Chapter 360 The Second Prince emerges as the victor.
"Everything has been arranged so long ago. Isn't the Second Prince worried that His Majesty will return successfully?" Qin Ye shouted.
"so what?"
"If you become the Second Prince, you will ascend to the throne. If you lose, you will just die!" Ye Zhong was speaking as a winner. At the same time, he intensified his deployment, not giving the other side any chance to turn the tables or even break out. "Don't you think about it? Without the Second Prince's instructions and deployment, would the soldiers of Dongyi City be able to enter the country so easily? Even if they came from the sea, Kyoto is not by the sea!"
While Ye Zhong was excited, wasn't he also surprised and delighted by his son-in-law's actions?
I was surprised at my son-in-law's audacity, but I was also happy at his far-reaching plan.
Little did he know that all this was caused by the letter Li An sent to the Second Prince and his previous divination about the Second Prince.
It was unknown when Li Chengze began to feel that he was powerless in the hands of Emperor Qing.
When Northern Qi spies spread Fan Xian's life experience in the capital and even exposed the scandal between Crown Prince Li Chengqian and the eldest princess, Li Chengze smelled an opportunity!
An opportunity to completely possess your own power and turn the tables!
Li An told Li Chengze that the eldest princess would help the prince in the end because Li Chengze looked similar to Fan Xian.
Surprisingly, such a far-fetched reason made Li Chengze believe it!
To use the words in Li An's letter, if he relied solely on Li Yunrui, he would not be able to blame anyone else if he failed and died in the end.
Therefore, Li Chengze made the crazy move of mobilizing the state army at all costs and showing his courage to launch the plan, ready to die if he failed!
Li Chengze was pleased. It was a pity that his actions could not be seen by his father. If he were still alive, he would be relieved to see what he had done. There would be no need to fight for it. The throne would be passed on to him by his father.
Outside the Zhengyang Gate in Kyoto, the loess was crushed by the hooves of the galloping horses, and then lifted up by the iron hooves, turning it into a cloud of dust and smoke, which spread out and slowly rose.
Under the sunlight, a puff of yellow smoke took shape.
Ye Zhong waved the command flag in his hand, and the remaining 5,000 cavalrymen under his command rushed towards Zhengyang Gate in rows of five!
He had already seen the figure of the fake emperor Li Chengqian, rushing towards Qin Ye in a hurry.
Looking at the other party's embarrassed figure, he was far inferior to his own son-in-law. It turned out that he had no destiny. At this time, he still wanted to break through! ?
The Second Prince had not shown up, so even if Qin Ye wanted to turn the tables, he had no target. Plus, Li Chengqian came in a panic, so he had to send people to rescue him. This time, he could not resist Ye Zhong's attack. That was just fate!
The soldiers were like a torrent and a fierce dragon, rushing towards the struggling crowd on the opposite side, devouring these poor losers.
Amid the yellow sand, the black flag with the word Qin on it was still fluttering in the wind, giving people a solemn and murderous feeling.
However, the knife marks and arrow holes on the flag made it look less murderous and more lonely.
In such a critical situation, Qin Heng, the former deputy envoy of the Privy Council, current commander of the Kyoto garrison division and leader of the second generation of the Qin family, led his troops to provide support.
This is Qin Ye's back-up plan, a way out, but it can only be used when both sides are evenly matched. Now it seems that these thousands of people are just a drop in the bucket! Seeing Qin Heng rushing towards him with an irresistible momentum, Qin Ye was almost vomiting blood in anger! "What a fool! What a fool!"
While Qin Ye was hacking and killing the enemy troops that rushed in front of him, he shouted, "My son, go! Don't worry about me and His Majesty! Go north or west!"
Qin Heng's eyes almost popped out, but he was determined, knowing that the Qin family was finished and he was the last one to continue the Qin family. His father placed all his bets on Li Chengqian for the Qin family, and his original intention was just for the next few decades of glory for the Qin family, so he would not blame anyone.
After all, it was because he was not ambitious enough, otherwise why would his father take such risks and do such things to seek glory for the family?
Until now, it’s all God’s will!
Qin Heng turned his horse around and led more than 3,000 people who were still in good order to break out to the northwest.
As for Li Chengqian, he doesn't even care about him!
Ye Zhong just watched all this calmly. He squinted his eyes and ignored the yellow soil that poured into his mouth and nose. A complex emotion emerged in his chest. After today, he would be the father-in-law of the emperor, and his daughter would become the queen!
Everything is won!
Next, we only need to guard against the Dongyi City army and Fan Xian who will arrive tomorrow. The fruits of victory will be harvested.
The capital of Qing State had been besieged by foreign enemies in history, but the enemy had never broken into the city. Today, by some strange coincidence, Ye Chong accomplished this feat, even though it was a civil war.
Li Chengqian and Qin Ye were captured.
Looking at the two people being brought before him, Ye Zhong, as a soldier of the Qing Kingdom, had mixed feelings. He waved his hand and ordered, “Take them into custody and keep an eye on them. Everything will be decided by the Second Prince!”
······
The imperial guards in the city received the news that the two sides had decided the winner, and they also began to take action.
They first moved to the Prince's Palace, and after picking up the princess, Ku He and others, they swaggered towards the north gate. Ku He sat on the top of the carriage, meditating silently to heal his wounds. All the Qing soldiers who met did not dare to approach him and could only let him leave.
The most important thing is that the opponent's commander dare not act rashly, otherwise it is hard to say whether the opponent can be defeated. As the commander, I am sure to die.
After finally waiting for the several thousand imperial guards to leave the city, the remaining troops of the Second Prince entered the city, slowly occupied all the important positions and government offices, and then slowly surrounded the imperial palace and the royal villa.
Unlike the soldiers who were still confused, some smart officers who were originally stationed there had already guessed that the second prince had won, and they quickly laid down their weapons and surrendered.
Among the nine groups of soldiers who entered the city along the way, Commander Zhang Deqing was the most proud.
Although he only opened a city gate, it was the first achievement under Ye Zhong. He knew that under the Ye family, even if he had any credit, it would not be too great. Therefore, in the previous charge, he was hiding in the back and fishing, which was considered a smart move.
Nowadays, the whole world of Qing Kingdom worships black, and the soldiers gathered in front of the royal villa are all wearing black light armor.
The crowd slowly parted, and the second prince Li Chengze rode out slowly on his horse.
"Knock, be polite."
The army stopped, and the horses neighed and snorted, stepping on the bluestone floor of the street, raising a few wisps of dust.
With such a noise, it was impossible for the people in the courtyard not to hear it, so there was no need to knock on the door again. However, for some reason, the door of the royal villa had never been opened.
Boom boom boom!
I knocked on the door twice, but no one answered.
Li Chengze's heart moved. Could there be some small accident?
With a wave of his hand, soldiers knocked on the door. When the door was opened from the outside, the broken bodies in the courtyard and the princess and others who had been waiting there for a long time were revealed.
