Li Yuan rode his horse to the bottom of the city wall. He thought that the hanging basket was put down for him to go up. After all, this is how Yuan Chonghuan, the former governor of Yuan, went up. He was only a small general soldier, so how could he have the qualifications to surpass the former governor of Yuan?
Enter through the city gate.
But then he was dumbfounded. The city gate opened slowly, and the hanging basket was not put down. At that moment, he suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes, but the shouts of the soldiers on the city made him even more confused.
measures.
"General Li, there is someone below to take you into the city. Come in quickly and don't neglect it!"
"Take me into the city?"
Li Yuan became a little timid. He held the reins tightly and was hesitant about entering the Chaoyang Gate. When will King Qin's army enter the city and be greeted by others? Except for those who want to die and want to greet the army with a guard of honor, then
There is only one reason.
That's beheading!
Thinking of this, Li Yuan became even more frightened and did not dare to take a step forward. If it was as he thought, someone would arrest him once he entered the city and put him on some charge. Wouldn't this be asking for death?
Although I thought about the city saying that they would bring water and food to their soldiers, but thinking about it now, I suddenly felt that they were deliberately trying to make me relax my vigilance, and then they would catch me as soon as I stepped into the city.
Cold sweat turned into a few drops and fell down. Hesitating, he suddenly felt a little afraid of the capital who came to protect him. He thought that this was how Yuan Chonghuan, the former governor of Yuan, was arrested.
If His Majesty wants to punish him for any crime, he actually knows it very well.
It has been delayed to save the capital. Today is already the 20th, and it has been a week since His Majesty handed over the emergency document. It is said that Shanhaiguan, except for the common people, is mostly made up of cavalry. If some troops were ordered to arrive first, they could have arrived at least two days ago.
.
But they were two days late!
Although for some reason the intruders suddenly retreated, allowing him to lead 10,000 Guan Ning troops to the capital unimpeded, the charge of delaying rescue cannot be excluded.
So at this moment, is it very intrusive or incompetent?
If you enter, you may be arrested and die in the capital in the end. You will not only be sorry for yourself, but also the soldiers behind you; if you do not enter, then you are likely to be accused of rebellion!
Entering or not entering is a dead end!
Just when Li Yuan delayed entering the city and paused to think, Zhu Ling, who was leading the officials, also waited at the city gate for a long time. He was supposed to welcome General Li Yuan with joy, but who knew that such a long time had already passed.
, but there has been no sign of anyone.
Zhu Ling was puzzled, but did not show any irritation. However, most of the ministers behind him were already dissatisfied. His Majesty stood here waiting for him to come in. Unexpectedly, this man has not entered the city for a long time. What is he going to do?
Are you teasing His Majesty?
"Your Majesty, would you like me to send someone to urge you?" Seeing that Li Yuan had not entered the city, Li Ruolian also sensed the doubts of His Majesty and the ministers, so he stepped forward and asked in a low voice.
"No need, we are just entering a city, so as not to be thought that we are going to kill someone, we have to rush us into a city."
In order to win over the other party's heart, Zhu Ling made the ministers feel the care and concern from His Majesty immediately and did not care about waiting a little longer. However, the ministers behind him complained a lot about this.
When they encountered this situation, they wanted to go to the city immediately and pay homage to His Majesty, but Li Yuan was not in a hurry and even delayed the time. If this person was in front of them, they would be scolded by these civil servants.
Even if you don't dare to speak nonsense, an impeachment is still indispensable. On the contrary, the king of Qin, who traveled hundreds of miles away, failed to get a good deal, and was punished for this matter in the end, which is not worth the gain.
"Your Majesty, I think you should urge me. If Li Yuan doesn't come in, won't you be teased by him?" Wen Yao couldn't stand it anymore, and he couldn't wait any longer. Isn't this Li Yuan just a little kid?
A small general? He has such a big air?
"No, he doesn't know that you and I are waiting for him here. He must have gone to appease the soldiers, so there is no need to rush."
