Qingxi Bookstore is not so much a bookstore as it is a slightly smaller hall, but in the middle of the hall is not a dragon chair but a couch with a burning kang, which has been in the wind and clouds for nearly half a century. Grandpa Kangxi was lying on the couch at the moment, with a thick quilt under his body, a high cotton pillow under his head, and two layers of soft brocade blankets covering his body. Her eyes looked a little cloudy now, her plump cheeks were sunken now, her cheekbones seemed much higher, and her white beard was neatly combed.Seeing Brother Zhu, the old prince and the courtiers walk into the hall, Mr. Kangxi just raised his eyelids, his throat trembled, but he didn't make a sound. Obviously, Mr. Kangxi didn't even have the strength to speak at the moment. .

"Your ministers (subjects) have seen the Holy Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" A group of elder brothers and courtiers entered the hall, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground to greet the old man Kangxi, but the old man just quietly Lying down without saying anything, if it wasn't for the slight trembling of the brocade quilt due to breathing, it really makes people wonder if Mr. Kangxi has already sailed into the sea.

Zhang Tingyu, as the only minister in the study room and the minister in charge of the guards, did not kneel down with the ministers to pay respects, nor did he let the big guy die by taking over Bao as the cook. He slowly walked out from the corner of the room, followed by several young eunuchs, and each eunuch held several scrolls in their hands, and it seemed that these scrolls were all in accordance with the imperial decree.Just when the big guy was puzzled, Zhang Tingyu glanced at the gang of brothers kneeling at the front of the group of officials, and said unhurriedly: "There is a decree from the Holy Spirit, I invite you to come today to read the will."

Will?Although Zhang Tingyu's voice was soft, it was like a boulder thrown into a calm pool of water, instantly arousing commotion in the room, and the voices of small and small discussions suddenly became noisy.Yin Zuo knew that such an arrangement would be made a long time ago, so he didn't feel flustered, but when he thought that Mr. Kangxi was about to make a big fortune, he felt a little uncomfortable. Coupled with worrying about the war outside, although his face was still calm, his heart was like It was like knocking over a five-flavored bottle, with mixed feelings, kneeling silently without raising his head; the third child had red eye circles, as if he was about to cry, and murmured something in his mouth; Yin Zhen's face was ashen , gritted his teeth, the blue veins on his forehead burst out, perhaps because his teeth were clenched too tightly, a trace of blood dripped from the corner of his mouth; Lao Ba had a panicked face, and his eyes quickly glanced at the lying on the bed. The old man Kangxi on the couch rolled his eyes a few times, forced a smile and said, "Master Zhang, since you want to proclaim your will, you must invite all elder brothers. The thirteenth and fourteenth brothers are all It’s fine if the leader is away, but the little elder brothers in the palace have to go and invite them, so my king should go for a walk.”

"No need." Zhang Tingyu said unceremoniously: "He Tie and Mr. He have already gone to the Qianqing Palace to collect the will, and they will invite other elder brothers here. Prince Lian doesn't have to worry."

"Taking the edict? The one in the master's hand is..." Lao Jiu Yinzhen asked with an understanding and pretended to be confused, and a group of elder brothers immediately followed suit, and the whole hall was once again full of noise.

Zhang Tingyu ignored those gangsters, took a scroll from the little eunuch behind him, spread it out, looked coldly at the gangsters who were booing, and slowly proclaimed: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor said: I started the Qing Dynasty in the extreme north, thanks to the diligence of my ancestors and my ancestors to make the world..." Following the sound of Zhang Tingyu's voice, a group of elder brothers fell silent, and no one had the courage to act presumptuously when the imperial decree was read, after all, they despised the Holy Majesty It's not a crime of joking. For a while, apart from Zhang Tingyu's loud proclamation, there was no other noise in the hall...

