C1 Imperial city rebellion
Although it was already night time, there were no longer many people on the streets. However, on a small street stall, two people wearing brocade robes were leisurely drinking wine. In this era, those who were able to wear embroidered gowns were either rich or noble. As for these two people, they possessed frightening backgrounds.
These two people came from the He Xi family. In the Great Wei Empire, the He Xi family held a huge amount of power. The He Xi family had fought for the Great Wei Empire for generations, and the ancestors of the He Xi family had continuously made meritorious deeds. However, in Du Zhaoyang's generation, although the He Xi family possessed great power and influence, they no longer had any real generals.
Although Du Zhengyuan was the second son of the Great Wei Empire's Hexi Family's Patriarch, Du Xiangyuan was, after all, not the Hexi Family's successor. At the same time, Du Xiangyuan did not like to fight with his brothers for the position of the Hexi Family's Patriarch. And tonight, as usual, Du Zhengyuan was drinking at this small wine stand on the street.
Drinking with Du Xiangyuan was Du Chengu, and just like him, Du Zhengyuan was also a descendant of the Hexi Family. Du ChengNu's father was the last of the He Xi family's generals who could fight well. It was said that when Du ChengNu was born, Du ChengNu's father had just won a great battle against the Great Wei Empire's arch-enemy, the Haaskata. When the Great Wei Empire's emperor found out about this, he personally gave Du Chengu his current name.
Naturally, the meaning of Du ChengNu's name was self-evident, which was to continue to fight for the Great Wei Empire, hoping that he would be able to inherit his father's inheritance. This was undoubtedly a great honor for the Hesse Family as well as for Du Chengu himself. Only two years later, his father was killed in a battle against the Haskatta.
And the position of Du Zhaonu in the Hexi family also plummeted. Although Du ChengNu had good warrior power, he was a man without any tricks. He could become a powerful general, but he couldn't become a general like his father, who could command an army to fight against the Haskattans. Du Chengnu, on the other hand, got a position as an officer in the Wei Royal City with the help of the He Xi family's relationship with the Great Wei Empire.
Although Du Zhaonu was a bold and unscrupulous person, he was like Du Zhaoyuan. In the Hexi Family, only Du Xiangyuan and Du Chengu liked to drink together. However, just as Du Xiangyuan and Du Chengu were enjoying their drinks, they suddenly saw a pair of soldiers rushing past their wine stall.
Seeing that all of them were soldiers leaving in a hurry, Du Xiangyuan asked curiously, "What is going on?" "It's already so late, why are these soldiers still moving around?" Hearing Du Zhengyuan's words, Du Chengu carefully looked at it and also doubtfully said, "Yes, it's already so late, why are these guys still running around?"
"Du Chengu, who are those people?" In the Wei Royal City, outside of the city defense army, there were also the imperial guards controlled by the Great Wei Empire's emperor. At the same time, there were also the imperial guards responsible for protecting the safety of the palace. Outside of the Wei Royal City, there were tens of thousands of Great Wei Empire's manoeuvres. Therefore, Du Xiangyuan did not know which army was the soldier that just ran over.
Du Zhaonu looked back and said, "They are the Janissaries. It must be an urgent order from His Majesty, right? " Hearing Du Chengyu's words, Du Xiangyuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
After a while, Du Xiangyuan suddenly said, "That's not right, those imperial guards are advancing in the direction of the palace. Is there a problem with the palace?" Who cares, Du Xiangyuan, this is the business of the big shots, let's just sit here and drink in peace. " "" Du Zhengnu said nonchalantly. "No, Du Chengu, I think there's a problem with the Wei Royal City. It's too dangerous to be in the streets, so let's hurry up and go back."
With that said, Du Xiangyuan pulled him back towards the Hexi family. When Du Xiangyuan and Du Chengyuan walked to the side of the house where the He Xi family lived, Du Zhengyuan saw that all of the He Xi family's soldiers were gathered at the door. After Du Zheng left, he turned to a He Xi family soldier and asked, "What's going on?"
"It's Young Master Du Zhaoyang. I don't know what happened either. However, the clan leader told us all to be on guard. If anyone wants to barge in, even the imperial guards of the Great Wei Empire have to be killed without question." What? Even the imperial guards of the Great Wei Empire had to be killed? Is the Patriarch crazy? " When he heard the words of the He Xi family soldier, Du ChengNu immediately asked in confusion.
Du ChengNu knew that in the Great Wei Empire, the imperial guards held a special position. The imperial guards of the Great Wei Empire were under the direct control of the Great Wei Empire's emperor. In the Great Wei Empire, attacking the imperial guards was a conspiracy. Du Zheng Nu, don't speak nonsense, something must have happened in the Wei Royal City, let's go in first. " After Du Xiangyuan had finished speaking, he pulled him into the courtyard of the Hexi family mansion.
