Chapter 224 Emperor Taishang's funeral

At about the end of the day, when the sky was still about to dawn, Shenjing had not yet reached the time to open the door, a team of Dongchang Fanzi came from afar in the wind and snow, and Fanzi rushed to the Anding Gate and shouted: "Juyongguan emergency military situation, open the door!"

In a moment, the city gate rumbled open, and Dongchang Fanzi galloped into Shenjing City and galloped towards the imperial city.

"Third Master! Third Master!"

Jia Jue opened his eyes and stretched out his hand to open the tent, "What's the matter?"

"Mrs. Jiao and Mr. Zhang are here." Mama Li's voice came from outside.

"Oh?"

Jia Jue was stunned, "Invite them to the outer study."

Mama Li: "Yes."

Jia Jue sat up on the bed, Amber got up lazily from behind Jia Jue, first put on a dress by himself, got off the bed, walked to the incense burner with his shoes on, opened the lid, and blew a breath inside, the sandalwood in the incense burner lit an open fire, and the room immediately warmed up a lot, walked to the side of the cabinet, opened the cabinet door, took out a thick cotton robe without sleeves, and walked to the bedside, "It was sent by Qingwen last night, don't wait until the winter solstice, it's getting colder, wear it now."

[I have known an old book friend for ten years to recommend to me to chase books, @

It's worth it, it's time to give it up."

"I'm going to see him slashed with a thousand cuts!" Zhang Qianyan was very clear as soon as he spoke.

Jia Jue and Jiao Da both looked at him.

Zhang Qianyan is still as calm as water: "There is still half a month to go for a whole year."

Jia Jue pondered for a while, and replied softly, "Sir, don't worry, it's in time."

Zhang Qianyan choked in his throat and was stunned.

Jiao Da: "If I remember correctly, the Emperor Taishang has become suspicious of the King of Yizhong, this may be an opportunity, I can't say, I can also push Li Wenzhong." Even if Li Wenzhong didn't dare to get out of Juyong Pass, in order to save his life, King Yizhong would definitely attack Emperor Taishang. It's time to get rid of the sword hanging over our heads."

Zhang Qianyan immediately understood, and continued: "As long as the Emperor Taishang is dead, Li Wenzhong can take out the Emperor's secret decree and play the slogan of the Qing Emperor's side. In this way, these hundreds of thousands of horses will not be able to stay. Gyeonggi's military power is still in the hands of the Honorable Army."

"Okay." Jia Jue folded the letter and handed it to Jiao Da.

Zhang Qianyan hesitated, "Master Hou has to find a way to keep Dai Quan."

Jia Jue was shocked and looked at him, "This, how do you say this?"

Zhang Qianyan said: "Heavenly heart is merciful, the emperor will not kill Dai Quan, but Dong Shan will definitely find a way to get rid of him. can't let his family dominate, otherwise Hou Ye will be subject to him in the future. Keeping Dai Quan and transferring him to Fengzao Palace as an errand will also be a great help to Niangniang."

Jiao Da: "Niangniang needs someone to help."

Jia Jue pondered for a moment and said slowly, "You guys are all right, I have also considered this matter, and originally wanted to transfer Eunuch Xia to Fengzao Palace in the future."

Both pairs of eyes stared at him.

............

A snowstorm that has not been encountered for more than ten years suddenly hit the entire northern region of Gyeonggi, the wind wrapped in goose feathers and heavy snow swept inside and outside the Great Wall of Juyongguan, in the blizzard raging, Zhao Sheng was forced to stop the march, set up a large camp outside Changping City, while sending people to Juyongguan to inquire about the news, while Pegasus reported to Shenjing.

The wind shook the camp tent, a few candles were blown out of the tent, Zhao Sheng sat in front of a large brazier, holding the tongs with his head down and constantly fiddling with the fire in the brazier, I don't know how long it took, he threw the tongs in his hand, he slowly stood up and walked to the tent door, looking at the gray world outside, ready to wait for the snow to stop before sending someone to inquire about the situation. ….

At this moment, an officer came running with difficulty in the wind and snow, and reported: "Marshal, the sentry has come to report that an army has been found three miles away, and the direction is from Juyong Pass."

"What!"

Zhao Sheng was stunned for a moment, and asked urgently, "How many people?"

Officer: "The sentry doesn't dare to go too far ahead, the wind and snow are heavy, the snow and fog are thick, it is difficult to judge, the black is overwhelming, at least thousands of people, there is no cavalry."

Zhao Sheng's face immediately changed.

They met the team of Dongchang fans on the way, and learned from them that Li Wenzhong had rebelled, not only the generals of Juyong Pass, but even the generals of the Imperial Forest Army who opposed him were detained and placed under house arrest.

Thinking of this, he ordered, "Send 10,000 horses from Yangwei and Zhenwei to meet the rebels with me."

