Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

The imperial guards had regretted their decision long ago. They all came from prominent families and had joined King Liang in the rebellion in order to achieve great things and bring honor to their ancestors. But now that they knew King Liang's character, they could not guarantee that following him was a good way out. Besides, their families were all in the city, so how could they really ignore their families' lives?

Now that he has turned against King Liang and protected those adults back to the city, he can also clear himself of the charge of rebellion. Even if he dies, at least his family in the city will not be implicated, and he can keep his life.

Not to mention that many of the imperial guards here were originally Zhao Liangchen's men, and it was Zhao Liangchen who arranged for them to leave the city.

Therefore, as soon as Zhao Liangchen finished speaking, the imperial guards under his command stood with Zhao Liangchen and blocked those adults behind them.

Zhao Liangchen turned around and shouted to the officials, "Please leave quickly, we will block the way for you."

Zhao Jian led the way and rushed towards the city gate.

When King Liang saw this, he was so angry that he wanted to tear Zhao Liangchen apart. He shouted in anger: "Zhao Liangchen, how dare you betray me? You will all die miserably. Kill them all, kill them all."

Although there were 100,000 soldiers besieging the city, not all of them were stationed at this gate. The entire Shangjing City was surrounded, and the troops were very dispersed. Most of the soldiers deployed at other gates were soldiers led by the nearby leaders of the garrison troops he bribed, and a small number of his private soldiers.

At this city gate were his own elite private soldiers and the imperial guards trained by Zhao Liangchen, whom he had carefully arranged.

At this moment, he gave the order, and his private soldiers and the imperial guards immediately started fighting.

The military generals who had been bribed before originally stood with King Liang. Unlike the civil officials who stood opposite King Liang and were protected by the imperial guards behind them, they could escape first. When these people were stopped by the imperial guards, they shouted anxiously to let them pass, and they also wanted to enter the city.

But the imperial guards acted as if they didn't hear anything and continued to chop at them with their swords, so they had no choice but to fight back in a hurry.

Military generals are different from civil officials. Even if civil officials are allowed into the city, they will not pose any threat. Their life or death in the future can be controlled by the emperor. However, they are all generals who can command an army and have prestige in the army.

The soldiers under their command obey them more than the emperor. Since they have rebelled, they cannot be kept alive. The lives of the soldiers can be saved, but the generals who have two minds cannot be kept alive.

For a while, there was a fierce battle outside the city gate. King Liang was no longer as angry as he was at the beginning. He had regained his composure. Since it had come to this, he must win. Now that it had come to this, it was not impossible for him to win.

There is no point in keeping those pedantic civil officials. Military force determines everything. Whoever has more soldiers and more weapons will have a better chance of winning.

He has been planning for so many years and has raised so many private soldiers, while the emperor has only been planning for a short time, only a year at most. How could the soldiers under the emperor's command compare to his?

He lit a flare and watched the fireworks explode in the air. He curled his lips and smiled, "My good nephew, you don't think you can win this battle by just encouraging a few civil officials to side with you, do you? Today, let your uncle teach you one last time how to be a qualified controller.

The rebels at other city gates did not know what was happening at this gate, so when they saw the signal flares going up, they attacked the gate together as they had agreed before.

At the same time, the city was in chaos. Although King Liang retreated outside the city to lead his troops, how could he not leave his own people in the city? His confidants and trained secret guards were there just for this moment.

How could he possibly just attack the city gate honestly? That would be a waste of time and manpower. He wanted his men to create chaos in the city, and then work with them from inside and outside to open the city gate.

It was the same in the previous life. Although Zhao Liangchen and Jin Tong closed the city gates and organized the imperial guards to defend the city as soon as they realized that King Liang had rebellious intentions, King Liang's men still appeared in the city to create chaos, slaughtering officials, their families and civilians, making them unable to defend themselves. In the end, the city gates were opened by a traitor in the imperial guards, leading to their quick defeat.

