C45 The garrison made his move

"The Emperor is dead!"

These four short words stretched out for more than ten breaths. The old eunuch's lung capacity could be said to be extremely long.

The four simple words were like a thunderbolt that struck fiercely into the hearts of all the ministers present in the square.

The low sounds of discussion instantly died down, and only the sound of the wind could be heard.

The autumn wind was originally dry, but at this moment, the wind was as cold as knives, scraping against everyone's faces, causing them to feel pain.

The entire Changyang City trembled under the whipping of the Cold Wind Giant.

The temperature plummeted, and the drizzling rain gradually turned into snowflakes.

Very quickly, heavy snow began to fall from the sky above the Changyang City.

During the autumn harvest, a heavy snowfall would destroy the fruits on the ground.

However, the range of the snowflakes that fell was only in the Changyang City s, and it did not exceed the range of the city walls.

This strange scene caused the people of Changyang City to be anxious.

The officials outside the Supreme Harmony Hall had some guesses in their hearts, but as soon as they thought of that, they suppressed them.

"The Emperor is dead!"

The old eunuch shouted once again with all his might. A few young eunuchs followed the old eunuch as they whistled in unison. The emperor's passing meant that his voice rumbled throughout the palace.

Very quickly, the whistling sound reached outside the Imperial Palace, and throughout the entire Changyang City.

The Changyang City was dead silent.

Countless people, who were panicking from the falling of the snow, stood outside the room, letting the snow pile on top of their bodies.

Outside the Supreme Harmony Hall, the Minister of Civil and Martial Arts was dumbfounded.

Guo Ziyi, who had already known about this news, was not too shocked, but a tear rolled out of the corner of his eye.

He bent his knees and led the way to kneel.

Yuwen Ji's expression was extremely complex, upon seeing Guo Ziyi kneel, a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes, before following Guo Ziyi and kneeling on the ground.

The rest of the civil and military officials kneeled down one by one. Outside of the Supreme Harmony Hall, over a thousand officials were crying and looking solemn.

It didn't matter if he was sincere or not. When the emperor passed away, he would cry sorrowfully.

Outside the Changyang City, in the hundred thousand garrison military camp, Guo Nan and Fourth Prince Li Shi stood shoulder to shoulder.

They looked towards the direction of the Changyang City in the distance. Guo Nan's expression was heavy, and hot tears flowed out of the Fourth Prince's eyes.

"Is he really dead?" Li Shi murmured in a sobbing tone.

Last night, he received news from Guo Nan, and was told to quietly leave the Imperial Palace by himself to meet up at Changyang City's east gate. Initially, he was still on guard, as he did not believe Guo Nan's words. But he did not dare go to Heartbreak Palace to check, and hastily left the palace to find Guo Nan.

Until now, the illusion in his heart had finally been shattered.

"Li Shi, whether or not you can take revenge for your father, all depends on you. If your father were to allow that grandson Li Jian to ascend the throne, he would definitely be furious. It's snowing in September and you're filled with resentment. You won't doubt my words anymore, right? " Guo Nan said coldly.

"Young Master Nan, no matter what, my life was saved by you. If not for you, I would have already died in the Imperial Palace, right? The rest of the matters will entirely depend on your Guo Family. I don't ask for anything, I just hope that royal father can be at ease in the afterlife. " Li Shi wailed.

"According to the usual practice, when the Emperor dies, the imperial palace must lament for six hours. These six hours are enough for us to open up garrison in the vicinity of the imperial palace. Lin Chong had long infiltrated the imperial guards, controlling Lin Chong's family, he did not dare disobey his orders. Moreover, there was still Qin Qiong and another Dan Yuan Stage Expert guarding the palace. Even if Lin Chong wanted to do something, he wouldn't be able to do so. I believe that the current Imperial Palace has already been sealed up by the imperial guards. No one can enter or leave, and once Li Jian ascends the throne, it will be too late to do anything. " Guo Nan analyzed.

