my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 200
Wenyuan Pavilion.

The news came.

Yang Rong and Hu Guangda were shocked, and they immediately asked Zhongshu Sheren: "Where is Jin Zhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and where are the governors of the Five Army Commanders' Mansion?"

"The Jinbu hall has gone to the East Palace, and the five armies' governor's mansion has also dispatched."

Yang Rong and Hu Guang looked at each other, and they were silent for a moment...

Yang Rong said: "The matter is urgent, you and I should not panic, we should be on duty here, if there is a big change, it will be easy to deal with it."

Hu Guang nodded.

But at this moment, Xie Jin called a head of the Ministry of War to be on duty.

Xie Jin stared at the master and said, "Who caused the chaos?"

This is the previous Deng Xian.

Deng Xiandao: "Don't ask too much, Mr. Xie. Knowing too much is not beneficial."

"What do you think?" Xie Jin looked at him closely, feeling a little confused.

Deng Xiandao: "Your Majesty may do well today."

Hearing the word Daxing, Xie Jin's eyes widened slightly, and he took a deep breath.

The so-called Daxing... is death.

Immediately, Xie Jin sneered and said, "Are you a rebel?"

Deng Xian shook his head and said: "No, the next official is the official ordered by the imperial court."

"Hmph!" Xie Jin glared at him: "Do you have the guts to order an official from the imperial court?"

Deng Xiandao: "An official appointed by the imperial court is an official appointed by the imperial court. This is no different from courage? Even...it has nothing to do with who is the emperor. The world is Song, Yuan, or Ming."

Xie Jin was confused and said, "You guys are looking for me, what are you talking about?"

Deng Xiandao: "Nothing else, I just hope Xie Gong...after the news of His Majesty's great trip comes out, he can act accordingly."

"Acting on camera?" Xie Jin was taken aback by these four words.

Although he is ambitious, but not courageous.

In fact, this is also understandable. Some people have great ambitions and are willing to take chestnuts from the fire and seek wealth and honor in a narrow escape.

But some people... eat both ends. They want to lie down and win, commonly known as lying down and winning.

Xie Jin is not willing to do things that require effort and risk.

Deng Xian seemed to have known Xie Jin for a long time, and said, "If something big happens, where will Mr. Xie go?"

Xie Jin immediately said: "Naturally, we welcome the crown prince, and ask the crown prince to inherit the great rule."

Deng Xian smiled slightly: "Many courts, civil and military, welcome the crown prince. Don't you feel embarrassed by Mr. Xie?"

Xie Jin frowned, his face even more unhappy.

Deng Xian looked straight at Xie Jin and said, "But whatever choice Mr. Xie makes is right."

Xie Jin raised his eyebrows puzzled and said, "What do you mean?"

Deng Xiandao: "It is said that governing a big country is like cooking a small dish. The reason why His Majesty can do so well is because...he has already made people feel fearful and frightening. It doesn't really matter."

Xie Jin was taken aback: "Who are you?"

Deng Xian smiled and said: "Mr. Xie, I just said that the imperial court ordered the officials. I just hope...the world should be as it was."

"It turns out... how it looked..." Xie Jin muttered to himself, he couldn't remember what it looked like before.

Deng Xiandao: "It turned out to be such a good time, but it's a pity... a humble beggar sat in the country and became the lord of the world, so the land of Shenzhou sank, and the world fell... Xie Gong... Is it true that a person like you who inherits poems and books? Do you want to be trembling in front of this commoner beggar's son and grandson, like walking on thin ice, and leaning on his nose? They can punish the minister today, and kill the son of Duke Jie tomorrow..."

Xie Jin was poked at the sore spot all of a sudden, and couldn't help saying angrily: "Shut up."

Deng Xian said calmly: "Where to go, Mr. Xie knows for himself. But after today, Mr. Xie may be able to cooperate with us. Mr. Xie... the reason why the official found you is because... Mr. Xie He is a real scholar-bureaucrat. He told these things today. Of course, he may not hope that Xie Gong can help us, but... I hope to use this to tell Xie Gong, our means. This is just a casual move by us. After today, We might work together."

Xie Jin looked hesitant. What he hesitated was not really doing something big with these people, but thinking about how he could get the most benefit in the midst of this great change.

Slowly, Xie Jin regained his expression. He couldn't handle the head of the parish, so he just said lightly: "Got it, go down."

Deng Xian nodded and said, "Yes, I will take my leave."

He made a salute to Xie Jin, and then left immediately.

…………

Qixia.

The mighty right sentinel horses are all over the sky.

