The willows are cuddling, the breeze is blowing, and in late autumn, the weather becomes cooler and cooler. The Nanjing dock has been under martial law, and the whole team of soldiers stands on the dock, really guarding every ten steps, and sending a sentry every five steps.

These soldiers are different from those in Nanjing. Although they are wearing mandarin duck armor and have knives hanging on their waists, each one of them is carrying a musket on his back. What is important is his energy and energy. There is no look of depression, and his expression is determined.

.The eyes are also very sharp, making people afraid to look at him.

A ship was moored on both sides of the bank, and people started to get off the ship one after another. However, there was no ship in the middle. Until a three-story boat slowly sailed here, whether it was soldiers or people on both sides, all

They all knelt on the ground neatly, with their heads lowered, and no one raised their head.

Emperor Tianqi walked down from the deck, his face a little gloomy. He already knew the news about the closure of Nanjing. After Dang Han delivered the news, he was rushed back to Nanjing by Emperor Tianqi. Now, Jin Yiwei's spies send letters to Emperor Tianqi every day.

Although the city of Nanjing was sealed, news never ceased.

Before people arrived in Nanjing, Emperor Tianqi already knew what happened here, and Emperor Tianqi also knew the plans of Wei Guogong and Luo Sigong. Emperor Tianqi breathed a sigh of relief that no major accident occurred. When he arrived in Nanjing today, Emperor Tianqi

There was no one in attendance, and there was no greeting ceremony. Everything seemed quiet.

"Your Majesty, camp outside the city! The situation in Nanjing is unstable. Your Majesty should not go to the city for the time being!" Chen Hong walked up to Emperor Tianqi and said with a bit of worry on his face. But he kept tight.

He shook the fly whisk in his hand, knowing that Emperor Tianqi might not listen to his advice.

After waving his hands, Emperor Tianqi saw that Sun Chuanting and others also wanted to speak, and said: "When I arrive in Nanjing, I will naturally live in the palace. You guys should open the way ahead! Don't waste time, I'm going to the city to take a good look at these things about me.

Minister."

Emperor Tianqi's reaction was already expected. Seeing that Emperor Tianqi's attitude was very resolute, no one spoke. Under the protection of a thousand people from the capital camp, Emperor Tianqi headed towards Nanjing City.

Below Nanjing City, Shen Quan and Yang Shu are waiting quietly. The news has been passed in, and there will be news soon.

"What's going on? Why don't you come out yet?" The two of them were a little impatient. Half an hour had passed and there was still no news from Nanjing. Shen Quan couldn't help complaining.

"There are more than 10,000 of us here. These people should be more rigorous!" Although Yang Shu was a little impatient, he still spoke to persuade Shen Quan.

Without waiting for a while, the gate of Nanjing City slowly opened, and people rushed out from it. The leader was a young man. He was wearing a snow-white gown and had no weapons. He looked like a young man on a trip. Judging from his appearance,

He is also a handsome and handsome young man with a faint smile on his face.

"Are there two generals Shen Quan and Yang Shu in front of us? Young Master Mu is here, come and see us!" The group just walked out of the city gate and stopped. A big man shouted at Shen Quan and Yang Shu at the top of his voice.

.

Shen Quan and Yang Shu were suddenly in a daze, but they did not dare to delay at all. There are not many young masters Mu in this world. The only one who can appear here is Mu Tianbo. Emperor Tianqi thinks highly of Mu Tianbo, and the one in the Military Aircraft Department

Officials' status is naturally extraordinary.

However, Mu Tianbo was not the Minister of Military and Aircraft, so he was not qualified to let the two people come over to see him. However, the identity of Young Master Mu was not just for words. The two people asked the bodyguards to wait where they were, and then walked over. They had seen him before. Mu Tianbo has confirmed that the young man in white is Young Master Mu.

Arriving in front of Mu Tianbo, Shen Quan and Yang Shu turned over and dismounted. They held their fists in front of their chests respectfully and said, "The last general Shen Quan and the last general Yang Shu have met the young master!"

Mu Tianbo also got off his horse. He was not the Duke of Guizhou yet. Mu Tianbo was not so arrogant. He walked to the two of them, helped them up, and said with a smile: "There are some things in the city. The two generals have been waiting for a long time. Got it!"

"Young Master, you're welcome! Could you please go out of the city to greet me and kill the last general?" The two of them dared not speak, and Yang Shu said politely.

Looking behind the two people with a smile, Mu Tianbo asked with some urgency: "Two generals, you are already here. Is the Holy Master also here?"

"Back to the young master, we are here on the order of the emperor. As for the whereabouts of the holy driver, I will never know!" Shen Quan had a smile on his face. Of course he knew that Emperor Tianqi was coming soon, but this could not be said. Regardless of the other party Whoever reveals the emperor's whereabouts privately will be beheaded.

Nodding slowly, Mu Tianbo knew very well that when these two people came, Emperor Tianqi must have arrived as well. But if they didn't tell them, there was nothing he could do. After thinking about it, he said in a deep voice: "I don't know what the orders of these two people are. Why are you here? I wonder if I can help?"

Yang Shu didn't say anything, waiting for Shen Quan to speak. He led his troops all the way, but it was unclear what he could say. Shen Quan came from Emperor Tianqi, and he was the one who really had the will.

