Cun Zhao saw that he was surrounded by people, the soldiers were shouting noisily, and the atmosphere was almost irreconcilable. He raised his arms in the crowd and shouted loudly: "I have your Majesty's edict here! I have your Majesty's edict." Here! Don’t be impatient!”
Those in the army who heard the order also followed Cun Sijin and shouted, and this was passed on to one team after another. Just now they stopped pushing and making noises, and the troops gradually became orderly.
Cunzhao was overjoyed and hurriedly pulled out a piece of golden silk from his arms, untied the silk, and what he took out was indeed an imperial edict.
"Everyone!" His hands continued to tremble, and he moved the edict from left to right and showed it again, "This is handed over to me by the emperor himself. It contains all the crimes committed by the Liu Party for decades...all kinds of rebellions." , too many to write down! As a minister, how could Cunzhao not feel heartbroken when he saw his Lord being humiliated? So he lay down on his firewood and hated himself for a long time, wishing that he could not eradicate the traitor and clean up the court and the people, so that he could not sleep well. The reason why they wanted to camp in these few days All the weapons and equipment were taken away in order to weaken our strength, take the opportunity to launch a mutiny, and overthrow the great power of our ancestors! Are you willing to become cattle and sheep that are slaughtered by others? Instead of waiting for them to rebel, it is better to pre-emptively strike at will. I broke open the arsenal and ordered to punish the thieves!"
After seeing the emperor's edict and hearing Cun Zhao's words, all the sergeants knew that there was no way to retreat, so they were determined to fight to the death. They were so excited that there was a loud cheering sound, and they shouted at the top of their lungs. After shouting "Long Live" three times, they dispersed and turned around. Qi pointed the short blade in his hand at Eunuch Lu, his eyes full of anger.
Before Eunuch Lu could get back on his horse, people all around him shouted: "Kill him!" They rushed at him fiercely and dragged him off his horse; Cun Zhao was standing in front of him, how could he ignore it and rushed over to stop him: "You Wait a minute! Although this person has committed a heinous crime, he is still a figure in the palace. The power of life and death lies with Your Majesty. Since we are in the name of serving the imperial edict, we must not do anything arbitrarily! First, send two craftsmen to confine him in the tent. No killing is allowed, otherwise it will be considered treason and will be executed in Lingchi!" Everyone looked at each other in shock, and their murderous intentions suddenly stopped. They pulled Eunuch Lu up from the ground, cursed a few times, and pushed him elsewhere.
When Cunzhao saw Eunuch Lu enter the tent safely, he got on his horse, took the torch, and ordered the soldiers: "Follow me to call the old emperor uncle's soldiers and horses. Our two battalions will join forces and throw these away." Useless short-handed daggers, go get swords, guns, and armor from the warehouse!"
All the soldiers obeyed the order and followed Cun Zhao's black horse out of the camp. After a while, they gathered in front of the gate of Taisu Camp, and the black land formed a large area. The two battalions have always spoken with the same voice. Seeing that the brother on the opposite side has made a move, is there any reason not to follow suit? Therefore, he soon made up his mind, pushed Taisu onto his horse from the tent, broke through the camp, and the two armies joined forces and fought to the arsenal. Since there was no key, twenty or thirty people gathered in front of the three-foot-wide wooden door, lying on the wooden board. As soon as the order came, they used all their strength to push the door down with a "clatter". Immediately afterwards, a swarm of people rushed in one after another, taking arrows, crossbows, or swords and guns. There was a chaos for a while, like a strong wind, and the weapons on the shelves were quickly snatched away.
The Imperial Guards finished putting on their armor, selected their weapons, and went to the stables to fetch their horses. They then came out to line up, set up a big flag in the center of the army, held high their pine oil torches, and rushed out like a winding fire dragon. In the forbidden area, it pointed directly at Zhongshu Province, making the sky as red as blood.
"Sir Chen, something bad has happened!" A clerk walked to Chen Tongpao's case with beads of sweat on his face. "There was a fire over there in the ban room. It sounded like there was a killing sound. I heard it was from the censor. We have raised troops and are fighting Lu Yingshan’s troops at the gate of Jinzhong!”
Although this was an unexpected thing, Tongpao Chen was not shocked, as if he had expected it. He raised his head slightly and said, "Okay, I understand. Shi Sijin, have you seen him?"
Seeing his calm look, the clerk felt a bone-chilling fear. He hesitated for a moment, and then handed over his hand again: "I was afraid of getting hurt, so I didn't dare to get close...I only saw Deputy Secretary Lu commanding from behind."
Chen Tongpao nodded: "In that case, you quickly go to the Zhongshu Province to tell Su Shenzheng, and ask him to summon the chiefs of various ministries and departments to announce the court's campaign against traitors and eradication of traitors, and issue a document ordering the withdrawal of troops. I will go to the East Palace to inquire about the prince. You should be careful about the news!" Although his expression was extremely leisurely, his movements were agile. After giving these instructions, he put on his official uniform and strode out of the official office.
"Open the door! Master Ye, open the door!"
Ye Yongjia was sleeping in the back hall of the government office when he heard someone calling him loudly. He opened his eyes in a daze and found that the window paper in front of him was shining with red light, which was very dazzling. Ignoring the stinging pain in his eyes, he sat up, opened the window, and saw Shi Xiushen's face, which was a little thinner than before. He was surprised when he saw strong men in strict clothes and armor standing outside the house. He grinned and asked, "What's going on outside?"
"I couldn't explain it at the moment..." Shi Xiushen paced, his eyebrows furrowed tightly, "Let me tell you first, Cun Zhao has launched a mutiny and started to attack the Liu Party. Looking at this posture, it's already Victory is approaching. I originally followed Lu Yingshan out to "fight the thieves", but I slipped away midway. I first took a few soldiers to protect the emperor, and then left the palace with the emperor. I have arranged for him to go out and be sent to another palace. Lived.”
"Then why didn't you go to the prince or Su Zongshan? Why... came to me?" Ye Yongjia asked doubtfully, holding the window sill with both hands.
"You yourself know that those so-called Qingliu are not gentlemen. If they take advantage of it and capture Liu Zhennian first, then the evidence about his crime will be arranged by these 'Qingliu'. In view of your previous You have been a member of the Liu Party for many years and are not popular among the government and the public, so you are likely to be framed and persecuted by them. I ask you to take people to the prime minister's house first. Not only does it mean that you will be punished for your crimes, but you can also completely block them. mouth."
"Master Shi, how can I..." Ye Yongjia held his hands, his eyes filled with tears. He had a lot to say, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say.
"Without any further delay, you don't have to say anything! Let's go!" Shi Xiushen patted his arm, urged him a few words, and then closed the window for him. Seeing the emergency, Ye Yongjia stood up in a hurry , wearing only half of the robe, he walked to the side door, opened the door, got on the horse with Shi Xiu Shen, and then put on the official robe.
"Let's go and take revenge for killing your father!" Shi Xiushen knocked on his back again and said in a stern tone.
