Just when Ding Baiying and others surrounded the 12th courtyard of Hua, at the mouth of the alley on the east side of Wangfujing Street in the capital, that is, the east side of Wangfujing Street in later generations, Wei Zhongxian, who was rescued today, appeared here with the support of his righteous daughter Wei Ting.

On his left, there are the big and small stalls of the East Factory from Zhao Jingzhong, and on his right hand is the head of Jinyiwei, the Jinyiwei Thousand Households of the Five Thousand Households in the capital, except for Lu Wenzhao who is in the Imperial Prison, the other four thousand households have arrived.

Behind everyone, there was a pure army team composed of more than 2,000 brocade guards and 5,000 eunuchs, all of whom remained silent and did not make a sound.

In the distance, there was a chaotic and dense sound of footsteps in the dark night, and a few soldiers appeared in the eyes of everyone, in front of these soldiers, a large sedan chair of eight people was lifted, and they rushed quickly, and stopped not far in front of Wei Zhongxian, and a military general wearing a military uniform with a sword at his waist walked down from the sedan chair.

When he saw Wei Zhongxian, the general stepped forward quickly, hugged his fists and said with a smile:

"Zhu Chunchen meets nine thousand years old, your old man has suffered these days!"

Wei Zhongxian saw that he was still coming in a sedan chair in military uniform, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, but he said with a smile on his face:

"Chengguo Gong is polite, tonight's major affairs of the prince still depend on the grandfather, with today's dragon work, the grandfather will take another step forward, just around the corner!"

The hereditary prince went one step further, it was a prince with a different surname, Zhu Chunchen had a smile on his face, but he waved his hand again and again:

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

Wei Zhongxian didn't bother to be polite with him, and asked bluntly: "Conspiracy tonight, I don't know how many people from Jingying Chengguo have brought?" ”

"Forehead ......"

Zhu Chunchen's face was a little embarrassed, and he stretched out five fingers.

Wei Zhongxian was surprised: "I heard that there has always been a matter of empty salaries in the army, and the actual number of large battalions in various places can be fifty percent of the roster, even if the army is governed in a good way, if the old man remembers correctly, there are more than 60,000 people on the roster of the Beijing camp, and Chengguo Gong can bring 50,000, it is really rare, and it can be done tonight!" ”

Zhu Chunchen was even more embarrassed, his forehead began to sweat, and he said, "It's ......, it's five thousand people!" ”

After he finished speaking, he hurriedly explained: "Nine thousand years old, we are just accompanying King Xin into the palace Qingjun side, and we don't need so many people, my five thousand Beijing camp, plus my father-in-law's pure army, who can be in this capital, as long as you enter the palace gate, then everything will be fine!" ”

In fact, since the change of Tumubao, the Beijing camp has declined, and now it has long been rotten, the roster is 60,000 people, the actual number is less than half, and most of them are full, and the children of all the martial arts elites in the capital are in the Beijing camp to get a share of the oil.

It was not easy for Zhu Chunchen to get together enough for these 5,000 people, and he also took out some of the silver himself to lure them to profit, so he was able to gather so many people, and only about 3,000 people could fight among the 5,000 people.

At this time, in front of Wei Zhongxian, he naturally couldn't explain the situation, otherwise the real situation would be spread out, even if King Xin succeeded in ascending the throne tonight, he would not let go of him, the governor of Beijing.

Wei Zhongxian already knew the real situation, but he just laughed twice, and then he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he said:

"Since the Duke of Chengguo has arrived, let's take the prince out first!"

Zhu Chunchen nodded and said: "What Jiu Qiansui said is that the people who surrounded Xinwang's Mansion were all factory guards, and Jiu Qiansui was afraid that he couldn't bear to do it, so let the lower officials do it for him!" ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Wei Zhongxian's reply, he turned to a infantry general behind him and ordered: "Go and clean up all the brocade guards outside the palace and welcome the prince into the palace!" ”

"Yes!"

The general of the infantry army immediately took hundreds of people and rushed into the streets of the Ten Princes' Mansion and went straight to the Xinwangfu.

"Nine thousand years old!"

"Nine thousand years old!"

The four thousand households of Jinyi Wei were a little anxious, and rescued King Xin from the captivity, this is a great achievement, Zhu Chunchen did this, that is Chiguoguo's robbery, they don't understand how Wei Zhongxian can allow the other party to rob the credit under his nose.

