Chapter 415 Welcome Your Highness to the Palace
After the discussion, Gao did not leave.
Pei Yi thought about the chaos in Kyoto at this moment, and couldn't help worrying about the situation of her family.
But after thinking about it, she instigated the rebels who surrounded the county government in just a few days. It can be seen that this group of rebels is like scattered sand, and there are only a few who really want to rebel.
Just such a group of mobs besieging Kyoto, I am afraid they will be suppressed in a few days. Dad and the others probably wouldn't be in any danger.
However, a few days later, an urgent letter came from Kyoto, and Pei Yi felt very complicated after reading it.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Junji asked in surprise seeing her expression was wrong, "Could it be that the rebellion in the capital hasn't been settled yet?"
Pei Yi shook her head, her expression became serious.
She put the letter on the candle and burned it, and said with complicated emotions: "The commander of the Forbidden Army belongs to the fifth prince. Now, the Forbidden Army controls the palace, and His Majesty cannot get out of it, nor can other officials enter."
Xiao Junji was inexplicably astonished. Recalling the events of the past few days, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I think the fifth prince is absurd and ruthless. A few days ago, he let the imperial army surround the fifth prince's mansion, and even sent troops to attack other princes. No matter how you look at it, he is a fool. Who would have thought that in the end, he would have saved his hand. The commander of the imperial army is already his, so capturing the palace has long been like a bag. No wonder he has the leisure to go and clean up his brothers one by one. .”
Pei Yi shook her head, pondered for a while, and then said: "It may not be that the five princes are the best. A fool will eventually win after all the thinking, and it is not unusual for him to do the right thing even if he is stupid."
Xiao Junji regained his composure, and pondered: "You mean... the fifth prince wins over the commander of the imperial army, but it's just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse?"
"I guess it should be like this." Pei Yi smiled and said, "Anyone with a clear mind will make good use of the advantages brought by the Forbidden Army. The current appearance of the fifth prince does not seem to dare to take advantage of the Forbidden Army."
Xiao Junji was stunned and said: "Then why did the forbidden army suddenly encircle the palace? Could it be that this was not an order from the Fifth Prince?"
Pei Yi was also puzzled, and murmured: "Who knows?"
Another compartment.
Imperial City.
Five Prince's Mansion.
"Your Highness, you have kept such a trick! Why didn't you say that the commander of the imperial army is yours?" The counselor Xiao Ruoyun almost cried with joy, and he suddenly felt that his master was an ordinary little genius with great wisdom and foolishness.
"I won over the commander of the imperial army, but I didn't expect him to be willing to send troops." The fifth prince frowned, walking back and forth anxiously with his hands behind his back, and said anxiously, "Shiro, I don't have any Ask Jia Commander to send troops! Why do you think he made arbitrarily advocating to surround the palace? What should I do now? Wouldn’t I really be a regicide?”
Xiao Ruoyun's joy disappeared, and her good expectations were shattered.
But he quickly adjusted his mood, and persuaded with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor: "Your Highness, Commander Jia dared to lead an army to surround the imperial city at this time, which shows that he is loyal to you! Now, the imperial palace has been brought under control. The situation is in our favor. Your Highness deserves to enter the palace as soon as possible..."
I didn’t say the following words, but the meaning is obvious: enter the palace and force the old emperor to write an edict of abdication, Your Highness, you will ascend the throne immediately. If the old emperor is peaceful, he will become the Supreme Emperor, and if he is restless, he will be killed early.
The fifth prince broke out in a cold sweat, and sat down on the chair as soon as his legs softened. He held on to the armrest with one hand, pinched the sleeve with the other and raised it to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead. He said anxiously: "The name is wrong, the words are wrong. Let's control my brothers first. If those brothers are dead , my royal father will definitely not dare to blame me..."
Xiao Ruoyun felt desolate in her heart.
Really hopeless!
Opportunities are here, and his master doesn't have to!
You are already in your twenties, why are you still so afraid of your emperor Lao Tzu?
Just like a child who has not grown up is afraid of his parents!
Xiao Ruoyun's grief came from it, and he suddenly felt a sense of sadness that the sky would kill me.
If he continues to stay in Kyoto, he will definitely not be able to escape the end of being beheaded.
But if he runs away now, as a counselor, he really shouldn't...
Xiao Ruoyun was entangled in her heart, thinking anxiously: wait first, wait a little longer, what if the fifth prince is lucky? Now that some people have taken the initiative to help the fifth prince encircle the palace, maybe someone will force the old emperor to write an abdication edict?
The other end.
Imperial Palace.
Commander Jia led the corps to surround the White Lotus Palace where the old emperor shrank.
Behind him, a confidant lieutenant ran to report to him in a low voice: "General Jia, the fifth prince still hasn't come to the palace."
Commander Jia frowned, wondering if the fifth prince is a pig? I have already surrounded the palace, why don't you rush to control the emperor, what are you trying to do?
Commander Jia thought for a while, then said in a deep voice: "You go to the fifth prince immediately, and you must tell him face to face, and invite him to enter the palace immediately!"
The deputy general hesitated: "What if the fifth prince just refuses to enter the palace?"
Commander Jia was silent for a moment, and said solemnly: "Five hundred people will follow you. If the fifth prince refuses to enter the palace, you can directly tie him into the palace!"
The lieutenant gasped, cupped his hands and said, "The last general takes orders!"
The deputy general led the people to the fifth prince's mansion soon, and stated his intention with a serious face.
Xiao Ruoyun's eyes lit up, and he thought that God is on their side! Even if his master is a pig, but with a pack of wolves-like smart teammates around him forcing the pig to move forward, the pig has no choice but to move forward!
"This..." The fifth prince said with a look of embarrassment on his face, reluctantly, "Now is not a good time to enter the palace. It won't be too late for me to enter the palace again after I control the fourth prince."
"Late will lead to change!" The deputy general frowned with thick eyebrows, clasped his fists in a very serious salute, and persuaded, "Please enter the palace immediately, Your Highness!"
Xiao Ruoyun also persuaded: "Your Highness, if you don't enter the palace at this moment, the advantages that Commander Jia has worked so hard to create will be gone! Don't come again when you can't miss this opportunity!"
The fifth prince was a little shaken, but when he thought of the serious face of the old emperor, he felt terrified. He shook his head and insisted in a low voice: "Let's talk about it after killing the fourth prince." As long as all his brothers are dead, his father will only have his son left, and it is impossible to show his face at him no matter what. .
Xiao Ruoyun was about to cry in a storm, this pig! It's really mud that can't support the wall!
The deputy general's face was cold and solemn, and he said in a cold voice: "If that's the case, then you'll be offended! Come here, and enter the palace respectfully, Your Highness!"
Following this order, a group of soldiers with knives rushed into the house and shouted in unison: "Your Highness is welcome into the palace!"
The fifth prince was terrified.
He glanced at the shining sword armor in horror, and had no doubt that if he dared to say no today, these soldiers would immediately chop him into pieces.
