The suspect knew that he was surrounded, and trying to break out of the siege would be like reaching the sky. If he was surrounded by three or five inner court masters, he would still have the possibility of escaping, but there were dozens of people in front of him. The opponent is also equipped with fire guns and crossbows.
As long as he kicked the hostage away and tried to climb the wall of the rear mansion, the other party would suddenly shoot a cold arrow at his back. If he was lucky enough to survive, he would be captured alive. Dongchang's extremely cruel interrogation, he was determined to do so. Don't want to try it.
At this point, money has long been an external possession. If I can find a way to survive, even if I get out of the back mansion without a trace, it will be a rare blessing, and it will never happen again in my lifetime.
Maybe this is really evidence. Yaoji glanced at the money bag, then waved his hand to let someone pick it up: "Wrap it with a silk handkerchief, don't touch it directly with your hands!"
If this matter is true, Luo Yangxing really dares to play the game of jumping over the wall. Under him, the commander of the Jinyiwei, who is more than ten thousand people, has finally come to an end.
"Zhenghua!"
"I'm here!"
"I have ordered Wu Mengming to be promoted to the position of commander of the Jinyi Guards, and Luo Yangxing will be arranged after the case comes to light. If Dongchang encounters resistance when summoning Zhang Xuluan, it will be regarded as treason and the Luo family will be included. Arrest. If everything goes as usual, we only need to report that the Luo family is an official in the court and go to the palace to confront him. "
Luo Yangxing was highly regarded by his father-in-law. He had run Jinyiwei for more than ten years. By the time Yaoji's generation had reached the point where he had become the master, even if there was no trouble, Yaoji planned to replace him with the more obedient Wu Mengming.
No matter whether this case involves Luo Yangxing or not, Yaoji decided to make the case true. For a fat but disobedient vicious dog, the end result can only be "dog meat hot pot".
The reward for the brave guard battalion who defended the city should come from "luo dog meat". Luo Yangxing had been sitting firmly in the position of commander for so many years, and he got a hundred thousand taels of silver. Even if it was not enough, others If you put it together again, it’s almost enough.
It is said that after Luo Yangxing surrendered to Li Zicheng, he was forced to pay 30,000 taels of atonement silver before he was released. Later, he took refuge with Dorgon and was ordered to governor Tianjin. This would definitely have to send money to the braided king, otherwise who would I'll give you a fat paycheck.
It may be possible that the "llama meat" is not as fat as my cheap grandpa, but it will definitely not be a starving dog so thin that his ribs can be seen. It is true that he will become a bereaved dog after the story of the murderer was leaked.
Jingying is making trouble outside the city. If "Luogourou" escapes in advance, it will be really difficult for the people sent by Dongchang to catch him. Even if they learn of his whereabouts, if "Luogourou" really goes to join the Jingying camp, who knows where he is? There's nothing left to do.
This possibility is not trivial, on the contrary, it is very high. Yao Ji does not believe that the "Luo Dog Meat" who has exhausted all his powers at this moment can still lie on his bed and sleep soundly. If he is caught with such honor, It's so ridiculous.
It is not yet known how lethal the former Jinyiwei commander's collusion with the traitors in the Beijing camp will be, and whether they will cooperate inside and outside to open the city gate, but this is fine, there is a chance to catch them all.
Soon "Luogourou" will understand that if you want to keep your power and wealth, you will not be able to save the lives of your entire family. Regardless of your position, anyone who dares to go against a certain prince will not end well, not even one...
Yaoji turned his head again and looked at the suspect who was still arrogant, and wrote him a bad check: "Jun Wuxi, once it is confirmed that there are Zhang Xuluan's fingerprints on this thing, I will send someone to release it." you."
Let’s catch Luo Yangxing’s brother-in-law first. If you don’t catch him, you’ll be unlucky.
After throwing out the evidence, I got such a reply, but the other party gave up: "His Royal Highness is joking. I am in the inner court, how do I know what is happening outside?"
The prince was so young but had such a new opportunity, which really made him grit his teeth. This boy must be deceiving himself.
Believe it or not, Guan Bengong's nonsense, Yaoji calmly explained: "It's fair, one for another, if Zhang Xuluan doesn't come in, you can't even think about going out. If he really comes, you can naturally go out. But just letting you go like this, I can't explain to Aunt Tian and my fifth brother. For the sake of fairness, I will let you go at Deshengmen when the time comes, and prepare a horse for you a hundred steps away. After you mount the horse , I will let the four inner factory guards arrest you. If you are lucky, you will save your life, otherwise you will die, don't be resentful!"
I'm tired of hearing lies, but the game of Dare is still fun. If you can run away, you are considered capable. If you can't run, it's no one else's fault. Who makes you inferior to others?
This is not a real release at all, it is just a re-arrest of himself. After the suspect sneered, he specially reminded: "Huh huh huh! This is not bad. I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will keep his promise and not give laxatives to the horses!"
