"Wolf smoke...... There's an enemy coming...... "All of them saw the straight, billowing smoke that went straight into the sky, and their faces changed suddenly. Although the Bitou Pass is located in the fortress of the Great Wall, it has rarely encountered such a frontal attack by the Mongolian people over the years, which naturally has a great impact on everyone.

After seeing this scene, Qingle, who was originally pale, quickly showed a hint of surprise on his face: "The Great Khan and they really accepted my proposal and used troops against this deviation." As long as we can break through this pass, the defense line of the Great Wall will inevitably be torn apart by us, and the Central Plains will be in no danger to defend! ”

Just as he was looking forward to the upcoming victory, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, and one hand grabbed him by the collar, almost lifting the whole person of Qingle: "Is it the news you passed on to the outside world that caused the Tartar army to attack?" It was Yang Chen, who noticed the change in his expression, who suddenly came over to ask him.

This sudden movement made Qingle's breathing suddenly difficult, but the smile on his face became more and more full, and he said hoarsely, "Yes, but it is too late for you to know all this now." Our Great Khan has personally led tens of thousands of Tatar elite soldiers to kill directly, and they not only know that there is your Ming Emperor in this partial pass, but also know that there is a big problem with the pass here, as long as they attack it, they can break through the pass! Although my plan did not succeed, your Emperor of the Ming Kingdom will still fall into our hands! Ha...... Hahaha......" As he spoke, he laughed proudly, and although it caused a cough afterwards, he ignored it and still laughed out loud, as if he was laughing at the fact that these Ming people would eventually fail in front of him.

"What ......" After hearing this, everyone's expressions became more and more nervous. Only then did everyone know how dangerous the situation they were facing at this time would be, especially since the Son of Heaven was still here.

"Your Majesty, the minister thought that we would send you out of the Eccentric Pass. Before the Tartars were killed, they went out through the south gate and took refuge elsewhere. Zhu Xuan hurriedly suggested. His statement was agreed by many people, especially those Heavenly Son Guards, who hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Majesty, while there is still time, we will escort you out of the Eccentric Pass!" ”

Only the emperor himself shook his head violently at this time: "No, I can't go!" ”

"Your Majesty......" Seeing that he actually said this, everyone was immediately anxious, and immediately opened their mouths to persuade again, now is not the time to be willful, once the head pass is really attacked, or even if the pass is broken, the emperor's situation is too dangerous.

But Zhengde's face was solemn at this time, and he completely lost the cynicism just now: "I said, I won't escape!" I have come to the north many times, to the foot of the Great Wall, in order to be able to fight the Tartars head-on, in order to prove to the courtiers and the world that I can lead the army to break the enemy like Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong, and be a true pioneer! ”

"Your Majesty......" Hearing him say this, Zhu Xuan was really anxious, how could an emperor make such a decision. You must know that Emperor Yingzong (Zhu Qizhen), who had such an idea at the beginning, was finally defeated in Tumubao and became a prisoner of the Tartars, almost burying the entire Ming Dynasty. Therefore, in the eyes of a civil official like him, it is the most irresponsible and deaf move to learn from Taizu Taizong to lead troops to fight today.

But before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Zhengde waving his hand: "I have made up my mind, you don't need to persuade again." Besides, even if you go out of the city now, can you really ensure safety? ”

This really made everyone a little uncomfortable to respond. Indeed, although it is reasonable to assume that the enemy should have come from the north, it is difficult to guarantee that they would not have made arrangements and set up an ambush south of the castle. Especially judging from the current situation, the enemy has already known that the Son of Heaven, who is the Ninth Five-Year Venerable, is in the Eccentric Pass, so he is naturally even more prepared.

In addition, there is another point that everyone does not dare to think about, that is, this place is still hundreds of miles away from the city in the south, if the enemy quickly breaks through the barrier, and then pursues and kills along the way, can the Son of Heaven really get out? In comparison, maybe it's safer to stay in this partial pass.

Seeing that these courtiers were hesitating, Zhengde took the opportunity to say again: "As the king of a country, how can I escape from the battle. If this matter spreads, where will I put the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, and what will those soldiers who guard the border think? Since I have encountered this incident, I naturally have no choice but to stay here and fight the Tartars to the end! After saying this, his gaze suddenly swept over everyone's faces with a rather majestic look, so that they did not dare to speak to persuade them anymore.

After all, he is the king of a country in the Ming Dynasty, and he may be a little lazy on weekdays, and he doesn't look very good, but once he really makes up his mind, it is not for these people to oppose it.

