4-39 The dust settles

Under the leadership of Yang Bo, the remnants of the Dongchang army rushed left and right in the capital, and finally broke through the heavy interception of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to the front of the camp in the north of the city, but they were shot by a burst of random arrows and suffered heavy losses.

"Don't get me wrong! We are from Dongchang, so call your commanders out to meet the Admiral! A fan shouted at the top of his voice, as long as the officers and soldiers of the northern battalion in the north of the city can be mobilized to kill back, there is still a chance to reverse the situation. At least that's what Yang Bo intended.

However, the figure that appeared on the high wall of the camp completely dispelled Yang Bo's delusion, Yuan Chonghuan had already changed out of the second-grade official uniform, and his head was exposed in a military uniform with a helmet and armor: "Yang Bo is a traitor!" Not yet awarded~! At the sound of the bangzi, another burst of random arrows was shot, and the neighing of war horses and the chaotic footsteps in the camp could be faintly heard.

"Not good! Come on! Seeing that the camp in the north of the city has been taken by Yuan Chonghuan, Yang Bo said in his heart that this matter is really over, hit the horse and run, the back of the camp door was wide open, and a cavalry tied to the red leader chased out, and the remnants of the Dongchang who did not ride a horse were slashed and killed, fortunately, Yang Bo was fast, with a hundred and ten subordinates who threw away their armor and abandoned their armor, rushed south, and met Xu Zengshou to pursue the Xiaoling guards, the fans knew that they did a lot of evil on weekdays, and the sins were heavy, if they surrendered, they had to be executed by Ling Chi, so they resisted desperately, The trapped beast was actually rushed out by them under the fight, went straight to the west gate of the water, rushed to the vicinity of the city gate, only to see the city gate wide open, and there were no defenders at the door, Yang Bo was overjoyed, and looked back on his subordinates and said: "The sky will not kill me, let's rush out of the capital, with the industry, money, and personnel accumulated in various places in the East Factory, we can casually support a prince to ascend the throne, or can make a comeback, and Zhu Youxiao's children will fight against each other!" ”

When the subordinates saw that they were about to escape, and then heard Yang Bo's bewitchment, they immediately lifted their spirits and rushed out of the west gate.

The west gate of the capital is an important city gate, not only has the water pass, but also the urn city, all kinds of defensive weapons are perfect, after the people in the east factory rushed out of the city gate, the front of them is not the outside of the city avenue, but the urn city with strong barriers, there is no one on the wall of the urn city, there is a strange silence, Yang Bo knows that it is not good, but there are chasing soldiers behind, he can only rush forward, he whipped a whip on the horse's buttocks, rushed to the gate of the urn city, said that it was too late, that time was fast, A thousand-pound gate fell violently when Yang Bo was about to rush out, sealing the city gate to death, and Yang Bo's war horse raised its front hooves in shock, looking up to the sky and neighing.

On the walls of the surrounding urn city, a large number of soldiers stood up, but they were not wearing the armor of the Ming army, but the black iron guard clothing, and the person was the former iron guard Qianhu, Li Yan, who is now the military division of the Red Shirt Regiment, this team of men and horses is the escort when Peng Jingrong sent weapons last time, and it came in handy at this time.

"Gonggong Yang, you really came to the West Gate, as Li expected, hahaha, don't be caught yet, when will you wait!" Li Yan looked up to the sky and laughed.

At this time, Yang Bo's one hundred and ten remnants had all entered the urn city, and the West Gate behind him did not know who had quickly closed it, and these remnants suddenly became the turtles in the urn.

"Drop or not! Drop or not! The guards roared in unison with Zhuge crossbows, Yang Bo wiped the sweat on his face, and looked back left and right, his subordinates were exhausted, the flying fish suit was soaked with sweat and blood, and the pale and beardless faces were full of despair.

Don't give up until the last minute! This is Yang Bo's life creed, the walls of the urn city are not very high, the scholar guy above seems to be the leader of the defenders, as long as he is captured as a hostage, and the defenders are forced to open the floodgates of the urn city, there is still a glimmer of life!

"Thirty years of hard work in martial arts is finally coming in handy." Yang Bo thought in his heart, his kung fu is not under the worship of the four major factories of the East Factory, but the East Factory is full of talents, and he has never needed to go out easily as the factory governor, and now for the sake of his subordinates, he is finally going to do it!