Under the orders of the officers, 20,000 officers and men of the Ming Army lined up neatly and stood by in the wind and snow.

"Let's go!"

Zhao Sheng waved his hand, and a team of soldiers of the Royal Forest Army set off in line, sword and shield men, pikemen and 5,000 firecrackers, mighty and murderous, in the vast snow and mist, marching towards the direction of Juyong Pass.

At this time, on the official road, the five thousand Ming army under the leadership of several generals is walking towards Shenjing, Li Wenzhong did not lose his words, after dawn let them lead their soldiers out of the customs, before setting off also took care of the food, but also intimately prepared two days of rations for them, however, everyone had to walk out of the customs, including those generals.

The Juyong guard took two steps to catch up with the deputy general of the Imperial Forest Army, and said loudly, "The wind and snow are too big, let's take refuge in Changping City."

。」

Adjutant General of the Imperial Guards: "Even if you freeze to death, you will freeze to death on the way home!"

Under his leadership, the 5,000 Ming troops who had been disarmed by Li Wenzhong advanced slowly under the ravages of the wind and snow, but the goal was clear, to go home.

"Look, big man!"

The adjutant general pointed ahead and shouted, Zhao Sheng raised his clairvoyance and looked over, only to see a torch blazing in the snow mist, through the snowflakes, a large group of soldiers in cotton clothes appeared at the end of the world, this is the signal of the attack, this is the bell of the prelude to a big battle.

"Take my orders, fire!"

"Fire!"

In the shouting of the officers, the dense sound of fire guns sounded, and the Ming army, which was marching against the wind and snow two hundred paces away, suddenly let out a series of screams, and hundreds of people fell to the ground and struggled in pain.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Several generals of the Imperial Forest Army reacted and roared loudly, and the Ming army on the march was in chaos.

At this moment, the dense sound of fire guns sounded again, before because it was a queue, it failed to cause too many casualties, but at this moment the soldiers were all spread out in the official road and the snow on both sides, especially those soldiers who lived in Yongguan were gathered together, these are all the latest self-generated firearms, the effective range is three hundred steps, thousands of shots at a salvo, even Zhao Sheng and others are also the first time to see, dense as raindrops of projectiles gushing out, the Ming army fell a large piece, and the Ming army in front was almost swept away.

The terrible screams, the wails before death resounded through the heavens and the earth. ….

However, in response to them, all that was the dense sound of fire and high-speed projectiles flew in, and these unarmed Ming troops were already out of control and ran frantically in the direction of Juyong Pass.

The blood-red eyes of the lieutenant general of the Imperial Forest Army were firmly fixed on the front of the official road, and he knew that the Ming army that ambushed them was there.

"General, go!"

Several pro-soldiers desperately pushed him, but he pushed away the pro-soldiers, stepped forward, and shouted, "Lao Tzu is not a rebel!"

He drew his sword and crossed his neck.....

The official road outside Changping was littered with the corpses of the Ming army, and the snow was dyed red with blood.

............

In the afternoon, a news spread rapidly in Shenjing City, the deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Xingyang Bo Li Wenzhong rebelled, not only killed several court generals, but also controlled Juyong Pass, the gateway to Gyeonggi, the news shook the whole city, and the emperor held an emergency meeting in the Yangxin Palace.

The side hall of Kunning Palace was surprisingly quiet, only the self-striking bell was ticking.

Zhu Dakang, the king of Yizhong County, was already kneeling in front of the kang, and the secret letter was placed on the ground in front of him.

Heavenly Blessing Emperor Zhu Qinde sat on the kang and glanced at him coldly, and asked, "Why?"

Zhu Dakang: "You know, why bother asking!"

Emperor Tianyou's anger, which had already disappeared, rose again, and said coldly, "You didn't say anything, how do I know?"

Zhu Dakang: "I said that you can return to me the throne that should have belonged to my father!"

It's okay not to mention the throne, but when it comes to the throne, Emperor Tianyou can no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and he pats it a few times: "Damn the evil obstacle! You dare to peep into the treasure! Sharp-beaked monkey gills, where is there a little bit of a gentleman!"

"Yes! I don't have the appearance of a king." Zhu Dakang, who had been keeping his head down, raised his head at this time, and replied without showing weakness: "Could it be that those who steal the throne and are rebellious will have the appearance of a king!"

"You!"

This top, the Emperor of Tianyou was shocked and angry, his body trembled, his head suddenly became dizzy again, and he was shaking, so frightened that Dai Quan rushed up and hugged him: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Zhu Dakang had already stood up, supported Emperor Tianyou from the side, and shouted loudly, "Imperial grandfather!"

Seeing that Emperor Tianyou's eyes were closed and his teeth were clenched, Zhu Dakang was really panicked, he was afraid that without Emperor Tianyou's protection, the emperor would confine him to the Fengyang Emperor's Mausoleum, and roared out loudly with beads of sweat: "Someone! Come on! Pass on the doctor, pass on the doctor!"

