From the beginning of King Yan's army, in less than five days, Zhang Xie and the two were killed, and the news of King Yan's rebellion has reached Beijing, but the worse news is that in the provinces and prefectures around Beiping, within three days, nearly 200 civil officials and officials fled to the four places.

The generals directly surrendered to King Yan, and many civil officials neither surrendered nor returned to Beijing, but actually fled in all directions, and at the same time transmitted the news of King Yan's rebellion to all directions of the Ming Dynasty.

In the early morning of 12 July, before dawn was complete, a large number of officials had already gathered in front of the Donghua Gate from all over the Beijing Division.

At this time, the city gate was closed, and there was an aura of slaughter in the air.

All kinds of officials are around, you look at me, I look at you, many people have extremely ugly faces, and some people have gloating looks.

Everyone was waiting to open the city gates, waiting to go to court.

But this will not be the time of the court, not long after, suddenly a eunuch appeared in the city, and said loudly to everyone: "There is a decree in the saint, today the ministers will rest for a day, and the three grades and below will temporarily return to the house." ”

The ministers outside Donghua Gate were in an uproar, and all of them were on holiday? I won't go to court today, you said earlier, is it easy for everyone to get up in the middle of the night and rush here from all directions?

Some people turned around and left, while others watched each other.

The eunuch at the head of the city tried to look down at this time, and his tone became kind: "Lord Huang, Lord Qi, Lord Fang? ”

Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and Fang Xiaoru in the crowd hurriedly rushed over.

A hanging basket was soon put down at the head of the city, and the three of them were pulled in first.

Huang Zicheng's body shook a little after he landed, as if his legs were weak, but the eunuch Wang Yue hurriedly helped him to stabilize him.

The three of them silently followed Wang Yue down the city tower and walked quickly to the Wuying Palace.

Huang Zicheng is still a little floating when he walks, obviously with a weak heart.

At the beginning, it was he who advocated letting the three of Yan Wang's sons go, but after the three of them went back, Yan Wang immediately reversed, and Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Gaoyang County, was really brave, I heard that the hammer he used weighed 1,000 catties, and a hammer could kill more than 100 people, and it only took ten hammers to scatter Yu Yao's thousands of troops and flee.

He turned around while thinking about it, and happened to see that Qi Tai's face was also not good-looking.

"Qi Butang -----," Huang Zicheng whispered a few times.

He is usually either called Qi Shangshu or Master Qi, and his tone is much better.

Qi Tai was in a hurry, thinking about his thoughts, but Fang Xiaoru touched him, and he came back to his senses and heard Huang Zicheng screaming.

"Huh?" Qi Tai turned his head unhappily, with a look of hatred on his face, it was obvious that he was also thinking about the escape of the three princes now.

"How to --- in a while" Huang Zicheng didn't know what he wanted to say, what he cared about most was falling out of favor in front of the emperor, after all, in his opinion, although King Yan was reversed, it was not a big deal, the Ming Dynasty had millions of soldiers and horses, and there were countless generals, and it was still very easy to rehabilitate a King Yan.

"Song Zhong is afraid that he won't be able to resist for long, in terms of commanding troops to fight, he is far inferior to King Yan, not to mention that King Yan's subordinates are all capable of recruiting and fighting well."

Song Zhong was born as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and it is still okay to do criminal investigation, but it is definitely not possible to fight.

"When the commander is selected as soon as possible, the army should be dispatched." Huang Zicheng also suddenly realized.

"Lord Huang, don't fight with me anymore." Qi Tai said earnestly: "When the chaos is quelled as soon as possible, the longer it takes, the more unfavorable it will be to the imperial court." ”

Huang Weicheng kept silent, knowing what Qi Tai meant, if he wanted to move troops, the coach let Qi Tai choose.

Past facts have proved that the Zhang Xin he chose was completely inferior to Xie Gui selected by Qi Tai.

In fact, in terms of ability, Zhang Xin is much stronger than Xie Gui, but unfortunately Zhang Xin is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he is really sorry for Huang Zicheng's trust.

But Huang Zicheng is very unwilling, why do you want to prove that you are better than me?

"Do you have to fight each other? Do you have to use force to solve the problem? Fang Xiaoru in the back said suddenly.

Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai glared at him at the same time, ignoring him.

In fact, at the beginning of the establishment of the text, Fang Xiaoru was very disagreeable with solving the problem by force, and later changed his position with the rise of King Yan's army.

The three of them had their own hearts, and after a while, they entered the Wuying Palace.

Candles were lit in the Wuying Palace, and the young emperor Zhu Yunwen sat on the throne with a sad face.

