Chapter 334 Zhu Houzhao is in front of the army! 【3 more】
After receiving the news, Hu Yi had ordered the imperial guards in the palace to gather towards the palace gate. At this time, hundreds of imperial guards had gathered at the palace gate.
Thanks to the series of changes in the palace in the past few days, coupled with this great court meeting, the number of guards in the palace has increased a lot. Otherwise, there are only a few hundred people in the palace on weekdays. Even if they are all summoned, it is impossible to guard the palace.
You have to live at the palace gate.
However, at this moment, there are thousands of guards gathered in the Forbidden City. If we add some Jinwu Guards and Jinyi Guards, there are almost 1,500 people.
Several old eunuchs stood not far away. It was Gu Dayong who came after hearing the news, and several of the eunuchs who had been in charge of the palace all year round.
It can even be said that if Jiao Fang and other ministers had not stopped Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao would have rushed over in person by now.
To be honest, Zhu Houzhao, who had left Jiao Fang and others to discuss how to deal with Jiang Mian and others, was in a rare mood of relief. After all, he had taken down so many officials in the court who made him angry but had no choice but to do anything. Zhu Houzhao was in a good mood.
That's a relief.
However, the good mood did not last long, as a chamberlain came to report that Wu Dinghou Guo Xun rebelled and even led his troops to besiege the Forbidden City.
In a side hall of Fengtian Hall, several important ministers looked sad, while Zhu Houzhao looked calm, but from walking around there, it could be seen that Zhu Houzhao was actually quite worried.
After a pause, Zhu Houzhao said to Qian Ning, the commander of the Jinyi Guards: "Qian Ning, have you ever sent someone to summon Chu Daban?"
Zhu Houzhao was able to stabilize his mind precisely because Chu Yi was in the capital. As long as Chu Yi got the news, Guo Xun was nothing.
Of course, the premise is that the palace guards can resist until Chu Yi leads his troops to rescue him.
In the original history, Qian Ning was Zhu Houzhao's favorite, and it can be said that his relationship with Zhu Houzhao was extraordinary. However, with Chu Yi's intrusion, although Qian Ning also became the commander of the Jin Yiwei, he was just a commander of the Jin Yiwei.
That’s all.
Qian Ning looked serious and said: "Reporting to your majesty, I have sent several waves of guards in uniform to convey the message. I think it won't be long before the chief manager will bring someone back to rescue him!"
Zhu Houzhao faintly heard the movement from the direction of the palace gate, frowned and said: "Send someone to check how long Hu Yi and the others can last."
Guo Xu came with thousands of troops. The walls of the Forbidden City were not high at all, and the guards were short of manpower, so they might not be able to withstand it for long.
Qian Ning responded and sent someone to check.
At this moment, in the main hall, Jiao Fang stepped forward and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, I kindly ask your Majesty to move!"
Jiao Fang's intention was very obvious, that is, to ask Zhu Houzhao to leave the palace, and then go out to find Chu Yi. As long as he reunited with Chu Yi, he would then counterattack back to the Forbidden City.
Zhu Houzhao naturally understood what Jiao Fang meant, but if word spread that he, the majestic emperor, was forced to escape from the Forbidden City by rebellious ministers and traitors, it would be a disgrace to him, so unless it was absolutely necessary,
Zhu Houzhao was absolutely unwilling to be the emperor who escaped.
An important minister saw Zhu Houzhao's expression and took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, I thought that Your Majesty only needs to leave the Fengtian Palace temporarily. If Hu Yi leads them and they cannot resist it, and the rebellious ministers and thieves break into the palace, then Your Majesty
Just get up and leave the palace."
This can be regarded as a compromise. Several important ministers stepped forward and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, please put the overall situation first!"
It can be seen that Zhu Houzhao is very hesitant.
Jiao Fang coughed lightly and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, if Governor Chu is here and His Majesty is so hesitant, the Governor will definitely be extremely disappointed with Your Majesty!"
After Zhu Houzhao heard what Jiao Fang said, he took a deep breath, raised his head and looked at Jiao Fang and said: "What Mr. Jiao Ge said is true. I have always boasted to my companion that my courage is comparable to that of Taizu and Chengzu. If I had become a deserter,
If so, wouldn’t it make my companion laugh?”
"ah……"
Jiao Fang had a dull look on his face. He originally wanted to use Chu Yi to admonish Zhu Houzhao, but he didn't expect that this would be the result.
"Your Majesty..."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said: "You gentlemen, there is no need to persuade me any more. I know you are doing it for my own good, but I am no longer a child. I know what is important and what is important, and I know what is important and what is important."
While speaking, Zhu Houzhao said in a deep voice: "Please invite Mr. Shao and several eunuchs to accompany me to meet Wu Dinghou!"
This was good news. Instead of leaving the palace, Zhu Houzhao was going to the palace gate to see Guo Xun.
Plop, plop.
Several important ministers knelt on the ground and said in shock: "Your Majesty, you must not do this!"
