On both sides of the road outside the left gate of Chang'an Gate, Liu Wenbin, the first assistant of the cabinet, led hundreds of civil and military officials to kneel.

Zhu Wucheng's dragon chariot and thousands of forbidden army guards were activated, and at the same time, the queen's chariot also set off from Dong'anmen.

Looking at the dragon that disappeared outside the forbidden door, the corner of the mouth of Zhu Daquan, the king of Hejian, skimmed a trace of laughter, got up by himself, dusted off the loess on his clothes, and glanced at the hundred officials who were still kneeling on the ground, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

However, he also discovered the strength of the power behind the unborn Prince Jia, this news overwhelmed the entire Ming Dynasty, except for the different voices of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Hanlin Academy, even the Qingliu leaders like Li Shouzhong, the head of the household department, were silent, although there was a trace of selfishness, but more was forced by pressure from the military.

Thinking of what the emperor had said to him, he snorted softly in his nostrils, and walked straight to the palace.

Outside the Desheng Gate, in the cheers of the onlookers, the convoy set off to the Shahe Palace.....

Jia Jue took a thousand heavily armed elite cavalry to guard the vicinity of the chariot, which was a kind of trust and a kind of appeasement and compensation.

In the car, Zhu Wucheng sat with his eyes closed, his body swaying slightly with the wheels rolling.

I didn't sleep well last night, with a hint of excitement and a hint of worry.

Yesterday afternoon, Dongchang finally found the secret file hidden by Ma Shun, and successfully contacted the secret spy of Nanzhen Fusi lurking in the capital, and learned about the affairs of the Beijing Palace.

There is also good news from the Jinling Shipyard, the first batch of two Fu ships and three large sea ships have been launched for sea trials, which also means that in the second half of the year, the treasures accumulated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs can be sold to the South Seas, or even further afield, with money, everything is easy to say.

What excited Zhu Wucheng the most was the incriminating evidence of the Joseon royal family presented by the North Korean mission, which gave him a reason to depose the Li family, originally he didn't care about this barren vassal state, but with the information presented by Kim Zhixiu, he found that there were so many minerals in North Korea, especially copper and coal, which were urgently needed in the Ming Dynasty. This may not have been thought of by the military.

Thinking of this, Zhu Wucheng slowly opened his eyes, looked at Jia Jue and those cavalry of the Rui Shi Battalion with some complicated feelings, the murderous aura on these cavalry made him a little uneasy, he shook unconsciously, leaned forward slightly, reacted, and sat up reservedly.

Zhu Wucheng's face showed endless emotion, he didn't sleep well all night, and he thought of countless possibilities, but he didn't expect Jia Jue and the others to accept his will so calmly, as if it was expected, which made him a little frustrated. Then, he whispered to Dong Shan, who was riding a horse and guarding the chariot.

Dong Shan shook the reins of his horse and approached Jia Jue: "Master Hou, Your Majesty called you over." ”

Jia Jue couldn't help but glance at Long Xuan.

While speaking, Long Bao slowed down, and Dong Shan reminded in a low voice: "Master Hou, please!" Jia Jue nodded, turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the dragon.

Zhu Wucheng lifted the curtains: "These false gifts are exempt, come up." ”

Jia Jue handed the saber to the eunuch of the Punishment Division on the side, put one hand on the frame, jumped on the cart with his feet, and bent down and walked in.

The surrounding officials looked at each other, all at a loss.

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

After the beginning of spring in the first year of Yong'an, there was only a sparse or occasional light snow, and in February, there was not a drop of rain in a month, and there was a light rain in Shenjing in the afternoon.

"Shameless villain!" Shui Rong grabbed the inkstone on the bookcase and slammed it to the ground!

The inkstone is splashed in pieces!

The housekeeper standing by the bookcase was stunned.

After a moment of silence, Shui Rong spoke: "Want to be a fisherman?" Then, he slapped the book case: "He's just wishful thinking!" If you don't make a effort, you still want to blackmail this king! It's outrageous! ”

Then, his eyes turned to the chief of the guard, and he said angrily, "You are so bad! What a heart! ”

The chief guard knelt down, his voice trembling a little: "The slave is a capital crime!" Unexpectedly, Zhu Dakang was so disrespectful that he actually ambushed people in the palace, and as soon as the slave entered, they controlled him, and the letter fell into his hands. It's okay for the prince to blame me, to punish me, even if he kills me. But the top priority is to leave Shenjing, and Zhu Dakang, a villain, can do anything! ”

Shui Rong was so angry that his face turned white, he didn't expect Zhu Dakang to go back on his word, not only did he not fulfill his promise, but snatched his own handwritten letter from the head of the guard, and used it to blackmail himself, let himself obey his instructions, he wanted to be a fisherman!