The three of them hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects.

This time, Zhu Yunwen didn't let them sit down, but he didn't have the heart to think about these things.

"Let's be flat." He said lightly, then let out a long sigh.

has only been the emperor for more than a year, and he actually forced the fourth uncle to rebel, and Zhu Yunwen didn't want to accept it in his heart, did I really do anything?

"Holy Lord, Weichen, please play." Qi Tai immediately said.

"Qi Shangshu, you say."

"Song Zhong does not have enough soldiers and horses, and most of them are the old troops of King Yan, so he should mobilize troops and horses as soon as possible, appoint a good commander, and take advantage of Yan's unstable foothold to encircle and annihilate near Beiping."

Zhu Yunwen nodded, just about to speak.

"Holy Lord, the minister has his own music."

"Mr. Huang, please speak." Zhu Yunwen said politely.

Huang Zicheng heard the emperor call him Mr. Huang, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the holy grace was still there, he looked at Qi Tai happily, and said loudly: "The Daning Xingdu Division stationed in Daning commanded Bu Wan to support hundreds of thousands of troops, as long as he sent troops to Songting Pass, attacked Zunhua, and attacked Song Zhong on both sides, why worry about Yan's rebellion?" ”

Zhu Yunwen's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked Qi Tai: "Bu Wan has an army of more than 100,000 troops?" How did he use his troops? ”

Qi Tai couldn't help it, so he stubbornly said: "Bu Wan is a good general. ”

"Daning Xingdu Division has jurisdiction over Xingzhou five guards, Yingzhou five guards and 28 guards such as Huizhou, Kuanhe, Fuyu, etc., among which Duoyan, Taining, and Fuyu are the most courageous, and if all the guards are mobilized, there are indeed 180,000 elite soldiers."

Qi Tai didn't dare to lie and tell the truth.

Bu Wan is stronger than Song Zhong with soldiers, but in order to prevent the collusion between King Ning and King Yan, the imperial court has transferred the governor Liu Zhen and Chen Heng to Daning, and the two officials are bigger than Bu Wan, but Bu Wan holds the real power of the commander of the capital division, and the three of them are wary of each other and hindered, so Daning is also relatively chaotic.

They didn't know that on the way to Zunhua, King Yan had already surrendered directly from Xingzhou and Yingzhou, and now Bu Wan still had 180,000 soldiers and horses, not to mention that there was a King Ning behind him, and he had to divide his troops to garrison everywhere.

Qi Tai said again: "Give an order as soon as possible, let Bu Wan move, and at the same time select a good commander and recruit soldiers and horses from all over the country." ”

Qi Tai's words are more pertinent, while letting Bu Wan move his troops, he selects a good commander and recruits follow-up soldiers and horses to support, Qi Tai still doesn't trust Daning's soldiers and horses, and hopes that the imperial court will form a new army, but Huang Zicheng preemptively mentioned Bu Wan again, which makes Qi Tai helpless.

And Huang Zicheng really didn't raise the bar with him, after all, it was Bu Wan he mentioned first, and he was in front of Qi Tai again, and he was really happy.

Fang Xiaoru, a doctor of literature on the side, kept silent and lowered his head.

Zhu Yunwen looked at Fang Xiaoru at this time, and said in a good voice: "Does Fang Aiqing have any objections?" ”

Fang Xiaoru raised his head at this time: "King Yan is the uncle of the saint, and he is in the same family, do you have to meet each other in battle?" ”

As soon as his words fell, Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng shouted almost at the same time: "Lord Fang." ”

Qi Tai said: "King Yan is rebellious, although he is an uncle, he is also a minister, he has raised troops, does the court still have to reason with him?" ”

Huang Zicheng said: "With an army of 100,000 and a thunderbolt, it will be leveled in one fell swoop." ”

"What the two Aiqing said is reasonable." Zhu Yunwen decisively supported the mobilization of troops: "Spread the order to Bu Wan, raise the army, and Song Zhong to attack King Yan on both sides, and destroy the rebels as soon as possible." ”

"At the same time, soldiers and horses from all over the country were requisitioned to prepare grain and baggage."

Emperor Zhu Yunwen listened to the advice of the two ministers this time, and let Bu Wan and Song Zhong fight first, while preparing for the follow-up soldiers.

The three of them finally shouted in unison: "The emperor is sage." ”

But before they raised their heads, they heard Zhu Yunwen say: "Remember, don't let me bear the name of killing my uncle." ”

“。。” Qi Tai's expression was depressed.
