Chapter 850 Breaking into the Capital

The gate of Yongding Gate slowly opened, and the heavy gate made a harsh creaking sound. When the suspension bridge was lowered, the dust splashed all over the sky and danced in the sun. In the gray, Yang Tinghe stepped into the shadow of the city gate cave surrounded by cabinet scholars and Zhang Wei and Tan You, the governors of the governors of the five armies and the central army. Under the sun. There was a smile on their faces, which was amiable and looked as brilliant as the spring sun.

Song Nan sat quietly on the horse and watched them slowly approach. Wang Yong reminded in a low voice, "Your Excellency, it's time to get off the horse."

Song Nan was silent and sat on the back of the horse and did not move. Yang Tin and came to see Song Nan sitting motionless on the horse. He frowned a little, but he still arched his hand and said, "It's really gratifying to be the Duke of Zhen to return it triumphantly. Originally, he should have arrived in Beijing a few days later. How come? Did you go back to Beijing so soon after the advance notice?

Song Nan said lightly, "Does Yang Shoufu hope that I will never come back?"

Yang Tinghe was stunned and said with a smile, "What is this? I mean that the Duke of Zhen returned to Beijing in advance, and the officials in Beijing had no time to gather to welcome your triumph. There is a great loss in etiquette."

Song Nan sighed and said, "What else should we talk about? I can't eat and sleep at night when I heard the news that the emperor is seriously ill. What else can we talk about? As a minister, I wish I could replace myself, but I was still in the mood to care about etiquette. Yang Shoufu, thank you for your kindness, but please make way. I'm in a hurry to visit the emperor. I will thank Shousuke and all the adults for their kindness.

Yang Tinghe was stunned, but saw Song Nan lift the reed horse and shouted, "Go into the city."

Wang Yong answered loudly and waved the horse whip forward. Yang Tinghe was so scared that he quickly flashed aside. Wang Yong's horse body could be rubbed from the corner of his clothes, which scared him to turn pale. In hesitation, the guards had launched, and the horses' hoofs rose and fell, and they stepped on the suspension bridge in an instant.

Yang Tinhe was stunned for a moment, and Liang Chu beside him helped him and whispered anxiously, "The edict, the edict."

Yang Tingyu hurriedly shouted, "The Duke of Zhen has an imperial edict to stay."

The surrounding hoofs were noisy, and Song Nan's back was mixed with the guards in front of him. He didn't seem to hear it and rushed straight to the city.

The soldiers at the gate couldn't react for a moment. They stared at the cavalry coming and didn't know how to deal with it. Zhang Wei shouted in the rear, "Why don't you stop it? What are you doing?"

A thousand guards woke up and shouted at the top of his voice: "Stop the gate, stop the Duke of Zhen."

Although the soldiers at the gate could not hear the roar, they could see the gesture of closing the gate. They immediately took action and raised the wooden railing next to the gate hole across the city gate to block the passage of the brigade cavalry.

Song Nan saw all this in his eyes, stood still and shouted loudly, "Why did you stop the gate?"

Yang Tin and others arrived breathlessly from the rear and shouted, "Duke Zhen, the emperor has an order. Please go to Beijing after receiving the order."

Song Nan frowned and said coldly, "Will? What's the will?"

Yang Tinghe said, "It's the emperor's edict."

Song Nan changed his color and sneered, "Is Yang Shoufu confused? The emperor is still there. What is the edict?"

Yang Tinhe was shocked and said quickly, "I was anxious for a moment and said something wrong, which is the emperor's imperial edict. Please take the order."

Song Nan said coldly, "I just want to go to the palace. What is the emperor's will to speak to my face? Why do I need to do this? Let's take this decree later."

"Soong Nan, do you dare to refuse to accept the order?" Liang Chu shouted loudly.

Song Nan frowned and squinted at Liang Chu and pointed to Liang Chu with the horse whip in his hand and said, "It's a strange thing that you are still standing here to show your prestige. I'll settle accounts with you later and advise you to calm down. I will find out your affairs clearly this time."

Liang Chu shrank back and said bluntly, "Now I want you to take the order, and I have my own judgment."

Yang Tinghe also said harshly, "Duke Zhen, please disap down and take the order. It's not too late to take the order and then enter the palace."

