At this time, dozens of guard foremen arrived one after another, all panting, crowded inside and outside the Xiehe Gate, cowering, and no one dared to go down to the slow lane.

At a glance, basically, the faces of each guard foreman were not red, white was not white, and they looked panicked and uncertain. They stood on the pedestal, the eight squares of the Xuan Army Guards Regiment stood under the pedestal, and the pedestal of the Concorde Gate was eight feet high, but anyone would have the feeling that the people on the pedestal were much shorter than the nails-like blue uniformed soldiers under the pedestal.

King Bo sighed secretly and said to Túrin, "I'll go and explain." ”

"Yes," said Túrin, "Lord Please." ”

Some of the foremen of this group of guards originally imagined that they were very terrible, thinking that this time, 1,380 guards would be locked up and strictly interrogated-at least, the heads and brains of these guards would not be able to escape! Assassinate Prince Xuan! If this kind of big case of rebellion and rebellion is seriously investigated, will it be repaid? "Melon vine copying" together, I don't know how many unlucky eggs to fill in?

When I think of the situation inside the prison and under the five trees, I can't help but tremble!

Xu Bao Tianyuan was on duty at the Shenwu Gate, and the foreman of the guards of the Shenwu Gate had the idea of explaining the future to his family.

Unexpectedly, not only do you not have to be a prisoner of Chu, but you don't even have to go home to pick up your children!

Truly a bonus!

Every foreman of the guards, are happy, although they are forced to suppress, still can't stop a low cheer, some people can't help but peek at the slaughter outside the Concord Gate, thinking that from today on, the soldiers in blue clothes outside the door are their own "prison army", how to kneel and lick, but to plan well.

King Bo waved his hand, and the foremen of the guards immediately retreated to the Concord Gate and cleared the doorway.

As he spoke, a mahogany square table had been moved, and a large map of the Forbidden City was spread out flat, and the four corners were pressed with paperweights.

Túrin shouted: "The battalion and company commanders are out of the ranks!" ”

Ten officers, following Túrin and King Bo, ascended the "Dumpling" slow road.

King Bo remembered something, and said: "Gushan, there are so many messengers, and they are assigned one by one, but it will take a while, and it will always be ...... Half an hour, brethren outside, do you want to ...... Take a break? ”

Túrin smiled slightly, "The prince has good intentions, but there is no need - they just stand!" ”

King Bo didn't know that Xuan Jun "stood in a military posture", two or three hours of ordinary things, half an hour, what is it?

At this moment, Wen Xiang and Cao Yuying arrived.

Thurin saluted, and Cao Yuying said happily: "Gushan, hard work!" The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother explained, and after all the matters were completed, the Xuanjun led the team and met in the Palace of Raising the Heart - it's you! ”

After a slight pause, "The Queen Mother wants to ask about Prince Xuan's situation - as soon as the assassin's matter came out, Chen was troubled and worried, so far, there is no exact news from Prince Xuan, and the 'head' is really too worried!" ”

On the way over, naturally someone had already informed Wen and Cao of the situation on the side of Xiehemen, including Xuanjun's "seizure of the palace" and Bowang's "edict", so Wen Xiang and Cao Yuying could not pass on the decree of the queen mother to the empress dowager for the "second time", otherwise, King Bo's diorama would be pierced, and the Xuanjun "seized the palace", which would become a rebellion and a mutiny.

Therefore, Cao Yuying used the saying "the queen mother and the queen mother explained, and after the matters were completed", which shows that Xuanjun's "defense of the inner house" was approved by the queen mother, and Wen and Cao did not conceal the "message" of the queen mother and queen mother - if so, it is Wen and Cao who "violated the will"; Nor did he pierce King Bo's diorama.

"Yes!"

Tulin replied solemnly, and then said: "Please don't worry too much about the queen mother, I estimate that the matter of receiving the defense is over, all the doors and halls, and the Xuan army should be in place, and the prince should enter the palace!" ”

"Oh!"

Wen, Cao, and Bo all involuntarily let out a sigh of relief.

"So," Wen Xiang said, "the prince's injuries ...... It doesn't matter? ”

Túrin groaned for a moment and said, "The knife wound on his left arm was very deep and he shed a lot of blood, but fortunately, he didn't hurt his muscles and bones!" ”

After a pause, "The left arm is hoisted, the horse can't be ridden for the time being, and when I enter the palace, I have to take a car." ”

That being said, when Prince Xuan and the assassin were entangled, there were no new injuries.

