Chapter 442

Why is Tai Tu so impatient? In fact, he should not do anything at this time.

However, he can't wait any longer, because the situation is not good for him, if he waits any longer, Murong Jie will continue to exploit his power, and at that time, he will really lose to King Nanhuai.

Taking advantage of the fact that the people attached to him are still there, if he wants to act, he must at least let those people know that the crown prince is the orthodox one.

Moreover, both the crown prince and Concubine Liang saw with their own eyes that the emperor was suffering from ghost-faced sores, and when all the officials forced them into the palace, it was impossible for the emperor not to abdicate.

Therefore, he took the initiative to contact King Nanhuai, and the two parties temporarily calmed down their fighting, and made plans after the emperor abdicated, because it took time for the emperor to abdicate until the crown prince ascended the throne. Yes, if the emperor does not abdicate, neither of them can see hope.

Moreover, it is now confirmed that the emperor is suffering from ghost-faced sores. If this matter does not become a big issue, Murong Jie will eat away at their power bit by bit and strengthen himself. When the time comes, the world will belong to Murong Jie.

Due to all these considerations, he couldn't wait any longer and had to attack immediately.

However, Chen Taijun was standing in front of them now, so they couldn't go in. Although half of the imperial guards were his people, the other half were Murong Jie's people.

He winked at Lu Dingwei, who nodded slightly and left quietly.

Chen Taijun confronted them for about an hour, and then he saw Marquis Wu An coming with soldiers and horses.

At the same time, Su Qing also appeared beside Chen Taijun, said a few words to Chen Taijun, Chen Taijun nodded slightly.

Now it is a close confrontation.

Marquis Wu'an sat on his horseback, majestic and majestic, and he couldn't dismount Chen Taijun.

When Taifu Liang saw Marquis Wu An bringing someone over, he exchanged glances with Concubine Liang, both of whom were a little smug.

If you really want to make a fuss, you are naturally not Chen Taijun's opponent. However, it will take time for Chen Taijun to mobilize a large number of soldiers and horses. , and because the Chen family doesn't care about the affairs of the court, although there are not many soldiers, they are not as good as Marquis Wu'an.

"Little boy, are you here to join in the fun?" Chen Taijun actually called Wu Anhou directly. Wu Anhou was already in his forties, but he was called Wu Anhou in front of all the officials. It can be seen that the old matriarch did not give Wu Anhou any face. , even, provoked the line of fire.

Sure enough, Marquis Wu'an was furious, so he rode his horse and rushed towards Chen Taijun.

Marquis Wu An is a man of action, he never talks too much, he is bound to rush into the palace today, so he decided to chop the mess quickly to prevent the Chen family's reinforcements from arriving.

In this way, what was supposed to be a confrontation turned into a confrontation.

This fight came at a strange time, but it was also logical, because everyone had been restrained for a long time.

Although the old matriarch is old, she has a good foundation. She faced Wu Anhou in person, and she did not show any signs of defeat, with a long whip and a whip.

However, the old matriarch's people didn't do anything ruthless, they just dealt with Wu'anhou's people, they didn't hurt anyone, they didn't back down, it seemed like they were delaying time.

Yes, it is indeed a delay.

Because, two more teams came.

One team is the Xiao Family Army led by Lord Xiao Hou, and the other team is the royal guards led by Prince An.

Three parties against one party, Marquis Wu An suffered a disadvantage and could only retreat.

Although he tried his best to avoid casualties, dozens of people were injured, and the injuries were not serious.

Lord Xiaohou led troops to guard the palace gate, with a long knife in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Without the emperor's or the regent's order, whoever dares to enter this palace gate, don't blame the old man for being ruthless."

The prince said angrily: "I want to enter the palace, don't you dare to kill me?"

With that said, he walked towards the palace gate.

Lord Xiao Hou didn't hesitate at all, raised the knife in his hand and dropped it, the prince only felt a cold wind blowing above his head, his scalp was numb for a while, there was already a strand of hair on the ground, and the feather crown was scattered.

"You are so brave, you dare to use a knife on the prince?" After the prince broke out in a cold sweat, he was furious.

Lord Xiaohou said coldly: "The next one to hit the ground will be the crown prince's head."

The prince was so angry that his face turned blue, but he was really afraid of his sword, so he cursed viciously: "Wait a minute, if I ascend the throne, you, an old man, will be the first to be chopped off."

Lord Xiao Hou sneered, his face didn't care at all.

Prince An stepped forward immediately, leaned slightly to look at King Nanhuai, and said solemnly: "You go back now, there is still time!"

King Nanhuai cupped his hands, "Brother Huang, I just came to ask for clarification, and I didn't plan to make trouble."

"What do you want to ask? Is the emperor a ghost-faced sore?"

"Yes, I just want to know that."

Prince An smiled slowly, "So what if it is? So what if it's not?"

King Nanhuai said: "If yes, I have someone under my command who can be treated. If not, I will immediately go to quell the rumors among the people."

Prince An nodded, "Well, the king told you that the emperor is not a ghost, you can go and quell the rumors among the people."

"I haven't seen it with my own eyes yet." King Nanhuai didn't back down at all.

"You don't believe me?" Prince An raised his eyebrows.

"If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe anyone."

Prince An said coldly: "The crown prince and Concubine Liang said that the emperor is a ghost-faced sore. You haven't seen it with your own eyes, so how can you believe it? If you don't believe it, what are you going to do with them? As the prince of Fengjiang, everything in the capital is as good as it is." You have nothing to do, if you still want to stay in Beijing to spend more time with your mother and concubine, then take your people and leave immediately."

King Nanhuai still had a respectful expression on his face, "No, what the second brother said is wrong. The emperor is the elder brother of the minister and the monarch of the minister. If the elder brother is sick, how can the younger brother not save him? The minister doesn't care about political affairs or What Liang Taifu and the crown prince are going to do, the minister only wants to treat the emperor's illness, that's all."

Prince An sneered, and simply remained silent. He led his men and horses to stand guard in front of the palace gate, and confronted a group of covetous people indifferently.

In Xiwei Palace, Zi'an was in the sleeping hall, while Murong Jie and the Empress Dowager who had rushed over after receiving news from outside the palace were sitting in the outer hall.

The guards kept coming in to report the news, Murong Jie just listened, and occasionally issued an order or two, but none of them helped the overall situation.

The empress dowager was impatient, "What should I do? Are you still not dispatching troops? It will be too late to wait for Taifu's personal soldiers and King Nanhuai's troops to arrive."

Murong Jie smiled, "Queen Mother, don't worry, I just want to wait for them to send troops."

"Why?" The empress dowager panicked, "We don't know how many people King Nanhuai brought back this time, let alone how many soldiers and horses the Taifu has in command. Once there is a fight, we have no chance of winning, and the imperial army also has their people."

Murong Jie got up and grabbed the Empress Dowager, pressed her into the chair, and comforted her: "What are you worried about? If you really kill me, isn't this king standing in front of the queen mother? If you want to kill, you must kill this king first, and then, this king If they are strong and healthy, they can at least take a hundred knives, and if this king is not dead, they will die of exhaustion."

Although the empress dowager was impatient, she was also amused by him, "Nonsense, no one is serious, the Ai family is dying of anxiety, and you are still talking poorly."

Eunuch Sun said with a smile: "Empress Dowager, don't worry. The prince means that one is delaying time, and the other is that he wants to see that they have moved the real chapter. Only by moving the real chapter can they be sure. That's why they let Chen Taijun Deliberately go to war with them."
