Chapter 249

"Eight hundred miles urgently!"

"Eight hundred miles urgently!"

"Urgent military situation!"

The sun was about to set, and at this moment, on the street outside Yanjing City, a military courier riding a fast horse came, waving his whip and roaring hysterically.

After days of running around, his face was bloodless and pale, and he was even more shaky, as if he would fall off the horse in the next moment.

This sound instantly attracted everyone around, and countless people looked at the figure riding away with shock on their faces.

"What's going on here? It took eight hundred miles to expedite the letter..."

"Isn't this something serious?"

"Nonsense, it's not a big deal worth spending [-] urgent letters."

"I'm afraid the world is going to be in chaos."

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and they were all extremely curious about this matter.

The visitor went straight to the outside of the East Palace, then got off the horse, then raised the urgent letter in his hand, and rushed to the outside of the palace gate.

"Eight hundred miles urgent letter..."

"Presented to Your Highness!"

The last voice fell, and the person who came had already fainted, and his life and death were unknown.

The guards stationed in front of the gate of the East Palace looked at each other, and were startled when they saw the token and urgent letter in the hands of the visitor.

Everyone didn't dare to be careless, several people carried the messenger down, while another person rushed into the palace to report.

……

Gyeonggi Chief Rudder,

Shen Du was processing official documents when an attendant from the East Palace suddenly broke in, sweating profusely.

"Sir Shen!"

The visitor bowed and saluted, knelt down on the ground, held up the token, and respectfully said: "My lord, by order of Eunuch Lu, I am here to invite you to the East Palace."

Shen Du frowned, and glanced at the token in the little eunuch's hand.

"Eunuch Lu, what did you say?"

"No."

"Eunuch Lu said that you must go as soon as possible."

Shen Du didn't delay anymore, he called Cheng Zhenlei and others, and after an explanation, he immediately set off for the East Palace.

As soon as Shen Dugang arrived at the East Palace, he noticed something strange.

The entire East Palace has already been filled with the East Palace guards, with three steps and one post, and there are constant patrols, as if it is in a state of martial law.

Shen Du walked all the way to the front hall, and as soon as he stepped in, he saw Lu Chengen frowning tightly, holding a letter in his hand.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Lu Chengen raised his head solemnly, looked at Shen Du, and said in a deep voice: "I just got the military report, King Jing'an... raised his troops!"

"Not only King Jing'an, but also four princes stationed outside, and aristocratic families from eight prefectures raised troops at the same time, gathering 50 soldiers and horses, claiming that the prince was killed and wanted to go to Beijing to help the king and support the unification."

As Lu Chengen said, he passed the information in his hand to Shen Du.

Although the state soldiers in the 50 army are not to be feared, King Jing'an has frontier troops, and many of them are private soldiers raised by various aristocratic families.

The treatment and training of these private soldiers are not much different from Dayan's regular soldiers.

Shen Du didn't look at the information, but stared at Lu Chengen with burning eyes, and asked, "What does Your Highness say?"

Regarding this matter, he had already expected it in his heart, so he was not too surprised.

The resumption of the Jingcha incident is nothing more than two situations.

It's just that they dare to raise troops...

I'm afraid I got some news, knowing that there must be something wrong with Emperor Yan's retreat, otherwise he would never be so bold.

I didn't expect these people to act so quickly.

Lu Chengen sighed, looked at Shen Du, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes, he hesitated to speak.

"Master Shen, follow me."

Shen Du frowned, and followed Lu Chengen.

Lu Chengen led Shen Du all the way to a palace behind the East Palace, and pushed open a room with his hand.

Before Shen Du stepped into the room, he felt a bone-piercing chill.

The moment Lu Chengen opened the door, a huge ice coffin greeted his eyes.

The cold is slowly dissipating!

Shen Du's pupils shrank sharply.

Lying in the coffin is none other than Prince Xia Jingyi.

Lu Chengen bowed and saluted before explaining to Shen Du: "At the beginning when His Highness was attacked and his life was in danger, I had no choice but to temporarily put His Highness in this coffin to temporarily seal the lifeline."

"This coffin is a treasure collected by the Northern Barbarians back then. It is a piece of Tianling Xuanbing. It has miraculous effects."

"Just when can I wake up..."

Lu Chengen did not say the second half of the sentence.

"So now I can only invite Mr. Shen to come."

