Chapter 559 Eunuch Lan, dead!
"Eunuch Lan, go quickly!"
Seeing Eunuch Lan standing there motionless, Emperor Yongping frowned slightly and his voice became a little harsh.
Eunuch Lan came back to his senses. Although he was surprised by the strange situation in the Gantian Palace, he knew that there was no one holding Emperor Yongping hostage, so he should not have been forced to do so.
In the end, Eunuch Lan chose to deliver the order according to Emperor Yongping's order.
After Eunuch Lan left, Emperor Yongping looked at Prince Yan, sighed, and said, "Are we still brothers?"
"I have no idea!"
Prince Yan was very confused at the moment.
After learning the truth, his desire to seek justice for his parents became ridiculous at that moment. The late emperor had done so much, but in the end, all his efforts were in vain.
"I'm leaving now!"
Prince Yan bowed to Emperor Yongping and turned to walk out of the Gantian Palace.
At this moment, King Yan had lost his direction in life.
When he walked out of the Gantian Palace, he saw the Whirlwind Riders guarding outside the Gantian Palace lying on the ground.
Eunuch Lan came in a rage, and his attacks on the Whirlwind Riders who blocked his way were all fatal. No Whirlwind Rider who was hit by Eunuch Lan was spared.
"Your Majesty!"
The Whirlwind Riders who came from afar saluted King Yan in unison when they saw him.
At this moment, although these Whirlwind Riders did not say anything, King Yan knew what they were thinking.
"Gather, bring your fallen brothers, and follow me to avenge them!"
Although Eunuch Lan was loyal to his duties, King Yan could not ignore the fact that he killed the Whirlwind Riders.
…
At the gate of the imperial palace, Eunuch Lan loudly conveyed the oral instructions of Emperor Yongping to Prince Yu, Prince Gong and others outside the palace gate.
"Prince Yu, Prince Gong, the emperor has given his order. Are you going to disobey him?"
"Eunuch Lan, the Prince of Yan led his troops to surround the palace for no reason. Whether the emperor is free now is not up to you."
Prince Yu raised his head and looked at Eunuch Lan in front of him, "We will not leave easily unless we see His Majesty today."
They are here to protect the king.
If they were allowed to leave without seeing Emperor Yongping, they would have no way to defend themselves if they were held accountable for mobilizing troops without imperial order.
"In that case, Prince Yu and Prince Gong may enter the palace to see the Emperor!"
Eunuch Lan pondered for a moment, feeling that the situation was urgent and he had to make a decision on his own.
Of course, what he actually wanted to say was, with him in the palace, who could threaten the emperor?
Outside the palace gate, Prince Yu and Prince Gong looked at each other, both hesitant.
The two of them often come in and out of this palace.
But this city gate looks weird today.
Three thousand whirlwind riders entered the palace, but the palace gates were not closed. They really couldn't figure out what was going on.
"Prince Yu, Prince Gong, you are so hesitant, do you want His Majesty to come out to see you?"
Eunuch Lan also has a temper.
Outside the palace gates, Prince Yu and Prince Gong looked grim, feeling as if they were being roasted on a fire. If this situation wasn't handled properly, their lives would be in danger.
Just as the two men exchanged glances again, Eunuch Lan, who was standing opposite them, suddenly widened his eyes and an arrow emerged from his chest.
Eunuch Lan slowly turned around and saw Prince Yan on horseback, leading the Whirlwind Cavalry, slowly coming out of the palace. Prince Yan was holding a bow in his hand, with an arrow on the bowstring, aiming at him.
"puff……"
Eunuch Lan spat out a mouthful of blood, his face showing an extremely sad and angry expression.
"mean!"
As the best master in the palace, Eunuch Lan died in a very miserable way.
He never dreamed that he would die from a cold arrow, and he never imagined that the person who shot the arrow at him was the King of Yan.
Outside the palace gate, Prince Yu and Prince Gong were shocked when they saw Eunuch Lan die on the spot and Prince Yan coming out of the palace with the whirlwind cavalry. They quickly retreated into the ranks of soldiers and horses they brought with them.
"Uncle Prince Yu, Uncle Prince Gong, the Emperor is in the Qiantian Palace, awaiting your audience!"
"By the way, Uncle Gong, if you are not capable of running the Imperial City Department, you'd better abdicate as soon as possible!"
"The capital shouldn't be a lawless place!"
Prince Yan rode out and cast a sharp glance at Prince Yu and Prince Gong who were hiding among the soldiers and guards.
Then, without Prince Yu and Prince Gong saying anything, the so-called royal supporters who were blocking the palace gate quickly made way and let Prince Yan and his whirlwind cavalry leave.
"My Lord, where are we going?"
Leng Ci, the new deputy general of the Whirlwind Cavalry, rode his horse behind King Yan and asked in a low voice.
"go home!"
King Yan glanced back at Leng Ci, then at the group of Whirlwind Riders behind him, and suddenly waved forward, "Brothers, go home!"
go home!
The home of the Whirlwind Riders is in the military camp of Longxi Prefecture in the northwest.
Three thousand cavalrymen swept through the long streets of the capital like the wind and headed straight for the city gate.
…
When the Prince of Yan left with the Whirlwind Riders, Emperor Yongping in the palace also received the news that Eunuch Lan was shot dead by the Prince of Yan. The moment he received the news, Emperor Yongping's expression was dull.
When Emperor Yongping came to his senses, the sadness in his heart was beyond words.
He didn't kill Eunuch Lan, but he cannot shirk the responsibility for Eunuch Lan's death.
If he had not indulged Prince Yan, Eunuch Lan would not have died.
"I hereby declare that Prince Li Heng of Yan is guilty of treason and rebellion, and his title shall be stripped and his clan exiled. All citizens of the Tang Dynasty shall be free to execute him!"
When the Prince of Yan left the Qiantian Palace, Emperor Yongping still had hope that he and the Prince of Yan could still be brothers. However, the Prince of Yan's act of shooting Eunuch Lan clearly showed his intention to break with him.
He is the ruler of the Tang Dynasty, not a shameless scoundrel.
Prince Yan killed Eunuch Lan. If he still doesn't make his position clear, how can he still have any dignity?
Prince Yu, Prince Gong, the royal family, nobles, and numerous military commanders who had come to the Qiantian Palace were all stunned. Of course, deep down, they all felt that Emperor Yongping was the biggest fool.
He didn't say these things when Prince Yan was still in the capital. He said these things after Prince Yan rode out of the capital with a whirlwind. This is simply letting a tiger return to the mountain!
However, even though they cursed Emperor Yongping in their hearts, they did not dare to say a single disrespectful word.
"Your Majesty, the Prince of Yan is plotting rebellion. Who will be sent to suppress it?"
As the head of the Imperial Clan Court, Prince Yu naturally had to step forward and ask, "Also, should the Princess of Yan and Prince Yan's children be captured as well?"
"Do I even need to ask this?"
Emperor Yongping looked at Prince Yu coldly.
Prince Yu was criticized by Emperor Yongping and quickly apologized.
"Uncle Yu, you are the clan leader of the clan affairs office. I'll have to trouble you with this matter!"
"I obey the decree!"
Prince Yu responded, then added, "Your Majesty, speed is of the essence in war. To prevent the remnants of Prince Yan from escaping, I request that you leave the palace immediately to capture them!"
"Can!"
Since the King of Yan has been identified as a traitor, those who should be punished cannot be let off.
Even though they knew that the Prince of Yan and his wife had been at odds for a long time, they only arrested the wife for show.
