The general's wife is sick

Chapter 239 Doomed to be Sacrificial

In ancient times, due to geographical limitations, the phenomenon of beacons and orders during wars occurred. These limitations are easy to solve in modern times, but at that time it was as difficult as skyrocketing.

Xiong Feng's army was waiting in full force, but the Northwest Army had already moved early. The reason why Cheng Rulin dared to surround the capital was because he had the Queen Mother's order in his hand, and he used the reason of the bad street, Qing Jun's side!

However, Xiong Feng's army had not received an explicit edict from Emperor Xuande to dispatch troops, so he did not dare to act rashly.

Xiong Feng is a veteran of the imperial court. He has been stationed in the south for many years and has strong strength, so his every move is displayed under the noses of everyone, but the Northwest Army is different. Hearing the old man Liu's words, he still has doubts. In everyone's mind, Northwest has always been synonymous with poverty and weakness.

Long before the Empress Dowager's operation began, Emperor Xuande gave Xiong Jinghai a decree that he could dispatch troops and generals at any time in case of difficulties in the capital. This kind of emperor's favor has surpassed the ordinary favor of monarchs and ministers.

Emperor Xuande's trust made the Northwest Army move quickly. The soldiers had already appeared on the northern land more than a month ago. Cheng Rulin thought that he held the army in his hands, and encircling the capital was as easy as visiting the capital, but he didn't know that his every move had already been monitored. People take precautions in advance.

Everything was arranged in advance, and only then did Emperor Xuande feel as leisurely as an outing when he was trapped.

On the street, Prime Minister Zhao and King Rui's men were arresting people everywhere. Officials who did not belong to the prime minister's faction were all trembling. Xie Kun and Ma Menxi led people to help them resist and fight with the prime minister's men.

Mr. Zhang Lizhang was especially angry. He was protected in the mansion by the people sent by Xiong Jinghai, but this upright Mr. Shen was upright and clamored to go out and fight to the death with those rebellious officials and thieves!

Cheng Wu's mansion imprisoned King Rui's dead soldiers and his privately raised soldiers. When they were arrested, Ji Liu prepared a big meal for them in order to let them be arrested. Now that King Rui has rebelled, there is nothing wrong with keeping these people No, but what is Cheng Wu's background, what contradicts his appearance is his brutal behavior.

A long line of people with their hands bound knelt down on the street. Nie Xudong and Bian Cheng led their men and horses past the gate of his Cheng residence. Anyone would fall in love with such a person suddenly appearing on a sparsely populated street. Eye.

At this glance, the two recognized that this was their person, and it turned out that it was Cheng Wu who had been plotting against him behind his back!

The enemy was extremely jealous when they met, Cheng Wu was full of gangsters, squatting on the stone lion in front of his house, his face was immature, and his stature was short, so he squatted like a child.

But in front of Nie Xudong, he was almost the same as a devil. The long knife next to his hand slashed down from the air. In front of everyone, a bloody, hot ball rolled to the ground.

Cheng Wu lifted the knife, and the blood gathered on the knife and turned into round drops of blood dripping from the tip of the knife. Cheng Wu tilted his head slightly and raised the corners of his mouth. The young man's face looked safe and harmless, "It is my honor to let His Highness King Rui cultivate The manpower is as weak as a chick that has just hatched, His Royal Highness, you people are too much to be restrained."

"Come here!" Nie Xudong was furious. His people were killed once for no reason earlier, and now it's like this again. With the combination of old and new hatred, he has the heart to eat Cheng Wu raw.

Biancheng immediately stopped him, "My lord, the prime minister is still waiting for you outside the palace, there must be no delay!"

Nie Xudong's eyes were red, Bian Cheng grabbed his reins and tried to dissuade him again, "My lord, it's important to enter the palace!"

There was a shout of killing behind him, and Nie Xudong glanced back. It should be Xiong Jinghai's man. He grasped the rein and whip and threw it on the horse's buttocks, "Biancheng, bring this man's head!"

Biancheng drew out his long sword, and Cheng Wu even raised his sword to face each other. In an instant, the two groups of people fought together.

Concubine Rui is dressed in luxurious clothes, wearing a phoenix hairpin soaring into the sky. When King Rui rises, she will become a powerful queen in the future.

But before that, she needs to deal with someone, Jia Yuan!

Maybe there will be countless Yingying and Yanyan by King Rui's side in the future, but right now, the only thing making her unhappy is this low, lowly pair.

Jiayuan had entered Prince Rui's mansion many times, and he and King Rui were in love with each other here, but it was the first time he was escorted in.

"Let go of me, if King Rui finds out about how you treat me like this, he will definitely cut off your dog's heads!"

Picking up a high-ranking prince, and now this prince may leap to become the No.1 power in the world, Jia Yuan spoke with a bit of confidence, Princess Rui frowned, "Tell him to shut up!"

"Yes, Wangfei!" The servant shouted in response to a windy slap, and the corner of Jia Yuan's mouth bleed instantly.

Being slapped in the face, Jiayuan became more honest in an instant. He knew that now that King Rui was not here, he was in the hands of Princess Rui. As long as he behaved well and dragged King Rui back to his residence, he would be safe and sound.

But Princess Rui sent someone to capture him, so she never thought of letting him go out alive.

