The Regent makes me unstoppable [Transmigration Book]

The atmosphere in the yard was dignified, and no one dared to make too much noise. They even held their breaths, and it was so quiet that only the chirping of insects in the grass could be heard.

Suddenly, someone seemed to have a premonition, and immediately lay down with his ears on the ground and listened intently for a while, then he got up and said firmly: "Someone is coming from the southwest! There are about five or sixty people, all riding horses! It's about 60 meters away from here." Five miles."

The guards in the yard immediately put Shen Ying in the middle, with solemn expressions, ready to fight.

"Didn't you say there were only twenty people? Why is the number doubled now? Master Lin was ambushed by them, right?"

"Whether the visitor is an enemy or a friend is unknown for the time being, or we should escort the emperor away first, and it will be too late if we leave!"

The situation is urgent, it can be described as a close call, although Shen Ying has a strong premonition in his heart that the arrival may be the reinforcements brought back by Gu Min, but even if there is a 90.00% chance that they are reinforcements, he can't afford to bet on the remaining [-]%. Because in this game of chess, as long as he makes a wrong move, he will lose the whole game.

So Shen Ying, under the protection of the guards, immediately rode out of Cuijiazhuang, leaving only one person to investigate the situation. It was agreed that if the visitor was a friend or not an enemy, he would send a signal, and Shen Ying and the others would return. If there was no signal, they would explain The people who came were not friends but enemies, so Shen Ying and the others could go as far as they could.

A group of people galloped out on horseback, afraid of being chased by the people behind, they never stopped waving the whips in their hands, and didn't even have the time to look back.

They didn't know how far they had gone after leaving Cuijiazhuang, when they suddenly heard a faint scream of fireworks exploding behind them, everyone tightened the reins and stopped in unison.

"Did you all hear that? Was that signal sound just now?"

"seems like it!"

"Really reinforcements?"

"It's all signaled, it shouldn't be wrong."

The guards looked at Shen Ying in unison, and asked Shen Ying's meaning with their eyes. Shen Ying thought about it, turned the horse's head decisively, flicked the whip, and said in a deep voice, "Go back!"

When they returned to Cuijiazhuang, they could see that there was already a fire in front of Cuijiazhuang's gate from a distance. Dozens of people held torches, illuminating the open space in front of the gate as bright as day.

Suddenly a guard exclaimed: "It's my own! I seem to have seen Mr. Lin!"

"Look! Is that the general?" Another guard shouted happily, "It's the general! The general is here!"

Shen Ying took a closer look at the brightest part of the fire. The two people standing in front were indeed Lin Zhenyue and Lin Fan. That's right, she narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, and looked around the crowd, but she couldn't find the figure he was most familiar with. , It was obviously the time to be exciting, but he couldn't help feeling an inexplicable loss in his heart.

Back at the gate of Cuijiazhuang, before Shen Ying had time to get off his horse, Lin Zhenyue led everyone to kneel down and salute him: "I respectfully invite the emperor to bow to Jin An!"

Shen Ying got off her horse and walked over quickly to help Lin Zhenyue herself to show her kindness, and then said: "I'm safe, everyone is safe. Uncle Gu, why are you here?"

Lin Zhenyue said: "The emperor doesn't know something. I received a letter from Gu Shaojun yesterday. In the letter, Gu Shaojun said that he had successfully transferred [-] elite soldiers from the military battalion. I was worried that the emperor would not have any generals available, so I asked my minister to go with the soldiers from the fifth military battalion. Come and meet the Holy Majesty."

Shen Ying was overjoyed: "You said that Jun Shu went to the Fifth Army Battalion to transfer troops successfully?"

Next to Lin Zhenyue, a man in red armor stepped forward, bowed to Shen Ying and said, "Dou Xianyong, Deputy General of the Right Army of the Fifth Army Battalion, participated in the Holy Majesty! The last general was ordered by the right general Zhang Fu to lead the [-] elite soldiers of the Army Battalion to escort the king first! "

Lin Zhenyue explained: "Your Majesty, the [-] soldiers and horses of the Fifth Army Battalion have camped twenty miles to the west, waiting for the emperor's orders at any time."

Shen Ying nodded, he was concerned about Gu Min's whereabouts, and asked urgently: "Since Jun Shu has been transferred to the Fifth Army Battalion, where is he now, why don't you see him coming back with you?"

