Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 538 Marquis Luo Yun goes to mobilize troops

Ouchi,

Outside the Chongwen Gate of the Imperial Palace,

When Dai Quan saw that the city gate was not open and the imperial troops on the gate tower were motionless, he looked ugly. He took a few steps forward, pinched his throat and cursed anxiously,

"General Yu, please open the door quickly. If you delay something important, I will chop your head off."

His tone was a little angry, and he could hear the Forbidden Army general on the tower, Yu Dingzhi, feeling uneasy. At this time, he was sweating profusely and didn't know what to do. For such a big event, as a rule, the palace gates must be closed. After everything is stable, His Majesty will issue an order to the palace. The door can be opened, but His Majesty has not yet issued an order. How can he open the palace door without authorization? That is the crime of beheading, but why did the Minister of Internal Affairs go out? What happened?

The captain Sun Shan next to him was even more pale, his legs were trembling, and he secretly wondered why this was happening. If he had known it, he would not have come to guard the city gate. He also gave the deputy commander a lot of money, and then he came from the camp. When I was transferred here, things were going well all the time. Who knew that after a few good days, there were a lot of troubles, and things were not all that satisfactory.

Especially today, the evil gate is so tight that I don't dare to ask about what's going on below. The surrounding imperial troops are hiding behind the battlements and looking out.

Zhang Jinyu looked at the city but showed no reaction. When she arrived at the carriage, she asked,

"Your Majesty, Madam, the city gate is not open, what should we do?"

Empress Jiang glanced at Emperor Wu worriedly, and Zhou Shihong was silent for a moment. Before leaving the palace, he needed to cover up, but now it seems that he can't hide it anymore. He took out the Royal Order Gold Medal from his pocket and handed it over.

"Take the golden order and call the door."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhang Jinyu carefully took the imperial order from the car window. Not to mention, it was not light and heavy. It seemed that it was really made of gold. Otherwise, why was it called the golden order? He mounted his horse and ran forward,

Then he held the gold token and shouted,

"The imperial golden order is here, open the city gate quickly."

Yu Dingzhi, who was hiding in the palace building, no longer dared to respond. He carefully raised his head and took a look. The token in Marquis Luo Yun's hand shone with golden light under the sunlight. It turned out to be the golden token given by the emperor. The person in the carriage , thinking of what happened before, His Majesty must have gone on patrol incognito again, I was shocked, I am in trouble!

"Quickly, open the door, open the palace door, what are you doing standing there in a daze?"

"General, don't you want to check the token?"

Captain Sun Shan saw General Yu in such a hurry and asked subconsciously. After all, he didn't recognize the so-called token. Who would have thought that when Yu Dingzhi heard it, he slapped him in the face and cursed,

"What nonsense are you talking about? Go quickly. If you delay any longer, our lives will be lost. Come on, follow me down and open the door. Don't talk too much."

"Yes, General."

My heart trembled, and my steps became faster.

The two of them didn't know what they were afraid of. They ran down the palace wall and down the steps of the city tower in a panic. They accidentally missed their footing and slid down the city tower. They even fell. They ignored the pain and walked toward the palace gate with a grin on their face. Go, behind the door is surrounded by the imperial army, with men wearing armor and holding knives ambushing behind. The two walked over and shouted,

"Get out of the way, get out of here, open the door quickly, quickly."

The others were stunned, and then Sun Shan ran over first, lifted the door bolt, threw it aside, and opened the palace door.

"General, the door is open."

"Hurry, follow me out of the palace to greet you, yes, go and greet the inner minister."

After all, he tightened his words at the last moment and did not let out a single leak.

Then he ran out.

at this time,

Zhang Jinyu and Dai Quan who were waiting outside the palace gate had long been impatient. The palace door suddenly opened. They all turned their heads and looked over. They saw the former guard running out with the captain, and then immediately knelt on the ground. , worship,

"Please forgive me, the Prime Minister and the Marquis. Today, there is a strange change in the sky. The general is very frightened. He is afraid that the palace will be unstable and he does not dare to open the city gate at will."

