Chapter 6: Battle of the Palace

9days ago Wuxia Novels 9
On the third day of the seventh month of the 13th year of Tianshun, Wuzong of the Dayu Kingdom, this was a day that was recorded in the history of the country and a bloody day. Later historians called what happened today a shocking change in the deep palace. The sky was gloomy and the sun was not seen for several days. The moon rarely appeared at night. The news that the emperor was seriously ill was widely circulated in the capital. The struggle between the three forces of the princelings, the King of Wu and the King of Jin was gradually becoming public. Everyone was very heavy in their hearts. Every family closed their doors at night, for fear of major changes.

Long Hao was restless these two days, and the latest news was constantly coming from the palace. Now that his father's condition is getting heavier and he is already in his dying state, the secret letter from the palace yesterday was very simple, which was to seize the palace tonight. The time was set at 3 o'clock in the evening. The imperial guards inside and outside the palace were dispatched together, occupying the major palaces of the palace under the banner of protecting the emperor. It is best to capture the crown prince Zhang Huang alive.

In the imperial city, the guard group is responsible for the security and security of the royal family in the palace, the emperor and the concubines of each palace, while the imperial guards are responsible for the guards and daily patrols of the entire imperial city. Therefore, if you want to completely control the entire palace, you must compete with the guard group loyal to the prince!

There are still two hours left before the capture of the palace at Mao hour, but Long Hao is already a little impatient. You should know that the capture of the palace is equivalent to launching a palace coup. If it fails, it will be a death penalty. Even the mother, Empress, Concubine Shu, will be implicated. This is a matter of life and death!

This battle must be successful, and if it fails, you will be successful!

But no one wants to succeed but not to succeed, so they all kept the next move.

Since noon, Long Hao has been pulled into the secret room by Zhang Meng and Zhang Xiong. Once the palace is captured, Zhang Meng and Zhang Xiong will protect him and escape from the capital along another exit directly from the tunnel.

(Note: There are two exits in this tunnel, one is connected to the emperor's bedroom, and the other is directly outside the city) Long Hao sat on the chair of the Grand Master in the secret room, bored, picked up a ceramic teacup on the sandalwood table in front of him, raised his head and wanted to drink a sip of tea. He waited until the cup touched his lips before he could see clearly that the tea in the cup had been drunk by him and fainted!

Why does time pass so slowly!

Long Hao couldn't help but think of Einstein's theory of relativity that he had learned in another world. Time will also change with different environments. For example, if people do things they like, they feel that time passes quickly, such as watching football games: If they do things they hate, they feel that time passes slowly.

He thought about the scenes of his life in that world, and remembered his parents' hard work to support him in college, but now he probably can't go back forever. How are they doing?

well!

Life is impermanent, let’s take care of the present!

Time passed by minute by minute, and Long Hao's mood gradually calmed down. Everything was left to fate!

While he was thinking about it, the floor of the secret room was lifted up again. Concubine Shu walked out from inside with the help of two confidant palace maids.

Long Hao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly ran over to salute his mother and said: "My son is polite!"Mother, please sit down!

Concubine Shu was probably still angry with him, so she nodded at him, then sat on the chair in the middle of the Grand Master, and said as if she was talking to herself: Originally, the Ai family didn't want to leave the emperor's bedroom, but General Xue sent someone to urge me to leave several times. After all, the general attack will be launched in two hours. The Supreme People's bedroom is guarded by the prince's guard group, and there will be dangers when the Ai family stays there...

Long Hao hurriedly said: Is it Ah, my mother is still safe to stay with me. When we have completely controlled the palace, I will ask you to go back and preside over the plan!

**********

Finally arrived at the third hour of Mao!At this moment, Long Hao's whole body entered a state of high tension, and every muscle and muscles were tense!

According to the pre-plan, at this moment, the Imperial Guard camp in the palace should send out three cannons, and then the Imperial Guard lurking inside and outside the imperial city began to seize control of the palace inside and outside.

However, now the third hour of Mao was passed, and there was no movement in the palace!

Long Hao's heart immediately tensed, and cold sweat gradually oozed out of his forehead. What's going on?Why did the Imperial Guard not act at the designated time?Did something happen?

He turned around to ask Zhang Meng and Zhang Xiong beside him. These two were also confused and did not know what had happened.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and it is now four o'clock!Why haven't there been any movement yet?

