The willows are swaying, the breeze is blowing, and in late autumn, the weather becomes cooler and brighter. The Nanjing Pier has been under martial law. A whole team of soldiers stood on the pier, literally every ten steps and one sentry. These soldiers are different from those in Nanjing. Although they are wearing mandarin duck armor and have knives hanging on their waists, each one of them has a musket on his back. The important thing is to be energetic, not to see a sluggish look, and to look resolute. His eyes were also very sharp, making people afraid to look at him. A ship was moored on both sides of the bank, and people began to get off the ship one after another, but there was no ship in the middle. Until a three-story blessing boat slowly sailed here, both the soldiers and the people on both sides were all kneeling on the ground neatly, with their heads low, and no one raised their head. Emperor Tianqi walked down from the deck, his face slightly gloomy. He already knew the news about the closure of Nanjing. After Dang Han delivered the news, he was rushed back to Nanjing by Emperor Tianqi. Now, Jin Yiwei's spies send letters to Emperor Tianqi every day. Although the city of Nanjing was sealed, news never ceased. Before they arrived in Nanjing, Emperor Tianqi already knew what happened here, and Emperor Tianqi also knew the plans of Wei Guogong and Luo Sigong. Emperor Tianqi breathed a sigh of relief that no major accident occurred. When he arrived in Nanjing today, Emperor Tianqi did not meet anyone, and there was no guard of honor to greet him. Everything seemed quiet. "Your Majesty, camp outside the city! The situation in Nanjing is unstable. Your Majesty should not go to the city for the time being!" Chen Hong walked to Emperor Tianqi and said with a bit of worry on his face. However, he shook the whisk in his hand tightly, knowing that Emperor Tianqi might not listen to his advice. After waving his hands, Emperor Tianqi saw that Sun Chuanting and others also wanted to speak, and said: "When I arrive in Nanjing, I will naturally live in the palace. You guys open the way in front! Don't waste time, I want to go to the city to take a good look at these things about me. Minister. " Emperor Tianqi's reaction was already expected. Seeing that Emperor Tianqi's attitude was very firm, no one spoke. Under the escort of a thousand troops from the capital camp, Emperor Tianqi headed towards Nanjing City. Under Nanjing City, Shen Quan and Yang Shu were waiting quietly. The news has been passed in, and there will be news soon. "What's going on? Why don't you come out yet?" The two of them were a little impatient. Half an hour had passed and there was still no news from Nanjing. Shen Quan couldn't help but complain. "There are more than 10,000 of us here, and these people should be more rigorous!" Although Yang Shu was a little impatient, he still spoke to persuade Shen Quan. Without waiting for a while, the gate of Nanjing City slowly opened, and people and horses rushed out from inside. The leader is a young man. Wearing a snow-white gown and no weapons, he looked like a young man traveling on a trip. Judging from his appearance, he looks like a handsome young man from the world, with a faint smile on his face. "Are there two generals Shen Quan and Yang Shu in front of us? Young Master Mu is here, come and see us!" The group just walked out of the city gate and stopped. A big man shouted at Shen Quan and Yang Shu at the top of his voice. . Shen Quan and Yang Shu were in a daze for a moment, but they did not dare to delay at all. There were not many Young Master Mu in this world. The only person who can appear here is Mu Tianbo. Emperor Tianqi thought highly of Mu Tianbo, an official in the Military Aircraft Department. The status is naturally extraordinary. However, Mu Tianbo is not a military aircraft minister, but he is not qualified to make the two people qualify for the past, but the identity of Mu Xiaoyong is not talking about it. The two men asked their guards to wait where they were, and then walked over. They had met Mu Tianbo and had confirmed that the boy in white was Young Master Mu. Arriving in front of Mu Tianbo, Shen Quan and Yang Shu stood up and dismounted. He held his fists respectfully and said, "The last general Shen Quan and the last general Yang Shu have met the young prince!" Mu Tianbo also stood up and dismounted. He was not the Duke of Guizhou yet. Mu Tianbo is not so arrogant. He walked to the two of them, helped them up, and said with a smile: "There are some things in the city. The two generals have been waiting for a long time!" "Young Master, you are so polite! Please go out of the city to greet me, and kill the last general. !" The two of them didn't dare to say anything, Yang Shu said politely. Looking behind the two people with a smile, Mu Tianbo asked with some urgency: "Two generals, you are already here. Is the Holy Master also here?" "Back to the young master, we are here on the order of the emperor. , As for the whereabouts of the Holy Master, I will never know!" Shen Quan had a smile on his face. Of course he knew that Emperor Tianqi was coming, but he couldn't say that. No matter who the other party is, if he reveals the emperor's whereabouts privately, he will be beheaded. Nodding slowly, Mu Tianbo knew very well that when these two people came, Emperor Tianqi must also have arrived. But if they don¡¯t say anything, there is nothing they can do. After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "I don't know why you two came here with the order? I don't know if I can help?" Yang Shu did not say.?, waiting for Shen Quan to speak, he led the troops all the way over. It was not