If he concentrates on escaping, he thinks he has a real chance of escaping from this land of right and wrong, and then settles down in a secluded place, never to care about the world again for the rest of his life.
This guy is really good at scheming. Yaoji put his hands behind his back and immediately replied: "There's no need, I'm afraid Zhang Xuluan has already left the city, leaving you, a fool, to work for him!"
Confucius said - He who works hard governs others, and he who works hard governs others.
You act as a swordsman for others, and you expect to cut off their wrists...
When the prince left this place, Li Fengxiang, the eunuch supervising the inner factory, reminded him in a low voice: "I dare to say this, is your highness really going to let such murderers go like this?"
In Li Fengxiang's view, as long as there is a chance to capture the suspect, he will not release him. At least he will be tortured to the point of being dragged out to Ling Chi, so as to serve as a warning to others.
The huge inner court was upset by one person. Yaoji was very unhappy and said what he felt: "There is a lot of waste in the inner factory, but I don't believe that the inner factory is full of waste. If it is only a hundred steps away, , four of them can’t catch one, so what’s the need for the existence of the inner factory? The purpose of resetting the inner factory is to prepare for a rainy day, not to make up for it. Now I have to fix it for you, the inner factory Everyone is planning to become a monk and fast? If this person has several accomplices, the imperial city will be burned down by them!"
After enduring the wrath of his little master, Li Fengxiang saw that the situation was not good and could not come up with any effective countermeasures, so he had to kneel down and plead guilty: "I deserve death for my crime!"
Yao Ji ignored this and continued to admonish the slave: "The inner factory is used to protect the safety of the inner court. If the inner court is not safe, it is the inner factory's dereliction of duty. As the admiral of the inner factory, you must know the authority and role of your subordinates, and be responsible for the inner court. Film management, if something goes wrong in any film, the person in charge of that film will bear the relevant responsibilities. If the management is in place, how could what happened tonight happen? I remember that you have always been diligent and loyal, so I will not care about you this time. Lesson learned. If similar incidents happen again, then I will stop talking about it and get up!"
If the inner court is unable to assume the task of protecting the rear residence in a short period of time, the personal safety of the nobles and friends in the inner court will be seriously threatened. Maybe one day when someone falls asleep, someone will use his own My head is sleepless...
Yaoji would be scared if something like this happened to him, so he had to be more vigilant. The chamberlains who came in and out of the East Palace were all old people from the past. It was impossible for new faces to intervene. The only ones who followed Sister Xi'er from Kunning Palace were Several palace maids are considered newcomers.
These girls can be treated with both grace and power. As long as they are diligent and obedient, they can earn a hundred taels of silver a year, and they will have the opportunity to eat delicious "leftovers from the imperial meal". Such delicacies are difficult for even princes and ministers to enjoy.
The meals arranged by a certain prince were extremely delicious even to the Zhu family's snackers, let alone the servants who had never tasted delicacies from the mountains and seas. Yaoji specially asked the imperial chefs of the Shangshan Supervisor to prepare more dishes for each meal. , so that the attendants around you can also mix rice.
If you stay with the prince, you can earn more money, and you can also eat delicacies that are not available outside. If you don't make a mistake, you won't be beaten. Such a master is something you can only meet but cannot ask for. If you see someone behaving badly, once you report it and find out, you can still get it. Get rewarded.
Old followers like Yang Jinchao will receive more salary every year and receive such generous treatment. Yaoji does not believe that the people around him will rebel, unless someone offers a sky-high price to buy them or their family is kidnapped by gangsters. .
"I will do my best to repay His Highness your kindness even if I die!"
The eunuch who oversees the inner factory is extremely powerful. From the perspective of ordinary eunuchs, Li Fengxiang only has awe for the prince and has never had any evil thoughts. This time such a big thing happened, but the prince did not punish him. It can be regarded as the most benevolent and righteous.
At this time, a wisp of fragrant wind suddenly drifted in. Yao Ji had already become familiar with the smells emitted by the three concubines in the Queen's Residence, and could identify them by smell: "Queen!"
When Empress Zhou saw Li Fengxiang waiting at the side, she didn't shy away from it. She was no outsider, so she directly expressed her doubts: "The Queen Mother has to report that the Yongwei camp is frequently mobilized in the outer court. Does Brother Xun know?"
As a queen, after her husband's immortal journey, the eyeliners placed in various places in the queen's residence can be activated. Although Queen Zhou only went to the court to listen to politics, she still kept a close eye on the three-acre land in the queen's residence.
There was just a fire in the palace, and it had been extinguished. There was no serious problem. It was a bit strange for the Yongwei camp to act because of this. It would be better to let the eldest son know about it as early as possible to prevent mother and son from falling into danger.
You can't cover up a rebellion even if you want to, and you can't block out the sound of artillery fire from the Beijing camp. It's better to tell the truth directly and make preparations in advance: "Mother, it was my son who made Huang Degong do this. Shicai'er I have received a tip-off that a mutiny has occurred in the capital camp outside the city, and I want to report it to my mother!"
