Chapter 1680 Ren Zijuan is surging (1)

Niu Jizong climbed onto the Yanqing city wall a little anxiously and looked to the east.

 Victory or defeat depends on today. It can be said that after so many years of hard work, it all depends on this round.

He had a general understanding of Prince Yoshitaka's layout, but he didn't pay too much attention to the details.

This important matter is a matter of life and death for himself and Prince Teng, as well as for Prince Yohitada. No one dares to be careless. He also believes that with Prince Yohitada's character, he will make sure nothing goes wrong.

 So you only need to do what you should do well.

Just like Wang Ziteng absolutely believed in everything he and Prince Yi Zhong did, he only needed to do what he should do in Huguang.

 But no matter what the outcome, today the army must break through the pass and march eastward, but he hopes to get more reliable news.

 Because once the entire army marches eastward, it may have to face the entire imperial army.

That's fine, but more importantly, they may have to face a difficult reality, that is, facing the emperor's edict.

The Xuanfu Army is a direct lineage that has been managed painstakingly from Prince Teng to when he was the governor of Xuanda. They are loyal and he is very sure of his control.

 But this is when facing other people. What if we are facing an order from the imperial court and an edict from the emperor?

Niu Jizong was also not absolutely sure.

If this situation can be avoided as much as possible, it would be best. Even if there is no emperor's edict, then you can still question the Ministry of War's edict and compete for the honor of justice.

　Sometimes I feel that this great righteousness is meaningless, but sometimes this great righteousness is more important than anything else.

 So he would rather wait, just to have peace of mind.

Hurrying footsteps were heard on the horse road. Niu Jizong turned around suddenly, and the soldiers ran up panting and holding the carrier pigeon: "Sir, urgent message!"

Niu Jizong calmed down and nodded. The soldiers quickly took out the tied bamboo tube from the feet of the carrier pigeon, then took out the note from the bamboo tube and handed it to Niu Jizong.

Niu Jizong took the note and unfolded it.

There are only a few words on the note, but they are concise and to the point.

Niu Jizong trembled slightly at first, then frowned, and then relaxed. He just thought about it for a moment, and his face showed determination, "Okay, beat the drums and summon the generals immediately!"

Half an hour later, Xuanfu's horse-footed army, which had been prepared for a long time, surged out from the gate of Yanqing Acropolis like a flood, and quickly divided into three groups and rushed down in three directions: north, east and south.

Niu Jizong sat upright on his horse, watching the three groups of men and horses parting ways outside the city gate, his heart racing.

With a force moving south along Hekou, Baiyangkou and Zhenbiancheng, and controlling this area, the Xuanfu army of Yanqing Right Guard and Huailai Guard could move eastward along the Sanggan River without any bloodshed, and control the entire western defense of the capital city.

An army that goes north to control the Bohai Institute and Huairou County will be invincible if it controls this place. Even the army along the border wall in Ji Town has to consider whether it will be blocked if it wants to go south. .

The main force naturally marched all the way east, to Longhutai, Changping, Gonghua City, then Qinghedian and Zhengcunba, and finally Tongzhou, completely controlling the defense of the entire capital city from east to west.

As for the south, Niu Jizong didn't care much. There was no decent garrison there. The Xingzhou Middle Guards in Liangxiang and the Zhuolu Three Guards in Zhuozhou were not worth mentioning. They had long been reduced to garrison guards.

Niu Jizong did not want a big battle around the capital and in Jizhen. He only needed to launch a sudden attack to control the defense of the capital with lightning speed. The rest was just a bargain between Prince Yi Zhong, Emperor Yonglong and a few sons.

Oh, no, Zhang Chi, Zhang Qi, and Zhang Ji are not qualified to bargain. Perhaps the only person qualified to bargain is Emperor Yonglong, who is still unconscious.

Niu Jizong didn't know if he could be regarded as Shi Heng in the Qianming coup. Maybe Wang Ziteng could be regarded as Zhang Qian. He also didn't know who would be Xu Youzhen and Cao Jixiang, but he was sure that his side would be the winner. As long as the situation is under control, it doesn't matter whether Emperor Yonglong wakes up or not.

 The planning is up to man, the success is up to heaven, victory or defeat lies in one move!

  ************

By the time Feng Ziying noticed something unusual, it was already dark.

With the martial law in the Hunting Garden Palace, the entire palace was in panic. Even he was blocked in the courtyard by the sudden martial law.

Of course, he was not qualified to go hunting with him, so he simply slept peacefully in the afternoon. Who would have thought that when he woke up, all the palaces would be under martial law, and the entire hunting palace would be completely blocked, and no one would be able to enter or leave the palace. The courtyard, not to mention the hunting garden and the palace itself.

His attempts to let people go out to inquire were rebuffed, and soldiers from the Fourth Guards Battalion took over the area under martial law.

 The atmosphere was tense, which surprised Feng Ziying.

Even if there is a big hunt today and a heirloom is decided, it will not cause such a turmoil. The emperor has decreed it. Are the other princes and concubines not ready to accept it? Do they really want to be sent to confinement immediately and not be able to come out for life? No one is so unwise, right?

