Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 775

"Liu An, come out!"

When they came to the Xuanshi Hall, Cai Wenji didn't enter, but yelled, telling Liu An to come out to see him.

"Mother!"

Liu An walked out of the hall and went outside to salute Cai Wenji.

"Do you still see me as a mother? Ah? What do you mean by arresting Yang Jindao? Are you going to force me to death?"

As soon as Cai Yan changed his mother Yitianxia's image, he pointed at Liu An and sternly reprimanded him.

"Mother, someone reported to me that Yang Jindao may be collaborating with the enemy. For the safety of the palace, I must arrest him and investigate him. When the matter is clear, if Yang Jindao is innocent, I will naturally let him go!"

Liu An was neither humble nor overbearing, and what he said seemed to mean something.

"Liu An, your father will not spare you lightly when you do such a treacherous thing! I advise you to stop as soon as possible!"

Cai Wenji couldn't agree with Liu An, so she could only pull out Liu Wei, trying to keep Liu An in check.

"When my father comes back, I will explain to my father, I think my father will understand me!"

Liu An bowed to Cai Wenji and said, "The sun is so hot, please return to the palace to rest!"

"you……!"

Cai Wenji kept nodding her head, and finally said: "Liu An, you are doing well!"

After saying that, Cai Wenji waved her hands and brought the maid back to Jiaofang Palace.

The maids and guards present were all thoughtful, knowing that something big might happen in this palace.

After Cai Wenji left, Liu An ordered to the guards of the Eastern Palace he brought: "Transfer the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Palace into the imperial city, and take over the guards of the four gates!"

"Here!"

Liu An's confidants immediately took Liu An's token back to the East Palace to dispatch troops.

After the soldiers of the East Palace guarded the four gates of the palace, Liu Peng, who was stationed outside the city, also led his troops outside the palace.

"stop!"

The East Palace guard who guarded the palace called Liu Peng to stop.

Sitting on the horse, Liu Peng found that the guards guarding the palace gate had been changed from Huben Guards to East Palace guards. He was very puzzled, took the token in his hand, and shouted loudly: "By the queen's order, I will lead the troops into the palace!"

"His Royal Highness, wait a moment, let me...!"

Before the guard of the East Palace could finish his sentence, he heard someone shouting from behind: "Joke, there is no reason for foreign soldiers to enter the palace. Your Highness, Second Prince, you should take your people away!"

Liu Peng raised his head and looked ahead, the person who spoke was the chief guard of the Eastern Palace, Liu An's confidant and beloved general Liu Ren.

"Liu Ren, look carefully. This is the queen's token. It is the queen who ordered me to lead the army into the palace. Get out of the way!"

Liu Peng rode his horse and was about to move forward.

"Presumptuous! Dong Gongwei, prepare to defend against the enemy!"

Following Liu Ren's order, the soldiers at the gate of the palace raised their spears, and the guards on the city wall tightened their bowstrings.

"Protect His Highness the Second Prince!"

The soldiers and horses brought by Liu Peng also drew their weapons and pointed at Dong Gongwei on the opposite side.

"Liu Ren, do you dare to point your weapon at His Highness?"

Liu Peng's face darkened, and he looked at Liu Ren gloomyly.

"Second prince, by order of the crown prince, the last general will guard the south gate of the palace. No one is allowed to enter without the order of the prince. If the second prince wants to enter the palace, I can inform the prince. However, if you want to bring troops in, that's not right. possible!"

Liu Ren was not afraid of Liu Peng at all, and confronted Liu Peng tit for tat.

"I'll say it again, I'm ordered by the queen to lead the army into the palace! If you dare to stop me again, my highness will kill you on the spot!"

Liu Peng had already drawn out the sword from his waist, and his eagle-like eyes fixed on Liu Ren.

"I'll say it again, under the order of the crown prince, to guard the south gate of the palace. No one is allowed to enter without the order of the crown prince!"

Liu Ren did his part, and looked at Liu Peng.

"kill!"

Liu Peng didn't talk nonsense, and raised his sword to stab Liu Ren.

The soldiers behind Liu Peng also charged forward.

"Stop it! Stop it all for me!"

Just as the two groups were about to engage in hand-to-hand combat, Prince Liu An arrived in time and stopped the two groups.

"Big brother!"

"Prince!"

Liu Peng and Liu Ren also stopped and saluted Liu An together.

"What are you doing? Liu Ren, don't you know that is my second brother?"

Liu An scolded Liu Ren first, and then asked Liu Peng, "Do you know what you are doing? Leading troops to attack the imperial city, you are rebelling!"

Liu Peng took out Cai Wenji's token again, and said, "Brother, it was my mother who asked me to lead the troops into the palace! What's going on? Why did the guards guarding the palace become your east palace guards!"

"Second brother, what's going on here can't be explained in a few words. You take the soldiers and horses out of the city first, and you will know what's going on tomorrow morning!"

Liu An didn't say much, and asked Liu Peng to take the soldiers and horses out first.

"Brother, I won't go out, you have to explain to me what's going on, why the queen mother suddenly let me lead soldiers into the palace, what happened?"

Although Liu Peng is good at martial arts, he is not a fool. There must be something wrong with him.

"Hey, let someone take the soldiers and horses out first, what's going on, you and I enter the palace, and I'll explain it to you in detail!"

"Okay! You go out of the city first, and my eldest brother and I go into the palace!"

Liu Peng turned and said to the lieutenant general.

And just when Liu Peng turned around to give the order, Liu Ren made a gesture of wiping his neck to Liu An, and then secretly pointed to Liu Peng.

Liu An stared at Liu Ren hard, then shook his head, signaling Liu Ren not to act rashly.

After Liu Peng's deputy general left the city with his troops, Liu An took Liu Peng's hand and entered the imperial city.

On the way, Liu Peng couldn't help but asked, "Brother, what happened? Why were there so many soldiers and horses outside the city yesterday, and the people in this city are spreading rumors that the emperor was defeated in the south and lost a large area?" soil of!"

Liu An stood still, turned to Liu Peng, and said with red eyes: "The people are not spreading rumors, the father was indeed defeated in Yuzhou, and the father is also missing!"

"what?"

Liu Peng paled in panic, and was stunned for a while, then asked with blank eyes: "Then how is the father's situation now?"

"do not know!"

Liu An shook his head, and then said: "I am afraid of turmoil in the country, and I want to ascend the throne, but my mother disagrees, so I will let you lead troops into the city!"

Liu Peng was shocked again. In such a short while, he heard two earth-shattering events. How could Liu Peng remain calm.

"Brother wants to ascend the throne?"

After being shocked, Liu Peng asked.

"Well, second brother, what do you think?"

Liu An looked at Liu Peng expectantly, hoping that Liu Peng could support him, because although Liu Peng was only the second prince, he held tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands.

Liu Peng was silent, and after a long time, he opened his mouth and said, "Brother, I have no objection to your ascension to the throne!"

Liu An's tightly clenched hands suddenly loosened.

But then, Liu Peng said again: "But I will not support you either. I will hand over the military power in my hand and return the military power to you. I will resign and go home!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Peng didn't intend to continue entering the palace, so he gave Liu An Cai Wenji's token, turned around and left the palace, and when he got home, he sent someone to return the tiger amulet that controls military power to Liu An.
