Chapter 572: Yuan Xing broke into the palace late at night
The movement of the Duke of Wei Mansion alarmed the nearby mansions, and the people living in this area were all officials in the capital, and many officials heard that it was Hu Weiyong and Tang Shengzong who led the people to attack the Duke of Wei, and they were so frightened that they closed their doors. Today's Hu Weiyong is powerful, and Zhu Yuanzhang trusts him very much, so the officials dare not get involved.
There were also some officials who were indignant at Hu Weiyong and Tang Shengzong's blatant raising troops in the city, and wanted to enter the palace to tell Zhu Yuanzhang, but they were driven back by the troops guarding at the intersection. Moreover, among the guards on duty in the palace, there were also people arranged by Hu Weiyong, and they had already received the news that no one was allowed to enter or leave the palace before the palace gate was opened at dawn.
Yuan Xing was woken up by a rush of footsteps, and the housekeeper said loudly: "The doorman of the Duke of Wei has an urgent matter to see the master." ”
"I'll take a look." Yuan Xing comforted Xia Xiaomiao to continue to rest, put on his coat and rushed to the front yard. He and Xu Da have always had a deep friendship, and it must be important for Xu Da to send someone to ask for a meeting in the middle of the night.
Someone came to clasp their fists and salute, "The villain has disturbed General Yuan." ”
"Are you ......" Yuan Xing fixed his eyes, where is this person from Xu Da's mansion, it is clearly Mu Longsheng who has had a few acquaintances with him.
Mu Longsheng said hurriedly: "General Yuan, this matter is urgent, let the villain tell me alone." ”
"You come with me." Yuan Xing's heart tightened, and he immediately waved away the servant and brought Mu Longsheng into the study. He knew that Mu Longsheng was Ma Xiuying's shadow guard before, could it be that something happened to Ma Xiuying?
Mu Longsheng said without hesitation: "General Yuan, please quickly enter the palace to tell the emperor and the empress, Hu Weiyong and Tang Shengzong openly led the troops to attack the Wei Mansion, and now the Wei Mansion is in danger!" ”
Mu Longsheng and Ying Wei have been closely monitoring Hu Weiyong's behavior, so Hu Weiyong's sending people around to find Yang Sanniang has also fallen into the eyes and ears of Ying Wei. At that time, the shadow guard did not know the importance of this matter, and it was not until Hu Weiyong went to see Xu Da and Tang Shengzong sent troops to surround the Wei State Mansion that the shadow guard realized the seriousness of the situation.
However, the vicinity of the Duke of Wei was blocked by soldiers, and the shadow guards could not find out the situation, so they could only hear the faint sound of fighting inside, and saw that some injured soldiers were carried away.
As soon as everyone analyzed, it must be Hu Weiyong and Tang Shengzong who were attacking the Wei Mansion. Mu Longsheng rushed to the imperial city, and saw that the guards were more guarded than before, and he was driven away by the guards before he approached the palace gate, and he immediately turned around and rushed to Yuan Xing's mansion.
"I'll go into the palace to tell the emperor, what are Brother Mu's plans?" Yuan Xing's frightened expression was even worse than before, he didn't expect Hu Weiyong to blatantly attack Xu Da. His mansion and the Wei Mansion are only separated by a few people's squares, and he didn't hear any news at all, which shows how huge the power of Hu Weiyong and others is.
"The villain and the others escorted the general to the palace." Mu Longsheng looked a little worried, since Hu Weiyong dared to make a big deal about it, there must be a follow-up, he was worried that Yuan Xing would not be so easy to enter the palace even if he had a token to enter and leave the palace.
"I'll call some more brothers." Yuan Xing was also aware of this, and did not refuse Mu Longsheng's kindness.
The group galloped to the palace, and the sound of horses' hooves was particularly clear at night.