At three o'clock in the morning, the sky had already brightened, and a round of red sun hung high and slanted in the sky, spreading light and heat to the earth, bringing a little warmth to the people after the snow, but the melting of snow water made the temperature even worse. It seemed lower, and coldness was naturally the theme of this season. Even wearing a heavy jacket might not be able to block the cold.Ordinary people may be able to be lazy at home, and their wives and children will stay warm all winter, but those who serve as soldiers will not have such a blessing. The officers and soldiers have been neatly dressed since Maoshi, waiting for the mobilization, but they have never waited for the horns to gather. They can only gather in their respective barracks and wait for orders. Ordinary soldiers are nothing more. Hiding in tents with charcoal basins, but the patrolling soldiers were suffering unspeakably. They all tried their best to patrol outside the barracks, scolding the gang of officials who had nothing to do. Just as a group of sentinels were listlessly patrolling, a group of more than [-] cavalry came galloping from a distance, and the whole group of sentries suddenly perked up and shouted loudly from a long distance: "Stop! Horses are not allowed to gallop in places where the barracks are important!"

An old man with a gray beard and wearing a first-rank military official uniform waved his hand to stop his men. He got off his horse and walked up to the guards who were waiting in full force. The decree came to appease the Fengtai camp, if there is a decree for this, please immediately report to Marshal Cheng to come out of the camp and want to see him."

The rank of the minister of the Ministry of War and the admiral of Fengtai Daying are generally from the first rank, but the position is much higher. Although there is no affiliation relationship between them, but Liu Shuangcheng came here on order, so he is an imperial envoy, so he cannot be neglected. During the patrol, a small official who looked like a general looked at the imperial decree in Liu Shuangcheng's hand, and didn't dare to delay any longer, so he hurriedly said: "Cha! I'm going to report now, my lord, please wait." After falling, he rushed to the barracks where the Chinese army was located.Liu Shuangcheng stood there with a smile on his face, and chatted with the gang of sentries in a somewhat elder manner.A moment later, a general who looked like a general came out from the other side of the camp on a horse leading hundreds of patrols. He raised his eyes and saw Liu Shuangcheng. The hand on the handle of the knife at his waist was suddenly loosened, and after quietly making a few gestures, he led the people past the barracks door as if nothing had happened...

At four o'clock in the morning, in the yamen of the nine admirals, Erut, the admiral of the nine gates, who had already been neatly dressed, sat quietly on the commander's seat, and behind him stood Qingxu and the three school captains of Prince Yi's residence. They were divided into two rows and stood at the bottom. There was no sound in the entire yamen, only a murderous aura hovering in the lobby.When a group of people participated in Zuomao, the real card had already come to order, but they never heard the order from their own commander. It has been more than an hour, and the big guys are a little tired from standing, because Erut has always been very strict in the army. The slightest disobedience is to be served by the military law. Although everyone is puzzled, no one dares to ask, and can only stand quietly.

Just when the big guys got a little impatient waiting, there was a rush of horseshoes, and several flying horses rushed towards the gate of the Yamen along the street. Erute, who was sitting on the handsome seat with his eyes closed, opened his eyes suddenly. He blinked, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, Qingxu, who was originally standing behind him, flashed out of the lobby, went straight to the gate, walked back after a while, and nodded gently to Erut head.

"Everyone." Erut glanced at the counselors in the hall, and said coldly: "I have received the imperial decree, there will be villains in the city who will cause chaos, and I am ordered to assist His Royal Highness Prince Yi to put down the chaos. Closed, no one is allowed to enter or leave the capital without the order of Prince Yi. Liu Quan and Wang Daosheng obey the order."

"The lower officials are here!" The two generals flashed out from among the officials, and bowed down to stand under the hall.

"My official ordered you two to lead Dongzhimen and Deshengmen [-] defenders to leave the city and go to Changchun Garden to escort them. Everything is under the command of Shanpuying He Tie and Master He." Erlute ordered in a calm voice.

"Cha!" Liu and Wang each called a thousand, got their seals and left the hall.

"Mu Long, Liao Quanming listens to the order!" Erut shouted loudly.

"The next official is here!" Another two big men in general costumes flashed out from the officer's seat.

Erlu pointed his head and said: "I ordered you and others to lead three thousand guards from Xizhimen and Chaoyangmen out of the city and march towards Fengtai Camp. Everything is under the command of the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang."

Mu and Liao were dumbfounded when they heard the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang, they didn't understand what was going on, they hesitated and didn't step forward to accept the order, Erut chuckled and said: "Don't hesitate, Elder Brother Thirteen has already returned to Beijing by order, you just go, there will be someone outside the hall to guide you."