The housekeeper spoke: "Lord Wang, let's go." ”

Shui Rong smiled bitterly: "I may not be able to come back for the rest of my life, but it's a pity that the reputation of the King of Beijing, as well as the property of the Shui clan, has cheapened the emperor for nothing....."

The head of the guard hesitated for a moment, and then raised his head: "The slave will not accompany the prince to the south." ”

Shui Rong and the butler looked at each other for a moment, and then looked at the chief guard together.

The chief of the guard stood up and said directly: "Since Zhu Dakang wants to be a fisherman, why not take the opportunity to make things bigger." Now that the prince has left Beijing ahead of schedule, someone needs to command here, and the slave is willing to stay to fulfill the prince's wish. ”

Shui Rong couldn't help but be moved: "Oh? ”

Chief of the guard: "Control Sun Shaozu, attack the military camp at night, attract the forbidden army in the palace to come to the rescue, and create opportunities for Zhu Dakang." ”

Shui Rong was moved by what he said, then shook his head and said, "Jia Jue is a general who rolled out of the battlefield, not a group of wastes from the forbidden army. It is that the soldiers of the camp at the foot of the mountain have been slaughtered, and there will not be a single soldier coming out of the Tianshou Mountain Palace before dawn. ”

After a pause, "Don't even think about driving those forbidden troops to storm the palace, Jia Jue will not hesitate to order them to be shot...... Not? This is an opportunity! ”

The chief guard was excited, "Those explosives packs will come in handy..... I wonder how Jia Jue will feel?! ”

Shui Rong: "Okay, this matter will be handed over to you to deal with, I will leave you another fifty good players, find a way to get out, we will wait for you in Jinling." ”

Hearing this, the chief of the guard hurriedly knelt down: "Slave thank the prince for his grace!" After speaking, he kowtowed again and again. Half an hour later, a tightly covered carriage stopped at the back door of the Beijing Palace.

The little door slowly opened, and the cloak of water dissolved out, and crept into the carriage under the waiter of the butler.

With a wave of the butler's hand, the carriage slowly started, and the butler looked around, then turned over and got on his horse and followed the carriage from a distance.

...........

"Liaodong 600 miles urgent military report!"

The envoy jumped down from his sweaty horse and handed the baggage containing the military newspaper to the hand of the great eunuch on duty at the noon gate.

The big eunuch took the burden and turned around and ran towards Wenyuan Pavilion.

..........

In the cabinet room, the military newspaper was already on the bookcase.

Han Jun was so angry that he shook his head and neck, and said again and again: "How can this be? How so? ”

Zhang Jiacheng couldn't help but sigh: "In just one day, the Korean royal city was attacked, and the Jurchens' combat power should not be underestimated!" ”

Chen Ruiwen smiled bitterly: "I still underestimated them, but I didn't expect them to dare to directly attack Gyeonggi Province and capture Wangjing." The military department's deduction is about to re-examine the combat power of the Jurchens. ”

Niu Jizong: "Actually, it is also expected, Jin Zhixiu's recital mentioned that after several natural disasters, coupled with the cruel exploitation of the Li family and the family, Gyeonggi Province is already ten rooms and nine empty, and Wang Jingnei has no prosperity in the past, and there are no people, so he can count on those old soldiers, and he can't hold it at all." ”

Speaking of this, he stood up, looked at the military report again, and continued: "At two o'clock, there is still an unknown number of Jurchens living in the northeast of Korea. What's more, the Korean royal family and family have already crossed the sea to Daming on the way to Daming, so let's think about how to deal with it. ”

Wang Shaoguang: "Do you still have to consider this?" Of course, it is to take it directly. Li Wei has committed a total of 72 crimes, including bullying the king, trespassing, great disrespect, and intent to rebel, etc., which are not exaggerated to punish the three clans. ”

Ding Yuanzhu: "I'm afraid this is not good. ”

Liu Wenbin spoke, "This matter is not trivial, not only about the face of the imperial court, but also about the holy name of His Majesty. Therefore, we can't be in a hurry, and after they go ashore, they will be sent to Beijing immediately, and let Jin Zhixiu come forward to contact those families to fold together, and then there will be a joint trial by the three legal divisions, and the world will be issued after being convicted. ”

Chen Ruiwen also stood up: "The three clans of Li Rui must be eliminated!" ”

Liu Wenbin thought for a while: "Yes." ”

Chen Ruiwen smiled and nodded with satisfaction.

..........

The sky is just dark, the moon is white, sprinkled into the lush mountains and mausoleums will be hazy, the palace of the Emperor of God is silent, only a few lanterns outside the Feng'an Hall are blown by the night wind.