Wen, Cao, and Bo were all greatly relieved.

"Well," Wen Xiang hesitated, but still asked, "After leaving the Forbidden City, the prince ...... Where did it go? Uh, yes...... Have you returned to Chaonei North Street? ”

"No," Thurin shook his head, "Xuanjun's military doctor, on the inner street of Chaoyangmen." ”

Wen, Cao, and Bo couldn't help but exchange a look.

Túrin's statement was more subtle, but Wen, Cao, and Bo all heard it that the so-called "Chaoyangmen Inner Street" must be the "General Grain Station Office of the Songjiang Army of the Xuanxuan Army in the capital" on Chaoyangmen Inner Street.

There is the old nest of the Xuan army in the inner city of Beijing, Prince Xuan went straight to the place, and did not return to the palace of Prince Xuan in the north street of Chaonei, healing is naturally important, but the more important reason should be: only when you get there, can you mobilize the Xuan army outside the city for the first time.

This "General Grain Station Office of the Songjiang Army of the Xuanjun Army" and the two Xuanjun garrisons outside the city, Sanlitun and Fengtai Daying, were all connected by telegraph lines to the Beijing Telegraph Office.

"That, Guo Yunxian ......"

Tulin smiled slightly, "Lord Guo first arrived at the North Street of Chaonei, and naturally pounced, but he was very smart, and then he found the Inner Street of Chaoyangmen - I estimate that Lord Guo will accompany the prince into the palace together." ”

"Oh......"

"Is there anything else in the middle hall to ask?"

Wen Xiang really wanted to ask: Did Wu Jianying's department of the Fengtai battalion make any transfers?

However, all he could say was, "Well, no more ......"

"Alright," said Túrin, "let's hurry up!" ”

"Good!"

"Good!"

Túrin stared at the map, conspired for a moment, and said: "I mean, my eight companies, don't have to sprinkle the entire Forbidden City everywhere, well, just make it big!" ”

After a pause, he leaned over slightly, his fingers dotted on the map, and slowly slid through, "Mainly these places-"

"Wumen, Donghua Gate, Shenwu Gate, Xihua Gate - four city gates!"

"Southeast, northeast, northwest, southwest - four corner towers!"

"Taihe Palace, Zhonghe Palace, Baohe Hall - the three major halls!"

"Jingyun Gate to Longzong Gate - Heavenly Street!"

"Qianqing Palace, Jiaotai Palace, Kunning Palace - the last three palaces!"

"East Sixth Palace!"

"West Sixth Palace!"

"Imperial Garden!"

"Well, add the cabinet hall and the Wenhua Hall and the Wuying Palace!"

At this point, Túrin straightened up, "Almost!" In other places, such as Ningshou Palace, Cining Palace, Shou'an Palace, and the Internal Affairs Office, Xuanjun will not settle in for the time being, just like before. ”

Wen, Cao, and Bo all nodded secretly: This is a very clever arrangement.

The main purpose of the Xuan army's "defense of the Great Interior" is not to be the guard of the Forbidden City, but to protect the safety of two people: one is Prince Xuan, and the other is the Queen Mother. These two are absolutely inadequate, so naturally there is no need to allocate manpower, otherwise, the waste of troops is still secondary, and the key is to thin the protection of vital parts.

For example, Ningshou Palace and Cining Palace occupy an extremely large area, no matter which one, they are almost as large as the east and west palaces added together, but Ningshou Palace is a place for Gaozong to recuperate after his abdication, and since the Qianlong Dynasty, no one has ever entered to live - including Gaozong himself; As for Cining Palace, the north side is the retirement home of the concubines of the former dynasty, and the south side is the office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs - various workshops.

These places, don't say that Guan Zhuofan will not set foot in them, and even the queen mother and queen mother will not go. Wenzong's concubines are still living in the east and west palaces, and none of them have moved into Cining Palace - even if the queen mother and queen mother want to find someone to talk to, they will not find Cining Palace.

Even if for some special reason, the Queen Mother and Prince Xuan are going to these places, arrange the customs in advance and bring more guards with them, so there is no need for Changchuan to arm.

