Chapter 1215 Who doesn't eat dumplings?

In Yu Qian's courtyard, the boss paced back and forth anxiously, looking at the door from time to time, and shouting loudly: "Why haven't you come yet?!"

Yu Qian and his wife in the main room had already finished the winter solstice meal, and smiled at each other, Yu Qian said: "Don't be afraid, lady, you will feel nothing soon."

"With you, I'm not afraid of anything..." Yinling smiled and said to Qian: "Sir, let's do it."

Yu Qian nodded and reached for the tongs.

"Where is the water dragon, why hasn't it arrived yet?!" Seeing this, the waiter jumped up and down, and finally heard a noise at the door, and his subordinates shouted excitedly, "Here it is!"

Yu Qian smiled contemptuously and wanted to push down the blazing stove.At this time, a eunuch rushed in sweating profusely and shouted: "The emperor has an order, everyone get out!"

"What?!" The boss and the fans were stunned, and Yu Qian also stopped his movements, watching the changes.

"The emperor has a decree, everyone evacuates!" The eunuch panted and pointed at the head and said, "Why are you still standing there, waiting for someone to take care of the food?!"

"Eunuch Cao, why is this?!" The eunuch was familiar with the eunuch, and knew that he was a close friend of the emperor, so he naturally had no doubt about him, but he just couldn't understand.

"There are so many reasons," the eunuch became annoyed when he heard this, "If you are told to leave, then hurry up!"

The boss had no choice but to wave his hand, dejectedly led his men, and retreated.

The eunuch glanced at Yu Qian and his wife, showing a little fear. He opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't, so he stomped away too.

"Msanggong, why is this?" Seeing that the other party retreated suddenly, Yin Ling asked strangely.

"It should be the second brother's side, what's the move." Yu Qian smiled clearly: "Those people dare not touch us again."

"Really?!" Yinling was full of surprise, but she couldn't believe it: "Didn't it mean that the second brother was trapped in Badaling, and it was difficult to fly?"

"At the beginning they said that the second elder brother went deep into the desert, and he died without a place to die." Yu Qian said with a smile: "I can't figure it out, forget it, lady, I'll make dumplings again..."

.

As Yu Qian expected, the Qianqing Palace has been shrouded in an atmosphere of deep fear.

The emperor also celebrates the winter solstice, so today's dinner is also dumplings, but the plate of dumplings in front of Zhu Gaochi has not been touched, and it has completely cooled down.

But how can we meet the coldness in the emperor's heart?

Half an hour ago, the hot dumplings were served, and just as the emperor was about to eat, Yang Shiqi and Zhu Zhanji rushed to see him.Zhu Gaochi was frightened by the repeated bad news, so he hurriedly summoned him without thinking about it.

Sure enough, the two did not disappoint the emperor, and brought the bad news that made him die.

"Report to the emperor, Yang Pu urgently reported that the vanguard troops going south were blocked in Shandong, and the canal waterway was cut off!" Yang Shiqi reported with a dignified expression.

Zhu Zhanjiyou didn't think it was enough, and added: "According to Dongchang's report, Shandong's troops gathered in Dezhou, which seems to be an act of returning the capital against the father!"

Zhu Gaochi couldn't eat anymore, he put down his chopsticks heavily, his face was full of gloom.

However, Zhu Zhanji gloated a little. He was firmly opposed to returning the capital. Now that the emperor's journey to the south was blocked, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was quite happy to see it succeed.He pretended to comfort Taoist father and said: "Father, don't worry, we just can't return the capital for the time being. After the threat of Juyongguan is eliminated, the first thing to do is to completely pacify Shandong. If you want to pay back everything, it will be unimpeded!"

"..." Zhu Gaochi was so depressed, thinking that when the time comes, it's not up to me whether he can pay back or not.But with the current situation, he had no choice but to ask with a dark face: "How many troops are there in Shandong, will they threaten the capital?"

"It's full of fights and calculations. At this moment, the army in Dezhou is only [-] to [-], and the training and equipment are all unknown." Zhu Zhanji said confidently: "But one thing is certain. All the generals under his command have been selected and transferred, and now the leader in Shandong is his incompetent black brother, and the original Bailian sect has a bunch of brains. These people are useless, and even the best army is useless in their hands! "

"Don't be careless!" Since he couldn't run away, Zhu Gaochi naturally paid close attention to the safety of Beijing. "Dezhou is only four hundred miles away, and they must not be allowed to harass the capital!"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, there are still 20 troops guarding the capital, and King Qin's army will arrive one after another. The soldiers and horses in Shandong will not be able to threaten the capital." Yang Shiqi also reassured the emperor: "Your Majesty, the dumplings are cold. Let's eat..."

"Hey, you guys stay and have dinner together too." Zhu Gaochi adjusted his mood, as long as Wang Xian was still trapped in Juyongguan, everything was acceptable.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The two of them were so busy that they hadn't had dinner yet, and they were already hungry. After thanking them, they sat down and prepared to start.

