Because the wedding date of Duke Qi and Princess Ningde is getting closer and closer, the nerves of the officials and people in the capital have become increasingly tense.

What followed was the frequent occurrence of all kinds of strange things in the capital.

First of all, the notorious deputy commander of Jinyiwei made Xu Xianchun disappear, of course, the disappearance is the statement of Jinyiwei's propaganda to the outside world, the actual situation, most people already know that if they can be taken away directly from the house, then they will obviously not let you come back alive - so blatant, just to deter Xiaoxiao, as for who is Xiaoxiao, then who knows it.

Then there is the strange sound of the heavenly dog eating the moon in the capital recently, the sky is dark and there is no light, and everyone is afraid, which leads to rumors everywhere in the capital, among which there is a sentence that is widely spread: the extreme north is now too white, the black dog swallows the bright moon, the heavens and people come to the east, and Kyushu boils when it is reversed.

Syllable!!!

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao threw the secret report in his hand like a palace and slid directly in front of Tian Ergeng, who was kneeling not far away.

"Commander Tian, you should explain to me, what does this mean? Xu Xianchun's matter has not yet been concluded, and rumors are spreading in this capital, how did you do this errand? ”

Zhu Youxiao was obviously a little angry, because the range of movements was too large, and the jade crown on the top of his head was a little crooked.

In the face of the emperor's questioning, Tian Ergeng was obviously a little prepared, and the guard, who had been immersed in Jinyiwei for more than ten years, first bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger, Xu Xianchun's disappearance case, the lower officials have investigated it clearly, and most of the current evidence points to Xiangguo Temple outside Beijing, and the presiding officer of Xiangguo Temple has a great relationship with this case!" ”

God is pitiful, Xu Xianchun went to Xiangguo Temple two days before he disappeared, mainly to place his concubine outside the temple, so that his family tryst Now, Tian Ergeng is obviously fabricating evidence in order to involve the Donglin Party.

The host of Xiangguo Temple is Shi Kefa's benefactor when he first entered Beijing for the exam, and now he is a friend for many years.

Da da da.

Zhu Youxiao's mood was very irritable, obviously Tian Ergeng's answer did not satisfy the emperor: "What about those rumors?"

Kowtowing three more times, Tian Er Gengcai said: "Your Majesty, the people are ignorant and always willing to believe some nonsense, and recently coincided with the princess's wedding, and the Duke of Qi returned to Beijing, there are always people who want to make some waves in order to stir up the troubled waters and take advantage of the opportunity." ”

Nonsense?

Hearing Tian Ergeng's words, Zhu Youxiao laughed angrily: "Nonsense? In three days, let these rumors disappear! Who would dare to mention it! Regarded as a chaotic party! Raid his home and go to prison! ”

"The lower officials obey the order!" Tian Ergeng bowed his head and obeyed.

"Let's go down!" With a wave of his hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse leaned back on the imperial chair, closed his eyes as if he was extremely tired, and his chest fell together.

Raising his eyes to look at Wei Zhongxian, who was standing aside and waiting, Tian Ergeng bowed down again before slowly retreating.

In the hall, there was silence for a while.

After a stick of incense.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse had a hoarse voice and closed his eyes, not knowing who he was asking: "Before the Duke of Qi returns to Beijing, can the rebellious people in Pingyang City be exterminated?" ”

Wei Zhongxian, who had been standing aside and waiting for orders at any time, hesitated for a moment before bowing down and saying, "Your Majesty, presumably the good news will soon reach the capital." ”

After all, Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou have been sending troops for nearly a month, and now there is no one related to the war except for the recital of reorganizing the soldiers and horses and marching to the city.

Zhu Youxiao had already taken this battle as an important step to weaken the influence of the Duke of Qi.

There is no room for loss in this battle, especially on the eve of Qi Guogong's upcoming return to Beijing!

"I hope that before the Duke of Qi returns to Beijing, the good news can arrive in the capital, so that the people of the world can also take a look, without the Duke of Qi, there are other generals in the court!"

The affairs of the world are not indispensable to the Duke of Qi!

"Slave maid first congratulates Your Majesty!" Wei Zhongxian sent a sycophant in time: "At that time, the four seas will be calm, and the government and the opposition will be united, and the trend of the Ming Dynasty will be completed!" ”

"I hope so," looking at the hazy sky outside the hall, Zhu Youxiao's heart was apprehensive.

————

Shanxi Mansion, Pingyang City.

The remnant sun is like blood, and the eyes are full of scorched earth.

The defeated Ming army left the corpse on the ground and retreated again, and the corresponding was the head of the city of Pingyang Prefecture, which was a high-spirited high-character banner camp and a Luozi banner, and the center of the city head was the army used by the king himself.

The peasant army, which was regarded as a chaotic people by the Ming court, obviously gained momentum after the battle of Pingyang Mansion.

I haven't seen him for many days, and he has always planned the house in the past, and his robes are clean, and Hong Chengchou, who is known as a celebrity doctor, is already haggard, with messy stubble, and his robe is torn in many places.

"If it weren't for the portal's private plan, why would it be so defeated!" Hong Chengchou was unwilling to hammer the wood with his hand, his voice was hoarse and helpless, and he was even a little aggrieved.

Behind him, Sun Chuanting also stood there, pursing his lips tightly, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

These days, the words that can be said, the methods that can be thought of, and the efforts that can be made have been tried, and Sun Chuanting has long been desperate for the outcome of this battle.

"Yan Yan, the matter has come to this, go north first, and then make a long-term plan, right?" Sun Chuanting walked behind Hong Chengchou and wanted to comfort his colleagues.

"Yuan element, haven't arrived yet?" Hong Chengchou didn't move, just asked with resentment.

To say that the biggest mistake in this battle is to misjudge the combat effectiveness of the opposing armies, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting are mainly responsible for this matter, but on the other side, Yuan Chonghuan's troops, did not arrive at the round location on time, so that when the battle was anxious, the Ming army was attacked from the flank, and the battle that had begun to dawn turned into a rout.

In this matter, Hong Chengchou will never forgive Yuan Chonghuan.

"Do you want to write a note of explanation to the court?" Sun Chuanting asked tentatively.

"Explain?" Hong Chengchou smiled, full of anger: "This time, if you don't behead Yuan Chonghuan, in order to comfort the officers and soldiers who died in Pingyang City, Hong will be the overseer in vain!" ”

While the two were talking, the herald suddenly arrived on a horse from a distance.

"Report! Meet the two adults," the cavalry turned over and dismounted, and bowed to Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting: "Lord Yuan has led more than 10,000 troops to Jicheng and march towards Fushan!" ”

"The battle is rout, there is no way to save it, but he rode his horse leisurely, what is the major affairs of the military state? Is it child's play? Hong Chengchou clenched the long sword at his waist: "Go!" Summoning Yuan Chonghuan! Ben Shuai has something to ask! ”

Sun Chuanting, who was standing on the side, drooped his eyelids, looked at the sword at Hong Chengchou's waist, and subconsciously said, "Yan Yan, why is this so?" ”

Is this a private knife soldier?

Pressing the long sword on his waist, Hong Chengchou's eyes were gloomy: "Today, if this person is not corrected, then tomorrow in the court will be the death date of the two of us!" ”

Everyone knows the fighting methods of Donglin and the eunuchs in the court today.

If this battle is transmitted to the court, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting will bear the brunt of the punishment.

Then, killing Yuan Chonghuan and putting the blame on the dead is the best solution!
