readx; On the morning of the second day after receiving the order, the Fifth Army Battalion, one of the three major battalions, began to move to the Beijing Division. The Pen, Qu, and Pavilion www.biquge.info Jian Jun Dynasty received Wei Zhongxian's secret letter, and led the leading troops in a hurry, and rushed to the outside of the capital in less than an hour. He couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, secretly thinking that as soon as the army entered the city, Jiu Qian-seo would be able to completely control the situation and arrest all those dissidents. When the time comes, as the supreme commander of the Fifth Military Battalion, he will be able to show off and greatly win the favor of the 9,000-year-old.

The capital division is divided into two cities, and there are imperial cities in the inner city, and there are many city gates, known as "the inner nine and the outer seven imperial cities are four". The five city terracotta divisions are in charge of each section, and the Beicheng terracotta division has jurisdiction over Desheng Gate, Anding Gate, Dongzhi Gate, and Xizhi Gate; The Xicheng Terracotta Division has jurisdiction over Fuchengmen, Xibianmen, and Guang'anmen; The Nancheng Terracotta Division has jurisdiction over You'anmen, Yongdingmen, and Zuo'anmen; The Dongcheng Terracotta Division has jurisdiction over Chaoyang Gate, Dongbian Gate, and Guangqu Gate; The Zhongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division, which has the largest number of troops, has jurisdiction over the Xuanwu Gate, Zhengyang Gate, Chongwen Gate and the Imperial City Four Gates.

According to the rules, the officers and soldiers should take the Anding Gate in the north when entering the city, and take the meaning of "the triumph of the class and the stability of the Quartet". Therefore, although it was closer and more convenient to enter the city from the west gates, Wang Chao ordered the army to move to the north of the city and prepare to enter the city through the Anding Gate.

I was dumbfounded when I saw it here: the city gate of Andingmen was closed, the suspension bridge was high, and no one could enter or exit! The dynasty was busy ordering the little eunuch to call the city, but the officials and soldiers in the city shouted loudly: "In accordance with the decree of the Holy Decree and the Governor of the Factory, in order to strictly prevent the remnants of Donglin from disturbing the order of the Beijing Division, the Anding Gate will be closed from now on!" ”

Wang Chaofeng heard that it was reliable, and he wanted to come to the nine thousand years old to have a co-ordination arrangement, but he came without asking clearly. Then he ordered the little eunuch to ask which gate the five army camps should go through when they were ordered to enter Beijing.

The defenders of the city said ignorantly: "We only know that we are ordered to close the city, and we don't know anything else." Why don't you go to Deshengmen and have a look? ”

Wang Chaofeng had to lead the army to Deshengmen, but he didn't expect it to be the same here. Then go to Xizhimen, the same is true, Wang Chaofeng secretly called bad luck, so he had to turn back to the west of the city, intending to enter from the west of Fucheng Gate, Xibian Gate, Guang'an Gate and other places.

I don't know that although these gates are not closed, someone sprinkled a lot of water here last night. Now it is the ninth cold day, and it will freeze hard as iron in a short time. It just so happened that the waterwheel that was pulling water from Yuquan Mountain in western Beijing to the Forbidden City passed by in the early morning, because the road was too slippery and overturned, and the bucket fell to the ground, freezing the road surface unevenly. It was still difficult for a single pedestrian to pass, and it was even more difficult for so many people and horses to walk, and from time to time a military horse fell on its backs, and as a result, it took a full morning before hundreds of people entered the city.

Wang Chaofeng was anxious, and led his men and horses to Yongding Gate in the southern city. It's normal here, but what is annoying is that the defenders of the city actually have to check the men and horses of the five military camps one by one!

At this time, Wang Fengke was on fire, dismounted and went straight to the city gate, pulling the male duck and scolding: "Which monkey cub is this to be investigated?" It's all officers and soldiers, check a fart, what's there to check? If the army enters the city by mistake, the nine thousand years old will be blamed, and none of you will want to live! ”

"Hey, hey, it's me who wants to check it, but I didn't expect to make the prince angry." Next to him, a big-bellied Humpty Dumpty man turned around, smiling at Wang Chaofeng.

