Chapter 1,059 There has been collusion for a long time
Important events continued in the capital, but the palace doors were still locked. No matter how the ministers tried to persuade them, the small yellow gate blocked at the door showed no intention of wavering except for smiling bitterly.
The imperial guards on the tower faithfully carried out the emperor's orders, and they would not let anyone in.
It was at this time that another chaos broke out in the inner gate. Wen Kong killed Tao Yuanlang and seized the crucial command. Then he opened the palace gate and prepared to welcome the ministers from outside into the palace.
It was at this time that Xia Zhang, who had just been dancing under the city tower, actually gathered a large team, and people from the East Factory gathered around in groups.
"Eunuch Xia, what are you doing?" Wen Kongheng led the imperial army to open the inner palace door, and then was blocked by the people from Dongchang.
"What a loyal and dedicated Commander-in-Chief Wen," Xia Zhang said through gritted teeth, "Wen Kongheng! You are deceiving me and ignoring your superiors! Now that the evidence is conclusive, what else can you say?"
Wen Kongheng said coldly: "What do you mean, father-in-law?"
"Stop pretending to be stupid for this governor!" Xia Zhang said angrily: "His Majesty has a decree, and he ordered you to guard the south gate of the imperial city! But you came here against the decree. This is not deceiving the emperor! Come on, take it!"
The fans in Dongchang are different from the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army. They only take orders from Xia Zhang. Now that the governor has spoken, they will hit no matter who is the son or grandson of the dragon here, not to mention the commander of the Forbidden Army opposite.
"Bold! How can the emperor's land of Longting allow you to be so presumptuous!"
Wen Kongheng's eyes widened, and he pushed forward with both palms. The overbearing force of his palms directly knocked back the three or five Dongchang guards who rushed forward.
Wen Kongheng directly grabbed the sword of a forbidden soldier beside him, pointed at the people in the Dongchang in front and shouted loudly: "Xia Zhang has evil intentions, no one from the Dongchang can be spared! Kill!"
If anyone else were here, the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army might really hesitate, but it was different in Dongchang. Although they were both on duty in the palace, the eunuch was obviously not from the same group as them.
No matter how big the differences are between Commander Wen and other commanders of the Forbidden Army, now that the people from Dongchang are riding on their necks, it is definitely right to beat them.
So Wen Kongheng gave an order, and the Imperial Army responded loudly, and directly fought with the people from Dongchang. The two groups of people started fighting on the spot under the inner palace gate.
While Xia Zhang was cursing the rebellious ministers and traitors, he flew up and struck directly at Wen Kong with his palm. The two of them fought together, and dozens of moves passed in the blink of an eye. This time, both of them were stunned.
Although limited by his status, Wen Kongheng and Xia Zhang had never actually made a move, but he was proficient in martial arts and had already secretly investigated Xia Zhang's martial arts level.
Originally, based on his estimation, Xia Zhang's martial arts might be better than Zou Ji's, but it was still very limited. The two men were promoted to the East and West factories respectively. Not only were they equal in status, they should also be on par in terms of martial arts.
However, after this test, Wen Kongheng discovered that something was wrong. The other party's martial arts was far higher than Zou Ji's. This guy was deliberately pretending to be a grandson!
If Wen Kongheng's temptation set off alarm bells in his heart, then Xia Zhang immediately scolded her after the temptation.
"Damn it! It turns out that Wen Kongheng, you and Meng Yuan have been colluding for a long time! You bastard! You actually fooled everyone!"
Xia Zhang is a master of martial arts, so he discovered as soon as they fought that Wen Kongheng's martial arts was very average, quite average. Let alone being on par with a top master like Meng Yuan, he might not even be able to compare with himself.
This is very scary, because Wen Kongheng has clashed with Meng Yuan more than once in public, and according to rumors, the two of them have also fought in private, both in front of and behind the scenes.
However, no matter whether they were in the imperial army or the Jinyi Guards, everyone unanimously said that the martial arts of Commander Wen was on par with Meng Yuan.
This is simply a lie! Xia Zhang has clearly seen Meng Yuan's strength, so he understands very well that it is easier for Meng Yuan to beat Wen Kongheng than to drink a cup of tea! These two people have been colluding for a long time!
Xia Zhang suddenly felt that strong fear in his heart again. Meng Yuan had already gained a reputation, and Wen Kongheng was considered to be the same level of masters because of their many fights with each other.
But at this moment, Xia Zhang clearly knew that the other party was far away from Meng Yuan, so when did the two people begin to collude in private?
Xia Zhang didn't dare to think about it anymore. He suppressed the fear in his heart and stared at Wen Kongheng with his sinister eyes: "Humph, Commander-in-Chief, you are really brave, but you will definitely lose today.
As soon as His Majesty’s decree arrives, none of you can escape!”
Wen Kongheng returned the cold look and said, "Eunuch Xia, you might as well worry about yourself first. When did a person like you become such a loyal minister? It's ridiculous."
Xia Zhang sneered but didn't answer. He was indeed a faggot and an unfamiliar wolf, but he had one advantage that everyone knew, and that was that he was always loyal only to interests.
The emperor has the greatest power in the world, so as soon as the other party opens his mouth, Xia Zhang will immediately turn back into the watchdog he once was without any hesitation.
No matter how fancy the calculations of Wen Kongheng and others are, as long as the emperor does not fall, any strategy is useless, and there is no other way out except seeking death.
"Is the commander-in-chief too complacent? Why do you think you will be able to command the soldiers under your command?"
Xia Zhang's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said with a ferocious smile: "The Forbidden Army has always only served the emperor. Even without Tao Yuanlang, as soon as His Majesty the Emperor's order comes, they will immediately chop off your head with a knife."
Wen Kongheng responded with a cold look and said nothing. Xia Zhang said sarcastically: "The commander-in-chief still thinks that his assistant is powerful enough to cooperate with you inside and outside? Stop dreaming! No matter how powerful the Jin Yiwei is, do they dare to attack this imperial city!"
As long as there is no will, even if they have the ability to go to heaven and earth, they can only stare at that gate!"
Xia Zhang's words are not arrogance and complacency, but cruel reality. The Jinyi Guards are acting under the emperor's orders. At the feet of the emperor, everyone in the world is watching. There is no reason for them to attack the imperial city gate.
Who can stop the mouth?
In fact, Lu Hanjiang also had a headache outside the palace gate at this time.
"It's troublesome."
Lu Hanjiang suddenly sighed abruptly: "The old man's ability to handle this matter is really unreliable."
Several Jin Yiwei senior officials looked at each other in confusion. Lu Hanjiang pointed at the tower in the distance and asked, "What do you think of the imperial troops guarding the city today?"
Several people looked at each other, Wu Qiming frowned and said: "It seems to be the same as usual?"
"Wrong," Lu Hanjiang chuckled: "There are more than four times the number of Forbidden Army troops gathered on the city tower than usual."
Several people were stunned for a moment. They did not doubt Lu Hanjiang's words. In the name of visiting the princess during this period, Mr. Lu ran to the palace frequently. He must be more familiar with the prevention and control of the Forbidden Army than they were.
Lu Hanjiang sighed: "I bet that your Majesty must have figured out what the old man is, so this is going to be troublesome."
