Chapter 1047 1048 [King Qin comes to the rescue]

The Imperial Ancestral Temple Rebellion shook Kyoto. Some soldiers in the garrison rebelled. His Majesty and the Crown Prince were assassinated. News that Emperor Kaiping was seriously injured and comatose spread uncontrollably. It is unknown whether anyone among them contributed to the flames. The atmosphere in the capital has been peaceful and peaceful for more than ten years.

When the dynasty broke out, no matter the dignitaries or the common people, except for those who held official positions, they all closed their doors and were in fear.

The sound of soldiers running on the street outside further proved this. It didn't take long for all the shops to receive the order of martial law in Kyoto. Unemployed people were absolutely not allowed to appear on the streets. Violators would be killed without mercy.

The first-class Marquis of Xiangcheng, the commander of the Kyoto garrison division, Xiao Jin, personally led two hundred soldiers, each wearing armor, and rushed to the west gate of Kyoto as quickly as possible. Before he could dismount, he saw the burly Xicheng commander Pei Cheng approaching.

Come.

"I am humble enough to meet you Lord Marquis!"

Pei Cheng knelt on one knee, his face full of regret and guilt.

Xiao Jin helped him up with his own hands and said calmly: "There is no need to blame yourself. Wang Pingzhang has been in charge of military aircraft for sixteen years. It is not difficult to add sand to the garrison division. It is said that I, the coach, did not shoulder the responsibility of screening. This matter

But it can't be done again. Today, he turned the corner tower eight oxen crossbow, which meant that he used all the secret tricks he had prepared for more than ten years, and there is no chance to do it again. "

The hatred in Pei Cheng's eyes flashed, and he asked worriedly: "Master Marquis, Your Majesty——"

Xiao Jin interrupted him directly and said seriously: "Your Majesty is fine. He just suffered some minor injuries. He will recover in a few days. Do you remember?"

Pei Cheng's heart tightened, and he nodded and said, "I remember my humble position."

The visitor said without fear: "Of course it's the Zuo Junji of the West Prefecture, the order of Duke Wei! Today is the grand ceremony for establishing the crown prince in the Imperial Ancestral Temple. Liu Yun, Gu Liang, Xiao Jin and others conspired to kill the emperor. Everyone in Daliang tiger can kill him!"

Recalling that after returning to Beijing, Xiao Jin asked himself to take over as the commander of the West City garrison, which happened to be the West Camp of the Beijing Army. Could it be said that His Majesty and Xiao Jin anticipated today's situation at that time?

He felt his scalp numb, and when he was about to ask, a group of soldiers came quickly from a distance.

Without Xiao Jin's instructions, Pei Cheng has already put his soldiers into combat posture. The eight-niu crossbows in the northwest and southwest turrets are ready to shoot powerful spears at the city at any time. At the same time, a number of defensive equipment are deployed.

It is also fully prepared and waiting for the commander's order.

Pei Cheng understood the idea, took the bow and arrow from the guard, and then shot an arrow from a distance, hitting the man's chest and blocking his next words back into his throat.

At noon, the camp commanders and commanders received the command from the commander, and they all put aside what they were doing and rushed to the Chinese Army Festival Hall.

Wei Xiao was Gu Liang's confidant and the only remaining old man among the guards commanders in the southern camp. Everyone knew this.

At this moment, the officers and soldiers of the garrison division on the city wall shouted in surprise, and then several people quickly ran down the city wall and came to Xiao Jin and Pei Cheng. The panic on their faces could not be concealed at all, and they said in panic: "Hou

Master, there is an army outside the city!"

Another person mustered up the courage to ask: "Master Hou, this is a serious matter, is there any evidence?"

After everyone came and sat down, Luo Huanzhang, the commander-in-chief of the South Camp and the second-class army general, stood tall, raised his hand and pointed at a general, and said bluntly: "Take him down!"

Xiao Jin let out a breath of turbid air, and his expression became more solemn.

Two miles away from the Kyoto city wall, the vanguard troops of the Western Camp stopped and formed formation.

The other party's excuse is not very clever, but the situation has developed to this moment, and they just need an excuse.

Before he finished speaking, an old man walked into the festival hall surrounded by more than ten tough people.

Someone with sharp eyes immediately said angrily: "This is the West Camp of the Beijing Army!"

Xiao Jin's face darkened, and he immediately led everyone up the city wall.

Everyone knows the importance of Xiying to Wang Pingzhang. Now that he has launched an act of regicide, he will definitely leave the city and join Xiying. At the moment, he has not made such a choice. I don’t know whether he left Kyoto in another direction or left Kyoto in another direction.

He didn't leave the city at all, hoping to control the situation with his own status after the death of Emperor Kaiping?

