Chapter 250: I'd rather die in battle than surrender
The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study
The Emperor of the Apocalypse held the fold in his hand and squinted his eyes slightly for a long time, and then slowly closed his eyes and pondered. The pen, the fun, the pavilion www.biquge.info just like this goes on and on, I don't know how many times I have seen it? But he remained silent.
At this moment, after being summoned by the little eunuch, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly came to the imperial study.
"The old slave sees the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live, long live......"
The Emperor of the Apocalypse opened his eyes at this time, without a trace of expression on his face, and pointed to the folds on the table: "Have you seen the folds of Liaodong?" ”
"If you go back to the emperor, the old slave has already seen it."
"Hmmm! Now that you've seen it, can you tell me if you have a solution? The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Wei Zhongxian with a begging gaze.
Wei Zhongxian lowered his head and bent down, and said with a little thought: "Yuan Chonghuan said that Tanma sent back the news, the Nu Chief Emperor Taiji is preparing grain and grass, and Houjin Tanma scouts often appear in the area of the Daling River. The old slave thought that the city guards would stick to the city and pay attention to the movements of Houjin at any time, and once Houjin sent troops, he would quickly send 800 li to the Beijing division urgently, so that the city guards of the Ningjin defense line would be ready to support each other at any time. And the emperor selected elite soldiers in the capital to wait for him, and once he sent troops to support Ning Jin, he immediately sent troops to support Ning Jin. ”
"Hmmm! Ning Jin is the Ming Dynasty and the Houjin Portal, once it is broken, I don't know how many people suffer, and the soldiers of the Nine Sides will rather die in battle, never surrender, and swear to defend the Ming Portal, everything will be done according to what Wei Banban said, and he will pass the decree to You Shilu, Mangui, and Zhao to teach, so that they can wait and be ready to support at any time. ”
"The old slave respects the will, but ......" Wei Zhongxian looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse frowned slightly: "Wei Companion is unspeakable?" ”
Wei Zhongxian bowed down and saluted: "Your Majesty, if you don't discuss this matter with those sour Confucians in the court, it is inevitable that they will play again, why don't you call them here and see what they say?" ”
"Hmmm! Wei Banban was reasonable, and told them to go to court tomorrow, right! Don't forget to tell Ling Yun that he will also participate tomorrow morning. ”
"The old slave obeys the ......"
The sun slanted to the west, gradually setting down the mountain, the last rays of the sun shone on the earth, the houses and the earth were illuminated red, and the fire clouds on the horizon seemed to burn.
Ling Yun and his party galloped on horseback, and did not return to the mansion until the sun completely set.
Before entering the door, the housekeeper who guarded the door hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Master, His Royal Highness King Xin has come down......
Ling Yun shook his hand and threw the reins of the horse in his hand to the family, and asked as he walked, "Oh! Where is His Royal Highness King Shin now? ”
"Master Hui, I'm waiting in the hall now."
In the hall, Zhu Youzhen didn't know how many cups he had changed just because of the tea, but in short, he sat on the Taishi chair and poured tea all over his stomach.
Ling Yun strode all the way to the hall and prepared to give a salute as soon as he saw Zhu Youzhen.
Zhu Youzhen stood up, raised his hand to support Ling Yun's arm and said, "Where did you run this day?" This king has been waiting for you for more than an hour! ”
"Let His Highness wait for a long time, and accompany his family out hunting and playing. His Royal Highness came to the cold house, but Wei Zhongxian made a move? Ling Yun asked with a puzzled expression.
Zhu Youzhen smiled, waved his hand and said: "It's not that Wei Zhongxian has made a move, but that the Houjin Emperor Taiji is rectifying the soldiers, horses, grain and grass, and it seems that there is a suspicion of Ning Jinzhi." ”
"What? Huang Taiji sent troops? Does the emperor know about this? Ling Yun asked Zhu Youzhen with a worried face.
"Yuan Chonghuan sent it urgently for eight hundred miles, and the imperial brother is also worried about this matter, you have to be prepared, maybe the Flying Eagle Guard is on the list."
"Since there is going to be a war, the Flying Eagle Guard will definitely bear the brunt of the battle and share the emperor's worries." As he spoke, Ling Yun bowed in the direction of the Forbidden City.
