Chapter 132: Rebellion, Heavy Snow
Today's heavy snow has entered the cold winter!
The entire capital is covered with a layer of snow.
Everything is very silent under the heavy snow!
But in a place on the outskirts, a large number of soldiers and horses gathered, and the iron horse Jingo, the heavy snow, but a sign of restlessness began to be restless.
Situ Leiden was wearing a big hat, stepping on the snow, his face was grim, but there was a look of displeasure in his eyes, and then he stood on the high platform and looked at the iron horse below.
He said in a deep voice:
"Everyone, you have followed the prime minister for decades, and listened to orders, now that the Ming Dynasty has fallen, the remaining forces are not more than Erer..."
"Are you willing to be the same as you are, point your sword at the palace, and change the dynasty?!"
Jin Ge below.
Draw their swords together, and a sword roar shocks the cold snow!
…
The sudden outbreak of hustle and bustle in the early morning came out from the snow curtain of heaven and earth, breaking the whitewashed tranquility.
The news of the mutiny in the capital spread throughout the city at a galloping speed.
Up to the imperial court.
The anxious faces of the people were as pale as paper, and the stampedes on the streets of the people occurred from time to time.
Panic in my heart!
And in the royal palace, the Taihe Palace.
The minister and some powerful people of the family were very anxious, but they could only wait for His Majesty to go to court, like ants on a hot pot.
Nervousness and uneasiness from the bottom of my heart!
There are half fewer ministers, and there are many fewer powerful people in the family than in the past.
Now above the main hall, all the people who left the Situ Leiden faction are standing here, and the current situation in the Ming Dynasty is also Situ Leiden's mutiny.
They felt a kind of uneasiness that they had never felt before, and life and death may have been in the past few days.
"Lord Zuo, why hasn't Your Majesty gone to court yet?"
Geng Siqing is also among them.
He didn't speak for a while, because he knew very well why His Majesty didn't go to court on time, he was not in a hurry, and he was not uneasy, and in the face of the minister's inquiry, he also comforted: "Don't worry, Your Majesty should come or will come..."
Ling Taishi asked, "Geng Xiang, Situ Leiden mutinied, and now that the people are restless, don't we need to send people to protect and evacuate?"
"Taishi knows that outside the capital, there is also an ancient gate of the northern city, named: Broken Hengmen!"
Geng Siqing said.
Many ministers are puzzled.
Ling Taishi was puzzled, he knew that this broken Heng Gate had existed since before the Ming Dynasty was built, although it was of historical significance, but this city wall was old and had not been renovated for many years.
"What does Geng Xiang mean when he mentions the Broken Heng Gate?"
Geng Siqing said lightly, "If you want to enter the Dragon Gate, you need to pass through the Xuanheng!"
…
Meanwhile.
In the Qianqing Palace.
Geng Liqiu also said such a sentence to His Majesty, they opened a game of chess, played for a few hours, and before the chess was over, they did not go to court.
Just the two of them in the temple!
Hearing Geng Liqiu say this, His Majesty's somewhat solemn brows were tightly locked, and then he said, "Why did Liqiu mention the Broken Heng Gate, could it be that Situ Leiden sent troops into Beijing and needed to pass the Broken Heng?"
Got under a son.
He holds black and His Majesty white.
After this chess move, the corners of Geng Liqiu's mouth tilted slightly, and he said, "Your Majesty, do you know what my chess skills are?"
His Majesty shook his head.
Looking at the chessboard deeply, he knew that Geng Liqiu was superb in chess, and even played this game of chess with him in the early morning, although he knew the time of the last dynasty, but he still chose to finish this game of chess with Liqiu and then go to the court.
It's because he knows that the capital is a chess.
The beginning of autumn can be solved!
"This is...... Dragons stop dogs!" When Geng Liqiu said this, it did not make His Majesty angry, and His Majesty asked solemnly, "You mean, the Broken Heng Gate is the first level for me to stop Situ Leiden?"
