Chapter 554: Jingbei Hou Rebellion
Chapter 554: Jingbei Hou Rebellion
At noon on the second day, after a series of complicated procedures, Jun Moyue ascended the palace tower to be worshipped by the people. After completing this ceremony, he became the legitimate emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty!
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
Outside the imperial palace under the city wall, all the civil and military officials knelt on the ground, and the people in the capital followed suit, looking at their new emperor with admiration and shouting "Long live the emperor", their voices resounding through the sky.
"Be flat!"
Jun Moyue had just uttered these two words when something unexpected happened!
Dozens of men in black cloaks suddenly appeared out of nowhere on the city wall, and their withered hands turned into claws as they attacked Jun Moye!
"Be careful, Your Majesty!"
The Xiuxian guards led by Leng Yi reacted very quickly and jumped into battle.
Lin Kang, Lin Ping, Lin An, and Youfu appeared and protected Jun Moyue in the middle.
At the same time, countless men in black clothes suddenly emerged from the streets and alleys nearby, each of them holding a sharp sword and full of murderous intent. Seeing this, the common people crawled up from the ground, screaming and running away. The men in black ignored these ordinary people, passed through them and attacked the civil and military officials directly!
"All soldiers, listen up and protect the lords!"
A sharp sword appeared out of nowhere in Cao Zhu's hand. He roared, and countless men dressed in ordinary people's clothes tore off their loose outer coats, drew out the daggers hidden at their waists, and attacked the strong-suited men passing by.
These people were caught off guard and lost several people in an instant!
These strong-armed men soon got into a fight with Cao Zhu and the others.
"General Cao, if you know what's best for you, put down your weapons and surrender to me, or my men will shoot you into hedgehogs!"
There were dense crowds of soldiers standing on the surrounding roofs at some point, with their bows drawn and arrows on the strings, ready to be shot at any time.
"Zhao Shoude, you bastard, you actually dared to rebel, I'll kill you!"
Zhao Junle, who was about to fly up to the city wall to protect the emperor, saw that a bastard from his own branch dared to lead troops to rebel. He shouted angrily, turned around and rushed towards him!
"Fire arrows!"
Zhao Shoude saw that Cao Zhu and others ignored him. Zhao Junle flew to the roof with a group of kids and rushed towards them. He sneered and waved his hand to give orders without mercy!
Dense arrows shot towards Zhao Junle and others as well as the soldiers below!
"Focus on the battle. General Zhao and the others will take care of those archers!"
The soldiers who were fighting with the men in tight clothes below were a little distracted when they saw the enemy archers appear. But when they heard Cao Zhu's words and found that Zhao Junle was followed by those extremely powerful guys who had fought in the battlefield with them before, they immediately felt relieved and put all their energy into killing the enemy.
These soldiers were the elite troops that Cao Zhu had secretly brought out from the military camp last night. All of them had been baptized by war and had mastered the killing moves taught by Lin Xi. Those men in tight clothes were no match for them at all and they were soon forced to retreat by Cao Zhu and these soldiers.
Zhao Shoude, who was standing on the roof, saw the sharp arrows shot by his men suddenly turn around and shoot towards their own people. His face was full of disbelief, and he hurriedly shouted: "Be careful, get down!"
The rebels reacted quickly and lay down to avoid the arrows shot back.
"Let them try our archery skills!"
The girl tied her hair up high with a scornful smile on her lips. She flew into the air with her team members, looking down at the rebels on the roof. She pulled the bow in her hand to full and shot arrows continuously. With the wailing sounds, the number of rebels on the roof became less and less.
Daya's heroic appearance was deeply imprinted in the mind of Zhao Junhuan, who was protecting the old prime minister and Zhao Che below.
When the riot broke out just now, all the civil and military officials who were originally kneeling on the ground rushed towards the men in tight clothes, took the weapons thrown to them by Cao Zhu, and bravely killed the enemies.
In order to avoid causing trouble, the civil servants gathered together and hid far away.
At this time, they saw Marquis Jingbei and a group of guards holding long swords surrounded them and questioned them one after another.
"Marquis Jingbei, what do you mean?"
"Marquis Jingbei, these are all your people, right? You are so bold! How dare you lead troops to rebel!"
"Marquis Jingbei, I advise you to order your men to lay down their weapons. Who knows, the Regent may be able to leave your body intact!"
"Look at how your people are losing ground. Marquis Jingbei, you'd better be sensible so as not to implicate your people!"
......
Hearing this, Marquis Jingbei laughed and said, "Don't worry, these people are just stalling for time. I will definitely be the winner in the end. You don't need to worry about me. Just wait here and wait for me to become the emperor. Don't have any bad ideas, because the swords in the hands of my soldiers are blind."
"You traitor, dream on! I will never support you becoming emperor even if I die!"
The Imperial Censor, Lord Tang, suddenly spat at Marquis Jingbei and said angrily with his back straightened.
Seeing this, the soldier standing next to Jingbei Hou stepped forward and was about to attack him, but Jingbei Hou stopped him. He looked at Lord Tang and the others and said, "Lord Tang, you are a man of high character and not afraid of death, but you have to think about your family. To be honest, your family members are now in my hands. I will talk to you properly after the battle here is over."
Seeing the officials' faces change drastically, Marquis Jingbei smiled complacently.
"Greetings, sir. The army has been assembled and is ready to attack the palace at any time!"
Suddenly, Zhao Bing, the son of the Minister of Rites, dressed in armor and accompanied by fully armed soldiers, ran over from the avenue next to the palace and respectfully reported to Marquis Jingbei.
"Attack the palace!"
Marquis Jingbei no longer paid any attention to these civil servants. He gave orders to Zhao Bing and charged towards the palace gate with them to fight with the yellow-armored soldiers guarding the gate.
"Second brother, you really raised a good son, but he actually dared to rebel. Our Zhao family will be destroyed in his hands!"
The old prime minister glanced at the Minister of Rites, stroked his beard and said lightly.
"Brother, a man who knows the current situation is a hero. Jingbei Hou has the help of immortals, and the Regent cannot defeat him. You'd better support Jingbei Hou with me. The good days of our Zhao family are yet to come!"
The Minister of Rites saw that the old prime minister, Zhao Che, and Zhao Junhuan looked calm and seemed to have confidence in Jun Moyue, so he persuaded them.
Seeing that he was stubborn, the old prime minister rolled his eyes at him, observed the situation at hand, and ignored him.
The civil servants were divided into two factions at this time. Some of them stood with the Minister of Rites, while other officials followed the old prime minister and stood on the other side, with a clear distinction between the two sides.
