Dark clouds hang low in the night sky, and muffled thunder rolls across the sky. The strong wind accompanying the heavy rain makes a whining sound, and howls of ghosts and wolves. Even at noon, the streets are still dark, with only countless grass
The crumbs rolled up and flew into the air.
As the thunder buzzed, a bolt of lightning struck down, and the sudden brightness illuminated countless wet faces. The patter of rain beat and raged, making people despair.
On the street, boots stepped on the stagnant water on the road, and the captain holding the hilt of his knife moved quickly along a row of eaves.
From time to time, a fast horse would fly beside them. The man on the horse, wearing a bamboo hat and raincoat, commanded the dragons coming from all directions.
"According to the order of the capital commander, all the captains in the inner east city are going to Yingchunfang to block the entrances and exits of Yingchunfang, especially the several ferries, without any mistakes."
No one dared to complain. Under the stern eyes, groups of people separated from the crowd, turned around, and faced the strong wind that made their sleeves bulge and the heavy rain that slapped their faces painfully.
Enter another dark street.
The people on horseback passed by one by one, and a knight suddenly came over, stationed his horse in the rain, circled the street a few times, and shouted: "Li Qianhu, is Li Qianhu here?"
The first wet person under the eaves ran out and responded: "It's Chen Hongyu and Chen Qianhu? What are your orders from Chen Qianhu?"
The person riding on the horse was Chen Hongyu. Chen Hongyu was soaked all over. He wiped the water on his face with his hand and said: "I was ordered by the commander to go to Honglu Temple with you. Your Majesty said, Honglu
The thieves over there at the temple are the most vicious, so to prevent any mistakes, it would be better for you and me to go together."
Li Qianhu didn't ask any more questions. He just said: "Then where did the commander go?"
Chen Hongyu said: "I went to Liu Ji's mansion."
Li Qianhu nodded. He looked calm on the surface, but there was already a turmoil in his heart. An hour ago, the order from the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen was passed down. Every Qianhu office made an urgent call to gather manpower at any time. Half a dozen people were ready at any time.
After an hour, all the yamen received orders again. Some went to the city gate, some surrounded the residence of the great scholar, some went directly to Honglu Temple, and some directly surrounded Wantong's house.
Such a big movement was something Li Qianhu had never experienced in his life. Even in the heyday of Jinyiwei, he had never been so arrogant. He even dared to surround a bachelor's house. This seemed to Li Qianhu in the past.
I feel like my life is too long.
But now, no one dares to disobey the commander's order. The reason is very simple. The commander is Liu Chengfeng. This reason may not seem very sufficient, but it is enough. This Liu Chengfeng has always been a person who obeys the rules and prospers when he goes against them.
The nature of death,
Although not everyone who obeys him can be as successful as Chen Hongyu and others, there are still many benefits. But if anyone dares to go against his will, he will definitely die. Over the years, this commander has made the master pull
Fell down
How many people had gone against him, and which one had a good end? Even Chen Rang, his colleague, was now timid and obeyed Liu Chengfeng. Therefore, as soon as the commander's order arrived, Li Qianhu
Didn't think of this at all
There seemed to be something wrong with the order, and he was not considering whether to execute it. He didn't even think about it. He directly issued the order, summoned all the personnel on duty in Qianhu Station, and risked his life without hesitation after burning a stick of incense.
It rained on the street.
In fact, it was not just the Jinyiwei who took to the streets. Such a big movement by the Jinyiwei had long made all parties uneasy. In Shuntian Mansion, several officials on duty heard the report. They were all stunned, with flashes of light on their faces.
A little panicked.
In fact, they didn't know Liu Chengfeng's intentions at all, or they didn't even know what Liu Chengfeng was going to do. After the incident happened, they immediately wrote a note and went to Beizhen Fusi with the tone of calling for an attack.
I asked Liu Chengfeng what he wanted to do, but someone over there reported that Liu Chengfeng had led the team out. As for what he wanted to do, the reason was very simple: to catch the rebels!
ridiculous……
No one here believes this argument. Although it is not clear day and night, but if there is a rebel party, how can we talk about it? Liu Chengfeng loves to be funny. He actually sent people to block the city gate. It is really outrageous.
.
"Is this Liu Chengfeng trying to rebel?"
The officials were drinking tea in a tight room and chatting worriedly.
"Probably not. Even though he, Liu Chengfeng, is very courageous, he would not dare to do such a thing. What's more, with just a few imperial guards, they can take people and rebel? It's really too weak. Even if they rebel, they should send out new troops.
, I asked people to see it, and there has been no movement in the new army barracks. Not to mention, it is said that the prince went to the new army camp today and has been sitting there. In such a heavy storm, His Highness the prince actually watched the new army.
Know how to fuck..."
