In the middle of this dangerous stalemate, I listened to the direction of the west gate of the city, and gradually sounded the sound of dense horses' hooves, from far to near, from small to large, in the quiet night, the hooves knocked on the bluestone paved road, like a shower, like thunder, rampant in the Miyun City full of dignitaries and nobles, without any scruples.

Du Han's face changed color, and he shouted, "Whose soldiers have entered the city?!" ”

"No need to ask, let me tell you, it's Guan San's horse team!" King Alcohol was overjoyed, his heart finally settled down, and he was proud again, pointed forward, and shouted: "Take down this group of thieves!" ”

Guan Zhuofan's horse team, famous as Rehe, these sticky guards were originally extremely arrogant, but now listening to what King Alcohol said, they have realized that they are not opponents, they look at each other, and they have a look of panic on their faces. Su Shun and Du Han's faces changed even more - they thought that Fu Cheng'an had taken over the infantry horse team, why was Guan Zhuofan still able to lead his troops into the city?

The horse team came so fast! In the blink of an eye, a large number of cavalry had swept up like a gust of wind, and without relenting, they broke into the array of sticky guards, and killed people without saying a word. Although these guards at the sticky pole are brave, where have they ever seen such a battle? One is a small number of people, the second is all infantry, and the third is intimidated by the name of "Chengnan Pass Three", under the thunderous blow, the momentum has long been timid, and almost no time to make a decent resistance, it was divided and surrounded by several times its own cavalry, and for a while, the screams were endless.

"On the orders of the king of the alcohol county, arrest the thieves, they are good friends, throw down the knife, and don't hurt your lives!" Guan Zhuofan saw that he was already in control of the situation, so he shouted. The dozens of guards who were still alive dropped their swords and knelt on the ground with their hands raised as if they had been pardoned, which was regarded as picking up a life, and the remaining few who refused to surrender and fought fiercely with their knives were cut down by the cavalry in an instant, and their corpses were scattered across their horses.

This sudden battle, without even explaining a word about the scene, suddenly rose and stopped abruptly, without the slightest drag and water, before and after, it was just tea time. Su Shun and Du Han were under the finger of the cavalry long sword, although their faces were as white as earth, and the few princes and the palace guards on the other side were also dumbfounded, and their tongues were difficult to get down - it turned out that the battle could be fought like this! In contrast, the fight between the two groups of guards simply turned into a child's house.

After looking at each other for a while, before he came back to his senses, more than a dozen guards rushed forward and tied up Su Shun and Du Han, who were surrounded by cavalry.

"Su Shun, do you still dare to resist the decree?" King Alcohol asked with a sneer, unfolding the edict in his hand.

Du Han was already kneeling on the ground in frustration, but the sturdy Su Shun still struggled to kneel. The foreman of the guard of the Alcohol Palace, pulled out his saber and said, "Su Zhongtang, offend!" With the back of the knife, Su Shun hit Su Shun hard at the crook of his knee, Su Shun only felt pain in his heart, his legs were weak, and finally he knelt on the ground with a pop, and was pressed to the ground by several guards to answer the order.

"Ordered: Su Shun is overbearing, stealing the government, harboring evil intentions, and immediately dismissed from his post and asked!"

After hurriedly reciting this one-sentence edict, King Alcohol shook it Guan Zhuofan's shoulder, expressing the meaning of reward, and then according to the original agreed method, Su Shun was handed over to Prince Rui to take care of, and he was sent back to Beijing tomorrow, and sent guards to detain everyone in Su Shun's pavilion, together with his two concubines, on the spot, and then dispose of it after the Zigong departed.

As for the Zigong Palace and the Zhenghuang Banner guards there, it was up to King Xuan to take over, which was a top priority, and there was no sloppiness at all. And the alcohol king himself wants to sit in the infantry army to lead the yamen, in case there are any more accidents. As soon as the morning dawns, the officials in Miyun City will be summoned to announce the decree and inform Su Shun of the news of his capture.

The dense clouds shook the ground, but there was no wind in the capital.

Early the next morning, Zaiyuan Duanhua and a few people had already arrived at the military aircraft office set up in Longzongmen and began to deal with official business. The two of them, along with Mu Yin, Kuang Yuan, and Jiao Youying, were the first people to return to Beijing, and they had been on duty here for several days. Last night, the emperor and the two queen mothers returned to the palace, and today they may call the military plane, so they all arrived early.

"Lao Zheng, it's better to be in Beijing." Zaiyuan said to Duanhua with emotion, while looking at the towering eaves of the Qianqing Palace through the window lattice, "The weather in the Forbidden City, the palace in Rehe can't be compared." ”

Before the words fell, I saw a few people coming in from the Longzong Gate, accompanied by a eunuch, and walked towards the Heart Cultivation Hall inside. The first person, Ling Ding Brilliant, who is not King Gong?

"Out of the demon moth!" Zaiyuan lost his voice and shouted, and when Duanhua heard it, they hurriedly came over to see.

"Gong Lao Liu wants to enter the inner court?" Several people looked at each other, and then they all reacted, and they were led by Zaiyuan out of the military plane, and with a greeting, they stopped King Gong.

"Sixth uncle," Zaiyuan lowered his head, clasped his fists and saluted, and addressed him very politely, "Where are you going?" ”

"I am specially ordered to take these people in to meet the Queen Mother." King Gong pointed to a few people behind him, and said with a smile.

