Chapter 167

For a moment, they couldn't think of any good way. They could only look at each other face to face.

Suddenly, many Kongming lanterns floated from the back palace. At this time, the festival was just the time when the northwest wind was raging. When the Kongming lantern rose into the air, it was soon dispersed outside the palace by the wind.

The Empress Dowager praised, "I don't know who is so smart and comes up with such a good way. In this case, it's better to be more lively and let the palace people carry out all the fireworks and firecrackers that are ready to be set off on New Year's Eve. "

After hearing this, Xu Lu started to do it.

Naturally, the people on the rebel side also saw the Kong Ming lamp in the sky. They shot down one and handed it to the leader Yu Yishui. On the cover of the Kong Ming lamp, the words "rebel invades the palace, come and rescue quickly" were written in a pen, and the Empress Dowager's private seal was covered below.

At this time, he didn't know the news of his son's death. He ordered to hold fast to the gun and prepare to attack the Taihe gate. On the other side, they sent people to shoot down the Kongming lamp in the sky.

The archers of the rebels took bow and shot down a lot of Kongming lanterns, but some of them flew outside the Forbidden City.

On this day, leisurely just came to the government to help Han deal with some year-end sacrifice. As soon as they were ready to have a cup of tea for a rest after lunch, they heard the news. Suddenly, many Kongming lanterns came to the sky. One of them was still in the stable in the front yard, almost lighting Ma Peng.

Everyone frowned and went to the yard one after another. They saw many black spots flying in the sky. Some of the shorter ones can see the appearance of the Kongming lamp, and then a dense sound of firecrackers came from the northwest, and bursts of fireworks rose in the sky. Although the fireworks in the day are not as gorgeous as in the night, they are also very conspicuous.

Han frowned and said, "the sound of firecrackers comes from the palace. Is there any trouble in the palace?"

After hearing this, they all looked to the sky. No matter how big the people were, they also noticed the air of killing. The atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became tense. After a while, Xin Su suddenly pointed to the air and said, "look, it's fireworks flying in the sky. This fireworks has always been set off only on New Year's Eve or when the new emperor ascended the throne. There must be something wrong in the palace. This is a warning to us."

Han nodded and quickly asked someone to call the chief bodyguard of the palace. He said, "take the ten elite soldiers of our palace and go to the palace to find out the situation." The head of the guard promised to go, and Han ordered people to close all the doors of the house, so that all the bodyguards and servants could take the equipment to guard the door.

Zhongguo government was one of the founding governments, and it was very close to the Forbidden City. The chief bodyguard of the palace went there for about a long time, then came back and said, "when I arrived at the gate of Dakang, the Forbidden City, I found that it was a mess and a river of blood. It was obvious that I had experienced a war. Even the guards guarding the city gate are not the usual imperial guards, but some soldiers dressed in miscellaneous clothes, among whom there are some foreign people who look like the people of Luocha. When you see that something is wrong, you don't act rashly. Let your brothers go to Shenwu gate to check the situation. You'll tell your wife first. "

On hearing this, everyone was shocked. It seems that something really happened in the palace.

Han said, "there's something wrong in the palace. There's no movement from the city defense army and the city protection army. There's no one to help. There must be something wrong. But the emperor took most of the imperial guards with him, and now he has to turn to the capital camp for help. "

Fang Xinsu said, "the capital camp is outside the city. Since there is no movement, the city guards either rebel or are eliminated. I'm afraid the gate of the city has been occupied by the rebels. I'm afraid it's not easy for us to deliver news outside the city. "

At this time, leisurely suddenly said, "we can fly pigeons to send messages."

The bodyguard shook his head and said, "the capital camp is an important military area. Birds are not allowed to hover around the camp. Soldiers who guard the camp will shoot as long as they see birds." He nodded leisurely, "I naturally know that I can't send letters to the capital camp. I can send letters to others. Emperor Han is just outside the city at the foot of Yangtian mountain." Fortunately, Lin's mother took Zhuang Shu back to Lin's village two days ago to prepare for ancestor worship. For a moment and a half, the rebels were afraid that they would not care about the outskirts of the city, so they were in a safer situation than themselves. She looked at Kang Tai, who was sleeping sweetly in her arms, and Shen Xi, who had just been called by Han. Although the heart is very afraid, but still strong calm to appease them.

Han's eyes brightened. "Yes, there is the eldest princess of Dening living on the Yangtian mountain. She is the aunt of the Emperor today. The most important thing is that the princess still has an army of women and 10000 private soldiers in her hands." Then he asked the bodyguard, "how many rebels are there in Dakang gate?"

The bodyguard replied, "there are about a thousand people stationed outside the gate, but the Meridian Gate of the palace has been closed. We can't see the situation inside. We don't know how many people there are at the gate. I'll check it now. " Then he turned and left.

Han immediately wrote a letter in his own hand, tied it with a fragment of Kongming lamp shot down by the bodyguard, and spread it to Minghe Academy with flying pigeons.

The Minghe academy is still immersed in a peaceful sound of reading. Han Di Shi is practicing calligraphy in the room. All of a sudden, one of his disciples took a roll of paper and handed it to him. "Sir, it's a letter from Zhongguo government." This disciple was also a little puzzled. In broad daylight, what can't he say in person? He also wanted to fly pigeons to deliver messages?

Hearing this, Han was stunned. He put down his brush, took the letter and read it. He was surprised to see that the fragment of the Kongming lamp was indeed covered with the Empress Dowager's silk screen. At the moment, I don't care about changing clothes. "Get ready for the horse as soon as possible. I have something urgent to see the eldest princess."

Although the disciple was strange, he did as he said.

When Han imperial master rode to the mountain, the eldest princess of Dening had changed into a military uniform. The eldest princess, who was over 60 years old, was in her thirties because of proper maintenance. She was younger than Han imperial master. She straddled on a white horse, even more valiant, surrounded by a group of women's army in crimson riding clothes, and her soldiers were ready to go.

Seeing her son-in-law coming, the eldest princess of Dening quickly stopped his big gift. "OK, what time is it? There's no need to talk about these empty gifts in case of emergency. Since you have come here, you must have got the news. "

Even in the face of the emperor, Han imperial master has always been neither humble nor arrogant. He is always respectful to his mother-in-law and dare not put on the airs of half imperial master. At the moment, he bowed to himself and said, "yes, a letter came from the wife of my son-in-law. There is also a remnant cover of Kongming lamp released from the palace, on which there is the private seal of the Empress Dowager. It matters a lot. My son-in-law dares not delay and comes to find his highness in a hurry. "
