Zhou Xianrui, who was trying his best to appease the people, did not expect Xiao Jinxuan to give such an order, looking at the people who were obviously becoming more and more uneasy, and even began to tremble, he hurriedly said:

"Jinxuan, you will scare these innocent people like this, they are also deceived by Empress Xue, after all, the government affairs are not something they can deal with. You must not hurt the innocent, or what difference will we make from those who rebel. ”

But hearing this, Xiao Jin, who had already walked in front of many people, suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at the two thousand soldiers present, and then frowned and said coldly:

"Since you are ignorant, then don't use your own ignorance to chill the hearts of tens of thousands of soldiers who have defended this country with their lives. In fact, you people ask yourself, with rotten vegetable leaves and broken stones, you really think that the king's tens of thousands of troops can't help you. The reason why these soldiers were insulted and beaten by you and did not fight back, in addition to their good military discipline, was because in their eyes, you people were the people of the Great Zhou who wanted to protect with their lives, and it was definitely not because they were afraid of you. ”

The people in the capital, because those princes and generals can often see each other on weekdays, so Xiao Jinxuan's identity was immediately recognized.

Immediately, I saw a young man who looked like a weak scholar among the people, and he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and point at Xiao Jinxuan, and a look of rejection and disgust flashed in his eyes and said:

"I know who you are, the daughter of the Shuai Mansion, the righteous daughter of the King of Yongchang, the lord of Zhaoyang. But now that you are married and have become the side concubine of the Rui Palace, what does it look like to show your face like this. It's not your turn to speak at all, and the queen has already said that the king is attacking the city to usurp the throne, and will slaughter Changping City and destroy the evidence of her rebellion. Is such a person still worthy of our support, it is really a fantasy, and my literati students in Da Zhou will definitely not agree. ”

Hearing this, the young man obviously spoke well, and saw that the other party first looked down on women, and then said that kind of high-minded talk.

Immediately, Xiao Jinxuan listened to the other party's words, but disdainfully raised her eyebrows, and then said calmly:

"Say that I am a woman, although Empress Xue is the mother of the country, don't you know that my imperial ancestor system of the Great Zhou harem cannot interfere in politics. said that the king would lead the Beijing military camp to wash Changping City in blood, if this is true, why can you still stand here now. And don't forget that night a few days ago, it was the people of the Cavalry Battalion and the Forbidden Army who really created a bloody storm in the city. On the contrary, it is the soldiers of the Beijing military camp, but they let you insult and beat and do not fight back, who is on your side, is this still up to me to explain to you? ”

When Xiao Jinxuan finished speaking, the people couldn't help whispering, after all, Empress Xue is the mother of the country, and what she said is indeed very convincing.

But thinking of the performance of the Beijing military camp in the past few days, when looking at the Xiaocai battalion and the forbidden army guarding the city, the people had a slight miscoordination, that is, they were either beaten or scolded.

There were even those who were beaten to death, and for a while the people couldn't help but be a little shaken in their hearts, and they couldn't tell who the rebels were.

And at this moment, Zhou Xianyu, who was sent a letter by the soldiers at the city gate on horseback, knew that Zhou Xianrui and others had entered the city, and rushed to Zhou Xianyu when he heard the news.

Because of his excellent ear, before he got close, Xiao Jinxuan's words to defend the soldiers of the Beijing military camp were heard by him word for word.

Therefore, when Zhou Xianyu led a group of men and horses to the front, the two thousand soldiers surrounding the people put away their weapons and saluted him.

I saw Zhou Xianyu looking at Xiao Jinxuan with a doting look in his eyes, and then said with a smile:

"After so many days, Xuan'er is the first person who is willing to speak out for my brothers. In fact, it is not the most difficult to confront the rebels, but the most troublesome thing for me is the people who come to the barracks every now and then to make trouble, and even try to burn grain and grass. I used to think that the people in the city were suffering from bewitchment, and those who didn't know were not guilty. But now I also think what Xuan'er said is good. Therefore, from now on, those who wantonly make trouble will be beheaded in front of the army. ”

In fact, Zhou Xianyu has led the troops over the years, and naturally he will not be too indecisive. The reason why these people have been ignored in the past is mainly because the other party is the people of the Great Zhou.

And another reason is because Zhou Xianyu knows very well in his heart that he has been splashed with dirty water by Empress Xue. If the people who make trouble are severely punished, they will inevitably suffer from even greater public resentment, which will only be more unfavorable to him.

But now that Zhou Xianrui, the prince with the edict of Emperor Ming, is here, the situation has immediately changed dramatically.

There is no name, and there will be something that is questioned. If there are reckless people, Zhou Xianyu really does not recommend killing a hundred people, and the provincial army is in turmoil.

And Zhou Xianyu's Great Zhou War King is not called in vain, he is notorious, and now this statement is still quite deterrent.

Originally, the people, who saw that no matter how much trouble they made and became more and more excessive, they couldn't help but bow their heads in fear.

Under Zhou Xianyu's deterrence, no one dared to throw stones, or insult half a sentence.

And at this moment, I suddenly saw Zhou Xianyu behind the pair, and suddenly more than a dozen people in court clothes ran over.

Led by Shen Mu, a veteran of the imperial court, followed by Meng Mian, Guo Yi and others.

And when they rushed closer, including Shen Mu, they knelt down in front of Zhou Xianrui.

