Chapter 41 The Battle of Beijing (1)
The left and right prime ministers looked sad, looked up at Emperor Yan and said, "Emperor, I will do my best to assist the prince, protect my great Yan and prosper the country..." Then he cried.
Emperor Yan's eyes flashed. He couldn't even nod such a move at this moment. What happened to blink. Xiao Yun had already held his hand, and at this moment he found that the hand seemed to have been drained and drooped softly. He exclaimed: "Father, Father!"
No response.
"Father!" he shouted, his head knocking against the edge of the bed. At this time, everyone realized something, and they were all in a mess. The head of the Imperial Hospital who was the only one who stayed inside trembled and trembled, and knelt down and kowtowed.
Jiang Chao cried and shouted: "The emperor has passed away!"
He knelt down inside and outside, and the crying sounded shook the sky.
No one noticed, a small signal arrow exploded in the dark night.
Not long afterwards, a fire broke out in four places in Changyuan City at the same time. The firelights together, which naturally caused chaos, cries and firefighting sounds. These four places are places where high-ranking officials and nobles in the city live together. The firelights together, countless servants guarding the courtyard rushed out to put out the fire.
However, the people in the fire did not have time to complain, and they did not see a group of men in black rushing out in the busy fire. In the fire, these people were covered in their faces, but the hatred burst out in their eyes was so strong. I couldn't see how many were there, as if there were endless devils coming out of the night, and the sharp blades reflected the firelight, which made people frightened. The men in black rushed towards the unarmed servants who were busy putting out the fire and defending the house, rushing all the way, without stopping too much, and soon disappeared into the night, leaving more than a dozen bloody corpses. The housekeepers who had run away quickly dared to stand up to save the people, and ran to report to the officials.
Soon the sound of horse hooves sounded on the street. This was the cavalry team of the Imperial City who was rushing to see the fire. After a few simple words, I learned about the situation and followed the direction of the man in black. However, as soon as I left the light source, I heard screams. The generals who led the team quickly pulled the horse's head and sent a few people to check it out. The thieves were actually hiding in the dark. The generals felt something was wrong and quickly arranged for their subordinates to prepare for the battle. At the same time, they sent people to inform the leader Dai Yuxiang. These thieves were not simple, and they were afraid they had a great background and needed reinforcements.
Because the emperor's situation was not good, Dai Yuxiang had not returned home these days and had been on duty in the barracks of the Bingmasi. First, there was a fire everywhere, and he felt that it was not good. Then his subordinates came to report that a thief was hurting people. Dai Yuxiang was so angry that he overturned the table. Although he didn't know who did it, he had to wash the capital for the throne. Even if such a person was on the throne, it would not be a blessing for the people, and he would never tolerate it!
Standing on the high palace walls, the entire capital was almost in full view. In the dark night, such obvious firelight made people see it very clearly.
On the city wall, several people hurriedly observed their expressions and ran into the palace. After passing through one door after another, the same news spread to the harem through one mouth after another. Finally, it reached Jiang Chao, the chief general of Tai'an Palace. Jiang Chao knew something was wrong, and this was going to be in chaos! He ran to the empress dowager tremblingly and knelt down. At this time, only the empress dowager was the biggest.
He knelt down and couldn't think: "Empress Dowager, thieves broke into the capital and killed and set fire in the city. What should I do? You should give me an idea?"
"What!" The Empress Dowager stood up in shock. The ministers who had changed into mourning clothes and knelt on the ground and cried, cried. This news could have a greater impact on them than the death of the emperor. After all, their families were all in the city, so who knew whether they had been affected!
What's going on?
how so?
Where did the thief come from?
This is awesome!
...
There were doubts, doubts, shocks, but no one said anything useful. Xiao Yun turned around and was about to speak, but King Xian had already stood up and walked towards the empress dowager, saying, "What are the people in the Bingma Si doing? Go and catch these thieves!"
Jiang Chao replied: "The commander has assigned several troops to capture them, but the thieves come and go like the wind and seem to be prepared. It is night again, so the situation has not been controlled yet."
Xiao Quan: "The crisis in the capital city must be controlled with all our strength to avoid hurting the people in the city!" He looked at the Empress Dowager again and said anxiously: "My mother, you have to make an idea at this time, don't just care about sadness. The emperor's funeral and the stability of the imperial city are also required to take care of you!"
Several court officials looked at Xiao Yun, who had no room for speech, then looked at Xiao Quan, who had not shut up for a moment, and the empress dowager who suddenly stopped crying and looked as if she was no less than me. Suddenly no one spoke.
The Empress Dowager also noticed something wrong, but she didn't care about so much at this time. She wiped her cheeks with a veil and said, "Don't worry, if you have Ai's family here, you will definitely ask these thieves to come and go! Come on, go and call Zhuang Zheng in!"
Zhuang Zheng quickly came in and knelt down and said, "What instructions does the Empress Dowager have?"
The Empress Dowager said: "If there is any abnormal movement in the capital, please immediately ask all your people to guard the imperial city, and no one is allowed to enter or exit. If a thief breaks into it, you can only ask!"
Zhuang Zheng did not dare to raise his head and kowtowed to agree.
One of the ministers came from the Empress Dowager Lin clan. At this time, he stepped forward to support the Empress Dowager, one on the left and one on the right, and comforted him, "Don't worry, the only few thieves are definitely not worth worrying." Xiao Quan said again, "I heard that these thieves are prepared. It is still unknown whether those people in Dai Yuxiang and Zhuang Zheng's hands can defeat them. Why not transfer the troops from the two camps of the north and south to Beijing to protect the people and the families of many officials?"
The troops and horses of the north and south camps need to be mobilized by the emperor himself to keep the tiger talisman.
More importantly, several of the officers in the camp had a harmonious relationship with Xiao Quan.
The Queen Mother was hesitating.
An old minister suddenly spoke: "Your Highness, what do you think?"
At this time, Xiao Yun was like everyone else, no longer kneeling in front of the bed and crying. The tears on his cheeks were not dry, but his eyes were clear and clear, and there was no panic. When asked suddenly, he responded without hesitation: "Gu believes that Commander Dai can handle it well, and there is no need to transfer two camps of troops into the capital. It is important to know that the soldiers of the camps must not enter the city without the national difficulties! The rash exit from the city to send orders can easily cause people to speculate about riots. What if there are thieves outside the city ambush and wait for an opportunity to enter the city? Gu thought that the thieves suddenly broke out and there would be no need to worry about it. When our soldiers and soldiers of the military personnel took action, those thieves had nowhere to hide, which would be fine."
Lord Lin said anxiously: "Your Highness is in the palace, so naturally he doesn't know the situation outside the palace. Your family is all in the city. If you are rushed in by a thief, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Xiao Quan said before Xiao Yun: "The prince is still young and has poor thoughts, so don't blame him."
