Yang Shiqi walked out of the imperial study tiredly, at this time the lights of the entire Jinling City had been extinguished, the night was thick, and he couldn't see his five fingers.

Although there is a curfew, Yang Shiqi can still walk in the imperial city with the waist card of the cabinet, there is no way, the cabinet often works overtime until late at night, which is their exclusive privilege, and even the twelve guards who are on the night patrol in the imperial city have become accustomed to this.

Yang Shiqi walked on the silent blue brick road, with high walls on both sides, and suddenly saw a person walking at the corner in front of him, a pro-army guard wearing armor and holding a knife.

"Where's the stuff?" The guard walked over and asked coldly.

"On me." Yang Shiqi took out a white cloth bag from his sleeve, and he didn't know what was inside.

"Bring it." The guard held out his hand.

Yang Shiqi clenched the white cloth bag, his eyes sharp: "Your Excellency just wants to take things so easily?" This thing can involve the head below, Yang took advantage of his position to get this thing, if he can't change it back before tomorrow morning, do you guess how many heads Yang has enough for His Majesty to cut off? ”

The guard asked rhetorically, "Why did Your Majesty cut you?" ”

Yang Shiqi said slowly: "Stealing the defense of the capital, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, there is no doubt about rebellion, Yang is a guarantee with his head, so he can steal this seal." ”

The guard smiled: "Wait until tomorrow, how can there be any cabinet criminal minister Yang Shiqi, only Yang Shiqi, a dragon meritorious minister." ”

Yang Shiqi's body trembled, threw the cloth bag to the guards, and left in a hurry.

"I didn't hear anything."

Yang Shiqi knew that he was gambling, and if he lost the bet, his life would be gone.

A powerful storm is brewing in the East Palace, and this storm will sweep through the entire capital!

But life is nothing more than a big gamble, if you don't gamble, do you want to be an ant for a lifetime?

Since you don't have a lot of chips, why not stud bet!

……

The banquet on the Qinhuai River ended, and Zhu Gaoxian, who was full of alcohol, was just about to return home after the painting boat docked, when he saw Ah Qi's figure appear like a ghost.

"Your Majesty summoned you to the palace, and you are in a hurry." Ah Qi said solemnly.

Zhu Gaoxian was a little puzzled: "What are you looking for me to do in the middle of the night, what's the matter?" ”

Ah Qi shook his head: "I don't know, and I'm not qualified to know, but looking at the meaning in the palace, it should be that something big is going to happen." ”

Zhu Gaoxian also realized the seriousness of the matter, although the old man occasionally likes to make mistakes, but he is never ambiguous in major matters, the situation is so hasty, it will definitely not be a big case that can cause a storm in the city.

"I see, go now."

Zhu Gaoxian didn't even change his clothes, and went directly to the palace in this thin white shirt to face the saint.

……

Zhu Gaoxian hurried to the Qianqing Palace, and before he could enter, he saw a chair placed in the corridor. His Majesty the Emperor was wearing a gold dragon robe with a red background, sitting on a chair in the corridor, holding an old antique scroll that had been turned out of nowhere, and he read it with relish.

"Son-in-law Zhu Gaoxian, ask the saint bow."

Zhu Gaoxian bowed slightly and bowed.

"I'm there."

Zhu Di couldn't take his eyes off the scroll, and he didn't know what kind of book could make the emperor read so fascinated, and asked casually, "How is it, are you happy to play in Qinhuai River tonight?" ”

This may have the meaning of a warning, that is, "You boy pay attention to Lao Tzu, I can see your every move clearly", but Zhu Gaoxian didn't take it to heart, and he didn't care.

Zhu Gaoxian shrugged his shoulders and said, "Anyway, I'm having fun, tsk, the girl from Qinhuaihe, if you don't see your toes when you bow your head, you are already the best in the world." ”

"Stinky boy." Zhu Di scolded with a smile.

Sometimes Zhu Di really envies Zhu Gaoxian, this kid can do whatever he wants.

If you want to fight, you can fight, and when you go to the battlefield, it is a killing word, you can personally put on armor and rush to kill, or you can sit in the center to command, when you are calm, you are a general, and when you are bloody, you are a fierce general. And Zhu Di wanted to fight, but he had to be complained by a group of ministers who tried their best to oppose it, as if he had to beg these ministers to satisfy his wishes.

And when Zhu Gaoxian was in the capital, he seemed to have changed from a general to a mastermind, turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands into rain, and looking down on everyone indifferently.

