Ye Yuanpei saw Fan Qiming first, and did not explain the intention, just to look at people.

Fortunately, the new Auxiliary Minister seems to be upright and straightforward.

Of course, he also knows Ye Yuanpei, although he is not a general now, but out of respect for the soldiers, he still calls him General Ye.

The two talked happily with each other, but when it came to internal affairs in the imperial court, Fan Qiming was more careful.

Ye Yuanpei is just a former general, he is not in the court now, and it just so happens that the emperor is not in the capital, some things were not classified before, but now even if they are forgotten, no one knows what is growing in their belly, so his words are only said in two, and most of them are vague.

This made people feel more reliable, Ye Yuanpei didn't say anything more, and said goodbye and went back.

But the cloth in the capital, he didn't relax for a moment.

Those who inquire outside for news will send one or even two letters to the capital a day.

King Rongchang has already raised his army on the road.

It was only a few days' journey from his fiefdom, and it would have been even faster if he had traveled day and night.

And in the capital, no one in the big or small officials felt the danger, and they even looked forward to Ling Tiancheng's return, looking forward to the whole country celebrating and defeating the Northern Barbarians.

Ye Yuanpei wanted to open his eyes even when he slept at night, and there were only a few people in his hands, and he couldn't turn around at all.

As soon as he released the new news that day, the housekeeper came to report that someone was looking for him outside.

He has lived here for a few days, and the people who belong to him are all known to the housekeepers, and they will be let in without being reported, and if Zhuang Siyan and them come, it will be even more unnecessary, this was originally her house.

Now that the butler said so, it was likely that the person who came was at least a stranger to him.

If it is usual, you will see it, Ye Yuanpei has no official position, and he is an idle person, and it is the same for everyone he sees.

But now it's different, now there are too many things around him, there are too many people around, and some of the officials in the capital already know that he is here.

He had to be very careful with the nameless visitors.

Generally, when officials visit, they will hand over a name sticker, or report their name, but this one is not, and it is still a girl.

Ye Yuanpei sat there with his eyebrows twisted and thought about half a cup of tea before he said to the housekeeper: "I know, you go down, I will go to the door to see her in person." ”

When he went out, he took a cloak in his hand, and if he didn't want to see someone, he would say that he was just going out, and she couldn't enter the house even half a step.

If you want to see it, then the cloak is nothing.

As a result, when he arrived at the door, when he looked at the person, Ye Yuanpei couldn't say what expression he should have on his face.

This person turned out to be Li Hua.

The girl who was rescued from the gambling house was later locked up in the general's mansion by him for a long time, and then taken to Luohe City by Zhuang Siyan, but Ye Yuanpei never saw her again.

She didn't even know who it was, but when Li Hua saw him from afar, tears burst out.

She probably also thought that this big hero who she admired since she was a child, but who had never actually met a few times, would not remember her, so she was anxious to retell her life experience.

Then he looked at Ye Yuanpei with blank eyes, and asked cautiously and softly: "General Ye can remember." ”

Ye Yuanpei let out a long "oh" sound for a long time, and asked her, "What are you looking for me?" ”

Li Hua: "I just found out that General Ye was coming to the capital, so I hurried here, just to stay by your side." ”

Ye Yuanpei: "......"

He is so handsome, so many people want to stay by his side, why would he accept such one?

But Li Hua was interesting, and immediately said: "I know martial arts, I am also literate, and I have seen many people in the capital, and I will not recruit right and wrong for you when I follow the general, I just want to serve you and do a little favor." ”

Ye Yuanpei thought: "It's really time to come, he is really short of people and wants to use a paper person." ”

But paper people are safer than real people, this plum flower, he doesn't believe it.

If you don't believe it, there is no way, Li Hua went south and north, and finally found him, and she didn't let go at all.

Ye Yuanpei also found a very terrible person, this girl said that she knew martial arts was just a modest statement, her martial arts were good and Ye Yuanpei was envious, and she didn't know how to hide people's eyes before.

Ye Yuanpei tried to get rid of her several times, but he didn't succeed.

If you ignore her and go into the house to rest by herself, she will wait outside the door, whether it is a light snow outside, or a light snow, or a cold wind blowing overnight, she is like a stone carving.

It didn't take long for Ye Yuanpei to surrender.

Another reason for his surrender was that King Rongchang had already arrived outside the capital.

The Praetorian Guards have already gotten the news, but they will not report the news to Ye Yuanpei, they will only report it through the military department step by step.

The officials in the capital first learned that King Rongchang had returned to the dynasty, and they didn't know what was going on, but these people weren't all fools, and it didn't take them long to figure it out.

The emperor is not in Beijing, and King Rongchang led his troops back to the court, is this not a rebellion?

These latecomers are only starting to panic now, but King Rongchang has already entered Beijing.

The Praetorian Guard was still very powerful and let King Rongchang in, but the tens of thousands of horses he brought were stopped outside the city.

Without an imperial order, no soldier will be allowed to enter Beijing.

But in fact, King Rongchang's people had already entered the city in batches a few days earlier, and as soon as he came in, he gathered those people together and went straight to the palace.

