The people of the capital were still immersed in the joy of Wang Xian's army turning defeat into victory and sweeping the grassland. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Over the past month, they have held various celebrations, but they still can't completely calm down the excitement, and many old gentry have written to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court will agree to establish a shrine for Wang Xian, and change the name of his hometown Fuyang to 'Xianyang'. Some people even proposed that the old system should be broken and Wang Xian should be crowned as the king of the county in recognition of his immortal achievements.

But when these proposals were reported, they were like mud cows entering the sea, and the imperial court did not express any position. Not even the normal commendations and awards......

In addition to the initial good news, in the daily official document of the Di Bao, there is almost no mention of Wang Xian's victory, which is very secretive. Only the unusually frequent transfer of civil and military officials occupies almost all the pages. This made the gentry with a sensitive sense of smell quickly realize that the imperial court did not welcome Wang Xian's triumph, and even felt caught off guard and even nervous......

Thinking of the recent days, more frequent than the war period, fast horses galloping back and forth, and more strict army patrols, in the street tavern, a man wearing a dark flower straight jacket shook his head and sighed: "In all dynasties, how can there be such a welcome to the triumphant soldiers?" ”

"Hey, my brother's caravan, the day before yesterday was going to Zhangjiakou Mutual Market," at the wine table, a middle-aged man dressed as a merchant said in a low voice: "As a result, as soon as I arrived at Juyong Pass, I was driven back by the army, saying that during martial law, no one was allowed to pass." ”

"Isn't it," a few people next to him also nodded and said, "I heard that a lot of troops have been transferred from the capital to Juyongguan, plus the original army, there are not more than 100,000 soldiers and horses over there?" ”

"Scared!" Everyone was taken aback: "100,000 troops gathered at Juyong Pass, who is this to guard against?!" ”

"Who else?!" The outsider who spoke first said indignantly: "Zhenguo Gongbei! ”

"Hey, I really don't know what the court thinks, I have to do things so urgently, so desperately." The merchant also sighed, "Even if you want to bully the little widow, you have to wait for her man to completely swallow his breath!" Saying that, he couldn't help but sneer and said, "It's okay now, I don't know how to end it, right?" ”

"I don't understand, why can't the imperial court tolerate a town and a country?!" A red-faced man gritted his teeth and said: "Zhenguo Gong is brave and loyal, and his achievements are high in the world, and he is the patron saint of my Ming Dynasty, but those people have to go to a dead end, and they will have a good life?!" ”

"Be quiet......," a timid guest hurriedly and nervously persuaded the red-faced man: "Beware of the spies from the East Factory!" ”

"Yes, Dongchang has been crazy recently, arresting people everywhere......" others also said with a look of fear.

"What are you afraid of! Don't you let people talk yet?! As soon as they said this, the red-faced man became more and more excited, and shouted loudly: "Lao Tzu is still going to say that it is the prince, Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Hu Hao who are pushing our Ming Dynasty into the fire pit!" ”

"Hey......" Although the people next to him were not as bold as him, they also nodded and sighed one by one.

"Humph!" Suddenly, a mysterious voice sounded at the adjacent table: "We don't know who pushed Da Ming into the fire pit, but we know that you are ......pushing your guys into the fire pit" As he spoke, the owner of the voice threw the tea bowl in his hand to the ground and said sharply: "Take people!" ”

In the frightened eyes of the red-faced man and the others, they saw that seven or eight big men at the adjacent table showed their blades and chains one after another and pounced on them.

"Dongchang is doing things, and idle people are avoided!"

The tavern was in a mess, and the guests at the table who had just made a comment were all handcuffed by the people of the East Factory.

"The head of the stall, none of them ran." A fan said to the beardless middle-aged man.

"Bad luck, it's not easy to come out for a meal." The middle-aged man was originally the eunuch next to Zhao Ying, and he could also rank number one in the East Factory. Later, the East Factory was closed, and their group of eunuchs were also kicked out of the palace, and they were ridiculed and bullied, and they were the most miserable. Therefore, after Hu Hao recalled these eunuchs back to Dongchang, these guys were the most desperate and cruel.

Glancing at the trembling shopkeeper, the eunuch said coldly: "Take him away too, this shop will be closed." ”

"Your Excellency spares your life, your Excellency raises your noble hand!" The shopkeeper knelt down and pleaded with tears in his eyes: "As soon as these drinkers come back to my store!" ”

"If we didn't happen to be in the store, you wouldn't have reported it, right?" The eunuch walked over, raised his foot, and stepped on the shopkeeper's head with leather boots embedded in iron nails, "Don't lie, you will definitely not report it, this is if you don't report it, who will you arrest if you don't report it?" ”

"Okay!" The subordinates also handheld the shopkeeper who was paralyzed on the ground.

When the eunuch walked out of the shop with his men, escorting the hapless shopkeeper and a dry drinker, several fast horses suddenly galloped through the street and almost crashed into the eunuch!

The people of Dongchang are used to running rampant in Beijing, and they scolded loudly: "Who dares to rush into my stall, say you, stop quickly!" As he was shouting, he saw clearly the red flag on the back of the knights, and these guys suddenly lost their arrogance, and said, "Forget it, let's go......"

