The battle outside the palace was a mountain of corpses and a sea of ??blood. Although the battle inside the palace was not as fierce as outside the palace, it never ended. Although it was the Forbidden Army who rebelled and caught Yang Guang off guard, when a dynasty falls, there are only a few loyal ministers who go against the trend and die.
Not long after Sima Dekan led his army into Xuanwu Gate, Zuo Qianniu Beishenlang general Dugu Kaiyuan also arrived with hundreds of people.
Dugu Kaiyuan is the third son of Dugu Luo, Duke of Zhao, the uncle of Yang Guang Guang, the third brother of Dugu Zuan, Duke of Shu, and the cousin of Yang Guang. Together with Yang Guang's nephew Yu Wenhao, they were appointed as the left and right Qianniu Preparatory Generals respectively. They were Yang Guang's most trusted people.
Dugu Kaiyuan's troops are palace soldiers and a branch of the palace guards. They usually use a thousand oxen to serve.
This army is the last defensive barrier around the emperor. As for the emperor's personal bodyguards, they were small in number, which meant they were able to guard against an assassin while also being able to rely on them. If the soldiers in the palace were killed, the emperor would basically have no chance of surviving.
When Dugu Kaiyuan saw the chaos in the palace, he immediately led his people to the greenhouse of the emperor's palace. At this time, the greenhouse of Yang Guang's palace was closed. Dugu Kaiyuan repeatedly asked to see him, but there was no answer.
Dugu Kaiyuan waited for more than half an hour. Seeing the noise outside getting closer and closer, he finally lost his patience and had to shout loudly: "Now that we have complete weapons, we can defeat the thieves. If the saint can personally face the enemy, , human relations will naturally be stable; otherwise, disaster is just around the corner. Please ask the saint to lead us to calm people's hearts and put an end to the chaos."
But in the end, no one responded. Dugu Kaiyuan had no choice but to see the thieves approaching, so he had to turn around to meet the enemy.
But what Dugu Kaiyuan didn't know was that Emperor Yang Guang was no longer in the palace, so he couldn't hear his invitation. Dugu Kaiyuan's loyalty had to be paid to the cold night and the last moment. Jiangdu Palace.
Sima Dekan led the main force to rush outside Yang Guang's greenhouse, and happened to encounter Dugu Kaiyuan. The battle between the two sides was about to break out.
Both parties are actually disciples of Guanzhong. Although their camps are different, they are both familiar with each other. Therefore, Dugu Kaiyuan sternly rebuked the rebels, and the rebels also persuaded these palace soldiers to surrender.
Dugu Kaiyuan¡¯s cousin Dugu Yanshou also loudly persuaded him to surrender.
Dugu Yanshou is the son of Dugu Tuo, the sixth uncle of Dugu Kaiyuan. Dugu Tuo is also a strange person. As the half-brother of Queen Dugu, he was punished by Yang Guang because of his greed for money. Then he became resentful and used witchcraft on the wife of Queen Dugu and Yang Su, the Duke of Yue.
" Even if the emperor's own mother was responsible for the witchcraft, the emperor would not tolerate it. So Dugutuo was sentenced to death by the court. Later, after Queen Dugu and her brother Dugu Zheng begged hard, Dugu Tuo was spared from death and died at home.
After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he commemorated his uncle and gave him a funeral ceremony. He gave posthumous gifts to Dr. Zhengyi and Dr. Yinqing Guanglu.
Yang Guang takes great care of his uncle's family, and he also values ??his little cousin Dugu Yanshou and entrusts him with important responsibilities. But Dugu Yanshou didn't appreciate it. His mother Yang was forced to become a nun, and his father was almost forced to death by Yang Jian. He was full of hatred for the Yang family. It's just that I couldn't do it before, so I kept dormant. This time Sima Dekan initiated the rebellion. After hearing the news, Dugu Yanshou immediately brought his own dry food and joined Sima Dekan's rebel organization.
Seeing Dugu Kaiyuan desperately resisting, Dugu Yanshou loudly persuaded: "Thirteenth brother, surrender, why bother working with Yang Guang, a foolish king? Think about how Yang Guang treated our Dugu family after he ascended the throne, think about the seventh uncle's Death, surrender."
