104 Chapter one and four

It is rare for Jingchen not to reprimand Jing Shao for his reckless words, but to be silent for a long time. If the imperial decree was not issued by Emperor Hongzheng, then the four princes would usurp the throne, and their princes outside should go back to the Qingjun side; if the imperial decree was true, if Emperor Hongzheng was really suspicious of him this time, then returning to the capital alone would be a dead end.

Mu Hanzhang looked at Jing Shao and sighed lightly: "This is the end of the matter, and only by letting go can we find a chance."

With Prince Rui's aptitude, he was naturally the best candidate for the crown prince. He originally thought that as long as they acted cautiously and kept a low profile, Emperor Hongzheng would naturally be able to ascend to the throne after a hundred years, but he did not expect such a disaster. However, since ancient times, royal seizing the throne has rarely been peaceful. Isn't the preparation they made before just to prevent this day?

Jing Shao understood the meaning in his eyes, held the slender and lustrous hand, and then looked at his brother who was as calm as a mountain. This time, he was in control of the military, and he would definitely be able to protect the two of them well.

"Go back," Jing Chen finally spoke, his voice was calm and reassuring to hear, "I'd rather be jade broken than tiles!"

Without further ado, Jing Shao left 30,000 of the 80,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangnan, the remaining 50,000 plus his own 5,000 personal soldiers, and personally escorted his brother back to Beijing. Gu Huaiqing also wanted to follow, but was unanimously rejected by the other three. Now Emperor Hongzheng is suspicious. If he sees King Huainan, then Jingchen has no choice but to force the palace to seize the throne.

The Huainan feudal position is unique. Starting with it, you can go straight to Huanglong. If the army wants to capture the capital, there is basically no natural danger.

Jing Shao has never understood why Taizu gave such a dangerous fief to the ancestors of the Huainan King, but no matter what he was, the "defect" that Taizu left now has greatly benefited him.

As they expected, there were constant people intercepting and killing them along the way, but the small group of soldiers were not worth mentioning in front of the army at all. Hearing this in the capital, the eldest prince led troops to block Cheng Wang's army.

"What is the strength of the first prince?" Jing Chen sat on the carriage and asked Mu Hanzhang who had just got in.

"It's less than 30,000." Mu Hanzhang, who was used to seeing Jingshao fighting, was not too worried.

Jingchen put down the book in his hand, pondered for a moment, and nodded slightly.

"Brother, but what did you see?" Mu Hanzhang couldn't help asking when he saw him thinking.

"If the army in the Central Plains is dispatched by the emperor, at least 80,000 people can be dispatched." Jing Chen saw that he understood instantly, with a little satisfaction in his eyes, and said a few more words about the distribution and dispatch of Dachen's troops.

In the past few days, Mu Hanzhang shared the carriage with Jingchen most of the time. The two of them didn't talk much, but the occasional conversation can benefit each other a lot, especially Mu Hanzhang, who has a deep understanding of the emperor's ingenuity. After a deeper understanding, also realized that what Jingchen had learned since he was a child was really the way of being a king.

"Jing Shao is good at fighting, but he doesn't know anything about other things. Since you decide to spend this life with him, you have to take more care of it." Jing Chen looked at his brother's figure in the distance, and said blame in his voice. It is full of maintenance.

"Brother, you can rest assured that this brother will not bully him." These days, he has been very close to this elder brother, and Mu Hanzhang couldn't help but tease him.

Jingchen glanced at him and slowly revealed a faint smile.

"Grey~" The neighing sound of a horse sounded, and Jing Shao shouted loudly from outside the carriage: "Brother, Jun Qing, come and see what I have caught!"

When the two heard the sound, they got off the carriage, and they saw Jing Shao standing outside the carriage, with a man tied into a zongzi by hemp rope at his feet, staring at them gloomily, but it was the First Prince Jingrong!

"Brother Huang, is the father poisoned?" Jing Chen looked at the people on the ground quietly and said solemnly.

"Hmph, if you commit trouble, you can't die!" The eldest prince sneered, without denying it, his eyes were full of resentment and madness.

Jing Chen closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Kill the king and kill the father, you guys are just crazy!"

"You really know how to throw dirty water. Everyone knows that you can't wait to be enthroned. Besides poisoning your father and emperor, do you still want to kill your brother?" The eldest prince was about to pounce on Jingchen when he was struggling. Kicked down.

"It just so happened that Jingyu sent a prison cart to me. Now, let's pass it on to the eldest brother." Jing Shao picked up the person on the ground, threw it to Zhao Meng, and pointed to the prison cart not far away. The one that came.

Zhao Meng was unequivocal, lifted Jing Rong with one hand and carried it on his shoulders, and strode towards the prison van.

