The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 372
After Wang Gang's high school reunion, Sheng Hong finally threw a banquet and invited many friends over for dinner.

This time, the old lady Sheng didn't stop her, and she couldn't stop her if she wanted to. The threshold of the Sheng family was almost broken by the congratulators, so there was no way to hold a banquet.

The Hai family also received the news that Wang Gangzhong would meet Yuan, and no one objected to Hai Chaoyun's marriage immediately. As for Wang Gang's entry into the Imperial Academy, from the Hai family's point of view, it was already a certainty.

Don't forget, Wang Gang is not only Huiyuan, but also Xieyuan. He has already won two yuan, even if he didn't achieve the feat of winning three yuan in a row, there is almost no suspense in entering the Imperial Academy.

The Hai family sent someone to express to Sheng Hong, and urged him to get hired quickly to finalize the marriage.

But now Sheng Hong was a little bit guilty.

The Hai family's family is certainly good, but the rule that concubines are allowed only when they are [-] years old is really too deceitful.

Originally, Sheng Hong thought that the son was born of a concubine after all, and the daughter of the Hai family's prostitute who married was already considered a married woman.

But it was different when Wang Gang became a high school student. Everyone knew that Wang Gang had a bright future, and at his age, no one wanted to get married.

Wang Gang didn't dare to tell Sheng Hong that King Yong intended to recruit him as his son-in-law, otherwise he wouldn't scare Sheng Hong to death.

On the other hand, King Yong was fully focused on the plan to force the palace at this time, so he temporarily put aside the matter of his daughter Princess Jiacheng and Wang Gang.

Ma Guowei and Zhou Bing's escort team had already arrived outside the capital, and they could enter the city just waiting for the official order.

The escort team has all the ordnance of King Yong's private army, and when the time comes, they can send troops to surround the palace.

The time for Wang Gang and King Yong to discuss is the palace examination.

During the imperial examination, all the officials of the Hanlin Academy and officials will review the papers in the palace, and that is the best time to force the palace.

As long as he controls the palace and takes down the officials and the queen, King Yong can force the officials to write a will.

King Yong hasn't slept well for the past few days, he is so nervous that his temper is a little irritable, and the concubine dare not touch his whiskers.

Wang Gang has to welcome guests these few days, so he has no time to meet King Yong at all.

Seeing the time passing day by day, King Yong noticed something was wrong.

Ma Guowei and Zhou Bing have been staying outside Bianjing, and the officials have not ordered them to enter Beijing for a long time.

King Yong was anxious, and wanted to discuss with Wang Gang even more.

As a result, King Yong did not wait for Wang Gang to come, but he waited for the imperial decree from the official family.

The problem is that the person who delivered the decree surprised King Yong very much.

The person who delivered the decree turned out to be the Eighth Prince Zhao Zongquan.

"Third brother, the officials urgently invite you into the palace." Zhao Zongquan handed the imperial decree to King Yong, but did not read it out in public.

King Yong took the imperial decree, opened it and saw that it only said that he was allowed to enter the palace, but not why he was allowed to enter the palace.

"What is the official looking for me for?"

Zhao Zongquan looked around and said nothing.

King Yong retreated to the left and right, and Zhao Zongquan said: "The official's family is seriously ill. Prime Minister Han has been called, and there are still a few veterans entering the palace."

Hearing that King Yong was startled, he immediately thought of Tuo Gu.

The official family is seriously ill, so what can happen if they invite ministers and princes into the palace.

"Has King Yan also entered the palace?" King Yong asked.

"Director Wang has already gone to Prince Yan's Mansion, Third Brother, hurry up and enter the palace with me!" Zhao Zongquan said eagerly.

King Yong was unmoved, but just looked at Zhao Zongquan with vicious eyes.

He was also thinking about whether to enter the palace or not.

Wang Gang said that the official family favored Zhao Zongquan as the crown prince. It happened that Zhao Zongquan returned to Beijing, and the official family was seriously ill. Any fool would think that the official family wanted to pass on the throne.

If he enters the palace now, he will be meat on the cutting board, and all the previous arrangements will be useless.

"You go first, I will come as soon as I tell the mansion."

Zhao Zongquan said anxiously: "Third brother, at this moment, what else can I explain, quickly follow me into the palace, I'm afraid the official family won't last long."

The more anxious Zhao Zongquan was, the more uncertain King Yong was.

"There is a genius doctor in my house who may be able to cure the official's illness. You go back to the palace and ask the official to let me bring the genius doctor into the palace." King Yong said with an excuse.

Zhao Zongquan didn't suspect him, thinking that it was King Yong who wanted to show his filial piety, so he hurried back to the palace to ask for an order.

King Yong wanted to urgently invite Wang Gang to come over for a discussion, but the people who had gone to the Sheng Mansion came back to report that Wang Gang was away from the mansion when he went out to visit friends and celebrate Zhonghuiyuan.

"Why isn't you here at this critical moment?" Prince Yong wanted to curse angrily.

