Andingmen, one of the nine gates in Beijing.

The nine gates of the Beijing division go to nine cars, the two gates of the north of the Beijing division are Desheng Gate and Anding Gate respectively, the north belongs to Xuanwu according to the stars, and the main sword soldiers of Xuanwu are the main swordsmen. Therefore, the troops sent out of the city from the Desheng Gate to fight, and won the victory. When the squad returned to Beijing, they entered the city from Anding Gate, which was the gate for the troops to return victoriously.

Inside the Anding Gate, Zhenwu Temple.

Zhenwu Temple, commonly known as the Palace of God, enshrines Emperor Zhenwu. There are nine gates in the Jingshi, and the remaining eight gates are all closed in the temple of the emperor in the urn city, and only the Anding Gate is built in the Zhenwu Temple.

Liu Qiao stood in front of the statue of Emperor Zhenwu in the temple, looking at the Arctic Xuantian God who stepped on the turtle and snake and was dressed in handsome clothes, and was silent for a long time.

"According to legend, the birth of Xuantian God was the dream of Queen Shansheng in ancient times to swallow the sun and become pregnant. The prince was born in his mother's arms for 14 months, and when the prince grew up, he left home and abandoned the country and entered Wudang Mountain to learn the Tao. His father, the king, missed the prince and sent 500 warriors into the mountains to explore, but the warriors followed suit. The prince practiced in Wudang for forty-two years, his merits were complete, he soared in the day, and was named a Xuanwu real person by the Jade Emperor, and five hundred warriors also ascended to the immortal and became five hundred spirit officials. ”

Luo Ping'an, the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, walked into the hall and said slowly.

"Gong Bao, if these five hundred warriors chose to obey the king's order and brought back the prince, then maybe there would be no prince's later merits, and the prince would not be able to become a Xuanwu real person, and the warriors would not be able to ascend to the immortal to become a spiritual official."

Liu Qiao stared at the statue of Emperor Xuanwu, but remained silent.

"When I used to be a guard for the county king, I once heard the county king say that great history is often created by some small people."

"It is said that at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Taizong's Xuanwu Gate was successful, and it was the Xuantian God who appeared to help the war, and later Taizong named Xuanwu Zhenjun as the Blessed Saint Xuanwu Lingying Zhenjun. Later, Song Zhenzong avoided Zhao Xuanlang's mystery and changed his title to Emperor Zhenwu. ”

Anding Gate, the gate of collecting troops. Today, Liu Jun will enter Beijing from Andingmen.

But Liu Qiao didn't know how to face Liu Jun, too many things happened in Jingshi, and many things were not even told to Liu Jun at all.

The matter has been done, but he is very worried in his heart.

The evening breeze in April rolled up his clothes, and from a distance, Liu Qiao, who was in a blood-red robe, was like a spiritual official under the throne of Emperor Zhenwu.

Liu Yunzhen strode into the hall and reported loudly at the door, "Father, General Luo, the king of the county is about to enter Beijing." The Forward Guard was only five miles from the city. ”

"Are you finally back?" Liu Qiao, who was dressed in crimson, raised his eyebrows, "Chief of Staff Fu Shan, Commander Zheng Zhilong, and Yunsheng are all here?" ”

"Father, we're ready." Liu Yunsheng, the commander of the Nine Gates, strode in, surrounded by Fu Shan, a staff member of the Privy Council, and Zheng Zhilong, the commander of the navy, and a large group of Chu generals.

Each man wore a full helmet and armor, and carried a sword and a short sword at his waist.

"Kung Pao, we." Fu Shan opened his mouth and opened his head, but he didn't know how to continue. It finally turned into a long sigh.

Luo Ping'an greeted him, "Fu Shuai, we just did what we should do and made up our minds for the king of the county." It's time too. It should not be chaotic, but it should be chaotic. Heaven gives it to take it, but it suffers from it. ”

"I'm afraid that the king of the county may not be happy."

A large group of high-ranking generals came out of the Zhenwu Temple in Wengcheng and came to Andingmen.

Settle inside and outside the door. There were soldiers all over the place, on the arrow tower, on the urn gate tower, and on the city tower. On the wall of the enemy tower, rows of Chu soldiers stood in full armor.

The nine-headed bird flag fluttered high in the wind on the city gate tower.

Under the twilight, the heavens and the earth were chaotic, and at the end of the official road, a piece of white appeared.

White flags, white linen.

Liu Jun, who was dressed in white and robed in white, rode a snow-white war horse, and suddenly appeared surrounded by a large number of soldiers in white linen robes.

The white flags fluttered, the horses marched slowly, the team was unusually dull, and only heavy footsteps could be heard.

The front is the capital, the tall and majestic Anding Gate, the group of military defense buildings composed of the city tower, the arrow tower, the gate tower and the urn city, the arrow tower is located on the city platform more than four zhang high, the ash tube tile green cut edge heavy eaves rest on the top of the mountain, the face is seven wide, the back out of the hugging building five rooms, the building is more than ten zhang high, the three walls outside the outside are set up and down four rows of arrow windows, a total of eighty-two holes.