With a long roar, Yang Bo came on horseback to pull onions on dry land, jumped straight up, left foot point right foot, right foot point left foot, like a big eagle eagle rushed straight to Li Yan, the iron guards did not expect his martial arts to be so superb, from the short shock after waking up, they all raised the Zhuge crossbow to shoot at Yang Bo, the dense swordfish formed a barrage in front of Yang Bo, Yang Bo since he was a child to practice the iron arm leg kung fu is by no means a wave of false name, a pair of arms with pure steel arm sleeve dance impermeable wind, the arrows have been knocked to the ground, Only one arrow was lucky enough to hit his official hat, the bun spread out, and a gray head fluttered in the wind, matching Yang Bo's strange figure, hideous face, and terrifying abnormality.

Li Yan didn't move at all, a sneer appeared on his face, seeing his expression, Yang Bo in mid-air suddenly had a feeling of being on the sleeve, but at this time there was no room to turn back, so he had to continue to pounce, seeing him approaching, Li Yanxun flashed, revealing two soldiers with bazookas on their shoulders behind him.

The last thing Yang Bo saw were two whizzing iron bullets, and he tried to block them with his iron arms, but the two arms were easily torn apart like tofu, and then his own body, which exploded in an instant, and the sky was covered with blood.

"Yang Bo has already given it, if you don't put down your weapon yet, when will you wait?" Li Yan tidied up his clothes, which were a little embarrassed by the air waves and blood rain, and continued to appear on the city wall, shouting at the remnants of Dongchang Fanzi below.

"Avenge the overseer!" Witnessing Yang Bo's tragic death, the fans not only did not surrender, but were provoked to blood, those with bows and arrows drew their bows and arrows, and those without bows and arrows raised their weapons and climbed towards the urn city in vain.

"Kill!" Li Yan waved his hand fiercely, the Zhuge crossbow in the hands of the iron guards and the steam crossbow in the city wall poured down towards Weng City, and in less than a stick of incense, one hundred and ten Dongchang fans became hedgehogs, dead people and dead horses fell to the ground, each body had more than ten arrows inserted in it, the blood merged into a small river on the stone slab, and swarms of flies flew over.

Li Yan sighed and shook his head, not knowing if it was because he used too many arrows or because the killing was too heavy, "Open the door." ”

The iron guard opened the city gate and put the pursuers of Yuan Chonghuan and Xu Zengshou in the city to clean up the corpses, Yang Bo's level can no longer be found, but a pair of iron arms are still there, and they were taken by Li Yan, and the remaining levels of those fans were snatched up by officers and soldiers from all walks of life, Yuan Chonghuan and Xu Zengshou of course will not put down their worth and Li Yan to grab merit, and everyone has a share in the great merit of annihilating Yang Bo, and no one can monopolize it.

In the palace, the exquisite dishes in the imperial dining room are generally moved out for the soldiers to enjoy, and the soldiers of the red-shirted regiment are feasting on the spot on the square in front of the Qianqing Palace, and the plates and plates from the exquisite official kiln are placed on the ground like this, and the gold-inlaid ivory chopsticks are not used, and they directly stretch out a pair of big hands to grab the dishes and stuff them into their mouths, and pour the imperial wine into their throats, Qian Qianyi frowned, but the little emperor was also happy to follow them to mess around, and he couldn't say anything.

Although it is said that he has to drink 300 cups, but now that the rebellion has just been quelled, he must not be careless, so Liu Ziguang stipulated that each person is only allowed to drink one pot of wine, and it is all rice wine from the south.

Three thousand internal exercises have been escorted out of the palace and imprisoned in the nearby barracks, the queen mother has lost her support, of course, she can no longer rely on Kunning Palace, she was escorted by a team of red-shirt soldiers to move to Chunhe Palace, with only two personal palace maids by her side, after inviting the queen mother away, the rightful owner of Kunning Palace----- the current queen Xu Yuanhui moved in surrounded by twenty maids brought from the Guogong Mansion, and the elite red-shirted soldiers were escorted around the palace.

"Your Majesty, the eunuch party has been cleared, and the two younger brothers of the Queen Mother have all died in the fire of Fengtian Temple, you see...."Qian Qianyi cautiously asked Zhu Youxiao.

"Kill! Put her under house arrest for a few days first, and after the limelight, give her a glass of wine, and everything will be fine. Zhu Youxiao said without blinking.

"Never!" Qian Qianyi was worried about this, "No matter what the Queen Mother says, she is the nominal queen mother of Her Majesty, if she is removed like this, it will not provoke criticism from the world." ”

"She's not my queen mother, she's Lu Pheasant! It's Wu Zetian! Zhu Youxiao thought that his biological mother died in the hands of the Queen Mother, and his anger surged, but he was the emperor in the end, and he quickly realized that he was not calm, drank a glass of wine, calmed his emotions, and asked slowly: "What does Qian Aiqing mean?" ”

"The Queen Mother's wings have been removed, and it is no longer a threat, rather than getting rid of it, it is better to be under house arrest in the cold palace, and it is more painful for a person like her who is keen on power. And it can also fulfill His Majesty's filial piety. Qian Qianyi replied.

