Zhang Yanling, surrounded by Huo Shijian, Chen Shiyi and a dozen personal guards, rushed out of the square in front of Fengtian Palace on horseback and went straight to Donghua Gate. Behind him, dozens of Dongchang servants were led by Liu Zhong and held firearms.
Block the pursuing enemy from the rear and ensure the safe evacuation of Zhang Yanling and others.
Traces of flare flames flashed in the air. Zhang Yanling and others knew that this was a signal from the Jinyiwei Han General's Camp, notifying all palace gates to be blocked and to trap themselves in the palace. However, Zhang Yanling had already estimated and done this.
Prepare and respond.
Going east from Fengtian Hall, Zhang Yanling and his party arrived near Wenhua Hall amid shouts of death. Beside the pillars in front of Wenhua Hall, Feng Gang and Tan Changshun were looking around when they saw Zhang Yanling and his party speeding towards them.
, and hurriedly welcomed him out.

"But it's here. Changshun and I can't wait any longer. If we don't come, we will lead our brothers and rush over to save people." Feng Gang said anxiously.
Zhang Yanling shouted in a deep voice: "Don't say anything more. Close the palace door immediately and order all brothers to prepare for battle. They will be arriving soon. They know that we can't get out of the palace, so they will mobilize a large number of people to search for us. We want to be here
Meet the enemy everywhere."
After Liu Zhong arrived with fifty or sixty soldiers, everyone retreated into the Wenhua Palace, closed the two palace doors, and put up iron bolts. In the Wenhua Palace, there were more than 500 fully armed navy guards.
The horses were already stationed in the front and rear halls and turrets, ready to meet the enemy.
Zhang Yanling strode into the second-floor terrace of the main hall of Wenhua Hall, where the terrain is higher and can have a panoramic view of the surroundings. In the room next to the second-floor terrace, Zhu Houcong was sitting nervously on a chair, and two eunuchs were whispering next to him.
What.
Seeing Zhang Yanling and others coming up, Zhu Houcong stood up quickly and looked at Zhang Yanling in panic.
"King Jinghai, how is the situation?" Zhu Houcong asked while swallowing his foam.
"Your Majesty, please relax. It's nothing serious. There's just going to be a war here. Your Majesty, you must not come out. Just stay in the house." Zhang Yanling said with a smile.
Zhu Houcong was surprised and said: "What? Didn't King Jinghai capture Yang Tinghe and his accomplices? Didn't you say that you will capture all these traitors today?"
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "The thieves have arranged everything carefully, and the palace is full of their manpower. How can it be so easy? Prince, don't worry, everything is under control."
Zhu Houcong frowned and said: "King Jinghai, don't you have important evidence in hand? Where is the Queen's letter? If you take it out and read it in the palace, won't the truth come to light? What is written clearly in the letter is ironclad evidence.
Isn’t it enough to turn the situation around?”

