No.30 breakout

In the capital of the Dafeng Emperor, there was a depressing atmosphere.In the early morning, everyone lowered their heads, and no one mentioned the disaster victims anymore.Prince Jing still drooped his eyelids as if he hadn't woken up, but he had an extra king whip in his hand.

Emperor Cheng Wu's face was not very good looking. Many people had guessed that there would be a big move when King Jing took over the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion.Don't think that Emperor Chengwu has been in power for so many years, and he also killed a group of important officials who followed other princes.However, because the first emperor was seriously ill and passed away too quickly, the old uncle basically helped Emperor Chengwu take care of the government.

At that time, Emperor Chengwu's foundation was unstable. With the support of the queen mother and uncle Guo, Emperor Chengwu gradually stabilized the country.Therefore, the prestige of the old empress dowager and the uncle of the country is extremely high in the court, and it is because of this that Emperor Chengwu has been forbearing.

However, any monarch will not tolerate someone violating his fundamental interests.Uncle Lao Guo privately encloses land, but also occupies a large area of ​​pasture in the north.This point made Emperor Chengwu feel that his uncle had the potential to become a king on his own, so he had to order the demolition of the privately built mansion and the return of the occupied pasture.Through this incident, Emperor Cheng Wu originally wanted to give the Zhou family a wink and let them retreat in spite of difficulties.Unexpectedly, the power expanded to a certain extent, and the Zhou family actually thought of forcing the palace.By assisting another prince to come to power, the Zhou family will be able to enjoy at least another 20 years.At that time, I am afraid that no one will be able to control the Zhou family anymore.

Guo Tianxin also came to the morning court today, seeing that everyone was silent, Guo Tianxin stood up.

"Report to my emperor, the minister has played."

"Quite!" Cheng Wuhuang said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, I have returned to the capital because of my mother's serious illness. My mother has recovered from her illness. I ask Your Majesty to approve the decree so that I can return to southern Xinjiang as soon as possible and guard the border." Guo Tianxin said loudly and resonantly.

All the civil and military officials present were as smart as monkeys, and immediately began to ponder the meaning.Among the Beijing officials who are away, no one wants to come back and stay for a longer period of time.Guo Tianxin took the initiative to ask for an order to go back, and at such a sensitive moment, many people could smell the flames of war.

In the Dafeng Dynasty, the strength of the two northern and southern camps was equal. Once there was any movement in the northern camp under the jurisdiction of the Zhou family, the big camp in the suburbs of Beijing alone could keep the capital intact, but it would definitely not be able to force back the mighty troops of the northern camp.Only when the soldiers of the Southern Camp come, can the Northern Camp be suppressed.

"Guo Aiqing, when Yunguo has been coveting my Dafeng, I will leave the important task of southern border to you. Zhunzhao!" Cheng Wuhuang simply agreed to Guo Tianxin's request to return to Xinjiang.

Li Hong, Minister of the Ministry of War, hesitated to speak, and wanted to say a few words out of the shift, but after thinking about it, he held back.

Don't look at him as the Minister of the Ministry of War, but each of the following camps has its own general.If it is a fight with Dangyun and Qingtian, his Minister of the Ministry of War may be very useful.But if there is a civil strife, he can only be a naked commander, and no one will obey his orders.

Seeing that no one from the crowd wanted to come out to play, Emperor Cheng Wu gave him a wink, and Eunuch Wei directly announced his retirement.

Guo Tianxin left the court without even stopping, and when he returned to the mansion, he led his personal troops towards the gate of the capital.As soon as he came back from the palace last night, Guo Tianxin sent a letter to Zhennan Daying to send troops to Shutian Mansion.Shutian Mansion has [-] city guards, and Zhongdu Mansion has [-] soldiers. If you want to suppress Zhou Dazhong, you need at least [-] elite soldiers.And if there is any movement in the Peking Camp, Guo Tianxin must come to the rescue within [-] days.Otherwise, the reserves in the capital would not be able to sustain it at all.Therefore, Guo Tianxin rushed back to southern Xinjiang immediately to prepare.

As soon as Guo Tianxin left the city gate, he saw a group of fast horses chasing him.Guo Tianxin raised his hand and put the guards on alert immediately.In the current situation, no one can say whether there will be any accidents.

"Tianxin, you are waiting for me~ but this old man is exhausted." Li Hong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, chased him all the way from Guofu to here.

Guo Tianxin saw that it was Li Hong, so he winked and told the guards to cancel the alert.For Li Hong, Guo Tianxin still believed.

"Lord Li, Tianxin was in a hurry to return to Xinjiang, so he didn't go to the Ministry of War to say goodbye. I hope Lord Li will forgive me."

Guo Tianxin had a good relationship with Li Hong, and he felt a little sorry for not being able to say hello due to special reasons.

Li Hong looked at Guo Tianxin's soldiers, and waved his hands to make the people behind him retreat.Guo Tianxin understood that Li Hong had something personal to say, so he waved his hand to make his own soldiers retreat.

