concubines are respected

Chapter 137 Forcing the Palace
"Bold, could it be that someone dares to rebel against me!" The emperor yelled angrily, raised his hand and slapped the imperial case in front of him heavily, and the fine wine in the wine cup spilled out from the trembling imperial case.

"Father, calm down, my son will lead the Habayashi army to repel the rebels!" The third prince clasped his fists and shouted loudly.

Immediately, without waiting for the emperor to respond, he rushed to the outside of the palace with strides.The second prince was stunned for a moment, and immediately followed out.

Although the Empress Dowager is old, after all, she has gone through two dynasties, even though her face turned pale with shock, she still sat calmly on the phoenix seat, looking at the palace with a calm expression.

In the Longevity Hall, the assassin has fled without a trace, leaving only the shocking courtiers and concubines with pale faces.

"Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient. The third prince has led the army to escort him. I believe he will be able to quell the chaotic party." The queen mother spoke in a deep voice, with a dignified and dignified demeanor.

Concubine Yuan, who was sitting in the second seat on the right, had always been sick, and today she dragged her sick body to attend the banquet. Now that this mess happened, her face became extremely horrified, she caressed her chest, He said softly, "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, there are people making trouble now, why don't you take refuge in the apse temporarily to save..."

Concubine Yuan hadn't finished speaking, and Concubine Lan took the words in disdain, "How can the apse be safe? If the Yulin army loses, once the rebellious party invades, I am afraid that the imperial city will not be safe. Instead, the emperor will Why not sit in the Longevity Palace and protect the imperial city with the spirit of a real dragon."

Concubine Lan's temperament has always been like this, the more anxious she speaks, the less pleasant she is. Although there is some truth in this statement, it is extremely harsh to the emperor's ears.

"Concubine Lan, what do you mean, my Habayashi army can't wipe out the chaotic party?" The emperor looked at Concubine Lan coldly.

"Ah?!" A look of astonishment flashed across Concubine Lan's face, and she immediately realized that she had made a mistake, "The emperor... the concubine doesn't mean that... the concubine means that once the rebellious party invades the imperial city... ·”

The more the words became more chaotic, the more the descriptions became darker, the emperor's whole body became more air-conditioned, and his eyes became sharper.

Seeing this, the fifth prince on the side immediately said in a low voice, "Concubine Mother, it's useless to talk too much at this time, we'd better wait for the good news."

Concubine Lan immediately fell silent and sat down sullenly.

It's fine for the fifth prince not to speak, but at this moment, when he came out, he immediately attracted the emperor's attention, "Ze'er, at this time, there is a rebellion outside the palace, and your third and second brothers have come out of the palace to charge the battle, you are safe and sound. Sit firmly in the hall and wait for the good news! Humph! What a good time for the good news!"

"Father..." The fifth prince is used to being pampered and pampered. When has he ever seen such a battle? Just now, the assassins disturbed him and he was already panicked. Then the third prince took the initiative to ask for a fight and left very quickly. The second prince was always not good at words and was confused Zhong didn't reply, so he followed the third prince and left him aside, and he simply fell silent.

Originally hidden in the crowd, it's fine if no one pays attention, but who would have thought that her mother and concubine's words were careless, and if she annoyed her father, she couldn't help but show her head.

Unexpectedly, the angry emperor just happened to pull him out, and there was no way to avoid it. The fifth prince knew that he was wrong, and hurriedly responded, "Father, my son is going to help!"

After speaking, he strode out of the hall...

As soon as he walked to the entrance of the hall, a waiter rushed past him and shouted loudly, "Report to the emperor, after hearing the news, Marquis Annan led his troops to surround the gate of Qiankun, and the third prince led the Yulin army from the gate of Qiankun." Ying Tianmen intercepted them, and now they have trapped the rebellious party in the paddock in front of Langri Palace, the rebellious party is like a turtle in a urn, and it is easy to capture them."