Fortunately, there are many buildings here, and these thousands of people cannot be effectively deployed, and most of them are crowded in the streets and alleys.

The hundreds of model battalions were calm and relaxed. They set up their long shields, and their brand-new armors were shining brightly.

"Report." Someone hurriedly came to the right whistle general Hua Buluer and said, "There are soldiers and horses from the model battalion ahead."

Hua Buluer looked anxious, and said in a rough voice: "I'm not going to break fast, what time are you waiting for?"

Most of the generals up and down are Huabuluer's confidantes.

but……

The visitor said: "The soldiers are all hesitant. The general issued an edict to suppress the rebellion before, saying that it was the order of the palace, but...someone noticed something was wrong."

Hua Buluer sneered and said: "Whoever dares to hesitate, kill without mercy, and urge to attack."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at the general who came with him and said, "Go and supervise the battle."

"Here."

Many officers and soldiers on the right post, especially the soldiers, looked at a loss.

The ancient army, especially the soldiers, did not have any concept of right and wrong. They were called Qiu Ba, and their status was just discriminated against.

Of course, this military household had a fairly good status in the early Ming Dynasty, but no matter how much better it was than the military households in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, they could not get rid of their low status.

Most of them are illiterate and illiterate, and the military officers can control their life and death.

Outside the barracks, even if the nobles killed the common people, even if they might not be killed, at least they would still cause trouble.

But it is completely different in the army. If you violate the military law, you can be beaten to death with a military stick, and you can be killed with a little manipulation, and there will never be any trouble or responsibility.

This means that no matter what measures the ruler takes, the attachment of soldiers to military officials cannot be prohibited. The military system of the Ming Dynasty had to try its best to cut up the military power and distribute it among the senior military officials of the five armies and the admirals and eunuchs in the palace. , in the hands of the Ministry of War.

But the control over the soldiers at the bottom still continued the characteristics of the previous dynasty.

That is, the personal attachment of soldiers to military officers.

And once these military officers have any disagreements, as long as the military officers reach an agreement, no matter what order is given, the soldiers will not be able to distinguish the true from the false, let alone dare to disobey.

At this moment, Hua Buluer gave an order, and finally, the right sentinel launched an attack.

At first it was rows of firecrackers, crackling...

With the rising smoke.

The model battalion is behind a large steel shield. This kind of ordinary black gunpowder is not very powerful, and the projectiles fired do not cause any damage at all.

But after a while of bang bang bang bang, the round formation of the model camp remained motionless.

Immediately afterwards, the horse infantry began to attack.

The war horses surrounded the circle and did not attack directly. Back then, Tian Cewei used the method of direct attack because he underestimated the enemy.

But in fact, the tactics of the cavalry are often to roam outside first, looking for the opponent's weakness, and then attack suddenly, break through the weakness in the formation, and crush the opponent in one fell swoop.

It's just that these cavalry were quickly disappointed.

This circular formation is like a turtle shell, with layers of long shields, steel spears, and shining armor squeezed together, making it airtight.

"Shoot..." Arrows rained down.

The rain of arrows cut a perfect arc in the sky.

This kind of parabolic trajectory can often bypass the large shield and directly attack the people in the center of the circle.

But this arrow has almost no effect on the soldiers of the Model Battalion who have layers of armor, a layer of chain armor inside, and shoulder pads and heart protection on the armor.

Several tentative attacks had no effect.

At the moment, the military officers urged the mounted infantry to attack directly.

Thus, the horn sounded.

Countless cavalry and infantry rushed forward.

Spears pierced out from the circle, and behind the large shield, grenades were thrown one after another.

Boom... boom... boom...

The model camp has performed countless times, and it can be said to be very handy for harvesting lives.

This has almost formed a conditioned reflex. Their attacking actions are very simple, with large shields for defense, spears piercing the melee area, and long-range grenades directly attacking the enemy's rear, greatly reducing the opponent's impact, and a large number of Harvest the opponent's life.

But it was this extremely simple method that made his enemies frightened.

Flowers are in a hurry.

On the periphery of the circular formation, there were layers upon layers of corpses everywhere.

But so far, the circle still shows no signs of collapse.

He looked at the anxious people on the left and right, and said, "The Fifth Army Commander's Mansion...has there been any action?"

"At most half an hour...within half an hour, the Beijing camp will come from all directions."

Hua Buruer said anxiously: "Why did the other party have prepared in advance? Why these people... can gather so quickly, we have fallen into the trap."

"General... I'm afraid I can't eat it..."

Hua Buluer took a deep breath, and said: "Obviously, 99 things are done right, and there is no mistake. Seeing that the big thing can be accomplished, but now... I am unwilling..."