And now, Zhu Gaoxian has become a playboy again, a gentleman, and he is drunk and dreaming of death with a beautiful woman who "bows his head and does not see his toes" on the Qinhuai River.

He can be whatever kind of person he wants, unrestrained, like an eagle soaring on the plateau, no one can put a collar on him.

With such a life, how can Zhu Di not be envious?

When he was still Zhu Di, the king of Yan, he wanted to live the life of an emperor, thinking that when he became an emperor, he would have everything, and no one could control himself. But when he really became the emperor, he found that no one could take care of him, but he had already put on the shackles for himself, and the throne was the shackles of this bondage, and he would never see freedom.

It is never others who bind freedom, but oneself.

"Bell—"

The steel fell on the blanket on the ground, making a crisp collision sound, Zhu Gaoxian looked down, and it turned out that Zhu Di threw a token shaped like a tiger half-body and engraved with inscriptions in front of his toes.

"This is the Tiger Talisman of the Twelve Guards, take this Tiger Talisman to find Fan Zhong to transfer troops." Zhu Di said lightly, "Tonight, all the gates in the capital will obey your orders unconditionally, and you have the right to dispatch the 60,000 pro-army guards in Jinling City." ”

Zhu Gaoxian gasped, what does this mean?

If he takes over this tiger talisman, it means that Zhu Gaoxian directly controls most of the troops in the capital, you know, this is the capital!

Although there are hundreds of thousands of elites in the Beijing camp, they are all outside the capital, if Zhu Gaoxian wants to rebel, this is the best time, and his power is even better than Li Shimin during the Xuanwumen Change!

At the time of the Xuanwumen Change, Li Shimin was only 800 government soldiers, and now Zhu Gaoxian controls 60,000 elite pro-army!

"! Zhu boy, I have never fought such a rich battle in my life! ”

In Zhu Gaoxian's mind, Li Shimin was already boiling, "Hurry up, let me come, the elite of the pro-army in the 60,000 capital, I will directly raise your hand, you go and think about the year name first, and leave the rest to me!" ”

Zhu Gaoxian's face darkened: "You get out of the way, the old son is kind and filial, do you still need you?" ”

"Rub, 60,000 pro-troops?" Ying Zheng was also stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile, "Xiao Zhu, come, let the widow practice his hands, I haven't led troops for a long time, and I want to try the taste of rebellion." ”

"Brother Zheng, I'm afraid you weren't infected by Li Er, I remember that you weren't such a person before." Zhu Gaoxian has a black line.

"That's it, look at you Li Er, a belly full of bad water, uneasy and kind. Xiao Zhu is right, what are you rebelling against? ”

Cao Cao smiled, "Let Gu come, what kind of rebellion is there, directly coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes!" Let's control the emperor in my hands first, and then talk about anything else, and then slowly plan for the great cause! ”

"It has to be your boss Cao, I know you're a beast and uneasy." Zhu Gaoxian scolded, "Why do you even coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, do you think that old man in my family is Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty?" As for this old man in our family, he himself is a rebel, can he leave a back hand for himself? ”

"Let's send it later, give Lao Tzu 60,000 pro-army, even if he is the Jade Emperor, he has to give me an honest abdication!"

Cao Cao said disdainfully, "Back then, Li Shimin was able to win the Zhenguan prosperous era with 800 soldiers, and now I, Cao Mengde, can win the Jiangshan Sheji with 60,000 pro-troops, which is not a problem." ”

"Cao thief, your uncle, I was originally shitty and shit, but when I heard your words, I stood up inexplicably!" Huo Qu in the corner scolded angrily.

Zhu Gaoxian was shocked: "Your mother came to Huo Qu next door to get sick, did you shit in my head and report?" ”

"I still have to report to you when I last went to the hut?" Huo Quzhi lifted his pants and didn't recognize anyone.

"Meng Xin" Xing Daorong heard the sound of the quarrel, came over and asked curiously, "What are you talking about?" ”

Huo Quzhi glanced at him, and because he was in a bad mood, he directly spat out the fragrance: "Talk about why your wife is so beautiful, let me not control the birth of you as a rebel." ”

"I'll join your mother!" Xing Daorong was furious, thinking that he was called a grievance, and he was greeted by someone when he came up.

Zhu Gaoxian's mind was a mess, Xing Daorong and Huo Qubing sprayed each other, and then due to the large gap between the combat power, Huo Quzhi was solved by Huo Quai's sweeping leg, and then Xing Daorong knelt down and shouted: "I don't mean this, dad spare me!" ”

Li Shimin and Cao Cao did not rise to the level of "martial arts", both of them are characters who pay attention to their own image, and they are engaged in literary fighting, one by one, "his mother", "Cao thief", "Li Er", "your mother is very happy under my crotch", "I am your righteous father, and I don't kneel down quickly to call my father"......

