Chapter 729 The Grand Finale (20)
No one expected that such a sudden change would happen, especially Xu Jinnian, who simply didn't understand why the emperor would suddenly backtrack, did he not want to live?
It wasn't until there were louder and louder discussions in the hall that he suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly shouted: "The emperor has been ill for so long, isn't it because he is confused? Come on, help the emperor back quickly." Go rest in the empress's palace!"

The eunuchs standing on both sides of the throne came back to their senses as if they had just woken up from a dream, and stepped forward to forcibly take the emperor back to Fengyi Hall.

The emperor didn't know where the strength came from, so he threw away the two eunuchs who were the leader, and shouted to the civil and military officials: "What are you all still doing in a daze, the rebellious ministers and thieves are all punished, hurry up and escort them!"

When the civil and military officials heard the words, a voice finally called out: "Today, Murong Ke's mother and son and Xu Jinnian conspired to usurp the throne. As a minister, I will never bear it. Can you bear it?" It was none other than Lu Zhongmian, the Duke of Ding. .

Lu Zhongmian took the lead, and all civil and military officials responded immediately. Several generals took the opportunity to rush to the emperor, and built a human wall with their bodies, blocking the emperor behind him.

Xu Jinnian saw that the Zen position was impossible, he laughed loudly, and shouted after laughing: "Since you are all so loyal to the Lord, I can only help you, come here, give me all the disobedient people in the hall Take it!"

Some people in the hundred officials began to relax, life or death, no one knows how to choose.

Just when everyone was secretly in a dilemma, a person suddenly stood up in the crowd and shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness, with the five city soldiers and horses, the five army battalions and Jin Yiwei, is already on the way to the palace to serve the king. Now, everyone, don’t be afraid, as long as we work together, we will be able to protect the holy car, and we will be able to keep ourselves safe and sound!”

Everyone followed the sound and saw that the speaker was the uncle of King Duan, the eldest son of General Wei, since the words came from his mouth, naturally there could be no falsehood.

The hearts of all the officials became firm again in an instant, and they formed a confrontation with the Jinwu guards who drew their swords, and some people scolded those Jinwu guards: "Didn't you hear what the emperor said just now? Hurry up and put down the swords in your hands, don't worry about it again!" Help the tyrant to abuse, otherwise you will have to follow the rebellious officials and thieves to death, and you will be stigmatized for thousands of years!"

The scolding caused some Jinwu Guards to start to waver. The existence of the Jinwu Guards has always been to defend the holy car, but now they have started to force the palace, what's the matter?

Seeing that Xu Jinnian and Murong Ke were both so angry that one Buddha was born and the other ascended to heaven, they scolded Duan Wang to death in their hearts. Just now, the two felt that there was one person missing in the hall, but because they were too excited, they didn't see each other for a while. Realizing who is missing, now I know that the culprit, Duan Wang, is missing!
He even scolded the emperor to death. It turned out that the compromises he had to make before were all fakes, just to paralyze them, so that they could give them a blow in public. Since he didn't want to kill him, they simply granted him!
The uncle and nephew looked at each other, and they made a rare tacit decision to take advantage of the chaos and take down the emperor as a threat. As long as the emperor is in their hands, they will be invincible.

I don't want the two of them to act yet, the Jin Wuwei trotted in and said in a panic: "Return to His Royal Highness, the Duke, Duan Wang brought the Wucheng Bingmasi and the Fifth Army Battalion, as well as people from the Jinyiwei came in." , now people are outside the Shunzhen Sect, and our people are not half of theirs, I am afraid that we will soon be unable to withstand it, so please ask His Highness the Crown Prince to show me what to do?"

His Royal Highness King Duan really came... The atmosphere in the palace instantly relaxed, but Xu Jinnian was about to go crazy, and asked the Jin Wuwei angrily: "No army can enter the Nine Palace Gates without an oracle. What are you all doing?" You can't even guard the gate of the palace!"

The Jinwu Guard said with a sad face: "His Royal Highness Duan took the letter written by the Queen Mother, saying that he entered the palace to seek rebellion according to the Queen Mother's order. He was also accompanied by Shi Qian, the original commander of the Jinwu Guard. Most of the people in the Jinwu Guard were him. The old genus, several palace gates were opened without a fight..."

Now Xu Jinnian was not only angry, but also panicked. He already had limited manpower, otherwise he would not be in a hurry to hold the Zen position ceremony. Slowly let the civil and military officials be truly convinced.

Who knew that Prince Duan actually got the Queen Mother's autographed letter as a token under his nose, and the Emperor, knowing that his body was poisonous, would rather die than be constrained by them, so he really complied with that sentence." Are people not as good as heaven?"

Taking a deep breath, Xu Jinnian laughed and said to the civil and military officials: "You want to be loyal ministers, don't you know that loyal ministers generally do not end well, and you have to pay the price? This is the end of the matter, I simply opened the skylight with you To put it bluntly, I have arranged people in the streets and alleys of the capital early in the morning. As soon as I receive my signal, I will kill all your family members. If it doesn’t work, I don’t think it will actually be used. This is the so-called preparedness? Now I will give you the last time, whether to pay homage to the new king or to resist to the end, you choose yourself!”

Everyone's expressions changed drastically. They didn't expect Xu Jinnian to be so vicious. Although he was so angry that his eyes were tearing apart, he couldn't help but be wary. After all, they were their relatives. If they want them to watch their relatives go to death, it would be hard for them to do anything. People with a heart can't bear it, including those generals who protect the emperor.

Xu Jinnian was waiting for this moment. Seeing that several generals were in a trance, he immediately drew his sword and knocked down one of them with lightning speed, and then kicked the other away, holding the emperor hostage in his hands as he wished.

All this happened between flint and lightning, not only the few generals, but even the two top secret guards standing not far from the emperor who secretly protected the emperor failed to react, when everyone finally reacted, but It's too late.

Xu Jinnian laughed long and loudly: "Now that your emperor is in my hands, I will ask you one last time, whether to pay homage to the new emperor or to fight to the end. If you are still stubborn, then don't blame me for not remembering the old comrades!"

At this moment, all the officials have been aroused to be bloody. In front of so many people, they dare to do this to the emperor, let alone these small characters?Everyone knows that Murong Ke and An Guogong must retaliate. I have never seen what happened to Du Peiyun and others who betrayed them in the past. Who knows that their fate will be better than Du Peiyun and others. It is better to resist to the end, whatever the outcome You can also gain the reputation of a loyal minister!

They all shouted: "Brave traitor, let go of the emperor!", "We swear to live and die with the emperor!", "The thieves and thieves are all caught and punished. You wait for His Royal Highness Duan Wang to come in and die." Let's go to a different place!"
