In front of everyone's eyes, Shi Heng and Shi Biao's two uncles and nephews collided head-on, and the knives intersected.

Although Shi Heng could be regarded as a brave general in the army back then, although he was angry at this time, his momentum was really amazing, although Shi Biao only used a standard steel knife, not the usual big axe, and he was a little rusty when he wielded it. However, when the two collided head-on, Shi Heng was slashed by his nephew and fell to the ground.

Under the light of the flickering torches, many people could see clearly, and the moment the two approached, Shi Heng stabbed Shi Biao in the chest with a sword. The latter, on horseback, only leaned slightly, let go of the vital point in his chest, and then quickly slashed out with a knife regardless of it.

Although he was still half a beat slower than his uncle in terms of moves, this knife was the last to strike, and before the opponent's long sword hit his shoulder, the knife slashed heavily on Shi Heng's shoulder, slashing the high-flying Shi Dashuai directly from the air to the ground.

The power of this knife is extremely great, and many people can even hear the thud of Shi Heng slamming to the ground, and some people's faces have changed, thinking that after eating this knife, Shi Dashuai may have to become two halves. But as a result, there was no blood on the ground, and Shi Heng also withered to the ground, not worried about his life, but the whole person was completely unable to move due to this heavy blow.

It was only at this time that Lu Zhen and the others could see clearly by the light of the fire, it turned out that Shi Biao had left a hand after all, and the knife he swung out didn't even take off the scabbard, so he didn't really hurt Shi Heng's life.

But even so, after this heavy blow, Shi Heng has completely lost the ability to stand up again, let alone turn over and fight again. And after discovering the situation of his body, his face was full of pain, and his whole body trembled, he knew that this time, he was completely finished.

There was no need for Lu Zhen or Shi Biao to give another order, and at that moment, more than a dozen soldiers from the Beijing camp rushed up and dragged Shi Heng, who fell to the ground, and someone found a rope from nowhere, and quickly tied him up and handcuffed him, escorted him to Lu Jin, and handed him over.

Although the bones of his whole body were in pain because of this defeat, and his face was covered with cold sweat, when Shi Heng came to Lu Jin, he still raised his head high, with a look of arrogance: "The surname Lu, the king is defeated and defeated, today Lao Tzu fell into your hands, I knew that there would be no good end!" ”

Faced with Shi Heng's stubborn attitude, Lu Zhen was not angry, but just replied with a sneer: "No, your fate has been decided many years ago." When you rely on your own merits, crowd out and kill your colleagues in the border areas, when you don't take the lives of my Ming people seriously, and only care about your own merits, you are doomed to have today's general ending. Even if God doesn't open his eyes this time, if you really let you and Cao Jixiang and other treacherous villains succeed, you will definitely die of sin one day! ”

Lu Jin's words are true. Because in the original history, when soon after this coup, Shi Heng once again participated in a new round of mutiny with Cao Jixiang. Unlike the seizure of the gate, the rebellion that followed ended in their defeat, and both men died in the end. Now, Lu Zhen is just getting rid of these two people a few years in advance.

However, at this time, of course, Shi Heng couldn't understand Lu Jin's words, so he snorted coldly: "Now it's up to you, just say whatever you want." ”

Seeing him put on a posture of a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, Lu Zhen also sneered back: "Don't you still understand why you lost?" As the saying goes, there is more help for the righteous and less help for the unjust, you Shi Heng have been perverse and done all the bad things over the years, not only God wants to accept you, but even your most trusted nephew has turned against you early. That's the root cause of your failure. If he hadn't abandoned the darkness early in the morning, reported all your illegal deeds to my Jinyiwei, and then used your name to gather soldiers and horses and rush to the palace to rescue, I am afraid that the rebellion set by you and Cao Jixiang may really succeed. ”

As soon as these words came out, it was like stepping on Shi Heng's tail, and he immediately became angry, turned his head to look at his nephew, who had already retreated to the side, and scolded: "You forget your ancestors and eat bastard things inside and out." If I knew that you were so two-faced and three-faced, Lao Tzu would not have used you back then, no, Lao Tzu should have killed you with one knife back then, so as to prevent future troubles! I didn't expect that I, Shi Heng Yingming, ended up like this because of you......"

was so insulted by Shi Heng, Shi Biao finally couldn't hold it anymore, and immediately ridiculed him: "Shi Heng, don't say it so nicely." If it weren't for the fact that I have this ability that is far beyond ordinary people, you would have reused me? With my contributions in the past few years, you can be as stable as Mount Tai in Datong, otherwise you would have been unable to suppress the arrogant soldiers there. But you're good, not only don't you want to ask the court for me, but you always suppress my credit, just so that I can always stay by my side and use it for you. Do you really not know anything about me?

