Chapter 1134: Palace Change
The inner court of the Taichu Palace, the palace of the wind.
Since Wu Zetian fell ill, this palace has been terrifyingly quiet. The ailing Empress could not hear the slightest noise, and even the slightest hint of a socked maid entering her chamber would make the Empress furious.
The result is a head on the ground.
So everyone was in danger, and the palace attendants who served Wu Zetian did not dare to wear any more ornaments. Everyone is light and light-footed, and they are about to practice the silent light skills of landing.
But today, there was a loud sound of golden drums outside the Guanfeng Palace, people shouted and horses neighed, and everyone in the Guanfeng Hall screamed and wolves ran, and it became a mess.
Wu Zetian, who was in a drowsy sleep, was awakened, but she did not get angry.
If she couldn't guess what was going on in such a situation now, then her fifty years in this palace could be regarded as a wasted mess.
"Easy! Zhang Yizhi! β
Wu Zetian shouted a few times, and Zhang Yizhi ran in from outside the room in disheveled clothes and knelt in front of Wu Zetian, "Your Majesty, it's not good, it's not good, it's not good!" β
Wu Zetian sat on the bed with his hands propped up, his gray hair and old age were fully revealed, and he finally became what an octogenarian should look like.
She looked at Zhang Yizhi, and was in no mood to investigate which palace maid he was fooling around with, but said lightly: "Who rebelled?" β
"Prince, Prince...... Wu Sansi ...... Probably, possibly Princess Taiping! Zhang Yizhi's unruly nonsense was trembling all over.
Wu Zetian took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Princess Taiping, it's impossible." β
"Your Majesty, what do you care about Princess Taiping at this point? β¦β¦ Run for your life! Zhang Yizhi shouted, "The rebels are about to be killed, and the few shooters and eunuchs at the gate of the main hall of the Guanfeng Hall will not be able to resist for a while!" β
"How can the Emperor of the Ninety-Five Majesty of the Emperor run for his life!" Wu Zetian snorted coldly, "Those few unscrupulous people dare to rebel!" I...... Cough!! β
Wu Zetian coughed violently, coughing so much that everyone fell down, curled up in a ball and couldn't stand up.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......" Zhang Yizhi was frightened and did not dare to step forward.
After a long time, the shouts of killing outside the hall were closer, and the sound of horses' hooves and the screams of the palace maids when they were slashed and killed could be faintly heard.
Wu Zetian, who was coughing so out of place, finally stopped coughing and sat up again, "Come on, change clothes." β
No one answered, and most of the palace people fled. Only one Zhang Yizhi was left, still kneeling in front of the dragon bed.
"Someone, change clothes!" Wu Zetian drank.
Still no one paid attention, only to hear a trembling footsteps outside the dormitory.
With such heavy footsteps, it must be a general in armor coming.
Wu Zetian let out a long sigh, the big thing is over!
"Yi Zhi, you run for your life!"
"Your Majesty, the minister has nowhere to escape!" Zhang Yizhi cried, "Your Majesty, the minister is here to change your clothes." As long as Your Majesty can stand up, there is nothing to fear from this group of thieves! β
"It's useless." Wu Zetian looked ahead in a daze, his eyes were already empty, "At this point, they have all dared to kill the king." β
"Huh!?" Zhang Yizhi was dumbfounded
At this moment, a powerful voice came from outside the dormitory: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yizhi is rebelling, and the ministers are guarding the side of the Qing monarch!" β
"Your Majesty, it's Yulin General Jinghui!" Zhang Yizhi cried, "It's over, we're done!" Even the Yulin Army rebelled! β
Wu Zetian raised his head and let out an extremely long sigh.
"Heyβ"
A voice came from outside the dormitory again, looking much more elegant, "Your Majesty, Zhang Yizhi imprisoned the God Emperor and disrupted the country without authority, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military jointly issued a petition to punish this thief." Please hand over this thief to Your Majesty, so that the head of this thief can be revealed to the government and the opposition, calm the anger of the people, and calm the world! β
Zhang Yizhi rolled into the corner of the wall and rolled into a ball, a burst of urine rolled in, and the whole body was wet.
"Zong Chuke, I have never treated you badly. How can this be the case today? Wu Zetian finally raised a trace of strength and said a word to the outside.
There was a small commotion outside.
The old tiger is not defeated, and the voice of the empress has been a symbol of supreme power for so many years. Everyone will reflex when they hear her voice, and a trace of awe and fear emanates from the bottom of their hearts.
The crown prince Li Xian's reaction was the strongest, he heard the empress's voice and flinched vigorously, and his son-in-law Wang Tongjiao hugged him to death, but he didn't let him escape.
