Yang Bo trembled and came to Dongcheng with the support of everyone, and the people around him shouted down: "Is it Xu Ge Lao below?" ”

Xu He waited for a long time, and finally saw someone in the city asking, he hurriedly raised his head to look at the city, and at this time, in his sight, Yang Bo actually arrived in person.

Xu He arched his hand towards the city and said, "Elder Yang Ge, under Xu He!" ”

Yang Bo in the city was suddenly taken aback and said, "Xu Yuma, why are you?" What about Xu Ge Lao? ”

This really stopped Xu He, and pulled it up, this is called a child without a mother, it's a long story, the distance between the two sides is so far, it's too difficult to communicate.

So he hurriedly shouted to the city: "I will write a letter, Elder Ge wait!" ”

After speaking, he ordered Wu Decao to quickly prepare pen and ink, lay on the saddle and walk the dragon and snake, and after a while, a letter of how he went south to King Qin, how he met the Zhongshushe people who were captured, and how he rushed to Tianjin Sanwei were written one by one, and finally put it in the basket that fell on the city and was carried up.

When Yang Bo took the letter, he opened it and read it.

When he saw that Tianjin Sanwei dared to put his ministers under house arrest, he immediately angrily slammed the wall and scolded: "The thief is so bold! ”

After a while, I saw Xu He enter the city and decisively kill the two guards with the soldiers Qin Wang, he praised the knot, and said to the left and right: "I always felt that Xu Juma was young and talented, but he was young and vigorous, and now it seems that the horse is really resolute and resolute, and he is really a great talent of the country!" ”

The people around nodded their heads again and again, and Qi claimed yes.

At this moment, someone asked: "Ge Lao, Xu Yuma has arrived in the city with reinforcements, is there any request in the letter?" If we want food, we don't have it, and the Tatars have been here for so many days, and we won't drive them away......"

Yang Bo said: "The horse did not ask for food, but asked us to provide more gunpowder to defend against the enemy, as for ......"

Yang Bo looked at the people and horses under the city, and after a rough calculation, there were only five or six thousand people.

The desire of these people to expel the Tatars is nothing less than a drop in the bucket.

And Ma Lanyu has now been recovered, even if the Tatars can be driven away, what will happen to Ma Lanyu?

To put it bluntly, the arrival of Xu He and them can indeed boost the morale of Jingzhong, but it is useless in the overall situation.

"Go to the Ministry of Works first, let them quickly allocate gunpowder, and then send it to the city, don't delay!"

In any case, Xu He's ability to come is already a great achievement, and his request should be met as soon as possible.

At this moment, someone suddenly hurriedly came to Yang Bo's ear and whispered a few words.

Yang Bo was shocked when he heard this, and he couldn't care about Xu He under the city anymore, so he turned around and hurriedly walked under the city wall.

The generals of the three major battalions around looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.

Moreover, although Yang Bo assigned everyone to send gunpowder supplies to Xu He, he did not leave a handwritten letter, and even if they went to the Ministry of Industry, they would not be able to get gunpowder.

"I'm afraid something has happened in the city!"

"Yes, the prince was abolished a few days ago...... No, it was the prison country that was assassinated in the city, alas, the Tatars have been robbing Shuntianfu for so many days, and there is no peace in this city, who are you talking about......"

"Silence, don't you want to die? This kind of thing is also taken out in broad daylight as a talking point! It's all scattered! ”

"What about the city?"

"What to do? Wait for the elder to come back! ”

……

Yang Bo, who didn't know anything about what was happening in the city, actually learned the news of the killing of the prison state from a Jin official in Beijing.

When the news reached his ears, he almost had a "boom" in his head, and he almost fell down without standing firmly.

But he instantly forced himself to calm down, at this time, he must not reveal a little news in front of the defenders, at least not let the news leak out of him when the court has a public statement on this matter.

His first instinct was to hurry back to the cabinet and discuss the matter with the first assistant.