Zaiyuan saw that King Gong was followed by Jia Zhen, Gui Liang, Zhou Zupei, and Wen Xiang. Jia Zhen is a scholar of Wuyingdian University, Gui Liang is a scholar of Wenhua Palace, and Zhou Zupei is a scholar of Tirenge University. Plus a Prince Pegatron, a Minister of Military Aircraft Wen Xiang, what is this going to do?

Zaiyuan muttered in his heart, seeing that the three white-haired bachelors were expressionless, their eyes were not squinting, and they knew that they were not easy to mess with, so he asked Wenxiang: "Bochuan, you are not on duty in the military plane, and you have to go in to see the Queen Mother, what's the matter?" ”

"Yes," Wen Xiang smiled apologetically, "I don't know, it's about adding a master to the emperor." ”

The little emperor who had just enlightened, when he was in Rehe, because he wanted everything to be simple, he only sent Li Hongzao, a master. Now that he has returned to Beijing, sending one or two masters is the proper meaning of the question, and it is not a major event in itself, but if this sets a precedent for the Queen Mother to summon foreign officials, it will be not trivial. Duanhua couldn't help it, and shouted: "The Queen Mother is not allowed to summon foreign officials!" Even if we want to add a master, then we have to write the will, how can we do it like this? ”

"Fourth brother," King Gong looked at Duanhua and said with a smile: "What you said, you can go back to the Queen Mother by yourself in the future." Several prime ministers have already come, and in the end, the queen mother and the emperor of the two palaces will wait inside? With that, he let go of his hand and walked inside, and Wen Xiang and the three scholars naturally followed in a grand manner.

Zaiyuan and Duanhua were on the spot, unable to make a sound - Su Shun and Du Han were tied up in Miyun last night, and they still didn't know what to do. And without these two people who are the backbone and courage, with Zaiyuan's incompetence and Duanhua's straw bag, there is no way to go away with King Gong.

A few people returned to the military plane to sit down, but their hearts were still concerned about the situation summoned by the Heart Cultivation Palace, and after a while, someone came to report that the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces was in the Heart Cultivation Palace, crying loudly, and the little emperor's cry was particularly loud.

What does this do? Several ministers were shocked, could it be that the mother and son were in deep love, and they were reluctant to let the little emperor go to the study to study? There is no such reason.

After a while, he came back again, saying that the Queen Mother is not crying now, and a eunuch has sent pen and ink into the Heart Palace.

Not crying is worse than crying - there are eunuchs to serve the pen and ink, this is to write an edict! Several ministers who took care of their lives became nervous, and they didn't know what tricks those monarchs and ministers in the Dao Heart Cultivation Hall were going to do.

The third report was simple, saying that King Gong and several important ministers had left the Heart Cultivation Hall and came to the military plane.

A few ministers who took care of their lives, with strength in their hearts, paced out of the military aircraft and met King Gong who came out of the inner court. This time, it was Duanhua who spoke first, looked at King Gong, and asked in a daze: "Sixth, what are you holding in your hand?" ”

Nature is the Holy Decree. King Gong ignored him, stood still, and said slowly: "Zaiyuan, Duanhua, Mu Yin, Kuang Yuan, Jiao Youying, take the order!" ”

"Without the hand of the minister, where did the holy decree come from!" Jaewon's face flushed. He knew that this was the last moment, and he didn't care about breaking his face, so he replied stiffly.

King Gong didn't care what he said, and read the holy decree in his hand by himself: "Order: Zaiyuan, Duanhua, and Su Shunge will be removed from their positions and handed over to the Zongren Mansion." Jing Shou, Mu Yin, Kuang Yuan, Du Han, and Jiao Youying withdrew from the military plane. To deserve the blame, Prince Pai Gong joined the scholars, the six departments of Jiuqing, and Han Zhan Kedao, respectively, and played impartially according to the law. ”

After reading it, he closed the decree and asked, "Do you obey the decree?" ”

Before the words fell, Jiao Youying, who was called "Jiao Hemp" by Cao Yuying and other people, had already groaned and fainted to the ground, but Duanhua, who was standing in front, was not as cowardly as him.

"It's a mess!" Before Zaiyuan could speak, Duanhua was already furious, and shouted, "Where are the guards of Qianqingmen?" ”

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen guards of the Qianqing Gate with knives were transferred from the Longzong Gate, and they knelt on one knee, and said in unison: "Listen to the prince's orders!" ”

"Prince Gong and Wang Yi, the chaos of the government, even these old immortals, give me them together!"

"Huh!" The guards stood up and stared at King Gong tightly.

King Gong snorted and said softly: "Fourth brother, this is the capital, should you still be in Rehe?" He waved his hand lightly and said, "Take it." ”

"Huh!" There was another violent sound, and the dozen or so Qianqingmen guards rushed over, but they pulled Zaiyuan and Duanhua off their big hats, cut their hands behind their backs, and couldn't move.

"Gong Lao Liu, you are so ruthless!" Duanhua was shocked and angry, jumping to his feet and scolding, "I was deceived by you—"

King Gong sighed and said, "Send the Zongren Mansion!" By tomorrow at the latest, you'll probably be able to see Sushun. ”
