248, the army presses the border
The Jingcha incident has been going on for three days, and during these three days, many officials have been arrested.
This matter has already involved the officials of the fourth or fifth grades, and further up, they are the real court officials, all of whom are officials at the level of the six ministers.
For a time, officials in Beijing were panicked.
At first, everyone still put their hopes on the princes, but since Shen Du took people away in front of the four princes, it also made everyone realize that even the princes couldn't protect them at the moment.
Since that incident, the four princes have been closed.
It's just that, gradually, some ugly rumors have spread among the people.
The prince listened to the words of the traitor Shen Du, arrested officials on a large scale, and even slaughtered innocent people.
As for whether innocent people were killed or not, in fact, most people do not know.
If the people of the rivers and lakes and the children of those families are also people.
For a time, all kinds of rumors spread.
No one knows exactly how these rumors came out, but in just one night, they spread throughout Gyeonggi, and even in various states.
All this seems to have been premeditated.
Most of the people are ignorant, and even many people don't know a few big characters, they only know that they are the people of Yan Kingdom, the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, surnamed Xia, that's all.
As for the more complicated situation, the people who can't even eat enough obviously don't think about it so much.
The prince's struggle for the throne is only understood by the people living in Yanjing City, after all, they live at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
Under this rumor, all kinds of natural disasters and man-made disasters in the past 20 years have been blamed on the prince's injustice.
It was the prince who did something wrong, and only then did the heavens send calamity, so they couldn't eat enough.
In this way, the idea spreads from place to place.
In various places, the family gate valve is not just as simple as controlling private soldiers, they also affect all aspects of the people of a state.
The exploitation of the family, in the eyes of most people, is the court oppressing them.
Even the Son of Heaven has no way, and most of the time he can only be forced to issue an edict.
And the prince's unreasonableness is to trust the traitorous minister - Shen Du.
When everyone thinks about it, it seems that since the crown prince came to power, life seems to have been very hard.
Since everyone else scolds, they also scold.
Anyway, it's just a discussion, and they can't all be arrested and put in prison.
What's more, it is only about the traitorous ministers trusted by the prince, and there are even rumors that the prince has long been controlled.
Similar news circulated between state capitals.
……
Shen Duyi received the information early on.
Looking at the information on the table, he realized that these noble families couldn't sit still after all.
They are far more eager, more ruthless, and more decisive than they imagined.
Once the crown prince's Jingcha is investigated to the end, it will be a blunt knife to cut the flesh, they can only wait for death, and most of their power in the court and the state capitals will be cut off.
These noble families will inevitably not really be killed, and the final result can only go in the direction that everyone is most unwilling to see.
Public opinion rumors are only the first step!
Everything pays attention to a division that is famous, and it is impossible for them to brazenly rebel with a big banner.
Although the people are ignorant, this Yan country was established by generations of old Yan people, and few people will really follow to rebel.
The throne of the Xia family has been for more than 200 years, not to mention that it is as stable as Mount Tai, but for more than 200 years, it is still good on the whole, and every emperor is not mediocre and incompetent, let alone doing anything that is angry and resentful.
Therefore, there is a high probability that they will use the slogan of entering the king of Jingqin.
It's just that the crown prince is still there......
As soon as this thought came to mind, Shen Du's face suddenly changed.
"Boom!"
At this moment, a terrifying momentum suddenly erupted in the direction of the East Palace in the distance.
Dharma Elephant!
This breath appeared so abruptly that no one reacted.
In an instant, everyone only felt a shocking sense of oppression, and at the same time, there was an inexplicable palpitation in their hearts.
Immediately afterwards, a roar spread throughout Beijing.
"Presumptuous!"
"How dare you!?"
Shen Du heard it, this was the voice of Lu Chengen, the chief eunuch of the East Palace.
"Not good!"
Shen Du's mind turned, he directly got up and jumped up, and rushed towards the direction of the East Palace.
In the distance, a figure had chased a vague figure straight out of the city.
Although it is not very real, Shen Du can also recognize it, it should be the Six Doors God Capture Xiang Jingxing.
Almost at the same time, several majestic momentum erupted in Beijing, heading straight for the East Palace.
Figures galloped in.
At this moment, there was already a mess in front of the East Palace, and the dense guards of the East Palace fell in a pool of blood.
There are stumps and broken arms everywhere, and there is hardly a intact body in sight.
As soon as Shen Dugang fell, Cui Jingsheng and Zhan Hongyan also rushed over.
There were no superfluous words, but a solemn face and even more anger.
