Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 509 Charge to the Ultimate Emperor Gate ([-]rd update)
Inside the palace.

Chongzhen had just finished comforting his son when he heard two more cannon shots.

He is very sensitive to the sound of gunfire.

When the Hou Jin Tartars entered Beijing, there were always cannons in the city.

On the contrary, very few arrows were shot from the archery tower.

Because of the soldiers in the Beijing camp, many people couldn't draw their bows and arrows.

Even if you pull it away, you won't be able to shoot.

It's better to fire a cannon, which can also strengthen your courage and scare people.

"In the imperial city, why are there cannons?"

too close!
Chongzhen felt like firing cannons outside the gate of the imperial city.

Such a sound could be heard in the palace, what a tragic explosion at Wang Gong Factory!
Hearing Chongzhen's roar, the surrounding eunuchs and maids knelt on the ground, unable to answer the emperor's question.

As for the big Han generals around them, they were even more uneasy.

Because the job of standing guard is almost not dangerous except for being a little tired.

But when they heard the sound of the cannon, it seemed as if someone was attacking the imperial palace outside the Chengtian Gate.

I have never heard of anyone trying to usurp the throne recently!

Most of them are descendants of nobles, and no one in the family can give them a sigh of relief!
Jin Yiwei and the imperial guards hurried over to escort them.

He Jinchao's order to bombard the Jitan of Daming She was just an appetizer.

He also entered the right gate of Chang'an with his own cavalry, and found that Gao Yingxiang had gone straight to the left gate of Chang'an. There seemed to be someone working there, probably an official from the Ministry of Rites.

In addition to the place where the rankings are released, the left gate of Chang'an is also where the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War draw lots to select officials, review the rural examination papers, the examination papers and the qualifications of candidates, but some people are busy.

Now there is chaos, many people have fallen to the ground, and the horses are like mud.

Gao Yingxiang remembered He Jinzhao's words, and walked all over Tianjie.

When you arrive at Paradise Street, you have already come, so you have to step on it once!
He Jinzhao looked again and saw that the gate of Chengtian Gate was open, as long as he crossed the Jinshui Bridge, he could reach the Meridian Gate.

The soldiers of the Ming army at the gate of the city had already run away.

"Brother Gao, let's take some people to charge in on horseback. If we can't enter the Meridian Gate, we have to blast his mother twice to enjoy it."

Gao Yingxiang discovered just now that the Chengtian Gate was wide open and there were no guards.

It's just that he was still a little afraid of the imperial power, so he took control of the left gate of Chang'an first, and waited for He Jinchao's decision.

Ever since he got to know He Jinzhao, he felt that this kid was a complete rebel leader, and he didn't have the slightest fear of imperial power in his heart.

"Let's go in?" Gao Yingxiang explained in a low voice: "It went so smoothly, I thought it was all a trap."

"Chongzhen didn't have the courage to open the gate of the imperial palace as a trap to hunt you and me, and what's more, we played under the guise of the leader of the alliance.

Chongzhen felt that his face was the most important thing. We stepped his face on the ground and peed on his face, and he had to endure it.

Brother Gao, the Beijing camp of the Ming Dynasty has long been rotten. Let's see how powerful the personal guards of the dog emperor Chongzhen are? "

He Jinzhao squeezed the bow and arrow in his hand: "No one knows that we are here to raid the palace, so we just take advantage of the chaos and mess with him. When he reacts, we will withdraw."

"it is good."

Gao Yingxiang looked at the plaque of Chengtianmen and clutched his spear, rekindling his ambition.

I have rebelled, why are you afraid of the Ming Emperor?
What I want to do today is to trample on the imperial power and call on the people of the world to rebel against Ming Dynasty!
He Jinzhao gave another order, asking people to guard the left and right gates of Chang'an, and at the same time asked Yang Maochun to pull a big general cannon to follow in.

Instruct Gao Yigong to take the remaining cannons to bombard the Taimiao on the left, so that the ancestors of the Ming Emperor will also listen.

The clatter of horseshoes sounded as they crossed the Jinshui Bridge.

