Late at night in the dead of winter, with snow falling all over the sky, there was no one on the long street.
The snow had been falling for several hours and had accumulated more than an inch deep. When the horse's hooves stepped on it, there was no extra movement except for the crunching sound. Fu Yu took the lead, followed by Xu Chaozong.
The strong horses walked through the snow, and when they arrived at Zhuque Street, they saw the towering Danfeng Gate in the distance, which was tightly closed and heavily guarded.
The blazing torches on the city wall were hidden in the wind and snow.
Xu Chaozong glanced at it from a distance, then went around, walked westward for a while, then turned north, and reined in his horse behind Zuoyintai Gate.
¡ª¡ªAlthough the imperial army guarding the palace is not strong enough, there are more than ten thousand people. The guards of Prince Rui's Mansion have limited capabilities. Even if Fu Yu wants to help, it is impossible to send troops all the way to help. So from the beginning, Xu Chaozong listened. Fu Yu's suggestion was to enter the palace quietly and target the internal organs, trying not to disturb the imperial guards stationed outside.
The three gates in the south are heavily guarded. They are the cronies of Emperor Xiping. It is extremely difficult to intervene without alerting the enemy.
???????????? There are Beiya generals stationed in the city at the north gate, so they can respond promptly if there is a slight disturbance. If the commotion is too big, it will be difficult. After discussing with Fu Yu, Xu Chaozong focused on the palace gates on the east and west sides. After several days of hard work, he finally bribed Cui Fu, the general in charge of the Zuoyinguang Gate guard.
Tonight, Cui Fu was on duty. He was fully armored and braved the wind and snow to patrol the city gate himself.
Seeing Xu Chaozong and Fu Yu coming over, he immediately clasped his fists and saluted.
Xu Chaozong stood up and dismounted, only saying that Emperor Xiping had sent an oral order to summon him to the palace to report something. It was an urgent military situation and asked Cui Fu to open the door and let him into the palace.
Cui Fu obeyed the order, but the general who was stationed with him was hesitant. When he tried to stop him, Cui Fu scolded him sternly, saying that King Rui was of high status. Since he was ordered to enter the palace, how could he delay? If he missed something important, who would Dare to face this. The responsibility of guarding this gate fell on Cui Fu. He insisted in anger. Others joined the imperial army for glory and self-preservation. Who dared to disobey orders?
Since there were only two people at the palace gate, they opened the city gate and let King Rui and Fu Yu in.
Quietly passing through the city, evading the tightest defense of the Forbidden Army, palace people in disguise gradually gathered around them.
Because Emperor Xiping had been recuperating in the Penglai Hall after his serious illness, Xu Chaozong happened to avoid the heavily guarded Nanya and several important reorganization places and went straight to the Penglai Hall. With Fu Yu and his entourage escorting him, as well as the tricks he had done beforehand, even if he encountered trouble on the way, he could quickly get rid of it. The sound of the wind and snow was drowned in the cold wind and snow at the end of the twelfth lunar month, and no one else was alerted.
It was not until he was approaching Penglai Palace that the news that King Rui broke into the palace was sent to the King of England.
¡¡
At this moment, the Penglai Hall is full of people.
Emperor Xiping had been ill for several years. After becoming seriously ill, he lay on his bed without seeing the sun all day long. His face was horribly pale, and he was also extremely thin, almost emaciated. The hall was filled with charcoal basins that were very hot, and the faint aroma of ambergris mixed with the fishy and bitter taste of the medicinal soup permeated every corner. The old emperor's eyes were sunken, his eyes were blurred, his lips moved, and his weak breath turned into intermittent words¡ª¡ª
"ChaozongChaozong"
The extremely weak sound could hardly be heard unless it was close to the couch.
Queen Sun sat beside him, her eyebrows lowered and her hands folded, tears in her eyes as if she hadn't heard them.
Concubine Zhao and the King of England stood by the side and turned a deaf ear.
After being seriously ill and comatose for several days, everyone could see that the emperor's end was approaching, and he would no longer be able to cling to the throne and give up his power as before. Emperor Xiping apparently accepted his fate. After being in coma for several days, he finally woke up at noon and summoned several close associates into the palace.