"Young Master Nan, can I borrow some experts from the Misty Rain Pavilion? Misty Rain Pavilion has a top family background, Qin Qiong that dog and another Dan Yuan Stage Expert. If the Misty Rain Pavilion were to make a move, killing them would not be a difficult task. "

"I have already asked Dugu Hong for help, he will help, but the palace is hard to defend, a total of thirty thousand imperial guards are hard to attack, it is not easy to break through the palace's gate. I can't guarantee that I'll win this battle. " Guo Nan sighed and said.

Li Shi gave Guo Nan a deep look, and promised with a resolute and ruthless expression: "Young Master Nan, if you win this battle, I will grant you the title of Shoulder King with One Word. From today onwards, Li Tangguo, our positions will be exactly the same. If you lose, your Guo Family will immediately go to the southeast, and still have the chance to fight against Li Jian. But I will swear to fight to the death, and will definitely not leave the Changyang City. "

"We'll talk about it when the time comes. Do you think that you won't be able to win with me here?" Guo Nan revealed a faint smile, "Don't forget, my eldest and youngest wives are still waiting for me in the palace to save them."

Guo Nan turned around and saw the black armored garrison lined up in an orderly fashion on the thousand mu of flat land, completely motionless, waiting for his orders.

The garrison was in charge, but unlike the Guo Family's armies, the hundred thousand garrison outside the Changyang City listened to the emperor. If the Guo Family's orders and the emperor's orders went against each other, the majority of the people in the garrison would listen to the emperor's orders.

Guo Nan took a deep breath, took in a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "All soldiers, perhaps you all still do not know, that the Emperor was poisoned to death last night, filled with grievances and grievances. The snow in Changyang City is all the result of His Majesty's grievances!"

Hearing that, the garrison warriors were stunned. They looked at each other. To be poisoned to death?

Crown Prince Li Jian plotted to usurp the throne, and took the chance to control the big and small officials of the Changyang City in the palace. You are both members of the Changyang City, maybe your friends and elders are all facing Li Jian's blade! Li Jian dared to even kill His Majesty, what else could he not do? "

"Maybe you all don't believe me, but His Highness the Fourth Prince is also here, so his words are definitely true."

Guo Nan took half a step back, allowing Li Shi to sit in front of the stage.

The tears on Li Shi's face had yet to dry as he said in a sorrowful voice, "Soldiers, every word that Guo Nan has said is true. There are many dangers within the Imperial Palace and I cannot predict that either. I only wish that when we rush to the Imperial Palace, if Li Jian has already ascended the throne, all the soldiers can throw out Chen Nian who are loyal to the Emperor, while my royal father is still here, you all must follow him loyally. But Li Jian, even if he ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, he is still the murderer of his father.

"Everything, when we attack the Imperial Palace, will be spread throughout the world, and all soldiers will follow me to suppress Li Jian. After we succeed, we will get ten times the pay! If you kill an enemy, you will be rewarded with 100 gold! "

There would definitely be brave men under the high reward. Li Shi stirred his fighting spirit, and a huge army of a hundred thousand started to lead the Changyang City.

Inside Changyang City, it was still snowing heavily, the snow in the sky above the imperial palace was still blowing. The thousands of officers kneeling on the ground outside the Supreme Harmony Hall were soaked with tears, their bodies covered in snow, turning them into snowmen. Within the entire palace, those kneeling on the ground were everywhere, be it palace maids, guards, eunuchs, descendants of the royal family, or concubines of the emperors. All of them knelt outside, facing the direction of the Supreme Harmony Palace.

The citizens of Changyang City also kneeled down spontaneously, and the entire city fell into silence.

The six hours did not last long, time flowed by, and the hundred thousand garrison s were finally called out of Changyang City.

The city gates were shut tight.

"I am Fourth Prince Li Shi. Open the gate and let us in!"

"I am Guo Nan, and you are still not opening the door?"

Li Shi and Guo Nan called out to each other in front of the door, but the guards belonging to the city that belonged to the Pan Clan were all at home today, not on duty. The city guards stationed on the city walls were part of the Qin family!

What welcomed Li Shi and his group were rows and rows of heavy crossbow arrows!

"Soldiers, listen up! Attack the city!" "If I die in battle, I will give my family 100 gold taels!"

A cold wind blew, the battle drums sounded, and a hundred thousand garrison s carrying city siege equipment fearlessly charged towards the eastern gate of Changyang City.
