The ministers thought more, and what they saw was not simply a question and an answer. The prince of the pen www.biquge.info rebellion, his position as the prince is definitely going to be deposed, and now the emperor is in front of the ministers, and he asks the king with military affairs, which means that it is self-evident. After this battle, the ministers in the court will face the fate of being purged again, the prince's comrades will definitely be kicked out of the court, King Fu has sprung up, faintly standing under the emperor, there are signs of inheriting the position of the prince, these ministers, in addition to being purged out, can stay in the court, but also have to think about it, consider how to stand up again, in order to keep the official position and the glory of the family.

The smile on the emperor's face deepened, he covered his mouth and coughed violently a few times, panting and laughing: "No disease, tell me your opinion." ”

The fat man carefully supported the emperor, and then pointed to the encirclement under the mountain and said: "The practice of the two armies of Long Wu and Long Xiang to surround the prince's rebels is right, but ...... Once the enemy is encircled, then the forces have been dispersed, so that although the rebels are attacked on all sides, the pressure on each side is much smaller, it seems that the encirclement is like Mount Tai pressing the top, unstoppable, but in fact it is the weakest, the rebels can even choose one at will to break through, no need to work hard at all. ”

"Oh? According to what you said, it is not advisable to surround the rebels at all, Feng Qiudao and Han Dashi have led the troops for many years and are well versed in the art of war, don't they know? But they still chose to surround and be free of disease, what do you say these two generals are intending to? ”

The fat man thought for a while and said with a smile: "If Erchen is the general who leads the troops, he may make the same choice as them, because ...... The retainers had no other choice, if they did not encircle, if the rebels wanted to escape, they would still run, and even more conveniently, and there was ......"

"What else?" The emperor looked at the fat man and said with a smile.

The fat man met the eyes of the ministers and said with some embarrassment: "Actually, the ministers have been suspecting that the prince is rebelling, is the strength just like this?" With the strength of these tens of thousands of people, if it is said that he can usurp the throne as the emperor, it is inevitably a bit of a child's play, the prince is not a child, and he will never make such a rash decision, so the sons faintly feel that the prince should still have a backhand, maybe the two generals also thought of it, they did not dare to transfer their troops too far away from this Shenlie Mountain, that is, they were ready to guard against the prince's other tricks, so the two generals used their troops to inevitably be a little restrained...... Father, the son's shallowness, I don't know if it's right or not......"

The emperor laughed loudly a few times, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a shout from the winding mountain road: "I have an urgent military situation to meet the emperor!" Don't stop me! ”

Everyone frowned and looked over, but saw a middle-aged man dressed in black with a worried expression, sweating profusely and shouting at the forbidden soldiers who stopped him, and from time to time he was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

"Let him come." The emperor said lightly.

The middle-aged man lifted the forbidden soldiers, walked quickly to the emperor, knelt down and said, "Long live the villain!" The emperor, the villain is a subordinate of Lord Ren Xiaoyao in the capital, and Lord Ren sent the villain to report the news, and there is an urgent military desire to report to the emperor! ”

As he spoke, he also took out a woodcarved pocket waist card and handed it to prove his identity.

When the emperor heard this, his heart tightened: "What an urgent military situation, say!" ”

"Yes. Your Majesty, Lord Ren has just received the news that there are two rebel armies under the crown prince, one of which is engaged in battle with the army at the foot of the mountain, and there is an army of about 20,000 men and horses, which is ambushed at the northern foot of Shenlie Mountain, ready to go straight to the Temple of Heaven on the top of the mountain, and capture or ...... Kill! Lord Ren asked the emperor and all the adults to go down the mountain quickly and join the two armies of Longwu and Longxiang to ensure safety. In addition, Lord Ren made a decision on the spot and sent an order to Dong Cheng's troops on the north bank of the Yangtze River, ordering them to quickly cross the river and go up the mountain to annihilate the last rebel army, the prince. ”

"What?" Including the emperor, all the people in the Temple of Heaven Square were taken aback.

"This news was delivered at a very timely time!" The emperor shouted loudly in a deep voice: "The forbidden army listens to the order, faces the north of the square and forms a formation, is on guard at any time, ready to resist the rebels, all Aiqing, quickly follow me down the mountain, send people down the mountain to spread my will, and order Feng Qiudao's department to move closer to me, and Han Dashi's department to continue to kill the rebels!" ”

In front of the Prince's Mansion in the capital.

When Ren Xiaoyao led 2,000 city defense troops and hundreds of shadow subordinates, swaggering through the city like a model on a collective catwalk, swaggering to the front of the prince's mansion, Vincent found that the matter of collecting evidence and raiding the house was far more complicated than he expected.