The matter of Grand Master Xu had already reached his ears through the mouth of Concubine Zhao. Concubine Zhao had always been favored and was very good at gossiping. She didn't say a word good to the Xu family and even added jealousy by saying that this matter would harm the reputation of the royal family and arouse public resentment. It was boiling and there was a lot of discussion. Emperor Xiping was originally partial to the King of England, but now that he could not protect himself, he could no longer care about his friendship with the Grand Master. Seeing that this was the case, he drafted a decree to pass the throne to the King of England. However, it was a father and son scene in the end. He had often fallen asleep a while ago, but now that he knew he would die soon, he braced himself up and ordered people to invite King Rui into the palace so that father and son could see each other for the last time.
How could Concubine Zhao and her son be happy?
The matter of the crown prince has been pending for two years. Although there is a decree and the dust has settled, before the British king inherits the throne, if Xu Chaozong enters the palace and interferes, it will only increase the uncertainty. Therefore, when the eunuch who delivered the order was ordered to leave Penglai Hall, he was stopped by the maid next to Concubine Zhao, blocking the news.
The emperor was seriously ill, and the throne would become the king's tomorrow. How dare the young eunuch dare to disobey, so he hid quietly.
Emperor Xiping held his breath and waited for a long time in vain. His breath gradually became weak, but he refused to give up and continued intermittently.There were dark red traces on the temple, and the torches illuminated the blue bricks in front of the palace. Someone hurriedly ran out in the darkness, trying to call for reinforcements from the outer imperial guards. However, they were shot down with a powerful crossbow by the disguised eunuch who had already ambushed him. He couldn't even take half a step. Escape from Penglai Palace. With the sound of gold and silver, the Fu family's secret guards protected Xu Chaozong with sweaty palms in the middle, blocking the attack of the imperial guards on the outside¡ª¡ª
They have long been accustomed to using a small number to fight against a large number and fighting to the death.
Du He and several leaders each rushed towards the Forbidden Army generals with swords, while Fu Yu stood in the dark and watched the fight with cold eyes.
The imperial power of Wei Wei, with its palaces and palaces, was originally supreme and majestic.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out] out of control and incompetent, unable to deal with the turmoil in the world, just fighting for power and profit and scheming against each other in this small area.
He glanced at Xu Chaozong who was hiding among the guards, and then turned his attention to the King of England.
That person obviously saw that the situation was dangerous and intended to hide in the palace.
"This is not a good thing. In order to seize the throne, he did not hesitate to collude with Wei Jian, freely promised land in several states, and sent thousands of people under Wei Jian's power to be exploited by evil officials. In order to seek power and position, he only focused on the small space in the court, took bribes and looted money to win over important ministers, hired traitors, fought with his brothers, and framed each other. He wasted no time in caring about the plight of the people, and had no intention of returning the government to a clean state.
The two brothers have been noble and noble since they were young. They don¡¯t know the sufferings of the world. Whoever hands the throne falls will not be a blessing to the people.
But in the current situation, the Fu family does not have enough prestige and can only stabilize the Yongning and Xuanzhou areas, and it is not suitable to replace them.
His eyes were cold and his sword was unsheathed.
The dark figure jumped into the air, and with the help of the palace lantern beside the corridor, it pounced on the palace door like an eagle.
The Forbidden Army general who was attracted by Imperial Concubine Zhao only saw a huge black shadow rushing towards him in the air, as powerful as a tiger or a wolf, extremely fast. In a hurry, he gave up the fighting Fu family guards and risked his life to save her. The sword pointed straight at her. Take Fu Yu's vitals.
Fu Yu ducked sideways, but the sword in his hand flew out, and with the power of thunder, it pierced the King of England's back.
The King of England had only half-stepped across the threshold when he was struck by the long sword. Wrapped up by the huge force, he jumped forward half a step. When the long sword stabbed into the gold bricks on the floor, the hilt trembled slightly, and the King of England's body slowly slid down. Before he could groan, he fell to the ground and died.
Concubine Zhao has been living in the palace for half her life, relying solely on conspiracy and calculation. How has she ever seen anything like this?
Seeing her son lying lifeless on the ground, she was stunned for a moment before she realized what she was doing, and rushed towards him with a loud cry.
In the palace, Emperor Xiping was frightened when he heard the war outside. Empress Sun was left without the strength to restrain a chicken, and several important ministers had been caring for them for too long. It was okay to fight against Taishi Xu and others on weekdays, but how could she dare to go to the martial arts? They burrowed into the pile, each listening to the noise in panic. After a long while, Xu Chaozong was seen running into the palace with his body covered in blood. He knelt down in front of Emperor Xiping and said shamelessly: "Father, my rescuer is too late!"
Fu Yu stood behind the pillar coldly, looking at this puppet who had neither capable civil servants nor military commanders. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
