Chapter 57: Ten Thousand Armies Pass

Flags and flags cover the sun, and swords and guns reach Wanfeng like forests!

Before we knew it, the sky was already bright. In the dim morning light, outside the imperial village, within a radius of several miles, they were surrounded by officers and soldiers. The components of these officers and soldiers were very complicated, including the Western Factory and the East Factory, the Five City Military and Masjids, the Jinyiwei personnel, and the Beijing Army brought by the Ministry of War. Various military soldiers were mixed together, fighting with various banners, swaying and stunning formations. The swords and axes were pressing the formation in front of the formation, the musket team guarded both sides, the archers were hiding behind, and there were even a row of cannons on standby. It can be said that in this battle, all the elite troops in the capital were released, like a grand military parade.

However, these soldiers may not know that they may not have any use in the next place. Although each of them is in a state of swearing to save the enemy and make achievements, the situation is better than others. Although they have arrived here, they can only silently witness the trend of history running forward.

At the front of the line, next to the gate of the imperial village, there was a row of people standing. The costumes of these people were all unique, and they were obviously all in high positions, and among them were an old man with a gray beard and wearing a civil servant robe. At this moment, they were all staring at the gate of the imperial village with all concentration, waiting for the people inside to come out.

Yang Tinghe was in a very complicated mood. At this time, he didn't know what to do. In a daze, he actually remembered the "Tumu Fort Incident". At that time, wasn't the emperor captured? That time, the country suffered a huge disaster, and finally cedeed the land, lost power and humiliated the country, and exchanged the emperor back. This time, the emperor stayed in the capital and became a prisoner again. He didn't know what harsh conditions the thieves would propose, and the country didn't know what sacrifices to make. Every time he thought of sacrificing a lot of money and land to exchange for an unused emperor, Yang Tinghe couldn't help but feel heartbroken, wishing that the thieves would kill the emperor with one knife, so that he could also reduce the moral burden and decisively lead troops into the imperial farm and crush the thieves into meat sauce.

Unsafe, absolutely unsafe. The emperor can be captured in the capital, let alone after he left the capital. Therefore, at this time, Yang Tinghe felt that even if Zhu Houzhao knelt down and begged him, he would never let the emperor go out of the capital, let alone let him lead the imperial army in person, which would only send the country to the knife. He was responsible for the court, the whole country, and the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the mind that he would never let such a thing happen.

"Sir, look, someone is out!" Just as Yang Tinghe was clenching his fists and holding his breath, someone suddenly let out a low voice, and then he saw a figure covered in full bloom and disheveled hair stumbled out of the gate of the imperial village.

Seeing this situation, several soldiers rushed up and carried the man over. When everyone saw it, they all said in surprise: "Eunuch Liu?"

Yes, the person who came out was Liu Jin. His hands were broken and he was highly poisoned. If he hadn't resisted the poison with his deep internal strength, he would have died long ago. Even so, he was dying at this time. Even if he could be rescued, he was afraid that this martial art would never be able to practice again. Since he was disabled, the power in his hands would have to be far away from him without thinking.

Unexpectedly, a generation of powerful traitors ended like this in the end, which really makes people sigh.

However, Liu Jin didn't expect this at this time. He only thought about one thing, that is, to be loyal to the emperor.

"Mr. Yang, don't do it, never do it. The emperor has an oral order, let you stand on time, and his Majesty, he will come out immediately!"

Liu Jin lay on a door panel and stood there carried by several soldiers.

"Eunuch Liu, what happened?" Yang Tinghe stepped forward and asked.

"Oh, it's hard to describe it. It's all our fault. Our family deserves to die—" Liu Jin burst into tears when he thought of what happened last night.

Hearing Liu Jin's words, Yang Tinghe's heart moved and said calmly: "What is your majesty's will?"

"No, no, those thieves just ordered our family to come out to pass the message, and there was no other explanation. If the lord is ready, he can just call someone inside," Liu Jin said, lay down powerlessly.

Seeing this situation, Yang Tinghe waved his hand, called a confidant, and then said to him: "Send Eunuch Liu back to the house, be careful to protect your father-in-law!"

While Yang Tinghe spoke, he winked at the confidant. The man immediately understood and quickly took the order and took someone to escort Liu Jin away.

Seeing Liu Jin leave, Yang Tinghe ordered people to shout into the imperial village.

After shouting, he waited for a while, and then he saw several figures slowly walking out of the gate of the imperial village. He was the first, wearing a brocade dress, holding a sword in his hand, and holding a little girl of five or six years old in his arms. Who wasn't Zhu Houzhao?

Zhu Hou shone out of the gate and stood there. Behind him were Liang Hong, Linghu Chong and others, and behind him were the members of the Five Poisons Sect and the group nuns of the Hengshan Sect. Wang Shouren hid at the end of the crowd. He was struggling in his heart and his consciousness was a little blurred. He never expected that things would end up like this. He didn't know what kind of life he would face next. When he thought that his family might suffer because of this, he wanted to die immediately.

