The eyes of the surrounding soldiers from the Beijing camp also fell on Li Huan opposite him and the group of royal guards behind Li Huan.
Compared with Chang Ningbo and Gao Changsheng, these soldiers were more able to feel the murderous aura emanating from the imperial guards across from them.
Especially those with sharp eyes saw that many Jin Yiwei's bodies were stained with blood.
Where does this blood come from?
Gao Changsheng raised his head. He was the majestic Uncle Chang Ning. He was scared to death by the British Duke Zhang Mao, so that was fine. Who would let him be the British Duke who was the first noble?
Coming from the title of Duke of England held by Ningbo Bi's family, he was like a man in heaven and on earth.
But just because he couldn't offend the British duke, it didn't mean that he was afraid of Li Huan.
So what if Li Huan was a royal guard? He had his own soldiers by his side and soldiers from the Beijing camp behind him. And in front of the palace gate, he didn't believe that Li Huan dared to hurt him in the slightest.
The soldier guarding Gao Changsheng suddenly turned cold and his eyes were full of disbelief. He suddenly pulled Gao Changsheng back and screamed: "Stop them.
Stop them quickly!"
A cold light flashed in Li Huan's eyes, and the embroidered spring knife in his hand flew directly across the sky, and he slashed at Gao Changsheng without hesitation.
"Since you want to die, then go and die!"
Li Huan's voice was cold and heart-stopping. Gao Changsheng opened his eyes wide and looked at the sword light falling towards his neck with a stupid look on his face in horror.
Almost instinctively, Gao Changsheng screamed: "Help, the murderer Li Huan is crazy!"
In the imperial city, in a side hall, Chief Assistant Li Dongyang, Pavilion Elder Yang Tinghe, Fei Hong, Mao Ji, Liang Chu, Liu Zhong and others were discussing matters within the court.
Now that the emperor is unconscious, the queen mother has entrusted the government affairs of the court to Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and others. Naturally, these few people did not dare to neglect and temporarily moved the cabinet to this side hall.
While keeping an eye on the emperor's situation at all times, he was also handling government affairs. At the same time, he would also take the initiative to ask the Queen Mother Zhang for advice on some matters.
At this moment, Fei Hong was stroking his beard and said to Yang Tinghe: "Brother Jiefu, regarding the handling of Liu Jin and his party, the Third Division has come up with a final conclusion. I also asked two adults to review it and ask the Queen Mother to review it, so that Liu Jin can be dealt with early."
One party.”
Yang Tinghe looked at the thick case handed over by Fei Hong and nodded slightly: "Okay, I will review it as soon as possible and then ask the Queen Mother to make a decision."
Fei Hong nodded, with a slight smile on his face, and said with a slight sense of relief: "This time the eunuchs in the court have been almost wiped out. It can be said that the world is clear and peaceful, and the world is safe and peaceful. We are not worthy of serving as officials."
field."
Liu Zhong, a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion who was in charge of Zhan Shifu, heard this and chuckled: "Liu Jin has been suffering for a long time in the world. We can be regarded as eliminating a big trouble for the people of the world."
When Mao Ji, who was walking over with a stack of official documents, heard this, his expression showed a bit of sternness and said: "First of all, let's get rid of Liu Jin, and the next one is the murderous maniac Li Huan. We will never spare this traitor."
When they heard Mao Ji mention Li Huan, everyone's expressions changed slightly.
Compared with Liu Jin who was in the capital and brought trouble to the court, Liu Jin did much more harm than Li Huan did, but for some reason, the hatred of the officials towards Li Huan was stronger than that of Liu Jin.
It can only be said that Li Huan acted too unscrupulously, killing people and ransacking homes at every turn, and every time he still left them speechless and unreasonable if he wanted to cause trouble.
With a slight cough, Yang Tinghe said with a smile: "Everyone, please deal with Liu Jin's matter first, and then consider other things. After all, the most important thing right now is Your Majesty."
When Yang Tinghe mentioned the emperor, all the officials were silent for a while.
It has been nearly ten days since the emperor was assassinated. During this period, all the doctors from the imperial hospital made repeated diagnoses, but found nothing. The emperor has not been seen waking up yet, but he is still hanging on that breath, which is heartbreaking.
install.
