249, eight hundred miles expedited
Eight hundred miles expedited
"Eight hundred miles expedited!"
"Eight hundred miles expedited!"
"Urgent military intelligence!"
The sun was about to set, and at this moment, on the street outside Yanjing City, a messenger in the army riding a fast horse rode over, constantly waving his horsewhip and roaring hysterically.
The days of running made his face bloodless, his face was pale, and he was even more shaky, as if he would fall off the horse in the next moment.
This voice instantly attracted everyone around, and countless people looked at the figure of the horse in the distance, their faces full of surprise.
"What's going on? It took 800 miles of urgent letters......"
"It can't be something wrong, right?"
"Nonsense, it's not a big deal worth using eight hundred urgent letters."
"I'm afraid the world is going to be chaotic."
Everyone talked about it, and they were extremely curious about this matter.
The visitor went straight to the outside of the East Palace, then turned over from the horse and dismounted, and then raised the urgent letter in his hand and rushed to the outside of the palace gate.
"Eight Hundred Miles Urgent Letter ......"
"Present to Your Highness!"
The last voice fell, and the person who came had already fainted, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
The guards stationed in front of the East Palace looked at each other, looked at the tokens and urgent letters in the hands of the comers, and were suddenly startled.
The crowd did not dare to be careless, and several of them carried the messenger down, while another hurried into the palace and went to pay a respect.
……
Gyeonggi General Rudder,
Shen Du was processing official documents when an attendant from the East Palace suddenly broke in sweating.
"Lord Shen!"
The person who came bowed, knelt on the ground, held up the token, and said respectfully: "My lord, on the order of Gonggong Lu, I have come to invite you to the East Palace." ”
Shen Du frowned and glanced at the token in the little eunuch's hand.
"What did Grandpa Lu say?"
"Nope."
"Father-in-law Lu said that please be sure to go as soon as possible."
Shen Du didn't delay any longer, summoned Cheng Zhenlei and others, and after explaining, he immediately set off for the East Palace.
As soon as Shen Du arrived at the East Palace, he noticed something unusual.
The entire East Palace has long been covered with guards from the East Palace, with three steps and one post, and there are constantly patrols, as if they are in a state of martial law.
Shen Du came all the way to the front hall, and as soon as he stepped in, he saw Lu Chengen frowning and holding a letter in his hand.
Hearing the footsteps, Lu Chengen raised his head with a solemn face, looked at Shen Du, and said in a deep voice: "I just got the stepped up military report, King Jing'an...... Troops! ”
"Not only the king of Jing'an, but also the four marquis who were stationed abroad, and the eight state families raised troops at the same time, gathered 500,000 soldiers and horses, and declared that the prince was killed, and he wanted to enter the king of Jingqin and support the unification."
Lu Chengen said, handing the information in his hand to Shen Du.
Although the soldiers and horses of the state capital in the army of 500,000 are not to be feared, the border army under the command of King Jing'an is the border army, and many of them are private soldiers raised by various families.
The treatment and training of these private soldiers are not much worse than those of Dayan's regular soldiers and horses.
Shen Du didn't look at the information, but stared at Lu Chengen with his eyes like a torch, and asked, "What does Your Highness say?" ”
Regarding this, he had actually expected it in his heart, so he was not too surprised.
The resumption of the Jingcha incident is nothing more than two situations.
It's just that they dare to raise troops......
I'm afraid that I got some news and knew that there should be something wrong with Emperor Yan's retreat, otherwise I would never be so bold.
I didn't expect these people to act so quickly.
Lu Chengen sighed, glanced at Shen Du, there was a trace of sadness in his eyes, and he stopped talking.
"Lord Shen, come with me."
Shen Du frowned and followed Lu Chengen.
Lu Chengen led Shen Du all the way to a temple at the back of the East Palace, and stretched out his hand to push open a house.
Before Shen Du stepped into the room, he felt a bone-chilling air.
When Lu Chengen pushed the door open, he was greeted by a huge ice coffin.
The cold is slowly overflowing!
Shen Du's pupils shrank sharply.
Lying in the coffin is the crown prince Xia Jingyi.
Lu Chengen bowed and saluted, and then explained to Shen Du: "When His Highness was attacked, his life was in danger, and I had no choice but to temporarily put His Highness in this coffin and temporarily seal the lifeline. ”
"This coffin is a treasure collected by the Northern Barbarians at the beginning, Heavenly Spirit Xuanbing, which has a miraculous effect."
