Xi'an Gate is the west gate of the imperial city within the capital of the Ming Dynasty. It was built in the 15th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty. It has no city platform, the gate base is blue and white stone, and the red wall has a single eaves resting on the mountain and a yellow glazed tile roof. It is seven rooms wide and deep.
There are three rooms, the middle bright room and the left and right rooms are doors, each with a pair of red-painted gold-nailed door leaves; the left and right rooms and the last room are the duty rooms.
Among the gates in the imperial city, this gate is the only one that is not built on the city platform, that is, on the city wall. It is because of this that Sun Jizong decided to use this as a gap to break into the palace city. As long as the Xi'an Gate is captured, then
You can go straight to Xihua Gate through the sparsely visited royal gardens. Naturally, this road is the best choice.
Although Xi'an Gate does not have a city platform, which greatly reduces its defensive function, it is still an imperial city and is guarded by the soldiers of the Yulin Right Guards from the 26 Guards of Shangzhi. During this period,
After Zhu Qiyu fell ill, in addition to guarding against His Majesty the Supreme Emperor Zhu Qizhen, the security at the entrance to the capital, the imperial city, and the palace were also much tighter than before.
Therefore, in addition to the more than 300 Habayashi right guards on normal duty, there are also 200 elite members of the Fujun avant-garde. The Fujun avant-garde is a very special unit. It is also called the "Sword-wielding Saber", commonly known as Dai.
The Knife Guards, the emperor's personal bodyguards, were ordered by the cabinet and Zhu Qiyu's confidant eunuchs. Part of this elite force was also assigned to monitor the situation at the four gates of the imperial city and also to coordinate the guards.
meaning.
At this moment, the sound of galloping iron hooves, a long time away from Xi'an Gate, alerted the Yulin right guard and the soldiers of the Fu army's vanguard inside Xi'an Gate.
"What's going on? Just listening to the sound of hoofbeats, at least there are no less than a thousand knights. Who has the courage to lead such a large number of knights to run wildly in front of the imperial city? Uncle Fu Chang will wait a moment, and he will go and have a look.
, who dares to offend our drunkenness." Qianhu Linxing, the deputy of Yulin Right Guards, angrily took the wine cup in his hand and pointed at Uncle Fuchang who led two hundred guards with swords to guard Xi'an Gate.
Fang Kun smiled.
"No problem, let's go together." The Fuchang Bo Fangkun waved his hand with a smile, stood up, held the sword on his waist, and glanced at the few soldiers behind him intentionally or unintentionally.
Several soldiers nodded understandingly. Lin Xingfang, who was cursing, walked to the door of the duty room. Suddenly he felt wind in the back of his head. Before he could go back to check for any abnormality, he felt a blur in the back of his head. His dull eyes glanced at Shi Chong.
Zhang's face, which was smiling ferociously, turned black and lost consciousness.
"Let the brothers take action. The deputy of the Yulin Right Guards, Qianhu Linxing, acted boldly and with evil intentions. He has been captured by this general. All the soldiers of the Yulin Right Guards should disarm immediately, otherwise, they will be killed without mercy!" Looking at the people who have been used in the industry!
On the ground, Lin Xing was unconscious. Shi Chong's face suddenly turned cold and he shouted loudly.

In an instant, before the soldiers of the Habayashi Guards had time to react, the guards with swords who had seemed to be fighting with them immediately turned their faces and unsheathed their swords with cold light emanating from them.
, although the number of Habayashi's right guards is greater than that of these guards with swords, the problem is that the general has been captured and has been charged with such inexplicable crimes.
In addition, although he was in the same position as the 26th Guards Guards, he was the emperor's personal bodyguard, and the leader was a lord. Although he looked unhappy and unwilling, in the face of more than a dozen people who wanted to resist,
After the soldiers of the Habayashi Right Guards were killed on the spot, no one was willing to continue to resist, and abandoned their weapons angrily. Under the custody of the guards with swords, nearly 300 people were all herded in like chasing ducks.
They entered the booths on the left and right sides of Xi'an Gate, and the two booths were packed to the brim.
At this moment, Sun Jizong had already rushed to the gate of Xi'an. He saw Fuchang Bo Fangkun smiling and arching his hands towards him from a distance, and even saw the soldiers of Yu Lin's right guard being escorted to both sides.
After a while, I couldn't help but be overjoyed. I jumped off my horse, hurried a few steps, and bowed deeply to Uncle Fu Chang Fang Kun: "I didn't expect Uncle Fu Chang to be here to help me. Sun is really..."
"
"Haha, Marquis Wu An has already known about Yu Fang, but I didn't expect that an hour ago, Marquis Wu An sent someone a letter to Fang. Just after Fang finished his work, Uncle Guo actually
In response to the call." Fuchang Bo Fangkun's round face was full of smiles, and he returned the salute, then raised his head and looked behind Sun Jizong. After more than a thousand cavalry, there were also several
Thousands of soldiers and horses, which made him secretly smack his tongue. He didn't expect that this old guy was really willing to spend a lot of money.
Seemingly seeing the doubts of Fuchang Bo Fangkun, Sun Jizong took a step forward and whispered: "In addition to the servants of my old Sun family, there are more than two thousand who are the confidants of His Majesty the Emperor. As early as Yu Yu ago,
Already entered the city."
