Under the ray of moonlight, the face of the person in front of the door was shining clearly.
Zhao Xizhe jumped up from the bed and put on a defensive posture:
“Tang Hang, how did you come in?”
“What? Surprised?” Tang Heng strolled into the room, turned away from the guest, sat down at the table, and poured himself a cup of tea.
“Are you surprised that I could come in, or surprised that I didn’t die?”
Zhao Xizhe relaxed, came to the table, sneered: “How could you die? I didn’t believe it from the beginning.”
“What are you doing?” Zhao Xizhe asked.
Tang Hang put down his teacup and said with a smile: “Since you know that I can’t die, why don’t you know what I am coming to do with you?”
Zhao Xizhe’s eyes flashed, and the guess in his heart was seven to eight points certain.
“Where is Yun Xiao?” he asked.
Tang Hang frowned when he heard his pretending title of familiarity, but didn’t make it clear, only replied, “She’s okay.”
Zhao Xizhe asked again: “Does she know you are looking for me?”
Tang Heng squinted his eyes, gave him a cool look, and nodded again.
Zhao Xizhe suddenly showed a clear and smug smile: “Want to cooperate with me to wash away your charges of treason? Or… still want to get permission from the Empress Dowager?”
“I can promise you, but I… have a condition.”
“After it’s done, I want her!”
Tang Hang’s hand squeezed the teacup abruptly, and then released it again.
He looked at Zhao Xizhe, speaking so seriously, it seemed that he intended to irritate himself.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t very angry.
“Brother Zhao.” Tang Hang said slowly, “I think you might have misunderstood something.”
“Who you want, it should be her own wishes, I can’t be the master. She is not an object, let alone a deal.”
“Besides…” Tang Xing paused and evoked a weird smile.
“What I give you is the choice of life and death, not your choice to help or not to help me!”
“A person with a bargaining chip makes a request, it is smart; a person without a bargaining chip makes a request, it is…”
Tang Hang stretched out his index finger and clicked his temple: “Tsk tut.”
Zhao Xizhe’s expression changed: “What do you mean?”
Tang Heng’s expression also calmed down: “You are just a backup option for me to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. I can let you live or die. You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me.”
“If you don’t agree, here is the difference between dying early and dying late.”
“Brother Zhao, now…you can make a choice.” Tang Heng made a “please” gesture, as polite as he had come.
But Zhao Xizhe had a cold sweat for no reason.
Why did he forget? Tang Heng is not dead, but Gyeonggi Guard’s command is still in his hands! As long as he thinks, they, civil servants, are all on the plate.
Not only him, Patriarch He and his uncles have forgotten.
Maybe it’s not forgotten, but they never looked down on those rude warriors, despised military officers, didn’t care about military affairs, and were immersed in the prosperity of the past, and they thought that the government was still the same as before and could be played by these civil servants. Between the palms.
But in the corner they looked down upon, the humble birthplaces that they looked down upon, grew up one by one, turning from scrap iron into sharp swords.
Then slashed a knife to cut off the stems and leaves and roots of the aristocratic family for a century, and finally burned it clean!
“What do you want me to do?” Zhao Xizhe convinced him, he really had no choice.
“Take me to see the Empress Dowager.”
Imperial City, Ganquan Palace.
Empress Dowager Zhao, who was promoted to Empress Dowager overnight, silently looked at the two people in front of him who had sneaked into the palace late at night.
She should angrily reprimand them for committing crimes, breaking into Miyagi, and then ordering the imperial army to arrest them and punishing them for the crime of rebellion.
But she can’t do it.
“Yongnian, come to my grandmother.” Empress Dowager Zhao waved to Zhao Xizhe.
Since He Zhan murdered the emperor and the little emperor became king, she has never been able to see Zhao Xizhe.
She is Zhao Xizhe’s aunt and grandmother, Zhao Xizhe’s grandfather is her concubine, but in front of Zhao Xizhe, she has always called herself grandmother.
“Yongnian, are you sure you want to do this?” The Queen Mother looked at Tang Heng and then stared at Zhao Xizhe.
Zhao Xizhe nodded: “Grandma, I’m not reconciled!”
“I’m not reconciled”, these two words, the Queen Mother Zhao understood what he meant.
She is not reconciled!
No matter how the emperor said, it was also her biological son who was conceived in October. Even when they grow up, because of power struggles, mother and child are separated. But how can the blood ties between parents and children be cut off?
He Zhan and Concubine He, so that her emperor could not stand for a lifetime, disrupted all her layout. Now she killed her son!
What is the little emperor? Even her grandson still has He’s blood in her body!
Her brothers, nephews, and grand-nephews all acquiesced to what the He family had done without blinking an eye!
The Empress Dowager Zhao spent her life for the Zhao family and worked her whole life, but in the end, she became an abandoned pawn.
How can she be willing?
“Yongnian, do what you want to do. Grandma supports you!” The Queen Mother Zhao took Zhao Xizhe’s hand with a look of love.
Because Zhao Xizhe’s father is a concubine, he has not been allowed to reuse it in the family. The Empress Dowager Zhao had taken a fancy to Zhao Xizhe’s weakness and obedient, so she was willing to spoil him and praise him.
Now, she really got the reward.
“General Tang, the Ai family can give you this decree that will make you justifiable and enter Beijing to rebel.” Empress Zhao said.
Because the first emperor had not established a queen, the seal of the queen mother and the seal of the queen had always been in the hands of the empress dowager Zhao, and they had not been handed over to concubine He Gui-the current empress dowager.
