Your Majesty is happy [rebirth]

Chapter 51

After nightfall, he heard messy and noisy footsteps coming from outside. Xu Chongqing, who had been fidgeting and restless since leaving the palace, stood up abruptly and ordered someone to open the door. Unsurprisingly, there were at least people outside. There were hundreds of soldiers and horses, but unexpectedly, these people were not Ling Qiyou's imperial guards as he thought, but the hundreds of people who were closely guarding King Xuan, and the leader, holding a sharp sword, The person pointing straight at him was none other than Ling Jing.

"King Xuan!" Seeing Ling Jing ordering people to surround his mansion, Xu Chongqing's face turned blue: "You are going to rebel!"

Ling Jing raised her eyebrows: "It's a joke, this king is completely loyal to His Majesty, what kind of rebellion did you create, don't you want to slander this king!"

"Then what are you doing?! You surrounded my house with so many people! You said you were not going to rebel?! You...you are so brave!"

Facing his anger, Ling Jing dismissed him, the point of the sword was still pointing straight at him, his eyes were full of coldness, and he sneered: "This king is dealing with you! You framed the people around this king, and let the king's My favorite is to die here, tell me, do you want me to ask you to settle this account?"

"You're talking nonsense! The guard next to you was originally a spy of the Nanman. What does it have to do with me if you colluded with the Nanman?!"

"Lexin, he has nothing to do with the Nanman Kingdom, but you, with ulterior motives, first recommended that Nanman spy to the late emperor to serve as an official in the court, and then ordered him to frame the king after he killed King Luo and King Qi. What is your intention? Your Majesty He was blinded by you, a treacherous official, and executed Le Xin, and this king does not care about him, but today, this king will take the side of His Majesty Qing, and kill you, a rebellious official and traitor who colluded with foreign enemies to bring disaster to the country and the people!"

"You...you are talking nonsense!" Xu Chongqing was trembling with anger, arguing loudly: "The person who colluded with the Nanman Kingdom is obviously you! You and the Nanman spies have also robbed the prince before! Now you have brought people to surround me, the Shangshu Mansion, what are you going to do?! You should be the traitor who deserves to be hacked to pieces!"

Ling Jing sneered, and pointed the sword forward: "I don't talk so much nonsense with you, Le Xin was killed by your people, and I want to avenge Le Xin now!"

"Call-"

The horse under him let out a long cry, and was blocked by two crossed swords, Xiao Chuqian pulled the horse to a stop, coldly glanced at the soldier blocking him, and shouted: "Get out!"

The swords crossed in front of him did not move away, someone stepped forward and asked him respectfully, "General Chu is going out of the city so late?"

Xiao Chuqian looked over and saw that it was the chief guard of the North City Gate. He raised his chin and ordered: "This general is ordered to go out of the city overnight to the North Army Camp and open the city gate."

The other party frowned: "Now? The city gate has been closed..."

Xiao Chuqian raised the bright yellow imperial decree in Yang's hand: "You see clearly! This general is leaving Beijing by order! You open the door for this general now!"

"Can……"

"Are you trying to disobey the order?! Still not opening the door?!"

Being reprimanded by him, the other party hesitated for a moment, not daring not to refuse. After all, he ordered someone to open the city gate. Before leaving, Xiao Chuqian suddenly turned his head to look at him again, and said, "Shut the city gate tightly. If you dare to open the city gate privately to let outsiders in according to His Majesty's will, use your head to weigh the consequences."

After finishing speaking, seeing the other party's body tremble, Xiao Chuqian waved his whip, and galloped out on the horse.

The barracks was brightly lit at the moment, and the soldiers were lined up neatly and ready to go. Xiao Chuqian suddenly appeared with dozens of people, catching everyone by surprise. Two deputy commanders came up to meet them, their faces changed, and they pretended to be calm and asked him: "General Why did you suddenly come to the barracks at this time?"

Xiao Chuqian never stayed in the barracks. He came in the morning and went back to the city after noon. These two deputy commanders stayed in the barracks almost day and night, so they were very surprised to see him appearing suddenly. , and these two people have much higher prestige in the Beijing North Army Camp than Xiao Chuqian, just like Lin Tan who had been executed before, they are Xu Chongqing's most trusted confidantes.

Xiao Chuqian glanced at the scene in front of him and his eyes sank, and asked them: "What is this going to do? Why did you gather so many people in the middle of the night? Why didn't this general know anything about it before?"

"Yes... practice..."

The two of them faltered, Xiao Chuqian said: "Practice? Practicing at this hour? Are you General Lie Ben?"

Then he waved his hand and ordered: "Let's go, and you've been tossing around in the middle of the night, go back and rest."

The two of them looked at each other, naturally they refused to follow what he said, one of them gritted his teeth and said directly: "We just received the news that King Xuan rebelled, and I'm going to lead troops to rescue him."

"King Xuan raised troops to rebel?" Xiao Chuqian seemed to be listening to a joke: "How can he rebel with only a few hundred soldiers by his side? When you think that the tens of thousands of guards in the city are all dead? Do you need to rescue him?"

"The last generals are also worried about His Majesty..."

"Your Majesty is fine," Xiao Chuqian interrupted them coldly: "Some troubles happened in Beijing tonight, but it's not a big deal. Your Majesty makes his own decision. This general came out of the city specially to tell you that you don't need to worry about things in the city. .”

Seeing that the two were still standing still, Xiao Chuqian's voice became a little colder: "What? Do you not believe what this general said? Or do you not believe what His Majesty said?"

"Your Majesty may be fine...but the last generals heard that King Xuan led troops to surround Uncle Xu's mansion..."

