Chapter 830: The Change of Seizing the Door (12)

Suddenly, Cao Jixiang's wild laughter turned into crying, and tears flowed down his face: "Why...... Why is this happening? I've calculated everything, but why is it the way it is...... I'm not willing to ......."

He really has a reason to be unwilling, this time he arranged it perfectly, not only did the army rise suddenly and smoothly, but also took care of the outside of the palace, and he had already killed all the way to the Qianqing Palace and the Son of Heaven. In just a few moments, you can kill the Son of Heaven and take everything into your own hands, only that last step is missing!

But just such a step, but it is close to the end of the world, and success or failure is reversed! Although he was only a few steps away from the Son of Heaven at this time, surrounded by the elites of the Beijing camp who were unsheathed and ready to fly, it was completely impossible to pose a threat to Zhu Qiyu at all.

And his accomplices and subordinates had already completely lost the fighting spirit to resist at this time. Not only because of the fact that they discovered that the enemy was outnumbered, but also because they had lost the courage to rebel in the face of today. As those officers and soldiers quickly stepped forward, picked up their swords and guns and aimed them at them, shouted at them, and told them to drop their weapons, these people decisively put down their weapons and obediently knelt on the ground and tied them.

And Cao Jixiang, who saw all this, was even more heartbroken, and almost spurted out a mouthful of blood. But in the face of those officers and soldiers who rushed up to take him down, he couldn't even show the ability to resist, so he could only stare at Shi Biao not far away, and shouted: "Shi Biao, you will definitely regret it!" Your two uncles and nephews will definitely pay for this! The voice was like a wolf howling, full of resentment and curse.

In the face of these curses, Shi Biao was not moved at all. From the moment he decided to stand on Lu Jin's side and made a series of previous decisions, he had put all his concerns aside. What's more, this time he obviously made the right bet, and the credit for saving the Son of Heaven and quelling the rebellion in the palace is real.

Therefore, when he set his eyes on Lu Zhen and the Son of Heaven, his face was full of humble joy, and with this credit, his long-standing ambition would inevitably be realized.

Lu Zhen nodded at Shi Biao gratefully, if he hadn't arrived in time this time, there would be no room for recovery. Then, he approached the emperor, who also looked excited, and whispered a few words: "Your Majesty, although this Shi Biao is Shi Hengzi's nephew, he knows right from wrong, and under the persuasion of the minister, he has already abandoned the darkness and turned to the light. ”

"Good...... Shi Qing is really a rare loyal man in my Ming army, and he can enter the palace in time to rescue him today, and I should remember it. However, now that the major events are over, there is still chaos in Beijing, and I hope that you can work together with Lu Qing to calm down the chaos as soon as possible and restore stability to the city of Beijing. Can you do it? After this incident, the emperor was already exhausted and physically and mentally exhausted, but he still encouraged Shi Biao with a few words of encouragement, and gave birth to the idea of making great use of him.

Shi Biao was naturally thorough, and immediately knelt down again and bowed his head: "The minister's decree." The ministers will definitely assist Lord Lu to quell the rebellion in the capital together, and please rest assured. ”

"Okay......" The emperor nodded, and then he took out a gold medal carved with a five-clawed golden dragon from his sleeve, and solemnly put it in Lu Jin's hand: "Lu Qing, this is my talisman, and with this, you can control all the soldiers and horses in the capital." You will go out of the palace with Shi Qing, and you must wipe out all the traitors' accomplices! ”

As the king of a country, Zhu Qiyu naturally has some important things around him. In addition to the jade seal, the gold medal that can dispatch dozens of troops in the capital is the embodiment of the military power of the Son of Heaven. At this time, he was able to hand it over to Lu Jin, which proved his absolute trust in him, which was equivalent to completely entrusting his safety and success to the other party.

Lu Zhen held the gold medal in both hands, knelt on the ground at the same time, and solemnly kowtowed: "The minister's order." Your Majesty rest assured, this time the ministers will sweep away the treacherous evil in the capital, and return me to a bright and bright world! After saying this, he quickly got up, and after exchanging a look with Shi Biao, he walked out quickly.

The Son of Heaven breathed a long sigh of relief, and after taking a deep look at Lu Jin, he was supported by two chamberlains and returned to the palace.

In fact, he had no other choice to make such a decision. Because his weak and long-term sick body could not support him to go out of the palace to crusade against those rebellious ministers, he could only unconditionally believe in Lu Jin, the courtier who saved him from danger several times.

"Lu Qing, in the past few years, you have helped me many times, saved me many times, and almost never let me down. I hope that this time, you will not disappoint me, and that this rebellion and calamity will be put down as quickly as I hoped. After lying back in bed, the emperor finally muttered a silent sentence in his heart, and then fell asleep because of exhaustion.