Zhu Gaoxian was so noisy that he simply withdrew from the world of his mind and refused to chat with the two arms.

……

"What does the father mean by giving this tiger talisman to his son?" Zhu Gaoxian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't pick up the tiger talisman on the ground for the first time.

This tiger talisman is too weird, Zhu Gaoxian was a little unsure of what Zhu Di was thinking in his heart for a while, could it be that he was cheating his son again?

The old man's calculations are too deep, and strange tricks are frequent, Zhu Gaoxian doesn't dare not guarantee that he won't fall for it, what if the old man is fishing? What if he just picked up this tiger talisman and rushed out before he could say anything, a group of shadow servants pressed him to the ground, accusing him of malicious intentions and rebellion?

"Tonight, when I go to Jinchuanmen, some people want to give his father a head start and follow the example of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty." Zhu Di said calmly, "You don't have to worry about other things, just take care of Jinchuanmen and bring that person over." ”

Zhu Gaoxian frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

What do you say about it......

Wait a minute?

Emulate Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty?

The change of Xuanwu Gate?

Zhu Gaoxian already realized in his heart, picked up the tiger talisman and hugged his fist and said, "Erchen understands." ”

……

A flash of lightning swept through the night, followed by a rumbling spring thunder, as if a mountain had collapsed and the ancient gods roared.

The majestic rain came unannounced in the middle of the night, washing away the dust on the city wall of the ancient capital, leaving only the traces of the sword that symbolizes history, although it is full of holes, it still stands on the other side of the Yangtze River, like a prince who has witnessed the vicissitudes of time, looking down on the world.

From the camp where the Beijing camp was stationed, a team of more than 1,000 people was quietly separated, taking advantage of the night, under the cover of the heavy rain, to march to the capital.

After trekking through the mud, they finally arrived at the Jinchuan Gate, and the generals stationed on the city wall couldn't help but be startled when they saw the sudden appearance of the army.

"The capital is heavy, you can't approach without a will, retreat quickly!" The Jinchuan gate guard shouted.

And the young man led by the army under the city was dressed in armor, and he raised his head and glanced coldly at the guard.

The Jinchuan Gate guard's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help muttering: "Duke Xu Qin of Wei? How did he end up here, and who gave him the authority to bring troops close to the capital? ”

Xu Qin, the Duke of Wei, the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the grandson of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, and the son of Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei in the previous generation, is also Zhu Gaoxian's cousin in terms of blood relationship and generation.

Because his aunt is Zhu Di's wife, that is, Zhu Gaoxian's mother-in-law, Queen Xu.

Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, has achieved fame in his life and is a very popular minister. His descendants are ill-fated. The reason is naturally inseparable from Xu Da's son-in-law, Yanwang Zhu Di.

During the Battle of Jingjing, Xu Da's two sons, the eldest son Xu Huizu and the second son Xu Zengshou, stood in line with Emperor Jianwen and Zhu Di, the king of Yan, respectively, and finally Xu Zengshou was hammered to death by the embarrassed and angry Emperor Jianwen, and Xu Huizu almost killed Zhu Di.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he naturally had no good impression of Xu Huizu, the eldest brother.

In the middle of the fifth year of Yongle, Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, died in captivity.

When the news reached the palace, Empress Xu, who was ill, was grief-stricken and died of illness in the same month.

In January, Xu Da's eldest daughter and eldest son died one after another.

Xu Qin, the son of Xu Huizu, inherited the title of Duke of Wei, and Xu Jingchang, the son of Xu Zengshou, inherited the title of Duke of Dingguo, and the Xu family is a double duke!

It's just that Xu Qin, who is the Duke of Guo, is not doing well, his father offended Zhu Di miserably, although because of Queen Xu and Dingguo Gong, the title of Duke of Wei was finally inherited, but Xu Qin was stared at by Zhu Di like a thief, so uncomfortable.

And Xu Qin inherited his father's will, and he didn't have a good impression of Zhu Di's family of thieves, so he kept thinking about Emperor Jianwen and kicking Zhu Di down before saying anything else.

Now, Xu Qin and others have an opportunity, waiting for Zhu Di's father and son to turn against each other, he got the military power from the East Palace, and tonight, at the place where Zhu Di launched the "Jinchuan Gate Change", he led the troops into the capital!

"Retreat!"