But this meal was destined to be unfinished. The three of them had just picked up the dumplings and before they put them in their mouths, they saw Yang Rong rushing in distraught, as if a ghost was chasing after him.

Seeing Yang Rong, who had never changed his face before the mountain collapse, Zhu Gaochi and Yang Shiqi immediately stopped their chopsticks, but Zhu Zhanji was so hungry that he stuffed a dumpling into his mouth first.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong! Wang Xian led the army to appear in Zhuozhou!" Without paying attention to salute, Yang Rong yelled.

"What?!" The three of them were struck by lightning when they heard the words, the chopsticks in the hands of Zhu Gaochi and Yang Shiqi fell to the ground one after another, but Zhu Zhanji's chopsticks did not hit the ground, but the dumpling in his mouth fell to the ground with a thud.

In the main hall, only the heavy panting of the three monarchs and ministers was heard, Zhu Gaochi's face turned pale immediately, and he came back to his senses after a while, staring at Yang Rong and said: "Why did Wang Xian appear in Zhuozhou?! He was trapped in the Is Juyong closed?!" Because of extreme fear, the emperor's voice became hoarse and sharp, just like the eunuch who served him.

As long as you know a little about geography, you will understand why the emperor is so afraid.Zhuozhou is to the east of the Yanyun Mountains, only a hundred miles away from the capital, and there is no barrier between them!

"This... the specific situation is not clear..." Yang Rong was also full of fear, and he couldn't calm down, and his words were trembling: "It can only be speculated that he bypassed the Bauhinia Pass, broke through the Yanyun defense line, and then Those who went north to the capital..."

"How could he go to Zijing Pass?!" Yang Shiqi was shocked and angry, and roared: "What are the defenders of Datong doing?!"

Zijing Pass is also an important pass on Yanyun's line of defense. It is more than two hundred miles away from Juyong Pass and is the defense zone of Datong Town.Just like the main task of Xuanfu Town is to guard the Juyong Pass behind him, the main task of Datong Town is also to guard the Zijing Pass behind him.

"Didn't the army of Datong be transferred to Juyongguan..." Yang Rong glanced at Yang Shiqi, and said to himself that it was your order!

"..." Yang Shiqi was speechless for a moment.At this moment, how could he still not understand that Wang Xian was feigning an attack in Juyongguan, seizing the extreme fear of the court, and the army was just pretending to attract Daming's army in Xuanda.Then Wang Xian took the opportunity to divide his troops, passed through the empty Datong Town, and headed straight for Zijing Pass!

Although Bauhinia Pass, together with Juyong Pass and Dauma Pass, are called the Three Inner Passes of the Ming Dynasty, they all belong to the lock and key places in the interior.But after all, it is still far away from the capital. In the eyes of the emperor and ministers, the importance is far from being compared with the Zijingguan gate of the capital. , or the degree of importance, it is far inferior to Juyongguan.

With Wang Xian's unpredictable ability, it is not inconceivable that he went straight to Guancheng by surprise and broke through Bauhinia Pass in one fell swoop...

.

It took a long time for the monarch and ministers to digest the bad news. Yang Shiqi asked with a pale face, "How many troops does Wang Xian have by his side?"

When Zhu Zhanji and his son heard this, they immediately listened. If the camp at Badaling was empty and Wang Xian appeared in Zhuozhou with the main force, everything would be over...

"No more than [-]..." Fortunately, Yang Rong didn't deal them a fatal blow. "This is also reasonable. There are too many troops, and he can't hide his tracks at all, so it is impossible to raid Bauhinia Pass."

"That's okay..." Yang Shiqi heaved a sigh of relief. A clever woman can't cook without rice. No matter how awesome Wang Xian is, he can still lead a mere [-] troops to capture Beijing City?

"He's taking a risk. The [-] troops just want to make waves. They really underestimate us!" Zhu Zhanji also forced himself to cheer himself up calmly.

"He has more than [-] troops..." Emperor Hongxi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said quietly, "Have you forgotten the army in Dezhou?"

"Uh..." Yang Shiqi and Zhu Zhanji were like geese with their necks strangled, let alone talking, they even had difficulty breathing.

Now even a fool can see that the troops from Shandong gathered in Dezhou, they got Wang Xian's order and prepared to join him!
It turned out that Wang Xian had no intention of attacking the capital with troops from outside the pass. The foreshadowing he stayed in Shandong was his trump card!

Ordinarily, with such a simple reason, it is impossible for Yang Shiqi and Zhu Zhanji to wait for the emperor to remind them, but they have been confused by Wang Xian's successive mastery, and they can no longer think normally...

Now something big is going to happen, Shandong's army alone can't make a big storm, and Wang Xian alone can't make a big storm because he doesn't have enough troops.But combining the two into one can kill them!
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, Chief Assistant!" Seeing that the three of them were dumbfounded, Yang Rong had no choice but to urge: "The most urgent thing is to come up with a solution!"

"What can I do?!"

"What can Gu Neng do?!"

"What can I do?!"

The emperor, the prince, and Yang Shiqi wailed almost in unison.
