Swords were on the verge of breaking out outside the Meridian Gate, and Han Zhou, who finally had the upper hand, was the first to lose his composure and went to the prime minister's residence in the east of the city to send news. Soon the third division and clan relatives arrived. Han Zhou demanded to enter the palace immediately to find out about the assassination. .

"His Royal Highness is responsible for supervising the country. To see His Highness is to see His Majesty." Sima Xiao took two steps forward, bowed his hands to the north, and said loudly, "As the commander of the Imperial Army, I, Sima Xiao, have [-] assistant guards and are in charge. The qualifications for the security of the capital and the palace, but dare to ask Han Shuai, what is the meaning of bringing troops to the capital without authorization?"

Han Zhou snorted coldly and said, "Why bother to be hypocritical, it is clear that you are the one who murdered the emperor!" Han Zhou turned his head to look at Ji Xuan again, without getting off his horse, and asked condescendingly, "Your Highness, after you came out of the palace covered in blood, , there is no more news from the palace, how can I explain it?!"

Ji Xuan is naturally a vicious person, but when confronted with bloody battlefield and full of hostility Han Zhou pressed him for questioning, after all, he was frightened, calmed down, and replied: "I told you, you should arrest him the most." Yes, it's the Hussar Battalion!"

Han Zhouchang laughed, looked at the hussars camp, and said, "Your Highness probably doesn't know, but in fact, in order to prevent people from making trouble, the emperor has always let the prime minister secretly control the hussars camp."

Ji Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Impossible! Han Wenyun was also deceived, Tang Shiyu and Hushiying have been stepping down this conspiracy from the very beginning!"

Han Zhou didn't pay any attention to it, and planned to forcefully break into the palace with Sansi and his clan relatives.

Just at the critical moment, Ding Miao suddenly left the palace gate with a bright yellow will, followed by Jin Luanwei.

Outside the Meridian Gate, there are those who kneel and those who don't. It turns out that the emperor's prestige has declined for a while.

Dan Ding Miao was calm and calm, and announced his edict loudly as usual: "The crown prince Ji Xuan, diligent and filial, loves the people like a son, covers him like the sky, tolerates him like the earth, has the ability to rule the country, and he will succeed me to the throne."

Han Zhou looked at Ding Miao with half-closed eyes, and said, "Isn't this will a fake?"

Ding Miao said solemnly: "If you don't believe me, you can immediately send a written order to verify it."

If he really went to pass on the Zhongshuling, he was afraid that it would take another time. Han Zhou thought for a moment, but he took the lead in bowing down to Ji Xuan, and then the others also bowed down to Ji Xuan.

After the ceremony, Han Zhou once again proposed to take San Si and his family members into the palace for inspection, but Ji Xuan had no choice but to make way sideways, intending to find a chance to leave with Sima Xiao, but was unexpectedly held back by Han Zhou, saying: "Your Majesty, the late Emperor was assassinated today. , but it’s not clear why you can’t go, Your Majesty had better follow in, otherwise how will you clear your suspicions?”

So, Ji Xuan had no choice but to follow, Sima Xiao followed closely behind with his personal guards, and gave Ji Xuan a look with his eyes after entering the palace gate, Ji Xuan took a careful glance in the direction and found that it was Fengyi Palace.

As for the Zhennan Army and the Hussars Battalion, most of them could only stay outside temporarily according to the regulations.

In the tea house in the south of the city, Zhao Liangyue had already finished discussing with several courtiers present, and then everyone rushed in various directions, while Zhao Liangyue went to Xidingmen with the golden waist plaque of the Ministry of Punishment and Zheng Xiu, Minister of the Ministry of War.

As Zhao Liangyue expected, before the news came out from the palace, the Zhennan army stationed outside the city began to act without authorization. When they arrived, the [-] Zhennan army was clearly in a state of attacking the city.

"As Mr. Xing expected, there are indeed people from Yeyuan among the generals of the Zhennan Army. These chess pieces have been hidden for too long and too deep." Zhao Liangyue and Zheng Xiu hurriedly walked on the tower, counting the time in his heart, and turned his head Asked, "Zheng Shangshu, if Beiying and Mr. Xing arrive at noon, how long can Beijing last?"