When Dai Quan saw it, he still wanted to quibble. Even though his own people were here, he was still pretending to be dead. He was so angry that he wanted to kick him.

But Zhang Jinyu grabbed Dai Quan, and when did he still care about this?

"Internal Minister, business matters are important."

This reminder also brought back Dai Quan's anger. He glared at General Yu fiercely and said,

"Quickly, take the imperial guard carriage into the palace. If something goes wrong, be careful with your head."

"Yes, the inner minister will understand. Someone come quickly."

Hearing the general's shout, a large number of forbidden troops ran out from the palace gate, as many as a thousand people. It seemed that all the forbidden troops guarding the palace were fully equipped, and their momentum was strong and should not be underestimated.

Zhang Jinyu secretly observed in his mind that after so many people gathered around him, he felt relieved after seeing this. He finally sent the people there, but he didn't do anything, didn't go shopping, and encountered so many evil things.

I didn't read the almanac today when I went out, so I was unlucky. Then I put the token away, went to the carriage, and handed it in.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, the Imperial Guards in the palace have opened the palace gate to General Yu, and the guarding Imperial Guards have also come out. Your Majesty, please take back this imperial order."

After all, it is the emperor's personal golden order. When you see this imperial order, it feels like I am here in person and in control of the power. It is not so easy to get, and Zhang Jinyu will not hold this thing as a hot potato. Whoever takes it will panic.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Wu Zhou Shihong in the carriage did not take it, but instead ordered,

"Marquis Luo Yun, I ordered you to take it. Immediately mobilize your troops and lead your 10,000 troops into the capital. First, I will surround the Ningguo Mansion, and then capture the demon. Even if he ran away, dig three feet into the ground. We must also find him and kill anyone who dares to cause trouble in the city."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I understand. We will mobilize troops outside the city now. Your Majesty, you must not enter the palace now. There may be consequences after the earth dragon turns over. Many collapsed places are fragile, so it is better to be careful."

As if to cooperate with Luo Yunhou's words, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw the side hall at the west end of the palace, the nearest Xiaowen Palace, shaking violently, and the tiles on the roof corridor "cracked". "It fell down, and it was as dense as rain.

Then, as soon as Zhang Jinyu lost her temper, she wanted to slap herself in the mouth. She was too cooperative. Damn it, this is a big deal.

Not only the side halls that were in disrepair, but also the attic above the palace gate. It was unknown whether it was due to disrepair or lack of maintenance. The tiles fell down, and the imperial guards guarding the city walls smashed them, screaming, and fled in panic. .

Like a defeated army, they fled in all directions. At the same time, a large tile fell from the top and hit the edge of the city wall. It broke into several pieces and shot out. It happened to be heading towards the carriage where Emperor Wu was riding. Zhang Jinyu left behind When Guang saw it, he quickly retracted his hand, drew out his sword, and shouted,

"Escort,"

Turning around to see the right moment, she turned the back of the knife against it, trying to cut the tiles apart, but the fragments were falling apart so fast that Zhang Jinyu had no choice but to estimate the curve.

Then he slashed with the knife, only the largest tile could be blocked, but the other fragments still rushed towards the carriage at high speed. One of them hit the roof of the carriage and made a loud "bang" sound. The square shape on the top of the carriage was blocked and was suddenly blocked. Beat it down.

While they were still waiting for others to react, several other fragments hit the door frame of the carriage. The Imperial City driver who was driving the carriage also fell to the ground, vomiting blood and fell unconscious.

Two more pieces ruthlessly tore the car curtain apart and rushed in. At the critical moment, Emperor Wu saw him and without thinking, he took Empress Jiang into his arms and protected her. The nanny next to her also rushed over to try and protect her. He blocked it, but he was too fast and only had time to block one, before he was injured and fell to the ground.

