After reading it, Wang Kun handed it to Chen Xi and said, "Calculate the steps, Your Highness has probably returned to Suguo at this time, and ask Gonggong Chen to inform his subordinates of the content of this edict in advance."

Chen Xi did not answer directly, but after reading the content of the edict, he agreed: "Yes, I will send someone to inform the prefecture and county branches, and the news will definitely be transmitted."

However, because he didn't know where he would intercept Li Hao, the original was not sent directly, but Chen Xi copied several copies by himself, so that they could be sent to many prefectures and counties in the north.

As for the letter of the Son of Heaven with the edict, it should have been kept by Chen Xi, after all, he was the one who best represented Li Hao's will.

It's a pity that based on Chen Xi's audacity before, Wang Kun, who now came with Li Hao's order, has obviously become the leader, and this jade seal was preserved by himself first.

Although Chen Xi saw it in his eyes, he couldn't say anything more.

When Chen Xi was busy transcribing the edict, Gongyegu asked Wang Kun, "Now that the soldiers and horses have been prepared, and it just so happens that His Majesty's edict has also arrived, is it possible to send troops?"

Wang Kun raised his head, looked in the direction of the imperial city from a distance, and said, "You also said that it is just about the same, so how can it be done, such a major event to save the driver must be foolproof.

And since His Majesty is going to abdicate smoothly, there must always be some disturbance in this city, otherwise how can I shut up those courtiers."

Gong Yegu also understood this truth, but he was still a little worried: "Then what if the palace is breached, there are so many guards in the palace, and Your Highness will let us guarantee the safety of Your Majesty and Niangniang."

Wang Kun replied: "Don't worry, with Wang Qin in the palace, Zheng Zhuo and them are not so easy to enter the palace, and when it comes to the critical moment, Wang Qin will take His Majesty and Niangniang out of the palace, and we can respond in time."

When Gongyegu heard this, he also understood that the Wang brothers had already discussed it.

Then I will be obedient and obedient, anyway, something really went wrong, and the biggest pot is also the person who came up with this idea.

The three of them waited in the tent for more than half an hour, and the edict written by Chen Xi had already been sent out through Jinyiwei at this time.

Outside the tent, a soldier came to report: "All the troops and horses have been assembled, and they can go."

Hearing this, Gongyegu first glanced at Wang Kun, and when he saw Wang Kun nodding, he opened his mouth to summon the generals to come.

This time, with the edict in hand, Gongyegu directly took everyone to circulate it, so that they could completely put aside their worries, and then began to arrange tasks for them one by one.

There are a total of nine gates on all sides of the capital, and the forbidden army outside the city has sufficient troops, and the number of rebels is insufficient, so Gongyegu plans to surround it on all sides.

After assigning the city gates for each corresponding attack, a large number of forbidden troops began to step out of the camp in a mighty manner.

Gongyegu left himself the Baokang Gate on the east side, and the forbidden army camp was originally in the east of the capital, which was the closest gate to the camp, and it was also the place where Zheng Zhuo and them entered the city before, so Gongyegu was also the first to arrive under the city wall.

There are 10,000 people, boundless and boundless, and the soldiers and horses of the headquarters led by Gongye Gu are naturally more than 10,000.

Looking at the borderless soldiers and horses approaching outside the city, Cen Fa, who had come to Baokang Gate to supervise the battle, and Qiu Dongxing, who led the troops, were also full of complexity.

Cen Fa had no experience in leading troops to fight, and he was very uncertain, so he asked Qiu Dongxing next to him, "Why did the forbidden army come so quickly, do you think we can hold it?"

Looking at the banner of Gongyegu below, Qiu Dongxing said in a heavy tone: "Since Gongyegu has already sent troops, presumably there will be soldiers and horses arriving one after another at the rest of the city gates.

The walls of this capital city are towering, and it is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the soldiers and horses in our hands are not enough to share, and we will definitely not be able to defend it.

The only good thing is that Gongyegu and they came in a hurry, and most of them didn't have many siege weapons, so they could barely resist for a while.

Lord Cen, please send someone to inform Lord Zheng immediately, you must break through the palace as soon as possible, so that we still have a chance to survive, otherwise once the forbidden army breaks through the city first, we will be all finished."

As for letting Zheng Zhuo send troops

Qiu Dongxing didn't think about the matter of coming to support, after all, even if he sent all the people, what could he do, the number was still much worse than the forbidden army outside the city, and it was better to continue to attack the palace.

