Emperors of the Heavens: Summon the Governor of the East Factory at the beginning

Chapter 50: Army confrontation, Jiang Rui’s plan exposed

The city guards were all under the control of Su Zhidao, and Su Zhidao obeyed Chu Yuan's orders. Naturally, they would not let the soldiers of the two armies enter the city just because of some imperial order.

Therefore, when the generals and captains of the Tiger Guard and Beiya Army shouted loudly, there was silence on the entire city wall without any response.

"We all came under the emperor's order. If you delay, can you be held accountable by His Majesty?!"

The generals of the two armies under the city wall were obviously angry at this moment.

"His Majesty was assassinated by an assassin the day before yesterday and unfortunately passed away. Now the whole city is under martial law. At this moment, you are leading an army of 20 to the city. What on earth do you want!"

Su Zhidao received Chu Yuan's signal and shouted angrily, which soon spread under the city wall.

"Wow—"

……

After these words were spread, the officers and soldiers of both armies were in an uproar.

Even the generals of the two armies, Wang Sheng and Yuan Peng, looked at each other with shock.

After they received the order to kill the traitor King Zhenbei, they quickly prepared themselves for the starry night march, and it could be said that they did not waste any more time.

But now when they arrived in the capital, they were told that His Majesty had encountered an accident, which made them anxious for a while.

They were all the confidants of Emperor Jiang Rui. Before Jiang Rui succeeded to the throne, they followed him.

Otherwise, Jiang Rui would not have thought of them immediately when he needed to use his strength to kill the rebellious ministers.

If His Majesty really dies, won't they have no backer?
"Who are you?"

Wang Sheng and Yuan Peng suppressed their uneasiness and shouted loudly.

"I am Su Zhidao, the commander of the city guards!"

Commander of the City Guards...

Wang Sheng and Yuan Peng's expressions softened slightly. At this moment, they had no time to question the truth of Su Zhidao's statement about His Majesty's death. After entering the city, they went to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit and knew the truth.

Therefore, the two of them bowed their hands in the direction of Su Zhidao with solemn expressions, and said loudly:

"Commander Su, your Majesty issued an edict to us a few days ago."

"The edict is here. We are all under the emperor's order to reinforce the capital. If Commander Su doesn't believe it, we can verify the authenticity!"

Wang Sheng and Yuan Peng both responded loudly.

And Chu Yuan nodded when he heard it.

Su Zhidao immediately signaled, and soon soldiers dropped a hanging basket from the wall of the capital.

Wang Sheng and Yuan Peng did not doubt that he was there, and ordered the soldiers to put all the imperial edicts in their hands into the basket.

As the hanging basket rose, two imperial edicts covered with dragon patterns and Cangtian Temple patterns soon appeared in front of the officials.

The ministers are no strangers to the authenticity of the imperial edict.

The two imperial edicts in front of me seem to be genuine. Could it be that they are really the edicts issued by His Majesty before?

But why have I never heard His Majesty mention it?

Besides, there are no enemy troops in the capital now. How could 20 troops be mobilized in one fell swoop to come to the rescue?

Except for a few people who knew about it, all the other ministers looked puzzled.

At this moment, Chu Yuan had already taken the imperial edict in his hands.

Spreading out one of them, Chu Yuan glanced at it from top to bottom, but there was nothing strange on his face.

It wasn't until he did the same thing and read another copy that Chu Yuan's face showed a hint of indifference and mockery.

"Distribute these two holy orders to all the ministers for inspection."

"Yes!"

……

Chu Yuan's expression and the contents of the imperial edict made the ministers feel as if they were being scratched.

At this moment, they heard that Chu Yuan actually ordered them to watch the holy decree.

This made Baiguan come over in an instant.

At this moment, Zhang Yuanbo also turned his head and scanned everything.

"This……"

After Zhang Yuanbo read the two imperial decrees, he froze in place, and his mind was filled with the contents of the imperial decree he had just seen.

He never expected that Jiang Rui would dare to mobilize a large army to Beijing to deal with King Zhenbei.

Aren't you afraid that the millions of troops under King Zhenbei will rebel?

And he, the current prime minister, didn’t even know about such a big thing!
In fact, Jiang Rui originally wanted to inform him, but when faced with Chu Yuan's attack in the court that day, Zhang Yuanbo, as the prime minister, was indifferent.

That's why Jiang Rui didn't want to inform Zhang Yuanbo to discuss this matter.

At the same time, all the officials on the city wall also read it one by one, and their reactions were even worse than Zhang Yuanbo's.

"This……"

"This is His Majesty's decree, and there is a jade seal on it."

"But this content... actually wants to encircle and suppress Zhenbei Prince's Mansion..."

"His Majesty secretly mobilized the Huwei and Beiya armies to come to the capital for the purpose of...actually to suppress and kill...the King of Zhenbei..."

"hiss--"

……

There was an uproar on the city wall, followed by a gasp of air.

Everyone looked at Chu Yuan, who was still standing coldly on the city wall, and then recalled that he was suddenly summoned to the city wall for no reason today.

Could this be the big drama that the other party said?
The ministers didn't know how to describe their mood at this moment. At this moment, no one could guess Chu Yuan's purpose or what he was thinking.

"Ho ho..."

"Jiang Rui thinks highly of me, and wants to send 20 troops to surround and kill me!"

Chu Yuan spoke calmly and spread his words outside the city wall without any intention of concealing his identity.

Even though he had already heard about this from Su Zhidao, after reading the chilling words all over the imperial edict.

Chu Yuan could still feel Jiang Rui's murderous intention and determination.

If he is really surrounded by this 20 army, if he takes human life to fill it, and if he is restrained by the master of the Lingxian Pavilion, I am afraid that even he will not be able to survive under the siege of this torrent of army.

It's a pity that Chu Yuan has endured it for so many years. Once he uses his sword, he will definitely return with blood. Although Jiang Rui is ruthless, he is not as ruthless as himself after all!

Chu Yuan called Jiang Rui by his first name, and some "rebellious and unethical" words sounded on the city wall, making Wang Sheng and Yuan Peng slightly stunned for a moment.

this sound...

The person on the city wall is the King of Zhenbei!
The two of them turned pale with shock, they really did not expect that the imperial decree given to them by His Majesty would be known by the parties in this way.

How should this make them behave?
In fact, in the final analysis, this matter cannot be completely blamed on Wang Sheng and Yuan Peng for being reckless.

This was the order given by His Majesty to the two of them, and they just obeyed the order.

Jiang Rui was confident that he could control everything, so he didn't reveal all his plans to Wang Sheng and Yuan Penghe.

According to Jiang Rui's original plan, he planned to wait until the soldiers of the two armies arrived not far from the capital, and then he would issue a second imperial edict to let the army camp in place.

Wait for the master of Lingxian Pavilion to arrive in the capital before ordering him to march.

It's a pity that man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations. The accident happened too quickly, and Jiang Rui was directly assassinated by the evil guard.

This prevented subsequent decrees from being issued again.

Then there was a scene like this, where the soldiers of the two armies arrived at the foot of the capital.
