Chapter 41: Luoyang Rebellion

East of Huben Camp

It was late at night, but Zhou Yan sat in the Chinese army camp with a knife in armor, looking at the direction of the palace, although the weather was cold, sweat was like rain.

His henchmen, Li Dan, Chen Shan, Wu Han, and Zhao Mingbuwei, walked into the camp softly together, and whispered: "Captain Zhou, the Tiger Camp has been assembled except for Sima Peng Yu and Wang Dang's department, and 2,500 people are here, please ask Captain Zhou to order." ”

Zhou Yang seemed to be awakened, and a hoarse and inaudible voice came from his throat, "Okay, well, put on armor and hold a knife, and stand by in place." ”

The fifth lieutenant whispered, "Yes"

Infantry battalion

Infantry captains Wang Rou and Sima Xu You were sitting in the infantry camp, looking in the direction of the palace. The 20 lieutenants under his command set up the camp and did not move.

Wang Rou clenched his hands into fists, his fingers were too hard, his nails were pinched into the flesh without realizing it, Xu You's face was as usual, calm and relaxed, but the twitches on his face from time to time showed that Xu You was also extremely nervous. Xu You sighed secretly, "Hey, I wonder if I, Xu You, can see the sun tomorrow?" ”

Inside the Royal Palace

A small yellow door walked inside, "Feng Gong came to report, Xu Gong ordered, everything has been done, Xu Gong ordered, 20 places will be fired." ”

Xu Feng's eyes were red, and when he heard this, the blue tendons on his forehead were exposed, and he pondered for a moment and closed his eyes and shouted, "Okay, tell Feng Yu that there is a fire when the child is on fire, and you follow me to the infantry camp to announce the decree." ”

Xiao Huangmen hurriedly said, "Yes." ”

Inside Luoyang City

The Yellow Turban leaders Zhou Mugen, Feng Hu, Zhao Damu and a middle-aged man sat in the hall, and the Yellow Turban leader Li Dahong hurriedly reported, "Ma Qushuai, the headquarters has been assembled, a total of 2,300 people, please show Qu Shuai." ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man pointed to the side, "Brother Li, sit." Li Dahong sat down next to Zhou Mu as he said.

The middle-aged man's name is Ma Yuanyi, who has been loyal to the Great Sage and Good Teacher for 12 years, can kill wolves with his bare hands, has a resolute temperament, is the organizer of the Yellow Turban Sect in Jingzhou and Yangzhou, and is deeply trusted by the Great Sage and Good Teacher, and was appointed as the leader of the Yellow Turban Sect in Luoyang.

Ma Yuanyi slowly got up, clenched his fists with both hands, and exhaled a breath and said, "It's all here, Brother Zhou, Brother Feng, Brother Zhao, Brother Li, you and other 4 departments have gathered more than 10,000 sectarians, I thank you on behalf of the great sages and good teachers, according to Xu Fengfeng in the palace,

Tonight, when the palace is on fire, Xu Fengfeng Feng led the army to arrest the emperor, the queen mother, the queen and the prince, this is a godsend, whether they succeed or not, it will make the palace chaotic, we will also start the army when the son, Brother Zhou Feng will lead you and other 5000 soldiers to take the Guangyang Gate, Brother Zhao and Brother Li will lead you to take the 5000 soldiers of the headquarters to take the Middle East Gate,

The great sage and good teacher gathered 40,000 people scattered outside the second gate, and must take the city gate to let the 40,000 troops enter, so that the great thing can be accomplished. ”

The four of them stood up, "Great sage and good teacher, the plan of ghosts and gods, overthrow the tyrants, establish a new deal, we will definitely win the second door, please rest assured!" ”

Ma Yuanyi said, "Okay! When the palace is on fire tonight, it is the day when the yellow scarf is against the sky, and the master has been preparing for many years. ”

The four of them said, "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world is auspicious." ”

Ma Yuanyi said, "Okay, let's go and prepare quickly, and each of them will send troops when the time comes, there must be no mistakes!" ”

The four "obey!" ”

Outside the city of Luoyang

Zhang Mancheng's more than 20,000 people were assembled and waited for Ma Yuanyi to open Guangyang Gate.

More than 20,000 people from Zhang Liang's department were also assembled, waiting for Ma Yuanyi to open the Middle East Gate.

In the middle of the night, the dark wind is on fire

East Palace

"Walk the water, walk the water...... The cool hall is ......"

"It's a drain...... Wende Hall is ......"

