Chapter 239: Succession to Prince Yongle_5

The sun was still blazing high during the daytime, but by evening a wild wind had arisen, clouds gathered densely, and the distant rumble of thunder could be heard.

Pei Qin went out for a while and immediately gathered the Imperial Guards, as well as her own troops.

Emperor Chu Wen had already passed out.

Shi Rui came out anxiously, "General Pei, should we summon some Elder Statesmen to the Palace?"

Pei Qin's eyes flickered, "Let's summon a few officials to the Palace!"

Shi Rui agreed and hurriedly made arrangements.

Jiang Gan and Shen Gu, along with several old officials, however, were unable to enter the Palace.

Xiao Guangbi had already received the news and contacted the Five-City Soldiers and Horses Troop along with personnel who infiltrated, and their standard-bearers attacked the palace gates.

Bao Xun, having defended Liaodong for many years and being quite capable in warfare, directed his troops to force the palace.
