Fall of Nanjing(1/2)
The Jinyiwei Courtyard was empty.
When Yunqi heard the footsteps behind him, he subconsciously covered the silver notes in his arms. However, he did not look back, and pinched the charcoal strips and wrote on the door.
"When did you come back?"
"It's a city outside, Brother Rong, don't you go to guard the emperor?"
Rong Qing said: "Brother Yun, everyone in the imperial court said that you have betrayed, are you really betrayed?"
Yun Qi pondered for a moment and nodded, "Yun Wen gave me poisonous wine to kill me, don't betray me, are you standing and waiting to die like my father?"
The clouds are vigorous and free to write, leaving the characters on the door panel, then lowering their heads slightly, seeing the hazy snowy night light, casting Rong Qing's shadow at his feet.
Rong Qing held the knife with one hand and his right hand trembled slightly.
"Since you have betrayed, why bother to come back?"
"I can't let you go." Yunqi replied casually: "When I was away, what would Yun Wen do to you?"
Rong Qing replied: "Same as before."
Yunqi ordered: "Go and call back the brothers of the Jinyiwei, and everyone rest in the yard."
Rong Qing responded, but could not move his footsteps. The surroundings were extremely quiet, only the rustling sound of the falling snow. After a while, the shouts of war between the army came from afar. Cannons fired, and a flame swept across half of the sky, dyeing the night in the capital red.
"Brother Rong." Yun Qi did not turn around. In the empty courtyard, the scenery suddenly blurred a little, and then returned to clarity, like the dizziness caused by ischemia: "I have been thinking about one thing."
"What's the matter?" Rong Qing asked nervously.
Yun Qi said tiredly: "What happened to Lan Yu back then."
Tuoba Feng opened his arms, like a gray eagle in a snowy night, jumping between the roofs. Xu Huizu chased after him, and his white robe fluttered in the snow.
Jianfeng reached behind him, Tuoba Feng pressed the ground with one hand, flipped his heel, and drew a beautiful curve with his feet, and the warrior boots stirred up snow powder.
Backhand, draw the sword!
Three clangs sounded and completed in one go. Xu Huizu's arms were sore and numb that he was shocked to retreat three times. Tuoba Feng shook the seven-star sinking wood, and a powerful force that stuck to Xu Huizu, throwing it horizontally!
Tuoba Feng stabbed with two swords and mocked, "The city is about to break out, and my second uncle won't go to guard the dog emperor, why are you pestering me?"
Xu Huizu pulled a sword flower, and the soft sword raised his hand in a slight slight moment, and turned into Tuoba Feng's fierce sword style, shouting: "Capture the king first to capture the thief, and throw him into the rat and avoid weapons. Today, he will fight for the Xuande Gate and break it, and you must be taken down first!"
Tuoba Feng's eyes were as quiet as water, and he stretched forward with one hand, provocatively attacking Xu Huizu.
Xu Huizu was furious. When he was about to chase after the sword, he left the gun outside the city and rushed into the city with a roar, smashing the two of them to pieces!
There was a house with a fire lit up in front of the two, and there were constant crying in the house.
Tuoba Feng replied: "Feng is just a guard, no one cares. If you want to take me as a hostage, you are too proud of me."
Xu Huizu said in a deep voice: "It's enough for my little brother to care about you."
Tuoba Feng asked, "What did you say?"
Xu Huizu said angrily: "One person in Yunqi is enough to care about your life!"
Tuoba Feng wanted to hear Xu Huizu repeat it again, and immediately said happily: "My second uncle said it well!"
"..." Xu Huizu was speechless.
Xu Huizu was about to rush forward, but Tuoba Feng turned around and ran away, running with all his strength and running without a trace.
"The Jinyiwei is the most trusted confidant around the emperor." Yun Qi said seriously: "From Emperor Taizu to Yunwen, what is the inconvenience to hand over to his subordinates? All the Jinyiwei did it."