After a while, Liu Zhong was heard slowly speaking to Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and the others: "You two, if His Majesty is unconscious for a long time, we must come up with a countermeasure. Otherwise, all the officials will not see the Emperor for a long time, and the world will be ruined."
Lord, there will definitely be chaos..."
Before Liu Zhong could finish his words, Yang Tinghe suddenly shouted sharply: "Master Liu, don't mention this matter again. Your Majesty is still here, how can we and other ministers have such thoughts?"
Liu Zhong cupped his hands and sighed: "I made a mistake, but this matter will eventually have to be faced, so I hope the two cabinet ministers will consider it early."
While he was talking, he saw an official walking quickly, followed by a soldier.
Hearing the footsteps, several important officials in the court looked over. When their eyes fell on the soldier, some of them showed a bit of surprise.
Li Dongyang's body is now much weaker than before, so most of the affairs in the cabinet are now handled by Yang Tinghe, so at this time Li Dongyang nodded slightly to Yang Tinghe, obviously leaving it to Yang Tinghe to handle.
Yang Tinghe cupped his hands, looked at the visitor and said, "What's the matter?"
The soldier bowed to the ground respectfully, and said in a trembling voice with a hint of fear on his face: "As I said back to the pavilion, the young one, the young one is a personal soldier of Uncle Gao. I have come here to report to you on the order of the uncle.
My lords, Commander Fan Gang of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division sent a message saying that Li Huan, the commander of the Jinyiwei, appeared at the Jinyiwei Yamen and rushed towards the imperial city with the Jinyiwei people."
"What!"
"Li Huan!"
"This is impossible!"
When several ministers heard this, they jumped up almost at the same time, with expressions of disbelief on their faces, and their eyes fell on the soldier.
Being stared at by these eyes, the soldier almost collapsed to the ground in fright.
Yang Tinghe also had a look of shock on his face, but he quickly regained his composure, looked at the soldier and said harmoniously: "Speak slowly, what is going on? Are you sure it is Li Huan who is back?"
The soldier almost burst into tears and said, "I'm just responsible for delivering the message. I don't know whether Li Huan has come back or not."
Seeing that he couldn't ask any more questions, Fei Hong waved his hands in a rather irritable mood and said: "Okay, you can go down and tell Gao Changsheng to guard the palace gate. No one is allowed to enter without our permission."
Palace, have you remembered it?"
The soldier hurriedly got up and said: "I have made a note, no one is allowed to enter the palace without your permission."
When the soldier left, Fei Hong couldn't help but said: "Everyone, isn't Li Huan in Fuzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province? How could he appear in the capital? This is simply impossible."
Liu Zhong stroked his beard and said, "I guess Fan Gang made a mistake."
Li Dongyang, who had been silent until now, looked at Yang Tinghe and said, "Jiefu, is the news you said true or false? Has Li Huan really returned to Beijing?"
Yang Tinghe said solemnly: "Regardless of whether this news is true or false, as the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. Although Fan Gang has average abilities, he will definitely not be able to recognize Li Huan. I doubt..."
As they were talking, an official stumbled in, lay on the ground and shouted: "It's not good, Uncle Gao sent someone to summon him, and Li Huan led his people to kill him in front of the palace gate."
Liu Zhong, who was still suspicious just now, and Fei Hongdeng looked dull.
Then the official said again: "Uncle Gao said that he will block Li Huan from the palace gate, but I also ask you to come up with countermeasures as soon as possible. How should Li Huan deal with this."
At the same time, in front of the palace gate, a big head flew up, and Gao Changsheng still had a look of horror and disbelief on his face.
Just like the moment when Fan Gang was beheaded by Li Huan without hesitation, they never imagined that Li Huan would be so bold and kill people as he said.
Even compared to Fan Ganglai, Gao Changsheng couldn't believe that Li Huan dared to kill him.
On the one hand, he is the uncle of the Ming Dynasty, and behind him is the Ming Dynasty Honorable Group. On the other hand, this is an important place of the imperial palace. Using swords here is tantamount to rebellion. There are still a few people who dare to use swords like the British Duke Zhang Mao.
Even if it were Zhang Mao, he would dare to kill a low-level soldier, but he would never dare to kill an uncle of the Ming Dynasty in front of the palace gate.
But Gao Changsheng underestimated Li Huan's madness. Even if his soldiers reacted quickly enough, they were still one step behind Li Huan.
