Zhu Tianjiang felt a bit chilly all over. He was holding an official knife found among the dead in his hand, and holding the horse's reins tightly with one hand, as if the horse was bolder than him.
The horse's hooves kept retreating and snoring. Under the moonlight, Zhu Daguan finally saw clearly what made the horse so frightened. Fortunately, this was a war horse. If it were an ordinary civilian horse, it would have run away with all its hooves.
.
"Ah~!" Zhu Daguanren screamed in fright, and subconsciously reached out to touch his arms. To deal with such a ferocious beast, only thunderbolt bullets can kill it. But when Zhu Tianjiang touched it, his heart went cold to his heels.
Only then did he remember that all the thunderbolts were given to Zhu Yi, and he was thrown into the prison car without even taking any of them.
The tiger seemed to be frightened by Zhu Tianjiang's scream and did not pounce immediately. Taking this opportunity, Zhu Tianjiang hugged the horse's neck and jumped up. Or maybe it is said that horses have human nature, the war horse immediately neighed.
, spread his hooves and ran away.
The tiger howled and pounced towards him. Without saying a word, Zhu Tianjiang responded with a knife. Zhu Tianjiang was so strong with this knife that he even threw the knife. Not to mention, Zhu Daguan
It was not in vain for me to practice following Lin Feng, and this sword actually hit the target. Because of his slight resistance, the tiger's front paws should have slapped the horse's back, but in the end, it scratched the horse's butt with several bloody marks. Zhu Tianjiang
The knife hit the middle of the tiger's head. Although the knife was knocked away, the tiger's scalp was also exposed with white bones.
At this time, the tiger was anxious, and the horse was also anxious. The tiger roared and the horse neighed, and they chased each other in the mountains and forests. The injured horse could not outrun the tiger. It was about to fall into the tiger's mouth again. Zhu Tianjiang
When I looked up, there was a cliff in front of me. The horse jumped down without even stopping.
Zhu Daguan thought that it was over now, and he didn't know what era he would travel to again. Last time, he smashed a pig, but fortunately there was a horse following him this time, and he might become Ma Tianliang.
Plop~! Zhu Tianjiang did not expect that there was a river below. He did not cross it and did not fall to death. However, Zhu Daguan was so happy that he became sad. He was frightened and frightened by the water, and he fainted.
In the capital, once Emperor Chengwu left, all the civil and military officials arrived and were at ease. Prince Jing spent every day admiring flowers and fighting birds. Calculating the time, Emperor Chengwu could return to the capital in half a month, as long as the officials did not come.
If he is looking for trouble, Prince Jing is too lazy to take care of it.
Compared with the comfort of Prince Jing, the second prince Xuan Can's mansion is a different scene. In Xuan Can's study, a group of people are brewing an upcoming subversive storm.
Today, not only the Queen, Concubine E and the two princes are present, but also important figures from the Queen's Feng family and the E family are all present. Everyone in the study has a solemn expression. Everyone knows that this is a life and death contest.
If they win, the two major families can dominate the court. If they lose, they may be exterminated. However, the Feng and E families have no way out now. Xuan Ming has already taken action, and the people behind the scenes are the queen and the noble concubine. Even if the two families
If the family does not participate in this matter, according to Dafeng law, the nine clans will be implicated.
The queen glanced at everyone and said, "Don't worry, everyone. According to Xuan Ming's intelligence, even God is helping us. Zhou Yantian has restrained Wen Ruhai in the north. As long as we take the Guo family as hostages, Guo Tianxin will never dare to act rashly.
As long as the northern and southern camps remain motionless, the Dafeng Dynasty will have no opponent of Xuanming's troops. By the time Can'er becomes the king, no one will be able to turn the sky upside down."
"Queen, please don't act rashly against the Guo Mansion. In my opinion, we can only besiege the Guo Mansion and not offend it. In addition, if you want to succeed, the Nine Sect Admirals Chu Yun, Prince Jing and Li Hong must be controlled in advance. Otherwise, this will happen.
If these three people are here, there will be chaos in the capital." Oroqen, the father of Imperial Concubine E, said with his fists clasped.
Feng Gengnian, the father of the Queen, nodded, "Gong E is right, these three people must be put under house arrest in advance. Not only the three of them, but also the chief and deputy commanders of the Imperial Guard must be placed under arrest. If you don't move, that's it. If you move, you must stabilize the capital.
That’s all.”