"What's going on?" Although Feng Ziying realized that something might have happened, she still couldn't imagine what happened. Looking at the appearance of the soldiers in the Fourth Guard Camp, it was obvious that they didn't know what happened. whats the matter.

 Wu Yaoqing and several accompanying guards were also at a loss.

Wu Yaoqing hesitantly stuck his head out and looked around, but he couldn't see any clues.

Although there are soldiers from the Four Guards Camp in front of each small courtyard to maintain martial law, under each small courtyard in this palace, there are almost all clan members and officials who are waiting for an interview, or who have not left after the interview, regardless of their status. not bad.

Feng Ziying is probably the lowest ranking person, and should be a third-grade minister. But a fourth-grade official like him, who is also a local official, is really unique.

"Sir, why don't you arrange for someone to go out and take a look?" Wu Yaoqing hesitated. Although the few people who followed him did not dare to say that they could fly over eaves and walls, they could still climb out of the back wall of the yard and inquire about the situation. , Of course, this must be risky. The surrounding area is almost full of Shangsanqinjun. If there is any special situation, once discovered, I am afraid it will cause endless trouble.

"No." Feng Ziying categorically shook her head. At this time, the situation is unclear and she must not give anyone a clue. Especially when Feng Ziying has a bad premonition, a little carelessness will arouse suspicion. Feng Ziying does not want to be tainted with anything at this time. Suspect.

"Outside is the Fourth Guard Camp, which I'm not very familiar with." But waiting like this is not an option. Closing your eyes and listening is the most dangerous thing. Feng Ziying said in a deep voice: "I'm not familiar with Commander Du Keli. I only have a one-time acquaintance. I don't know. Will you buy my face? But you have to give it a try. If you can’t get out, you should at least find out what happened..."

Feng Ziying pushed open the courtyard door. A group of soldiers guarding the courtyard door immediately looked over with vigilant eyes. A sergeant who looked like a small flag came over: "Master Feng, please forgive me. We have also received orders. We do not intend to embarrass anyone." , please come into the hospital."

"Oh, do you recognize me?" A smile appeared at the corner of Feng Ziying's mouth, which made it much easier to handle. "I wonder if you can inform me of your commander. I don't mean to embarrass you, but it is difficult in this situation. If this continues, please tell me what happened, or should I see your commander?"

"We don't know exactly what happened. We only know that an order was issued suddenly. Not only our Fourth Guard Camp, but also the entire Shangsanqinjun and Shenshu Camp have been placed under martial law. Prince Zhonghui is now in command... "

 It can be seen that this small flag is still very spiritual and does not cover up much. "As for your meeting with the commander, I'm afraid it won't be easy, but I can report it."

“Then I’ll bother you.” Feng Ziying nodded with a smile, then turned around: “I’m here waiting for your good news.”

 Back in the courtyard, Feng Ziying's face was already frighteningly gloomy.

He can be sure that this is not as simple as a **** Dashou Dinghu. Something happened, and something happened to Emperor Yonglong himself. Otherwise, how could the Sanqin Army and Shenshu Camp be under martial law at the same time?

 King Zhonghui is now in charge of the palace, what is the use of his position?

How long has he been the military envoy of the Beijing Camp and the general of the Fifth Military Camp?

 Who will listen to him at this time?

Even if he is not as good as himself, at least there is He Huchen in the Fifth Army Camp and Yang Zhaoji in the Shenji Camp who can listen to him.

 What happened?

 Assassinated?

 Suddenly seriously ill?

 Unconscious?

 Even imprisoned?

The last one is obviously impossible. No one has been able to put Emperor Yonglong under house arrest. Even the Supreme Emperor and Prince Yi Zhong can't do it. After all, he has been the emperor for ten years. He still has this little control. Emperor Yonglong still has the ability to control the emperor. firmly grasped.

If Emperor Yonglong had not worried too much and it turned out that the Supreme Emperor had been in power for too long and was too powerful, the Beijing camp should have been replaced by Emperor Yonglong's own people long ago. It is indeed too late to take action now.

"Yao Qing, we can't wait like this anymore. I'm afraid we have to take risks." Taking a deep breath, Feng Ziying immediately overturned her original considerations. At this time, she could only take risks. "Arrange someone to take a look at the backyard wall." , can we leave from the back?"

Wu Yaoqing nodded, waved his hand, and the two guards quickly climbed up the backyard wall, looked around, and immediately came down, "Sir, there are soldiers on duty at the entrance of the corridor behind, but we can climb over from the other yard in front to the opposite side, then There seems to be no one living there, it’s all vacant, and there’s probably no one on duty behind the yard over there.”

These are two rows of courtyards back to back, but the front row of courtyards is uninhabited because it is being renovated. If you live in the southern courtyard, you can indeed avoid the guards of the Four Guards Camp if you turn to that side.

“It’s just that I’m afraid the entire outside world has given up smoking. Even if you leave this area, it’s still difficult to move forward.” Wu Yaoqing said hesitantly.

"Take my post and this seal, go directly to the gate of the inner palace, where you can directly see King Zhonghui." Feng Ziying took the seal from the bag and handed it to the other party, "Go directly to King Zhonghui, he recognizes me. Personal seal, ask him to send someone to take me out immediately, I want to know all the situation immediately."
