Chapter 116: Zhengde Breaks Through

"Lord Wang, would you better go and take a rest? How could a little horse thief dare to come to Juyongguan to be presumptuous? Leave it to the brethren, and do not bother your lords, for you have been standing on the head of the city all day. ”

Juyong Guan will be in Wuji and the generals are now having a headache, to say that these civil officials are not enough to succeed and more than to lose? This Wang Yushi is really troublesome, last night received a flying pigeon book, and then suddenly said to himself that there is reliable information, there is a group of horse thieves from the direction of the capital, want to escape from the pass, to be sure to strengthen their defense, the horse thieves block.

Isn't that a joke? The Ming Dynasty has been founding for more than 100 years, and I have never heard of such a thing. Let's not talk about whether they can win it or not, even if they succeed, and then will they go to Xuanfu Town or defend it? The people in Xuanfu Town are all border troops who have been fighting with the Tartars all year round, and the horse thieves went to Xuanfu to send them to death? As for guarding the gates...... Huh, is that possible?

That's why General Yu hates civil officials, Sesame is a big deal, and he makes such a big move. He originally said a few perfunctory words, and he wanted to deal with the past, but who knew that this king Yushi had actually gone to the city wall, and he had been staying for a day and a night!

General Yu was also a little confused, could it be that there were really horse thieves, but if you want to capture Juyong Pass, what kind of large-scale horse thieves do you have to be? How could such a horse thief come from the direction of the capital? Are the three major battalions in the capital all eating dry rice, or is it really just that this Wang Yushi is holding chicken feathers as arrows, and he wants to make meritorious contributions and wants to go crazy.

"This official has received the court's favor, naturally to share the worries and solve problems for the court, now the national disaster is at the head, the country and the society are in the wind and rain, it is my generation who does not hesitate to be bloody, to deserve it, how can the official retreat? General Yu, you don't need to persuade again, just arrange for the sergeant to strictly guard the gate. Wang Yushi replied solemnly.

Crazy, really crazy, General Yu shook his head, this Lord Wang is really reading and reading bad brains, what is the wind and rain in this peaceful and prosperous world...... Even if it's really stormy, what use can you scholars come in? It's not the Tartars coming, it's just a handful of horse bandits at most, as for it.

"That'...... Adults are worried about national affairs, and they really admire it, so they won't bother adults here and take their leave. Although I don't think so, the other party's status is higher after all, and General Yu doesn't want to lose his courtesy.

"General Yu went by himself, there is an official here, and Juyongguan is foolproof." Wang Yushi sat at the head of the city, looking into the distance, and had the demeanor of Yu Shaobao who was in danger and commanded.

“…… Farewell, farewell. General Yu glanced to the south, and sighed again, that is, without you, this Juyong Pass is also foolproof. You yourself are slowly going crazy in the city, blowing the wind on the city on this cold day, it is purely not sick to find a disease, blowing for two more days, you will know that it is powerful, hum, Lao Tzu is not waiting.

General Yu glanced at Wang Yushi and seemed to nod, but he was still sitting upright, he didn't pay attention to it, and went straight away.

This Wang Yushi is the disciple that the university scholar Li Dongyang said. Wang Xinliang Wang Yushi has just arrived this year and stood up, it is the time when he is in his prime and full of spirit, he is upright, and he is known for his courage to speak out in the capital.

Soon after the new emperor ascended the throne, he had a twist and turn, impeaching the clan for many illegal acts, and won great praise and reputation. It was also because of this twist and turn that he also offended the clan and had to go out of Beijing to avoid the limelight under the arrangement of his teacher.

During this time, Wang Yushi was also extremely resentful in his heart, and now he favored the eunuchs, the silver chaos in the palace, and he was not comfortable living in the palace, and he did not follow the etiquette.

Being far away from the rivers and lakes and not forgetting the worries of the world, Wang Yushi said that he looked forward to the opportunity to serve the country and show his ambitions.

