The Record of Righteousness
Chapter 213: Old tricks repeated
Forbidden City, Xianju Palace!
Once Wan Qing and other rebels killed the officers and soldiers and fled, the Forbidden City was under martial law. Soldiers of the Three Guards and Jinyiwei were seen patrolling everywhere.
After Zhu Zongxun finished his morning court session, he continued to drink and have fun in Xianju Palace, completely forgetting that the rebels had just escaped. Just a few rebels could not cause any trouble!
It was already midnight, and the lights in Xianju Palace were still bright and there was still singing and dancing. Zhu Zongxun was drinking and having fun. Only then did he know why everyone wanted to be the emperor!
Just as he was drinking with several charming women in his arms, his personal eunuch Xu Chunxian ran in in a panic, his face pale, and he bowed his head.
"Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened, something terrible has happened!"
"Hmm?"
Zhu Zongxun slowly put down the wine cup in his hand, turned his head and looked at Xu Chunxian lying on the ground, his eyes were blurred and he was obviously drunk.
"What are you panicking about? Tell me slowly if you have anything to say!"
Xu Chunxian almost buried his head in the ground, and said in a trembling voice with tears:
"Your Majesty! I just received a report that the Governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Fang Daqing, killed the three newly appointed envoys of the court and raised troops to rebel! Shandong General Zhang Lingchong designed to kill the Governor of Shandong and many soldiers and generals, and controlled the twelve guards of Shandong. The two rebel forces have conquered several prefectures! Now the two rebel forces have joined forces in Kaifeng Prefecture, and the troops are heading straight for the capital. I am afraid that they will be at the gates of the city soon!"
"What?!!!"
This bad news was like a bolt from the blue, which made Zhu Zongxun see stars, be at a loss, and his mind was blank!
The wine cup that was just passed to his mouth fell to the ground with a clang. The dancers and singers who were still singing and dancing immediately retreated after noticing something was wrong.
A moment later, Zhu Zongxun's eyes were bloodshot. He roared and overturned the dragon table in front of him. The delicacies and fine wine on it scattered all over the floor. Xu Chunxian was afraid that it would affect him, so he dared not breathe.
"I should have killed these two ungrateful warriors long ago!"
"These two ungrateful bastards! One got promoted by cheating, and the other was born in the White Lotus Rebellion Party. They don't think about how I treated them well! Traitors are really traitors!"
"And those local officials, local soldiers and generals, what on earth do they do?! What use do I have for them?! They couldn't even resist the two rebel forces, that's fine, but this military information was only reported to the court today! A bunch of bastards! I really want to chop off their dog heads! Let's see what's in their heads!!"
""
After smashing and cursing and roaring together, Zhu Zongxun relieved some of his anger and sat on the dragon chair, panting.
At this time, it was obviously not enough time to mobilize the troops from other places. At present, only the Liaodong Army was available, which could keep the rebels out of the capital before they came!
"Pass on my imperial decree! Urgently order Liaodong Admiral Zhai Zongyao to lead the Liaodong Army to aid the capital, stationed in Hejian and Zhending, and make sure to keep the rebels out of the capital!"
"Order all provinces to dispatch soldiers from the garrisons to encircle and suppress the rebels together with the Liaodong Army!"
"Yes! I obey your orders!"
After receiving the order, Xu Chunxian hurried out of the palace.
. . .
The first year of Tianxing.
Fang Daqing, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Zhang Lingchong, the general of Shandong, raised troops to rebel. The eldest prince Zhu Zongdan, who was known as Minzong, was the orthodox of the world. He was respected as Minghuizong and vowed to avenge Emperor Huizong, overthrow the traitors of this dynasty, and let the spirit of the late emperor rest in peace!
The two rebel armies rose up in Jiangsu and Zhejiang and Shandong respectively. As the rebel armies had been preparing for battle and were aggressive, the imperial army was unprepared and was defeated. The rebel armies were unstoppable and conquered dozens of prefectures along the way. Finally, the two rebel armies joined forces in Kaifeng Prefecture.
After the two rebel armies joined forces, they were called a 100,000-strong army and marched straight to the capital!
The two prefectures outside the capital, Shuntian Prefecture and Zhending Prefecture, were already under the command of 30,000 elite Liaodong troops led by Zhai Zongyao!
The rebel army galloped straight to the capital, and in less than a month, they were at the gates of the city!
The two armies faced each other, and the tents were densely packed, like connecting the sky, and the war was about to break out!
However, after fighting for half a month, the two armies lost countless soldiers and horses, and blood flowed like a river. The rebel army did not make any progress, and the elite Liaodong troops also suffered heavy casualties!
In the dead of night, in the general's tent of the Liaodong Army!
There was a large map in front of Zhai Zongyao's desk. He frowned and pointed at it with his chin in his hand. His handsome face was dark and he hadn't closed his eyes for two days.
At this time, he was thinking hard about how to repel the enemy. He sat down slowly and unconsciously, but suddenly found that there were two more men in black in front of him!
"Who are you?!!"
Zhai Zongyao's eyes widened and his hair stood up. He drew his sword and stabbed.
But the man in black waved his hand easily, and something popped out from his hand. With a "ding" sound, the sword in his hand flew out!
"You!!!"
After the sword in his hand was bounced away, Zhai Zongyao felt numb at the palm of his hand. The person on the other side must be a martial arts master. He opened his mouth and wanted to call his personal soldiers to come in, but the man in black had a cold look in his eyes with a hint of amusement, and he had seen through his mind long ago!
"Uh uh"
But the shadow flashed, and the man's dry hand was already pinching Zhai Zongyao's neck, making the latter's face red and extremely painful.
Soon, everything in front of Zhai Zongyao gradually blurred, and he only heard the black-clothed man in front of him saying:
"Di Ou, this face is handed over to you, don't damage it."
“Yes, yes, Lord Wan, don’t worry! Hehehe, this face is so nice, I will be heartbroken if it is damaged!”