Ye Yuanpei wanted to hide it from Zhuang Siyan again, but he couldn't hide it at this time.

He called Qing Ran out and said quickly: "There is one thing, I said you remember, but don't tell her, the emperor is probably not very well, and now I can't be sure if he is dead, but it must be seriously injured, and it is very serious." ”

Just this sentence has made Qingran thunder crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

He was stunned for a long time before he reacted from those words: "How do you know? ”

"You don't care how I know, just remember my words, don't let her know about this, just treat the emperor as if he is fine, and he is on his way back to Beijing."

"Don't do it, King Rongchang has rebelled, you should have received the news, she has a talisman in her hand, she can mobilize the Praetorian Guards and the Ouchi guards, you ask her what she wants to do? If you have someone in your hand, use it as soon as possible, and if there is no one, give it to me. ”

"Wait a while, there is one more thing, King Rongchang's people have mixed into the capital a lot, I suspect that there will be in the palace, you close people must be careful, don't protect her."

Qing Ran nodded heavily, turned around and left.

Ye Yuanpei also turned to leave, and Li Hua followed him obediently like a small tail.

opened his mouth a few times to ask him if he was going to be a general again, but as soon as he saw his face, he swallowed it back and just followed without saying a word.

As a result, after not taking a few steps, Ye Yuanpei suddenly stood on his feet.

Li Hua also hurriedly retracted her legs, and almost collided with him.

Ye Yuanpei sighed shortly, and he really couldn't help her: "Do you really want to follow me?" ”

Li Hua blinked and immediately said, "Yes." ”

Ye Yuanpei nodded perfunctorily: "That's okay, you follow me and I'll do it, anyway, I don't have anyone on my hands now, you go to the south of the city to pick up Qingming now, he grabbed some rebels who had infiltrated the city, and told him not to be soft, just kill them and put our own people on top." ”

The first time Li Hua received the task, it was sent by the man she admired, and her face was red: "Yes." ”

Her legs were as fast as hairy, and before Ye Yuanpei's words were finished, the person was gone.

The "careful" behind him swallowed it back again, was stunned for a moment, turned around and disappeared at the end of the street.

King Rongchang brought fifty people under his command, and there was no one to stop him when he entered the palace.

The outer layer of the palace was mixed into the capital early in the morning, his soldiers, and outside the capital, there were tens of thousands of his men and horses responding.

Layer by layer, as long as there is an order inside, all the soldiers he brought will rush in.

There is no emperor in the palace, there are no generals, and the two talismans look very heavy, but they are useless at all.

Those old ministers, those who are loyal to Ling Tiancheng will be killed, and those who run away when they see that the situation is not good, will inevitably be recovered by King Rongchang in the end, as for the harem, there are only a few women in the total, and they will no longer have to worry about it with one sword.

King Rongchang stepped forward step by step, with a majestic smile on his face.

Where is he entering the palace, it is clearly to ascend the throne, and what awaits him in front of him is the supreme throne and imperial power.

The humiliation of so many years is worth it at this moment.

The noon gate has passed.

The long bluestone slab palace road was trampled under his feet and moved forward bravely.

If King Rongchang was also there when Zhuang Changyuan rebelled, he would know that his self-confidence today, his steps, including the smile on his face, were exactly the same as the old minister who failed to rebel and ended up depressed in prison.

Even the road he walked was the same, he came in from the noon gate and was blocked outside the Nanchen gate.

The difference is that Zhuang Changyuan was at night, while King Rongchang was during the day.

Zhuang Changyuan was waiting for him that time with soldiers and archers, and when King Rongchang came, what was waiting for him was the Manchu civil and military.

It seems like he's more likely to get things done.

These officials, who usually know how to chew words, don't need to make a move, it's enough to scare them, it's far worse than those generals who have swords in their hands.

However, it was this group of powerless wastes who actually closed the palace gate of Nanchen Gate, and all of them stood at the foot of the steps, looking at King Rongchang angrily.

King Rongchang walked forward, but they did not retreat, they all looked at him.

"The emperor is dead, dead in the snow of the Northern Barbarians, and now there is no one in the court, do you want to usurp the throne of my Ling family?"

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that thieves shout to catch thieves, and King Rongchang is the most in place.

An old minister who spoke with a breath took a step forward and said: "Lord, the emperor has defeated the Northern Barbarians and is on his way back to Beijing, but you, without being called to Beijing, are still approaching the palace gate, why so-called?" ”

King Rongchang smiled: "Why? Why else, my imperial brother has collapsed, you don't admit it, but you just want to disturb the dynasty, and this king is of course trying to take back the Ling family. ”

Every sentence is the truth, and Ling Tiancheng's death is a sure thing.

The ministers did not let him, and King Rongchang continued to move forward.

Someone was blocking the road, and the people he led were killed on the spot.

The blood stained the bluestone slab outside Nanchen's gate again, and one by one the old bodies fell.

King Rongchang red-eyed: "You old horsemen, everyone else is dead, what strength do we have to guard." ”

The crowd unexpectedly burst out with unanimous words: "The emperor is not dead, King Rongchang has rebelled." ”
