Chapter 969: Chaos (10)

(Today's update is 20,000 words, all over!) )

Just when both sides had illusions about this support soldier, Zhu Xin and the horse team had already rushed to the Donghua Gate.

The imperial city of Beijing was demolished in later generations, and only part of the ruins of the imperial city roots remained. However, in the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the tall city walls, there was a moat, and there was a road about 30 zhang wide outside the moat, which was used to isolate the boundary between the residences outside the imperial city and the imperial city.

In the past, Donghua Gate was rarely visited here, after all, this is a palace and a heavy place, and there is nothing to do, who can come here to play when they are full? But now Donghua Gate has become a mess, but now everyone has stopped and looked at the reinforcements that are coming. The support army did not immediately go into battle to help that side, but separated the two sides of the brawl on the street outside Dong'anmen.

The smaller number of people on Dong'anmen Street is Li Yuanyin's gang who rushed to the rescue, although he is in the name of rescuing the prince, but he does not want to fold his old bottom here. Li Yuanyin looked at Zhu Xin who was riding a horse and asked loudly, "Zhu Xin, which group are you?" Helping the crown prince or helping the rebel King of Qin? ”

Zhu Luo, who was next to Zhu Xin, was just about to speak, but Zhu Xin said first: "Several princes, the last general doesn't know what is happening here, so I can only ask the princes to gather their own soldiers, and then go back to the house to wait for Your Majesty's holy judgment!" ”

No one can be offended by Zhu Xin's words, I don't know what you are doing to fight for life and death, but Lao Tzu is to maintain law and order in the capital, so please ask a few princes to collect troops and return to the house, what should I do when the emperor comes back!

Zhu Xin's calculations are very good, but he forgot that these few are either princes or concubines, not to mention that you are a deputy general of the general army, even if Zhu Hongyi, the minister of the guard, comes in person, it may not be easy to do it.

Zhu Jiang knew that something had happened to the Xishan camp when he saw that it was not Qi Huan, and hurriedly said loudly: "Zhu Xin, this king is ordered to control the infantry to lead the yamen, you should listen to this king!" Now the crown prince Zhu Hai is plotting rebellion, this king has received news that the prince wants to hold the imperial concubine hostage to ascend the throne, and now this king orders you to attack Donghuamen and catch Zhu Hai's rebellion! ”

Zhu Xin heard Zhu Jiang say this, but he didn't know what to do, what he said just now was beautiful, don't fight and wait for the emperor to come back. But he doesn't have the emperor's holy decree in his hands, and at the same time, Zhu Jiang is a controlled infantry yamen appointed by the emperor, so what should he do if the official in charge issues an order to him?

Zhu Luo heard Zhu Jiang say this and said angrily: "Second brother, what did you say? What are you doing? Here is a warrant from the Minister of the Guard, ordering Zhu Xin, the chief soldier of the Xishan Battalion, to quell the rebellion in the capital! ”

Zhu Jiang heard Zhu Luo move out of Zhu Hongyi, and hurriedly said: "Sister Changping, the ancestral harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, what qualifications do you have to say that this king is a woman who marries!" There is also Zhu Hongyi's leading guard and the minister of the interior should be in charge of the palace guards, and now he is in charge of the affairs of the outer city, he has too much to manage! ”

Zhu Jiang and Zhu Luo are fighting here, but it is difficult to break Zhu Xin, he does not have the emperor's holy decree in his hands, and it is not right to listen to anyone now. According to the normal rule, he should be under the command of the infantry yamen, so Zhu Jiang was right to order him. But Zhu Hongyi was in charge of the guards of the imperial city, and now that the imperial city was attacked, he couldn't watch it, which made Zhu Xin very difficult.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and another team of horses came to hear the sound, and there were quite a few of them.

Zhu Jiang was overjoyed when he heard this voice, he knew that this was the reinforcement of the Tongzhou battalion, and Meng Qingjiu, the chief soldier of the Tongzhou battalion, was an old man of the second division and an old comrade-in-arms of Jiang Pengju, so he was naturally his own person.