This is a naked provocation to the majesty of Dayan!
Blatantly attacked the East Palace, when what is this place?
Who was it just now?
Not far away, some people in the rivers and lakes watched from a distance and did not dare to get too close.
These people are all in the Yuan Shen Realm, and their strength is not weak, so they have the courage to come.
Looking at the scene in the distance, everyone's faces were full of shock.
The East Palace was attacked?
With that breath just now, they would never perceive it wrong, and it was clear that it was a strong person in the Law Elephant Realm who made a move.
Who is so bold?
Attack the East Palace, don't die?
There are a number of strong people in the world, only the two factions of Buddhism and Taoism, with strong foundations, may be more.
Could it be that he is from Shaolin?
But even if Shaolin wants to take revenge, he should go to Shen Ducai.
Choosing this time to attack the East Palace, it is easy for people to associate it with the Jingcha incident that has been in a uproar recently.
Everyone knows that Jingcha has touched the core interests of various noble families.
Just when everyone was about to step into the East Palace, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the East Palace.
Lu Chengen carried a blood-dripping sword, blood flowed from his chest, and a hideous wound was broken.
He looked slightly embarrassed, and the aura on his body was extremely chaotic, sometimes strong and sometimes weak.
Since the last time he performed the "Heavenly Demon Disintegration Dafa", his injuries have not fully recovered, and now they are obviously aggravated.
Shen Du stared at him with frowns and didn't say a word.
This injury cannot be faked......
It's just that it's all too much of a coincidence.
He always felt that the prince should not be such a careless person.
Seeing everyone coming, Lu Chengen glanced at everyone coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the whole city is under martial law, and from now on, no one is allowed to step into the East Palace." ”
"Violators, behead!"
Hearing Lu Chengen say this, everyone looked at each other and had no choice but to give up.
"Yes!"
It's just that everyone can't help but have a doubt in their hearts.
What happened to the prince?
It's just that Lu Chengen is a close attendant of the East Palace after all, and at such a critical moment, no one dares to ask anything.
Shen Du looked at Lu Chengen deeply, didn't say anything more, just turned around and left.
Although the assassination of Donggong did not spread widely, it still fell into the ears of many people.
For a time, many officials in the DPRK and China asked to see them, but they were all rejected by the guards of the East Palace.
Even the elders of the cabinet were turned away.
Some of these people are sincere, while some of them have already given birth to other thoughts.
For a while, the atmosphere in Beijing also became weird.
Shen Du returned to the Gyeonggi Helm, as if he had forgotten the matter, and continued to arrest officials.
……
northern
Xiongwu Pass.
On the desolate land, heavy snow covered the sky and fell a thick layer.
The majestic Xiongguan that stands on the ground seems to be blended into the vast snow.
This place is the border between the Yan Kingdom and the Northern Barbarians, and there are 200,000 male soldiers here.
These 200,000 male soldiers are all the elite iron cavalry of the Yan Kingdom, and they have been guarding this place for decades.
It is precisely because of the existence of this Xiongguan that the northern barbarians cannot go south.
If this pass is broken, the Northern Barbarian army will be driven straight into the land of Gyeonggi.
As for other regions, even if the Northern Barbarians invade, they would need to pass through various state capitals, and the battle line would be too long, and the cost would be huge.
With this pass, you can support everywhere at any time, and at the same time, you can also go forward and go straight into the hinterland of the Northern Barbarians.
If the Northern Barbarians really sent a large number of troops to Rao Dao, the soldiers and horses here could break through the Northern Barbarian Royal Court in two days.
In addition to this level, there are countless bunkers in the nearby borderlands, which are responsible for the warning effect.
"Boom!"
At this moment, a violent roar was heard from the distant earth.
The earth trembled!
Heavy snow is blowing!
The howling wind and snow seemed to be dispersed.
In the snowstorm, a vague figure of a rider slowly emerged, and an iron-blooded evil aura swept in.
"Wow!"
"Hohoo!"
The roar of the shouts drowned out one after another.
"Phew!"
"Oooo
Above the Xiongguan, the melodious bell was ringed.
"The Northern Barbarians are coming!"
"The Northern Barbarians are coming!"
Hysterical roars echoed above the city walls.
The beacon of the herald was lit, and smoke was ablaze.
Countless soldiers climbed the city wall and watched vigilantly at the army emerging in the distance.
The sound of armor clashing sounded.
A burly, majestic figure walked briskly onto the city wall.
Along the way, many soldiers saluted.
This person is the general of the majestic military pass here, and he is the master of this 200,000-strong army.
