Chapter 940: Please Enter the Urn (II)
It is now the end of the seventh son in early October, but the lights in Cining Palace are still bright, and the Empress Dowager Jiang and the two princesses have not slept, waiting for the news from outside anxiously.
Due to the influence of her husband Xingwang Zhu, the Empress Dowager Jiang believed in the early years, but in recent years began to convert to Buddhism, at this time her eyes were slightly closed, holding a string of prayer beads in her hand, and there were words in her mouth, which was estimated to be praying to the Buddha to bless the Ming Dynasty.
Princess Yongfu sat on the right hand side of the Empress Dowager Jiang, with bright eyes and bright teeth, elegant and dignified temperament, and graceful like a bright flower shining on the water, but the gently frowning light and charming still betrayed the anxiety in her heart at the moment.
Princess Yongchun next to her yawned again and again, tears in her eyes, and she almost fell asleep on the back of the chair.
At this time, the old eunuch Hu Dahai ran in with a happy face, panting and said, "Queen Mother, there is news!" ”
Empress Dowager Jiang stopped chanting, opened her eyes and glanced at Hu Dahai, and suddenly felt relieved, the joy on the face of this old man should be good news, and said lightly: "What's the matter?" ”
Hu Dahai replied: "The British Gong Zhang Lun, Lingbi Empress Tang Shaozong, Guo Xun and Lu Bing really rebelled, but now they have all been arrested, the troubles in the city have been eliminated, and the emperor has sent someone to report safety." ”
Princess Yongfu and Princess Yongchun glanced at each other happily, and Empress Dowager Jiang patted her chest and said angrily: "It is difficult to draw the skin and bones of a tiger, and you don't know your heart." These rebellious ministers and thieves, my old Zhu family usually treats them well, but in times of crisis, they actually eat inside and outside, colluding with foreign enemies to plot wrongdoing, they really deserve to be destroyed by heaven and earth, and they will be cut by a thousand knives. Fortunately, Brother Jin is alert, otherwise I would be in danger!! ”
Hu Dahai said thoughtfully: "When the old slave first saw Xu Jin in Shangrao County, Jiangxi, he felt that this little scholar was extraordinary, and now he has become the pillar of my Ming Dynasty. ”
Empress Dowager Jiang was in a relaxed mood at the moment, and scolded with a smile: "You old man will put gold on his face, but well, Brother Jin is indeed the blessing of the son, if he hadn't saved the son back then, how could he be blessed to sit on the throne, and in recent years, Brother Jin has made countless contributions to the Ming Dynasty." ”
Hu Dahai hurriedly said: "The queen mother has said, Xu Jin can meet the emperor is also his blessing, said that the prince is a lonely vision, he stared at the prince to communicate with Xu Jin more, and also gave Xu Jin a handwriting, now I think about it, that is also the prince in the dark to bless the emperor, bless the Ming Dynasty!" ”
Hu Dahai's words are purely a serious, but in the eyes of the ancients who believed in ghosts and gods, it made people think it was true, because without King Xing's "Rain Lotus Singing Frog Picture", Xu Jin may have been asked to be beheaded, if Xu Jin is beheaded, is there anyone who has the ability to turn the tide and resolve the crisis of the Ming Dynasty?
"Amitabha, a drink and a peck, it is not predetermined, this is all cause and effect!" Princess Yongfu clasped her hands together and said softly.
Princess Yongchun sneered: "When did Sister Yongfu start believing in Buddhism?" However, Xu Jin didn't say that everything is reasonable, and all Buddhas and Taoists are idealistic. ”
Princess Yongfu's face was slightly hot, and Empress Dowager Jiang glanced at Princess Yongchun and reprimanded: "Don't be disrespectful to the Buddha and the Tao!" ”
Princess Yongchun stuck out her tongue, clasped her hands together and said: "Amitabha, immeasurable Tianzun, Yongchun is not more important, there is no wonder!" ”
Princess Yongfu almost burst out laughing, and Empress Dowager Jiang reluctantly glanced at her daughter at the temple.
