Edict of Prison.

At this time, the edict was already overcrowded.

Whether it is a prison or an ordinary cell, it is all full of people at this time.

The Eunuch Party, the Hou Party, and the Dongzhu Party, the officials of these three parties, plus the relatives and families of some party officials, were crammed to the brim.

If you are below the fifth grade, you are not even eligible to enter the prison.

And even in the midst of this edict, the officials of the three parties still call each other by their official titles, and at the same time they are divided into three distinct factions.

The people of the Dongzhu Party and the Hou Party are okay, although they occasionally look at each other, at most they scold a few words.

But in the face of the eunuchs, the officials of the Dongzhu Party and the Hou Party were not so polite, and they fought directly, and their hair was messed up.

Fortunately, there were many eunuch officials when they were in the court, and now there are also many people in this prison.

And there are also some military generals who practice martial arts themselves.

For a while, it was difficult to solve.

On weekdays, everyone is in different cells, but every time I go to the atrium in the morning to let off steam, it is when the enemy is very red when they meet, and there is inevitably a fight.

Anyway, everyone said that their side was the one who was loyal to the monarch and worried about the country and the people, and the other party was a proper rebel and a traitor.

At this time, a Jinyi guard's prison was carrying a bucket of vegetable porridge and was walking towards the prison.

As he walked, he knocked on the wooden spoon in his hand and shouted:

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat!"

In the surrounding cells, the officials who were originally gentle and elegant hurriedly rushed to the door of the cell with the iron bowl in their hands and stretched out their hands to receive the porridge.

When they first arrived at the Imperial Prison, these adults were still quite holding shelves, for fear of losing face in front of their colleagues.

However, after eating clear water and vegetable leaves and coarse grains for a few days, the hunger in their stomachs instantly reminded them that they were a person, and people had to eat.

After being hungry all night, a bowl of vegetable porridge in the morning was much sweeter than any delicacies from the mountains and seas in their eyes.

In the face of hunger, there is no face.

The porridge in the wooden spoon was poured into the bowls, and many people immediately pulled the bowls back and began to sigh and drink.

The whole prison was filled with the sound of snoring and drinking porridge, as if coming to a pigsty.

Soon, this prison has come to the innermost part of the prison, and in this cell is the former cabinet first assistant scholar Xu Wen Xu Ge, as well as some other important ministers of the Dongzhu Party.

At this time, Xu Wen was leaning against the pillar of the cell to close his eyes and recuperate, and when he heard that the prison that delivered the food was coming, he didn't move a bit.

"It's time to eat." The cell slammed the pillar of the cell with a wooden spoon and said impatiently.

Cai Huazhang, the former priest of the country, immediately carefully took a bowl of vegetable porridge, held it in front of Xu Wen, and said respectfully:

"Elder Ge."

Xu Wen took the porridge bowl and took a big sip, and the beard on his lips was soaked in the bowl.

At this moment, while scooping porridge, the prisoner lowered his head and whispered behind Xu Wen:

"General Han has sent news that he has connected with the Zhenbei Army and the Xuanwu Army, and the troops will come to the city today, and the soldiers in the city have also made preparations, just waiting for the instructions of the elder Ge. There is no way to be faint, and the killing is natural, and the families in the city have long complained. ”

After a pause, he continued:

"News from this family, He Xingzu has reached the realm of the Grandmaster of the Transformation Realm, and the Xuanwu Festival has made Dong Chaoxin welcome a new worship, and the exercises are unpredictable."

Xu Wen nodded calmly and said:

"Good. The emperor killed Enhai, exterminated the eunuch party, and put my Dongzhu party and Hou party officials in prison. ”

"At that time, let the soldiers of each family start an incident, open the city gate, and welcome the Bohai wolf soldiers into the city, and the big thing can be accomplished."

Hearing this, Sun Wei, a cabinet scholar in the same cell, Cui Zhen, a scholar of the Ministry of Industry, and Cai Huazhang, the priest of the country, couldn't help but praise in a low voice, and excitement appeared in their eyes.

Although they didn't think that the emperor really dared to kill them, this kind of behavior of directly sending them to prison and raiding their homes was really unbearable.

This is not the face of their Dongzhu Party, but the face of the nine surnames and ten clans of the world's most prominent clans!

Since the emperor is so insulting to Sven, then don't blame them for the ruthlessness of the Dongzhu Party!

Immediately afterwards, I heard Xu Wen suddenly cough, and said in an amplified voice:

"This ...... Official, how about another bowl of porridge for the old man? ”

The prisoner nodded, then tapped the pillar with a spoon and shouted:

"You old man, do you still think this is above the court? What is the first assistant and what is the book, all of them are a spoonful of porridge, is there more! ”

Then he threw the spoon back into the bucket and swaggered out of the prison.

Hearing the conversation here, some eunuch officials in the other cells immediately burst into laughter and mocked:

"I didn't expect that the dignified cabinet first assistant scholar and the leader of the Dongzhu Party are worth this spoonful of vegetable porridge!"

"Elder Xu Ge, you often call us traitors in private on weekdays, why did you Qing Party also go to prison?"