"There are only two carriages in the army. Prince Rui and Lord Hou have to share one, and give it to His Royal Highness alone. It's true that our prince's house is kind-hearted." You Hujun followed over to join in the fun, watching the first prince With the expression on his face about to pounce and bite, he couldn't help but stab him.

"If Hao Dadao isn't here, you will be arrogant again." Zhao Meng threw the man into the prison cart and closed the door with a sound. Among them, Hao Dadao was the most upright.

Zuo Hujun stood silently watching the two of them bicker, and stepped forward to lock the big lock on the prison cart.

Jing Shao, if they were wrong this time, they would be chaotic, and the generals who followed his generals did not live. Therefore, although Hao Dadao was unwilling, he would still be kept by Jing Shao in Jiangnan. If they fail, they will fail. It is not implicated too deep. However, Zhao Meng and the guards of the left and right of them said that everything had to be followed. After all, they were the kings of the king from beginning to end, and they could not escape the department.

Jing Chen glanced at the noisy generals and turned into a carriage again. The road is far away, the situation is critical, and there is no time to waste them.

"Boldly becoming king, dare to take the army back to Beijing!" One hundred miles outside the capital was the military power of Maogong.

Jing Shao glanced at Mao Guogong, and his title was the highest in the public, so the military power in his hands was closest to the imperial city. Then he chose to marry his family, which is really a wise move, but ... see the lack of Mao Guogong behind him. Ten thousand people are not enough to watch.

"This king heard that someone was committed to chaos, returned to Beijing, and cleared the rape for his father." Jing Shao pointed at Mao Guogong's nose with a silver gun, and said straightforwardly.

"Huh, your brothers have two muttering power usurping. The emperor already knows that I advise you to abandon the armor to surrender and return to the palace with the old minister. Essence

"The army returned to Beijing, and the father was known. Mao Guogong might as well take out his father's hand. My brothers arrested themselves." Jing Chen stood on the carriage and looked at Mao Guogong coldly.

"Be careful!" Mu Hanzhang heard the sound of breaking the wind and pushed Jingchen, and Jing Chen immediately reacted, hugging Mu Hanzhang who did not rush to avoid, and the two rolled to the ground, a black black The arrows were nailed straight at the position of the standing side of the other side.

"Hmm ..." Mu Hanzhang got up, Yingrun's palm was scratched by the stones on the ground, blood overflowed, and quickly stained the sleeves of snow -colored sleeves.

"Jun Qing!" Jing Shao turned back to see his princess was injured, and suddenly the fire was furious, and when he turned back, Maogong had brought troops to kill.

Jing Shao looked away from Mao Guogong's chopping, turned around and threw him fiercely at him. When Mao Guogong returned his hand, he blocked the silver gun with the back of the knife. ring.

The left and right guards did not step forward to fight, but instead firmly guarded on both sides of the carriage, and the cavalry rushed over under the knife.

Jing Chen pulled his brother and climbed up, Mo Yun's eighteen riders quickly stepped forward to surround the two, plus the cavalry of the left and right guards, forming an indestructible barrier.

When Mao Guogong was young, he was also fighting for many years. The high strength of martial arts was comparable to the prince who was negligible to practice. Jing Shao should not be easy to take care of it.

The big knife of the Qinglongwen was flexible like the left arm and right arm, and it seemed to have the power to chop and chopped. Jing Shao connected several tricks with a gun, and was numb. The shining blade scratched the silver gun, making a harsh sound. Jing Shao flipped the silver gun and stuck the blade with a gun head.

"Is Wang Ye really thought that he was the first general of Dachen?" Mao Guogong looked at Jing Shao with contempt. In their old ministers, Cheng Wang repeatedly led his soldiers because the courtiers did not dare to work, and they all pushed him to him. It looks so powerful in one person. In fact, when he encounters real masters, there is only the beating.

Jing Shao looked at Mao Guogong coldly, seemed to be exhausted, and his hand holding the silver gun was shaking slightly. Mao Guogong's eyes were even more colorful, and he became more and more oppressed. Seeing that the silver gun was bent, the blade had to touch Jing Shao's neck, and suddenly he heard a "brush" sound, by the sound of blood spurting.

Mao Guogong stunned for a moment, slowly bowed his head, watching his waist and abdomen that he was opened by the sharp sword, and failed to respond.

Jing Shao held a gun with one hand, and patted it horizontally, and Ma Guogong fell off his horse. The left hand was thrown on the blood beads on the long sword, and the income of the scabbard. The armor worn by the old man from the head to the feet, even the neck was protected, and it worshiped him for a long time to see that there was a cloth connected in the waist. Gap.

"Mao Guogong has fallen into the weapon quickly, otherwise it will be reversed!" Jing Shao spread all over the eight directions with the voice of internal force. Vibrate.

