"When there is something to do, we will start to act, but when there is nothing to do, we will retreat."
The shrill voice of the little eunuch sounded, indicating the official start of today's court meeting.
Fang Xiaoru, as the leader of the hundred officials, was the first to stand up and make an announcement.
Chen Kan had a habit of feeling sleepy every time he went to court in the morning, not to mention that Zhang Yong woke him up from bed in the middle of the night yesterday.
Now that I heard the court meeting that was like reading from heaven, sleepiness came over me like a tide.
There happened to be a thick pillar next to where Chen Kan was standing. He looked around the hall and saw that everyone's attention was on Fang Xiaoru who was performing in the center of the hall. Chen Kan leaned against the pillar and began to take a nap.
I don't know how much time passed, but after the six ministers reported the matter, a young censor suddenly stood up from the camp of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
The first thing he said was to impeach the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division for failing to protect the capital, which led to a large-scale vicious fight in the capital, the most virtuous place in the world.
Finally, Zhu Di was asked to hold the chief officer of the Five Cities Army and Horses Department accountable.
When the first censor retreated, the second and third followed, and the war had spread from the Wucheng Bingma Division to Shangyuan County Yamen and Yingtian Mansion Yamen.
Several censors impeached Chen Kan at the same time, and even Zhu Di on the throne could not help but frown.
What on earth did this boy Chen Kan do that was so outrageous that so many people hated him?
But the strange thing is that so many censors have expressed their attitudes in the hall, but no boy like Chen Kan has come forward to refute.
Could it be that such a big thing happened and this kid hasn't come to court yet?
How big is your heart?
Zhu Di squinted his eyes and began to look for Chen Kan's figure in the hall.
But after searching every corner, Chen Kan was not found.
Zhu Di couldn't help but murmur in his heart, did this kid really not come to court today?
Officials from Fang Xiaoru's line and many officials who had been snatched away from the Jinyiwei by the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division were no longer calm.
After so much has been said, the rightful owner should at least stand up and say something.
Fang Xiaoru also murmured in his heart, what is this little bastard doing?
But now that he was the head of a hundred officials, he couldn't turn around and remind Chen Kan rashly, so he had to wave his sleeves to signal Chen Qia behind him to stand up and say a few words.
Officials from Fang Xiaoru's group got the hint and rushed forward to defend Chen Kan regardless of why Chen Kan remained silent.
It was very lively with both sides coming and going.
Only Chen Kan seemed not to be affected by the turmoil in the court at all. He was sleeping soundly behind a pillar, with crystal drops of water hanging from the corners of his mouth.
Chen Ying was also curious, why did Chen Kanjin say nothing and let him throw dirty water?
Then, he couldn't help but turn his head and look in the direction of Chen Kan.
Through the layers of figures, Chen Ying could only see a wisp of crimson robes fluttering in the wind, but Chen Kan's figure was missing.
Chen Ying was stunned and couldn't help but rub her eyes.
This time he saw clearly that there was indeed a person hiding behind the pillar, but Chen Kan was not the only one among the military commanders and nobles who slept against the pillar.
So he couldn't be sure whether that person was Chen Kan.
until--
A big Han general outside the door hurriedly ran into the hall.
"Report, Your Majesty, it's not good. The Baochao Department was attacked by a large number of unidentified rangers. The guard sent a message and asked Your Majesty to send troops to support quickly."
"What?"
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
The ministers couldn't help but rub their ears, trying to confirm whether they heard correctly.
Zhu Di suddenly stood up from the throne.
"He Fang Xiaoxiao?"
"How brave!"
Zhu Di became angry and attacked Baochaosi, seeking death.
The hall suddenly started to boil. Chen Kan was awakened by the noise and couldn't help but ask an unknown official next to him: "What's wrong? What happened?"
After listening to the official's story, Chen Kan couldn't help but exclaimed: "What?"
Then, Chen Kan's expression changed instantly.
The cute girl with big eyes is still in the wooden villa in the nameless valley.
"not good!"
Then, Chen Kan suddenly understood why the fight last night and the assassination this morning gave him a very childish feeling.
"It's an attack from the east and an attack from the west."
Zhu Di was like a furious evil dragon: "Where is Ji Gang?"
"I'm here."
Ji Gang was also shocked. When the capital was attacked, the Five Cities Military and Horse Division could not abdicate responsibility, and when the Baochao Division was attacked, they, the Jin Yiwei, could not abdicate their responsibility either.
"Quickly lead the Jin Yiwei to Zhongshan for support."
"Wei Chen takes orders!"
While the two were talking, there was a figure who reacted faster than them.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude and take the first step."
Chen Kan's words were still echoing in the hall, but the figure had already rushed out of the hall.
Zhu Di was stunned.
Did this little bastard Chen Kan come to court today?
So where is he hiding?
"Your Majesty, the top priority is to quickly send troops to suppress the chaos in the Baochao Department. I'm afraid it's not enough to rely solely on the Jinyi Guards."
Ru Yu, the Minister of War, finally found a sense of presence.
Ji Gang, who had just stepped out of the threshold, couldn't help but staggered when he heard this.
He suspected that Ru Rui was thinking about him.
