Wang Mao and Wang Can glanced at each other, "Come in!" ”

The guard opened the door, and a gray-clothed guard came in, walked forward and knelt on the ground and said, "Grandpa Guo, the Duke of Dingguo will lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to the capital, and it is expected to arrive in two days!" ”

Wang Can Huoran got up and said sharply, "You say it again?" ”

The guard said, "The Duke of Dingguo led 50,000 soldiers and horses to the capital, all of them were cavalry, and now there are only five hundred miles!" ”

Wang Can walked quickly to the guard, grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up, "How can it be the Duke of Dingguo, the Southwest Army is thousands of miles away from the capital!" Does he have an edict? ”

The guard said, "It is indeed the Duke of Dingguo, and I don't know if he is an edict or not." However, the direction of the march was from the west, not from the south. ”

Wang Can said unexpectedly, "West? Is it the Southwest Army, or the Northwest Army? ”

The guard said, "I don't know what barracks they belong to." They do not pull the military flag, march at night, and their whereabouts are extremely secretive. I have left someone to investigate, and I will come back to report to you first. ”

Wang Can asked a few more words, and then asked him to step back.

He looked at Wang Mao, "What do you think?" ”

Wang Mao said, "Dingguo Gong or got the news that the Jin Wangfu and Dingguo Mansion were besieged, and simply rebelled?" He frowned, "But after only ten days, it is impossible for either the Southwest Army or the Northwest Army to have such a fast reaction speed." ”

Wang Can frowned, pacing back and forth.

"If he wants to rebel, he doesn't necessarily have to use the soldiers and horses in the barracks. Whether it is the Dingguo Mansion or the Anling Hou Mansion, or even the Jin Palace, it has existed for so many years, how can it not have its own private soldiers in its hands. ”

Wang Mao's face was grim, "If it is a private soldier, the combat power of 50,000 soldiers and horses cannot be said to be stronger than that in the barracks." If you are not careful, the Great Zhou Dynasty will be changed. ”

Wang Can sneered, "Where is it so easy." There are 30,000 soldiers and horses in the suburbs of Beijing outside the capital, there are so many guards in the capital, and there are tens of thousands of imperial forest troops in the palace. ”

He walked up to Wang Mao and lowered his voice, "The emperor has a soldier and horse in his hand, and no one knows where to hide." Its combat power is not comparable to that of the Royal Forest Army. The palace is impregnable, you can rest assured. ”

Wang Mao was a little relieved, "It's good that the palace can ensure that it is safe." Now, we don't need to add firewood, and the emperor should be ruthless to King Jin. ”

Wang Can bowed, "That's right." ”

He put on his official uniform and said, "This prince enters the palace to play the emperor." You wait for news in the house. ”

Wang Mao should be.

Wang Mao hurried to the palace, when it was already dark and the palace gate was closed.

The guards went to the Qianqing Palace first, and then inquired and rushed to the Kunning Palace.

Wu Jian stood at the gate of the palace and said, "The emperor is having dinner with the queen, wait." ”

The guard arched his hand and said, "Chief Wu, the Duke of Zhenguo said that there is urgent business to meet the emperor." ”

Wu Jian said, "I don't look at where this is, even if there is a big emergency, I have to wait." If the emperor doesn't come out tonight, he will have it tomorrow morning. ”

The guard said anxiously, "But Zhen Guogong said that if it's late, I'm afraid no one can afford it." ”

Wu Jian held the dust motionless, lowered his eyelids and said, "If you are really in a hurry, you can go into the palace and pass the word yourself." ”

The guard arched his hand and said, "Don't dare!" ”

Wu Jian said lightly, "Then wait." ”

The main hall of Kunning Palace.

There are a few very ordinary home-cooked dishes on the dining table, and there are no palace people in the palace to serve them.

Emperor Qingming helped the queen to serve vegetables and porridge, and persuaded her to eat more in a soft voice.

