Chapter 2: Attacking the Qianqing Palace (II)
After a while, there was a sound of gold and iron clashing and screams behind the door, and the Xihua Gate opened with a "squeak".
A Jinyi guard saluted Guocheng and reported: "Lord Baihu, Xihuamen has been captured by us, 21 enemies have been killed, and Jiang Ting of Jinyi Wei has been killed. ”
"I'll see." Zhu Cheng hurriedly stepped forward, and several personal soldiers hurriedly followed. Now the palace is full of enemies, and it is too dangerous to go alone.
The guards of Xihuamen are naturally not just the fans of Dongchang, but the original guards know that this time it is a fight between the gods, who would dare to come and mix it, so how far and how far to hide, even if there is no way to hide far, they also pretend to be sculptures on the wall, otherwise where can more than a dozen people take Xihuamen.
After Zhu Cheng turned the door, there were hundreds of sculptures far and near, and there were more than 20 people dressed in Dongchang lying on the ground, and Jiang Ting fell in the middle of the corpses of the four Dongchang fans.
Zhu Chenghu's eyes were full of tears, this was the first time that a soldier he recruited had died in battle. Four years of living and training together made him and the warrior have a strong friendship, and the sudden loss of one made his heart feel as if a piece had been gouged out.
Yang Lian persuaded: "Lord Zhu, the general will inevitably die on the battlefield, and the soldiers will inevitably die on the battlefield, don't be too sad, it's better to hurry up to the Qianqing Palace to rescue the crown prince." ”
Zhu Cheng controlled it for a while, then reluctantly withdrew his tears, and said to Jinyiwei: "Take Jiang Ting, let's go to Qianqing Palace together, this time we are here together, and we will go back together!" When you leave, cut off all the heads of Dongchang Fanzi and take them away! ”
Yang Lian saw that the brocade guards took out embroidered spring knives and cut off the heads of Dongchang Fanzi. There were also a few seriously injured people in the middle who did not die, and begged for mercy, but to no avail, they were still cut off their heads.
Yang Lian couldn't help but gasp, after all, he was a civil official, where had he ever seen such a cruel scene. After thinking about it, he understood again that Daming's military exploits were calculated by heads, and a head was counted as a merit, and after killing so many people this time, it was natural to cut off the head to count the merit. After the brocade guards cut off the human head, there was nowhere to put it, so they tied the head of the human head around their waists, looking hideous and terrifying, like a demon from hell.
After walking a few steps, the brocade guard who was carrying Jiang Ting on his back suddenly said happily: "Brother Jiang is not dead, he is not dead." ”
Zhu Cheng turned around and touched Jiang Ting's snort, although it was weak, but it was long, and it seemed that he would not be able to die for a while, so he said: "Brother Jiang has a big life, but he is seriously injured and urgently needs medical treatment, we can take the Qianqing Palace, we can find the imperial doctor to help treat it, if we can't capture the Qianqing Palace, we will die with Jiang Ting." ”
All the brocade guards responded in unison: "Live and die together, live and die together!" ”
As he spoke, the pace of the brocade guards quickened.
Yang Lian couldn't help but secretly praise Zhu Cheng for being very good at boosting morale, linking Jiang Ting's life and death with the success or failure of the attack on the Qianqing Palace, and using brotherly love to inspire the soldiers to move forward bravely.
When the Xihua Gate was captured, the fans guarding the Xihua Gate were all killed, and no one ran out to report the news, so the Dongchang Fanzi guarding the other entrances did not come to reinforce. Most of the guards in the forbidden palace knew that Li Xuanzhi had detained the crown prince, and the officials had a dispute with Li Xuanzhi. The journey from Xihuamen to Qianqing Palace is very peaceful, but if Yang Lian does not come with him this time, it will be troublesome, where will the guards of the Forbidden Palace lightly let a group of soldiers with swords enter the palace.
When I came to the Qianqing Palace, the ministers were arguing with the eunuchs in the palace, the eunuchs greeted the minister's parents and ancestors, and the ministers talked about the eunuch's lost little brother, which was really full of people.
"How's it going?" Zhu Cheng asked Liu Yixiu.
Liu Yixiao trembled and said with his ripped official robes: "These geldings, the gate is quite tightly guarded, and we didn't rush in a few times." ”
Zhu Cheng looked around and saw that most of the officials present had blue noses and swollen faces, so he said to Liu Yixie: "Please ask Lord Liu to ask the other adults to take a few steps back, let Jinyiwei do this kind of rough work." ”
Liu Yixiao hurriedly asked the ministers to retreat and make room for Jinyiwei.