"Your Majesty!" Two eunuchs on duty outside the hall rushed in.

At this moment, Emperor Tianyou's eyes opened and roared

"Get out!" Then he said to Dai Quan, "Medicine."

"Yes." Dai Quan carefully let go of his hand, and immediately shouted to the two eunuchs on duty, "Don't go out yet!" As he spoke, he walked to the small desk, opened the lid of the box, took out a jade bottle from it, uncorked the bottle as he walked, poured out a bright red pill from it, walked to Emperor Tianyou, and stuffed the pill into his mouth.

Emperor Tianyou chewed the pill and swallowed it, drank two more sips of tea in Dai Quan's hand, and after a while, his eyes were red, and his face was also red, and he felt that Zhu Dakang was supporting him, and sighed, "Let go."

Only then did Zhu Dakang slowly let go of the hand holding Emperor Tianyou, walked in front of him and knelt down again.

Emperor Tianyou's face was a little better, and he said, "Get up!" ….

"Emperor Xie's grandfather!"

"Go! Call the Emperor."

"Yes!"

Listening to the sound of the door closing outside, Zhu Dakang sweated on his forehead again.

Emperor Tianyou: "I'm afraid!"

"Yes." Zhu Dakang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and replied loudly, "Uncle Huang will not let me go." After speaking, he gritted his teeth and straightened up, "Even if my grandson dies, I don't want to go to Fengyang."

"And then?"

Zhu Dakang's eyes slowly flashed with despair at this time, and he was stunned, motionless.

Emperor Tianyou sighed, and then said, "Help me up."

"Yes."

Zhu Dakang stood up and helped Emperor Tianyou to sit down in front of the imperial eucalyptus, only to see Emperor Tianyou write a line of words on the paper with a pen - no real crime of rebellion, Emperor Ming must not harm the king of Yizhong County. And stamped with his seal.

Zhu Dakang sighed in his heart and looked at Emperor Tianyou in surprise.

Emperor Tianyou: "How is it, don't you feel wronged now?"

Zhu Dakang: "My grandson doesn't dare."

"Don't dare?!"

Emperor Tianyou snorted coldly, took a sip of the tea bowl on the imperial eucalyptus, and asked, "Answer my question, and this edict will be given to you."

Zhu Dakang immediately bowed down and said, "Please make it clear to the emperor's grandfather!"

Emperor Tianyou looked at him for a while before he said, "Don't try to deceive me, otherwise, my words can make you lose everything."

"Yes! My grandson knows."

"Say, who's helping you? Isn't it water-soluble that little ***?!"

Zhu Dakang pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then said, "I don't know much about this, maybe it's him, of course, it could be the Jia family, the Chen family and the Niu family, who knows."

"What did you say?"

Emperor Tianyou felt a burst of anger in his heart, and he struggled to stand up, but was held down by Zhu Dakang and couldn't move.

"Grandson, what are you—what are you going to do?"

Emperor Tianyou suddenly saw the murderous intent in Zhu Dakang's eyes, and he was afraid in his heart, and he was about to call someone, but Zhu Dakang covered his mouth and nose with his hands.

Zhu Qinde was so frightened that his soul was scattered, he struggled desperately, Zhu Dakang was anxious, he caught a glimpse of the jade bottle on the imperial eucalyptus, stretched out a hand to take it, pulled out the cork on it with his mouth, poured all the pills into his mouth, and then punched Emperor Tianyou in the abdomen, and a bowl of tea poured the pills into his stomach.

Emperor Tianyou's struggle became more and more intense, and the instinct to survive coupled with those pills made him much stronger for a while, and Zhu Dakang's heart began to despair.

At this moment, the muscles on Emperor Tianyou's face began to twitch, blood immediately poured up on his face, his eyeballs were full of bloodshots, and then blood seeped out from Zhu Dakang's fingers, he was so frightened that he retracted his hand, and Emperor Tianyou was lying crookedly on the dragon chair, the corners of his mouth were still gurgling blood.

Emperor Tianyou's face changed again, becoming gray and white, and his eyes lost his mind, becoming darker and darker.

Zhu Dakang sat down on the ground and muttered, "Don't blame me, you forced me!" Listening to the sound of footsteps coming from outside the hall, he hurriedly packed up his things, and then shouted, "Imperial grandfather! Imperial grandfather! Come on, people.....

............

Jia Jue came out of Jia Yu's study, shivered by the snow wind, and looked up at the heavy snow.

In the distance, the Jingyang bell came from the northwest wind howling!

Jia Jue was stunned.

Jingyang bell came desolate one by one!

"What's the sound?" Jia Yu lifted the thick cotton curtain and walked out.

Jia Jue replied calmly, "It's the emperor's funeral!"

Like a thunderclap, Jia Yu was shocked.

Jingyang bells reverberate over the entire Shenjing City!.

Will sleep during the day
