"Little... Miss. The main door, side door and back door of the house are all closed. No one can go out without the master's order." Xiaoqing panted and told Hu Yan what he saw.
Hearing that all the doors in the house were closed, Hu Yan had a bad feeling in her heart. If nothing had happened, such a change would not have happened. Her complexion changed slightly. When she looked at Xiaoqing, she was worried, "I asked you to inquire about the news. What was the result?"
"This..." Xiaoqing shook her head. "I can't get out of the house, and I can't ask for more information, but when I asked sun Chuang, he said, it seems that the front has lost the battle."
"Defeat? As if?" Hu Yan asked gedeng in her heart, "is this news confirmed?" as she spoke, her hands had clenched Xiaoqing's wrists.
"Miss, you know, as sun Chuang, what you know is really limited. Miss, please let go and hurt me." Xiaoqing's tearful eyes are hazy. Hu Yan's hands really hurt this moment.
Some mechanically released her hand. Hu Yan sat down on the chair and said with empty eyes, "he'll be fine, he'll be fine..."
Similar to Hu Yan's reaction, there were not a few in the capital at this time. In particular, the families of hundreds of military officials also vaguely felt that things were bad. Although there was no definite news, the atmosphere had become cold for a time.
Affected by it, the business of Shenxianju and Tianwaitian also began to become bleak. In the past, seats were in short supply, but now there are at least 30% fewer guests. They don't have to wait in line to spend here.
In this depressing atmosphere, five days later, a team of people and horses came from outside the capital gate. The leader looked strange, had a square face, a tall body, a beard to the knee, was good at riding and archery, and hung a big knife next to a good horse with a fierce murderous spirit.
But at this time, there was no murderous spirit in his eyes, but only an anxious look. He is Shi Heng, governor of Datong Prefecture.
Shi Heng, Song Ying, Hou of Xining, Wu Jin, Bo Zhu Mian, etc. fought with Warsaw cavalry in yanghekou. Song and Zhu were killed in battle. He rode back alone and recruited soldiers all the way. He also brought back hundreds of horsemen and horses. This time, he returned to the capital to make a contribution and atone for his sins.
Shiheng came back and brought back the latest news from the front. When Zhu Qiyu, the king of the imperial court, learned of it, he immediately called officials above the fourth grade in Beijing into the palace for discussion.
Above the hall, Shi Heng knelt down in front of Zhu Qiyu and told him in detail what he had experienced and seen in tears. After that, he kowtowed his head to the ground and said, "it's incompetent, incompetent."
At this moment, Shi Heng shows the appearance of a loyal and brave general. Kneeling there is more a confession than a show of merit.
"General Shi, please get up. The king asks you, how is the emperor? How are other ministers?" asked Zhu Qiyu, the king of Ying, with an anxious face. But others did not know that there was a fire burning in his chest.
"Your Highness, the Emperor... The emperor has ascended to heaven." Shi Heng slowly raised his head and blinked hard, but he didn't mean to cry. The expression on his face was vivid and gave people a feeling of great sadness and pain.
"What?" Zhu Qiyu shuddered and almost slipped down from the chair under his seat. Fortunately, Jin Ying standing aside helped him in time, so he didn't make a fool of himself to his face.
At this moment, all the other ministers were shocked, and even some timid simply knelt down and began to cry.
There are also some ministers who can't believe Shi Heng's words at all. After all, the war report said that the vara cavalry and infantry were only 60000 or 70000 people, but Daming sent a full 500000 troops, including many elite divisions. How could they be defeated so thoroughly that even the lives of the emperor and all officials were taken in?
"Governor Shi, did you see the death of the emperor and all officials with your own eyes?" among the ministers, Wang Zhi, the Minister of the Ministry of officials, was calm. He really didn't understand how it was possible to defeat so miserably with more and less or seven or eight times the strength of the other party.
"No, I didn't see the death of the emperor and all the officials with my own eyes, but because of Wang Zhen's arbitrary command, the army didn't care about the soldiers, the soldiers didn't know the generals, plus the lack of water and food, and the morale was insufficient. Facing the elite cavalry of Wala, I was dead and fleeing, injured and in chaos. I didn't know where the emperor and all the officials were at that time, but later I fought with a few Wala cavalry and learned from him We learned the above news from the mouth of these prisoners. I didn't dare to delay, so I took people to kill them all the way. "
Shi Heng constantly beautified himself in his words, giving people the feeling that he gave up fighting with the enemy in order to send back the news. But in fact, he heard the news from some Daming deserters who understood vara's words.
"Presumptuous, how can you insult my father like this!"