"This vegetable soup is filled with snow lotus, the taste is very light, you can taste it."

The queen lowered her head and took a few sips and said, "The emperor doesn't have to bother wasting these precious medicinal materials, and the concubine's body is fine." ”

Emperor Qingming's eyes flashed with pain, and he said, "You endure inhuman suffering day and night, and you often can't sleep at night, I don't know." Snow Lotus can relieve a pain or two for you, even if you use Snow Lotus all over the world. ”

The empress shook her head slightly, her eyes covered with black gauze looked at Emperor Qingming, "It's useless." The emperor should not do these useless works. ”

Emperor Qingming raised his hand and gently stroked those eyes, and said gently, "The queen mother has newly obtained half a thousand-year-old snow lotus, and the snow lotus has bloomed for thousands of years on the top of the Xiliang Snow Mountain, which is an excellent calming and repairing thing." When I ask for it, let the doctor make an ointment for you and apply it, and you will be well and you will not have to suffer from this pain. ”

The queen sighed helplessly, lowered her head and continued to drink porridge.

After dinner, Emperor Qingming personally put on a thick white fox fur cloak for the queen, put on a hood, and took her hand out of the main hall.

Now it is the second month of the lunar month, a round of waning moon at night, a few palace lights in the courtyard, there is a faint fragrance of flowers.

The two walked in the courtyard to eat.

Because of the charcoal pots scattered around the garden, even though it is a cold winter, the courtyard does not feel cold.

When the two of them walked around to the position near the palace gate, Wu Jian coughed softly outside.

Emperor Qingming frowned.

After patiently walking with the queen for a quarter of an hour, he sent her back to the main hall and helped her remove her cloak.

"I still have official business to take care of, you should rest sooner."

The queen bowed her head and said, "The emperor will go up." ”

Emperor Qingming smiled and stroked her face, and Fang turned to leave.

Out of Kunning Palace, he glanced at Wu Jian, "What's the matter?" ”

Wu Jian hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty, "The slave is guilty, disturbing the emperor and queen!" It's just that the Duke of Zhenguo asked to see him outside the palace gate, saying that he had urgent official business, and the slave was afraid of delaying the big event, so he had to risk his death to remind him and ask the emperor to surrender! ”

Emperor Qingming said, "You get up." ”

Wu Jian got up and beckoned to the guards guarding the gate in the distance, "Come here and report it." ”

The guard ran over, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the prince of Zhenguo asks to see you!" ”

Emperor Qingming said, "Lead him to the imperial study." ”

"Yes!"

The guards were ordered to retreat.

As soon as Emperor Qingming arrived at the imperial study and sat down, Wang Can, the prince of Zhenguo, walked in quickly.

He knelt down in front of the dragon case, arched his hands and said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty, the Duke of Dingguo has rebelled!" ”

Emperor Qingming's face turned pale, "What? ”

"Dingguo Gong led 50,000 troops to the capital, and now the distance is less than 500 miles!"

Emperor Qingming's eyes were gloomy, and he said coldly, "He still turned around after all." ”

Wang Can said, "The situation is critical, please ask the emperor to show me!" ”

Emperor Qingming did not make a decision in a hurry, he also had a secret guard system himself.

He was waiting, waiting for news from his own people.

It's just that his secret guard system is so much slower than Wang Can's, until an hour later, two or three hours after Wang Can's news, he received a message from the secret guard.

Dingguo Gong is indeed the opposite.

Emperor Qingming went to the apse and took out a small box, which contained a tiger talisman.

He handed over the tiger talisman to Wang Can, "This is the tiger talisman of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, you go to the camp to give the four princes an order and arrange the defense of Beijing." ”

Wang Can hesitated, "Although the fourth prince has some kung fu, he doesn't know how to lead the troops. ”

Emperor Qingming said lightly, "There are so many battle-hardened generals in the big camp, they know how to do it. ”

Wang Can gave up his hand and got up and retreated.

The second Mo Mo felt a little choked
