Daming Military Empire

Chapter 10
As the saying goes: The revenge of killing one's father is not shared.Although Luo Yangxing didn't know which dynasty or sage's famous aphorism this sentence came from, it didn't prevent him from reviewing this famous saying several times in his heart every day.Originally he was desperate, Wei Zhongxian's power at the top of the sky and Mrs. Fengsheng's incomparably noble status in Ming Xizong's eyes made him unable to think of revenge.

However, just a few days ago, he received a secret decree: When I died, you were the Tongzhi of Jin Yiwei, responsible for guarding the safety of the imperial city, I respect you.

This decree is a bit strange:
First of all, this time is a bit strange, there is no specific time, who knows when the current emperor will die.

Then, the location is also a bit strange, the imperial city has grown, the Forbidden City is still the outer palace, and it is not clear at all whether it is just the gates or all the halls are responsible for guarding.

Then, the responsibilities are also a bit strange. How do people understand the word that they are responsible for guarding the safety of the palace? Is it responsible or coordinated?

Finally, and the strangest point, he did not explain how many people he led to guard the palace.

Ordinary people would probably be fooled by this edict, but Luo Yangxing is not an ordinary person. He was originally a famous second-generation official, a lawless lord. The old Luo family had a hereditary family of brocade clothes and guards since the Jiajing period, and it was even more hereditary in the Wanli period. Jin Yiwei Commander, it can be said that apart from the emperor, there is no one in his old Luo family who dare not offend.

If his father hadn't been killed by Wei Zhongxian, he would have been the commander of Jin Yiwei now, what a prestige.

The old Luo family had a sworn feud with Wei Zhongxian, the emperor knew about it, and since he knew about it and used him, then what he wanted him to do must be more than just guarding the imperial city.

His understanding was that the emperor used me to fight against Wei Zhongxian, and the sooner the better, it would be best if I confronted Wei Zhongxian as soon as he died.

The imperial decree translated from Luo Yangxing's understanding is: You can go there when I die, don't care about the location, you can guard wherever there are people from Wei Zhongxian; don't care who is responsible, anyway, you don't have to listen to Wei Zhongxian; Staff, you can pull as many as you can, as long as it is Jinyiwei.

In short, it is one word: do it!

Therefore, when news of Ming Xizong's critical illness came from the palace, he immediately issued an order. He didn't know how many thousands of households would help him with old feelings in mind. Anyway, as long as they were his father's former subordinates, he had notified them all. He has no idea how much he will come.

As soon as the order was issued, he immediately took out the imperial boa robe and dressed neatly, picked up the embroidered spring knife and rushed to West Chang'an Street.

Not long after the death knell sounded, he rushed to West Chang'an Avenue. At this time, the street was deserted, and there was not even a ghost. There were many Jinyi guards standing on the opposite palace wall. The factory's fan, it seems that Wei Zhongxian has already started to block the imperial city.

Luo Yangxing was originally a piece of meat with a hob, but now that he had the imperial decree of the former emperor, he was even more unscrupulous, so he simply stopped in the middle of West Chang'an Avenue.He made up his mind that even if only one thousand households came today, he would make Wei Zhongxian sick.

Time passed slowly, and Jin Yiwei school captains gathered behind him one after another. These were the direct guards of his old Luo family, who sent out orders.

A quarter of an hour passed, and finally a large group of brocade guards came down to West Chang'an Street in a neat formation led by a middle-aged Qianhu. Luo Yangxing had a gratified smile on his face, and he went forward to greet him. But Hu raised his hand to stop the phalanx behind him, then knelt on one knee and cupped his hands and said, "Wu Ciren, a thousand households of the left guard in Jinyi, sees Mr. Luo."

Luo Yangxing hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said gratefully: "Uncle Wu doesn't need to perform such a great gift, I would be very grateful if you could come, finally there is someone who can remember the old love and remember my father's kindness."