No matter how fast those soldiers were, they couldn't move faster than Li Huan's knife that struck Gao Changsheng's head. He raised and lowered the knife without any hesitation.
Li Huan slashed off Gao Changsheng's head with his sword, drove his horse forward without hesitation, and crashed directly into the sluggish Beijing soldiers.
These Beijing soldiers have not seen blood for many years. Although they occasionally practice, they are only a little better than ordinary people.
At this moment, they faced the elite Jinyiwei who were full of evil spirits and their hands were stained with blood. If Gao Changsheng was still alive, maybe these soldiers still had some morale.
However, when Li Huan chopped off Gao Changsheng's head without hesitation, the courage of these soldiers in the capital was completely destroyed.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu My lord is dead, my lord is dead!"
The sluggish soldiers of the Beijing camp who were surrounded by them couldn't withstand the impact of the Jinyiwei. They collapsed on the spot. The hundreds of soldiers were obviously several times more numerous than the Jinyiwei, but they were killed by the Jinyiwei and ran around without the slightest daring to resist.
When Li Huan saw this, he shouted loudly: "Don't pursue me, just follow me into the palace."
Yue Buqun strode forward, holding a Xiuchun knife in his hand, with blood flowing on it, but more than a few soldiers had died in his hands just now.
He saw Yue Buqun slap his palm on the palace door, and heard the door bolt made of fine iron making a clanging sound. The palace door only shook but did not open.
Yue Buqun's expression changed slightly. This was the first time Yue Buqun encountered this scene. He seemed to have never expected that the gate of the palace was actually made of solid wood wrapped in fine iron. Even the door bolts were forged from fine iron. Naturally, he didn't expect it.
It's as easy as him breaking down the door between ordinary people.
There was a lot of commotion here, especially the soldiers guarding the palace gate who were killed and scattered in all directions. Naturally, this immediately alerted the imperial guards patrolling the imperial city.
These Imperial City Guards were carefully selected from among the Royal Guards. Due to the assassination of the Emperor, their commanders were also imprisoned and replaced by the cabinet.
At this time, Di Cheng's face was full of horror, and he shouted at the palace guards behind him: "Please work harder. If someone breaks into the palace, I will look into your heads one by one."
Although Di Cheng was parachuted in by the civil service group, his abilities are not bad. He has calmed down the Imperial City guards these days. If the situation was not urgent, Di Cheng would not use such a threatening tone.
Speak to the imperial city guards.
The news Di Cheng received from the defeated soldiers of the Beijing camp was really shocking.
Li Huan actually led the Jinyi Guards to kill Chang Ningbo and Gao Changsheng in front of the palace gate. At this moment, it was unknown whether the palace gate had been opened.
If Li Huan was allowed to break into the imperial city, just thinking of this, Di Cheng couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and the speed of his feet became a little faster.
From a distance, Di Cheng saw Liu Zhong, the great scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion in charge of Zhan Shifu, running over panting with a group of imperial guards.
When he saw Liu Zhong, Di Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went up to meet him and joined them together: "Sir, have you got the news that Li Huan killed Uncle Gao?"
"What! Is Gao Changsheng dead, or was he killed by Li Huan?"
Liu Zhong almost couldn't breathe, and was so frightened that he fainted.
When they learned that Li Huan had been stopped by Gao Changsheng before he led his men to the palace gate, they were slightly relieved. However, some people were worried that Gao Changsheng could do nothing to Li Huan, so Liu Zhong specially asked for orders to bring some of the imperial soldiers with him.
Wei went to help Gao Changsheng.
Liu Zhong believed that with Gao Changsheng's troops in the capital and the Imperial City guards he brought, there would be no problem in blocking Li Huan from the Imperial City.
When Yang Tinghe, Li Dongyang and others went to consult the Queen Mother, they could directly issue an edict to arrest Li Huan for leading troops to storm the palace gate without permission and treason.
It can be said that Liu Zhong calculated well, but the premise is that Li Huan did not attack the palace gate and Gao Changsheng was able to block Li Huan from the palace gate.
However, from what Di Cheng said, it seemed that Gao Changsheng had been killed by Li Huan at this moment.
To be honest, when Liu Zhong suddenly heard that Li Huan had killed Gao Changsheng, the uncle of the Ming Dynasty, it was as if he had heard a fantasy.
