Standing on the tower of the city gate and looking in the direction of the city, you can see the eaves and palace walls of the tall Daqing Palace, but you can't see how the palace is surging.

In the market, when the sun was shining after noon, there were not many pedestrians, and some people who entered and left the city saw that the city gate was closed, and they only closed the city gate as if it were an ordinary arrest of bandits.

A few sporadic guests in the restaurant and tea shop near the West Gate were enjoying their lazy lunch time as usual, and no one realized that the sky was about to change.

Yang Huairen on the Wansheng Gate, seeing that the sergeants under his command were all draped, it was indeed too torturous to stand in such a sun, and after a moment of work, he was already sweating profusely.

There was no big movement outside the city gate, so he divided the 200 or so people into three shifts, leaving only one group to stand on the city wall and pay attention to the movements inside and outside the city gate, and the remaining two groups to hide in the shade and rest.

In this way, a group of people will be on duty for half an hour, and everyone will not run out of strength.

Several brothers followed him, and they all seemed to feel the tense atmosphere, so they didn't speak, as for what they should do if something happened, they didn't have to think about it, Yang Huairen said a word when he set off, and all actions are under command.

Staying in the inner guard of the Jinju Hall in the city, Yang Huairen, who somehow knew, was on the gate tower of Wanshengmen, and a person came to deliver the letter.

However, there was nothing real in the news, and they only noticed that there was something strange in the city today, but they couldn't find out what was going on.

The other internal guards in the hall, they can't fully know their identities, but there are some who know and find out that they are abnormal recently, but specifically, they can't say what the reason is, and they don't understand their purpose.

The palace gate has been closed, and I heard that the civil and military officials of the previous dynasty are also scattered in the upper dynasty as usual at noon, which is no different from usual.

The soldiers and horses of the three divisions in the city did not find any strange behavior.

Yang Huairen really couldn't analyze any useful clues from these news, and this sudden holy decree was indeed a little strange.

It turned out that the marquis and the sergeant who were guarding the gate gave up the gate when they saw the holy decree, and they could not ask for anything useful from them.

The only thing that can be done is to ask the internal guards in the city to continue to inquire about the news, and come back as soon as there is any trouble.

Half an hour later, the second group had just changed the guard, and the sound of running horses was heard outside the city gate, and the sound of horses' hooves was chaotic.

This group of forbidden troops seemed to be only about a thousand people, and a general-like person at the head saw that the city gate was closed, jumped out on a prancing horse, holding a roll of yellow silk in his hand, and shouted towards the gatehouse in an unkind tone.

"I am Lu Tingxin, the general of Long Wuwei, and I was ordered to enter the city, why did the Marquis close the city gate? Hurry up and open the city gates and let you go! ”

Above the city gate, everyone looked at Yang Huairen. Yang Huairen wondered in his heart and shook his head.

It is obvious that he and Yang Shihu also received a holy decree, and the decree was to let them guard the gates of the twelve outer cities of the capital, that is, to prevent the forbidden army outside the city from entering the city without authorization.

And this Lu Tingxin under the city gate, who claimed to be the general of Long Wuwei, entered the city by order, which is self-contradictory and a bit unreasonable.

The question is, he was ordered to enter the city, so what did he do when he brought this thousand forbidden troops into the city? Is it to save the king of Qinqin, or to rebel?

The holy decree in Yang Huairen's hand and the holy decree in Lu Tingxin's hand must be fake, so after Yang Huairen confirmed that the holy decree in his hand was written by Zhao Xu himself, then what Lu Tingxin held in his hand must be someone's holy decree.

This Lu Tingxin, Yang Huairen is not familiar with it, and the name seems to have a little impression, but he has never seen it. Looking at him as thirty-five or sixteen years old, he can be as capable as General Long Wuwei of the forbidden army, either he has great ability, or he has a very hard relationship.

Appointing or transferring a high-ranking general of the forbidden army, Zhao Xu has the power to do so, but Empress Dowager Gao also has the ability to ask the Privy Council to help her do it.

The current situation is that Zhao Xu could not be so confused that he ordered Yang Huairen and Yang Shihu to lead a group of fresh faces to garrison the twelve gates of the capital, and at the same time ordered other forbidden troops to enter the city at this time.

At least in Yang Huairen's heart, he felt that he had underestimated Zhao Xu, who was only sixteen years old this year, and more and more things proved that the children born in the emperor's family looked silly and cute, and at the same time shrewd and terrifying.

When they don't have great power, they always have to pretend to be a show, and after enduring it for a long time, they suddenly burst out, which is actually very terrifying.

What happened in the palace, Yang Huairen still didn't know, and if he wanted to guess it, he couldn't guess it, so he might as well be too lazy to guess.

It's better to just take care of the things in front of you, General Lu Tingxin led a thousand forbidden troops to enter the city with a fake holy decree, then he is eighty percent of the Empress Dowager's person.

For someone who doesn't know the outcome of future events, maybe you have to think about balancing which side to choose at such a time.

But for Yang Huairen, this link is saved.

In the eyes of everyone, in a tense atmosphere, Yang Huairen stood behind the notch of the female wall and shouted loudly, "I am Yang Huairen, the prince of Tongyuan County, I just received the will of the saint, and the saint ordered me to inform General Lu, you don't have to enter the city, take your men and horses back to the camp of Qionglinyuan immediately." ”

Lu Tingxin, who was outside the city gate, almost laughed when he heard such a funny reason. Does this decree still convey such a message?

What's going on on both sides now, everyone knows in their hearts.

At this time, a person who looked like a deputy general next to Lu Tingxin rushed out and whispered something in Lu Tingxin's ear, but Lu Tingxin shook his head, "Wansheng Gate is closed, and the other city gates must be the same, there is no need to go and see it." ”

He turned his horse and retreated more than a dozen steps, and suddenly rode his horse back and forth outside the city gate, and then shouted to the city gate, "Tongyuan County is famous, and the last general has already heard of it."

Merely...... Hehe, I'm afraid that the county grandfather is still young and doesn't understand the current situation, so he chooses the wrong side, and I'm afraid that he will be ruined in the future! ”

Yang Huairen smiled slightly after hearing this, and said in his heart that Lu Tingxin spoke directly, and he didn't play anything with him, so he directly picked out the matter.

In his words, Yang Huairen's guess was also proved, he was the Empress Dowager Gao's person, and the more than 1,000 soldiers of the forbidden army brought with him were also his cronies.

He ran back and forth outside the gate just now, and through his experience, he roughly guessed that the force currently led by Yang Huairen to guard the city gate was actually only one or two hundred people.

So he said it very bluntly, and in disguise admitted that the yellow silk he was holding in his hand just now was a false holy decree.
