In Jurong County, more than 80 miles outside Tianjing City, Wei Changhui was lying tiredly on the couch in the back hall of the county government, and the three maids were carefully kneading his legs. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

More than ten days ago, he happily led his 3,000 soldiers to leave Tianjing and set out to conquer Jurong and Lishui counties. I thought that I could follow behind the army of Dongwang's cousin and Guozong Yang Fuqing to reap the merits of war.

Unexpectedly, Yang Fuqing directly took the waterway to reach Dantu in Zhenjiang Prefecture, and then went to Danyang, completely bypassing Jurong and Lishui counties. Not only that, but all the sporadic Qing troops in the countryside in Dantu were driven to the territory of Jurong, resulting in the Qing army in Jurong County increasing from less than 1,000 to nearly 2,000.

In this way, Wei Changhui tried his best to personally lead his subordinates to storm for a few days, and promised rewards for the regimental training in the city, and this time occupied Jurong County under his role as an internal response.

More than ten days passed like this, and he originally planned to conquer Jurong and Lishui counties within a few days, and then catch up with Yang Fuqing's army to encircle Danyang and Jintan and snatch the merits of the war.

Therefore, he was in a very unhappy mood, and just when he felt that the hand of a maid on the left was a little lighter, Wei Changhui was furious: "Cheap maid, you dare to be lazy." ”

kicked the maid to the ground, and was about to continue kicking, when there was a rapid knock on the door: "The king of Yubei is six thousand years old, and there is an urgent report from Tianjing, and the person who came said that he must hand it over to six thousand years old." ”

"Oh? An urgent report from Tianjing, what's going on? Bring in quickly, and the king will see you. Wei Changhui no longer paid attention to the maids, and waved his hand to drive the three maids out of the door.

Soon, a man dressed as an ordinary Taiping soldier was taken to the back hall, and when he saw Wei Changhui, he fell to the ground and bowed: "The villain has seen six thousand years old!" Six thousand years old, something happened to Tianjing! This is His Majesty's secret edict! ”

Wei Changhui's face changed, and Huo Di stood up: "What? Secret edict? He hurriedly snatched the secret edict, and when he saw it, it was the handwriting of the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan.

"I see! The thief is going to rebel? No wonder the King of Heaven issued a secret edict to kill the thief! Wei Changhui said with a righteous face: "This king, as the northern king of the heavenly kingdom, is the most supportive of the king of heaven, he used to be respectful to the eastern thief, but for the sake of the great plan of the heavenly kingdom, in fact, he disliked the arrogance of the eastern thief, and now he has done such a rebellious thing, but no wonder this king wants to respond to the edict of the heavenly king and kill this fang." ”

After speaking, he ordered his subordinates to be summoned, ready to gather his Taiping soldiers, prepare to pull out, and return to Tianjing City.

After the arrangement was completed, Wei Changhui called the messenger again and asked, "To whom did the Heavenly King send a secret edict?" ”

The messenger replied honestly: "The villain does not know. ”

Wei Changhui waved his hand, and asked people to entertain the messenger Haosheng, but in fact, he watched it, so as not to leak the news.

He was thinking that since the Heavenly King had ordered a secret edict and had also specified that he would kill the East King, it seemed that the contradiction with the East King could no longer be reconciled. In that case, your chance has come.

Wei Changhui was very happy to receive this secret edict. For a long time, many people in the Kingdom of Heaven thought that he Wei Changhui was 6,000 years old, a heavenly king, under one person, above ten thousand, but they couldn't imagine the humiliation he suffered.

Like the Wing King Shi Dakai, he has always been suspicious of the East King, and his power is sideways, and his actual power is not even as good as a prime minister of the East Palace. Moreover, what made Wei Changhui hold a grudge was that half a year ago, because his own brother had a dispute with Dongwang's cousin, Dongwang forced himself with his power, and he had to cry out and personally sentenced his brother to five horses and corpses.

Early the next morning, Wei Changhui led 3,000 subordinates to urgently drive to Tianjing in the name of rapid marching training.

In the early morning of two days later, on the Qinhuai River outside Tianjing City, the Hanxi Gate guards who were patrolling suddenly found that a large group of soldiers suddenly appeared on the river, and pulled over the boat, and a large group of soldiers landed near the city gate.

"Stop! Who are you? The guard shouted.

"Blind your dog's eye! This king was ordered by the king of the east to urgently return to Tianjing to have major military affairs, you little goalkeeper, dare to obstruct us? "Under the city, Wei Changhui, the cronie of the North King, Huang Qifang, the secretary of the North Palace, reprimanded, and after speaking, he raised the letter of the transfer seal with the big seal of the East Hall in his hand.

