The second prince's journey was like a bamboo shoot, seeing that victory was ahead, his subordinates were also full of momentum, and soon killed Emperor Changde Outside the bedroom. In the front, the subordinates were also in high spirits, and they quickly rushed outside the palace of Emperor Changde.
The sound of killing outside made the empress startled, "Why did they come here so quickly, what about the imperial guards, so many imperial guards can't stop the second child?"
Qiuxi persuaded her
from the side, "Your Majesty, don't worry, someone has sent a letter to Mr. Cao, and Mr. Cao will definitely find a way to save Your Majesty and His Highness the crown prince."
The empress grabbed Qiuxi's hand tightly, "Yes, there is still my elder brother, elder brother will definitely bring someone to rescue us, he must go to find Wei Yunzhao, Wei Yunzhao is good at fighting, and he is also skilled, as long as he comes, he will definitely get rid of the second child."
Looking at the Empress' fearful and expectant look, Qiuxi thought to herself, if she knew what would happen today, Mr. Cao had clearly gone to the palace to persuade her, but she didn't listen at all.
It wasn't just the empress who was feeling anxious and afraid, except for Emperor Changde, who was only breathless and unconscious, everyone else in the palace was the same, they hoped that the imperial guards could hold them back longer and the reinforcements would come sooner.
The crown prince was still trying to call out the hidden guards of Emperor Changde and let them go out to kill the second prince, but no one paid attention to him and none of the hidden guards dedicated themselves.
They could only listen to the sound of clashing swords outside in fear. They didn't know how long they had been listening and then someone started to push the door from outside. The maids and eunuchs shrank together in fright, and the empress's legs began to weaken, asking what to do.
However, the door was only knocked on a few times, and the voice of the commander of the Imperial Guard came from outside, " Your Majesty, Your Highness, the reinforcements are here."
When the reinforcements arrived, the empress was about to breathe a sigh of relief when the commander of the Imperial Guard spoke again, "I also ask Your Majesty to issue a decree to allow Mr. Wei to lead the troops to repel the rebels."
Wei Yunzhao, it was really Wei Yunzhao, the empress was looking forward to his coming, but she also hated him so much that she gritted her teeth, she held back her displeasure and said, "Pass on the oral decree from Bengong, Bengong order Wei Yunzhao to lead the troops to kill the rebels immediately, there must be no mistake!"
The commander of the Imperial Guard hesitated; "Your Majesty, Mr. Cao said to ask Your Majesty to issue a decree. If there is no decree, Mr. Wei and several generals don't dare to fight the rebels, so please hurry up, Your Majesty."
The empress opened her mouth and wanted to scold Wei Yunzhao for not knowing how to flatter her, but Qiuxi pulled her, "Your Majesty, now is not the time to vent your anger. Anything can be done after we can terminate the rebellion
The empress suppressed the anger in her heart and asked Qiuxi to grind ink for her. She wrote down the decree ordering Wei Yunzhao to lead the troops to repel the rebels. She sealed the decree with a phoenix seal and handed it to the commander of the imperial guards.
The empress said: "Before getting the decree from Bengong, Wei Yunzhao led the troops into the palace privately, and the account will be settled with him slowly after this matter is over. "
As a majestic empress she was forced into this kind of situation, she was forced to write imperial decree, she remembered all of this!
But she completely forgot that Wei Yunzhao was trying to save her life.
With Wei Yunzhao leading the army from the camp outside the city, the second prince had no chance of winning. Wei Yunzhao didn't let anyone do anything to the second prince. This was the prince, and no one had the right to touch him except that one.
The sky was bright and the rebellion was over. Jiang Lin carried Wei Yunzhao off his horse and put him in the wheelchair, he said, "Let's go home."
They shouldn't care about the next thing and they didn't bother to care about it.
But Wei Yunzhao really didn't expect that because of him, the rebellion ended so quickly and became the reason for others to hate him, and even planned to charge him as a traitor and had relationship with the rebel.
When Mr. Cao heard what the empress said, he almost felt that his sister was crazy.
"Your Majesty!" Mr. Cao's unbelievable face showed a bit of obvious anger, "If Wei Yunzhao really had the relationship with the rebel, you and His Highness the Crown Prince had already become the dead souls, and there's no chance of convicting him here."
The empress was very dissatisfied with her brother's behavior of defending Wei Yunzhao, "Brother, don't forget, I'm your own sister, Wei Yunzhao is just an outsider, and you actually speak for him."
Mr. Cao straightened his face and said seriously: "Because you are my younger sister, I can't bear to see you go astray step by step. You are so indistinguishable from right and wrong, if you annihilate a loyal minister, how do you let other ministers treat you?"
"Your Majesty, don't forget that you ordered the ministers to bring their soldiers to guard the palace last night, but how many people who came in the end?"
Speaking of this, the empress became even more angry, and she scolded, "A group of people who don't know how to appreciate favors, Bengong will make them regret it sooner or later."
Mr. Cao asked, "What do you want to do to make them regret? Even His Royal Highness the crown prince is inseparable from these courtiers when he ascends the throne. Or you still want to kill all the civil and military ministers and let the emperor handle all government affairs alone?"
"The ministers are not slaves in the palace, so the empress can flatten and round them at will!"
The empress stopped talking, but the expression on her face showed dissatisfaction, Mr. Cao softened his tone, "Empress, you are my sister, I will never harm you. Remember, the overall situation is uncertain now, and you can't wantonly frame a meritorious official, no matter how much the empress hates the Wei family, she will have to wait until the time comes before she can do anything."
