Ming Dynasty: A mere unruly commoner is rebelling against the heaven?

Chapter 214 I ask the Empress Dowager to immediately make Prince Xing the emperor!
In the end, Yu Shen decided to let his brother-in-law, Yang Tong's younger brother, Yang Qing, who lived in the capital.

He led a hundred Luzhou soldiers to go out of the city to find out the news about Zhu Youtang.

By the way, let them go to Xuanfu again and contact Yang Tong again.

In the past few days, the capital city has received neither news from Zhu Youtang nor news from Xuanfu.

Yu Shen was the person who knew the most secrets behind the Battle of Tumu.

However, the capital has not received any news from Yang Tong in the past few days, which makes Yu Shen feel confused and uneasy.

Soon, Yang Qing took a hundred Luzhou soldiers prepared to fight against the Japanese invaders, left the capital, and headed towards Tumu Fort.

Along the way, Yang Qing was excited and excited.

This time, Yu Shen lavishly rewarded his accomplices, and even gave him a promotion to the position of councilor of the Rear Army Governor's Office, a fourth-rank position.

Soon, Yang Qing and his group arrived at Juyongguan.

At this moment, the entire Juyongguan was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere.

Everyone looked serious, but their seriousness was also mixed with anxiety and depression.

The reason is simple. After Yang Kui led Yang Tong's 20,000 personal troops to attack the camp from Juyong Pass, there has been no news since then.

So many days have passed now, and Juyongguan is still calm.

Except for the tens of thousands of logistics troops who fled back to Juyongguan on the day of the attack, no one else came to Juyongguan.

Without Zhu Youtang's troops and Yang Kui's troops, someone has to come and report whether the attack on the camp was a success or a failure, right?

But, nothing.

However, Luo Xin, the commander of Juyong Pass, did not dare to send anyone to gather intelligence without authorization.

So at this time, Luo Xin didn't even know whether Yang Kui had succeeded or not.

After Yang Qing knew about this, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

But at this moment, Yang Qing was still optimistic.

Afterwards, Yang Qing led his men out of Juyongguan and soon arrived at Tumu Fort.

When Yang Qing was still some distance away from Tumubao, he smelled a strong smell of blood.

This indicates that a very fierce battle must have taken place in Tumubao.

Yang Qing was shocked, knowing that Yang Kui must have taken action, and quickly increased the pace of the march.

The moment Yang Qing saw the Tumubao camp, he was struck by lightning, his eyes wide open with shock on his face.

The Jingguan, consisting of 20,000 people, stood on Tumubao, which made people feel frightened and timid.

Even from a distance, Yang Qing was so frightened by the hellish scene that his legs went weak and cold sweat broke out on his back.

Yang Qing murmured to himself: "This Yang Kui, is he going too far?"

"If you want to attack the camp, why do you need to build a Jingguan?"

"Isn't this just a slap in the face of our own Ming Dynasty..."

As Yang Qing spoke, he urged the horse under him to approach the Jingguan that was emitting a fishy smell.

The one hundred Japanese soldiers behind him had experienced many battles with real swords and real weapons.

Seeing this Jingguan at this time, everyone showed a look of horror.

They also followed Yang Qing and approached the Jingguan cautiously.

The closer Yang Qing got to the Jingguan, the more uneasy he felt.

Because he found that these corpses that made up the Jingguan looked so familiar.
After this thought flashed through Yang Qing's mind, he felt his heartbeat suddenly speed up.

At the same time, he felt his breathing becoming difficult and his mind went blank.

A powerful fear enveloped him, making him feel like he was going to faint at any moment.

When Yang Qing stood in front of the Jingguan, he finally saw the faces of the corpses clearly.

This corpse is Yang Tong's personal soldier, this corpse is also Yang Tong's personal soldier, this one is, this one is still...

This huge Jingguan was actually composed entirely of Yang Tong’s personal soldiers!
“Ah! Ahhh!! Ahhhhh…”

Yang Qing's inner fear reached its limit and he let out an unconscious scream.

The defenses in his heart were completely destroyed. He retreated in fear and accidentally fell off his horse.

"Master Yang!"

"Master Yang, what's wrong with you? Master Yang!"

The surrounding soldiers preparing for Japanese invasion quickly dismounted and helped Yang Qing up. Yang Qing was so frightened that his entire body went limp and he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

At this moment, there were only three words echoing in his mind.

It's all over!
The 20,000 troops led by Yang Kui who attacked Zhu Youtang were all killed!

This proves that not only did Zhu Youtang not get into trouble, but he also resolved the mutiny.

As long as Zhu Youtang knew their identities, he would immediately know that the person who started the mutiny was Yang Tong, the general of Xuanfu.

At this time, Zhu Youtang must be making a judgment in Xuanfu!

Yang Qing didn’t know how long Yang Tong could hold on, he only knew that at this moment, they could no longer go to Xuanfu.

In a flash, Yang Qing had deduced the possible consequences, and immediately grabbed the collar of the Japanese-prepared army beside him and gave him an order.

"Quick! Return to the capital as soon as possible! Return to the capital immediately!"

"what?!"

The Japanese army was very surprised: "But Lord Yang, didn't we come here to inquire about the emperor's news?"

"Now that we have gained nothing, do we really have to return to the city immediately?"

"idiot!"