After this war stopped, Jing Shao quickly rushed to the carriage, squeezed the Mo Yun Eighteen riding, and hugged his princess over: "Where is the injury and show me."

"It doesn't matter, it is scratching," Mu Hanzhang raised his left hand to show him. "The purpose of Mao Guogong is to kill his brother, and it is definitely not the meaning of the father."

"The injury is so deep, no, you have to use that medicine, otherwise it should be left." Jing Shao didn't listen at all, and was skillfully disassembled the bandage and then applied the medicine again.

Jing Chen silently glanced at the younger brother of "I have a daughter -in -law", and turned to ask Mo Yun's eighteen riding: "Before going out of the imperial city, what can Father Emperor give you an explanation?"

The eighteen big men in black looked at each other, one of which replied: "Back to King Rui, the emperor only said that I would wait for His Royal Highness, and nothing else said nothing."

"The imperial purpose said that the king conspiracy is rebellious, do you still have to protect the king?" Jing Chen looked at the speaker deeply. He never asked these eighteen people on the way, and they have been following. Because of their eighteen people, he made him determine that his father was not really going to kill him. Now he is going to enter Beijing soon. Beijing is definitely very dangerous. He must confirm the position of these eighteen people again.

Jing Shao quietly looked at the Zuo Guard outside the outside. Once the eighteen riding was loyal, he immediately stunned them under the knife.

"I have never received any other orders, and eighteen people in their subordinates will protect His Highness." The man responded without hesitation.

Mo Yun's eighteen riding said in unison: "Oath to protect His Royal Highness Rui!"

Jing Chen was slightly pushed, and these people did not change their loyalty in front of Jing Shao's army. They insisted that they only listened to the emperor, so the meaning of the father emperor was very clear.

"The army can't be within a hundred miles of the capital, so let them be stationed here." Jing Chen raised his head and said to Jing Shao.

Jing Shao frowned, Duke Mao was dead, and there was really no troops around the capital. However, there were still 10,000 Imperial Forest troops in the capital: "Zhao Meng and the army stay here, and the army will follow this king for another 50 miles to the camp." Fifty miles south of the city is the place where Jing Shao rectifies his troops before each expedition.

When we reached the fifty-mile camp, it was the next morning. Jing Shao actually didn't want to let the army stay. After all, it was not clear what the situation in Beijing was. He patted the person who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and wanted to discuss with him how to persuade his brother.

The slender eyelashes trembled, and Mu Hanzhang slowly opened his eyes. Before he said anything, there was the sound of horses' hooves not far away. Looking closely, the Minister of War was actually rushing over with a group of forbidden troops.

"Wei ministers have seen Prince Rui, Prince Cheng, and Marquis Wenyuan!" Sun Shangshu dismounted and saluted.

"Sun Shangshu, what's going on?" Jing Shao asked. After so many days, he finally saw someone on his side. The Minister of War signaled the forbidden army behind him to wait for a while, and walked to Jingchen's carriage. Jing Shao immediately drove his horse to get close, but he did not dismount, but stood behind him.

"I don't know about Wei Chen," Sun Shangshu said in a low voice, "The emperor did not go to court for several days, so he sealed all the news. A few days ago, the fourth prince suddenly announced that he would take over the role of supervising the country."

"Then, the lord is here today..." Mu Hanzhang frowned, but he didn't know who ordered Sun Shangshu to come.

"It's the emperor's will." Sun Shangshu replied immediately, took out a hand letter from his sleeve, and handed it to Jingchen with both hands.

Jingchen took a closer look and found that it was indeed Emperor Hongzheng's handwriting. They asked the two brothers to place their soldiers at the fifty-li camp and enter the palace alone.

Jing Shao frowned, quietly stuffed a soldier talisman into the palm of the person in his arms, and whispered in his ear: "You will take the left and right guards to the forest in a while, and once I let off the fireworks, you will lead the soldiers to rush in. in the palace."

Mu Hanzhang's eyes widened, he quietly hid his hand in his sleeve, nodded slowly, and squeezed Jingshao's palm lightly: "Be careful in everything."

Since it was Emperor Hongzheng's will, they couldn't resist. Jing Shao left Xiao Hei to his own princess, got into his brother's carriage, and only took Mo Yun eighteen to the imperial city.

The entire palace was silent, and the guard's face was very serious. When he got off the carriage, he saw An Xian, the eunuch chief beside Emperor Hongzheng, standing quietly outside the carriage.

"The two highnesses, please come with the servants." An Xian rarely lost a smile on his face, and he didn't say much. He directly led the two to the palace of Emperor Hongzheng. No one stopped him when he followed.

At the foot of the jade steps, An Xian did not lead the two up, but left the eighteen cavalry at the foot of the steps and led the two of them through the side door behind the main hall. There were eight tall guards inside the door. Then, let the two of them remove all the weapons from their bodies.