Song Nan laughed, but there was no smile on her face. When the laughter stopped, he shouted in a low voice: "Wang Yong listened to the order and immediately removed the obstacles, but someone dared to block the way into the city. Let's kill him."

Wang Yong responded loudly, ** urged the horse hard, and rushed to the front line of the team first. He shouted loudly, "The brothers of Jinyiwei's camp obeyed the order and bombard everything that blocked the way. Even if people are in the way, they will be blown into meat scum."

Yang Ting shouted loudly, "Song Nan, you refused to accept the order and forced into the city. What are you going to do?"

Song Nan sneered and said, "What do you think I'm going to do?" I will admit the crime of forcibly entering the city without receiving the imperial edict. After seeing the emperor, I will let the emperor go. You don't have to worry about Yang Shoufu. However, Yang Shoufu stopped me from seeing the critically ill emperor on the road. I'm afraid there is some other intention. In the name of the Duke of Daming Town, I asked everything to make a theory after meeting the emperor. Yang Shoufu should know Song's temper. If you insist on blocking the road, the consequences will be borne by Yang Shoufu.

Wang Yong shouted, and immediately shouted loudly. He clicked and brushed to light up the fire, and the sound of ammunition was endless. Hundreds of fire were aimed at the road ahead, and hundreds of behind fire was actually aimed at Yang Tinghe and others.

Yang Tingyu was shocked and shouted angrily, "Song Nan, are you going to rebel?"

Song Nan said, "Don't blame me. I don't like you. I have an urgent military meeting with the emperor. Who wants to stop me from rebelling? Wang Yong, what are you doing?"

Wang Yong answered in a loud voice, and the waves pulled out the embroidered spring knife around his waist. The snowy thin blade shone with a dazzling light in the sun, and shouted in a low voice: "After five breaths, the fire is fired. Five, four, three..."

Wang Yong's countdown stunned the soldiers standing behind the wooden fence, but when he saw the black hole of fire aimed at him, a life-threatening countdown sounded in his ear, and his heart was already scattered. Hui'an waited for Zhang Wei coldly and shouted coldly, "No one is allowed to leave. Let's see if they dare to do it."

"Two...One" Wang Yong's countdown ended, followed by a harsh shout: "Fire."

"Boom." The deafening sound of fire resounded above and below the city gate, and the iron sand and iron eggs emitted by hundreds of fire hit the ground within 20 steps in front of the gate like a storm. Suddenly, dust flew, mud and rocks flew around, and the scene was suddenly chaotic.

After rejecting the horse, the soldiers and horses guarding the city were as dull as wooden chickens. They never thought that Song Nan would really fire. There was a shocking cry in their ears. I don't know how many people were hit by the smoke and dust. They touched their bodies and were actually intact. Suddenly, they shouted that they were lucky. They heard Wang Yong again In the countdown: "Ten...nine...three..."

Now, how dare the soldiers guarding the city in the smoke and dust still stand still and avoid the first round of smoke from the ancestral grave. Standing here again, do they really want to die here? Fortunately, Wang Yongshi counted down from ten this time, but there was enough time to escape.

I don't know who shouted in the smoke: "Escape quickly." All the defenders immediately responded. Although they were blind, they had already figured out the direction and distance to escape, and flew accurately and vigorously to both sides of the city gate to avoid the next fire attack.

Boom! The second round of fire shooting was even more powerful, and the wooden fence stopped at the gate of the city was hit by strong iron sand and iron eggs. The sore holes burst, and the wood chips flew, and heard the sound of horses' hoofs galloping. In the faintly, the figure of the brocade guard cavalry galloped through the smoke and rushed into the city on the ground full of gravel and wood chips.

When the fire sounded, Yang Tinghe was pressed and protected on the ground by the servants around him. He had never seen such a situation. Even if there were many big scenes, he was also scared in the face of Song Nan's desperate style. When he climbed on the ground, he was still thinking in his heart: "If Song Nan shoots himself here, it's true. It's a big joke. He even sent it here from the cabinet house to kill him. What do you think about this?

The roar of fire and the rumble of horses slowly disappeared, and the smoke and dust slowly drifted away. After that, everyone got up from the dust, pouted the soil in their mouths, and looked around in horror. Only then did Yang Ting and think of what a rebellious thing Song Nan had done.