Lin Zhenyue said: "Gu Shaojun asked his ministers to come to Cuijiazhuang with General Dou to look for the emperor, and he went to Shenji Camp alone to transfer troops. Gu Shaojun said in the letter that there are more than [-] defenders in the capital. If he can successfully persuade When the Shenji Battalion sends troops, they will lead the Shenji Battalion to attack the east gate of the capital with artillery, and the ministers will lead the five army battalions to attack the west gate. The circling of the army can make the enemy exhausted, and when the three gates are broken one by one, the rebels in the capital will be wiped out in one fell swoop!"

Shen Ying nodded happily and said: "This plan is very clever. Gu Anbo has led troops for many years and used them like a god, so I will hand over the [-] soldiers and horses from the Fifth Army Battalion to you to dispatch, and you will take full command of the counterattack against the capital! "

Lin Zhenyue cupped his hands and bowed, and said: "I will live up to the trust of the emperor! The emperor is the son of the real dragon, with great blessings equal to the heavens. I believe that this battle will be won, and we will bring order out of chaos for the general, and weed out traitors for the emperor!"

Shen Ying raised her hands high, glanced at everyone's faces, and said loudly: "Okay! You are all my loyal ministers and generals, and I will never forget your utter loyalty to me. There is no good wine anywhere to send you off to the battle, and on the day of victory, when I return to the capital, I will serve you wine to reward you for your merits!"

Everyone fell to their knees and said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty! May my emperor live long and live long!"

After Lin Zhenyue paid his respects to Shen Ying, he took the other members of the Fifth Army Battalion back that night to join the army and prepare for the siege. Although Shen Ying wanted to ask Dou Xianyong how Gu Min persuaded the right general Zhang Fu of the Fifth Army Battalion to send troops to King Qin, but the battle It was imminent, and this was not the time to ask these questions, so he could only suppress the anxiety in his heart and wait and see what happened.

However, he believed that since Gu Min was able to invite the soldiers and horses of the Fifth Army Battalion, there should be no danger in going to the Shenji Camp, but he was a little upset that Gu Min hadn't passed a single word to him for so many days, if it wasn't for Lin Zhenyue I came to see you that night and told Shen Ying about Gu Min's plan. He didn't know how long he would have to worry about it. Was it obvious that the person surnamed Gu was deliberately making him anxious?

Forget it, since Gu Min has indeed made great contributions this time, I will not argue with him for the time being, but I can use this as an excuse to bargain with Gu Min and subtract his two days of bedtime.

Shen Ying has already set up the chess game, and the rest is for Gu Min and Lin Zhenyue to attack the city and fight. He doesn't know the art of war, and he doesn't know how to wield a sword, so he can't help you in fighting. Just stay in Cuijiazhuang and wait for news from the front line.

However, he also thought about a problem, if Du Qianren's party stubbornly resisted and refused to open the city to surrender, then there would be heavy casualties inside and outside the capital, and innocent people would inevitably be affected, or maybe Du Qianren was just determined to eat the weight. If a fire burns the capital to death, then where will he, the emperor, live in the future?

Since ancient times, the best strategy for using troops is to subdue the enemy without fighting. Therefore, Shen Ying had already ambushed a dark move. Didn't Du Qianren know how to draw from the bottom of the pot?Then he will treat his body in his own way.

—

Capital, Du Mansion.

The spies Du Qianren sent out to keep an eye on the movements of the soldiers and horses from all walks of life hurriedly came back to report, saying that both the Fifth Army Battalion and the Shenji Battalion had sent [-] soldiers and horses, and the troops came straight to the capital from east and west directions.

Du Qianren was shocked when he heard the news. The two camps originally held a neutral attitude towards the conflict between the two parties. Why did they suddenly join the Empress Dowager Liu?

It shouldn't be, Empress Dowager Liu doesn't have a single puppet of the Shen family who can support her, so what can she use to make the Fifth Army Battalion and the Shenji Battalion, the two capitals directly under the royal family, work for her?

The spies also said that Du Qianren didn't believe it even more when they found out that these two battalions were ordered by the emperor to send troops.It must be that empress dowager Liu who falsely preached the imperial decree and deceived the generals of the two camps!

