The Record of Righteousness

Imperial Palace, Huangji Palace!

At this time, Zhu Zongdan was sitting on the dragon chair he had dreamed of, wearing a bright yellow five-clawed golden dragon robe and a winged crown on his head. At his feet were the civil and military ministers, discussing countermeasures.

"All the troops of Shuntian Prefecture have returned to the capital. Where have the bandits marched to now?"

Song Yongzhen, Minister of the Ministry of War, came out of the queue and replied:

"Long live the return, the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of Shuntian Mansion have all returned to the capital and are under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion!"

"According to reports from spies, the Fangbu rebels have occupied Shuntian Mansion and are rushing towards the capital! I have joined forces with the Ministry of Industry to step up repairs."

Zhu Zongdan frowned and thought for a while, then nodded and said:

"Okay, the capital's fortifications cannot be delayed and should be repaired as soon as possible. Chen Wenyuan! You immediately hold the tiger talisman, light up the three major battalions and the soldiers and horses of Shuntian Mansion, line up the troops in the capital, and rely on the city and the river to fight the bandit army! "

Chen Wenyuan, wearing a bright red Qilinbuzi official robe, came out and said:

"My lord, take your orders!"

Then all the sects looked at Yang He calmly and said:

"Yang Aiqing, I order you to draft an edict and urgently order Wang Erhe, the governor of Jiliao, and Zhai Zongyao, the admiral of Jiliao, to lead the army to Qinwang! Encircle and suppress the rebels!"

"I accept your order!"

At this time, Cao Taiqing lowered his head and whispered a reminder:

"Your Majesty, what about the soldiers and horses of the Imperial Horse Guard?"

Zhu Zong thought for a moment and said decisively:

"Hmm... pass on my decree to immediately remove Yang Huai from his official post in the Royal Horse Prison! Cao Taiqing, I order you to lead the four guards and horses of the Royal Horse Prison Tengxiang, and immediately go to the Royal Horse Prison to hand over the troops. Anyone who refuses to obey will be killed without mercy! !”

"My lord, take your orders!"

Just as Zhu Zongdan was making arrangements like this, outside the hall, a soldier who had reported the news was let in covered with blood. He knelt down and said in a panic:

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, the Royal Horse Supervisor Yang Huai has rebelled! The four Tengxiang Guards are heading toward the palace!"

"What?!!"

The ministers were all shocked and looked at each other in shock. It was raining all night because of the leak in the house. But at this time, the Royal Horse Supervisor rebelled!

"Why are you panicking? The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and earth!"

"I don't believe that my three-guard imperial army can't take down the mere four-guard army of Tengxiang?!"

Zhu Zongdan had expected it, but he didn't expect that the Royal Horse Supervisor would dare to rebel so blatantly. He frowned and scolded the ministers with dissatisfaction, and the ministers calmed down. After all, the rebel emperor was more worried than them!

Chen Wenyuan cupped his fists and asked for orders:

"The Forbidden Army is the personal guard of the Holy One. It is the army that protects the peace of the Emperor. It should protect the safety of the Holy One in the Forbidden City. I am willing to lead the army and personally lead three battalions to defeat the rebels! Capture the rebel Yang Huaixiang Head!"

Zhu Zongdan waved his hands and said:

"No need, Tengxiang's four guards only have more than a thousand troops. It is enough for me to send two guards to suppress the rebellion. Time is tight. Chen Aiqing should put the overall situation first and dispatch troops to defend the capital."

Seeing that the emperor was so calm, Chen Wenyuan, a minister, could not say anything more and could only respond:

"My lord, take your orders!"

"Order Cao Taiqing to hold the seal, Qi Yan, and Liu Wuying as auxiliary generals. Each of the three will lead three battalions of Dongchang, Jinwu Guard, and Huben Guard to immediately encircle and suppress the Yuma Supervisor rebels! There can be no mistake!!"

The three of them knelt down.

"Wei Chen takes orders!"

Zhu Zongdan continued:

"Zhang Zhiyan."

"I'm here!"

"Immediately activate the Yulin Guards and inspect the palace from top to bottom. Be on guard and kill anyone who is idle! Then strictly supervise my royal relatives and do not neglect them."

Having said this, Zhu Zongdan hesitated for a moment, and then said harshly:

"If they make any move, I order you to kill them first and then report them!"

Zhang Zhiyan responded:

"I accept your order!"

After the generals who had received their orders hurriedly retreated, Zhu Zongdan ordered the remaining people:

"Lu Xinghuai, please immediately mobilize the elite troops of Jin Yiwei to protect my safety from today on!"

"I accept your order. Your Majesty, where are the four princes?"

"The war is about to begin, so you don't have to lurk over there!"

"yes."

After Lu Xinghuai retreated, Zhu Zong glanced at the few masters in Ouchi and said:

"As for Ouchi's guards, they can be at my disposal at any time."

The four people knelt down and shouted:

"Yes! I will take your orders."

The four masters of the Ouchi court are:

Yu Xiaohan, Lu Nanchun, Jia Qingfeng, Wen Feihuai.

The four of them were the most loyal leaders of the imperial guards of the late emperor, and they were also highly skilled in martial arts.

It was precisely because of these four people that Ouchi trained many Ouchi guards with good martial arts skills.

Duan Chengwu, who died under Wan Qing before, was originally a member of the Imperial Guard and later became a member of the Jinyi Guard.

Zhu Zongdan stood up slowly, and the ministers slowly made way for him. He looked up to the horizon, but he saw dark clouds, a strong wind, and two lightning flashes in the distance. It was really stormy again.

. . .

But he said that the troops of Shuntian Prefecture had gathered in the capital and were under the command of Chen Wenyuan, the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.

The rebels led by Fang Daqing quickly occupied Shuntian Mansion, and the army went straight to the capital!

Standing on the city wall, I could only see that outside the thick city wall of the capital, there were densely packed camps as far as the eye could see. The densely packed soldiers were cooking in pots, and the smoke alone was thousands of them! !

The rebels surrounded and refused to attack, but they didn't know why.

Chen Wenyuan was the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and was in charge of the three major battalions of the capital. At this time, he urgently summoned the generals to discuss ways to retreat from the enemy.

The generals from the Fifth Army Camp, Hushen Camp and Shenji Camp arrived.

The soldiers and horses of these three battalions can be said to be the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, and their weapons and equipment are far more sophisticated than those of the guards.

Chen Wenyuan has an upright appearance, a tall stature, and is dressed in military uniform with a tiger-head sword hanging from his waist. He looks at the generals and says in a deep voice:
