Since the 19th, the imperial court issued an order to transfer troops, the Ming Dynasty in the territory of the adjustable troops, Shandong, Henan, Nanzhili, Zhejiang and other places, day and night, have gathered, the first time to open the Beijing division of the king.

The entire Ming Dynasty was mobilized, and the busiest people on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the fleeing crowd from the south, met with the Qinwang army going north, and the provincial officials along the way tried their best to clear the river to ensure that the Qinwang army was through.

On the 21st, more than 20 counties around Shuntianfu raised troops, a total of more than 30,000 hardcover soldiers, and took the lead in arriving in Beijing City, stationed in Xiyuan, and was taken over by the military department and began to transfer generals for training.

On the 22nd, the Beizhili reserve arrived in Beijing, totaling more than 20,000 people, and the follow-up recruited troops will arrive one after another.

In the past two days, on the straight road from Tongzhou to Beijing, crowds gathered, the army entering Beijing, and the common people transporting grain, crowded this straight road, and by the evening of the 22nd, Beijing had 80,000 troops, and the sound of killing in the Xiyuan school field shook the sky.

...

Noon Gate, the southernmost point of the central axis of the Imperial City, because it is in the center to the sun, it is located as the meridian, so it is called the Noon Gate, its plane is in the shape of "concave", it is divided into two parts, the lower is the pier platform, three doors are opened in the middle, there is a (left and right) door on both sides, a total of five gates.

In addition, when marrying the queen of the world, the queen is allowed to pass once, and the top three in the imperial examination are eligible to enter and exit from the main gate of the noon gate, while the rest of the civil and military officials or the grandchildren of the clan can only enter through the side gate of the noon gate.

On the pier platform, there is a gatehouse in the middle, nine rooms are wide, five rooms are deep, the top of the hall is the heavy eaves, there are 13 rooms of the corridor in each wing, commonly known as the "wild goose wing building", at both ends of the corridor, there is also the square pavilion of the heavy eaves and the spire.

There are three bell and drum pavilions on both sides of the gatehouse in the middle, every time the emperor comes to the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Earth to worship, the bell is ringed, the drum is beaten to the temple to worship, large-scale activities, etc., the bell and drum ring in unison.

The whole building of the noon gate is staggered, the left and right echo, symmetrically distributed, the shape is like the wings of the red bird, so it is called "five phoenix towers" again, it is the symbol of the majesty and majesty of the Son of Heaven.

Outside the noon gate, facing south, there is a wide square, where every year encounters a grand festival celebration, sacrifice, or the New Year's worship of a hundred officials, or the emperor promulgates a major edict, or the army returns victoriously to offer prisoners, it is here to accept the emperor's summons and rewards.

A few days have passed, the military is proceeding in an orderly manner, and the army of King Qin has arrived one after another, since the noon gate has such an important symbolic significance, so Zhu Qiyu, the king of the servant, plans to hold a court meeting at the noon gate, and accept the report of the officials of the six ministries to show his attention.

However, the gatehouse in the middle of the noon gate is definitely not usable, Zhu Qiyu, the king of the servant, is not the emperor, and there is a suspicion of exceeding the rules by using it without permission, so the court discussion is placed on the left door, the left is the top, and the top is big.

At the beginning of the year, the east is not bright, the heavy clouds cover the sky, the morning star is not visible, under the eyes, it is the ultimate darkness, the firelight on the gatehouse will light up the outline of the noon gate at night, the five doors downstairs are looming, the cave is deep and dark, the slightly cool morning breeze hits the outside of the noon gate, causing the five doors to make a low whining sound.

The noon gate of the Ming Dynasty also has a special role, that is, it is used to use the court staff disobedient courtiers, this precedent was first opened by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, so the ministers passed from the noon gate, listening to the whining sound of the five gates, they will always be vigilant.

However, our ancestors are gone, and history will be rewritten today.

At the end of the day, the ministers outside the noon gate, holding the wat board, picked up the court clothes, and entered the court room in turn.

At the beginning of the Mao period, the east was white, the "five phoenix" floor, on the bell, the eunuch of the bell and drum division sounded the bell and drum, and after the three-way bell and drum, the ministers entered the left door to discuss the court.