When the two got off the horse, Li Hong sighed and said, "Brother Tianxin, we have known each other for many years, tell me the truth, have we really reached that point?"

Guo Tian is confident that he knows what Li Hong is referring to, "Master Li, seeing what the Zhou family has done, I am afraid that we will really meet with each other. sky."

"However, the old queen's edict cannot be disobeyed. You can just leave, and I will be embarrassing in the capital. If the Zhou family uses the old queen's edict, you will listen to that side after all." Li Hong Said with a sad face.

In the hearts of the officials in the court, the old queen's prestige was no less than that of Emperor Chengwu.Moreover, since Emperor Chengwu came to power, the Empress Dowager's decree and the emperor's imperial decree have always had the same weight.In the past, Cheng Wu advocated filial piety, which can be regarded as a kind of respect for his mother.But now, it has become an obstacle.

Guo Tianxin stared at Li Hong, and asked seriously, "Brother Li, we haven't known each other for a day or two, I just want to hear the truth. If the emperor and the Zhou family were to confront each other, which side would you brother Li stand on?"

"If it's the Zhou family, I have to fight it out of my mind. But if it's the old lady, it's really hard to choose." Li Hong didn't hide anything, and directly expressed his difficulties.

Guo Tianxin nodded. There are quite a few officials above the court who have such thoughts, and they all want to avoid offense.Although it is not easy to be a fool, no matter who regains power, they can protect themselves.

"Brother Li, if others can do this, I guess you can't. I'm afraid that if the Zhou family moves, the old lady and the emperor will issue an edict to the Ministry of War at the same time. At that time, you, Minister of the Ministry of War, must choose a side."

"This is exactly what I am worried about, so I came here to discuss with Brother Guo, you have to help me find a way. To say something disrespectful, the queen mother dares to kill the emperor, but the emperor cannot kill the queen mother. Even if the emperor is sure Focusing on the overall situation, once the mother and son get back together, we courtiers will be completely different." Li Hong said in embarrassment.

Guo Tianxin was also helpless, and it was because of this that many ministers were afraid to speak.If the emperor ordered the old queen beheaded or placed under house arrest, no matter how powerful the Zhou family was, they would not be able to stir up trouble.Without the Empress Dowager's order, the northern camp's name was not right and its words were not in order, and there was no excuse for sending troops to crusade.However, the emperor didn't want to be accused of being unfilial in front of the people of the world, so he could only fight openly under a palace wall.

"Brother Li, I won't say anything superfluous. If you are really in trouble, then go to King Jing. This old idiot is not really an idiot. I believe I will give you a satisfactory answer." Guo Tianxin said, stepping on his horse Ready to say goodbye.

Li Hong arched his hands, it seemed that this was the only way to go.He only hoped that the two sides could each make a concession at the last moment, so that there would be no confrontation.

In the official inn of Shu Tianfu, Zhu Tianjiang lived a happy and carefree life, pestering the fourth prince and others to push Pai Gow every day.At first the fourth prince could hold it back, but later he just stayed in the room cursing, cursing Zhu Tianjiang for killing him.Otherwise, if you are still staying in the palace now, you don't have to be so frightened.

On the surface, Zhu Tianxiang plays every day, but in fact he is more anxious than anyone else.The only person who can deliver information now is the person who delivers food every day.Zhou Dazhong confined everyone, but this group of people always had to eat and drink, so there were vegetable vendors delivering food inside every day.In the beginning, it was a real vegetable rice, but later, it became a hidden part of the sticky stick.

Time passed quickly, more than half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and there was still no news from outside.Now even Yugege doesn't come to Zhu Tianjiang's room anymore, only Guo Ying is still with him to 'kill time'.

"Brother Tianxiang, when do we have to wait until we become a leader?" Guo Ying frowned and asked.

"I'm waiting for your father's soldiers. If you really don't send troops, we can only find a way to escape." In front of Guo Ying, Zhu Tianxiang didn't hide his anxiety.

"What about Yugege and the fourth prince?" Guo Ying asked worriedly.

"They can't die. Zhou Dazhong dared to kill me at most. As for you, you may become an unexpected chess piece for them."

"With so many people outside, it may not be easy to rush out. Even if we can rush out like last time, it may be difficult to get out of the city."

Zhu Tianxiang rubbed his temples, he had thought of this a long time ago, so he asked Zhu Si to inform the people at the sticky pole to dig a few cellars in the houses in the city.He rushed out of the post station, temporarily hid in the cellar, and waited for the limelight to pass before finding a way to leave the city.

As soon as the door opened, Zhu Er hurried in, with a hint of joy on his face.

"My lord, I have received a secret report that the soldiers and horses of the Zhennan Camp have bypassed the Zhongdu Mansion. Among the accompanying people are people from our sticky poles, who have already contacted the people in the city. The soldiers and horses are currently stationed at a distance of [-] miles from the Shutian Mansion. The mountain streams within miles, as soon as we get out of trouble, they will come to the city."

