Chapter 833: Changing the Light Against the Sky (I)

The sun is rising, the night is receding, and this long night, which makes the officials and people in the capital feel particularly long, has finally passed completely. Retreating with the night, there were also those soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp who were ordered to guard in front of the mansions of important officials and key roads, and their retreat seemed very abrupt as when they came.

Many people who had not slept all night watched these soldiers and horses retreat through the cracks in their courtyard gates, and their hearts were still full of doubts and uneasiness, and no one knew what had happened in Beijing that night. Although they had heard a burst of shouts coming from somewhere in the distance, what was going on was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Only a few wealthy families with several floors of the family were able to climb up and look into the distance when the accident happened last night, knowing that there had been an accident in the palace last night. But in the end, they don't know what the result will be.

Yu Qian had climbed to the top last night to see the chaos in the palace, and saw a fire driving into the palace, which made him feel worried. At that time, he thought of taking his family out of the palace and rushing to the palace to find out what was going on and rescue and aid the Son of Heaven. However, as soon as the door of his house was opened, hundreds of soldiers with guns and bows blocked their way.

Even if Yu Qian said good things all over again, the other party was still unmoved, and in the end, he even started directly, waving his weapon to drive Yu Qian back with his subordinates, and let out cruel words, but if anyone dared to try to escape, it would be regarded as a plot to rebel, and he would be killed.

In the face of such a tough attitude of these soldiers, Yu Qian was also a little helpless, after all, there is a good saying, Xiucai can't explain it when he meets the soldiers, even if he is far more noble than Xiucai, but when he encounters these Qiu Batou soldiers who can't be reasonable at all, he can only reluctantly accept it.

This night, Yu Qian spent the torment in his own mansion, and truly appreciated the taste of living like a year. It wasn't until dawn that someone rushed to report that the officers and soldiers surrounding their house had withdrawn. Hearing this, Yu Qian's face did not show too much excitement, because he guessed that it might be because some people's tricks had succeeded, so they withdrew the soldiers and horses that blocked him from going to the rescue.

But since there is no one to stop him, of course it is impossible for Yu Qian to continue to stay at home. Hurriedly changed into court clothes, asked the family to prepare a sedan chair, and hurried out of the door, heading straight for the palace.

In the city of Beijing, there were many officials who made the same choice as him, and under the light of the sun that suddenly rose in the east, sedan chairs and carriages walked out of various mansions, gathered along the streets and alleys, and quickly headed towards the direction of the Forbidden City like a hundred rivers returning to the sea. Except that the time seemed a little late, all this looked similar to the appearance of the ministers rushing to the palace every time there was a big court meeting in the past.

Of course, there is a difference. For example, the people on the side of these cars are completely devoid of their previous happiness and relaxation, all of them look nervous and hurried, and it is impossible to keep greeting and laughing along the road as before.

As a result, the entire streets of Beijing presented an extremely strange scene, hundreds of people and carriages continued to move forward in the same direction, but except for the footsteps and the occasional creaking sound of the sedan chair, no other movement could be heard. This made the ordinary people who had the courage to walk out of their own doors, and the ordinary people who saw all this were also stunned, and they didn't know how to react, which cast a heavy shadow on everyone's hearts.

Last night, the sudden appearance of soldiers and horses in Beijing blocking the streets and alleys and surrounding the residences of various officials is easily reminiscent of the word mutiny. And now Shi Heng, the commander of the Beijing camp, was once jealous of all officials, thinking that he had a heart of disobedience, so when this incident came out, almost all officials decided that he must have led the troops to make trouble! Now that he has withdrawn his troops and horses from outside, does it mean that his mutiny has been successful?

This thought has been a lifetime, and many people's hearts have sunk, and they just want to rush to the palace as soon as possible to find out. If the Son of Heaven really encounters something unexpected, and something happens to the Ming Society, they must do something for the imperial court.

Just when these officials saw the solemn palace wall from afar, and thus felt a little timid in their hearts, a rumbling sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from behind them. Hearing this movement, the bodies of these courtiers, who had seen a lot of wind and waves, suddenly shook, and then they lifted the side curtains with anxiety and looked behind them.

At this glance, they saw that thousands of officers and soldiers were approaching, although these people were sheathed one by one and their bows were not opened, they still made people feel a surging murderous aura rushing towards their faces, which shocked the faces of many officials.

But soon, as this group of cavalry got closer and closer, everyone saw some problems, among the hundreds of cavalry, there was also a group of Jinyi guards wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives at their waists, and judging from this posture, Jinyi Wei was clearly the stars holding the moon in the official army, especially the person in the middle of the team, who looked like the commander and commander of this army.

