When there was a mutiny in Quanzhou, Emperor Longwu was discussing with He Wusu, Fu Guan and others, and suddenly heard a big chaos outside the cabin, everyone hurriedly went out of the cabin to check, and saw that there were chaos in the city of Quanzhou, and the sound of killing was loud, and they were all shocked.

Emperor Longwu's camp was set up in the area of the wharf outside the city, garrisoned by the elite of the Imperial Forest Army and the Qinwang Army, and there was no blind rebel army to attack for the time being, but there was such a big chaos in the city of Quanzhou, and the soldiers in the camp were all panicked.

"Which family of soldiers and horses are involved in the rebellion? Who is the leader of the generals? Hearing that it was the conflict caused by the rebellious soldiers and the hungry people grabbing food, Emperor Longwu's heart was relieved, and he shouted: "Come on, put on armor with me, I will personally enter the city to quell the chaos." ”

Fu Guan was shocked, and hurriedly dissuaded: "Your Majesty's golden body, how can you easily take risks?" As long as His Majesty pardons these rebellious troops, the old minister is willing to ask for a will and immediately enter the city to quell the mutiny. ”

"It's useless for you to go, only if I show up in person can this catastrophe be quelled." Emperor Longwu smiled bitterly, there were not many civil and military officials sitting in the city of Quanzhou, but the mutiny still happened, it can be seen that these Qiu Ba have no fear of the court officials, and only the emperor himself can suppress them.

"Even so, Your Majesty doesn't have to go in person, the incident happened in a hurry, in case there is a thief who sets up a treacherous plan, the imperial battalion soldiers and horses may not be able to protect everything......" He Wuyu hurriedly stepped forward and stopped in front of the gangplank with Fu Guan, not letting Emperor Longwu get off the boat.

"Sir is very worried, but he can't care about it now." Emperor Longwu's face was full of bitterness, and he pointed to Quanzhou City not far away: "These sons and daughters who are killing each other are all loyal soldiers of the imperial court, in order to preserve some vitality for my Ming Dynasty, I must immediately enter the city to appease the army!" ”

Emperor Longwu has been in turmoil all these years, and the soldiers who can still follow him are his most loyal supporters, but they suffered heavy losses in this senseless mutiny, which made Emperor Longwu feel distressed, and he hurriedly bypassed He Wusu and Fu Guan, jumped on the pedal and walked briskly to the shore.

At this time, a group of people rushed into the outside of the camp, and ran towards the imperial boat with a bang, and after seeing Emperor Longwu, everyone quickly knelt down, and shouted loudly for the first few people: "Your Majesty, go quickly, the western thief has entered the whole state!" ”

"Isn't it a rebellion to grab food? How can there still be thieves involved? Emperor Longwu was shocked again, if this chaos was caused by the Western Army, even if he entered the city in person, he might not be able to quell the rebellion, and since the Western Army had already extended its hand, Quanzhou was actually very dangerous.

"The city of Quanzhou is full of Western thieves, secretly stirring up the hearts of the army, which is why this chaos is caused." Ma Jixiang, the former commander of the Jinyi guard, said: "The scouts under Weichen have just found out, in addition to these fine works, Liu Wenxiu, the western thief giant, led an army of 50,000 to leave Guilin, and the soldiers were divided into two routes, and they were rushing to Quanzhou, and thousands of cavalry lost their traces after traveling thirty miles to the north, most of them wanted to detour to outflank the downstream of the Lingqu and cut off our waterway, the city of Quanzhou was small, and it was difficult to resist the thieves, so please make a decision as soon as possible!" ”

With a buzz, everyone on the royal boat exclaimed, these civil and military generals and personal guards were all killed by the Western army in Guilin, and suddenly heard that the Western army was chasing after them again, and they were all so shocked that they lost their dignity in front of the king.

Emperor Longwu also immediately realized the danger, and didn't care about these guys, in recent years, he has been diligent and inquisitive, and has a bit of military vision, knowing that the cavalry of the Western Army from Liukou is sharp, if they cut off the waterway, Quanzhou City is a situation of catching turtles in an urn, in front of the menacing Western Army, Emperor Longwu's army is likely to be wiped out, and he himself is also in great danger.

"Is the news true? Can a scout be sent to confirm? Emperor Longwu held the hope of just in case and asked several other people, but the group of people who came with Ma Jixiang all said that they had received a report from the scouts that the Western army was indeed attacking on a large scale, and it was true, and it would be too late if they didn't break through.

Among these people, there are generals who lead the troops, civil officials who manage the army, and two henchmen and eunuchs that Emperor Longwu relies on, plus Ma Jixiang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Emperor Longwu can't believe it, Ma Jixiang and Chu Xun have always been very close, most of these civil and military generals belong to the imperial party and the southern party, it is impossible to coax the emperor in this kind of major event, and Emperor Longwu no longer has any doubts.

"In that case, Jeonju can't stay ......"

After a brief discussion with He Wuyu, Fu Guan and others, everyone agreed to break through. The Ling Canal is narrow and shallow, since Liu Wenxiu sent thousands of cavalry to the downstream, it is easy to fill the river with wood and stones, and it is already very unsafe to take the waterway, Tang Laihe, one of the cabinet auxiliary ministers, proposed to add you, and the Imperial Forest Army escorted Emperor Longwu and the princes of the imperial court, and immediately went southeast to the South Ridge and went to Lianzhou, Guangdong. "Going to Lianzhou? Why go to Lianzhou? Why don't you go to the nearest Yongzhou Mansion in Huguang? Fu Guan immediately objected.

