Since bidding farewell to Yan Shifan that day and overhearing their conversation, Lin Tingchen has not had a good night's sleep.
No need to think about it, those brave guys must have tampered with the elixir given to the emperor, so they must have calculated the date extremely accurately.
Looking at Xu Wei¡¯s expression today, Lin Tingchen knew that the time had come.
This is regicide!
"It's a pity that everyone knows this, and Pianpian hides it from King Jing.
Having read many sage books for many years, Lin Tingchen naturally knows what this means.
However, there is a vague excitement in my heart.
It¡¯s the right time for you to be a man!
If you don¡¯t go through this blood and fire, with your own background, this life will be like this.
"But am I willing? No!"
He clenched his fists: "No way, they are all the same people. Wu Jie, why can you become a general or a prime minister, but I want to be an idle official as big as sesame seeds and mung beans, and he can replace me!"
Coming out of the palace, Lin Tingchen sat on the sedan chair, urging the bearer to move faster while thinking about what words to use to impress Zhu Xizhong, Duke of Cheng.
Lin Tingchen is no stranger to Cheng Guogong. He has dealt with him several times in the past two years and feels that this person is not difficult to talk to.
Duke Cheng Guo replaced Lu Bing as the commander of the Imperial Guard, but this matter had nothing to do with him. Speaking of which, Lin Tingchen is also a member of the Lu family. Zhu Xizhong still respects his predecessor and is very polite to Lin Tingchen.
When talking about Lu Binglai, Zhu Xizhong also sighed and did not comment on anything. In official matters, he was also very relaxed towards Lin Tingchen.
From Lin Tingchen¡¯s point of view, this Zhu Xizhong is a serious person. He has a good heart, so he may not be unable to win.
When he thought of this, Lin Tingchen became excited and thought about what kind of conditions should be given to him.
Actually, it¡¯s about fighting for Zhu Xizhong. King Jing and the others had discussed it several times before and had given several conditions, the most attractive of which was the post of Governor Zuo.
After walking on the road for a while, Lin Tingchen suddenly became nervous and thought: This condition is actually not very good. Governor Zuo is just a title with no real power. But when it comes to real power, what could be greater than the commander of the Imperial Guard? Also, just go up to the title. You are already a duke, and if you go up to the next level, you will be a king. No one with a different surname can be crowned king. Apart from that, there was nothing else that could impress him. Talk about it. The chips I have on hand are actually very few.
Thinking of this, Lin Tingchen felt cold in his heart.
But since the prince has something to do, he has no choice but to bite the bullet.
When I arrived at Beizhen Fusi and reported my name, a small flag from the Imperial Guard came out. There was no expression on his face: "It turns out to be Mr. Lin. The commander heard that you were coming and let you in."
Seeing that Xiao Qi¡¯s expression was very cold, Lin Tingchen¡¯s heart began to drum up inexplicably, he lowered his head and walked away, then came to a hall.
Zhu Xizhong is sitting in the hall. Staring at Lin Tingchen with a half-smile.
There was a middle-aged scribe sitting next to him. He looked downcast, indicating that he had just been reprimanded by Zhu Xizhong.
Lin Tingchen thought he was an aide to Duke Cheng. But he didn't take it to heart.
You must know that Duke Cheng Guo never smiled at him before. Lin Tingchen suddenly felt a little flustered and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "I have met Duke Cheng."
Zhu Xizhong: "It turns out to be Ting Chen. You haven't been here for a while. It's the New Year, but there are official matters in the ministry. If so, I'm afraid we have to wait until after the New Year."
Lin Tingchen murmured and said dryly: "Today is not business. It's really it's really" He panicked, but didn't know what to say.
Zhu Xizhong put away his smile: "Since it is a private matter, let's talk about it when we come down. This is Beiya. I sit here, so I have no private matters."
Lin Tingchen sweated immediately and took out a letter from his sleeve: "My lord, this is the letter from King Jing to your old man."
"Ah!" The scribe exclaimed, sweat suddenly dripped from his forehead, and he turned to look at Lin Tingchen fiercely.
"Prince Jing, I don't know him." Zhu Xizhong didn't accept the letter, and turned to look at the gentleman: "Brother Che, it's a coincidence today. I don't know whether Zhu Xizhong is a bad star or a lucky one, so he sent this letter. ?What do you think about this?"
The scribe's face was ashen and he couldn't say a word.
Zhu Xizhong: "Since you are all here, I naturally know what you want to do, so I won't read the letter. Come on, let me introduce it to you."
He pointed at the two of them: "ThisOne is called Che Di, who was sent by King Yu, and this one is called Lin Tingchen, who was sent by King Jing. "
"Ah!" This time it was Lin Tingchen's turn to scream, and he immediately lost his mind: "The Duke!"
But his body was shaking uncontrollably.
Zhu Xizhong didn't wait for the two of them to speak, and then said: "What's strange is that on New Year's Eve, the two princes sent people to act as lobbyists. What they said was that once the matter is completed, Zhu will be promoted to a high rank. . Hehe, so what if I made a bunch of wishes. I, Zhu Xizhong, am a Duke, my glory and wealth have come to an end, and I don¡¯t covet those false names.¡±
His face turned ferocious: "I don't care who becomes the crown prince in the future and what happens. But the title of Zhu Xizhong was given to me by Lord Long Live. I will do whatever Lord Long Live says?"
At this time, a fan walked in quickly: "Commander, Your Majesty has sent an order to you to immediately take this people into Xiyuan to enforce martial law!"
