On the 28th, the cold wind blew all night, and then it rested in the early morning, and after the early morning, the wind and the sun came out of the clear sky.

Out of Chongyang Gate, through the Tianshui Bridge to the west to the ten miles of the long pavilion, the gallop road is full of flags, the two brigades of the forbidden camp infantry army are one step out of the Chongyang Gate to three or five steps between the two sides of the road to set up a cordon, the forbidden camp cavalry also controls the high place near the left, and sets up more than ten observation posts.

Zhang Yubo, who was the Yin of Jiangning Mansion, did not rush to Chongwen Hall to support the emperor out of the city in the early morning, but came to Chongyang Gate, he wore a purple crane robe, stood on top of the Chongyang Gate City Tower, and watched the people watching the ceremony come out of the doorway.

More people occupied both sides of the long street from Chongyang City to the Imperial City early, waiting for soldiers and horses to enter the city, and countless people from the surrounding towns outside the city also flowed to Chongyang Chidao and the city.

Although it is less than two days before the New Year's Festival, the ordinary people still have an irrepressible enthusiasm for the Chongguo Gongjie class teacher and the suburbs of the Son of Heaven; It was only two days ago that the announcement was officially issued to set the matter of welcoming the Son of Heaven, and Jiangning City suddenly fell into an uncontrollable boiling. In the past two days, the city of Jiangning has been lit up with lights, as if the New Year has arrived in advance.

Zhang Yubo is familiar with the canonical system, "the suburbs of the Son of Heaven welcome", "give nine tin", "legislature system to place generals", to put it bluntly, it is to build momentum and pave the way for "Zen Rang", Lin Tie ascended the throne through "Zen Rang", so he does not need to bear the eternal notoriety of killing the lord and usurping the throne as a minister, and can also make the new dynasty obtain the natural legal status of inheriting the old dynasty.

Compared with the usurpation of the throne, the accession to the throne through "Chan Rang" will be limited to the bloody matter between the Lin and Yuan clans, and will not infinitely expand the old courtiers into the bloody storm for ruthless killing and purging - Zhang Yubo's heart is also full of contradictory emotions.

At this time, Zhao Shuhan, who was wearing civilian clothes, climbed the city tower, even if Zhao Shuhan took out the silver medal, he still checked it for the guards before letting Xu Dengcheng go - Zhang Yubo looked at Zhao Shuhan and said, "Isn't Brother Zhao sick at home, why did you rush over to join in the fun, aren't you afraid to call the people of the Privy Council to see it?" ”

"I can't sit still," Zhao Shuhan smiled bitterly and said, "Lin Jian wants to become emperor, I am the first to oppose him, what are you afraid of?" ”

"Now the letter of residence issued by the General Administration Department has openly discussed the difference between the court and the country, saying that the court is just a family with one surname, and if you die, you will change your surname; And the country is dead, benevolence and righteousness are abolished, and the beasts eat people, and people will eat each other, which is related to all the people in the world. The country is about to die, and it is not the sī matter of the clan and the monarch and the ministers, and the world is responsible for all the people, which is to put the difference between the Han and Yi above the succession of the emperor. Zhang Yubo said.

"There are already scholars in the city who are openly talking about the actions of the three emperors and five emperors in ancient times," Zhao Shuhan said, "At this time, the Son of Heaven will welcome him and give Jiuxi, and when he returns from the Northern Expedition to recover the Central Plains, Zen will be a matter of course, right?" ”

Zhang Yubo smiled helplessly and said: "Look at the soldiers and civilians in this city, and then look at the civil and military generals of the Manchu Dynasty who gathered outside the Chongwen Hall and waited to accompany Emperor Yongxing out of the suburbs to greet them, you will know that this situation can not be changed by three or five people!" ”

"I just hope there will be less blood," Zhao Shuhan sighed, shook his head again, "But since ancient times, it is rare for a change of dynasty to be without blood...... Uncle Yu, will you deal with yourself like this? ”

"Jiangning has also generally settled down, and I don't need to rely on the position of Jiangning Mansion Yin, I think with Lin Bin's heart, I will finally allow me to resign and return to the rivers and lakes," Zhang Yubo asked Zhao Shuhan again, "Brother Zhao can go with me, send the rest of his heart to the boat, and no longer care about the rights and wrongs?" ”

"I don't know where to go......" Zhao Shuhan looked at the clear sky of Chongyangmen, and he still remembered the intersection of the three of them when Lin Jian first entered Jiangning, who could have imagined that so many earth-shaking changes had occurred in the past ten years?

"I came out of the mansion, and the city was full of swords and soldiers," Zhao Shuhan said, "Huaidong is also afraid that someone from the imperial party will take risks!" ”

Zhang Yubo smiled bitterly: "The general trend of Huaidong has been achieved, so I think Lin Jian wants to let go of Daiyuan's ambitions, and the people of Huaidong will not agree." What is the use of the imperialist party taking risks? If things change, Lin Xuwen, Lin Mengde, Qin Chengzu, Cao Ziang and others will definitely take the opportunity to bloody purge the remnants of the imperial family and the ministers of the imperial party......"

