Chapter 369: Jiangdu Coup (9)

March 10th.

Sima Dekan and the others have been busy since early in the morning, fearing that anything would go wrong.

It was spring at this time, and the weather was gloomy that day. Pei Qantong felt a little chilly. He, Yuan Li, and Tang Fengyi all worked night shifts today, and followed Sima Dekan to inspect the military camp during the day.

At the end of the afternoon, there was a strong wind in the city, the clouds were thick, and it got dark early. The world was filled with a chilling atmosphere.

Sima Dekan used his power to steal many royal horses that had flourished in the stables and distributed them to the generals so that they could move faster.

It was completely dark. They called all the soldiers and asked them if they had any regrets. It was still too late to regret now and they could quit voluntarily.

But no one left.

The soldiers were determined to rebel, and even if there were some who retreated, it was impossible to believe their lies. Once they got on the pirate ship, they would never want to go back.

At this time, streaks of lightning like silver snakes flashed in the sky, and Pei Qantong took the opportunity to say: "The arrival of the real dragon in the sky is a sign that our Emperor of the Xu Kingdom will succeed to the throne. The faint emperor Yang Shou has exhausted his energy. Everyone is still here."

There is nothing to hesitate, we can only change the government in accordance with God’s will.”

The soldiers' morale was greatly boosted and they shouted in unison.

Then Pei Qiantong left Yuanli and Tang Fengyi and went to the palace to go on duty as planned.

At this time, Yang Shou suddenly felt uneasy for no reason, and asked the palace maid Wei Qingluan who was waiting on him: "Do you think it will rain today? It seems to be so gloomy at this time of year. It seems rare. Why do I feel like this?"

Something is going to happen."

Wei Qingluan, a female official in the palace, heard this and quickly brought a cup of tea to Yang Shou: "Your Majesty, it's just cloudy and rainy. It's normal. You must have overworked yourself. It's better to rest early. If you are really worried,

Let me go out and take a look."

"That's fine." Yang Shou's interest waned, he yawned and walked away slowly.

Wei Qingluan took the opportunity to walk out of the palace, claiming that he had followed the emperor's orders and patrolled various places, but the imperial guards did not dare to stop him.

Wei Qingluan took advantage of the darkness and came to the Xuanwu Gate with a colorful lantern. Yuwen Zhiji suddenly rushed out and hugged her slim waist, wanting to kiss her.

Wei Qingluan hurriedly stamped her feet and acted coquettishly: "I'm going to die, but the emperor is not dead yet. Aren't you afraid that the matter will be exposed? Why are you so anxious?"

Yuwen Zhiji chuckled and took out a pair of emerald green jade bracelets from his arms: "Baby, when I think that we are going to be together forever, I dance with joy. Don't be angry. This is me.

Please wear this gift as soon as possible, it is priceless."

Wei Qingluan was a man who knew what he was looking for. He took the bracelet and fiddled with it twice before putting it into his sleeve and said with a smile: "You are a conscientious person."

Yuwen Zhiji rolled his eyes: "How are things going?"

Wei Qingluan said: "Don't worry, I have always been responsible for conveying orders to the inner guards. They will not listen to what I say. I will tell them now and let them have a holiday and go out to play as they please. When they come back tomorrow, everything will be fine."

The dust has settled and there is no way to save it."

"Okay, it's all up to you."

Wei Qingluan spent a while with Yu Wenzhi and Ershan, then turned back to Xuanwu Gate and went directly to the leader of the inner guard to tell him that he had a day off today.

Sure enough, the guards believed her order and left happily.

Yuwen Zhiji was overjoyed when he received the news. He hurriedly joined Meng Bing and led a thousand troops to the outside of the palace. At that time, those responsible for inspecting the palace walls were Zuohou Weilang General Feng Pule and Yan Wang Yang Yan.

Before Feng Pule could react, he was controlled by the You Xiaoguo Army, saying that the emperor had invited him to enter the palace, and that the place was under the command of General Meng Bing, and was taken away.

Yang Yan and Feng Pule were not patrolling in the same direction, so they were not arrested, but they soon received the news and felt something was wrong.

Yang Yan was 90% sure that someone had launched a coup, but he didn't know who it was, and he didn't know how to deal with it. But he couldn't enter the palace anymore, so he climbed in through the dog hole because he was familiar with the road, trying to get in.

He remonstrated with his grandfather Yang Shou to rebel.

Unfortunately, this child was only fifteen years old and very clever. After meeting Tang Fengyi, he said that he was seriously ill and was about to die and wanted to see his grandfather.

Tang Fengyi slashed his sword and sent him directly to see the King of Hell.

Yang Shou returned to the palace and drove away all the beauties who were sleeping with him. He couldn't calm down for a long time and walked around unable to sleep. This lasted until the end of Haishi.

At this time, he saw the fire outside and people making loud noises, so he quickly walked out. Pei Qantong happened to be standing at the door. Yang Shou asked, "What happened?"

Pei Qantong hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, nothing's wrong. There was a fire in the forage yard just now, and now General Sima is leading everyone to put out the fire."

Yang Shou nodded silently: "Fire and water are ruthless. Please pass on my decree and ask Sima Dekan to put out the fire quickly. There must be no mistakes."

"As commanded."

Pei Qintong thought to himself, God help me, I deserve the death of the emperor. At this time, I actually received such an order, so it would be easier to deal with the imperial guards.

Pei Qantong left Yang Shou directly, asked Yuan Li to guard here, ran outside to meet Sima Dekan, and falsely conveyed the imperial edict, asking the imperial guards to go out of the city to put out the fire, and then guided Sima Dekan to occupy half of the palace and clear it out.

All the outer areas are pushed all the way to the outside of the Immortal Hall.

When the imperial guards saw foreign soldiers entering the palace, they quickly gathered more than a hundred people and told them not to move forward. As a result, they were massacred by Pei Qantong and his men.

Then the troops arrived at the Xuanlan Gate. The men stationed at the Xuanlan Gate were Dugu Kaiyuan, Dugu Sheng's brother, the commander of the imperial guards and the general Xiaoguo Army.

Pei Qantong could deceive others, but he could not deceive Dugu Kaiyuan, because Dugu Kaiyuan was the emperor's cousin and he was familiar with everything in the palace. Knowing that the emperor would not allow these foreign soldiers to enter the palace, he immediately closed the palace door and

Pei Qantong and others blocked the outside.

Then Dugu Kaiyuan gathered more than 300 imperial guards to prepare for a decisive battle with the rebels, and sent people to the palace urgently to report the rebellion to the emperor, asking him to personally come out to supervise the battle and quell the rebellion.

But it was too late. Yuan Li controlled the inner palace from the inside. All the people sent by Dugu Kaiyuan were killed by him. The imperial guards fled in fear. In less than an hour, Dugu Kaiyuan was not captured. Pei Qian

Tong ordered all those who resisted to be beheaded, and then entered the inner palace through Xuanlan Gate and Xuanwu Gate.

Wei Qingluan opened the door of Dongnuan Pavilion to welcome them, but after searching for a long time, he could not find Yang Shou. He captured and killed all the maids on duty, leaving only one alive.

The maid was so frightened that she had to tell them that the emperor had fled to Xinuang Pavilion.