"Okay!" Zhu Xizhong stood up suddenly, pointed at Lin Tingchen and Che Di, and shouted: "Keep an eye on them. They are not allowed to leave this hall without my order, otherwise they will be killed immediately."
After finishing speaking, he immediately pulled out a waist knife from the weapon rack next to him and hung it on his waist, and shouted: "Bring me my armor!"
He was actually fully armed.
When Zhu Xizhong¡¯s sonorous footsteps went far away, the two people in the hall softened at the same time and collapsed to the ground.
A thought flashed through each other¡¯s hearts: Oh no, it¡¯s over!
It seems that the emperor must have failed, otherwise he would not have written an order to send Duke Cheng to Xiyuan to impose martial law.
Since the emperor had taken action to seal the country in advance, he had obviously realized that once he died, there would immediately be great turmoil.
Therefore, before leaving, he must smoothly hand over the power in his hands. In order to have a good death.
Everyone in the world knows how powerful Jiajing is. Now that he has made arrangements, everyone else has no choice but to catch him.
At the same time, a huge question arises in my mind: To whom will Banzai pass the throne?
Brother Che thought it was King Jing, otherwise the emperor would have appointed King Fu as the crown prince.
" Lin Tingchen thought it was King Yu. After all, King Yu is the one everyone hopes for.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Chen Hong, riding a fast horse, kept urging his men from behind the team to hurry up.
In front of you is Xiyuan, and you can already see the towering towers. As long as you rush in, you will see that the situation is completely under control.
By the time. Chen Hong alone has the final say on who to make emperor.
Turn his hands as clouds, cover his hands as rain, and the eldest husband should not come to this world.
But the road was covered with snow, and people and horses were slipping step by step as they walked on it. But he can't walk fast. The eunuchs of Pianshengdongchang usually looked majestic, but because of the stabbing, their yin and yang were out of balance, and their bodies were no weaker than ordinary people, so they walked such a long distance in one breath. Everyone was sweating profusely and their bodies were covered with snow and mud.
This time Dongchang is full of elites, numbering four hundred in number, all armed with swords, spears and other weapons. With this group of fresh troops here, it is no problem to control the entire Yuxi Palace.
The focus this time is Yuxi Palace, as long as you master it. If you get the emperor's edict, you will win.
This matter is extremely urgent, and Chen Hong also knows the truth of long nights and many dreams. He kept yelling and cursing.
The eunuchs suffered so much that they could only gather their energy and rush forward.
In a blink of an eye, we arrived at a long lane with high red walls on both sides. At the end of the lane was the square at the gate of Xiyuan.
But at this moment, the team in front suddenly stopped, causing a commotion.
Hundreds of eunuchs huddled together. No progress.
Chen Hong was furious and shouted: "What's going on? Why did you stop?"
An eunuch ran to Kulai with a sad face: "Godfather, godfather, something happened."
Chen Hong's heart sank. The best news now is that there is no news: "What's the matter?"
Eunuch: "Dad, the road ahead is blocked by people. They say they are from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division. They are so arrogant. After we registered our identities, they didn't give us any face at all. They even said they would transfer us to the East Factory. . He also said that they had received orders from their superiors to maintain security here and no one was allowed to pass by."
"It turned out to be Zhu Xizhong's man, but he turned against him!" Chen Hong was really afraid of what might happen, so he didn't care about scolding his mother and rushed forward on his horse.
After rushing through the alleyway, I saw about three hundred soldiers standing in front of me. They were brightly dressed and had strong bows and swords in their hands.Banditry.
There were still a few eunuchs lying on the ground moaning, obviously they had suffered a great loss.
The leader of the group of soldiers was a boy in his teens. Although he was young, he looked very brave.
Chen Hong stepped forward and scolded him sternly: "You are so bold. You stopped Dongchang from doing something. You don't want to live anymore? Do you know who our family is? The Chief Supervisor of Ceremony, Bingbi, and the Governor of Dongchang, Chen Hong."
"You don't have the East Factory to run errands, our Five Cities Military and Horse Department also has to run errands. I don't care who you are, if you dare to pass here, you will be killed without mercy!" The boy glanced sideways at Chen Hong, and suddenly there was a murderous look in his eyes. His hand was already on the hilt of the knife.
"Rebellion, rebellion, someone is here, take this kid down for me!" Chen Hong was trembling with anger.
"Yes!" The group of eunuchs behind shouted in unison and were about to step forward.
"Dare!" The boy also shouted loudly, stretched out his foot and drew a line on the ground: "My dear men, cock your arrows. Anyone who dares to cross this line will be shot!"
"Arrogant, arrogant!" Chen Hong shouted, "Come forward and chop this birdman to death!"
The eunuchs behind him all hesitated.
The boy laughed loudly: "Arrogance is nothing. When we were on the southeast front line, we had a lot of blood on our hands. If you don't believe me, you can try it! I say, Eunuch Chen, don't be impulsive. People like you are usually I'm used to being powerful, but I'm afraid it won't work if I really want my subordinates to see the real chapter."
He turned back and pointed proudly at his men: "Your men don't even wear armor. Look at my men. They are all in iron armor and have big bows in their hands. They dare to come to my place to call for formation. It's really an old man eating arsenic." , I¡¯m so impatient to live Let¡¯s go!¡±
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly snatched a spear from a soldier and threw it at Chen Hong with a cry of "Hoo!"
It hit Chen Hong's horse in the head.
With a mournful cry, the war horse tilted and fell to the ground.
Chen Hong also fell from his horse to the ground, and his head was covered with snow.
