Chapter Twenty-Eight: When He Was Caught
After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, Tian Ergeng's face changed greatly, of course he knew what Zhu Youzhen meant, if he didn't take Cui Chengxiu, then his family's life would be threatened, he was panicked and a little angry, but he didn't dare to express the slightest dissatisfaction, and he could only agree: "Thank you for the emperor's concern, the minister will definitely complete the errand for the emperor and take down the traitor Cui Chengxiu."

Zhu Youzhen smiled, looked at Cao Wenzhao and said: "General Cao, your 20,000 troops and horses must enter the Beijing Division in the early morning of tomorrow, and all the main roads stationed in the Beijing Division. β
Cao Wen said: "The minister obeys the order." β
"Also, Governor Tian, after you enter Cui Chengxiu's mansion, you should find a little eunuch, no matter what he says, kill him with one sword." Zhu Youzhen said with a smile.
"Obey."
When the three men had understood the will, they went down and sent their men and horses.
A thousand forbidden troops, under the leadership of Hong Chengchou and Tian Ergeng, secretly went out of the interior.
Tian Ergeng went directly to the Jinyi Wei Yamen, called Li Shichao, and asked him to lead the men and horses of the headquarters, a total of 1,200 people, and after meeting with the 1,000 forbidden army, it was already late at night, Hong Chengchou looked at the time, and said to Tian Ergeng next to him: "Governor Tiandu, the time has come, you give the order." β
Tian Ergeng took a deep breath and said loudly to the more than 2,000 people in front of him: "Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the military department, is favored by the emperor, but he doesn't think about serving the country and plotting rebellion, today, we will take down this traitor." Let's go. β
"Obey." More than a thousand Jinyi guards responded loudly under the leadership of Li Shichao.
At this time, Liu Yutong, Lou Ji and others had already come to Shangshu Mansion, and after hearing Cui Chengxiu's plan, they were very shocked, because the emperor gave Wei Zhongxian an iron coupon, and he was extremely favored, when would he extend the butcher knife to Wei Zhongxian.
Liu Yu channel: "Cui Shangshu, what you said is a big deal, this really means nine thousand years old." β
Cui Chengxiu, who was sitting on the top seat, said: "General Liu, it is a matter of net worth and life, how dare this official come nonsense, this matter is indeed the meaning of nine thousand years old, if you don't believe it, come forward and take a look, is this a nine thousand year old seal?" As he spoke, he picked up the seal letter that was placed on the table.
The four of them believed most of them, but Lou Ji said worriedly: "Although we have soldiers and horses, we have no official documents or holy decrees, and we have no right to transfer troops." β
"We are all going to rebel, what kind of holy decree does it matter, when the time comes, take a fake holy decree, announce it in public, and say that the emperor is in trouble in the palace, let us transfer troops into the palace to escort, and wait until the soldiers and horses enter the palace, even if this soldier understands that it is a rebellion, there is no chance to retreat." Wang Mingshun waved his hand and said indifferently.
"Nine thousand years old and the net worth of this official will be entrusted to the four generals." Cui Chengxiu said politely, originally Cui Chengxiu, as the secretary of the military department, had a prominent status, and he was not willing to say a word to these big bosses on weekdays, but at this time, he had something to ask for, and his attitude became extremely sincere.
Of course, the four of them know that these four people don't have a good impression of Cui Chengxiu, who is the secretary of the military department, they are loyal to the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, not to mention that the establishment of a new emperor is all from the dragon's work, and it is not a problem to be promoted and make a fortune in the future, to put it bluntly, this is also a big opportunity for the four of them.
Just as a few people were plotting, a family member hurriedly came to report, and the Jinyi guard and the forbidden army surrounded the mansion.
Several people stood up in a panic, and Cui Chengxiu said to the family, "What did you say?" β
"My lord, the Jinyi Guard has surrounded the mansion, and the person leading the troops is Tian Ergeng."
"This traitor, you hurry up and gather the guards of the family, let them bring weapons, resist first, and escort the official and the four generals out." Cui Chengxiu panicked, he felt that if these four generals went out now, they would be able to mobilize people, and then they would be able to fight against the water.
