Chapter 335 Your Majesty is really nonsense! [1 more]
Qin An saluted Zhu Houzhao, his figure was erratic, he walked through the palace gate like a ghost, and rushed directly towards Guo Xun.
How could Guo Xun, who was staring at Zhu Houzhao excitedly, have the intention to pay attention to an old eunuch next to Zhu Houzhao? When Qin An disappeared, Guo Xun was a little surprised, but the next moment he only heard a cry from the soldier beside him.
Duan shouted: "Master Hou, be careful!"
The next moment a strong force came, Guo Xun was staggered by the leader of the soldiers, and was pushed away. Just when Guo Xun was furious, the leader of the soldiers who pushed him away was vomiting blood.
It flew out upside down.
And an old, rickety figure appeared in the crowd. Who could it be if it wasn't the old eunuch beside Zhu Houzhao.
Guo Xun was stunned at first. When Qin An looked at him, Guo Xun rolled on the spot almost instinctively and got into the crowd. At the same time, he shouted: "Kill him, kill him for me!"
It has to be said that Guo Xun still attaches great importance to his own life. The more than a hundred people beside him are all loyal generals raised by his Wuding Marquis. Although it is said that the Ming Dynasty was raised in the late Ming Dynasty.
The atmosphere of servants has only reached its peak, but at this time, there are already signs.
This is even more obvious in the military. Even the homes of civilian officials have many servants, let alone the homes of nobles.
These noble families have connections in the military, so if they are willing, they can select some of the elite soldiers from the military to be their own servants.
And those brave soldiers in the army are often willing to take refuge in these nobles.
After all, being able to serve these nobles would at least mean that they would have someone to rely on for the rest of their lives, and would no longer have to worry about themselves and their families losing their lives on the battlefield one day.
Therefore, many elites in the army are very happy to take refuge with the nobles.
Wu Dinghou's family gathered such a group of strong soldiers in the army. There were not too many soldiers, and they usually appeared as servants, but they were not conspicuous at all.
After all, in this capital city, it is very common for some powerful families to have hundreds of servants in their homes. Just like the families of British Dukes and Dingguo Dukes, if they are really willing, they can even bring in nearly a thousand servants.
Servants have never been a problem.
Needless to say, these people around Wu Dinghou are the elite of the army gathered by Wu Dinghou. The relationship between these people and Wu Dinghou is one of mutual prosperity and loss. Maybe the soldiers who were brought here will rebel, but
These people will never rebel.
At this moment, I saw Wu Dinghou being targeted by the old eunuch Qin An. Even though Qin An behaved like a ghost, these people still rushed towards Qin An without fear of death.
Qin An had said before that the best way to deal with people like Wu Dinghou who were in the army was to make a surprise attack.
Once the opponent reacts and hides in the army, even an innate strongman like him will have no good way to kill the opponent in a short time.
With one strike of Qin An's palm, a soldier was sent flying. In just a dozen breaths, nearly twenty people fell in front of Qin An.
Taking advantage of this short period of time, Guo Xun had already hid in the army and even distanced himself from Qin An. He was surrounded and protected by soldiers.
Qin An narrowed his eyes, soared into the sky, and pounced like an eagle on Guo Xun who was hiding in the crowd.
If Qin An falls by his side, even if Guo Xun is protected by many people, there is only one way to die.
"Shoot him to death for me, archers, muskets..."
Boom, boom, boom!
Several fire blunderbuss and dozens of arrows were aimed at Qin An. In an instant, Qin An's figure strangely moved horizontally in the air for almost a foot, and then fell down.
But the soldiers where Qin An landed were in bad luck. Qin An killed as many as a dozen of them on the spot.
Guo Xun saw Qin An killing people there like mowing grass. He was frightened and angry. He shouted repeatedly: "Kill him, kill him for me, and I will reward you with ten thousand taels of silver!"
There must be brave men under heavy rewards. Although Qin An's murder is indeed very shocking, there are always people who are lucky enough to try to take a chance.
Zhu Houzhao, who was in the distance, saw that Qin An failed to kill Guo Xun by surprise, and even fell into the army, and couldn't help but frowned and said: "Pass on my decree, let Qin An come back! Since Guo Xun is prepared,
In the chaos of the army, it is not that easy to kill him."
