The atmosphere in the capital city is a little different from before.
News of the mobilization of troops and horses from the northern suburbs camp has spread. The soldiers guarding the city gates, as if they were faced with a formidable enemy, closed the nine gates early before the hour, and galloped out of the city on fast horses, heading straight for the 12th Regiment Camp. station, and then groups of soldiers were pulled out from the palace, and all the troops and horses from the five cities who were originally guarding the city gate were rushed into the city. All the streets and alleys of the capital were blocked, and no one was allowed to enter or exit. No matter the common people or officials, they were Rush into the home and do not go out without permission.
Compared with the tense and solemn situation in the city, the palace was already in a state of chaos. Eunuchs were everywhere, running around in panic. Some timid eunuchs quietly picked up the gold and silver they had accumulated over the years. , and ran out of the palace to hide through various unknown secret doors. The eunuchs who escaped without knowing the door also quietly stole a few valuable furnishings from various palaces and halls, and found a remote and uninhabited garden or back yard. The mountain is hidden.
In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Houcong was pacing back and forth anxiously. His tears had not stopped since he heard the bad news that the camp in the northern suburbs was mobilizing troops.
After all, he is just a twelve-year-old child. No matter how sophisticated he looks, he is actually far worse than those old foxes who have been wallowing in the court and experienced countless storms. It can be seen just from his consecutive stupid moves after taking the throne. The little emperor has great ambitions for power, but his ability to grasp power is a bit weak, otherwise he would not have been in trouble today and was attacked by soldiers.
"Why hasn't Miao Kui, the chief seal of the Royal Horse Supervisor, come yet? Has he betrayed me too?" Zhu Houcong stopped and stared at the kneeling eunuch in the palace with red eyes, as if he was crazy.
"It'sit's coming soon. Don't worry, Your Majesty. I've sent ten groups of people to urge you"
"Then send another group of people to urge you! Go quickly!"
"yes."
As soon as he finished speaking, a hurried figure knelt outside the high threshold outside the palace door.
"Old slave, Miao Kui, the eunuch in charge of the Royal Horse Supervisor, has been ordered to pay homage to Your Majesty."
Zhu Houcong was overjoyed and took two steps forward as if he had met a savior. Then he suddenly stopped and stared at Miao Kui in surprise. He carefully examined the expression on Miao Kui's face and did not miss the slightest change.
Miao Kui knelt outside the threshold with his head bowed, waiting uneasily for Zhu Houcong to speak. There was no movement for a long time, and cold sweat dropped on the scarlet carpet.
I don't know how long it took, Zhu Houcong asked quietly: "Miao Kui, since the beginning of the late Emperor Hongzhi, you have been favored and favored by the Tian family. The late emperor once sent you to Xuanfu to guard the border and supervise the army. You did not disappoint the late emperor. In those years, You have indeed fought several good battles, and in terms of bravery, you can even carry a cauldron. One is worth a hundred. Therefore, Emperor Zhengde called you back to the capital after executing Liu Jin, and immediately handed you the position of the Royal Horse Supervisor. Miao Kui, I ask you, how is the Tian family treating you?"
Miao Kui touched his head to the ground and said loudly: "The emperor's kindness is so great that I can only repay it with death."
"Are you really still loyal to the Heavenly Family and to me?"
"I swear to God!"
"Even if the rebels are approaching the city now, the country will be in danger as if it were laying eggs, and it will collapse at the first touch?"
"I am a royal slave in life, and I am a royal ghost soldier in death!"
Miao Kui's statement was very firm, and Zhu Houcong finally breathed a sigh of relief. He sat weakly on the soft couch and stared at Miao Kui in a daze, tears flowing out again.
"Since I came to the throne, everything I have done is worthy of my ancestors and worthy of the country. Why did the courtiers misunderstand me, and the powerful officials usurped the throne and plotted against me? Where did I go wrong?"
As he spoke, Zhu Houxun burst into tears again.
Miao Kui was at a loss and had no choice but to kowtow and say, "I don't understand state affairs, but I am only loyal and will live and die with Your Majesty."