Another fragment came straight towards Emperor Wu. With a muffled groan, the fragment hit Zhou Shihong's arm, scratching his clothes and bleeding. Queen Jiang was shocked and screamed out, "Your Majesty!"

The expressions of everyone outside changed. Dai Quan was so frightened that he even rolled over and ran over, unable to take a single step in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how are you?"

Zhang Jinyu hurriedly jumped off the horse, got on the carriage, blocked the door, and then walked in. Then she watched Emperor Wu holding his arms and moaning in pain. He could only see the torn clothes in the place covered by his palms. The place was oozing with blood, and the Queen had already burst into tears.

"Your Majesty, please bear with me,"

After speaking, he opened his clothes, took a knife from inside and cut off a long piece of brocade cloth, then wrapped it around Emperor Wu's wound and tightened it tightly.

Emperor Wu was in pain, with fine sweat on his forehead. He endured the pain and looked at the mess outside in a daze. He didn't expect that when he left the palace today, he would encounter the Tengu eating the sun and the Earth Dragon turning around. Who am I? Is there something wrong on my part? Is it because of my lack of morality? Is God warning me about such disasters?

But looking at the palace city, everything is intact. Only the tiles on the roof of the main hall have fallen, and some of the side halls that have been in disrepair have collapsed. There should be no serious problems. The most important thing now is to stabilize the court and the people of the capital. , but also to stabilize the government troops who are about to arrive in Beijing.

Zhang Jinyu cut off another piece of brocade cloth from her body, and wrapped it around His Majesty a few more times worriedly. Then she turned around and sat on the carriage, grabbed the reins, and prepared to drive into the palace herself.

"Ningbian, follow the carriage and escort His Majesty back to the palace."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

Just as he was about to drive forward, Zhang Jinyu was suddenly grabbed by the shoulder. When Zhang Jinyu looked back, it was Emperor Wu who grabbed him. With a solemn look on his face, he said in a deep voice,

"Marquis Luo Yun, you need to mobilize troops outside the city quickly."

"Your Majesty, I am worried. I will escort your Majesty back to Yangxin Hall first, and then I will go back. Come on!"

Unexpectedly, Emperor Wu's hand was pulled again, and the force was unstable. He fell to the side and said with difficulty,

"That's why you should mobilize your troops to surround Ning Guo Mansion, then lead your troops into the palace and come to me with my imperial order. Dai Quan, don't accompany me back to find Baoning." Marquis, let his headquarters' imperial army be dispatched to guard the gate of the capital. In addition, he sent his elite confidants to wait at the palace gate. Then he sent people to the Anhu camp and sent an order to Prince Teng. The Anhu camp must be stabilized and there must be no chaos or chaos. The imperial edict is not to use any soldiers, so go quickly."

"Yes, Your Majesty,"

Dai Quan knew what His Majesty meant, gritted his teeth, took two imperial guards and turned around to leave, but Zhang Jinyu never moved.

"Your Majesty, if I leave, there will be no one available to Your Majesty. I won't leave."

Looking at the stubborn Marquis Luo Yun, Emperor Wu felt warm in his heart.

"I can do it, but you have to mobilize the troops. I don't think I will need you anymore. Outside the city, the guest army is about to enter the capital."

Emperor Wu Zhou Shihong stared at Marquis Luo Yun. At this moment, the loyal person beside him turned out to be him. The wound on his arm hurt slightly, but it may not be an opportunity.

Seeing His Majesty's insistence and the Queen's anxious and worried look, Zhang Jinyu nodded helplessly.

"Your Majesty, I will come as soon as I go. I will not keep Your Majesty waiting for long. I will leave the deputy general Ning Bian behind. Although the three hundred cavalry may not be enough, they will definitely protect Your Majesty. I am leaving."

After Zhang Jinyu finished speaking, he jumped off the carriage and climbed onto the horse.

"Marquis Luo Yun, after mobilizing troops, where are the three princes?"

Zhang Jinyu turned around and saw Empress Jiang's tearful look. She thought of her mother, Mrs. Wang, and nodded vigorously.