"No, that's it
levels." Geng Liqiu said calmly: "Broken Heng is dilapidated, it has been a long time, even ordinary people can break this door..."
"However, Broken Heng symbolizes the Dragon Gate and symbolizes the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Situ Leiden knows very well that if he wants to overthrow the dynasty and change the dynasty, he must go through the outer gate of the Dragon City, because at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Duan Heng was there, and this was a door of life and death between him and His Majesty!" Z.br>
"So what should I do?" His Majesty asked humbly.
"The dragon stops the dog, cut off the dog's head!" Geng Liqiu's eyes were cold, and he said sharply: "Break Heng here, let him die!"
When he said this, he felt a chill!
Fall again!
And this one, however, handed over the game to white.
Hear these words.
See this game of chess.
After His Majesty fell into deep thought, he thought for a moment, then looked up at Geng Liqiu, and then said lightly, "You can obviously win this game, why did you fall this one?" And this one, I can win with just one move!"
Geng Liqiu's face was expressionless.
Then the hall was quiet for a moment.
Finally, he spoke, "This game of chess is a game of life and death, not between the minister and His Majesty, but between His Majesty and Situ Leiden!"
"What do you mean?"
His Majesty said.
Geng Liqiu said, "Because of the minister, there is no second heart. Your Majesty does not have to test the loyalty of his ministers with chess!"
When Geng Liqiu finished saying this, His Majesty was stunned for a moment.
Then he stood up, helped Geng Liqiu up, and laughed: "Liqiu is my Great Ming King Jing, how can I have different intentions, King Jing don't have to think too much, this game of chess, let me end it!"
He picked up the white chess piece casually.
On that chessboard, the most crucial one fell.
The game suddenly turned.
Black loses!
Lost!
"Go to court! Change!" Your Majesty's Great Joy.
Then Geng Liqiu glanced at the chessboard, and there was no room for the sunspot to be saved.
He looked at His Majesty and muttered to himself, "Your Majesty, the minister will start the game for you, as for this chess, whether you can win or not depends on you!"
In fact.
This game of chess is not Geng Liqiu's chess.
And his real game of chess.
The opponent was not Stuart Leiden.
…
His Majesty went to court.
The minister suddenly had a backbone.
"Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"
The Chancellor paid a visit to His Majesty.
"Let's be even!"
His Majesty told them to get up.
Geng Liqiu also got up and was next to his father, while Geng Siqing glanced at his son, who also nodded lightly to him, and waited until His Majesty gave the order.
Your Majesty on the dragon chair.
waved his sleeves and mentioned, "I, I played a game of chess with Geng Aiqing!"
The minister also glanced at Master Geng.
Among them, Tang Qiye, Li Xinchen, Han Sheng, General Wang Nian, General Chongyang, and Ling Taishi...... Quite a few ministers, magnates.
Geng Liqiu also smiled at them politely.
Li Xinji's gaze stayed a little longer, and then the father's gaze next to him was also a little complicated, but in the end, he didn't show too much.
However, the minister was in a hurry, so he did not care about His Majesty's chess game with Master Geng to delay the court, but reported the matter of Situ Leiden's mutiny.
His Majesty also heard this, his face sank for a moment, and then said, "I already know about this!"
Just as the minister was about to discuss countermeasures with His Majesty, His Majesty's next sentence was to say, "I have prepared countermeasures."
His Majesty ordered to go down, and when the minister heard the broken door from His Majesty's mouth, his eyes couldn't help but move to the Geng family father and son again.
Geng Siqing stepped forward and said, "This is the decision made by the minister and the dog after careful consideration, over the years, the minister and Situ Leiden have been playing against each other for many years, his character and ambition, the minister is very clear..."
"The ambition is obvious, and there is no need to say more. What the minister wants to say is that if Situ Leiden wants to enter Beijing, he will enter through the Broken Heng Gate!"
Ling Taishi questioned it, and it was also the minister's puzzlement, and said, "The Broken Heng mentioned by Prime Minister Geng also mentioned that Situ Leiden will definitely enter from the Broken Heng, and this is ...... Why?"
