Yang Ling discussed with the genius conspirator Dai Lou'er and Wu Jie, the former Jinyi Wei Qianhu, for a night, and the counterattack was officially started by the Nanzhen Fusi, Shao Zhenfu's envoy and the Xichang Factory Gong Miao Kui.

Gao Feng and Luo Xiang have quietly informed the Queen Mother, the Empress, the Imperial Concubine, the Princess and other important royal personnel to gather in the Cining Palace in the name of the Empress Dowager summoning the play.

Qianqing Palace Xinuan Pavilion three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, Emperor Zhengde wears a dragon robe outside, covers soft armor inside, sits in the Xinuan Pavilion, seeing that the soldiers will be solemn, obey their own orders one by one, the belligerent factor in the blood overcomes timidity, he stroked the gold-inlaid dragon sword on the dragon book case, a handsome face flushed with excitement, and he has the pleasure of commanding thousands of troops to kill the enemy on the battlefield.

The generals of the official residences of the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Horse Supervisor Tengxiang, Wu Xiang, Left Guard, and Right Guard were ordered by General Miao Kui and rushed to the four cities one after another. Miao Kui personally led 300 people to rush to the celebrant supervisor.

Although the celebrant controlled the inner court and governed the Dongchang, Jinyiwei and the 12th regimental battalion, there were only one hundred and ten unarmed eunuchs in this compound. The force in the palace is completely in the hands of Miao Kui, and Hongzhi's arrangement is to balance it among the eunuchs, and now it really works.

At dusk, because Dongchang Fanzi was searching for Yang Ling outside Beijing, in order to get the news in time, Zhang Shou, Li Rong and other big eunuchs gathered in Wang Yue's room at this time.

Zhang Shou said excitedly: "Today, the outer court really signed a joint letter, forcing the emperor to kill Yang Ling and remove the Eight Tigers, and there is no news yet, but the excerpts submitted by the hundred officials in the early court are estimated to be enough to make the emperor scramble.

As soon as Yang Ling died, we immediately notified the three major scholars of the cabinet to enter the palace with Fan Ting, and a bloody human head was presented, and the major event was decided. Princess-in-law, how about I go to the inner factory to run an errand when you see it? It won't be a big deal for the master of ceremonies to have a few other fathers-in-law to help him, and we can't hand over this sharp knife to outsiders anymore."

Li Rong was displeased when he heard this: "Gonggong Zhang is resourceful, how can he be separated from Gonggong's side?" Wang Gonggong, why don't you send our family to this inner factory, you say."

Although Wang Yue was honest, he could also hear that these cronies were fighting for power again, so he frowned and said, "What are you fighting for?" Yang Ling is not dead yet, let's talk about it then."

He glanced at Li Rong, who was about to speak and stopped, and said, "The inner factory is the same as the east factory, and there are many opportunities to deal with the outer court outside. Zhang Shou has a lot of eyes and can speak well, I think the inner factory will be handed over to Zhang Shou, as for you, you can go to the west factory."

Li Rong was stunned and blurted out: "West Factory? Does my father-in-law want to take Miao Kui down too? ”

Wang Yue said "um": "Miao Kui has always been honest and never caused trouble, our family didn't think that his West Factory was of any use, and he never moved him." This time to clean up Yangling, Dongchang sent more than 20,000 people, and so far no one has caught them.

Our family just thinks wow, if this West Factory is in our hands, do we still need to do this? As soon as he walked into the palace gate, wouldn't it be enough to cut him down with the imperial horse supervisor? So wow, Miao Kui still gives him an idle job to retire, these four guards in the palace have to be taken back."

"Hahahaha." , A burst of yin and yang weird laughter came, Miao Kui put his hands on his sleeves, Shi Shiran stepped into the door, narrowed his eyes into a slit, flashed with a for tat cold light, and said with a smile: "Who said that the prince is confused?" This is clear to the heart."

He Dachun jumped down from the side of the kang and said angrily: "Bold! You are so kind to the prince", he said this, his eyes suddenly burst out, and his voice was hoarse and he could no longer speak.

