Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3465 The anti-trace has appeared
Everyone laughed.

Xu Jingzong is very familiar to everyone here. After all, he is the minister of His Majesty Li Er's hidden residence. Although he does not have much credit, at least his qualifications are there, and few people in the government and the opposition can match him.However, this person's character is despised by everyone, which is the reason why he has never been reused even though he is extremely talented.

Poor character, naturally low prestige. In the past, those clerks who faced each other in the yamen could not convince the public, how can they suppress those heavenly favored ones in Zhenguan Academy now?
It is inevitable to be turned into a puppet. How can young handsome men like Cen Changqian and Ouyang Tong, who have a prominent family background and outstanding ability, succumb to their subordinates?Even if General Xin Mao is his son-in-law, he may have to "disobey" at the critical moment...

Therefore, everyone imagined that Xu Jingzong, who is the most greedy and powerful person, is now being ostracized by a group of students in the foundry bureau. They watched the students do their own thing and set up troops, but left him aside. With such an angry, frustrated and embarrassed expression, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The flames of war have been ignited, and the enormous pressure of the urgent situation seems to be a little easier...

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Although the Xu Yan family may be excluded by the students, it is difficult to stop, but in the end, he is also the master of the academy, the nominal principal, as long as the foundry bureau is not prepared for the rebels, why should he be stingy with rewards? He will be credited with it.”

The crowd said: "Your Highness is generous, and it is a blessing for the ministers."

Li Chengqian looked around and said with emotion: "The enemy is now present, and the situation is urgent. I also hope that you will help protect the country and maintain Zhengshuo! As long as you defeat the rebels this time, the world will not be in chaos and wars will be everywhere, and you will be alone. Wealth and honor!"

Having said that, he stood up and bowed to the ground: "Everyone, please!"

A group of civil servants and military generals hurriedly stood up, stepped aside, and returned their salutes one after another: "Your Highness is serious, this is the duty of a minister, how dare you ask for credit?"

"Your Highness is magnanimous, it is the righteousness of the country, and the rebellious officials and thieves will surely subdue the law!"

"I would like to die for His Highness!"

In the Tai Chi Hall, there was a lot of voices and morale was booming!

*****
Cui Dunli came out from the Taiji Hall, took two subordinate officials, and under the guidance of several servants, went left through the Yanming Gate, walked north from the Zhongshu Provincial Gate, passed the Suzhang Gate, and walked from Baifu Hall, Anren Hall and Ziwei Hall all the way to the inner gate.

Some soldiers came forward to stop him, Cui Dunli ordered someone to show the prince's seal, the soldiers inspected it, and then passed on Zhang Shigui, the guard of the Xuanwu Gate.

After a while, he turned around, opened the inner heavy door, and let Cui Dunli and his party enter.

Entering the inner heavy gate, you can see the majestic Xuanwu Gate standing in front of you. In the night, the city head is brightly lit, and there are countless figures of soldiers patrolling back and forth. Stand still in the middle, ready to deal with the possible gatekeeper battle at any time.

Zhang Shigui was dressed in a military uniform, with his gray beard fluttering in the wind and snow, when he saw Cui Dunli who came forward to salute, he waved his hand slightly, and said solemnly: "Cui Shilang, you don't need to be polite!"

When Cui Dunli got up, Zhang Shigui asked, "How is the situation before the imperial city?"

Cui Dunli looked dignified, and said in a respectful voice: "The rebel army is powerful, and as many as 7 or [-] people have entered the city at the moment, and they are attacking from various gates. The sixth rate of the East Palace and the soldiers of the Ministry of War and Jingzhao Mansion resisted. It doesn't matter. It's just that His Highness is worried about the safety of Xuanwu Gate, so he ordered you to go out and announce an order to the left and right guards, ordering them to stabilize the morale of the army and guard Xuanwu Gate."

Zhang Shigui nodded slowly, turned his head to look at the brightly lit Xuanwu Gate, and sighed softly: "Who would have thought that this Guanlong Gate clan would be so perverted, with no king and no father! Let's go, I will send Cui Shilang out!"

"Thank you, Duke Guo!"

Cui Dunli thanked him, and followed Zhang Shigui to the top of the wall.

At this time, no one dared to open the city gate even if it was a big event. If the left and right guards outside the city were disobedient and took the opportunity to rush into Xuanwu Gate, it would be a big disaster!So Zhang Shigui led Cui Dunli to the top of the city, ordered people to tie the bamboo baskets with ropes, and sent Cui Dunli and others down the city one by one.

Cui Dunli went down the city, jumped out of the bamboo basket, and saluted Zhang Shigui who was standing on the top of the city, then turned around, led his subordinates into the wind and snow, and headed for Zuo Tunwei camp.

Zhang Shigui stood at the head of the city, despite the wind and snow, looking at the brightly lit left and right guard camps not far away in the wind and snow, his heart was heavy.

