Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 342 Those who attack the imperial city will be killed without mercy
  "Wang Qi is seriously injured and dying!"

When he saw Wang Qi being slashed in the chest with a long knife, Tian Ergen could almost see himself fighting back to Beijing and re-establishing the emperor on the throne.

"Wang Qi must die! Don't get involved with them! Go back to the capital quickly!! Rescue the emperor!!!" At this time, rescuing the emperor is the most important thing. Tian Ergeng felt that if an individual was cut directly to the chest with a long knife, There is absolutely no reason to live!
  Absolutely not.

And looking at the old Liaodong pawns who were like a group of tigers choosing to devour others, Tian Ergeng felt that he had no chance to go for a last-ditch attack.

"Go quickly, go quickly!!!"

Under Tian Ergeng's decisive command, the participating Jinyiwei did not tangle with the red-eyed Liaodong veterans, but directly retreated on horseback.

The guards brought by Wang Qi no longer have the intention to chase the enemy. At this time, rescuing the master is the most important thing.

"Sir!" More than thirty guards surrounded Wang Qi, and the guard commander Wang Pei helped Wang Qi up.

At this moment, Wang Qi felt like the world was spinning, and his heart was throbbing, as if someone had just grabbed him and then pulled him, as if his entire chest had been disturbed.

He reached out and touched his chest. Before leaving, the soft gold armor that Hai Lanzhu brought for himself played a great protective role. Otherwise, it would have been just a knife, and he would have queued up to cross over again.

"If you have nothing to do, send me to the Shijingshan Camp immediately." Wang Qi shook his head. While suppressing the blood rising from his throat, he gave an order to his bodyguard commander: "Then you go back to the city in person and tell Li Qingsong to send someone Send Ye Xianggao and Sun Chengzong to Wenyuan Pavilion to gather, Li Qingsong is responsible for protecting all the cabinet ministers, and also sends Wang Tiqian to Qianqing Palace to take charge to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to cause trouble!"

"Where is the capital?" Wang Pei asked.

"At this time, controlling the palace is the most important thing. There are 50,000 troops in Shijingshan, and the city of Beijing cannot be overturned!!" Wang Qi's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "Tell Wang Tiqian that anyone who wants to see the emperor at this time can be killed directly! No need. hesitate!"

"My subordinate understands!"

----

Last night, Ye Xianggao tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He got up in the middle of the night and sat in the study, proofreading the manuscript of the House Declaration that had been transcribed. He didn't fall asleep in the study until it got dark.

Therefore, when Wang Pei broke in with armor and a knife, Ye Xianggao was a little dizzy.

"Master Ye, by the order of the Duke of Qi, please go to Wenyuan Pavilion as soon as possible." Wang Pei's armor was bloody and the wound on his right arm was still bleeding. So when he stood in front of Ye Xianggao, Ye Xianggao immediately thought It's the royalists who are taking action!

Wang Pei did not explain too much, nor did he wait for Ye Xianggao to reply or give him any time to think. He waved his hand and asked his subordinates to 'invite' Ye Xianggao out.

"What are you doing? Where is Duke Qi? Where is he? What happened?"

If Ye Xianggao hadn't known the commander of the guards around Wang Qi and was carried out of the courtyard, Ye Xianggao would have reacted and shouted. At this time, he already knew that something must have happened to Wang Qi.

Until Ye Xianggao was stuffed into the sedan, Wang Pei didn't say anything during the whole process. In the entire Ye Mansion, no one dared to step forward to stop Qi Guogong's personal guards holding bloody swords.

The same scenes also happened in the houses of Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, Wang Huazhen, Lu Yu and others.

"But something happened to the Duke?" Sun Chengzong was sitting on the huanghuali wooden armchair in Wenyuan Pavilion, looking at Li Qingsong who was standing beside him, looking at the sky.

"My lord, nothing will happen to you," Li Qingsong shook his head.

Hearing Li Qingsong's words, Sun Chengzong hummed softly, then reached out to pick up the tea on the table and drank it by himself.

But when those hands fell into Li Qingsong's eyes, they were trembling slightly.

Humhhhhhh! ! !
  While he was talking, there were hurried footsteps outside the door again.

"What happened?" Ye Xianggao's voice came from outside the palace: "I want to see Duke Qi!"

As soon as he entered the door and saw Sun Chengzong already sitting in the hall, Ye Xianggao was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly, panicked in his heart, and turned to look at Li Qingsong: "Commander Li, it will be easy if you are here. Do you know that Duke Qi is here?" where?"

"The Duke of Qi ordered me to bring you all to wait here, please be patient!" Li Qingsong just replied softly, pressing his right hand gently on the saber and keeping silent.

Frowning his brows, Ye Xianggao Dingding looked at Li Qingsong and counted his breaths, then snorted softly, then gently shook his embroidered robe, walked a few steps before sitting down next to Sun Chengzong, picked up the tea, and drank by himself. got up.