A few people sat in the kang and couldn't see the outside, he jumped off the ground, only to see the door lying there two little eunuchs who were standing there, a Wuxiangwei officer and soldier was wiping a bloody knife on the body of the little eunuch, and there were seven or eight people standing in the outer hall, all of them were murderous soldiers with knives.

He Dachun couldn't help but take a few steps back in shock, and said, "What are you doing?" ”

Miao Kui smiled and said, "What are you doing?" Sent troops to the prince! He lowered his smile and said coldly: "Come on, arrest them all!" ”

Seven or eight wolf-like officers and soldiers rushed in and pushed the four chiefs and eunuchs to the ground, and then someone lifted ropes and tied them up. Miao Kui flicked the placket of his shirt, saluted Wang Yue, who was shocked and pale, and said with a smile: "Wang Gonggong, according to the emperor's command, the celebrant and the celebrant deceive the king, and take them all down immediately, please send the bus out of the tiger talisman."

Wang Yue was so angry that he trembled, pointed at him and snorted and said, "You fart!" You two-faced and three-edged things, you are like a gray grandson in front of our family, who supported you and dared to arrest me? ”

Miao Kui straightened up and said coldly: "It's the emperor who supports me!" Wang Yue sat in the kang, without a robe, Miao Kui saw a bunch of keys hanging on the belt of his moon-white sweat robe, snatched it and ripped it off, and threw it to a soldier on the ground.

Wang Yue was thin and withered, trembling when he walked, and was snatched by Miao Kui, who was born in a practicing family, and pushed on the kang, Miao Kui pointed to the polished brass cabinet on the kang head and said, "Open it for me!" ”

The soldier took the key over, tried a few, opened the copper cabinet with a "click", and took out a brocade box wrapped in yellow satin from inside, Miao Kui hurriedly took it, carefully untied the silk knot, opened it and saw a square gold seal inside, Miao Kui lifted it up and looked at the seal letter, put it back and tied it, and carefully carried it in his arms.

The so-called Tiger Talisman for Troop Mobilization is just a continuation of the name of the ancient Troop Mobilization Seal Letter, and its shape has long been changed to a Seal Letter, rather than a two-piece Tiger Talisman.

Shang Bao Jian is in charge of the jade seal, and the celebrant is in charge of the transfer of troops from the 12th Regiment Battalion and the Beijing Battalion, which is a huge force, even if only a few of them swear allegiance to the Si Li Supervisor, this operation will fall into a bitter battle with a huge disparity in strength.

And the celebrant who has been supported by the outer court, whether there is a holy decree or not is just whether he can become more famous in the legal system, even if the emperor insists on refusing to issue an edict, they can still transfer troops, punish the eight tigers in the name of the Qing monarch, kill Yang Ling, and they can still write this history according to their wishes, and even the emperor has to accept this fact.

The inner factory and the west factory are politically at a disadvantage, and if there is no holy decree, they have to guard against the counteroffensive of the outer court on this ground, and now they have taken the leaders of the ceremonial supervisor and snatched back the tiger talisman of the transfer of troops, which is considered to have completed the "beheading operation", and the next step is to lock the palace.

Miao Kui sighed and shouted to his cronies: "Hold them all up and keep them under strict guard."

The guards dragged up several big eunuchs with earthy faces and walked out, and the personal soldiers who had already received Miao Kui's instructions deliberately slowly tied Dai Yi, and several other people were pushed out before he was lifted.

Miao Kui waved his hand, motioned for a few soldiers to retreat outside the house first, and then said with a smile: "Grandpa Dai, I have wronged you, Governor Yang asked me to express my gratitude to you."

Only then did Dai Yi know that Yang Ling had obtained his own secret letter, so today's action must have been at Yang Ling's behest. He couldn't help but be excited, and said, "The factory already knows my identity? That's great, why did you tie up our family too? ”

Miao Kui smiled and said, "Father-in-law Dai still has to pretend to be a prisoner again, and you will want it in the morning tomorrow."