Hearing the words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Suxian's hanging heart finally fell back.Hearing the words, the fifth prince also stopped and returned to the hall.

"Okay! Do you know who caused the disturbance?" The emperor was overjoyed and shouted sharply.

"This... this... The slaves are standing on the palace wall to watch the battle. Because they are far away, they can't see clearly. They can only vaguely see the disorderly party with neat armor and uniform spears. "··" The servant who summoned the messenger squeaked uncomfortably.

"Say, what does it look like?" The emperor shouted impatiently.

"According to the slave, it looks like a general in the imperial court..." the servant finally said after gritting his teeth.

"Soldiers in the court?" The emperor was startled and murmured, "The generals in the court, those who hold heavy soldiers are all old ministers I can trust. Could it be that some of them turned against me?"

Then he looked down the hall suspiciously.

All the ministers in the hall, when they heard that it was a rebellion by the soldiers of the imperial court, they all panicked and looked at each other in blank dismay. They really couldn't figure out which of the near ministers had the courage to make such a disturbance.

At this moment, another good news came from outside the hall. The third prince and Marquis Annan had already surrounded the rebel party with my hands, and captured the commander alive.

Not long after, a row of Habayashi troops rushed to the Longevity Hall in an orderly manner, and guarded in front of the Longevity Hall in an orderly manner.Then a man with five flowers tied up, a blue cloth hood over his head, dressed like a commander, was escorted into the hall by two Habayashi soldiers.

The third prince, the second prince and Marquis An Nan also entered after him. Although their clothes were a little disheveled and their expressions were a little tired, they were unscathed and presumably not injured.

"Return to father, this is the leader of the rebellious party. My son deliberately put him in front of the holy place, please the emperor to decide!" The third prince raised his voice and replied.

"Take off the hood and let me see who has the courage to rebel against my world!" The emperor shouted angrily, staring at the leader of the rebellious party who was wearing a hood.

The third prince smiled coldly, turned around and circled the man, and said in a deep voice, "You know people, you know your face, but you don't know your heart. This man is an important minister in the court. If Nai Erchen hadn't captured it with his own hands, even I would not believe it." How dare he rebel!"

Seeing that the third prince wanted to take credit for this move, the fifth prince on the side curled his lips in disdain, and said, "Brother three, this is not the time for you to take credit. Father asked you to take off this person's hood, didn't you hear clearly?" ?”

The third prince glanced sideways at the fifth prince, and without thinking about it, he raised his hand and took off the man's hood.

The leader of the rebellious party showed his face, and everyone in the hall was shocked, and then there was a burst of whispering, "Ah, General Lan!"

"Oh, why is it him!"

The fifth prince took a closer look, and was even more surprised that his voice changed, "Uncle, you... why are you!"

Concubine Lan, who was waiting to watch the show, saw that the rebellious party turned out to be her elder brother, as if she couldn't believe her eyes, she raised her hand and rubbed it, stepped forward to take a closer look, and after confirming that it was correct, she finally cried out sadly, "Brother, You are crazy, how can you rebel!"

The emperor didn't say anything at this time, he just looked at Concubine Lan's mother and son coldly, his eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes became colder and colder, as if he was thinking about something.

This person is none other than Lan Fei's elder brother - Lan Pinggui.

Lan Pinggui is a second-rank military general, armed with [-] city guards, he has a fierce temperament and is extremely good at fighting, but this person is a single-minded person who only knows how to fight, but he is actually brave but not resourceful.

At this time, the fifth prince questioned Concubine Lan, knowing that the guilt was inevitable, but seeing the innocent faces of Concubine Lan and her son, he immediately shouted angrily, "Sister, the plan failed. I also admitted it. But all of this, my brother was instructed by your secret letter. In order to help the fifth prince succeed in ascending the throne, he forced the palace at the risk of his life. At this time, you put on an appearance that you have nothing to do with yourself, Wouldn't it be chilling to be a brother!"