Zhu Houzhao stepped forward and helped up the important ministers one by one and said: "My dear friends, don't worry. Even if you don't have confidence in Commander Hu Yi, you should still have confidence in Zhenren Shao and the several supervisors. When the time comes, you will be
The palace gate is broken, but Master Shao still has the ability to take me away."
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao said to Shao Yuanjie, who was silent on the side: "Master Shao, I ask you, are you sure you can get me out safely?"
Shao Yuanjie took a deep breath, hesitated a little and said: "Although I am sure, your Majesty is rich in gold, so I suggest that your Majesty should put safety first..."
Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly and said: "With Master Shao and several eunuchs protecting me, what should I fear?"
At the palace gate, fortunately, the men and horses who were coerced by Guo Xun had little fighting power, and many of them were even useless. Otherwise, the palace gate might have been breached by now.
Even so, hundreds of imperial guards had killed and injured nearly a hundred people. As for Guo Xun's men who attacked the palace gate, hundreds of them also fell.
The men under Guo Xun are not elites. They just patrol the capital on weekdays. If compared, the capital camp is like an army, and those under Guo Xun are equivalent to the police, and their combat effectiveness is extremely weak.
If there were really thousands of troops, the palace gate guarded by a few hundred people, and there was no high wall to obstruct it, would have been breached long ago.
Guo Xun looked at his men who were unable to work one by one. They attacked for more than half an hour but failed to break through a single palace gate. Guo Xun almost went crazy.
A sword stabbed a soldier to death, and Guo Xun roared: "Come on, if you can't break through the palace gate within a stick of incense, I will kill you all!"
Hu Yi, who was covered in blood, had a big sword flying in his hand. It could be said that all the soldiers who got close to Hu Yi were beheaded by him one by one.
Just like a god of killing, Hu Yi alone stopped hundreds of soldiers within a few feet. No one could make a move under his sword. It can be said that he alone killed more than 100 soldiers.
There are more than a hundred people.
Hu Yi, who has mastered Kung Fu, is like a ferocious beast in human form, capable of fighting even an innate strong man, let alone a group of ordinary soldiers.
Of course, after killing hundreds of people in succession, even Hu Yi was a little tired, at least the killing speed couldn't be compared to before.
Especially at this moment, Hu Yi's body was densely covered with arrows. Of course, Hu Yi, who had mastered Kung Fu, except for a few vital points, even the arrows could not break his defense, but the armor on his body could not break it.
But it was full of arrows.
At a glance, Hu Yi was like a hedgehog, charging wildly and killing only those soldiers who were frightened. Even wherever Hu Yi went, these soldiers would dodge one by one.
It was precisely because of Hu Yi's intimidation that the palace gate was not breached.
The Forbidden Army was able to persist for so long, on the one hand, because Guo Xun's men had little combat effectiveness, and on the other hand, it was because there was a powerful and powerful presence like Hu Yi on the Forbidden Army.
In Guo Xun's rage, a group of soldiers rushed forward, stabbing Hu Yi with spears and spears in their hands.
Dozens of spears were thrust from all directions. Even Hu Yi couldn't dodge and could only resist.
When Zhu Houzhao, Jiao Fang and other important officials arrived, they happened to see Hu Yi fighting there.
Seeing Hu Yi's body covered with arrows and more than a dozen spears stabbing Hu Yi, this scene only made Zhu Houzhao's blood boil. At the same time, he couldn't help but clenched his fists in worry and exclaimed: "Commander Hu!"
Amidst the shouts of killing, Zhu Houzhao's exclamation did not attract many people's attention, but Zhu Houzhao and his party were too conspicuous. They could just see Zhu Houzhao and his party through the collapsed palace gate.
Guo Xun, Jiang Mian and others naturally saw Zhu Houzhao and the others at a glance. What Guo Xun was most worried about was that Zhu Houzhao escaped first. If this was the case, then all his efforts would be in vain.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Houzhao not only did not leave the palace, but instead appeared here.
"Hahaha, Zhu Houzhao, you didn't run away. God helps me, God helps me!"
Zhu Houzhao glanced coldly at Guo Xun, who was laughing loudly, and said with a bit of disdain: "You want to force the palace, Wu Dinghou, I don't look down on you, how can you win over me?"
Qin An, an old eunuch with a stooped figure and almost no sense of presence, glanced at Guo Xun in the distance and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you let this old slave go and kill the traitor Guo Xun!"
Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up and he looked at Qin An and said, "Qin An, are you sure?"
Qin An pondered for a while, shook his head slightly and said: "Guo Xun's cultivation is acceptable, and his bodyguards are not bad. In addition, there is a large army on the side. Unless it is unexpected, I am not completely sure!"
Qin An said: "But your Majesty, you can rest assured that Guo Xun does not have top-notch soldiers. Even if the palace gate is finally breached with the help of large numbers of people, the old slave and Master Shao can easily lead your Majesty to escape."
Zhu Houzhao was completely relieved. Since his own safety was guaranteed, there was nothing to worry about. Seeing Guo Xun's confident look, Zhu Houzhao said to Qin An: "In this case, you can try to kill Guo Xun."
Xun is naturally the best, but if you can’t kill him, you have to protect yourself first!”
