Chapter 840: Garrison the Imperial City

Sure enough, as Zhou Zheng expected, when Empress Sun proposed that the situation in Beijing was complicated and wanted to transfer Lei Ting to lead three thousand Xiaowu troops into the imperial city to protect the crown prince, Empress Dowager Zhang did not object, but was a little worried about whether Lei Ting could come.

To be honest, Empress Dowager Zhang doesn't want to do anything to stimulate Lei Ting now, she knows very well that Lei Ting is different from ordinary women, Lei Ting is not only a very smart woman but has also experienced the test of life and death on the battlefield, so once she thinks that the palace intends to deal with her, then it is very likely to force her to rebel.

This is not what Empress Dowager Zhang wants to see, as far as the current situation is concerned, since Lei Ting entered Beijing, the Xiaowu army has stabilized the army's heart, she hopes that this stable situation can be maintained, and does not want to be broken, so as to be taken advantage of by those with bad intentions hidden in the shadows.

Empress Sun thought of a good idea, that is, to ask the prince to give Lei Ting a Jun order to transfer troops into the imperial city, and let Zhou Yuting send this Jun order to Lei Ting, so that Lei Ting would not be able to shirk it.

Li Yuntian is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, presumably Lei Ting will never ignore the prince's will, which will put Li Yuntian and Xiaowu Jun in an unkind and unjust situation.

After all, now that the prince is the prince, his decree is already equivalent to the holy decree for Xiaowujun, and Xiaowujun is regarded as the emperor's forbidden army, how can he not obey the prince's decree?

Moreover, the two little princes of the Zhenguo Mansion are still by the prince's side, and now Zhou Yuting, the hostess of the Zhenguo Mansion, personally went to Lei Ting to send this Jun Zhi, if Lei Ting didn't accept it, she would be sorry for the Zhenguo Mansion and become a ruthless and unrighteous person.

Therefore, under this double pressure, Lei Ting has no other choice, she will definitely take over the prince's decree, even if she does not consider the reputation of Xiaowujun, then she must think about Li Anbang and Li Anyu, the two sons-in-law of the Zhenguo Mansion.

Empress Dowager Zhang felt that Empress Sun's idea was good, so she asked Empress Sun to give Lei Ting a military order to transfer troops in the name of the crown prince, and then summoned Zhou Yuting into the palace and asked Zhou Yuting to send it to Lei Ting.

After Li Yuntian's first seven days, Lei Ting returned to the lecture hall and handled the daily affairs of the lecture hall and the Xiaowu army in the public room of the lecture hall.

In normal times, Lei Ting was responsible for these things, so under Lei Ting's command, the order of the martial arts hall and the Xiaowu army was quickly restored, and the operation of various departments was carried out as usual.

Li Yuntian didn't like to seize power, and he didn't have the energy to pay attention to too many things, so he handed over the decision to the relevant yamen to deal with the affairs of the Wutang and Xiaowujun, and only the important affairs were reported to him, and the rest of the affairs were handled by Lei Ting and the chief officials of the various yamen.

Since the new chief instructor of the lecture hall has not yet taken office, and it is estimated that it will be vacant for a long time, in order not to affect the operation of the lecture hall, the seal of the chief instructor of the lecture hall is in the hands of Lei Ting, and it is taken out and stamped when the chief instructor needs to stamp.

In fact, the Great Seal of the Chief Instructor of the Lecture Martial Arts Hall has always been kept by Lei Ting, and Empress Dowager Zhang does not want to take it back now, because she found that there is really no one in charge of this Great Seal except Lei Ting.

According to the eunuch who accompanied Zhou Yuting in the palace to send Jun Zhi back to Empress Dowager Zhang and Empress Sun, Lei Ting knelt on the ground for a long time before receiving the order, and then accepted the prince's Jun decree with a gloomy expression, saying that he would lead troops into the imperial city the next day.

Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard this, as long as she controlled Lei Ting, then Xiaowujun would not cause any big trouble for her.

Empress Sun also showed a relaxed look, she had already thought about it, in case King Yue wanted to seize the throne, then Lei Ting would escort her out of the city, go to the Xiaowu army camp outside the city to seek protection, and gather Li Yuntian and Zhou Zheng and other people loyal to the prince to raise troops to Qin Wang.

As the empress of the Ming Dynasty, Empress Sun knows very well what the crown prince will face if he loses in the battle for the throne of the king of Yue, no emperor will let a person who is a threat to his throne survive, even if the Empress Dowager Zhang can keep the prince, but the Empress Dowager Zhang will always grow old one day, and the prince will be murdered nine times out of ten.

Therefore, Empress Sun will not sit still, she will make those who dare to disobey Emperor Xuande's edict pay for it.

As Lei Ting entered the Imperial City, Li Daniu, who commanded the artillery battalion and musket battalion of the Xiaowu Army in the Imperial City, was able to leave to pacify the Xiaowu Army.

On the evening of the day when Lei Ting led the army into the imperial city, he crossed the palace.

In the study in the backyard, King Yue and Ah Qiu sat at the table face to face and drank each other, and King Yue's recent series of behaviors can be said to be from Ah Qiu's handwriting.

"Ah Qiu, when this king ascends to the throne, the old country will definitely be relegated and you will be able to inherit the title." After drinking the wine in the cup, King Yue said to Ah Qiu with a smile.

