Chapter 267 Two birds with one stone
Yuwen Chonghe came out of Daxing Palace and couldn't help laughing halfway through the journey, because he could now be sure that the emperor would really not be able to leave him.
Now there are tens of thousands of imperial guards in the city, and the generals are Liu Chongxin. If the emperor expressly wants to take action against Liu Chongxin, the imperial guards may depose the emperor first because they are afraid. Liu Chongxin is not unavailable, but he can also welcome the third prince back to ascend the throne.
"Your Majesty the Imperial Guard dare not use it. He has to wait until Liu Chongxin dies before he dares to attack the Imperial Guard."
Yuwen Chonghe gently stroked his beard and smiled, "Your Majesty, you can see clearly now. Who else can he rely on besides the Yuwen family? It is not only the third prince who is staring at this throne, but also the uncles of His Majesty."
His eldest son Yuwen Chi smiled and said, "Now the left-leading guard and the right-hand guard are in the capital, which is the only barrier for His Majesty."
Now the two guards are in the hands of the Yuwen family. If the emperor wants to do anything, every move depends on the Yuwen family's expression.
"Father."
Yuwen Cong asked, "Then, we really have to listen to Your Majesty and line up the two guards outside the city?"
“It doesn’t matter.”
Yuwen Chong smiled and said, "I have already informed the Imperial General Liu Bu'ang in advance. I told him that if he wants to survive, he must rely on him, instead of guarding Liu Chongxin. Liu Chongxin will definitely die. He can still rely on me to continue to be his Imperial General."
Yuwen Cong smiled and said, "Liu Bu'ang is not stupid either. He will definitely rely on his father. Your Majesty can change one, and his master can also change one."
Yuwen Chong said, "You are lined up outside the city, I am watching on the city wall, guarding the city gates, and I will let Liu Bu'ang's imperial guards guard the four gates of the palace city, and then dispatch troops to support them at any time. Who else can our Majesty? Are the palace maids and eunuchs in Daxing Palace?"
"Ha ha ha ha......"
Yuwen Chi smiled and said with a smile: "Father, as long as you kill Liu Chongxin and ask for an order to seal the Investigation Department, you can get at least millions of gains."
Yuwen Chonghe nodded and said, "You send scouts. If Liu Chongxin really comes back with the troops from the Jingzhou camp, then let him know what there is no way out."
"There is a solid capital in front, and the two guards in your hands, and the Zuo Wu Guards of Prince Wu, behind. Are you guessing that the soldiers from the Jingzhou camp willing to work hard for Liu Chongxin?"
Yuwen Chong congratulated: "After Prince Wu enters the capital, he will take down the military power of the Zuo Wu Guard. Hundreds of thousands of troops are in the hands of our Yuwen family, and Your Majesty can only see our faces."
He let out a long breath and patted his hands heavily from the side.
"It's our Yuwen family's turn!"
Daxing Palace.
Emperor Yang Jing looked at the middle-aged man standing in front of him, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Pu Nu, my father has used you for sixteen years. I have no plans to change someone else. I will always trust you."
Pu Nu leaned over and said, "I, thank you Your Majesty."
Yang Jing said: "I know that when you arrest the assassin Yao Wuhen, your sword was cut off by Yao Wuhen, so I plan to give you a sword."
He stood up and took a wooden sword box from the eunuch Jing Ting's order. He handed the sword box to Pu Nu and said, "This is the armor-breaking one of the Three Emperors of the Great Chu. This sword is cut into iron like mud and can be broken in everything. Today I will hand this sword to you, and you will hold the sword for me."
"I, thank you for your Majesty."
Pu Nu immediately knelt down. Of course, he knew very well what the Three Emperors Sword symbolized. The Great Chu Emperor Sword symbolized His Majesty. The most important thing for him was the recognition of his identity.
"You are doing your own thing on your behalf. As long as the sword is still there, you will bear the emperor's will."
The emperor took a breath and said, "I hope that you can treat me like you did to your father. The world has not changed, and it is still the world of the royal family..."