Just as Shi Hengzhi's words fell, three people came out of the crowd one after another. They were Ma Shun, the commander of the royal guards (the third grade), Wang Shan, the commander of tongzhi (from the third grade), and Wang Lin, the commander of Jinshi (the fourth grade).
When they heard that Shi Heng had put all the mistakes of the war on Wang Zhen, they were not willing to rely on him. One of them is Wang Zhen's confidant and the other is Wang Zhen's nephew. They are deeply grateful. No one is allowed to speak ill of Wang Zhen.
As soon as they jumped out, Jin Ying, standing next to the Dragon chair, picked his eyebrows. He waited too long. It is precisely because of the existence of these people that his power has been completely overhead. Now he finally has a chance to revenge and eradicate dissidents. Where will he miss such an opportunity?
Even this time, officials above the fourth grade were deliberately called to discuss the matter, just to attract these Wang Zhen's confidants. Even if Yang Chendong were here, he would be suspicious. History has deviated from this moment.
In fact, because of his appearance, many things have changed long ago. It is precisely because of the completion of Tianwaitian and Shenxianju that the speed of making money accelerated Wang Zhen's expanding psychology, making it difficult for him to put down others except the emperor, which attracted Jin Ying's more dissatisfaction with him than in history.
Besides, the three stood out at the same time and stared at Shi Heng angrily, which startled him. "I... I'm telling the truth. What are you going to do?"
"What are you doing? A thief who spreads news like you should be punished by everyone. Come on, drag him down and cut him." Ma Shun stared at Shi Heng like a sword, looking like he would never give up.
The voice fell. Sure enough, six strong royal guards in flying fish clothes came in outside the court hall.
As soon as the royal guards appeared, the atmosphere in the Imperial Hall was frozen. The faces of the ministers also changed greatly. It is obvious that they have not suffered less from these people at ordinary times. They are afraid from the bottom of their hearts.
At the moment, no one noticed that on the chair next to the Dragon chair, Ying Wang Zhu Qiyu had eye contact with eunuch Jin Yingzheng of Si Lijian BingBi. Obviously, they knew this was going to happen first.
He saw Zhu Qiyu gently nod his head and seemed to acquiesce in something. Then Jin Ying took a step forward and his voice suddenly increased a lot. "Come on, don't catch these three thieves who disturb the court and behead them to show justice."
"Huh?"
Jin Ying suddenly stood up and said that she wanted to kill three people instead of one. For a moment, the monarchs and ministers were stunned. Even Ma Shun's eyes flashed a look of surprise. They couldn't understand. How could Jin Ying make a slip of the tongue on such an occasion?
I didn't understand before because six men of royal guards didn't do it. But when six people came forward and two or two suddenly controlled Ma Shun, Wang Shan and Wang Lin, they found out what was going on.
"Jinying dog thief, what do you want to do? Let Grandpa go right away, or you will be beheaded." made by two powerful Royal Guards, Ma Shun resisted one after another without any results, which turned into shouting abuse.
Jin Ying, who had been prepared for a long time, did look cold and said with a trace of disdain: "death is coming, you are still so rampant. Come on, don't entrust people to cut down."
After hearing the news, the six arranged Hercules royal guards dragged Ma Shun out of the hall. Soon there were three shouts outside. Needless to say, Ma Shun has been the leader of the owl.
The most loyal running dog was killed, and all the officials were trembling, especially the officials who had taken refuge in Wang Zhen before. They don't know if Jin Ying, who seems to control the game, will suddenly attack them.
Killing is for prestige and deterrence.
Now it seems that the effect is still good. Jin Ying sighed, "don't blame me, you forced it." it seems that after giving an explanation, he turned and suddenly knelt down to Zhu Qiyu, king of Ying, sitting in the side chair. "Your Highness, now Yingzong is in trouble and Daming is in danger. Please ascend the throne as Emperor, preside over the overall situation and lead Daming to glory again."
Jin Ying knelt down in the hall of state affairs. At present, the needle can be heard and there is silence. Obviously, this was not foreseen and prepared.
But the silence was just a moment later, Shi Heng suddenly pounded his head like garlic to the ground, kowtowing and shouting, "minister, please ascend the throne and establish Datong."
With Shi Heng taking the lead, then there were quick reaction ministers kneeling down one by one and pleading with Zhu Qiyu, king of Ying, to ascend the throne to become emperor.
Shi Heng said that Yingzong Zhuqi town had been killed in the battle. That is, there are always important people to be the emperor. Now, with the status of supervising the country, the emperor's brother and the blood of the Zhu family, it is justifiable for him to inherit Datong.
