Just when Yang Wenyan was still in a conflicted mood, Yang Wenyuan's voice suddenly rang out from outside the camp.

"Yes, Lord! Wen Yan is here!"

In public, Yang Wenyan directly called out Yang Wenyuan's title.

At the same time, as soon as he heard Yang Wenyuan's tone, Yang Wenyan realized that he had something important to discuss with him.

Who would dare to shout in the palace in the middle of the night?

And how did Yang Wenyuan get here?
Yang Wenyan personally opened the door and welcomed Yang Wenyuan in.

At the same time, he also saw blood flowing on Yang Wenyuan's body.

"What are you..."

Seeing the blood on Yang Wenyuan's body, Yang Wenyan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Something big has happened in the palace!"

Seeing Yang Wenyan's worried expression, Yang Wenyuan immediately laughed heartily:
"Don't worry, brother! This is all the blood stains from the thieves I have killed along the way!"

Only then did Yang Wenyan breathe a sigh of relief.

However, before he could ask in detail, he saw Yang Wenyuan's face suddenly turned serious. He walked around him and faced the imperial guards who were following behind.

"Prince Yan committed a crime by allowing his soldiers to commit murder inside and outside the palace!"

With a clang, Yang Wenyuan pulled out the bloody blade, pointed it directly at the inner city, and said sternly:

"A real man should sacrifice his life for his country today! Serving the king and protecting him today!"

"Gentlemen, are you willing to join me in suppressing the traitors?!"

The guards below the stage were stunned by Yang Wenyuan's words.

However, even if some people did not know Yang Wenyuan before, after hearing Yang Wenyan calling him "Marquis", they naturally knew Yang Wenyuan's identity as Marquis of Pingyang.

"His family is willing to sacrifice their titles, so why should I back down?"

"Give it a try, fame and fortune are just around the corner!"

There was a brief silence in the venue.

"As ordered!"

"I am willing to follow the general!"

"..."

After winning over the army, Yang Wenyuan did not immediately go to rescue the king.

The palace gate of the inner city must have been controlled by Prince Yan's men. At the very least, the area around the main hall must also be surrounded by Prince Yan's men.

Anyone who dares to follow Prince Yan in starting a war in the palace today must be someone who has thrown his life and property behind his back and is determined to die if he fails.

In order to protect their own achievements and contributions, they would definitely risk their lives for King Yan.

With such a team of imperial guards now, I'm afraid they won't even be able to enter the palace gate.

The officials were not in a hurry to protect the emperor.

After all, even if Prince Yan had ten thousand guts, he would not dare to commit regicide in public and murder his own royal family.

The best he could do was to coerce the emperor into signing the abdication decree.

At present, the most important thing for Yang Wenyuan is to mobilize enough forces to quell the unrest outside the inner city.

First, he arranged personnel to go to the other three palace gates to explain the pros and cons to the imperial guards there - in the final analysis, it was to drag them into the water.

If the rebels had already entered the imperial city, those who were still there now would most likely have an undecided attitude.

But you could pretend to be deaf and dumb before, but now that I have sent someone to tell you in person, you have to express your opinion, right?

"Brother, I have something important to ask of you."

While everyone was getting ready, Yang Wenyuan pulled Yang Wenyan aside and whispered secretly:
"We don't know how many soldiers the Ni King has, and whether we have enough. We need you to go to the camp outside the capital and recruit soldiers to enter the city."

"I go?"

Yang Wenyan glared:
"Without the military token, who can mobilize the troops stationed outside the city?"

"There is still some chance if my father goes in person, but I definitely can't do that."

Yang Wenyuan naturally understood Yang Wenyan's concerns.

"Not just you."

This rescue operation certainly cannot be led by the Yang family alone.

It is enough to have Yang Wenyuan be the first to raise the title of loyal king, but he also needs to pull in others to strengthen the momentum, otherwise no matter which new king will come to the throne in the future, the position of the Yang family will be somewhat awkward.

It just so happens that there is an excellent candidate right now—Gu Tingye.

In this way, he could not only make up for the debt Yang Wenyuan owed to him for interfering with his destiny, but he could also borrow the reputation of the Gu family.

In terms of status, Gu Tingye, who has great hope of inheriting the title of Marquis of Ningyuan in the future, is much higher in status than Yang Wenyan.

Gu Tingye going to the outskirts of Beijing to mobilize troops was just like Yang Wenyuan coming here to raise his arms and call for action.

"You go to Gu Tingye's house, and he will know what to do then."

"All right!"

Yang Wenyan took the order and prepared to leave.

"Let's go to the mansion first..."

Before Yang Wenyuan finished speaking, Yang Wenyan smiled and replied:

"understood!"

"Go!" "Da Da!"

Yang Wenyan's figure quickly disappeared into the distance.

After watching Yang Wenyan leave, Yang Wenyuan also began to integrate all the imperial guards stationed in the outer city.

