Pet official

After listening for a while, Zhao Qing finally understood Liu Tong's painstaking efforts.

The elder was afraid that Song Ren would be accused of murdering his brother and usurping the throne in the future, so he wanted to add fuel to the flames, helping Concubine Shu, the eldest prince and others to fight against Empress Wei.

At this time, they are only afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and they want to stir up as much chaos as possible. Only in this way can they move their troops back to the court and buy precious time.

After discussing for a long time, the two split up.

Zhao Qing wrote a letter, detailing all kinds of incidents that happened in the palace these days, and handed it to Liu Tong after writing, and asked him to send it to Yanhui City, and then to Song Ren.

Liu Tong took the letter and sent Zhao Qing out, telling him to stay with the eldest prince and be careful in everything.Zhao Qing thanked him with a bow, turned around and left Liu's mansion, walked around the street a few times, and then walked in the direction of Prince Xuan's mansion.

When the eldest prince heard that his mother was forced to be buried and her life was at stake, his face immediately changed.Song Xuan was furious, and quickly ordered people to invite Shu Shangshu and his father-in-law, Cheng Yiguang, Jing Zhaoyin of Gyeonggi, to come to the mansion to discuss.

Several people got together and agreed to send troops immediately, under the banner of the Qing emperor, to mobilize 1 troops from the five cities' soldiers and horses, as well as the private soldiers that the eldest prince had kept in private over the years, rushed into the imperial city, and killed Wei. The queen and Song Ke pushed the eldest prince to the throne in one fell swoop.

Now that they have reached such a field, if they don't fight back, they just wait for Queen Wei to ransack their homes one by one.

A few people made up their minds, Cheng Yiguang came out of Prince Xuan's mansion, and hurried to his wife's uncle's mansion, his wife's uncle was the commander of the five cities' soldiers and horses, and he was in charge of [-] soldiers and horses for the garrison. The imperial guards used by the capital city and Chen Da's subordinates are the two most important lines of defense in the capital.Now the two lines of defense are doing their own thing, and they even have to fight to the death.

Cheng Yiguang said something quietly, and Zhu Chengda, the commander of the five cities' soldiers and horses, was taken aback for a moment. He was speechless for a long time, and after a long silence, he sighed and lamented: "After all, I still can't escape this day. That's all! I don't care if I don't follow today." , even if I want to come to the Empress, I can't tolerate me. Since our family is married to the First Prince, even if I shout out my throat, no matter how I am not part of the First Prince's party, who will believe me?"

Zhu Chengda sighed, settled the family affairs, came out with Cheng Yiguang, mobilized the soldiers and horses of the five cities, first sealed off the four cities of the capital, closed the gates, and did not allow people to come and go at will.All the people on both sides of the road were dispersed, and a curfew will be implemented from now on. All the people who are still wandering on the street after Youzheng will be sent to the military camp as slaves.They set up a fort on the city tower and sent soldiers and horses to patrol the city back and forth, one post at five steps and one post at ten steps. On the bustling and lively streets in the past, it took only half a day to see a single person.

The four cities were under martial law, and the people were panic-stricken. No one knew what happened. It was not until more than an hour later, when there was a loud sound of artillery hitting the top of the city, that the people in the capital suddenly woke up. , I am afraid that the sky will change again in the palace.

Fortunately, Liu Tong had sent out Zhao Qing's letter before sealing the city gate.

The messenger knew that the situation was urgent and he couldn't delay for a moment. After leaving the capital, he ran all the way, nonstop day and night, and changed dozens of post horses one after another before delivering the letter to Yanhui City.

After Song Ju read the letter, his heart sank.He quickly gathered all the generals and asked them to count the soldiers and horses. The three armies set off and immediately moved back to the court.

All the generals were shocked when Song Ren explained the reason.Unexpectedly, within three years after they left Beijing, such earth-shattering changes would occur in Beijing.There is no need to say anything superfluous at the moment. After a battle, they have long been in awe of Song Ruo, and they wholeheartedly recognize him as the Lord. Now they will naturally follow Song Ruo, return to Beijing to clean up the mess, and help him regain the throne.

Song Ren was very grateful, thanked the generals, and told Sima Hong to stay in Yan and return to the city to deal with the post-war affairs.In addition, another soldier will be sent to Yulong Pass to guard it.The border gate should not be left vacant for a long time. If Beimang knew the news of the chaos in the capital and took advantage of the chaos to break through the border defense and go all the way south, they would be hit by the enemy and it would be difficult to support them.

Originally wanted Ma Yuan to go back to Yulong Pass, but when he heard that Ruan Yunqing's cousin was missing and his life and death were uncertain, he jumped up immediately.The godson's relatives are also his Ma Yuan's relatives, who is so bold, even dare to bully his Ma family, he is simply impatient!

Ma Yuan immediately patted the table and decided that he would go back to Beijing with Song Bin to help Ruan Yunqing.Ma Yuan just recognized Ruan Yunqing as his adopted son. This child is well-behaved and sensible, and he has won Ma Yuan's favor. Ma Yuan loves Ruan Yunqing so much that he doesn't know what to do. Now he is facing such an opportunity, of course he has to show off in front of his godson. own ability.