How could he succeed in this life with Zhao Liangchen around? The officials' families had already entered the palace, and Jin Tong was personally guarding the palace with his men.

Zou Tai even arranged his own men in the streets and alleys. If anyone showed up during the chaos, they would be killed instantly.

Therefore, the chaos in the city did not last long, and the city gate that King Liang had been waiting for to open was easily broken into. However, those who rushed out were not his own people, but the imperial guards led by the Duke of Lu and the Marquis of Wuning, as well as the soldiers from various prefectures.

Zhao Jian was running in the front. He was delighted at first when he saw the open city gate, but when he saw who rushed out, he stopped. He thought, "Duke Lu and his men wouldn't be here to kill them."

As soon as he stopped, the others who were running behind him also stopped. They saw that Duke Lu and Marquis Wuning also hesitated. They wondered if the emperor would trick them here and kill them.

Duke Lu was very angry when he saw these people, but for the sake of the stability of the emperor's throne, he also knew that he could not kill too many people.

So, with a gloomy face, he shouted angrily, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry and get into the city. Are you standing here waiting to die?"

Zhao Jian hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and ran forward, taking a gamble. Retreating would only lead to death, but moving forward would still give him a chance of survival.

The people behind him hesitated and then ran. However, when they saw Duke Lu and Marquis Wuning rushing towards them on horseback, they stopped in their tracks with their scalps tingling. Facing the aggressive soldiers, it was impossible for them not to be afraid.

However, the Duke of Lu and the Marquis of Wuning didn't even glance at any of them, and rushed past them towards King Liang.

Zhao Jian breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the soldiers and horses rushing past. At the same time, he also looked with envy at the Duke of Lu and the Marquis of Wuning who were riding on their horses with high spirits.

Once upon a time, he was so high-spirited and rode on horseback to charge into battle, but after marrying Lady Zhao, under the arrangement of King Liang, he took off his armor and entered the Ministry of War, becoming a civil official.

His personality was originally suitable for fighting on the battlefield. In order to help King Liang for so many years, he was just suppressing his nature.

Today he started his rebellion and put on the armor he had not worn for a long time. He was filled with joy and ambition to show his might today. Unfortunately, before he could show his might, he threw away his armor and fled.

Looking at the backs of Duke Lu and Marquis Wuning, he enviously wondered if he had not defected to King Liang but had always been on the side of the emperor, would he also be among those who were fighting the rebels with great vigor today?

Unfortunately, there is no if, and he will never have the chance to wear armor and lead troops in battle again.

As he was daydreaming, he stepped into the city gate. After all the officials entered, the city gate slowly closed again.

The Duke of Lu and the Marquis of Wuning brought their men to join them, which greatly relieved the pressure on Zhao Liangchen and the others. At the same time, behind King Liang, dust and smoke billowed, and thousands of horses galloped, indicating that reinforcements were coming.

Qi Jingde came to the rescue with his private soldiers who had been trained in the past year, as well as the garrison troops he had transferred from other places under the emperor's order.

They had been here a long time ago, but they didn't want to alert the enemy, so they had been guarding dozens of miles away. Today, they dared to get closer only after they learned that King Liang was going to attack the city. They didn't show up even when they got closer. They just rushed over when they saw the signal flare. Wu Qian and others had led people to support the other city gates. The rebels who had originally surrounded Shangjing City were surrounded.

Wang Er excitedly rushed to the front, brandishing his sword. Uncle Xu said that the more people he killed today, the greater his merit would be. When the time came for rewards, he would get more rewards. Maybe he could even get a government position.

He wanted to be Su Qin's backer in the future, so he had to kill many people, make great achievements, and climb up.

He was very strong, and Qi Jingde was very optimistic about him. He specially asked someone to make him a crescent-shaped sword weighing hundreds of pounds. He held the sword with both hands and swung it hard, knocking down a group of rebels.
