Chapter 33 third quarter

Yang Da followed King Chun into the house, took out the sweat-soaked seal from his arms, handed it up with both hands, and said softly at the same time: "Master Wen, please arrive at three o'clock tonight, and deliver seven seals in person. Lord." King Chun didn't have time to answer, he opened the seal, read the letter signed by King Gong first, and then read the decree, feeling excited that this day has finally arrived!The errand that Cao Yuying arranged for him finally came!You have to show off your hands beautifully. Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he calmly asked Yang Da: "How did you tell the outside when you got here just now?"

"The humble official only said that there are six hundred miles to speed up the 'Ting Ji', and it must be handed over to the Seventh Prince immediately." King Chun was relieved, the earth-shaking changes in Beijing had never been leaked, and he couldn't help boasting: "Good boy! He will be on the job." Then he shouted: "Come on!" The servant came in response, and King Chun ordered to reward Yang Da with fifty taels of silver. Yang Da thanked him for the reward, and conveyed Wen Xiang's intention, asking him to come to see King Chun after dawn, and to bring back any reply.

"Okay, okay!" King Chun said happily, "Come here at dawn, and I will let you go back to work. In fact, you will understand everything by then, and you will know what's going on even if I don't tell you." Yang Da didn't quite understand what he said, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He stepped back, touched the fifty taels of silver in his arms, and was elated. After a midnight snack, I went to take a nap and rest. In King Jin's house, Rui Chang was summoned late at night, still wearing robes and gowns to see him, ignoring the servants, King Jin didn't say a word, first handed him the documents from Beijing.This was originally expected by Ruichang, but he never expected it to be activated so quickly!Although Dawen Sushun ordered the two kings Ruichun to handle it, but as the commander of the infantry, most of the responsibility for protecting the foot fell on his own shoulders. His expression is very different from King Chun's complacent, eager to do something he wants.

"Zhishan!" Chun Wang called his nickname and asked, "How do you think about it?" "My lord! If things happen in a hurry, you can't make a mistake." "Naturally." Ruichang pulled up the chair, moved closer to the candle, leaned his head over and said, "Do you think he will obey the edict?" "It's not certain. However, he just refuses to follow the edict, does he dare to take any action? No," Chun Wang said with great confidence, "I guess he wouldn't." Rui Chang shook his head in disbelief. Stop: "No, no!" He said, "A person as domineering as him naturally thinks that the enmity is deep. How can there not be one or two hundred dead soldiers around him?"

Hearing this, King Chun was startled, full of joy, greatly discounted, and was speechless for a long time in a daze. "This matter needs to be discussed in the long run." Rui Chang said again, "I will accompany the lord to meet Prince Rui." This suggestion was not accepted by King Chun, he thought that he had to "deliver the decree" that night, there was not much time to discuss it calmly, it is better to discuss the method here, and then notify Prince Rui to act together, it is simpler and more appropriate. Rui Chang thought it was a good idea, so he first analyzed the situation of the guards for him. He said that his troops were only responsible for guarding the road, and they were all on the periphery, which was useless at all, while Sushun was still the leader of Zhenghuang Qi One-third of the ministers' errands in the guards and the guards in the upper three banners are under his command. If there is a rush to fight, the consequences will be disastrous.

"So, most of Zhenghuangqi's bodyguards are in Ludian to guard Zigong. There are not many people around him." Ruichang said again, "I'm afraid he's raising dead soldiers." Said "dead man", King Chun frowned again: "This man is mean and ungrateful, there may not be anyone who is willing to do his best for him. Even if there is, he will not be close to him. We don't have to be half-hearted, let's do it as soon as possible! " "Even if you do it, you have to arrange it. You have to send someone who is close and strong, this," Rui Chang said slowly, "I think the one with the fourth forehead is the best."