“But the Ai family has one condition.” Queen Mother Zhao paused: “Fei’er’s throne, no one can move!”
Once the He family fell, Zhao Xizhe would take control of the Zhao family, and Murong Fei, who was only ten years old, was of course better controlled. As for the other emperor grandchildren who have been smashed, they have to continue to sing.
Zhao Xizhe didn’t think there was anything wrong with what the Queen Mother said.
Tonight, although he had no choice but to compromise, he also took advantage of Tang Heng’s power to seize power.
Where there is life, there is hope. It is still unclear whether the court in the future is him or Tang Heng who has the final say!
Tang Hang also did not hesitate.
At this time, let these two people want to be more beautiful, like a radish hanging in front of a donkey’s head, not to mention the fragrant or spicy, and then you can carve flowers for them.
“The empress dowager can rest assured. The minister has to be promoted by the first emperor to have today, and is dedicated to avenging the first emperor and eliminating the thieves who killed the king! As long as there is the support of the empress, today, it will only be today!”
Empress Dowager Zhao nodded in satisfaction and asked the palace to take out her seal, write the decree, and hand it to Tang Hang.
“General Tang, the forbidden army has been completely controlled by He Zhan, don’t let the Aijia down!”
“Follow the decree of the Queen Mother!” Tang Heng knelt on his head, held the decree, and hid it in his clothes.
What’s the fear of the mere ban?
Three days later, before dawn, there was silence inside and outside the capital.
This hour is when people are most prone to fatigue and sleepiness, even for well-trained city guards.
However, the army of Gyeonggi Guards, who slept well, was exceptionally energetic.
Tang Heng took Chi Yuan and Zhou Bi, and behind them was the 200-man team newly trained by Gyeonggi Weizhong after they returned to Beijing, each ready to go.
“General Du.” Du Shao on the side of Tang Hangchao ordered.
“When I wait to kill the city tower and open the city gate, you will immediately lead your troops to control the four gates of the capital and the hundred official residences in the city. The map and list are all here. The others will follow us behind.”
“Jin Nian, Jin Ying, you and Xiao brother, at the gate to meet the adults who evaded the manor. When the situation in Miyagi is under control, I will let Zhou Bi come to pick you up into the palace!”
“Yes!”
With a dove whistle, countless shadows climbed up the city wall, crossed the crenellation, and disappeared into the night.
Soon, the heavy city gate was slowly opened from the inside.
With a wave of Du Shao’s hand, tens of thousands of Gyeonggi Guards filed in, like snakes, surging across the capital.
The people in the capital who are still asleep will not know that this day will change again.
Tang Heng led more than two hundred people under his command, rushing forward, sneaking under the palace gate.
From here to the inner palace, every gate is heavily guarded.
“How’s it going?” Tang Hang asked.
“Back to the general, the follow-up team has already followed, and I must have completed the deployment on General Du’s side!” Chi Yuan replied.
“Okay!” Tang Heng said: “Ignite the light! Please send out the decree of the Empress Dowager!”
They are here to put down the rebellion, so naturally they have to be upright!
Zhou Bi took out the signal cannon from his arms, the golden light flashed, and the scattered fireworks exploded in mid-air, cutting through the quiet night sky.
The people and horses who had already hidden everywhere in the capital lit the torches at the same time, and the fire blazed through the sky.
The government officials who had been awakened received a report and hurried out to check, only to find that they had completely lost the power to resist, and could only be trapped in the palace and waited anxiously.
Palace gate.
Gyeonggi Guards confronted the imperial imperial forbidden army, and their swords were drawn.
Chi Yuan pulled his throat, showing the Queen Mother’s decree in his hand:
“He Zhan and Zhao Ji colluded with Concubine He, and Li Hui, the commander of the Forbidden Army, to murder the first emperor. They were rebellious and wrongful. They should be punished! Gyeonggiwei was ordered to return to Beijing to punish the rebellion and kill the rebels. Anyone in the Forbidden Army who did not know should be put down immediately. Weapons are exempt from crime!”
“Let down! Let down! Let down!” Gyeonggi Wei Zhentian’s roar immediately followed.
The imperial city imperial army could not help but look at each other.
They are all ordinary soldiers, and they have always said what Shangfeng said. But right now, the other side took out the decree of the Empress Dowager, where would they dare to move?
Seeing that the hearts of the people were shaking, a group of men and horses rushed out of Miyagi, the leader of which was in armor and a red cap.
“The imperial army listens to the order! Gyeonggi Guard rebelled, forged the decree, and attacked the imperial city! Anyone who does not resist the imperial army has been convicted of treason!”
“The general is the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army, Wu Yong.” Chi Yuan whispered.
“Kill him.” Tang Hang said coldly.
“Yes!” Chi Yuan leaped up from his horse, and rushed towards Wu Yong who was riding the horse.
The long knife in his hand stretched out, and a white light struck across it.
Wu Yong’s Ma Kankan stopped, and everyone could see that there was only a headless body on the horse’s back.
The imperial army was in instant chaos.
They were unprepared at first, and now the chief is dead, and the group of dragons has no leader.
“The anti-thief Wu Yong is dead, the forbidden army lays down their weapons! Anyone who rebels will be the same thief!” Chi Yuan held Wu Yong’s head and scanned the forbidden army present.
Time seemed to have stagnated for a while, and with the sound of metal collisions, the group of forbidden troops guarding the palace gate all put down their weapons and raised their hands to surrender.
Tang Hang waved his hand: “Zhou Bi, send someone to watch them. Others, follow me into the palace!”