The nobles of the Ming Dynasty did not have any real power, but they were noble enough. Under normal circumstances, no one would provoke these nobles.
Gao Changsheng was an uncle after all, but he was killed at Li Huan's request. Liu Zhongzhen wondered if Li Huan was really crazy. Didn't he know that he was good at killing an uncle before the imperial city?
What a crime that is.
Di Cheng couldn't help but look at Liu Zhong with a worried look: "Sir, are you okay?"
Liu Zhong said to Di Cheng: "Quickly, bring someone with me to stop Li Huan. We must not let him, a lunatic, into the imperial city. Otherwise, he will definitely kill the king and rebel."
If this happened in the past, whoever told him that if someone dared to lead people to attack the imperial city and rebel against the king, Di Cheng would definitely slap him with a big ear and spit in the face.
In the glorious Ming Dynasty, during the peaceful and prosperous year, he actually wanted to attack the palace gate and commit regicide. This is simply a joke.
But now Di Cheng believed it, because the one who was attacking the palace gate of the imperial city was none other than the madman-like Li Huan.
Li Huan killed Changningbo Gao Changyong, so he doesn't seem to mind another regicide.
When he thought of this, Di Cheng couldn't help but feel excited, his chance had come.
If Li Huan can be captured, wouldn't he have made a huge contribution? When the time comes, all the elders will definitely not be stingy with rewards. They will even promote him to a higher position, and grant him the title of wife and son.
With these thoughts in his mind, Di Cheng was shocked and shouted at the Imperial City Guards behind him: "Work harder and block the palace gate and prevent anyone from entering the palace. This is a great achievement. If you can do this,
If you do, the imperial court will certainly not hesitate to reward you."
Liu Zhong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said loudly: "I am the head of Zhan Shi Mansion, Liu Zhong, the great scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion. I can promise you that as long as you stop the traitor Li Huan, you will all be rewarded."
."
In front of the palace gate, Li Huan saw Yue Buqun's actions and said with a smile: "Yue Baihu, there is no need to waste your efforts. The palace gate is not so easy to open unless it is attacked by a siege vehicle."
, Otherwise, there is no way you can even think of breaking down the palace door directly."
Yue Buqun said in surprise: "Then how can we enter the palace, sir?"
Li Huan said calmly: "Of course, open the door from the inside."
Speaking towards Chen Yao, Meng Hui nodded. The two of them jumped up and climbed over the high palace wall. Soon they heard a creaking sound, which was extremely strong and could withstand it.
The palace gate that the army was attacking opened slowly.
Seeing the palace door open, Li Huan smiled a little.
The most difficult stage has been passed. As long as he enters the palace and finds the emperor, he will know whether he is alive or dead.
With these thoughts in his mind, Li Huan looked at the group of imperial guards who were following him to commit such a major act of almost confiscating his family and exterminating his family. He took a deep breath and said to Du Guang: "Du Guang, take half of your brothers and guard the palace gate to the death.
, no one is allowed in or out.”
When Du Guang heard this, he immediately said: "Don't worry, sir, unless your subordinate is dead, we will never let anyone in or out."
Li Huan reached out and patted Du Guang's shoulder. Li Huan turned over and dismounted and said, "Follow me to the palace, gentlemen."
Soon dozens of imperial guards followed Li Huan into the imperial city.
It can be said that these Jinyi guards entered the imperial city for the first time. For such a sacred place, many of them couldn't help showing a bit of nervousness on their faces after entering the imperial city.
Li Huan is no stranger to the Imperial City. In the past few years, he has been in and out of the Imperial City more than once. He can't say that he is very familiar with the Imperial City, but he will not be like what he did when he broke into the British Duke's Mansion not long ago.
I was dizzy walking around inside.
Because he learned from the British Duke Zhang Mao that the emperor was currently recuperating in Jinglan Palace, Li Huan led his people straight towards Jinglan Palace.
But before he had gone too far, he saw a group of people approaching in a hurry.
When he saw the group of imperial guards on the opposite side, Li Huan couldn't help but have a complicated look on his face.
Each of these imperial city guards was carefully selected by him. It can be said that in terms of elite level, they are no worse than the imperial guards behind him who followed him into the imperial city.
Li Huan saw these people, and Liu Zhong, Di Cheng and others also saw Li Huan and his party rushing into the imperial city.
