Cheng Xueqi pretended not to see the abnormality of Emperor Yan Ping, but still persuaded him with "sincerity": "Your Majesty, I heard that the queen has sent people to Jinyang to recall King Chen. King Chen will lead the Huben army in the near future. We have arrived at the capital. Your Majesty, what should we do? We can't deal with even the prince, and King Chen, is God trying to kill us? Your Majesty, please make up your mind. The guards of the East Palace may attack tonight. Your Majesty, do you want to sit back and wait for death?"
The feeling of dying in the dream was so clear and real. It took a while after Emperor Yan Ping woke up to get rid of the powerless feeling, and gradually he was able to speak normally.
"No, the crown prince will be abolished and twelve will be established."
"Your Majesty, what did you say?"
"I will establish twelve as the crown prince."
Cheng Dun was very aware of current affairs and went to get the edict and pen, but Cheng Xueqi pretended to be unwilling and said: "Your Majesty, isn't this dangerous situation? If the prince attacks, we can't resist it. "
Emperor Yan Ping thought for a while and said: "Call Gao Shihe to come in. "
At this time, Cheng Dun just brought the things over and had to make another trip to summon Gao Shihe.
While waiting for Gao Shihe, Emperor Yan Ping had already written the imperial edict and stamped it with a jade seal. Cheng Xueqi was quite satisfied after getting it. Now they no longer need to take care of Emperor Yan Ping. They are just waiting to see who is the winner of this palace battle in the end.
Gao Shihe hurriedly ran in from outside, just in time to see Cheng Xueqi putting away the imperial edict. He was a little confused and didn't know what edict Emperor Yan Ping had issued, but this was not something he could ask.
"See Your Majesty."
"Go quickly and summon the imperial army to capture the prince and his accomplices, life or death!"
Gao Shihe was surprised and asked Said: "Your Majesty, why is this?"
"Don't ask so many questions, go quickly!"
"Your Majesty, please give me the order."
I said it After so many words, Emperor Yan Ping was already low on energy and felt even more upset after hearing the words. However, the threat of death forced him to be patient and write another imperial edict and give it to Gao Shihe, asking Gao Shihe to summon the imperial army to escort him.
The number of forbidden troops in the imperial city was insufficient, so Gao Shihe had no choice but to recall the forbidden troops originally stationed outside the Jin Palace, and at the same time contacted Chen Shi's patrol battalion to defend the prince.
Naturally, this series of actions could not escape everyone's eyes. Seeing the frequent mobilization of the Forbidden Army and the City Defense Army, He Ze guessed that their plan was probably leaked. This is normal. It was precisely because of the critical situation that they had to make a desperate move. Now that Emperor Yan Ping had noticed it, they had to kill the king and usurp the throne before Emperor Yan Ping could make arrangements.
The sky is getting dark, and it’s time to issue the key to the Imperial City. However, there are some exceptions today, because the Gao Shi, the reserve army and the city defense army who are dispatched to the Imperial Guard, enter the city to guard the Imperial City. So I specially said hello and left the North Gate alone to wait for them to lead their troops into the city..
At night, an army wearing the uniforms of the city defense camp came to the city gate. The guard stopped them and asked, "Who are you?"
Then The man replied: "We are the subordinates of Commander Chen of the city defense army. We have been ordered to enter the city to protect him. This is the token."
After checking that everything was correct, the man said to the imperial army on duty behind him: "Let him go. ”
The mighty team entered the city.
Immediately after, these people walked to the second palace gate, and then went straight to the main palaces such as Jiaofang Palace, East Palace, and Weiyang Palace, which were equivalent to the second insurance of the imperial city. , this third gate is naturally the palace gate where these main palaces are located.
"Stop!"
"We are subordinates of Commander Chen of the city defense army. We have been ordered to enter the city to protect you. This is the token."

The person guarding the second line of defense was Xie Xiu, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard. He said: "I know, you can just stay here and don't go deep."
< p> The captain of the patrol camp immediately agreed, and Xie Xiu walked down from the city wall to arrange for these people to be on duty. The palace door opened a crack, and Xie Xiu came out and asked: "Which of you is the leader? Come out and talk."The captain got off his horse and said: "I am the next official, sir. "What's your order?"
Xie Xiu frowned and asked, "You? Why haven't I seen you?"
The captain said. : "This official is a captain who was promoted recently, so your Excellency has no impression."
Xie Xiu was still a little doubtful, so the man smiled and said: "If you don't believe me, you can go see the deputy commander, he can Testify for the subordinate."
Deputy Commander? Seeing what he said, Xie Xiu followed him into the army. After walking almost two-thirds of the way to the team, Xie Xiu asked: "Are you here yet?"
The man said: "We are here, and what is in front of you is."
Night Under the circumstances, the limited torches could not illuminate the surrounding scenery. Xie Xiu looked carefully and found that the man looked familiar, but could not remember it for a moment.
The man chuckled and said, "Deputy Commander Xie is really conscientious of his duties."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man suddenly drew out the sword from his waist and slashed it at lightning speed. Xie Xiu's neck. Xie Xiu didn't have time to react and covered his bleeding neck. He suddenly remembered who the person in front of him was, but unfortunately he had no time to say it.
"Come in!"
Under the man's order, these soldiers disguised as patrol battalions rushed in one after another.
The Imperial Guards on duty lost Xie Xiu’s command and were immediately in chaos. They hurriedly tried to close the city gate. However, this changed very quickly. The army led by He Ze had been paying attention to the situation at the palace gate. At the critical moment, they killed the defenders, broke in, and fought with the forbidden troops inside.
"Ji Yang, lead a teamThe people fought back, captured the north city gate, and let the brothers from the patrol camp in. ”
“Yes. "
"You guys will lead a group of people to the East Palace and ask the prince to rush to Weiyang Palace to take charge of the overall situation. ”
“Yes. "
The incident happened so suddenly that He Ze had no time to seek the prince's opinion, so he rushed in with his men, killing them first and then telling them the story. When the prince got the news, the matter was irreversible.
< p> The prince has no choice but to catch the duck."Look at Chan'er, I will be back. "
The Crown Princess was a little uneasy, but she had no choice now. She had to put away all her worries, tried to smile, and said, "Okay, Chan'er and I will wait for you to come back. "
"I will definitely come back. "
The prince was very uneasy. There was a change in his plan and he was forced to raise his troops in advance. He was afraid that if he could not control the situation at one stroke, he would easily make wedding clothes for others. But he had no choice. Emperor Yan Ping is going to depose him. How many of these deposed princes can survive?
It must be said that He Ze is still very reliable and capable. He killed the imperial army by surprise. He only paid a small price, and then he separated a group of people to capture the queen, and the rest followed him to Weiyang Palace.