"You seduce the prince, you have no shame, and you still want to climb the dragon and the phoenix to reach the sky in one step?" Princess Rui raised her airs, as if she had changed into the queen's court dress and sat in the harem to accept the worship of the concubines.

"Back to the princess, Jia Yuan is just a small person, he didn't have such thoughts, and he is not worthy of the princess' anger." Jia Yuan knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head.

"Knowing that I am a small person, I shouldn't have so many fantasies. Killing your princess is too dirty, so let's take it out and deal with it."

A fluttering sentence decided Jiayuan's life and death.

Jiayuan's pupils dilated instantly, which was a sign of fear. He raised his head abruptly, "Princess, please give me a way to survive. I will leave now and never appear in front of the concubine and King Rui again."

He didn't expect Princess Rui to act so decisively that she would kill him with one word.

Princess Rui looked at him with her beautiful eyes, her eyes were cold and indifferent, as if looking at a dead person, "When you first seduced the prince, you should have thought that you would end up in this situation. If you don't die now, you will die in the future. Drag it out! "

The people were dragged out, and the mansion returned to calm again. Princess Rui looked carefully at her finger painted with bright red Koudan. This was the No.1 person she personally disposed of, but it would definitely not be the last one.

In the palace, Nie Xudong and Zhao Yongnian have joined, and the palace is now under the control of the Queen Mother. Their main purpose is to let Emperor Xuande write an edict of abdication.

But the edict of abdication has been prepared, but the jade seal is not known. The edict without the jade seal is just a scrap of paper. If King Rui wants to ascend the throne in a legitimate way, he must first know where the jade seal is.

Zhao Yongnian appeared outside the Shangqing Pavilion with Nie Xudong, and Nie Xudong said loudly, "Father, I send my respects to Father!"

From a distance, seeing someone escorting the Fifth and Seventh Princes approaching, Nie Xudong sneered, "Royal Father, Fifth and Seventh Brothers also greet you!"

Emperor Xuande's heart skipped a beat, he had already ordered people to send the fifth prince and the seventh prince out of the palace, how could King Rui find him?

After hearing no reply for a while, Nie Xudong personally explained to Emperor Xuande, "Father is far-sighted, planning a way out for the fifth and seventh younger brothers in advance. As the son of the father, I am very envious. They are all my own brothers. Fifth and seventh brothers It is even more unsafe for my younger brother to go out alone in such a critical moment, so this son-in-law took the initiative to bring them back, father will not blame son-in-law, right?"

Emperor Xuande's face was solemn and cold, and the guards were dressed in iron armor, and their crossbows were cold.

"How are you doing?"

Nie Xudong took a leisurely look at Zhao Yongnian, "I just want my father to tell you where Yuxi is."

"Don't think about it!"

"Tsk." Nie Xudong looked very embarrassed, "If that's the case, don't blame my father for disregarding brotherhood!"

Emperor Xuande's heart is cold, he has four sons in total, King Rui is the only king, Xiong Zhengli was raised in Guangyang mansion since he was a child, and his reputation is not right. Now that King Rui rebelled, he pinned all his hopes on the old Wu and Lao Qi.

It's not that the emperor is cold-hearted, but that these two children were captured by King Rui. According to King Rui's temper, even if he got the jade seal, these two children would not survive.

They were all witnesses of King Rui's rebellion, they had the same inheritance rights as King Rui, and they had witnessed his rebellion with their own eyes, King Rui would not let them leave alive.

Seeing Emperor Xuande's figure swaying slightly, Shen Lin hurried forward to support him, "Your Majesty!"

"I thought I did a good job, but I didn't expect that Lao Wu and Lao Qi were captured by him."

Shen Lin was silent, he also knew the current dilemma of Emperor Xuande, but if he opened the palace door at this time, everyone would die.

Nie Xudong's voice came from outside the hall again, "Father, the fifth and seventh are kneeling outside the hall now, as long as you are in the hall, they will be kneeling outside the hall for as long as you have. How can you let them be tortured like this?"

Nie Xudong glanced over, and the leading captain tapped the scabbard behind the knees of the two noble princes, and the two princes knelt down on the hard stone bricks with a plop.

"Father, you are old, and you have a bad memory. My son went to pay his respects to the Queen Mother and Queen Mother. I hope you have remembered the location of Yuxi when you come back."

Emperor Xuande gritted his teeth, concubine, Shuangjun, he never cared about any concubine in this palace, only sent his own children out of the palace, but now they are in the hands of King Rui.

"It's because I'm too conceited." Sitting on the chair supported by Shen Lin, Emperor Xuande's lost soul had already doomed the fate of the two princes.

Shen Lin felt a pain in his heart. Emperor Xuande didn't have many heirs, and there were only four adults including Xiong Zhengli. Xiong Zhengli had never been educated by a prince, and it was difficult to explain his birth to the world. There has never been a precedent of being a princess since ancient times. .

He empathized with the dilemma in Emperor Xuande's heart.

But at this moment, the Queen Mother and others are staring at the outside, once the door is opened, all the preparations in the early stage will be in vain, and according to Emperor Xuande's personality, he will never willingly give up the upcoming victory to others.

Having been ruled by the Queen Mother for many years, Emperor Xuande desperately needed this victory to get rid of the Queen Mother's shackles. He had been looking forward to this victory for so long that it had become the deepest obsession in his heart.
