After hearing the report from Zuodu Yushi, Zhou Xingzhi almost understood what happened.

After Prince Jia heard that he was taking Ye Ningxuan to the palace to test Gongsheng, he probably had a plan to rebel.First, they sent people to the area around the capital secretly, and when the border army came out in pieces, they sent people to start spreading rumors.

The credibility of the content of the rumor is very low, but three people become a tiger, let alone so many people keep talking, people will believe half of it even if they don't fully believe it.

At this time, if Prince Jia uttered the slogan of eliminating the demon queen from the side of the Qing emperor, he would have a very perfect reason to bring the army to the capital.As long as he and Ye Ningxuan are successfully eliminated, the victor, Prince Jia, will write history recklessly, and the previous rumors will become the so-called truth.

After thinking of this, Zhou Xingzhi suddenly realized a problem.If Prince Jia had the ability to break up nearly [-] soldiers to the vicinity of the capital, would a small number of people have already entered the capital in disguise?

Thinking of this, Zhou Xingzhi's face changed, and he turned to look at Ye Ningxuan, "Ningxuan, I need you to do me a favor?"

"What's the matter?" Ye Ningxuan was looking at the defense map of the capital, thinking about how to gather troops as quickly as possible.

"The Imperial Forest Army in the Imperial Mausoleum has almost finished training. I hope Ning Xuan, you can go out of the palace and bring those Imperial Forest Army over. At that time, you can strengthen the defense of the Imperial City." Zhou Xingzhi said in a very serious tone. calm.

Ye Ningxuan was a little surprised when she heard that, the total number of soldiers in the five guards of Dongdaying was almost 3. In addition, the capital is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is enough to hold the capital and wait for other troops to arrive.At this time, it seems a bit redundant to use the words of the Imperial Forest Army.

"Don't be afraid of anything, just be afraid of [-]. It's always better to be more thoughtful." Zhou Xingzhi said, "I mean, the best way to improve combat effectiveness is actual combat, so that the Imperial Forest Army can see the world."

"That's fine." Zhou Xingzhi's argument had no logical loopholes, so Ye Ningxuan didn't delve into it, "It will take about a day for me to come and go. You should stay in the palace and don't go out casually."

"Well, I'll wait for their news here." Zhou Xingzhi agreed without hesitation, "This is my token, and they will listen to your arrangements if you take this."

"Okay." Ye Ningxuan took the token.

After a small group of imperial guards escorted Ye Ningxuan to leave, Zhou Xingzhi's face darkened, and he directly called the commanders of the imperial guards and personal guards over.

"If I guessed correctly, the other party's internal response must have been mixed into the capital, and there may be a combination of internal response and external response to open the city gate." Zhou Xingzhi said.

The number of guards guarding the palace plus the personal guards barely exceeds 5000, but it is impossible for the palace to be guarded by no one, so the number of people who can be drawn is limited, and [-] people are enough.

"These 5000 people are divided into five teams, four of which are patrolling around the four city gates. If there are any suspicious candidates, they will be killed without mercy." Zhou Xingzhi said, "The other 1000 people will give me the residence of Prince Jia. No one inside is allowed to come out."

Although Prince Jia would definitely not be inside, his concubines, sons and daughters would certainly not be taken away. If there is any accident, these people can also be used.

Things went exactly as Zhou Xingzhi had expected. In addition to the [-] soldiers outside the city gate, Prince Jia's confidants brought hundreds of good men into the city ahead of time, preparing to open the city gate together.

In order to make himself more justified, Prince Jia deliberately asked people to wait outside the city for an hour, and only started to attack the city after his confidants began to spread Zhou Xingzhi's scandal.

"My lord, the little emperor sent people to surround your palace, and your children were all under control." Prince Jia hid behind the army, and the news in the capital quickly spread to his family members. in the ear.

"The little emperor reacted very quickly, so I guessed it was my handwriting so quickly." Prince Jia sneered, "Don't worry about them, if the little emperor dares to touch them, I will have a more legitimate reason to do it to the little emperor gone."

It's just a few concubines and unimportant concubine sons. His wife and son-in-law have already been released by him.

The duties of the imperial guards were mainly to guard the palace and patrol around the palace. The rest of the guards quickly acted according to the previous arrangement. There was a bloody smell.

"My lord, the south gate is asking for reinforcements. There are suddenly 500 more people there, all of them are good players. Our people are about to be overwhelmed!" Soldiers came to ask for help on fast horses.

"You, bring 500 people to support!" The commander made an arrangement very rationally, "Remember, unless we are dead, the city gate must not be lost!"

"Yes!" Fujian took the lead, and quickly called out 500 people to support.

Zhou Xingzhi continued to study the defense map of the capital with the commander of the imperial guards in the imperial study, "In about an hour, I will have a batch of things delivered from the north. Make sure that the north city gate is not lost."

"Your Majesty, if people are still transferred out at this time, there will not be enough people in the palace..." The commander of the Imperial Guard hesitated a little. Compared with the so-called things, His Majesty's safety was obviously more important.

