Chapter 314: The army is at the city, who is planning to rebel

Forbidden City, Xihuamen.

Looking at the brightly lit palace in the Forbidden City, Liao Lang yawned very bored. It was a happy day, but his commander had to blow the wind at the palace gate. Eunuch Wang and the others were really not polite.

After all, he was a commander and his status was quite high. Commander Liao knew Wang Yue’s intentions very well. The emperor was young and was bewitched by the treacherous slanders around him, so it was necessary for the ministers and the princes of the outside court to eliminate those treacherous slanders who bewitched the holy heart, even if the emperor was dissatisfied with anything.

Is it good for good medicine to treat diseases? At this age of the emperor, how can we distinguish the sinisterness of people's hearts? It is also necessary for the vicissitudes of life to set the rudder for the emperor.

It is understandable but Liao Lang disagreed with the arrangements of the outer court and Wang Yue. It’s okay to close the four gates, so how can anyone prevent people from getting in and out? But it seems that it is unnecessary to send heavy troops to garrison? There are 800 people here for Xihua Gate alone, otherwise how can you get your own commander?

Liao Lang smiled proudly. It is hard to say what the military weapon department played, but no one can use others to deal with a group of boy scouts. The eight hundred people under his command are enough to wipe out those young boys who are still stolen. Do the babies in Xiyuan dare to attack the city? Isn’t this a big joke?

The Imperial Horse Prison is not a place to raise horses, and the soldiers here are not grooms! We are imperial guards, the elite imperial guards in the world!

Moreover, in addition to heavy troops garrison, the court also sent a supervisory censor, one palace gate and one, which was a waste of time. The Forbidden City is now inconsistent. Even if it attacks Xiyuan tonight, the emperor would not be able to get the news, even if he got the news, when he arrived at the palace gate, the outside world must have been settled, so how could the censor be used?

But that's fine. Judging from the consistent performance of civil officials, I think they have to share the contribution of such great achievements. Who can make people a scholar?

The credit was not enough for him, and Liao Lang didn't care much. What upset him was that the imperial censor Wang did not bother with the wind and kept guarding the palace gate. As a result, he could only accompany him and could not steal some leisure time.

"Commander Liao, have you heard any sound?" As he was muttering, he suddenly heard the censor who had been tense and was like a wooden carving.

Liao Lang looked around and then curled his lips and said, "Mr. Wang, the ban has been lifted today. Except for the inner city, there are fireworks everywhere, and there are people on the streets. Of course, it will be more noisy? If you think it is noisy, why not wait in the barracks below. If the emperor really comes to Xihuamen, I will definitely inform you."

Although his tone was respectful, he was smiling secretly. These literati were just incompetent. Don’t look at the sound of their mouths, but in fact they would get angry when they were serious. The sound was heard? The whole city was full of sounds. You know, except for the inner city, the capital had even cancelled the curfew tonight. How could it not be quarrel?

"Not those." Liao Lang's words were not very polite, but Wang Xinliang didn't care. He looked like water, shook his head, and then turned his head and listened, "Commander Liao, listen carefully, there seems to be someone shouting in the west garden, and many people..."

"Xiyuan?" Liao Lang was stunned, and then smiled: "Those dolls are scared, are they? People outside are saying how smart Xie Hong is, but according to my general's opinion, he is just an idiot. He thought that if he had a few thousand scouts, he could be matched with our imperial guards? Isn't that a whim? Hahaha..."

"What the commander said is that if Xie Hong really dares to lead some babies to Xihuamen, it would be easier. Moreover, this title is also from our Warriors Camp, haha..." Several lieutenants around Liao Lang also laughed and agreed.

"Mr. Wang, just be relieved. When the orders from Eunuch Wang come out, you will know what the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves when our Warriors camp attacks. Now, if they are willing to shout, let them shout, "Diet to the end, they have to let them vent, right?" Liao Lang smiled even more happily, pointing at Xiyuan with one hand and slapping his chest with the other.

"You can't be careless. The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength. Besides, Xie Hong's treacherous slander has always been cunning, so it's hard to protect him..." Although Wang Xinliang's face was still very solemn, his tone was actually loose.

He also agreed with Liao Lang's statement in his heart. No matter how magical Xie Hong is, he only has a group of dolls under his command. How could he make a fuss out of the sky under the current situation? Of course, the teacher's instructions must be followed, and it is necessary to be vigilant.

"Brothers, please cheer me up. Lord Wang said, we are fighting against rabbits, but we also need to use our strength. After all, the other party is the number one jester in the Ming Dynasty, so we should not take it too seriously, haha." Liao Lang turned his head and roared, which caused another burst of laughter.

It was bustling outside, but everyone was in the deserted chapel gate here. It was so boring, so it was good to have some fun.