He gritted his teeth with hatred, and then his eyes widened, revealing a deep ruthlessness, and said: "Let's attack again."

"But the soldiers have... no heart to fight."

Looking at hundreds of corpses in the distance.

In fact, Huabuluer also understands that such casualties are actually enough to cause the entire line to collapse, that is, the opponent has few soldiers and no assault means such as war horses. Otherwise, the right post will be defeated.

"If such soldiers and horses appear in Monan and Mobei..." Before he finished speaking, he paused, and Hua Buluer continued with a wry smile: "Continue to supervise the battle, until now, we can only bite the bullet .”

But at this moment, the right whistle began to turn its back on its back.

With a sudden order, the circular formation began to change, and all the people quickly dispersed, and they directly started to fight back.

A group of five, two spearmen, one shieldman, one swordman holding a long knife and a small shield, guarding a grenadier, each person has a clear division of labor, forming a small team, with spearmen on the left and right Harvesting, the man holding a large shield provided defense, the sword player protected the grenadier, and for a while, the right whistle who was caught off guard began to retreat.

And all of this happened overnight.

Gu Xingzu, who was guarding the venue with a team of people, was also in armor at this time, watching from a distance, he was not surprised at all by the defeat of these right whistlers.

On the battlefield, the victory or defeat is in the blink of an eye. Most of the officers and soldiers, as long as the attack is blocked, their morale will be extremely low.

In addition... Although the two sides didn't fight for a long time, the consumption of physical strength was huge, just like sprinting and sprinting alone. It seemed that it was only a short time, but it was enough to quickly exhaust one's physical strength.

The model battalion is different. Not only is the military order like a mountain, but the physical strength is several times that of ordinary officers and soldiers. This is brought about by long-term training and sufficient nutrition.

Gu Xingzu turned around and hurried into the venue. In his opinion, there was no need to pay too much attention to the situation outside.

Inside the venue, the merchants trembled tremblingly when they heard the shouts outside, and some even trembled in fright.

They were asked to huddle together in a corner.

It was an auction that was going well, but... unexpectedly, such a thing happened. The guy who was calling Riva to refund the money just now also kept silent.

The scholar just sneered, he heard the sound of firecrackers, the sound of arrows piercing the air like locusts, and shouts of killing from all directions, but he seemed calm and composed.

It's just...he is weak and always coughs.

Zhu Di had an extraordinary bearing, and he was neither in a hurry nor impatient, and sat steadily.

He is very clear about the situation on the right whistle.As for the situation of the model camp, he was also very clear.

Although it was very dangerous at the moment, according to his judgment, even if the model battalion was not supported, it would be enough to persist until reinforcements arrived.

There must not be many rebellious soldiers, and the governors of the five armies' governor's mansion should still be loyal. As for the other troops, they will not miss the opportunity to serve the king.

However, there is one thing that must be admitted. Fortunately, Zhang Anshi responded in a timely manner. If it is a little bit late, the whole situation may have to be rewritten.

The current situation is fortunate.

Zhu Di calculated the reactions of everyone in the capital in his mind, and he closed his eyes slightly. At this moment, he finally no longer looked like a reckless general, but more like a king whose authority had been challenged.

Zhu Di sat still for a long time, pondered, without saying a word, at this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, raised his head suddenly, and squinted at the scholar.

That scholar... he still felt very familiar, but... where had he seen it?
But at this time, Zhang Anshi had already arrived in front of the scholar, raised his hand and slapped him again, and said angrily, "Bastard, what are you laughing at?"

The scholar was beaten until he coughed desperately for a long time before he said, "I laugh at you...you don't know how to die..."

Zhang Anshi was happy: "Do you think...with your three-legged cat skills, you can die with us?"

The scholar smiled coldly.

Zhang Anshi said: "What kind of conspiracy do you have? I know that people like you, the Three Caves of the Rabbit, must not only deploy people here."

The scholar's face was a little red and swollen from being slapped, but at this moment he smiled and said, "Guess what?"

Zhang Anshi looked at him coldly and said, "There's no need to guess at all, they are nothing more than trivial tricks. As long as Your Majesty and I are still alive, those tricks of yours are nothing but jokes."

The scholar sighed: "It's a pity...a person like you...is a talent..."

He showed a look of regret, as if he was saying, how can you be a thief if you are a beautiful woman.

Zhang Anshi didn't feel sorry for this person at all, he just wished he could tear this person apart with his hands.

"Your Majesty... the bandit army has been defeated."