Zhu Ling simply closed his eyes. On the one hand, he felt that Li Yuan might not be able to come in for a while, and on the other hand, he didn't want to listen to the urging of these people behind him.
Seeing that His Majesty was still not in a hurry, Wen Yao had no choice but to retreat. The other ministers who wanted to come forward and speak all stopped.
After about a moment, Zhu Ling was tired of waiting. He had not had much rest in the past few days and he had been standing here for so long. In addition, he suffered from hypoglycemia. If Li Yuan didn't come in, he would faint first.
fall down.
After a while, the courtiers were probably crying and wailing loudly. If he pressed this on Li Yuan's head and was arrested, his wish to conquer Guan Ning's cavalry would be completely ruined.
Thinking of this, Zhu Ling no longer hesitated and immediately asked Li Ruolian to bring him a horse. Then he jumped and landed firmly on the horse. The horse may have felt that it was sitting on a body worth ten thousand gold, but it was not.
It was very obedient and let out a long cry.
"What a horse!"
Zhu Ling couldn't help but sigh that this horse had a very different feeling from ordinary horses.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Seeing Zhu Ling suddenly mount his horse, Fan Jingwen suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He hurriedly walked to the horse and raised his head to ask.
"Isn't this Li Yuan not coming in? Then I will go look for him! Let me see what this Guan Ning cavalry looks like!" Zhu Ling looked high-spirited while sitting on the horse. If he were not an emperor, he would be so handsome.
He is also a handsome young man.
"Your Majesty, you can't do this!"
After hearing this, Wang Chengen who was behind him hurriedly stepped forward to block Zhu Ling, and begged with a pained face: "Master, you are worth a thousand gold, you must not take risks alone!"
"Your Majesty, this is no joke!" Meng Zhaoxiang, who had always been calm and calm, also stood up and stepped forward to persuade him.
"Your Majesty, you are not only joking with your life, but also with the entire Ming Dynasty!" Fan Jingwen suddenly showed a little bit of toughness, stood directly in front of Zhu Ling, and complained loudly.
Even though he is over fifty years old, his momentum cannot be underestimated.
"I said, I just went out to meet Li Yuan and his Guan Ning cavalry, and do you think - Li Yuan will kill me?"
The corner of Zhu Ling's mouth curled up, seemingly smiling, but his eyes shone with a cold light.
"That's not what I meant." Fan Jingwen was stunned for a moment, then softened his tone and said with a slight bow.
"Then please don't stop me!"
Zhu Ling scolded, directly controlled the reins and rode the horse around the Fan Ge elders who were blocking the way, and then immediately whipped the horse and drove away outside the city. This scene immediately frightened the ministers behind him.
What's going on with His Majesty now? Why is he becoming more and more unruly?
The anxious ministers who stayed in place looked at His Majesty's retreating back and hated themselves for not stepping forward to stop him. They all stood there beating their chests and feet, blowing their beards and staring, anxious.
"Master Li, find me a horse too, and I will catch up with Your Majesty!" Meng Zhaoxiang was not like these literati who could only sigh and just talk but did not take any action. He immediately asked Li Ruolian for a horse.
"good!"
Although Li Ruolian was not Meng Zhaoxiang's subordinate, and the work of leading horses was usually only done by servants, he was also a person who understood the overall situation, so he naturally did not care about these things.
He quickly signed a horse and came over. Meng Zhaoxiang thanked him and immediately chased away.
At this time, Li Yuan was still waiting at the city gate. The water and food sent down from above were being distributed one after another, but he still didn't pay attention. The soldiers above didn't explain, so he kept worrying.
But suddenly, the sound of fast horse hooves was heard in the city, and he quickly noticed it. He looked nervously, but only one person came out.
Just as he was wondering, the man was gradually approaching. He stared at him, and the next second he was so frightened that he fell off his horse. He was at a loss and became a little panicked.
But this person said calmly: "General Li, this is your first time meeting me."