If they really fight alone, no one among these soldiers can be Qin An's opponent. The key is that these soldiers are outnumbered. At this time, swords are really coming out, and even fire blunderbuss are used. If Qin An is not strong enough
If it's high, you might be killed by a firecracker.
Here Zhu Houzhao's decree was issued, and the messengers shouted loudly. Qin An's body rose and fell, and he returned to the Forbidden City in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Guo Xun couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then he finally emerged from the crowd.
You must know that just now he was so frightened that he couldn't help but hide. If not, Qin An might not try again to see if he could get close to Guo Xun.
Guo Xun was furious when Qin An did this. He couldn't help but roar and urged his men to attack the palace gate.
As a result, the pressure on the imperial guards guarding the palace gate naturally increased.
Zhu Houzhao frowned as he looked at the sudden increase in casualties among the Imperial Guards and said, "What's going on? Didn't I already order people to go to the Fourth Guards Camp in Tengxiang to convey the order? Even if Chu Daban fails to receive the warning,
The fourth guard camp in Tengxiang should also have received the news."
Qian Ning, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, had cold sweat on his forehead. You must know that Guo Xun made such a big noise, and the Jin Yiwei reported it almost as soon as Guo Xun robbed the prison of the Ministry of Justice.
Qian Ning just didn't report it to Emperor Ming at the first time, but he sent people to look for Chu Yi at the first time.
From Qian Ning's point of view, with Chu Yi in the capital, Guo Xun would not be able to cause any trouble. He never dreamed that Guo Xun did not choose to leave the capital, but instead turned around and attacked the Forbidden City.
It can be said that if Qian Ning had not made a mistake in judgment and was unwilling to disturb Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao and the others would definitely have gotten the news over a cup of tea in the morning.
Later, when Qian Ning saw Guo Xu rushing towards the Forbidden City, he quickly reported the news to the emperor. Zhu Houzhao immediately ordered the Jin Yiwei to go to the Fourth Guard Camp of Tengyang with the order to mobilize troops to deliver the order.
At this time, almost half an hour has passed. If everything goes well, the Tengxiang Fourth Guards Camp should have arrived.
Glancing at Qian Ning, Zhu Houzhao frowned and said, "Qian Ning, what's going on? Did you send someone to the Fourth Guard Camp of Tengyang to convey the order?"
Qian Ning said with a bitter look on his face: "I...I have already sent people to the Fourth Guard Camp of Tengxiang to deliver the order. Ordinarily...it seems that Commander Han Kun should also bring people to rescue him at this time!"
As he spoke, Qian Ning's eyes flickered and he said, "Unless...unless something happens to the person sent by me!"
Seeing Qian Ning's appearance, Zhu Houzhao almost kicked him out of anger. What do you mean the person he sent had an accident?
Those were the emperor's personal soldiers, the royal guards, so how could something happen to them?
But soon Zhu Houzhao frowned, and even the palace was infiltrated. Even Zhu Houzhao himself didn't believe it if someone among his royal guards had not been planted in.
"I can't be so unlucky!"
Seeing Zhu Houzhao's expression, Qian Ning obviously realized what Zhu Houzhao was thinking at this moment. In fact, he had already thought of it just now, but he just didn't dare to say it out.
There was a problem with the Jin Yiwei. No matter what, he, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, was the unlucky one in the end.
Zhu Houzhao looked at the crumbling Forbidden Army and couldn't help but exclaimed angrily: "I originally wanted to give my companion a surprise, but in the end, my good deeds were ruined by you wastes!"
Zhu Houzhao prided himself on being a prodigy, but unfortunately there was nothing to prove it. This time, Zhu Houzhao thought that he would be able to sit in the Forbidden City to face the enemy, and cooperate with the Tengxiang Four Guards Battalion to suppress Guo Xun's rebellion in one fell swoop.
What he didn't expect was that there might be something wrong in this. How could this not make Zhu Houzhao very angry?
Jiao Fang, who was following from the side, opened her eyes even more and almost couldn't help but stepped forward and pinched the neck of Qian Ning, the commander of the Jinyiwei.
