    The outer gate of the imperial city finally slowly opened, and a Forbidden Army general came out with a small group of guardsmen guarding the Imperial City. Fang Jinshi didn't know this man, but Fan Kui knew him. The Forbidden Army general came out together.  Said: "But I was scared to death. I thought you would break your promise and stop coming."

    Fan Kui hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Where is Prince Yun? Are you safe?"

    The man said: "Waiting in Ninghe Hall, we are protected by Prince Yun's army, we are safe for now."

    This is what Fan Kui and others are most concerned about. As soon as he heard that Zhao Kai was safe, Fan Kui turned around and said to Zhennan King Zhao Tuo: "There is not much time, life or death, success or failure, everything depends on the prince and you."

    Zhao Tuo drew out his saber, raised a command flag with his left hand and shouted to everyone: "Depose King Ding, establish King Yun, and revitalize the court. Soldiers, the world is in danger. At this time, everyone will come with me to face the king. Anyone who blocks it will be killed."  If you are a sycophant and a traitor, I will kill you without mercy."

    Prince Ding is the title reserved for the current crown prince of the Eastern Palace, Zhao Huan, who has not yet established a crown prince. The Yun Wang Party put forward the slogan "Abolish Prince Ding and establish Prince Yun to revitalize the dynasty" and directly rejected the crown prince of the Eastern Palace established in the imperial registration ceremony.  Call him King Ding.

    The Xinde Mansion warriors led by Yang Yizhong and other members of the Yunwang Party rushed into the gate outside the imperial city with a shout. They passed Chaowu Gate without any obstruction. Only when they reached Xuande Gate did the imperial army shout and ask.  : "Who dares to break into the forbidden area of ??the imperial city!"

    Yang Yizhong shouted: "I will wait until I meet you at Shangguan's house and ask everyone to get out of the way."

    The Imperial Army guarding Xuande Gate shouted: "It is a capital crime to break into the Imperial Palace without permission. Get out of here quickly." His words were quickly drowned in the chaos. Zhao Tuo led the Yun King's party to rush over, and the two sides faced each other.  King Yun's party came well prepared, and after killing some of the Imperial Guards, they broke into Xuande Gate. The Imperial Guards guarding the gate fled in a flurry and fled into the main entrance of Daqing Hall.

    Yang Yizhong led the people from Xinde Mansion to chase after him. The Daqing Palace was an important place for grand ceremonies and gatherings in the imperial city. Zhao Tuo shouted: "First find King Yun to meet with the officials, and then come to the Daqing Palace."

    Yang Yizhong thought about it. Without King Yun, it would be useless to occupy Daqing Palace. Daqing Palace is a large place and it is easy to disperse the troops. At this time, occupying Daqing Palace would be a waste of time. This is different from the original plan.

    So he said hello and led his subordinates to head towards Ninghe Hall. This Ninghe Hall is in the inner city of the imperial city. The walls of the palaces in the inner city are all high and wide. Some of the palaces have water channels in the middle, forming a natural  At the defensive line, Yang Yizhong led the people to chase after the Forbidden Army, walking on the narrow road with high walls on both sides to Ninghe Hall. The Forbidden Army guarding each hall and gate engaged in battle several times, but they were all quickly defeated by King Yun's party.  Fighting away, the imperial guards finally fled to the back of Ninghe Hall and closed the door at once.

    Yang Yizhong led the people a step too late and failed to follow the imperial army into the Ninghe Hall. All the dead soldiers of the Xinde Mansion rushed forward, slapped the palace door, and bumped into it with their shoulders. The Ninghe Hall gate was thick and heavy.  , completely useless.

    According to the original plan, even if the Ninghe Hall was not part of the plan, if there was a need to enter, there would be guards within the Imperial Guard who would open the door. However, at this time, the guards inside closed the door tightly, making it impossible to enter the Ninghe Hall.

    Zhao Tuo led everyone to rush to the wall and asked Yang Yizhong urgently: "Why haven't you found King Yun yet?"

    Yang Yizhong said loudly: "You can't get in through the palace gate."

