Volume 1, Chapter 11: Rescue the King
Qin Su and Zhen Rou both breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. Before Wei Jiyuan left, Zhen Rou hurriedly walked into the bedroom.
Seeing Xiang Yun lying in bed with a pale face, Zhen Rou's eyes suddenly turned red. She quickly took Xiang Yun's hand in her own and said softly with a choked voice, "I will stay here with Your Majesty until Your Majesty wakes up."
Qin Su, who was outside, originally wanted to come in and take a look, but when she heard Zhen Rou's words, she couldn't help but frowned, hesitated for a while, snorted coldly, and walked out.
As soon as she left the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, she ran into Concubine Wang Jiaojiao who was rushing over. Qin Suli ignored her and strode away.
Wang Jiaojiao was not happy with this. When Qin Su passed by her, she said sarcastically, "I don't know whose family raised this bitch. She is so uneducated that she doesn't know how to behave when she sees me. She really has no manners at all!"
Qin Su was already in a bad mood, and after being provoked by Wang Jiaojiao's words, she could not bear it any more. This girl was a girl who dared to hit even the emperor, so how could she be afraid of a concubine like her?
Qin Su immediately pointed her finger at Wang Jiaojiao's face in front of all the palace maids and eunuchs present and scolded her: "I advise you to be more careful with your mouth. If you dare to swear or kick again, I will slap you in the face and guarantee that your face will be swollen for three days!"
Wang Jiaojiao was so frightened that she took two steps back. She was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she dared not say anything more. After all, she had heard of Qin Su's bad reputation since she was a child. She was really a person who did not recognize her relatives.
Qin Su felt a little better after letting out some of her anger. She turned around and left without paying any more attention, leaving behind only one sentence that made her angry: "Go back to Kunning Palace!"
The three words "Kunning Palace" were deliberately emphasized, making Wang Jiaojiao even angrier. Suddenly, she thought of the purpose of this trip, and her eyes lit up. She sneered, "Your Majesty is seriously ill, but you still don't know how to wait by his bed. You really don't care about your Majesty at all."
Qin Su paused when she heard this, then walked away.
Wang Jiaojiao didn't want to argue with him anymore, so she walked directly into the Yangxin Palace. When she saw Xiang Yun lying in bed with a pale face, she cried out sadly, "Your Majesty, how are you? Please don't get into trouble. If you fall down, how will I live?"
Wang Jiaojiao took two steps at a time and fell directly on Xiang Yun, crying continuously. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't squeeze out a single tear.
Zhen Rou felt uncomfortable watching from the side, but she still reminded him, "My Lady Concubine, the imperial physician came just now and said that His Majesty is fine and just needs to rest for a while."
Wang Jiaojiao paused, stopped crying, and blushed. Then she looked at Zhen Rou with a fake smile and said, "I will not be at peace until His Majesty wakes up. Why don't you let me stay with His Majesty and go back to rest first?"
Zhen Rou paused when she heard this. She was unwilling to do so and said quickly, "I am also worried about Your Majesty. I want to wait here. As long as Your Majesty wakes up, I will come here."
"Go back!" Without waiting for Zhen Rou to finish her words, Wang Jiaojiao responded forcefully, making Zhen Rou tremble with anger.
But she was just a concubine and had no right to disobey the words of Concubine Wang Jiaojiao. She could only look at Xiang Yun deeply and left sadly.
On the night when the emperor fell ill, at the hour of Chou, an order to "come to the rescue of the king" was distributed to the three military camps stationed in the capital.
Wang Teng led hundreds of personal guards, holding the flaming military talisman, and rode fast horses to the three-army camp and shouted loudly: "Three armies listen to my order!"
"The treacherous minister Qin Yu has bewitched the emperor and disrupted the government. With this treacherous minister, my days are miserable and my imperial power is hard to rise. Now the treacherous minister Qin Yu is so bold that he has poisoned the emperor, making me sick in bed, and is plotting to usurp the throne and seize the world!
I am filled with grief and indignation, and have issued a secret decree, ordering the assistant king, Teng, and the general who oversees the state to hold the flaming military talisman and command the three armies to march to the capital immediately to rescue the king!"
"Soldiers of the three armies, follow me and protect the emperor!" After Wang Teng finished speaking, he turned around and left with his trusted men behind him, not worrying at all that the soldiers of the three armies would not come.
There is only one thing, and that is the Flame Shining Military Token in his hand. This Token is the highest-level Token of the Great Sun Dynasty. It can command any army of the Great Sun Dynasty, even asking them to kill their own commander.
Sure enough, not long after, a large number of soldiers from the Black Armor Army, the Lieyang Army, and the Red Feather Army fully equipped and rode their horses to follow from behind, and together they headed towards the capital.
Seeing this scene, Wang Teng was overjoyed, secretly praising the little emperor for falling ill at the right time, which gave him sufficient reason to mobilize the soldiers of the three armies.
As long as he could break into the palace and kill the old thief Qin Yu, and then take advantage of the chaos to kill the young emperor, the royal family would no longer have heirs, and he would be able to take on the task and ascend the throne to become the new emperor!
When Wang Teng thought about wearing the dragon robe, his eyes were filled with passion. He kicked the horse's belly, whipped it, and sped up even faster.
At the gate of the capital, the soldiers on guard saw dust flying in the distance and hurriedly wanted to sound the alarm, but suddenly someone covered their mouths from behind and stabbed their hearts with a sharp dagger emitting a cold light.
When Wang Teng and others arrived at the foot of the city, the gate of the capital slowly opened. The huge capital city and the 200,000 defenders became a decoration at this moment.
Wang Teng sneered in his heart when he saw this scene. He rode his horse straight into the capital and rushed towards the palace. The troops behind him followed in one after another.