Zhu Tianjiang jumped up and stood up, "Great! I thought these two fathers didn't want their daughter anymore. Has the food delivery person left?" Zhu Tianjiang asked.

"Not yet, waiting for the command of the adults."

"Notify the people in the city that the action will start tonight. According to the plan, it will be set on fire." Zhu Tianjiang and Si Zhu had already made a plan, and they were waiting for this day.

"My lord, I have another piece of news to tell you. The commander of the army said that Yugege and the fourth prince must be taken away. This is the general's special instructions."

Zhu Tianjiang was startled, and nodded silently.If Guo Tianxin had this explanation, then the situation in the capital might be worse than he imagined.

"Grandma, bring it with you. Tell our people to make the city more lively tonight, or you won't be able to rush out at all."

After Zhu Tianjiang finished his orders, he hurried to find the Fourth Prince and Yugege.The two brothers and sisters were sitting in the hall frowning, and when they saw Zhu Tianxiang coming in, neither of them raised their eyelids.

"I didn't come to ask you to push Pai Gow. Hurry up and get ready. We're going out tonight." Zhu Tianjiang said with a smile.

The fourth prince and Yu Gege were taken aback for a moment, and they all looked at Zhu Tianjiang in surprise.Knowing that the two of them didn't believe it, Zhu Tianjiang quickly told the outside news.The fourth prince and Yugege knew that Zhu Tianxiang was waiting for rescuers, but they didn't expect Guo Tianxin to really dare to send someone.

In the yamen of Shu Tianfu, Zhou Dazhong also received a secret report from his father two days ago that the army of the Northern Camp had quietly moved south.As for him, Uncle Lao Guo asked Zhou Dazhong to take good care of the hostages.Especially Yugege and Guo Ying, there must be no mistakes.King Jing has already taken over the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion, and Yugege happens to be a trump card in their hands.As for Guo Ying, it may be useful when Guo Tianxin goes north to save her.

Knowing that his aunt and father were going to get serious, Zhou Dazhong was both nervous and excited.Once the palace is successfully forced, the power of the Zhou family will be equal to that of the royal family. At that time, his Shu Tianfu will become a completely independent kingdom and will no longer be under the jurisdiction of anyone.

In the post station, the fourth prince and Yugege's guards had secretly received action orders, and everyone was nervously waiting for the night to come.As for the officials from the household department, Zhu Tianxiang did not ask Zhu Yi to notify them in advance.

Because these guards are relatively loyal, and those household officials are poor, they may not necessarily live and die with them.Even so, Zhu Tianjiang ordered Zhu Yi and the others to control the front and back, and to kill anyone who wanted to leave the post station on the spot.

Guo Ying changed into men's clothing, but this time she was holding an official knife in her hand.Zhu Tianjiang didn't use other weapons. For him, the golden pen bestowed by the emperor is the best weapon.

In the post station, all the lights were extinguished.When a group of officials from the household department heard the news that they were going to kill them, they were so frightened that their legs went limp.But at this point, they can only fight to the death or there is still a way to survive.They were caught between two waves of guards, and it was impossible for them to go out and report the news.

Dang Dang Dang~ A rush of gongs sounded in the street not far away, and then, not far from the post station, a soaring flame burst out.

"It's not good~ everyone, hurry up and put out the fire~!"

Hearing the chaotic cries for help outside, Zhu Tianxiang waved his golden pen, "Come on~!"

Outside the post station, the commander-in-chief Zhang Biao saw several fires nearby, and was thinking about whether to send a team to fight the fire.I saw a group of 'common people' rushing out of the darkness, holding various weapons in their hands.

"Not good! They want to save people, line up~!" Zhang Biao immediately understood that these people were for the people in the station.

Hula~ As soon as the door opened, a black shadow flashed out and rushed towards Zhang Biao.Zhu took aim at Zhang Biao early in the morning, and was the first to kill him after he came out.

With the sound of killing, the two sides immediately fought together.Zhu Er didn't dare to stay away, and always protected Zhu Tianjiang.Zhu San and Zhu Si are protecting the fourth prince and Yugege.

In the darkness, Zhu Tianjiang's golden pen flashed like lightning.Although his body skills are still clumsy, his strikes are very accurate, and all strokes pierced the throat.Zhu Er didn't expect Zhu Tianjiang to have such a trick, so he was relieved immediately.

The number of officers and soldiers outside had too great an advantage. During the scuffle, Zhu Tianjiang's men were immediately divided into several pieces.

"Guo Ying, follow me~ don't run around." Zhu Tianxiang shouted, and rushed forward following Zhu Er.

"Bold Zhu Tianjiang, Mr. Zhou has long expected that this move will come again, so you should give up on that."

With a loud shout, two teams of soldiers and horses rushed out of the streets on both sides.One of them was led by Yao Yiping.

Shua~!The two teams of horses opened their crossbows, and under the light of the torches, they aimed at the crowd in the melee.
