A beautiful daughter came to the Xiangfu
Chapter 158 Ambush
Prince Shun and the Crown Prince naturally had never seen the old man, because not many people knew his identity.
Duke Qing welcomed the emperor into his palace.
There were few people in the Duke of Qing's mansion, and at this time, the spies of Prince Shun and the Crown Prince had no idea what was happening in the mansion. They could only estimate the time.
The prince thought to himself: Let you two enjoy a deep father-son relationship, and then I will send you off together when the time comes.
Prince Shun and the Crown Prince were waiting outside the Duke of Qing's mansion.
"How did you arrange things at Prince An's Mansion?"
The Crown Prince had never known about Prince Shun's arrangements over there. After knowing that you and your people would attend the banquet at Prince An's Mansion today, the Crown Prince felt relieved. After all, those people could not come to cause trouble for him. Zhuang Yunlin and Liang Jingsui's kung fu were pretty good, and adding Yang Ting would also require some manpower.
The prince has always wanted to capture a hostage who could be used in times of crisis.
"Don't worry, you'll know in a moment."
After Prince Shun finished speaking, the Crown Prince was not happy. He did not like Prince Shun's pretentious look.
"Almost done, let's go in."
At a command, Prince Shun and the Crown Prince's troops appeared and quickly took control of the emperor's personal guards left outside the palace.
Afterwards, a large number of troops rushed into the Duke of Qing’s mansion.
There were not many people passing by, and when they saw so many soldiers and horses here, they wanted to take a detour.
Originally, this was the residence of an official, so seeing so many soldiers and horses was nothing strange. The people in the capital were also accustomed to storms. There were people crying and shouting when their houses were searched, but it was quiet here, so who would have thought of a rebellion? In broad daylight, a rebellion could not be committed in the home of Duke Qing, a son-in-law of a royal consort.
"The emperor is in trouble, and we are here to save him."
Following the "shouting" of the vanguard, the prince and others also entered the palace.
The Duke of Qing's Mansion naturally cannot be compared with the Crown Prince's Mansion, but in the capital, it is also a very large mansion.
Duke Qing did not like luxury, so there were only two elderly men at the door. As the officers and soldiers walked inside, they saw not many servants.
After crossing the corridor and walking through several courtyards, he was about to leave the palace when he saw the emperor and his entourage waiting in the backyard.
There were three people sitting at a stone table under the courtyard wall. The emperor was sitting in the middle, with Duke Qing and a young man on both sides.
The prince had already arrived at the yard. Seeing that the young man next to the emperor was of the same age as himself, he concluded that this man must be the so-called "common prince."
"Look, here it comes."
When the emperor saw the prince breaking in, he did not get angry but laughed instead, and said these words to the people around him, but after he finished speaking, a look of majesty appeared on his face.
The prince led his men to kill towards the emperor.
When the emperor visits a minister's house, he usually does not bring too many attendants with him, especially if he is traveling in casual clothes. Today, the guards brought by the emperor are basically outside the house.
The prince's men were getting closer and closer to the emperor and his men, but the emperor, Duke Qing and the young man at the table were not panicking and were still "chatting and laughing".
There were only a few guards around the emperor and Duke Qing, and they were on high alert.
Many soldiers rushed over from the front yard. Several guards around the emperor rushed forward to fight, while others took advantage of the chaos to come to the emperor, raising their swords to chop at the young man.
However, the man holding the knife was pierced by a feather arrow flying from behind and fell to the ground.
The prince looked up and saw several archers standing faintly on the courtyard wall behind the emperor.
Prince Shun once said that the yard behind the Duke of Qing's mansion had been bought by someone and was not rented out. It turned out that there were archers hiding in that yard.
The prince didn't know whether it was Duke Qing who arranged it in advance or the emperor. In any case, the other party came prepared and seemed to have known that he was going to rebel. Could it be that he had fallen into a trap?
The courtyard next to the Duke of Qing's mansion was used by the prince to set up defenses in advance. People were arranged there, and when necessary, they would climb over the wall to the Duke of Qing's backyard. But now, only people climbing over the wall from the backyard were seen, but no helpers from the neighboring courtyard were seen.
The prince was anxious. The only option now was to risk everything. His target was the emperor and the young man around him.
The prince’s kung fu was acceptable, and perhaps because he was blinded by the desire to kill, he appeared “extremely brave” at this moment.
The prince actually quietly approached the young master when more and more guards were coming.
The three people in front of the stone table remained calm and composed.
Whenever someone approached these three men, they were either shot to death by arrows or killed by the guards who came down from the wall. Only the prince broke in.
The prince swung his sword at the young man. The emperor looked at him not in panic, but with some disappointment.
When the prince's sword was almost about to stab the young man, the young man on the stone table hit the prince with a teacup, and the prince staggered.
The young man stood up, and the prince continued to swing his sword, but the young man dodged left and right, and the sword in the prince's hand could not get close to him.
After several struggles, the prince was defeated. The young master subdued the prince and brought him before the emperor, asking the emperor: "Your Majesty, the prince is at your disposal."
The prince looked up at the young man and asked, "Who are you?"
The young man ignored the prince's question and stood beside the emperor without saying a word.
The guards left outside by the emperor came to report: "Your Majesty, all the rebels have been captured, and Prince Shun is outside."
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Take Prince Shun Liang Jingwei and Crown Prince Liang Jingquan away, and have Prince Qi and General Yang outside keep an eye on the rest. We will interrogate them shortly."
The subordinate replied "yes" and went out.
The emperor looked at Duke Qing again and said, "Since we have borrowed your territory today, let's go and see how those children are doing."
With that said, the Emperor and Duke Qing walked out, and the young master followed behind them.
Walking out, I found that the mansion of Duke Qing was no longer the same as before. There were people lying or kneeling on the ground in the front yard.
After leaving the Duke Qing's Mansion, these people walked towards the direction of Prince An's Mansion. The people from Prince An's Mansion had been waiting for a long time.
The emperor, Duke Qing, and the young man behind them walked in front, and the guards followed behind, and they entered Prince An's Mansion.
Everyone paid their respects, and the emperor sat on the throne and summoned the bound Prince Shun and the crown prince.
The prince was still confused at this time. How could he suffer such a "crushing defeat"? It had only been a short time and he was already a prisoner. No, he would be killed soon.
Prince Shun was even more confused. He had poisoned the food that was delivered to Duke Qing’s mansion in advance. They couldn’t sleep, eat or drink!
Even if the Duke of Qing's Mansion was fine, he had made sufficient preparations at Prince An's Mansion. He had thought in advance that even if he was caught, it would be okay because he had left a life-saving talisman.
When Prince Shun looked up and saw the Zhuang brothers and sisters standing together with Prince Xiaoan, Lin Qingyang and others, he suddenly panicked and said stumblingly: "Why are you here, you..."