Du Qianren was aware of the seriousness of the situation. Originally, he heard that Guo Jiuchen would lead [-] Lin family troops to counterattack the capital, but he didn't take it seriously. There are more than [-] guards in the city, and the defense of the capital is strong. The location is favorable and the people are harmonious, so why should the [-] Lin family troops be afraid?

But if the soldiers from the Fifth Army Battalion and the Shenji Battalion are added, his chances of winning will be greatly reduced, especially the Shenji Battalion in charge of firearms. The red cannons are extremely powerful. I can raze you to the ground!

Du Qianren immediately sent his cronies out of the city to negotiate with the two camps. Xu Yizhongli wanted to persuade the two camps to defect, but there was no news after the cronies were sent out, and the three armies were about to approach the city.

Guo Jiuchen was naturally very surprised when he heard that the two battalions sent troops suddenly. He sent spies out to inquire, but he also found out that the two battalions claimed to have sent troops to suppress the rebellion under the order of the emperor, and the commander of the fifth battalion of [-] troops was Gu'an Bolin Zhenyue. !

As soon as Guo Jiuchen heard Lin Zhenyue's name, he keenly felt that something was wrong. Sure enough, the night he led the Lin family army to the northern suburbs of the capital, an assassin came to his camp to assassinate him.

Guo Jiuchen was slashed on the shoulder by an assassin in a panic. Fortunately, he had his cronies desperately protecting him, so he avoided the bad luck of being killed on the spot. Shanxing Palace reported to Empress Dowager Liu.

Since then, the three armies have come under the emperor's command, surrounded by three legs, and the capital has become an isolated island isolated from the rest of the world.

In order not to bring harm to the innocent people in the city, and to avoid the spread of war, Lin Zhenyue gave Du Qianren a one-day deadline, and advised him not to fight with trapped beasts, but to open the city and surrender. If Du Qianren did not surrender after one day, he would attack the city again.

But Du Qianren has been planning for so long, seeing that the victory is in sight but has failed, how can he just admit defeat like this, naturally he refuses to surrender, and wants to use the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city to make a final desperate fight.

The three armies are coming fiercely, completely crushing the defenders in the capital in terms of strength, not to mention that the capital is surrounded on three sides and lacks supplies. After a long time, the city will run out of ammunition and food sooner or later, and the city will be destroyed only sooner or later.

But Du Qianren thought of a poisonous plan. He ordered the soldiers to arrest the common people and officials and family members in the city, and tie them to the tower. If outsiders wanted to attack the city, they would definitely hurt innocent people.

Facing the unarmed civilians, the lethal red cannons of the Shenji Battalion suddenly became a display.

The attack of the Shenji Battalion was blocked at the east gate, and the offensives at the west and north gates were not optimistic. In ancient times, sieges were nothing more than means of archery, fire and stone throwing, but these methods would inevitably hurt the people on the tower, and these Among the common people, there were many relatives of the soldiers who attacked the city. When facing their relatives, the soldiers naturally couldn't do anything.

On the first day of the siege, the three armies' offensives at the three city gates were frustrated at the same time, and the morale of the army was inevitably low.

Du Qianren couldn't help being elated when he succeeded in his treacherous scheme. The hundreds of thousands of people in the city were his way to win. The outside attacking the city was after all the army of Daying. His compatriots start?

And he has already sent people out of the city to seek help from King Yong and other vassal kings. As long as he holds on for a few days and waits for the reinforcements to come to rescue him, he will be able to turn the situation around and turn defeat into victory!

But Du Qianren didn't expect that, just when he thought he could sit back and relax by using innocent people as a shield, that night, he was discussing important matters with his staff in his mansion, when he suddenly heard several shocking loud noises coming from outside!

Du Qianren hurriedly sent his servants out to check what was going on, and after a while, the servants came back, but they brought Du Qianren a piece of news that made him despair, that all the places in the capital where grain and grass were stored were blown up by someone!

After hearing this, Du Qianren's eyes went dark, and he almost fainted. Originally, the grain and grass in the capital could last him at least half a month. Now, once the grain and grass run out, it's all over!

However, he thought that the people in Beijing should still have food in their homes, so Du Qianren immediately ordered people to lead soldiers to go door-to-door to grab food from the people's homes.