    Zhao Tuo said anxiously: "Hurry up and think of a way to attack. It won't be too late, or things will change later." He didn't tell Yang Yizhong, but he also knew that the Yunwang party led everyone to attack the imperial city, which also meant a surprise attack. If they couldn't cut through the mess quickly,  To settle the important matter, the Jing'an Army is not the only army in Kaifeng City, and the Jing'an Army is not monolithic. If they cannot surround the official Song Huizong in time and force him to issue an edict to pass the throne to Zhao Kai, then wait for others to react, then  The situation is bound to fail.

    Yang Yizhong shouted: "Put your hands on your shoulders and climb over the wall." He then directed others: "Find other gates and attack them." Others had to be ordered to leave and find other gates.

    Some of the dead soldiers in front of them immediately went to the base of the wall, some squatted down and others stepped on their shoulders, preparing to take ladders to climb over the wall and enter Ninghe Palace. The high wall of Ninghe Palace was more than twice as high as usual, and there was nothing to worry about.  It is very difficult to enter the climbing area by climbing over the wall with manpower.

    Fang Jinshi and Liu Huanqing also rushed to the wall. Seeing that they had rushed to the front of Ninghe Hall, but could not rush into the hall, they were also anxious.

    This time, the preparations for the palace robbery were very inadequate, and there was no plan. There was no thought of climbing over the wall to attack the palace. Someone finally found a ladder, but the ladder was too short, so the two climbed to the top of the ladder, and everyone below them lifted it up together.  Wanting to send the two people at the top of the ladder up to the wall.

    The two people had just been sent to the top of the wall, and they stretched out their hands to climb the top of the wall. Suddenly, several forbidden soldiers jumped up on the top of the wall. They stood on the top of the wall and attacked with swords and guns. They immediately cut them into pieces and fell down.

    Yang Yizhong and Zhao Tuo ate them allStartled, as the top of the gate of Ninghe Palace burst into flames, two Forbidden Army generals held torches high, holding a thin middle-aged scribe in the middle and climbed up to the top of the gate of Ninghe Palace. Everyone looked up and saw this.  The middle-aged scribe didn't wait to stand still before shouting: "Is the person coming from below Zhao Tuo, the King of Zhennan?"

    Zhao Tuo raised his head and looked at the scribe: "Who are you?"

    The middle-aged scribe loudly said: "I am Xiong Cheshiye, a member of the Prince's East Palace. I have just won the favor of the officials tonight and been appointed as the Minister of Zhongshu. King Zhennan led his troops to invade the palace at night. What do you want to do?  ?¡±

    When Fang Jinshi saw Xiong Che suddenly appearing in the palace, he felt bad. This Xiong Che was cunning and resourceful, but he was far from being comparable to the prince Zhao Huan. He was the prince's teacher, so he naturally wanted the prince to ascend the throne.

    Xiong Che had done a good job as the prefect of Pingjiang, Huaidong, but he was suddenly recalled to Bianliang in a hurry. Naturally, it was because the prince was about to be promoted. If what he said was true, he had just been dismissed from a fifth-grade prefect by Song Huizong tonight.  As the Vice Minister of Zhongshu who was promoted to the third rank, there was no doubt that Zhao Huan would be established immediately in the emperor's mind.

    Zhao Tuo replied loudly: "The Jin soldiers outside the city are imminent in attacking the city. The courtiers have not seen the officials for several days. We are worried that the officials are in trouble and want to see them face to face to propose strategies to quell the rebellion."

    Xiong Che suddenly shouted loudly: "How brave! King Zhennan is a descendant of Taizu and guards the border areas on behalf of the official family. It is a big mistake to enter the capital without obeying the imperial edict. Yet he leads his army here late at night. Do you want to rebel?"

    Zhao Tuo said loudly: "You are talking nonsense. The official has not been seen for several days. It is very unusual at such a critical moment. I don't know if there are collaborators who have controlled the official and sealed the palace gate. Please ask the Imperial Army to open the palace."  Please let me go in to meet the official, then I can rest assured."

    Xiong Che said: "The imperial envoy is Brother Zhao, Prince Yun. Are you saying that Prince Yun is a traitor to the enemy?"

