Forty-three, the cold moon is silent (2)

The night of March 16, the 14th year of Tongzhi, came as promised, the original moment was still full of sunset, and after a blink of an eye, it was already dusk, Deshengmen had already cleared out the idle people, etc., the solemn uniformed policemen rushed out, and the tide rushed to the western suburbs, Wu Yundi and Rong Lu rode horses, with bibs, not to let people see their faces clearly, Feng Sanbao instructed the gatekeeper here, "This officer received an order from the military department, there are thieves in the western suburbs to make trouble, and they are ordered to go to encircle and suppress, you must guard the city gate, no central decree, do not open the city without authorization!" ”

"Yes!"

In the night, the torches and lanterns spread out, forming a long flaming red dragon, about an hour after a rapid march, it arrived near the Shengping Bureau, the door of the ministers' mansion was closed, there was no one outside, the army stopped, and then it will inevitably hold the defense army stationed here, "The Eight Banners Guard Camp is in front, although it is your old subordinate, but now I don't know what their internal situation is, I went to see Jiang Zhongyuan, his house is near the left," Rong Lu said, "Let him go out, At least you have to enter the Old Summer Palace without blood. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Then take the edict away."

Rong Lu shook his head, "I don't need to, he's not a stupid person, as long as he hears about this, he will definitely see it." ”

Immediately brought a hundred people and quietly drowned in the night, the rest of the people sat on the ground to rest, Feng Sanbao said to Wu Yundi, "Master Hou, you preside over today's battle, the troops of the police station are all at your disposal, you listen to me, it's not that I'm modest, after all, I haven't experienced the battlefield, and it's not good to make a mistake when the time comes." ”

Wu Yundi nodded, "Just listen to my father-in-law." ”

After half a tea hour, Jiang Zhongyuan came here panting and riding a horse with two relatives, he had just dismounted, he didn't see anyone else, and he didn't care about Feng San's knees asking for peace, so he shouted in a straight voice, "Wu Yundi, what are you going to do, rebel!" ”

"It's the thieves in the garden who rebel," Wu Yundi sat on the mazar and closed his eyes to recuperate, didn't get up, and said indifferently, "It's not Wu, Wu is a loyal minister of the Son of Heaven, and he will never do anything rebellious, but Brother Zhonghua told you?" I have the secret edict of the Queen Mother here! ”

"Rong Lu said it, but I didn't believe it, so I came to check it before." Jiang Zhongyuan wiped the cold sweat on his face, "Don't fall for the villain's tricks!" ”

Wu Yundi took out a piece of green cloth from his chest and threw it to Jiang Zhongyuan, Jiang Zhongyuan hurriedly caught it, glared at Wu Yundi, and spread it out, "This is the chapter of the Tongdaotang?" He asked, confused.

"I haven't used the seal for the past few years, but you have been working in the military department for so many years, is it the handwriting of the queen mother, you can always see it, right?" Wu Yundi said.

"I entered Beijing as the secretary of the military department, and I used the same hall to listen to the government, I can see it clearly," Jiang Zhongyuan said angrily, "It's just that where is the Queen Mother now?" I asked Rong Lu, but he refused to say, saying that he would just go to escort him and ask me to come here to see you. ”

"Rong Lu went to pick up the driver?" Wu Yundi frowned, "Why is he so stubborn!" ”

"Now is not the time to talk about this thing, now is the time for us to deal with the traitor first!" Wu Yundi slowly stood up, his hands tightened the cowhide rope on his chest, "As long as the chaos in the Old Summer Palace is solved, the Queen Mother will naturally be able to show up, and this is also the task given to us by the Queen Mother!" Jiang Shangshu, what do you think? ”

Jiang Zhongyuan knelt down and picked up the piece of green cloth, "I obey the order of the Queen Mother, and I have no two hearts." ”

"That's very good," Wu Yundi took the piece of green cloth, "There is a cloth and belt edict here, presumably the Eight Banners Guard Camp has nothing to say, but if you Jiang Dashangshu comes forward, everything will be easier to say, okay, no need to talk nonsense," Jiang Zhongyuan was about to say something, but was blocked back by Wu Yundi's words, "Go to the palace gate immediately, I don't want to delay too long outside!" ”

The lights outside the Old Summer Palace were brilliant, the people guarding the door were absent-minded, the weather was a little cold at night, these people were not belonging, and they became more and more lazy, and suddenly a whistle blew eagerly, "Woo woo!" ”

The guard guarding the door suddenly became vigilant, "What's the matter?" ”

Half a mile away, more and more torches appeared in front of the guards guarding the gate, and the guards guarding the palace gate shouted, and everyone took out their weapons, "What people! ”

"It's the official!" Jiang Zhongyuan appeared among the torches, and I saw him sitting on his horse, slowly pacing forward, and scanning everyone with a solemn expression, "Where is the general of the Eight Banners Guard Camp?" ”

"Xiaguan Dekui greets the lord of the ministry," a fat general appeared on the side of the palace gate, and a small soldier behind him quickly turned around and left, only to see him casually bow his hand towards Jiang Zhongyuan, "Dare to ask what the lord is doing with these people in the Old Summer Palace at night?" Is it a rebellion? ”

"This official is ordered by the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to escort him!" Jiang Zhongyuan said to Dekui.

"The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother have already been in the sky, I don't know where your decree came from, the order I received is an edict without a seal, and the palace door cannot be opened," Dekui was originally shocked when he heard the five words of the Queen Mother, but he immediately calmed down, "Your Excellency, please go back, tomorrow I will fold the bullet and impeach the Lord." ”

"You said that the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are already in Bintian?" Jiang Zhongyuan said solemnly.

"The edict has been made public," said Dekui, "and is this still to be asked?" ”

"Then if I say that the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are not dead," Jiang Zhongyuan looked at everyone, "Do you believe it?" ”

The guards guarding the door were in a commotion, and when they faced the unknown team, they were not disturbed, but they were disturbed by Jiang Zhongyuan's words.

"Master Jiang!" Dekui shouted, "The dead are great, don't talk nonsense!" ”

"You Dekui is loyal to his duties, I know, so the edict, you will abide by it, but this edict," Jiang Zhongyuan shouted, "It was done by the rebels and thieves, last night the thieves stole into the Old Summer Palace, trying to harm the queen mother, fortunately, the loyal ministers and righteous people sent the queen mother out of the garden, which survived, the existing edict is here, it is the queen mother's own handwriting, and there is a seal of the same hall on it!" Jiang Zhongyuan took out the piece of green cloth, and the crowd was in an uproar, "Don't open the palace door quickly, let me wait for the King of Internal Service!" ”

Jiang Zhongyuan lifted the green cloth, and everyone's eyes were focused on this green cloth, Dekui was very shocked, "This ...... The lower officials must report to the garden first! ”

"Dekui, don't make a mistake about yourself!" Jiang Zhongyuan shouted, "I know your duty, it is by no means a first-class disorder, otherwise you will not guard outside the garden, I have a will, the queen mother and the queen mother are still there, even if those traitors have 100,000 thoughts, they will definitely not succeed, if you know this, you should know the current affairs, and open the city gate quickly, otherwise do you think that the rebels behind me are all deceived by empty mouths and white teeth!" ”

Dekui was finally moved, and he gritted his teeth, "Zun Yizhi, open the door!" (To be continued.) )