The side hall is brightly lit.

Zhu Dakang, the king of Yizhong County, sat down at the small round table, opposite Luo Yinghe, who was in the dust.

A little eunuch took out four plates of dishes and a pot of wine from the food box and put them on the table, and then withdrew.

Luo Yinghe poured Zhu Dakang full of wine, and then poured himself full of wine and held it with both hands.

Zhu Dakang also raised his glass: "I have worked hard for you this year, I respect you for this glass of wine." With that, he took a sip of the wine in his glass.

Luo Yinghe silently drank the wine.

Zhu Dakang picked up the wine jug and poured it for Luo Yinghe first, then filled it for himself, and raised it with both hands: "There are also those palace guards who are loyal to my father and died for me, I respect them with this cup of wine." "One sip and another drink. Luo Yinghe still didn't say anything, picked up the wine glass and drank.

Zhu Dakang leaned back in the chair: "Let's go." ”

"Why?"

"To save your lives."

Luo Yinghe: "Oh? ”

"There is news from Shenjing, the Marquis of Zhongwu led a thousand cavalry of the Ruishi battalion to personally guard Zhuwu City, these people are elites, and they also carry self-generated firearms, just those two crossbow arrows are useless."

After speaking, Zhu Dakang took the chopsticks and said while eating: "Zhu Wucheng has long suspected me, but I haven't found evidence, you have been in Juyong for too long, and it is inevitable that you will fall into the eyes of people with intentions."

This time Gyeonggi was hit by a catastrophe, so you took the opportunity to sneak down and secretly accumulate strength. This year, I will keep a vigil here with peace of mind and let Zhu Wucheng relax his vigilance. Don't worry, everyone knows that the first emperor left an edict on his deathbed, and he didn't dare to make a move on me. ”

Luo Yinghe hesitated for a moment and said, "Shui Rong is right, this may really be the last chance." After the expiration of the one-year period, Zhu Wucheng would definitely not allow the prince to return to the imperial city. Without the protection of the Empress Dowager, what awaits you is strict surveillance, which is house arrest in disguise. ”

Zhu Dakang smiled: "As the old saying goes, if you stay in the green mountains, you are not afraid of no firewood." ”

Luo Yinghe looked straight at him.

Zhu Dakang continued: "You should have heard about the Jia family, as long as Jia Guifei gives birth to a prince, there will be a split in the court, don't look at the few civil officials now, they will not be able to help them at that time." This battle for succession is more cruel than that of previous dynasties, and for the sake of the overall situation, Zhu Wucheng will personally end up. I'm still young, and I have time to wait. With that, he put down his chopsticks, pulled the letter out of his sleeve and handed it to him.

Seeing that Luo Yinghe was stunned, Zhu Dakang smiled and said, "If Shui Rong attacks the palace, you will scatter this letter." ”

Luo Yinghe's eyes flashed with a hint of relief, then sighed again, took a drink from the wine glass, and said: "It's a pity, if we can have more manpower, even if there are more than fifty good players, not to mention killing the emperor, it is okay to kill a few ministers." ”

After a pause, "If you leave a few people behind, if you have the opportunity, give the Dog Emperor such a visit, even if it doesn't work, you can relieve your anger." ”

Hearing him say this, Zhu Dakang leaned back in his chair and thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Just leave the two of you to control the crossbow arrows, and all the others will withdraw overnight, and the emperor will come tomorrow." ”

Luo Yinghe seemed to remember something, and immediately bent down to lift a burden from his side, and the burden was bulging and round.

Zhu Dakang: "What is it?" ”

Putting the burden solemnly on the table, Luo Yinghe went to untie the knot on the burden and said, "Earthquake thunder!" ”

Zhu Dakang stood up suddenly, brushed Luo Yinghe's hand away, untied the burden, revealing a heaven-shattering thunder, and asked in a low voice, "Where did you get it?" ”

"We built it ourselves, and the gunpowder in it was extracted from firecrackers, and it was not very powerful, but if it exploded in the room, it was enough to kill the emperor!"

Zhu Dakang's eyes flashed: "Okay! ”

The back of the hall was dark and empty, unusually silent, a little eunuch was lying by the window eavesdropping, shocked when he heard this, thought about it, and quietly left.

At this time, two black shadows followed along the root of the wall, and as soon as they turned the corner, two men in black immediately ran up, one grabbed the little eunuch's wrists, and the other held his head and neck and twisted.

The little eunuch didn't snort, his eyes burst out, and he died.

The two men in black carried the corpse of the little eunuch and disappeared into the night along the root of the wall.

The eunuch in charge of the imperial tomb led two men out of the doorway on the side of the hall.
