Chapter 690: Bombardment of the Forbidden City
As soon as he saw the holy decree handed over, all the ministers rushed up, Xu Qian unfolded the holy decree to see, many people also stretched their necks, and many people did not look at the content of the holy decree at all, but went directly to look at the seal seal.
The people present are not easy to fool, look at the holy decree, everything else is fake, the authenticity of the seal is the most important, when someone saw the cinnabar red seal, couldn't help but say: "Sure enough, it is a holy decree, it is true, and it is by no means a false edict." β
The few people who were closer nodded their heads, and apparently they could see that this was definitely true.
In later generations, there was a saying called the weakness of the so-called petty bourgeoisie, and in the Ming Dynasty, it should be called the weakness of the ministers.
These guys are essentially the defenders of the current situation, and at the same time, they are dissatisfied, because they can't control the center, so they are often dissatisfied with the policies of the imperial court, dissatisfied with the emperor, and even more dissatisfied with the ministers and traitors.
They dare to say anything, and when it comes to analysis, they still have their own reasoning.
For example, the ** of the Ming Dynasty, the ten haves ** are all secretly written by the ministers of Zhishi, these guys, what they are best at is to refer to Sang and scold Huai, and use all kinds of vicious and obscure words to criticize the evils of the times.
But if you think these guys are the kind of people who say that they want to punish traitors and pull down so-and-so cabinet ministers, don't look at them as if they are going to fight you hard. In fact, the biggest responsibility of these people is to fool others to work hard, and they are desperate? It's another story.
Of course, many people know it. This holy decree may have been forged by Zhang Tianshi's chaotic parties, and it was not the emperor's original intention. But the holy decree is the holy decree, and everyone has a reason, and they said one by one: "Since Your Majesty is fine, we are the teacher and the nameless, so let's do what the will will do." Another humane: "Scattered, scattered, and we'll see you tomorrow." β
"Xu Butang, you see, His Majesty is fine. Why not quit? β
"Yes, yes, the holy decree has been issued, if you surround the noon gate again, it will not be a rescue, it is a rebellion, please Xu Butang think twice, don't mistake yourself."
Xu Qian squinted his eyes and tore this holy decree to shreds. sneered: "This is a chaotic fate, not His Majesty's original intention." β
Zhao Gao jumped out and asked, "How can adults know that this is a chaotic sound, and it is not the original intention of His Majesty?" β
Xu Qian sneered: "Because the will is neither written by the celebrant and the eunuch, nor is it written by Yang Gong of the cabinet. It's not a personal book, it's just that the seal is real, and everything else is fake. If it weren't for the changes in the palace, how could someone else draft the holy decree on his behalf? β
Someone was on fire: "Lord Xu." You are messing around, Wu is not accompanied. If you want to rebel, take care of yourself. β
As he was talking, a captain came running quickly and said, "Your Excellency...... My lord, someone threw a decree from the city wall. β
And the Divine Decree......
Everyone's jaws dropped.
Xu Qian said with a straight face: "Take it to me." β
Another holy decree fell into Xu Qian's hands, Xu Qian unfolded it, and saw it written: "I am bewitched by traitors, life and death are only between one shot, and the society is in danger like tired eggs......"
Everyone looked at each other, because under this holy decree, there was also a great seal, which was also the treasure of the emperor.
Xu Qian raised the holy decree and shouted, "Do you see it? See? His Majesty's life and death are only between one shot, and the society is in danger like tired eggs, what are I waiting for? β
Zhao Gao was dumbfounded, and the others were dumbfounded, not knowing how to refute for a while.
Xu Qian angrily reprimanded: "Traitors and thieves, everyone gets to be punished, today they dare to cause trouble in the palace, Xu someone, and they are incompatible, who dares to stop me, there is no forgiveness for killing, the people on the city tower listen, this official is responsible for the edict of King Qin, you open the door quickly, if not, it will be regarded as a thief, and this official will kill your nine clans!" β
Zhao Gao and these people obediently retreated to the side, two holy decrees, and both of them are true, no one can tell which of these two holy decrees is the original intention of the Son of Heaven, but Xu Qian has taken the holy decree now, and he is even more courageous, so let him play, everyone will watch the excitement.
In fact, everyone was thinking faintly in their hearts, anyway, this noon gate is like an abyss, and the surname Xu can't afford it, so everyone follows behind and waving the flag and shouting, let's mix.
Messing around is the mentality of most people, the so-called can get by, at least things haven't reached the point where everyone can't get by, why bother to fight like the surname Xu.
The people on the tower of the city shouted: "Xu Qian, we respect you as a scholar, and be polite to you in every way, now that you have received the holy decree, you dare to make a mistake, it can be seen that you have other plans, do you have to rebel?" Hugh wants the thief to shout to catch the thief, and if he dares to make another attempt, we will release the arrows. β
Now the two sides are holding their own words, and neither side will budge.