At this moment, Gu Xingzu came in and shouted loudly.

Zhu Di stood up, frowning, he didn't expect...to be defeated so quickly, and said in his mouth: "The whole right post has been defeated?"

Gu Xingzu said excitedly: "That's right, they started to retreat, but I don't dare to let the soldiers pursue too much, anyway, soon, King Qin's troops will besiege them, Humble and the model battalion, escorts are important."

As soon as this remark came out, the scholar's face changed slightly.

After hearing this, Zhu Di beamed with joy and said: "As expected, it is worthy of being a model camp. It's very good to be in his mother's camp!"

After he finished speaking, his brows were beaming with joy, and he said to Zhang Anshi: "Everyone in the model battalion should be rewarded, and rewarded heavily. I don't reward them for their meritorious service, but I want to reward them for their bravery."

As he said that, Zhu Di sneered and looked at the scholar.

Seeing the stunned look of the scholar, Zhu Di said: "In my opinion, you are no more than mediocre. Now I will catch you all in one go. Let's see how long you can be rampant."

I don't know if it was because he was disappointed with the result, but the scholar began to cough desperately again, as if he was about to die, heart-piercing.

Immediately, Zhu Di didn't look at the scholar any more, but said to the merchants: "It's safe outside, you should disperse separately, remember, come to the auction in a few days, don't be afraid, there will be no more thieves in Qixia."

The merchants were trembling, first they were afraid of the chaos outside, but at this time, it was the emperor in front of them that made them tremble.

This is the emperor, alive and kicking.

But the merchants refused to leave, and said one by one: "Your Majesty...Your Majesty...Caomin...Caomin people...let's wait a little longer, I'm afraid there are still rebels outside."

Zhu Di was actually quite polite to them, and said with a smile: "In that case, just wait. What happened today was just an accident. You have also seen that the chaotic party is vulnerable. Don't miss the future because of this... auction."

The merchants had no choice but to say: "Yes, yes..."

They appear so timid that they dare not even raise their heads.

I just feel that what happened today is like a dream.

Another two sticks of incense passed.

Suddenly someone flew to report: "Your Majesty, a group of Xiaoqi is here. It is the forward Xiaoqi led by the Duke of Wei. He is here to escort King Qin."

With his hands behind his back, Zhu Di looked majestic again, and said coldly, "You only came at this time, and you dare to call yourself the escort of King Qin? If I point them to come to escort King Qin, I'm afraid they are already dead. Who is the leader?"

"It's a Qianhu named Liu Zhan."

Zhu Di nodded: "Tell him to come to me, I have an explanation."

Soon, a thousand households came in a hurry, and when they saw that Zhu Di was still alive, they seemed relieved.

Looking up, I saw Zhang Anshi standing beside Zhu Di.

Then he stepped forward, dressed in armor, and only made a military salute: "Wei Guogong learned about the situation, and ordered King Qin, the humble man and horse, happened to be performing in Zhongshan, and came immediately after receiving the urgent report. Fortunately, your majesty is safe. If not, the humble man Wait, even ten thousand deaths will not forgive sins."

Zhu Di said: "Has Duke Wei dispatched troops to come?"

"Exactly, the three major battalions moved upon hearing the wind." Qianhu Liu Zhan said: "I don't dare to hesitate when I know the general order of the five armies' governor's mansion."

Zhu Di nodded: "Is there any trouble on Zhongshan's side?"

Zhong Shan was close to the mausoleum of Emperor Taizu Gao. If there was trouble there, Zhu Di might not have the face to see Emperor Taizu Gao in the future.

"Zhong Shan's side is safe."

Zhu Di secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "What orders do you have from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies?"

"Only order to King Qixiaqin, nothing else." said Liu Zhan of the thousand households.

Zhu Di said to Zhang Anshi: "Duke Wei...he made a decisive decision..."

Here he goes.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a dragon chant that pierced through the air, and Liu Zhan, a thousand households, suddenly pulled out a dagger from under his cloak.

The dagger was sharp and reflected cold light, but it stabbed at Zhu Di fiercely.

It's all too fast.

It was so fast that no one expected it.

Even Zhu Di never imagined that at this moment, the Qianhu of King Qin would suddenly make a move.

Zhu Di's pupils constricted, and with his super reflexes, he was about to perform a buttocks backwards flat sand and falling geese, and then a Qin King circling the pillar. His reaction was beyond everyone's imagination. In a state of embarrassment, in Zhu Di's life as a soldier, he has experienced many dangers, and this means of survival is nothing.

But it was too late.