Wu Ciren was unhappy when he heard this, and shouted: "Master Xiao Luo, what are you talking about? Which of us old brothers has not been taken care of by Mr. Luo? Xianglai."

At this time, a large group of Jinyiwei came from a distance, and Qianhu who was in the lead responded loudly: "Well said, Lao Wu, let's see who dares not come, brother, I will beat him together with you when I turn around. These little bastards line up the formation first, let’s line up in a single row of long snakes, otherwise I’m afraid they won’t be able to stand up later.”

Luo Yangxing looked around, the West Chang'an Street might be twenty or thirty paces wide, and there would be no more than 3 to 6 people!Although Jinyiwei now has 1 guards, almost 3 people, but there are many people who are sent to other places for business, plus more than [-] people who have taken refuge in Wei Zhongxian, the rest is only [-] to [-] people. Really run over here!

Seeing that the newly arrived Qianhu was about to kneel down and salute, he hurried up to support him, and said excitedly, "Uncle Fang, it's good if you can come, don't make such a big salute, my nephew can't afford it."

That Qianhu surnamed Fang was not pretentious, he cupped his hands, accused him of a crime, and ordered his subordinates to leave the battle.

Sure enough, as they said, in less than half an hour, all the 25 thousands of households notified came, and in a short while, the entire left half of West Chang'an Street was lined up with brocade guards, scaring the guards on the palace wall. I hurried to inform my boss.

This guy, isn't he trying to rebel?
Naturally, Luo Yangxing didn't want to rebel. He saw that everyone was here, and he didn't care whether the time was up or not. He directly commanded the huge team and walked towards the left gate of Chang'an with neat steps.

Jinyiwei has never organized such a big battle since its establishment. There are more than 2 people in 25 rows, which are more than two miles long. Flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives are all neatly arranged. It is quite a spectacle!I am afraid that this is the only time in a lifetime. Everyone who participated in it felt extremely honored, and each of them raised their heads and chests with high spirits.

At this time, no less than 2000 people had gathered at the left gate of Chang'an. There were Jinyiwei and Dongchang fans. Four Jinyiwei Qianhu led the way. He shouted: "Stop those who come, what are you doing, do you want to rebel?"

Hearing this, Luo Yangxing raised his hand, and the Jinyiwei behind him stopped. He stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "Jinyiwei Tongzhi Luo Yangxing is here to hand over the guards of the imperial city. Hurry up and get together, and you can leave after the handover is done." gone."

Luo Yangxing originally thought that Wei Zhongxian would come, so he prepared a bunch of excuses, wanting to get his mouth full first, and made him look ashamed.He didn't expect that the person facing him was just a small Qianhu, so he didn't bother to talk too much, it was the right way to hold the guard of the imperial city first, and then slowly fight with Wei Zhongxian.

Unexpectedly, Qianhu on the opposite side not only did not retreat, but taunted him: "Tongzhi of Jinyiwei? I am still the commander of Jinyiwei. Who are you bluffing? Think I don't know Mr. Tongzhi, right?"

Oh, it's really strange that there are thousands of households in Jinyiwei who don't know him. He asked curiously: "Who are you, you don't know me?"

The thousand households replied arrogantly: "You don't even know me. I am Wei Liangqing, the nephew of Eunuch Wei, the governor of Jinyiwei and the admiral of the East Factory. What kind of onion are you? Why should I know you?"

The faces of the three thousand households behind him changed when they heard his words, and the oldest one hurried forward and whispered in his ear: "Master Wei, let's withdraw first, we can't afford to mess with this person. "

Now it's Wei Liangqing's turn to be surprised, my uncle is nine thousand years old, besides the emperor, is there anyone he can't afford?He turned his head and asked in disbelief: "Can't afford to offend him? Who is he? Is it really our Jin Yiwei fellow acquaintance? I haven't heard of it, he said yes?"