Empress Feng Wanqiu couldn't help but nod her head in admiration. Jiang is still more powerful than ever. Oroqen and his father Feng Gengnian usually don't ask about government affairs, but they see it more clearly than anyone else at critical moments.
"Father, the Royal Guards and the Xiaoqi Camp will arrange for the direct relatives of the Feng and E families to take over. As for the Guo Mansion, I think it is better to ask Duke E to take action. After all, the Guo and E families are family friends, and Mrs. Guo may
Follow the advice." The queen said and looked at Oroqen.
"Your Majesty Oroqen will definitely do his job. However, it may be a bit difficult for the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to enter Beijing secretly." Oroqen stood up and said.
"It doesn't matter. According to the ancestral system, Xuanming can bring five hundred soldiers into the city. I will personally issue an order to summon Prince Jing and three people to come here to discuss matters. When the time comes, they will all be placed under house arrest and use Prince Jing's whip to mobilize troops into the city.
, more effective than military talismans." The queen had already thought of this, and Xuan Ming's five hundred soldiers were secretly stationed in Xuan Can's mansion.
The queen and others were formulating a secret plan, but at this time the third prince Xuan Le was restless. According to the secret report from the informant, the queen, concubine and others, as well as the two major families of Feng E, gathered at the residence of the second prince Xuan Can this morning. The shrewd ones
The more Xuan Le thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. These people gathered together were almost the core strength of the Queen. He didn't know whether Zhu Tianjiang could turn the tide and save Dafeng's fate. But based on the calculation of time, Xuan Le felt that Beijing
The army that picks up people from the suburbs should take action.
Xuan Le was unsettled. The only thing he could do at this time was to go to Lin Feng to discuss the matter. But Lin Feng was helpless about the matter. He had neither military power nor authority. Besides, Zhu Tianjiang didn't reply, nor did anyone.
It's easy to say that Emperor Wu is out of trouble.
"Senior Lin, if we don't think of a solution to this matter, I'm afraid the Dafeng Dynasty will be in danger." Xuan Le looked at Lin Feng anxiously.
"Your Highness, there is no basis for this matter. Even if I go to Prince Jing, I'm afraid it won't help. If Xuanming's army really dares to assassinate the emperor, I believe Tianxiang will find a way to protect Emperor Chengwu's safety. All we can do now is wait.
News. I believe that as long as someone takes action over there, the news will be delivered immediately."
Lin Feng is very confident in the information network built by Zhu Tianjiang. Even if he rushes for eight hundred miles, he may not be able to arrive as quickly as the message stations set up by Zhu Er in various places. Moreover, there are people from Sticky Post following him. As long as the emperor has
Difficult, Mu Qi would immediately go to King Jing to convey Emperor Wu's oral instructions. However, this time Lin Feng did not expect that neither Wei Zhan nor Zhu Tianjiang would be able to deliver the news in time. On the contrary, Xuan Ming received the news from Huo Zhenshan in advance.
"Senior Lin, Xuan Le estimated that the queen and the others would have to take a two-pronged approach, assassinating the father and taking control of the capital at the same time. In that way, even if the assassination fails, they can still hold the power of the capital in their hands. By then, I am afraid that the world will be in chaos again.
It's a big mess." Xuan Le said with a frown.
"It doesn't matter, Xuanming only has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing. Don't forget that there are more than 20,000 officers and soldiers of the Admiral's Mansion in the capital. Even if it can't withstand it, the northern camp will arrive in a few days after receiving the news."
Lin Feng has always been shrewd, but at this time he was trapped by his "old experience". He felt that Xuanming did not dare to raise an army to rebel, unless Emperor Chengwu was really assassinated, the queen might dare to take the opportunity to seize power.
Xuan Le returned to the mansion in desperation. Not long after returning, Xuan Le immediately received another shocking news. The Queen issued an edict and summoned three important ministers of King Jing, Chu Yun and Li Hong, to Xuan Can's mansion to discuss matters. The person responsible for surveillance witnessed it with his own eyes.
Prince Jing and the others entered Xuan Can's mansion. Xuan Le was shocked. It would definitely be bad for the Queen to summon Prince Jing and the trio at this moment.
"When someone comes, please notify everyone in Nanyuan immediately. They will immediately disperse to secret strongholds in the city and wait for my order. Tell the people in the mansion that no matter who asks me, tell them that my highness has gone out of the city to hunt."
After Xuan Le arranged everyone, he rushed to Zhu's Mansion again with a few cronies. After listening to Xuan Le's story, Lin Feng also felt that this matter was a bit strange. Although the queen had the right to call, the place of discussion was not in the palace but in Xuan Can's house.
