Zhengyangmen. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The defense here has been completely handed over to the officers and troops drawn from Shandong.

Shandong men are burly, but this speech is always like a knot in the tongue, buzzing, if you don't listen carefully, it is difficult to communicate.

Zhengyangmen includes the arrow tower and the city tower, and the urn city wall is connected as a whole, there are more than 4,000 officers and soldiers stationed in the urn city, because it is a guest army, so even the military attaches live in the urn city camp.

They naturally didn't have a chance to see the lively scene coming from Chaoyangmen, but several orders had been passed before, and the regent asked to strengthen the vigilance and not slack off.

At this juncture, no one dared to make a mistake, at least Liang Pukuan, the deputy general of Shandong who led the troops, did not dare to slack off, he personally went to the city gate to inspect several times, punished a few subordinates who neglected their duties, and then returned to his camp.

When the three poles were called, another herald arrived here, but this herald was different from the last time, he was dressed in a flying fish suit, and he was carrying an embroidered spring knife around his waist, not from the military department.

What he was holding in his hand was the waist card of the king of Chu.

Liang Pukuan felt that things were a little weird, of course he knew who the King of Chu was, but it stood to reason that the King of Chu directly sent an order to him, which was a little unruly.

So he hurriedly summoned the generals and personal soldiers in the camp and invited the envoy to arrive at the big tent, on the one hand, to give the envoy face, the province offended the king of Chu, and on the other hand, he also pulled a few more people to bear the responsibility, so that everyone could be a witness.

This messenger came all the way on a fast horse, drenched in sweat, glanced at the tent, picked up the arrow of the king of Chu, and shouted: "Shandong deputy general Liang Pukuan quickly received the order, the king of Chu of the Ming Dynasty has an order, ordering you to immediately gather your subordinates to gather in the urn city, all officers and soldiers are not allowed to enter and leave the urn city without authorization, the original defense of Zhengyangmen is handed over to the new army, there must be no mistakes!" ”

Liang Pukuan was stunned, in fact, many people in the tent were stunned.

If the king of Chu issued an order to strengthen their vigilance, it would be said in the past, but an hour ago, the regent had already ordered them to strictly guard and guard Zhengyangmen, but now? Now it is the king of Chu who tells them to roll aside to play in the mud, the orders of these two highnesses can be said to be contrary, the biggest question is, who should they listen to?

After all, the regent is in charge, and the king of Chu is too powerful, and now he is like Zhongtian, and whoever he offends is a fatal matter.

"Is it wrong, His Royal Highness the King of Chu ......" Liang Pukuan asked, he was a little weak-hearted, and felt that it seemed too unusual today, and he was afraid that something big would happen.

The envoy sneered: "There is no mistake at all, this is an order conveyed by the King of Chu himself." The king of Chu said, those who disobey the order will be killed! ”

The messenger said without hesitation.

Wrong!

The generals in the tent looked at each other, it was so wrong, everyone had realized that the Jingshi was definitely going to make a big deal today.

Many people have begun to think about where they should be on this cusp.

Liang Pukuan was also embarrassed, he was restrained by the King of Chu back then, he had already seen the power of the King of Chu, and he had already had an idea in his heart, it was good to provoke anyone in this world, that is, he could never provoke the King of Chu, provoke others to lose face, and provoke the King of Chu to die.

But if you don't provoke it, the regent is the main master, if he is from the king of Chu today, he will have a good life in the future?

However, Liang Pukuan is a very smart person, and people who are not smart have already become stepping stones for others, since he did not agree or refuse, but did not say anything.

Because he knows that if he doesn't say anything, someone will definitely say it.

The generals in the camp really had a voice, and it was the general Zhang Yuan who spoke, Zhang Yuan was not a big boss, but he was a straight intestine, he smiled coldly: "I only obey the dispatch of the military department, when can the king of Chu be transferred, what does the king of Chu want to do, do you want to plot against him?" ”

This sentence is very serious, almost equivalent to scolding Liu Chengfeng for rebellion, in fact, the reason why Zhang Yuan tore his face, the reason is also well known, a few months ago when he was fighting with the Mongols, Zhang Yuan's cousin was directly cut by Liu Chengfeng because he violated the military order, but at that time, Zhang Yuan was at a loss, and he was controlled by the king of Chu, so he didn't dare to say anything, but now it is different, Zhang Yuan stood up, and he did not have the intention of revenge.

And the rest of the people are different, they neither dissuaded Zhang Yuan, nor did they make any statement, they are all waiting, everything is fake for these Qiu Ba, now Zhang Yuan has made a bird, but I want to see how you deal with it, if Zhang Yuan is fine, everyone will have no scruples, but if Zhang Yuan is ...... The envoy of the King of Chu just glanced at Zhang Yuan coldly, his face was indifferent, and said, "Bold, you dare to slander His Royal Highness the King of Chu?" ”

Zhang Yuan said with an angry face: "Transferring troops in Gyeonggi without authorization, this is still slandering with this general, get out of here!" ”

He had already held down the hilt of the knife at his waist, ready to attack at any moment.

