There were about 500 rebels who attacked Guangming Palace, which was three times the number of all the defenders gathered here at this time.Although the Empire's Shuangbi used troops unpredictable, this hand-to-hand combat was also quite difficult.

The fierce battle continued until dawn, and both sides suffered heavy losses.The opponent's 500 people were beaten to only 200 people, and the Guangming Forbidden Army only had 100 people.Fortunately, the unidentified rebel army failed to move forward.

At this moment, the two sides are already exhausted and are in a short truce to rest.They each stared at each other's every move covetously, always full of vigilance.

Seeing that the sky is about to dawn, the Changshan iron cavalry will arrive in Chang'an at any time, but this is the most dangerous moment.

Gu Shenxing knew in his heart that they had no more arrows.

Even if he is as wise as a demon and employs soldiers like a god, it will be difficult for him to cook without rice.

How many mountains of swords and seas of fire the empire has passed through, and how many storms and waves, probably never thought before that the only desperate situation in their life was actually in this cramped corner of the forbidden palace.

There are no more interlocking schemes, nor endless back moves, and the final hole cards have been fully revealed in front of everyone.Their only hope is Zhao Yanzhi who will wake up at an unknown time, and all chances of winning depend on God's will.

Gu Shenxing and Zhao Wangzhi have known each other for half their lives, and they looked at each other to know each other's feelings.Zhao Wangzhi laughed loudly and said: "Shen Xing, today is really happy, I never thought that I would be able to fight side by side with you in my lifetime. You and I have the same hair in life, and the same acupuncture point in death. Zhao Wangzhi is very lucky to have Gu Shen Xing by his side in this life!"

We live in the same fur, and in death we have the same acupoints. Many years later, he heard this man say this again, just as lingering and intense as before.Gu Shenxing couldn't help but smiled at him, and said softly: "Sansheng is lucky."

Without the main force of bows and crossbows, the imperial army was soon forced to the gate of the emperor's bedroom, and the number was only a few dozen.The rebels led by them believed that their situation was over, and couldn't help but get carried away.He took off his mask, looked up to the sky with a long smile, and yelled arrogantly at Zhao Wangzhi and Gu Shenxing: "Ni Shu will be arrested before he hands up! The officials will remove you two power traitors for the Son of Heaven today, so that the world will be safe!"

It's Zhao Shichang.

Gu Shenxing can't remember how many years it has been since no one dared to be so rude in front of him. It seems that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.In order to demonstrate the power of the "tiger", Gu Shenxing's expression involuntarily became awe-inspiring and inviolable.As a result, the newborn calf suddenly flinched.Gu Shenxing suddenly felt uncomfortable.He felt that if his fame in the first life was really ruined in the hands of such a bastard, it must be because he offended the Taiyi God at some point.

"Qing wants to clear the emperor's side? Why don't you kill yourself to thank the world!" The palace door opened with a creak, and a majestic voice came from inside.

Only with Xie Qing's support, Zhao Yan walked out slowly.After recovering from a serious illness, his face was inevitably paler, but the dead air from earlier had been swept away.

Compared to Gu Shenxing and Zhao Wangzhi's surprise, Zhao Shichang's complexion was three points uglier than Zhao Yanzhi's.The news he got was that the emperor had collapsed, and as long as King Changshan and Da Sima were removed, no one could stop his elder brother from registering as emperor.That's why he had no fear, and he was able to march to the city of Chang'an after asking for advice from an expert; he also lost his mother's family's old money for many years to gather more than 1000 people who forced the palace.

But Zhao Yanzhi appeared alive.

Zhao Yan and Zhao Shichang never had a brotherhood.The two of them are like enemies in the previous life, and they have disliked each other since they were young.After Zhao Shichang's mother poisoned his unborn child, and Zhao Shichang's elder brother almost killed his beloved Xie Qing, the bad relationship between the two finally entered a white-hot stage, and all face was lost.

Don't you see, brothers who haven't seen each other for many years, the first time they meet is swordsmanship.Zhao Yan only threw away the basic etiquette and directly let his brother die.

Zhao Shichang gritted his teeth and gave the order, "Kill!"

A few people waved their swords and took a few steps forward, but found that no one else was moving, so they retreated.

It is different from beheading power rape and saving the king from fire and water, and forcing the palace to kill the king.

Zhao Shichang saw that no one moved, and his most hated younger brother Zhao Yan was only staring at him with a half-smile expression, and his heart became angry.On impulse, he snatched the bow and arrow from a soldier beside him, and shot at Zhao Yanzhi.

The arrow naturally couldn't hit Zhao Yanzhi's face, but Zhao Shichang's crime of killing the king was confirmed.

Seeing this impulsive, planless and desperate thing, Xie Qing really had a headache.He was afraid that Zhao Shichang would do something stupid again, so he hurriedly stepped forward and stood in front of Zhao Yanzhi.

Zhao Yan didn't agree with anything, so he quickly pulled Xie Qing to pull him behind him.Reluctantly, he just woke up, and his body has been ruined by the pain, and the previous strength has disappeared to nowhere.Zhao Yan was only frustrated to find that he couldn't even hold back a frail scholar like Xie Qing.