"What does Liu Aiqing think?" Zhu Youxiao turned to ask Liu Ziguang that Qian Qianyi and Liu Ziguang were his right-hand men, and neither of them could ignore their opinions.

"What Lord Qian said is extremely true." Liu Ziguang nodded and agreed with Qian Qianyi's suggestion. How can I say that the Queen Mother is a little kind to him, and now it is a bit immoral to fall into the well, and how much of a storm can an old woman without wings set off.

"That's good, depending on the two Aiqing, the Chunhe Palace is too good, choose a smaller palace as a cold palace, put the Queen Mother under house arrest, and leave this matter to the Minister of Imperial Guards of the Forbidden Road in the Inner Court." Zhu Youxiao saw that the opinions of the two members were unanimous, so he made a holy decree on the spot.

The Minister of Imperial Guards of the Forbidden Road in the Inner Court was the official title given to Liu Ziguang by Zhu Youxiao when he was in Xuanwu Lake before, in addition to this, there is a bigger general who protects the country and rebels, Zhu Youxiao has not forgotten, Liu Ziguang has not forgotten, at this moment the two glanced at each other and smiled knowingly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Liu Ziguang bowed his head and bowed, although this official title similar to the director of the Central Guard Bureau is not big, but it is quite powerful, and mastering the power of the palace forbidden army is equivalent to mastering the safety of the emperor, seeing that such an important official position was actually given to Liu Ziguang without consulting with himself, Qian Qianyi was very unhappy, he originally planned to arrange Qi Zhenming to do this position, but now the plan has been disrupted. Of course, he will not show the slightest unhappiness when he is old and sophisticated, but instead raise his glass to congratulate Liu Ziguang: "General Liu, congratulations on Gao Sheng." ”

"Rejoice, rejoice." Liu Ziguang happily stood up and touched a glass with Qian Qianyi, drank it all, and saw that the general was so harmonious, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but be overjoyed, and also raised his glass: "Two Qing family, I respect you!" ”

The night of the twenty-eighth day of July was a sleepless night for the people of the capital, and the officials who had witnessed the coup d'état in the Fengtiandian Square during the day were released from the Wuying Hall and told that they would go to court as usual tomorrow; The bodies of the high-ranking officials who died in the fire at the Fengtian Temple were removed from the rubble and their families were told to collect them, while other anxious officials, big and small, tried to go out to find out for information, but were driven back by soldiers patrolling the streets.

"It's a different day." The common people all said this, as for which one won, it was still unknown, that night all the teahouses, wine shops, brothels were ordered to close, and all public places were not allowed to gather crowds, and the common people who were blocked in their homes could only see through the cracks in the doors, and the brigades of soldiers wearing red scarves rode outside and roared outside.

These soldiers went to copy the mansions of Huang Jinrong and Yang Bo, since ancient times, copying the house is a rare fat difference, and the plot of Wei Xiaobao copying Aobai's house and becoming a rich man in the Lu Ding Ji left an indelible impression in Liu Ziguang's heart, so he strongly asked to be the ambassador of this copying, and Zhu Youxiao of course readily agreed.

The houses of Huang Jinrong and Yang Bo are not far away, they are all deep mansions that cover a wide area, and the door face is extremely luxurious, especially the Huang Mansion, which is a little more graceful than the Prince's Mansion, in addition to the area is not as good as the palace, those who can trespass are basically trespassing, after the incident, the family members and guards of the Huang Mansion robbed valuable things and tried to escape, and were captured on the spot by the officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division who patrolled the streets, and surrounded the two mansions first.

When Liu Ziguang arrived, the chickens and dogs in the Huang Mansion were jumping, and there was a panicked noise, but Yang Bo's house was calm, let's start with a simple one, Liu Ziguang looked at the relatively small Yang Mansion and decided to start here, after all, he had been here when the bugging device was installed, and he was familiar with it.

"You go and arrest all the people in Huang Jinrong's family, put seals on everything, and wait for me to go and check, you, follow me!" Liu Ziguang ordered the soldiers to divide into two routes, one way to seize the Huang Mansion, and the other to directly raid the Yang Mansion with him.

The vermilion lacquer gate of the Yang Mansion is decorated with eight rows of copper nails, which is the level of a prince, and at this moment the two gates are closed, and no sound can be heard inside.

"Break the door!" Liu Ziguang said.

As soon as the words fell, two doors opened from the inside, and a middle-aged woman in plain clothes stood alone at the door, looked at Liu Ziguang and said, "My lord is here to raid the house." ”