"Also, how much wealth have you accumulated in Datong by stealing and selling military materials, but it all went into your own pocket, but you have even the slightest share with me? Everything Lao Tzu is doing now is based on his own ability, and it has nothing to do with you Shi Heng. If I had been under the command of other generals, with my ability, I would have been more than just such a small commander in the army.

"It is precisely because you are my uncle that my father asked me to listen to you in the future before he died, that I have always endured you, even if you were transferred back to Beijing for sin, I followed and didn't say anything. But what did you do to me when you came here? For the sake of his prestige in the army, he actually scolded me in public for a trivial matter, which made me lose face. I'm also a general in the army, don't I have to convince the brothers below?

"This time, you are even more bent on going your own way, only thinking that you can have a chance to get ahead, but you brought my entire Shi family to the brink of breaking the family and being punished by the Nine Clans. No matter how unfilial my Shi Biao is, I can't watch you destroy my Shi family, so I will cooperate with Lord Lu to make up for the big mistakes you made! ”

As the saying goes, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, in fact, over the years, many contradictions and resentments have been buried between this seemingly close uncle and nephew, but Shi Heng has not noticed it. Therefore, when Lu Zhen found Shi Biao to persuade him before, he would completely disassemble the two people who were related by blood so easily, making Shi Biao a key pawn in subverting this rebellion.

And Shi Heng, after listening to his nephew's complaint, the whole person was stunned. He was still full of anger, but at this moment, he suddenly calmed down. Only then did he know that what he had done to Shi Biao before had already made him resentful, no wonder he would ignore the relationship between the two and fall to Lu Jin's side without hesitation.

At this moment, deep regret continued to grow in Shi Heng's heart, but now, it is useless to say anything, everything has become an established fact. He finally had nothing to say, and lowered his head in despair.

At this time, Lu Jincai spoke again: "Your Majesty has a decree, today there is Shi Heng, the commander of the Beijing camp, who has rebelled and colluded with Cao Jixiang and others, and wants to rebel, so he will immediately take away all his official positions, and the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp are temporarily led by Shi Biao, and no more soldiers are allowed to leave the camp unless they get the holy decree!" ”

When the sergeants heard this, they fell to their knees and shouted, "Yes!" ”

The sound was not small, and it went straight into the sky, and it startled the birds that flew over the barracks early in the morning.

At this time, the east was white, and a golden-red light was slowly emerging from the horizon, and the long night was finally coming to an end.

After Lu Zhen pacified the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Beijing battalion, he turned to look at Shi Biao again: "General Shi, this time you saved the chaos and calmed the chaos, and the credit is naturally not small. But now the top priority is to guard the Beijing camp, in case there are any more variables, but it is hard for you. ”

"Lord Lu is polite, this is all within the general's responsibility." Shi Biao had calmed down at this time, and he could no longer see the angry and resentful look just now, and he gave it up. Then he hesitated and said: "It's just that the last general still has one more thing to ask for, although my uncle's sins are unforgivable, but the rest of my Shi family ......."

As soon as he spoke, Lu Zhen already understood the meaning, so he comforted: "General Shi, please rest assured, although Shi Heng deserves to die, but fortunately, you have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and you have made such a great achievement." Presumably, the Son of Heaven will definitely not be more involved in your Shi family, even if some of them will be convicted, they should be Shi Heng's immediate family. The official will also try his best to persuade His Majesty not to anger innocent people. ”

After receiving this assurance, Shi Biao finally breathed a sigh of relief: "In this way, the last general will thank you for speaking up." Dozens of members of my Shi family will be grateful for the virtue of the adult's support. ”

"The general is serious, you have saved me before, this is what I should do." After a pause, Lu Zhen said again: "Now the people in Beijing are still panicking, and this official has to go to calm the people's hearts and let hundreds of officials enter the court, and everything here will be entrusted to you." ”

"Don't worry, sir." Shi Biao hurriedly surrendered, bent down and sent Lu Zhen and a group of his subordinates to leave the barracks at a gallop.

After they were completely gone, Shi Biao straightened his waist, glanced at Shi Heng, who was already colorless and in a sluggish state at this time, with a complicated face, and after a little hesitation, he sighed and waved his hand: "Keep him carefully guarded, and no one will be allowed to contact him." He knew very well that this time, his uncle would inevitably die. However, he will end up in such a tragic end, and he is mostly to blame, and he is finally smart and did not follow him to this dead end.

With Shi Heng temporarily detained in Jingying, and with Cao Jixiang arrested in the palace, this change that was likely to change the future historical trend of the Ming Dynasty finally came to an end.

As a result, a brand-new and unpredictable Ming Dynasty has appeared on the river of history......