"Yes!" King Chun appreciated this idea very much, "Let's borrow the person with the fourth forehead." The fourth son-in-law, Demchukzabu, has just filled up the errand of the Shangyu spare office. This yamen is also called the sticky pole office. The guards there have to go anywhere, so they are young, alert and active. It is more appropriate to use them to deal with the "dead men" who may be around Sushun.This level is settled. After discussing further, they quickly reached a conclusion, that Gui Ruichang was in charge of guarding the perimeter, and it was Prince Chun himself who entered the house to arrest people, and Prince Rui was getting old, so he was only asked to put on a show outside.

"It's not too late, let's go to Prince Rui's place!" After saying this, Prince Chun called the footman to come, waited for him to change into robes, and went to Prince Rui's place together with Ruichang. Prince Rui and Prince Chun lived in the same inn, but they were separated by a courtyard, and they called to open the door. After a secret conversation, Prince Rui felt that he was the first in the decree, and he was the prince in terms of title, but Prince Gong and Wen Xiang sent the secret decree. To King Chun, feeling unhappy, so he cupped his hands and said, "Such a big case, naturally, Uncle Qi is the one to decide."

Before King Jin could speak, Rui Chang heard that the tone of the words was not good, and hurriedly said: "Of course, the Seventh Prince has to listen to the command of the Prince." Hearing these words, Prince Rui felt better, nodded and said, "They all work for the emperor, why should they be divided between each other? If Uncle Qi has any ideas, just say it!" So King Jin talked about the plan he had agreed with Ruichang, only changing the words about who would enter the house and arrest people: "I have to follow your wishes on how to deliver the decree." King Chun was always young and vigorous, always wanted to do one or two beautiful errands to show his face, Prince Rui knew it well, so at this moment he stroked his goatee and said: "A hero comes out of a young man, and he captures a traitor, naturally Seventh Uncle will be the first. "

"That's it. Change your clothes, please! I'll go to the fourth son-in-law's. We'll meet at his place." "I won't be with the Seventh Prince anymore." Rui Chang greeted him and said, "I'll meet up with the fourth concubine later." "We have to set a time." Chun Wang took out a big gold watch from his purse to look at it and said, "The Western clock is half past one, and we will meet at half past two and start at three. Will you be in time?" ?” "Do your best!" "Wait!" Prince Rui rolled his eyes twice, and made a decisive decision, "Zhishan, you have to send as many troops as possible to secure the Master's place everywhere, and isolate it from the inside and outside! Seventh Uncle, you go in. When the time comes, first find out the leader of the guards at his place, tell him the reason, and ask him if he complies with the order? No mistake, we still have room to talk."