Hearing Qiu Dongxing's words, which were related to his own net worth and life, Cen Fa immediately nodded and said, "I'll send someone to inform Zheng Zhuo, and I can only leave it to General Qiu here."

After the two discussed it, Qiu Dongxing still didn't plan to do it directly, but wanted to delay the time, after all, for him now, the longer the time can be delayed, the better.

Moreover, Qiu Dongxing believes that the beginning and end of this matter is at most known to the generals of the unified army above.

Most of the soldiers below are acting according to orders, and the righteousness on this side can still be contested.

Qiu Dongxing didn't know about the edict, so he sent one of his soldiers and shouted loudly at the head of the city: "The city is General Gongye, what are you going to do when you raise troops to come to the foot of the capital late at night, could it be that you want to rebel."

Gongyegu heard this under the city, and replied by name: "Qiu Dongxing, I'm afraid it's not me who wants to rebel, since you dare to do it, don't you dare to come out, and let a small soldier help you spread the word, it's a shame."

Qiu Dongxing never thought that Gongyegu would directly call him by name when he opened his mouth, obviously he was not ignorant of this uprising.

Since he was named, Qiu Dongxing knew that it was useless to hide, so he came directly to the city: "Gongyegu, privately transferring troops is a felony to kill the head, and even his own son is quite jealous today.

Do you think that after today's events, will he care about your life-saving grace, or will he be afraid of your heavy army?

If you want me to say, you might as well retire from the army, and when the third prince ascends the throne, I will definitely report your merits to the third prince and let you be the marquis and pay homage to the prime minister."

Gong Yegu laughed when he heard this: "You protect me, this is really a big joke, do you think you deserve it!" And who told you that I have no edict?"

Speaking of the edict of the general Gongye Gu, he held it high together with the tiger talisman, and said, "Your Majesty gave me the edict and the tiger talisman, and ordered me to raise troops to clear up the rebellion.

Now I give you a chance, as long as you obediently open the gates of the city and surrender, then I will intercede for you, and this matter will only be punished."

The walls of the capital are about five zhang high, and this is a big black sky, although there are torches next to Gongyegu, but the tiger charm is so small that you can't see clearly when you stand on it.

I could only vaguely see that there was something on a bright cloth.

But even so, Qiu Dongxing looked at Gongyegu's posture and subconsciously felt that most of this thing was real.

It's just that he couldn't admit it, so he mocked: "What kind of edict and tiger talisman, you just find something to deceive your own soldiers, even if you dare to lie to me, you have the ability to bring this thing up for me to check."

If it is true, I will immediately open the gates of the city and let you in."

Faced with Qiu Dongxing's request, Gong Yegu sneered: "You thief has a lot of thoughts, and you still want to deceive my tiger talisman, do you think I'm as stupid as you?

And you can't see the tiger talisman clearly, this Your Majesty's dragon robe can always be recognized, my edict is written by Your Majesty with fragments of the dragon robe, do you want to open your eyes and recognize it well."

Qiu Dongxing retorted: "The craftsmanship in this palace is not only for Your Majesty, but there are also many people in the East Palace who know this craft.

I know now, it must be the crown prince who wants to usurp the throne, you chaotic ministers and thieves, you have turned your back on Your Majesty for the sake of temporary wealth."

Hearing that this guy was pouring dirty water on his head, Gongyegu immediately prepared to refute it.

As a result, Wang Kun, who was beside Gongyegu, couldn't look at it, and said, "Okay, you don't want to fight with him here, now you still have to act."

But remember to keep the pace in check, and don't overdo it all at once."

Gong Yegu thought about it for a while, and simply said, "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince is something you can slander, wash your neck now and wait for death."

Then Gong Yegu and Wang Kun retreated so that the siege troops could transport the ladder up.

Seeing this posture, Qiu Dongxing knew that he was going to move Zhenge next, and immediately got his subordinates to start preparing.

It's just that on this, both sides are actually not fully prepared, and the number of ladders in Gongyegu is not enough, and there are only a dozen ladders in tens of thousands of troops.

And Qiu Dongxing is also, there is no gold juice, wood, and rolling stones used to defend the city, only arrows that have been prepared in advance and are convenient to carry with him, which is destined to be piled up by people on both sides.

As the ladder reached the city wall, the frontal battle between the two sides officially began.

Wang Kun, who saw this scene, also took out a signal flare from his arms and launched it towards the sky, exploding a loud noise and a burst of strong light in the air, resounding throughout the capital.