"The prince's kindness is understood, my father did something wrong back then, so the matter of rehabilitation will be waived, so as not to attract criticism at that time." Ah Qiu smiled slightly when he heard this, picked up the wine glass and poured a glass for King Yue, "I want to ask for an invitation for the prince of Han, the people of the Han Wangfu have been demoted to commoners, and they are innocently implicated this time, and I hope that the prince can let them go, and it is also the friendship between the Han Wangfu and the Han Wangfu." ”

"Okay, this king promises you that he will not touch the people of the Han Palace." King Yue nodded, and agreed in one bite, the Han Palace's mansion had declined, and when Feng Chang'an, Wu Tong and others were wiped out, there was no threat to him, and he was happy to give Ah Qiu a favor.

"Mr. Aqiu, when this king ascends the throne, I hope you can come back to help this king, if you assist this king, this king will definitely be able to bring a prosperous era to the Ming Dynasty." Then, King Yue remembered something and smiled and sent an invitation to Ah Qiu.

"Lord Wang, I have already married a wife and had children in the Northern Yuan, and assisted the Northern Yuan in attacking the Ming Dynasty, and became a sinner of the Ming Dynasty, so I really have no shame to return to the Ming Dynasty." Ah Qiu pondered for a moment, and then smiled gloomily at King Yue, "I hope that the prince will be able to give his descendants a wealth at that time." ”

"Okay, this king promises you that he will definitely make your descendants become the dukes of my Ming Dynasty." Seeing that Ah Qiu's mind had been decided, King Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief and solemnly agreed.

Although the king of Yue invited Ah Qiu to assist him, but in fact he was full of vigilance against Ah Qiu, if he put such a terrible person as Ah Qiu by his side, he must have trouble sleeping, God knows what conspiracy this guy will think of, maybe he has the mind to control the government.

Now Ah Qiu has no intention of staying in Daming, which is a great thing for King Yue, and he is naturally willing to give Ah Qiu's descendants a wealth and prosperity.

"Mr. Qiu, now that the sixth lady of Zhenguo Gong has led three thousand Xiaowu troops into the imperial city to protect the prince, it will be more difficult for us to control the prince at that time." In the midst of the staggering, King Yue thought of an annoying thing, and said to Ah Qiu a little depressed.

To tell the truth, King Yue never imagined that Empress Sun's courage would be so big, and she would dare to reuse Lei Ting and Xiaowujun, you must know that Xiaowujun has a lot of resentment against Emperor Xuande because of Li Yuntian's death, isn't she worried about any accidents?

"The queen was forced by the prince." A smile flashed at the corner of Ah Qiu's mouth, and he explained lightly, "The queen must have felt the threat of the prince, so she thought of this method to protect herself, looking at the capital, there is really no one more suitable to protect the prince than the Xiaowu army, at least the Xiaowu army will not be bought by us." ”

Saying that, a look of disappointment appeared on Ah Qiu's face, in fact, the one thing he wanted to do most was to buy the Xiaowu army and play with the army created by Li Yuntian until it was destroyed.

But the facts were beyond his expectations, after Li Yuntian's "death", he once sent people to buy the middle and low-level military attaches of the Xiaowu Army, and the gold and silver treasures that had been tried and tested repeatedly in front of those military attaches suddenly lost their charm, and they were taken down on the spot by the military attachΓ©s who wanted to be bribed and sent to the Supervision Department for strict investigation.

If it weren't for the fact that the person who was arrested was just a pawn of Ah Qiu Bu on the periphery, and he didn't know the details of the matter at all, then the Xiaowu Army Supervision Department would probably have found Ah Qiu along the way, which made Ah Qiu secretly gasp, he never expected that the people of the Xiaowu Army would be so vigilant, and then gave up this attempt.

To tell the truth, Ah Qiu admired Li Yuntian's ability to govern the army very much, and he was able to make the discipline of the Xiaowu Army so strict, although he didn't want to admit it, but Li Yuntian was indeed much more powerful than him, if it wasn't for Emperor Xuande this time, he wouldn't have been able to kill Li Yuntian at all, let alone defeat it, I'm afraid this will become an eternal regret in his heart.

"Mr. Qiu, is there a way to drive the sixth lady of Zhenguo Gong and the Xiaowu army out of the imperial city, if they are there, it is not conducive for us to attack the prince." King Yue was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then asked.

He has been proud of this period of time, patronizing and busy with the big things at hand, but he ignored Queen Sun, because Queen Sun has no power and powerlessness and inaction in the harem is very mediocre, so he didn't put Queen Sun in his eyes at all, but he didn't expect Queen Sun to take this risky move, but it gave him a problem.

"Lord Wang, I think this is a good thing, so that we don't have to worry about any changes in the Xiaowu army outside the city." Seeing that King Yue was more jealous of Lei Ting and the Xiaowu Army, Ah Qiu smiled slightly, and said calmly, "No matter how strong the Xiaowu Army is, there are only three thousand people, they can't escape from the palm of our hands, as long as they are trapped in the palace, the prince can ascend the throne." ”

"As long as the prince inherits the unification, then the world will be the prince's, and then the prince will concentrate his forces to capture the prince and the two little grandfathers of the Zhenguo Mansion, and no one in the capital will dare to be disrespectful to the prince." As he spoke, Ah Qiu raised his wine glass and raised his glass to King Yue, and said with a smile, "I wish the prince to ascend to the throne as soon as possible and create a prosperous era for the Ming generation." ”

"Haha......" King Yue suddenly laughed when he heard this, he felt that what Ah Qiu said was reasonable, as long as he trapped the prince then he would win, so he smiled and raised his glass and touched Ah Qiu, "Then the king will present Mr. Ah Qiu's auspicious words." ”

The two then looked at each other and smiled, and then touched the wine glass with a "dang" sound, and drank the wine in the wine glass, looking quite high-spirited, what can be more rewarding than personally promoting the change of dynasty?
