Chapter 208: Heavy Rain. riot
Bao Yi kept whipping his war horse, braving the heavy rain and galloping towards the Yang family in Jingmingfang, fortunately, there were no pedestrians on the street in the heavy rain, so he could gallop by, and lightning exploded in front of him, as if to split the road for Bao Yi.
Jingmingfang is next to the east wall of the imperial city, Bao Yi rushed to the front of Yang's house, suddenly reined in the war horse, the war horse neighed, and the person stood up, and before it could step down on its high raised front hooves, Bao Yi had already run up the steps, and slammed the door with his hands and feet.
Yang Yi was a little bored tonight, and he hadn't fallen asleep yet, when he saw Bao Yi running in front of the concierge at home, he rushed in with a panicked face, and he knew that something was wrong!
"Oh no, my lord! Your Majesty! The commander of the army in front of the palace made Deng Xi rebel in the palace......"
"Bi'er! Take the official robes of this official! Yang Yi didn't wait for Bao Yi to finish speaking, and immediately commanded Han Bi'er loudly.
After changing into the official robe, he instructed again: "You go to your mother's room together, the door of the house is closed, and it must not be opened unless I call you, notify Lin Miao, as well as the nursing home of the family, and guard the door!" ”
By the time the last sentence fell, Yang Yi's figure had already disappeared into the wind and rain.
The two fast horses rushed out of Jingmingfang again, and learned more important things from Bao Yi along the way, and Yang Yi was also very anxious in his heart.
Although there are rebellions in the Great Song Dynasty from time to time, but the capital has always been calm, the relatives of the emperor in Beijing, the powerful and wealthy families have little real power, the garrison system of each army is even more strict, and the layers are subdivided, there was a fire in the capital during the Taizong period, the three yas did not get the order of the Privy Council to transfer troops, and they transferred troops to fight the fire without authorization, and the chief officials of the three yas were almost all beheaded afterwards.
Under this strict system, even if someone in Beijing wants to make a rebellion, it is impossible to mobilize too many troops, in the eighth year of Qingli, there was also a rebellion in the palace guards, and the rebel army trapped Renzong and Empress Cao in the palace, and the situation was also extremely critical, but at that time, the rebel leader Yan Xiu was able to gather only a few dozen people.
But now I know from Bao Yi that not only is there a rebellion in the palace, but there seems to be something wrong in the city, including the mansions of Prime Minister Zhang Duan and Privy Envoy General Xu, which have been besieged, and although Li Yizhong has a will, the troops that can be mobilized in a hurry are only about 200 people, and they are desperately attacking the palace from Xuande Gate.
Li Yizhong's direction of force is not wrong, the key now is to control the palace first, but it is obvious that this is not a rebellion improvised by the sergeants and soldiers, but a well-planned and orderly conspiracy, which can be known from the fact that they besieged the mansion of Zhang Dian and others, but did not immediately break down and kill.
When Yang Yi and Bao Yi rushed to the Xuande Gate, the entire Xuande Gate had been opened, and the sound of shouting and killing came from the left and right Shenglongmen on both sides of the Daqing Hall inside, in the pouring rain, Li Yizhong took the lead and rushed to open the right Shenglongmen, the rebels inside were desperately blocked by flesh and blood, and the two sides repeatedly snatched in the Youshenglongmen.
"Rebellious ministers and thieves, don't hurry up and arrest them!" Li Yizhong roared like thunder, the bow and arrow he was good at couldn't be used in the rain, and he slashed forward with a big knife, bang! As soon as he slashed the head of a stabbing spear, he saw an object on his head whistling and smashing, and Li Yizhong slashed wildly while retreating.
With a bang, a box was chopped by him and wooden blocks flew one after another, but more things flew out of it, and tables, chairs, flower stands, etc., were constantly clattering, and for a time they were filled with the Right Ascending Dragon Gate, making Li Yizhong's attack even more difficult.
