"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 532
"My lord, His Royal Highness has led the troops towards the imperial city."
In a spacious house covering an area of ??more than 20 acres in the southern district of Wangdu, a middle-aged man shrouded in black was kneeling on the ground, reporting to an extraordinary old man.
"Fourth Highness is not reconciled after all."
Looking at the hazy drizzle outside the window, the old man couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
The old emperor was bedridden, and several powerful princes were fighting each other openly and secretly.
Now that the peace of victory is gradually leaning towards the prince, the fourth prince doesn't want to sit still, so he still makes a move.
"Master, who shall we help?" the man in black asked for instructions.
The old man shook his head: "The situation is not clear now, let our people not act rashly, just wait and see."
"No¡ª¡ª"
After the man in black responded, he immediately left the room.
In a tall mansion in the north of the capital city, someone also reported the situation to the owner of the mansion.
"It seems that the sky is about to change. I'm afraid the king will bleed like a river."
The battle between the princes has turned from the dark to the bright, and the patriarch of the family is also worried.
"Strengthen the guards of the mansion, it is estimated that the city will be in chaos for a while."
There are also wealthy nobles who ordered to strengthen the security of the mansion to prevent it from being robbed by others.
"The fourth brother has always been nice to me, this time I have to support the fourth brother no matter what."
Some prince came quickly to get closer to the fourth prince, and when he learned that the fourth prince led troops to the imperial city, he didn't want to sit by and watch the show.
"Hurry up and order the soldiers and horses of the Qi mansion, let's go to the imperial city and assist the fourth brother."
"No!"
"The fourth prince dared to risk the disobedience of the world to force the palace. We should punish such rebellious officials and thieves."
Some important ministers who supported the prince worried that the fourth prince would be liquidated after he ascended the throne, so they gathered their own strength and rushed to the imperial city.
The rain in the royal capital city is still falling, but the city is also undercurrents, which seems extremely unsettled.
Some of the rich and powerful families living in the royal capital are going to sit on the sidelines and wait for the situation to become clear before standing in line.
There are also some radicals who want to fight for fame and wealth, and they have already summoned their private soldiers to drive out of the mansion in a mighty manner.
Although the imperial guards are under the control of the prince, and there is a trusted general Hu Ziyang guarding the imperial guards.
But at this critical moment, General Hu Ziyang was not in the capital city, but was inspecting the Third Corps of the Imperial Guard in Xilin Mansion.
Although most of the imperial guards are the prince's henchmen, some of them are held by the children of aristocratic families.
Now that the fourth prince is fighting with the crown prince, the aristocratic family is also involved, so they can't help but stand in line.
When the fourth prince led his troops to the imperial city, the imperial guards stationed in the capital were also affected.
Those who supported the prince and the fourth prince were also gearing up and gathered one after another, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
At this moment, the Imperial City Garrison has been taken over by the Investigation Division under Yan Jing's command. The Investigation Division soldiers in brocade clothes have drawn their swords and swords, and are ready for battle.
The Investigation Department is just a newly established department among the departments of the Far Eastern Dynasty.
? At the beginning, it was specially established by Prime Minister Zuo Wang Huchen in order to overthrow the Yang family of the military family and others.
Since Yan Jing took charge of the investigation department, the power of the investigation department has also expanded rapidly, absorbing three religions and nine schools, the number of people once exceeded 100,000, and spread all over the provinces of the dynasty.
Now there are also nearly ten thousand people in the investigation department in the capital city. As Yan Jing's direct descendants, the prince's hawks and dogs, no one dares to mess with them.
Now the crown prince has three powerful ministers, namely Yan Jing who is in charge of the investigation department, the left prime minister Wang Huchen, and the general Hu Ziyang.
In front of Wang Huchen and General Hu Ziyang, Yan Jing can only be regarded as a junior who rose later.
Facing Wang Huchen who is in charge of the government and Hu Ziyang who is in charge of the army, Yan Jing is in third place, so he is naturally dissatisfied.
Yan Jing expanded the investigation department. The investigation department now not only has its own prison, but also has armed forces, which can be said to be very powerful.
But Yan Jing still wanted to contaminate the army. This time, taking advantage of Hu Ziyang's absence in the capital, he intentionally sued the imperial guards for being black, which caused the prince to distrust the imperial guards at this critical moment.
Yan Jing's people replaced the imperial guards and took up the task of guarding the imperial city temporarily, and they also wanted to suppress the rebellion this time.In the process, obtain greater meritorious service.
"Fourth Highness, they have already prepared."
When the fourth prince arrived at the imperial city with the hastily gathered troops, he found that the soldiers and horses of the investigation department were already in full formation, and the fourth prince's complexion became extremely ugly.
On the tower of the imperial city, Yan Jing, who is in charge of the investigation department, was dressed in a red robe, looking at the black army outside the city gate, he also had a sneer on his face.
In fact, Yan Jing had already discovered the conspiracy of the fourth prince and others, but he had not reported it to the higher authorities.
He chose this opportunity to force the Fourth Prince to take action because he wanted to step on the counter-insurgency and go one step further.
"Your Highness, I don't know what you can do to lead so many soldiers here in the middle of the night?"
Yan Jing leaned on the battlements with both hands, saw the fourth prince riding on a horse under the city, and asked in a drawn-out tone on purpose.
"Yan Jing, if you are sensible, open the city gate quickly, otherwise, once the city is broken, today will be your death day next year!"
A child of a military family was also quite upset with Yan Jing. Seeing Yan Jing at the top of the city, he sternly shouted.
"Oh, I was scared to death. I wonder who it is. It turns out to be the boy of General Pingkou's family."
"Your father's bones are not cold, you are not at home to observe the funeral, what are you calling here?"
"My father was killed by you, and I have come to avenge my father!"
"I'm right here, come here." Yan Jing sneered.
The child of the aristocratic family was also very angry, and immediately bent his bow and set an arrow, and with a bang, an arrow went straight to the top of the city, almost passing Yan Jing's head.
"Hiss!"
Yan Jing didn't expect the son of General Pingkou to be so powerful, so he also took a breath and hurriedly hid behind the shield.
"People outside the city listen, you wait for this to be treason, put down your weapons quickly, or you will die without a place to die when the army arrives!" Yan Jing shouted while hiding behind the shield.
"Your Highness, what should I do?"
Seeing that Yan Jing at the top of the city was unwilling to open the city gate, and was still talking nonsense there, everyone's eyes turned to the fourth prince.
"Siege the city and eliminate the rebellion!" The fourth prince ordered coldly.
"No!"
"Siege!"
There are already more than 3,000 soldiers and horses gathered under the command of the fourth prince, and they are all private soldiers of wealthy families. They are well-equipped and have strong combat effectiveness.
Following the order of the fourth prince, they shouted and launched an attack on the imperial city.
"Defend the prince, defend the imperial city!"
Seeing the fourth prince's desperate order to attack, Yan Jing didn't dare to be careless, and ordered his soldiers to fight.
"Shhhhhhh¡ª¡ª"
The soldiers and horses of the Investigation Division bent their bows and set arrows, and the sharp arrows poured down towards the city like raindrops.
"Puff puff!"
There was a cloud of blood mist among the family's private soldiers who were shouting and charging, and people kept wailing and fell into a pool of blood.
The fourth prince and the others came out in a hurry without carrying the ladder to attack the city, and on the way they tore down a few pillars to use as knockers.
Braving the rain of arrows, the private soldiers of the family quickly rushed to the gate of the imperial city carrying the pillars, and began to slam into the gate violently.
