Chapter 885: Forcing the Palace
Lin Weiye quipped: "In the near future, will your portrait be hung here?" ”
Xia Nan also replied with a smile: "The world is mine, and it is also yours, why don't you hang it up together?" ”
"No, no, no......" Lin Weiye waved his hand again and again, "I can't be the emperor, and I don't want to be the emperor, don't roast me on the fire, the core of the Qiong Navy is only you." Don't make such jokes in the future, there are so many people next to you, the speaker has no intention, and the listener has the heart......"
Seeing that Lin Weiye's face had changed, Xia Nan smiled and did not continue. I sighed in my heart, power is really an invisible knife, although it will not draw a gap between the two, but the friendship between the two good friends is still mixed with other things after all.
Although Lin Weiye is a typical person with high IQ and low EQ, he is still very sober in the face of such a major right and wrong. He knows very well that he is an auxiliary talent, compared to Xia Nan, he does not have the ambition and courage of the superior, and he does not get much support. Qiong Haijun has formed a vested interest group, and Xia Nan, as the leader of this group, is the most suitable person for that position, most people look forward to having the power of the dragon, and will never allow people other than Xia Nan to sit in that position, and forcibly ascending to the position will only end up in pieces. So, even if it's a joke, he can't afford it.
Both of them knew the mystery and tacitly avoided this thorny topic. Don't break each other, the two are still good friends with equal personalities, and both sides are more comfortable. For a moment, the two fell silent.
Sima De broke the silence and said, "General, do you want to break through the Imperial City in one go and reach the Forbidden City?" ”
In the old time and space, Xia Nanben was a native of Beijing, and he had a lot of feelings for this imperial city full of historical vicissitudes, he looked at Chengtianmen (Tiananmen), which was almost the same as that of later generations, and sighed: "Every brick and tile, grass and tree here is a wealth that can be left to future generations, and if you can solve the problem in other ways, you may not have to resort to force." Wait for me to come up and shout, and see what the people inside have to say. In his opinion, destroying Tiananmen Square is tantamount to a crime, and it also ruined the memories of his past life, and he will not come this far.
He personally stepped forward and shouted, "Who is stationed upstairs?" Please show up and speak. ”
A middle-aged man in eunuch clothes poked his head out, although the city tower was high and far away, he vaguely looked familiar, and he shouted loudly: "The eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch's palm print is high and potential." Anti-thief, today there is our family and Teng Xiang Siwei (Note 1) here, you don't want to take a step beyond the thunder pool! ”
"It turned out to be Grandpa Gao." Nanguan'er in the summer, is still an old acquaintance, "Father-in-law Gao, you can eat things indiscriminately, don't talk nonsense, don't rush to label me as an anti-thief, I just suffered unfair treatment, and I just want to come to the emperor to ask for an explanation." ”
"Bastard, did you take a large army all the way to the capital to ask for an explanation? This is clearly a rebellion! Gao Qiqian shouted, "If you are really sincere, let the army withdraw from the city, and tie up the Jinluan Palace with all your flowers to ask the Lord for the guilt!" ”
"Hehe......" Xia Nan smiled, "My father-in-law's words are wrong, if I do what you say, I'm afraid that what awaits me will not be the guilt of Jing Pleading, but the punishment of Ling Chi." What did I get by placing my army outside the city and entering the city with a great victory over Azig? Not only did they not reward me for their meritorious service, but they also mobilized the Beijing camp and artillery to put me to death. Now leading the army into the city is also a helpless move. If I were to rebel, what nonsense would I talk to you now, I would have leveled the Chengtianmen with artillery bombardment and killed all the way to the Jinluan Palace! ”
He beckoned, the army behind him got out of the way, and the 10-pound field gun was dragged up by the carriage, neatly arranged in a line, and the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at the city tower.
Among the potential eunuchs, Gao Qi is known for knowing soldiers, and he commands the forbidden army, of course, he knows the power of cannons, and his face changed at the moment. It's a pity that the Hongyi cannons in the capital are all set up on the outer city wall, and they were transported to Beijing by Yang Sichang last night, and they couldn't be brought to the imperial city in a hurry. After all, the walls of the imperial city are not outer cities, and they are not so resistant to beating, and there are many altars and jars in the area of Chengtianmen, and it is not easy to explain to the emperor if they are broken, so it is best not to fight.
In the face of the cannon, Gao Qiqian's tone was obviously a little weaker, and he asked, "Then what do you want?" ”
Xia Nan replied unceremoniously: "Actually, it's simple, I'm not a person who can't be unforgiving, hand over the culprit Yang Sichang, announce the guilt and then ask for beheading, the emperor will make an edict for his own crime, admit that he doesn't know people, and finally give me everything I deserve, it's almost the same!" ”
Gao Qiqian listened stupidly, where is this discussion, it is clearly forcing the palace, where is the emperor placed? After coming back to his senses, he excitedly pointed at Xia Nan and shouted: "You still say that you are not a thief, how can there be a courtier in the world who forces the Lord of Long Live to make an edict against himself?" I also want to ask Yang Butang, the military secretary selected by the Long Live Lord, the court official, how can you kill if you want to? How unreasonable! ”
Xia Nan said in no hurry: "Father-in-law Gao doesn't have to be excited, this matter is not up to you, let's go to the palace and ask your master." I'll give you an hour, at noon, and give me a response, and even if you don't agree to my conditions immediately, you must at least show sincerity and send someone to talk to me in detail. Otherwise......"
"How else?"
Xia Nan opened his arms and said imposingly: "Chengtianmen, Dong'anmen, and Xi'an Gates are all surrounded, and the three towns of Qionghai, Shanxi, and Xuanfu must get a satisfactory answer. Go tell your family long live the lord and let him weigh it. As soon as noon passed, if there was no movement, I bombarded Chengtianmen and went directly to the palace to talk to the emperor! You're not going to force me to get this far, are you? ”
Sweating like rain, such a threat is arrogant, but it is true. Although he is confident that Tengxiang Siwei is more elite than Jingying, he may not be able to block any of the three border towns, let alone the three together.
I couldn't imagine that the southern buns that were despised by me in Shandong back then would actually be killed under the imperial city with such a thunderous momentum today, and it was not something that I could compete with at all. Gao Qiqian glanced at each other with complicated eyes, and there was envy, jealousy, and unwillingness in his eyes.
After a long time, he let out a long sigh and replied, "Okay, as long as you don't use force before noon, I will go and report to the Lord Banzai." ”