Yang Yi stepped on the blood and rushed to the right dragon gate, and shouted: "Li Yizhong! ”
"Whoa!" Li Yizhong reflexively responded, and after seeing the person clearly, he couldn't help but rush up and shout excitedly: "My lord, you are here!" The rebels are stubbornly defending the Shenglong Gate, and we will wait...... Yang Yi interrupted him violently and said, "Where is the holy decree for you to transfer troops?" ”
"Here!" Li Yizhong just took out the holy decree, Yang Yi grabbed it and stuffed it into his arms, "There is a holy decree, no matter who comes forward to stop it, kill me!" No matter what, rescue Empress Liu and Concubine Zhu. ”
"My subordinates understand."
"Bao Yi, bring a few people with me!"
Bao Yi immediately beckoned ten soldiers, jumped on his war horse and rushed out of Xuande Gate with Yang Yi, Li Yizhong didn't know what to do, but Yang Yi's order was very clear, he didn't think much about it, turned around and entered the Shenglong Gate.
Yang Yi rode out of Xuande Gate to the east with a dozen or so horses, crossed the east wall of the imperial city and then folded to the north, and rushed to Donghuamen Street, lightning and thunder, hooves like thunder, torrential rain, twelve horsemen rushed through the layers of rain curtains, rushed to the north!
Tremble in the balance! 1,000 evenly shot! It's like a stalemate in front of you, whoever can capture the flag first will win! Maybe it's only one point, maybe it's only one second, and the entire pattern of the Great Song Dynasty will be greatly changed!
Running wildly, Bao Yi asked loudly: "My lord! Where are we going? ”
"Yaohua Palace!"
"Yaohua Palace?"
"Not bad! This is a well-planned conspiracy, no matter who planned it and how it was carried out, in the end, the restless lord of Yaohua Palace must be brought out, without that lord, even if they control the palace, they can only become a group of rebels who everyone can get and condemn, now, we have to control this lord first. ”
Bao Yi felt a thrill in his heart when he heard this, and said no more, whipping his war horse and following Yang Yi closely behind him and galloping north...
When Zhangdun's mansion was besieged, he was already asleep, and his staff member Yu Tao shouted at his bedroom door: "Xianggong! The big thing is not good, the gate of the house is surrounded by a team of forbidden troops! Hurry up! ”
Zhang Dian immediately sat up, and soon he figured out that there must have been an accident in the palace, otherwise who would have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall and dared to surround the Prime Minister's Mansion?
"Someone! Change! Zhang Duan snorted coldly.
Rumble! A lightning bolt illuminated the compound, the bedroom door opened, and Zhang Dun, dressed in a prime minister's official robe, walked out of the room, his angular face was like a thousand years of ice, and he asked in a deep voice: "Besides, is there any other news?" ”
Yu Tao hurriedly replied: "The Prime Minister's Mansion has just been besieged, and it is not allowed to enter or exit, and it is unknown what has happened outside." ”
"How many people are coming from outside the house?"
"Up and down fifty."
"Gather the guards at home and go out of the house with the official!" Zhang Dian smiled coldly and said, "It seems that someone is bullying the old man!" ”
Yu Tao was in a trance all of a sudden, it's been twenty years! Opened the dusty resume of Zhang Dan, but can still smell the strong smell of blood, think back then, since the founding of the Song Dynasty has been in rebellion endlessly, was killed by Zhang Dun all the way, from the south bank of Dongting Lake to the edge of Dali Kingdom, the mountain barbarians who killed the chaos still do not dare to speak lightly of rebellion. Zhang Dian is not one of those masters who only know how to be tactful!
The door of the Prime Minister's Mansion slowly opened, and Zhang Dian walked out with a cold face, surrounded by twenty or thirty guards, as well as dozens of ordinary family members with sticks in their hands.
"Go back! We are here, and the people in the prime minister's mansion are not allowed to go out of the house for half a step before dawn, and those who violate it will be killed! One of them drew their swords and yelled with a fierce expression.