Lu Jin...... "Everyone quickly recognized the identity of this person, and they couldn't help but have doubts in their hearts, could it be that even Jinyiwei participated in this rebellion?" But how is this possible? Lu Zhen has always been the most trusted courtier in front of the Son of Heaven, how could he have a rebellious heart?

"Stop the car!" Yu Qian suddenly spoke, stopped the sedan chair he was riding, and then after taking a deep breath, he bent out of the sedan chair with his body up, turned around and headed towards the cavalry who were already very close.

After seeing his move, the other co-traveling carriages and horses also stopped, and although many officials did not come out of the sedans, they all poked their faces out and looked behind them with full attention.

At the same time, there were hundreds of cavalry behind him, as soon as Lu Zhen raised his hand and shouted to stop, hundreds of people and horses were completely still, and then he directly turned over and dismounted, and also greeted Yu Qian. After the two were not far apart, he clenched his fists again and gave a deep salute: "Xiaguan has seen Yu Butang." "For Qian, Lu Zhen is still very respectful.

Yu Qian hurriedly returned the salute, and then said with some difficulty: "Lord Lu, what are you...... Do you want to go to the palace? These soldiers and horses ...... "There are some things that he doesn't even know how to say for a while."

Fortunately, Lu Zhen had already guessed his true intentions, so he nodded and said, "Xiaguan is indeed going to the palace to see His Majesty." Last night, there was some chaos inside and outside the palace, and some people wanted to rebel. Fortunately, Your Majesty has been blessed by your ancestors, and this rebellion has been completely quelled, and all the traitors have been taken down. Xiaguan has just returned from the Beijing camp, and he is already in control there......"

"Is that true?" When Yu Qian heard this, his breath was smooth, and his face showed surprise. And the officials and subordinates nearby who had heard the conversation between the two of them also showed a sense of relief and ecstasy, and they were almost about to cheer.

Lu Zhen nodded without hesitation: "Xiaguan doesn't dare to lie and deceive Lord Yu on such a big matter." I'm rushing into the palace right now, and I'm telling you everything. "Your Excellency is here at the right time, I think it won't be long before Your Majesty summons the ministers, and when the time comes, you will naturally know what happened last night." In the last few words, he deliberately raised his voice so that the officials in the car present could hear it clearly.

Yu Qian really wanted to ask Lu Jin, what kind of changes happened last night, and what role he played in it. But as soon as he heard that he was going to enter the palace to see the Son of Heaven, this question on his lips could only be swallowed temporarily, and he nodded: "Okay, it seems that this time I can avoid a bigger mess in Beijing, thanks to your good thoughts." ”

"Lord Yu has an overreputation, and the subordinate is just doing my duty." Lu Zhen said modestly, then returned to his team, and with a neat jump, he remounted his horse and led the hundreds of cavalry to continue forward.

And after seeing them coming, somehow, these civil officials who used to be arrogant and always wanted to suppress the military generals actually ordered to move their sedan chairs and let Lu Zhen and his party leave first, and then continued to rush in the direction of the palace. At this time, the worried appearance of these officials has improved a lot, and at least one thing they can be sure of is that the Son of Heaven is safe and sound, and this rebellion has not shaken the foundation of the Ming Society.

After a while, this large group of people finally arrived outside the Forbidden City. When the officials got out of the sedan car one after another, gathered in front of the noon gate, revealed their identities to the forbidden army guarding there, and showed that they wanted to see the Son of Heaven, the answer they got was that the Son of Heaven still had something to deal with, and asked the ministers to wait outside the palace.

Everyone knows in their hearts that the so-called things to be dealt with must be related to Lu Jin's entry into the palace. If the emperor dared to keep his ministers out of the palace because of Lu Jin, these officials would inevitably have a big opinion, and maybe they would immediately make a noise in front of the palace.

But today, these officials seemed very peaceful, and since the Son of Heaven meant so, they stepped aside and waited quietly. Now they just want the court not to have variables, not to mention that it is obvious that Lu Zhen has made great contributions this time, who will have trouble with him at this time?

In this way, the ministers waited in front of the palace gate for half an hour, and a melodious bell rang from the palace, and then a eunuch ran out of the corner gate of the palace that suddenly opened, and proclaimed loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree, announce that the ministers will enter the palace to meet and go to the court!" ”

With this long shout, the morning dynasty, which had been suspended for more than a month, finally opened again. It's just that today's court meeting must be very different from the past......