"What a Song Nan, shoot and kill the gate guard. This is a blatant rebellion. Marquis Zhang and Tan, please immediately mobilization of troops and horses to seize Song Nan. Don't allow him to rush into the palace to threaten the safety of the emperor and the Empress Dowager." Yang Tinghe shouted and completely lost his usual indifferent style, with a little hysterical voice.

"But... Lord Shoufu, there are no casualties on the soldiers and horses at the gate." Zhang Wei stared in the direction of the gate.

"What?" Yang Tinhe was stunned and said, "How is that possible?"

"You see, their first round of firearms was shot on the ground a little far before the horse was rejected, more than ten steps away from the defenders." Zhang Wei pointed to a row of bombards on the hard ground and said in a daze.

Yang Tinhe stared at the mottled holes and small holes on the ground. The first round of bombardment of the fire guards did bombard the ground and did not hit the soldiers who blocked the gate at all. Looking at the more than 100 soldiers guarding the city who were hiding in the open space on both sides of the gate, all of them stood, and none of them lay on the ground, which was even more surprising.

"This man is very treacherous. In the first round, he deliberately shot smoke and dust on the ground to hide people's eyes. When the soldiers defending the city were in a panic, they must escape. Wang Yong deliberately counted down to force the soldiers to escape. In the second round, they shot wooden horses and wooden railings, smashed these things that blocked the road, and then rushed in." Liang Chu said with hatred.

When everyone thought about it, they all felt that it was the case. Tan You was so angry that he pointed to the soldiers by the gate and scolded, "A group of wastes, dare to resist orders and escape. I'll deal with you later."

Yang Tinhe sighed and waved his hand and said, "That's all. It's not the time to curse. It's impossible for him to refuse to accept the imperial edict. He should have known the content of the edict and knew that if he received the order, he could only obey the order, so he simply resisted the order. He is going to ask the emperor for proof.

Fei Hong whispered, "What should I do? Isn't that troublesome?"

Yang Tin and Fu Ran said, "What are you panicking about? This morning, I just visited the emperor, and the emperor was still unconscious. I shouted for a long time, but the emperor did not wake up. What can Song Nan do when he sees him? However, in order to prevent, we must immediately order the guards of Zhengyang Gate and delay Song Nan's entry into the palace. We will act according to the plan. Liang Gong, you immediately summon the officials to gather in Fengtian Hall, and we must immediately announce the edict and finalize the major event. The two marquis, please immediately mobilise all the soldiers and horses to prepare for the situation. In case some people want to take the opportunity to make trouble, they must immediately be ruthless and must not tolerate mercy, even if the blood flows into a river.

Zhang Wei and Tan You nodded and agreed. At this point, everyone was all a crayfish on a rope. Although they were very drumming and there was still a Beijing camp stationed in the city. They were afraid that their five military governors were in charge, they had no time to say such words at this time.

"Yes, gather people and prepare to block the palace immediately after he enters the palace. The emperor can't find anything. As soon as he sees him, he immediately announces the order. If he refuses to accept the order again, he will directly catch him for the crime of resisting the order. After taking him, his men will be easy to deal with. Liang Chu whispered.

Yang Tinhe nodded slightly and shouted, "After all, he is the Duke of Daming, and his reputation and achievements are very high. Try to be polite to him so as not to be criticized. Well, I didn't expect to get to this point, which is not what I wanted, but there is nothing I can do.

Fei Hong said, "Yong doesn't have to blame himself. We are also for the sake of the Daming Society. For the sake of the Zhu family, all this we have done is allowed by the Empress Dowager and is also our duty."

Yang Tin and thought for a moment, he straightened his chest and waved his hand and said, "Don't be late. Go and arrange it separately. I will immediately go to the Empress Dowager's Palace and ask the Empress Dowager to go to the Heavenly Hall to witness the announcement of the edict. This matter must be suppressed, and the ministers have nothing to say.

......

Up on the long street, thousands of murderous brocade guards rushed to Zhengyang Gate in the inner city. At the same time, foreign soldiers and horses in the capital received military orders one after another. A foreign soldier and horse only close to Zhengyang Gate quickly gathered, and the defenders of Zhengyang Gate quickly increased to more than 6,000.

When Song Nan and others arrived outside the Zhengyang Gate, Zhengyang Gate was already full of heavily armed garrison soldiers, and the gate was also tightly closed.