"Blind your dog's eyes, can't you recognize the left servant of the court? Saye has come to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he doesn't know what is dead or alive! Don't mix it up yet! Yu Tao stepped forward and scolded angrily, and with a wave of his sleeves, he almost waved it on the head and face of the capital.
Nadu did not retreat, and replied calmly: "The villain is in his body, and he can only offend Zhang Xianggong!" Zhang Xianggong, please go back, don't make it difficult for the villain! ”
"Soldiers surround the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Zhang Dian coldly forced up, until Nadu Tou took three steps back, and then pointed at Nadu Tou and shouted angrily, "Who gave you the order?" Who gave you the guts? Ben Xiang wants to go to face Jun immediately, who dares to stop him? Don't let the old man mess with it yet! ”
It is not surprising that Zhang Dun, as the prime minister, would kill him in vain without being convicted, even if he regained control of the imperial power to the empress dowager, it would be difficult to block the mouth of the world, and the new party that controlled the power of the court would definitely fight back.
Because this has gone beyond the unspoken rules of the political game, the prime minister has been blatantly killed, who has a neck that is harder than the prime minister? What's more, the Great Song Dynasty still has the ancestral system of not killing scholars, and the prime minister is the representative of scholars.
"Come on, please go back to your home!"
The head of the capital could not retreat, and he roared loudly, and the soldiers behind him hesitated, and rushed up a few people to escort Zhang Duan back to the house.
As soon as Zhang Duan saw the other party's posture, he must have scolded the other party and would not give way, these people didn't dare to do anything to themselves, the purpose was just to drag themselves down.
Although Zhang Dian didn't know what was going on, he knew that he couldn't delay it, not for a moment! So he immediately shouted, "Come on! Hit out the real picture! Who dares to stop the official from facing the king, and the conspiracy to rebel, and kill him! ”
As soon as Zhang Dian gave an order, the twenty or thirty guards behind him suddenly pounced up, and rushed out to protect Zhang Tun. The two sides suddenly fought together, those soldiers had scruples, and did not dare to kill them, but Zhang Dan's guards did not have the slightest politeness, forcing the soldiers who blocked the road to retreat step by step, and they were all anxious, gritted their teeth and shouted: "Except for Zhang Xianggong, if anyone else dares to rush out, they will be killed!" ”
Burst! One of the guards beside Zhang Dian was pierced through the stomach with a shot, and blood flew out, blood! Finally blood! The scarlet eyes are full of scarlet, and the rain can't go away!
Kill!
I don't know who shouted loudly, and the bloody fight was like a tiger being released from an iron cage, constantly devouring human life.
Zhang's guards had no armor on their bodies, and they had no experience in fighting in formations, and the casualties increased sharply, and more than ten people were stabbed and fell to the ground in a tea light, and were forced back into the gate, Zhangdun roared and raised his sword to rush out first, and was hugged by Yu Tao...... "Get out!" This official is ordered to take over Yaohua Palace! Those who dare to block will be killed! Yang Yi shouted, and the dark clouds covered the snow with four hooves in the air, and fiercely rushed straight to the gate of Yaohua Palace.
Boom! The two spears came, Yang Yi swung his knife and slashed out, and between the sparks, the two spears were split, and the front hooves of the dark clouds covered the snow with a bang, and the two soldiers guarding the gate screamed and rolled out, narrowly avoiding the iron hooves that stepped on the head.
"The holy purpose is here, this official has been ordered to transfer troops to take over Yaohua Palace, who dares to resist the order!" Yang Yi continued to drink violently, and Meng Zhonghou rushed up with nearly a hundred soldiers as if he had never heard of it.
Yang Yi immediately retreated after the temptation, and shouted to Bao Yi: "The main lord must still be in Yaohua Palace, I will transfer troops, you are here to monitor, and delay the main lord to enter the palace as much as possible!" ”
After Yang Yi finished the order, he rushed west along the street with two soldiers, and the dark clouds covered the snow in the torrential rain, and they were as fast as flashing!
Two miles to the west, the Japanese army camp!
