Chapter 6: Wounded Parting (5)
Anyway, Cao Jixiang felt like he had been released, regardless of it, he didn't care about it, he didn't want to be embarrassed, Ding Yi felt that it was very ugly, and the scene was very embarrassing, so he had to say to Wen Fatzi: "While you haven't withdrawn from the imperial city yet, you can find a lieutenant to report to the emperor, saying that I have something to face the saint." ”
Who knew that Cao Jixiang took the initiative to say on the side: "The slave maid has a waist card for entering and exiting the palace, why don't the slave and maid go and ask for an errand with grandpa by themselves?" The slave maid only wants to follow the young nephew, but she doesn't want to teach the young nephew to be embarrassed. "It's a loyal servant's style, and no one can find fault with it. So Ding Yi couldn't, so he had to send the fat man with a wry smile to follow Cao Jixiang and teach the fat man to report the ins and outs to Yingzong. Because it is not only Cao Jixiang who is involved, but also other lieutenants, such as those who have joined the stormtroopers of the Heaven and Earth Society and the Zhongyi Society, who have revealed their identities, they will definitely not be able to stay in the palace.
Then Ding Yi went to Qingning Palace, this season is not yet noon, the passages around the Qingning Palace, surrounded by hundreds of inner servants holding spears in their hands, Xiao Qiang led those sword and shield inner servants who were blown up to the soul by one or two grenades of Ding, and guarded at the gate of the palace, and there were seven or eight mountain special brigades on the roof who lurked into the palace, guarding with bows and arrows, and there were several corpses outside the Qingning Palace that were killed by arrows, all of them were wearing inner clothes, obviously trying to highlight the encirclement, and were shot dead by the soldiers of the mountain special brigade on the roof.
When Ding Yi arrived, the remaining sword and shield attendants were almost unable to guard the palace gate, and Xiao Qiang had some ways to deal with it, moving all the tables and chairs in Qingning Palace to the palace gate. Blocked behind the gate. The original heavy door panel was difficult to open without hitting the wood. But the group of guards in the imperial horse prison with spears in their hands, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, not only kept stabbing the spears into the window, but also smashed the main entrance and side doors of Qingning Palace with something.
Seeing Ding Yi coming, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch came over to salute, and Ding Yi asked. Only then did they know that they actually lifted the copper turtle with a heavy base and smashed the gate as a log, and they didn't know how to drag it up. Ask him why he didn't hit it again? He replied, "The momentum is too great, and the little ones don't have the strength to lift it." The words were sincere, and when Dante listened to it, he really couldn't help laughing until his stomach hurt.
This class is really crazy, not human. Before Ding Yi could finish sighing. I heard the eunuch say again: "Sir, the slave maid was originally lit by fire, but the masters on the top of the floor didn't let it!" Otherwise, they will be captured before dawn! Ding Yi really took a step back on the spot when he heard this, he was frightened, fire attack, this is Qingning Palace, this guy wants to set Qingning Palace on fire? Even Ding Yi was not so bold, fortunately he left eight hidden mountain special brigade sergeants here. Or really set fire to Qingning Palace, not to mention how the history of the Queen Mother was burned like a knife. Just because she is Ding Yi's stepmother and Yingzong's biological mother, she was burned to death so hard, maybe someone else could do it, anyway, Ding Yi's temperament can't do it.
"The palace is not only royal, but also Chinese, so it's better not to damage it or not." Ding Yiqiang smiled and comforted the eunuch Cao, and said to him, "Don't call yourself a slave or maid in the future, if you are willing to go south with me, whether you are allowed to serve in the army or in the local government, you will be an upright man, do you understand?" This was said once when he entered the palace at night, but this person didn't know if it was because he was too servile in his heart or what was going on, but he couldn't remember it, so Ding Yi had to repeat it again.
The eunuch Cao listened, knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Yes, the slave and maid keep it in mind, and never dare to forget it." As soon as the words came out, he remembered that something was wrong, but he pleaded with Ding Yi with a wry smile, "The slave and maid are in front of them, so naturally they will not lose the dignity of the husband, but they will also ask the gentleman to be gracious and allow the slave and maid to have the honor of waiting." ”
Ding Yi couldn't help but be speechless when he heard it, this is asking for a slave, it is an honor to be a slave, at least the eunuch Cao in front of him thinks so, but at this time, Ding Yi didn't have the heart to talk to him about this, this side is still attacking Qingning Palace, it is really impossible to talk to him here about things like the equality of all people, so he can only nod and say: "Let it be." ”
Seeing Ding Yi approaching, the soldiers of the mountain special brigade on the roof jumped down, Ding Yi didn't care, but they cared, Wen Fat Man repeatedly told him, what if one of these chamberlains holding the spear went crazy or was originally a diehard loyalist of the Queen Mother, what if Ding Yi came over and shot him in the back?
So they separated from those chamberlains and shouted: "Tianzi No. 1 rudder, according to the charge queue!" "This is to teach those chamberlains to stop, according to the formation of the stormtroopers, it is not possible to stand up in a neat queue, but at least pull out and pull apart, so as to prevent someone from making a black hand when Ding Yi comes.
Ding Yi, accompanied by the eunuch Cao, walked up the stairs, but he felt that this person surnamed Cao was simply a saboteur. At this time, the steps and roads under the palace, and the railings on both sides are exquisitely carved, but the night passed, and there was no hot fire weapon here, and the railings collapsed in many places, and it could be seen that they were cracked, and the eunuch Cao next to him whispered: "When the little ones dragged the copper turtle over, the base was too heavy, and there were a few times when they couldn't bear it, and it collapsed......
