To the southeast of the outer city, Zuoanmen.
It was almost noon, and Sun Shaozong was sitting in the pergola not far from the gate. The only people at the same table with him were the city gate officials here.
The city gate officer is the deputy of the gatekeepers.
At this time, not to mention the 100 households of the sixth rank, there were even three of the 1000 households of the fifth rank standing around. Although not half of them would look at him, the city gate official was still sitting on pins and needles.
Several times I wanted to get up and stand there, but I saw that Sun Shaoqing on the other side seemed to be leisurely, but he clenched Frostmourne tightly, and his legs couldn't use any strength.
Just when he tried to stand up for the sixth time, a man strode out of the city gate and shouted from a distance: "Sir, there are many closed doors and closed doors in this city, and it is still very busy outside the city. , the little man has bought some wine and food outside the city, you can use some first."
He saw that his nine fingers brought a huge tray with three plates and two bowls on it, as well as a jug of hot wine.
He scalded his chopsticks with the tea, and offered them with respectful hands. After Sun Shaozong took it, he reported again: "The hot air balloon has not yet been found outside the city, but I heard that a few blood books have fallen from the sky. It's just that it was picked up by someone, and the little one has specially arranged for someone to find it."
Blood book
Sun Shaozong frowned when he heard this. This is not good news. First, the hot air balloon must have flown out of the city. Second, since the message was conveyed by dropping the blood book, most people on the hot air balloon would not be in a hurry to land.
If this floated a hundred miles in one breath, where would I go to touch it
As for those so-called blood books, even if they can be found, I am afraid that they may not have much effect - after all, this thing is not a tiger rune, how can there be a strict way to make people believe that it is not forged on the spot
His heart was anxious, but his face showed no sign of it. He slowly picked up three pieces of chopsticks and donkeys. After chewing and swallowing, he instructed: "Leave some old and weak women and children in the city, and spread the rest."
The only thing that can be relied on now is the crowd tactics.
Fortunately, there were already 2,000 beggars coming from all over the city, and even the most unusable old, weak, sick, and disabled among them, 1,500 people could be scattered.
Coupled with the dragon guards who were mixed in the beggars' heap, it was just enough to make up two thousand.
Hong Jiu respectfully took orders, originally wanted to discuss the details with Shen Lian, but couldn't find Shen Lian after turning around, secretly thinking that the other party was probably assigned another errand, so he had to grit his teeth and take it upon himself. Search heavy duty.
…
Palace West Garden.
King Zhongshun stormed into the hall, only to see that the Emperor Taishang was holding a gold enamel birdcage, teasing the parrots who were only tongue-in-cheek. He couldn't help but feel anxious and angry. go out.
But this can only be thought about in my mind.
He hurriedly approached, bowed and smiled and said, "Father, there was a little accident outside."
Seeing that the Emperor Taishang didn't respond at all, he had to continue to force a smile and said: "Then the Dali Temple Shaoqing Sun Shaozong is simply insane, he actually wrapped the patrolman in charge of guarding him, swallowed the troops we sent out, and mobilized many beggars in the city. Searching!"
Looking at the Emperor Taishang again, he was still licking his tongue and teasing birds.
King Zhongshun was really in a hurry and couldn't help asking: "Father, how should we deal with it, you have to come up with an idea!"
The Emperor Taishang glanced at him indifferently, and asked back, "Then in your opinion, how should you deal with it?"
"Tiaohu Benying into the city to quell the rebellion! The Sun brothers have extensive connections in the Longjing Guard, Shenji Camp, and Patrol Camp, and even Qiu Ying, the commander-in-chief of Ma Siyou for 50% of the army, has a good relationship with his family. Hu Ben Ying has been stationed outside Zacheng, and since Qiu Ying was transferred, he has never had anything to do with the Sun family!"
These words blurted out, obviously they have long been considered.
When the Emperor Taishang heard the words, he turned his attention back to the bird cage again, and said indifferently: "The jade seal is already in your hands, since you have already made a decision, just let it go, do you still need to ghostwrite for your father? Can't it?"
King Zhongshun was a little speechless, but immediately became excited again: "So you agree with the father? That being the case, I also ask the father to assign a seasoned and prudent eunuch to go to Huben camp to pass the decree!"
Previously, in order to prevent the Emperor Taishang from embezzling power, he specially asked Li Tong to lead a team to search outside the palace; but now that he encountered setbacks, he hoped that the people of the Emperor Taishang would be able to stand in front.
Fortunately, the Emperor Taishang didn't care about anything, and immediately selected a valet in the hall and ordered him to be dispatched by King Zhongshun.
King Zhongshun was naturally overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered someone to forge an imperial decree, and the eunuch took him to the Huben camp outside the city.
The book does not go into details.
However, he said that the eunuch galloped all the way to Huben Camp and read out the imperial decree to the Huben Camp Admiral, but the Admiral did not refuse to question, but said that it was in a hurry, and it was Sun Shiwan, a world-famous general, who was going to be arrested. Be prepared to go out.
After speaking, he said that he was going to select elite soldiers and generals, and asked the eunuch to wait for a while in the big tent.
But the eunuch who announced the decree waited left and right, and he didn't see Admiral Hu Ben coming back.
But the two personal soldiers asked three questions, and they only persuaded him to stay calm and wait for the Admiral to come back.
The eunuch Chuanzhi became more and more restless, and wanted to go to the camp to find people, but the scale of the Huben camp was quite large, I don't know how to find each other
Just as he was incompetent and furious, he suddenly found that there were several officers and soldiers holding a civilian not far in front of him. He had walked back and forth in front of the tent for several times, and he didn't know what he was doing.
After watching it for a while, the eunuch couldn't help but ask the guards on the side.
"You said that person."
But I heard the personal soldier say: "It was sent by the patrol battalion, and said that it was Shi Li Tong, the chief of the Zhongshun palace—the officer of the patrol battalion was still full of nonsense at that time, saying that there was a change in the palace, that someone was going to rebel or something, we Wherever the commander believed, he drove them out together."
Saying that, he raised his hand and pointed at those people: "Look, it's still reluctant to leave!"
Chuan Jitai's expression changed drastically when he heard this. Although he wasn't smart, he could see that this was a play that was just for him.
With Li Tong as a 'personal witness', although Admiral Hu Ben did not completely fall in favor of Sun Shaozong, he would most likely have doubts about the will passed down in the palace.
But just now that Admiral Hu Ben didn't say a word, he agreed and disappeared.
Obviously, the other party is preparing to use the trick of dragging words, and depending on how the future develops, it is not too late to choose a team!
After thinking about this section, he also understood that it would be useless to stay here, and maybe his life would be in danger if it dragged on for a long time, so he hurriedly dropped two words of urging, and claimed that he still had important things at hand, He beat the horse and fled back to the city.