At this time, Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youxiao walked slowly around the hall with his hands behind his back.

Xiao Guizi stood aside and looked at Zhu Youxiao. The emperor lowered his head, and no one could see his current expression.

However, Xiao Guizi can imagine that the curvature of the corners of Zhu Youxiao's mouth is now as curved as a divine arm crossbow.

Half a stick of incense time ago, Yang Changsi sent a secret letter to Zhu Youxiao. The message in the letter, just two lines of words, made Zhu Youxiao, who had been anxious and anxious these days, jump up from the dragon chair:

Wang Qi died at the foot of Shijing Mountain. I and others must save His Majesty and the fire and water!

"Ancestors bless you, ancestors bless you!" Zhu Youxiao paced for a long time, his steps suddenly stopped, and his tone slowly rose from low to high, and gradually became arrogant and high-spirited: "Qi Guogong? Wang Qi? After all, it is difficult to defy nature. Okay! Hahaha."

"Xiao Guizi," Zhu Youxiao stood in front of the hall with his hands behind his back. The emperor's aura of mastery over the world burst out from the emperor again: "Go and get my military uniform. Zhang Aiqing and the others will come to help in a while. Come, I will send out generals to welcome you, step on those rebellious corpses myself, and come to court again!"

"My slave, go now." Xiao Guizi bowed first, then turned around and left.

At this moment, clatter! ! !
  There was a sound of silver armor and black boots hitting the ground.

When Zhu Youyou looked out of the hall in confusion, Wang Tiqian, dressed in dark armor and silver, walked up the steps.

"My slave, Wang Tigan, pays homage to His Majesty!"

Facing Zhu Youxiao, Wang Tiqian has always been so respectful and humble.

"What are you doing here?" Zhu Youxiao felt nervous at first, but when he thought that Wang Qi was dead, he immediately felt that he should be stronger. He frowned at Wang Tigan and said: "Eunuch Wang, I didn't summon you! There is no need here. Your place!" "Your Majesty, there are a lot of rumors in Beijing. In order to prevent anyone from taking risks at this critical moment, I think it would be better to come here in person to protect your Majesty!"

Wang Tiqian ignored Zhu Youxiao's ridicule, stood up and waved: "Before everything settles, please go to the East Pavilion to rest!"

"I, what if I don't want to go?" Zhu Youxiao's eyes narrowed and he refused directly with a flick of his sleeves.

Wang Tiqian raised his head slightly and looked at Zhu Youxiao quietly, with a trace of ridicule in his eyes.

This kind of gaze made Zhu Youxiao a little uneasy.

Like a hunter examining his prey.

"What do you want to do?" Zhu Youxiao has decided to wait for Yang Changsi and others to rescue him. After all, he will make these rebellious people who have betrayed him worse than death: "I, I will just go."

"Your Majesty, please move." Wang Tiqian turned sideways and stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation.

Turning his head and looking at Xiao Guizi, Zhu Youxiao took a deep breath and walked away with his head held high.

When the undercurrent surged in the imperial city, the city of Beijing was already in a state of uproar.

Because of Wang Qi's order, the defense forces of Beijing City have been transferred to the vicinity of Wenyuan Pavilion, and the secret guards are still monitoring a group of ministers who want to secretly rescue the emperor. Therefore, in Beijing City, the Jinyi Guards and the Imperial City Division are dead and useless.

At Zhang Shenyan's house, Yang Changsi, Tian Ergeng and others were all present.

Originally, Tian Ergeng and others were not on the same side as Zhang Shenyan, Yang Changsi and others, but after Shi Jingshan intercepted and killed Wang Qi, Tian Ergen decided to cooperate with Yang Changsi and others. After all, the remaining more than 100 people in his hands were not enough. Rescue the emperor from Wang Tiqian!
  Although Yang Zhang Shenyan and others were literati, they had high prestige among the common people and scholars in the capital. At this time, they might not be able to win over a group of useful people by raising their voices.

Although most of them are speculators, at this critical moment, it doesn't matter so much. As long as the emperor can be rescued, it will be a great achievement!
  "The rebels have now reduced their forces to the vicinity of Donghua Gate and Wenyuan Pavilion. There are still heavy guards in the imperial city. We need to enter through its weak defenses and be led by reliable people to find the emperor and rescue him!"

Because Yang Changsi had the experience of commanding troops in battle when he was a local official, he was elected as the general minister in charge of the rescue of the emperor this time, and Tian Ergen was a military general. Because he had contributed to the interception and killing of Wang Qi, he was appointed deputy. Leader, responsible for specific actions.

"How to find the emperor? Is there someone inside? Is there anyone familiar with the road?" Tian Ergeng looked at the literati in front of him with disdain in his eyes. This time, he had to intercept and kill Wang Qi all by himself to rescue the emperor. Opportunity, if we wait for these rotten scholars? I'm afraid that when Wang Qi becomes emperor, he will still be hesitant and regretful all day long.

