The battle on the long street ended with the rout of the Terracotta Division.

But after defeating them, Chen Xiaoting didn't have time to be happy, and there was still a lot of work that they needed to do next.

Of course, the first thing they had to do was to get to the palace as soon as possible.

Riding a horse and following Zhu Xiuyin's carriage, Chen Xiaoting announced: "Your Highness, there is news in the direction of the palace!" ”

The news about the direction of the palace was naturally what Zhu Xiuyin was most concerned about, so he immediately asked, "What happened?" ”

Chen Xiaoting replied: "King Wu has controlled the Bei'an Gate Forbidden Army!" ”

Bei'anmen is the north gate of the capital, and there are nearly 1,000 troops stationed there, which is by no means good news for Zhu Xiuyin.

"Go to the palace first!" Zhu Xiuyin said with a firm gaze.

Even if Zhu Xiulin controlled the Bei'an Gate Forbidden Army, he did not have an advantageous position, because in terms of numbers alone, there were four or five thousand people available for just one Jinyi guard.

What's more, this time with Zhu Xiuyin, there are also hundreds of elites of the Zhengyang Gate Forbidden Army.

On the other hand, the situation in the palace at this moment is also extremely tense.

Jinyiwei's "rebellion" completely disrupted Zhu Xiulin's arrangement, so much so that he had to take an extreme way and go to Bei'anmen to deliver the decree in person.

But fortunately, the Bei'an Gate Forbidden Army has been persuaded by him and is willing to go south with him to quell the rebellion.

On the side of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Zhu Xiulin was completely hopeless, which also made him extremely disappointed in Huang Yucheng.

said that they would take care of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, but they didn't expect to go as planned, let alone mobilize the forbidden army, and even the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division were not fully mobilized.

At this moment, Zhu Xiuyin was sitting on the wall of the palace, quietly looking at the city tower below.

On the city wall, in addition to the Bei'an Gate Forbidden Army summoned by him, there was also the forbidden army that originally guarded the imperial city.

In the imperial city alone, Zhu Xiulin has two thousand forbidden troops at his disposal, and he has a city wall to rely on, so he has a great advantage.

But Zhu Xiulin knew in his heart that from the beginning of seizing power to the present, his advantage was actually shrinking.

This actually annoyed Zhu Xiulin, who was originally a stone's throw away from the throne, but now he is half of the imperial city.

At this moment, Liu Jinzhong came over and said, "Lord Wang, Niu Jingyun's house has been taken, and the only Jinyi guard in the imperial city is already a headless fly!" ”

Niu Jingyun was sent back by Chen Xiaoting to control the palace, but he fell into Liu Jinzhong's trap, and he was arrested instead of doing it.

The Imperial City Jinyi Guard, who had high hopes for Chen Xiaoting, could not be counted on at all at this moment, and all of these people had been disarmed.

"It's useless to keep it, kill!" Zhu Xiulin said coldly.

Dealing with the enemy, Zhu Xiulin will not be half soft, just a Jinyi Wei deputy Qianhu, in his eyes there is no difference between Cao Mustard.

In the distance, Zhu Xiuyin, escorted by the army, and his party also rushed to the periphery of the imperial city.

Because of the existence of Jinyiwei, the news of Zhu Xiuyin's entry into Beijing was widely known, so after entering Beicheng, people joined Zhu Xiuyin's team one after another.

Most of these people are officials of various yamen in the capital, and even the thousands of households of the Terracotta Division, so it can be seen that Zhu Xiuyin has a deep prestige in the capital.

But don't underestimate these officials, they represent the general trend of the imperial court and will have an impact on Zhu Xiulin's authority.

You must know that the reason why Zhu Xiulin was able to mobilize the forbidden army was because he was exercising imperial power on his behalf, and the power itself was not his.

If most of the officials in the imperial court were against him, and Zhu Xiuyin was under the banner of counterinsurgency, what would the forbidden army that helped Zhu Xiulin think?

As long as these people have doubts about Zhu Xiulin, they can declare Zhu Xiulin's defeat.

As the team marched, more and more people gathered around Zhu Xiuyin, and there was even no shortage of Shangshu Shilang level members.

They drove to the outside of the palace gate, and although they encountered obstacles in the middle, they were all easily taken.