Empress Dowager Sun listened to the government, Jin Ying and Xing'an supported left and right, sitting behind the bead curtain of the throne, under the throne is the square stool of Zhu Qiyu, the king of servants, and the eunuchs Cheng Jing and Zhang Yong stood on the left and right.

Zhu Qiyu got up from the small stool, saluted behind the bead curtain, and with the permission of the Empress Dowager Sun, he began to preside over the court meeting, and the eunuch Jin Ying looked at the neat civil and military ministers of the Imperial Majesty, and shouted loudly: "Kneel!" ”

Zhu Qiyu led the ministers, knelt down to the empty throne and worshipped, and shouted: "Long live!" ”

After the ceremony, the early dynasty officially began.

The officials of Honglu Temple went out of class first, and reported to Zhu Qiyu the number of officials who went to Beijing to thank him and left Beijing to resign.

Immediately after that, it was a report to the border customs.

Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, went out of the class, sorted out his mood, and first reported on the situation of the Qinwang army entering Beijing, as well as the process of Beijing's urban defense deployment, and the preparation of Juyong and Bauhinia passes.

There is only one main purpose, that is, the military action of the Ming Dynasty, the whole country is united, is in full swing, and everything is going smoothly at present.

After listening to Yu Qian's well-organized report, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhu Qiyu expressed his recognition of Qian's work.

However, Yu Qian, who finished the report, did not return to work, still pestle in front of the palace, and suddenly became tragic, his body was gloomy, as if there was something unspeakable, Zhu Qiyu was puzzled: "Yu Shangshu, but there is still something important to play?" ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were also curious, and their eyes were all locked on Yu Qian, like this kind of style, and Yu Qian, who acted in a big way in Su Rili, judged like two people.

Everyone can't help but wonder in their hearts, could it be that something big has happened?

In fact, everyone guessed right, Yu Qian did encounter an unspeakable thing, not that he didn't dare to say it, but he really didn't have the face to say it.

Here's the thing.

This morning, Yang Hong, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, sent an urgent report of 800 miles to the military department, Yu Qian, who stayed up all night on duty, received it as soon as possible, read it, and was stunned and unbelievable.

Zhu Qizhen was captured in Wara, and he wanted Daming to send a ransom to ransom people, and Daming also sent it according to Wara's requirements, but this person was not authentic, collected money and did not do anything, and continued to ask for ransom.

Those who didn't get the benefits were first, and through the advice of the traitor Xining, they immediately rushed to Xuanfu with Zhu Qizhen, so a god-level operation that shocked the entire Chinese history appeared.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was under the city of Xuanfu, and he actually ordered Yang Hong, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, to surrender the city and personally knock on the pass for the enemy.

Xuanfu is the outer barrier of Beijing, one of the nine towns, plays an important role, it goes without saying, if Xuanfu is broken, then Beijing is left only Juyong, Bauhinia two passes to resist the enemy, as long as a pass is broken, the Warat people can graze Beijing City at any time.

Yang Hong, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, was dumbfounded at that time, and looked at each other with the deputy generals Fan Guang and Zhu Qian.

But no matter which hat is buttoned down, it is a felony, and the generals of the Xuanfu cannot escape, and they will be dismissed and investigated, and they will be beheaded at the worst.

Seeing that the soldiers in the city were unstable, Yang Hong immediately made a decision, and together with the two deputy generals, he stood on the city wall and responded: "It's twilight, don't dare to open the door!" ”

He also did not give up, continued to threaten Zhu Qizhen, and ordered Yang Hong to come out to meet the saint, and then Zhu Qizhen really ordered Yang Hong to come out to meet him.

Yang Hong was beaten to death, and he didn't dare to go out to see Zhu Qizhen, under the prompting of the deputy general, he simply didn't do anything, and people responded: "Yang Hong, the town minister, has already lived with him." ”

After that, up and down the city, several battles of tongue on both sides came down, and the head of Xuanfu City, back and forth, there was one sentence, "The chief soldier Yang Hong is not in Xuanfu, and the city gate will not be opened without Yang Hong's order." ”

Seeing that the plan failed, Zhu Qizhen went straight to Datong, wanting to repeat the old trick and let Zhu Qizhen knock on Datong.