Flag officer He Liubao "kicked" down the Tibetan wall, humming a little tune to relieve his hands, he just turned down, suddenly saw the heavy palace door "clucking" together, "bang" to cover up, down the bar, lock, mortar, closing, He Liubao saw a stunned, blurted out to the gatekeeper general Zhao Mingda: "General Zhao, what time is this, why did you lock the palace door?" ”

Zhao Mingda said solemnly: "Serve the edict, lock the palace door, without the emperor's special decree, foreign ministers are not allowed to enter, internal officials are not allowed to go out, you don't need to know anything else, go back to your position!" ”

He Liubao "chuckled" in his heart, the emperor ordered the palace to be locked? What's going on? He looked at the locked palace gate, and knew that it was impossible to pass the news to the people in Dongchang, and the celebrant didn't know

He smiled a little flusteredly: "Oh, I'll go and make it easier, I'll be back soon!" ”

Zhao Mingda smiled slightly, waved his hand, and immediately stood up with four guards with knives, Zhao Mingda smiled and said: "Brother He, the edict instructs that this official has to be cautious, the four of you accompany General He, and then accompany him back."

He Liubao's eyes rolled, thinking about the possibility of suddenly escaping, but when he raised his eyes, at the end of the yellow tile and red wall in the distance, the second palace door was also closing leisurely, slamming shut, and a wisp of residual sun was obliquely reflected on the vermilion palace gate, reflecting the rows of copper rivets shining with a cold light, he couldn't help but sigh, so he had to walk towards the toilet in the corner.

The celebrant drafts the decree, and the emperor approves it with a seal to call it a holy decree, if it is written by the emperor himself, and then stamped with the national seal, it is a special decree. Emperor Zhengde mentioned that Wolf Hao wrote down three holy decrees in his own hand, used the jade seal, and said: "Zhang Yong, Dayong, you two each hold a holy decree, quickly go to the mansions of Chengguo Gong and Cao Guogong to spread the decree, let the two Guogong immediately take over the Beijing camp, and the two of you will be the supervisors."

Although the main force of Fanzi has been led out of Beijing, there are still thousands of men and horses in Dongchang, if you can't take Beijing in your hands, if you take Dongchang, if there are dissenting generals who directly participate in the war, or fish in troubled waters under the banner of suppressing rebellion, it is likely to develop from a coup d'état to a military disaster.

Thousands of times plus tens of thousands of Beijing troops, enough to turn Yanjing City upside down, if some chaotic soldiers take the opportunity to break into the palace of the prince and prince to rob and kill people, no matter whether Yang Lingcheng succeeds or not, this heinous crime is inevitable.

Cheng Guogong and Cao Guogong were loyal, and they both led troops when they were young, and they were known to have prestige in the army, and these two people have always been clean and self-conscious, and they have not had much contact with hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China.

They came forward to take over the power of the Beijing camp, and then Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong supervised the army, which was enough to deter the people of the Beijing camp, and Yang Ling did not expect that these people who were originally under the supervision of the ceremonies could quickly return to their hearts, and then come forward to exterminate the East Factory, as long as they did not move and ensure that the Beijing division was not chaotic, it would be done.

However, he didn't expect the emperor to be clever and send Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong as supervisors. The emperor has just ascended the throne, and he is not very familiar with these two old ministers, and if he does not send two trustworthy people around him to watch, he must be psychologically uneasy.

As for the Eight Tigers to get a share of the pie because of this, there is no way to do it, and at this time, if you take power and exclude the Eight Tigers from the circle of power, it will be too unwise and impossible.

The elite of the inner factory has already returned to the western suburbs of the Beijing division to standby, and Wu Jie, who returned to Beijing in advance, has already made arrangements according to Yang Ling's plan.

This battle is very important, if Yang Ling fails, Fan Ting will lead the army to force the palace, Zhengde's only choice is to release Wang Yue and others, and obediently follow the requirements of Dongchang and the outer court to eliminate the Eight Tigers.