In the end, everyone could only hula and kneel, shouting in unison: "The ministers swear to follow Your Majesty to the death, break the enemy here, and protect my Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Good! With your faithful help, I am relieved. Zhengde's face finally had a hint of a smile, and he nodded with satisfaction: "In that case, then let's go to the Guancheng command post with me!" He struck the iron and gave the order while it was hot.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is too dangerous, let's stay here at the county government and wait and see." Zhu Xuan immediately persuaded with some uneasiness. But he was immediately denied by Zhengde: "I said, since I stayed here, I didn't shrink back, watching the soldiers fight hard in front, what is the difference between this and fleeing from Guancheng now?" ”

"This ......" Zhu Xuan was completely speechless at this time, and in desperation, he couldn't help but look at Yang Chen, hoping that the other party could help persuade him. But what he didn't expect was that Yang Chen said at this time: "What Your Majesty said is that at this time, I am in danger, and it is the critical moment for the upper and lower people to work together to resist the strong enemy, and we must not retreat because of concerns." My lord, I thought that if Your Majesty could go to the barracks, he might be able to greatly boost the morale of our soldiers and men, so that he could hold the fortress. ”

You say a good thing, but what if something goes wrong with Your Majesty there? Zhu Xuan had a thought in his heart, but he didn't dare to say this, so he could only keep silent with a worried face.

In fact, in the final analysis, it is because the civil officials here are only Zhu Xuan, if the officials of the DPRK and China were all present, with their sharp words, they would naturally have spoken rightly and speechlessly, obediently obeyed the advice, and left this dangerous deviation pass as soon as possible. And this is also the reason why Zhengde fled from Beijing several times, he really can't stand such constraints.

The most important question about the stay of the Son of Heaven here was finally resolved, and the guards over there also moved again, and a few people detained Qinggele, who was still sneering, and walked out, and reprimanded while walking: "Don't be complacent, after our army wins a great victory, we will put you and those prisoners to death together as a sacrifice for this city." ”

This caused a burst of laughter from Qingler: "When I see it, you will kill me at most to vent your anger, or you can exchange me for your own life." But don't bother with this, even if I die, I will not let you succeed. ”

The crowd ignored his provocative remarks, and just pushed him out. At the same time, several other people walked towards Tana, who had been stunned for a long time, and wanted to escort her away. Ever since she knew that Boyan Meng had really attacked with a large army, she was completely stunned.

The clever Tana of the ice and snow has already understood the cause and effect from their conversation, it is precisely because she trusted Qingle and brought him here that she caused such a situation, so that the people and horses on the grassland chose this place as the target of attack, knowing that the Ming Emperor was here. This filled her heart with guilt and self-blame, and even if she found out that these people wanted to take her, she would not resist anything.

But if she doesn't resist, it doesn't mean that no one will object, and at this moment, Yang Chen stepped forward again and blocked everyone's way: "Slow down, Miss Tana, he is innocent, don't wronged her!" ”

"Brother Yang......" At this time, Yang Chen not only did not blame himself and doubt himself, but also defended himself like this, which made Tana feel grateful again, her eyes were a little red, and her affectionate eyes looked at Yang Chen so straight.

"Yang Chen, don't make any more mistakes. This matter is related to the safety of His Majesty, and I can't let you mess around anymore! Dong Qian suddenly changed color and reprimanded, he really couldn't accept Yang Chen's stubbornness: "If you dare to obstruct it again, be careful that we will also see you as an accomplice of the Tartars, and we will take you down and dispose of you as well!" ”

"Even if you want to doubt me, I will say that Miss Tana is innocent, and she does not know that Chingele is a Tartar spy! We must not wronged someone who genuinely helped us! Yang Chen replied without flinching, stretching his body, and still stopped everyone tightly.

"You ......" Dong Qian's face turned blue with anger, and he immediately squatted down, and shouted: "Take him down for me!" As he spoke, he made a gesture.

But at this moment, Zhengde, who was watching all this with interest on the side, suddenly spoke: "Slow! ”

The effect of the Son of Heaven's speech was immediate, and the movements of the guards who were about to pounce suddenly stopped, and everyone looked at him, waiting for him to make a judgment on the matter. Yang Chen's heart also hung high, if the emperor also regarded Tana as a spy, then what should he do?

After seeing Zhengde's eyes roaming around the two of them, he suddenly looked at Yang Chen and asked, "Yang Chen, tell me honestly, do you have feelings for this Mongolian woman?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned, why was the emperor so interested in such a relationship between men and women?