Who would have thought that the situation would collapse to this point in the blink of an eye?
It is well known that the Guan Long clan has never been favored by the prince, and it is also reasonable that Guan Long wants to support the King of Jin in his struggle for heir.However, in the absence of His Majesty's edict at the moment, brazenly raising troops into the city, it is simply lawless!
It sounds nice to call this "military remonstrance", but in essence, how is it different from rebellion?

What's more, the establishment of the books of the monarchs is related to the foundation of the country, and it will easily cause turmoil in the world.For his own selfishness, he completely disregarded the situation in the world, and even went so far as to plunder the capital and drive troops to attack the palace... This is a traitor and a traitor, everyone can punish him!
However... What if those rebellious officials and thieves achieve great things?

I am afraid that this huge empire will collapse suddenly, repeating the story of the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world is full of wars, and people are dying.

With the strength and combat power of the East Palace Liu rate, it should not be difficult to resist the rebel offensive head-on. Even if they are passive at the moment, relying on the imperial city, it is not difficult to persist for a month.As long as the Eastern Expeditionary Army returns to Guanzhong, the mutiny will naturally disappear.

And the most dangerous one is the Xuanwu Gate!
As long as the Xuanwu Gate falls, the rebels can enter the inner city, cooperate with the rebels outside the imperial city, attack back and forth, and the East Palace Liu rate will undoubtedly be defeated.

The guards on the left and right are not only the access control of the Suwei Xuanwu Gate, but also the root of the disaster. Once these two armies turn to the rebels, Zhang Shigui and his Beiya Imperial Guards will never be able to defend the Xuanwu Gate, and they can only fight to the death.

……

In the wind and snow, Cui Dunli walked with difficulty to the gate of Zuo Tunwei camp. Two lanterns hung in front of the gate, swaying with the strong wind.

When they arrived at the door, a soldier on duty at night came forward and asked loudly, "Who is here?"

Cui Dunli stopped, and raised the edict in his hand: "The prince's edict is here, please go out to the camp to receive the edict!"

"Here!"

The soldiers didn't dare to neglect, and hurried back to the camp.

Cui Dunli stood outside the camp gate, looking at the brightly lit camp with his hands behind his back. He saw Zuotun guards standing in groups in the school grounds. It was snowing heavily and the wind was bitterly cold. Most of these soldiers were clustered around their respective barracks. A team escaped from the snowstorm.

Cui Dunli's eyes were deep, and he found that these soldiers were already equipped with weapons, and the voices of people in the far away camp were even louder. Even the sound of wind and snow could not block it, but he didn't know what preparations he was making...

After a while, a large group of generals and officers, surrounded by the armored Duke Chai Zhewei, walked out of the gate of the camp quickly.

Chai Zhewei knelt down on one knee and said, "My humble minister Chai Zhewei welcomes the prince's edict!"

Cui Dunli handed the prince's edict to Chai Zhewei, Chai Zhewei took it with both hands above his head, then got up, looked at Cui Dunli up and down, and said calmly: "It's hard for Cui Shilang to pass on the prince's edict in such a wind and snow. "

Cui Dunli frowned slightly, and said salutingly: "Duke Qiao led the army to guard the Xuanwu Gate, protected the country and helped protect the forbidden palace. His hard work and great achievements are indeed meritorious deeds of the dynasty and admired by all people. Compared with you, how can you dare to be a low-ranking official? The word 'hard work'?"

"Ha ha……"

Chai Zhewei glanced at Cui Dunli, and knew that this was Fang Jun's powerful helper. However, although he had dealt with the Ministry of War several times in the past, he only knew that this person had outstanding abilities, but he didn't want to be so quick-spoken.

Ignore Cui Dunli any more, unfold the prince's edict, and read it at a glance.

Then he folded up the edict slowly, and wanted to put it in his arms, but found that he was wearing armor, and handed it to You Wenzhi behind him, and then said to Cui Dunli: "Go back and report to His Royal Highness, and say that I have received the edict from the prince. I will definitely act in accordance with the order, and I will guard the Xuanwu Gate, and I dare not make any mistakes!"

At this point, he paused, looked at Cui Dunli deeply, and said slowly: "Returning to the palace and returning to order is such a small matter, I think Cui Shilang's subordinates can handle it well. Now that the enemy is at hand, the commander is very worried. I'm afraid that the lack of ability will ruin His Highness's important affairs. I have heard that Cui Shilang is well aware of military affairs and has excellent strategies, so how about staying in the barracks to counsel the military plane?"

Cui Dunli's heart tightened, his face was calm, and he bowed his head and said: "Thank you, Duke Qiao, for your attention... It's just that His Highness has already appointed a subordinate official to be in charge of the logistics and dispatch of the Sixth Commander of the East Palace, so I dare not stay here without permission, delaying His Highness's arrival." It's a big deal. It's a matter here, and I will leave."

After saying that, he bowed his hands to Chai Zhewei and saluted, then turned around and led his subordinates back the same way.

Chai Zhewei watched Cui Dunli's back disappear into the snowy night, frowning, as if he wanted to give an order, but hesitated.

Behind him, You Wenzhi said in a low voice: "The commander should have left this person behind..."
