high official

Chapter 1072
Despite torrential rain, lightning and thunder, the curfew in Beijing is stricter than usual!The soldiers of Dongchang and Shuntianfu were all over the streets and alleys of the capital, and no one was allowed to go to the streets.The mansions of those princes and dignitaries were closely monitored, and when the news came from the palace, all the princes and ministers were detained in the palace to listen to the "legacy" and worship the new king.

After the thunderous tactics in the past month, all the princes and ministers who used to show off their power and speak righteously were very obedient at the moment. No one questioned why there was an army outside their house, and no one tried to conflict with the people from Dongchang.After all, those guys with backbone and temper have all been imprisoned in prison.

In addition to the mansions of the princes and nobles, the officers and soldiers of Dongchang and Shuntianfu also closely monitored the military camps around the capital. Although the army has been ordered to stay in the camps, those who step out of the camp gates will be punished for treason.However, Zhao Wang and Zhao Ying still had to be on guard. Some troops would go out of control and attack suddenly, causing the situation to get out of hand.

Especially the vanguard of His Royal Highness Taisun's army, and Jin Wu's left guard who was directly transferred by King Zhao to General Xiong, surrounded him tightly.In fact, after the first battle in Zhenjiang, the avant-garde guards of the government army have not been replenished, and their troops have been continuously transferred.But whoever made them the iron team of His Royal Highness, they must be strictly guarded against.

In contrast, outside the Fujun Youwei barracks facing the Fujun Qianwei, the atmosphere is much more relaxed.Not only was there no heavy encirclement, but there were also no factory guards spying outside the door.Because Qin Ming, the current commander of the right guard of the government army, was recommended by General Xiong to join King Zhao's sect last month.Although Zhao Wang is still afraid to use this army with confidence, at least he doesn't have to worry about them making trouble.

Suddenly, several fine horses broke through the rain curtain and appeared abruptly in front of the barracks of the right guard of the government army.The soldiers guarding the camp gate immediately sensed that someone was approaching, and shouted loudly in the canopy, "Who broke into the barracks at night?!"

"It's your Lord Marquis! Hurry up and open the door!" A man with the appearance of a general shouted in a deep voice.

"Scared! It's Lord Hou!" The soldiers opened the gate of the camp and let the group of people in without saying anything.

"Close the camp gate!" the famous general ordered after entering the camp, and the soldiers obediently closed the camp gate.

Just as the gate of the camp was closed, a group of Dongchang knights broke through the rain and chased to the gate, shouting loudly: "Quickly open the gate! Dongchang wants to arrest the thieves who violated the curfew!"

"No!" The gatekeeper who had been obedient to the group of people just now became stiff at the East Factory, "The gate of the barracks is closed at night, and no one is allowed to enter!"

"Fart! Why did you let them in just now!" The fans of Dongchang were furious. In the past few months, no one dared to speak to them like this.

"Which eye of yours saw us open the gate of the camp?" The soldier guarding the gate opened his eyes wide and began to talk nonsense.

"Okay! If you don't dare to open the door, just wait until you can't eat!" Across the camp gate, the Dongchang fanzi could only say some harsh words, and then turned back angrily, ready to report Boss, please come forward to suppress these rebellious troops.

.

The right guard barracks of the government army, in the big tent of the Chinese army.Commander Qin Ming has not yet slept. Although he still doesn't know what will happen tonight, he has already smelled the danger, and ordered his soldiers to stand on guard for any eventuality!
Just as Qin Ming was fidgeting, the curtain of the camp tent was lifted, and several men who were wearing hats and rain capes, and their bodies were dripping with water came in. Qin Ming stood up suddenly, and was about to ask why his subordinates did not report, but saw the leader man take off his clothes. He took off the bamboo hat, revealing a thin and handsome face with a neat short beard and slightly dark circles around his eyes.Not the younger brother of the Duke of England, who is Taiping Hou Zhang Min!

"Master Hou!" Qin Ming saw that it was Second Master Zhang, and rushed to greet him with a submissive expression.But if you look at his bent face, his eyes are flickering, it is obvious that he is full of hesitation and fear.

No matter how Zhu Di isolates them, Daming's army is still inextricably linked to the Xungui clan. In 20 years, that generation is still alive, and the generals who commanded the army in the past have control over their old troops beyond ordinary people's imagination.The right guard of the government army is the team of Zhang Yu, the first British prince. The officers with more than one hundred households in the army have always been the confidantes of the Zhang family.

Of course, the imperial court did not want to see this kind of situation. Emperor Taizu set up the five-army governor's office and separated the right to lead the army from the right to lead the army. He just wanted to change this dangerous situation where the soldiers are generals and they don't know the master.However, the Battle of Jingnan interrupted this process and brought the power of military commander Xungui back again. It was nothing more than changing a group of people.

Zhu Di's country was not upright, and he had to rely on military general Xungui to stabilize the country in his early years.In his later years, he began to dispel the military power of the princes and military generals through various methods such as mobilizing each other between factions and promoting generals from poor backgrounds. After the Nanjing Rebellion, Qin Ming replaced Zhang Yu as the commander of the right guard of the government army. concrete manifestation of the policy.

Speaking of which, Qin Ming has been in office for several years, but the generals from the Zhang family have always ignored him, which made him very uncomfortable. Then he fell into the arms of King Zhao under the recommendation of General Xiong, trying to get rid of him. The shadow of the Zhang family.Seeing the rightful lord arriving now, General Qin, who had a ghost in his heart, naturally couldn't help but be surprised and uncertain.