"Hehe, don't set up that archway when you become a bitch, the emperor doesn't recognize the archway of this chaste martyr, and he doesn't treat you as a bitch!"

“……”

In the midst of a burst of laughter, the officials of the Dongzhu Party immediately ridiculed each other, and finally brought in the officials of the Hou Party, setting off a war of scolding in this edict.

Only Xu Wen still looked indifferent, sitting with his back against the pillar of the cell, gently raising his fingers to beat on his knees, and humming in a low voice:

“…… Fathers and sons are loyal and brave to serve the country, the golden sand beach fights desperately and the devils cry and are terrified, the sons and daughters are ambitious and hateful, and the yellow sand is stained with blue blood and the mighty spirit lasts forever......"

At the same time, the prison had already carried the bucket out of the prison, and immediately heard the rapid sound of gongs and drums outside, and it was the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division who sounded the alarm, asking the people in the city to immediately take the market as a unit, and send young and strong laborers to the city to work as people's husbands to transport supplies.

The gates of the city around the capital were slowly closing at this time, and teams of soldiers and horses were moving frequently on the streets.

On the northern wall, a team of crossbowmen was speeding through the city.

Looking to the north, I saw that in the dim morning light, on the horizon in the distance, was a thick fog that had risen since last night.

At this time, the fog slowly dissipated, and groups of cavalry were slowly appearing.

The sound of hooves rumbled, the flags were hunting, the spears in their hands were shining, and the metal armor on the horses also shone with metallic luster in the sunlight.

The 10,000 mounted cavalry in the center are all wearing heavy iron armor, and the chain armor is also worn on the horses, plus the spears with two rods in the hands of the cavalrymen, it is the strongest Tiefutu heavy cavalry in the Zhenbei Army!

It's like a forest of steel.

On the red flags, there is the eye-catching word "Zhenbei".

And in the center of these flags, there is a big 纛 (dao\), on which is written "Zhenbei General He".

On both sides of this big banner, there are two equally huge flags, which are written "Qingjun Side" and "Zuoming Lord".

Seeing this scene, a soldier on the city wall who was guarding the direct army couldn't help but shudder and muttered:

"It's ...... Iron Float! It's the Iron Floating Massacre of the Zhenbei Army! It is said that this iron floating slaughter is indestructible, and no grass grows in the place it passes...... It seems that this legend is true......"

Another soldier next to him patted him on the head angrily and said:

"What's the panic? We have a total of 200,000 defenders in the capital, and the northern army of this town is only 80,000 when it is full, and it is still a siege, no matter how powerful his Tiefutu is, can he still rush to the city wall? ”

As he was talking, he saw another figure emerging from the horizon in the northeast of the capital, and as far as the eye could see, it was only a little less than the people of the Zhenbei Army.

At least 60,000 or 70,000 people!

Most of these people are infantry, and the cavalry is only a few thousand, but the clothes on those soldiers, as well as the spears, knives and round shields in their hands, are obviously elite, and they are very similar to the pro-army guards who defend the city.

These people walked neatly and like the wind, and they were obviously all elite divisions after refining!

At the beginning, there were two faces, one was the "Governor of the Left Army", and the other was written with the big word "Han".

The Left Army Governor's Mansion, the Korean Dragon Department!

The soldiers defending the city, who were still comforting their colleagues just now, couldn't help but be stunned, and then their eyes widened and they swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Just as he was about to give himself a mouth and scold himself for a crow's mouth, he heard a commotion and commotion among the soldiers guarding the city, and many of them raised their hands to the northwest.

He immediately looked up in the northwest direction, and saw that there was also a military formation.

The soldiers in this formation were all dressed in black armor, and their spears were hung with white spears.

Rows of longbowmen and crossbowmen were densely packed, making up almost a third of the entire military formation.

The rest are sword formations with long-handled Mo knives, and sword and shield soldiers with sword and shield guards.

On both flanks of the formation at the same time were light cavalry of about 10,000 men, all of whom carried short bows and spears on their backs.

In the center of this military formation, there is a large black scroll with large blood-red characters written on it:

Xuanwu!

This is the 100,000 Xuanwu army under the command of Dong Chao, the envoy of the Xuanwu Festival!

Seeing this scene, on the city wall, a group of soldiers defending the city couldn't help but stir up instantly.

Before, they had also heard news from their superiors that several rebels were coming to the capital from different directions.

But how did this arrive at the same time!?

In the center of the city wall, Li Yun looked at the scene in front of him surrounded by a group of commanders, couldn't help but smile, and said lightly:

"Interesting."

Since the day before yesterday, a heavy fog has risen outside the city, and many of the scouts who have been released have not returned.

It turned out to be to cover the confluence of these three rebels.

At this time, he could feel that as the mist gradually dissipated, the residual water vapor drifted over, and he could smell a hint of fishy sweetness.

It's somewhat similar to the aura of the bloody Dafa used by the Jade Xuzi who was killed by him before.

Immediately said loudly:

"Everyone, love Qing, and follow me to the royal expedition!"
