In the face of Luo Yi's ridicule, Empress Changsun just replied with disdain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Luo Yi handed the blood-dripping sword forward a little more, and the blade almost touched the queen. The eldest grandson grasped the blade of the sword with his hand, and then pounced forward.

No one can defend against it.

The sharp sword pierced directly into the queen's chest.

The blade of the sword pierced out from under the ribs, and the tip of the sword dripped blood, and the red blood stained the queen's clothes.

Luo Yi was stunned on the spot.

When he pointed his sword at the queen just now, he did feel a sense of refreshment, but he didn't think about killing the queen. He didn't dare to kill the queen, Li Yuan said that he couldn't hurt him, so he didn't dare to kill.

"Not me."

"She grabbed my sword and stabbed it herself."

Luo Yi shouted loudly.

One of the eldest grandson's hands hung weakly.

Three years ago, when her husband left the Qin Palace's palace for Xuanwumen, she called her children together and put a sword in her lap.

At that time, she had made up her mind that if her husband failed in Xuanwumen, he would not wait for them to do it, and would take her children down to Huangquan to meet her husband.

"Queen Mother!"

Li Tai and Li Lizhi turned their heads and ran back, crying and screaming as they ran.

Yang also hugged the queen, "Niangniang." ”

Li Yuan looked at this sudden scene, and couldn't help but dilate his pupils. He lost his mind for a moment, and then sighed, "Eldest grandson, why are you so troubled, I said I wouldn't hurt you." ”

The eldest grandson smiled.

"You're doomed."

After saying that, the queen closed her eyes and tilted her head to one side.

"Someone, immediately upload the imperial doctor." Li Yuan shouted.

Of the five hundred forbidden troops, less than half of them were left, and they were all furious when they saw the queen commit suicide. A forbidden soldier who had already put down his sword pulled out his musket and pointed it at the person in front of him, which was a shot.

The rest of the forbidden army screamed and pounced.

Luo Yi's sword was still stuck in the queen's body, he knocked down a forbidden soldier from a single shield, snatched his sword and burst into the crowd, slashing left and right, killing several people in a row.

The forbidden army, loyal to the emperor, died one after another.

Eventually, there was silence.

In front of the Zhenguan Palace, the corpses are piled up like a mountain.

East Palace.

Under the Zhongshu Gate, the Hanlin Academy, and the Privy Council, the three major yamen temporarily worked in the East Palace, and one after another internal and external edicts were issued.

"Your Highness, another battalion of forbidden troops has arrived at the order." Liu Hongji's report,

The news got everyone excited.

The Prince's order, the Privy Council's order, and the military talisman of the military department are still useful, and in the chaos, these represent the imperial court and orthodoxy. Many generals and lieutenants of the forbidden army quickly came after receiving the order.

At present, the East Palace has gathered more than 5,000 soldiers and horses, plus the families of various provinces, etc., at this time there are barely 8,000 people in the East Palace.

"General Qu Tu, we now have eight thousand people, can we go to Ziwei Palace?" The prince asked. The people who went to Ziwei Palace to pick up the queen have not returned yet, and more and more news indicates that the Emperor Taishang has the support of many people, they have gone to Ziwei Palace, and the queen may be trapped.

"Your Highness, now that the situation outside is unknown, Ziwei Palace may have fallen into the hands of the Emperor Taishang, and it is too risky for us to leave the East Palace now. We should stick to the East Palace, mobilize as many soldiers from the north and south as possible to come to protect it, and then call on the soldiers and horses in other places. ”

It will definitely be too late to wait for the emperor.

The Emperor Taishang's side had a plan for a long time, and he attracted too many nobles, nobles, and bureaucrats who were dissatisfied with the new policy, and the capital was empty during this time, and many forbidden troops secretly defected.

Those forbidden troops of the Daming Palace, who were supposed to guard the Emperor Taishang, most of them defected. This situation would never have been possible.

However, although the prince was caught off guard, he also had his own advantages. Anyway, although Emperor Taishang was once an emperor, he was a former emperor after all.

He was restored and received the support of many people, but the center of the court was still on the side of the prince.

In this chaotic time, the orders of the central several major yamen are sometimes very important.

"But the queen mother." Cheng Qian said worriedly.

"The queen will be fine, even if the Emperor Taishang occupies Ziwei Palace, it is impossible to be rude to the queen." Anyway, this is also the infighting of the family. At the beginning of the Xuanwumen Change, the emperor did not kill the crown prince and the king of Qi, nor did he kill the emperor, so this time, they should not kill the eldest grandson empress.

"Your Highness."

Ma Zhou brought someone over, "This is the head of the Ding sect of the Zhao State Mansion, who is strong in martial arts, let him stay by His Royal Highness's side and protect His Highness's safety closely." ”

Cheng Qian knew Ke Qing and knew that this person was indeed a master of the Zhao State Mansion.

"Ke Jiaotou, why are you in the capital?"

"Your Royal Highness, the mistress went to Wushan for a vacation, let me stay and take care of the mansion, I heard that there was chaos in the palace, and I escorted Ma Xianggong's family over."

Cheng Qian sighed, "It would be nice if Taibao was here." ”

Ke Qing said, "Zhao Guogong is now in Liaodong, but His Royal Highness can give Zhao Guogong an edict and ask him to transfer troops to the king." ”

"Far water quenches the thirst of the near." Cheng Qian shook his head.

"It is only three days and three nights for the fast horse to Liaodong to give the order, if Zhao Guogong comes quickly, he may arrive in half a month."

"Can we keep it for half a month?" Cheng Qian asked Ma Zhou.

"Half a month, for sure." Ma Zhou replied, after all, the East Palace is an independent palace, and there are so many soldiers and horses guarding it, even if the Emperor Taishang occupies Ziwei Palace, there will not be many soldiers in his hands.

"Then I'll give the edict to King Taibao Qin immediately, and Ke Jiaotou will run it himself."

Ke Qing hesitated, "It's better for me to stay by His Highness's side to protect him, in fact, I don't know whether to say a word or not." ”

"You say."

"Your Highness, I thought that in the current situation, it was not safe for Your Highness to stay in the East Palace. It is better for His Royal Highness to disguise, while the East Palace has not yet been besieged, and the capital has not completely fallen into the hands of the Emperor, His Royal Highness can disguise himself and be escorted out of the city by me. ”

"Out of town? At this time? ”

Cheng Qian didn't think about this at all, in his opinion, he was the prince of the prison country, and now the emperor is restoring and plotting rebellion, it is his dereliction of duty, he should stick to the East Palace.

Ma Zhou thought about it for a while, and also felt that Ke Qing's words made sense.

"Your Highness, the minister also thinks that Ke Jiaotou's method is good. With him, it doesn't take many people to take His Highness out of Beijing. ”

"But as soon as I'm gone, what will I do here? What about those soldiers and officials who are loyal to my father and loyal to the Tang Dynasty? ”

"Your Highness, you can use a stand-in in the East Palace, which can also stabilize people's hearts."

This is indeed a way, the crown prince leaves the capital, so what if the emperor controls the capital?

Cheng Qian shook his head.

"No!"

"I'm not leaving, I'm going to stay here with the soldiers until my father and the Taibao come."

"Your Highness." Ma Zhou persuaded again.

"Needless to say, it's decided."

Liu Hongji, who was wearing armor, came over, "Your Highness, the rebels are coming to the East Palace." ”

Cheng Qian's face changed slightly, "Did you come so quickly?" ”

Ma Zhou said in a big way, "Don't be afraid, the soldiers will block, and the water will flood." ”
