Under the helpless eyes of many honor guards, Qian Ning was escorted out of Tianjin City by a group of brocade guards.

Found a remote and quiet place outside the city, the brocade guards tied Qian Ning to a tree, Chang Feng pulled out a dagger from his waist, and looked at Qian Ning with a cruel smile.

Qian Ning was surrounded by great fear, and seemed to be delirious with fright, Yuan opened a pair of eyes that still couldn't believe it, and muttered in his mouth: "No, how could Qin Kan rebel?" How dare he rebel? How did he rebel? ”

"Tsk, Lord Qian is worthy of being the emperor's new favorite, and he is still worried about state affairs when he dies, these things you asked, when he goes to the underworld Huangquan, he has a good look, look at how our Grandpa Qin is turning over the clouds and rain, covering the sky with one hand, a miscellaneous piece raised by a gelding dog, letting you be a soothing is already a great gift from the grandfather, shameless to the face, vainly trying to replace Grandpa Qin, and killing the Quartet in Tianjin, ruining the father's half of his life's hard work, if you let you die happily today, I am sorry for you, do you know what it means to peel the skin and grass?"

"Peeling the skin and grass", pioneered by Hongwu Taizu, is actually very simple, that is, the human skin is peeled alive, and then the peeled human skin is filled with straw, and the human shape is made to stand on the side of the road, just like the farmland drives away the birds and sets up the scarecrow.

Qian Ning, who lost his mind, suddenly laughed wildly: "This must be Qin Kan's bluff!" You're scaring me. ”

Smiling and smiling, Qian Ning's expression gradually became hideous and distorted, and he said viciously: "I have endured humiliation for ten years, and I am not as good as a dog under Qin Kan's command, and now I am so easy to run smoothly, how can a small plan scare me?" Rebel? Does Qin Kan have this ability? The Beijing Division has twelve regiments and battalions, the Imperial Horse Supervisor, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and dozens of guards near the Beijing Division, what does Qin Kan have? Just the old team of Nanjing Jinyiwei who want to change the world, it's a dream! Chang Feng, you can't scare me, you don't dare to do it, I'm the Heavenly Patrol Hunting Mission, dare to touch a single hair of me, Qin Kan and you lackeys will never recover! ”

Chang Feng laughed, and the dagger in his hand kept flickering because of the trembling.

"Yes, yes, Lord Qian is so smart, Lao Tzu really doesn't dare to touch a single hair of you, you scared Lao Tzu......"

said that he didn't dare to make a move, but the dagger in Chang Feng's hand was unambiguous, the sharp tip of the blade was against Qian Ning's forehead, and with a slight stroke, Qian Ning's heavenly spirit cover suddenly cut through a terrible opening, and blood gushed out......

Qian Ning opened his mouth wide and howled miserably, his eyes were still round, his eyes were full of disbelief, he still didn't believe that Qin Kan really wanted to kill him, until Chang Feng almost finished removing the human skin on his face, Qian Ning finally completely despaired, and his consciousness fell into darkness forever.

After more than an hour, Chang Feng finally peeled off the entire human skin, and Qian Ning had already lost his breath, leaving only a flesh skeleton without human skin hanging his head weakly.

Chang Feng took two steps back, looking at the complete human skin in his hand, he seemed to be quite satisfied with his craftsmanship, and the corners of his mouth were a little perverted.

"On the way to Tianjin, I said that I would pick up his wolf skin, Lao Tzu did what he said, brothers, dig out the heart and lungs of this dog thief and see if it is born with a wolf heart and dog lungs, and this skin, fill in some straw and stand in this forest, so that those guys who eat inside and outside will see the end."

A secret report quietly entered the palace, as if it had hit Hong Zhong Dalu in his ears, and in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Houxi's ears were buzzing with shock, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and his face was as pale as the white lanterns of funerals hanging in front of the gates of many ministers' mansions.

"Northern Suburbs Daying...... Abnormal troop movements? Zhu Houxi held back a sentence with difficulty.