"Prince, hurry up and say something!" Zong Chuke tried his best to pull Li Xian, "The final decision is made at the critical moment, but it's up to you!" β
Li Xian was trembling like chaff all over his body, and whispered: "The God Emperor is still here, who dares to make a mistake?" It is better for the Qing to search for Zhang Yizhi everywhere, kill him to thank the world, and don't alarm the God Emperor! β
Wu San was anxious, and hurriedly came to Li Xian's side, "Your Highness, the matter has come to this, if you don't work hard, everything will be closed!" β
"But, but Your Majesty is my mother after all, and she is the Emperor of the Gods!" Prince Li Xian's tears were about to flow out, "If I alarm the God Emperor, I will be disloyal and unfilial!" β
"When I came, I said it well, the prince promised to take the lead in raising the army to rebel, and we will respond positively. Now that a big event is coming, how can the prince escape from the battle? In this way, wouldn't it be in vain to kill my loyalty? Wu Sansi whispered in his ear, "Prince, think about it, it's difficult to ride a tiger now, if you take a step back, none of the prince's family will be able to live!" Take a step forward, the whole world is yours, and no one can threaten you anymore! β
"This ......" Li Xian gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, trembling all over, in extreme pain.
"Your Highness, when you are constantly interrupted, you will suffer from it!" Zong Chuke also hurriedly stepped forward to persuade, "If you retreat, all the people I and others who helped you in your troubles will also die!" If you look at the soldiers outside this temple, will they be willing to die in vain? As long as you dare to take a step back, they will all mutini on the spot, and they will all fight to kill the prince first in order to protect themselves! β
"Ahh Li Xian looked up to the sky and shouted.
Wu Zetian heard this sound.
She let out a long sigh of "hey" again, looking at Zhang Yizhi, who was kneeling like a mess of meat at that time, Wu Zetian, who knew that the overall situation was irretrievable, calmed down, and asked, "Yizhi, where is Xue Shao?" β
Xue Shao...... Isn't he fighting outside? Zhang Yizhi was also depressed, and he didn't bother to use his brain to think about it, so he answered casually.
"After fighting for so long, haven't you won yet?" Wu Zetian muttered, "Every time in the past, he always returned triumphantly quickly...... This time, why hasn't you come back for so long? β
He ...... Defeated! Zhang Yizhi's miserable laughter, he was going to die anyway, so he was not afraid to say it clearly, "The imperial court received the news of Xue Shao's defeat at the river a long time ago, and the loss of troops will be gone!" β
"Then why didn't you report it?"
"King Liang won't let me report."
"I see!" Wu Zetian actually smiled, there was no trace of a smile on his face, and there was no trace of anger in his voice, "No wonder those unscrupulous clowns dare to rebel." It turned out that Xue Shao was defeated......"
"Your Majesty, why are you still thinking about Xue Shao at this time?" Zhang Yizhi muttered, "Isn't he the number one rebel in the world, who troubles the God Emperor day and night?" If he had been here, I am afraid that today's events would have happened much earlier, right? β
"Even if everyone in the world doesn't understand Xue Shao, I can understand." Wu Zetian said lightly, "Even if everyone in the world rebels, Xue Shao will not ......."
Zhang Yizhi slowly raised his head and looked at the old woman, as if he had only known her on the first day.
"Xue Shao, where are you?" Wu Zetian closed his eyes, whispered, and muttered, "Many years ago, when Emperor Gaozong was funeral, you promised us that you would not let others bully our orphans and widows. Our monarch and minister also said that I will live up to the king, and the secretary will live up to me...... It was I who broke my word and failed you. So you also hold a grudge against me and abandon me? β
Inside the Hall of Yixian.
Xue Shao used two knives to hold his body tightly without falling, his eyes were like a fire, he gasped for a while, gritted his teeth and roared like a cannonball, and threw himself into the crowd of swords and swords.
The door of a room was opened, and Linlang appeared at the door holding a shield to protect Princess Taiping left and right.
Princess Taiping held a sharp knife in her hand, facing her throat.
She was very calm, as usual, graceful and luxurious.
Her eyes were full of warmth and pride, and she stared at the man who was wielding a double sword to fight for her, and her eyes did not blink.
"Xue Lang, I finally see you again."
"We said yes, we will never leave in this life, and we will still be a couple in the next life."
"Today, life and death are also with you, and you swear not to fight with you!"
The battle circle was constantly shrinking, and Xue Shao's group of dozens of people couldn't resist the continuous influx of prison guards outside the hall. A group of archers came from the periphery, firing arrows frantically at the temple, ignoring even their own people.
Wu Youyi and Wu Youzhi kept shouting: "Kill them all, kill them all!" β
If there is only a group of female dependents of Princess Taiping in the palace, it is really easy to do. Maybe after the thing is done, everyone will be able to have a good time. But Xue Shao suddenly appeared with people, which brought them great shock and panic. That meant that they had no choice but to kill everyone in the temple.
A round of arrows rained down, and the eunuchs and Ban Jian who guarded the palace fell, and the people of Hongmen and Zhao Yijie were also killed and wounded, and even Helian Guchuan was hit by arrows and fell.