Zhengde knew that this battle would not be as easy as dealing with the master of ceremonies and seizing the military power of the Beijing camp, he picked up the holy decree, but looked at Yang Ling worriedly and said, "Yang Shiyu, Dongchang Fan Ting, I will hand it over to you." It's a pity that the Beijing camp and the 12th regiment battalion have been operated by the celebrant for many years, and their soldiers dare not be used, with only your 5,000 soldiers and horses, I am worried that you can deal with the 8,000 fans of Dongchang? ”

There is no turning back from the bow, there is only one battle at this time, is there a second way to choose? How can you say something discouraged to the emperor? Yang Ling smiled confidently and said: "The emperor can rest assured, Weichen has already taken care of it, and there is no suspense in tonight's charge, but it is said that the early dynasty is tomorrow, but the emperor is fighting a thousand armies alone, and Weichen is worried."

Emperor Zhengde raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly: "Aiqing, don't worry, I'm not afraid of them!" ”

He paused for a moment, and then said sarcastically: "But Aiqing, you have to come back early!" ”

The matter was urgent, the emperor allowed the palace to ride a horse, Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong carried the special decree of Emperor Zhengde himself, and each led eight guards with knives to leave the palace quickly, and the palace gate was slammed behind them, and the palace was full of murderous atmosphere.

Out of the palace, Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong greeted each other, and each led six people to the mansions of Chengguo Gong and Cao Guogong respectively. Yang Ling pretended to be a palace guard and led a personal soldier to the North Town Fusi.

Mu Bin was in the secret room holding a map detailing the buildings in the East Factory, and Yang Ling was told in detail about the building in the East Factory, and then he heard the report that Admiral Zhang Xiu led the people to the Beijing Division.

Yang Ling was a little surprised when he heard it, Yang Ling deployed suspicious soldiers on the suspicious soldiers, which caused Jinyiwei and Dongchang to have to divide the troops, originally hoping to transfer Zhang Xiu away, and when the overall situation of the Beijing division has been decided, he will not be able to play tricks in Tianjin.

As for the safety of Liu Biao and others, Yang Ling is not worried, Wu Jie and Liu Biao know more about Zhang Xiu than him, Zhang Xiu has always been jealous of the foreign court ministers, and they have deep prejudices against each other.

But it stands to reason that there are tens of thousands of horses in Dongchang on the Jingshi side, and he is not one of them, even if he has long suspected that Yang Ling has taken the dry road under the guise of an official ship, he should not be in a hurry to return to the Jingshi on the spot.

Mu Bin smiled and said, "Is it strange? Presumably, Lord Admiral is worried that Dongchang has taken your head, and when you invite the ministers to pet, you will not talk about his share of credit", he quickly put it on, and said: "I will go to meet Admiral Zhang, Lord Yang will wait for a while."

Yang Ling saw him leave, looked at the map on the table and looked at it carefully for a while, then raised his head and asked, "The person has been sent back?" ”

A pro-soldier replied: "Yes, it should be possible to arrive at the time of the lantern, but before entering Gao Laozhuang, there are many checkpoints in the East Factory, and we have found excuses to check again and again, and now they have torn their faces and killed adults outside Beijing, I am afraid that they will be directly blocked, can our people return to the mountain?" ”

Yang Ling smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry about this, I have already agreed on a strategy with the big stall leader."

When he said this, Mu Bin had already walked back, and Yang Ling got up and said with a smile: "Admiral Zhang has thrown himself into the net?" ”

Mu Bin smiled: "Soldiers are not bloody!" ”

He looked at the leak and said, "He brought back five hundred lieutenants for me to use, tonight this Zhenfu Si Yamen people go to the empty building, and the factory governor can let go of his hands and feet." ”

Yang Ling nodded and said, "Okay, as soon as my people enter the city, please ask your lord to act according to the plan, not only to keep an eye on the officials, not to allow them to collude with the news, but also to prevent someone from going to their house to make trouble, your manpower is limited, and you have to be careful."