The envoy of the King of Chu looked very calm, he stared at Zhang Yuan, and finally gently spit out a word: "Kill!" ”

When he said to kill, the messenger obviously did not mean to draw the embroidered spring knife from his waist, he put his hands behind his back and did not move.

At this time, there was a change in the account.

Suddenly, a personal soldier suddenly jumped out, drew his long knife, and killed Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan had already been vigilant, smiled coldly, and also drew his sword to face each other, but after all, he was one step slower than his own soldiers, so he had to hold his knife and retreat sharply, he laughed coldly: "It turns out that there are also dogs in our camp......

At this point, he suddenly froze, a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes, and then his face turned pale as paper.

In his chest, a long sword pierced directly from behind, dripping with blood.

It was not his own soldiers who killed him, but a military attache standing behind him, Zhao Cheng, the garrison officer in the army.

The personal soldiers are factory guards, and this garrison officer is also a factory guard, and there are more than 40 people in the tent, two of whom are secret agents of the factory guards.

The garrison officer Zhao Cheng had a hideous face and drew his long sword, while Zhang Yuan lost his center of gravity and fell in a pool of blood.

This scene made everyone a little hairy, and even many people began to look around them vigilantly, vigilantly looking at the robes and colleagues around them, who can guarantee that there are also factory guards mixed among them, usually calling them brothers, drinking with them and visiting the kiln together.

This is a very vivid lesson, at least it teaches everyone a truth, those who have been prostitutes together may not be comrades-in-arms!

The pro-soldier and the garrison Zhao Cheng had already collected the knife, and the pro-soldier saluted the envoy and said, "See you in the Dongchang Fanjun Zhou Hai." ”

The other said: "Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi Zhao Cheng greets!" ”

Such a change made the atmosphere in the tent freeze all of a sudden.

Who would have thought that the people closest to him might be the factory guards, and who knows how many secret agents there are in this battalion in addition to the two fans and captains in front of them.

Deputy General Liang Pukuan glanced at Zhang Yuan, who was already dead, and was drenched in cold sweat.

Ai Ai hurriedly said: "The king of Chu already has a royal order, and we will naturally abide by it, so I will withdraw the officials and troops of Zhengyangmen and change guards with the new army." ”

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… The Ministry of Rites is now empty, except for some officials who are sitting in the hall here, most of the rest of the officials have gone to join in the fun.

After all, this is the central yamen of the imperial court, and there is a team of errand guards outside, and the officials who usually go in and out are officials, so the supervision is not strict.

It's just that when countless envoys went to the battalions, a group of officers and soldiers appeared in the hall of the ceremonial department.

That's right, it was the officers and soldiers, wearing brand new uniforms, holding swarthy firecrackers in their hands, and everyone was expressionless, and immediately surrounded the place.

In fact, it is not only the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites that is fenced up, but also the six departments of the Beijing Division, what else is the Qintianjian, Dali Temple, Honglu Temple, and Shuntianfu have been treated like this, and the officers who led the team are full of murderous gas, and drove away the messengers who guarded the door, and the messengers are not stupid, and the comers are not good.

The hall official inside was startled when he saw this, and when he saw that these new troops were only surrounding the yamen, but did not make any other moves, he was angry and anxious, and hurriedly came out to negotiate.

"Presumptuous, whose subordinates are you, do you know what kind of place this is, you dare to lead troops to surround the Ministry of Rites, do you suffer from sin?"

The team officer looked at the official of the Ministry of Rites with an expressionless face, as if he was like a machine, and said step by step: "There is a chaotic party in Beijing, we are ordered by the king of Chu to protect the various officials of the Beijing division, idle people, etc., all retreat, the king of Chu has an order, whoever dares to make a mistake, will be punished for assisting the chaotic party!" ”

This sentence is really funny in the eyes of the court officials, King Chu ...... The king of Chu is just a vassal king, why is he so presumptuous? The hall official sneered: "Even if there is a chaotic party, it should be the will of the palace or the royal order of the regent, are you the official army of the Ming Dynasty, or the official army of the Chu Domain?" ”

In the face of the accusation, the team officer was still expressionless, and said, "We are His Majesty's official army." ”

Your Majesty...... The cousin's face became serious, and he had a very bad premonition, where is Your Majesty? The so-called Your Majesty has been missing for an unknown amount of time, and even many people have long forgotten about this Majesty, and now the new army is playing the sign of Your Majesty, what does it mean?

Seeing that he still didn't leave, the officer waved his hand and said: "It's dangerous here, in order to ensure the safety of your lords, come here, invite your lords in, everyone cheer up, strictly guard against death, and don't let the thieves succeed." ”

"Yes." Everyone shouted, and a few new officers and soldiers pushed this hall official into the office, and this hall official's black gauze hat was crooked, and he couldn't help shouting: "It's the opposite, someone is going to rebel!" ”