Before Zhu Youzhen could speak, a family member ran in from outside, panting and reporting to Ling Yun: "Master, there is a eunuch outside." ”
As soon as he heard the edict of the eunuch, after Ling Yun and Zhu Youzhen glanced at each other, Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly: "Since there are people from the palace, then the king will avoid it first." ”
Ling Yun nodded to Zhu Youzhen before waving his hand at Jiading: "Please ......."
There was not much time, so the family took the eunuch into the hall.
Ling Yun was just about to kneel to receive the holy decree, but the eunuch who passed the decree smiled slightly, raised his hand to stop Ling Yun: "The emperor said it, it's just a message, there is no need to kneel." ”
Only then did Ling Yun bow his hand in the direction of the Forbidden City: "Thank you Emperor Longen!" ”
"Commander Ling, the emperor announced that you will enter the palace at three o'clock tomorrow." The eunuch said in a strange way.
Although Ling Yun didn't understand why the emperor would announce him into the palace, he already vaguely felt that announcing him into the palace must be related to the Houjin Emperor Taiji.
"There is a father-in-law...... "After speaking, Ling Yun reached into his arms and took out a piece of gold ingots and handed it to the eunuch who passed the decree.
The eunuch took the gold ingots handed over by Ling Yun, put them into his arms unconsciously, looked around, and then came to Ling Yun's side and whispered: "Tomorrow, the emperor may let you go on the expedition, if you don't want to go on the expedition, just pretend to be sick for a few months, and someone will naturally go on the expedition for you." ”
Ling Yun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Thank you father-in-law for reminding me, Ling is grateful!" ”
"Commander Ling is busy first, and the miscellaneous family will return to the palace first to hand over the decree!" As soon as the eunuch arched his hand at Ling Yun, he turned around and left.
Ling Yun sent the eunuch out of the gate, and then returned to the hall.
At this time, Zhu Youzhen had already walked out from behind the screen and sat on the Taishi chair waiting. Looking at Ling Yun who walked into the hall, Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid that among the soldiers and horses in this expedition, the Flying Eagle Guard is indispensable!" It's better to pretend to be sick as the eunuch said! ”
Ling Yun raised his hand and interrupted Zhu Youzhen's words: "Your Highness's words are wrong! The country is in danger, and the man should hold the spear in his hand. If everyone escapes, then I'm going to be so angry that I can't hold my head up by the skin of the Houjin wild boar. ”
After listening to Ling Yun's words, Zhu Youzhen looked slightly embarrassed. However, for Ling Yun's loyalty, Zhu Youzhen has a new understanding.
"Xiao Yunzi is right, the country is in danger, and the man should hold a spear. It's just that I'm a little reluctant to let you go! When Zhu Youzhen spoke, his face was full of enthusiasm, and he couldn't wait to go with Ling Yun.
The two chatted like this, and it wasn't until night fell that Zhu Youzhen left with a few guards.
There was no word until the next morning, when the weather in the fourth month of the lunar calendar was already bright at three o'clock.
Outside the noon gate
At the beginning of the rising sun, hundreds of civil and military officials were waiting outside the noon gate, gathering with each other to chat and discuss what the emperor summoned to the court.
As soon as the hour came, the soldiers guarding the palace gate opened the palace gate and put the civil and military officials into the palace.
After hundreds of officials entered the palace, Ling Yun came to the noon gate.
Looking at the palace gate, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty had already entered the palace one after another, but only Ling Yun was not in a hurry, and walked towards the palace gate with his hands behind his back.
Taihe Temple
The ministers of civil and military affairs stood in shifts, while the Emperor of the Apocalypse sat on the dragon chair, his eyes slightly narrowed, quietly watching the ministers of civil and military affairs.
It is rare that the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who likes carpenter's work, took the initiative to summon the minister of civil and military affairs, which made the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty confused.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse glanced around the court, but did not see Ling Yun's figure, which made the Emperor of the Apocalypse frown slightly.
The civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty knelt on the ground and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live......"
"Zhong Aiqing is ......"
When the Manchu Dynasty civil and military stood up, a person hurriedly ran in from outside, and after a closer look, the person who came down was none other than the Flying Eagle Guard's commander Ling.
Ling Yun ran out of breath, bent down and bowed forward, kneeling on the ground panting and exhaling: "Humble ...... Ah, that's it...... Humble ......"