Wei Zhongxian didn't even say anything, just waved his hand, even if the four thousand households were unwilling, they didn't dare to say anything else.

It's strange that I didn't hear the sound of fighting, and after a while, the captain of the Beijing camp came back and reported that the factory guards in charge of encircling the Xinwang Mansion were all gone, and the Xinwang was safe and sound, and he had been picked up and was coming here.

Zhu Chunchen's eyelids trembled, he suddenly had a bad feeling, and said to Wei Zhongxian on the side:

"Nine thousand years old, how could this factory guard suddenly disappear, it can't be that the faint king knew the news in advance, right?"

Wei Zhongxian sneered and said: "Your ancestors are also rich and noble in the battle formation, how come you are a rat in your generation, just now you also said that with the strength in your hands and me, there is no one in the capital, why are you suspicious now!" ”

"Let me ask you, even if the emperor knows the news in advance, does he have soldiers in his hands? With that little brocade in the palace, how can you be your opponent of me? ”

As soon as he said this, Zhu Chunchen suddenly put his mind at ease and laughed: "What Jiu Qiansui said is that the lower officials are too careful, let's go and meet the prince together!" ”

The two walked side by side, and when they walked not far away, they saw the frame of King Shin.

Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, knew that Wei Zhongxian and Zhu Chunchen were coming to greet him, so he asked the eunuch to carry the lantern and get out of the car in person, and pulled the two of them to kneel, and tears filled his eyes with excitement as he spoke;

"The imperial brother has no way, the traitors in the court and the middle of the country are troublesome, the society and the country are in danger, the Duke of Cheng and the Duke of Wei can do the righteous deeds of today's Qing monarch, not only saved the life of Lone, but also saved the Ming Dynasty, it is really my minister of the Ming humerus, your merits, lonely and never forget!"

Zhu Youzhen's sincere words, and Zhu Chunchen, who was moved, didn't want it, and even said that this is what a minister should do.

Wei Zhongxian also said polite words, but in his eyes, looking at those two guys was like looking at dead people.

Wei Zhongxian reminded: "Lord Wang, let's enter the palace!" ”

Zhu Youzhen's eyes were hot, and he nodded excitedly: "Okay, enter the palace!" ”

One by one, he pulled Zhu Chunchen and Wei Zhongxian into his chariot, and then went straight to the palace under the escort of the army.

And just halfway through, the trumpet arrows sounded in the sky, and someone came to report that Ding Baiying's plan to seize the Jinyi Guard's command to make the token fail, and all the people in the rivers and lakes were wiped out.

Zhu Youzhen's face sank, and he said hatefully: "There is more than enough success, more than failure, waste!" ”

Zhu Chunchen scolded two sentences together, but Wei Zhongxian's eyelids drooped, and he didn't echo it, but said:

"Since you can't get the token, then let people trick you into opening the city gate, if it still doesn't work, then attack it!"

Zhu Chunchen nodded and said: "What Gonggong Wei said makes sense, I have already asked people to transfer two artillery pieces from the Shenji Battalion, if the palace gate is not opened, then it will be opened directly, and I will wait for the righteous act of the Qing monarch to do so, and I will not care about so much!" ”

Zhu Youzhen turned his anger into joy: "That's right, then it's all thanks to Chengguo and Wei Gonggong!" ”

The four thousand households of Jinyi Wei all took their own people and rode straight to the palace gate.

When they arrived at the noon gate, one of the thousand households shouted inside:

"I am a thousand households in brocade clothes, and now Zhu Chunchen, the prince of Chengguo, rebelled, and I was ordered to come to protect the palace, quickly open the door and let me in!"

After a while, I saw Pei Lun, the new Jinyi Qianhu on the imperial city, poking his head out: "It turned out to be Brother Luo, I don't know if there is a token for the commander?" ”

Luo Yangxing had already thought of a rhetoric: "The commander has died under the chaotic army, open the door quickly, otherwise as soon as the army arrives, we will not have time to enter the palace." ”

Pei Lun unhurriedly took out the cigarette that Hua Twelve gave him, lit it, took a puff, and said with a smile:

"Brother Luo, this is not easy to do, without the token of the commander, no one is allowed to open the door of this palace, this is the rule!"