"The commander is a little wrong. Someone is crossing the bridge, and there are many people!" The imperial guards are elite after all. Although their mentality is relaxed, most people did not relax their vigilance. While laughing, a captain suddenly stood up, pointed to the west, and shouted loudly.

All the soldiers were shocked and quieted down.

Liao Lang looked over the sound and saw that Daming Lake shrouded in the night was dark, like a bottomless abyss, unable to see anything clearly. However, it was not the first day that he was on duty in the Forbidden City. He knew the location of the Sihai Bridge on the lake very clearly, just not far from Xihua Gate.

There was indeed a sound coming in that direction. It was very low at the beginning, but very quickly, the sound became loud, the rustling footsteps, the creaking sound of the wooden bridge bearing the load, and... the heavy breathing sound of many people mixed together!

These sounds were connected in a circle, which clearly told Liao Lang a fact that there were a large group of people crossing the bridge, with a large number, and the target was directed to Xihuamen!

At this time, although the possibility is very low, the only person who is likely to come here is Xie Hong from Xiyuan and his Boy Scouts!

But how is this possible? They are really here to die? Liao Lang was a little stunned and couldn't believe it.

"Beware, beware!" Wang Xinliang didn't care about so much and shouted at the top of his lungs. In the night, his sharp voice seemed extremely shrill. He had suffered many losses after taking Xie Hong, and taking it lightly would never happen to him.

"Rise the fire! Archers go up the wall! Master Chen, you bring 400 people to stand by at the palace gate. When the general's order is issued, you open the door and fight out." Liao Lang also recalled and issued a series of orders. After all, he was a professional warrior. In terms of executability, his orders were much higher than Wang Xinliang's stream of consciousness.

No matter what the other party is trying to make, they have already come, and it doesn't seem like they are here to surrender. Then it's time to take the lead and make contributions. Looking at the shadows outside, Liao Lang showed a grim smile on his lips. I am the one who is in the Warriors camp, the elite among the elites. Since you are looking for death, let you see it.

At Liao Lang's order, the imperial guards immediately started to move. Although there were many people involved, the entire mobilization process was orderly. Seeing this scene, Wang Xinliang, who had no knowledge of military affairs, was relieved. The elite imperial guards were indeed well-deserved.

"Who is this? This is the Forbidden City. If you dare to get close, you will be killed without any hesitation!"

Although he never took the Boy Scouts to heart, Liao Lang did not attack rashly. The night battle was very dangerous, especially the opponent was Xie Hong, who was known for his insidiousness and cunning. Maybe there were any traps. He had to find out the situation after the attack was discovered.

The palace city was arranged very quickly, and the speed of crossing the bridge opposite was not slow. After the imperial guards were ready, the people under the city also lined up. This efficiency also surprised Liao Lang, so his actions were more cautious.

"The emperor is here, and the imperial guards are not open to welcome him yet. When will they wait?"

With Liao Lang's inquiry, the response under the city was the shouts of thousands of people. Even with the calm command of Liao Lang, the imperial guard, was shocked by the sudden huge sound.

However, when he heard the other party shouting, Liao Lang turned from shock to laughing. The Holy Lord is here? Are you cheating on the fool? Today is the day of the emperor's wedding. How could the emperor be here? Who doesn't know that he has gone to Kunning Palace?

"Ha, the priest is here? If you say you are here for a wedding chamber, I may believe it. If the emperor is here, do you think I am an idiot?" Liao Lang sneered loudly, then changed his mind and shouted:

"Xie Hong, you are full of evil and evil, and you are dead to the forefront. If you know the truth, you will immediately surrender. In front of all the adults, I can also say a few good things for you and leave a whole body for you. If you are stubborn and pretend to be a ghost here, don't blame me for being rude. With your crimes, it is light to cut into pieces."

"Hmph, it's up to you? Isn't this official looking down on you? Will those adults pay attention to you when a commander of an imperial guard? In front of them, you are not even as good as a dog, but you still have a shameless face to claim to be a lackey under someone's disciple. It's so shameful and ridiculous." A clear voice came from the city, with a low tone, but his tone was full of contempt.

"Well, it's okay to say it, open your dog's eyes and look. Brothers, raise the fire!"

Before Liao Lang got angry, with the command of that voice, the city suddenly shone brightly. I don’t know how many torches were ignited at the same time. For a moment, the imperial guards on the city were all dazzled.

"Shoot the arrows, shoot the arrows! Don't let them take the opportunity to lean on the city." Liao Lang was also shook. He could not see the objects, and was shocked, but the order he issued was not at all confusing.

The archers of the Imperial Guard had already set their bows and shot the arrows. When they heard the command of the commander, they were no longer panicked. They shot out the arrows in their hands. For a moment, hundreds of arrows were fired at once, and the sound of breaking through the air was endless.