"When we are surrounded by enemies, you are the only loyal person, Miao Kui. But if you can survive this calamity, I will grant you the position of Superintendent of Ceremonies and make you the king of the county. In the Song Dynasty, the eunuch Tong Guan could be the king." , I can also seal it."
Miao Kui was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed: "Old slave, thank you for your kindness."
"How many of the capital's guards are left in the city?"
"The main defense force of the capital is the Twelve Regiment Battalions. However, at this time, the Liaodong Frontier Army was divided into 30,000 cavalry and set up a sniper formation camp outside the city. The soldiers in the regiment camp have been idle for a long time. Although the number is large, according to Lao Nu, Come, the outcome is still uncertain, so the main force in the capital city is only the Tengxiang Four Guards under the jurisdiction of Yumajian, including the Warrior Camp and the Banner Camp, with a total of more than 20,000 people. This is the only elite division in the capital city "
The more Zhu Houcong listened, the more disappointed he became. His face turned red quickly and he said angrily: "Does the capital of the Ming Dynasty only have 20,000 soldiers and horses?"
Miao Kui smiled bitterly and said: "Of course there are more than 20,000 soldiers and horses. It's just that according to the ancestral system, regimental camps are not stationed in the city. Now they are occupied by Liao."A group of people carrying torches slowly walked out of the Zhimen corridor. The leader was wearing a bright red flying fish brocade robe, with a spring breeze-like smile on his dark bearded face. This person was Qin Kan's confidant Li Er. .
The four Tengxiang guards who were on duty at Xizhi Gate were wary, and they all responded with their guns. A member of the Hundred Households drew his sword and shouted: "Stop those who come, no one is allowed to approach the important city gate!"
As if Li Erhun didn't hear anything, he still walked into the corridor and said with a smile: "You even dare to block our way, are you fucking blind? Even the adults in your family may not have such courage, you Are you tired of living in a small household?"
"Stop! If you go further, don't blame the general for offending!" Baihu was very vigilant and was not bluffed at all.
Li Er stopped, took out a roll of bright yellow silk cloth from his arms and handed it forward, saying: "According to the imperial edict, we must go out of the city. This is the imperial edict."
Baihu was shocked and hurriedly took it and looked under the torch. After a while, Baihu showed an increasingly vigilant look. His right hand was pressed on the handle of the knife at his waist and he said in a deep voice: "This imperial edict is covered with the imperial seal of the emperor." And the seal of the Supervisor of Ceremonies"
Li Er raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "What? You don't recognize the Emperor's national seal and the seal of the Supervisor of Ceremonies?"
Baihu sneered: "Normally, I dare not deny it, but today is different. The decree has already been announced in the palace. Today, no one entering or leaving the nine gates of the capital will recognize the national seal and the seal of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. The soldiers of the nine gates will only recognize the private seal of the emperor. Otherwise, These are all false edicts. What's more important is that you are wearing Feiyu uniforms, so you are obviously a member of the Jin Yiwei. The emperor issued an edict two hours ago that no Jin Yiwei in the city is allowed to step out of Beizhen Fusi. Violators will be punished as treason. Come here and capture these traitors!"
"Kill!" Countless spears stabbed Li Er without hesitation.
The faces of all the Jin Yiwei changed and they took a few steps back. Li Er laughed and said, "The little emperor is not that stupid. He is guarding us Jin Yiwei so early. Brothers, follow me and seize Xizhimen!"
"Kill¡ª¡ª" Hundreds of Jinyi captains drew their swords out of their sheaths at the same time and rushed towards the soldiers of the Fourth Guard Camp without any hesitation. There was chaos in the city gate corridor.
Gongs sounded from all directions, and the killing in the corridor attracted countless soldiers defending the city. A stream of black people mercilessly rolled towards Li Er and the others.
At this moment, a shrill scream suddenly came from the sky, and a rocket rocketed upward, exploding a blood-red firework in mid-air.
Everyone¡¯s heart sank. The afterimages of the fireworks were still in everyone¡¯s eyes, and they could only hear a flood of killing sounds coming from outside the city gate.
Li Er was overjoyed and shouted anxiously: "Separate ten people to block the corridor, while the rest kill the enemies in front of you and open the city gate to welcome the Liaodong border troops into the city!" (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com