Perhaps it was his persistence that moved the ancient sages, and God really gave him an opportunity! Thinking of this, Wang Xinliang couldn't help but lift his spirits, and the enthusiasm in his heart was as high as a flame, and even the biting cold wind in the winter night could not shake him in the slightest.

The emperor has stolen away from the capital! The teacher sent a letter from the capital, and instructed himself to try to keep His Majesty out of the pass, and never let His Majesty go to the dangerous place of the border pass. After Wang Yushi received the letter, he was first surprised, then excited, and finally ecstatic, what a good opportunity this is, the name of Qingshi is in front of him!

Impeaching the clan or admonishing the emperor in the capital is a trivial matter, and I, Wang Xinliang, want to turn away the supreme emperor today! Throughout the ages, the people who have done such things are all loyal ministers and good generals who have left their names in history, Zhou Yafu of the Han Dynasty, and Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty...... Today is my Wang Xinliang!

Wang Yushi was full of enthusiasm, and only hoped that Zhengde would appear in the city as soon as possible, and hoped that he would persuade the emperor with righteous words to return to Beijing...... This is the work of turning the tide and saving the country. Besides, His Majesty sneaked away under the noses of the three scholars, and if he was successfully persuaded by himself, then he would not be ...... Of course, I, Wang Xinliang, am a person who misses the old, and I still have to respect the teacher, but Scholar Liu is already old, and he should be a teacher in a few years...... A smile appeared on Wang Yushi's face.

It's okay if the rough billet surnamed Yu is gone, and the provincial one asks questions here, and he also makes an exception and says something against his will. But the emperor's sneaking away can't be spread, so what can you do if you don't talk about horse thieves? Do you want to warn the defenders of Juyong Pass to stop even the brocade guards?

Hmph, a group of vulgar and unbearable martial artists who have not learned the subtle words of the saints, how can they have that kind of courage? Wang Yushi was disdainful in his heart, gathered his mind again, and looked in the direction of the capital.

Even though you can't see anything in the winter nights, and the cold wind is getting colder, even the thick winter clothes are just as hard to resist. But Wang Yushi had an ardent expectation in his heart, and he was hot, and he muttered in his mouth: "The heavens will descend on the people, and they must be ...... first."

In fact, even in the daytime, he may not be able to see things, because the direction of Juyong Pass's defense is the north, and the south doesn't care at all, if the enemy appears in the south, Juyong Pass itself will be meaningless. Therefore, the south of Juyong Pass has not even cut down the woods, and it is not as empty as the north side at all, and you can see as far as the eye can see.

At this time, the person Wang Xinliang was looking forward to the most was hiding in this wood, although the trees in the woods were bare, but if there were not many people, it would not be safe for the people in the city to see.

"Long live Lord, the one sitting at the head of the city is the superintendent of the Imperial History King Xinliang, he is the one who impeached King Fan Yang before, and his temper is really stinky and hard, completely different from his teacher Li Dongyang." The torches were lit at the head of the city, and the people under the city could see it clearly, and Liu Jin pointed to Wang Xinliang to introduce Zhengde.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh......" Zhengde nodded.

"Long live the lord, he put on this posture, it must not let us pass, you also know the temper of those imperial historians, they will not let you pass, such a good opportunity, they will not give up." Liu Jin elaborated.

"Uh-huh......" Zhengde continued to nod.

"Long live Lord, it seems that this road is impassable, otherwise let's take a detour or play near the capital and go back, right?" In the dark night, Liu Jin couldn't see Zhengde's face clearly, and when he heard that he seemed to agree with his statement, he persuaded him.

"Hmm......" Zhengde replied vaguely.

Liu Jin thought that Zhengde had agreed, and he was overjoyed, and said, "Then long live the lord, should we go to Bauhinia Pass or go to Badaling?" ”

"Who said there was going to be a detour?" Zhengde finally spoke, "I want to rush to Xuanfu before the Lantern Festival, where is the time to take a detour?" Let's go to the mediocre pass. ”

"But, long live the lord, there is that Wang Xinliang ......" Liu Jin was anxious.