- Actually, it's not complicated, it's very simple, the door of the prince's mansion is closed, and you can't open it no matter how you call it, as if it's empty inside.

"My lord, what should I do?" Vinson's face was a little ugly.

He didn't have the experience of raiding the house, but the experience of raiding the house and eating behind closed doors was the first time, and he couldn't help but feel a little humiliated, this situation was like the minions in the prince's mansion treated them as more than 2,000 called flowers, and they simply didn't even say hello, so they coldly turned them away, Wen Sen was very angry now, he felt that the people in the prince's mansion were not friendly enough, and he was a little provocative.

Ren Xiaoyao's eyes were deep, and he touched his chin and groaned: "...... The door of the Prince's Mansion is very good-looking, hey, Lao Wen, do you know which master was asked to make this door? I'll also make a fan to catch up with Ming'er, and look at it, this red-bottomed willow wood, how majestic, how festive, the copper nails nailed on it, ho, shiny, the light can be seen, tsk, good craftsmanship......"

Vinson broke out in a cold sweat.

We dared to call the door for a long time, but your old man's mind rested on the broken door, no wonder you haven't been angry, it turns out that you are not distracted at all......

"Your Excellency!" Wen Sen let out a shout at Ren Yao, waking up Lord Ren who was admiring the gate of the Prince's Mansion.

"Huh? What's up? Ren Xiaoyao looked around blankly as if he had just had a dream.

Looking at the closed door of the Prince's Mansion, Ren Xiaoyao was taken aback: "Why is the door still closed?" ”

Vinson's head was full of black lines: "Your Excellency...... The door, it was always closed. ”

"Go scream!" Ren Xiaoyao was very dissatisfied with this negative work attitude.

Vinson continued with black lines: "...... My lord, I've called it, I've called it many times, but the people inside just won't open it. ”

Co-author: You've been fuguing all the time?

Ren was free for a moment, and then he was furious: "They dare to keep us out? Don't want to die? Lao Tzu is a garrison general! ”

Vincent finally breathed a sigh of relief, Lord Ren's state is called normal.

"My lord, you are a general, but they are people from the prince's mansion, what officials in the court have they not seen?" Vincent glanced at Ren Xiaoyao cautiously.

Let him be suffocated, yes, putting an official shelf in front of the people in the prince's mansion is a bit like selling tap water in front of the dragon king......

"But...... Didn't the prince rebel outside the city? What kind of prince is he? Ren Xiaoyao tried hard to regain some self-esteem in the prince's mansion.

"My lord, as long as the emperor does not issue a decree to the world to depose the crown prince, then he is still the prince, even if he is rebelling, he is also a rebellious prince......" Wen Sen patiently gave Ren Xiaoyao a literacy.

Ren Xiaoyao is worried now, the name of the prince's house is not right, and he is secretly under the guise of "collecting evidence of rebellion", if he orders the soldiers to force his way in, this thing will inevitably be a little too out of line, and General Ren, who has always taken low-key as the principle of life, is not very happy to do this.

But...... If the house is stopped because people don't open the door, the matter of raiding the house will be stopped, and the two thousand or so people will go back in a gray manner, and Ren Xiaoyao will be even more unhappy. Although Ren Xiaoyao has never taken face to heart, but he lost face in front of more than 2,000 subordinates, the nature is different, losing face is a small matter, who will listen to him in the future?

"Brother Xiao, are you afraid of death?" Ren Xiaoyao hit the idea to Xiao Huaiyuan on the side, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was agitated.

"I'm afraid." Xiao Huaiyuan replied very crisply, without the slightest drag, and the pronunciation of the words was accurate.

It seems that such a high-level strategy as the Radical General Method is not suitable for a brazen person like Xiao Huaiyuan.

Ren Xiaoyao glared at him and gave him an order directly: "It's not okay to be afraid, you go and find a way to open this damn door!" ”

Xiao Huaiyuan was very resistant to Ren Xiaoyao's order: "Why do you want me to go?" ”

Ren Xiaoyao said with a smile: "Day and night, it's difficult to prevent thieves, aren't you just on an errand in the prince's mansion?" Who else is more suitable for this than you? ”

Xiao Huaiyuan was furious: "Who is the family thief?" ”

Ren Xiaoyao and Vincent looked at him with disdain. The idea of raiding the house was all put forward by you, who would dare to rob you of the glorious title of "house thief"?