Yang Qing pointed at the Jingguan and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Did you see the equipment they were wearing?"

"They are all wearing Ming-style armor. They are all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and they are the personal troops of Yang Tong, the general of Xuanfu!"

"They must be the soldiers sent by Yang Hong, the general of Xuanfu, to rescue Your Majesty."

"Even they were killed by the Wala people, so your Majesty must be in great danger." "Your Majesty was not seen at the scene, he must have been captured by the Wala people!"

"Why don't we take this information back to the capital as soon as possible? Why are we still staying outside the city?!"

After hearing Yang Qing's words, the Japanese troops were stunned and felt very shocked.

"Huh? What?!"

"Your Majesty has been captured by the Oirat again?!"

Regarding Yang Qing's words, the Japanese troops were surprised but did not have much doubt.

Because before this, there was already a precedent in the Ming Dynasty.

This was after the officials in the capital heard the news that Zhu Youtang was attacked in Tumu Fortress.

It makes sense that the first reaction is to seize power rather than question it.

That means there was already a precedent before this.

While you were still questioning the authenticity of the news, others had already seized the power vacated by Zhu Youtang.

If you fall behind by one step, the result will be that some people will have power over the government, while others will be demoted to the bottom.

Who is willing to fall behind others?

So, under Yang Qing's order, everyone immediately took Yang Qing and rode back to the capital at full speed.

When passing through Juyongguan, Yang Qing also told Luo Xin, who participated in the mutiny, the news.

After hearing this, Luo Xin's face turned pale and he had the urge to commit suicide.

But the thousands of soldiers under his command still follow him to beg for food.

There was no other way, Luo Xin could only continue to lead his soldiers to defend Juyong Pass.

We must not let Zhu Youtang pass through Juyongguan and return to the capital!

Yang Qing returned to the capital as quickly as possible and told the Minister of War Yu Shen what he had seen and heard.

"what?!"

"Yang Tong's 20,000 personal soldiers are all dead!!!"

When Yu Shen heard the news, his eyes widened in horror and he fell down on his chair.

Yang Qing said with tears and snot: "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, it can't be fake!"

Yu Shen never expected that even though he had successfully seized power in the capital, Yang Tong's mutiny actually failed!
Now Zhu Youtang was not only alive, but he also led a large army to Xuanfu to quell the rebellion.

If Zhu Youtang returns to the capital, those who participated in the power grab will not only die, but will also be branded as traitors in history books!

This can’t be possible. Yu Shen must never allow such a thing to happen!

Yu Shen's mind raced, and he suddenly asked, "Where are the Japanese troops who went out with you?"

"Do they also know the truth of the matter?"

Yang Qing shook his head: "No, I found an excuse and got away with it."

Afterwards, Yang Qing told Yu Shen what he had said to the troops preparing for war against Japan.

After hearing this, Yu Shen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay! You are right. Let's do as you said and spread the news that the emperor was captured by the Oirat people throughout the capital."

"At the same time, the capital city must be strictly sealed off. No information can be exchanged between the capital city and the outside world!"

"Yes, Yu Shaobao!"

After Yu Shen gave his instructions, he paced around the room anxiously.

Now that power has been seized, why not just go all the way and make the capture of Zhu Youtang a reality!

Directly abolish the legality of Zhu Youtang's rule and elect King Xing as emperor!

"There is no time to waste. Go and notify all the officials in the capital immediately and have them put on their court robes and go to the palace to wait and see the new emperor!"

After Yu Shen gave the order to Yang Qing, he ignored Yang Qing's shocked expression and immediately brought his men to Prince Xing's Mansion.

Although Zhu Youlang had the title of regent at this time, he was not the emperor after all, and could only live in Prince Xing's Palace.

But starting today, everything will be different.

The Ming Dynasty is about to welcome its tenth emperor!

Yu Shen arrived at Prince Xing's mansion. When Zhu Youju saw Yu Shen, he was so scared that he quickly stood up and said, "Yu Shaobao, why are you here?"

Since he officially took over as regent yesterday, all his power has been exercised by Yu Shen.

Without Yu Shen, he would not have the power to regulate the country.

Therefore, Zhu Youlang did not dare to resist Yu Shen at all, and he obeyed any of Shen's orders.

In fact, Zhu Youjun was both in awe and afraid of Shen.

"Your Highness, follow me. Today I will make you the emperor!"

Yu Shen took Zhu Youlang's hand, led the soldiers, and rushed into the harem aggressively, and found Zhou who had been deprived of power.

After Zhou once again lost the power to control the court, she was extremely sad.

If Zhou's clan had not been exterminated by Zhu Youtang, she could have let her two younger brothers, who served in the Five Military Commandery, take control of the military affairs of the capital.

With the help of her in-laws, she wouldn't have lost so quickly and so completely!

At this time, Yu Shen had already brought Zhu Youluo and knelt in front of Zhou with murderous looks on their faces.

"Grand Empress Dowager, news just came that His Majesty has been captured by the Oirat people!"

"Your Majesty can't come back. The Ming Dynasty can lose an emperor, but it can't be without an emperor!"

"I ask the Empress Dowager to make Prince Xing the emperor!"

"The civil and military officials outside the palace have gathered and are ready to kneel down and pay homage to the new emperor at any time!"

"Your Majesty, please issue an order immediately!"