And looking at Guo Yi, who has always been informal, he was the first to say with excitement:

"I waited for these anti-Xue officials, but thanks to the timely arrival of the Beijing military camp, this can be regarded as saving a life. I heard His Royal Highness say, Prince Rui, you are the heir to the throne proposed by the emperor. I don't know if the holy edict is available, if this matter is serious, we will assist the prince to ascend the throne and become the emperor, fight against the rebellious people to the end, and protect the orthodoxy of the Great Zhou Dynasty for thousands of years. ”

The people, who were still a little hesitant, saw that so many officials were kneeling on the ground, and they obviously supported Zhou Xianrui as emperor.

Zhou Xianrui, who already has a high reputation among the people, is really the desire of the people.

Especially when he saw Zhou Xianyu, who led his troops to attack the city for many days, he also knelt on one knee, and for a while, all the people did not hesitate, they all knelt on the ground, and they spontaneously changed their mouths and called our emperor long live.

The water can carry the boat or overturn the boat, seeing the arrival of Zhou Xianrui, it really pulled back the hearts of the people who were inclined to Xue Hou.

Even the soldiers in the Beijing military camp, who have been idle for the past few days, have finally raised their heads and chests, changed their depressed mood, and their morale has risen a lot again in an instant.

Seeing the people chanting him as our emperor, Zhou Xianrui's most direct feeling was not excitement and joy, but heavy pressure and responsibility.

Thinking of Emperor Ming's entrustment in front of the sickbed, and looking at the people looking at him, they pinned their hopes on him.

As well as the officials who knelt down, as well as the soldiers of the Beijing military camp who were about to spill their blood for him to ascend the throne and succeed to the throne, Zhou Xianyu suddenly realized it more deeply.

His life, even everything, seemed to be more than just himself at this moment.

And Zhou Xianrui also silently swore in his heart that for the sake of this country and all the people of the Great Zhou, he must also die for the sake of Sheji Anbang.

And Zhou Xianrui, who waited for everyone's expectation, persuaded the people to get up one after another, and told everyone not to blindly target the soldiers in the Beijing military camp, just wait and see what happens, and protect themselves in the future.

After finally persuading the people to retreat and leave, Zhou Xianrui immediately rushed to the foot of the imperial city under the escort of the army, and discussed the current countermeasures with the anti-Xue ministers.

And it was not until the end of several hours of deliberation that it was time for the sun to set, and everyone finally reached a unity.

Because the imperial city is the fundamental symbol of the Great Zhou State, breaking through from the front and forcibly breaking through will not only make the whole country unsafe, even if Zhou Xianrui ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, I am afraid that future generations will still criticize him, and he will also be ridiculed by other countries that he is incompetent.

Therefore, after Zhou Xianrui told the things about the secret passage of the palace that he got from the king of Yongchang, Zhou Xianyu led the distribution of troops, and Guo Yi, Meng Mian and others supplemented the plan.

In the end, the plan drawn up was that the troops were divided into two routes, and a large force still besieged the four gates of the imperial city, and was commanded by Zhou Xianrui, the justifiable prince, but only besieged and did not move.

This not only shows Zhou Xianrui's benevolence, but if Empress Xue comes forward to demagogue, with him, a virtuous king with a high reputation among the people, they can naturally deal with each other.

And the most important thing is actually Zhou Xianyu's side, he will lead a small elite force to occupy the palace courtyard, and then enter the palace through the secret passage.

Then, while attacking Zhou Xianrui inside and outside, he controlled the situation in the imperial city as little as possible, and then opened the palace door from the inside to welcome Zhou Xianrui to the throne and become emperor.

In this way, not only will the casualties be reduced a lot, but the ascension to the throne will also become more natural.

So when the idea was finalized, Guo Yi was scheming and not afraid of danger, and finally he went to the palace with Zhou Xianyu as a military advisor. And Shen Mu and Meng Mian left ministers to assist Zhou Xianrui.

After everything was discussed, because of the arrival of Zhou Xianrui, the vital backbone, everyone who became more and more full of fighting spirit hurriedly performed their duties for a while.

As for Zhou Xianyu, he selected the most elite soldiers in the 3,000 Beijing military camp, and they had to leave immediately after everything was ready.

But he didn't want Xiao Jinxuan to come at this moment, and asked to rush to the palace with him.

Because at the beginning, Empress Xue was eager to kill King Yongchang and others, but in the end, she heard the soldiers in control of the palace reply, saying that this group of people suddenly appeared in the other garden and escaped smoothly.

Therefore, when he thought that there must be a secret passage in the palace that led directly to the palace garden, although he later searched through it, he did not turn this secret passage out.

But she still sent a lot of troops to be stationed there, just in case someone would enter the palace directly through the secret passage.

Therefore, if he wants to seize the right to enter and exit the secret passage, Zhou Xianyu knows that tonight must be another vicious battle. In addition, in order to prevent Zhou Xianrui's side from having insufficient troops, he had to take 3,000 people to the palace.

For such a dangerous matter, Zhou Xianyu has never said a "no" to Xiao Jinxuan in everything, but this time he categorically rejected the other party's request with concern.

And Zhou Xianyu's reaction, in fact, Xiao Jinxuan had expected it a long time ago, but she stared at this man who had been entrusted for life, and said with a hint of hatred and determination between her lips:

"Xianyu, you don't have to hide it from me, when you were discussing things, Su Qi, who was in charge of investigating intelligence with you, had already told me that the guard of the palace was Ji Lingfeng. The grudge between me and him may not be clear to anyone else in the world, but only you know it clearly. It's time to put an end to the grievances between me and him and Xiao Jinyu, so whether you agree with it or not, I'm going to go to the palace today. ”
