Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

 Chapter 424 Palace Change

 The emperor's anger caused blood to flow for thousands of miles.

If this matter is decided, both the General Zhou's Mansion and the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion will be guilty of genocide.

Although Emperor Ming promised not to embarrass her husband and three children, the eldest princess had been married into the palace for decades. Not to mention that everyone in the palace had long been relatives that she could not let go. Even her daughter-in-law and several grandchildren were her lifeblood. The child is average.

How could the eldest princess watch helplessly as Emperor Ming killed other people in the palace?

Since they couldn’t help themselves, the eldest princess was not sure whether A Tian and Zhou Yi could not help but do something rebellious because of their love for each other. But no matter what the fact was, what she cared about most was the well-being of her husband’s family.

The eldest princess lowered her figure and said to Emperor Ming: "Brother, please listen to my sister's advice. The eldest sister can guarantee that A Tian and Zhou Yi will never do such a thing."

Emperor Ming sighed and said, "I know the eldest sister can't bear to see the duke suffer disaster, but I am an emperor. How can the eldest sister let me swallow such a shame and humiliation?"

Emperor Ming waved his dragon sleeves and said firmly: "I have made up my mind. Even if the eldest sister pleads for them again, I will never show mercy again."

The two siblings were arguing here. Li Dequan, the general manager of the palace, ran in in a panic. When he saw Emperor Ming and the eldest princess, he was so panicked that he couldn't even care about the courtesy. He panted and said: "Your Majesty, something serious has happened. The prince has rebelled." , surrounded Prince Jin’s Mansion and killed Prince Jin, and now he has surrounded the inner palace.”

When Emperor Ming suddenly heard the bad news, he was so shocked that he collapsed on the ground and murmured: "How could it be like this? How could it be like this?"

At the critical moment, the eldest princess was much calmer than Emperor Ming. She ordered: "Recruit Zhang Feng, the leader of the Imperial Army, here immediately."

After receiving the order, Li Dequan ran to the entrance of the hall when he saw Zhang Feng, the leader of the imperial army, rushing over. When the eldest princess saw him, she asked directly: "How many troops does the prince bring?"

Zhang Feng replied: "The prince's troops besieging the imperial city are no more than 10,000 people. The 30,000 imperial troops in the imperial city can completely withstand it. The most important thing now is that there are rebels in the imperial army. If they cooperate inside and outside, they will be in danger."

The eldest princess couldn't help but blame Zhang Fengdao: "As the commander of the imperial army, you can't control your subordinates. You are simply derelict in your responsibility."

Zhang Feng saw that the eldest princess was angry, and he did not dare to tell the difference. He only glanced at the exhausted Emperor Ming and replied nonchalantly: "The traitor is the deputy commander Cao Zhen, who is the nephew of Empress Cao."

Emperor Ming knew clearly that the Prince Hall was fighting fiercely with the King of Jin's party, so he actually promoted people from the Cao family to personal guards. The eldest princess turned pale with anger, but looking at her younger brother who had been frightened to death, she put the words on her lips The words of blame were swallowed back.

The eldest princess said to Zhang Feng: "Divide your trustworthy troops into two groups. One group will be transferred to guard the city gate, and the other group will be transferred to guard outside the main hall. As long as you can hold on for half an hour, the patrol department's troops will see the fireworks signal. Then you can come over."

Zhang Feng immediately accepted the order and left. Emperor Ming took the eldest princess's hand and said tremblingly: "Cao Zhen is in charge of a small number of the forbidden troops. All these forbidden troops have followed him and rebelled. Elder sister, what should we do?"

The eldest princess picked up her unsatisfied younger brother from the ground and said angrily: "You are an emperor, can you be a little bit like an emperor? At this time, you should be strong."

Emperor Ming had been cowardly all his life and could not stand up anymore. Seeing that the eldest princess was angry, he burst into tears.

The eldest princess softened her tone and said: "It's okay, half of the imperial army has rebelled. When Boyo arrives with the elite patrol officers, this group of rebels will be unable to gain momentum."

Emperor Ming held the eldest princess's arm tightly and said: "Sister, I just ordered people to search the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion. I'm afraid he will hold a grudge against me. I'm afraid he won't come to save me. Oh my! I really regret it now." The eldest princess glanced at Emperor Ming helplessly and replied lightly: "Boyo is not as heartless as you."

