Phoenix Hairpin - Chapter 635

[Chapter 635 The Wind Rises (1)]

It was just dawn, and in the Meng Family Army’s barracks, the soldiers had already got up and dressed and entered the school martial arts field for training.

As the general of the Meng family, the Marquis of Guangping has led the army for many years and has great prestige in the army.

The training is also quite strict.

Get up at five watch every day, and go to the school martial arts field with the soldiers to run and practice boxing.

The Marquis of Guangping could not leave the barracks, but he was always concerned about the situation in the capital.

When the personal soldiers sent by Mrs. Guangping Hou arrived, Guangping Hou’s heart jumped suddenly, he immediately took the letter from the personal soldiers, opened it, and his face suddenly sank.

He was not in the mood to practice boxing again, so he returned to the military tent with the letter, leaving only one confidant in the tent.

Guangping Hou sat in a chair and slowly read the letter again, his face uncertain.

The confidant said in a low voice, “Master Hou, is something wrong?”

The Marquis of Guangping nodded slightly, but did not make a sound.

The confidant himself remained silent.

The Marquis of Guangping stood up and paced back and forth in the military tent.

His brows twitched into Sichuan characters.

Apparently worrying about something very important.

Just wandered back and forth like this, and walked for half an hour.

The eyes of the soldiers were almost gone.

The Marquis of Guangping finally made up his mind, stopped, called his personal soldiers over, and gave a few words in a low voice.

After hearing this, the soldier’s expression changed slightly, and he said boldly, “Master Hou, this is not a trivial matter. If it doesn’t work out, the emperor will hold you accountable in the future…”

That is a felony!

No matter how much credit the Marquis of Guangping has made, he can’t help the emperor’s thunderous anger.

Probably going to lose his head.

The Marquis of Guangping twitched the corners of his mouth, without the slightest smile on his face, his eyes gloomy: “According to my order, send the order.”

The soldiers had to be ordered to retreat.

The Marquis of Guangping was the only one left in the military tent.

The Marquis of Guangping let out a long breath, and his eyes became more and more gloomy.

Emperor Yongjia suffered a stroke and could only lie on the dragon couch.

During this period of time, only Qiao Gelao and Yao Shang wrote to the Holy Spirit.

The rest of the courtiers could not see Emperor Yongjia at all.

How can a person who can’t even sit on the dragon chair of the Golden Palace be fit to be a prince?

Whether Emperor Yongjia likes it or not, there is only one way left.

That is to wait for the prince to return to Beijing and give way to the prince.

Soon, the Great Wei world will change hands, and all the ministers will bow down to the prince…

Ah!

Of course he was not convinced!

Thinking of him Meng Hui, he followed Li Yuan to conquer the world since he was young.

The people who have been killed are more rice than Li Jing has eaten.

The victories that have been won are innumerable.

He can bow his head to Li Yuan and be convinced. Li Jing is a stinky young boy, why should he be above him?

Just because he is the prince?

snort!

A chill flashed across Guangping Hou’s eyes, and he clenched his right fist.

…

There are four major military camps in the capital, and the Imperial Guard is located in the imperial city.

The Meng family’s army, the Xingyang army’s Zhao family’s army, are located on three sides of the suburbs of Beijing, with different orientations.

The barracks of the Xingyang army and the Meng family army were about a hundred miles apart, and it took three or four hours to ride a fast horse.

By the time the news of the Meng family’s military camp reached the Xingyang army camp, it was almost evening.

With a solemn face, he hurriedly entered Lu Lin’s military tent: “General, there will be something important to report at the end.”

Lu Linzheng called the generals in the army to discuss the matter.

It was too late for the solemn communication, so I broke in like this.

It was obvious that something urgent had happened.

Lu Lin’s heart sank, and he first signaled the officers and captains to retire.

Weng and son-in-law were soon left in the military tent.

