readx; The British public Zhang Weixian was edicted to leave the house, which was the time when the lights were on. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf it is the Lantern Festival in previous years, the streets and alleys are already a lively scene of fire trees and silver flowers; But this year, because Xizong had just died, the whole country was in a period of mourning, and Wei Zhongxian ordered martial law in the whole city, so all shops were closed early, and the people also returned to their homes, and the entire Jingshi fell into an atmosphere of slaughter. The sudden dispatch of more than 100 people from the British Mansion is naturally very eye-catching, it can be seen that Zhang Weixian personally led the team, who dares to stop it easily?

Zhang Weixian's feet did not stop, and he went straight to the Zhongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division not far from the house. Because the Zhongcheng Terracotta Division is in charge of the most important gate of the inner city, Zhengyang Gate, as well as the four gates of the imperial city, as long as the Zhongcheng Terracotta Division is taken, the connection between the inside and outside of the imperial city can be cut off, and the palace can be quickly entered to protect Chongzhen.

The commander of the Zhongcheng Terracotta Division is named Gu Binghe, who is the younger brother of Gu Bingqian, an auxiliary minister of the cabinet who just left his post not long ago. Gu Bingqian and Wei Guangwei had a lot of trouble in order to compete for the position of first assistant, and as a result, Wei Zhongxian was offended and both went to work, but let the cautious Huang Liji take advantage of the loophole to become the first assistant. Gu Binghe learned a lesson from this incident and became more obedient to Wei Zhongxian, so Wei Zhongxian entrusted him with the important task of commanding the Zhongcheng Soldiers and Horses.

When he got the news of the sudden visit of the British public, Gu Binghe was very surprised. Because everyone knows that these hereditary princes have never asked about state affairs, and he himself is just a small commander of the Soldiers and Horses, Zhang Weixian came to the door on the night of the Lantern Festival, what could he do?

But after all, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, and Gu Binghe didn't dare to make a mistake, so he respectfully welcomed Zhang Weixian into the main hall and served fragrant tea. I saw Zhang Weixian wearing a thick fox fur, and he didn't take it off when he entered the house, and he didn't seem to have anything serious, just sipping tea while pulling with Gu Binghe, from the recent weather to the Wei and Jin dynasties of the Three Kingdoms, which made Gu Binghe the second monk confused.

After a long time, Gu Binghe couldn't help but get anxious, because according to Wei Zhongxian's strict order, he had to lead his troops to inspect the four gates of the imperial city every night, and this time could not be delayed. Seeing that Zhang Weixian had no intention of leaving, Gu Binghe had no choice but to smile and say: "Lord Guogong, there is an official in the lowly position, and you have to go to the four gates of the imperial city to inspect it first." If you are not in a hurry, and sit here for a while, wait for the humble post to come back and prepare a table of wine and banquet, and accompany you to talk about the past and the present, what about the public will of the country? ”

In fact, this is a euphemistic eviction order. Zhang Weixian listened to it, but twisted his gray beard and smiled: "Commander Gu, don't you hear Tang poetry: because of the words of the monks in the bamboo courtyard, I stole half a day of leisure!" The old man is used to idle clouds and wild cranes, but he is similar to a monk, and he is chatting with you speculatively, so what does it matter if Commander Gu is lazy for a while? ”

Gu Binghe smiled bitterly: "The humble position has the strict orders of the factory superintendent, how can it be compared with the Lord Guogong." As he spoke, he got up.

Zhang Weixian smiled mockingly: "Master Gu, you still sit here, and the old man of the four gates of the imperial city will inspect for you." ”

Gu Binghe didn't realize anything wrong at this point, and he got up and asked, "Lord Guogong, what do you mean by this?" ”

Zhang Weixian didn't answer directly, but turned to the door and shouted, "Zhang Zhiji! ”

Zhang Zhiji, who was dressed in military uniform, entered in response and bowed down. Zhang Weixian asked solemnly: "Have you looked at the four gates of the imperial city with the Chengzu iron plate?" ”

"I have looked at the four gates, and my subordinates have successfully taken over the city defense, and now they have brought the iron plate back!" Zhang Zhida replied loudly.