Rong Qing replied: "It's just a bunch of dogs. The emperor's affairs have always made the Jinyiwei make many enemies..."
Yun Qi said: "So if you want to frame the ministers, this matter must not be done explicitly. You can only rely on your confidants, such as the Lan Yu case."
Rong Qing remained silent and Yun Qi asked again: "When the late emperor was in power, he handled the Lan Yu case and sent me and Lao Ba to investigate. The complexity of the agency was quite consuming our minds..."
Rong Qing suddenly said, "So you let Brother Qin go?"
Yun Qi's lips curled up slightly, and did not answer Rong Qing's question positively, but instead said interestingly: "The emperor wanted to trap Lan Yu's rebellion, sent someone to lay off perjury, and then sent the chief and deputy envoy of the Jinyiwei to find out, so he confiscated Lan Yu's family, implicating more than 20,000 people..."
"Isn't that normal?" Rong Qing interrupted, "What's wrong?"
Yun Qi said carelessly: "In theory, Lao Ba and I were the confidants of the late emperor at that time. So who was the one sent by the late emperor to frame General Lan Yu? This is strange."
Rong Qing took a step back and stepped in the snow, making a "sand" sound.
"Brother Yun, do you think there are spies among Brother Jinyiwei?"
Yun Qi smiled and said, "The word spy is an exaggeration. Taizu is very suspicious. Even Master Jiang believes that I and Laoba are not convinced. It is understandable. It is just a secret stance. Being a minister is careful and not touching the reverse scale, it doesn't matter. It is originally Yun Ge'er's fault, but my senior brother is in prison and gives the glass of poisonous wine. I can't understand..."
"... Let's talk about it in detail, the late emperor seemed to leave this secret stake to Taifu Huang, or the emperor?" Yun Qi said coldly: "Brother Rong, have you not noticed it at all over the years?"
Rong Qing pondered for a moment, then replied: "No, how did you know that the late emperor handed over the eyeliner to the emperor?"
Yunqi said slowly: "Because Yunwen was about to kill me, Tiexuan was holding the Shangfang sword of the Jinyiwei in his hand."
"When I left the capital, who did I hand over the Shangfang sword to?"
"Rongqing!"
Yun Qi shouted angrily, turned around, and Rong Qing instantly pulled out the embroidered spring sword from his waist.
Yun Qi threw out the charcoal strip with his right hand, flipped his left hand, pulled out his sword, waved it with his backhand, and with Rong Qing's "ding", the two swords touched each other and sparked.
Rong Qing gritted his teeth and shouted: "Yunqi! Come with me to see the emperor!"
Yun Qi swept across the blade, sprinkling a sharp sword light. Rong Qing raised the knife to block the frame. Yun Qi furiously said, "It's you!"
The Yunqi sword style is very different from Tuoba Feng. Tuoba Feng's sword path is very open and closed, and he slashes with force. He is taking a fierce road, but Yunqi's sword moves are strange and changeable. When he raises the sword, the angle is tricky and vicious when the sword is dropped. Rong Qing immediately lost and retreats.
Rong Qing yelled: "Yunqi! As a minister, you are unfaithful and unrighteous! Your father is a founding hero..."
Yun Qi waved his sword cleanly and withdrew his knife, he used his huge rush to knock Rong Qing out of the hospital.
Rong Qing kicked his feet suddenly and fell to the tree. When he turned over, he had an extra musket in his hand, pointing at Yunqi.
"Follow me to the Taihe Palace." Rong Qing gasped for a while and said, "The Taifu knows you will come back."
Yun Qi's wrist turned slightly, and Rong Qing threatened: "Don't move! Put away your hidden weapon! Otherwise, you will be killed!"
"Those who know the appearance will walk ahead... Let's go!" Rong Qing said erectly: "Don't imagine escaping again!"
Yun Qi sneered: "The emperor still wants to see me?"
