Chapter 363 This Coward
Fan Jie Qiang was wrong.
Ye Yanping had no intention of breaking into the palace.
There are three reasons.
First.
He remembered the instructions of his father and master, not to fight too long and to reduce unnecessary casualties;
second.
He also heard that Xiao Jiuer was a princess who had been exiled to the common people. Although he felt very uncomfortable, he also felt that the emperor was not worthy of being Xiao Jiuer's father.
But he is still Xiao Jiuer's biological father after all.
For the sake of Xiao Jiuer, he couldn't really rush into the palace.
third.
He felt something was wrong. All he encountered along the way were weak soldiers and pawns, and he didn't even meet a decent general.
As for the Black Armor Tiger Master that daddy mentioned, I haven’t even seen a trace of him!
The more Ye Yanping fought, the more he began to doubt his life.
Daddy asked him to pretend to be defeated, but how could he be defeated and how could he retreat?
…
Prime Minister Du Rulin stood on the top floor of the building and watched everything happening outside through the window.
"Dad, the Du family's chance has finally come!" Du Rulin's son's voice trembled with excitement.
"What do you mean?" Compared to his son's excitement, Du Rulin seemed unusually calm.
"Dad, in order to quell the rebellion, the emperor has left only two thousand guards to guard the palace. Why don't we take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to storm the palace and kill the emperor?! Then, Dad will be the master of the country!"
Du Rulin shook his head, "Son, you are still too naive!"
"Dad, why do you say that?" Du Rulin's son was puzzled. "That fool gave Dad the power to quell the rebellion. All the soldiers in the capital are under Dad's command. How can attacking the palace be difficult?"
"You've forgotten about Marquis Wuping!" Du Rulin sighed deeply. "Marquis Wuping and I have been enemies for many years. We are like water and fire. Although I can mobilize the entire capital's troops, I cannot mobilize Marquis Wuping's Black Armor Tiger Division."
"Guess why the emperor asked me to quell the rebellion?" Du Rulin looked at his son.
Du Rulin's son's breath hitched, "Could it be that this is a trap deliberately designed by the emperor?"
"You've finally figured it out. If your father led his troops to attack the palace right now, Marquis Wuping would be waiting for me there!"
"But that's not right, Dad. Marquis Wuping and the Regent were close friends. Now everyone says that the Emperor killed the Regent. Marquis Wuping must hate the Emperor, right? Isn't it exactly what he wants, Dad, to deal with the Emperor?"
"You're such a fool!" Du Rulin shook his head. "Even if Marquis Wuping hated the emperor, he wouldn't give your father the chance to usurp the throne! Do you understand?"
"Okay." Du Rulin's son looked disappointed. "It seems my joy was in vain."
Du Rulin said, "You're too impatient. Impatience is prone to mistakes. Go ahead, take the troops and work hard to quell the rebellion! Otherwise, your father will be scolded to death by those old guys in the court tomorrow!"
…
The peasant army was invincible and grew braver with each battle.
Ye Yanping hesitated, and if he continued fighting, the fight would really reach the palace.
At this time, Du Rulin's son came with a large number of troops.
Very good!
Ye Yanping was extremely grateful.
He pretended to be wounded by an arrow and retreated to the back.
Without Ye Yanping leading the charge, the peasant army's strength was greatly reduced.
Ye Yanping shouted, "As long as there is green mountain, there is no fear of running out of firewood! Everyone, follow me!"
Although the peasant army felt sorry, they also knew that without Ye Yanping, they could not attack the palace, so they followed Ye Yanping and fled the capital in a large number.
Du Rulin's son tried his best to perform and pretended to follow behind in pursuit.
Ye Yanping was so happy that he fled south with a large group of people.
After being away for a few months, I am finally on my way home!
Xiao Jiuer, daddy is back!
…
On a mountain near the capital, Marquis Wuping led his men and horses, quietly gazing towards the direction of the capital.
Suddenly, a firework exploded in the air.
Marquis Wuping's face lit up with joy.
But after seeing the color clearly, his face immediately fell.
"Damn it! It's yellow!"
As agreed.
Purple represents Du Rulin's attack on the palace.
Yellow means Du Rulin did not take any action.
At this time, the peasant army poured out of the city like a tide.
The deputy general said, "My Lord, I didn't expect Prime Minister Du to actually be suppressing the rebellion!"
Wu Pinghou threw the knife in his hand to the ground, "What a coward! I will look down on him even more from now on!"
Marquis Wuping originally planned that when Du Rulin forced the emperor to abdicate, he would lead his troops into the palace and negotiate terms with the emperor.
Request the Emperor to make public the truth about the Regent's death.
If the Regent was really killed by the Emperor, he would ask the Emperor to write a "Confession of Sins", voluntarily abdicate, and pass the throne to the eldest prince born to the Empress...
Everything was planned perfectly, but unexpectedly, that bastard Du Rulin did nothing.
"This damn coward! He disappoints me so much!"
Wu Pinghou cursed, "Return to camp!"
The deputy general asked, "My Lord, are we just letting the rebellious peasant army escape like this?"
"What else? You still want to kill them?" Wu Pinghou continued to curse, "It's a pity that I'm the Marquis, otherwise I would be even more powerful than them..."
The deputy general covered his mouth and said, "Just keep your mouth shut!"
…
Rongjing Palace.
As soon as Fan Jieqiang entered the room, he quickly grabbed Concubine Shu and said in a panic, "Sister, sister, sister! Pack up and sneak out of the palace with me!"
Concubine Shu had long been accustomed to Fan Jieqiang's sudden startles. She rolled her eyes at him and asked, "What's the matter? Why are you making such a fuss?"
"I'm afraid the palace can't be defended!" Fan Jie Qiang whispered, "There are simply too many rioters, like hornets! And there are some very powerful masters among them! Sister, I think my brother-in-law's throne is in great danger..."
"Who told you to call him brother-in-law?" Concubine Shu's face suddenly turned cold.
Fan Jie Qiang thought his sister blamed him for being rude to the emperor, so he immediately changed his words.
"It's the Emperor... I'm afraid the Emperor's throne can't be saved! Sister, that couple are birds of a feather, but when disaster strikes, they each fly away. Moreover, he has so many concubines. Sister, you can't just sit there and wait for death!"
"Alright, why are you still talking so childishly like a kid?" Concubine Shu pulled him to sit down and said calmly, "Your sister will never be able to leave these high palace walls in this lifetime."
"I know my sister can't leave." Fan Jieqiang couldn't help but complain, "There are so many rules in the palace, there is no freedom at all! This is why I don't like entering the palace."
"But we don't have to leave."
Concubine Shu couldn't help but want to laugh, "Could it be that you can take me flying out?"
"Hey!" Fan Jieqiang waved his hands. "Sister, how could you have forgotten the tricks we used to play when we were little? Isn't there a dog hole in this palace? We can get out through the dog hole!"
"Haha!" Concubine Shu laughed out loud, then covered her stomach and laughed so hard that her body trembled.
As I laughed, tears flowed from the corners of my eyes.
"Is crawling through a dog hole really that funny?" Fan Jie Qiang asked doubtfully, "Sister, how boring is your life these days? You're laughing to tears over such a small thing?"
Concubine Shu wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "The emperor didn't let you into the palace to abduct me. He has something to tell you."
Fan Jieqiang lowered his eyes, "Hey! Tell me! What does Mingzhu want now?"
