Chapter seven hundred and eighty-four: everyone gets it and kills it
After waiting for two days, I read the novel and went to Biquli.
There is still no news about King Zhao outside.
It seems that King Zhao doesn't want to rebel.
In this way, the tense atmosphere in the palace diluted a little, but the rebels outside would always appear in the distance in groups to observe the movements in the palace.
Only these actions prove that King Zhao had rebelled, but he did not directly lead troops to fight head-on.
However, all this...
It was as expected by Chen Kaizhi and Mu Xu.
King Zhao was not in a hurry to attack, or he had no intention of attacking at all.
This made Mu Xu a little anxious. In fact, many imperial guards were indeed extremely anxious. Fortunately, the Warriors' camp was quite steady. After all, the patience cultivated after training was enough.
Chen Kaizhi stayed on the city tower.
In the evening, standing on the city wall, looking at the sunset in the west from afar. The red glow reflected the whole sky red. He squinted his eyes, and seemed to be thinking about something in his heart.
In the distance, there are newly built tall towers. The rebels used this tower to look out, and seemed to be preparing to build a stone casting cart.
At this moment, it was particularly conspicuous under the red sunset.
Unfortunately, Chen Kaizhi did not transport the artillery. In fact, Feiyu Peak had already begun to evacuate. Everyone on the mountain urgently took the boat and went down the water toward Jibei.
The reason why Chen Kaizhi did not carry cannons was one of the inconvenience. Secondly, shooting outside in this palace was tantamount to the houses and people in the distance of the muzzle. Although he was not a kind person, he had some concerns.
If a cannon was shot out, what a tragic situation would it be? Countless people were displaced overnight and blood flowed into a river. He did not want to hurt the innocent, nor did he want to be a cruel person.
But now, it will be too late to delay any further.
Chen Kaizhi seemed extremely calm, but behind the calmness, he felt a little anxious.
"What is the Duke of the National Guardian thinking?"
Behind him, a voice said.
The sound is both familiar and unfamiliar.
Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but look back, but saw that Chen Wuji had already climbed the city wall at some point. He was wearing a shawl. It seemed that the circle of these days had not caused him any hardship. He was still energetic, with a graceful face and beautiful appearance.
Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but smile, and Chen Wuji was indeed released.
"Nothing, Your Highness...good." Chen Kaizhi said calmly.
Chen Wuji bowed slightly to him, as if he was unwilling to accept the word "Your Highness". He then said, "I was thinking that the Protector of the Country is full of worries, and there are only two things he is concerned about, one is the rebels outside the city, and the other is me."
"Hmm?" Chen Kaizhi laughed: "Because of Your Highness?"
Chen Wuji stood shoulder to shoulder with Chen Kaizhi in front of the female wall, patting the cold and bone-banging stacks with his hands, but he seemed to be unaware of it, and then said.
"Yes, you must be wondering why I became a prince and why the Empress Dowager brought me here. We have been parting since Jinling for many years. At that time, it was really nostalgic."
His eyes began to become lonely, and his face also showed a faint sense of sorrow.
"When we meet now, we two brothers have become strangers, but we are still familiar with each other. This may be God's will. I will tell you your questions." He looked at Chen Kaizhi sideways and looked at him seriously, and his eyes became sincere. "When the rebellion ends, I will tell you the truth, because... in this world, I can keep anything to anyone, but I will never keep it to you..."
He thought about it and said, "Because I live in this world, have been blatant, have been bullied, have endured the pain that ordinary people cannot bear, have also enjoyed the wealth and glory of the world. However, these, whether they are unhappy or happy, or things of joy or sorrow, are not important to me. The only memory of my life is in the days when I was in Jinling and in that cottage, I depend on you for life."
He said his eyes turned red, but there was still a smile on his lips.
"Only then, I knew clearly that I was alive and lived well, and only these memories allowed me to calm my mind, without joy or sorrow, and realize that I was flesh and blood."
Well……
Looking at this bright young man, this fair skin color is so beautiful and handsome, and Chen Kaizhi suddenly had an illusion when he said this to himself, "Damn it, is this no different from Daji?"
He was ashamed and sighed deeply: "Then let's solve the current trouble."
Chen Wuji nodded. Perhaps if he knew what Chen Kaizhi was thinking at the moment, he would be afraid that he would strangle Chen Kaizhi to death directly, but he smiled slightly: "The army and horses outside the city are growing more and more. If you can't cut the mess quickly, you will be in big trouble. Therefore, within five days, you must defeat the enemy. Is there a way to protect the Duke?"
Chen Kaizhi smiled, "If we go out of the palace city to find the rebels to fight to the decisive battle, we are afraid that the rebels will take this opportunity to attack the palace city. If we lose the palace city, then even if we can lucky enough to annihilate most of the rebels, it will be meaningless."
"So..." Chen Kaizhi held the hilt of the sword at his waist fiercely, and the only way was to take risks.