After all, Qianhu Liu Zhan's actions caught people off guard, and the place is small, so in order to play it right, Liu Zhan deliberately approached Zhu Di to talk, and Zhu Di was not alert at the time.

But at this moment, the pupils in Zhu Di's eyes shrank, and he seemed to have thought that he might not be able to escape this fatal blow.

Keng...

A crisp sound.

The dagger pierced Zhang Anshi's arm fiercely.

Immediately afterwards, sparks flew.

Zhu Di: "..."

Liu Zhan never expected that Zhang Anshi's reaction was faster.

What was even more speechless was that he found that this dagger was going down, even if he killed Zhang Anshi, but... this dagger... was actually broken.

This Liu Zhan used all his strength. After Zhang Anshi blocked the dagger, he fell down suddenly.

He clutched his forearm and yelled: "I'm hurt, I'm going to die, come and save me..."

All of a sudden, the entire venue fell into chaos again.

Immediately, a few imperial guards took Liu Zhan down quickly, without giving him a second chance.

Zhu Di also fell off the chair, and after turning over, he said, "No, An Shi was assassinated, and he got into his mother... call the doctor, call the doctor..."

Both Zhang Fu and Zhu Yong shouted mournfully, "Brother...don't die."

Seeing Zhang Anshi lying on the ground, his face turned pale from fright...

Outside the venue, Qiu Song heard the movement, rushed in, and shouted: "Kill my elder brother, everyone will die..."

Holding a gunpowder bag in his arms, he rushed in like a calf.

Zhu Di's face was bloodless, seeing Zhang Anshi lying on the ground, not moving for a long time.

Subconsciously squatting down, wanting to inspect Zhang Anshi's wound.

Zhang Anshi suddenly said: "Don't move...don't touch me..."

Zhang Anshi continued to maintain a strange posture, biting his teeth in pain.

"Doctor, call the military doctor from the model battalion..." Zhu Yong grabbed Qiu Song and shouted.

At this moment, Zhu Di was furious, and he drew the guard's knife, and stabbed the subdued Liu Zhan's throat fiercely.

Liu Zhan was still looking rebellious just now, but in an instant, there was no trace of blood on his face, and then... a big mouthful of blood sprayed out from his mouth.

The pain of cutting the trachea with the long knife made his body twitch continuously. Zhu Di drew the knife, and blood sprayed on Zhu Di's body.

Zhu Di was covered in blood, holding a bloody knife in his hand, and said angrily, "You all will be buried with me..."

"I'm not dead yet...Your Majesty..." Zhang Anshi said suddenly on the ground.

"..."

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Anshi didn't let anyone help him, but stood up slowly by himself while covering his forearm.

He let out a long breath, and said: "It really hurts. Fortunately, I wear two sets of armor, otherwise, I would die without a place to bury. Fortunately, I was smart since I was a child..."

Zhu Di: "..."

The people in the venue also stopped panicking immediately, and looked at Zhang Anshi with strange eyes.

However, there was indeed no blood on Zhang Anshi's forearm, but it was obvious that a layer of armor had been pierced, and half of the armguard was hanging on his arm, and inside... a layer of intact armor was shining brightly. armor.

Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Damn it, you didn't say it earlier."

Zhang Anshi said aggrievedly: "It really hurts. Although there is no external injury, but the strength of this dog is so strong, I feel that my forearm must have suffered an internal injury, and I can't move it yet..."

He covered his forearm and grinned.

Zhu Di was overjoyed and said: "It's okay, a little injury is nothing for a man, it will be fine after a few days of care, I will take off my clothes and show you the scars on my body, and you will know that these minor injuries of yours are nothing more than mediocre."

Zhu Di then said again: "You boy, I didn't expect to react so quickly, yes, yes, it seems that these days, I have practiced hard on bow and horse."

Zhang Anshi shook his head and said: "I didn't practice, the reason why I reacted in a timely manner was because... it was because... hey... my arm... no, the forearm hurts... the reason why I responded in a timely manner was because I had expected this Liu Zhan has a problem."

Zhu Di was surprised and said: "Really? Why didn't I find out?"

Zhang Anshi said: "All of this has to start with this son-of-a-bitch scholar. This person...is too cunning. I always feel that he will definitely have something after him. It can't be that simple...it must be He will ambush him. That's why Caichen deliberately asked him what kind of tricks he had. When His Majesty said that he would wipe them all out and was full of confidence, I had been observing the scholar all the time, but he suddenly coughed heart-piercingly. , as if about to die, only then did I realize... things are not as simple as I imagined."

Zhu Di was confused when he heard this, and said, "I still don't understand."