Zhu Hai on the Donghua Gate heard the sound of horses' hooves and knew that something was wrong, this must be Zhu Jiang's reinforcements. Zhu Hai stood on the city wall and shouted: "Zhu Xin, Zhu Jiang is the one who plots rebellion, and now take Zhu Jiang down quickly while the reinforcements are not coming!" ”

Zhu Hai said this, but it was too late, Zhu Jiang had a verbal fight with Zhu Luo just now to delay time, and now he had gathered more than a thousand pro-corps under him, and it was not at all possible to rush in for a while.

Meng Qingjiu is a native of Guangdong, and he joined Zhu Hongsan's New Army in Guangdong. Meng Qingjiu rode into the crowd on a fast horse and shouted in his characteristic Cantonese accent: "The Holy Decree has arrived!" ”

Meng Qingjiu's voice stunned everyone inside and outside Donghua Gate, holy decree? The emperor is now in Liaodong, where did the holy decree come from?

Meng Qingjiu didn't care about the others, rode on his horse and took out a bright yellow scroll from his arms, and said loudly: "The Holy Purpose is here, do you want to resist the decree?" ”

This sentence is too heavy, no matter what, the imperial power is the greatest, and all the soldiers quickly put down their swords and guns and knelt down on their knees when they heard Meng Qingjiu say this. Zhu Jiang originally thought that Meng Qingjiu was his own person, but he didn't know where he got the holy decree, Zhu Jiang knew that he was going to go today, but he had no choice but to kneel down and listen to the decree!

Meng Qingjiu saw that everyone inside and outside the Donghua Gate had already knelt down, opened the holy decree and read it aloud: "I am fortunate to patrol Liaodong, Meng Qingjiu is responsible for the affairs inside and outside the capital, and he can make decisions at the moment of emergency!" ”

It turned out that Zhu Hongsan had already left behind when he left Beijing, if these sons were safe and sound, it would be fine, if the fight started, this Meng Qingjiu would come forward to clean up the mess, and gave this Meng Qingjiu the power to make a decision on the spot.

Zhu Jiang heard Meng Qingjiu recite the holy decree and knew that the general trend was gone, so he sat on the ground and was stunned. Ma Rufeng and Jiang Pengju, who were beside him, knew that this matter was over today, but their matter was not over, Zhu Jiang didn't know, but they would definitely die as fellow party members.

Ma Rufeng looked at Jiang Pengju with a miserable face, and said with a wry smile: "Jiang Blind, you and I are still a bad move in the end!" Now that things are like this, let's see you in the next life! After Ma Rufeng finished speaking, he used a waist knife to kill himself.

Jiang Pengju saw Ma Rufeng's corpse lying sideways, and also smiled: "Haha, Lao Tzu is enough!" After saying that, he took out his musket and shot himself.

The two were afraid of Zhu Hongsan's persecution and suicide, but Jin Daoming did not have this courage, he trembled his hands and wanted to shoot himself, but his hands were like he had no strength, and he didn't have the strength to raise the musket.

At this time, Meng Qingjiu's men had already rushed to Jin Daoming, knocked down Jin Daoming's musket with a sheath, and tied him up firmly.

Jin Daoming sighed when he saw this, thinking that the relationship between his wife and the emperor was not ordinary, and maybe he could escape with his life.

Several other middle-level generals were arrested one after another, but Zhu Jiang was the prince after all, and no one dared to arrest him without the emperor's exact order.

Meng Qingjiu came to Zhu Jiang and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Qin, you will be escorted back to the house by the last general!" As for what will happen in the future, we will wait for Your Majesty's departure! ”

Zhu Jiang also wanted to die, but he really couldn't do it at the end, so he had no choice but to hope that his father would spare him.

