Chapter 81: The Change of the Martial Arts Arena
The two teams in the field were still competing with arrows, and when they woke up, the stunned prince was brought to the emperor.
"You royal scum!" The emperor was so angry that he couldn't speak: "Pull back and ground yourself in the East Palace, don't be embarrassed here!" ”
Concubine Ji is even more angry! Obviously, the plan was to "mistakenly kill" the prince in the martial arts arena, but he actually escaped from the battle and ran to have something to do with a man, which is really inexplicable! Now it's just a groundbreak, then their scheming will be in vain!
She gritted her teeth and said in a cold voice: "Your Majesty! If the people of the world know that the prince of a country is actually as good as Longyang, I am afraid that no one in the world can tolerate it! You can forbid the prince's feet, but you can't forbid the mouths of the world. For the sake of the great cause of the Celestial Empire, you must make a decision early, Your Majesty! ”
"Guo Kuan! Spread my will: The prince misbehaved, insulted the national character, abolished the prince's title, and banned the imperial tomb to atone for his sins! In a fit of rage, the emperor was instigated by the concubine, and without hesitation, he directly issued an order. By the time the minister next to him reacted, it was too late to intercede for the prince.
Concubine Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief: although she couldn't kill the prince, it was the same if she abolished him. Prince Toku and Prince Kei will proclaim the crown prince as the crown prince, and their plans can be continued.
The prince looked helpless and muttered to himself, "Okay, good! I'm going to guard the mausoleum for you, and I can be regarded as repaying you a promise......" He turned around and slowly dragged his steps out without hesitation.
Everyone looked at this scene with their own hearts, but they didn't see a tall guard behind Prince Qing, who was quickly moving towards the emperor's position, and as soon as he moved, Xie Ruijiao, who had been staring at him not far away, was also moving:
"Father, be careful!"
said that it was too late, it was fast, the man was already approaching the emperor, the short sword in his hand stabbed towards the emperor, Xie Ruijiao kicked his elbow, Cheng Haitang, who was standing behind the emperor, pulled the emperor at the same time, and he stepped forward to block the emperor: "The emperor go quickly!" Guo Kuan immediately made a decision and pulled the emperor to run under the viewing platform.
Suddenly, the crowd on and off the stage was in chaos.
The man saw Begonia and smiled: "Sure enough, it's you!" He didn't entangle with Xie Ruijiao, he just took out a bone flute to blow, only to see dozens of soldiers rushing over on the road, outflanking the emperor.
"They are Tatars!" Begonia shouted.
Xie Ruijiao also picked up the tooth whistle hanging on his chest and blew it, and the guards hidden around him rushed out.
Only then did King Xian and Concubine Ji realize that these were not the steps originally arranged, and they immediately panicked and followed the emperor to retreat to the martial arts arena.
The corridor under the spectator stage is very narrow, and with the retreating crowd, the guards have to take care of the crowd and make way for them, so they can't rush in at all. Those Tatars cut down when they saw people, and they were invincible without scruples.
The crowd was rushed into two parts, one part ran out, blocking the guards, and only a small part hugged the emperor and retreated into the field.
Xie Ruizhu saw that Ling Xue had already gone after the Tatar led by him, and he ran towards the emperor. Haitang had already caught up with the emperor, and she called: "Your Majesty, quickly retreat to the Flying Dragon Array, there is an open space over there, and there is an army!" ”
The emperor also suddenly remembered, and hurriedly pulled Concubine Ji Guifei to retreat into the formation field. Soon they saw Cheng Hanbai and two hundred soldiers preparing to fight.
The emperor was overjoyed, and Guo Kuan hurriedly shouted: "General Cheng escort, escort quickly!" ”
Cheng Hanbai had already turned his firearms to face behind the emperor, waiting for them to enter the firing range. He said to the emperor, who had already run over: "Hurry up and eat the antidote that has been given to you!" ”
Guo Kuan touched it in his arms, and his head was confused: "Huh? The antidote is lost! ”
Cheng Haitang came over and said, "I have it!" As she spoke, she stuffed a small bottle of antidote into Guo Kuan's hand, and Guo Kuan hurriedly distributed it to the emperor and others.
Cheng Hanbai laughed twice: "Tartar shaft!" Your grandfather's Flying Sky Thunder is not vegetarian either! "I heard a loud bang, and a bird-shaped cannon flew towards the Tatars, and after flying dozens of paces, the bird-shaped cannon fired, and the sky was covered with red powder. In today's martial arts exercise, what is prepared is only medicine, not poison. Still, that's enough.
Cheng Hanbai rushed forward with the soldiers, but the Tatar soldiers were already dizzy in the drug, and they were unstable on their feet, so they could only be captured.
Xie Ruijiao had already cut down the two Tatar soldiers behind him, and strode over to the emperor: "Father, I received a letter from the flying pigeon of Datong Pass, the Datong Pass guard will rebel, and the switch will let 100,000 Tatar soldiers enter the pass and approach the capital!" ”
"What? Datong Pass lost? ......" The emperor couldn't believe it for a while. The king next to him reacted, did he return to the original steps? Shouldn't Prince Qing do the next step? But what about others?
King Xian and Concubine Ji didn't know that when the crowd was chaotic, Prince Qing and Prince De were separated by Yu Lang and Dian Qing with the guards, and with the flow of people, they were sent out of the martial arts arena!
Xie Ruijiao clenched his fists and said: "Thanks to my father Wang Yingming, after his son returned to Beijing from the border pass, he issued the 'Nine Towns Offensive and Defensive Alliance'. Now that the early warning has been initiated, according to the alliance plan, the Xuanfu Pass and Taiyuan Pass on the left and right sides should have sent troops to the rear base camp of the Tatar army. ”
Only then did the emperor nod: "Nine Towns Offensive and Defensive Alliance...... Yeah! I signed it, I signed it! After speaking, he sat on an artillery seat, looked at Ji Guifei blankly, and muttered: "Ji Guifei, it was issued by me......
Xie Ruizhu looked at such a father and suddenly felt a little heartache.
Ling Xue walked over from outside, saluted Duanwang, handed him a note, and said, "Datong Pass is under control!" ”
Xie Ruijiao nodded and looked at him again. Ling Xue also nodded.
Xie Ruijiao put his mind at ease and said to the emperor: "Father, after receiving the flying pigeon message, Datong Pass has been re-controlled, and the three guards Liu Xilie, father and son, have been beheaded by their subordinates!" Datong Pass resisted hard and finally recaptured the town of Guan, with less than 20,000 Tatar soldiers entering the pass. After speaking, he knelt down on one knee and asked the emperor:
"Erchen asked his father to send a Beijing army to let Erchen meet the Tatar army that entered the pass!"