Long Hao sighed in his heart that it would be great if this was modern. I would hang up the phone for Xue Zhaowu and he would tell me in time what was wrong.

At this time, Concubine Shu was a little uneasy. She stood up and sat down for a while, looking restless.

Zhang Meng couldn't hold back his anger anymore, and turned to his brother Zhang Xiong and said: I'm here to protect the prince and the empress. You can immediately gather the guards in the mansion and guard the main hall of the palace. Send a spy to find General Xue and ask why he has not launched an attack on the palace for a long time. Go and do it!

Zhang Xiong took the order and left the secret room.

Another quarter of an hour later, suddenly the door of the secret room opened, and Zhang Xiong walked in from outside the door with a calm expression. Although he and Zhang Meng were brothers, they had very different personalities. Zhang Meng had a hot and generous temper, while Zhang Xiong was more calm and sophisticated.

Zhang Xiong could only hear Zhang Xiong saying in a deep voice to Long Hao: I had sent someone to contact General Xue just now. He said that the situation had changed. For the sake of the prince's safety, he adjusted his troops and sent deputy general Chen Da to lead two thousand imperial guards to guard the royal palace. Now Chen Da has brought people here.

Long Hao was surprised to hear this: Is the situation changing?What happened?

Zhang Xiong said: I don’t know, General Xue didn’t say it clearly.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard three cannons ringing in the imperial city, and then shouting to kill Zhentian. Xue Zhaowu's Imperial Guard began to act!

Why is the time of action delayed?What happened?

It turned out that the moment before Xue Zhaowu's Imperial Guard was about to seize the palace, a man who claimed to be the secret envoy of the King of Jin suddenly came in the camp outside the imperial city. The man sent a letter from the King of Jin and left.

Xue Zhaowu opened the letter and the content really surprised him. The general content of the letter was that the King of Jin had learned that the King of Wu was going to send someone to seize the palace tonight. He decided to send troops to help, depose the crown prince Zhang Huang, support the King of Wu as the crown prince, and ascend the throne on the day the old emperor passed away.

Xue Zhaowu read and pondered the letter repeatedly, and could not see what the King of Jin was planning. It is indeed doubtful that the King of Jin was an old fox.

But now the arrow is on the string and I have to send it. I can't give up my plan to seize the palace tonight because of this letter from King Jin. So Xue Zhaowu decided to fight, how many times can I fight in my life!

In fact, life is really like gambling. Many people will suppress all their gambling funds for a gambling game. Some people succeed and become rich overnight. Money, status, and beauty roll in, while others lose nothing, become slaves, beggars, and even lose their lives...

Xue Zhaowu secretly sent someone to reply to the King of Jin, which roughly stated that at the fifth hour of Mao, the soldiers from both sides would join forces to enter the palace, and strive to capture the crown prince Zhang Huang alive.

The reason why he delayed the operation by two quarters of a minute was to leave time for him to re-adjust the deployment of troops. He was very worried about the authenticity of the King of Jin's sending troops to help this time. Did he have other intentions?

Xue Zhaowu had to keep a backup plan for chess, and he must never win chess without caring about his family!

So he used this period to send a powerful general Chen Da, who brought two thousand elite imperial guards back to the Wu Palace, and sent another deputy general Guo Yi to lead three thousand imperial guards to ambush around the Jin Palace. Once there was an accident on the Jin Palace, he would enter the Jin Palace and capture King Zhang Chuan alive.

After all the deployment was completed, he ordered the palace to be seized at the fifth hour of Mao.

After three cannons rang, the Imperial Guards in the palace began to attack several major palaces in the imperial city, such as the Qinzheng Hall, the Yangxin Hall, the Emperor's Bedroom Palace, the Prince's East Palace, and the Queen's Cining Palace, these were the main targets to be seized.

There were 12,000 Imperial Guards stationed in the imperial city, and these people were attacked by three deputy generals and more than a dozen partial generals.

Outside the imperial city, Xue Zhaowu assembled and led the elite imperial guards, with 13,000 troops, rushed in from the east gate of the palace.

At the same time, the King of Jin mobilized 10,000 garrison troops in the capital. Sure enough, at the agreed time, he cooperated with the Imperial Guard to kill from the west gate of the imperial city. For a moment, the sound of killing in the imperial city was shocking. Blood light and sword light accompanied by the sound of weapons attacks, screams, and shouts of killing, reflecting the tragic yellow crescent moon, forming a living hell on earth.