Gu Binghe was shocked and said in a trembling voice: "What... What iron card? Why did you take over the four gates of the Imperial City without permission? ”

"Show him!" Zhang Weixian snorted coldly.

Zhang Zhiji respectfully took out a plate-shaped iron plate from his arms and handed it to Gu Binghe. When Gu Binghe looked at it, he saw that this iron plate was not actually made of iron, but made of Ujin, with exquisite workmanship, and it was spliced together with four parts of the same shape and size. There are several lines of gilded small characters on it: "In order to prevent the future generations of Jingshi from making traitors and endangering the palace ban, the four lords of the British Duke, the Dingguo Duke, the Chengguo Duke, and the Qianguo Duke are each given a corner of the iron plate, which can be combined into one, and can mobilize the world's soldiers and horses to rebel." Officials of all sizes see the cards as if they see me, and they admire this! The first month of the fifteenth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty. ”

And where the four parts are spliced, there is a pattern of the emperor's jade seal. Gu Binghe had also heard of the "Chengzu Iron Plate" owned by the Four Kingdoms before, but he had never seen the real thing. I didn't expect to see it for the first time today, and this thing was used to deprive myself of military power!

Gu Binghe was covered in a cold sweat in an instant, he was a core member of the eunuch party, so he naturally knew the importance of the four gates of the imperial city to Wei Zhongxian. Zhang Weixian wanted to use this iron card to empty himself, but he couldn't agree to it anyway, so he pretended to look at the iron card carefully while thinking nervously.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he smiled maliciously: "Lord Guogong, such a thing is indeed an iron plate given by Emperor Chengzu, and he should be edicted by his humble position." But you see, the upper left, upper right, and lower left iron plates have worn out a lot, and the color is a little dull; Only the lower right corner is a new and shiny, why is this? That Qianguo Gong is far away in Yunnan, how do you get his iron card? Could it be that Lord Guogong actually got a fake iron plate and coaxed him to humble his position? ”

In fact, this iron plate was really imitated by Zhang Weixian overnight. Seeing that Gu Binghe saw the flaw, Zhang Weixian stopped talking nonsense with him, and immediately threw off the big gun, revealing the iron armor inside, and shouted: "Gu Binghe refuses to obey the edict, that is, he is a party of rebels, and he will take it for his father!" ”

Before the words fell, Zhang Zhiji's long sword had already reached Gu Binghe's throat. Gu Binghe didn't know martial arts, but he was much tougher than Cui Chengjun in the 3,000 battalion, and he still shouted hoarsely: "The British Gongzhang Weixian forged the holy decree and conspired to make trouble!" ”

As soon as he shouted like this, there were still many officers and soldiers in the courtyard, and at this time, they all drew their swords and went straight to the main hall. The Zhang Mansion family who was waiting outside the gate of the Soldiers and Horses Division also moved when he heard the sound, rushed into the gate, and immediately started a melee with Gu Binghe's men!

However, Zhang Weixian's side was prepared, but Gu Binghe's side was in a hurry to respond to the battle, and it was inevitable that he would lose the upper hand. In addition, there is a Yan Ling in the family, his martial arts are deep in the true inheritance of the Gusu Zhou family, his body is like a ghost, his shot is like lightning, and he will put down more than a dozen of them after a while, and the battle situation will develop even more sideways.

Seeing that the defeat was decided, Gu Binghe shouted in despair: "Go and report to the nine thousand years old and send the five military camps..."

As soon as he said this, Zhang Weixian was so angry that he took off his chin stiffly! Gu Binghe fainted in pain, but his voice also had an effect, and dozens of his subordinates ran away when they saw that the situation was not good. And Zhang Weixian's family members are not officials and soldiers after all, and the physical exertion in the first battle just now was not light, and they were powerless to catch up at this time.

"Hey! I don't want to leak the news so early! Zhang Weixian paused.

Yan Ling immediately said: "The eunuch will know sooner or later." Now it's too late to go to the east and west cities to pass on the edict to the soldiers and horses, for today's plan, only the soldiers are divided into two roads, all the way to defend the four gates of the imperial city, all the way into the palace to escort! ”