Looking at the dense soldiers under the city, Lu Yange's pupils shrank sharply.
Under the Xiongguan, the eight flags gathered!
Beiban Babu!
"General, what do you want to do here?"
The lieutenant general on the side looked shocked.
It's not that I haven't fought with the Northern Barbarians in the past, but they are all small forces.
They are training, and the Northern Barbarians are also training, but there are 200,000 people who are here today.
These were the elite soldiers of the Golden Horde.
The key moment is the Eastern Season, and everyone knows that this is not a good time to start the war.
At this time, in the Northern Barbarian army, a figure slowly rode out, the burly body was draped in a tiger beast robe, and he held a large knife nearly two meters long in one hand, and the evil qi overflowed.
Lu Yangge's pupils shrank, and he exclaimed: "King Li, Yeluqi, Northern Barbarian Left Valley!" ”
Yeluqi, as the king of the Northern Barbarian Left Valley, controls most of the soldiers and horses of the Northern Barbarian Royal Court.
The reason why the Wanyan clan of the Golden Horde was able to have extremely high dominance over the eight tribes was because of the strong soldiers and horses of the Golden Horde.
"Haha!"
Yeluqi laughed and said, "Lu Yange, meet again!" ”
Lu Madge said coldly: "Yeluqi, with me, you Beiban don't want to take a step into this place." ”
Yeluqi laughed, shook his head, and said, "General Lu, you are wrong. ”
"This king is here just to catch up with you."
Up?
Lu Madge sneered in his heart, did he bring 100,000 soldiers and horses to reminisce?
Jeruqi did not mean to explain much, but ordered the generals to camp ten miles away.
Seeing that the Northern Barbarian army began to set up camp, everyone in the city was puzzled.
Lu Yangge stared intently into the distance, his brows furrowed.
In the past, when the northern barbarians went south, they all raided the surrounding area with lightning speed, but this time it was unusual.
……
At the same time, at the junction of Western Chu and Yan Kingdom, before the Wind Pass, the same scene was also being staged.
The mighty march of the Western Chu army set off the yellow sand in the sky.
Shen Dingzhi stood on the city wall, looking at the dense army, with a solemn expression.
What does Xichu want to do?
After the Western Chu army came to Sufeng Pass ten miles away, it no longer moved forward, but began to set up camp.
This scene fell in Shen Dingzhi's eyes, which made him even more puzzled.
"No...... right"
Shen Dingzhi's face changed suddenly, and an idea suddenly appeared inexplicably in his heart.
Xi Chu would never send a large army here for no reason, and this posture did not look like a siege, but more like a deterrent.
He couldn't leave this place, and under normal circumstances, he would never leave the Wind Trail unless......
"There is a change in Beijing!"
Shen Dingzhi blurted out, and his face became extremely ugly in an instant.
Shen Dingzhi looked at the deputy general on the side and said in a deep voice: "Tell the nightingale and let them find out the information in Beijing as soon as possible." ”
……
Xiazhou,
This place, like Suzhou, is also the capital of the border state, close to Western Chu.
The only difference is that the geographical location of this place is not as important as that of Sufeng Pass.
And the current gatekeeper here is the king of Jing'an, Xia Xingrui.
Inside the Commander's Mansion,
Xia Xingrui, who was sitting alone in a chair, looked at the information in his hand and exhaled heavily.
Yanjing has changed dramatically!
Four simple words, but he understands what it means.
He knew very well in his heart that once he took this step, there would be no turning back.
Although it was not a real rebellion, it was basically the same as a rebellion.
"Father, we have been preparing for so long, what are you hesitating about?"
"What's more, didn't that person already give the news, Emperor Yan had already had a problem."
"As long as you give the order, your old subordinates will definitely follow you."
Xia Ming said with a gloomy expression: "Father, so far, even if you are unwilling, the prince will never let us go afterwards." ”
"Reaching out is also a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife!"
"Don't forget about the little sister, the prince sent you here for a lowly mud leg, and let the little sister ground, why?"
"It's obvious that they were unkind first, so don't blame us for being unjust."
He knew that his father had some scruples.
Therefore, he had to add another fire to help his father make this determination.
"Bang!"
Xia Xingrui slammed his fist on the table, his eyes were cold, he slowly got up, and said in a deep voice: "Order the whole army!" ”
"Open up, go back to Beijing!"
"King Qin!"
He knew that from this moment on, there would be no turning back.
It's a matter of success or failure!
Sorry, it was Carvin yesterday, so there was no update. Happy Tanabata everyone!
