readx; The British Duke Zhang Weixian held this bloodstained secret letter with a trembling hand, and involuntarily muttered: "Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of Dongchang, arbitrarily disrupted power, planted party henchmen, deceived the first emperor, and framed the queen mother, that is, when I became the vassal king, I was also repeatedly assassinated by him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Looking at his behavior, there is already a conspiracy to rebel, and the crime cannot be punished!

"I wanted to get rid of this traitor for a long time, but when I first ascended to the throne, the people's hearts were not convinced; The eunuch has the right to criticize the red, and with the help of Cui Chengxiu and others, the three major battalions, the five city soldiers and horses and other hands, are afraid of startling the grass and snakes, but they will be harmed, so they have to endure it again and again.

"Today, I have secretly ordered 100,000 officials and troops from Shaanxi, Zhili, Shandong and other places to enter the king of Beijing Qinqin at night, and it is expected that it will arrive in one or two days. Qing has been a lord of the world, and his prestige is known, and it is advisable to serve the edict to beg the thief, and use the iron plate given by Emperor Chengzu to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Beijing division to escort him. If you dare to rebel and refuse to obey the edict, you can cut it first and then play it. On the day of success, I will not hesitate to reward, but if my entrustment is ineffective, resulting in failure, then Qing and I will have no shame to see the ancestors and ancestors. Specific matters can be discussed with the messenger of the secret edict, and the camera will go, and you can do it! ”

Although Zhang Weixian has never seen Zhu Youzhen's handwriting, the "Emperor's Treasure of Fengtian" used under the blood edict is genuine. This old man read the blood edict, and cried bitterly: "Minister Zhang Weixian leads the order!" Although the minister is old, he dares not to protect His Majesty! ”

Yan Ling hurriedly stopped: "The British public silence!" There are many eyes and ears of the eunuchs, and the saint has no choice but to send down the secret edict. The last general, Yan Ling, was the saint's guard when he was in the domain. In order to avoid exposing his whereabouts, he had to sneak into the house and disturb the national prince, hoping for forgiveness. ”

Zhang Weixian suddenly woke up, and also lowered his voice and said: "The old man read the blood edict of the saint, and he couldn't help it for a while, General Yan is responsible!" I don't know what the saint's plan is, how to cooperate with the old man? ”

Yan Ling saw that Zhang Weixian was really willing to obey the edict, so he told Zhu Youzhen that the Qin soldiers would enter Beijing and that they should cooperate with each other to eradicate the eunuch party in one fell swoop. Of course, in order to enhance Zhang Weixian's confidence, he did not explicitly say that there were only more than 10,000 troops, but as written in the edict, he said an imaginary number of 100,000. And asked Zhang Weixian to use his prestige and the iron card to control as much as possible the soldiers and horses of the five cities and the four guards in the palace, so that they would be loyal to Chongzhen.

Zhang Weixian frowned when he heard this: "The dog Zhang Zhiji is the commander of the Beicheng Soldiers and Horses, and my son-in-law Qiu Qisheng is the commander of the Wuxiang Left Guard, and the two old men dare to pack the ticket to beg the thief." If you have a different heart, the old man should behead him! However, although the iron plate given by Emperor Chengzu has its own things, the Duke of England, the Duke of Dingguo, the Duke of Chengguo, and the Duke of Qianguo each hold a corner, and they can only take effect when they are put together. Now that the Duke of Qianguo is far away in Yunnan, Xu Yunzhen, the Duke of Dingguo, and Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, I think they are all submissive people, and they can't make big things with them. The old man only has one corner, and it may be difficult to convince the public. And this thing has never been used, even if it is collected, if the other party refuses to obey the edict, what should it do? ”

Yan Ling raised his eyebrows and said: "There is an edict on the saint, and the matter is urgent, and the thief and the king are captured!" Guogong can first control the Beicheng Soldiers and Horses Division and Wuxiang Zuowei, and then find an excuse to make the Dingguo Gong and Chengguo Convention, and ask them to hand over the iron plate. As for the missing corner, if it really doesn't work, just copy it. When it is launched, the prince can hold an iron plate and a blood edict to order the generals in charge of the city to behead the soldiers if they refuse to obey the edict! ”

Zhang Weixian listened to it and said: "The minister obeys the order!" However, today the eunuchs have coerced the Holy Lord to send an edict to transfer five military camps into the city, and the whole city is under martial law, General Yan may not know it. ”

