Chapter 811 Sniper Killing
As soon as the ten Golden Scale Guards took action, General Zhenwei's ability was immediately no longer enough.
Seeing the swords approaching, General Zhenwei was really panicked: "My fellow officers, the court officials have been harmed like this by the Cui family's brats. If you don't take action now, you will not have a good ending in the future!"
The civil officials were all silent, while the military officers looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Kill!" Xiao Wu shouted, and the Golden Scale Guard stabbed a sword into General Zhenwei's chest.
Feeling the severe pain in his chest, the battle-hardened General Zhenwei knew he was not going to survive.
He looked up at his shrinking colleagues in bewilderment, then at the high-ranking young prince and Cui Changan...
Everything in front of me gradually turned black and white.
It was fine two days ago, how come it suddenly became like this?
He was unwilling to give up, but he never had another chance.
After General Zhenwei fell to the ground unwillingly, Xiao Wu reported in a deep voice.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, and the Regent: General Zhenwei is suspected of funding Prince Hong's rebellion. There is irrefutable evidence that he has been killed by the Golden Scale Guards."
Cui Changan was surprised that Xiao Wu could be so imposing in the court, and dared to seize the opportunity and act first and report later, and he felt proud.
In terms of momentum, ability to judge and control the situation, the emperor is no better than him.
He suppressed his emotions and said, "Come here, search and confiscate General Zhenwei's mansion."
General Zhenwei is from Prince Hong's faction, and many people in the court know this.
It was originally thought that Prince Hong was dead, and General Zhenwei, who had not appeared directly, had escaped. Unexpectedly, he died in the court today, and his house was still raided.
With the Golden Scale Guards around, the officials were unable to cause any trouble in the court and began to seriously discuss the funeral arrangements and choosing an auspicious day for the prince to succeed to the throne.
The crown prince was scheduled to ascend the throne three days later, and at the same time, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory would select the posthumous title for the late emperor.
After the court was dismissed, Cui Changan and Xiao Wu did not feel relieved.
There is also a noble concubine named Yu in the harem who is trying hard to have a baby.
It’s been a day since the baby was born, but it’s not delivered yet.
However, the concubines who acted quickly had already chosen their future path.
About ten of them were going home.
There are even more who want to live outside the palace under an assumed name.
There were also three who felt that the outside world was too dangerous and their parents at home were unwilling to take them back, so they chose to stay in the deep palace and live out their lives alone.
Cui Changan agreed to everything.
Xiao Wu didn't say that he was soft-hearted, she just watched silently.
As a result, in the middle of the night, the queen's family forced the emperor to abdicate under the slogan of "clearing the court of evil officials".
The moment Cui Changan heard the news, he immediately looked at Xiao Wu and said, "You go first."
Xiao Wu was surprised: "What do you mean?"
Cui Changan said solemnly, "They are forcing me to abdicate, just to get me killed so that I can take their place. This has nothing to do with you."
"It was my own soft-heartedness that led to their behavior."
"I can only feel at ease when you leave."
"Wait a moment." Xiao Wu walked into the inner room and came out after a while, holding a strange box that Cui Changan had never seen before.
Cui Changan was a little curious: "What is this?"
Xiao Wu carried the box and walked out: "Something that can help you turn defeat into victory."
"Go find the Empress and the Crown Prince right now."
"Only by controlling these two can you survive tonight."
Cui Changan hurried out.
As soon as he walked into the imperial study, he saw the little prince running towards him.
The prince was still in his pajamas, followed by the eunuchs, and then the empress and the palace maids.
The Queen was also disheveled and had disheveled hair.
When Cui Changan saw the Queen's condition, he knew that she probably didn't know about it in advance.
Otherwise, she would have been dressed appropriately and controlled the prince in advance, and would not have been so rude to chase him here.
He breathed a sigh of relief: It’s good that they didn’t unite.
Eunuch A Zhong chased after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and watched as the Crown Prince threw himself into Cui Chang'an's arms.
He also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Uncle Regent, where is Aunt Xiaowu?" The little guy asked immediately after being picked up by Cui Changan.