Zheng Xiu frowned and said: "Young Master Xiao cleared Fengyi Palace, which has been idle in a short period of time, as a temporary refuge for His Royal Highness and other princes, and Sima will take care of it. This method can indeed delay some time, but Ye Yuan They came here to destroy the capital, and once they plan to die, the situation in the palace will be more complicated and critical. Therefore, the old man has no way to know exactly how long they can last."

Zhao Liangyue looked at the Zhennan Army that was packed outside the Xiding Gate, and said: "We can only find a way to defend the city gate before the reinforcements arrive, otherwise it will be a catastrophe to massacre the city."

Zheng Xiu punched the city wall, gritted his teeth bitterly and said, "Who would have thought that Tu Yuan, who is far in the southwest, could reach Da Xu's belly!"

Zhao Liangyue looked at the dark clouds in the sky, and said: "The poison has been poisoned for too long, it has already reached the bone, so it is not easy to remove."

In the bustling and bustling Kyoto in the past, this time the four alleys and eight streets were closed, and deathly silence and terror swept over everyone's heads.

The dream of singing and dancing to promote peace was finally shattered at this moment, and Da Xu's battered appearance was exposed|exposed.

At [-] o'clock, the Zhennan Army outside the Meridian Gate suddenly began to massacre their companions, blood flowed like a river in an instant, and then the remaining "Zhennan Army" and the Hussar Battalion attacked the palace together.

Outside Fengyi Palace, Sima Xiao had already arranged his personal guards, ready to fight to the death.Inside the palace were a group of terrified clansmen and ministers, as well as Han Zhou who finally realized something was wrong, and Tang Tiancheng had long since disappeared.

At three o'clock, Xiding Gate and Nanping Gate were attacked by the "Zhennan Army" at the same time, Zhao Liangyue and Zheng Xiu defended the two places with the little remaining forces in the capital.

Among these forces guarding the city, there are the soldiers and miscellaneous servants of the government for daily security, as well as the guards and even servants of the private government, and even the benevolent and righteous people of the people of Kyoto. The second child of the water, or the woodcutter who trades strength, but in the face of the national crisis, when they heard that the Ministry of War was recruiting along the street, they all came bravely.

At six o'clock at six o'clock, Donghua Gate also heard the news of Yeyuan Dark Guard's appearance, but Nanping Gate and Xiding Gate could no longer separate their forces.

Fortunately, just before the wind and rain fell, Zhao Liangyue saw the red-bottomed Xingzi chess from a distance, and then Xing Shuo appeared in armor and led the more than ten thousand Xingjia troops he had formed in the Zhennan Army.

Beside Xing Shuo, there is also a masked lieutenant general. Zhao Liangyue knows that that is also the former Fan Jiajun. At that time, he performed a double-reed play in the mine field of Tang County and Yan Chang, and he was willing to be sent to the south of Zhennan as a "human animal". Internal support within the army played an inestimable role in later Xingshuo's investigation of the Zhennan Army and the recruitment of benevolent and righteous people in the army to form his own army.

The Xing family's army was like a wolf, and quickly rushed over to bite the "Zhennan Army" attacking the city to the outside. Zhao Liangyue hurriedly led his men to Donghua Gate.

At the end of the time, Yan Chang finally arrived with 2 troops from the Beiying camp, directly hacked and killed the Yeyuan dark guards outside the Beixuan Gate who prevented the news from being delivered, and then went directly into the city to rush to the imperial palace.

At the end of noon, after a bloody storm, Kyoto was finally saved.

Before Zhao Liangyue could breathe a sigh of relief, he and the Sixth Department quickly started to deal with the follow-up matters.

During this catastrophe, both Emperor Ping Chong and Ji Sheng died in the Nuan Pavilion.

When Wan Qian, the servant of the Ministry of Justice, took her for an autopsy, it was found that the fatal injuries of both of them were stabbed by the silver hairpin used by the maids of the Nuan Pavilion.At the same time, Wu Zuo found a kind of dizzy and powerless drug in Ping Chongdi's physical strength, which was hidden in the spices that Ji Xuan asked his servant to burn today - what Ji Xuan was going to do, it was clear at a glance, Wan Qian was Cultivated by Bandit Chu, he knew the seriousness of the matter, so he temporarily kept the evidence to hide it.

As for the Han family, Han Wenyun and Han Zhou fled the capital with a group of courtiers who were doomed to die. Zhao Liangyue expected that they would break their pots and go south to Tu Yuan, so he asked Zheng Xiu to send an urgent message to the officials along the way.