Yan Ling was also shocked when he heard this: "This last general really doesn't know. As soon as I opened the palace gate today, I sneaked out of the palace from the Forbidden City with the Holy Secret Edict and quietly came here again. Fortunately, it came out early, otherwise I am afraid that I would not be able to pass on the secret edict to the prince. How many troops are there in the 5th military battalion? ”

"There are about 30,000 in total, and they are led by the eunuch Wang Chaofeng, and the generals below are also Wei Zhongxian's party, so it is impossible to expect them to be edicted." Zhang Weixian calmly analyzed: "However, the station of the fifth military camp is in Xiangshan, fifty miles west of Beijing, even if it is immediately opened, tens of thousands of people will not be able to enter the city at once. If we can control the soldiers and horses of the five cities and the four guards in the palace, suddenly close the nine gates, and annihilate all the five military camps that entered the city, there is no need to worry about the people outside the city. General Yan can quickly give birth to the saint and let the saint feel at ease. ”

Yan Ling shook his head and said, "Now that the whole city is under martial law, the palace ban will only be stricter, and I can't go back." There is another person in the saint to protect, and the task of the last general is to cooperate with the national duke, and the national prince can only give orders to the last general. ”

Zhang Weixian was overjoyed and said: "With a good hand like General Yan, things will be easier to handle." The old man first found Zhang Zhiji and Qiu Qisheng! ”

Then Zhang Weixian began to make intensive arrangements. Yan Ling breathed a sigh of relief, quietly wiped the cold sweat from his palms, and pressed the grenade hidden in his waist. He didn't tell Zhang Weixian, Zhu Youzhen actually gave himself another will: if Zhang Weixian refused to obey the edict, in order to prevent leakage of news, he would immediately take his life! Yan Ling knew that Zhang Weixian's martial arts were not weak, so he specially brought a grenade, and made preparations for his death.

In the afternoon of the same day, the British public Zhang Weixian suddenly fell ill and his life was in danger. The family was shocked and hurriedly informed his son Zhang Zhiji and son-in-law Qiu Qisheng. The two were on martial law duty, and when they heard that the old man's life was in danger, they had to ask for leave and hurriedly enter the house.

Zhang Weixian was lying on the sickbed, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he trembled and said: "Others are out... Get out, you two stay! ”

The two thought that the old man was going to explain the future, so they quickly withdrew from everyone.

Zhang Weixian saw that there were only the two of them left, so he immediately jumped up from the bed and said: "There is a blood edict here, Zhang Zhiji and Qiu Qisheng kneel down and listen!" ”

The two of them were all stunned by this dramatic scene, so they had to kneel on the ground and listen to Zhang Weixian read the blood edict. Zhang Weixian read it, and said in an unquestionable majestic tone: "My father has been edicted, what do you two say?" ”

Zhang Zhiji hurriedly said: "Naturally, my son and my father are in the same heart as the edict!" ”

Qiu Qisheng's face turned pale, and he hesitated for a long time before saying, "Yue... Father-in-law, the factory governor is in power, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty bow their heads to obey orders, and they have just transferred five military camps into the city. Coupled with the 3,000 battalions and the Shenji battalion outside the city, there are no less than 100,000 soldiers and horses, how much chance can the emperor win? If you are not careful, your father-in-law and the people of the British government will be crushed! Father-in-law, who is the emperor, you also enjoy the glory, why bother to wade into this troubled water? In my son-in-law's opinion, it's better to..."

"Why not as good as what?" Zhang Weixian said coldly.

"It's better to help no one and wait and see what happens!" Qiu Qisheng said eagerly, "My father-in-law only needs to put away the blood edict, if the emperor wins, we will end up with the name of the edict to beg for thieves; If the factory governor wins, we will destroy the blood edict and die without admitting it! ”

"Hmm... You're right. Zhang Weixian ignored his son Zhang Zhiji's angry eyes, twisted his gray beard and said, "Virtuous son-in-law retreat, let the old man think about it again..."

Qiu Qisheng was like being amnestied, and he turned around and was about to flee. But as soon as he turned around, Zhang Weixian rushed straight behind like a tiger, picked up a fan-like slap, and hit him the back! Qiu Qisheng's martial arts were not weak, but he never expected his father-in-law to turn his face when he said that he would turn his face, and he secretly attacked himself.