It was an eight-hundred-mile expedited fast horse, and those who stood in the way were punished for rebellion, even Hu Hao, the governor of Dongchang Factory, was here, and he didn't dare to block their way.

"Hey, what's the matter...... the people on the street just wanted to discuss, but when they saw the people of Dongchang staring at them, they quickly shut their mouths, and looked at the fast horses worriedly, disappearing on the road leading to the palace.

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Gaochi was discussing with the crown prince, two scholars and six scholars about the top priority in the court today - how to deal with the prince of Zhenguo!

"Master Yang should have already announced his decree to the Zhenguo Gong, right?" At this time, the emperor was worried, the dragon body was very weak, but he could only support the sick body to preside over the overall situation: "I don't know if he will be obedient and stay in the Great King City." ”

"Father, don't worry, he has to stay if he doesn't stay!" Zhu Zhanji said confidently: "Dawangcheng has an army of 50,000 Zheng Heng and Qian Huan, and Wang Xian wants to resist the decree, so he has to ask them if they agree!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, Qian Yu has a secret decree in his hands, and he should leave Wang Xian in Dawang City at all costs." Yang Shiqi also said in a loud voice, in the past month, Lord Shoufu has obviously aged more than ten years, his back is rickety, and his expression is gloomy.

"They must not mess around...... Zhu Gaochi still said with a solemn expression: "At this time, it is better not to provoke him." ”

Zhu Zhanji and Yang Shiqi glanced at each other, and only the two of them knew that the holy decree given to Qian Yu was added. Although the general meaning has not changed, there are a few more hints that make them act at the right time. With Qian Yu's unconditional obedience to Yang Shiqi, I'm afraid something will definitely happen.

"Don't be afraid even if you mess around!" Zhu Zhanji seemed to be refuting the emperor, but he was even more comforting himself: "The Zhangjiakou defense line has been established, the Xuanfu is impregnable, and the Juyong Pass is not open, what can Wang Xian do?" Can he still put on wings and fly over? Haha......"

After speaking, Zhu Zhanji laughed, Yang Shiqi and the others had to laugh a few times, and even Zhu Gaochi's expression eased a little, and said in his heart that this line of defense and more than 200,000 troops were on guard, Wang Xian could only be discouraged.

Before the laughter stopped, the left attendant of the military department on duty hurried in from outside the hall without waiting for the ceremony.

When the monarchs and ministers saw the panic on his face, and the thin military newspaper he was holding in his trembling hands, the laughter stopped abruptly, and the familiar sense of foreboding surged into everyone's hearts......

"Your Majesty, it's not good! Wang Xian's army broke through Zhangjiakou," the soldier knelt in front of the emperor in mourning, and shouted: "It's already on the verge of being close to Juyong!" ”

"You fart!" Zhu Zhanji had a feeling of being a dog, and resolutely disbelieved: "What about Zheng Heng and Qian Yu's 50,000 army? What about Zhu Yong's 100,000 army? They watched Wang Xian kill Juyong Pass! ”

"Your Highness, this is true...... "The squire of the military department raised the military report with both hands, and said in a trembling voice: "This is a military report written by Wang Tong, the chief soldier of Juyong Pass and the Marquis of Chengshan, he said that Wang Xian's army of more than 100,000 is already outside the pass!" ”

"Sure enough, nonsense, how many soldiers and horses does Wang Xian have in total, how can there be more than 100,000 troops?" Zhu Zhanji had no reason at this time, and said frantically: "Could it be that he will scatter beans and become a soldier!" ”

"It is clearly written in the military newspaper, and His Highness will know it at ......a glance," the military squire said helplessly.

"I don't watch!" Zhu Zhanji said categorically.

The squire had no choice but to turn to Lord Shoufu, but Yang Shiqi had a calm face and didn't even answer.

Seeing that Lord Shoufu didn't have the courage to read the military report, Yang Rong had no choice but to sigh and signal the squire to report the military report to himself.

When Yang Rong browsed the military newspaper, the needles in the hall could be heard, and from Emperor Hongxi onwards, everyone looked shocked, frightened, and depressed!

After reading it, Yang Rong raised his head slowly, and said in an extremely heavy tone: "What Chengshan Marquis can confirm is that the 40,000 troops under the command of Chengguo Gong surrendered to Wang Xian. Moreover, the Marquis of Chengshan also suspected that the 50,000 troops of Dawangcheng had also surrendered to Wang Xian, but there was no report from him, and he could not be sure. ”

"How so?!" Everyone gasped, and Emperor Hongxi's eyes were even darker, and he fainted directly.

"Your Majesty! Emperor! The ministers hurriedly stepped forward to support the emperor and hurriedly sent the imperial doctor to rescue him.

Looking at the emperor who had fainted and the ministers who were in a mess, Yang Rong felt that his hands and feet were cold for a while, could it be that I really did something wrong this time? I just don't know what price to pay to get it back?

Could it be, no matter what the cost, it will be irretrievable?

The imperial doctor was on standby outside the hall, and immediately rushed in, and after some acupuncture, Emperor Hongxi woke up. The first thing he said when he woke up was: "Zhongde, how can you be so ruthless?!" As he spoke, tears rolled down the emperor's eyes, as if he was extremely sad. (To be continued.) )