Liao Lang was a little surprised that he did not hear the screams of being shot, but he also felt relieved. For him, defending Xihua Gate was the most important thing. The other party used such a method but did not take the opportunity to steal the city, which means that they still knew it.

But knowing that his combat power is not as good as he dares to provoke, and the other party's leader is Xie Hong, which means that the other party must have had some tricks, and Liao Lang dared not attack easily.

"Your Majesty..." His eyes finally recovered. Before Liao Lang opened his eyes to see, he heard Wang Xinliang beside him screaming, his voice trembling, showing the horror in his heart.

"Emperor! What an emperor!" The scope of activity of the imperial guards is the imperial city, and of course they are not unfamiliar with the emperor. Even though they are a little unrestrained, the city is now brightly lit, just like daytime. The soldiers can see clearly that the handsome young man in black is just today, Emperor Zhengde?

"The Holy Lord is here, don't you open the city to welcome him? You even shot arrows at the emperor. Are you planning to rebel?" Xie Hong struck while the iron was hot and asked sternly again.

"This..." Liao Lang was full of bitterness. How could he think that Zhengde was really there? This was too outrageous. Seeing that most of his subordinates were all looking like earth, he had to turn to Wang Xinliang.

Wang Xinliang was also panicked. Although he was a disciple of Li Dongyang, he had never learned the teacher's strategy at all. He had always been famous for his bold words, but he was far from being anxious. Seeing Zhengde suddenly appearing under the city, he was only afraid except to be unable to understand.

Zhengde led his troops to appear, and this is the worst situation Li Dongyang said.

It doesn't matter if the emperor is just the emperor. Everyone can disobey or refuse to be summoned. The military officer may not dare, but Wang Xinliang dares and is unhappy. It doesn't matter if the boy scouts are just the ones. They must have been captured with the elite of the imperial guards. Even though Xie Hong had some tricks, he would not be able to make real strength after all.

However, the emperor personally led the troops to appear, which was a big trouble. The imperial guards knew the emperor. Just look at the faces of these people. Who dared to raise a knife to the emperor?

However, if the emperor was allowed to lead troops into the Forbidden City, then take down Wang Yue, and then control the imperial guards... the consequences would be terrible. Not only would all the plans of the outside dynasty be silenced, but with the treacherous and ruthless means, the scholars in the capital would probably be bloody...

Wang Xinliang's thoughts were changing, and his face changed. He looked quite gloomy and terrifying in the firelight.

"I am here, don't you open the door?" Zhengde was impatient with the silence on the city. He took a step forward and pointed at the imperial guards on the city and shouted.

"Sir Wang, look..." Liao Lang was completely confused. He originally didn't believe in the various magical things about Xie Hong in the rumors, and thought it was just a rumor made by fools, but now he believes it.

Without unpredictable means by gods and ghosts, how could the emperor appear here? You know, as soon as the emperor entered Jiaotai Hall, the Forbidden City was already martial law, and even a fly could not fly out, let alone the emperor's big target?

At this time, he could only ask Wang Xinliang for help. The foreign court sent the censor to come. Isn’t it just to let the censor deal with the emperor?

"Commander Liao, how did Eunuch Wang explain to you?" Wang Xinliang's tone was a little cold.

"Uh..." Liao Lang was slightly stunned and replied subconsciously: "Shengguan Gongguan, no one should be allowed to enter and exit without his orders."

"How should Eunuch Wang treat you?" Wang Xinliang asked again.

"It's as if you are sincere." Liao Lang realized something and his heart suddenly became heavy.

"You and I are here today. We are responsible for the expectations of the people of the world and the safety of the Ming Dynasty. We must not lose it. As long as we guard Xihuamen and Commander Liao, this censor will report to the teacher and describe your achievements in detail. With such great achievements, it is not a dream to be a marquis and prime minister in the future. Moreover, Eunuch Wang must have told you..."

Word by word, he spit out from the gap between the teeth of the imperial edict. The sound was like a night owl, making everyone who heard it was creepy.

"Mr. Wang, what you mean..." The guards of the four gates were all Wang Yue's confidants, and Liao Lang was no exception. Although he had a natural awe of imperial power, he was influenced by Wang Yue and was even more awe of the scholars and officials. After hearing Wang Xinliang's temptation and coercion, his heart was nervous and a little lively, and became turbulent.

"The emperor outside is fake, Xie Hong asked someone to pretend. Today is the day of the emperor's wedding. The emperor can only know and can only be in Kunning Palace!" Wang Yushi gritted his teeth and shouted: "Send someone to notify Eunuch Wang and ask him to send someone to Kunning Palace to guard the emperor quickly, and then inform all the adults, so he said that Xie Hong made someone pretend to be the sage and intends to rebel!"
