Chapter 142: Precarious
The inner city has been guarded by Yuan Hu and Yun Dingxing and his guards. Each city gate is about 200 people, but after all, it is impossible for him to split up the five city gates. At least three city gates are controlled by other Zhechonglang in the future.
At a city gate in the southeast corner, the general Zhechong Lang on duty tonight was Pang Ying, who was half of the Hu people's blood. Because his biological mother was the daughter of a Hu Shang, his father's clan also had a small status among the Guanlong nobles, and he was able to serve as a general in the palace. This was an honor.
The emperor's guards were left and right commanders in the twelve guards, including generals, Qianniu, preparatory bodies, chiefs, Sima, Zhechonglang, etc.
Generally, Qianniu is prepared, and the emperor is the emperor's personal bodyguard. He is stationed inside and outside the palace where the emperor is sleeping. General Zhechong Lang leads ordinary guards to be responsible for the safety responsibilities of the palace gate and palace garden.
The responsibilities of guarding the imperial city are generally taken by the left and right garrisons and gates; the guards in the capital are taken by the left and right garrisons and guards, and the guards outside the capital are taken by the left and right garrisons and Wuweis.
As they spread out layer by layer, the Military Palace each has its own responsibilities.
At this moment, a small group of people rushed from the inner city streets. Pang Ying frowned, pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, and stopped him with his guards, and asked head-on: "Who is coming? Which guard is the subordinate?"
"This general, we are here by the emperor's order..." Someone answered and continued to move forward.
"Stop, report your belongings and names, and give the emperor's order, and show your Majesty's decree or gold medal!" Pang Ying's face was deep and he shouted loudly.
"Okay, we are... from the East Palace!" As soon as the words fell, some crossbows sounded, and some people in the crowd were holding short crossbows and shooting at the guards inside the city gate.
Puff puff puff —
A guard was shot, and arrows pierced through human armor and flesh and blood.
Yu Zan and Sima Dekan led two or three hundred Eastern Palace guards to kill them, and rushed out of some dark corners. With the thunderous momentum, they instantly suppressed the guards here.
Whether in preparation or number of people, the guards of the East Palace had the upper hand. In an instant, the war was handed over, bloody and bloody, the remaining limbs fell off, and the level of rolling.
"kill--"
The fighting suddenly exploded. Although there were only a few hundred people shouting to kill, the night sky was too quiet and there was no noise. It was at the foot of the mountain, and the terrain belonging to the basin, the sound echoed, and the entire inner city could be faintly heard.
"Swish————”
Some guards fired arrows and asked for help from the guards at other city gates.
Luo Zhaoyun, Yu Wenhua and others outside the city rushed over after hearing the news. At this time, half of the gate had been opened. They led hundreds of people into the city gate, working inside and outside, and soon annihilated the troops at the city gate.
"Where is Your Highness King Jin?" Yu Zan shouted.
"I am here!" Yang Zhao, the King of Jin, walked out with a fat body, had his breastplate on his body and was wearing military uniform.
"Where is the princess?"
"I'm temporarily protecting the garrison in the outer city. Let's go, I'm going to meet my father!" Yang Zhao remained calm and showed his steadfast demeanor as the prince.
Yu Zan nodded and said yes, turned around and asked Yu Wen and: "General Yu Wen, how many people have you brought here!"
Yu Wenhe said: "More than 500 people are all loyal people!"
Yu Zan said: "We are trying to mobilize some people to come and guard the door. We are going back to protect His Royal Highness."
Yu Wenji also knew the seriousness of the matter and ordered some subordinates to mobilize people. However, he was just a general in the sect and could not cover the sky with one hand. Without military talismans and emperor's orders, most of the people who could be transferred were under his jurisdiction. He usually had good mercy and authority, and he obeyed his words very much. He often didn't care whether there was an emperor's order to show it.
Just at this moment, hundreds of guards came from other inner city gates and killed them. Yu Wenji and others saw it, their faces changed slightly. Yu Zan said, "I'll stay here too. You must guard it. Zhao Xingshu has been ordered to find Linghu Xingda. As long as you persist for a quarter of an hour, we will have reinforcements. Sima Dekan, you will take the guards of the East Palace to escort the King of Jin to the Beidou Hall to meet the prince and explain the situation outside."
"I understand, general." Sima Dekan bowed and called Changlin Wei to withdraw from here and gathered in line.
"Let's go to the Beidou Hall!" After the King of Jin gave the order, more than 100 cavalry, together with nearly 300 guards, rushed to the Beidou Hall on the hillside.
Luo Zhaoyun remained with King Jin without saying a word. Only by escorting him to the prince would his mission be completely completed.
As soon as they left, there were fierce shouts of killing at the city gate. There were four or five hundred people on both sides, and they started fighting in one go.
Yu Zan, Yu Wen and the soldiers who led the sect, were blood-splied with the guards of the left and right leaders of the left and right governments brought by Yuan Hu.
The sound of screams and screams had spread in the cities inside and outside Renshou Palace, echoing in the night sky of the basin, awakening many officials.
The other palaces at the foot of Tiantai Mountain cover a vast area, with thousands of acres, and various inns, courtyards, pavilions, palaces and houses. These days, many civil and military ministers have come to visit His Majesty's illness to fulfill the feelings of the monarch and his ministers. These ministers have been arranged to live at the foot of the mountain, as well as the guards of the East Palace and the guards of the princes, who also stay at the foot of the mountain.
Therefore, the shouts of killing awakened many civil and military ministers, and their faces changed drastically, not knowing what was born outside.
Now in the prosperous Great Sui Dynasty, there are no thieves, vassal soldiers, and enemy troops coming here. Then there is only one possibility, and someone wants to rebel.
Some important officials with very old qualifications immediately understood that it must be the Crown Prince Yang Guang and Yang Yong's forces behind him who were fighting for the last life-and-death battle.
"Go back and sleep, it's not our business!" The noble ministers of the clan smiled coldly. It didn't matter who they won or lost, and it would not affect them.
The imperial power has changed, but the aristocratic families have remained unchanged. In the past three hundred years, there has been no unchanging royal family, only the aristocratic families that have stood firm.
Therefore, although many aristocrats are loyal to the royal family, they are arrogant in their hearts, and are bloody and rebellious in their hearts. Submission is only superficial and temporary. They all feel that for decades, when the dynasty collapses and changes again, they are still prominent nobles and no one can shake them.
Anyone who ascended the throne and became emperor must win over the nobles and clans in the world. Otherwise, if he goes against it, his throne will not be preserved.
In Renshou Hall, Liu Shu, Yuan Yan and others had already done their foreplay and made up their orders. They immediately ordered troops to arrest Yang Guang and carry out the major matter of destruction.
This task was handed over to the left general Xiahou Yi, who led hundreds of people, all of whom were warriors, family soldiers and others prepared in advance by the Yuan clan, and went to the Beidou Palace.
Yu Chengdu only brought more than 30 people to protect the death. After a moment of confrontation, he blocked the palace gate and did not allow the hundreds of people to rush in.
Yang Guang was paced back and forth in the room at this time, his face nervous. He had already heard the shouts of killing, but he didn't know what the battle was going on at the city gate, and who had the upper hand?
Now, there is also a fierce battle at the entrance of the Beidou Palace, which is in danger. His face is ashen. Such a dangerous situation has made Yang Guang feel angry. He is a disgusted with aristocratic families and a hatred for those who are not afraid of the imperial power. Perhaps, it is precisely because of this experience and torture on the edge of life and death that Yang Guang is suspicious and one of the causes of his superiority in the future. (To be continued.)