Mixed with the panicked shouts of the eunuch palace female soldiers, it was not heard at first, but the sound became louder and louder, so big that it finally woke up Queen He and the prince Liu Wei, Queen He was about to ask, but saw that Lu Qiang had run out of the palace gate like an arrow, and after a while, he ran back like a fly,

Then he asked, "Lu Qing, why is it so noisy outside?" ”

Lu Qiang replied, "The big thing is not good, the Qingliang Palace, the Wende Hall are on fire, the fire is too big, I am afraid it cannot be saved." ”

Empress He asked nervously, "Will it burn to the palace?" ”

Lu Qiang said, "The queen and prince can rest assured, it is still far from the palace, and the palace is a separate courtyard, and the fire cannot burn the palace." ”

Empress He smiled and said, "That's good, then Lu Qing quickly go to extinguish the fire, if the situation is critical, come and report it quickly." ”

Lu Qiang's face was pale and he hurriedly said, "I'm afraid something is wrong, I think my palace is a forbidden place, why did I suddenly catch fire, and the fire just started to burn to more than 10 halls, I'm afraid it's not a fire, but a thief who set it on fire." ”

Queen He sat at the head of the bed, "Why do thieves set fires, how is this good?" ”

Liu Wei cried when he heard this, "Mother, mother...... Children are afraid ......"

Lu Qiang: "But please let the queen and prince relax, sit in the palace, the fire is bound to not burn to the East Palace, please don't take a step out of this palace, I will mobilize the guards to escort you, so as to inquire about Your Majesty's situation." ”

Empress He hurriedly took Lu Qiang's hand and said, "No matter what, Lu Qing will definitely protect my son, this is the prince of today, there is no room for mistakes, and my He family will never treat you badly." ”

Lu Qiang hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Don't worry, the queen, Lu Qiang will protect the queen and the prince." ”

Empress He let go of her hand and looked at the fire outside worriedly, "Then Lu Qing go, I hope you don't lose your trust in the He family." ”

Lu Qiang said: "Don't dare, don't dare." Lu Qiang turned his head and left.

Lu Qiang ran to the door, only to see that there were no less than 20 places where the fire started, carefully looked at the fire prescription position, His Majesty was in the Hehuan Hall around the fire did not catch fire, his heart was a little relieved, and he summoned a few henchmen Xiao Huangmen, and instructed one of them to "go to Yongle Palace quickly to investigate the situation, and call Jian Shuo to come to His Majesty's Hehuan Hall to escort." ”

Lu Qiang led several people to run quickly towards the Hehuan Palace.

Yongle Palace

Liu Xie seemed to be a little uneasy when he slept, Empress Dowager Dong patted her grandson's back, Liu Xie turned over and fell asleep again.

Empress Dowager Dong saw that Liu Xie was asleep again, turned around and frowned, "Jian Shuo"

Jian Shuocheng knelt down to the side of the bed in fear and said in a low voice, "The slave is here, what does the Queen Mother command?" ”

Empress Dowager Dong patted her grandson Liu Xie again, frowned and said, "Why is it so noisy outside, you go and see, it is noisy for my grandson to sleep, and you are the only one who asks." ”

Jian Shuo's face turned pale, "Yes, yes, yes, the slave will find out." ”

Jian Shuo crawled out with a roll, and was about to shout, when the slave who didn't know whether he was alive or dead was scolded for himself, and suddenly saw the raging fire in the palace in front of him, he was startled, and quickly asked, "This, this, this, this...... Where to walk the water? ”

A small yellow door said in fear, "If you return to Gong, there are fires everywhere, and the fire spreads very quickly, and the small ones can't save it." ”

Jian Shuo looked at the fire and saw that it would not burn to the Yongle Hall for the time being, and his heart was a little calm, and suddenly his face changed and he asked urgently, "How is the Hehuan Palace?" ”

Xiao Huangmen's face was pale, "No, I don't know." ”

Jian Shuo kicked over, and the little eunuch hurriedly ran to the open space, looked at it for a while, and found that there was no fire in the direction of the Hehuan Palace, and his heart was at ease.

A small yellow door, "Gong Jian, Gong Lu called Gong Jian to go to the Hehuan Hall to escort him, please go to Gong Jian quickly." ”

Hearing this, Jian Shuo hurriedly returned to the Empress Dowager Dong's situation, "The Empress Dowager, the noise outside the palace is caused by a fire, please rest assured that the fire has been controlled and will not spread to Yongle Palace. ”

Empress Dowager Dong said softly, "Since the fire is caused by the fire, and the fire will not spread, you should go and return quickly, if Yongle Palace burns a grass and a tree, I want the heads of your 3 clans." ”

Jian Shuo kowtowed and said, "The slave obeys." ”

Jian Shuo rushed out of the palace gate and shouted, "You wait to listen to the order and protect the queen mother and the prince, but if the fire burns to the Yongle Palace, before the queen mother punishes my three clans, I will punish the nine clans first." So he hurried to the Hehuan Temple.