From afar, he saw a row of guards holding weapons to stop him, and one of the leaders shouted, "Who is riding a horse near the palace?" Don't get off the horse yet? ”
Yuan Xing shouted: "Xu Dewei, you don't know Lao Tzu anymore? ”
Xu Dewei arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be General Yuan, aren't you Mu Xiu today?" ”
Yuan Xing roared: "Get out of the way, I have something urgent to see the emperor." ”
Xu Dewei's eyes rolled, "The palace gate has been locked, if there is no order from the Zhongshu Province, please forgive the end and will not be able to let it go." ”
"Lao Tzu has this, can't you go in yet?" Yuan Xing took out the token. Who doesn't know that Hu Weiyong and Zhongcheng Tujie are in collusion, and it is better to let Hu Weiyong personally come here to announce the order of Zhongshu Province.
Xu Dewei said forcefully: "The last general only recognizes the order of Zhongshu Province. ”
Yuan Xing whipped it over, "How many benefits did Hu Weiyong give you, so that you would die for him." ”
"Stop them!" When Xu Dewei saw Yuan Xing making a move, he also turned his face and ordered his subordinates to stop Yuan Xing.
"General Yuan, you go in and face the saints, and we will hold them back." Mu Longsheng and the shadow guard immediately stepped forward to fight with the guards.
"Take care!" Yuan Xing did not delay, and with a whip, he went straight to the palace gate.
"Bell, bell!" The warning bell rang throughout the palace, and Ma Xiuying suddenly woke up, "What happened?" ”
"The slave doesn't know, go and see it right away." Sunshadow was shocked, and she was also startled by the sudden sound of the bell.
Ma Xiuying turned over and got out of bed, quickly got dressed, and asked repeatedly, "Give me my sleeve arrow, where is Master Daoyan?" Where is the emperor? ”
"Master Daoyan may be in the Buddha Hall, but the emperor and the slaves don't know." Since Ma Xiuying no longer cares about the concubines' bedrooms, Xunying no longer cares about which concubine's dormitory Zhu Yuanzhang is resting in.
"Pass my will and let Master Daoyan come to Kunning Palace quickly, and then send someone to pick up a few princesses, and the rest of the people are not allowed to walk at will." Ma Xiuying's expression was solemn, and the warning bell suddenly sounded in the palace, there must be something big happening, no matter what, she must first protect the safety of Daoyan and several children.
After a while, Fushun and others picked up Daoyan and Anqing's princesses, Anqing was so frightened that she shrank straight to Ma Xiuying's side, "Queen Mother, what's wrong." ”
"Don't be afraid, there's a queen mother, it's fine." Ma Xiuying comforted several princesses, looked at Dao Yan by the way, and saw that he was calm, and his mood gradually calmed down.
Xun Ying quickly came back and said, "Master, it was General Yuan who rode into the palace at night to ask to see the emperor. ”
"He doesn't have a token and still breaks into the palace! This bastard! Don't you know that horseback riding is not allowed in the palace? Ma Xiuying heard that it was not a big incident in the palace, so she relieved herself and sent a few princesses back to rest, and said to Daoyan: "I have a bad premonition that Yuan Xing suddenly entered the palace at this time, and I want to see the emperor." ”
"The poor monk will accompany you." Dao Yan was worried that Ma Xiuying would be stimulated and insisted on accompaniing.
As soon as the shoulder was ready, before Ma Xiuying sat down, the prison attendant came to deliver the decree, "The emperor has a decree, everyone is not allowed to leave the palace without a decree, and violators will be killed!" ”
Ma Xiuying raised her eyebrows, "I can't go to see the emperor in this palace?" ”
The warden accused: "The queen mother forgives the sin, the emperor's will refers to everyone, including you." ”
"Hongu knows." Ma Xiuying was not embarrassed by the prison guards and let him go.
"Master!" Xun Ying's eyes showed a look of horror, Zhu Yuanzhang grounded everyone in the palace, even Ma Xiuying, what happened?
"Dao Yan, do you know what's going on?" Ma Xiuying looked at Dao Yan a little anxiously, Zhu Yuanzhang's will was inexplicable, and it was really difficult to feel at ease.
"Don't be afraid!" Dao Yan said two words calmly, he didn't know what was going on, but no matter what happened, he would do his best to protect Ma Xiuying.