Zhang Yu used to be the commander of the right guard of the government army, and the right guard of the government army was the camp set up by Zhang Jiatie. Naturally, he was able to enter the land of no one. He sat down on the seat with a sword and a golden horse, and took a look at Qin Ming. Said: "Old Qin, beat the drums to raise the account."

"Here, Lord Hou..." Qin Ming looked troubled.He didn't want the situation to get out of hand.

"Hmm..." Zhang Min snorted coldly and said, "Why, didn't you hear?"

"The general heard it, and the general will pass on the order." Qin Ming planned to go out first, tangle with his cronies, and ensure safety.

"You don't have to go out, just let someone beat the drums." How could Zhang Min be deceived by his careful thinking, and Qin Ming was not allowed to leave the tent at all.

"Yes..." Qin Ming didn't dare to disobey Zhang Min face to face, so he had to do so.

.

The dull drumbeat spread throughout the barracks through the rain curtain.Originally, the military camp was under martial law tonight, and the soldiers were resting their heads on the ground, no one fell asleep, and when they heard the sound of the drums, before they could make a cup of tea, all the generals and assistants in the army rushed to the tents of the Chinese army.

As soon as they entered the tent of the Chinese army, the generals saw that the person sitting upright in the lobby was not Qin Ming, the chief general of the army, but Zhang Yu, the Marquis of Taiping!Nine out of ten of these generals were old members of the Zhang family, and when they saw Zhang Min, they all smiled and hurried forward to greet him, completely treating Qin Ming standing next to Zhang Min as air.Zhang Xiang greeted a group of cadres with a smile, with such intimacy, it seemed that Qin Ming, the official conductor, was an outsider.

Qin Ming also knew that he couldn't argue with Zhang Erye, so he didn't argue with it.What's more, his mind is not here, but all about what is about to happen-this person comes here at this time, it must be that the good person does not come, and the person who comes is not good!

When all the generals arrived, Zhang Wei cleared his throat, looked at Qin Ming with piercing eyes, and said slowly: "Old Qin, you should know what I'm here for. I'll just ask you a word, whether or not to follow?" I?"

Qin Ming didn't expect Zhang Min to be so straight-forward. Under the hot eyes of the latter and the generals, he was sweating profusely and said in a trembling voice: "Hou, Lord Hou, I don't understand what you mean..."

"Okay, good answer." Zhang Yu sneered when he heard the words, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with the surname Qin. He stood up, took out a piece of yellow silk from his arms, and glanced at the generals in the tent with majesty: "There is a will!"

When all the generals heard the words, they knelt down in unison without even thinking about it, and shouted long live.Qin Ming froze for a moment, then stood there alone, seeing the murderous intent glimpsed by Zhang Min out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help shivering, his knees softened and he quickly knelt down.

"As the imperial envoy, Marquis of Taiping, Zhang Yu, restrained the twelve guards, led the army into the palace to rescue him, and there must be no mistake! This!" Zhang Min read out the decree loudly, and every word hit the generals like a heavy hammer. heart.Only then did everyone realize that the battle for the heir apparent had reached the point of a palace coup, and even the emperor's life was in jeopardy!
"I'll obey the order!" All the generals responded eagerly.

"Okay!" Zhang Min put away his will, and said loudly: "Let's hurry up and gather the soldiers and horses, and follow me into the palace to rescue him!"

"Yes!" All the generals were very excited and rushed to accept their orders.

"Wait a minute!" At this moment, a disharmonious voice sounded, Qin Ming got up from the ground, and said respectfully: "Master Hou, can the general see the will?"

"Yes." Zhang Min looked at Qin Ming fixedly, without any emotion in his eyes.Slowly handed the yellow silk to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming took it with both hands and took a closer look, only to see that the above was exactly the same as what Zhang Yu had just announced, and it was stamped with the emperor's golden seal!

"This..." Qin Ming couldn't help but gasped.

"What, is there a problem?" Zhang Min's eyelids twitched, and his right hand felt for the handle of the knife at his waist as if he had no intention of doing so.

Of course there are problems!Who doesn't know that this golden seal has been stolen out of the palace, but now it is stamped on the yellow silk in a fair and square way, and no one will believe it if it is all right!

"Of course..." Halfway through Qin Ming's speech, his complexion changed for a while, and finally he said submissively: "No problem!" Then he waved his hand and shouted to the generals: "Why are you just standing there, go and dispatch troops!"

The generals looked at Qin Ming with some regrets, and thought that this guy was going to be driven by the wind, and if he persisted for a while, his head would fall to the ground, so that everyone can be promoted to a higher level, how happy it would be?

But since he had already turned the corner, it was impossible to step on his dead body to ascend to the throne, so he had no choice but to clenched his fists, saying that he obeyed, and then went out to mobilize troops and horses.

In the tent of the Chinese army, only Qin Ming and Zhang Min were left, and the former looked more respectful and said: "Don't blame the Marquis, the last general has the responsibility, so I have to take a formality and check the imperial decree..."

"Old Qin, you are mature and prudent, how can Ben Hou blame you?" Zhang Min seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness just now, and patted Qin Ming's shoulder affectionately and said: "Saving the driver is a big matter, but the camp can't be left unattended, Mr. Qin, you stay and sit in the town, and this Marquis can lead the troops. How about it?"