That Qianhu secretly glanced at Luo Yangxing, and said anxiously: "He said that he is a member of Jinyiwei, that is self-effacement, he is the hereditary commander of Jinyiwei, Master Wei, hurry up, or you won't be able to leave !"

Wei Liangqing was puzzled, and asked curiously: "Why can't I go away? He knows who my uncle is and dares to arrest me? Is he looking for death or what?"

Just because your uncle is Wei Zhongxian, he wants to arrest you. This guy has a deadly enemy with your old Wei family. Didn’t Eunuch Wei tell you?But, then again, Eunuch Wei has harmed so many people that he probably doesn't even remember clearly, let alone his nephew Wei Liangqing!

Seeing Wei Liangqing like this, the thousand households knew that there was no hope. He didn't want to be implicated, so he shook his head helplessly and retreated.

In fact, Wei Liangqing just said that he was Wei Zhongxian's nephew and couldn't leave. Luo Yangxing just wanted to see what the Qianhu who came up from behind was up to, but in the end he just whispered a few words there and then nothing happened.Then I'm sorry, the old guy can't deal with it for the time being, first catch the little one, and charge some interest.

As soon as the Qianhu retreated, he shouted: "Come here, arrest this traitor who defies the imperial decree and contradicts the Shangguan."

The more than 20 thousand households in the back had already been gearing up there. Hearing the words, they immediately rushed up, pressed the stunned Wei Liangqing to the ground, clasped his hands behind his back and tied them tightly, then lifted them up and pushed them in front of Luo Yangxing.

Luo Yangxing reached out and patted Wei Liangqing's face, jokingly said: "You don't even know me, how dare you be a Jinyi guard? How dare you tell me that you are Wei Zhongxian's nephew!"

Wei Liangqing said in horror: "What are you doing? I'm really Eunuch Wei's nephew. If you don't believe me, ask them."

This idiot, still confused about the situation, Luo Yangxing simply followed his words and asked the three thousand households on the opposite side: "Is he really Wei Zhongxian's nephew?"

The three thousand households on the opposite side couldn't laugh or cry, they could only nod mechanically.

Luo Yangxing looked at Wei Liangqing with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "That's right, let's go."

Wei Liangqing yelled in fright: "You don't want to live anymore, my uncle will not pull your skins if he knows."

The few thousand households who guarded him frowned watching Luo Yangxing being quarreled.

One of them, Qianhu, took out a large piece of linen from his arms, crumpled it into a ball the size of a fist, pinched Wei Liangqing's mouth and was about to stuff it in, Wei Liangqing quickly closed his mouth tightly.

That Qianhu winked to the side, and the other Qianhu immediately understood and punched Wei Liangqing in the stomach.Wei Liangqing who was beaten opened his mouth and screamed miserably. As soon as he opened his mouth, a ball of burlap stuffed his mouth, and the whole world finally became quiet.

Luo Yangxing nodded in satisfaction, and asked with a smile: "What about you, do you also want to resist the decree?"

Just kidding, who doesn't know that your old Luo family is the head of Jinyiwei, and the old disciples are all over the Jinyiwei, if you fight with you, don't you want to die!The three thousand households quickly shook their heads and said to each other: "We listen to Master Tongzhi, hand over immediately, hand over immediately."

In the Qianqing Palace, Shi Fenglai, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, had just arranged for Ming Xizong to be encoffined. Before the dragon coffin was closed, the eunuch on duty cautiously preached outside: "Jinyiwei Tongzhi Luo Yangxing asks to see you."

Xin Wang Zhu Youjian, Empress Zhang and Sun Chengzong couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Luo Yangxing really led Jin Yiwei to fight Wei Zhongxian, and he even got the upper hand.

Zhu Cijiong also heaved a sigh of relief, it seemed that Luo Yangxing had already controlled the guards of the imperial city, and the struggle on the surface was over, and the next thing was to see what tricks Wei Zhongxian was going to play secretly.