But the burning of food and grass is not the worst news. Just as Du Qianren was having a headache outside the palace, how to solve the food problem. At the same time, Concubine Feng in the palace discovered that her precious son Shen Han had been kidnapped in her own palace. disappeared!

The person who kidnapped Shen Han left a note to Concubine Feng, which said that if Kaesong surrendered, King Qi would be safe. If she still refused to surrender after two days, she would only see King Qi's body.

Concubine Feng collapsed instantly after seeing the note. She did so much and took such big risks to help her son pave the way, but if Shen Han died, then everything she did would be for naught. What kind of emperor, What a queen mother, it's all meaningless!

The only one who was able to kidnap the emperor silently in the palace under the eyes of so many people was Ling Qingheng who had lived in the palace for a few months and was already very familiar with the palace.

Ling Qingheng received a secret order from Shen Ying two days ago, ordering him to try to kidnap King Qi after the Lin family army began to attack the city.

After King Qi ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Concubine Feng couldn't wait to help her son move into the Yongle Palace where the emperors of all dynasties lived, but she never dreamed that there would be a secret passage leading to the outside of the palace under the dragon bed of Yongle Palace.

This secret passage was originally built to prevent people from forcing the palace, and was used by successive emperors of Daying to escape. Ling Qingheng learned the location of this secret passage from Shen Ying's secret order, so he entered Yongle Palace through the secret passage, taking advantage of the When Wang was still sleeping soundly on the dragon bed, he kidnapped him without anyone noticing.

Ordering Cui Jin to burn the food and grass, and Ling Qingheng to tie King Qi, these two moves were all plans Shen Ying had planned long ago.

Without food and grass, and without the puppet emperor, Du Qianren is really at the end of his rope this time.

As soon as King Qi disappeared, Concubine Feng was only focused on saving her son. She didn't dare to tell Du Qianren about it, because she knew in her heart that since King Qi had fallen into the hands of others, it was of no use to Du Qianren. It is absolutely impossible to surrender in Kaesong to save her son.

But if Du Qianren doesn't surrender, her precious son will die when the time comes!

Concubine Feng's nephew is the commander of the garrison at the West City Gate. She immediately sent a letter to her nephew, asking him to open the city and surrender immediately in exchange for King Qi's safety.

Du Qianren, who was still busy collecting food and grass in the mansion, had a headache, never dreamed that his ally Feng Taifei would give him a backstab at a critical moment!

By the time Du Qianren reacted, Lin Zhenyue had already led [-] elite soldiers from the Fifth Army Battalion into the capital from the west gate!

—

Shen Ying was reading a book in his room last night, and saw the candles on the table crackling non-stop, and the wicks formed a series of lights. When he got up in the morning, he heard two magpies on a tree in his yard. If you hear the twittering from above, you know that something good is coming.

Sure enough, before noon, Lin Fan came to report to him, saying that the army led by Lin Zhenyue had successfully invaded the capital, captured all of Du Qianren's party, and was waiting for the emperor to return to the capital, and the guard of honor to welcome the emperor back to the capital was already on the way. They can return to Beijing today.

An hour later, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites led the ministers and the emperor.When they arrived at the gate of Cuijiazhuang with the guard of honor, they all knelt down on the ground when they saw Shen Ying coming out, kowtowed and said: "I'm waiting for the rescue to come too late, I deserve death!"

Shen Ying smiled lightly and said: "Du Qianren and King Qi committed trouble, and all the ministers in Beijing also suffered from it. I am lucky to have the day when you and your ministers will see each other again. What is the crime of the ministers? Everyone is safe. It's fine."

"The emperor is wise!" The Minister of Rites, holding the dragon robe and dragon crown, knelt down in front of Shen Ying, "Please change the emperor's clothes and return to Beijing to preside over the overall situation!"

Shen Ying stretched out his hand and stroked the ornate dragon robe twice. In the past few days in Cuijiazhuang, he was almost used to the daily coarse linen clothes and simple tea and light food. When he was wearing the clothes of supreme power, he really felt as if he had passed away.

However, Cuijiazhuang is not a paradise suitable for seclusion after all. The chaos in the capital is still uncertain, and it is time for him to go back to fulfill his obligations as the king of a country.