"If he's there, he won't let us pass, will he?" Zhengde asked rhetorically.

Liu Jin nodded hurriedly.

"This is easy to do, let's wait for him to be gone, and then we will go over?" Zhengde smiled.

"Huh?" Liu Jin's jaw almost dropped, people are in the city, we are outside the city, how can we wait?

"Channing, what did you say about the news you came back from? You tell Lao Liu about it. "Zhengde is very proud, the army has not moved, the intelligence comes first, this is the art of war.

"That Wang Yushi has been sitting in the city for a day, and it is estimated that he will not survive long in this winter." Qian Ning took a step forward and bowed down to report.

"Got it? Let's spend it with him here, I don't believe it, I can't consume him. ”

"Then why don't we camp by ourselves?" Liu Jin shivered, it's so cold in this forest.

"This is also ......" Zhengde patted his forehead, and said: "Lao Liu, you have good eyes, you are here to stare at night, and wait until daytime, and then use them again." That's a good idea, right? Qian Ning, let's go, let's camp, we have to stay away from the pass, so as not to be discovered, there is Lao Liu staring here, it doesn't matter. ”

"Long live the ......" Liu Jin was stunned, staring outside all night in this winter...... Doesn't this mean that people will die?

"Okay, okay, I'll ask Qian Ning to send you clothes later, Lao Liu, you have to ambush it, don't be discovered." Zhengde didn't look back, but just whispered again.

Liu Jin wanted to cry without tears, but there was no way at all. This time he came out too hastily, Zhengde only told Qian Ning in advance, and those Jinyi guards who came out were all Qian Ning's henchmen, and none of Liu Jin's subordinates could find one, even if he wanted to find a back, he couldn't find it.

Liu Jin had no choice but to find a leeward place to squat, and naturally scolded Xie Hong in his heart, isn't this kid doing something in Xuanfu, will Long Live Lord be in a hurry to go to that ghost place? It's not a good place, Xie Hong, this kid is a scourge.

"Long live the lord, let Lao Liu stare at it alone, is it ......" Liu Jin was unlucky, Gu Dayong naturally snickered, but long live the mind of the master has to figure it out, with the long-lived lord's usual kindness, it shouldn't be so ruthless, right, what is the situation this time? Lao Liu deserves to be unlucky, but he has to know that he won't hit the muzzle of the gun next time.

"This is a punishment for him!" Zhu Houzhao snorted angrily, "Last time, he went to the Queen Mother to report the news, otherwise I would have arrived at Xuanfu a long time ago, but I didn't pay attention to the excitement of the fighting music and martial arts competition, hum, if you don't give this guy a little power, he really thinks I'm easy to deceive." ”

Gu Da used his neck to chill, and he was afraid, fortunately, the rich brother reminded him last time, otherwise our family would also go to the Queen Mother to report the news, and I am afraid that there will be one of us squatting outside the forest today. Long live the young man, but he is smart, he can't be fooled.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, there were people sneezing at the head of the city and under the city, not being nagged, but purely frozen.

Needless to say in the city, of course it was Liu Jin, he had been in the palace for a long time, and he had been following Zhu Houzhao, where had he suffered such suffering, and he didn't know how many times he cursed Xie Hong and Wang Xinliang overnight. At first, I scolded Xie Hong more, but later, I scolded Wang Xinliang, this poor and sour, actually lasted all night, you said that if you go to bed early, you will save the master from suffering, right?

Chengtou Wang Xinliang was also uncomfortable, the previous day and night relied on enthusiasm, and the ardent anticipation of the arrival of Zhengde. But after waiting for two days and not seeing anyone, he was also a little suspicious, don't Your Majesty go somewhere else, cheaper others, right? After all, the teacher's letter did not dare to insist that His Majesty would come to Juyongguan.