In this world, people are motivated by profit. Just a little profit will make someone work for you. You can spend a little money to get some desperate criminals to open the city gate for you.
"Jia~Jia!" The sound of swords and horses resounded throughout the capital city, and all the sleeping citizens in the city were awakened from their sleep, becoming extremely anxious.
In the Qin Mansion, the old thief Qin Yu was sleeping soundly on the soft belly of the beautiful concubine, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised and drooling, obviously having a sweet dream.
At this moment, a servant rushed into the room screaming, "Master, it's bad, the army has entered the capital!"
The beautiful concubine screamed, and Qin Yu suddenly opened his eyes, rushed over with messy clothes, kicked the servant, and cursed: "Why are you in such a hurry? You can't enter this place!"
The man didn't get angry. He knelt down and kowtowed and continued, "My lord, Lord Wang Teng has brought the soldiers of the Black Armor Army, the Lieyang Army, and the Red Feather Army to the capital. They are going to rebel!"
"Nonsense! How could the three armies obey Wang Teng's orders and surround the capital? Even with the military token, they can't do it!" Qin Yu obviously didn't believe it, but after a moment of silence, he quickly asked, "What banner are they flying?"
The servant cried, "It was the King who came to save the Emperor!"
"Boom!" These words were like a loud thunder. Qin Yu staggered and felt something was wrong. Wang Teng was so brave that he dared to do such a dangerous thing!
"What should we do? What should we do? Oh, there are 20,000 imperial guards in the palace!" Qin Yu's eyes lit up, and he quickly ordered, "Quickly gather all the family soldiers and follow me into the palace!"
Just when Wang Teng issued the secret decree in the three-army camp, Zhen Dajin, the head of the Zhen family, received the news first. He wanted to send all his family soldiers and retainers to protect the emperor, but now Xiang Yun was bedridden, Zhen Dajin hesitated again.
After thinking about it, he sent someone to deliver the news to the palace and inform Jiang Yue.
For a time, the entire imperial city was in panic. Although Wang Teng's banner was to rescue the king, after leading his troops into the palace, Wang Teng could do whatever he wanted. Who could control him then?
After Jiang Yue received the news, he began to tremble all over, not because of fear, but because of excitement, passion, and mission-driven. He immediately ordered all the imperial guards to gather at the palace gate.
Twenty thousand imperial guards were ready to go, surrounding the entire palace gate. The palace walls were covered with torches and the security was tight.
Under such circumstances, no army could rush into the palace in a short period of time.
"Close the door~!"
At Jiang Yue's command, the gate of the entire palace slowly closed. But at this moment, Qin Yu came with hundreds of soldiers on horseback. Seeing that the palace gate was about to close, he shouted, "Assistant Qin Yu is here, open the palace gate quickly!"
Qin Yu and his companions were moving in a panic, obviously in a hurry. The soldiers who were carrying out the order obviously hesitated, and the speed at which the palace gate closed slowed down. After all, Qin Yu's official position was there, and they could not afford to offend him.
Qin Yuanying, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, saw this and shouted, "Open the palace gate quickly and let Qin Fuguo in!"
"Slow down!" Jiang Yue shouted coldly, looking at Qin Yuanying and said, "Commander Qin, please be aware of your identity. This is a key area of the imperial palace. How can we allow others to bring in private troops? If something happens to the emperor and the empresses, can you afford it? Close the palace gates!"
Qin Yuanying was furious and yelled, "Jiang Yue! That's Qin Fuguo. If anything happens to him, you will have no chance of survival!"
"Can a minister be more important than the safety of the emperor and the queen?" Jiang Yue was extremely strong and scolded: "The banner of the rebels is to save the emperor and purge the emperor's side. The one they want to kill is Qin Yu. If Qin Yu is allowed to enter the palace, wouldn't it just give the rebels a reason to attack the palace?
If Qin Yu enters the palace and attempts to persecute the emperor, how should we deal with it?
Commander Qin, I don't know what you are up to, but I, Jiang Yue, am the commander of the Imperial Guard appointed by His Majesty himself. It is me who commands the Imperial Guard, not you!"
Jiang Yue took out the dragon-shaped military token and said loudly: "The duty of the Imperial Guards is to protect the safety of the emperor. The lives of others have nothing to do with the Imperial Guards. Close the city gates!"
The military tokens had been taken out, and no matter how angry Qin Yuanying was, there was nothing he could do. Qin Su's team was only a hundred meters away from the palace gate and would arrive in a moment, but at this time, the palace gate was completely closed.
Qin Yuanying pointed at Jiang Yue and called out three times: "Good, good, good!"
After saying that, Qin Yuanying turned around and left, disappearing into the depths of the imperial palace. Jiang Yue ignored him as he had the military talisman with him, so no matter how this guy struggled, he couldn't cause any waves.
Xiang Yun gave Jiang Yue three days, but Jiang Yue only took one night to gain the trust of a large number of the Imperial Guards and gained a certain prestige among them.
If you want to establish your authority in an army, the best way is to fight!
On the night Jiang Yue took office, he did not return to his bedroom, but went straight to the Imperial Guards camp, set up an arena, and fought one-on-one in an effort to destroy the spirit of anyone in the Imperial Guards. That night, he even fought one against ten and one against a hundred, making it so that no one in the Imperial Guards could be his match.
As long as you are strong, there will be people who respect and admire you!
Of course, this decision was still a bit reckless, but Jiang Yue was scolded by Xiang Yun for being useless that day, which made him very angry, so he did this on impulse, and it obviously had a very good effect.
Qin Yu's face was extremely ugly at this time. A group of people came in a hurry, but were refused outside the palace gate. He couldn't help but yell and curse below: "Hurry up and open the door for me. You are so bold. Do you know who I am? You dare to lock me out of the palace. Do you all want to die?"