Zheng Zhong couldn’t wait to report in a low voice: “Father-in-law, something is bad. News came from the dark post that the Marquis of Guangping suddenly ordered 2,000 personal soldiers and left the barracks today. They should have entered the city gate by now!”

What?

Lu Lin’s eyes flashed coldly: “The Empress has a phoenix decree, and the generals are not allowed to leave the barracks without a summons. The Marquis of Guangping blatantly disobeyed the decree of the empress and led his own soldiers into the capital. What did he want to do?”

The palace was heavily guarded by the Imperial Guard, and General Liang personally guarded the Wenhua Hall.

The mere 3,000 personal soldiers could not make waves at all.

It’s just that the Marquis of Guangping disobeyed Feng’s decree and led troops out of the barracks.

He solemnly frowned and said in a low voice, “I couldn’t figure this out for a while.

However, in my opinion, the Marquis of Guangping must have a plan.

”

Lu Lin stretched out his hand and stroked his short beard, and quickly made a decision: “Zhengzhong, you go to order 3,000 people immediately. I will personally lead them out of the barracks.”

There is a time lag in the delivery of messages.

The Marquis of Guangping has now entered the city gate, and it is too late to stop him.

At this time, the reason for bringing troops into Beijing is to be able to take action in time, just in case.

Three thousand soldiers, not too many, not too few, enough to deal with sudden accidents.

The Xingyang army numbered 100,000, and Lu Fei took 50,000 to Jiangnan.

Fifty thousand left in the barracks.

Taking them out of the barracks is no different from raising an army to rebel.

Taking 3,000 soldiers out of the barracks was also a taboo.

However, before the Holy Spirit, there is always room for self-defense.

The same is true when the Hou Guangping ordered 2,000 soldiers to leave the barracks.

He solemnly responded without hesitation: “Yes, I’ll go to order troops now.” After a pause, he said in a low voice, “Father-in-law, let me lead the troops out of the barracks! Just something happened, The emperor condemned me, and will not implicate my father-in-law.”

But Lu Lin said: “The Marquis of Guangping goes out in person, this is no trivial matter. You have a low official position and low qualifications, and you are not very useful in front of the old fox of the Marquis of Guangping. Okay, don’t have to say anything, hurry up and order troops. , I’ll leave immediately!”

Solemn had to back out.

Lu Lin quickly put on the soft armor and wiped the long knife sharply.

Half an hour later, three thousand Xingyang troops rode out of the barracks.

The horses galloped, raising the dust.

Lu Lin’s face was as cold as ice, cold and threatening.

…

The sky was getting dark, lanterns were hung around the Zongren Mansion, hundreds of guards were patrolling around, and the atmosphere was condensed and cold.

After interrogating Yao Shangshu all day, he rubbed his forehead and left the dungeon.

Both Min Shilang and Zhu Shilang looked unlucky.

The Duke of Dongping County greeted him and asked in a low voice, “Master Yao, did the Third Highness open his mouth to confess his guilt today?”

Yao Shangshu shook his head with a wry smile: “His Royal Highness the Third Prince has a tenacious will, and I have only seen it in my life. I have exhausted all the means, but I have not been able to make him confess his guilt.”

Zhu Shilang was indignant and dissatisfied, and couldn’t help but complain in a low voice: “Neither torture nor forced interrogation. All kinds of means are useless. If it were an ordinary person, within two days, I would have him open his mouth to confess his guilt. .”

There are many people who are good at criminal trials in the Ministry of Justice.

Zhu Shilang and Min Shilang are also very experienced.

However, the noble prince who is facing him now cannot use punishment, and the method of tossing people is not suitable.

No wonder Li Hao could withstand such a frivolous interrogation.

Yao Shangshu glared at Zhu Shilang, and Zhu Shilang stopped his mouth angrily.

The Duke of Dongping was about to open his mouth to speak, when a guard rushed over with a panicked expression: “Qi report to the Duke, something is bad. The Duke of Guangping led people to surround the Zongren’s mansion!”