"Brother, what did you say? When did my sister give you a secret letter, and when did she order you to lead troops to force the palace?" Concubine Lan almost held her breath in shock, her voice subconsciously lowered a lot.

Lan Pinggui snorted heavily, turned his head to the side, and no longer looked at Concubine Lan, but his one-sided problem could not be changed, and he continued to mutter, "It was clearly stated in the secret letter that I will lead the army to attack for my brother." Entering, the five princes will respond in the palace, such an internal and external attack, will surely win a complete victory. I don't want to, for my brother to attack the imperial city, but there will be heavy soldiers blocking my brother from the Qiankun Gate and Yingtian Gate... this is why Got it right..."

Lan Pinggui said a lot of complaints, and the emperor listened to it without trial, and immediately shouted angrily, "Enough! Concubine Lan, since you entered the palace, I have treated you well, Ze My son is my own son, not to mention my love for you. And Lan Pinggui, as the general who protects the city, you have received a generous salary from the court. I think you are the elder brother of Concubine Lan, and I did not send you Expeditions to fend off enemies and dangers. I have treated you so favorably, but I never thought that you would conspire to rebel and force the palace, trying to put me to death! Such courage, such vicious hearts!"

Concubine Lan turned pale in shock, she didn't care to talk to Lan Pinggui, she hurriedly knelt down on the spot, and said repeatedly, "No, no, your majesty, you heard from my concubine that my eldest brother rebelled, and my concubine didn't know about it, and Ze'er was also deceived." In the dark. This matter is only done by the elder brother alone, and has nothing to do with the concubine and Ze'er. I hope the emperor will investigate clearly!"

"You!" Seeing that Concubine Lan insisted on denying it, Lan Pinggui yelled angrily, then stomped his feet heavily and said nothing more.

"Concubine Lan, do you want me to investigate clearly? In this situation, do I still need to investigate?" The emperor sneered, "It is a fact that your elder brother Lan Pinggui led troops to force the palace. Just now, the conversation between your brother and sister, I I also listened to every word. What else do you want me to investigate? Now that the matter is up to now, why do you have to argue!"

The feeling of being betrayed by relatives is the most uncomfortable. The emperor turned his face to the side in resentment, and happened to see Lin Mocheng leaning against the second seat with a pale face. After hearing the news, the imperial doctor who rushed over was taking his pulse, and he was even more resentful. , "What Lan Pinggui said just now, let Ze'er act as an internal response. At this moment, it seems that the assassin who wanted to assassinate me just now must be Ze'er's internal response. Lan Pinggui was attacking the city outside, and Ze'er killed people in the palace. Father, it's a good attack from inside and outside, and you almost won my world. If Lin Aiqing hadn't stood up to protect you, your plan would have been at least half successful!"

After finishing speaking, the emperor ignored the concubine Lan's mother and son kneeling in the auditorium, and shouted angrily, "Pass down my will, protect the general Lan Pinggui, kill the king and plot rebellion, and destroy his nine clans! Concubine Lan made trouble with him and abolished him!" As a concubine, I will bestow three feet of white silk. The fifth prince, Nan Gongze..."

Speaking of this, the emperor hesitated... No matter what, he is his own son, tiger poison does not eat offspring, this son should be executed for crimes, but he really can't do it, how should he deal with it.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager hated her for not fighting, but she also worriedly whispered, "Think carefully, Your Majesty!"

The emperor seldom murmured, and continued to speak in a deep voice, "The fifth prince, Nan Gongze, was demoted to a commoner, exiled outside the pass, and will never be allowed to enter Beijing!"

Immediately after the imperial decree, the Habayashi Army stepped forward and dragged Concubine Lan and others down.

"Your Majesty, my concubine has been wronged..."

"Father, my son is wronged, my son is wronged..."

Concubine Lan's mother and son's stern voice faded away, and an invisible smile appeared on the corners of Su Xian's lips, wronged?If you talk about injustice, isn't it not injustice that Zhang's house was full of families back then?