The little eunuch looked anxious, but still bowed his head and said: "Yes, since this evening, the dust and smoke in the camp in the northern suburbs have been everywhere, and the military orders have neighed one after another......

Zhu Houxi's face turned pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "What does the Liaodong Border Army mean by going straight to the 12th Regiment Battalion Station? What does it mean to cut off the official way? What does Ye Jinquan want to do? He...... He ......"

The little eunuch's forehead was sweating like pulp, and he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Ye Jinquan is afraid that he is going to rebel!" ”

Zhu Houxi's legs were weak and he almost fell, and the little eunuch told the fact that he had always been unwilling to admit.

"Why did he rebel?"

More than ten years ago, after Ning Guogong killed Li Gao, the chief soldier of Liaodong, he tried to protect Ye Jinquan as the deputy chief soldier of Liaodong, and then gradually promoted to the commander-in-chief, the governor, over the years, the personnel changes in the court, the courtiers only knew that Governor Ye was powerful in Liaodong, and he won many battles with the Tartars, and raised the prestige of my Ming Dynasty, but Ye Jinquan's birth in the Ningguo Mansion has gradually become unknown, His Majesty, Ye Jinquan has no reason to rebel, but Qin Kan ...... But for good reason. ”

Zhu Houxi thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but be shocked and angry: "After the disappearance of the imperial brother, there was a court discussion in the cabinet, Qin Kanyan said that he was worried that the feudal kings in various places were unstable, and the soldiers who had been slacking off in the regiment and battalion were not enough, so he suggested that the eastern border army of Liaodong should enter the customs to defend Jinggi, at that time, this reason was reasonable and impeccable. ”

Saying that, Zhu Houxi finally grinned and cried: "If you want to call the emperor himself, why do you want to call me to come to Beijing?" Why should I take my life? Today, the soldiers are coming to the city, how to teach me? ”

"Don't worry, your majesty has not been on the throne for a long time, there is no foundation in the court, a few days ago, more than 100 ministers died tragically in Chengtianmen, and the world is blaming your majesty for doing it, it is the time when you are embattled, the only person around you is Qian Ning, Zhang Xuan also, now Qian Ning is in Tianjin, why not summon Zhang Xuan into the palace to discuss?"

Zhu Houxi was so frightened that the six gods had no master at this time, and hurriedly nodded: "Yes, hurry up and announce that Zhang Xuan will enter the palace to see me." ”

"Also, today's Liaodong border army is about to move, and the slaves and maids think that appeasement is the first priority, especially to appease Ye Jinquan......"

Zhu Houxi woke up like a dream, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, first appease Ye Jinquan." ”

Then a fierce color flashed in Zhu Houxi's eyes: "Also, let Tengxiang's fourth battalion go out of the city to Ningguo Mansion, and take Qin Kan and his family down first!" ”

The northern suburbs of the camp commander's tent.

In the tent, there are two rows of Liaodong generals sitting on the left and right, most of them are young people in their twenties and less than thirty, these people are Ye Jinquan's henchmen, and they are also the young soldiers who were sent to Liaodong in batches to boil the chain.

Ye Jinquan sat in the middle of the tent in armor and helmet, dressed in standard war costumes, holding a bright yellow silk cloth in his hand, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Qin Feng Cheng Guogong, hereditary replacement, awarded the title of 'General of the Right Pillar Country', led the title of Governor of the Chinese Army, 50,000 soldiers in Liaodong were far away, and 500,000 taels of silver were given, and four general soldiers in the army were named marquis, and six generals were awarded uncles, each with the title of honor...... Tsk, good hand. ”

The generals in the tent laughed loudly, joked with each other, called each other a certain marquis and a certain uncle, and the handsome tent suddenly became a mess, but the eyes of everyone were clearly full of ridicule, and they sneered at the unprovoked titles and rewards.

They were all picked out by Ding Shun and Li Er from the camp camp in the past, gave them food and clothing, taught them to read and write, and sent them to Liaodong to experience the battle and battle.

