I don't know how many people slept comfortably this night, especially Prince Gong, after receiving the secret report, he was sleeping very deeply, his eyes widened, and the fatigue caused by dealing with government affairs the day before seemed to disappear without a trace, he got up in his clothes, "What's the matter?" ”

"There seems to be a fire in the garden?"

"How can there be a fire?" Prince Gong was a little confused, "It's warm weather, it can't be water, right?" What's going on at the palace gate? ”

"There is no movement," the person who came was a personal soldier under the command of the Eight Banners Guardian Military Camp, "You are not allowed to enter without a will, but I am afraid that there will be changes, so the Lord of the Metropolitan Command called the little one to come and report to the king."

"This," Prince Gong pondered a little, "the palace gate is under the key, and you can't enter without an edict, but how can there be a fire here?" With the firelight, why don't you open the palace gate? Could it be ......"

"In addition, there are warning red fireworks lit up inside for no reason," the person who came looked solemn, "but Lord Tutong sent someone to knock on the palace door, but said that it was okay, it was just that a eunuch was drunk and making trouble." ”

Prince Gong pondered, "If there are eunuchs making trouble in the garden, it is normal, but why are there fireworks?" He stood up and paced in the study, and before he could come up with a reason, the housekeeper came to report, "Jiang Shangshu of the military department has arrived." ”

"Jiang Zhongyuan? It was he who came in person. Prince Gong said curiously, "At this time, why is he here?" ”

Ordered the housekeeper to hurry up, Jiang Zhongyuan was just wearing a green coat, and when he came in, he didn't care about saluting, and said eagerly, "Lord Wang, there may be a big change in the Old Summer Palace!" ”

Prince Gong chuckled in his heart, "What big change?" ”

"Guarding the outside of the Old Summer Palace is the Five Cities Terracotta Division, the deputy commander of the Terracotta Division came to report, at midnight someone held the waist card of the Internal Affairs Office and the will of the Queen Mother to open the small palace gate into the Old Summer Palace, and after a while there was a sound of killing in the garden, the people guarding the door felt that it was wrong, and when they went to knock on the palace door, no one paid attention to it." Jiang Zhongyuan's face was solemn, "There are great changes in the garden!" ”

"The will of the Queen Mother?" Prince Gong hurriedly asked, "Is it the Queen Mother?" ”

"I don't know, according to the rules, this is inspected by the eunuchs of the inner gate," Jiang Zhongyuan shook his head, "I don't know which queen mother's edict this is, but I know that the queen mother is still sick, and she is already sick and confused during the day, and she will definitely not suddenly issue an edict to open the palace door overnight, either someone is overbearing, or the intention is wrong!" ”

Prince Gong stood up with a look of fear on his face, "This, this, this,...... Fast! Prince Gong instructed the housekeeper outside, "You go and tell the Eight Banners Guard Camp that as long as it is not the decree of the Empress Dowager Cixi, no one is allowed to mobilize a single soldier, including this king!" ”

"Call Baojun and Shen Guifen again!" Prince Gong said to Jiang Zhongyuan, "Minqiao, no matter who it is, as long as it slips into the garden at night, it must have a plan, but I don't know who it is?" Prince Gong's face showed a large bead of cold sweat, "I'm afraid, the Queen Mother is in danger!" ”

"Please order the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to guard the Old Summer Palace and not allow anyone to enter or leave."

"No!" Prince Gong objected fiercely, "Isn't there a suspicion of forcing the palace?" The situation in the park is unknown," Jiang Zhongyuan hurriedly said, "No matter how it changes, there must be a change!" If you talk about who is the most important in the garden, it is naturally the dragon heir! ”

"Of course it's the Queen Mother!" Prince Gong shouted, he saw Jiang Zhongyuan's expression, and suddenly said, "The queen's dragon son is naturally the most important!" If anyone is plotting something wrong, who are they? ”

"Who do you think you are?" Jiang Zhongyuan said, "I'm afraid that I am a caring person in the Fengtai camp!" ”

"There is movement in the Fengtai camp, do you still know if you are the big Sima?" Prince Gong shook his head irritably, "It's just that we are not allowed to enter without an edict, this is really, we can only stare dryly!" ”

A soldier-like person entered Prince Gong's inner study and said to Jiang Zhongyuan, "Many people have opened the palace gates of the Old Summer Palace and escaped!" ”

"How so!" Prince Gong fell into his position, "What did those people say?" ”

"It is said that there are thieves who have entered the Old Summer Palace and are slashing everywhere inside, and some people also say that the queen is already in the sky!"

Prince Gong's body shook violently, Jiang Zhongyuan slapped the table, and said angrily, "These thieves are really coming towards the queen mother!" ”

"Minqiao," Prince Gong said dumbfoundedly, "you say, is it the idea of the Queen Mother?" ”

"How is this possible?" Jiang Zhongyuan stumbled and sighed, "Lord Wang, the situation in the garden is unknown, you are the king of the council, and you have the power to control the military aircraft, at this time, you must not be suspicious, and your mind must be firm!" Besides, if the queen mother wants to deal with the queen, she still has to do such a reckless thing as transferring troops into the garden? ”

Prince Gong was silent, he remembered some bad rumors, after a while, Bao Jun and Shen Guifen arrived, the mansions of the ministers outside the Old Summer Palace were very close, and Wen Xiang also supported the sick body, Jiang Zhongyuan told the situation of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and the three of them were shocked, Shen Guifen asked a few more questions, clapped his hands and said loudly, "This is someone who is going to rebel!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Bao Jun hurriedly asked.

"If it weren't for someone rebelling, how could there be such a commotion," Shen Guifen shook his head, "But these people don't have enough troops, otherwise no one will be able to open the palace gate and escape outside!" Shen Guifen said to Prince Gong, "King Yizheng quickly ordered to send troops to the Fengtai battalion!" ”

"The king of parliament does not have the right to transfer troops!" Jiang Zhongyuan smiled bitterly, "The transfer of troops has always been based on the seal and decree of the Queen Mother!" Prince Gong thought very much, if the military aircraft of the Fengtai battalion were mobilized at this time, the outside would think that the killing of the Old Summer Palace at night was instigated by the king of Yizheng. ”

"Fengtai can't transfer troops, what about the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion?" Bao Jun hurriedly asked, his face was full of beads of sweat, and he looked at Wen Xiang with a look of horror, for these military ministers who are already extremely human ministers, for the world Zaifu, any political turmoil and changes can only make them fall to the dust, and they will never be held higher.

"The Admiral of the Nine Gates is controlled by Rong Lu," Jiang Zhongyuan closed his eyes helplessly, "Not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, all I can mobilize is these Eight Banners Guard Barracks outside the Old Summer Palace, if someone secretly communicates with them, I can't order them!" ”

"What then?" Bao Jun wiped the sweat on his face, "The Queen Mother is in the garden for one more minute, the more dangerous it is!" If it is dawn, no matter how big the garden is, you can't help but search! ”

Shen Guifen pondered hard and asked Wen Xiang, "Gong Wen, do you want to go in if you wake us up in the morning?" ”

Wen Xiang coughed, "Naturally, we want to go in, how do we know if we don't go in?" (To be continued.) )