Wang Chaofeng listened to this person's sarcasm, and couldn't help but be furious, and was just about to raise the whip to scold, but a little eunuch next to him hurriedly whispered: "Godfather, you can't beat it, this is Xiaoyao Bo Zhou Kui!" ”

Wang Chao's hands trembled, and he quickly put down the whip. Who is Zhou Kui? That's Xiaoyaobo, the deputy governor of Jinyiwei, the commander of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses, and the most important thing is that he is the old man of the current emperor!

Wang Chaofeng hurriedly changed his face to a smile at the speed of Sichuan Opera changing his face and said: "Ah, our family is clumsy, we didn't recognize it as Uncle Xiaoyao, forgive your sins!" However, our family was ordered to lead the army into the city, so you don't seem to have to check it, what is there to check the official army? ”

Zhou Kui still looked smiling, but he refused: "That's not good, there is an order for nine thousand years old, no matter who it is, as long as you enter and exit the city gate, you must be strictly investigated." Take the official army as an example, if there are remnants of Donglin who mix into the army and go to Beijing to plot against them, it will be more harmful than ordinary people. So you have to check the military license plate and ask the name again to see if it can match. You and I are both running errands for the 9,000-year-old, and my father-in-law has to forgive, and no one should make it difficult for anyone. But you don't have to check it, hehehehehe. ”

Wang Chaofeng was angry in his heart, and secretly said that Zhou Kui was clearly deliberately making things difficult. But his status is noble, and under the guise of being nine thousand years old, he doesn't dare to say anything. After going back and forth like this, after a day's slipping, only more than 1,000 officers and soldiers entered the city, and the rest could only return to the Xiangshan military camp fifty miles away.

At the same time that the five military camps were tossed to the ground, a major event also happened in the Jingshi City, that is, the British Gongzhang Weixian was critically ill. The news soon spread throughout the city, and the eunuchs all celebrated when they heard it, especially those ministers who were thrown outside the palace gate by Zhang Weixian in the Qianqing Palace yesterday, and they were even more angry, hoping that Zhang Weixian would report to the king of Hades as soon as possible.

Soon, the British government sent people to the Dingguo Mansion and the Chengguo Mansion to deliver letters, asking the two princes to preside over the heirs and funeral ceremonies. This is also normal, because these three families are all dukes in Beijing, and they are usually very close, and they are also related by marriage. The British Duke is going to die, and it is logical to entrust the future affairs to the Duke of the Kingdom and the Duke of Chengguo.

Xu Yunzhen, Duke of Dingguo, and Zhu Chunchen, Duke of Chengguo, hurriedly rushed to the British Mansion and saw that the mansion was already in chaos. The two were led to the back house by the servants, and saw Zhang Weixian lying upright on the bed with his eyes closed, seeing that his fate was on the horizon. Zhang Zhiji was kneeling in front of the bed crying, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he hurriedly said: "The two uncles are here, and my father has been waiting!" ”

The two hurriedly stepped forward and called: "Brother Zhang, if you have anything to explain, just say it!" ”

Unexpectedly, Zhang Weixian sat up and scared the two of them into a strange scream, thinking that Zhang Weixian had cheated the corpse. It's wrong to think about it again, he's not dead yet, how can he cheat the corpse?

Zhang Weixian smiled apologetically and said: "The situation is urgent, I have to deceive the two of you, I am really offended!" ”

As he spoke, he invited Chongzhen's blood edict and read it to the two. The two princes were almost frightened after hearing this, and waved their hands again and again: "British duke, you, you... How does this work? We have no power and no soldiers, what can we do to rebel? ”

Zhang Weixian had expected that the two of them would be like this, so he was not angry, but smiled slightly: "If you don't work for the two princes to go into battle to kill the thief, you just need to ask for the Chengzu iron card in your mansion." ”

Zhu Chunchen was still talking, but Xu Yunzhen rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, Brother Shi wait a while, I'll go back to the house to get it immediately!" ”

"The two of you are going back and forth." Zhang Weixian said with a slight mockery, "Our brothers haven't seen each other for many days, so today I will ask the two of you to accompany the old man to have a good drink in the house." Just write a note and ask the dog to go to the house to pick it up. ”

"You... Are you trying to detain us? Xu Yunzhen said in a trembling voice.

"It's for your good." Zhang Weixian sneered, "Soon there will be a sword and sword shadow in the city, you are here in the old man, I am afraid that it will be safer!" ”
