On this night, Li Xin didn't rest for a quarter of an hour, he first went to Chen Guogong's mansion and found Zhonglang General Ye Luan.

After talking about the matter once, Ye Luan's face changed greatly, and he immediately took Li Xin to see her husband Ye Sheng, and did not hesitate to wake up the septuagenarian from his sleep.

The lean Ye Guogong walked out wearing a single coat, he just glanced at Li Xin lightly, and then asked, "King Wei is going to have an accident?" ”

At such a late hour, this is the only thing worth waking up his grandfather.

Li Xin hugged Ye Sheng with his fists, bowed his head and said, "Old man, His Royal Highness King Wei has made up his mind to do it tomorrow night." ”

"Tomorrow night"

Ye Sheng frowned slightly: "The old man heard that you were originally scheduled for the New Year's Festival, why did you suddenly advance so long?" ”

Li Xin gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty is most likely"

Ye Guogong nodded in understanding, and said lightly: "Then it's not strange, only if there is chaos in the palace, your chance is relatively large." ”

The white-haired old man turned his head to look at Ye Lan, and said in a deep voice: "Ye Lan listens to the order." ”

The Ye family is a military rule of law, and the children of the family serve Ye Sheng as the main general, and even Ye Mao, the prince of the small country, makes mistakes on weekdays, and he is also serving with a military stick, at this time, this Ye Guogong began to give orders.

Ye Lan respectfully half-knelt down.

"Ye Lan is here."

"The Ye family has a total of more than 1,300 people, all of whom are led by you to assist His Royal Highness the King of Wei in achieving things, just remember one thing, when doing things, you don't care about success or failure in your heart, and you are determined to move forward."

When Ye Sheng entered the capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he never thought about success or defeat in his heart, he just spelled out one breath and rushed in one go.

Without this spirit, it would not have been possible to do this in the first place.

Ye Lan bowed his head respectfully: "Ye Lan has an order." ”

After that, he stood up from the ground, turned his head to his father and hugged his fists and said, "Father, the family is not fully armoured."

In this era, civil weapons are strictly controlled, and swords, which have low lethality, can also be allowed to be worn by scholars, but knives, as well as long-handled weapons, bows, crossbows, and armor all need to be reported to the government for the record, otherwise they are private weapons.

Although the Chen Guogong Mansion is a top general, it only has three hundred sets of armor, and the Jingzhao Mansion does not allow the Ye family to have more weapons and armor.

The old man looked indifferent, went back to his room and took out a rusty key and threw it in Ye Lan's hand.

"There is a private vault in the backyard, which contains a thousand sets of armor and weapons."

Speaking of this, Ye Guogong smiled: "When the old man came back from the north, he was worried that the first emperor might kill me, so he prepared these things at home, so there is still some room for struggle when things come to an end, I never thought that these things were not useful thirty years ago, but they will be useful thirty years later." ”

Whether there is armor on the battlefield or not, it is the difference between the abyss.

In the era of cold weapons, a salvo is often fired before the battle, and these arrows fly a certain distance, and the lethality will not be too great, and they can be blocked with armor, but if there is no armor, they will be cut down like straw.

At this time, Li Xincai was convinced by this thin old man, and he said to Ye Sheng: "Old man, tomorrow afternoon, Yulin Wei will break into pieces and enter Yongle Fang, and when it comes to the evening, we will start to work." ”

"At that time, Yong'anmen was the handle of Yulinwei, we could go straight to the outer city of the imperial city, as long as we entered the inner city, the matter was done!"

Ye Sheng waved his hand lazily.

"The old man is over seventy years old, and he can't live for a few years, how to do it, how to do it, it's all a matter for you young people, go yourself, don't bother me."

As he spoke, the old man put his hands behind his back and went back to his yard to tend to the flowers and plants.

Li Xin turned his head to look at Ye Luan.

Ye Xuan was silent for a while, and finally spoke: "I will go to the Wei Wangfu to see His Royal Highness the King of Wei now." ”

Li Xin nodded.

"I'm going to go to the Yulinwei camp and start counting the roster."

It was close to midnight, and the two of them were once again in the night.

On this quiet night, most of the people in the capital fell asleep, but there were still many people running in the shadows, making this quiet city seem murderous.

The next day.

On the eleventh day of the eighteenth year of Chengde, the Son of Heaven finally couldn't support it.

In the afternoon, he fell on the bed, and the doctors of the Tai Hospital had no results in diagnosis and treatment, and they all knelt at the gate of Changle Palace tremblingly.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was furious and ordered that all quacks be killed.

Chen Ju persuaded the prince, saying that His Majesty had already explained, so don't be embarrassed by these imperial doctors.

Near the end of the evening, the son of Chengde, who had held the country for 19 years, finally came to his death.

Chen Ju knelt beside the bed of the Son of Heaven, looked at the prince who was guarding beside him, and wept: "Your Highness, summon a few princes into the palace and send them to Your Majesty."

The crown prince also burst into tears and choked up: "Come on, pass a few princes into the palace." ”

Several small eunuchs immediately rushed down to give orders.

The youngest of the 10th and 11th princes, who were not yet sixteen years old and still lived in the palace, were the first to arrive, kneeling in front of the bed of the Son of Heaven and crying.

The other princes all lived in Yongle Fang, and several eunuchs soon arrived at their mansion and conveyed the prince's edict.

Zhao Wang Ji Chong, at this time had already extinguished the idea of competing for the prince, after hearing the news, his eyes were slightly red, he staggered to the backyard, and rode his horse towards the direction of the palace.

After receiving the news, Qi Wang Ji Huan's face was expressionless.

"Go back first, and the king will enter the palace at once."

After he changed into a formal attire, he dared to go in the direction of the palace.

At this time, he also knew in his heart that his chances of winning the heir were very small, and he offended the prince, and when the prince ascended the throne, it was when he was unlucky, so he was quite depressed.

And when the eunuch arrived at the palace of King Wei, His Royal Highness the King of Wei trembled, waved his hand and said: "This king knows, so he will enter the palace." ”

He turned around and went back to his study, and in the study, Li Xin, Hou Jingde, and Ye Lan were all there.

His Royal Highness King Wei's voice was hoarse.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my father is dying."

The three people in the room all sighed slowly.

The Son of Heaven is a benevolent monarch, the kind of benevolent monarch who is very popular, and at this time, the Son of Heaven is about to collapse, and they feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts.

Li Xin looked up at the sky outside the window, and secretly said a pity in his heart.

"It hasn't been night at this time, otherwise Yong'anmen is our people watching, and those princes will die under Yong'anmen."

In fact, the prince is in the inner palace, and it doesn't matter if the other two princes die or not, the key depends on how to enter the inner palace.

His Royal Highness King Wei took a deep breath and said in a hoarse voice: "Everyone, I'm going to enter the palace, and the plan will go on as usual tonight, and I'll start working at the right time!" ”

Li Xin took a step forward and said, "Your Highness, will I go into the palace with you?" ”

His Royal Highness King Wei hesitated for a while, then looked at Ye Lan and Hou Jingde, and finally shook his head slowly.

"The outside affairs still have to be coordinated by Brother Xin'er, and Brother Xin'er will stay outside the palace."

Li Xin nodded and reminded: "Your Highness remembers the hour, and when you arrive at the time, you will find a way to hide, don't be caught by the prince, otherwise we will be successful, and we will also draw water with a bamboo basket." ”

King Wei nodded slowly.

"Don't worry, there is still Dong Cheng in the palace."