"Once they learn about this, I'm afraid there will be turmoil in Beijing."

Shen Du looked intently at the ice coffin, then looked at Lu Chengen, and said in a deep voice, "How many soldiers can the East Palace mobilize now?"

Lu Cheng'en thought for a moment, and said: "At present, besides the guards of the East Palace, there are three soldiers and horses of the Long Xiang Guard, the Right Martial Guard, and the Left Banner Guard, totaling [-] soldiers and horses."

Shen Du said solemnly: "We must mobilize these soldiers and horses as soon as possible to take over the city gate and seal the city gate to prevent the army from outside the city from entering the capital."

Fortunately, the East Palace was attacked some time ago, the capital was under martial law, and everywhere was blocked.

Moreover, the guards of the East Palace have already been transferred into the city to take advantage of it.

As long as they take over the city gate, even if someone really has a second heart, at least the army will not be able to enter the city in a short time.

However, he was still worried.

King Jing'an's raising of troops was definitely not a whim, it should have been the news of the attack on the Beijing East Palace.

I'm afraid that during this period of time, these people in Beijing have already arranged for a large number of people to sneak into Beijing.

These people are hidden everywhere, and once they get together, they will definitely be a huge trouble.

And the news spread to Beijing

Lu Chengen nodded and said, "I'll let the order go."

Shen Du threw out the command talisman given by the crown prince, and said: "Let the guards of the Eastern Palace take over the city gate first, and tell the outside world to track down the traitor who assassinated."

……

Chengguo government office.

At the moment when the Babaili urgent army report was delivered to the East Palace, a secret letter was also sent to Cheng Guogong's mansion.

Looking at the information in his hands, Yue Wu's eyes suddenly flashed a cold light, and said in a deep voice: "Tell them, the opportunity has come."

"Everything is going according to plan!"

Under the hall, a masked man in black clapped his hands and disappeared in the same place in an instant.

Yue Wu stood up slowly, walked to the window and looked at the dim starry sky. There seemed to be flames burning in his deep pupils, and his face was cold.

Success or failure is here!
……

When everyone was discussing the matter of expediting the eight hundred miles, they suddenly discovered that there were a large number of personal guards belonging to the East Palace on the street.

These East Palace guards took over various city gates in a short period of time.

Now the crown prince is in charge of the country of Yan after all, and he is the person who supervises the country in name, so there is no obstacle.

The next day, a piece of news began to circulate among the upper echelons of the imperial court.

King Jing'an has raised his troops!

Not only King Jingan, but also eight states raised troops at the same time. Now they have gathered 50 soldiers and horses, heading straight for Kyoto.

Although under the banner of King Qin, everyone knows that his purpose is obviously more than that.

For a while, all officials panicked.

In front of the East Palace Gate,

Carriages came quickly, including many generals on horseback.

The carriage stopped in front of the gate of the East Palace, and several court officials stepped down from it.

Yan Ziqing, the chief assistant of the cabinet.

Liu Chengzhi, the second assistant of the cabinet.

Six Shangshu!

And all the civil and military officials above the fourth rank in Beijing.

They have only one purpose here, to meet the prince!

As long as the prince comes forward, all the rumors will be self-defeating, and the matter of King Jing'an raising troops to serve the king will become a joke.

Of course, if the prince is really unable to come forward, it will be another result.

They had already complained about the prince, but now that they came here, it was more of a test.

"stop!"

"Stop!"

The guards guarding the Eastern Palace directly reached out to stop everyone, without any intention of letting them go.

"presumptuous!"

Liu Chengzhi glanced at the crowd coldly, and shouted angrily: "I am the elder of the cabinet, please see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"If you miss the court's major event, can you bear it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the East Palace slowly opened.

Everyone immediately looked up.

It's just that Xia Jingyi didn't appear as expected, but a figure that made them gnash their teeth.

Shen Du sat on the chair with a golden sword, leaning on Xueyinkuangdao with both hands, looked at everyone with indifferent eyes, and said calmly: "No one is allowed to step into this place without His Highness's order!"

 Sorry for the lack of time, I will officially go to work tomorrow, and I have a headache.

  I’ll see when I’ll fill in the chapters that I’m missing. A few days ago, I’ve been updating [-] words, and there’s been a lot of updates.

  Wait for a meal to write, and try to write tomorrow's first.
