Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 462 A Coincidental Coincidence
If Shi Heng has read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", at this moment, in this situation, he will definitely think of one person, and that is Cao Cao.

This ambush is not over yet.Shi Heng raised his eyes and looked around, and saw cavalrymen who couldn't see the end.

This is the real saying that there are tigers in front of the door and wolves behind the door.

Shi Heng couldn't figure out which cavalry this was.

The cavalry on the opposite side were not in a hurry to charge and let the two armies of Shi Heng and Liu Yongcheng bite.

An hour later, Shi Heng and Liu Yongcheng's subordinates all rushed out of Chaoyang Gate and fought each other in the open space outside Chaoyang Gate.

Shenji Camp and Yingzhou Guard inside the city, and Duoyan Guard outside the city just looked at them coldly.

……

At this time, there was a fire in the city.

Some small groups of rebels gathered together and set the Old Qi Palace and the Zhongfu Pasture on fire.

When Shi Heng just surrounded Lao Qi Palace, he thought the emperor was inside, so he thought he was smart, and ordered his soldiers to bring hay from the Zhongfu pasture, and piled it full outside the palace.

Now that the small group of rebels are so small, the fire will soon be difficult to control.

Between the Zhongfu Grassland and the Old Qi Palace is the ceremonial room of the inner court.The three hundred beautiful women selected by the Ministry of Rites for the emperor all live here.

Coincidentally, these rebels are all carefree desperadoes.

Anyway, it is impossible for everyone to survive this time, so what are you afraid of?

Three hundred beautiful girls, all of them died.

At the same time, Mrs. Fusheng's wife Lin, Zuosheng's wife Li, and Rongshan's wife Xiang were also killed.

The fires in Old Qi Palace and Zhongfu Grassland were blown by the east wind, billowing thick smoke into the Forbidden City.Empress Dowager Sun and Zhu Qizhen who were on the pedestals of the three main halls happened to be in trouble, their hair was dizzy and their eyes were blackened by the thick smoke.

Zhu Qizhen is still a little bit better. Empress Dowager Sun has experienced several fires, and she has already had a psychological shadow.Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, he made up his mind to run away.

Running south is definitely not an option, as thousands of people in the south will have their eyes turned red; running east is also not an option, because the east is on fire.

It doesn't work to run north, the direction of Xuanwu Gate has already become a mass.

I can only go northwest and run back to the Yinghua Hall in the corner.

Zhu Qizhen's mentality has also collapsed a long time ago, and now he just wants to save his life.So under the protection of Xing'an, Chen Xiang, Ha Ming and dozens of Jin Yiwei, Zhu Qizhen and Empress Dowager Sun supported each other, lowered the foundations of the three main halls from the north side, and withdrew to Yinghua Hall.

Cao Rui locked all the palace people in the imperial garden before, but now the direction of Xuanwu Gate has become one, and the palace people have already scattered and fled.

Not only the Empress Dowager Sun is optimistic about the Yinghua Palace, but the palace people are also optimistic about the Yinghua Palace.When Empress Dowager Sun and Zhu Qizhen entered the gate of Yinghua Palace, they saw that the courtyard was already full of palace people.

At this time, Zhu Qiyu's advance layout came into effect again: the Sixth West Palace and the Fifth West Palace were demolished by Zhu Qiyu, and the entire Yinghua Palace was empty and there was no hiding place, so if the palace people fled to the west, they had no choice , can only drill into Yinghua Palace.

Empress Dowager Sun and Zhu Qizhen first forced their way in under the protection of Xing'an and Chen Xiang, and then Jin Yiwei drove the palace people out.

But in the Forbidden City, blood flowed like a river, everyone was about to die, and the orders of the emperor and queen mother were not very effective.

At this time, the law is beyond reproach, and the Empress Dowager Sun and Zhu Qizhen can't tell who is who, let alone punish the palace servants.

Jin Yiwei was overwhelmed by the crowd, and the scene became chaotic.

So Jin Yiwei was temporarily dispersed, and only Xing'an and Chen Xiang were left beside Empress Dowager Sun and Zhu Qizhen.