Zhao Shuhan nodded and said, "I'm also worried that some people in the imperial party are irrational!" Whether you can succeed or not, it will be a big harm. ”

If there is really an assassination case today, if it doesn't work, it will only give Lin Jian an excellent excuse to purge the Jiangning Emperor Party figures; It is done, maybe Huaidong is likely to fall into division and chaos because of Lin Bin's sudden death, but before the division and chaos, they have the strength to bloodily purge the forces that threaten them, and the imperial party must be the first object of the bloody purge; In fact, Lin Xuwen, Lin Mengde and others are more likely to choose one of the sons of Lin Jian to be the young emperor and start a new dynasty.

Zhao Shuhan was even worried that Huaidong would direct and act in a scene of assassination to directly abolish the establishment of the people's hearts in the world, so he couldn't sit still in the mansion and came to watch.

"Lord Zhao is also here," Chen Enze, who was wearing armor, walked over and saw that Zhao Shuhan was also present, but he didn't know about his illness, looked at the sun, and said, "It's not too early at this hour, why hasn't there been any movement in the palace yet?" ”

Zhang Yubo is also nervous looking at the east of the palace, no matter what, he hopes that today's suburban welcome ceremony can be completed smoothly, and don't make any uncontrollable demon moths - the world can get today's peace, it is really not easy, Zhang Yubo doesn't want the world to be chaotic again, but think about it, the world can get this peace, it has nothing to do with the imperial family, and it is no wonder that the minds of the people in the world have changed......

Although the wind and the sun are beautiful, Jiangning before the New Year's Festival still drips into ice.

More than 100 officials in scarlet clothes waited outside the Chongwen Palace, making the weather freezing so cold that they shrank their heads and shrunk their heads, hid their hands in their sleeves, and looked anxiously and uneasily into the hall from time to time, the door of the Chongwen Hall was opened, but the outer hall except for a dozen ministers in silk clothes who were anxiously waiting with them, they could not see the figure of Emperor Yongxing.

The officials inside and outside the palace all looked at each other, thinking in their hearts: At this time, there is no one in sight, if the emperor has a temper and does not go out of the city to the suburbs to welcome the return of the prince to Beijing, how will this end?

Do you have to turn the suburban festival into a bloody massacre!

On the staircase, the armor of the guards of Miyagi stood like a sculpture in the cold wind, but the armor blade emitted a cold light under the light of the winter sun, piercing people's hearts - this made everyone's hearts tighten more and more.

At this time, a column of people came from outside the palace, led by Lin Xuwen, who was the deputy minister and the head of the household department, and Qin Chengzu, who was the deputy envoy of the privy council and the military adviser, and asked more than 100 soldiers to walk towards the Chongwen Palace.

Today, only the important ministers of the Huaidong family can call the guards to enter and exit the palace, Qin Chengzu is also wearing a brown armor, and the saber on his waist is simple and unpretentious, but it makes the current atmosphere more and more solemn, and it seems that the air has a bloody smell of killing.

The officials who thought they could talk to Lin Xuwen and Qin Chengzu greeted them and greeted them with a gossip, while the other officials stood on the periphery, squeezing out a smile on their faces from their restless emotions, for fear that the Huaidong people would forget that they had expressed their closeness to the Chongguo Mansion, for fear that if they were not careful today, they would be involved in the bloody city together......

"The emperor is dizzy in the morning, and he hasn't dressed yet." Cheng Yuqian, who was in the Chongwen Palace, watched Lin Xuwen and Qin Chengzu come over together, and with more than 100 additional murderous armor soldiers, his heart tightened, and he walked out of the hall to explain a little.

Lin Xuwen looked up at the sun, glanced at Qin Chengzu, and said, "Don't worry, there is still time." ”

Cheng Yuqian didn't understand for a while whether Lin Xuwen was saying that Emperor Yongxing still had time to wash himself and change his clothes, or whether they would have to wait for a while before they started.

Although the guards in the palace city were also controlled by the Privy Council, and the matter of killing the imperial family was obviously not allowed to be done by the forbidden soldiers of the palace, so as not to form a bad example for future generations to follow.

As long as the forbidden camp generals are ordered not to move, the more than 100 soldiers behind Qin Chengzu can kill the forbidden palace to the point of bleeding, leaving no one alive - and the important people of the Huaidong family, in addition to Lin Xuwen and Qin Chengzu coming to the palace, Lin Tingli first went to the ten-mile long pavilion west of Tianshui Bridge to wait, and Lin Mengde was still in the Privy Council, Sun Jingxuan, Hu Zhicheng, Qian Xiaowu and others were in the Chongguo Mansion, and the commander of the forbidden camp cavalry Zhou Pu also returned from quarrying one step earlier, and Chen Enze sat in Chongyangmen.