It is not far from the capital to Juyongguan, how can it not be there in two days? His Majesty has always been elusive and imaginative, and it is unknown if he has gone elsewhere. As soon as his heart was cold, Wang Yushi felt that his body was also cold, and in the second half of the night, his snot and tears came down, and he was sick and worried, which was really unbearable.

"Lord Wang, would you better go and rest? Here Ben will keep an eye on it, and make sure that not even a fly will be spared. "Anyway, there are no flies in winter, so General Yu casually promised. Horse bandits are not Tartars, in this winter, even Tartars are hungry and red-eyed before they come out to forage for food, saying that horse bandits come to seize Juyong Pass, and fools believe it.

"Then there is a general...... "Wang Yushi is not a madman, and he also knows that if he holds on any longer, he may die in the city." It is very important to leave a name in history, but if you die in the city without seeing the emperor, then who will remember yourself.

"Send Lord Wang home." General Yu waved his hand, and several sergeants carried Wang Yushi down.

"Your Majesty, Wang Xinliang's house has been carried down." The one under the city has been replaced by Qian Ning, and if Liu Jin continues, I am afraid that he will die in his post.

"Good!" When he heard the illness, he was happy, Zhengde was very unkind and laughed, and then suddenly shook his spirits and rushed out of the woods in the lead: "Pass the order, follow me, and go straight to Juyongguan, rush!" ”

"Yes!" Qian Ning didn't watch out for him rushing out like this, he didn't hold it, so he had to hurriedly greet him, and then followed the horse, except for the two who took care of Liu Jin, the rest of the Jinyi guards rushed out one by one, and for a while the smoke and dust were loud, which startled the defenders of Juyong Pass.

"Are there really horse bandits? It's still in ambush in the forest, which way is this......" General Yu was also startled, but it was just a startle. He is an old soldier, and if you look at the smoke and dust, you can know that there are only more than 100 people, and there are thousands of defenders in Juyong Pass, not to mention defending the city, even if it is a field battle, it is impossible to lose.

But this horse bandit is very strange, why did he cat in the forest all night, and then suddenly jumped out early in the morning? Could it be that I am really afraid of Wang Yushi, both sides are not normal, looking at the menacing appearance, I really plan to win the level.

The city gate is closed, and these people don't even have a long weapon, so they can't cut the city gate open with a waist knife? To say that it is true, the clothes worn by these horse bandits are quite good, similar to the flying fish suit of Jinyiwei, and the knife on the waist is also quite like an embroidered spring knife...... "Don't release arrows, let them come closer." "General Yu touched his beard and hehe, haha, I haven't seen such a strange horse bandit for a long time, not only can he ambush, but he also pretended to be a brocade guard. Ben will see what tricks they are going to play first.

"A certain Jinyi Wei knows Qian Ning, and he has an important business to go to Xuanfu on business, and the soldiers in the city still don't open the city gate quickly?" Qian Ning easily grabbed ahead of Zhengde, for fear that the guards at the head of the city would go crazy and release arrows, and if the emperor was injured because of this, it would be terrible. He didn't dare to say that the emperor was here, but just held his waist card in his hand and identified himself to the city.

"Qian Tongzhi?" It was closer, and he could see it clearly, and General Yu didn't smile anymore. Although the people below are dusty and their clothes are a little dirty, he can still recognize the flying fish suit, which is too similar, or rather, yes. And that waist card seems to be real, what kind of situation is this?

"Lord Qian, there have been frequent police reports at the border recently, and there are also strict orders in Beijing prohibiting entry and exit, this ......" Although the city is really known to Jinyiwei, but the general Yu is still a little hesitant, then Wang Yushi showed a letter signed by three scholars.

"I want to get out of the gate, open the city gate quickly." Zhengde had already caught up, and without waiting for Qian Ning to answer, he rode forward and shouted loudly.