Liu Jun didn't expect that he was just about to move to the Miyun front, but at this time he received an urgent edict from Beijing.

Emperor Longwu died.

The fact that Liu Jun found it hard to believe was that he had only been on the throne for half a year, and the emperor, who was only thirteen years old, died because of the accident caused by the operation of the artillery.

Zhu Cihong is a good child, and they get along well with the monarch and ministers, but they didn't expect to leave early in such a way.

The unexpected death of Emperor Longwu was not a good thing for Liu Jun. Prior to this, Liu Jun had finally controlled the court situation, perfect control, the young emperor, the first assistant who was completely suppressed by him and the ministers in the court, everything was going on in an orderly manner according to his plan.

Now that the Emperor has died suddenly, it will bring about a huge change, and it is likely that everything will have to be rearranged.

Liu Jun didn't like this result.

Originally, he should have been in Miyun at this time, and once again met the envoy of the Qing people to sue for peace. Liu Jun had already planned that this time he would reach a peace agreement with the Qing army, and he would force the Qing people to abandon Liaoxi, and he would not only take back Jinzhou and Guangning, but also let the Qing army retreat to the west of the Liao River.

However, after forcing the Qing people to hand over Liaoxi, Liu Jun did not plan to send troops to station immediately, nor did he want to arrange for the people to go back immediately. He planned to temporarily use Liaoxi as a military buffer zone between the Ming and Qing dynasties, turning it into a no-man's land, and every once in a while the Ming army would go over and sweep it.

Now, he had to go back to Beijing immediately.

The sudden death of the emperor will change too much, and Liu Jun hopes that he can control the situation, rather than let the situation in Beijing get out of control.

The bell bell rings for a long time.

Liu Jun dismounted in front of the city, and he saw that a large group of people had already greeted him in front.

Liu Qiao, dressed in a red robe, took the lead in riding a horse.

"You're finally back." There were many emotions in Liu Qiao's words.

"Is everything okay in Kyori?" Liu Jun looked at Liu Qiao's clothes and armament, and couldn't help asking.

"While you're away, something happened in the capital, and we didn't have time to inform you, so we had to make a claim first." Liu Qiaodao.

"Someone wants to take advantage of the fact that I am not in the court after the death of the Son of Heaven?"

Liu Qiao looked into his nephew's eyes and said in a deep voice, "Yes, Your Majesty made an edict when he was dying. With you as the only auxiliary minister, let you assist the king to succeed to the throne. As a result, Wu Fu conspired with Chen Xinjia, Ni Yuanlu, Fan Wenjing and others to make trouble, and then"

"And then what?" Liu Jun frowned, he realized that something important might have happened.

"Wu Fu and others colluded with the Xun relatives and many Beijing officials in Beijing, preparing to gather the family Ding to seize power in the palace, and they tried to buy the heart of the king of Dongchang. When Wang Zhixin learned of their attempt, he immediately told me about the plot, but we were still a step too late, when we took Wu Fu and the others who were secretly plotting. The two royal highnesses, King Ding and King Yong, have been poisoned by the chamberlains they bought. We took Ni Yuanlu and dozens of other rebellious ministers, and seized a large amount of evidence, including Wu Fu's secret letter to the Fu King of Luoyang, they poisoned the second queen of Yongding and prepared to welcome the Fu King into Beijing to succeed to the throne. ”

Liu Jun stared at Liu Qiao coldly.

He was angry now, and the last thing he wanted to face had happened. No matter what Liu Qiao says. He still quickly grasped a few results. First, Emperor Longwu died, and the heir to the throne designated in his edict, King Ding, also died, and now even Chongzhen's last prince, King Yong, is dead.

Second. When Wu Fu, the first assistant of the court, died, Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department, also died, and a number of important ministers such as the imperial history of Zuodu and the privy envoy were also arrested for the crime of treason.

This is the result of today.

As for the reason, he didn't want to explore. Did Wu Fu kill the two kings of Yongding, did he want to rebel, and did he secretly collude with King Fu? That's not the point. The point is the current situation.

This is a very dangerous situation.

Liu Qiao: They have pushed him to a point where they can't go back.

Even if Wu Fu really rebelled, the two kings of Yongding were really killed by them.

But will the world believe it? The people of the world will only see that the final result is that the Son of Heaven is dead, Chongzhen's only two remaining princes, Yongding and the two kings, were poisoned, and the first assistant Wu Fu and Chen Xinjia were killed for rebellion and stubbornness, and a large number of important ministers in the court such as Ni Yuanlu and Fan Jingwen, the privy envoy, were arrested for rebellion, as well as a large number of relatives in Beijing, who were also arrested in the rebellion.