Hearing this, Fang Kun secretly took a breath and grinned. "His Majesty the Emperor is really foresighted. Okay, Xi'an Gate is now open and clear. Fang will not delay my uncle, please."
"So, thank you very much. There will be retribution in the future." Sun Jizong was not polite, and he cupped his hands towards Fang Kun. With a wave of his hand, the dead servants who had gathered around entered the Xi'an Gate with murderous intent and headed towards
Run towards the palace gate.
"Fang's life was saved by His Majesty the Emperor. I have been thinking about how to repay His Majesty the Emperor. Today, I finally have something to show for it." Looking at the influx of servants, dead soldiers, and the Emperor's personal troops,
Fang Kun supported the short beard under his chin and sighed with some emotion.
"Haha, okay, Sun will go in first. I'm afraid I'll have to ask Uncle Fu Chang to guard here, just in case." Sun Jizong smiled and then gave a solemn salute to Fang Kun and turned around.
He jumped on his mount and rode straight towards the Xi'an Gate.
Just after Sun Jizong, Wu'an Marquis Zheng Neng arrived with 500 troops. Song Gui, the Hou of Xining, Zhao Min, the Bo of Xincheng, and other nobles all led their troops to kill in front of Xi'an. When they heard that Sun Jizong actually got the upper hand, they couldn't help but
Gritting his teeth, he hit his horse and rushed towards the gate of Xi'an...
"Eunuch Cao?" Wang Xi, the Royal Horse Supervisor who was on duty at the Xihua Gate, heard the footsteps behind him. He looked back and saw Cao Jixiang in iron armor standing among dozens of vassal generals and Tengxiang.
He strode forward surrounded by guards, and he couldn't help but feel a little stunned.
"Haha, Eunuch Wang, is there nothing unusual here at Xihua Gate?" Cao Jixiang cupped his hands towards the supervisor and asked loudly with a gentle smile on his face.
"Don't worry. With our family here, nothing can happen here. But Eunuch Cao, why did you come here?" Wang Xi narrowed his eyes and looked at his immediate boss with an unkind expression.
Wang Xi is also an old friend of Zhu Qiyu when he was King of Yi. Although he is not as favored by Zhu Qiyu as Zhang Yong and others, he is still from his palace after all. In addition, this guy is Zhang Yong's godson.
, Therefore, after Zhang Yong became the eunuch of the Royal Horse Prison, Wang Xi naturally rose up and became the admiral eunuch of the Royal Horse Prison, which can be regarded as the third person.
It's a pity that he was too greedy by nature. Not long after he took office, he was busy making money, which led to trouble. If Zhang Yong hadn't tried his best to protect him in front of the emperor, he was demoted and retained. And he also stayed honest for a while. Originally, Zhang Yong
I thought I could return to the top three positions again, but who would have thought that this guy Cao Jixiang appeared out of nowhere.
Not only was his ability to flatter others better than his own, but he also had a lot of money. In the end, he could only watch helplessly as this guy took the position that originally belonged to him: the position of the Horsemaster and the Eunuch.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
This made Wang Ji angry, so he never gave Cao Jixiang a good look. Although Cao Jixiang wanted to deal with this incompetent guy several times due to his attitude towards him, he was worried that his godfather was
As for Zhang Yong, the eunuch who was Zhu Qiyu's first confidant, Cao Jixiang either tried his best to avoid him or simply ignored him.
But today, Cao Jixiang's attitude made Wang Xi a little surprised. Cao Jixiang, who was usually reluctant to meet him, waved his hand indifferently, seemingly not being irritated by Wang Xi's unreasonable rebuke.
Face explained sincerely: "Our family has been ordered by Eunuch Zhang to inspect every door to prevent any abnormalities."
"Humph, in that case, please take a look, Eunuch Cao. Although our family is not like Eunuch Cao, who has experienced leading troops abroad, we are still people who know the military. If there is any abnormality, is it possible that our family will not be able to handle it?"
Wang Xi snorted, raised his brows in displeasure and said sharply. He also specially held the waist knife by his waist, as if to make his round and fat body appear taller and more powerful. Unfortunately, standing there
In front of the burly and high-spirited Cao Jixiang, he looked like a chicken squatting next to a vicious dog.
"Why did the prince say this? Our family came here under orders. It had to be like this. Why should the prince be so upset?" Hearing this, Cao Jixiang laughed again, clasped his hands in front of his belly, and faced
The king said happily.
The dozens of Tengxiang guards seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to stand in front of the two heads and watch the show, so they all retreated and scattered around. However, the generals only took a few steps back, but they were still surrounded.
Around Cao Jixiang, he turned around from time to time and looked at Wang Xi and Cao Jixiang who had opened up their stance.
The soldiers of Wu Xiang's right guard who were vigilantly observing the situation around Xihua Gate quietly turned their attention to the two people who were arguing.
No one noticed that just inside the Xihua Gate, under the corner, more than a hundred Tengxiang guardsmen wearing helmets and armor, with swords unsheathed, were quietly walking along the wall, slowly towards the wall.
Approaching the Xihuamen gate.
Inside the gate, several Wuxiang guards who were responsible for staying below and watching over the gate had no idea what was happening above their heads. They were gathering together, talking and laughing in low voices.
But at this moment, someone on the top of the city finally realized something was wrong, and suddenly pointed at the passage between Xi'an Gate and Xihua Gate, and shouted loudly...