Although I have been mentally prepared to a certain extent, when I saw Li Huan leading a team of troops into the imperial city, I still felt a little lucky in my heart, thinking that Li Huan did not dare to kill Gao Changsheng, but after seeing
When it came to Li Huan, who was covered in blood, and the Jin Yiwei behind him, that little bit of luck disappeared.
If Gao Changsheng was not dead, how could Li Huan calmly open the palace gate and lead his men into the imperial city? The defeated soldiers would not say that Gao Changsheng was killed.
Di Cheng subconsciously clenched the long knife in his hand, while Liu Zhong looked at Li Huan with a hateful look. In his opinion, Li Huan was a traitor and traitor, and should be punished with death, even if it means confiscating his family and exterminating his family, he would be punished by a thousand cuts.
Even if I cut it, I won’t be relieved.
"Li Huan, you are so brave, do you know where this is?"
Liu Zhong, who was far away, shouted at Li Huan.
Li Huan's eyes fell on Liu Zhong. Li Huan had no impression of Liu Zhong. It was true that he was the commander of the Imperial Guard, but it did not mean that he knew all the officials in the DPRK.
Li Huan naturally didn't recognize an old minister like Liu Zhong, but just by looking at his purple official uniform, Li Huan knew that he was at least a senior official of second rank or above.
Glancing at Liu Zhong lightly, Li Huan ignored him at all, but looked at the imperial guards who blocked his way.
With a sigh, Li Huan slowly spoke: "I think you are all familiar with Li. It was Li who selected you from among the Imperial Guards back then, and then, with His Majesty's permission, sent you to the Imperial City to do this.
Guard the imperial city to protect the safety of the emperor."
As he spoke, Li Huan changed his voice and suddenly raised his voice a little higher: "But a group of audacious young people actually harmed the emperor, so that the emperor fell into the hands of villains. As the emperor's personal soldiers, you are the members of the Tian family."
Is it possible for a close confidant to sit back and watch something like this happen..."
As soon as Li Huan said this, many imperial guards looked at me and at you, and many of them showed hesitation on their faces.
Firstly, they were originally from Jin Yiwei, so it was difficult for them to be hostile towards Li Huan. Furthermore, Li Huan also said that if the emperor was in trouble, they, as the emperor's personal soldiers, should give top priority to protecting the emperor's safety.
Compared with those civil servants, to be honest, these imperial guards who were born in Jin Yiwei inherently had more trust in Li Huan.
Di Cheng couldn't help but change his expression when he saw this, and shouted loudly: "Comrades, please don't forget that Li Huan attacked the imperial city without permission. No matter what, his actions are rebellion. Do you want to join the rebels in conspiracy?"
?”
The label of rebel was just thrown off. The expressions of the Imperial City guards who had just been persuaded suddenly changed. When they looked at Li Huan again, they were already a little more wary.
It's not that these people are ungrateful and don't remember Li Huan's old feelings for promoting them. The key is that Di Cheng's rebel hat is too powerful.
In this era, based on the background of these people, we want them to participate in the rebellion. To be honest, unless they are deceived, there are really not many people who know the rebellion and dare to participate in it.
The remnants of the Ming Dynasty that lasted for hundreds of years are still there, and the people's hearts are still there. If you want to rebel, there is not much hope of success.
Liu Zhong didn't expect that he would be ignored by Li Huan, and his anger rose in his heart, especially when he saw that Li Huan still wanted to confuse people's hearts. He couldn't help but said angrily: "Li Huan, you are just looking for death, but you are also
I want to drag others to die with me."
As he spoke, Liu Zhong said loudly to the royal guards behind Li Huan: "I am a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion and Liu Zhong, the head of Zhanshi Mansion. As long as you can turn back in time and help the court capture the rebel Li Huan, I will
The official can promise to forgive you and others."
However, none of the Jinyi guards standing behind Li Huan even moved. They had already awakened when they followed Li Huan towards the imperial city.
Moreover, Li Huan also said that they were here to save the emperor from danger. As long as they met the emperor, and based on the emperor's favor and trust in Li Huan, they might not know who the rebel would be.
So these Jin Yiwei didn't pay attention to Liu Zhong's intention at all.
Liu Zhong did not expect it to be like this, and angrily said to Di Cheng: "Commander Di, let me capture all these rebels!"