Zhang Yanling chuckled and said: "The queen's handwriting is certainly irrefutable evidence, but it cannot be shown to the public now. Do you know why? Because doing so will harm the queen's life. Once the handwriting is made public and Yang Ting and others know that the crime of regicide is exposed, they will
No worries. Now
Their men and horses control the situation inside and outside the palace, so I can't do that. Otherwise, they would have killed the queen at this moment. I can't protect the queen, but I can't harm her. The queen's handwriting will later become the regicide of Yang Tinghe and others.
The irrefutable evidence makes it impossible for them to deny it.”
Zhu Houcong smacked his lips and said, "But...didn't you deceive me? You said you would control the situation...then do your words still count?"
Zhang Yanling chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I, Zhang Yanling, keep my word. I said that as long as you cooperate with me to eradicate the traitors, after the matter calms down, I will definitely hold a grand enthronement ceremony for you to ensure that you become the Ming Emperor.
's throne."
Zhu Houcong smacked his lips, nodded and said, "Okay, I believe you."
Zhang Yanling laughed, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, please stay calm, I am going to meet the enemy. They are coming soon."
Zhang Yanling left the house and walked along the corridor to the second-floor terrace. The second-floor terrace of the Wenhua Palace was more than ten feet above the ground, and the surroundings could be seen at a glance. However, the sound of shouting and running could be heard everywhere, and between the distant palaces
On the road, there was a human figure on the palace wall and the palace gate in the distance. After it was confirmed that Zhang Yanling and others had not left the palace through the palace gate, a large-scale search was quickly launched in the palace.
Zhang Yanling stood on the edge of the terrace, observing the enemy's situation with a telescope. Chen Shiyi beside him whispered: "Your Majesty, it turns out that you were reluctant to disclose the Queen's handwriting today because you were afraid that the Queen would be implicated. I just misunderstood and thought that Your Majesty
Forgot."
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "How could I forget. But today's situation is no longer the time to be reasonable. I can't harm the queen. Therefore, there is no need to make the evidence public, otherwise the queen will be retaliated by them. Besides, the queen's handwriting has already told us
It is enough to win over Prince Xing."
Chen Shi nodded and said: "Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous, how can ordinary people consider the safety of the Queen in this situation? I admire you. But I have a question. Will your prince really be willing to calm down the gaffe and let the prince become the emperor?"
?I think he has too many evil intentions and doesn't look like a good emperor."
Zhang Yanling chuckled and said in a low voice: "I still have to let him have the dream. He has many evil thoughts, so we will take advantage of this. He thinks he is using us, but he doesn't know that we are also using him. At such a young age, he has so many evil thoughts.
, if such a person becomes the emperor, will it be a blessing to the people of the world?"

Chen Shiyi laughed and said: "It turns out that the prince has already seen his evil intentions."
Zhang Yanling smiled and did not answer. He raised his telescope and continued to observe the enemy's situation. But in his mind, he thought of what happened last night.
…
Going back to yesterday evening, in the Wenhua Hall, Zhu Houcong suffered the most humiliating moment in his life. Cao Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, and his men forced him to copy the contents of the imperial edict drafted by Yang Tinghe, and forced him to
Signed and stamped with the jade seal of the Ming Emperor.
At this time, how could Zhu Houcong, as smart as he was, not know that he had become a knife in Yang Tinghe's hand. The content of the imperial edict was to issue an order in his own tone, ordering Yang Tinghe and others to eliminate the thieves in Jingnan. But Zhu Houcong already understood that this
It was through his own hands that he helped Yang Tinghe and others eliminate political enemy Zhang Yanling.
Zhu Houcong was forced to do so. Because he understood that it was useless to resist. They could completely forge the decree. He might as well cooperate and maybe find a chance. If they wanted to write such an imperial decree themselves, it meant that they still needed
If you obey them yourself, you may have a chance to expose them in public. Otherwise, you may not even be able to guarantee your personal freedom.
At this moment, Zhu Houcong remembered what his father said when he learned that he was the heir to the throne. The capital was really not a good place, and the emperor's throne was really not a good place. He had now realized it.
of danger.
After Cao Yuan left with the imperial edict, he left more than 20 Jinyi guards guarding the front and rear gates of Wenhua Hall. Zhu Houcong was extremely depressed and sat in the hall thinking hard.
The thirteen-year-old boy never expected that he would become the emperor with great ambition and confidence, but the current situation would turn out like this. When Zhang Yanling interfered with the enthronement ceremony, he already felt very anxious.
It was powerless. Today, the unabashed intimidation from Yang Tinghe and others made him feel the danger of the future even more.
Am I just going to endure all this? Even if I am supported by Yang Tinghe in the future, will I not be Yang Ting and their puppet? Are I willing to be like this? Moreover, once the imperial edict is issued, I will become the murderer of Zhang Yanling. I will take the place of Zhang Yanling.
Yang Ting and others took the blame for the murder, and the Queen Mother would be able to get around her. Can Zhang Yanling's noble generals spare her? In the future, she will be kicked off the throne like a dog, or die inexplicably, just like her uncle
Same as cousin.