Luo Yangxing was furious, craned his neck and shouted: "Pei Lun, when has this happened, can you take responsibility for it?" ”

The other three brocade clothes also scolded.

Pei Lun yawned: "Okay, okay, there is no token, then say the customs clearance password today!" ”

"Clearance password?"

The four major commanders glanced at each other, they were all imprisoned in Beiya before, how do they know what the latest customs clearance order is.

One of the hundred households under Luo Yangxing said in a low voice: "My lord, I know, I heard Lu Jianxing and them last time!" ”

"Then don't say it quickly!"

"Yes!"

The man immediately stepped forward, raised his head to the city and shouted, "The moonlight in front of the bed!" ”

Pei Lun took a puff of cigarette and said lazily: "Two pairs of shoes on the ground!" ”

"Dog man and woman in bed!"

Pei Lun pointed downward: "Among them is you!" ”

Inside the palace gate, there was a sound of laughter.

Luo Yangxing shouted: "It's all a fart, since the customs clearance password is right, then don't open the door quickly!" ”

Sou~

A wolf's tooth arrow shot directly into the neck of the hundred households who stepped forward to give the pass order.

The hundred households covered their necks and took a few steps back in disbelief, and finally fell down with their heads up, dead and blind.

The archery was Zheng Zhangban, who was also responsible for guarding the imperial city tonight.

Luo Yangxing was taken aback: "What are you doing, you can't rebel!" ”

Pei Lun accepted the cynical attitude at this time, and sneered:

"Luo Yangxing, I think it's you who want to rebel, the customs clearance password is not right at all, the one just now has already been replaced, give me arrows!"

As soon as he gave the order, the archers above the imperial city released their arrows one after another, and for a while the arrows rained down.

"Removal ......"

The four thousand households, under the escort of their own soldiers, turned around and ran, leaving behind more than a dozen corpses of their Jinyi guards.

Pei Lun looked at the corpse of his former colleague, and there was only indifference in his eyes, this is the fate of standing on the wrong team, as a Jinyi guard, he has long been used to it, and there is nothing to say.

The four thousand households withdrew from the Heavenly Street in embarrassment, and when King Xin saw them returning, he asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Luo Yangxing said ashamedly: "Hua Twelve's dog thief has already prepared, and the ones guarding the palace tonight are his cronies Pei Lun and Dongchang Zheng Zhangban, and they also changed the customs clearance password, we have been recognized!" ”

Zhu Youzhen's face sank, revealing displeasure.

Zhu Chunchen made meritorious contributions: "It's just a door, then fuck it!" ”

King Xin was overjoyed at the moment and said: "Then there will be Lao Chengguogong!" ”

Immediately, the Wuyang brigade poured into the Heavenly Street, and Pei Lun and Zheng Zhangban on the city wall all had solemn faces.

Zheng Zhangban asked Pei Lun, "Do you use the beacon fire to ignite?" ”

Pei Lun shook his head and said: "It's Jingying who rebelled tonight, what's the use of lighting a beacon fire, don't worry, the adults have already made a complete plan, with that person here, the king of faith can't do anything!" ”

At this time, Zhu Chunchen had already asked people to come forward to call the door, and the man said in the city that King Xin and Chengguo Gong were just coming for the side of the Qing monarch, and they had no intention of rebelling.

At the same time, I also advise the factory guards in the city to open the palace gate and welcome the king of letters, otherwise the army will regret it too late, and when the palace gate is broken, all the people guarding the gate at this time will die without a place to bury.

Zheng Huan, who was called by this person, was killed by Zheng Zhangban with an arrow, which made Zhu Chunchen furious and ordered the artillery to be pushed up.

The army formation separated, and the two red-clothed cannons were pulled into the heavenly street by the carriage, and then adjusted the distance and direction, and directly opened artillery to bombard the palace gate.

When Pei Lun saw the cannon, he felt bad, and hurriedly asked everyone in the city to hide and look for cover.

Boom twice, one cannon hit the city head, the city head suddenly burst into flames, the other shot hit the target, the city gate was bombed to expose a hole the size of a water tank, fortunately the city gate has not completely fallen.