Xiao Huaiyuan touched his nose and said stubbornly: "Anyway, I won't go." ”

Wen Sen looked at Ren Xiaoyao's face and cautiously tentatively said, "Why don't you ...... Shall we come back in the evening? ”

"At night? Isn't that a rooster and a dog thief? No way! Ren Xiaoyao categorically rejected this kind of unbiased approach.

Vinson rolled his eyes, dare you break into someone else's house in broad daylight to steal something, don't you call it a chicken and a dog thief?

Everyone stared at each other, more than 2,000 people stood in front of the Prince's Mansion and were worried, no one expected that they would happily come to raid the house, and it would become such a situation, standing at the door for more than half an hour, and they didn't even enter the door at this time, they were really embarrassed...... This is a grievance shared by more than 2,000 people.

"Ren Xiaoyao, how did you get here?" Luo Yueniang didn't know when she came here.

Ren Xiaoyao looked sad for a moment, took her hand with a smile, and said, "No, the lack of silver is spent, I'll find some extra money for my brothers......"

Luo Yueniang's eyes lit up: "Robbery? ”

Ren Xiaoyao was taken aback, and hurriedly corrected: "No, don't talk nonsense, according to the official Ren, I am here to collect evidence of the prince's rebellion, well, by the way, check it, and bring some suspicious gold, silver and jewelry back for identification......"

Luo Yueniang rolled her eyes and said angrily: "Talking so much nonsense, isn't it just robbery, our Qinglong Mountain robbery is all open swords and guns, you are still robbing under so many guises, saying so many high-sounding hypocrisy, hum!" The heart of an official is really black......"

Ren Xiaoyao opened his mouth, wanting to refute her words, but think about it carefully, damn! This is really right......

At this moment, the door of the Prince's Mansion unexpectedly opened, and a small yellow door dressed in a brown palace uniform walked out of the door, gently shook off the dust, looked at the sky, and said sharply: "The Crown Princess's Order: If you don't follow the holy decree, the soldiers will surround the Prince's Mansion, what ......do you want?"

Before Xiao Huangmen finished speaking, Luo Yueniang snorted impatiently, stepped forward with an arrow step, slapped Xiao Huangmen to the ground, and finally stretched out his foot to kick the door open, and jumped into the threshold.

Before Ren Xiaoyao and the others could react, they saw Luo Yueniang kick away the two guards of the Prince's Mansion who wanted to step forward to stop them, and then raised their heads to the sky and let out a long roar, shouting arrogantly: "Robbery!" ”

Ren Xiaoyao's legs were weak, and he looked at Luo Yueniang with a sad face, speechless for a long time.

This...... Too straightforward, right?

Ren Xiaoyao didn't have time to sigh, more than 2,000 soldiers reacted, and suddenly thundered with joy, everyone swarmed into the prince's mansion, scrambling to be the first to grab the title, happily rushed into the house, saw the house to drill, see the things to move, if the guards of the prince's mansion stepped forward to block, they were in a group of three or five, and they couldn't help but say that they would knock people down, the prince's mansion suddenly fell into a crowd of chickens and dogs, on the contrary, it was the soldiers of the city defense army, they were laughing while grabbing, their faces were full of cheerful smiles, Happy as if something......

Ren Xiaoyao was shocked, he copied his home and returned to his home, no organization and no discipline can be done, and he turned back to say that the official played the impeachment, and he was unlucky.

So Ren Xiaoyao hurriedly stepped into the door a few steps and exclaimed, "Wrong, wrong!" It's not a robbery, it's a collection of evidence, a collection of evidence! Damn it! Speaking of collecting evidence, where do you plan to move this white jade screen? ”

"Stop it! Vinson, tell these bastards to line up and assemble! ”

After drinking, Ren Xiaoyao was about to step in, but saw the little yellow door squatting in the corner of the wall that was overturned by Luo Yueniang, crying and crying, aggrieved like a little orphan abandoned by his parents.

"Hey, you haven't finished talking yet, what the hell do you want to say?" Ren Xiaoyao asked with a pleasant face.

Xiao Huangmen wiped away his tears and sobbed, "...... The crown princess decreed, saying...... You are not allowed to enter the house......"

Ren Xiaoyao was stunned: "The crown princess? The Prince's wife? Why is she still here? Didn't the prince take her out of town? ”

Xiao Huangmen was still crying and ignored him.

Ren Xiaoyao gritted his teeth: "The prince is a bastard, he left his wife in the city and didn't care, but he ran out to rebel, it's just not as good as a beast, everyone gets it......"

After the resentment, Ren Xiaoyao's eyes rolled, he stood up and brushed his hem, and then walked towards the mansion, and lightly dropped a sentence to Xiao Huangmen: "Please prepare for the princess, just say that the general of the capital garrison invites her to sit in the north city tower, and the general invites her to eat and drink, if she needs it, the general can also give her a Thai massage in person......"