But even so, Jiao Fang still stepped forward and stared at Qian Ning and said: "Commander Qian, you are not going to tell me that all the royal guards under you have been bribed, right? Does that mean that you sent
Is there also a problem with the manpower to inform the General Manager?”
If this is the case, then the problem is huge.
Even if the Tengxiang Fourth Guards Camp was aware of the changes in the capital, Han Kun and other generals would never dare to send troops easily without a military order being issued to the army.
This is the Forbidden City. If we say we didn’t dispatch the troops to go to the Forbidden City, what kind of behavior is that?
Qian Ning's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he said in a trembling voice to Zhu Houzhao, who looked ugly: "I...I sent several waves of people to find the general manager. Even if there is a problem with one wave of people, it will not be the same for several waves of people."
Bar!"
Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly, glared at Qian Ning and said, "I will settle the score with you after the Guo Xun rebellion is suppressed!"
At this time, Jiao Fang stepped forward and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, the Tengxiang Four Guards Camp cannot mobilize troops without military orders. At this moment, there is no movement. I am afraid that the Jin Yiwei who went to convey the order really has a problem. I sincerely ask your Majesty
Move immediately!"
Zhu Houzhao gritted his teeth and said: "If I just escape from the palace in such a dejected manner, I will not be laughed to death by Chu Daban. How can I claim to be Taizu, a descendant of Chengzu! If the word spreads, I will make people laugh!"
Seeing that Zhu Houzhao still cared about being laughed at, Jiao Fang couldn't help but turned to Gu Dayong. Qian Ning and others shouted: "Why are you guys still standing there, why don't you ask Your Majesty to move!"
Jiao Fang stepped forward and grabbed Zhu Houzhao, and at the same time said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude. Even if you punish me afterwards, I will admit it!"
I don’t know how old Jiao Fang has so much strength, but Zhu Houzhao couldn’t help but take a few steps back. Zhu Houzhao couldn’t help but said anxiously: “Jiao Fang, let go, don’t let go yet!”
There was a pop, the ground shook, and a puff of smoke billowed. It turned out that a section of the palace wall had finally been knocked open by the rebels.
Guo Xun, who was in the middle of the army, couldn't help laughing when he saw this. He drew his sword in his hand, pointed at the broken palace wall and shouted: "Come at me!"
Rumbling, the ground shook. Such a big movement was obviously coming from a large number of cavalry. This movement was not only felt by Guo Xun, Jiang Mian and others in the rebel army, but also by Zhu Houzhao and others in the Forbidden City.
Feel.
With such a momentum, it was obvious that cavalry was approaching rapidly.
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he immediately said to Qin An: "Qin An, please check quickly, who is coming?"
Qin An jumped up, and after a few ups and downs, he stood on a palace. Looking from a distance, he saw hundreds of cavalry in the distance sweeping along like a torrent. Looking at the speed, it took at most ten breaths.
You can arrive there.
Especially the figure at the head was very familiar to Qin An. With just one glance, Qin An couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.
Falling down, Qin An saluted Zhu Houzhao and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have checked and the person who came is none other than General Manager Chu Yi!"
When Zhu Houzhao and others heard this, their faces showed joy. Even Jiao Fang, who was originally holding Zhu Houzhao, let go of Zhu Houzhao, her face full of joy.
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing, and said while laughing: "I knew that my companion would definitely come over to save me!"
Zhu Houzhao and others were naturally very happy when they heard that Chu Yi had arrived with troops, but for Guo Xun and others, Chu Yi's arrival was bad news.
Since Guo Xun chose to besiege the Forbidden City with his troops, he had actually been mentally prepared for it. After all, he also knew that in the capital, whether it was the Beijing Camp or the Tengxiang Four Guards, they were all in charge of the emperor's line.
The Jingying camp did not dare to say it, but the Tengxiang Four Guards absolutely followed the Emperor's orders. When he led his men to prepare to rob the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, he sent his confidants to guard the palace on the way to the Tengxiang Four Guards Camp.
Kill all messengers coming out of the palace.
Obviously Guo Xun's arrangement is very effective. At least the fourth guard camp in Tengxiang has not received any transfer orders until now. However, Guo Xun did not expect that the imperial guards in the palace would fight to the death and resist him in front of the palace gate.
For less than half an hour.