After clasping his fists in front of Mu Tianbo, Shen Quan said with a smile: "Young Master, we have two purposes here. One is to eliminate the traitors in Nanjing and prepare to welcome the Holy Emperor. The other is to capture the traitors according to the order. Yes, we want to see Duke Wei, please help me to lead us to Duke Wei."

Sure enough, it was because of this matter that Mu Tianbo looked helpless on his face, shook his head and said: "Let's go! I will take you to find Wei Guogong, but will your troops also enter the city?" Although he didn't want this in his heart. The troops entered the city, but Mu Tianbo also knew that he could not make the decision on this matter.

"Young Master, I wonder what the situation is like in Nanjing?" Shen Quan asked without answering Mu Tianbo's question.

"There is indeed a rebellion in Nanjing City, but Wei Guogong has led his people to eliminate it, and it is no longer a serious problem. In my opinion, the two generals can just go in with a few people, and the large force should be stationed outside the city!" Mu Tianbo still said what he meant and waited quietly for the two of them to make a decision.

Shen Quan glanced at Yang Shu and said in a deep voice: "Yang Shu, you lead the army to camp, I will lead a thousand people in!"

Yang Shu nodded slowly, and naturally understood. He glanced at Shen Quan meaningfully and said, "Be careful!"

In the imperial palace in Nanjing City, Wei Guogong stood at the entrance of the palace. Opposite him was an old eunuch. His face was full of wrinkles and his body was a little stooped, but his eyes were unusually frightening.

"My lord, this palace is not an ordinary place. It's not something anyone can come to if they want to. As for the traitors you mentioned, they don't exist here. My lord, you'd better go elsewhere to judge! Our family is ordered to guard this place. Of course there won't be any problems." After listening to Wei Guogong's words, the old eunuch quickly smiled and waved his hand and said.

The old eunuch in front of him was no stranger to Wei Guogong, and his status was not low. Before Wei Chao, the Duke of Dongchang, came to power, there was a very powerful eunuch in the palace named Chen Ju. Chen Ju and Chen Eunuch Jiu

He entered the palace at the age of 18. He was quite upright and was called "Buddha" by others.

Chen Jushen was trusted by Emperor Shenzong and could be said to be a very powerful eunuch. However, Chen Ju was an upright man and had no bad reputation, so he was not that famous. From Chen Ju's position, we can see his power.

At that time, Chen Ju was also in charge of the East Factory as the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, which was rare even in the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Jin, who had great power at that time, was just the chief ceremonial officer and the eunuch in charge of printing. Although the Dongchang was controlled by his members, he did not also control the Dongchang. From this point of view alone, Chen Ju's status was extremely high.

The old eunuch in front of him is named Chen Ling, who is Chen Ju's godson. He also has a godbrother, who is also Chen Ju's godson, and is the current eunuch Bingbi Chen Hong. After Chen Ju's death,

, Chen Ling came to Nanjing to take care of the palace, while Chen Hong stayed in the capital.

Duke Wei and Eunuch Chen are old acquaintances, and he knows who he is. Naturally, he said that there are no traitors here, which means there are no traitors. Although Eunuch Chen is showing his age, Duke Wei knows that this person is definitely a traitor.

A ruthless character. I don’t know why at that time, maybe he was disheartened after Chen Ju’s death, so he came to Nanjing.

In Wei Guogong's view, if Chen Ling stayed in the capital, he would at least be the eunuch Bingbi, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and he might even be able to take charge of the East Factory.

"In this case, my lord will leave! However, I still have to remind Eunuch Chen that the emperor is coming to Nanjing soon, and the palace must be well prepared. An assassination occurred in the imperial envoy's palace. An assassination occurred in the imperial envoy's palace.

You still have to pay attention." Wei Guogong was still a little worried and couldn't help but say.

Chen Ling cupped her hands in front of Duke Wei and said with a smile: "Master Guo, this palace is different from the outside. There are people like ours everywhere here. What problems do you think there will be?"

Duke Wei suddenly felt a little embarrassed. There were all eunuchs here. Who was the most loyal to the emperor, it was definitely these eunuchs. What's more, Chen Ling was a master in this way, so his worries were a bit unnecessary. He smiled, turned around and wanted to leave.

However, before they had gone very far, Mu Tianbo came over on horseback, followed naturally by Shen Quan and the five hundred men from the capital camp.

When he came to the Duke of Wei, Mu Tianbo got off his horse, smiled and saluted, and said: "My nephew has met the Duke of Wei. This one is from the capital, and he has obeyed the emperor's order!" After saying that, he let Shen Quan out.

Shen Quan quickly picked up his clothes and knelt on the ground, saying respectfully: "The last general, Shen Quan, has met the Duke of Wei."

He nodded slowly. Duke Wei was more polite to Chen Ling, but not so polite to Shen Quan. After accepting Shen Quan's prayer, he didn't say anything in return. He just said: "Get up!"

"Thank you, Lord Guo!" Shen Quan quickly got up from the ground. As for Wei Guogong not returning the gift, that is really normal. It would be strange if he did. Except for the commander of the Jin Yiwei, the other commanders may not be in the eyes of Wei Guogong.