※※※

On the top of Shenlie Mountain, the forbidden army formed a long snake formation facing north on the square in front of the Temple of Heaven, with shield hands in front and spears behind, and thousands of archers stretched their bows and arrows at the end of the queue, concentrating on vigilance.

After yesterday's fierce battle, more than 10,000 elite forbidden troops are now less than 5,000 troops, and if 5,000 people resist the crazy attack of more than 20,000 rebels, it is still quite difficult, but at this time the situation is urgent, the emperor and the ministers' lives are in danger, they are the emperor's direct army, and it is their duty to ensure the safety of the emperor and the ministers, which is the honor of the forbidden army, even if they fight to a soldier, they will never allow the enemy to cross half a step and endanger the emperor's life.

From the day they were selected from among the armies and the children of the nobles in the capital to become the forbidden army, they were told this principle by the generals. The forbidden army is the last and most important barrier to protect the emperor.

At this point, the barrier is beginning to show its effect.

Just as the emperor and his ministers walked down the mountain in an orderly manner, several figures wearing dark red rebel uniforms suddenly appeared in the mountains and forests to the north, and then there were more and more figures, until the mountains were all over the mountains, and the entire northern mountains of Shenlie Mountain seemed to have turned dark red.

The commander of the forbidden army was taken aback, if it weren't for Lord Ren's timely report, if these people on the top of the mountain were attacked by this rebel army without warning, his guilt would be great.

"Bow and arrow ready-" the commander shouted, drew the sword in his hand, and pointed forward: "Release!" ”

"Huh!" The rain of arrows in the sky shot out one after another, mercilessly piercing the rebel soldiers in the mountains and bushes, because the terrain was not open, the rebels stood relatively close to each other, so the first round of arrow rain received a miraculous effect, hundreds of rebel soldiers were shot by sharp arrows before they could react, and fell on the mountain.

The general of the rebel army was a middle-aged man forty miles away, and when he saw that the soldiers under his command had just shown their heads, they ushered in the arrows of the forbidden army, and he was immediately shocked, and waved his sword and shouted: "They have found out!" You don't have to hide your whereabouts anymore, attack quickly with all your might, and capture the emperor alive! ”

"Kill!" The rebel soldiers moved faster in vain, they stood up straight, brandished their blades and rushed towards the hill, and the rebels all over the sky launched a fierce attack on the forbidden army, which was only 5,000 men.

"Bow and arrow ready—release!" The general of the forbidden army was not afraid, and shouted with his long sword aimed at the rebels.

"Roll the log, roll the rocks and get ready - push down! Fast! ”

"Shieldman ready—"

"Spear ready—"

The two armies have not yet formally clashed, and the battle situation is already extremely fierce. The soldiers of the forbidden army continued to fall down with arrows, and then some people picked up their weapons to fill the position, and the long snake formation was still not defeated in the desperate struggle of the forbidden army.

※※※

Surrounded by a small number of soldiers and eunuchs, the emperor led the ministers to retreat step by step down the mountain, and all the honor guards were discarded.

The fat man supported the emperor, walking with one foot high and one foot low, and the ministers walked behind, and everyone's face showed an unconcealed look of panic. Including the fat man, from childhood to adulthood, how could he have had such a thrilling moment. So at this moment, his fat face also turned pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down.

"No disease, are you afraid?" The emperor did not walk fast, and his demeanor still seemed calm and relaxed when he spoke.

The fat man tried his best to make his tone appear normal, but he still couldn't help but have a little trill: "Father, the son is not afraid." ”

The emperor smiled: "Don't be afraid, the prince rebelled, this rebel army of more than 20,000 people is his last strength, to tell the truth, I have been looking forward to their appearance, and now that they have appeared, I am at ease." ”

"Looking forward to them appearing? This one...... Father, the son is dull, and he doesn't understand ......"

The emperor turned his head to look at the tragic battle situation on the top of the mountain, his brows furrowed, and then he coughed violently, and after a while, he gasped, pulled the fat man away from the ministers a few steps, and said in a low voice: "No disease, you have to remember that no matter what enemy you encounter in the future, you must first learn to be good at forbearance, before you fully understand the enemy's strength, you must not act rashly, even if you give the enemy a small compromise and concession, you can accept it, you remember, although the emperor is the supreme in the world, but the emperor's power cannot be abused, especially to the enemy, Be more cautious......"