Mansion, this made Lin Feng also suspicious.
"Your Highness, it seems that you are right to worry. If the Queen controls King Jing and Chu Yun, the capital will be in danger." Lin Feng also started to worry.
"Senior Lin, Xuan Ming is a small-minded person. Once the capital is controlled by him, the Zhu Mansion will be the first to suffer. I'm afraid that Uncle Jing is in danger now. We can only evacuate the capital first, or hide in secret and wait.
My father's return." Xuan Le said hurriedly.
Lin Feng thought for a while and felt that what Xuan Le said made sense. He was not afraid at all. Even if a large camp on the outskirts of Beijing besieged Zhu's mansion, Lin Feng could rush out. But there were still many Zhu Tianjiang's cronies in Zhu's mansion.
There is even a whole set of Hong family members living here and they must be moved out immediately.
"Come here, notify the Hong family class and the guards in the mansion to assemble immediately." Lin Feng made a quick decision and immediately began to gather people.
Most of the gold and silver treasures in Zhu Tianjiang's mansion were buried, so Lin Feng was not afraid that Xuan Ming would burn down the mansion.
"Senior Lin, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to hide so many people in the capital. The only way out of the city is to go." Xuan Le couldn't help but worry when he saw that Lin Feng still wanted to greet so many people.
"You don't have to leave the city. There is a place that Queen Liang doesn't dare to harass."
Xuan Le was startled, "What are you talking about?" Xuan Le didn't understand what Lin Feng was talking about. The Queen dared to kill Emperor Cheng Wu, so where else in the capital is safe?
"General's Mansion! That's the safest place at the moment. No matter how ambitious the Queen is, she dare not touch any plant or tree in the General's Mansion. Otherwise, even if Guo Tianxin gives up guarding Southern Xinjiang, he will lead the troops from the Southern Xinjiang camp to kill him.
.”
After Lin Feng finished speaking, Xuan Le suddenly realized how he had forgotten Mrs. Guo for so many days. Even though the old lady was a womanizer, no one in the capital dared to disturb the old lady's retreat.
The guards of the Zhu Mansion led the Hong family class to pack up Xinruan and immediately rushed to the General's Mansion. Not only them, but also Lin Feng and Xuan Le also came to the Guo Mansion.
The housekeeper of the Guo Mansion didn't understand what was going on, and wondered why all the people from the Zhu Mansion had come here as if they were fleeing the famine.
"Grandpa Lin, what are you doing?" Guo Ying, who was in the front yard, looked at the panicked crowd and looked at Lin Feng strangely.
"Girl Ying, don't ask so many questions. Go and settle down the Hong family class. Tell the guards in the mansion to close the door and no one is allowed to enter." Lin Feng gave the order and led Xuan Le straight to the backyard.
During this period, Guo Ying and Hong Xiaoqing got to know each other very well. Seeing Lin Feng's serious look, Guo Ying knew that something important might have happened, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions and hurriedly went to settle the people in the Hong family class.
In the backyard, Mrs. Guo frowned and listened to Xuan Le's analysis. The oldest Mrs. Guo in the Guo family was extremely shocked.
"Lin Feng, has there been any news about the child from Tianxiang?" Mrs. Guo looked at Lin Feng eagerly.
"No! Ordinarily Tiansheng should give me a reply after receiving the urgent message I sent him." Lin Feng said doubtfully.
As the three people in the room were talking, they saw the housekeeper of the house hurried in and fell to his knees on the ground.
"Old madam, what's wrong, the Queen has just issued an imperial edict. Say, say, say!" The housekeeper shouted "Say" three times in a row, but his lips were trembling and he didn't say anything.
"What's going on? Don't be anxious!" Mrs. Guo asked calmly.
"Outside, there are people posting notices all over the city, saying that Zhu Tianjiang plotted a rebellion and assassinated the emperor in the small town of Yujiaping!" The housekeeper suppressed his face and turned red, and finally said the complete words.
The three people in the room suddenly stood up in shock. At the door, Guo Ying, who was about to come in, held her hand on the doorpost and turned pale.
"You~ are you saying that the queen announced her decree and said that Zhu Tianjiang assassinated the emperor?" Mrs. Guo asked tremblingly.
"Old lady, that's exactly what the notice said!" the housekeeper replied quickly with a sad face.
When Guo Ying heard this, she rolled her eyes and fainted.