Zhu Cheng clasped his hands into a trumpet shape and shouted to the palace: "The thieves inside have listened, hurry up and let the prince and the prince out, otherwise the heavenly soldiers will attack, and you will die without a place to be buried." ”
Li Jinzhong was both happy and sad when he heard this, and he was happy that Zhu Cheng put the hat of a thief on Li Xuanzhi as soon as he came, and he was invincible first; The worry is that if he attacks hastily and accidentally injures the prince or prince, he will be to blame.
A few years ago, the Qianqing Palace was replaced with flat tempered glass, and the chief eunuch saw the brocade guard with a human head on his waist through the glass window, and he was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and he crawled to Li Xuanzhi and said: "Niangniang, big, big, big things are not good, Zhu Cheng took a large group of brocade guards to surround the Qianqing Palace. ”
After all, Li Xuanzhi had gone through the storms, but now he calmed down and said: "He may not dare to make a move, how can I say that he is also the concubine of the former emperor, and he can be regarded as his mother." The Ming Dynasty rules the world with benevolence and filial piety, so I don't believe that he dares to do it. ”
The chief eunuch said: "Zhu Cheng is extremely violent, he has already killed the Dongchang guards guarding the door, and his head is cut off and pinned to his waist." ”
Hearing that he had cut off his head and pinned his head to his waist, Li Xuanzhi trembled, as if she saw Zhu Cheng cut off her head with a knife, and then carried her bloody head and smiled.
Li Xuanzhi said: "Quick, get ready, let's go through the back door." ”
Before she finished her words, she heard endless screams, and Zhu Cheng had already led people to attack her.
Seeing Zhu Cheng raising troops to attack, the Qianqing Palace had already been closed and locked. But how can this level of blocking stop Jinyiwei. Their guns smashed the glass on the windows with a few slashes, and then they jumped into the hall and opened the door.
Zhu Cheng rushed into the hall and shouted: "All the people squatted down, holding their heads in their hands, and if they dared to move, they would not be spared." ”
Most of the eunuchs and palace maids squatted down, but there were also a few diehards of Li Xuanzhi who still wanted to fight with Jinyiwei, and a few shots stabbed them over, becoming a broken sieve. Seeing that Jinyiwei really dared to make a move, and then looked at the human head pinned to their waists, there was no one who was ready to move.
Because the prince brothers could not be seen in the main hall, Zhu Cheng dared to be so arrogant. Otherwise, the prince brother was stunned, did not obey the order, and accidentally became a target, Zhu Cheng would regret it for the rest of his life, uh, no, there is no chance to regret it, and those ministers outside will tear him apart.
Zhu Cheng walked into the side hall on the right, and Li Xuanzhi, the prince's brothers, and Li Jinzhong were all inside. It's just that Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youxiao were being monitored by two strong people, with a hand around their necks, and they were about to break their necks at any time when they saw the situation. Li Jinzhong was knocked to the ground, with one foot on his body, it seemed that he was desperately trying to save the prince just now, but he had more than enough strength and was not enough, and even got into it himself.
Zhu Youzhen was choked by the neck, unable to speak, his lips moved, vaguely: "Brother Cheng, help!" ”
Seeing this, Zhu Cheng's eyes were split, and he said: "Traitor, don't let go of the prince and the prince quickly, and be arrested!" ”
Li Xuanzhi sneered: "I think you should bind yourself and ask for guilt." I am the concubine of the first emperor, you are the son of the first emperor, and you should call me my mother. Besides, now that Zhu Youxiao's brothers are in my hands, if the fish dies and the net is broken, I will not suffer a loss by exchanging one for two. ”
The archer Yu Liang just wanted to draw the bow, Zhu Cheng stretched out his hand to stop him, these two hostages are too important, one is his brother, the other is the future emperor, and he can't take the slightest risk.
Zhu Cheng suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "What do you want?" ”
Li Xuanzhi said: "At first, I wanted to save my life, but seeing that you value the prince brother so much, I think my requirements seem to be a little lower." Now, you kneel down for the mourners. ”
Zhu Cheng thought for a long time, and finally said helplessly: "I am in my body, and I can't give full courtesy." ”
As he spoke, Zhu Cheng knelt down on one leg.
Just as Li Xuanzhi's men and horses secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the situation had been controlled by themselves, Guocheng took two steps forward with his left leg, and at the same time drew a knife with his right hand and put it on Li Xuanzhi's neck. This time, the rabbit fell up, and when everyone looked at it, Li Xuanzhi had already fallen into Zhu Cheng's hands.
It turned out that Zhu Cheng had already planned it, and when he was about to kneel, he had already quietly moved two steps to Li Xuanshi, and when he knelt on one leg, he took a step closer. When Li Xuanzhi thought that the overall situation had been fixed, it was difficult to surprise him, and finally reversed the situation.