"Rujun listened to the order and immediately sent the three major camps..."
"Your Majesty, no!"
As soon as Zhu Di finished speaking, he was interrupted by Fang Xiaoru.
"Your Majesty, if we mobilize the army at this time, I am afraid it will cause riots among the people in the capital, let alone when the army rushes to Baochao Division..."
Fang Xiaoru's words made Zhu Di calm down instantly.
Mobilizing the army now may indeed cause riots in the capital. More importantly, even if the army is mobilized, it may be too late by the time they reach Baochao Division.
The Baochao Division was in Zhongshan outside the city. It would take at least an hour for the news of the attack to reach the capital. After the process of mobilizing the troops was completed, the day lilies would be cold before heading to Zhongshan.
Zhu Di sat back on the dragon chair and looked at Fang Xiaoru: "How does Fang Qing think this matter should be handled?"
Before Fang Xiaoru could say anything, the Han general who came to report the news spoke again: "Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness Princess Chang Ning is still in the Baochao Department."
"What?"
...
...
Not to mention the commotion in the main hall.
Chen Kan anxiously summoned his personal guards and was about to leave the city and rush to Baochao Division to rescue the cute girl with big eyes.
However, there was a huge flow of people in the city today, and it was impossible to break through the flow of people for a while.
"What are you squeezing for?"
"It depends on the queue behind the oiran!"
An Imperial College student looked back at Chen Kan fiercely, but when he saw the official uniform on Chen Kan's body, his expression suddenly changed.
"My lord, please."
Chen Kan was in no mood to argue with him, and just looked at the flow of people in front of him with a gloomy face.
Conspiracy, everything is a conspiracy.
First, he harassed the bank and assassinated himself, so that the civil and military attention of the court focused on the capital and himself.
Then sent dead soldiers to attack Baochao Division.
Finally, the oiran convention was used to attract most of the people from the capital to Nancheng, hindering the rescue time of the Jin Yiwei and the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division.
This is a big conspiracy.
The purpose is the new type of fire cannon deep in the nameless valley.
When he ran out of the palace hall, Chen Kan had already figured everything out.
Those who were blocked in the city by countless people were not only Chen Kan and the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division under his command, but also Ji Gang of the Jin Yiwei and his school lieutenants.
"Master Marquis, the road between East City and West City is also blocked by the people."
The news reported by Zhang San was like a bolt from the blue to Chen Kan.
This is the purpose of the Oiran Convention. Whenever an Oiran Convention is held, the elected Oirans will float on a painted boat from the upper reaches of the Qinhuai River to the lower reaches.
The crowd of onlookers will also move along with the drift of the boat.
These people are the best cover for the people behind the plan.
Chen Kan even suspected that the mastermind behind the scenes might be hidden in the crowd of people in the main hall.
Looking at the crazy crowd in front of him, Chen Kan gritted his teeth and shouted angrily: "Open the way!"
It was already too late to take a detour to Beicheng.
Now, the only option was to forcefully break out of the crowd of people blocking the road.
"Got the order!"
Fang Xu and his men blended into the crowd with a ferocious look on their faces.
"Who hit me?"
A young man, supported by a group of henchmen, was about to squeeze towards the river when he suddenly felt a sharp pain from the north.
When he turned around, he realized that his henchmen had been put down at some point.
Fang Xu was stunned. He didn't expect that this handsome young man didn't fall down even after being hit by his scabbard.
Then, a knife...sheath hit his face.
"The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department is doing business, and everyone else is waiting to avoid it!"
The captains of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division were like wolves among sheep. Soon, the common people blocking the road were screaming and wailing under the scabbards of a group of wolf-like and tiger-like captains.
Chen Kan started to take action, and later Jin Yiwei was not to be outdone.
Moreover, Jin Yiwei's methods were more cruel than those of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division.
Chen Kan's men just used their scabbards to clear the way, while Ji Gang, the bad guy, got a siege vehicle from somewhere and rammed it into the crowd.
A group of common people were filled with dead souls. They didn't care about looking at the oiran, and immediately scattered like birds and beasts.
"Jinyiwei is doing business, and the rest of the crowd should stay away."
"Be brave, my father Li Gang, what are you going to do?"
A young man who had no time to escape reported to the door with a panic expression on his face, but the Jin Yiwei did not accept this at all. Wherever the siege vehicle passed, there was a wailing sound.
"Son, run quickly!"
As soon as the servant who was pushed aside spoke, the young master was loaded into the Qinhuai River by a huge siege vehicle.
"Help, I can't swim...GuluGuluLulu..."
Scenes like this are constantly happening by the Qinhuai River.
Chen Kan looked anxiously at the chaotic crowd in front of him, feeling completely lost in his heart.
There was only one thousand-household station stationed outside the nameless valley where Baochaosi's main hall was located, and since the other party dared to set up such a trap, they would not take those thousand soldiers seriously.
Now Chen Kan can only pray to the gods and Buddhas in the sky. Those people will leave after grabbing what they want and not to hurt his cute girl with big eyes.
After lighting the incense, a gap finally appeared in the dense crowd.
Chen Kan now had no time to care about the people who were trampled to death or fell into the water. He just wanted to go out of the city to save people.
