The gate of Jixian Hall had been closed, and only the gate in the middle had opened a crack in vain. Dozens of imperial guards stood there, their swords were unsheathed, and they were nervously facing outside.
I walked over with a group of students holding bows and arrows: "What do you want me to come and see."
Sun Jingfei pointed to the crack that opened the door: "Miss Yan, look down below."
I frowned in confusion, but walked over and carefully approached the middle of the gate and looked down.
When I saw this, I immediately gasped.
Under Jixian Hall, there were many people standing there in the not-so-wide square, but they were not palace maids and eunuchs, nor were they noble princes and civilians in the palace, but were rebels holding swords and fiercely!
Yes, they have already attacked Xuanwu Gate, and they have also met many of their men when they came over from Yihua Palace. It is not surprising that they will gather here, because along the way, there are countless people who have set their sights on us and the bright yellow clothes on Pei Yuanhao.
But strangely—
I actually clearly divided several teams from the following teams.
Although every time the people who attacked us had the same clothes and weapons, when they stood below, they could clearly see that they belonged to several different camps. Although many people were mixed together, they became clear in this way.
I took a look and suddenly understood what was coming, and turned to look at Sun Jingfei.
He was silent and nodded at me.
Just now, I asked him if the rebels who broke into Xuanwu Gate were the soldiers raised by some people. He replied, "It doesn't look like the soldiers of the military government." I thought he had denied my guess, but now I understand that his focus is not "not like", but "one".
These people who attacked the imperial city were not one force, but multiple forces!
Could it be that-
My breathing was suffocated and I looked down again. At this moment, I felt that the wind gushing out from outside was a little bit colder than before. I looked for a while, then took a step back. Two people guarding behind the door immediately stepped forward and closed the door tightly.
I asked, "Did you figure it out? Who is it?"
Sun Jingfei said: "After they entered Xuanwu Gate, they broke into the palace in several ways. On the way, they probably got some information and knew that the emperor had arrived at Jixian Hall, so they gathered here. But they haven't seen their leaders yet, so they don't know yet."
"How many people are there below."
"No less than three hundred people."
“…”
There were no less than 300 people. In fact, even if there were three or four hundred people, it was not too many for the guards of the entire imperial city. But the problem was that the other party had already taken the lead and attacked Xuanwu Gate with lightning speed, causing chaos in the imperial city. Now it has surrounded Jixian Hall where the emperor is. Before more reinforcements arrive, these three or four hundred people are enough to accomplish a big thing!
And once they really take control of the emperor, the situation will be even more difficult!
I said, "We must keep here before reinforcements come."
Sun Jingfei said: "Of course, but-"
"But what?"
He frowned slightly, looked at the closed door again, and said, "These people have already entered the palace. Although they have not seen their leader, they have all gathered here, which shows that the purpose is the same. But now they have arrived outside Jixian Hall, but they have not taken action immediately..."
"Maybe, they are just waiting for their leader."
"Will the leader give the order and then attack again?"
"..." I was silent for a moment, "not necessarily."
Even if I rebelled, I had entered the palace, and had blood on my sword, and I knew that there was no way back. The first major thing was to control the emperor. But now they knew that the emperor was in Jixian Hall, and they also knew that there was no formality here. A large number of troops should attack quickly, but they did not take action immediately. Then there was only one explanation.
Their opinions were divided.
When you look at the clearly divided teams below, this explanation is almost true.
Those who broke into the palace should be the ones who came to the capital for some reason to "confront" the emperor - the sons of the Marquis of Jin, the Lin clan of Yunzhong, the Yuan clan of Runan, etc. If you guessed correctly, they were the ones who attacked Pei Yuanhao before when they were in Yangzhou.
This time, these people obviously came to Beijing with their purpose. Usually, kings, princes and nobles from all over the country could not bring troops to Beijing, but could only bring a certain number of followers. They obviously had some tampering in the "respondents". If the number of these "respondents" was added up, it would be as impressive as it is now.
The palace was because they planned to gain power after the court's previous decision-making, but after Pei Ji failed because of the emergence of Pei Ji, they simply took action.
It's just--I'm a little weird.
If you dare to enter the palace, you must have made unified arrangements in advance, and you must reach a consensus on certain matters before you can do this big thing. But why did they have different opinions after entering the palace? This is a problem that should not arise in any coup!