Two palace servants held the dragon robes and went in with Shen Ying to help him change. When Shen Ying changed into a crimson gauze robe and wore a leather hat and walked out, the one who appeared in front of the courtiers was a dignified, The handsome young emperor.

The former emperor had a reputation for absurdity. Although he had a good appearance, others would only think that he was an embroidered pillow with a strong exterior but a lack of demeanor that a king should have.

But the current emperor, although he has not yet returned to the capital and is in control of the power, has already exuded a majesty of self-importance, making people dare not look directly at Longyan, and a sense of surrender spontaneously arises in his heart.

The ministers present, just haven't seen Shen Ying for a few months, have already noticed that their emperor is very different from before, and he is no longer the one who has to obey the Queen Mother Liu in everything. His puppet seems to be a king of a country who has the courage and strategy not to lose to the emperors of the previous generations!

Indeed, today's Shen Ying is not oppressed by Empress Dowager Liu at the top, and is not coerced by powerful ministers and eunuchs such as Guo Jiuchen and Du Qianren at the bottom. For the rain!

With his hands behind his back, Shen Ying sat on the dragon chariot under the admiring eyes of all the officials. He lowered his head and straightened the knees on his legs, and said three words in a casual but dignified way, "Go back to the palace."

A eunuch immediately read aloud: "The emperor got up and drove back to the palace!"

All the ministers saluted neatly behind the dragon chariot: "The ministers are waiting to welcome the emperor back to Luan!"

The day Shen Ying returned to the palace was August [-]th in the third year of Jingchang.

He sat high on the dragon chariot that needed sixteen people to lift it up, and watched the scenery along the way from the suburbs of Beijing to the capital. Behind him was a mile-long imperial palace.With the guard of honor, along the way, no one can become an obstacle to his reaching the peak of power, and no one can stop him from realizing his ambition.

He understood that the era that truly belonged to the Jingchang Dynasty had come.

The emperor's royal driver finally returned to the capital city where he had been away for several months. It was different from the prosperous scene when Shen Ying left. Weeping and crying, a sad scene of dilapidation.

Throughout the ages, there have been very few bloodless coups. The road to power is difficult and dangerous. It is not known how much blood will be shed and how many lives will be sacrificed along the way.

When Shen Ying was planning the overall situation, he knew that the necessary sacrifices were inevitable, but when he came back and saw so many people whose families were ruined due to this rebellion, he was still greatly touched, and he couldn't help feeling a little self-blame in his heart.

Shen Ying couldn't bear to see the tragic situation in the capital, so she lowered the curtain and said to the people accompanying her, "Go back to the palace first."

"The emperor may not be able to return to the palace for a while!"

Suddenly there was a horse neighing outside the dragon chariot, as if someone had stopped in front of the guard of honor.

After Shen Ying heard what the man said, she frowned dissatisfiedly. She wanted to reprimand "who is so bold to stop Yu Jia", but when she recognized who the voice was, she fell silent for a moment and her heart beat violently. It became violent - it was him!

Shen Ying took a few deep breaths in the sedan chair to stabilize her mind, and then opened the curtain in front, raised her eyes to look forward, and saw Gu Min, who was riding high on a pure white horse and wearing a silver-white armor.

I haven't seen him for a few days, but Gu Min's image looks a bit rough, his beard hasn't been shaved for a few days, and the cyan stubble is clearly visible on his chin. The current Gu Min looks nothing like the word "gentleman". It doesn't matter, but it also adds a bit of the charm of a mature man, and there are bloodstains on the armor, but it doesn't make people think he is sloppy, but a bit uninhibited.

Under the sun's rays, the armor on Gu Min's body reflected light, making him look dazzling and eye-catching.

Shen Ying raised her eyebrows strangely, "Why can't I go back to the palace?"

Gu Min said in a brisk voice: "Your Majesty doesn't know something. Concubine Feng suddenly went crazy and set a fire in the palace, and several palaces were on fire. The palace is now in a mess because of the fire. For the sake of the emperor For the sake of your own safety, I advise the emperor not to return to the palace."

Shen Ying: "...if I can't go back to the palace, where will I stay at night?"

Gu Min smiled slightly, showing a mouthful of neat white teeth, "The Marquis of Linyang, which the emperor bestowed on the minister, is nearby. If the emperor doesn't dislike it, how about asking the emperor to honor him and move to the humble house for a few days?"