"Although Yongzhou Mansion is close, I can't go now!" Tang Laihe glanced at him confidently and said:

"Liu Wenxiu knew that we were going to Yongzhou Mansion and would inevitably send troops and horses to intercept it, so we could only avoid the real and make a detour to Lianzhou......"

Among the ministers of civil and military affairs, eight out of ten agreed to go to Lianzhou, and even Ma Jixiang, who was very close to Chu Xun, said that the direction of Yongzhou Mansion was not safe, and the voices of Fu Guan and a few others insisting on going to Huguang were annihilated in a blink of an eye, and they were so angry that their white beards trembled.

Regardless of Huguang or Guangdong, Emperor Longwu did not want to go, but compared with the two, he was more resistant to going to Huguang, and now since he must leave Guangxi, the lesser of two evils, and finally tend to go to Guangdong, so everyone reached an agreement, immediately abandoned the boat and landed, and broke through in the direction of Lianzhou, Guangdong.

Emperor Longwu gave an order, the civil and military officials and all the soldiers and horses in the camp immediately took action, and prepared to set off with rare high efficiency, and in less than half an hour, they surrounded Emperor Longwu and left the camp and rushed to the southeast.

There were no twenty miles to go out, but Emperor Longwu suddenly stopped driving, and ordered the whole army to stop advancing, and a group of civil and military ministers hurriedly rushed to the front of the car, only to see Emperor Longwu tightly with a straight face, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of anger: "The princes live in a high position in the temple, and the moral articles are famous all over the world, but they still do a good show!" Tell me, what's going on today? ”

Tang Laihe, a university scholar, and Wang Kun, the eunuch who held the seal of the celebrant and the celebrant of the ceremony, glanced at each other, and knelt down together to plead guilty: "The crime of the minister deserves death, and the department of the western thief Liu Wenxiu is still in Guilin, and it will not attack in the future." ”

The opening of the army is not a trivial matter, whether it is a hasty action or early preparation, there are many differences that are difficult to hide, Emperor Longwu has a rough life, not the kind of deep palace emperor who does not know the world, he watched coldly on the march, and has found all kinds of flaws from the clues, and then asked a few people, he knew that he was likely to be deceived and tricked him into leaving Quanzhou for Guangdong, but he also hoped that Tang Laihe and others did not know at first, but they were just deceived by their subordinates who were greedy for life and afraid of death, and at this moment I heard Tang Laihe and Wang Kun admit in person, Dengshi was furious.

One is the cabinet elder who belongs to the imperial party, and the other is the first eunuch in the inner court, these two people collude and are indeed capable of directing this big drama, how much Emperor Longwu trusted the two of them before, and how angry he is now, he picked up the teacup in his hand and smashed it hard, and smashed it in front of Tang Laihe and Wang Kun, and the fragments and tea splashed all over his body: "This is the crime of bullying the king, the crime of bullying the king!" Where is Jinyiwei? Take them down and punish them severely! ”

Ma Jixiang fell to his knees, took a few steps on his knees, and kowtowed heavily: "Mr. Nandou and Wang Gonggong have unavoidable hardships, and I ask Your Majesty to be gracious." ”

Emperor Longwu was stunned for a moment, two fierce lights suddenly shot out of his eyes, and he stared at Ma Jixiang viciously: "Yes, your Jinyi Wei is also involved, but it makes me so bitter!" ”

Ma Jixiang didn't dare to look at him, just lying on the ground and kowtowing vigorously, but it was a tacit attitude, Emperor Longwu was even more annoyed, his voice raised sharply, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at the ministers of civil and military affairs and roared: "You, you, and you, you are all colluding together, and you are only hiding from me, isn't it?" Hmph, you dare to commit such a big crime only when you think that the law does not blame the public, don't blame me for being ruthless now! ”

Emperor Longwu has been working hard for so many years, and his control over the imperial court is still very strong, even if Tang Laihe, Wang Kun and other ordinary civil and military officials have formed an alliance, Emperor Longwu is also confident that he can control the situation, at this moment, he even moved to kill, ready to cut off a few heads for the civil and military officials to see, in order to set an example.

In addition to Tang Laihe and others, among the civil and military ministers and eunuchs present, there are still a few who are really involved in this matter, after all, such an important confidential matter, it is impossible to make a storm in the city in advance, and the officials of Chu Xun's faction are the key targets of prevention, Fu Guan and Cheng Wen don't know anything about it, and it is impossible to collude with Tang Laihe, Wang Kun and others.

He Wuyu looked left and right, and stepped forward to salute: "Your Majesty is angry, Tang Nandou and the prince have always been loyal to Your Majesty, although they have made a big mistake today, there must be inside information, so it is better to ask the ins and outs first and then punish them." ”

Emperor Longwu asked coldly, "Mr. Xianggang, are you also involved?" ”

He Wuyu sighed, shook his head and said: "The old man didn't know about it in advance, but now that this situation has been made, the old man is not to blame, and he should be guilty of the same crime as the princes." ”

With the strength of the imperial party alone, it is impossible to cover the sky with one hand and complete this kind of big action of hiding from the sky and crossing the sea, He Wusu and Emperor Longwu are very clear that the southern party, which is the most powerful in the imperial court, must have reached some kind of alliance with the imperial party, so they dare to risk the disapproval of the world, almost openly turning their faces with Chu Xun, and at the same time forcing the palace to Emperor Longwu.

Forcing the palace, this is forcing the palace!

It's time to make a decision.

Wonderful!