"Why is there no one? Aren't so many eunuchs and maids human?" Zhou Xingzhi said, "Although these people are not as powerful as soldiers, they are good logistics personnel."

If it weren't for the fact that he was the emperor, Zhou Xingzhi would have thought that he would ride directly to the place where the artillery was stored, and push the artillery all the way there.

It's a pity that Zhou Xingzhi is the emperor.In order to give confidence to those soldiers who were fighting outside, she had to stay in the palace, stabilize the situation in the palace by the way, and ensure the safety of Qin Ran, Zhong Qingyi and others.

Just when Zhou Xingzhi used his brain to check for any leaks in the palace, Zhong Qingyi ran over in a hurry, "Your Majesty, is there something wrong outside?"

Zhou Xingzhi withdrew his consciousness from his brain, "A small problem can be solved soon."

"Your Majesty, Qin... The Empress Dowager just told me that if Your Majesty needs it, Duke An and my father can temporarily dispatch some people and let His Majesty command you." Zhong Qingyi said.

After hearing Zhong Qingyi's words, Zhou Xingzhi frowned slightly, "How many people are there?"

"About 1000 people." Zhong Qingyi said, "They are all skilled, but their weapons may need to be provided by His Majesty. If they have armor, their attack power will be doubled."

Zhou Xingzhi bent his fingers and tapped the table lightly, his eyes fell on Zhong Qingyi.After seeing Zhong Qingyi feel a little uncomfortable, Zhou Xingzhi smiled.

"Tsing Yi, I need you and the queen mother to do me a favor." Zhou Xingzhi said with a smile.

"Ah, what are you busy with?" Zhong Qingyi's intuition told her that what Zhou Xingzhi should want to do by himself is probably an earth-shattering event.

"Small things, you just..."

Ye Ningxuan didn't take away many people, including herself, there were no more than 26 people.After riding a horse for two hours, Ye Ningxuan arrived at the outskirts of the imperial tomb which was actually a military camp.

Without saying a word, Ye Ningxuan directly showed the sign that Zhou Xingzhi gave her, "Except for the necessary garrison personnel, all of you should carry a day's supply of dry food, put on your equipment and weapons, and follow me!"

"Yes!" After seeing the gold medal in Ye Ningxuan's hand, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army quickly conveyed the order without asking any questions.

The more than one year of training was not in vain. It took less than two quarters of an hour from the time the order was conveyed to when the soldiers were arranged in a neat formation.

"Let's go." Ye Ningxuan didn't explain anything to the general, and walked back with her head straight.

It took Ye Ningxuan two hours to come here on a fast horse, and it took at least five to six hours to drive back with an army of more than 1 people, even if they kept marching fast.

Not to mention that it was already afternoon when she arrived at the imperial mausoleum, and the speed of marching at night would have been much slower.

Reason told Ye Ningxuan that if the soldiers from Dongdaying were transferred, it would not matter if they guarded the capital for a month, let alone a day.But she always felt that she seemed to be missing something, which made her feel inexplicably uneasy.

Zhou Xingzhi gave orders very quickly, and the separated guards indeed dealt with many people.But what she didn't expect was that she prevented the people who sneaked into the capital, but she failed to prevent the generals stationed at the south gate from rebelling.

After seeing the news that the South City Gate had fallen, Zhou Xingzhi's complexion became very bad.If a city gate is lost, it means that the capital's first line of defense is gone.

"Where are the people from Dongdaying?" Zhou Xingzhi asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, all the five guards in the East Day Camp have been dispatched, but the opponent has kidnapped some people, so the attack was blocked, and only half of the opponent's people can be held back." The general quickly gave the answer.

"Speed ​​up and place these ten cannons at the gate of the imperial palace." Zhou Xingzhi said, looked at the silver-white armor on his body, and subconsciously put his hand on the saber.

The cannon is very lethal. She originally planned to let the guards and the city guards hold her back. When the time comes, she will fire the cannon at the gate of the city. After a few shots, the enemy's morale will be broken.

But Zhou Xingzhi didn't expect that the south door couldn't stand it for several hours, and had already let people in.If the artillery is used at this time, it will definitely damage the houses of some residents. If the firing is inaccurate, it is easy to accidentally injure the people.

Tsk, it seems that my previous methods were too gentle. At this time, there are still people who want to betray themselves and seek refuge with Prince Jia.

"Choose people with good skills and get on the horse to prepare for battle." Zhou Xingzhi got off the horse as he spoke, and walked towards the city wall of the imperial city under the protection of his personal guards.

The city wall of the capital city is the first line of defense, so the city wall of the imperial city is the last line of defense.If the palace was captured by the rebels, her life would be in danger.

Of course, Zhou Xingzhi would not allow this kind of thing to happen, so she dispatched all the imperial guards from the palace and asked Zhong Qingyi and Qinglang to protect the dowagers and themselves in the palace.

This time, she will personally command the defense of the imperial city.