Seeing the passing of time, King Yong didn't care too much, so he summoned his subordinates, brainstormed, and wanted to come up with a solution.

"Your Majesty, otherwise, it will be reversed!"

"Yes! If you wait for the Eighth King to obtain the position of crown prince, it will be too late."

"As long as we cooperate with Zhou Bing outside the city, we will be able to win Bianjing City."

Seeing what your subordinates say to each other, they all want to launch the plan to force the palace, King Yong has also made up his mind.

"Okay, wealth and wealth are in danger, I will give it a go today."

King Yong began to dispatch troops and generals, and asked Lu Chuan, the chief guard of the mansion, to contact the private army hidden in Bianjing City, organize the people, join Zhou Bing's troops outside the city, and get the weapons first.

As for himself, he brought the guards of the palace and three thousand dead men to attack the palace.

This is a race against time, King Yong risked everything just for the supreme seat.

Shouts of killing soon sounded in the city of Bianjing, and teams of people appeared on the streets, heading straight for the palace.

King Yong himself, riding a white horse, rushed towards the palace under the protection of a group of guards.

…………

In the palace, the official Zhao Zhen who was lying on the sickbed urged him again.

"Is King Yong here?"

Zhao Zhen had a high fever at this time, and he was very weak, as if he had exhausted all his strength in just a few words.

Prime Minister Han Qi arrived early in the morning, and the Queen also stood by Zhao Zhen's side.

Zhao Zongquan hurried forward and said to Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, the third brother will be here soon. He has invited a genius doctor to treat your majesty's illness."

Zhao Zhen gasped and said: "I'm afraid I won't be in a hurry. Listen, after I leave, King Yong will inherit the throne, Prime Minister Han Qi, eight kings will assist the government, and King Yan will leave immediately."

While speaking, Zhao Zhen picked up an imperial decree tremblingly, and said to Prime Minister Han Qi: "The imperial decree for my succession has been written."

Prime Minister Han Qi held the imperial decree in both hands respectfully.

The queen supported Zhao Zhen and cried, "Your Majesty."

Zhao Zhen looked at the Queen weakly, and said, "Queen, from now on, you should take care of my country more!"

The queen's face froze slightly when she heard this, and then she cried louder.

"Your Majesty, my concubine will go with you."

Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "What stupid things are you talking about, you have to live well and help the prince govern the country."

This is what the queen was waiting for.

Just when everyone was shrouded in grief, a eunuch hurried in.

The queen shouted angrily: "Who allowed you to come in."

The little eunuch shouted in panic, "Prince Yong's soldiers surrounded the palace."

The queen was shocked and her eyes widened.

"What did you say, King Yong's soldiers surrounded the palace, have you lost your mind and gone crazy?"

The little eunuch was sweating profusely and said: "I don't dare to talk nonsense. King Yong really surrounded the palace with soldiers. Now the whole capital of Bianjing is in chaos. A large group of people are attacking the south gate."

Zhao Zhen didn't know where the strength came from, and sat up from the dragon couch.

"You mean King Yong, not King Yan?!"

The little eunuch said: "Your servant is right, King Yong is outside the palace."

Han Qi and the queen looked at each other, feeling flustered for a while.

The official family has just issued a will to pass on the title of King Yong, who is lucky, directly forcing the palace, what kind of game is it?

Zhao Zhen was furious and spewed out a mouthful of blood.

"Your Majesty." The queen supported Zhao Zhen in a panic.

"Beast, beast." Zhao Zhen looked up to the sky and sighed, he really couldn't accept that his chosen successor would be like this.

Han Qi remonstrated: "His Royal Highness Yong must have some misunderstandings, the old minister will go and ask."

Zhao Zhen grasped with his right hand, as if he wanted to grab something, but he was too weak to lift his hand for a long time.

"Death..." Zhao Zhen spit out two words lightly.

The queen snatched the imperial edict from Han Qi's hand.

Han Qi also understood what the officials meant, so he didn't stop him, and let the queen take the posthumous photo.

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Zongquan again, the queen understood, and said to Zhao Zongquan: "Eight kings, King Yong intends to rebel, you use my Fengxi seal to mobilize the forbidden army, and King Qin will protect you."

Zhao Zongquan was a little apprehensive, and stood there without moving.

In the end, it was Han Qi who said: "The Forbidden Army only obeys the emperor's order."

The queen was startled, and couldn't help but look at Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen took out a small yellow cloth bag from the pillow, handed it to the queen, and then lost all strength.

The queen opened the cloth bag and saw that it was the Tiger Talisman of the Forbidden Army Transferring Army inside!

"Eight Kings, you take the tiger talisman and go out of the palace to dispatch troops as soon as possible." The queen handed the tiger talisman to Zhao Zongquan, and said solemnly:
"The lives of His Majesty and Bengong are in your hands."

Zhao Zongquan took the tiger talisman with trembling hands, kowtowed heavily to Zhao Zhen and the queen, and then hurried out of the palace.

At this time, King Yong had led three thousand dead soldiers to attack the gate of the palace.
