Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 635 The Wind Rises (1)

   It was just dawn, and in the Mengjia army's barracks, the soldiers had already got up and dressed and entered the school martial arts field for training.

  The Marquis of Guangping, as the main general of the Meng family army, led the army for many years and was very prestigious in the army. The training is also quite strict. Get up at five watch every day, and go to the school martial arts field with the soldiers to run and practice boxing.

  The Marquis of Guangping could not leave the barracks, but he always kept in mind the situation in the capital.

   When the personal soldiers sent by Mrs. Guangping Hou arrived, the Hou Guangping jumped in his heart, and immediately took the letter from the personal soldiers, opened it, and his face suddenly sank.

   He was not in the mood to practice boxing any more, so he returned to the military tent with the letter, leaving only one confidant in the tent.

   Guangping Hou sat on the chair and slowly read the letter again, his face uncertain.

   The confidant whispered: "Master Hou, is something wrong?"

  The Marquis of Guangping nodded slightly, but did not say anything.

   The confidantes were also silent.

  The Marquis of Quang Ping stood up and paced back and forth in the military tent. His brows twitched into Sichuan characters. Apparently worrying about something very important.

   just wandered back and forth like this, and walked for half an hour. The eyes of the soldiers were almost gone.

  The Marquis of Guangping finally made up his mind, stopped, called his personal soldiers over, and gave a few words in a low voice.

After listening to the    personal soldier, his face changed slightly, and he said boldly: "Master Hou, this is not a trivial matter. If it fails, the emperor will investigate it in the future..."

   That is a felony!

   No matter how much credit Guangping Hou Li has done, he can't help the emperor's thunderous anger. Probably going to lose his head.

  The Marquis of Guangping twitched the corners of his mouth, without the slightest smile on his face, his eyes gloomy: "According to my order, send the order."

   The personal soldiers had to be ordered to retreat.

   The Marquis of Guangping was alone in the military tent.

  The Marquis of Guangping exhaled a long breath, and his eyes became more and more gloomy.

   Emperor Yongjia suffered a stroke and could only lie on the dragon couch. During this period of time, only Qiao Gelao and Yao Shang wrote to the Holy Spirit. The rest of the courtiers could not see Emperor Yongjia at all.

   A person who can't even sit on the dragon chair in the Golden Palace, how can he be fit to be the emperor?

  Whether Emperor Yongjia likes it or not, there is only one way left. That is to wait for the prince to return to Beijing and give way to the prince. Soon, the Great Wei world will change hands, and all the ministers will bow down to the prince...

Ah!

   Of course he was not convinced!

  I miss him Meng Hui, who followed Li Yuan to conquer the world since he was young. The people who have been killed are more rice than Li Jing has eaten. The victories that have been won are innumerable.

   He can bow his head to Li Yuan and obey, Li Jing is a stinky young boy, why is he above him? Just because he is the prince?

snort!

   A chill flashed across Guangping Hou's eyes, and he clenched his right fist.

  …

   There are four major military camps in the capital, and the Imperial Guard is located in the imperial city. The Meng family's army, the Xingyang army's Zhao family's army, are located on three sides of the suburbs of Beijing, with different orientations. The barracks of the Xingyang army and the Meng family army were about a hundred miles apart, and it took three or four hours to ride a fast horse.

  The movement in the Meng family's army camp reached the Xingyang army camp, and it was almost evening.

With a solemn face,    hurriedly entered Lu Lin's military tent: "General, there will be something important to report at the end."

  Lu Linzheng called the generals in the army to discuss the matter. It was too late for the solemn communication, so I broke in like this. It was obvious that something urgent had happened.

   Lu Lin's heart sank, and he first signaled the officers and captains to retire.

   Weng and son-in-law were soon left in the army tent.

   solemnly and impatiently reported in a low voice: "Father-in-law, something is bad. News came from the dark post that the Marquis of Guangping suddenly ordered 2,000 personal soldiers and left the barracks today. They should have entered the city gate by now!"

What?

   Lu Lin's eyes flashed coldly: "The Empress has a phoenix decree, and the generals are not allowed to leave the barracks without a summons. The Marquis of Guangping blatantly disobeyed her decree and led his own soldiers into the capital. What did he want to do?"

The    Palace was heavily guarded by the Imperial Guard, and General Liang personally guarded the Wenhua Hall. The mere 3,000 personal soldiers could not make waves at all.

   It's just that the Marquis of Quang Ping disobeyed Feng's decree and led troops out of the barracks.

   solemnly tightened his brows and said in a low voice, "I couldn't think of this for a while. However, in my opinion, the Marquis of Guangping must have a plan."

  Lu Lin stretched out his hand and stroked his short beard, and quickly made a decision: "Zhengzhong, you go to order 3,000 people immediately. I will personally lead them out of the barracks."

   There is a time difference in the transmission of messages. The Marquis of Guangping has now entered the city gate, and it is too late to stop him. At this time, the reason for bringing troops into Beijing is to be able to take action in time, just in case.

  Three thousand soldiers, not too many, not too few, enough to deal with sudden accidents.

   Xingyang's army totaled 100,000, and Lu Fei took 50,000 to Jiangnan. Fifty thousand left in the barracks. Taking them out of the barracks is no different from raising an army to rebel. Taking 3,000 soldiers out of the barracks was also a taboo. However, before the Holy Spirit, there is always room for self-defense.

   Quang Ping Hou ordered 2,000 soldiers to leave the barracks for the same reason.

Solemnly replied without hesitation: "Yes, I'll go to order troops now." After a pause, he said in a low voice, "Father-in-law, let me lead the troops out of the barracks! If something happened, the emperor blamed me, no It will implicate my father-in-law."

But Lu Lin said: "The Marquis of Guangping goes out in person, this is no trivial matter. You have a low official position and low qualifications, and you are not very useful in front of the old fox of the Marquis of Guangping. Okay, don't have to say anything, hurry up and order troops. , I'll leave immediately!"

   solemnly had to retreat.

   Lu Lin quickly put on his soft armor and wiped the long knife sharply.

   Half an hour later, three thousand Xingyang troops rode out of the barracks. The horses galloped, raising the dust. Lu Lin's face was as cold as ice, cold and threatening.

  …

   The sky was getting darker, lanterns were hung around the Zongren Mansion, and hundreds of guards were patrolling around. The atmosphere was condensed and cold.

   After interrogating Yao Shangshu all day, he rubbed his forehead and left the dungeon.

   Min Shilang and Zhu Shilang both looked unlucky.

  The Duke of Dongping County came forward and asked in a low voice, "Master Yao, did the Third Highness open his mouth to confess his guilt today?"

  Yao Shangshu shook his head with a wry smile: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince has a tenacious will, and I have only seen it in my life. I have tried everything, but I have not been able to make him confess his guilt."

Zhu Shilang was indignant and dissatisfied, and couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "Neither torture nor forced interrogation. All kinds of means are useless. If it were an ordinary person, within two days, I would have him open his mouth to confess his guilt. ."

   There are many people who are good at criminal trials in the penal department. Zhu Shilang and Min Shilang are also very experienced. However, the noble prince who is facing him now cannot use punishment, and the method of tossing people is not suitable.

   Such a frivolous interrogation, no wonder Li Hao could stand it.

   Yao Shangshu glared at Zhu Shilang, and Zhu Shilang stopped his mouth angrily.

  The Duke of Dongping County was about to open his mouth to speak, when a guard rushed over with a panic-stricken look: "Reporting to the Prince of the County, something is bad. The Duke of Guangping led people to surround the Zongren's mansion!"