Xu Qian didn't say anything more to the people on the city tower, and went straight to a few military attaches and gave an order: "Siege the city!" β
The military attachΓ©s were a little uneasy, but they still hugged hands together: "Obey!" β
The herald immediately rode between the various departments and shouted: "Your Excellency has an order, break through the noon gate within half an hour, and whoever stands in my way will be killed......
The trumpet sounded, countless teams of officers and soldiers began to prepare for battle, the ground seemed to tremble with the shock of the boots, the officers and soldiers on both wings drew their swords, and the ranks of the Chinese army were set up, and the black pressure pressed towards the city gate.
The city tower was also fighting, and some military attachΓ©s shouted: "Take a bow!" Whoever steps forward, kill! β
Countless human heads emerged from the cracks in the female wall, countless longbows poked out of the city wall, and rows of sharp arrows flashed faintly.
Those ministers who followed Xu Qian to make soy sauce had already retreated far away, and some people turned pale with fright.
There are quite a few of them in this kind of battle, and many of them are outstanding in writing, and they are even able to write vividly and vividly about the confrontation between the two armies, but it is one thing to say and write, and it is another thing to see is believing.
"You can't fight, once we fight, whether it's a rebellion or not, we're all done."
"Yes, where is the reason for the official army attacking the palace city, it is not clear if it is reasonable."
But there are also many bold people, smiling contemptuously, shaking their heads and saying: "Don't worry, you don't worry, think about this is a bluff, it's just to see, who was intimidated first, this kind of thing has seen a lot, this official is in Xuanfu when he supervises the army, he often sees such a scene, the officers and soldiers of the two battalions have a quarrel, and the two sides are tense, but rest assured, everyone is measured, no one will act rashly, this is a false shelf, a joke." Besides, Xu Butang ......"
Thundered...... A loud bang interrupted the man's words.
Then, some people were frightened and fell to the ground, holding their heads in their hands, while others were stunned, not responding at all, rumbling in their ears, and hearing nothing.
Everyone looked closely, a flame exploded on the tower of the noon gate, countless people's flesh and blood flew sideways, and the city wall also exploded a hole, and stones flew around.
Groove ......
At this time, in the hearts of all the ministers, there were 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping through.
You're a brute, surnamed Xu.
This is everyone's second reaction, but some people are scolding it in their mouths, and some people are scolding it in their hearts.
Whether the people present are from the royal party or the old party, whether they sincerely want to save the driver, or those official oils who play soy sauce, everyone's position is surprisingly unanimous now.
Brute, brute, this guy is so bold, it's crazy.
In fact, at the beginning, no one expected Xu Qian to have such a play, everyone originally thought that Xu Qian surrounded the noon gate, just to make a show, at most it was to cause some conflicts, everyone followed the rescue, in essence, it was to play soy sauce, it was to put some pressure on the chaotic party in the palace, force the other party to compromise, and let His Majesty summon everyone to settle the situation.
So one by one, they seemed to come forward to talk, and told each other in righteous words, we will not leave if we don't see the Son of Heaven, and if you don't let us in, we won't stop.
Before the battle, he talked about momentum, and many people were actually careless and said something very kingly.
But...... Xu Qian actually opened the cannon, the cannon, what is the concept of cannoning, what is this place? This is the noon gate, what a noble place in the Ming Dynasty, the surname Xu has opened fire.
Everyone burst into tears, the pit surnamed Xu, everyone followed him, and the soy sauce had no choice but to fight.
On the side of the artillery team of the new army, Lu Bing personally supervised the formation and fired the first cannon, the significance of this artillery is too great, in fact, everyone doesn't want to, but since the 'holy decree' is in hand, everyone believes that only His Majesty is dying, and the danger is at stake, and Xu Qian ordered King Qin to rescue the driver and enter the palace regardless of the consequences. These captains and new troops, who have long been obedient to the famous, will naturally not be polite.
The first cannon is not to attack the city wall of the live ammunition, but to fill the gunpowder of the flowering projectile, the siege effect is not obvious, but the lethality is great, after the tongue of fire, the city wall screams endlessly, the screams are continuous, and even many flesh and blood flying limbs fly directly from the city wall into the moat.
Lu Bing pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, and his heart had already jumped to his throat, but there were still obstacles to the first cannon, and the second cannon was obviously not under any pressure, so he shouted: "Fire, scatter freely, and take time for a stick of incense." β
More than 30 artillery pieces lined up, not politely, the fuses ignited one by one, and then everyone covered their ears, the barrels were red, and countless tongues of fire erupted.
Thundered...... Thundered......
The city tower of the noon gate exploded one after another, and the earth shook!