"I understand. Don't worry, I will keep them safe. Ningbian, you lead three hundred cavalry and follow His Majesty. They will not leave you every step of the way until I come back. Except for the imperial doctor and His Majesty's orders, no one can go. Listen clearly. No."

"The last general obeys his orders and will not leave even an inch. No one is allowed to see him until the Marquis arrives and His Majesty sends orders."

Ningbian repeated the military order, then got off the horse, got on the carriage, pulled the reins, and

"Your Majesty, I have left. Except for the three hundred cavalry left behind, the rest will follow me and drive."

"drive!"

Zhang Jinyu clamped the horse's belly and galloped away.

Ning Bian's face turned cold.

"Everyone protected the carriage and entered the palace,"

"Yes, General!"

Ning Bian drew out his sword, swung the back of the sword, and slapped the horse on the butt. The horse ran away in pain. The three hundred cavalry around him rode directly into the palace regardless of the ban. Emperor Wu even turned a blind eye. At this time, the palace Here, no one can trust too much,

And the Imperial Guard who was kneeling there, pale with fright, was at a loss when he saw this. His Majesty was still injured in the car. He also saw how it ended. His Majesty also entered the palace. After thinking about it, In this case, it is better to follow His Majesty closely, otherwise in the future, I am afraid that I will have no way out. Even if the Supreme Emperor finds me, I will have a way out. Marquis Baoning will definitely not ignore it. Thinking of this, He had some concerns in his mind, looked at Captain Sun Shan who was kneeling behind him, and ordered,

"Sun Shan, now it's you and me. When it comes to life-related matters in the future, you must remember that you will lead half of the troops and five hundred forbidden troops to guard this place. In addition to the senior ministers, there are also Marquis Luo Yun and the internal minister. No one is allowed in, do you understand?"

"Yes, General, what about you."

"I will take the remaining people with me and escort them into the palace. Don't dare to delay for a moment. Let's go quickly."

"Got it, General,"

It was also the first time that Sun Shan saw General Yu's reaction like this. Knowing that his life was at stake, he responded, went back to sort out the imperial guards and left to guard the palace gate. He inserted the fallen door bolt behind the door again, and the others held their bows. The crossbows were mounted upstairs in the palace, and they were ready.

There was a rush,

The carriage rushed into the Yangxin Hall. When they arrived, Ning Bian asked half of the soldiers and horses to guard the courtyard, and the rest protected Emperor Wu as he entered the Yangxin Hall. Eunuch Yun had already sent people to find the imperial doctor, and Emperor Wu also She took off her robe and lay down in the palace. The queen never left her side, while outside the house, soldiers led by Ning Bian were waiting with swords in hand.

"Your Majesty, it is all my concubine's fault. You should not have encouraged Your Majesty to leave the palace today. This has caused such a disaster."

Queen Jiang cried with regret, while Zhou Shihong stretched out his hand to touch the queen's face and said with a smile,

"Yu Qing, you must not say that. I want to see it. If I hadn't gone on this trip, where would I have encountered that demon? Although it is a natural disaster, it may not be a good thing. Are the people in the court loyal or alien? , I can see clearly that Yu Qing still has to perform with me."

"Your Majesty, you, at this time, still think about these things, your arms."

Queen Jiang was worried, why would Her Majesty be allowed to act so recklessly?

"The arm is fine. The bleeding will stop after Luo Yunhou bandaged it. Just wait for the imperial doctor to deal with it. This matter must be acted out. I, in my heart, want to see who has been hiding down there. Waiting for Luo Yunhou and Baoning Hou Er After the people arrive, immediately ask them to come here to see me, and the others will not be seen."

Emperor Wu Zhou Shihong was determined to test the courtiers, even the Supreme Emperor. Seeing His Majesty's insistence, Queen Jiang nodded worriedly,

"Yes, I listen to Your Majesty, but what if the Supreme Emperor sends someone here?"

Zhou Shihong lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and said slowly,

"not see!"