As long as Li Huan and others can be captured, then the charge of Li Huan attacking the palace gate without permission and killing the imperial uncle Gao Changsheng can be enough to charge Li Huan with conspiracy and rebellion, implicating the nine tribes.
So Liu Zhong was in a very good state of mind at this moment, as if he had seen the scene where Li Huanshen died and his family was wiped out.
Li Huan looked in the direction of Jinglan Palace in the distance. This place was not far from Jinglan Palace. If he rushed there, he wouldn't even be able to finish half a cup of tea.
With his eyes focused, Li Huan shouted to the Imperial City Guards behind Di Cheng: "I don't want the embroidered spring knife in my hand to be stained with the blood of my former brothers. If you still miss the old relationship, please get out of my way later."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Huan straightened up and pounced directly on Liu Zhong.
When Di Cheng saw this, he shouted loudly: "Li Huan, don't be so presumptuous!"
Di Cheng's strength is not weak. He was promoted by the civil service group to take charge of the Imperial City Guards, so he is naturally a strong martial artist.
But Li Huan didn't pay attention to the other party's intention at all. Yue Buqun stopped Di Cheng with a flash of the sword in his hand.
Di Cheng's attention was all on Li Huan, and he only regarded Li Huan as his opponent, but he didn't expect that a Jinyiwei Baihu would appear next to him.
Di Cheng didn't take Yue Buqun, a hundred-household official, into consideration at all. He swiped the long sword in his hand. However, to his surprise, not only did the sword not knock the opponent away, but he himself was also hit.
He was so shocked that he stepped back repeatedly.
Liu Zhong was stunned for a moment. He looked at Di Cheng who was being dragged down by Yue Buqun, and then looked at the blood spattering on the body of a famous Imperial City guard who was blocking the knife for him. Liu Zhong couldn't help but panic.
.
Liu Zhong was seen retreating repeatedly, with a look of fear on his face. In the blink of an eye, the imperial city guards were no longer in front of Liu Zhong. They were not all killed, but were frightened by the murderous aura in Li Huan and did not dare to continue.
Stop Li Huan.
Looking at Li Huan walking towards him step by step, Liu Zhong said loudly: "Li Huan, you can't kill me. I am a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion and an important minister of the imperial court. You..."
The murderous intent flashed out of Li Huan's eyes, and the next moment Liu Zhong's head flew up. His mouth was still opening and closing, but unfortunately he could no longer make a sound. The corpse in the purple official body shook a little.
Then he fell to the ground with a thud, and blood spurted out, only splashing all over Li Huan.
Li Huan strode past Liu Zhong's fallen body without even looking at it.
Di Cheng, who was fighting with Yue Buqun, almost fainted when he saw Li Huan slash Liu Zhong with his sword. That was the head of Zhan Shifu, a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, a confirmed member of the cabinet, the most powerful person in the world.
Several powerful figures were killed by Li Huan with one blow.
One can imagine the shock in Di Cheng's heart. Yue Buqun seized the opportunity while he was distracted and slapped his chest with his palm, sending him flying backwards immediately.
With a "wow" sound, Di Cheng fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. He did not turn around and fight again. Instead, he jumped up and headed straight towards the Jinglan Palace in the distance.
Not to mention Yue Buqun, even Li Huan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. However, Li Huan was not too nervous. Instead, he strode around and glanced at the scattered Imperial City guards who were killed, and greeted Yue Buqun.
The others headed straight for Jinglan Palace.
In the Jinglan Hall, the Queen Mother Zhang was sitting there chanting sutras and praying for the emperor, when suddenly she saw a young chamberlain staggering in.
"The Queen Mother, something bad happened to the Queen Mother. She rebelled. Li Huan rebelled!"
With a crash, the Buddhist beads in the Queen Mother's hand were scattered all over the floor, and they rolled everywhere. Queen Mother Zhang saw a look of horror on her face and said: "Who, who rebelled?"
The little chamberlain said nervously: "Queen Mother, Li Huan led people to attack the palace. Fan Gang, the commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, was killed in Changjie. Changningbo Gao Changsheng was killed in front of the palace gate. Even Zhan Shifu of Zhan Shifu,
Liu Zhong, the great scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, was also killed by Li Huan in the palace because he led people to stop him. At this moment... at this moment Li Huan has already come to Jinglan Palace to kill him."
Empress Dowager Zhang swayed, her expression changed drastically and she said, "Is it Li Huan, the commander of the Jinyi Guards?"