Wang Mingshun was also very hurried, and said in a panic: "Master Cui, you have a secret here, let the four of us hide, at this time, we don't know the intention of Tian Ergeng, they shouldn't know what we are planning." β
"Extremely ignorant, Jinyi Wei surrounded Shangshu Mansion, if we didn't get the news, what was the reason, so far, we can only kill it." Liu Yutong pulled out the long knife on his waist and said viciously.
Tian Ergeng looked at the Shangshu Mansion in front of him, he knew that he had no way out, Luo Yang's men and horses had already entered his mansion, and he could only do what Zhu Youzhen wanted, waved his hand and said: "Rush in, if someone resists, kill on the spot." β
More than a dozen brocade guards stepped forward with hammers and smashed the door, and after a dozen slams, the door was smashed open.
Hundreds of brocade guards rushed into Shangshu Mansion, and then a pair of forbidden soldiers with bows and arrows pointed at the gate, if anyone rushed out of the gate, it would be difficult to escape death.
Hong Chengchou, who was sitting on the horse, glanced at Tian Ergeng beside him, and said softly: "Tian Dudu, do you say that there will be resistance inside?" β
"If there is no rebellion, there will be no resistance, but if there is a real rebellion, then the people in this house will definitely try their best to resist." Tian Ergeng still can't believe that Cui Chengxiu has the courage to rebel.
As soon as the words fell, there was a shout of killing in the house, Tian Ergeng's face turned pale suddenly, and he said hesitantly: "Cui Chengxiu, this traitor." β
A battle unfolded in the otherwise peaceful Shangshu Mansion.
Cui Chengxiu went to kill outside the house under the protection of more than a dozen of his own guards, these dozen or so guards are all practitioners, and they have more or less martial arts, but the Jinyi guards are outnumbered, Cui Chengxiu watched the guards around him fall one by one, and blood stained the entire compound.
Liu Yutong, who rushed out of Shangshu Mansion recklessly, saw the hundreds of archers in front of him, stood for a moment, and before he could react, he was shot by random arrows and died.
After fighting for half an hour, seven or eight out of ten of the guards of Cui Mansion died, and the rest were all wounded, lying on the ground and wailing in pain, and only Wang Mingshun was alive among the four generals, but he was also slashed on his arm, sweating profusely in pain, crying heartbreakingly, and Jinyiwei also killed and injured hundreds of people, which can be said to have injured the enemy by one thousand and self-inflicted eight hundred.
Cui Chengxiu stood next to a group of dead bodies, although he was not injured at all, he would rather be hacked to death by Jinyi Wei in the chaos than suffer the punishment of rebellion.
Tian Ergeng and Hong Chengchou led five hundred forbidden troops into the mansion.
"Bold Cui Chengxiu, you actually plotted to rebel." Hong Chengchou said first after seeing Cui Chengxiu, Cui Chengxiu is the secretary of the Ministry of War, and he is the left squire of the Ministry of War, speaking of which, Cui Chengxiu is his top boss, if Cui Chengxiu falls, he will have more or less opportunities, but Hong Chengchou is not clear that Zhu Youzhen has the best suitable candidate in his heart for the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War.
Cui Chengxiu smiled miserably: "The bones of the first emperor are not cold, and the new emperor wants to act in vain, which is really hateful, and the fate of me, Cui Chengxiu, today is the fate of the two of you in the future." β
"Even if I have any bad fate in the future, Cui Shangshu won't see it, come on, take it." Hong Chengchou shouted loudly.
Tian Ergeng waved his hand and said, "Wait." β
"Tian Dudu, what do you mean by this, is it possible that you dare to resist the decree." Hong Chengchou looked at Tian Ergeng and said with bad words.
"Of course, the official doesn't dare to disrespect the will, but the official has a sentence he wants to ask Cui Chengxiu."
Hong Chengchou snorted coldly and then stopped talking.
"Cui Shangshu, you and I are not only colleagues, but also friends in private, I really don't know, why did you rebel, maybe you can solve my doubts?"
"Tian Ergeng, you traitor, do you think the emperor can tolerate you? It's too late to regret it, and if we are killed, your death will not be far off. Cui Chengxiu said as if he had found a life-saving straw.
"Even if I don't end well in the future, I definitely won't regret what happened today, come and take down the traitor Cui Chengxiu." Tian Ergeng shouted loudly.
Two of his own brocade guards stepped forward to suppress Cui Chengxiu.