"Your Majesty will also send someone to rescue him, it has nothing to do with you."

"Can……"

"Without His Majesty's will, no one is allowed to dispatch troops without authorization, have you all forgotten?!"

"Don't dare," the two said through gritted teeth, "but now that His Majesty and Uncle Guo are in danger, I'll wait..."

Xiao Chuqian didn't want to hear what they had to say, so he raised his chin and signaled the soldiers following him to unfold the imperial decree and declare it directly.

Anyone who steps out of the barracks without the permission of the imperial decree will be killed without mercy.

Xiao Chuqian clenched the sword in his hand, and raised it high, so that all the generals and soldiers present could see it clearly: "This is the sword bestowed by His Majesty, if anyone feels like taking a step out of this barracks today, don't blame the general for being rude."

There was a deathly silence, the people present, those low-level soldiers had no decision-making power, except for the two deputy commanders, more than half of the dozen or so generals were also Xu Chongqing's people, and most of the rest were neutral, Xiao Chuqian It is very clear that he only brought dozens of people with him. If these people don't care about them, it is very likely that they will kill him and then directly kill Shangjing. The chief guard of the North City Gate is also like them. Open the city gate and let them go.

Of course Xiao Chuqian is not afraid, he said: "You should think about it clearly, it is disrespectful to insist on going out of the barracks at this time, if you insist on going into the city, then you are not going to rescue him, but committing a crime."

As soon as the word "offensive" was uttered, many people were so shocked that the weapons in their hands fell to the ground. After a while, one general after another hesitantly led his soldiers back, and finally only the last one was left. Of the four or five people who were stubborn, the two deputy commanders led the way.

Xiao Chuqian looked at them coldly: "Are you still determined to go out?"

"Are you with King Xuan? Who knows if the edict in your hand is true or not..."

Stubborn, Xiao Chuqian shook his head, pulled out the sword in his hand, and the sword pierced through the chest of one of them in a blink of an eye. Already collapsed with a bang, eyes wide open, dying with regret.

Xiao Chuqian neatly pulled out the blood-dripping sword blade, and pointed at the few in front of him: "You can see clearly, this is the Shang Fang sword given to His Majesty by the Emperor Taizu. This general is indeed acting according to the order. Who dares to disobey? If you are disloyal to His Majesty, and to the entire Dasheng Dynasty, this person's fate will be your fate!"

Someone was already startled, and the other deputy commander who came back to his senses blushed and shouted loudly: "Come on! Take him down! Take him down!"

The imperial guards who came behind Xiao Chuqian drew their swords one after another, Xiao Chuqian made a sharp move, but after three moves, another result came out, and the people who were still clamoring just now fell into a pool of blood as well. Killed.

"Who else wants to continue?" He pulled out the blood-soaked sword blade and smiled like a ghost: "This general will definitely accompany you to the end."

Zhaode Hall.

After ordering the matter, Ling Qiyou waved his hand and made people retreat, Shen Lexin turned around from the bedroom beside him, biting his lips and hesitated to speak, Ling Qiyou said indifferently: "If you have something to say, just say it, you Isn't there something to say all the time?"

"Your Majesty asked Ling Jing to encircle Uncle Guo's mansion for a while, and then sent the imperial guards to rescue Uncle Xu. What exactly are you going to do?"

"My brother is not always very smart, how could he not guess what I want to do?"

"...Your Majesty still doesn't want to break face with Uncle Guo directly, and wants to give him a chance?"

Ling Qiyou did not deny that today he told Xu Chongqing about going to Jiangdong, the other party must be forced to jump over the wall, rather than waiting until he committed the crime regardless, he would rather preemptively strike, but he promised Queen Mother Xu not to treat his uncle To kill them all, so he asked Ling Jing to surround Xu Chongqing's mansion, and then sent his own Imperial Guards to control him in the name of rescue guards. Even if he was arrested, he would be escorted to Jiangdong. One chance, if he still refuses to hand over the talisman after going to Jiangdong, then he can't be blamed for being ruthless.

"However, by doing so, it's not just giving the two armies an excuse to enter the city. It can be said that they are here to save you..."

"So I asked Xiao Chuqian to deal with them with the imperial decree and the Shangfang sword bestowed by Emperor Taizu," Ling Qiyou said, "Most of the uncle's cronies are in the northern military camp, and there are not many people he can mobilize in the southern military camp. Bian must be watching the changes and not acting rashly, the Northern Army camp was already ready to move, and I simply gave them this excuse, as long as they move, I have a reason to deal with them openly."

Shen Lexin curled her lips: "Ling Jing has really become a traitor..."

Ling Qiyou finally smiled: "Actually, this is what you are most worried about, right?"

"..." Shen Lexin acquiesced to his words.

"I don't think he is him, and he is not. There is a personal enmity between him and the uncle of the country. I will not favor any one."

With Ling Qiyou's words, Shen Lexin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression became much more relaxed, and asked him with a smile: "Your Majesty even gave the Shangfang sword bestowed by Emperor Taizu to that surnamed Xiao. You really trust me so much." Him? Are you afraid that he will turn against him if he takes the sword?"

"..." Now it was Ling Qiyou's turn to have nothing to say. After a long time, he looked away and muttered in a low voice: "... If he dares, I will kill his son."

Little Mantou turned over in his sleep, unaware that his father was plotting to kill him.

After saying this, Shen Lexin felt a little embarrassed to laugh at this awkward emperor's younger brother: "Then... Your Majesty is not worried that he will be eaten by those people from the Northern Army Camp if he only brings a few people there?"

"...he can do it."

Ling Qiyou said in his heart, Xiao Chuqian must be able to do it.