"I'll explain!" Geng Liqiu stepped forward and said for his father.
When he told everyone why he was doing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
"I see!"
"Broken Heng is indeed a symbol of the Ming Dynasty, but also represents the royal power and the people's heart, Broken Heng symbolizes the rise and fall of a country, if Situ Leiden enters the city gate from Broken Heng, as long as he steps on the level, the Ming Dynasty's qi will be exhausted!"
All of them also knew why His Majesty had ordered him to swear to protect the Gate.
Whether it is the people of the capital or the people of the world.
If Your Majesty can't keep this broken gate.
That the Ming Dynasty......
Maybe it's time to put an end to it!
Hearing this, the ministers immediately requested that they were willing to protect the mountains and rivers for the Ming Dynasty and defend the territory.
This time aroused the patriotic feelings of all the ministers and soldiers of the Taihe Palace.
As the so-called:
The sun and the moon shine, the mountains and rivers go, all for my soil!
But if there is a crime, although it is strong, it will be punished!
His Majesty was pleased with such a scene.
Then he shouted "yes", and ordered the escort army and the Ming army to go to the Broken Heng Gate.
"General Wang Nian listens to orders!"
"Listen to orders!"
Wang Nian obeyed.
"You lead a large army to the Broken Heng Gate, fight the rebels, and punish the rebels!"
"Your Ministers obey!"
"General Chongyang obeys orders!"
"I order you to take charge of the Praetorian Guard, guard the capital, and protect the people!"
"Obey!"
「……」
His Majesty ordered one by one.
All the ministers and soldiers began to act.
"Zuo Xiang, you and Liqiu will go to the Broken Heng Gate with me, command the soldiers, and let this rebel minister fall in the Broken Heng together."
Geng Liqiu and his father received the order.
The imperial court ordered!
The army in the capital is ready to go, ready to set off at any time.
The people of the capital.
Seeing that there was movement in the imperial court, it also settled down.
They also got the news that His Majesty had decided to personally settle the anti-minister Situ Leiden in the Broken Heng Gate, so they completely relaxed their hearts.
At least for a short time, the anti-minister army will not enter Beijing
And the security of the capital is also guarded by the famous Chongyang General with three inner and outer three layers.
It also reassures the people.
…
Meanwhile.
Northland Dragon Snow City, out of the city for three days.
Thousands of miles all the way to the horse, a team of snow armor rode like stepping on snow, led by a woman dressed in red, holding the reins tightly, and looking in the direction of the capital.
Due to a few days of rushing.
The woman fell straight off her horse, injuring her arms and knees.
When Xue Hanshan saw Miss like this, he immediately grabbed her, "Miss, even if you are in a hurry, you have to consider your body, you haven't had a good rest for several days when you came out of Dragon Snow City, and you don't know how many times you have fallen off your horse in the past few days..."
There was also worry in his eyes, and Xue Jiaqi also said, "Yes, Miss, your body can't stand it!"
But.
Ling Qianxue pushed them away and said a little anxiously.
"Now, there is news in the capital that Situ Leiden has mutinied, and the soldiers are about to break off Hengcheng, if I rest, I will definitely not be able to catch up!"
Her eyes were slightly wet, and she was not crying sadly, but she was a little too anxious.
Stuart Leiden staged a mutiny.
The husband will definitely be on the front line, and if she can arrive a day earlier, the pressure on the husband will be less
on some.
For the stubbornness of the young lady.
Xue Hanshan had no choice but to dissuade her, so he had to let her go, but he still said, "Miss, although I don't know why this person you are working for is worth your dedication, but my subordinates still hope that Miss can let the military doctor treat your injuries first?"
She was indeed a little anxious, but reason still told her that she could not fall before she arrived in the capital.
So nodded.
Answered them.
It's just that her eyes are still looking anxiously in the direction of the capital, she clenched her small hands, and said firmly:
"Husband, Qianxue is a little more away from you, wait for me to come back!"