ãá minus 7 5zw.c*om ãá. The rest of the people also called on their friends to persuade them to surrender.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Almost every family in Guanlong has relatives. At this time, everyone was surrounded by Sima Dekan's large army, and there was no way out. As long as Sima Dekan gave an order, they would definitely die.
????????????? However, the two sides were trying to persuade them to surrender, and the two sides had a good relationship. In order to survive, everyone had no choice but to borrow the donkey from the slope and turn against each other.
All the soldiers in the palace laid down their weapons and surrendered to the rebels.
At this time, he unexpectedly rushed forward cleverly and restrained Dugu Kaiyuan, who was still hesitating.
Dugu Kaiyuan struggled hard, but everyone had long regarded him as a stepping stone to promotion and wealth, and they refused to let him go. So he escorted Dugu Kaiyuan to Sima Dekan with a heavy responsibility.
At this time, Sima Dekan asked: "Dugu Kaiyuan, you are also from my Guanlong lineage. For the sake of the former Zhao Guogong (Dugu Xin), I ask you again whether you will surrender or not."
Dugu Kaiyuan didn¡¯t speak.
At this time, Dugu Yanshou pushed him and said loudly: "Thirteenth brother, don't be confused. Yang Guang is not worthy of your burial."
Dugu Kaiyuan struggled, and finally said: "That's it, that's all, my fate is like this, I don't dare to resist the general anymore. Please also ask the general to send me away from Jiangdu, from then on I returned to Guanzhong, closed my doors and closed my doors, and no longer cared about worldly affairs. "
Dugu Kaiyuan actually surrendered in disguise, but he really didn't like Sima Dekan and his party, so he would rather give up his official position than hang out with Sima Dekan and his party anymore.
Dugu Kaiyuan¡¯s cousin Li Yuan was in Guanzhong, and Dugu Kaiyuan was going to join him.
The fact that Dugu Kaiyuan was not loyal to Yang Guang showed that he was not everyone's mortal enemy. Sima Dekan didn't have to offend the entire Dugu family because of one Dugu Kaiyuan, so he let Dugu Kaiyuan go.
Without Dugu Kaiyuan¡¯s resistance, the entire greenhouse has no defense.
Sima Dekan entered the greenhouse surrounded by everyone.
The greenhouse is a magical palace designed by Huang Gun for the emperor. Staying in this palace, no matter it is summer or winter, it is like spring all year round, and the flowers and plants can remain in full bloom, which is really amazing.
But Sima Dekan was afraid of Yang Guang. Every time he came here before, he was always trembling with fear. This was the first time he felt so relaxed.
At this time, Pei Qantong also led his troops to the greenhouse, and they entered the palace together.
But upon entering the palace, everyone found the body of Pei Qantong's confidant Chen Bin lying in the palace, but surprisingly, the emperor was not in the palace.
Sima Dekan was shocked and immediately sent soldiers to search inside and outside the greenhouse, but as expected, neither the emperor nor anyone else around him was there.
Sima Dekan was full of fear. He knew very well that once the emperor escaped, they and others would definitely die, so he pointed at Pei Qantong and said angrily: "What's going on? Why did you let him run away? Do you want us like this?" Will the whole family be wiped out?"
Pei Qantong was also confused for a while, and he didn't know the situation.
Chen Bin is Pei Qantong¡¯s confidant. He is loyal and capable. Logically speaking, he shouldn¡¯t be.
Everyone doesn¡¯t know what to do. This situation is not in everyone¡¯s plan.
Mi He Mi. Pei Qantong reacted quickly and said immediately: "Looking at this scene, the emperor should have discovered something, killed Chen Bin and escaped. But we don't have to worry, the entire Jiangdu Palace is surrounded by our people, and the birds and beasts are also If you can't get out, the emperor accidentally escaped, so he shouldn't be able to escape far. The general and I will take him in and search everywhere, and we will definitely find the emperor."
Sima Dekan's face was extremely gloomy, but he had no other good way. He had to agree with Pei Qantong's opinion and led people from room to room to search for the emperor
