this matter.
The emperor transferred him back from the northern border and made him the leader of the Green Forest Army in Anzhou.
It's like trapping an eagle in a cage.
The situation in the northern border was unstable, but he had all his strength but was unable to use it. General Wei must have been disheartened.
When Fu Jichang thought of this, his heart turned cold.
But the Emperor is in trouble...
It was almost dawn. Fu Jichang moved his stiff legs and feet, stood up, and looked at the closed door with disappointment.
He shook his head helplessly and was about to leave.
The door creaked open.
"General Wei!" Fu Jichang shouted excitedly.
General Wei threw his robe back and said, "Master Fu, what do you want to do?"
Fu Jichang believed in General Wei's character and expressed his thoughts without hesitation.
General Wei was astonished: You only have more than a thousand people, and the palace is heavily guarded. If you go there, you will only die.
"I need General Wei's help. I will bring more than a thousand people into the city. General Wei, help me stop the reinforcements from outside..."
General Wei thought for a moment and said, "It is my duty to save His Majesty from danger!"
The two people's big hands were tightly clasped together.
General Wei took out a map, and the two of them mapped it out on the ground.
When it was daybreak, the two men walked out of the temple.
Fu Jichang watched General Wei walk away.
In a moment, he appeared in front of Fu Jichang from nowhere.
"Master..." He handed Fu Jichang a bamboo tube and a jade token.
Fu Jichang took the note out of the bamboo tube, took a look at it, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the ditch.
……
At noon, Fu Jichang, dressed in a guard's uniform, followed by Heita and Xuyou, knocked on the palace gate.
He handed the jade token to the person guarding the palace gate.
The man looked at Fu Jichang several times, then looked at the jade token. There was no mistake about the jade token; it belonged to the young prince.
Everyone knows that the young prince is now taking care of the sick emperor.
What do we need so many private guards for?
But since it’s the little prince’s jade token, it can’t be fake.
The man guarding the palace gate returned the jade token to Fu Jichang, opened the palace gate, and the guards filed in.
After entering the palace, he went straight to the emperor's bedroom.
Fu Jichang only brought 500 people in, but they still looked very impressive in the palace.
The imperial guards rushed over and blocked Fu Jichang's way.
Fu Jichang knew that using the young prince's jade token would be useless this time.
Fu Jichang said: "I am here to protect you on the orders of the young prince..."
The imperial guard shouted, "How dare you! The emperor is in the bedroom, why does he need someone from outside to protect him..."
The shouts were murderous, but the man did not move.
Fu Jichang and his men entered smoothly and directly surrounded the emperor's bedroom.
Fu Jichang knelt at the door and shouted, "Your Majesty, Fu Jichang is here to save you!"
Prince Qing ran out from nowhere.
"How dare you! Where are you from? Our father is seriously ill now. We brothers take turns to serve him. What are you doing here?" Prince Qing's voice changed.
Fighting had already begun outside the palace, and the sound of weapons clashing could be heard clearly.
……
Two hours later, the imprisoned emperor and the little prince left the bedroom.
Prince Qing was killed on the spot.
The Green Forest Army and the dispatched troops attacked the army formed by Prince Qing. When his army heard that Prince Qing was killed on the spot, they lost their morale and killed those who were unwilling to accept it. Those who wanted to submit surrendered.
The people outside who were close to the palace only heard some sounds of fighting.
Many people had no idea what was happening, and a battle for the crown prince came to an end.
All the remaining followers of Prince Qing were executed.
Li Yunjiong, the youngest son who did not fight or compete, became the crown prince.
The emperor is in good health now.
Everything seems to happen silently, and only the parties involved know how dangerous it is.
Fu Jichang was summoned by the emperor himself and received a reward.
There were many things to deal with after this incident, so he had to stay in the capital.
News came from Ye County that Ji Xiaobei had taken his men to Boling Mountain, and he was vaguely worried.
