4224 Above Jingshan 2

Zaichun had already issued an order to gather all officials in the capital from the moment he climbed to Jingshan, and Jingshan became his temporary command center!

Why choose Jingshan instead of defending the Forbidden City? This is Zaichun’s cleverness!

First of all, Jingshan is located high and can see the movements in the north, especially in this era, there are no tall buildings blocking the view. People can see the outline of the entire inner city wall on the top of Jingshan!

People can see clearly which direction the enemy attacks from and which street, even late at night. It doesn’t matter because the fire and riots can point out the direction of the turmoil.

In fact, a very important point is that Zaichun still dares not be 100% sure that the Forbidden City is safe!

This palace is too old, and the people who serve it are passed down from generation to generation, and some are old slaves who have been serving for three generations since the Daoguang period!

Zai Chun couldn't judge who those people were loyal to. The enemy's attack might have been secretly opened by the city gate in ancient times!

The Beiyuan side is safer, because the predecessor of Beiyuan was some scattered palaces around Jingshan, which was not lively during the Qing Dynasty!

Among them, the Shouhuang Palace and the Guande Palace were always the places where the emperor and the empress died and stopped their souls in the Qing Dynasty! There are also many houses and buildings that were the nursing homes of the old palace maids and eunuchs before they were kicked out of the palace!

No one pays attention to this kind of place, and no big force is willing to intervene, so the staff is relatively simple!

Later, due to the civil war between the two empress dowagers, the empress dowager Dong was forced to defend Jingshan, and since then, the transformation plan of Beiyuan began!

It is equivalent to a piece of white paper to repaint, so the staff is simpler. With Empress Dowager Dong and Fu Qing in charge, Zaichun is safer!

Zaichun's original intention was to summon civil and military officials above the third rank and nobles of the royal palace in Jingshan to dispatch and command the quelling of the rebellion, and let these people see his military skills of Emperor Tongzhi!

But the higher the hope, the greater the disappointment. In one hour, half of the officials from the second rank and above in the capital came, and more than ten officials from the third rank were here!

And what about the royal family and the Eight Banner Prince? None of them has come yet, and no one has emerged!

Zaichun's heart was already cold to the end. He suddenly realized that he had been abandoned by the entire Manchu family!

Faced with the emperor's angry scolding, no one of the officials present dared to answer the words. After all, this is a conflict between your Aixin Gioro family and other large Manchu families. It is a family dispute, and who dares to speak out.

"Where is my uncle? Where is Prince Gong? Where is Prince Chun? Where is our famous hero? Are all gone? Well... It's great!"

Just when Emperor Tongzhi was hysterically angry, a voice came from the shadow behind the pine trees outside Wanchun Pavilion, "Your Majesty... Little... Nephew is here... No... No, it's all gone..."

Hum? Everyone followed the stuttering sound and searched back and forth, but they found a man in goose yellow casual outfit in the pine forest behind the guard.

"Prince Ding? Puxi?" No one expected that the honest and cowardly Prince Ding, who was a generation younger than the emperor, was actually the first royal family to come to Jingshan!

This prince who lives next to Prince Lao Li has always been honest and kind in vegetarian food and chanting Buddha's name. He did not dare to be involved in the ups and downs of the court!

After all, he is not a hereditary title. This title was granted after the death of Qianlong's eldest son Yonghuang! There are also grace titles in the middle when it decreases from generation to generation. By Puxi's generation, he is only a prince!

It's just such a coward, but in the eyes of Emperor Tongzhi, there is a little warmth in his heart, "Puxi! I'm so heartful, you really have heart..."

Puxi knelt on the ground to pay tribute to the emperor, and said stutteringly, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, don't worry... When the little minister came... I met Prince Chun on the way, the prince... The prince is taking his servants to quell the rebellion..."

Puxi was timid and couldn't understand after talking for a long time. At this time, Hunchun had already reached the top of Jingshan with this person!

"Prince Chun Yixun, please bow to Your Majesty... Your Majesty is so safe!" The fifth master finally came, and the people around him finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Yi Qi was murderous today. A stream of blood was rushing to his nose from the black cloak, dark blood was splattered on it. Two pistols were tied around his waist, and the guard behind him also held the sword given to the prince!

"Your Majesty, I have encountered many rebellious bandits robbing along the street from Deshengmen. I have to kill people... Not many, I have killed more than twenty, and I have personally killed five..."

"It's urgent to follow the power, and it's time to waste. Please atone for your sins!"

"Okay...why are you guilty of this? You have to kill these rebellions, just kill them completely! Since Uncle Wu is here, what's wrong with me?"

"I ask you, can Xishan Camp be safe?"

Yi Qi wiped the sweat from his head and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I came to the city to attend the wedding! I brought all the senior officials at the battalion level and above in Xishan Camp. Gordon led the military police team to the city!"

"Please rest assured that Xishan camp cannot be in chaos... I guess at most only a few hundred people will cause trouble! At this moment, the nine gates are all in our hands, so they cannot attack!"

"As long as the thugs outside the city see that the city gate is not open at all, they will retreat in despair! The chaos is not that serious, and the thugs will calm down!"

"Haha... Uncle Wu means to let me hold on! Wait until dawn to quell the riots naturally? But it was only midnight before dawn, and it was still early, what if the situation was serious?"

It was really what he said. As soon as Zaichun finished speaking, he heard a panting shout from the middle of Jingshan Mountain, "Report... Report...Andingmen urgently..."

The sentry kneeling on the ground was soaked with sweat. She took several breaths before she could speak, "Report...Report to Your Majesty...General Bai Min from Qinghe Construction Site... sent someone to send emergency military information..."

"Rumors are everywhere in Qinghe construction site, and 40,000 factory slaves are rioting... They attack the garrison and rob weapons... countless meticulous works in the crowd are inciting factory slaves to rebel..."

"Rumors say that the capital Xizhimen and Deshengmen have been captured... These people are going to break into the capital from Deshengmen... They... They also said..."

"Tell me quickly... you are breathing heavily!" Yi Qi stomped his feet anxiously.

"Yes... they have already shouted the slogan of rebelling against His Majesty... These people are here to rebel, and they want to kill the emperor..."

Boom... It's a big fuss on Jingshan. The ministers couldn't believe their ears. Weng Tonghe, Li Hongzao and other scholars knelt on the ground.

"You are so ruthless! You are unforgivable... Your Majesty cannot indulge them, you can't!"

Zaichun's two tears flowed across his cheeks, "Haha... It's so good! It's so good... Throughout history, even if those traitors want to rebel, they will still pose the banner of clearing the king's side!"

"They always call for the killing of the treacherous and polite lords and priests, and create an illusion of justice... and finally attack the emperor!"

"But now? They are already impatient and want to rebel directly and kill the emperor... OK, okay, that's great!"

"Yi Qiong, Hunchun... kneel down and receive the order!"