Seeing this, Gongye Gu cast a puzzled look at Wang Kun.

Wang Kun introduced: "This is a signal from me and Wang Qin, informing him that the siege has begun outside the city, so that he can prepare there."

Such a big movement, Wang Qin, who was at the head of Donghua Gate City and personally commanded the offensive and defensive battles of the Imperial City, naturally did not fail to notice it.

Immediately, he immediately summoned his deputy commander and said, "You go to your Majesty, and say that the forbidden army outside the city has raised troops to attack Baokangmen, please come here with Your Majesty and Niangniang."

After receiving the order, his subordinates immediately went to Jingxiang Palace and told Cui Ming and Wang Yi the good news.

It's just that Cui Ming heard that he was going to Donghua Gate, and asked suspiciously, "Why did you let us go to Donghua Gate, could it be that the situation has changed."

The deputy commander said, "Although the forbidden army outside the city has arrived, the forbidden army camp is generally not equipped with siege equipment, and they only have some simple ladders to use at most.

The walls of the capital were high and strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it would take them some time to get in.

And the situation on the imperial city side is not very good, so the commander is ready, if the palace is really unable to hold out here, he will escort His Royal Highness and Niangniang to rush out, and then deal with the enemy army in the city.

After all, the city is relatively large, and it extends in all directions, and the enemy is now divided into four routes, except for the pursuit of troops along the Donghua Gate, if you want to chase after you, you need to pass through the palace.

This will not only gain time, but also the wealth of the palace is endless, and those soldiers are really going to enter the palace, but I am afraid that Zheng Zhuo may not be able to command it easily."

When Cui Ming heard this, he understood that it was common to abandon gold and silver treasures to hold back the enemy's soldiers and horses in recent years, and most of them could be successful.

After all, the people who have been big soldiers in these years are not rich and noble, and when they see the boundless wealth in the palace, there will be geometry for those who can endure it.

It's just that Cui Ming doesn't want to, how can his dignified Emperor Dasu do the thing of abandoning the city and fleeing.

And he was a little unbearable in his heart, because it was not only a matter of money, but also so many people in this palace.

You must know that robbery is not only robbery, but also robbery, there are so many concubines and palace maids in the palace, if you let these soldiers in, you don't have to think about the consequences.

Seeing Cui Ming's hesitation, the deputy commander said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, in fact, the commander is just taking precautions, and the minister remembers that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once said a word.

If people lose land, people and land will survive; If the land is lost, the people and the land are lost. Even if the rebels are allowed to enter the palace for a short time, they will not stay long, and when the forbidden army outside the city arrives, they will be able to calm down."

Cui Ming was moved by these words, and felt that his life was indeed more important.

Immediately said, "Okay, then I and the queen will go to Donghua Gate, but it's not just us, you take someone to pick up Concubine Qi and Concubine Su, and they will go with us."

Cui Ming can ignore these other people, but his concubine still has to be brought, and he doesn't want others to cuckold his head.

Wang Yi listened to the conversation between the two at this time, and still vaguely felt that this was wrong, but considering that this was a word sent by his younger brother, he didn't refute it again.

It wasn't until he heard that Cui Ming was not going to take Zheng Guifei and them that he said loudly, "Then what about Zheng Guifei and them?"

Cui Ming paused for a moment and said, "Neijian Hu, you lead people to find a secret place, a place that is not easy to be discovered, hide them, and then you come back to me."

But Hu Neijian said, "Your Majesty takes care of yourself

The safety is good, don't worry about the slaves and maids, there are many hidden places in this palace around the palace, and outsiders can't find out for a while.

The slaves and maids stayed behind and helped His Majesty look after the palace."

Cui Ming has always been served by Hu Neijian, and he is really not used to being by his side, so he naturally really doesn't want him to be in danger, and wants to persuade him again.

But Hu Neijian said: "This Lord Zuo didn't say it just now, these rebels won't stay in the palace for long, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about the slaves."

Seeing that Hu Neijian was a dead eye, Cui Ming didn't persuade him again, but just advised: "You must be careful, I am still the most comfortable person you have served all these years, and I don't want to change people yet."

Hu Neijian replied with a smile: "With the protection of Your Majesty, the cheap life of the slave and maid is still long."

Then Hu Neijian took the eunuchs and carried Zheng Guifei and the others away.

And Cui Ming waited here for a while, waited for Concubine Qi and them, and then took them to Donghua Gate to meet Wang Qin.