In the Wanshou Palace, there is also a solemn atmosphere, and there are nearly twice as many forbidden guards in the palace as usual, and they are all fresh faces that have never been seen before-Yuan Yan stood in front of the steps, looking at the guards with fresh faces on both sides, and her heart was also full of indescribable emotions, with indescribable depression, at this time, Miao Shuo rushed over from outside the hall, and listened to the footsteps in Liang's ear on the inside of the hall gate, and asked, "Is Miao Shuo back?" ”

"It's an old slave," Miao Shuo didn't care about the fact that the guards around him were actually Huaidong's eyes and ears, and when he opened the door and saw the queen mother, he asked someone to stand at the door, and said anxiously and uneasily, "The emperor is not willing to ...... clothes yet."

Yuan Jianhai, the king of Hailing, said hatefully: "I knew that he was a useless guy, but at this time he lost his temper. The suburban welcome has already been announced to the world, and at this time, the abolition of the ceremony is because Huaidong has not caught enough handles? ”

"What is going to be done now?" Shen Rong was also in a hurry, and he was helpless at this time.

If Emperor Yongxing didn't dare to go out to greet him, he would not be able to drag him out of the city.

"It's to be angry and die to save your heart!" Liang coughed violently and said intermittently, "Help the mourning family to go to Chongwen Palace!" Yuan Yan hurriedly walked in and helped the Queen Mother and went to Chongwen Palace.

Walking to the Chongwen Palace, I found that there was almost already the smell of blood before the killing, looking at the soldiers on both sides of the rhino platform in front of the hall who had changed into different armor from the forbidden camp soldiers, thinking that it was Huaidong who was transferred from another to prepare to attack the imperial family, Yuan Yan couldn't help but think: Will he let me die under such a blade?

The Liang family turned a blind eye to the warriors on both sides of the rhino platform, and also turned a blind eye to Cheng Yuqian, Lin Xuwen and other Liao and Liao ministers who came to greet him, and asked Yuan Yan to help him go straight to the inner hall of Chongwen Palace.

Just outside the screen of the inner hall, Yuan Yan heard the hysterical roar of Emperor Yongxing: "Jiuxi has also been given, and the right to open the mansion has also been rewarded, and today I will go out of the suburbs to welcome him, what reward does he want in the future, and what reward will I give him?" What other reward can I give him than to give the world away! You all say that you are my loyal minister, and today you forced me to go out of the city to the suburbs to meet a rebel minister who wanted to usurp the throne, did you force me to give up the world to him......

At this time, there was a sympathetic response from the inner hall: "The emperor thinks so, it's okay!" ”

Yuan Yan's heart jumped, this is going to force Gong Chan to give way!

"Presumptuous!" Liang shouted angrily, pushed the screen down, and threw Liu Zhi, who said the words "It's okay" on his crutches.

Liu Zhi hit the head with a crutch and broke the blood flow, seeing that it was the Empress Dowager Liang's crutches and still calling, he covered his forehead and raised his head to block it, but he was afraid of Liang's residual power and did not dare to fight back - fortunately, the Empress Dowager Liang was sick and dying, and she used all her strength to crutch, bending over like a boiled shrimp and coughing desperately, and the snow was full of black blood.

Lin Xuwen, who was standing behind, gave Liu Zhi a look and asked him to go down to bandage his wounds first.

The Liang family straightened out their anger for a while, and regardless of the presence of Lin Xuwen and Qin Chengzu, they questioned Emperor Yongxing, who was like a wild dog about to be killed: "The gift of the suburbs has been told to the world, and the emperor is making this trouble now, how can he give an explanation to the people of the world?" ”

"The Son of Heaven exports into a system, and the line becomes a courtesy; I am unwell, and it is a courtesy not to greet me; It is to call which jiān minister rebel son to risk the great Yi of the world to kill, and also let him bear the eternal name of killing the lord and usurping the throne! Emperor Yongxing roared excitedly, and put on a posture of a fish dying and breaking the net: even if he died, he would also make Lin Jian bear the notoriety of killing the lord and usurping the throne, and he would no longer be willing to be at the mercy of Huaidong and be forced to "concede" the throne.

"If the Son of Heaven abolishes the rites and insults the ministers of the society, if there are one or two strong men who do not abolish the courtesy and abolish the ministers and insult them with the blood of the blade, and the Duke of Chongguo sets up another young emperor, how will the emperor treat him?" Liang Hou asked. She has been immersed in growing up and aging all her life, knowing that Lin Jian doesn't want to bear the notoriety of killing the lord and usurping the throne, some are means, some are methods, and the Yuanjian martial artist in front of her has the name of the Son of Heaven, but he doesn't have the wrist to control the world, how sad?

The last hole card in the hand of Emperor Yongxing was ruthlessly exposed to the Liang family, and Zhang Yan, who had been kneeling on the ground all the time, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, don't abolish the ceremony...... Jiangning City has been completely controlled by the Huaidong Army, if the emperor abolishes the ceremony and humiliates Lin Bin, it will be the end of five steps of blood splashing, and there is no second possibility - as for how Lin Tie will clean up the aftermath, and even set off a bloody storm in Jiangning, it is also a matter of Huaidong,!。