Cui Changan: "She went to make preparations."
The Queen was also anxious: "Where is she in charge of the Golden Scale Guards? If she doesn't come to protect the Crown Prince, what is she preparing for?"
Cui Changan didn't respond, but instead asked Eunuch Zhong: "What's the situation now?"
Ah Zhong quickly replied, "The Jinwu Guards are already resisting. The Jinlin Guards just reported that some of them have already gone..."
The rest were distributed around, openly and secretly, to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
It was the father-in-law of the emperor and several generals under General Zhenwei who rebelled.
How can I be willing to watch the position that is so within my reach being snatched away?
After both sides discussed it, they took action that night!
As long as he takes advantage of the fact that Cui Chang'an has not yet completely taken control of the court, he can pull him down and take his place himself.
Is Cui Changan the regent? Or is the father-in-law the regent?
What is the fundamental difference for ordinary officials?
At this moment, they had already opened the outer palace gate, entered the alley, and were about to break into the inner gate of the palace.
The Jinwu Guards and the Jinlin Guards have already retreated and are defending the palace.
Seeing that the resistance they encountered along the way was not strong, the father-in-law of the emperor and the deputy generals of the Zhenwei Army were very proud, thinking that they were the chosen ones and that victory was just around the corner.
Otherwise, why would the resistance be so loose?
Some even raised their hands in surrender after just two hits...
So when the father-in-law stood outside the palace and had people shouting into the palace, he seemed particularly arrogant.
"The Cui family's son secretly occupied the imperial court and held the crown prince hostage. What is his intention?"
"If you understand what's happening, open the palace gates immediately and surrender, and I'll spare your life..."
Cui Changan was still holding the three-year-old prince in his arms. They both looked at the palace gate, and no one knew what they were thinking.
The Queen's face was pale, and she was wearing a cloak to hide her disgrace.
Her expression also changed.
She knew that her father was unwilling to give in, but she never expected that he would hide it from her and force her to abdicate.
Even if you really want to start a rebellion, could you at least discuss it with me?
This is even on guard against myself...
Isn’t he afraid that Cui Changan will directly attack him and his son?
It is impossible not to feel chilled.
But she had no choice at this time.
Because the prince was holding Cui Changan's neck tightly, he didn't want anyone else to hold him.
The Queen smiled bitterly: Even a three-year-old child knows who can protect him, and knows that he is not good at judging people and is not trustworthy...
The father-in-law and several lieutenants stood outside the palace gate on horseback, their faces full of ambition: "If the palace gate doesn't open after one stick of incense, we will charge in!"
"Yes!"
Separated by the high palace walls, the two sides were deadlocked.
People outside the palace were still shouting, portraying Cui Changan as an ambitious and scheming person.
Cui Chang'an said nothing, but the prince hugged his neck tighter without saying a word.
"Uncle Regent, I only trust you."
Cui Changan reached out and touched the little prince's head: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will protect you..."
How to do?
Can the Golden Scale Guards and the Golden Guards hold the palace gate?
What will happen if you can’t hold on?
As the future empress dowager and the daughter of the emperor's father-in-law, the queen will naturally be fine. But Cui Changan... will definitely not have a good ending.
No matter how powerful the Golden Scale Guards and the Golden Guards are, can they withstand the 20,000 troops outside?
The balance of victory seemed to be undeniable.
It's just a matter of time.
Seeing that the time was approaching, the complacent father-in-law waved his hand and said, "Knock on the door!"
The palace gate creaked under the weight, and the father-in-law laughed heartily, raising his hands high. "As soon as the palace gate opens, everyone rush in, capture the traitor Cui, and protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Empress!"
"Yes!"
The officers and soldiers also became excited: wealth and honor are within their reach!
The rhythmic "dong dong dong" sound of banging on the door was so loud that no one noticed the tiny "puff puff puff puff" sounds as the palace door was about to be knocked open.
The father-in-law, who was leading the way, was the first to fall off his horse.
The next to fall were the two lieutenant generals of the Zhenwei Army beside him and the Queen's two brothers...