After Zhu Jiang's side was settled, Meng Qingjiu came to Li Yuanyin, the king of Jianning County, and said politely: "Lord of the county, please hand over your own soldiers, and they will be under the jurisdiction of the last general for the time being, and they will definitely be returned after His Majesty's decree!" ”

Today, Li Yuanyin has made a great contribution, and the credit for saving the prince is not small. Li Yuanyin said with a smile: "This is natural, come here!" You follow General Meng first, and wait for Your Majesty's Holy Judgment! ”

Seeing that Li Yuanyin was so cooperative, Meng Qingjiu nodded, and then said to the brocade-clothed guard Qianhu on the city wall: "Who is the brocade-clothed guard Qianhu on duty at Donghuamen tonight?" ”

The Qianhu hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said, "Go back to your lordship, the last general Jinyi Wei Qianhu Du Chong!" "Meng Qingjiu now represents the emperor, and that brocade-clothed Wei Qianhu doesn't dare to take it.

Meng Qingjiu nodded and said, "You did a good job tonight, I will tell the emperor about your achievements in defending the city tonight!" Now you will escort His Royal Highness the Crown Prince back to the East Palace, and you must protect the Prince's safety! You know? ”

Everyone is a smart person, that Du Qianhu knows that this is to spy on the prince, after all, this matter is too complicated tonight, who knows what the prince is doing inside. That Du Qianhu followed the prince to fight just now, that was his duty, and now that he has a holy decree, he naturally has to listen to the emperor.

Zhu Hai saw that his father still had such a hand in the capital, but now that something has happened, what should he do? I can only ask God to bless the smooth operation of Shenyang, and when the time comes, my father and emperor will fall into the hands of Guo Huan, and then I can safely ascend the throne and become the emperor.

This is the cause and effect of the rebellion in the capital in the fifteenth year of Shenwu, Zhu Hongsan stayed in Yongping Mansion for three days, Li Chengen returned to the capital and immediately activated the Dongchang intelligence agency, naturally all kinds of things are known in detail.

Zhu Hongsan saw that the intelligence sent by Dongchang was so angry that he was angry, Zhu Hongsan knew that his sons were not worried, but he didn't expect to take advantage of his absence to move the knife soldiers. Zhu Jiang, this kid is too bold, what does he want to do? Do you want to come to Xuanwumen again?

At this time, Zhu Hongsan didn't know the prince's arrangement in Shenyang, Zhu Hongsan thought that this time it was just Zhu Jiang who wanted to learn from Xuanwumen to kill the prince, and the prince was just defending himself.

Zhu Hongsan rubbed his head with his hands after reading the information of Dongchang and said: "Lao Li, pass the order down and demote Zhu Jiang, a rebel, to a concubine!" Ma Rufeng plotted against the whole family! Ma Shaoguang's whole family was beheaded! Jiang Peng lifted the three clans! The three clans of Jindao Mingyi! ”

Ma Rufeng and Ma Shaoguang are both Ma Jiyuan's sons, and Zhu Hongsan hasn't figured out how to deal with Ma Jiyuan yet, so he just cleaned up Ma Rufeng and Ma Shaoguang. However, Zhu Hongsan is not ready to let Ma Jiyuan go, after all, there is a powerful Apocalypse Second Year Alumni Association standing behind Ma Jiyuan, and what Zhu Hongsan is afraid of is how deeply Ma Jiyuan was involved in this incident.

Zhu Hongsan thought for a while and said: "Also, escort Ma Jiyuan, who is idle at home, into Beijing, and you Dongchang should interrogate him well whether he is involved or not!" ”

Li Chengen was so frightened when he heard Zhu Hongsan say this, he hurriedly bowed down to accept the order, Ma Jiyuan and his two sons are different, Ma Jiyuan was one of Zhu Hongsan's four major strategists back then, and moving him means going against the entire Huguang Group, which is a big case.

Zhu Hongsan waved his hand to let Li Chengen step back, Zhu Hongsan thought much farther than Li Chengen, except for Ma Jiyuan and Ma Mingyuan, Ma Mingyuan has no news about this Beijing incident, Zhu Hongsan doesn't believe that Ma Mingyuan is not involved in such a big event? Zhu Hongsan now has to think carefully about what he should do next.
