Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1114 Surrounding Tang Palace

King Tang sent people to intercept the court messengers, and after several people were captured by Jin Yiwei, Jin Yiwei had obtained conclusive evidence that King Tang wanted to murder King Chu, and he was ready to attack King Tang at any time.

When Wang Yan turned south from Jiujiang, he sent people to Nanjing to inform Jin Yiwei to assist Gao Yigong to eliminate hidden dangers in Nanjing and control Tang Wang.

Just as Jin Shenghuan passed the Dasheng Pass and came to Nanjing, many internal strife broke out in Nanjing.

Gao Yigong captured two high-ranking officers, Zhao Yinxuan and Wang Deyi, in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and the other three thousand households, as well as some officers who secretly defected to King Tang, were also locked up by Liu Tichun.

Jin Yiwei found not all of them. Some people who were not found saw Jin Yiwei and the guards of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion starting to arrest people. They thought they were exposed, so they rushed to mobilize. ringing everywhere.

Most of these people are officers leading the army, one hero and three gangs, none of them have many reliable confidantes, and it is not easy to catch them, and swords and soldiers will face each other from time to time.

In the city of Nanjing, chaos of varying degrees immediately appeared. The common people, who were full of fear because of the siege of King Lu's army, suddenly ran back to their houses in fright.

Fortunately, in the city of Nanjing, the army that obeyed the orders of the imperial court had an absolute advantage and had prepared in advance, so there was no chaos in the city, and it was quickly brought under control.

However, Nanjing is a big city. If they want to stabilize the city and prevent King Lu from attacking the city, they restrain most of the troops.

There were also soldiers and horses surrounding Tang Palace, but there were only a small number of infantry and Jin Yiwei, which could not form an absolute advantage over the Japanese troops guarding the Palace.

At this moment, the Tang Palace was aware of the turmoil in the city. People in Nanjing were very keen on this change. Tang Wang was a fool and knew that his plan had gone wrong.

Seeing the troops from Jinyiwei and Zhongzhen Town blocking the gates of the palace, the Japanese soldiers were distracted. The leading officer asked Jinyiwei to leave immediately. Walk.

The two sides were at war with each other and confronted each other.

At this time, in the Tang Palace, the Tang King was pacing back and forth in the study room. Wang Huacheng, Xiao Qi and other confidantes of the Tang King, who had been the great scholars of the Yongli Dynasty in history, were explaining the situation to the Tang King.

"Your Highness, Gao Yigong and Jin Yiwei made a move suddenly, and Zhao Yinxuan and Wang Deyi went to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. I'm afraid it will be a disaster."

"Zhao Qianhu, who was guarding the Juxian Gate, was also killed by his subordinate Baihu!"

"Chen Qianhu and Lu Qianhu have also been captured by Jin Yiwei!"

"Your Highness, Jin Yiwei and Zhongzhen Town's troops have already surrounded the palace. Once the city is settled, they will definitely attack His Highness!"

In the study, the aides stated that the news he had just received made King Tang feel confused. He really didn't understand why Gao Yigong and Jin Yiwei didn't take action for a long time, and why they did it at this time.

Outside the palace, the Jinyiwei and the Japanese army were confronting each other. Both sides were a little excited, their emotions exploded, and they might fight at any time.

At this moment, when the two parties were drawing their sabers to face each other, several men dressed as servants suddenly walked towards the palace.

Jin Yiwei was at war with the Japanese army, but he didn't pay attention at first. When they got to the front, Liu Tiren from Zhongzhen Town found them. He immediately shouted: "What are you doing, stop them!"

The soldiers who were originally fighting against the Japanese army only reacted after hearing the order, and quickly pulled out a team of men and stopped more than a dozen men.

"Stop, what are you doing! Get out of here quickly!" a hundred householders in Zhongzhen Town immediately put a knife in their hand and shouted loudly.

"We are servants of the palace, let us go in!" The leader of the man took out a token of Tang Palace.

"This..." Baihu looked at the token and was taken aback for a moment.

At this time Liu Tiren had already walked over, he didn't look at the token, and said directly with a cold face: "Fake, arrest them all!"

In front of the gate of the mansion, the general of the Japanese army guarding the mansion noticed the movement. He looked over and found that these people were all familiar faces, but the token of the mansion of the Tang Dynasty was indeed real.

He didn't know where these people came from, but since the other party had tokens, and there were only a few people, and Liu Tiren wanted to arrest them, he immediately shouted: "Wait a minute, these are people from our Tang Palace, let them in! "

But Liu Tiren couldn't help saying, ignoring the general who praised the Japanese army at all, and shouted directly: "I say that the fake is fake, and I will take it all!"

The soldiers in Zhongzhen Town, naturally listened to their general, and immediately surrounded them artificially, but those men immediately rushed to the gate of the mansion.

The general holding the Japanese army saw that the Zhongzhen Army and the Jinyiwei wanted to arrest someone, so he didn't listen to his words at all, and immediately led the soldiers to grab the person. The two sides immediately confronted each other fiercely at the gate, and the attention of both sides was drawn In front of the palace gate.

At this time, in the alley near the courtyard wall of the Wangfu, several figures quickly rushed to the wall, and then set up a human wall. With their help, a scribe in his 40s climbed a few times before turning over. On the wall of the palace.The scribe found that the wall was very high, he hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth for the last time, and jumped from the wall into the mansion.

In the Tang Palace, the atmosphere of impending disaster was already felt. The eunuchs and maids were in a mess. They could no longer control the fate of the palace.

The flowers raised by King Tang were trampled to pieces. The scribe who jumped in was protected by several soldiers, and hurried towards King Tang's study, ignoring the palace servants in chaos.

At this moment in the study, King Tang and his staff are analyzing the situation. Most of his chess pieces in Nanjing City have been pulled out by Jin Yiwei, and there are still some that have not been found out. Seeing the current situation, I am afraid that they will not stand up to help him. , all he can rely on is a thousand Japanese troops.

But now that the city has been controlled by the imperial court's troops, what effect can his 1000 troops play?

Now Gao Yigong in the city is going to deal with him, and there is King Lu's army outside the city, he really feels like he is in a desperate situation.

Tang Wang really didn't expect that the good situation would suddenly deteriorate into this.

Right now there are King Lu's rebels outside the city, Wang Yan should have been ambushed and killed, how could the court suddenly attack him under such circumstances?Could it be...
When King Tang was pacing, the door of the study suddenly opened, and a guard led the scribe in.

"I greet Your Highness!" The scribe immediately bowed and saluted.

When Tang Wang saw the scribe, he was slightly taken aback, but he didn't react for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up after a while, and he said with great joy, "Why is Zhiyuan here?"

The person who came was none other than Wang Yan's old acquaintance Zhang Jiayu, but he was from Tang Wang's side.