Rong Qing replied: "At this time, I still think that the emperor will spare you? Let me tell you the truth, Xu Yunqi, the Grand Tutor will tie you outside the Meridian Gate... Thousand Daggers..."
"...shot." Tuoba Feng's plain voice came from behind. Before Rong Qing's finger could pull the trigger, he swung the heavy sword behind his head. A snow-white cicada-winged knife flew in front of him, attacking him from front and back, and ice silk wrapped around the musket and pulled it from a distance.
With a "bang", the gunshots were fired into the sky, Rong Qing's eyes went black, and he was hit by Tuoba Feng and fainted on the ground.
Yun Qi wiped his cold sweat and said, "Don't kill him."
Tuoba Feng put his sword back and said lightly: "The spies are ambushing outside Wuyan Building, everyone knows we are back."
The fire swallowed the main street of Nanjing, and the fighting and shouting were getting closer. Yunqi knew that the city had been broken, and the brothers Zhu Di and Zhu Quan had attacked the inner city.
"Let's go and join the army." Tuoba Feng stretched out his hand.
Yun Qi was quiet for a moment and said, "Where is the second brother? I want to go outside the Meridian Gate to take a look."
The fire burned along the imperial city. Changqing Palace, Ciyan Palace, and Yangxin Palace collapsed one after another. Three lines of defense were built outside the Taihe Palace. The Wumen Guards fought desperately at the inner city gate to resist the three guards of Duoyan. A huge copper gate blocked outside the Wumen Gate. In the square, there were forty-seven Jinyiwei, who were lined up, lined up, each wearing embroidered spring swords and flying fish suits.
He pushed inward again, Zhu Yunwen stood at the highest point of the stairs, surrounded by dense eunuchs.
Huang Zicheng's lips trembled and he looked at the door in horror. The copper gate was poured by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, weighing 2,000 pounds.
Zhu Yunwen calmed down instead, and the sky showed white whiteness. The dawn was about to come to Nanjing in half an hour, and it was another new day, but his life was about to end.
Yunqi and Tuoba Feng passed through the harem all the way and stopped outside the imperial study.
"What are you looking at?" Tuoba Feng tilted his head and looked left and right.
A pair of words hung in the middle of the imperial study room, the first book is: b> Half like the sun and half like the moon, I was bitten by a golden dragon.b>
Yun Qi suddenly said, "What did the last sentence of the late emperor when he died?"
Tuoba Feng said blankly: "I don't understand."
Yunqi murmured, "He said, Liu Ji's sauté song..."
Tuoba Feng said: "This is the word "Shaobing Song?"
Yun Qi nodded and said, "In the past, Taizu had to be summoned to the palace. Taizu covered something with a bowl and asked Liu Bowen to calculate..." Yun Qi turned around and entered the imperial study room, standing under the inscription looking up: "This should be Hu Weiyong's word, Hu Weiyong is the teacher of the prince Zhu Biao."
"Half like the sun and half like the moon, I was bitten by a golden dragon." Tuoba Feng smiled and said, "Is it a sesame cake?"
Yun Qi nodded and said, "The bowl is the sesame cake that the late emperor took a bite."
"The defense is tight and there is no need to worry, I am afraid that Beiyan will fly into Beijing..."
Yun Qi couldn't help but sweaty hairs stood upside down and took a step back: "Senior brother, do you remember this word... when did it hang here?"
Tuoba Feng said: "It has been since we were a child."
Yun Qi said in a trembling voice: "Liu Ji... I know everything! This is something that happened decades later!"
"Northern Yan...Northern Yan flew into Beijing, and he was talking about King Yan!" After Yun Qi said this, even Tuoba Feng felt a chill behind him.
Yunqi and Tuoba Feng's eyes moved down, and saw several sentences on the inscription: b> "The imperial guards in this city are all personally expeditioned, and the mountains and rivers in the courtyard are in full swing" b>
To be continued...