Xue Shao escaped this round of arrow rain through the pillars, but his eyes were full of Venus, his hands were weak, and his breath was uneven.
Zhao Yijie took two people and guarded him to the death.
Xue Shao turned his head sweating profusely and saw Princess Taiping.
Princess Taiping was looking at him.
The husband and wife looked at each other and smiled as they usually did at home.
Xue Shao waved the knife again and killed it.
Outside the hall, there was a sudden earth-shattering roar: "The rebel thief rebelled, and he will not be killed!" β
"Feather Forest Army?!"
"What's going on!"
"Don't be surprised, princess, Tang Zhen Pan Yi, Zhonglang in the feather forest, come to the rescue!"
"Killβ"
"Kill all these thieves!"
"General Lang of the Yulin Army, Tang Zhen and Pan Yi?" Xue Shao hid behind a pillar and laughed miserably, "When did these two little miscellaneous hairs get mixed up with the position of Zhonglang General?" Under the chaos, he can organize his soldiers and horses to do some serious things, which is really a great strength! Lao Tzu exchanged the two of you with a first-order loose official in Fengchenwei back then, and it seems that today it seems that he really didn't hurt you in vain! β
The situation reversed, and the guards who attacked the palace heard that the Yulin army was coming, and the army's heart was suddenly in turmoil. The clever ones are already running away, and the few people who are still fighting are also flustered, and they have all lost the courage and ruthlessness of the original single.
The fierce slashing sound quickly poured into the hall, and a burst of arrow feathers hitting people sounded, and many people fell to the ground with screams.
"Wu Youyi, you traitor!"
"Wu Youzhi, where to run!"
Two rows of Yulin troops rushed into the hall and killed a few people who resisted, Tang Zhen strode in wearing a bloody armor, "Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping, Yulin Tang Zhen is here to escort!" β
Xue Shao stood up from behind the pillar, "Boy, come here." β
"Ahh Tang Zhen shouted as if he had seen a ghost, "Xue, Captain Xue? β
Xue Shao laughed loudly, "Come here, let Lao Tzu hug it!" β
"Tang Zhen meets Taiwei Xue!" Tang Zhen, who was in the fourth grade of the official residence, cried on the spot and fell at Xue Shao's feet.
All the Yulin soldiers bowed down together, "Meet Captain Xue!" β
"If you don't have a full salute, get up!" Xue Shao said loudly.
Pan Yi also came in, carrying a half-dead man in both his left and right hands. Seeing Xue Shao from afar, he hurriedly threw the person away and ran over, kneeling on the ground like Tang Zhen.
"It's all said, let Lao Tzu hug it." Xue Shao pulled them up left and right, "They are all kneeling like this, how can Lao Tzu hug them?" β
The three men hugged hard.
Pan Yi beckoned, "Drag those two animals over!" β
It was really like dragging a dead pig, and the half-dead Wu Youyi and Wu Youzhi were dragged over and thrown to the ground.
Xue Shao smiled and walked towards Princess Taiping.
Princess Taiping also walked towards him.
The two stood facing each other, Xue Shao's face was as bloody as a yaksha, and Princess Taiping's pink cheeks were like a fairy.
"Wife, your man is back." Xue Shao grinned and said with a smile, "It's too dirty to hug you." β
"Go home and hug again." Princess Taiping smiled slightly, turned her head to look at Wu Youyi and Wu Youzhi, "Husband, I want to kill." β
"How to kill?"
"Leave it to me, kill slowly." Princess Taiping said lightly, "Now, I ask you to do something." β
Xue Shao smiled intoxicated, the corners of his eyes narrowed, and he looked at her quietly, "Xue Shao's wife, any request must be met." β
Princess Taiping took his hand and looked at him with staring eyes: "Go, save my mother, your mother-in-law, intact." β
"As you wish." Xue Shao smiled slightly, turned around and raised his double swords, "Who dares to save King Qin with me?!" β
"Swear to follow Captain Xue to the death!"
Inside the palace, there was a shout.
Helian Guchuan struggled to get up from the ground, pulled out the arrow on his chest, and the blood soared more than three feet away. Xue Shao hurriedly asked Yang Siqiao to treat his injuries, and told him to stay here and not have to follow. Zhao Yijie went to pick up a few pieces of armor, and Tang Zhen Pan Yi personally stepped forward and put on armor for Xue Shao. Gong Ren was not able to die, he was barely able to stand up, and walked into the hall through the back door with great difficulty.
Xue Shao walked up to Gong Ren, "You can still walk upright, presumably you are fine?" β
Tang Zhen, Pan Yi and the others were taken aback again, "On the general, why are you here?" You, what's wrong with you? β
"Finally, finally ashore! I'm not dead, I'm not dead! Hahaha! On Gongren gasped and laughed, and grabbed Tang Zhen and Pan Yi with his left and right hands, "Quickly give me armor, horses, horse lances, and knives!" β¦β¦ I'm going to kill a few people, and I'm going to be shocked! β