However, everyone was not in the mood to care about him. What everyone was thinking about now was just how to escape from the capital.

"I am here to pay homage to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

At this moment, when he saw Zhu Houzhao coming out, Yang Tinghe immediately led his people to kneel down.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Houzhao glanced at it, said flat, then looked over carefully, and found that everything that was coming seemed to have come.

The left head is Yang Tinghe, Xie Qian and other groups of civil servants, and the right head is Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong and other groups of eunuchs, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers behind them. It can be said that the formation is amazing. The most important thing is that although they are large in number and have a very diverse composition, they are orderly and have a strong reputation. This made Zhu Houzhao look at it and feels secretly happy in his heart, thinking that the military power of the Ming Dynasty is still very good.

"Ahem, thank you all for your hard work," after checking, Zhu Houzhao cleared his throat and said aloud to Yang Tinghe and others: "Recently, I have been indulging in fun and have caused you all my loves. I will correct this mistake by serving the latter." Before Zhu Houzhao spoke, she criticized herself for a while, which was to appease the hearts of the ministers. Then he paused and continued: "But today, there is still something to bother you. You all have seen that there is a group of martial arts friends behind me, and now they have some small requests."

It's coming, and we're starting to make requests!

At this time, Yang Tinghe clenched his fists tightly, and his heart was filled with anger, almost hating Zhu Houzhao. Why do you think you, the emperor, are so unreliable? You can do this if you stay in the palace honestly? You have to run around and cause trouble. How could you look like the emperor? Are you going to be so angry? Yang Tinghe thought that if Zhu Houzhao was his son, it would be strange if he didn't beat him to death!

"Your Majesty, I don't know what your friends in the world have to ask for," Yang Tinghe was angry after all, and after all, he had to step forward to respond.

"It's very simple. Listen to me. I have issued an order to give them two hundred and fifty fast horses. Each batch of horses will be prepared for five days of dry food, plus fifty taels of silver. After you receive the order, you will go and prepare immediately. It takes an hour. If it is delayed, I will punish you heavily!" Zhu Houzhao looked at Yang Tinghe and others and said.

Hearing this, Yang Tinghe finally felt relieved, thinking that these thieves seemed to be just running away, so that would be easy to deal with, and finally there was no big loss. After understanding these, Yang Tinghe quickly ordered people to prepare, and then led the ministers to continue to guard the periphery of the imperial village.

"Yang Tinghe, Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong obeyed the order." Seeing that Yang Tinghe had sent someone to handle horse items, Zhu Houzhao gave another order: "Three beloved ministers, we have summoned people to the imperial village late at night to see the emperor, which made me feel very comforted. However, now that the meeting of the emperor is over, the three beloved ministers should send the troops and horses first, and let them return to their old subordinates to be at ease with national affairs and not be disturbed. If you have any problems with your subordinates, I will punish whoever has any problems!"

After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he looked at Yang Tinghe and others coldly. Yang Tinghe had no choice but to order everyone to disperse first, but a group of important officials did not leave, and hundreds of soldiers were guarding the outside.

"When the nine gates, the admiral opened the nine gates, I want to personally send a few martial arts friends out of the city. Since I want to talk to several friends about some private matters, all the people and horses are not allowed to follow, and all fall ten miles behind. If anyone approaches, he will definitely be killed and unpardoned!" Seeing that the troops had dispersed, Zhu Houzhao issued another order, and Yang Tinghe and others had to accept the order.

Soon, two hundred and fifty fast horses were delivered, Liang Hong and others got on the horse, Zhu Houzhao also rode the horse, and the reins were led by Linghu Chong, and then the group slowly walked towards the city gate.

While we were marching, we suddenly heard someone shouting: "Wang Yangming, you are so brave. You actually collude with the thief and threaten Your Majesty. Do you know what you should be guilty of!"

Hearing this shout, everyone immediately turned their heads and looked over. They just realized that the person who was calling was Zhang Yong, the admiral of the Nine Gate. After hearing his words, Wang Shouren was extremely embarrassed. He took out his long sword and flew it around his neck. Then he said loudly: "Wang Yangming is sorry for Your Majesty, I will apologize for death today!"

"Brother Shouren, never!" At this time, Liang Hong exclaimed and flew forward, barely snatching the sword from Wang Shouren's hand. However, Wang Shouren was desperate and tried his best to seize the sword. At the same time, he shouted to Liang Hong: "Brother, don't stop me. I have decided to do it. Please help me!"

"Idiot!" Seeing this situation, Liang Hong was anxious. In desperation, he turned his head and looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Brother Zhu, Liang has a ruthless request. Can you ask Brother Zhu to pardon Brother Shouren and bypass his family? Brother Shouren is loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and is definitely not a bad person! Everything he did was to save me. He never expected that things would turn out like this."