"Adventure?" Chen Wuji looked at Chen Kaizhi.
Chen Kaizhi said: "Only the Empress Dowager Xiang is borrowing something."
"What?"
Chen Kaizhi said: "You will know tomorrow."
As soon as the words came, both of them were speechless. They raised their eyes and looked at the sunset in the sky. The red sunset was particularly dazzling. For a moment, the whole world was particularly beautiful, as if time had stopped at this moment.
The next morning, Chen Kaizhi hurried to Wanshou Palace.
In Wanshou Palace, the Empress Dowager left the bedroom and watched several female officials kicking Cuju in the vestibule, and smiled from time to time.
It seemed that the Empress Dowager didn't care about what was happening outside at all. It was indeed terrible to be calm.
When she saw Chen Kaizhi coming, Chen Wuji also stepped in slowly.
The Empress Dowager looked up at him and asked, "Why, Kaizhi, why don't you guard the city, why are you here to do?"
After Chen Kaizhi gave the salute, he saw Empress Dowager Mu sitting under the eaves worriedly. Although he could only smile, he obviously couldn't laugh when he watched the female official play.
At this time, there are really no other expressions except anxiety.
Chen Kaizhidao: "Does the Empress know the situation outside the palace?"
The Empress Dowager stood up, and a eunuch hurriedly supported her. She said, "How could the Ai family not know? King Zhao has never come to attack the palace city, which shows that he must have other plans."
Chen Kaizhi focused his attention and then said seriously: "If I cannot win in one battle, then I will be trapped here. I think if I continue to delay, I will definitely die."
"That's the reason." The Empress Dowager said with a smile: "The Ai family has always been worried. Don't look at the Ai family as if they are nothing, but thinking about the ancestors and the country fall into the hands of King Zhao and others, they can't sleep. Oh, but what about the Ai family? Can they panic? Don't panic. The sky falls, and the Ai family has to hold on to you. At this time, the Ai family has placed their hopes on you. The current situation is getting worse and worse. We orphans and widows will stay in the palace sooner or later, we will have to be different from each other."
She said, standing up, her skirt swaying in the wind, but she looked quite old.
She frowned at Chen Kaizhi and said word by word.
"If the country is in trouble, I will think of good generals. The Ai family will put your hope on you. If you succeed and become famous, the Ai family and others will be able to overcome dangers. But if you are unfortunately in trouble, the Ai family and others will have to die to thank the country. After you say that, what are your plans?"
Chen Kaizhi stared at the Empress Dowager: "The only way is to force King Zhao to fight a decisive battle outside the palace city!"
The Empress Dowager nodded: "You are right, but, the time is with him, how can he be willing to fight to the decisive battle?"
"So..." Chen Kaizhi said: "I came here and wanted to borrow something from the Empress Dowager."
"You said that." The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes and looked at Chen Kaizhi.
Chen Kai said in one sentence: "Your Majesty!"
As soon as the word "Your Majesty" was released, almost everyone was moved.
"Only Your Majesty can force King Zhao to fight to the death. Therefore, I beg the Empress to beg you to let His Majesty move to the palace gate."
The Empress Dowager took a deep breath, and even she had to admire her. Chen Kaizhi was bold enough. To put it bluntly, this is a big deal in the world. Once Chen Kaizhi did this, he was afraid...
She pondered for a long time before sighing deeply: "Then you go and do it."
Chen Kaizhi knew that the Empress Dowager seemed to have made up her mind and hugged her hands: "I obey the order."
After leaving Wanshou Palace, Chen Wuji followed. Outside this palace, several imperial guards had already come with Chen Kai's way and waited outside. Chen Kai's way: "Go to Qianning Palace!"
Everyone stopped hesitating, and they pressed their swords all the way to Qianning Palace. When the eunuchs here saw it, they were so scared that they were trembling.
Chen Kaizhi swayed with his head up, and he didn't even look at them. When he arrived at the bedroom, he saw that the little emperor was losing his temper at this time.
Several eunuchs knelt at his feet. Although the little emperor was young, he showed anger. It seemed that something had been smashed on the ground, and it was in a mess. The little emperor was about to yell: "I will never tolerate that dog thief."
But when he looked up, he saw several huge and burly shadows appearing on the porch. Chen Kaizhi stared at him tightly: "Come here, please move your Majesty."
The eunuchs looked at each other, not daring to speak.
A bold eunuch said: "Duke the country...Duke the country, you...What do you mean? Do you know..."
Chen Kaizhi said sternly: "I will say it again, please move your Majesty to Zhengding Gate!"
The eunuch was so scared that his face looked like a mortal, and he was busy with his head hanging down.
The imperial guards brought by Chen Kaizhi did not dare to take any action. After all, they knew very well that no matter what, the emperor was the emperor after all. If he did something excessive today, who would know what would happen tomorrow?