I thought I could break into the Forbidden City and capture the Emperor in just a few minutes of tea, but it turned out that it took such a long delay to open the palace wall.
Unfortunately, it was already too late now. Chu Yi had already taken advantage of this time to receive the news and led his army over.
Just by hearing the shaking of the earth, Guo Xun knew that Chu Yi had brought cavalry to kill him.
Jiang Mian and others looked extremely panicked, especially when they learned that Chu Yi had led troops to kill them. Everyone was like headless flies, and they were confused.
Before the excitement of breaking through the palace gate had dissipated, a basin of cold water was poured on their heads. Some officials even lost their composure and burst into tears.
Guo Xun, who was impatient and extremely bored, could not help but stab the wailing official to death with his sword. He frowned and said: "We haven't failed yet, who should we mourn for!"
Everyone just thought that Guo Xun was crazy and subconsciously distanced themselves from Guo Xun. At this time, Chu Yi was already watching from a distance.
To be honest, Chu Yi, who came on horseback, was really shocked when he received the news from Jin Yiwei.
He had calculated everything, but he never expected that Guo Xun would be able to make such a big splash.
However, Chu Yi is really not too worried about Zhu Houzhao's safety. After all, Zhu Houzhao is protected by Shao Yuanjie, Qin An, Hu Yi and others. Even if he cannot defend the Forbidden City, it is not a problem to take Zhu Houzhao out safely.
As long as we leave the palace, the location where the Four Guards Camp in Tengxiang is stationed is only a few miles away from the palace. With a fast horse running, we can reach the Four Guards Camp in Tengxian County in at most a cup of tea.
When Chu Yi arrived with hundreds of cavalry, he thought that Guo Xun had already breached the Forbidden City, but he never expected that he only saw Hu Yi leading the imperial guards to keep the rebels out of the Forbidden City.
Even with his eyesight, he could vaguely see the familiar figure of Zhu Houzhao inside the collapsed palace wall.
"What nonsense!"
Seeing Zhu Houzhao's figure, Chu Yi couldn't help but murmured softly, took a deep breath and said: "Bring me my bow and arrows!"
Next to Qi Hu, the handsome Lin Pingzhi immediately took a strong bow from behind and handed an arrow made of fine iron to Chu Yi.
Chu Yi held the bow in his hand and stood on the horse with one foot. His figure rose and fell with the galloping horse beneath him, but his mind was locked on Guo Xun among the rebels.
Chu Yi could only hear a loud shout: "Guo Xun!"
Chu Yi's shout was heard like thunder. Among the rebellious troops, the restless Guo Xun had just stabbed an official to death. At this moment, he suddenly heard Chu Yi's shout and turned around subconsciously.
Chu Yi looked over.
However, just as he turned around, Chu Yi shot out a volley of arrows from his hand. Three arrows shot out of the air, and even a whistling sound was heard.
The arrows filled with internal energy by Chu Yi came straight towards Guo Xun with a sound of breaking through the air.
Guo Xun only saw three arrows magnifying in his eyes. He almost instinctively waved the sword in his hand to try to block the arrows that came through the air.
With a clang, Guo Xun felt the tiger's mouth crack open, and the sword in his hand was knocked out. The next moment, two arrows sank into his chest.
With a pop, blood spurted out from Guo Xun's mouth, and he lowered his head towards the arrow that pierced his chest, with only half of the arrow feathers exposed, with a somewhat unwilling look on his face.
Guo Xun was killed by Chu Yi with an arrow. At this time, the two were a hundred feet apart. It can be said that Chu Yi's arrow was beyond everyone's expectations.
This is hundreds of feet away, and even the sharpest archers in the army cannot kill a person from such a long distance.
Seeing Guo Xun's chest pierced by an arrow and falling in front of them, Jiang Mian and others were completely stunned, with despair in their eyes.
At this moment, the earth shook, and the cavalry went straight into the rebel army. At the same time, Chu Yi shouted: "Guo Xun is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed! Guo Xun is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed..."
Hundreds of cavalrymen cut the rebels in half like sharp knives. In addition, Guo Xun was shot dead by Chu Yi on the spot, and all the rebels panicked.
Most of these people were brought here. After hearing Chu Yi's words, they were still willing to fight. One by one, they dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground.
