Chapter 769: Conquest of Korea (4)
Hearing him shout like this, Lu Shunde waved his hand and said, "Let him go." Let him be with Lord Kim. ”
Jin Bingxue wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and his thumping heart was put down.
He just vaguely felt that it was a little different from what Lord Guozhang had explained, and he couldn't say what it was, it seemed that this General Lu didn't take Lord Guozhang seriously at all. Although he spared him, it was not because he was afraid of Lord Guozhang at all, but this feeling was like seeing an ant and wanting to step on it, but when he found that he was hiding in the crack in the ground, he disdained to step on it again, and Jin Bingxue felt like this. He glanced at Jin Binghua, who was also full of fear.
At this time, the footsteps outside the south gate sounded deafeningly, and when Jin Bingxue was escorted to the side, he took the opportunity to look outside the south gate, and the stars were faint, as if there were tens of thousands of horses rushing towards the city. Jin Bingxue's heart tightened, he knew that the sky was going to change.
At the same time, the west gate of the capital was also opened, and a captive army that had been prepared outside the city rushed into the city, and quickly controlled the city gate, and then made peace with the south gate, and then headed towards the east gate and the north gate......
In the prime minister's mansion, which is next to the palace, although it is late at night, it is still brightly lit. In a secret study in the mansion, Prime Minister Jin Zuogen and several members of the Jin family are still plotting important matters.
In the past year, Jin Zuogen suddenly found that he was originally in power, and suddenly some government decrees were not smooth, and there were always people who couldn't get along with him. At first, he thought it was the reason for the Fengyang Zhao family, but later, he forced Zhao Yinyong, the head of the Zhao family, to death, and the entire Zhao family has gone away, but there are still people who have been secretly against him, which makes him very puzzled. So, he sent someone to investigate secretly, and today, his subordinates finally reported the information they found to him, but it turned out to be his brother of the same clan, Jin Wengen, who is also the head of the Jin family. This surprised him, and more angry. Therefore, he invited several elders of the Jin family to come, and prepared to use the Jin family's family law to severely punish Jin Wengen.
"The head of the family, now that my Jin family has just stabilized, this twist and turn of infighting will give the Li family and the Zhao family another chance. It's better to deal with it quietly in the family, let Jin Wengen take the initiative to take the initiative, and go to the family temple to guard the ancestors, okay? The clan elders suggested.
Jin Zuogen was very dissatisfied, but he also understood the thoughts of the clan elders, so he nodded helplessly and agreed. If it weren't for the fact that Jin Wengen's daughter was the princess of the Li family, he would have to give the king a little face, he would really not want to let go of this hateful Jin Wengen, and he dared to make up his own mind, which was even more hateful than outsiders.
"Head of the house, be careful. With his status as the national abbot, Jin Wengen has mastered a lot of power. The strength of the two battalions in the capital will be under his control, and he still has to be relieved of his military power in advance, lest he jump off the wall in a hurry and ruin the Jin family's affairs! A clan elder suggested.
"That's a good point! Without further ado, let's do it early tomorrow morning! Tomorrow morning, I will order in the name of Li Yu to remove Jin Bingguo and Jin Bingxue from their positions as leaders, two clan elders, you go back tonight to select two rising stars of my Jin family, and report their names to me early tomorrow morning, so that they can take over these two positions. Jin Zuogen was very proud of his arrangement, which not only relieved Jin Wengen's power, but also curried favor with the two clan elders and made them follow him closely.
"As for the property ...... the Kimbungen family"
Jin Zuogen took a sip of a teacup, and was about to say that he was going to confiscate Jin Wengen's family property, when the secret door of the study was suddenly pushed open, and a cronie and nephew rushed in in a panic, panting and shouting: "The head of the family, the patriarch, it's not good, there are a large number of troops in the south of the city, there are thousands of people, I heard that it is the army of the Celestial Empire, which has entered the city and is rushing towards the city." ”
"What?" The teacup in Jin Zuogen's hand slammed and shattered to the ground, but he didn't care about this, grabbed the clansman and shouted, "When did it happen?" How many people did the dynasty have that day? ”
"The head of the house, not long ago, thousands of troops entered the city, although the sound of running was very soft, but it still shook the entire south of the city, and several eyeliners hurriedly came to report. There should be nearly 10,000 troops, because it is night, and it is not very clear. ”
"With so many troops, if you want to enter the city, and there is no shouting of killing, it is impossible for no one to answer!" Jin Zuogen analyzed: "The guard of the south gate is Jin Bingxue, the commander of the Wuwei Battalion, who is Jin Wengen's cronies and nephews. Yes, it must be so, Jin Bingxue, under the command of Jin Wengen, led the army of the Celestial Empire into the city! So, Jin Wengen colluded with the Celestial Empire? ”
Jin Zuogen's analysis of this suddenly broke out in a cold sweat! If that's the case, he's in danger!