King Chun admired these words very much, after all, Jiang is old and spicy.Of course, he didn't intend to shirk his responsibilities in the future, but he just felt that calling out the leader of the guards and explaining the reason was the best way to capture the thief and the king. As long as this person bowed his head and obeyed his orders, he didn't have to be afraid of any "dead men". So they split up their work, and by half past two, they were all assembled at Demchukjab's place.The guards at the sticky pole had already been selected. I heard that they were all gearing up to take Sushun with King Chun, and they were all very excited. Half of this was due to their youthful deeds, and the other half was because Sushun had made a promise to reduce the eight banners' pay, and no one was against it. He has a good impression of it. At three o'clock on the western clock, Chun Wang took the group of young guards and strode towards Sushun's hotel. At this time, the streets and alleys were under martial law. Prince Rui was old, and the night was frosty, accompanied by Rui Chang, he also arrived in a warm sedan chair, according to the planned plan, requisitioned a teahouse at Jiekou as a temporary command post.The two kings and one minister had just sat down when they heard the very crisp sound of horseshoes hitting the bluestone pavement, as urgent as a shower, very rhythmic, and the sound was very strong in the quiet night.Prince Rui and Prince Chun couldn't help but listened intently, with slightly surprised expressions on their faces. So Rui Chang hurriedly said: "Oh, I forgot to tell the two lords, it is Boyan Mohu whom I have invited, and he must have brought his cavalry here at this moment." The eldest son of the monk king, Baylor Boyan Mohu, has been assigned a new mission as a guide, and he has always been at the front. He has his own guards, a fierce Mongolian cavalry team. Twenty-four people were swept up like a gust of wind. With this iron cavalry, King Chun became more courageous. After meeting each other in a hurry, Prince Rui immediately issued an order to send someone to Sushun's residence to find the leader of the guards. All the princes and ministers who escorted the Zi Palace were run by local officials and rented local inns as mansions. Only Sushun was inconvenient to live with everyone because he was traveling with two concubines. Their "officials" were on errands, and they found their own lodgings. They borrowed a house from a squire in Miyun, which consisted of a large courtyard and a flower hall. The leader of the guards living in the wing room in the front yard, named Haida, was awakened by the hooves of the Mongolian cavalry, and felt strange, Zigong was here, and the nobles were like a cloud, and it was the military officer who was so bold that he led the cavalry in the middle of the night. Rampage, not too presumptuous? Just as he was suspicious in his heart, he heard someone knocking on the window, got up and looked, it was a Lan Ling guard who was on guard at night to report, saying that it was Prince Rui who had sent someone to summon him. "Huh!" Haida was stunned and said again, "He is the prince, I have to go. But, the status is different, he can't control me!" "Boss!" The guard took a step and leaned in front of him and said, "Don't cause trouble! The infantry commanding yamen have all come out, what are they going to do?" Hearing this, Haida was even more surprised. Looking at it like this, he should report to Sushun, but he was also afraid that this "Zhongtang" would have a bad temper and disturb his dream, and he might be scolded.But the time did not allow him to think carefully, in a hurry, he thought that it would be good for him to go out and have a look first before making up his mind. So he put on a big hat, and hurried out, when he arrived at the door, he met the guard who was delivering the order to Prince Rui, he was an acquaintance, and he greeted each other, the man lowered his voice and said: "Prince Rui ordered to arrest someone, originally I would like to invite Su Zhongtang to handle it together, but I am afraid that I am sleeping well, so I specially asked you to go and tell you the reason, so that I can tell Su Zhongtang later." I see!Haida let go of her doubts and happily followed.When I arrived at the tea shop at the intersection, I saw the cavalry marching bravely, with knives out of their sheaths, arrows on strings, and a lot of lanterns with different names.Once they entered the store, they found not only Prince Rui, but also Prince Chun, Rui Shangshu and the Mongolian Prince Bobeile. The shock was no small matter, so they saluted and stood with hands down, listening to orders quietly. "Haida!" Prince Rui asked, "What is Su Zhongtang doing now?" "If you go back to the prince, Su Zhongtang is still asleep at the moment." "Sleeping there?" Chun Wang asked. This question was suddenly incomprehensible, Haida thought for a while before realizing that the person who asked must be sleeping in that room, so she answered truthfully, "Sleeping in the east room of the West Flower Hall of the Wu family mansion." "Are there guards?" The more she asked, the weirder she became, and Haida hesitated to answer casually. "What's the