In desperation, Zhao Yan just yelled at Xie Qing: "Did Qing forget what oath he made?!"

Xie Qing was taken aback, then smiled in relief.

In the ninth year of Jinghe, Zhao Yan was only the prince.His servant Ping An was ordered by Zhao Xin to kill Zhao Yanzhi with poison. Later, when the Dongchuang incident happened, he was stabbed to death by the late emperor.Ping An and Zhao Yan just grew up together, no matter how bad he is, Zhao Yan will inevitably hate and feel sad.Xie Qing remembered that the moonlight was just right that day, and the boy who had grown to be as tall as him wanted to nest into his arms aggrievedly like they did when they were young, and asked him if he would leave.Xie Qing remembered that he only said to Zhao Yan, "Whether you are good or bad in the future, whether I am dead or alive, I will stand behind His Highness. If there is a violation of today's words in the future, Xie Qing will not die well."

"Stand behind His Highness", Xie Qing suddenly thought that this was all Zhao Yan wanted to say.The boy who nestled in his arms seeking comfort that day has grown into a heroic emperor, and he, who is full of "the man who dies for his confidant", is long gone.When Zhao Yanzhi mentioned it today, he suddenly realized that even though so many accidents had happened in these years, the relationship between him and Zhao Yanzhi had never stopped.

Xie Qing's heart suddenly softened into a puddle of spring water.He turned his head and smiled at Zhao Yan: "A Yuan, then I would rather die."

Zhao Shichang held a swearing-in meeting on the spot in the courtyard.I have to say that although Zhao Shichang, King of Jinbei, is an idiot, his eloquence is not so bad compared to his wisdom.At this moment, he was saying eloquently: "...Forcing the palace has become a fact, and it is hard to get over it. Both the left and the right are dead. For the current plan, the only thing to do is to kill the faint king and treacherous ministers. When the new emperor ascends the throne, the kings will be Great meritorious official! Meticulously ascending to the top of the sky, cracking the earth and making him a prince, an extremely human minister, just around the corner!"

As soon as he said that, some people started whispering.The temptation is so great, it is inevitable that someone will be tempted.Zhao Yan only smiled contemptuously, and then said in a moderate voice: "If you kill me, you will not be able to escape the crime of regicide, and even a minister of the highest rank will not be able to escape the criticism of future generations! What's more, you can kill me today. It is inevitable that the new emperor will not be killed in the future. Can the new emperor really feel at ease? How about this. I have made a promise, and you all can bear witness: if you surrender here, I promise that I will not pursue the past. For the dead soldiers, I will also I ordered a good burial. Today's matter is over."

The rebels suddenly became chaotic.They came to attack the Forbidden Palace today, and they all came here under orders. Whoever lived a good life never thought of rebellion.Since His Majesty the Emperor said that he would not pursue it, how could they have any reason to resist?

Zhao Shichang watched the soldiers around him put down their weapons one by one, and watched them rush up, tie him up and take him down.

During the meal, Changshan's 18 cavalry arrived, and the mob led by Zhao Shichang was leaderless, and they were dispersed in an instant.The siege of Chang'an was resolved.

Zhao Yan only visited the court meeting in person for the first time after many days, and the rumors were self-defeating.Seeing that Zhao Yan's complexion was extremely bad, and that it was not a lie to say that he was recovering from a serious illness, all the ministers advised the emperor to put his health first.

"Health is the most important thing?" Zhao Yan just snorted coldly, "You gentlemen are really capable! I was ill for a few months, and someone forced the palace; if I rest for a few more days, I'm afraid it will be inevitable!"

"I apologize."

"I am incompetent."

"The minister should be punished for his crime."

Zhou Jichuan, Marquis of Chengyang, did not move at all, he was afraid that if he raised his head, people would see something strange.Obviously Zhao Yan's life is not long, and his method should be foolproof!

Zhao Yan had just recovered from a serious illness, so he went back to rest after showing his face.Ji Chengchu took his pulse again, prescribed some tonics, told him the things he should pay attention to, and then went to see Xie Qing.

The moment Zhao Shichang was escorted away, Xie Qing felt that the string that had been stretched on his heart for dozens of days was finally loosened.It doesn't matter if he relaxes, he will die immediately.

When Xie Qing fell down, Zhao Yan only stubbornly tried to support him, but the two of them fell to the ground together.Doctor Ji said that Xie Qing was just overworked, and told him not to worry, and he felt better now.

No bottom line pampering and pampering, taking care of him day and night, regardless of life and death, ghosts and gods guarding him behind, Zhao Yan's heart is both sour and sweet, Huaifang, how can you say you don't love me with your appearance.

Zhao Yan only traced Xie Qing's eyebrows and eyes in detail, his heart was full of lingering and nostalgia, and the spring breeze lingered softly around his fingers.In the dream, he finally remembered what that lingering call was.No wonder he always felt that although it was very good there, something was always missing.Although his parents and elder brother let him linger, in the end there is a separation between yin and yang; he still has an unbreakable fate in the world and responsibilities that he must shoulder.Even if he doesn't want anything, he has to go back and fulfill that promise to feel at ease.How could he forget that when he fell asleep, he said to Xie Qing: Huai Fang, wait for me to come back.