At this time, Shi Biao had already arranged hundreds of soldiers to guard inside and outside the Qianqing Palace to ensure the safety of the Son of Heaven, and at the same time bound and guarded Cao Jixiang and other rebels. It wasn't until he was done with all this that he turned his head, looked at Lu Jin with a somewhat complicated gaze, and asked inquiringly, "Lord Lu, do you think it's appropriate for the last general to make this arrangement?" ”

Lu Zhen was helped to wrap his wounds, and was hissing in pain, when he heard this, he nodded and said: "General Shi has been in battle for a long time and has rich experience, so naturally he can't go wrong with such an arrangement." And after this incident, this palace should already be safe, and we now have to deal with the rebels outside. Especially...... Shi Heng. ”

"Yes, but with His Majesty's gold medal talisman, presumably the Jingying army should understand the final annexation, right? Shall we go? Shi Biao said with envy.

To say that the Son of Heaven was not moved when he took out the gold medal just now is false, it is the mobilization and command of all the soldiers and horses in the entire Beijing City. As long as you master it, even if you want to do it again, it's a breeze. However, this is not something he can control, and the Son of Heaven will only hand over this gold medal to someone more worthy of his trust.

"Of course, that's it. The sky is almost dawn, and there can be no more chaos in the capital. Especially in Jingying, I don't know what Shi Heng will do. Lu Zhen said, stood up, and strode out.

With his move, Qinggele, Yao Gan and other Jinyi Guard's subordinates also stood up, followed closely behind, and walked towards the palace gate. And Shi Biao was slightly stunned, gritted his teeth, and followed with his subordinate officers and soldiers. He had already heard a strong killing intent from Lu Jin's words, and it was obvious that this time Shi Heng's fate would be difficult to change.

Soon, however, he was relieved again. After all, this is the path that my uncle has chosen, and any fate is self-inflicted. Subsequently, he was even a little lucky, fortunately he listened to Lu Jin's persuasion and chose this completely different path......

was thinking about walking out, but Shi Biao suddenly found that Lu Jin's footsteps stopped. I saw the corpses in front of me, under the light of the torches, and they were all the palace eunuchs who had just rushed to save King Jiaqin, but were slaughtered by the rebels.

Seeing this, Shi Biao couldn't help but sigh: "These people are loyal, and ......they should be buried well afterwards" But to his surprise, Lu Jin didn't answer this. It was only at this time that he realized that Lu Jin, who had stopped walking, did not actually look forward, but looked back and up. This made him even more curious, and immediately followed the other party's gaze and looked up.

So, he saw a somewhat thin and rickety figure standing on the palace wall of the Qianqing Palace, not knowing what he was thinking, motionless.

After discovering this person, the officers and soldiers below immediately became vigilant, and they all picked up their bows and crossbows and aimed upward. As long as Shi Biao gave an order, they would shoot the person above into a hedgehog with random arrows in the blink of an eye. However, this is the palace after all, and even Shi Biao would not dare to make such a mistake, so he asked with some doubts: "Lord Lu, who is this person?" ”

He ...... is the emperor who is one step away from becoming the king of a country again. Lu Zhen replied softly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. In his mind, Zhu Qizhen may have chosen to wait because he had a glimmer of expectation. But now, seeing that Cao Jixiang and the others have all been taken, and today's palace change has completely failed, isn't the most important thing he should do is to end his life?

Because at present, the charge of collusion and rebellion with Cao Jixiang is completely unwashable, such a serious crime, even his current identity is afraid that he will not escape death. Since both horizontal and vertical are deaths, Zhu Qizhen, as the former son of heaven, should naturally choose a more dignified way to die. For example, he killed himself on the palace wall of this Qianqing Palace, or even more tragically, jumping down directly...... But why did he just stand there?

In fact, Zhu Qizhen had thought about these thoughts of Lu Zhen before, and he also knew that suicide was the final destination. At least in this way, for the sake of the reputation of the heavenly family, the emperor will cover up the guilt for him, and blame all his death on Cao Jixiang and other rebels.

However, when he really wanted to do this, the cowardice in his heart made it impossible for Zhu Qizhen to force himself to commit suicide at all. Whether it was to kill himself by drawing a knife or jumping from this wall several feet high, he did not have the courage to do it.

In fact, in the final analysis, Zhu Qizhen is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Otherwise, he would not have fallen into the hands of the Mongols after the defeat of Tumubao and still survived. It will not be confined in Nangong for the past few years, but it has always been alive.

Therefore, even at this time, the road ahead has been completely cut off, Zhu Qizhen still does not have the courage to end himself, so he can only stand there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

After waiting for a while, still not seeing any action, Lu Zhen had to sigh lightly: "General Shi, send someone up to take him down too." When Your Majesty has enough spirits, it will not be too late to deal with him......"

In three days, fourteen chapters, the essence has been exhausted, the person is not dead, whether there are any votes, how many votes 。。。。。 (So wet, so wet...) )