Did there be any variables that they did not expect during this period?
Sun Jingfei looked beside him for a while, then said in a deep voice: "No matter what they want to do, it's not wrong to keep here. You guys--"
He called the students and said, "You should watch from the height of the main hall. If they take a step and shoot immediately, they must not attack easily."
The students nodded and scattered to the high walls on both sides of the main hall. The tables and chairs that were temporarily dragged were used as their foothold, and they pulled the bow and turned the strings below.
Sun Jingfei's subordinates were all lying at the gate and closely monitored the area.
The two sides confronted each other like this.

Time passes very slowly.
Every time my heartbeat and breathing was prolonging, thinking that a long time had passed, but when I came back to my senses, I found that it was only a moment.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! The people below have already left their bodies, and they are shining with cold light at this Jixian Hall, which exudes the fragrance of ink and paper. It seems that they will tear everything here to pieces in the next moment, casting a shadow in their hearts. I stood behind the gate, listening nervously as the wind blows through the copper bells under the eaves, and a shocking sound comes.
At this moment, another noise came from below.
My heart was raised-
Are they going to start the attack?
Sun Jingfei and the others also reacted quickly. They immediately held the hilt of the knife in their hands and looked down with bright eyes. But after a while, they did not hear the sound of charge. Instead, they heard Sun Jingfei "Huh".
I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
He opened his eyes wide in shock and looked down: "They-"
I couldn't help but hurriedly walked over and looked down. I saw that among the people below, a few people rode their horses slowly walked out and walked down the steps. The students guarding the high place immediately nervously pointed the arrow at the people below.
Sun Jingfei shouted: "Don't do it first!"
As soon as the words were finished, the students neatly relaxed the already tight bowstrings, but the arrows were still on the bow.
And those people have already reached the stairs. As long as we take a step further, we will climb the stairs. We finally see clearly that it was Gongsun Qi and the others in military uniforms. Among them, Yuan Mingde said loudly: "You all listen to the people from Jixian Palace. I will come into the palace to help the king protect you. Don't resist stubbornly anymore, come out quickly!"
Responsible for the king and protect the emperor?
When the four words were heard, the people around him immediately frowned.
These people attacked Xuanwu Gate and entered the imperial city. Even the team escorting the emperor was blocked by them. They even dared to say shamelessly, "Self-responsible for the king and protect the emperor"!
Sun Jingfei was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "These people are so shameless!"
His men also said, "Prior to protect the king? What's going on?"
"Is there anyone who protects the king like this?"
However, although the people in Jixian Palace thought this way, there were no people below. Instead, the soldiers and horses behind them immediately shouted loudly when they heard the words "Fighting for the King and Protecting the Lord". They burst into the imperial city, and soon they could spread far away.
When I heard this, my heart suddenly sank: "Not good!"
When Sun Jingfei heard what I said, he turned to look at me: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"
I frowned and looked down.
They had just entered the Xuanwu Gate and rushed in the palace. They were all traitors and would definitely be despised by the people of the world. But at this moment, they suddenly shouted the slogan "Super the King and Protect the Lord", which was equivalent to putting themselves on the justice side. At this moment, they were already famous!
I suddenly understood why they didn't rushed up immediately just now.
Because they have differences here, Yuan Mingde and others must not have such a brain. Someone came up with this solution when we closed the Jixian Palace and were about to confront them!
I gritted my teeth and said to Sun Jingfei: "I'll say something, you ask them to shout."
Sun Jingfei glanced at me, nodded, and hurriedly turned around and greeted the people of the Imperial Guard.
I said to the following: "The emperor is well in the palace to recuperate. What king do you do and what kind of guard you?!"
When Yuan Mingde heard this, he immediately said, "The emperor was harmed by a traitor and was unconscious, which caused chaos in the court. We are here today to kill the traitor and the country to eliminate the harm!"
I said, "The emperor is not at peace with his dragon body, which is caused by his fatigue for several days. The imperial physician in the palace was recuperating. In the previous dynasty, there was also a prince who supervised the country and the emperor assisted the government. How could you say that the traitors are harmed and the court was in chaos? Doing this is simply forcing the palace to rebel!"