It's a really bad mess.

No matter how you look at it, it seems that the one who has benefited the most from this turmoil is him Liu Jun.

What will they think? Perhaps many people will think that he single-handedly directed this turmoil, and even Liu Jun's first reaction after hearing the news was the same.

If the people of the world think like this, then they may react, and maybe many of the officials in those places, and even the clan kings, will crusade against him.

Liu Jun looked at his uncle Liu Qiao, who was obviously a little evasive of his gaze, and looked at the white hair on his temples, and felt more and more that the truth of this chaos might be cruel.

"Why don't you wait for me to come back, why do you want to kill Wu Fu and Chen Xinjia. Have you ever thought that you killed these two people, but you also put me in a situation where I can't turn around? ”

Liu Qiao finally raised his head at this time, he looked directly at Liu Jun's gaze, "If it is not broken or standing, why do you have to guard this mess, why don't you just smash him and start again?" I think it's time, this is a great opportunity, I know you've been hesitating, but I don't understand what you're hesitating about. If you don't want to take that step, we will help you make a decision and help you take that step. You don't have to do anything, we've done what needs to be done, you just need to accept the support of the soldiers and get to that position. ”

Liu Jun asked, "What else have you done?" I have long judged the situation and planned for it. ”

"No matter what plan you had before, no matter how good that plan was, it is no longer useful." Liu Qiao said slowly.

Liu Jun looked at him in surprise.

After Liu Qiao finished speaking, he slowly knelt down in front of Liu Jun.

He shouted, "Hooray! ”

The sound of long live was like a pebble thrown into the calm surface of the lake, causing ripples in circles.

Liu Yunsheng, the commander of the Nine Gates, walked in front of Liu Jun, knelt down to Liu Jun beside Liu Qiao, and shouted, "Long live!" ”

Liu Yunzhen, the captain of the guards, Luo Ping'an, the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and Zheng Zhilong, the commander of the navy, also knelt in front of Liu Jun and shouted long live.

Fu Shan, chief of the general staff of the Privy Council, also knelt down and shouted long live, and the eunuch Wang Zhixin, the commander of Dongchang, also knelt down and shouted long live.

Settle outside the door.

One by one, the officers knelt down and shouted long live from the mountains, and then one by one the soldiers knelt down and shouted long live from the mountains.

"Hooray, hooray, hooray!"

Countless long live voices gathered together, and became more and more neat, louder and louder, and finally the sound was like thunder, straight to the clouds.

Liu Jun was stunned on the spot, he was about to petrify when he sat on the horse.

The more than 1,000 soldiers behind him were also surprised at first, but soon, they all knelt down, followed by Qi shouting long live and bowing to Liu Jun.

"The king of the county, Emperor Longwu died, the two kings of Yongding were murdered by Wu Fu and other rebels, Emperor Chongzhen only left the son of the county king, and Emperor Longwu only left the brother of the county king, the sky cannot be without the sun, the country cannot be without a king, and our soldiers all support the county king to succeed the emperor!" Liu Qiao shouted.

"We all support the throne of the king, that is, the emperor!

At this time, the heart of the Admiral Wang of Dongchang was also like a trick, so he actually took out a Ming Huang dragon robe, walked up, and put it on Liu Jun's body without saying a word.

"The heart of the king of ministers to meet my emperor, long live long live, long live!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The mountain shouted four times, and in front of the stable door, countless people knelt down to Liu Jun. Between heaven and earth, it seems that only Liu Jun is left standing.

Yellow robe plus, is this the Ming Dynasty version of the Chen Qiao mutiny yellow robe plus? Liu Jun smiled bitterly in his heart, he didn't like the imperial robe on his body at all, it wasn't that he didn't want to be the emperor, but he didn't plan to do it now.

It is not difficult for Liu Jun to put on this imperial robe, as long as he wants to, he can put it on at any time and be the emperor at any time. He thinks further, he is not the kind of person who is anxious to sit on the throne a day or even an hour earlier.

He wasn't in such a hurry.

It's just that his subordinates can't seem to wait, they all want to see a change of dynasty as soon as possible. For them, being a courtier of the Ming Dynasty is more tempting than supporting Liu Jun as emperor and being the founding father?

Liu Jun is not in a hurry to become the emperor, but his subordinates are in a hurry to be the founding hero.

The imperial robe has been added, the mountain of Yongdingmen shouts long live, the soldiers stand up, and there is no room to turn back.

Whether Liu Jun wants it or not, he can only accept this result now and change his original plan.

Looking at the subordinates kneeling around, most of them were his old Chu army, but there were also former allies like Zheng Zhilong, and there were also officials in the former dynasty like Wang Zhixin.

Putting away the countless thoughts in his heart, Liu Jun gathered the yellow robe on his body, he knew that he had no second choice, what he had to do now was to be the emperor.

"All the soldiers are flat and enter the city!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" (To be continued.) )