Just as he walked in, Du Xiangyuan saw his own older brother, Du Xiangxiong, sitting down. Before Du Xiangyuan could say anything, Du Xiangxiong said, "Du Zhengyuan, I'm going to take the He Xi family's soldiers out. You take the other He Xi family's soldiers and stay behind."
Hearing Du Xiangxiong's words, Du Xiangyuan immediately asked in confusion, "Big brother, what happened?" Du Chenghong sighed and said, "Someone has rebelled." Rebel? "Who is it?" Du Xiangyuan asked in surprise when he heard Du Xiangxiong's words. Rebellion against any era, any dynasty, meant death penalty and war. Du Zhengyuan couldn't imagine who would have the guts to rebel in the Great Wei Empire.
"I don't know." Du Xiangxiong shook his head and said. Now that they were in the Wei Royal City, the news spread out. Some people said that the crown prince had rebelled, while others said that it was the prime minister. I wonder who was the traitor. "
"What, what is going on? "Then, what about father?" Du Xiangyuan asked doubtfully.
"I don't know. Father was recruited by the Emperor into the Imperial Palace. I heard that many clan leaders have also been summoned into the Imperial Palace." But now, these people are all trapped in the Imperial Palace, and we don't know what happened to our father either.
Upon hearing Du Xiangxiong's words, Du Xiangyuan immediately said in surprise, "No, big brother, you can't do that." Initially, Du Xiangyuan had assumed that Du Xiangxiong would bring the He Xi family's troops to battle because of the imperial edict of the Great Wei Empire or his father's order. However, now, Du Xiangyuan realized that Du Xiangxiong had brought his troops into the Imperial Palace without permission. Big brother, you were secretly leading an army to attack the palace.
However, Du Xiangxiong did not care much for Du Xiangyuan's words. After pushing him away, Du Xiangxiong impatiently said, "If we don't, what should we do? Are we just going to watch our father get arrested? " Seeing that Du Xiangyuan wanted to say something more, Du Xiangxiong pushed him away and rushed towards the imperial palace of the Great Wei Empire with the soldiers of the He Xi family.
In the Hexi Family, as the successor, Du Xiangxiong was naturally able to command the army of the He Xi Family. In the He Xi Family, Du Xiangxiong was naturally able to command the army of the He Xi Family, and Du Zhengyuan was the son of the He Xi Family Patriarch.
At this time, Du Zhaoyang walked up to Du Xiangyuan and said, "Du Zhengyuan, since Du Xiangxiong wants to go, then let him go. He is also going to save your father." Du Chengnu, what do you know? If you bring soldiers into the imperial palace of the Great Wei Empire without permission, it would be a rebellion. Right now, Du Xiangxiong does not even know who the real culprit is before rashly entering the palace.
"If we are mistaken to rebel, the He Xi family will definitely be destroyed by the Great Wei Empire." Hearing Du Xiangyuan's words, Du Chengu finally realized the severity of the problem. He anxiously asked, "Du Zhengyuan, what should we do?"
"Let's go, the two of us will follow Du Xiangxiong to the palace to see what the situation is like." After he finished speaking, Du Xiangyuan also ran in the direction of the Great Wei Empire's Imperial Palace in order to catch up to Du Xiangxiong. When he saw Du Zhengyuan's movements, he immediately followed him.
Seeing Du Chengyu and Du Chengyuan catching up, Du Xiangxiong didn't say anything to Du Xiangyuan and just continued to charge towards the imperial palace of the Great Wei Empire. On the way to the imperial palace of the Great Wei Empire, Du Xiangyuan saw corpses strewn all over the ground. Other than the soldiers of the Great Wei Empire, there were also many corpses of commoners of the Great Wei Empire. It could be seen that the chaos in the Wei Royal City this time was far beyond his imagination.
Du Zhengxiong led the He Xi family's soldiers at a fast pace, and they did not encounter any resistance on the way. Therefore, the soldiers of the He Xi family soon arrived in front of the imperial palace of the Great Wei Empire. At the same time, more than a dozen imperial guards of the Great Wei Empire were rushing towards them.
A Great Wei Empire military officer shouted loudly, "Who are you people? "What are you doing here?" "We are from the He Xi family. Let us in." Du Xiangxiong shouted loudly. Hearing Du Xiangxiong's words, the Great Wei Empire immediately whispered, "He Xi family? His Highness the Crown Prince did not say that the He Xi family has sided with us. "