Yang Jing stretched out his hand
Pu Nu helped him up: "Others don't know who you are, don't I know yet? The Chu Emperor's sword technique is not passed down by outsiders, but the Chu Emperor's sword technique without the Chu Emperor's sword technique is a bit worse after all."
Pu Nu's face changed constantly, the sword was too heavy.
Emperor Taizu of Great Chu was born in the martial arts world and had excellent sword skills. According to the rules of Emperor Taizu, after each new emperor ascended the throne, he would select a person with extremely high talent from the royal family and teach him the sword score of the Emperor Chu. After learning the sword technique of Emperor Chu, this person would hide his name, forget his identity or even his life, and his only mission was to protect the emperor.
When the old emperor passes away and the new emperor ascends the throne, he will choose another person from the royal family and give it to the previous generation of palm swords to cultivate and learn the sword technique of the Emperor Chu.
But the sadness of Pu Nu is that the old emperor did not give him the Armored Sword from beginning to end. The old emperor was hateful and pitiful. He was the emperor but he was increasingly distrustful to anyone named Yang. Even if he placed his life on Pu Nu, he would not be willing to give him the Armored Sword.
The old emperor was in power for a long time. The previous generation of sword sword died unexpectedly and the slaves came back to him. He was very talented and taught himself the sword technique of Emperor Chu, but there was no armor in his palm. This was also a thorn in his heart.
But Punu still remembers the legacy of Emperor Taizu, even if it was not fair to them.
Taizu was a native of the Jianghu and was once the leader of a sect. Before he gained power, his sect was divided into internal and external schools. The inner disciples were regarded as his personal teachings, and the status of the outer disciples was much lower. Although he could learn swordsmanship, he would never get the true teachings. No matter how outstanding he was, he would not be able to inherit the position of the sect leader.
After Chu Taizu ascended the throne and became emperor, he divided the Yang family into two veins: inside the sect and outside the sect. The sect were descendants of his legitimate veins, while outside the sect was a branch of the Yang family.
The fate of each generation of the Yang family outside the sect is to defend the Yang family within the sect to the death. Every generation of the sword is also selected from the Yang family outside the sect.
They are both of the Yang family's bloodline, but they want to be sword slaves.
Yang Jing looked at Pu Nu and said seriously: "I have drafted an order. As long as I kill Liu Chongxin, I will abolish the internal and external families established by Emperor Taizu. They are both the Great Chu royal family, so why both the internal and external families are divided into the Yang family."
He paused for a moment and continued, "I have contacted my foreign family before and asked them to come back to help me. Now all the civil and military officials in the court are selfish, and no one really helps me. The Yang family must hold the Yang family in their own hands."
Punu bowed again, his eyes were already red, and His Majesty's words touched his heartache.
After hundreds of years, foreigners are finally about to be proud.
"I think that after killing Liu Chongxin, I will select people from outside my family to take charge of the imperial guards, take charge of the Jingzhou camp, and take charge of the... "
He lowered his voice in Pu Nu's ear and said a few words. Pu Nu raised his head violently, his eyes full of shock.
The emperor slowly let out a sigh, and said in a cold tone: "Those bastards have the power given by the royal family and all given by the Yang family, but they use the power given by the royal family to threaten the royal family, deceive the royal family, and even want to rebel! I will take back all these imperial powers."
He looked at Pu Nu and said, "The royal family should not be bullied!"
Pu Nu nodded vigorously: "The royal family cannot be bullied!"
A few days later, outside the capital.
Liu Chongxin looked at the tens of thousands of troops waiting for battle outside the city, and his face looked ugly as if he had just swallowed a dead mouse. Yuwen Chonghe actually dared to stop him outside the city. The old fox who was timid in front of him has now become a white-eyed wolf.
Daxing Palace.
The emperor sat on the dragon throne, looked at the hundreds of people in the hall, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Today, I have entrusted my life and death to you."
Hundreds of people bowed to the ground at the same time: "See you to die!"
These hundreds of people were the emperor's death soldiers in the East Palace, and he spent several years training them.