It's hard to talk about him at this time, or Ding Yi really wants to ask him: There are trees on the side, won't you find an axe to cut one down? Isn't that more efficient than smashing with a heavy copper turtle? Let's do sabotage, let's sabotage, the problem is that if we do sabotage, we still haven't captured it.
The seven or eight sergeants of the mountain special brigade came over, but they didn't salute Ding Yixing according to the battlefield discipline, but just called: "Sir." "They were scattered around Ding Yi, guarding against possible attacks. Ding Yi was very satisfied with their combat elements.
"This night, the morale of the comrades is high, and you still did a good job." Ding Yi said to the eunuch Cao.
The latter listened, but said: "It is all by the power of Mr. Shenwei, the slave and maid have sent people to visit ......" and then someone reported that as soon as Ding arrived at the Qianqing Palace, he had subdued all the guards in front of the emperor; After a while, someone came to report that Yingzong had arrived at the Fengtian Temple, had sat on the dragon chair, and was being worshiped by hundreds of officials. So the chamberlain on the side of Qingning Palace listened, "...... All of them summon the strength to eat milk to repay Mr., even if they crush their bodies, they will not regret it! ”
Ding Yi smiled a little far-fetched, because this night, the strategic purpose was achieved, but there were really many painting styles, which were completely different from what he expected. For example, the small leader of Emperor Jing's last escort unit; Among the palace maids that Emperor Jing's son Zhu Jianji was close to, there were several hidden people buried by Ding Yi, and they were not used at all.
And this inner servant of the Imperial Horse Prison thought that he had been developed into the Heaven and Earth Society and the Loyalty Society, how could these people also have a little enlightenment, right? This society has forced them to either be sent to the palace to be castrated since childhood, or they have no way to live and cut themselves, it is said that they should be very angry with this social system, so they will join the Heaven and Earth Society and the Loyalty Society, and come to do this thing of killing the head and exterminating the clan once the thing is defeated!
No, looking at this eunuch Cao, he completely feels like a change of master; Approaching the attendant who was in line according to the charge, Ding Yigang said, "Everyone has worked hard. Then he saw a group of people kneeling down and saying, "Slaves and maids are willing to die for their husband!" "Follow Mr., never regret dying!" ”
But at this moment, Ding Yi was bitter again and again, and he could only force a smile and pull it up one by one, patting his shoulder and approving, after all, this night, these people all sacrificed their lives to do things, no matter how high or low their consciousness is, just by virtue of this, Ding Yi can't blame him at this time.
Walking in front of the gate of Qingning Palace, Ding Yi straightened the Confucian shirt on his body, and said loudly: "Xiao Qiang, do you want to prevent me from seeing my stepmother?" ”
In Qingning Palace, the eunuch Xiao Qiang was reluctant to open the door, because there were only a dozen or so sword and shield soldiers left in Qingning Palace. He even said to the Empress Dowager Sun: "Niangniang, those thieves at the back door are still committing murder, they are now lined up at the front door, and they are not blocked, why don't you move the tables and chairs, and the slaves and maids will escort you and rush out!" ”
"Open the door, hurry up and welcome Rujin inside." Empress Dowager Sun smiled coldly, but said to Xiao Qiang, "If Jin comes, do the mourning family still need to care about those monkeys?" ”
Xiao Qiang listened to a wry smile, I don't know if this Empress Dowager Sun was frightened and confused? Or is it still about forty years old even if it is well maintained, but after all, it is a person in his early fifties, and his head is not bright? Aren't these monkeys in her mouth just ordered by someone Ding? He said helplessly: "Niangniang, those thieves are Ding Rebellion's ......."
"Palm." Empress Dowager Sun shook her head and said to Xiao Qiang with a smile, "Are you a slave who is impatient?" The righteous son of the mourning family, you dare to say it? Look at your loyalty to the king this night, and punish you with ten strokes of your palm, and don't take it as an example. ”
Xiao Qiang had no choice but to slap himself ten times, "pop papa" that he didn't dare to hold back, and his cheeks turned red. But I heard the Empress Dowager Sun speak again: "Okay, open the door, teach Rujin to come in and escort it." ”
At this time, Xiao Qiang had no other choice but to call the dozen or so sword and shield attendants who could still move, move the tables and chairs away, and with great difficulty, he opened the huge door latch, opened the main door and side door that were knocked out of the cracks, and said to Ding Yi outside the palace: "Niangniang has a will, Xuan Rujin Young Master enters to escort!" ”
Not only did Xiao Qiang himself feel that it was not a taste, but even the attendants outside the palace who were clinging to spears were also a little confused. What is Xuanding's escort when he enters the house? After fighting all night, now these people have become traitors, and Ding Rongcheng is a loyal minister? What is this called? Fortunately, the eunuch Cao knew the opportunity, and hurriedly shouted to those attendants: "Cheer up!" Who has the gentleman served? ”
This has to say that Ding's credit during the Ming Jingtai period is still very effective, and he stubbornly relied on brushing his face to suppress the doubts in the hearts of these chambers holding spears. In Qingning Palace, Empress Dowager Sun was calm and calm in the upper seat, and in the face of the chaotic army, she did not stand up, not only because this was not her strength, but also because it was not necessary, she did not believe that these chaotic servants could hurt her in the slightest. But in the face of Ding Yi, she has absolute confidence and grasps it in the palm of her hand! (To be continued......)