Seeing that Ling Yun had arrived, the Emperor of the Apocalypse showed a hint of a smile, and before Ling Yun finished his visit, the Emperor of the Apocalypse raised his hand and said, "Flat ......"
"Emperor Xie Longen......"
Ling Yun's actions after standing up caused the Manchu Dynasty to laugh. Because Ling Yun was in the court for the first time, he didn't know where he should stand, which made Ling Yun embarrassed for a while.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled: "Commander Ling first went to the court, and he stood at the front first. ”
Instead, the Emperor of the Apocalypse sat up straight and said to the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu: "Everyone, Aiqing, Yuan Chonghuan sent an expedited ...... for eight hundred miles."
Emperor Tianqi told everything he and Wei Zhongxian said to the Manchu civil and military forces, but he didn't say that it was arranged by Wei Zhongxian.
"The Emperor's ......"
Seeing that no one objected, the Emperor of the Apocalypse asked, "Which guard do you think Aiqing should send to support Ning Jin?" ”
Among the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, Zhou Daodeng, a scholar of Dongge University, was in his mind. has been pretending to be a grandson for several days, and finally found an opportunity to eradicate Ling Yun, that is, to kill people with a knife.
Just when the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were thinking, Zhou Daodeng stood up and bowed to the Emperor of the Apocalypse: "Your Majesty, the ministers are raising the Flying Eagle Guard to command the envoy and Lu Xiangsheng, the prefect of the Daimyo Mansion, as reinforcements this time. (I don't know if Lu Xiangsheng can check it, the number of words is limited, so I won't list it in detail)
When Ling Yun heard Lu Xiangsheng's name, an inexplicable sense of excitement came to his heart. Lu Xiangsheng, this name is too familiar, although I don't know much about the history of the late Ming Dynasty, but a national hero like Lu Xiangsheng is very familiar.
Zhou Daodeng did this not to say how broad-minded he was, but that Lu Xiangsheng was upright, never ganged up with them, and had an elite team of hundreds of people under his command. This made him envious, jealous and hateful. It just so happens that Ling Yun and he also have a pimple that they can't open, just killing two birds with one stone, maybe they can use Huang Taiji's hand to eradicate these two henchmen, no matter how elite the families of Feiyingwei and Lu Xiangsheng are, but they must have a limited number of people, and it is very likely that they will never return.
The Donglin Party, who was standing on top of the court, instantly understood Zhou Daodeng's thoughts as soon as they heard Zhou Dengdeng's words, and they saluted the Emperor of the Apocalypse: "The ministers seconded the proposal......
And the Emperor of the Apocalypse and Wei Zhongxian looked at the civil and military ministers above the court, and when they looked at Zhou Daodeng, a trace of coldness flashed in their eyes.
Now, the entire Donglin Party has seconded the proposal, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse is also difficult to ride a tiger.
To be honest, let Ling Yun go to Liaodong, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was really reluctant. But at this point, I can only ask Ling Yun.
"Ling Aiqing, are you willing to go to Ningjin with Lu Xiangsheng to support?"
Although Ling Yun knew in his heart that Zhou Dao Dengbao didn't have any good intentions? But curiosity led to Ling Yun's desire to go to Liaodong to see it.
Without any hesitation, Ling Yun saluted the Emperor of the Apocalypse: "I am willing to go!" ”
After listening to this, the Emperor of the Apocalypse closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before turning his head to Wei Zhongxian, who was standing aside, and said: "Send a message to Lu Xiangsheng, the prefect of the Daimyo Mansion, and ask him to bring his family to prepare and wait for the will, and once Yuan Chonghuan comes with the news, he will immediately rush to Ningjin to support." ”
"The old slave obeys the ......"
"Ling Aiqing will go to the imperial study with me, if there is nothing else, retire from the court!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse said coldly.
"If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat from......" Wei Zhongxian shouted with a long voice.
When Zhou Daodeng looked at Emperor Apocalypse and Wei Zhongxian from the corner of his eye, he began to regret it in his heart, he just wanted to eradicate Ling Yun and Lu Xiangsheng. didn't take into account the thoughts of the Emperor of the Apocalypse and Wei Zhongxian, and now seeing the faces of the two, this made Zhou Daodeng's intestines a little blue.
When following the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to leave the Taihe Palace, Zhou Daodeng sighed secretly in his heart: "Alas...... It looks like I'm going to pretend to be a grandson again in the future......"