Jing Shao frowned, and was about to lose his temper when his brother held his arm, signaling him not to act rashly, and then handed over the small porcelain bottle in his arms to An Xian: "This is what the royal father told this king to look for, I'll take my trouble to give it to you. Father."

The two took off all their weapons, not even the jade belt on their bodies, so they walked in in loose clothes.

"Kangdang!" The door behind him slammed shut, Jing Shao saw the situation in front of him clearly, and all the hairs on his body stood up.

In front of them is a long corridor, with candles lit on both sides that are not dim, but without weapons, on this narrow road, if there is any mechanism here, the two of them will die without a place to be buried.

Jingchen also raised a heart and got closer to his brother: "don't panic, let's go out quickly."

Jing Shao nodded: "I'll go ahead, my brother will walk next to me!" With a click, he broke off a candlestick embedded in the wall. The hollow brass candlestick was about a foot long. It was not a good weapon, it was better than nothing. .

Jingchen nodded, really got close to his brother, and rushed towards the end of the corridor.

In fact, the corridor is not very long, but in this situation, it feels extremely long. As soon as it came to the end, the wooden door opened by itself. Jing Shao instantly blocked the candlestick in front of him, and the light from outside the door came in, which excited two people The man squinted, and when he saw the situation in the house, he immediately threw the candlestick to his feet.

At the end of the corridor, it turned out to be the inner room of Emperor Hongzheng's bedroom. The two walked in and faced Emperor Hongzheng's bed.

"I haven't come yet." Emperor Hongzheng leaned on the head of the bed and glared at Jing Shao.

The brothers hurried over and knelt down in front of the bed to salute.

An Xian was already standing at the head of the bed, and there was another imperial physician who was holding the small porcelain bottle for examination.

"Jingshao, did you kill Duke Mao yesterday?" Emperor Hongzheng didn't watch the imperial doctor's actions, he leaned on the big welcoming pillow at the head of the bed and closed his eyes.

"Yes," Jing Shao lowered his head, "Mao Guogong led his troops to stop Erchen from entering the capital, intending to assassinate the emperor's brother, and Erchen had to behead him." Saying this, he did not mean to admit his mistake.

Emperor Hongzheng didn't say more, just asked: "What about Jing Rong?"

"Back to Father Emperor, the emperor and the army stopped in a hundred miles outside Beijing." Jing Shao replied, of course, he did not say that the big prince was in a prison car.

"Emperor Qi," the elder doctors over there suddenly spoke. "This medicine is the folk blindness. A small amount of food can stop the high fever, but the medicine is fierce. ! "He kneeling down and wept suddenly.

Emperor Hong Zheng opened his eyes and looked at the two brothers kneeling in front of the bed quietly.

Jing Chen raised his head, looked at the Taiyi in shock, and looked at Emperor Hong Zheng.

Jing Shao was also a little embarrassed.

"Your mother was this poison that year," Emperor Hong Zheng took the little porcelain bottle carefully, and ignored the two brothers who were hit by a lightning. "Now, I can't escape."

"Father Emperor!" Jing Shao shouted, and Emperor Hongzheng in the last life was obviously living longer than his son. What is going on now?

"Jing Shao, you have been fighting for the royal family for many years. Throughout the entire Dachen, no one is your opponent," Emperor Hongzheng's face is rosy, not in a hurry, not like a poisonous person at all. " Give you, can you be willing? "

Kaka Boom! As if a thunder was split, Jing Shao was really stunned now!

In the past life, he was worried about Dachen, and finally he fell into a bird! In this life, it was selfish and selfish. Now the father emperor said that he wanted to give him the throne, which was really a big joke.

Jing Shao was silent for a long time, and did not look at the expression of the elder brother around him.

"Why?" Emperor Hong Zheng stared at Jing Shao's eyes.

Jing Shao looked up and looked at the father emperor: "Children's ministers are just a general, and they know nothing about the country, and the children are in love with Mu Hanying, just to stay with him for a lifetime. Yu Erchen, I am afraid that they will be destroyed between the sons! "

Emperor Hongzheng looked at him for a long while, slowly leaning back, and his voice brought a trace of exhaustion: "Let's declare the purpose."

As soon as the words fell, they saw that the two walked out slowly from the screen.

Xiao Yuan was holding a long wooden box, looking behind Shang Shu without squinting.

The Ministry of Officials Shangshu took out a decision: "Cheng Jingshao, committed to retrograde, and detained in Tianjiang.

Jing Chen widened his eyes, and said, "Father Emperor!"

Emperor Hongzheng waved his hand to stop him from speaking. Give Shangfang Sword, the prince and emperor can be killed! On the day of the new emperor's ascension, the hereditary town prince was sealed. "