The Jinchuan gate general roared, "If you don't retreat again, don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”

Not to mention that Xu Qin is such a criminal minister, even if the prince of the country is here, the Jinchuan Gate guard will not be polite.

In the middle of the night, you came to the foot of the capital with the army, what do you want to do?

What else can you do but rebel!

The Jinchuan gate guard almost shouted "The thief is here", and then directly ordered the arrow to be released.

"This prince has a guard in hand, and he was ordered to enter Beijing, why don't you open the door quickly?"

Xu Qin took out a Guan Fang seal, raised it over his shoulder, and shouted.

"What's that? Customs? The Jinchuan gate guard was stunned for a moment.

The adjutant general on the side whispered: "General, why don't you take a look at the authenticity of this pass seal first, if it is fake, we will release the arrow directly, if it is true......"

"Fuck your mother's fart, what kind of person is Xu Qin, can Your Majesty let him lead troops into Beijing?" The Jinchuan guard didn't believe it at all, but after hesitating, he still sent a hanging basket down.

If this level of protection is true, then the fun will be great.

The hanging basket was pulled up with the seal of Guan Fang, and Jinchuanmen took out the seal from the basket and carefully observed.

"General, this seal seems to be real." The lieutenant was a little incredulous.

"Grass, what's this called?" The Jinchuan Gate guard was a little skeptical, "Xu Qin can lead troops into Beijing, what is the difference between this and Emperor Jianwen letting Li Jinglong be the coach, it's outrageous!" ”

Xu Qin under the city was already impatient to wait, and shouted: "Guan Fang Yin Ru has verified the authenticity, and he won't open the door quickly!" ”

The seal is definitely true, but the way it comes will definitely not be too serious.

Xu Qin didn't want to delay too much time in Jinchuan Gate, in case the dog emperor reacted, all the calves would be finished, time was his life at this moment, he had to lead his troops into the city in the shortest possible time, and then ...... Kill him in a bloody storm!

The adjutant general of the city asked, "General, do you want to open the city gate?" ”

The Jinchuan gate guard hesitated for a long time, and gritted his teeth ruthlessly: "Open!" ”

The deputy general said: "General, this Wei Duke Xu Qin is not a serious person, if it causes a big change, we will all be questioned......

"If I don't open the gates, I won't be asked?" The Jinchuan Gate guard said helplessly, "I don't know if Xu Qin's intentions in entering Beijing are ill-intentioned, but I know that this pass seal is true, and the gate is here, how can I refuse, open the city gate." ”

There was no way, the defenders could only follow the orders of the guards and open the city gates.

Xu Qin looked at the city gate that was slowly pushed open, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

He seemed to have seen himself push the dog emperor off the throne, so that Zhu Di could also taste the taste of being rebelled and avenge his father.

Soon he couldn't laugh anymore.

After the gate of Jinchuan was pushed open, it rained like ink at night, and it was dimly possible to see the neat arrangement behind the door, the cavalry wearing heavy armor, densely packed, long soldiers with swords, riding high horses with crossbow arrows, the elite of the elite, all on the twelve guards guards, the tiger and leopard elite of the Ming Dynasty!

Just through the rain curtain, you can feel the murderous aura under the Jinchuan Gate, and the Jin Ge Iron Horse meets on a narrow road, which may cause a big war at any time.

"Cousin, long time no see, how are you doing lately?"

In the cavalry team of Yongdao, suddenly gave way to a road, and the young prince on a horse carried a knife and lazily marched forward.

"King Qi!"

Xu Qin gritted his teeth, and when he saw the moment when the Twelve Guards were waiting for him, he knew that he was finished.

His dear uncle Zhu Di must have known all this for a long time and set up an ambush.

King Qi personally brought the twelve guards to Jinchuan Gate in the middle of the night, just to touch the thick night and catch him, the Duke of Wei!

The Jinchuan Gate guard on the city wall smiled: "Duke Wei? There will be no return for you! ”

The adjutant general gave a thumbs up: The general has good acting skills!

Zhu Gaoxian looked at Xu Qin, the Duke of Wei in front of him, and said unhurriedly: "The long night is long and I have no intention of sleeping, I thought that I was the only one who couldn't sleep, so it turned out that cousin you couldn't sleep either!" ”

Xu Qin tightened his teeth: "Yes, I don't know why the prince can't sleep?"

Zhu Gaoxian smiled lightly: "It's because of you, cousin." ”

Xu Qin: "Me? ”

Zhu Gaoxian looked directly at Xu Qin: "Yes, it's cousin, such a heavy rain is the most suitable for killing, cousin, do you think so too?" ”