The little chamberlain said in a trembling voice: "Yes, that's the murderous maniac."
Empress Dowager Zhang was shocked and said: "Quickly go and ask Li Dongyang, Yang Ting and several elders to pass the order and summon the British Duke to lead the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp to escort him. Hurry..."
The little chamberlain rolled and crawled out of the side hall.
The British Duke Zhang Mao, whom Empress Dowager Zhang was talking about, was not in the palace at the moment, but in the capital camp.
Jingying is the collective name for the hundreds of thousands of troops in the capital. In the early and middle Ming Dynasty, Jingying was the collective name for the Three Thousand Battalion, Shenji Camp, and the Five Military Camps. However, after the Tumubao Incident, the Five Army, Three Thousand, and Shenji Three
The essence of the big camp was drained out, and another twelve regiments and battalions were formed. The ones whose essence was taken away were divided into twelve regiments and battalions, which were also called the old camp.
After Yingzong's restoration, he changed the twelve regiments and battalions established by Yu Qian and reorganized the five armies, three thousand, and the three major battalions of Shenji. However, after Xianzong succeeded to the throne, the regiments and battalions were reestablished. Since then, the twelve regiments and battalions have become
An important part of the Beijing camp.
And Zhang Mao is now stationed in the Four Military Camps among the twelve regiment camps, namely the Four Camps of Fenwu, Yaowu, Lianwu, and Show of Wus.
Almost all the main generals of the Siwu Camp were sons of nobles, so Zhang Mao commanded the Jingying camp and had a certain influence on the Siwu Camp.
To be honest, the remaining battalions have already been deeply infiltrated by the civil service group. It can be said that without the Ministry of War's official documents, even Zhang Mao, the commander of the Beijing camp, may not be able to mobilize troops.
In the camp, Zhang Mao frowned and looked at the few nobles he had summoned, including Duke Cheng Zhu Fu, Xu Guangzha, Li Xi, Chen Jizu and other backbones among the nobles.
Xu Guangzha looked at Zhang Mao in confusion and said, "Old Duke, you summoned us here. Could it be that something happened in the capital?"
Zhang Mao glanced at a few people and said, "Your Majesty was assassinated and is still in coma. The situation in Beijing has changed drastically. You should be aware of this."
Xu Guangzhao nodded when he heard this and said: "Yes, Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, Fei Hong and others have long wanted to kill Liu Jin and his gang. Normally, with the emperor protecting him, there is nothing they can do, but this time His Majesty was robbed and fell into a coma.
It would be strange if they didn't take the opportunity to deal with Liu Jin's gang. But that's okay, just let them fight, what does it have to do with us?"
Chen Jizu, Li Xi and others also had the same look on their faces, obviously they had no intention of getting involved.
In fact, even Zhang Mao is mediocre. His noble group no longer has any real power. It would be better to watch from the sidelines as the civil servant group and the eunuchs fight to the death.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Mao suddenly said: "Li Huan has entered Beijing!"
Li Xi, who had just taken a sip of tea, squirted out the tea in one gulp, with a look of astonishment on his face and said: "What, Li Huan... He killed so many people in Fujian that all the civil and military officials gritted their teeth with hatred.
Li Huan? Isn't he in Fujian? How could he appear in the capital at this time?"
Not only Li Xi, but others also looked disbelieving.
Zhang Mao nodded slowly and said: "In the early morning, Li Huan entered my house at night, met with me, asked about His Majesty's situation, and then left."
Li Xi and others looked at each other and heard Li Xi say: "If you really want to say it, this Li Huan is also a talent. I'm afraid he is the only one in the world who dares to kill the civil service group. It's a pity that His Majesty is missing."
If I give him asylum, I'm afraid he will soon follow Liu Jin's footsteps. If I were Li Huan, I would never return to Beijing. If I return to Beijing at this time, wouldn't I be asking for death?"
Chen Jizu suddenly said: "Old Duke, you summoned us here, don't you think that Li Huan can cause any trouble?"
Zhang Mao glanced at everyone and said, "I have a hunch that Li Huan will cause a big mess."
Zhu Fu chuckled and said: "Old Duke, you think too highly of him. In this important place of the capital, facing Li Dongyang, Yang Ting and the five-city army and horse divisions and the army and horses of the capital camp under their control, Li Huan just stayed there.