…………
The Tartars outside the Xuanwu Gate are still attacking, and the "sound of fighting" in the city is also quite here. I replied on horseback, and my mood at the moment was the same as the horse under my crotch, snorting irritably, Zhao Quan rode next to me on horseback, his eyes were uncertain.
I Da and Zhao Quan both thought that with the cooperation of Neiying, they could easily break through the Xuanwu Gate, but they fought for nearly an hour and paid a lot of casualties, but they still failed to break the city, which made people annoyed.
"How does Nei Ying work, a bunch of useless waste." I Da watched the warriors under his command go one after another, both painful and angry, and couldn't help but scold.
"Soduo Khan is a little restless, the sound of fighting in the city is endless, and Neiying is estimated to be still fighting for the city gate." Zhao Quan comforted, but his tone was obviously not so sure, this kind of thing about sneak attacks is about quick solutions, and the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it is, Neiying has not been able to open the city gate for so long, it should have happened!
Just when I answered and Zhao Quan hesitated, suddenly there was a thunderous roar, it turned out that the Xuanwu Gate was slowly opened, and a man in black with a steel knife rushed out, and someone also waved a black wolf's head flag, but the flag waver was very unlucky, just waved the flag twice and fell to the ground with an arrow in his throat, and then, a team of Ming troops wearing mandarin duck jackets pounced out, slashing and killing the man in black, while trying to close the city gate.
Seeing this, I no longer hesitated, drew out my scimitar and shouted: "The city gate is open, the warriors on the grassland, rush, capture the Ming Emperor alive, and seal the captain!" ”
"Rush!"
I answered this side of the order, the Tartar cavalry like a tide, rushed to the Xuanwu Gate, the group of Ming troops who tried to close the city gate were probably frightened when they saw this, turned around and ran for their lives, only hating their parents for missing two legs, and they could still manage the city gate.
Bang Peng......
The two gates, which were only half-closed, were violently slammed open by the Tartar cavalry and slammed against the city walls with a heavy loud bang.
Xuanwu Gate is the city gate connecting the inner and outer cities, so there is no urn city, through the Xuanwu Gate is the long and straight Xuanwu Gate Street, can go straight to Anfufang Street, and the two streets are just crossed with Chang'an West Street in the middle, as long as you go east along Chang'an West Street to kill is the Zuo'an Gate of the Imperial City.
After the cavalry of the Tartars poured into the Xuanwu Gate, some of them yearned for the left and right, trying to attack the head of the city through the stone steps and control the Xuanwu Gate, while some of them went north along the Xuanwu Gate Street to Chang'an Street, and the target was naturally the imperial palace.
Catch the emperor and seal the captain, try to ask who is not impressed, not to mention that there are countless treasures in the palace, palace maids and concubines, beautiful and beautiful women!
The sound of the roaring horses' hooves was like thunder, shaking the entire capital, and the strong wind swept away the sand and rocks, which was really terrifying.
Xu Jin was on the corner tower at the moment, watching the Tartar cavalry sweep in like a wild dragon, and couldn't help but change color in shock, the Mongolian cavalry is unparalleled in the world, it is really not blown, just this momentum makes people frightened, if the Ming army encounters such a cavalry on the open grassland, it is estimated that it will only be slaughtered!
Yang Yiqing and Fei Hong next to him were not much better, they were extremely dignified, and the latter couldn't help asking: "Ziqian, can you confidently resist the Tartar cavalry with such momentum?" ”
Xu Jin's heart also rose at this time, and he was about to answer when he heard someone behind him shouting: "The emperor has arrived!" ”
Xu Jin, Yang Yiqing, and Fei Hong couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly looked back, only to see that Zhu Hou's kid was wearing a bright yellow five-clawed golden dragon robe, and he was on the top of the city under the escort of a group of big internal masters, and was walking towards the corner tower!
Xu Jin couldn't help but be speechless, you kid will come, why do you have to dress like this, why do you look down on the archers of the Tartars?
The faces of Yang Yiqing and Fei Hong's two old faces trembled for a while, and they hurriedly greeted them.
