027 Renegade
Tian Qing's eyes sank, and he turned around and left. As soon as the four people left the criminal department, someone quietly came forward in the dark and said, "Your Excellency, the people in the prison let the emperor take them into the palace."
"Why didn't you say it earlier?"
"My master asked the little one to come as soon as he heard about it, but you are in it. If the little one can't get in, you have to wait here."
"Does he have any plans?"
"The master said that the emperor took him into the palace and locked him. I'm afraid it would be dangerous. He has already entered the palace first. Please follow up immediately. Someone in the palace will pick up the adults."
Tian Qing pulled the corners of his mouth and nodded and said, "Let's go now." After saying that, he raised his hand to the three people behind him.
The layers of palace looked more and more solemn in the night. Tian Qing and the three had waist cards in their hands, and they were unimpeded all the way. After entering the palace, there were eunuchs immediately leading the way. Tian Qing did not say a word, but followed silently, but his eyes moved around.
The eunuch was also silent, but he led the way with his head hanging down. The four people followed him all the way. When he was passing through a hall, suddenly more than a dozen people came in front of him. When the first four people carried four angry wind lanterns to illuminate the one person they surrounded them, the four headlights were shining on the man wearing a purple robe, round, holding a handkerchief in his hand. Zi wiped sweat on his face, isn't he the Duke of Zhu? When the people who were with him saw the people in front of him, they immediately stopped and asked, "Who is it?"
Before Tian Qing could speak, the eunuch who led the way suddenly rushed forward, suddenly jumped at the foot of Duke Zhu, and shouted, "Help... Your Excellency, help... They are holding small... Breaking into the palace..."
Duke Zhu's whole body trembled and looked clearly under the bright light. It was the person who was in the restaurant yesterday. He happened to know "Tian... Tian Qing..." He shouted loudly, and his voice was trembling. An idea flashed in his mind. The Iron Army entered the palace at night! They are... going to revolt!
With his shouting, the imperial forest army behind him rushed to Tian Qing and three people at the same time. The others protected the Duke of Zhu and ran to the Qianning Hall. The Duke of Zhu was fat and had not run like this for many years. However, the current situation was compelling. He held up half of his life, and several guards dragged and pulled the ground and finally ran to the dry. In the Ning Palace, the emperor was about to go to bed and greeted him in a panic. The Duke of Zhu's face was blue and he shouted, "The iron army has entered the palace, and these people are going to rebel..." He turned around and said, "Immediately, the general of the nine-door admiral, the imperial army, will come to see you. By the way... Call General Liu..." The guard promised to run away.
The emperor held him and patted him on the back to comfort him, but his eyes looked straight ahead. Duke Zhu gasped and pulled her thoughts back: "Your Majesty, do you remember? Iron Army, alas, this group of people are in Beijing, and I know that something will happen sooner or later... But it doesn't matter. Fortunately, we have the imperial army and nine-door admirals, and there are only 8,000 people. Even if they get the opportunity, we can suppress it down. Your Majesty, you'd better hide." As he spoke, he was about to push the emperor in, but behind him was the door of the palace. Liu Chengyuan had strode in. "The emperor was shocked. Chengyuan is late."
Duke Zhu hurriedly said, "General Liu, the iron army has rebelled!"
"Ah... is there such a thing?"
"Isn't it? I saw it with my own eyes, alas, why didn't they come yet? The Duke of Zhu was in a hurry, and his sweat could not be wiped clean like rain.
Liu Chengyuan didn't say anything at this time. He just stayed quietly. Sometimes he persuaded Duke Zhu or appeased the emperor. After a while, several guards rushed to the ground and worshipped: "Your Majesty, it's not good... Ye Kun, the admiral of Jiumen, is missing... Now there are no heads in the city. There is no whereabouts of the nine-door adjustment order. If it is chaotic..."
Zhu Guogong trembled and said, "How can a good person... go missing... look for it... look for it immediately..."
Before he finished speaking, another group of guards also rushed to the front to report! The body of General Li En's leader was found, and the waist card on his body was missing!"
Ah! Zhu Guogong's face was like dead ashes, and now he didn't even shake anymore. He just stared and completely lost his soul. Liu Chengyuan came forward and shouted, "The emperor is noisy. What's the style? You all go down and listen to the order outside the hall." Several guards responded and immediately retreated.
Liu Chengyuan said, "Your Excellency, don't worry. There must be a way."
Duke Zhu turned to the emperor and said sluggishly, "What else can I do? They have all...calculated."
Liu Chengyuan frowned and said, "Iron Army shouldn't want to do anything, right? Aren't they the powerful generals of Huihou? When he entered the camp, he had vowed to protect the moon king for life. How could he fight back? Could it be... Because of what happened in the restaurant yesterday... They wanted to ask the emperor to explain..."
"You... alas, why do you think so? Isn't it obvious now? The Admiral of Jiumen and the Chief of Yulin have been plotted by them... This is obviously... prepared. In those years, it was an oath to Huihou. For these killing people, repentance was not as easy as turning over the palm of their hands. What's wrong with this?"
"If so... I have a way."
"Oh? Say it quickly." Duke Zhu looked forward to it.
Liu Chengyuan took a look at the king of Yue, who was always silent and giggled, and said, "Actually, I went to Beijing this time because I was chasing a group of robbers, so I brought some soldiers... There were not many people, but because of the saints in Beijing, I left them in Peining..."
"Pei Ning? Isn't it only more than a dozen miles away from the capital?
"Yes, I also know that this is inappropriate, but it was a slow plan at that time... I hope the Lord will not investigate me for leading troops into Beijing."
"Where, where! This is God's will. Since you have soldiers nearby, let them go to Beijing immediately. I will arrange someone to open the gate. How many troops do you have?
"Fifty thousand." Liu Chengyuan's voice is steady.
Duke Zhu's heart trembled, "Fifty...Fifty thousand..." I heard him say that the number of people was not large, but it turned out to be 50,000. This is half of the soldiers and horses guarding the border. Why does he have to take so many people to fight a robber? Duke Zhu looked at Liu Chengyuan's face in the candlelight, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Liu Chengyuan Dingqing suddenly smiled gently on his face: "The timing can't be delayed. Your Excellency, order it quickly."
Duke Zhu weighed over and over again in his heart. He couldn't be good today. He tried to calm down the tension on his face and said, "Okay, you can arrange it."
Liu Chengyuan said, "It's just... I don't have a token and I can't act."
Duke Zhu tried his best to restrain the fear in his heart, untied his token and put it in his hand: "You open the gate with this, and no one can stop you."
Liu Chengyuan smiled and held the card with both hands: "I take the order," and then left. The Duke of Zhu looked at his back disappearing in the darkness outside the hall, and his whole body was like an ice cellar.