Jin Wengen has been secretly against him, and he must want to seize his position as the head of the Jin family. It's a pity that I didn't find out earlier, but now I let the other party seize the opportunity.
Knowing that the situation was urgent, he took a deep breath to calm himself down. Recalling today's scene in the court, he could almost conclude that the person who led Jin Binghua must also be Jin Wengen, and it is very likely that it was this Jin Binghua who secretly colluded with the guards of the South Gate to put the army of the Celestial Empire into the capital and rush to the palace.
Thinking of the palace, Jin Zuogen immediately reacted: "Palace! Yes, Jin Binghua's ultimate goal is not only the head of the Jin family, but also the throne of the Li dynasty. Quick, gather your men and horses, rush to the palace, and protect the king! ”
Jin Zuogen's prime minister's mansion was in a mess, and he finally managed to gather more than a thousand family soldiers, and hurriedly rushed to the palace, only to find that the palace door was closed, and the figures on the palace wall were moving.
A general shouted from the palace wall: "What man? The king announced that there is a curfew in the palace today, and there will be no forgiveness for trespassers! ”
Jin Zuogen was furious, when did he dare to speak to himself like this. What king announced, on the one-third acre of land in this capital, is there anyone who doesn't know that the Li Dynasty is actually my Jin Zuogen?
The cronies around him were very understanding, and immediately walked out of the team and shouted, "Who are you?" We are the subordinates of the golden phase, and we have come to the palace to protect the king on the orders of the golden minister. Hurry up and open the palace gate, otherwise, the golden phase will be blamed, and you can't afford to eat it! ”
"I have the king's decree! How dare you not listen? The people on the palace wall held a piece of rice paper aloft alof, but who could see it clearly in the dark, "If you hit the palace gate again, kill it on the spot!" ”
"You! Ahhhhh......h Several soldiers of the Jin family in front of the palace gate were hit by muskets, this is the most primitive arquebus, although the power is not large, but the lead bullet will be full of holes in the face of these people, and a few who are not dead fell to the ground and rolled and struggled, which is very tragic.
Jin Zuogen's cronies also fell in a pool of blood, the so-called gun shot the first bird, since he dared to come forward, he naturally had the consciousness of being beaten.
When the war officially began, Kim Zuo-geun was immediately protected by the guards around him. And although the palace wall is not higher than the city wall, there are two or three people high, and there are shooting holes at intervals on it.
Jin Zuogen was in a hurry, and hurriedly ordered to attack quickly, and immediately attacked the city, he wanted to control the king Li Yu, so that he would have the name of righteousness, even if Jin Wengen had any plans, even if the army of the dynasty had any actions, he could be invincible, at least with Li Yu as a threat.
But what he didn't expect was that Jin Wengen inside the palace wall didn't think so? One had been prepared, and the other was in a hurry, so even if the gate of the palace wall was broken open by hundreds of people, the gate was blocked inside, and both sides drew their blades and muskets, slashed and shot.
At this time, two cronies came to Jin Zuogen's side and shouted: "Lord Ling, it's not good, the Celestial Empire army has taken control of the entire capital and besieged us all. ”
Jin Zuogen, who was directing the attack on the palace, was taken aback and shouted, "What? How is it possible, how many people did the Celestial Empire send? ”
"Leader, there are at least 20,000 of them, densely packed, not only occupying all the city gates, but also surrounding the entire palace!"
Jin Zuogen couldn't help but look back, and was stunned to find that a mile behind them, countless black figures with torches quietly watched them fight with the guards in the palace. For a while, Jin Zuogen was like falling into an ice cellar, and his whole body was cold.
The army of the Celestial Empire in the distance was full of black shadows, like countless fierce beasts. And the fight between him Jin Zuogen and Jin Wengen is like a huge joke.