"Master Liu and Master Zou once sneaked into the palace and met with the emperor, and the little eunuch beside the emperor was our internal agent," Yang Changsi pointed at the map with his finger as he spoke: "At the moment, most of the rebels' troops are They are all holding the emperor hostage in the imperial city, or protecting a group of thieves in Wenyuan Pavilion. Soon we will lead the people and scholars in the city to pretend to attack Donghua Gate! Ye Xianggao and others are self-righteous scholars, and they will definitely not hurt us. Killer, after we attract the attention of a large number of imperial guards, Master Tian can lead his men to attack Xihua Gate, and someone will take you to the emperor’s location!!!"

"How many men do you have? How many Yulin Guards can you attract?" Tian Ergen knew that he did not have many troops and could not fight a protracted battle with the Yulin Army. He needed Yang Changsi to contain most of the Yulin Guards.

"Most of the three thousand scholars in the Imperial Academy are employed by me, Donglin! There are nearly ten thousand people in the city, all of whom are loyal citizens of our Holy Emperor! As long as I climb up and give a shout, the rebellious bandit army in Donghua Gate will say To be honest, as long as Wang Qi is not here, nothing else matters!"

"Without further delay!" Tian Ergeng's eyes flashed fiercely: "Tian will lead people to Xihua Gate now, and when you start to attack Donghua Gate, use the fireworks as a signal! We will start attacking the city at the same time!"

In fact, Tian Ergen was a little worried. If the emperor was not rescued within a short period of time and then transferred out of the city, then Tian Ergen believed that after knowing that Wang Qi was intercepted and killed, the 50,000 Liaodong cavalry outside the city would probably make the entire city of Beijing panic. Millions of people were buried with Wang Qi.

"A stick of incense ago, I had people release the news of Qi Guogong's death. Presumably, the news has been fermented all over Beijing by now." Yang Changsi was full of confidence. His expression and posture were as if he was strategizing and defeating Zhang Zifang who was thousands of miles away. .

Beijing City, above the Royal Street.

"The Duke of Qi has died in Shi Jingshan! The Imperial Clan in the imperial city is already leaderless. If we go into the city to rescue the emperor now, we will be rich and powerful!"

"Go to Donghua Gate, knock on the city, and welcome back the emperor!"

"Anyway, the Duke of Qi is dead and the Senate faction has nothing to worry about!"

When the news that Duke Qi was intercepted and killed was deliberately spread, in less than half an hour, the entire city of Beijing, even the beggars under the overpass, knew the news.

"Go to Donghua Gate and get a share of the pie! It will be a great achievement to support the emperor and other great treasures again!"

The crowd was surging and shouting, heading towards Donghua Gate
  People's hearts are complex and changeable. If Wang Qi was here, no one would dare to step forward. As soon as the news of Wang Qi's death came out, the speculation on wealth and wealth in everyone's hearts immediately emerged from the depths of their hearts.

At this time, Li Qingsong, who was in full armor, was standing on the Donghua Gate Tower, his face as always, resolute and cold.

Standing next to him were Ye Xianggao and Sun Chengzong.

"Commander Li, can you hold on?" Ye Xianggao asked worriedly.

Looking at the dark crowd spreading to Anyuan Gate under the city tower, Li Qingsong's deep eyes moved, and his tone was extremely cold: "Qi Guogong ordered that if anyone dares to attack the imperial city, he will be killed without mercy!"

"Absolutely not!" Sun Chengzong on the side heard the words and immediately stopped him: "The scholars and the people are all innocent. They were bewitched by traitors, and that's why they did this! If the news about us killing people is spread, it will be discussed in the House of Representatives. Our reputation is in great disgrace! What will the world think of us and Duke Qi?"

Hearing Sun Chengzong's words, Li Qingsong withdrew his eyes from the people below the city tower and said solemnly: "If it were during the Liaodong War, those Han people who had surrendered to Jiannu's sword would probably be ashamed to death if they heard Master Sun's words like this!"

Sun Chengzong's expression froze when he heard this. Of course he understood that Li Qingsong was mocking his wife's benevolence, but killing people is always bad for your reputation!

"Mr. Kaiyang, when we have reached this point, we can't look back." Ye Xianggao took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind: "Whether it's rebellion and usurping the throne, or massacre of the people, the matter has come to this, if we don't insist on going on, Killing the nine tribes is the best ending."

It is of no use to me to gain fame by ascending to this position!

Boom.
  Under the city tower, the people have begun to attack the Donghua Gate gate. With the bursts of impact, you can feel the slightest tremor on the city tower.

"Sir, the enemy troops below the city have begun to attack the city!" His soldiers came to report.

enemy?

Hearing this title, Sun Chengzong's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat as he closed his eyes and couldn't bear to watch anymore.

This is going to be a killing spree!