These words came from the mouth of the eldest son. The beautiful biological mother had no doubt that he was there. After hearing the news, her eyes widened, her lips lifted slightly but she was speechless in shock. Her delicate body shook twice and seemed about to fall down. The maid beside her hurriedly Step forward to help.
Unable to scare the beauty of the family into fainting, Yao Ji hurriedly comforted her when she saw this: "Don't be anxious, Queen Mother. My son has arranged for Huang Degong's Yongwei Battalion to guard the inner city, and also sent someone to notify Sun Chuanting to lead the Qin soldiers to come to the rescue. I will send Zhou Yuji to guard the Meridian Gate, and together with the troops from the East Factory and the Inner Factory, there will be no less than three or four thousand soldiers and horses guarding the imperial city. I don't dare to act rashly because the Beijing camp is rebellious."
I don’t believe that the five scumbags in the Beijing camp can conquer the inner city and the imperial city before Hong Chengchou’s army returns to the court. Then their fighting power is more powerful than the two yellow flags in braids. They were all pretending before, in order not to Expose your true strength in advance.
As soon as he finished speaking, the rumble of cannons came from the south, and Yaoji cursed in his heart: Madan! You are so disrespectful to me. As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the sound of cannons...
Queen Zhou had just been relaxed after being told by her eldest son. When she heard the explosion, her nerves became tense again. She held the prince's little hand and didn't know what to do. As the queen of the Ming Dynasty, strategizing things was really beyond the reach of a woman like her.
Yao Ji touched the cold catkins and advised: "Don't panic, Queen Mother. There are sons and ministers here, and we will not let those rebellious people hurt the Queen Mother! The sons and ministers will arrange defenses everywhere, and also ask the Queen Mother to take charge of the queen's residence. Don’t let chaos arise in the rear residence.”
The enemy is now strong, and now they can only wait until the Beijing camp is defeated before cleaning up the rear residence.
Queen Zhou's pink face turned slightly pale. She was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses. After stabilizing her guilty conscience, she agreed: "Okay! Okay! The emperor has such courage, and the queen mother will feel relieved!"
Empress Zhou had no idea how to resist those rebellious people. The only person she could rely on was the prince. Fortunately, the prince was her biological son. She had returned from studying in the fairy world, so she would be able to cope with it. Until now, this was all she could do. Comforted myself.
"Fengxiang!"
"I'm here!"
"Except for the chamberlains who guard the suspects and protect the nobles in the palace, all the chamberlains, regardless of category, must assemble immediately. Fill the sacks with sand and pile them at the palace gate to defend against artillery attacks. Room 8 in the upper hall There are four people in the upper room of the small palace as lookouts. There are also people on all the walls of the imperial city to monitor external movements. If any abnormalities are found, report them immediately. Distribute weapons to the servants, and at critical moments, they must serve the country with loyalty. "
"The empress and your highness are blessed with great blessings, and they will definitely sit back and relax!"
"I hope so, just do as I tell you!"
Yaoji was not quite sure that the Beijing camp would attack the inner city after the mutiny, but judging from the direction of the cannon fire, it was almost certain that these white-eyed wolves were going to eat alone, and their target was the pile of silver in the imperial city.
Huang Degong's defense force on the south wall of the inner city is less than a thousand men. If the Yongwei Battalion cannot withstand the first wave of rebel attacks, then he and his beautiful mother will be in real danger. The situation is far from as optimistic as it seems.
I don't know how long it will take for Sun Chuanting to mobilize troops and horses after receiving the decree. The 30,000 Qin soldiers are the most important thing that determines victory or defeat tonight. Those Shaanxi general soldiers who like money hope they can still serve for him.
Otherwise, I will be useless before I can wait for Hong Chengchou's class. Daming can die five years in advance and save the pigheads from taking advantage. I don't know what the dumper will think about this...
It stands to reason that the Qin soldiers have just received their salaries, their morale is high, and the generals and commanders at all levels have received enough rewards, so they should not join in the trouble with those war scum in the Beijing camp. However, this kind of thing cannot be said too full of wishful thinking. Everything is possible.
Yaoji has 100% trust in Lao Suntou. As long as his general soldiers still obey his orders, the Qin soldiers can become the main force in countering the rebellion. It is perfectly fine to throw them hundreds of thousands of taels of silver as a reward afterwards. .
The only unknown was that Hong Chengchou would have really screwed himself up if he waited at Shanhaiguan for half a month after receiving the imperial edict as an excuse to wait and see the development of the situation in the capital.
It seems that for the sake of scapegoating the father, Lao Hongtou sent 20,000 to 30,000 people over, which is fine!
As the sound of gunfire became more and more frequent, Yaoji deduced from his own experience that the Yongwei Battalion in the south of the city should have started fighting with the rebels!