And at this moment, Chen Xiaoting also got the news from the palace and knew that Niu Jingyun was already more than lucky.

This is something that can't be helped, everyone is doing something that loses their heads, and you have to have the consciousness of losing your life at any time.

Soon, they rushed to the outside of the palace gate, which made the air outside the main gate of the imperial city freeze a lot.

Although the distance is relatively far, Zhu Xiuyin and Zhu Xiulin can see each other, but they can't see their faces clearly.

These two brothers can be said to have been fighting since childhood, and at this moment, it has reached the critical moment of the competition for the throne, so it is natural that the enemies are very angry when they meet.

At this moment, an official on the city tower shouted loudly: "King Yuyang, if you disobey the decree and return to Beijing against the holy will, do you want to rebel?" ”

Not only does Zhu Xiuyin have supporters, but Zhu Xiulin actually has a huge amount of power in the court, and some of them have gathered around him at this moment.

"The forbidden army on the city tower, you have all been deceived by these people, King Wu is under house arrest for the emperor, intending to usurp the throne...... Will you rebel with you? Zhu Xiuyin's side was not to be outdone, and immediately had officials to help deal with it.

The two sides accused each other of being traitors, and for a while they talked back and forth.

At this time, Zhu Xiuyin's advantages were reflected, he had more officials to help speak, and it was easy to put pressure on the forbidden army on the city wall.

And in the process, more and more officials went to Zhu Xiuyin's side, which made him more confident.

In the end, even the highly respected Qin Yanwen came outside Zhu Xiuyin's carriage.

"Your Highness, you are back!" Qin Yanwen was full of excitement.

From the time the emperor fell, because Zhu Xiuyin was not in the capital, the Qin party was in great power after uniting with the neutral faction of the imperial court, but in fact it was in a disadvantageous position.

Once Zhu Xiulin uses the army, no matter how powerful they are, they will not be useful.

Fortunately, Zhu Xiuyin entered the city at a critical time, and the situation was reversed at this time.

Now that Zhu Xiulin is entrenched in the palace with his troops, in Qin Yanwen's opinion, there is nothing to be afraid of, and the palace is a prison at the moment.

Of course, the sooner Zhu Xiulin is taken down, the sooner they can feel at ease.

"Your Highness, you must seal off the palace as soon as possible, and don't let King Wu spread the news again!" Qin Yanwen proposed.

Chen Xiaoting, who was standing on the side, immediately said: "Your Highness, rest assured, Weichen has sent manpower, and he will never let King Wu contact the outside world!" ”

As a civil official, Qin Yanwen's dislike for the factory guard was deep-rooted, and when he saw Chen Xiaoting come out to show his merits at this moment, his heart was very uncomfortable.

Of course, what made Qin Yanwen most uncomfortable was that the credit for welcoming Zhu Xiuyin into the city this time was also taken away by Chen Xiaoting.

"Good ......," Zhu Xiuyin said calmly.

Qin Yanwen's micro-expressions all fell in Zhu Xiuyin's eyes, but his mentality was completely different.

The civil officials are great, and as the monarch carries out the factory guard to balance the civil officials, it is a necessary means...... Zhu Xiuyin has looked at the problem from the perspective of the monarch.

Then, Zhu Xiuyin stepped down from the horse, and under the protection of a group of guards, he slowly walked towards the palace gate.

Although some people dissuaded him halfway, Zhu Xiuyin still insisted on his own opinion and stood in front to the greatest extent.

Under the protection of a big shield, Zhu Xiuyin spoke: "Eighth brother...... Sixth brother is back, why don't you come out to meet? ”

On the city tower, Zhu Xiulin's face was extremely ugly, because he saw Zhu Xiuyin's calmness.

"Sixth brother, my father asked you to go out of Beijing to become a vassal, how can you come back without a will?" Zhu Xiulin asked coldly.

"Eighth brother, if I don't come back, my father is afraid that he will be killed by you!"

These words can make Zhu Xiulin half angry, obviously he is taking advantage of himself, but now he is so squeezed by Zhu Xiuyin that he is speechless.

"Sixth brother, don't spew blood!"

"Really? Then you will open the palace gate and let me and the ministers and soldiers meet my father? ”