"Defend the Daxing Palace to the death."
emperor
He stood up and said loudly: "If you guard the Daxing Palace, you will also guard the Great Chu Kingdom. If you can't defend it, I will share life and death with you today."
"Long live!"
The people below shouted loudly.
"Long live!"
"Long live!"
Someone hurriedly ran in from outside the hall, fell to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, fight...it's started!"
The emperor nodded, he slowly breathed out and said, "Close the palace gate and wait for Prince Wu to enter the city."
Two hours later, Yuwen Chonghe on the city wall turned around and looked at the other side of the palace city, and suddenly woke up. He snorted and said, "So that's it. Go and send an order to Liu Bu'ang, let him break through the Daxing Palace and capture the emperor!"
The subordinates immediately went to pass the order.
Another hour later, the imperial guards began to attack Daxing Palace. At this time, the emperor's death soldiers in the East Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs, all of them took up weapons to guard the palace gate.
the next day.
The emperor put on his armor and stood on the city wall to resist the fierce attack of the imperial guards with the dead. In the afternoon, for some reason, countless people rushed from all directions. They attacked the imperial guards fearlessly, and then formed a circle of defense outside the palace.
After another day of death, Prince Wu came back.
Outside the city gate, Prince Wu rode his horse to Liu Chongxin more than ten feet away. He looked at Liu Chongxin and asked, "Why did you attack the capital?"
Liu Chongxin said angrily: "The old thief Yuwen Chonghe has taken His Majesty hostage. I am saving His Majesty!"
Prince Wu pondered for a moment, then turned his head suddenly to look at Tong Meng and said loudly: "What are you waiting for? You will kill this eunuch then!"
Tong Meng was stunned at first, then his face changed drastically. He looked at Liu Chongxin: "Supermaster, foster father! Don't listen to his provocation!"
Prince Wu pulled out his long sword and shouted loudly: "Stand up my big flag!"
The personal guard behind him immediately raised the banner of the left Wu Guard.
"After orders, we will fight against the rebels and kill the thief!"
Prince Wu shouted and urged the horse to charge. The army in Jingzhou was more than 100,000, but no one dared to stop Prince Wu. Wherever Prince Wu's banner went, all the soldiers left their weapons and surrendered.
Prince Wu conquered the Jingzhou camp in just half a day and captured Liu Chongxin and Tong Meng alive. He ordered the army to retreat, and then took his personal guards to the outside of the city gate, pointed a long sword at the defenders on the city gate and shouted: "Open the city gate and do not blame them before the past. If I attack, I will destroy the nine clans."
Prince Wu has the reputation of the Great Chu Wu God. Who among the Chu army is not awe?
The soldiers and soldiers guarding the city looked at me and I saw you. No matter how the Yuwen family ordered, they would not dare to shoot arrows at Prince Wu.
"Since I don't dare to kill me, why don't I kill the thief by me?! Open the city gate and kill the treacherous and slandered people, you are all meritorious ministers of the Great Chu!"
Prince Wu shouted loudly: "Those who open the city gate will be the first contribution!"
I originally thought that if I could control the capital by holding the two guards, the people of the Yuwen family did not expect that Prince Wu would be afraid of the soldiers of the defenders.
The city gate was wide open, and Prince Wu led a large army into the capital.
On this day, Prince Wu started a massacre in the city, and more than 30,000 imperial guards besieged by Daxing Palace were killed by Prince Wu, and the rest were all kneeled down and surrendered.
Prince Wu conferred the Yuwen family, seized Liu Chongxin's mansion, and directly destroyed the entire family of the imperial guards, Liu Bu'ang, and ordered the left Wu Guard to take over the city defense. The surrendered troops of the imperial guards were handed over to the guards of the large camp of Jingzhou. The left guards and the right Wu Guards were all retreated outside the capital and waiting for dispatch.
Daxing Palace, outside the palace gate.
Prince Wu, covered in blood, walked to the door and knelt down on his knees.
"Your Majesty, I'm back!"