And after experiencing this catastrophe, all the officials have spontaneously regarded Zhao Liangyue as the backbone of the present, and he is the only one who follows the lead, and their attitude towards the new emperor is far less than one ten-thousandth of that towards him.

Ji Xuan saw this in his eyes, even though he felt uncomfortable, he still pretended to be a benevolent monarch, promoted Zhao Liangyue to the Minister of the Household Department, and bestowed titles and treasures, but Zhao Liangyue didn't seem to be grateful for this, just said lightly Thank you Lord for your grace.So Ji Xuan went to reward Xiao Rong who saved his life, but that one was even more ungrateful, and refused to invite her into the palace to meet him, directly turning Ji Xuan's face green with anger.

For five days in a row, the six departments were brightly lit. Except the Ministry of Rites was preparing for the funeral of Emperor Ping Chong, the other government offices were assisting Wan Qian in the interrogation of the Tang family and the Hussars camp, but in the end the questions they asked were very limited.

Wan Qian knew that he couldn't ask any more questions, so he asked Zhao Liangyue for his opinion, and he only got the word "kill", which was a bit like his own adult.

Thus, this bloodbath was finally brought to an end.

But before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, three urgent deliveries with wax paint were sent to the Ministry of War, and the court was in an uproar—the tribes in Mobei, Tu Yuan, and Dongyi all invaded Daxu at the same time!

At the court meeting, just as Zheng Xiu finished playing the military situation, he sprayed a mouthful of old blood on the wat board and fainted on the spot, causing the courtiers to panic even more.

The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, so everyone can see clearly that Daxu still has the strength to fight, and only a northern battalion can barely deal with Mobei. There are big problems in the combat effectiveness of the garrisons in the southwest and Jiangnan.

How to fight this?Can you really fight?

Chaohui was in chaos in an instant, it was useless for Ren Jixuan to shout for silence.

In the end, Zhao Liang came out more and more, bowed to Ji Xuan, turned to face all the officials, and said loudly, "My lords, please listen to what Zhao said!"

The entire Changtai Hall fell silent in an instant.

Zhao Liangyue cupped his hands and bowed deeply to all the officials, and then said:

"My lords, don't panic. Mr. Zhao thinks that I have four advantages, and I will be able to eliminate the disaster of invasion."

"First, Commander Yan has led the Northern Camp for [-] years, with sophisticated methods, and has dealt with Mobei many times for many years. He has a high prestige in the northern border, and he will be able to quickly unite the northern states and counties to jointly defend against the enemy and defeat the Mobei tribe. Alliance, so the disaster in Mobei will be eliminated."

"Secondly, although the Southwest Protectorate was first established, it has already been effective. When Chu Shangshu and I went south to investigate Xiangyuan City, we saw its effectiveness, especially in terms of deploying troops, which was more than twice as fast as before. , and under Lord Tian’s governance, the combat effectiveness of the defenders in Sanzhou has long been different from what it used to be, and Chu Shangshu personally stayed at Qianqian Pass, and Ye Yuan suffered setbacks in Kyoto, repelling Tu Yuan is just around the corner, so the disaster in the Southwest is over.”

"Thirdly, Master Xiang personally expanded and trained the Jiangnan navy, and it has already reached a large scale, and senior Yunhezi also joined forces. As long as the governor recruits troops, why worry about the small Dongyi country? Therefore, the disaster of Dongyi will be eliminated."

The hearts of all the officials below were finally relieved, and someone asked: "Then Zhao Shangshu, what is the fourth advantage?"

Zhao Liangyue pursed his lips into a smile, bowed deeply to all the officials, and said in a clear voice: "Fourth, it is the lords who are in the hall! You are all ministers of the great Xu, and they are the common people's sky. As long as you are firm in your beliefs, the great Xu Guozuo Make it long!"

All the officials were excited when they heard the words, they bowed their hands to Zhao Liangyue together, and said loudly, "What Zhao Shangshu said is absolutely true! I will be Da Xu, for the common people, and I will do my best until I die!"

Sitting on the dragon chair, Ji Xuan looked at the scene of hundreds of officials embracing Zhao Liangyue below, as if separated by a bead curtain, he became an outsider, an empty shell not to be watched.

The ten fingers under Ji Xuan's dragon robe pressed into the flesh until blood flowed out with excessive force, but Ji Xuan didn't feel pain at all, and only the crimson figure with his back to him was left in his eyes.