clear what he could say. Shen Quan came from Emperor Tianqi, and he was the one who really had the will. Showing his fist to Mu Tianbo, Shen Quan said with a smile: "Young Master, we have two purposes here. One is to eliminate the traitors in Nanjing and prepare to welcome the Holy Emperor. The other is to capture the traitors according to the order. Yes, we want to see Duke Wei, please help me find Duke Wei." As expected, it was for this matter. Mu Tianbo had a look of helplessness on his face, shook his head and said, "Let's go! I'll take you to find Duke Wei. But do your troops also want to enter the city?" Although he didn't want these troops to enter the city, Mu Tianbo also knew that he couldn't make the decision on this matter. "Young Master, I wonder what the situation is like in Nanjing?" Shen Quan asked without answering Mu Tianbo's question. "There is indeed a rebellion in Nanjing City, but Wei Guogong has led his people to eliminate it, and it is no longer a serious problem. In my opinion, the two generals can just go in with a few people, and the large force should be stationed outside the city!" Mu Tianbo still said what he meant and waited quietly for the two of them to make a decision. Shen Quan glanced at Yang Shu and said in a deep voice: "Yang Shu, you lead the army to camp, and I will lead a thousand people in!" Yang Shu nodded slowly, and Yang Shu naturally understood and looked at Shen meaningfully. Quan said: "Be careful!" In the imperial palace in Nanjing City, Wei Guogong stood at the entrance of the palace. Opposite him was an old eunuch. His face is full of wrinkles and his body is a little stooped, but his eyes are extremely frightening. "My lord, this palace is not an ordinary place. It's not something anyone can come to if they want to. As for the traitors you mentioned, they don't exist here. My lord, you'd better go elsewhere to judge! Our family has been ordered to guard this place. Of course there will be no problem." After listening to Wei Guogong's words, the old eunuch quickly smiled and waved his hand. " Wei Guogong was no stranger to the old eunuch in front of him, and his status was not low. Before the Wei Dynasty, the Duke of Dongchang came to power, there was a very powerful eunuch named Chen Ju in the palace. Chen Ju Eunuch Chen entered the palace at the age of nine. He was quite upright and was called "Buddha" by others. Chen Jushen was trusted by Emperor Shenzong and could be said to be a very powerful eunuch. However, Chen Jushen was an upright man and had no bad reputation, so he was not that famous. From Chen Ju's position, we can see his power. At that time, Chen Ju was also in charge of the East Factory as the eunuch in charge of rites, which was rare even in the Ming Dynasty. Liu Jin, who had great power at that time, was just the eunuch in charge of the rites and eunuchs. Although the Dongchang was controlled by his followers, he did not also control the Dongchang. From this point alone, Chen Ju's status is extremely high. The old eunuch in front of him is named Chen Ling, who is Chen Ju's godson. He also has a godbrother, who is also Chen Ju's godson, and is the current eunuch Bingbi Chen Hong, the eunuch of the ceremonial department. After Chen Ju's death, Chen Ling came to Nanjing to take care of the palace, while Chen Hong stayed in the capital. Duke Wei and Duke Chen are old acquaintances and know his character. Naturally, he said there are no traitors here, which means there are no traitors. Although Mr. Chen is showing his old age, Mr. Wei Guogong knows that this man is definitely a ruthless character. I don¡¯t know the reason at that time, but maybe he came to Nanjing because he was disheartened after Chen Ju¡¯s death. In Wei Guogong¡¯s view, if Chen Ling stayed in the capital, he would at least be the eunuch of the Bureau of Ceremony, Bingbi, and he might even be able to take charge of the East Factory. "In this case, my Lord is leaving! However, I still have to remind Eunuch Chen that the Emperor is coming to Nanjing soon, and the palace must be well prepared. An assassination incident occurred in the imperial envoy's palace. In the palace You still have to pay attention." Wei Guogong was still a little worried and couldn't help but say. Chen Ling cupped his hands in front of Duke Wei and said with a smile: "My lord, this palace is different from the outside. There are people like ours everywhere here. What problems do you think there will be?" Duke Wei suddenly felt a little embarrassed. There are all eunuchs here. Who is the most loyal to the emperor, it must be these eunuchs. What's more, Chen Ling is a master in this way, so his worries are a bit unnecessary. He smiled and turned around to leave. But before they had made it very far, Mu Tianbo came over on horseback, followed naturally by Shen Quan and the 500 troops from the capital camp. When he came to the Duke of Wei, Mu Tianbo dismounted, smiled and saluted, and said, "My nephew has met the Duke of Wei. This one is from the capital, following the emperor's order!" After saying that, he let Shen Quan out. Shen Quan quickly picked up his clothes and knelt down on the ground, saying respectfully: "General Shen Quan, I have met Duke Wei." He nodded slowly. Duke Wei was more polite to Chen Ling, but not so polite to Shen Quan. After receiving Shen Quan¡¯s prayer, he didn¡¯t say anything in return. He just said, ¡°Get up!¡± ?Thank you, Mr. Guo! "Shen Quan quickly got up from the ground. As for Wei Guogong not returning the gift, that is really normal. It would be strange if he did. Except for the commander of the Jin Yiwei, the other commanders are probably not in the eyes of Wei Guogong. (To be continued.) .)