With the help of Ma Yuan, a tiger and wolf teacher, Song Ren's trip is really even more powerful.He was overjoyed and immediately agreed.He also picked a guard from Yanhui City and sent him to the border to guard the border, and he must guard the gate for Dongli.

All the generals were ordered to go, and each went down to make arrangements.In the afternoon of that day, everything was packed up, including food, supplies, weapons and other things.

Song Ren bid farewell to Sima Hong, led Nie Pengcheng and Ma Yuan, and 20 horses from various ministries under them. After leaving Yan and returning to the city, they headed north all the way to the capital.

Song Ren returned home like an arrow, and the rest of the people were like tigers just out of the cage. They just got off the battlefield, their blood was still wet, and they all looked like evil gods. Only twenty days later, we arrived near the outskirts of Beijing.

Fifty miles away from the capital, Song Ren ordered the three armies to set up camp, bury pots and cook food, rest for a while, and make a decision after ascertaining the situation in the capital.

Send out four sentry men and horses to inquire, and the rest will camp in place, and the gang leader will start cooking.Not long after the spies came back, everyone was eating while listening to the small school who explored the road talk about the situation in the city.

The small school reported: "There are no common people around the capital. We just hid in the dark and observed secretly during a meal. We saw that the four gates were closed, and there were 1000 guards on each side of the tower. There were more than ten cannons, and stones were thrown. There are three planes, and the crossbowman is lying in the dark, and it is impossible to find out how many there are..."

Before the spy finished speaking, many people behind Song Ju laughed out loud.

"That's just a small number of people? It's not even enough to plug the gap between the teeth. I was expecting to fight a quick battle, but now it seems that it's useless!"

The other one with a long face also said: "That's right, why do we need so many of us to do it together? It's so boring to kill a chicken with a sledgehammer!"

The person who just spoke smiled, and said: "Let Nie Pengcheng use all his efforts to disturb the enemy in Feng Kui's army all these years, give him three thousand soldiers and horses, and he can take over the city gate without a stick of incense!"

The generals couldn't help laughing when they heard the words, and they didn't pay attention to the solid city defense in front of them that had stood for more than two hundred years.

Don't blame them for their arrogance. Compared with Feng Kui's 50 troops in the past, these troops in Beijing are just like paper. With a big army, they can gnaw away even the bones.

After three years of experience, these soldiers are no longer what they were when they left Beijing. They lick blood on the battlefield every day. One by one, they have rolled out of copper skin and iron bones.In the eyes of Nie Pengcheng and others, these soldiers who have been stationed in Beijing for a long time and only know how to fight on paper, and have never actually fought on the battlefield, are as vulnerable as those children under ten years old.Letting them fight against these people is simply bullying.

The generals couldn't stop making fun of them, Song Ju hurriedly shouted to stop, he said coldly: "Siege of a city is no different than others, but victory is not guaranteed with a large number of people. Don't underestimate the enemy in a war. Before you start a war, speak out your wild words first. It has violated the taboo of military strategists!"

The generals were blushed by Song Ruan's words. They were impetuous just now, and they really had the idea of ​​underestimating the enemy. Now that they were scolded by Song Ruan, the generals hurriedly restrained their minds, not daring to show a trace of contempt.

Song Ren thought for a moment, then quickly asked Nie Pengcheng, "Madam Nie is still in Beijing?"

As soon as Nie Pengcheng heard this, he understood that Song Ju was afraid that his family members would stay in the capital, and if they were threatened, they would be controlled by others when attacking the city.

Nie Pengcheng pulled his chest out and laughed loudly: "Your Highness, you don't have to worry about the general. The general's daughter-in-law is three points more fierce than the general. With two lancets in hand, taking the head of a general in the three armies is like picking something out of a bag." Ordinary. Don’t bother her, it’s the good fortune of the First Prince and the others. Those who dare to break ground in front of my wife will let them come and go, and die without a place to die!”

Speaking of his own daughter-in-law, Nie Pengcheng really thought about it, and he urged Song Ren, "Your Highness, give the order to attack the city, and the general is willing to take the lead!"

Everyone made Nie Pengcheng laugh again. His words were full of praise for his wife, and his pride almost flowed out along with his words. It was clear at a glance that this lady of the Nie family usually Li must control her husband well.

With a tense smile, Song Ren said to the generals: "Anyone with family members in Beijing should stay at the rear. The rest of the people are divided into four groups, and the time is right to attack the city!"

All the generals took orders in unison, and after a hasty meal, they began to divide the troops and dispatched generals to approach the city gate quietly.Song Ren led Ruan Yunqing to attack the main entrance, and the rest of the people spread from the main entrance to the four corners. After surrounding the capital, Ruan Yunqing released a rocket and moved in all directions to encircle the capital.

The sun, moon and stars were sparse, and a round of bright moon hung in the sky, illuminating this ancient city as bright as day.There was a slight wind blowing from the sky, blowing on people, bringing a slight chill.

Song Bian and Ruan Yunqing led 1 horses each, and went to the dense forest outside the city. After waiting and waiting, it was almost time. With one rocket, 2 people rushed out and rushed to the capital.