Mu Bin said with a smile: "It's okay, my people want to see those important ministers are still at ease, even if the Dongchang side kills the sky tonight, I can also guarantee that the six Jiuqing, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military will become blind and deaf!" ”

When the bright moon is in the sky, it is sprinkled with silver light as light yarn, and the ground seems to be covered with a layer of light frost.

In the west of the capital, more than ten fast horses galloped over, and the sound of hooves was like thunder.

At this time, the night was vast and it was difficult to see, the horse was running so quickly, the hidden pile lurking outside Gao Lao Zhuang couldn't help but be stunned, seeing that the horse was getting closer and closer, and was about to break into the village, a stall head immediately made a decision, and immediately shouted: "Stop them!" ”

The two fanzi immediately waved their knives and cut off the two ropes, and there was a sound of "Karala", and a big tree on the side of the road that had already been cut down fell on the road, blocking the four fast horses to go to the road. The East Factory was ordered to do a bad job and get off the horse quickly to be investigated! ”

"Hahahaha", immediately a knight laughed loudly, took the reins of the horse in the same place and turned around twice, suddenly reached into his arms, and then only heard a few "clicks", a fan standing in front of him saw the sparks in his hands, and couldn't help but take a few steps back in shock.

A cluster of flames ignited, and then I saw a flash of sparks, a flash of red light, Fanzi saw that there was a thick short stick in the knight's hand "bang" sound, a spark went straight to the night sky, and exploded in the night sky, full of red, blue, purple, and gold colors, condensed into the silk of the blooming autumn chrysanthemum, and opened gorgeously in the air.

Several fans looked up, the extremely gorgeous posture slowly burned out, there was still the splendor of the fireworks in the eyes, for a while I couldn't see the stars in the sky, and suddenly heard the silent night sky and "bang" a bang, a magnificent spark rose in the sky above Gao Laozhuang, and then, there was a little light on the mountain in the distance, but it was far away, it looked like a large and small star, but it had lost that kind of gorgeousness.

The head of the stall was stunned for a moment, and shouted in a lost voice: "Fireworks message!" ”

Immediately, the knight smiled and said, "Exactly! ”

The stall head raised his knife and shouted, "Quick! Kill them and report back", before he finished speaking, his guttural voice tightened, and the strength of his body seemed to be drained all at once, and the whole person fell softly to the ground.

Immediately, the knight shouted: "Just a few of you little characters who block the road and investigate? Don't move, otherwise your lord's Zhuge God Crossbow won't recognize you! Keep your dog's eyes open and look back! ”

The number of these ambushes is limited, not as many as these nocturnal knights, at this time, seeing that the other party also tore his face and openly moved, he was cowardly in his heart, and when he heard the words, he obediently looked behind him, only to see the distant mountain meandering, like a long dragon, and the fiery red dragon was rushing down the mountain at a very fast speed.

Wu Jie was dressed in a big head, while Peng Jizu, Lian Delu and others wore helmets and armor, but they were the leaders of the Shenji Battalion at the beginning, and most of the 5,000 elite soldiers were carrying a bulging baggage, and they didn't know what they were used for.

The army was neatly organized, the queue was neat, one by one holding torches, the expression was awe-inspiring, murderous, and the pack horses at the end also pulled ten small cannons, these people held the holy decree to open the West City Gate, crossed the Jingshi Street, and rushed straight to the East Editing Factory.

If it weren't for Wu Jie, Huang Qiyin, Yu Yong, Yang Yiqing and others repeatedly suppressed them, these unruly soldiers would have clashed with Dongchang long ago.

Now ordered to exterminate the East Factory, these elite people of the Shenji Battalion who are above the top are very popular, they are from the regular army, and they are also a regular army weapons and equipment, which put the East Factory those who bully the people and oppress the people to the incomparably martial Dongchang in their eyes, whether the East Factory is prepared or not is in their eyes is tantamount to a bunch of chickens and dogs, and a fire dragon with high morale is mighty to kill Dong'anmen.