But when he arrived at the cabinet in a carriage, he found that the cabinet was quiet and strange.

What kind of person is Yang Bo, who has been floating in the sea for decades, and soon he smelled a hint of wrongness, turned his head to his entourage and said, "Go first!" ”

When he led people to turn around and prepare to leave, the courtyard gate of Wenyuan Pavilion was suddenly closed from the outside.

Yang Bo's face was shocked: "What person?" What doors close during the day? ”

"Hahahaha...... Yang Ge Lao! I didn't expect you to come so soon! ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Can, the king of Qi, walked out of the duty room of Shoufu Wu Xingbang.

When Yang Bo saw Zhang Can, his face changed greatly, and he pretended to be calm and arched his hand: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness the King of Qi, the old minister didn't know that you were here!" Courteous! ”

Zhang Can smiled slightly: "Yang Ge is working hard to defend the city, how can he have time to come to the cabinet?" Is there something wrong? ”

Yang Bo looked at Zhang Can, and his face returned to calm: "There is indeed something to discuss with the first assistant!" ”

Zhang Can hooked up a smile of unknown meaning and said, "Shoufu? Wu Shoufu is on duty, come on! ”

Even if Yang Bo doesn't want to go now, he can only bite the bullet.

When he saw Wu Xingbang, unexpectedly, Wu Xingbang sat on the Taishi chair unharmed, but when he saw himself coming in, his face was still pale, his lips were tightly pursed, and he didn't say a word.

Zhang Can, who came in later, said: "Elder Yang Ge, aren't you looking for Shoufu to have something?" Go ahead! ”

Yang Bo is a person who understands power and scheming very well, but his temperament is not like that of an old scheming person, and he has the straightforwardness of Shanxi people.

Seeing this, he simply had a showdown, turned his head to look directly at Zhang Can, and said, "King Qi, what happened in the city?" ”

Zhang Can smiled and said: "It's nothing, the chaotic ministers and thieves are appointed as prisoners, and they are also bold and reckless, looting everywhere in the city, this king, as a prince, naturally wants to share his father's worries and kill the thief with his own hands." ”

Yang Bo gritted his teeth, stared at Zhang Can, and said, "Dare to ask Your Highness, who is the thief?" ”

The smile on Zhang Can's face disappeared, and he looked up at Yang Bo: "Waste Prince, did Mr. Yang ask knowingly?" ”

Yang Bo was furious: "The crown prince is the eldest brother of His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the emperor, he was approved by the ministers and the queen when he served as the prisoner, how can you kill your brother?" ”

Zhang Can was furious when he heard this, and stood up close to Yang Bo and said: "Mr. Yang, let me remind you, Zhang Xuan is not the crown prince, but the abolished prince who was personally deposed by his father. ”

"You ......"

Zhang Can sneered: "What's more, he actually took advantage of the enemy army to attack the city, his father was unconscious, and wantonly looted the rich families in the city, even if his father woke up, he would definitely be punished for the crime of rebellion!" ”

"Someone! Please come in! ”

After Zhang Can finished speaking, Sun Ang, the captain of the horses, lowered his head and cautiously walked into the duty room.

"Uncle, you boldly say, what did Zhang Yan do to your mansion?"

Sun Ang cried with a sad face, he was completely caught by Zhang Can, and as a last resort, he could only shrink back and say: "Waste, the waste prince asked someone to forcibly empty the food in my house!" ”

Zhang Can said coldly: "Did you hear that?" Elder Yang Ge, this is my uncle, that thief actually robbed his own aunt's house, my aunt is in the spirit of heaven, how can she rest in peace? ”

"Enough!"

At this time, Wu Xingbang, who had not spoken, suddenly slapped the book case and said coldly to Zhang Can: "His Royal Highness King Qi, go to the rich family of the clan to borrow grain, that is the idea of our cabinet, and the prison country is just according to the constitution!" ”
