A servant overheard what happened, but thankfully he only heard the latter part; he knew nothing of Song Fengzhi's plan.
At this time, the general's mansion was less restricted in terms of entry and exit due to the upcoming events. The servant left the mansion and ran all the way to the East Palace, thinking that he would tell the Crown Prince the news and maybe even receive a reward.
"You just said that Song Fengzhi is going to force the emperor to abdicate?" The crown prince jumped up.
"Yes, I heard it with my own ears. They've probably already reached the North Gate."
"How could this happen?" The crown prince slumped into his chair, muttering to himself, "How could this happen?"
The prince's attendant waved his hand, and the servant bowed and withdrew.
"Your Highness, we can no longer stay in the Eastern Palace. Our most urgent task is to take advantage of the chaos and leave the palace."
Their forces were far too few to resist Song Fengzhi's troops; if they did not flee, they would surely die.
so......
Over the years, Song Fengzhi has made many meritorious contributions to the empire by leading troops into battle, and has also won the respect of many ministers. Yao Qinglong gradually became afraid that Song Fengzhi's achievements would overshadow the emperor and become uncontrollable. In addition, due to his relationship with Yao Yuanhao, he was persuaded by the slander of treacherous ministers to have the idea of killing Song Fengzhi!
Some time ago, an incident happened in the West Asia region, so Yao Yuanhao decided to use this as a pretext to send Song Fengzhi to suppress it, killing two birds with one stone!
Many years later, as the river of history flows on and on, will our past lives have long since been washed away by history and time...?
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"
The eunuch's anxious voice broke the tranquility of the Taiji Hall and also disturbed Yao Qinglong's sleep.
"What's the matter that you're in such a panic? What kind of behavior is this?"
Yao Qinglong slightly opened his sleepy eyes, his voice carrying a hint of anger, as if he was very unhappy about being disturbed!
"The Great General Protector of the Nation has led his men in and stormed in!" The eunuch, lying on the ground, spoke in a trembling voice.
Upon hearing this, Yao Qinglong shuddered in fright, his pupils contracting sharply, seemingly not expecting Song Fengzhi to instigate a coup. "Where are the Imperial Guards? Stop him quickly!"
"There's no need to summon the Imperial Guards; I've already sent them to hell."
As Yao Qinglong spoke, Song Fengzhi's cold voice came through. He had already led several hundred highly skilled assassins in, fighting his way in. Yao Qinglong had not anticipated this coup.
"Song Fengzhi, you led so many people into the Taiji Hall, are you trying to rebel?"
Yao Qinglong tried to calm himself down. He thought to himself that Song Fengzhi's big move couldn't possibly go unnoticed outside the palace. As long as his confidants knew, they would definitely come immediately. So what he needed to do now was to delay as much as possible and wait for rescue.
Dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel. Although Yao Qinglong has many confidants in the military camp, commands a large number of soldiers, and enjoys high prestige, he has probably already been defeated by the brave and skilled Ma Qi and General Wang!
Seemingly seeing through Yao Qinglong's thoughts, Song Fengzhi snorted coldly, "Rebellion? Wasn't I forced to get to where I am today by His Majesty's own hand?"
Yao Qinglong stared wide-eyed at Song Fengzhi in disbelief. "You...you knew everything?"
"My ancestors have served the royal family for generations and have never harbored any thoughts of rebellion. Yet Your Majesty listens to the words of treacherous officials and wants to exterminate me. This is truly disheartening!"