The four of them squeezed together for a while, and finally reached the steps of the main hall, when they suddenly heard Empress Dowager Sun scream, then her feet went limp, her body twisted, and she fell down.

But people are crowded, and it is impossible to fall down.

It turned out that two young eunuchs, Zhang Ben and Zhang Qing, squeezed over and stabbed the Queen Mother several times with scissors while no one was watching.

Before Zhang Min exposed the case of Jin Ying instructing the eunuch of Shangshan to poison the prince, the Empress Dowager Sun ordered Xing'an to retaliate, and finally Zhang Min was tortured to death.

In addition, the Zhang Ben brothers were implicated in the civil uprising in Fujian and were forcibly castrated and sent to the palace, so the resentment was already great.

Now that their brother was killed again, Zhang Ben and Zhang Qing were full of resentment, but they had no chance or ability to take revenge.

It's a pity that there is God's will in the dark, and we have caught up with such a golden opportunity like today.

The most important thing is that there was a mutiny in the Forbidden City early in the morning today. Quite a few palace people had hidden scissors and other sharp weapons to defend themselves and strengthen their courage. Brothers Zhang Ben and Zhang Qing were no exception. Each of them had a pair of scissors hidden in their sleeves.

However, when Cao Rui detained the palace servants in the Royal Garden, he did not search them at all.Cao Rui didn't care about the scissors and hammer hidden on the palace man's body.

So under various coincidences, the Queen Mother Sun was retaliated by the little eunuch and suffered several scissors.

Zhang Ben and Zhang Qing were still very clever, they tore off some other people's skirts in the confusion, covered their faces, and then started to stab.

Now, the incident was chaotic and sudden. After the incident, Zhu Qizhen and Xing'an were busy caring for the Queen Mother Sun's injury, and had long forgotten to track down the murderer.

As for Chen Xiang, if he saw it, he would treat it as if he didn't see it.

After a full meal, Jin Yiwei drove most of the palace people out, and then returned to Zhu Qizhen, defending Zhu Qizhen and Empress Dowager Sun into the palace.

Then the palace people were driven out, and when the Queen Mother was placed on the bed in the inner room, the blood had already stained most of her coat red.

It is not realistic to seek an imperial doctor at this time. Fortunately, Chen Xiang has a little medical skills, and was driven out of the market, so he bit the bullet and bandaged the Queen Mother to stop the bleeding.

Fortunately, although Queen Mother Sun's injury was serious, it was not fatal, and the group stayed in the palace to endure it.

Zhu Qizhen slumped on the chair powerlessly, with a dejected look on his face.I didn't expect to lose so easily, without even posing a real threat to my brother, everything was over.

Ever since Xiaoqiying entered the city, everything has been swept away by the autumn wind.

It turns out that this is imperial power. It is so difficult for the Supreme Emperor to rebel against the current emperor.If the vassal kings, nobles, and military generals rebel, wouldn't it be as difficult as climbing the sky?
The entire battle continued until the evening before it gradually subsided.

After Shi Heng and Liu Yongcheng outside the city fought to the detriment of both sides, Duoyanwei launched a charge.

Except for Shi Heng who was captured alive, all the others died in battle.

Although Liu Yongcheng has the ability and military merits, but he will never really surrender.

Zhu Qiyu chose to let them die in battle with dignity as the last respect for those who could not be warmed up or cared for.

As for why Shi Heng was captured alive?It was only because he was dragged to Lingchi alive that he was the greatest tragedy.

In the Forbidden City, five thousand days of guards entered in an orderly manner to clean up the mess.

Cao Jixiang and the Cao Qin brothers were all killed in battle.

All civil servants were killed, and all nobles were killed in battle.

Most of the vassal kings were injured, and many people died unfortunately.

All the guards, servants, retainers, and dead soldiers of the vassal kings were all 'dead in battle', and no one was spared.

Then Xiaoqiying was in charge of martial law throughout the city, and Duoyanwei was in charge of patrolling outside the city, and no one was allowed to enter or leave the capital.

Shenjiying and Yingzhouwei are responsible for mopping up the fish that slipped through the net in the city.

The mutiny is over, but the coup is far from over, and the real big change has just begun.