"However, if the enemy's strength has been completely exposed in front of you, and there is no disease, you must remember that at this time, you must no longer have the kindness of a woman, and you must completely defeat the enemy, eliminate the rest of the evils, and do not leave any chance for him to turn over, even if he punishes his nine clans and affects the innocent, you must not hesitate to soften, otherwise, you will leave endless hidden dangers for yourself...... Just like the rebel army behind the top of the mountain, since it is exposed, there is no reason to let them exit safely! More than 20,000 people must all die on Shenlie Mountain, and not a single one of them can escape! No disease, this is the way of the emperor, don't ......forget it," the emperor said this, his face was fierce and cold, and then he gasped a few times, and began to cough violently.

The fat man raised his eyes, looked at the emperor worriedly, and said in a low voice: "Father, the son-in-law remembers, you are not in good health, don't talk about it yet, when you return to the capital, you can live and recuperate, and the son-in-law will listen to the hadith in front of the father's order every day." ”

The emperor gasped, felt a little more comfortable, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "No disease, there are not many opportunities for me to talk to you like this, the emperor's family has too little affection, I have never cared about you well since you were a child, and I have always felt that I owe you a lot...... What makes me happy is that you have not become as greedy as those princes, but you are kind-hearted and honest, which is also the biggest reason why I want you to inherit the position of the crown prince - promise me that you will make a difference in the future, be a Ming Jun who will leave a name in the annals of history, a benevolent monarch, don't be like me, be an emperor for a lifetime, the people are against it, the ministers are against it, and finally the prince is also against it, I am the emperor, I have failed too much, and I don't know how to write and evaluate my merits and demerits in the future history books......"

With tears in his eyes, the fat man nodded vigorously, and choked up: "Father, you are Mingjun, Renjun, and at the same time...... You're a good father, too, and that's what the history books will say......"

The emperor stood up straight, looked at the rising sun slowly rising in the east with confused eyes, and sighed: "No disease, promise me, how to write and evaluate my merits and demerits in the history books in the future, you don't want to interfere, the merits and demerits are left to future generations to judge, can you stop the pen of the historian, can you stop the leisurely mouth of the people of the world?" Thousands of years later, history will always give me a fair evaluation, I have done nothing in my life, but I have always wanted to be a good emperor......"

"Archers - put!" The commander of the forbidden army waved his sword and still shouted loudly.

"Shieldmen come forward - spear column, kill!"

The spears that flickered with cold light suddenly fell, and with the order of the commander, they stabbed out in a uniform manner, and then quickly retracted, and the shield hand cooperated with the tacit understanding to raise the shield in his hand, just blocking the rebel spear's random poke counterattack.

"Spear-thorn!" The Commander, with his red eyes open, gave the order again.

The bloody slaughter was between the collection and release of spears and arrows, and the lives of the rebel soldiers were brutally and quickly harvested.

"General, the south is tight, and some can't stop it!" A Praetorian soldier came running, covered in blood and with a bit of panic on his face.

"Plagiarism camp to make up!"

"General, plagiarism battalion...... All of them have been killed! The soldier's eyes flushed.

"How many people are left in the Yongzi Battalion?" The Commander's eyes were red, and his snow-white teeth bit his parched lower lip fiercely.

"There are less than 200 people left, and most of them are wounded......"

"Let them make up for the south to Lao Tzu! Tell the brothers that they will go first, and Lao Tzu will put together all the 5,000 men and horses, and then go down to them. The Commander said in a vicious voice, his tone choked.

"Yes!" The soldier turned around, wiped away a handful of tears, and shouted at the soldiers of the Yongzi Battalion who were lying on their backs with spears in the back of the square: "Brothers of the Yongzi Battalion, the time has come to be loyal to the emperor!" Pick up your spears and come with me! ”

"Let's go! Damn, Lao Tzu killed five, it's enough, save a few more lives, it's worth it if Lao Tzu dies! ”

"Fuck you! Only killed five, shouting and fart! Lao Tzu didn't show off like the second master when he killed eight. ”

“……”

A group of wounded soldiers of the Forbidden Army laughed and laughed, they supported each other, staggered along, their spears clenched tightly in their hands, as if they were going to a luxurious feast, not caring that their young lives might have come to an end. This is a real soldier, disregarding life and death, fearless.

The strong men of Hongmen came to cut the pass, and they were generous and feared death.

The commander of the forbidden army had red eyes, watched them talk and laugh and replenish the southern defense line, and began a fierce fight. The corners of the leader's mouth curved, and he scolded fiercely: "This group of rabbit cubs ......"

In the scolding, the tears could no longer be stopped, rolling down the face of this five-foot Tibetan man.

"Spear-thorn!"
