"Open the city gate quickly, and stop them."
The King of Zhennan ordered his men to stop these princes and guards. The city gates were slowly opening, and the people outside were killing more vigorously. They knew that if the King of Zhennan went out, he would definitely win this political struggle. These palace guards were all die-hard followers of His Majesty the King. When the King of Zhennan came back, they would be lucky to have an intact body.
Therefore, at this moment, they must fight forward with all their might. Only in this way can they stop the King of Zhennan. Unfortunately, the guards at the city gate have already rebelled. These people are not fools. After His Majesty the King lost the support of the temple, he no longer has an advantage across the country. The King of Zhennan only needs to cross this city gate to command most of the troops in the country. But what does His Majesty the King have in his hands?
Just as the melee broke out at the city gate, Qian Ping and some of his men were standing on a small hill about ten miles away from the city gate, watching the excitement. They had known the situation in the city for a long time. According to their thinking, the riot would probably take two days to break out, but they didn't expect it to break out that night. It seemed that both the King and the Prince of Zhennan had tolerated each other to the limit, and as long as there was a small spark, both sides would start to explode immediately.
"Luckily, most of us evacuated in advance. Wang Cheng is a powder keg right now. If we hadn't evacuated, he would have definitely harmed our people. Is it okay to seize the vault over there?"
Qian Ping said with some concern that although other units had already made preparations, Zhidaobao had not transported the money out of the vault. According to them, the safest place nearby was their vault. If they transported the money to other places, in case there were rebel soldiers everywhere outside the city, they would not be able to protect it.
"Don't worry, sir. The treasury is openly located behind the Zhidaobao Bank, but it's actually just an empty shell. We've bought several other houses in the city, and the underground has been hollowed out. We usually send money there bit by bit. Now more than 90% of the things are there. Even if someone breaks into the Zhidaobao Bank, they won't be able to take much. Moreover, with the capabilities of our Tang Dynasty, even if there are losses, whoever gains control of Nanzhao will have to pay for it."
Hu San was in charge of this matter, so he knew it very well. Those houses looked no different from ordinary people's houses, and they were usually very cautious in doing things. Even if they were targeted, there were still hundreds of guards watching them, and ordinary people could not get in at all. What's more, the name of the Tang Dynasty was there. When Li Xiang was here before, he did things so ostentatiously, how many people dared to offend the Tang Dynasty?
Half an incense stick of time ago, they received news from people in the city that as long as the Tang Dynasty flag was hung at the gate, no matter which side the rebels on the road belonged to, they would basically not be harmed at all. It was almost the same as we expected. These people were at most causing internal rebellion, but no matter who won or lost, no one dared to cause trouble for the Tang Dynasty.
"Did anyone close to the king send a message?"
Qian Ping suddenly thought of another thing. As long as the Prince of Zhennan ran out of the royal city, His Majesty the King would be in a weak position. If he still wanted to turn the tide, or if he still wanted to stay alive, he could only rely on Li Xiang's help. After all, he was nominally the king of Nanzhao, and some people believed that the suzerain state would also do its best to help the vassal state quell the rebellion.
"Someone just left on a fast horse, and they split into three groups. They might be afraid that the Prince of Zhennan might intercept them on the road. I have someone follow one of them and promise to make sure he reaches Sichuan."
Long Jiu just came back from the side, and he went to do this. We can't do this without a reason. Since they asked us for help, we must have a personal letter from His Majesty the King. We didn't come here casually. His Majesty the King asked us to stabilize the situation, so how can we not come?
"That's foolproof. The three of us shouldn't just sit here and watch the fun. We'd better go deeper and see where the commotion isn't severe enough. If we can, we'd better add fuel to the fire. No one wants to stay here forever. After things here are over, it's better for us to stay in the capital."
Qian Ping finally expressed his true thoughts. No matter whether he had made any achievements here, he was not the center of rule after all. It was best to stay by Li Xiang's side, so things here had to be ended as soon as possible.
Long Jiu and Hu San did not have such an idea. They were exchanged from the system. As long as it was Li Xiang's order, they would try their best to complete it, and there would be no other changes. But in the current situation, they had to fan the flames and let the two major forces of Nanzhao fight to the death. Only if they bleed more can we take over here better.
The three of them exchanged opinions and immediately separated from here. They still had a lot of things to do next, and they were worried that the fire would not burn strongly enough.
Nanzhao Palace
Queen Mother Wang was still pacing anxiously. There were shouts and cries of killing outside. She had already sent out several groups of people, but apart from these dozens of guards, she didn't have many people who could fight. Those eunuchs were of no use after they went out, and now even Eunuch Qu hasn't come back since he went out.
"Your Majesty, I can't get out. The palace gate is on fire. There's no way out."
Another group of people came back. There are four gates in the palace, and the Queen Mother also sent out four groups of people, but now the last group of people has also come back. In fact, it is not that they can't get out, but these people know that the palace is the safest place now. If they go outside to cause trouble, they will die countless times. Look at the situation outside, who would dare to go out and cause trouble?
The Queen Mother was not familiar with these people's thoughts, so she was extremely anxious at the moment. She was always afraid that her little son would die in this chaotic army, so the Queen Mother tidied her clothes and asked her subordinates to escort her to find the king.
After hearing this, his men quickly prepared to set off. As long as they did not leave the palace, you could do whatever you wanted. At least it was safe here.