"But," said Túrin, "there are two places that are not part of the 'joint duty' - the original guards are to be transferred and replaced by the Xuanjun's men!" ”

Wen, Cao, and Bo were slightly stunned.

"One is the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the other is the Military Aircraft Department."

Well, in the entire Forbidden City, these two places are the places where Prince Xuan has been in and out the most times and lived in Chenguang for the longest time, and it is understandable that the guards have all been replaced by his own people.

"The guards of the Heart Cultivation Hall and the Military Aircraft Department," Cao Yuying said, "Changing to the Xuan Army is inevitable, but—"

He reminded Tulin: "Gu Shan, this time the prince was assassinated, but it was neither at the military aircraft nor in the Heart Cultivation Palace. ”

Cao Yuying means: It is not enough to just look at these two places.

"That's what Lord Cao said!" Thurin said, "When the prince enters the palace, he must enter through the Donghua Gate; Straight down, must go out from Donghua Gate, then, Donghua Gate to the military aircraft, military aircraft to the heart of the palace, this whole road, must be strictly armed! ”

After a slight pause, "Everyone, please look at the map!" ”

Wen, Cao, and Bo looked at Yutu together.

"This road," Túrin pointed to the map, "can be divided into three sections, the first section, from Donghua Gate to Concord Gate; In the second section, the Concord Gate to the Jingyun Gate - the entire east of the three major halls; The third section, Jingyun Gate to Longzong Gate - the entire heavenly street. ”

The Military Aircraft Department and the Heart Cultivation Hall are at the end of this road - the Military Aircraft Department is next to the Longzong Gate, and its back is the Heart Cultivation Hall complex.

King Bo nodded, "The second section, from the Concord Gate to the Jingyun Gate, that is, the section of the east of the three major halls, the east and west sides, can be taken care of." ”

The addition of the king is quite in place, the east and west sides of the three major halls, in the three major halls complex; On the east side of the East Palace, just outside the three major halls of the building, the road from Donghua Gate to the Military Aircraft Department and the Yangxin Palace, if you walk, you generally enter and exit the Concord Gate, and walk through the east corridor of the three major halls; However, Guan Zhuofan was given the "Forbidden City Walking Horse", if he wanted, his car could enter the Forbidden City from the Donghua Gate and go all the way to the Jingyun Gate, so that he could not enter the Concord Gate, and he had to go outside the three major halls, sticking to the walls of the three major halls.

"What the prince said is very true! So...... The Arrow Pavilion is about to focus on arming! ”

The arrow pavilion is on the east side of the three major halls, the pavilion is open space in front of the pavilion and behind the pavilion, the open space in front of the pavilion is very open, you can shoot arrows and run horses, outside the three major halls, the road from the Concord Gate to the Jingyun Gate, the Arrow Pavilion is the best monitoring place.

King Bo nodded in agreement.

Thurin pondered for a moment, "Let's put it this way, on the road from Donghua Gate to the Military Aircraft Office and the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, if Prince Xuan enters the house, there must be a Xuan army guarding the door; If Prince Xuan is outside the house, he must be out of the sight of Xuan Jun. ”

Boy.

However, Wen, Cao, and Bo all nodded slightly.

"There are a few 'nodes,'" Túrin said, gesturing on the map, "I'm going to be in control." ”

The statement of "node" is a little inconsistent, but it is understandable.

"A Qixiang Gate, a Cangzhen Gate, and a Xiqing Gate."

The fame of Qixiang Gate and Cangzhen Gate is not large, and the location is also very remote, and the people outside the palace know very little, but their role is unique and important: Qixiang Gate is the only door to enter the West Sixth Palace directly from the outside court, and Cangzhen Gate is the only door to directly enter the East Sixth Palace from the outside court.

Among the listeners, some people couldn't help but move in their hearts: the Forbidden City has hundreds of doors and thousands of households, these two so-called "nodes" are very inconspicuous, but they can't be seen by looking at the map so casually!

Family...... I already knew it!

was in a state of uncertainty, and under the east corridor, a person came out, panting.

"Lord Wang, Wenzhongtang, Lord Cao...... Tujun Gate! ”

When I saw it, it turned out to be Meng Jingzhong, the head of Zhongcui Palace.

What's going on?

"Well, the King of Alcohol County is here, and he is outside the Heart Cultivation Palace...... What a fuss! ”