At this moment, the imperial army has surrounded the Qinzheng Hall, and the eldest princess no longer cares about coaxing her useless brother. She picked up the emperor's Shang Fang sword hanging in the imperial study room and strode out of the main hall.

The eldest princess held the sword above her head and said majestically to the imperial guards: "You obey orders, Zhao Bi conspired to rebel, and you must sacrifice your lives to protect His Majesty. When the rebels are killed, you will all be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households."

The eldest princess was so majestic that the generals' blood boiled and they all shouted long live to the Qinzheng Palace Mountain.

Within a moment, there was an earth-shattering sound of rolling logs hitting the city gate outside the palace, and arrows rained like rain outside the Qinzheng Hall.

Empress Cao and the Crown Prince have been plotting this rebellion for a long time. Most of the soldiers and horses outside the imperial city are dead soldiers secretly raised by Cao Guojiu. Cao Zhen has also won over many small leaders in the Forbidden Army, so there are not many Forbidden Army who are still loyal to Emperor Ming. Just half of the people.

Today, Emperor Ming ordered to inspect the Zhenguo Palace. Li Ling was taking care of things in the palace, but he never thought about the big change in the palace. When he rushed back to the city patrol department to take the troops to protect the imperial city, it would be delayed. Li Ling took the city patrol department with him. The elite men rushed outside the imperial city and were entangled by the ten thousand dead soldiers surrounding the city. There were many rebels in the inner palace, and the imperial army guarding outside the Qinzheng Palace gradually became exhausted.

The shouts of killing outside the palace shook the earth. Seeing the rows of **** arrows shot into the palace more and more densely, Emperor Ming was so frightened that he lost his mind. The eldest princess ordered the palace people to use heavy objects. Block the palace door and protect Emperor Ming under the imperial case.

The shouts of killing outside the palace gradually grew louder and suddenly died down. Then, the palace door was suddenly knocked open, and Queen Cao and Zhao Bi broke into the palace with the guards of the East Palace.

When Empress Cao saw Emperor Ming hiding under the desk, she laughed a few times, as if she wanted to release all the grievances she had suffered over the years.

Empress Cao pointed at Emperor Ming and cursed: "Hunjun, I never thought you would be here today."

The eldest princess pointed the sword in her hand at Queen Cao and said sternly: "Bold bitch, you dare to rebel. Do you know your guilt?"

 Empress Cao looked at the eldest princess and replied: "If you are a coward and have no moral principles, everyone can punish him."

Emperor Ming could no longer care about fear at this moment. He got out from under the desk and confronted Empress Cao: "Cao Yumo, you are my empress. We are husband and wife. I have always treated you well, but you dare to rebel. Your Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?”

Empress Cao, who had always been meek in front of Emperor Ming, heard this and laughed up to the sky again. She pointed at Emperor Ming and said: "You still have the nerve to say that I am your wife. I have been married to you for more than 20 years. You fool!" How have you ever treated me as your wife? You only have Meng and her son in your eyes, why have you ever cared about our mother and son?"

Emperor Ming retorted: "Your son was under eight years old, so I made him the prince. It was because he failed to live up to his expectations that I had no choice but to depose him. The only reason I have to blame for this is that you didn't give birth to a son who lived up to his expectations. You blame me." What to do?"

Cao replied hysterically: "If it hadn't been for the remonstrance from the officials, would you have made Bi'er the prince? Huh! Even if you made him the prince, haven't you been thinking about it all the time for more than ten years? Depose him and make a scoundrel born from Meng's family the crown prince. Do you know the hardships our mother and son are going through? Have you ever thought about how Bi'er will survive after he is deposed?"

Listening to Empress Cao's accusation, Zhao Bi's face became more and more sinister. He bent his bow and shot an arrow straight at Emperor Ming. The eldest princess quickly blocked the sudden flying arrow with the long sword in her hand. Unexpectedly, Zhao Bi shot another arrow at Emperor Ming without hesitation. The eldest princess had just blocked the arrow and before she could turn around, she quickly pushed Emperor Ming, but the arrow still hit Emperor Ming's chest.