Pei Cheng was suddenly shocked by some details.

Pei Cheng replied: "When those people took action, I asked my confidants to guard the gate. From the beginning to the end, no one left the city."

Xiao Jin raised his hand and patted Pei Cheng on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "There is no room for mistakes in the city gate."

The South Camp of the Beijing Army.

To the west of Kyoto, flags were flying, and tens of thousands of troops were in strict formation, slowly advancing eastward.

Xiao Jin raised his hand and waved.

He had been in Hucheng when he first joined the army. Xiao Jin was like a father and brother to him, and he knew the temperament of this first-class prince quite well. At this moment, he knew that Emperor Kaiping's injury was not optimistic.

The official name of the West Camp is the Xiaoqi Camp. It has one cavalry guard and three infantry guards, with a total strength of more than 50,000. When the Beijing camp was reorganized in the second year of Emperor Zhongzong's Jianping reign, the West Camp of the Beijing army was the only one that retained the original

An organized battalion, especially after Wang Pingzhang became the commander-in-chief of the Western Battalion, the battalion's combat effectiveness has always been at the top, and it has achieved excellent results in the Yanping Hunting and Frontier Army rotations over the years.

Xiao Jin changed the topic and asked: "Have all those rebels been killed?"

Pei Cheng lowered his head and said: "There are five people left alive, and all measures have been taken to prevent them from committing suicide. However, I believe that these people are clearly dead soldiers, and it is not easy to pry open their mouths."

If Xiao Jin hadn't been by his side, Pei Cheng would have cursed loudly.

Xiao Jin nodded and said with a deep look: "It doesn't matter whether it can be pried open. Since Wang Pingzhang decided to take action, both parties will fight to the death. After the rebels rose up, did anyone in the city leave from the west gate?"

Luo Huanzhang remained silent.

However, after they entered the festival hall, they found that the atmosphere today was completely different.

However, the news announced by Luo Huanzhang was really shocking. Wei Xiao struggled to ask: "Is it possible that the Marquis has not woken up yet? Do you want to lead everyone to commit a major crime of treason?"

Wei Xiao, the commander of the Longxiang Guards, said angrily: "Commander, what did you do with your humble position?"

Xiao Jin was not worried that the other party would attack the city immediately. With the strong and towering walls of Kyoto, Xiying would not be able to come up in a short time.

The leading general strode up to Xiao Jin and said quickly: "Your Majesty, there is no one in the Duke of Wei's palace!"

More than twenty miles south of Kyoto is Qingyang Gang.

Xiao Jin was not shocked. Xiying's appearance was expected, and judging from the time when the other party arrived in Kyoto, Wang Pingzhang had obviously made arrangements long ago.

Xiao Jin asked indifferently: "Whose order?"

Not long after, a horse flew out of the army formation below the city and galloped to the outside of the moat without fear of death. He looked up at the garrison soldiers on the city wall and said loudly: "The Western Camp of the Beijing Army has been ordered by King Qin to rescue us. Please hurry up."

Open the city gate!"

The officers and soldiers of the garrison all looked heavy. Judging from the advancing posture of the Western Camp, it was obvious that they were not here to take a tour outside Kyoto.

The tense and serious atmosphere is almost suffocating.

Before the generals could react, two soldiers appeared behind the man and restrained him with extremely high martial arts skills.

"My words are proof."

The whole hall was in an uproar.

He looked sternly at the Chinese army formation in the west camp in the distance. Is Wang Pingzhang there?

…

Although Emperor Kaiping only asked Xiao Jin to control the west city gate, there were some things that did not require the emperor to explain clearly. Xiao Jin knew what to do. But he knew that his people would definitely miss the mark. Wang Pingzhang was determined to do so after leaving the Ancestral Temple.

He will not return to the mansion, and it is impossible for the Wang family's children to stay in the mansion and wait for the wrath of the court.

Pei Cheng cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I will do my best in this humble position."

Luo Huanzhang said in a deep voice: "I have just received an urgent report. At today's Imperial Ancestral Temple's Crown Prince Ceremony, Guliang, the Marquis of Guangping, and Xiao Jin, the Marquis of Xiangcheng, under the instruction of the second prince Liu Yun, conspired to rebel and kill the king. Now His Majesty is seriously injured.

I am unconscious, Kyoto has fallen into the hands of thieves, and I have been ordered to send troops to the capital to quell the rebellion. Do you hear this clearly?"

It was none other than Duke Wei of Daliang and Wang Pingzhang of Zuo Junji of Xifu.

There was another young man walking alongside him.

All the generals in the hall were eclipsed because this young man was actually wearing the robes of a prince.

His name is Liu Zhi, the sixth prince under Emperor Kaiping.