"Just when will I be able to wake up......"
Lu Chengen didn't say the second half of the sentence.
"So now I can only invite Lord Shen to come."
"Once they learn about this, I'm afraid there will be turmoil in Beijing as well."
Shen Du looked at the ice coffin intently, then looked at Lu Chengen, and said in a deep voice: "How many soldiers and horses can the East Palace mobilize at present?" ”
Lu Chengen pondered for a moment and said: "At present, in addition to the East Palace guard, there are still three soldiers and horses: Long Xiangwei, Right Wuwei, and Left Banner Guard, with a total of 80,000 soldiers and horses. ”
Shen Du said in a deep voice: "We must send people to mobilize this soldier and horse as soon as possible to take over the city gate, seal the city gate, and prevent the army outside the city from entering Beijing." ”
Fortunately, some time ago, the East Palace was attacked, the capital was under martial law, and everywhere was blocked.
Moreover, the guards of the East Palace have already been transferred to the city and have taken the lead.
As long as the city gate is taken, even if someone really has two hearts, at least the army will not be able to enter the city for a short time.
Still, he was worried.
King Jing'an's rebellion was by no means a whim, but should have received the news of the attack on the Jingdong Palace.
I'm afraid that during this time, these people in Beijing have already arranged for a large number of people to mix into Beijing.
These people are hidden everywhere, and once they get together, it's definitely a huge nuisance.
And the news reached Beijing
Lu Chengen nodded and said, "I'll let someone go." ”
Shen Du threw out the edict given by the prince at the beginning, and said: "Let the guards of the East Palace take over the city gate first, and say to the outside world that you will track down the thief who committed the assassination." ”
……
Chengguo Mansion.
At the moment when the eight-hundred-mile expedited military report was delivered to the East Palace, a secret letter was also sent to the Chengguo Mansion.
Looking at the information in his hand, a cold light suddenly bloomed in Yue Wu's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Tell them that the opportunity has come." ”
"Just go according to plan!"
Below the hall, a masked man in black bowed his hand, and his figure disappeared in an instant.
Yue Wu got up slowly, walked to the window and looked at the dim starry sky, his deep pupils seemed to be burning with flames, and his face turned cold.
It's a matter of success or failure!
……
Just when everyone was discussing the matter of the eight-hundred-mile urgency, everyone suddenly found that a large number of guards belonging to the East Palace appeared on the street.
These guards of the East Palace took over the city gates in a short period of time.
Now that the crown prince is in charge of the Yan Kingdom after all, he is the nominal supervisor of the country, so there is no obstacle.
The next day, a piece of news began to circulate among the upper echelons of the imperial court.
King Jing'an has raised his army!
Not only the King of Jing'an, but also the eight states raised troops at the same time, and now they have gathered 500,000 soldiers and horses and are heading straight for Kyoto.
Although under the banner of King Qin, everyone knows that his purpose is obviously more than that.
For a while, the officials were panicked.
In front of the East Palace,
Horse-drawn carriages came quickly, and there were many generals on horseback.
The carriage stopped in front of the East Palace, and a court dignitary stepped down from it.
Cabinet First Assistant Yan Ziqing.
Cabinet Deputy Assistant Yoo Seung-chi.
Six books!
and hundreds of civil and military officials who are above the fourth grade in Beijing.
They came here for only one purpose, to meet the prince!
As long as the crown prince comes forward, all rumors will be self-defeating, and the matter of King Jing'an raising troops to serve the king will become a joke.
Of course, if the crown prince really can't come forward, it will be a different result.
They had already complained about the prince, but now that they came, they were more tempted.
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
The guards on duty in the East Palace directly stretched out their hands to stop everyone, without the slightest intention of letting them go.
"Presumptuous!"
Liu Chengzhi swept over everyone with cold eyes, and shouted angrily: "This official is the cabinet elder, asking to see His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
"If you miss the major affairs of the court, can you afford it?"
As soon as the words fell, the door of the East Palace slowly opened.
The crowd immediately looked up.
It's just that they didn't see Xia Jingyi appear as they imagined, but a figure that made them gnash their teeth.
Shen Du sat on the chair with a golden knife, holding the snow drinking knife in both hands, looking at everyone with indifferent eyes, and said calmly: "Without the order of His Highness, no one is allowed to step into this place!" ”