Wang Yongce immediately shouted: "Song Nan, Duke of Zhen, returned to Beijing to see the emperor, and you can open the city gate as soon as possible."

The head of the city is the guard and horses of Yingzhou. The commander Yang Zhen stood at the head of the city and said, "It turns out that the Duke of Zhen is triumphant. Please forgive your humble position. The inner city has been fully taken over by the governors of our five armies, and other soldiers and horses are not allowed to enter. This is the order of the Empress Dowager. Naturally, the Duke of Zhen can pass, but his brothers have to stay outside the gate.

Wang Yong shouted angrily, "What's the reason? I'm the head of Jinyiwei, and the head office is in the inner city, but won't you allow me to wait back to the government?"

Yang Zhen spread out his hands and said, "I don't know about this humble position. The humble position only knows how to do things according to orders. If you offend me, please forgive me."

Wang Yong was still waiting to scold. Song Nan coughed and said, "In this case, I will leave my soldiers and horses in the outer city. I only have a few relatives. Is this feasible?"

Yang Zhen arched his hand and said, "Of course it's okay."

Wang Yong quickly whispered, "Your Excellency, the inner city is full of their people. How can we rest assured if we don't follow? What if someone is unfavorable to the adults?

Song Nan said, "I know, but it's just a waste of time if it goes on like this. I have to see the emperor immediately. In this way, when you accompanied me into the palace, Li Daniu took a few brothers to immediately send me orders and gathered the people from the other cities to be on standby. In addition, immediately send someone to the British Mansion in Zhengnanfang to inform Zhang Lun and tell him the current situation. Daniel, conveyed my words to the British public word and told him that if he wanted to protect himself, I wouldn't blame him. If he wanted to help me, it was now. Let him mobilize the regiment camp into the inner city to act with cameras.

Li Daniu nodded and said, "Don't worry, the message will definitely be transmitted. Grandpa Zhang will not sit idly by."

Song Nan sighed, "I hope, I just don't want to put my fate in the hands of others. It's reasonable for him to hesitate."

Li Da Niu took the order to gallop away. Zhao Dapeng said, "Your Excellency, shall I wait here?"

Song Nan said, "You send 200 people to my house, tell me the news of returning to Beijing, and inform the people in my house to wait behind closed doors. Well... You can arrange some people to guard around in case of harassment. What should I do? You don't need me to teach you, you know. The rest of the people will wait here with the brothers in the outer cities who are about to arrive. If you need to forcibly enter the inner city, there will be a signal to inform you. In addition, you must not act rashly and clash with the gate guards.

Zhao Dapeng bowed his hand to his orders. Song Nan turned around and said to Wang Yong, "Let's go."

Wang Yong nodded, and the two rode their horses slowly to approach the gate of Zhengyang Gate. The rest of the guards slowly retreated under the command of Hou Dabiao to show that they had no intention of attacking the gate. Yang Zhen shook his hand at the head of the city and ordered to open half of the gate. Song Nan slowly entered the city under the eyes of thousands of soldiers at the gate.

The street leading to Damingmen is empty, and the long and wide streets look lonely and empty. The big trees with tender green branches on both sides swing slightly in the spring breeze, making a gentle rustle sound. The sun casts their shadows on the ground and decorates the mottled.

Wang Yong looked around warily and whispered, "Hou Dabiao and Sun Xuan don't know what to eat. The government is in the inner city. They should know the news of the adults' return to Beijing, but they have disappeared, and the situation in the city has changed greatly. Even if they don't know the inside story, they should be aware of it."

Song Nan smiled and said, "According to my estimation, all the dispatch in the city is an order given by them under the emperor's hand, and no one can object it; my brother-in-law obediently obeyed, not to mention Hou Dabiao and Sun Xuan; Didn't Zhang Yong say that the general camp of Jinyiwei Dahan in the palace were transferred to Xiyuan and no longer shoulder it. Take the responsibility of guarding the palace, all of which is the result of careful planning. But I believe that they are just waiting for me to come back, and they must have plans.

Wang Yong nodded and said, "I hope so. Anyway, we have to be more careful. People's hearts are separated from each other. Who knows how things will develop? To be honest, I regret not dissuade you from going back to Beijing directly. I thought the situation in the capital would not be so dangerous, but now it seems that there are many crises. Your Excellency, I ask you to agree to the next thing.