Seeing that the city gate was blasted out of the big hole, Zhu Chunchen made meritorious contributions, did not ask for two more cannons, directly drew his sword, and pointed forward:

"Give me a rush, the one who enters the palace gate first will be promoted to the third level!"

The next moment, the 5,000 men and horses of the Beijing camp rushed forward like a rabble, and at first glance they were negligent in training.

When Pei Lun and Zheng Zhangban re-emerged from the city, their heads were covered with dust, they shook their heads, and they were a little dizzy from the shock, but at this time, they couldn't care so much, and they all tried their best to roar:

"Shoot the arrows and kill me!"

For a while, arrows rained down at the head of the city, and even though the soldiers in the Beijing camp were holding shields, people kept falling.

When rushing to the city gate, a Beijing camp Qianzong killed a brocade soldier who was blocking the big hole in front of the city gate, laughed and walked into the door from the big hole, but at this time a meteor hammer flew and hit its top gate directly, and immediately the head turned into a burst melon, and the surrounding Beijing camp soldiers were full of blood and brains, but it was Zheng Zhangban who took Dongchang Fanzi to come up.

In the Qianqing Palace, listening to the sound of cannons and fighting from the direction of the palace gate, Zhu Youxiao's face sank like water, clenched his fists tightly, and clenched his fingers white.

Queen Zhang Yan was by her husband's side, holding her husband's hand with her hand, although she did not say anything to persuade her, but at this time, silent companionship is the best comfort.

Principal Zhu You sighed and held Zhang Yan's hand with his backhand:

"I originally hoped that everything was fake, and I also hoped that Deyo would be able to get lost and return to the precipice, so that I would have a reason to spare his life, let him be rich and prosperous for a lifetime, and be a free prince!"

Zhang Yan knew that 'Deyo' was Zhu Youzhen's word, and at this time she could feel the helplessness and sadness in the heart of this emperor's husband, after all, he was his only brother.

Outside the palace, Zhu Youzhen was nervously watching the battle situation, and seeing that the Beijing camp couldn't rush into the palace gate for a while, he anxiously said to Wei Zhongxian beside him:

"Father-in-law Wei, your pure army is also on it!"

Wei Zhongxian said with a smile: "The prince is too worried, the small palace gate can't stop Cheng Guogong, and besides, it's such a big place, five thousand people have already blocked the palace gate, I now let the Jingjun and Jinyi guards go up, it won't work, let's let them protect the prince in the back!" ”

Zhu Chunchen, who was on Zhu Youxiao's right, agreed in order to compete for the first credit: "What Gonggong Wei said is, Lord Wang, you can rest assured, how can the little palace gate block my Jingying brothers!" ”

King Xin did not doubt that he had him, and he nodded as well.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard at the end of the heavenly street, and a few fast horses rushed over with hundreds of people.

Among the four thousand households, Luo Yangxing shouted: "It's the dog thief of Hua Twelve, the big guy protects the prince!" ”

The Jinyi guards under them immediately stepped forward to block the way of Hua Twelve, Lu Jianxing and others.

Lu Jianxing roared: "Bold, the Jinyi Guard commanded the twelve adults of Hua in person, and the others were all Jinyi Guards, which one dared to stop them?" ”

These Jinyi guards immediately hesitated, after all, this was their boss's boss, the head of the Jinyi Guard.

Zhu Youzhen's eyes moved, and he felt that Hua Twelve could move to Wei Zhongxian, and he was also a talent, and it would be good if he could take it for his own use, so he immediately took two steps forward and said loudly:

"Commander Hua, it's better to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, the things of the past, this king can not blame the past!"

Hua Twelve rode on the horse and smiled disdainfully: "Little King Xin is also worthy of letting me be like-minded, believe it or not, as soon as I point at you, you will die immediately!" ”

As soon as he said this, he was still nervous and angry, but he couldn't hold back in an instant, Zhu Chunchen and the four thousand households all laughed, it turned out that this commander was crazy.

King Xin was also laughing, but there was a chill in his eyes: "This king doesn't believe it!" ”

Hua Twelve pointed with his hand: "Die!" ”

Before King Xin could laugh, he suddenly saw a thin sword stabbed out of his chest, and there was a trace of blood on the tip of the sword, and he was a little puzzled:

"Where did this sword come from......

The question was not solved, and the person had lost his strength and fell directly to the ground.