    Zhao Tuo was at a loss for words. When Fang Jinshi saw Zhao Tuo and Xiong Che arguing at this moment, he became extremely anxious. Zhao Tuo wanted to trick Xiong Che into opening the gate of Ninghe Hall and letting everyone in, but he underestimated Xiong Che even more.  In a hurry, he ran to Zhao Tuo and whispered: "King Zhennan, just say that we want to see King Yun."

    Zhao Tuo, the king of Zhennan, bent down and said, "What if he calls Prince Yun out and asks us to withdraw our troops?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "He could have called King Yun over long ago. There is no need for him to come forward. King Yun is really coming, and there is nothing we can do if we don't retreat."

    Zhao Tuo, the king of Zhennan, was still hesitating. Fang Jinshi knew that time could not be delayed, so he said loudly: "Prefect Xiong, we want to see King Yun."

    Xiong Che looked down and saw Fang Jinshi standing in the dark. He couldn't see who was speaking, but it sounded familiar to him, so Xiong Che said, "Who wants to see King Yun? Stand in the light and speak."

    Fang Jinshi said anxiously to Yang Yizhong: "Leave him alone, it's only reasonable to think of a way to attack him quickly."

    Yang Yizhong said hello, and the dead soldiers started to move again. Xiong Che saw it from a high place and said quickly: "You guys stop first, I will go and invite King Yun to come." He turned to go down, then turned back.  He said: "If you continue to act recklessly, King Yun's life will be in danger. Please think more clearly." After saying this, he went down to the wall with the two forbidden soldiers.

    The threatening tone of his words was very strong. Yang Yizhong suddenly became discouraged and ordered his men to stop climbing the wall. Zhao Tuo jumped anxiously but was unable to do so. No one expected that everyone was worshiping the god together, but the god was missing.  .

    Another group of people came over and reported to Yang Yizhong: "We can't attack the inner city and have lost many brothers."

    Yang Yizhong said anxiously: "Go find a ladder, find a sledgehammer and axe, smash the door and wall, and attack together as soon as King Yun shows up." These subordinates felt particularly embarrassed. Those who were unfamiliar with the place in the imperial city at this time, went to  I couldn't find a ladder or a hammer, but I didn't dare to disobey my order, so I had to look for it.

    Fang Jinshi said to Zhao Tuo: "This Xiong Che is just stalling for time. The longer it takes, the more danger we will be in."

    Zhao Tuo said: "What should we do? No one knows whether what he said is true or false. What if it is true?"

    Fang Jinshi said anxiously: "Regardless of whether it's true or not, we can't just wait here. We have to rush to Ninghe Hall even if we die."

    While Zhao Tuo was still hesitating, Fang Jinshi snatched his command flag and said loudly: "Prince Yun has an order. Immediately rush into the Ninghe Hall. The first person to see Prince Yun will be promoted to the third level and rewarded with a hundred taels of gold."

    He had no choice but to pass on the false order. Guang Guang had been staying in front of the Ninghe Palace for more than half an hour. If he didn't break in, his trip would fail. Everyone knew the consequences of failure.

    After hearing this, Yang Yizhong shouted loudly that there must be a brave man under the heavy reward. Although everyone could not distinguish the true from the false at this time, they all believed him with the flag in their hands, and their emotions became high again, causing the heavy weapons to smash the gate and the  On the wall, someone found another wooden ladder.

    &nbAfter all, Fang Jinshi had been to the battlefield of the Northwest Army and saw the siege. He noticed that on the right side of the Ninghe Hall gate, against the wall, there was a stone pillar more than ten feet high and as thick as a hexagonal jar, and there was a stone pillar next to it.  This stone pillar stone platform is a temporary mounting stone for horses. Fang Jinshi took a look and said: "Come on, lift this up and hit the door."

    Fortunately, this stone pillar was not buried deep in the ground, but was connected to a base and placed on the ground. A group of dead soldiers from Xinde Mansion came over and knocked down the stone pillar. Dozens of people carried it and rushed towards the gate of Ninghe Palace.  It's like a ramming car used in siege.