"Can you do it? What can you do at this time?"
"You don't know this. The training of this new army is very harsh. It's nothing unusual to know how to do it at this time. At the end of last year, there was heavy snowfall. These people were not pulled out for training. It is said that there were some
The young man was frozen stiff and was carried back. The rules of this new army were formulated by Liu Chengfeng. This man always does things unexpectedly and strangely."
"But what should Shuntian Mansion do now? If Liu Chengfeng really wants to cause trouble, and there is no movement at all from Shuntian Mansion, and the court blames him, how can you and I handle it?"
"Let people see what's going on first. What else can we do? Send out the police officers to drive all these people back? That's all we can do now. I think the Dongchang side must also be thinking of a countermeasure. Alas...
That’s all.”
A group of people are talking. In fact, these people with scholar backgrounds have no ability to adapt to changes. They are just talking.
But when a wet guy walked in, everyone was frightened.
"My lords, the Jin Yiwei... The Jin Yiwei surrounded the residences of academicians Liu Ji and Wantong, and also surrounded Honglu Temple. The three floors inside and outside were filled with people. It is said that they even used knives."
All of a sudden, the room in the check-in room became quiet, and everyone did not dare to express their anger. No one must have expected this result. Someone actually drank tea in his mouth, and then kept drinking tea.
After a long time, someone finally slapped his thigh and said: "Quickly, report it to the cabinet, report it to the cabinet... Something happened!"
The so-called report to the cabinet actually means to invite the cabinet ministers for discussion. However, there has been no news from Liu Ji in the cabinet. Li Dongyang went to Jing County again. The only one who is still there is Xie Qian, but Xie Qian is not in the cabinet either.
In the official department.
When the news reached the official department, Xie Qian was stunned.
There was nothing wrong with him hating Liu Ji. It was also true that the emperor's sudden change in attitude towards Liu Ji made Xie Qian feel secretly happy. But this did not mean that someone could mess around. In Xie Qian's mind, defeating Liu Ji would not rely on force.
Yes, it depends on each memorial and each edict.
But that guy Liu Chengfeng was so happy that he surrounded people. What's going on? Is Liu Chengfeng going to rebel?
Ma Wensheng, who was originally discussing with Xie Qian, was also a little confused. He is a sincere gentleman. Although he also has a cunning side, he has never seen anything like this. After taking a breath, Ma Wensheng said: "Xie Gong, Liu Chengfeng
What do you want to do?”
Xie Qian looked angry and replied: "How do I know? This Liu Chengfeng is too bold. Zhou Cheng's account has not been settled yet. He is asking for death."
Ma Wensheng still hadn't come to his senses until now. After a long time, he said: "Could it be that Beizhen Fusi has official duties, and Liu Chengfeng received the secret order? Don't forget that Liu Chengfeng has a criminal record."
.”
Xie Qian sneered and shook his head: "In my opinion, this doesn't seem right. The emperor would not have such a decree. To deal with the cabinet bachelors, it is impossible for the imperial guards to come. Otherwise, Liu Ji will submit a letter to resign, and your majesty will directly draft it.
, why still
Liu Chengfeng is probably going crazy again. Hey, I've told you a long time ago that this guy is bound to be up to no good, but Binzhi always protects him. That's all. It's too late to say anything now.
The stakes are high and I must go to the palace."
Ma Wensheng said: "Why don't I go into the palace with Mr. Xie to meet him?"
Xie Qian shook his head and said: "It won't help if you go, but I have something to entrust to you. Liu Daxia has always been a bit bold, and now he is in charge of the Ministry of War. You go to him to discuss and let him prepare in advance.
If these pro-military forces dare to go too far, the court should be on guard as soon as possible."
After hearing this, Ma Wensheng felt that it made sense and hurriedly said: "I'll go as soon as I can."
The two men divided their forces into two groups. Xie Qian entered the palace in a sedan chair in the rain. When he arrived at the Meridian Gate, he quickly reported the news. However, he was impatient and was afraid that the eunuchs would delay their efforts and get out of the sedan chair, and his whole body would be drenched by the downpour of rain.
Seeing that it was clear, he shouted in embarrassment: "Get out of the way, no need to report. We do extraordinary things in extraordinary times. Come on, take me directly into the palace, and no one can stop me."
He rushed into the doorway in the rain, but the guard inside the doorway didn't know what to do. When he realized what to do, Xie Qian had already rushed in with water dripping from his face.
When the eunuchs in the palace saw the drowned Xie Qian rushing into the palace in embarrassment, they did not dare to neglect it. Umbrellas could not hold up such a heavy rain, not to mention that umbrellas were not allowed in the palace. This was also custom-made. After all, the umbrella and the canopy were
It was the same, which was a bit taboo, so someone went over with a raincoat to put it on Xie Qian.