After the integration was completed, people began to investigate the condition of the palace gate leading to the inner city.

"General, the palace gates leading to the inner city have been occupied by thieves!"

"I'm here too!"

"General..."

As Yang Wenyuan expected, all the palace gates were occupied by Prince Yan's men, and they began to shout on the palace city, saying things like "Are you planning a rebellion?" and "After tonight, the new king will take the throne, and you will definitely implicate your relatives."

The palace gate is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and private storage of palace equipment is not allowed in the imperial guard camp, so at this moment the thieves are in a high position, and no matter how brave Yang Wenyuan is, there is no way he can do anything.

They could only block the palace gates while hoping that Gu Tingye could quickly quell the unrest in the city and bring engineering equipment.

Just as Yang Wenyuan was counting the number of rebels on the city wall, under the light, Yang Wenyuan suddenly saw clearly who the leader on the city gate was - Rong Xian!
At this moment, there was no trace of childishness on Rong Xian's face anymore, instead it was filled with the firmness of a mature man.

Even in the darkness, Yang Wenyuan seemed to be able to sense the surging ambition in Rong Xian's heart.

At first he might have wanted to avenge his sister, but at this point, what he has in his heart is more of a desire for power and a vision of future family prosperity!
"Rongxian!"

Yang Wenyuan shouted loudly to Rong Xian on the top of the city wall:

"Are you really determined to rebel with Prince Yan?"

"Yang Wenyuan!"

Seeing that Yang Wenyuan had detected his figure, Rong Xian no longer hid behind his men. He immediately snatched the torch from the hand of the person next to him, stood on the top of the city wall, and shouted loudly:

"Don't talk nonsense! Tonight, the new king and I are not rebelling. Instead, we are saving the king!"

Rather than talking to Yang Wenyuan, it would be more accurate to say that Rong Xian was explaining to everyone the rationality of tonight's coup:
"Prince Yong has long harbored evil intentions and is planning a rebellion!"

"He had bribed the imperial physician to poison the emperor's food, which caused the emperor's health to deteriorate."

"He has been eager to usurp the throne!"

"Today, His Royal Highness Prince Yan and I found evidence and were about to present it to the emperor. Who would have thought that the news accidentally leaked to Prince Yong's ears? That's why we had no choice but to take this risky action!"

"This is really not what we want!"

Rong Xian on the top of the city wall expressed his sincere love and earnest voice:
"Rong understands that you are loyal to the emperor and the country, and you may be deceived by the traitors and it is difficult to distinguish between loyalty and treachery. In this case, why don't you withdraw for the time being and wait for the imperial edict? Then Rong will definitely plead for you and speak for you!"

? ?
Looking at the passionate speeches above, Yang Wenyuan couldn't help but be stunned.

That’s not right. Is this still the Rong Xian I know?

When did you become so eloquent?

These words were said with such righteousness.

However, polite words are just polite words, and few people would believe a blank check. Yang Wenyuan secretly looked around and found that no one around him showed any interest, and no one spoke up to refute it.

They all said nothing, just waiting for Yang Wenyuan to take the lead.

"What a pity! I was thinking of taking advantage of the situation and making an example of him!"

As Yang Wenyuan and Gu Tingye said privately, "This dynasty has lost some blood and gained some calculations!"

Within the main hall.

Prince Yan has already controlled the emperor and many ministers.

In the harem, Concubine Rong and Princess Yan are in control.

Everything was being implemented smoothly according to Prince Yan's plan - the next step was to get the emperor to sign the abdication edict, then take the military command to control the capital and place the emperor on the throne of the emperor.

It’s done!
As for King Yong...

That brainless thing.

After tricking him into the palace and launching a coup, he had his men "accidentally" send him to death.

Prince Yan knew that time was urgent, and had been whispering to the emperor to sign the abdication edict he had prepared long ago.

The official was already weak, and was frightened by such a big scene, and began to tremble.

Seeing that Prince Yong was dead, he felt his hope was diminished.

While Prince Yong was threatening, Concubine Rong was also busy.

He named the officials' wives who had been tricked into the palace tonight one by one, and slowly pointed to Princess Yong and Princess Jiacheng.

"Somebody come!"

Rong Feiyan pointed at the two of them, then laughed heartily to everyone around him and said:
"I've rewarded you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding bandits, who had been jealous for a long time, pounced on them like wolves and tigers, and then dragged the two noble ladies to the side.

After a while, the desperate cries of the mother and daughter echoed in the ears of everyone in the hall.

It's so close that just hearing it makes people feel cold all over.

"And you...My Lord Princess!"

At this moment, Rong Feiyan's eyes suddenly moved, and then she looked viciously at Princess Pingning who was already stunned:
"Compared to the two of them, you are no less capable than them!"

"If you hadn't deliberately delayed, my sister wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable way!"

"Tick tock~!"

"Tick tock~!"

At some point, Princess Pingning's skirt became wet. (End of this chapter)