That’s all, if you dare to make a scene, I’m afraid you’ll die miserably.”
While he was talking, there was a burst of rapid footsteps, and a private soldier from the British government came in a hurry. He prostrated himself and said: "My lord, Li Huan... Li Huan just led a team of royal guards.
He rushed to the imperial city and fled."
"He must be crazy!"
Zhu Fu, who had just said that Li Huan did not dare to cause trouble, almost jumped up and exclaimed.
Li Xi and others looked at each other.
After a while, Chen Jizu sighed: "Everyone said that Li Huan was a madman. Looking at it now, he really is a madman. If he wasn't a madman, how many people would dare to do such a thing at this time."
Not long after, another private soldier from the British government came to report.
"My lord, Li Huan slashed Fan Gang, the commander of the Five Cities' Army and Horses Division, who was blocking him on the long street. He broke through the Five Cities' Army and Horses Division's obstruction and rushed towards the imperial city."
At this moment, everyone was sitting there blankly, their faces were filled with shock and shock.
Suddenly, Zhang Mao stood up, glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone, please follow me and lead my troops to take a look."
Zhu Fu's expression changed after hearing this, and he said subconsciously: "Old Duke, do we really want to join in? Li Huan's move will only lead to death. It is impossible for him to enter the palace..."
Zhang Mao's eyes fell on Seize the Opportunity, Li Xi, and Xu Guangzha and asked, "What do you mean?"
Chen Jizu said: "I will listen to the old Duke. I will do whatever the old Duke says."
The rest of them looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally nodded.
Zhang Mao was shocked and said: "In that case, let's go and join in the fun. Aren't you curious whether Li Huan can enter the imperial city? If he enters the imperial city, how will he protect himself? It's impossible for him to
The Jinyiwei rebelled based on that."
As he said this, even Zhu Fu and others couldn't help but laugh. Not to mention anything else, even if they brought the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp, they couldn't just sit back and watch Li Huan rebel.
In the side hall of Jinglan Hall, Yang Tinghe, Li Dongyang, Fei Hong, Mao Ji and others who stayed here felt a little uneasy after Liu Zhong led his people away.
Fei Hong hesitated and said: "Everyone, why don't we go and take a look so that nothing happens?"
Mao Ji and Liang Chu both looked at Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang.
Yang Tinghe took a deep breath and stood up and said, "In that case, let's go and have a look."
Several people stood up and left the side hall. Before they had taken a few steps, they saw a figure in the distance who was extremely embarrassed and stumbled over.
Liang Chu recognized the man at a glance as Di Cheng, who was pushed out by them to command the Imperial City Guards.
When they saw Di Cheng, Liang Chu and others couldn't help but change their expressions, and exclaimed: "Dicheng, what are you..."
Di Cheng fell to his knees with a thud and cried loudly: "My lords, Li Huan has rebelled. He has entered the imperial city. Lord Liu Zhong, he... he has been killed by Li Huan!"
"What, Liu Zhan was killed by Li Huan?"
It was said that it was Liang Chu, even Fei Hong, Yang Tinghe, and Li Dongyang had expressions of disbelief on their faces when they heard this.
That was a dignified bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, Zhan Shifu of Zhan Shifu, an important minister who was comparable to Jiuqing, and he was killed just like that.
And he was killed in the palace of the Ming Dynasty. This was really shocking. No wonder Li Dongyang and others looked shocked.
Di Cheng said in a panic: "Gentlemen, please leave quickly. Li Huan is crazy. He has already brought people to kill him. I'm afraid that by then even the gentlemen..."
While he was talking, he heard footsteps coming from a distance.
Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe, Fei Hong, Mao Ji, Liang Chu and others who were shocked by Di Cheng's words changed their expressions when they heard the footsteps, and subconsciously followed the sound and looked over.
At first glance, several people took a deep breath, with looks of horror on their faces.
Li Huan was seen holding an embroidered spring knife in his hand, wearing a flying fish suit and a large cloak. He looked handsome as a young man and had a good temperament, as if he was a born noble.
However, at this moment, Li Huan was full of evil spirits and was stained with blood. Even the embroidered spring knife had blood dripping on it. It was not known whether it was the blood of the killed Imperial City Guards or the blood of Zhan Shi Liu Zhong of Zhan Shi Mansion.