matter?" Chun Wang's face sank, "Do you not have ears or a mouth?" King Chun began to speak in an official tone, and Haida couldn't help but say: "There are two sitting on the watch." "Listen!" King Chun said to Ruichang and Boyan Mohu, "What do you call 'sitting watch'! Isn't that the style of the inner courtyard of the palace?" Ruichang smiled, turned to Haida and asked, "Who are those two guards? Are they on shift, or are they always those two people? Is it under your control, or is it Su Zhongtang's own choice? " "It's a shift, and I'll take care of it." Ruichang and King Jin exchanged a look, they understood each other, and they were relieved. The guards took turns, and they were under the jurisdiction of the head of the bodyguards. It can be seen that they were ordinary bodyguards, not the "dead men" Sushun raised. "Haida!" Prince Rui raised his voice and asked in a very serious voice: "Let me ask you, do you listen to the Emperor or Su Zhongtang?" There are all kinds of suspicious signs, and this sentence is like the finishing touch, and all the etiquette is clear. Haida was shocked, knowing that the relationship is very important, and the fate lies in the sentence and the attitude of the answer. He quickly raised his chest and answered loudly. : "Why does the prince ask this question? Haida was born in the Yellow Banner, and since the time he fought Emperor Taizong, he has been the emperor's personal general's imperial army. Why should I not listen to the emperor's words?" When he spoke impassionedly here, he suddenly realized that there was something wrong with his words. Then he added: "Furthermore, 'eating the king's salary is a matter of being loyal to the king', even if Haida is not a member of the Three Banners, he still has to listen to the emperor's words!" "Okay, be loyal and loyal to the imperial court!" Prince Rui said this in a playful voice, then turned to King Chun and said, "Seventh Uncle, please! I will sit in the 'old camp' and listen to the 'good news'." "I'll go right away!" At this time, King Chun felt his will was soaring, and he agreed loudly, stood up and told Haida: "You lead the way! Let's go get the treacherous officials." Although he didn't say the word "Sushun", he had already seen the clues, but Haida still couldn't help feeling a bolt from the blue at this time. No matter what, he was working under Sushun, and he brought outsiders to arrest the hall official of this yamen. Well, it's always not a matter of face to say it out, so he quickly agreed in his mouth, but he was thinking about it in his heart, thinking about ways to get out. At this time, the Mongolian horse team had already started patrolling the streets, and the guards of the Wu family mansion were surprised to see King Chun coming in person, and with the people on the sticky pole, but with their "boss" accompanying them, they naturally couldn't help but be surprised. He would think that he was here to capture Sushun.This puzzled look inspired Haida. Before he entered the courtyard, he quietly pulled King Chun aside and said in a low voice, "Seventh Prince, when you came back to the flower hall, you always brought people in. I will stand for you at the entrance of the flower hall." Guard. The reason is that Su Zhongtang has a loud voice, and if he yells, someone will come in from outside, and I can block it for the Seventh Prince." King Chun agreed to his solution, but sent two other people to "guard" with him, in fact to monitor Haida, lest he go outside to summon his troops to rescue Sushun. At this time, the two guards in the flower hall came out to visit after hearing the sound. Seeing that it was King Chun, they rushed to pay their respects, but they looked at Haida, wanting to get an explanation, what's going on? In order to show that he was being held hostage, Haida would not speak of course, and there was no need for him to speak, because King Chun had already given the order directly. "Wake up Su Zhongtang, ask him to come out, and say something is urgent." "Yes!" The two guards agreed and turned to leave. "Wait!" King Chun said, turning his head and pouting. Then the four young men at the sticky pole, as if protruding to catch some lively small animal, rushed to the two guards at a very fast pace, and before they could see clearly, the saber on their waist was covered I paid it. "What is this?" One of them was very displeased and asked like complaining. "It's nothing," King Chun comforted him, "I'll borrow your knives for a while, and I'll return them to you later. Go ahead, do what I say, and you won't suffer any losses." The two guards came to their senses at this moment, and they said in their hearts: Su Zhongtang is going to be in trouble!A bachelor doesn't suffer from immediate disadvantages, just be obedient!So Nuonuo turned around and left. The flower hall consisted of three rooms, one bright and two dark. They went to the window of the east room, knocked on the window and shouted: "Zhongtang, Zhongtang!" After calling three or four times in a row, I heard a delicate asking voice from inside: "Who is it?" "The guard sitting on watch." "What for?" "Please speak to Zhongtang." Sushun also woke up at this moment, and asked loudly, "What's the matter?" "There is something