He Jinchao bent his bow and set an arrow, and hit the plaque of Chengtianmen with one arrow.

"Hahaha, good."

When Gao Yingxiang stepped into the Chengtian Gate, brother He was the first to make an appearance, how could he fall behind?

He found that the eunuchs and officials around him ran away, or they were hiding in the room and dared not come out.

As for the guards, there were no guards in the face of this group of raiding rebels.

He Jinzhao originally wanted to set off cannons outside the Meridian Gate, but he never thought that the main entrance of the Meridian Gate would be open.

"What's going on? I remember that you are not allowed to leave on weekdays."

The main gate of the Meridian Gate is generally only accessible to the emperor, and it is closed on weekdays. The empress can walk once during her wedding.

Ministers of civil and military affairs enter and exit the east door, and clan princes enter and exit the west door.

Hearing He Jinzhao's question, Uncle Nanxiang Zhang Guangcan hurriedly replied: "The number one scholar, second place, and Tanhua in the palace examination can walk through the main entrance of the Meridian Gate once."

"Haha." He Jinzhao laughed twice: "It's really here today."

On the Meridian Gate, there are naturally guards standing guard.

Because this is the layout of the entire imperial city, which is equivalent to a small defense system, with arrow towers at all four corners.

Similarly, there are lofts covering the city wall, and guards are stationed on it, so that the wind cannot blow and the rain cannot drench.

Ever since Yongle moved the capital in the Ming Dynasty, has anyone stormed the imperial palace?
He Jinzhao thought about it, the case of seizing the door, and the case of shooting.

But those belonged to someone in the palace!

Gao Yingxiang saw that the Ming Dynasty officials and soldiers were about to close the door, so he immediately mobilized his horses and ran forward quickly.

The impact of the heavy cavalry made it impossible for these imperial guards to stop them, and the heavy armor on their bodies could not allow them to move quickly.

The imperial guards screamed and fell to the ground.

Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang rushed through the Meridian Gate, looked at the Palace Square, many people were running away in a panic, he just felt proud.

There is a posture that the first to enter the pass is the king.

The guards of the Daming Palace are nothing more than that!

Behind the Jinshui Bridge, a large number of imperial guards came in formation, trying to wipe out the rebels.

It was their duty to guard the palace. Once the rebels disturbed the emperor, they would die.

It happened so suddenly that the imperial guards couldn't react in time, and they didn't know what happened at all.

He Jinzhao ordered the troops to guard the city gate, and at the same time sent some people to the morning gate to climb up to warn, lest they be surrounded by people.

After he rode his horse into the Meridian Gate, he found that Gao Yingxiang had already led the heavy cavalry to attack the formation of the Imperial Guard.

"Report, the big thing is not good."

Chongzhen was walking back and forth in the palace, anxiously waiting for news, when he saw the imperial guards coming, he immediately asked:
"What the hell happened?"

The imperial guard hurriedly knelt on the ground:
"Qizou Your Majesty, a wave of rebels suddenly broke into the imperial city. They have already reached the Jinshui Bridge and are about to break through the Huangji Gate (Gate of Supreme Harmony). My Imperial Guard organizes to suppress the rebels."

Huangjimen is the place where Yumen listens to politics, that is, the location of the early court. Officials have to wait at the Meridian Gate at around [-]:[-] in the morning. They can only pass through the Meridian Gate and arrive at Huangjimen until the sound of drums.

Since he succeeded to the throne, he has been dealing with government affairs at Huangjimen every day. It is very common for him to correct memorials from various places until one or two in the morning, and after staying up late, he must come to court every morning!

After Chongzhen finished listening, he was stunned.

Someone really fired a cannon at the gate of the imperial city!

Over the past 200 years of the Ming Dynasty, has there ever been a rebel attack on the Huangji Gate and entered the palace?

This group of rebels came rushing to the Huangji Gate. If there hadn't been an explosion in Wang Gong's factory, he would still be sitting at the Huangji Gate reviewing the memorial at this time, and he might have died!