Although the guards in the city did not dare to make a sound, they still insisted on putting down the hanging basket, asked Huang Qifang to put the warrant into the basket, and pulled it up to the city tower to see that it was a real seal letter issued by the palace of the king of Dongwang, which stated that 3,000 soldiers were mobilized into the city, and the seal letter of the king of the east was clearly covered.

But even if you urgently transfer troops into the city, you don't have to be late at night and early in the morning? The guard always felt that this matter revealed a strangeness, anyway, the East Wangfu was very close to the Hanxi Gate, and he just wanted to order someone to go to the East Wangfu to report, at this time, Chen Chengying, a close confidant in front of the East King, the Marquis of Xingguo, came over and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The guard first saluted and replied: "The villain is the marquis of Xingguo, and the three thousand Taiping soldiers outside the city want to enter the city." The villain felt that this matter was a little strange and wanted someone to report it to Dongwang. ”

"Well, it's good that you're guarding the city. However, do they have a letter of redeployment? Chen Chengying asked.

"There is indeed a letter of transfer of troops from the East Temple!"

"Bastard, since there is a letter from the king of the east to transfer troops, why stop them? This is the edict of the king of the east, how dare you disobey it? Chen Chengying scolded.

"But...... But this midnight transfer of troops is too strange, and the villain is wondering, is it better to report to the king of the east? The guard cautiously explained, but obviously lacked confidence.

"Confused! The king of the east has every opportunity, every day for the kingdom of heaven and his brothers, he is very tired, and he finally gets a good night's sleep, you fool actually went to wake him up, isn't this not inconsiderate of the king of the east at all? Shall we provoke him to anger and behead you? Chen Chengying's words made the guards shrink their necks in fright, and they didn't dare to say more, so they hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened and let the Taiping soldiers enter the city.

Wei Changhui, the king of the north, and others also mixed in the crowd and also rushed into the city.

At the head of the city, Chen Chengying looked at the Dongwang Mansion not far from the city, and his face was full of hideousness.

In the Dongwang Mansion, there were originally more than 5,000 guards, and that night, more than 3,000 people were transferred to the Shence Gate, saying that there were Qing demons and spies who were preparing to make trouble there, and let them go to strengthen the guards, and there were only more than 2,000 people left in the Dongwang Mansion.

Wei Changhui, who entered the Hanxi Gate, immediately ordered his subordinates to extinguish most of the torches, and surrounded the Dongwang Mansion not far away in the dark. After the soldiers were in place, Wei Changhui immediately ordered: According to the edict of the secret edict of the King of Heaven, the eastern thief Yang Xiuqing tried to rebel, and the crime was unforgivable.

All the soldiers are Wei Changhui's cronies and elite soldiers, they have always obeyed orders, and when they shouted, they rushed through several gates of the East Wangfu together, attacked the mansion, cut down people when they saw them, and killed them whenever they met, and the screams of killing and the screams before death kept sounding at the west end of the silent Tianjing City.

In the innermost apse of the East Palace, Yang Xiuqing, who had been busy all day, had just rested at this time.

He is only thirty-three years old, he is really the age of blood and strength, no, just after the grace of the two princesses, he can fall asleep, and suddenly heard the sound of killing outside the courtyard wall.

Yang Xiuqing was taken aback, thinking that he had dreamed of being besieged by Qing demons in Yong'an City. I opened my eyes and listened carefully, it was not a dream, it was indeed a killing cry outside the house.

He hurriedly called people: "Come on! What's going on outside the house? ”

Several guards hurriedly ran into the room, but it was not clear what the voice was. Chengxuan Zeng Hongfang and Ji Chengzi, who were on duty in the East Palace, also hurriedly ran in from outside the hall, and Ji Chengzi said in disbelief: "King Dong, listening to the voice, it seems to be coming from the side of the attendant hall, it is the Taiping soldiers in the city who are practicing, right?" ”

"Absolutely not!" Yang Xiuqing, who has been in the war for a long time, although he has lived in Tianjing City for more than a year, his sensitivity to the war has not weakened at all, "Something big must have happened!" With that, he hurried to the front yard.

I happened to meet my cousin Yang Yiqing head-on, Yang Yiqing staggered and ran quickly, crying in a panic: "King Dong, something is wrong!" Quick, quickly transfer troops, there is a big gang of thieves who have rebelled and are besieging our Dongwang Mansion! ”

As soon as Yang Yiqing's words fell, Yang Xiuqing had already seen hundreds of female officials in the front hall, Wang Niang, maids and other family members crying and fleeing to the inner hall.

Yang Xiuqing's heart suddenly sudden, and it was only then that he realized that it was really something wrong, it seemed that the thief army was menacing, and the killing shouts outside the mansion were even more violent. He couldn't help but tremble, historically, people in high positions in power have inevitably lived a life of licking the knife, and he never thought that he would have this day!

But after all, he has experienced many major events, and he knows in his heart that the more this time, the more he can't panic, but for no reason, his legs are weak.