urgent, please get up Zhongtang, so that we can meet face to face." "What's the matter? You just talk there." The two guards were at a loss for words, and turned to King Chun for help. Sushun heard that there was no sound, and lost his temper inside: "You bastard, what the hell are you doing? If you have something to say, tell me quickly, if you have nothing to say, get out!" This time, the guard had no choice but to say straight: "The Seventh Prince is here. It's just outside the window here." "Hey!" It was a very light surprised voice, after a pause, Su Shun said: "Please ask the Seventh Prince, what's the matter?" At this time, King Chun had no choice but to speak: "Sushun, get up quickly, there is a will." "Is there a decree?" In Sushun's voice, there was infinite confusion, "Lao Qi, are you here to deliver a decree?" "correct." "Strange!" Sushun said to himself, "If there is a decree for me, how can I ask you to pass it on?" He made a self-explanatory sentence, and when King Chun heard it, he felt contemptuous. The anger accumulated over the years, all broke out at this moment, and he shouted sharply: "I will tell you! Come here by order. Take you. Get out of here!" Before he could finish a sentence, he heard a sudden and tender cry, and more than one voice, and then heard Sushun scolding his two concubines: "Why are you crying? What is there to cry about? How dare they treat me as a bunch of useless wretches? How about it?" This really pissed King Chun off!I really wanted to kick open the door and grab Sushun from the bed, but I was worried that there were two young women inside, and they were bound by rituals, which was not very elegant, so I just sneered, and suppressed the anger in my chest. down. During the almost embarrassing waiting, there were weeping, whispering, and rustling in the room, which seemed to be the sound of dressing and boots, and then these sounds gradually decreased, and the door should be opened. but. After waiting in doubt for a long time, King Chun suddenly came to his senses, pointed to a guard there, and asked loudly, "Is there a back door inside?" "There is a small corner door. I don't know where it leads? I have never entered it, so I dare not say." broken!King Chun thought to himself, Sushun must have patrolled through the corner gate, of course he couldn't escape, but it would take some effort.In this way, the errand is not beautiful enough. Just as he was about to give the order to break in, the door of the flower hall opened with a sound of "ah", and Su Shun, who was full of anger, walked out proudly under the light of the lantern. Not allowing King Chun to speak, he pointed his halberd first and asked, "Lao Qi, what are you holding in your hand?" King Chun raised the decree: "Shangyu! Kneel down and listen!" "Wait a minute! Tell me first, who made the decree?" "Prince Gong, University scholar Gui Liang, Bureau Zu Pei, Minister of Military Aircraft Wen Xiang." "Huh, what kind of edict is this?" Sushun said loudly, quickly and clearly, "Why do these four people accept the decree? Where did the decree come from? You still have the family law of your ancestors and the emperor Daxing in your heart." Will you die? Emperor Daxing, your bones are not cold yet, you dare to stand here in front of Zigong, pretending to be edicts and stealing government, won't you be afraid of being punished by heaven?" This severe reprimand made the king so angry and impatient, he couldn't argue with him, and felt that there was no need to argue with him, so he became furious and shouted sharply: "There is no such nonsense! Pull him down and kneel down to accept the order! " The guards at the sticking pole were already eager to try. As soon as they heard the order, a few people came up and hurriedly pushed Sushun to the knees. He tries to be docile, but it's just asking for trouble!Those boys in the upper three flags, who are used to falcons and dogs, have some tricks. One uses a grappling technique to twist his right hand backwards, another knocks his right hand into the crook of his knee, and Sushun immediately falls half short, and the other makes his right hand With a pinch of the neck and a pull of the braid, the head was raised, and the gaze was right on King Chun. Under the lantern held high, he grinned in pain, and the sweat on his forehead was as big as soybeans. So Jin Wang Gao Ping asked Sushun to escort him to Beijing, and still stuttered seven or eight sentences. Fortunately, this was just a formality. After hastily perfunctory, he ordered Sushun to be escorted out At the same time, four guards were sent into the east room of the flower hall to arrest Sushun's two concubines crying, and sent them to Prince Rui together. It's all done, and the anger is calculated, but Chun Wang doesn't feel happy, on the contrary, he feels that he is invincible and has done a very useless thing.After going out of the Wu family's mansion like this, it occurred to me that there was one very important thing that I hadn't done, so I stopped to think about it, and then asked, "Where's Haida?" "Hedda is here!" "You are ordered to watch over here, and you are not allowed to move any plants or trees!" King Chun already thought that Sushun was going to ransack the house.
