Chapter 60: The Kings Rebel
In the valley north of the capital, the king of Mingzhou, dressed in armor, was explaining something to his subordinates.
It is not an easy thing for tens of thousands of troops to set off. And the army, which has not undergone hard training, is even more of a mess when it raises its camps. The tumult continued for two or three hours before we set off.
Not long after the king of Mingzhou set out, there was a quick horse report, saying that the army of King Min and the king of Fuzhou had set off, and it was less than fifty miles away from the capital.
A hint of pride appeared on the face of the king of Mingzhou, and he immediately ordered the army to speed up the march.
At the same time, three armies approached the capital, and if the city defense battalion didn't know about it, they could really all die.
King Min's army was at the forefront, less than thirty miles from the capital. The city defense battalion had already received the news, and immediately dispatched all its personnel, immediately entered the city, closed all the city gates, and waited for the battle.
Although the other party is King Min's army, there is no news of King Min's rebellion, but tens of thousands of troops have arrived, and they have to be guarded against.
Liang Jia had already received the news in the palace, and immediately left the palace with the guards and went up to the southern city wall.
I thought that these people would wait for a wave of public opinion to ferment, but I didn't expect them to be so breathless, and it was only three days before they were launched.
On the city wall, the army of changing operations in the distance was already visible, and the black and oppressive figures made people's scalps tingle.
After all, Liang Jia has been on the battlefield once, and he is quite calm today.
"Is it just King Min's army?" Liang Jia asked Wen Xiansen beside him.
"Go back to the emperor. In the east, the pioneer camp of the king of Fuzhou was found, about two thousand. To the north, the army of the king of Mingzhou was found, with 40,000 men. Wen Xiansen looked nervous.
Now most of the army of the imperial court is whispering Liukou and the rebels of King Qing in the south, but there is no extra army to come to King Qin. If his city defense battalion can't withstand the armies of these princes, then everything will be over.
"Are rumors still circulating in the city?" Liang Jia asked Invite Yue again.
"There's no way to control it, there's no way to find the source." Invite Yue is also very helpless. It's too difficult to detect this kind of gossip, not to mention that there are not many Jinyiwei now.
"General Wen, it's all up to you." After Liang Jia finished speaking, he left the city wall.
He doesn't play a big role here, as long as he's okay, everything is fine, so he needs to protect himself first.
The city defense battalion strengthened the guards of the palace and brought with it ten thousand soldiers, and the palace walls were densely covered with soldiers, whose weapons reflected the sun's rays and looked dazzling.
A large number of people gathered at the gate of the palace, all of whom were ministers of the court.
The armies of King Min, King Mingzhou, King Fuzhou and others approached the capital, and these officials in the capital panicked.
The lack of feeling for the current emperor does not mean that they are willing to change the emperor, after all, it is not good to say who will be the emperor next. If you encounter a very spicy and tyrannical emperor, the civil officials will suffer.
Of course, there are some speculative guys in between. If the emperor can't hold on now, they are still willing to support one again.
Liang Jia looked at the courtiers with different faces, didn't say anything, didn't say anything to their salute, and went directly into the palace and closed the palace door.
The ministers couldn't get into the palace, and some left quickly, but there were still many people waiting at the palace gate, and they didn't know what they were waiting for.
Although Chen Yueqiang has not yet returned to the capital, under the command of Ying Yue, the Jinyi Wei spy has begun to play a role, constantly transmitting the movements outside the city to the palace.
The army of the king of Mingzhou and the king of Fuzhou has also arrived ten miles away from the capital, and the three armies are encamping, and the king of Min, the king of Mingzhou and the king of Fuzhou came to the vicinity of the city wall with a cadre of personal soldiers, and they are shouting to the city defense camp.
Outside the city, King Min took the lead, the King of Mingzhou, the King of Fuzhou and other princes followed, and then there was a cadre of their personal guards, with more than a thousand people.
King Min walked to a place a stone's throw away from the city wall and stopped, looked up at the tall and heavy city wall of the capital, and was quite emotional for a while.
"I didn't expect that this king would face the capital again in such a way."
"When Uncle Huang enters the city again, it will be the Ninety-Five Supreme." The king of Fuzhou complimented.
Others also hurriedly offered a sycophant.
A series of sycophants made King Min's heart open, and his pride and ambition surged into his heart.
"Which one is Wen Xiansen, the general of the city defense battalion, my prince has something to say." One of the guards received the approval of King Min, took a few steps forward, and shouted loudly.
Wen Xiansen glanced at the princes who were talking and laughing below, and his face was grim. Hearing the shouts below, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Quickly tell your family lord, the capital is important and cannot be touched, and quickly retreat." ”
"General Wen!" When King Min heard this, he shouted loudly.
Wen Xiansen ignored him.
King Min didn't care and continued to shout: "General Wen, this king has led his army here today, and he has no other meaning, just to find out the murderer of the Queen Mother." It is rumored in the palace that the queen mother was killed, but it was the black hand of the current government in order to take power, and the king had to meet the emperor to ask for clarification. ”
"Find out the murderer of the Queen Mother, and you have people from various yamen to do it. The prince wanted to ask the emperor clearly, so he could enter the city alone, and then enter the palace to face the saint. However, the prince led tens of thousands of people with armor to come, and the minister had to suspect the prince's intentions. In addition, the rumor that the emperor killed his mother, how can the prince, as a person from the heavenly family, be credulous? ”
"Even the empress dowager's noble status can be ruthlessly killed, how dare this king enter the palace alone, and he must bring some guards to protect himself."
"Lord Wang, I've said it." Wen Xiansen's face was very bad. King Min pointed out that it was the emperor who killed the queen mother, and this crime can never be admitted, even if it is true, it will never be admitted.
Not to mention that Wen Xiansen is not confident, 90% of the people who understand the situation in the imperial court now think that the queen mother was killed by the emperor.
"General Wen, this king doesn't want the sword and soldiers to meet each other and stain the capital with blood, so if General Wen knows the current affairs, open the city gate and let the king enter the city."
"No way. The emperor has issued an order to order Wen to strictly guard the city, but Wen does not dare to resist the order. ”
"General Wen, this king will say again, your loyalty is good, but who can say for sure about the affairs of the heavenly family, maybe tomorrow the object of your loyalty will be changed? In any case, the Great Liang Country is still the Great Liang Country. Is this king right? ”
This is the solicitation of Chi Guoguo.
His meaning is also very simple, anyway, no matter who becomes the emperor, your Wen Xiansen is loyal to the Great Liang Kingdom. You can be loyal to Liang Jia as an emperor, and he should naturally be loyal when he is an emperor. What's more, the change of throne is also in their family, so why should they be so clear.
"Lord, the minister can't answer. But now in the position of the city defense battalion, the minister must do his duty. No army is allowed to enter the capital, this is the mission of the city defense battalion, and the minister does not want to be a sinner for the ages. ”
King Min's face sank, and Wen Xiansen refused with a clear attitude.
"Uncle Huang, don't bother talking, this Wen Xiansen will not surrender, let's go ahead with our plan directly."
King Min nodded, retreated with the people, and then there was no movement.
Wen Xiansen had been waiting on the city wall, but until dark, the army outside the city did not move, which was puzzling.