Your Majesty! Yu Shenjiang's eyes were about to pop out, and the new emperor had also gone to the capital to worship when he ascended the throne, and he had seen Zhengde from afar. And if it's not the emperor, who dares to call himself me in front of a group of brocade guards? Don't die?

But how could the emperor appear here? Could it be that Ben Jiang has unknowingly become the gate official of the capital? And then after a good night's sleep, you arrived in the capital? Yu Shen will rub his eyes and pinch his face, it's not a dream.

"Your Majesty is going to go out, the U Na guard, are you going to resist the order?" The left and right have already shouted out, and Qian Ning can't care much about it, and directly threatens the generals. There are many dreams at night, and if that Wang Yushi suddenly comes back to life, it will be troublesome.

"Don't dare, the last general won't dare." General Yu was frightened and sweated, and hurriedly ordered: "Open the city gate, open the city gate quickly." So saying, he himself went down to the city, ready to meet the holy car.

As soon as the city gate was opened, it did not mean that the general stepped forward, a black shadow flashed in front of his eyes, someone rushed in from the city gate, and did not stop going to the north city gate, and then dozens of horsemen followed closely and also roared past, and when he returned to his senses and looked at it, there was no emperor in front of him, and there was no knowledge, only two cavalrymen carrying a sick eunuch, walking slowly in front of him.

"This father-in-law, this is ......" General Yu was at a loss.

"It's still a fart, why don't you hurry up and open the north gate for Your Majesty, why are you in a daze here, Ah ...... Ahh Liu Jin scolded angrily.

"Yes......" General Yu led a horse, touched the back of his head and chased after him, a strange thought flashed in his heart, Your Majesty couldn't really have waited all night outside the gate, right? Is this Wang Yushi just waiting for His Majesty? Crazy, crazy, what's this called?

…… Not long after Zhengde and his party left Juyong Pass, Wang Yushi, who heard the movement, struggled to get up.

"General Yu, this official just heard the commotion in the city, is something wrong?"

General Yu nodded solemnly, "Just now Your Majesty went out of the customs, saying that he was going to inspect the border pass, Your Majesty is so concerned with our border soldiers, the brothers are all moved inexplicably." ”

"What! Your Majesty is out of the customs? Wang Xinliang grabbed General Yu's collar, with great strength, and General Yu, a general, couldn't break free for a while.

"Yes, this is the second time I have seen His Majesty's demeanor, it's really ......" General Yu smiled.

"Heaven is unfair, the students have been down the city for less than an hour, how can they ......" Wang Xinliang looked up to the sky and howled, miserable.

"Lord Wang, you are not wronged, you must know that Your Majesty hid in the woods for a night in order to wait for you to go down to the city, and even Gonggong Liu was frostbitten...... Tsk, your face is really amazing. General Yu comforted.

"Poof!" Wang Xinliang spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell down in response.

...... "Brother Hong, what are you laughing at?" Qing'er tilted her head and looked at Xie Hong puzzled. Brother Hong didn't know why, after receiving a letter, he laughed stupidly here all afternoon.

"Qing'er, we're going to the capital, haha......" Xie Hong got up violently, picked up Qing'er and spun around on the ground several times.

It was easy to wait for Xie Hong's excitement to pass, and the little girl looked around to see if there was anyone, then she sighed and asked curiously: "Brother Hong, is the capital fun?" When are we going? ”

"Well, it's fun, after the Lantern Festival, you should be able to leave."

"Then aren't we going to save Sister Rebel?"

"Yes, besides, we don't have to be afraid of any intrigues this time, let him just come." Holding the little girl, Xie Hong turned to the east and said confidently.

Why? The little girl looked at the letter suspiciously, there seemed to be only four words on it, Qing'er stretched her neck hard and glanced at it, and finally saw it.

'Purple air comes from the east', what does this mean? Uncle Zeng's letter is so strange, and Brother Hong is so strange.