Ye Jinquan's eyes also showed a smile, but he didn't say a word quietly, when the generals in the tent had made enough trouble, Ye Jinquan's face turned pale, and he shouted in a deep voice: "The generals will listen to the order!" ”

Everyone got up at the same time, and after a neat sound of the iron pieces of the armor leaf colliding, the two rows of generals had already bowed towards Ye Jinquan and clenched their fists.

"The last general!"

"Today is unkind, unrighteous and unfilial, Ben Shuai and Grandpa Qin are determined to enter the palace to admonish them!"

"I am willing to go with the handsome!"

"At this evening, tonight, the whole army will enter from the Chaoyang Gate, first capture the Nine Gates, and then enter the palace!"

When the words landed, the sky outside the tent suddenly exploded, and a dazzling lightning bolt cracked in the sky like a match.

The last thunderstorm in the late autumn of the fourteenth year of Zhengde arrived as scheduled.

…………

…………

A farm less than three miles away from the camp in the northern suburbs of Beijing is surrounded by Jinyi captains and border army soldiers, and the three layers inside and the outer three layers surround the farm as airtight as an iron bucket.

Qin Kan stood under the simple eaves, looking up at the thunderstorm pouring outside the house, but his mood was extremely calm and peaceful.

has come to this point, the arrow has left the string, the water has covered the ground, and there is no turning back, and the mood of the turmoil and ups and downs of the days is like an ancient well like a monk who has attained the Tao.

Coming to this world for more than ten years, I thought that I could change a qiē in a gentle drizzle, but in the end, after all, it was inevitable to kill people and shed blood, he had no choice, just because he still had too many ambitions that had not been realized, the vow he made in front of the tomb of Lu Zhilong on Chongming Island, more than ten years later, he asked himself, maybe he had done it, but he and many famous ministers would spend half a lifetime of hard work but because of a person's desire for power and completely wiped out, Qin Kan couldn't bear it anymore, he was afraid that he was sorry for his hard work and too many people.

A twelve-year-old child never knows how many people's life's work and even how many lives he is going to erase today.

Such a bear child can't help but smack him.

Suddenly an extra pair of hands appeared around his waist, and they wrapped him tightly, and the hands were very slender, but they trembled slightly, and I could see how frightened and uneasy their owner was at the moment.

Qin Kan smiled and turned to look at her.

"Xianggong, do you really want to admonish the soldiers?" Du Yan's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her pretty face was extremely pale under the light of lightning in the sky.

Qin Kan sighed: "Xianggong has no choice. ”

"It's okay if you don't want to be an official, take the initiative to resign from the lord, maybe it's ......"

Qin Kan said with a smile: "Others may be able to save their lives, but not Xianggong." ”

"Why not?"

"Because Xianggong's power is too great, and the central and local forces are deep-rooted, if he doesn't kill Xianggong, he will never be able to uproot these forces that threaten his throne, and in order to consolidate the throne, I can't help but die."

Du Yan lowered her head in disappointment and said, "Why do you have to kill them all? ”

Qin Kan smiled: "I don't want to die, and I don't want you and the children to die, so I have to resist,"

Gently hugging Du Yan, Qin Kan sighed: "Yan'er, Xianggong doesn't want to be the emperor, Xianggong just wants to save his life, save his own life and the life of his family, what I have done in my life is not divided into good and evil, good and evil, and I am worthy of my heart." ”

Du Yan nodded silently, leaning on Qin Kan's arms and quietly enjoying the rare peace.

In the downpour, a lieutenant braved the torrential rain and stood still in the courtyard of the farm, clasping his fists and said: "Grandpa, the lady and the family of the father-in-law have been properly settled, this place is a stone's throw away from the camp in the northern suburbs, and there are thousands of people around the farm, and the grandfather is not worried, and the carriage outside the door has been prepared." ”

Qin Kan nodded and said, "Enter the city and go to Yang Tinghe's mansion." ”rs