"Cha!" Mu and Liao didn't hesitate anymore, they called a thousand, stepped forward to receive the order sign, and hurriedly walked out of the hall.

Erut glanced at the remaining officers, and suddenly shouted: "Come on, take Kui Ling and Xiao Wanwen down!" My own order, I immediately pulled out my saber from my waist in an attempt to resist—these two people belonged to Eighth Master, and they had already seen that something was wrong, and originally planned to wait until I returned to my residence to notify Ba Ye, I didn't expect that the details of the two of them would have been seen through by "Hong Hu".

Kui and Xiao are both old soldiers, their movements are not unpleasant, but it is a pity that no matter how fast they are, they can't be as fast as Qingxu, only Qingxu laughed, and his figure flashed, and people had appeared in front of Kui and Xiao. The long sword inserted obliquely behind him had already been copied in his hand at some point, but seeing Qingxu's wrist flicked, a little bit of sword light flew out, stabbing Kui and Xiao's wrists, arms, shoulders and other places in an instant. Kui and Xiao were in pain, and could no longer hold the waist knife in their hands, but after hearing two crisp clangs, the waist knife had already fallen to the ground, and the other counselors who came back to their senses rushed forward and held Kui and Xiao together. The two fell to the ground and took the opportunity to give them a heavy beating. The Goshhas standing at the door rushed in, tied Kui and Xiao into a dumpling, and escorted them out.

After a while of panic, Erut looked at the remaining generals with a smile and said: "Everyone, go back to the camp. If you close the nine doors, it will be considered a great achievement. The Holy Majesty will definitely reward you. Go!"

A group of subordinates and officials hurriedly agreed to their promises and hurried away. Erut looked at Qing Xu with a smile and said, "I've finished my errand, are the three of you still satisfied?"

Qingxu bowed and said: "On behalf of the lord, thank you for your great help. After the matter is completed, the lord will not forget the credit of your lord."

"Credit?" Erut shrugged his shoulders, chuckled, and didn't say anything more. A gloomy light flashed in his eyes, and he frowned and looked in the direction of Changchun Garden outside the city, meditating silently...

In the Chinese army barracks in Fengtai Daying, Cheng Wenyun was walking around restlessly, and Wen Ruihe in a blue padded jacket persuaded him with a bitter face: "Master Cheng, I have already said it many times, and I won't do it at this time." It's too late to start. If the prince loses power, how can adults be spared? There is no need for Wen to say more about this truth. It's getting late, please take care of the adults. Under the painstaking cultivation of the lord, the prince sent an order to gather the generals and send troops, Wen begs the lord."

"This..." Cheng Wenyun took a few steps, stood on his feet suddenly, shook his head and said, "Before the eighth master arrives, the governor dare not move lightly, alas, if..., it's not right, wait a little longer wait."

Wen Rui was bitter, but helpless, wishing to kill the idiot in front of him, but the problem was that it was easy to kill Cheng Wenyun, but difficult to gain military power. In desperation, he could only try to persuade Cheng Wenyun again, but before he had time to speak, the door A Goshha walked in, knelt down on the tunnel and said: "Commander, Mr. Liu, the Minister of the Ministry of War, has come to announce the decree. He has arrived at the gate of the camp. Please show me, Commander."

"What?" Cheng Wenyun was stunned - his master didn't come, but Liu Shuangcheng came. Cheng Wenyun was very clear about Liu Shuangcheng's details, and he was Prince Yi's confidant.

"Marshal, we can't wait any longer. Someone Liu must have come from Qiao Zhao, and he is here to take down your lord. Hurry up and order the troops." Wen Ruihe yelled anxiously.

"This..." Cheng Wenyun turned around like a headless fly. After thinking about it for a while, he ordered in a loud voice: "Beat the drums and gather the generals! This governor will go see Liu Shuangcheng."

"Don't go, Commander, don't move lightly!" Wen Ruihe hurriedly wanted to stop Cheng Wenyun's move, but at this time Cheng Wenyun had already rushed out of the barracks, Wen Ruihe stomped his feet, and hurriedly chased after him... …
