When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he snorted coldly and said to Qiu Ju on the side: "Qiu Daban, I have drafted a decree to strictly investigate the officials in the world. All officials who were born in Fei Hong's hometown will be reduced to serving the people. Within ten years, all the officials in this place will be replaced by civilians."

The tax will be increased by 10%..."

As soon as the emperor said this, Fei Hongdeng felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

A mouthful of blood spurted out from Fei Hong's mouth, his body trembled, and he fell limply to the ground. His eyes were wide open, full of regret and annoyance, and he looked like he was unwilling to die in peace.

Seeing Fei Hong dying from anger, with his eyes still open, no one felt that Fei Hong had any sympathy.

As an important minister of the imperial court and even a future minister, he actually had the idea of ​​murdering the emperor. Such a person with ulterior motives would really take advantage of him by letting him die like this.

However, the emperor's decree made Fei Hong unable to rest in peace even after his death.

It is conceivable that as the literati and even officials in Fei Hong's hometown are implicated by Fei Hong, Fei Hong's reputation will inevitably plummet, and he will definitely become the object of curses by those literati who have lost hope of scientific research.

In addition, regardless of whether he is a commoner or a businessman, from all walks of life, just raising taxes is enough to make Fei Hong be criticized by thousands of people and be infamy for thousands of years.

Glancing at Fei Hong's body, Zhu Houzhao said: "Drag him down!"

At this moment, Gu Dayong just said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty's dragon body has not recovered yet. After struggling for so long, Your Majesty should go and rest with the old slave first."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes fell on Li Huan and said: "Li Qing, there are still rebels in the city. I order you to command the Tengxiang Four Guards Camp. You must capture all the rebels for me."

Li Huan heard this and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely catch all the rebels without leaving a single person behind."

At this time, Gu Dayong handed Li Huan the token for mobilizing troops and said: "Brother Li, this is the token for mobilizing troops. Thousands of troops from Tengxiang's left guard have now been assembled and can move out at any time. If necessary, Tengxiang's right guard

The guards, Wu Xiang's left guard, and Wu Xiang's right guard can also gather troops at any time."

Li Huan had long heard of the name of the Tengxiang Four Guards Camp, and naturally knew that the Tengxiang Four Guards Camp was definitely among the best in terms of combat power among the armies of the capital.

There are about six to seven thousand people in a Tengxiang left guard camp, which is already comparable to the actual number of people in a regiment camp in Beijing. Now that Feng Hai, the commander of Xiaoyong camp, has been captured, the core rebels who followed Feng Hai will now

Er was also being chased by Qi Xianguo, the commander of Tengxiang's left guard, and his men.

To be honest, the remaining men and horses of the Xiaoyong Camp are not a threat at all, and it is not necessary to use the entire Tengxiang Fourth Guard Camp with more than 20,000 troops.

Zi Guda took the order to mobilize troops in his hand, and Li Huan smiled and said: "With Tengxiang's left guard, thousands of troops are enough."

As he said this, Li Huan bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, I am leaving!"

Seeing Li Huan running towards the school grounds, Qiu Ju smiled and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, with Li Huan personally taking action, the rebels can be defeated, and your Majesty will have no worries!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly and said, "How lucky I am to have such a loyal minister as Li Qing."

As he spoke, he seemed to be thinking of the rebellion of Changxing Hou Feng Hai, Wenyuan Pavilion Scholar Fei Hong, and Zhang Yong's betrayal. A trace of gloom flashed in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, and he said coldly: "Why can't they be as loyal as Li Qing?

I treat them well..."

Hearing what Zhu Houzhao said, the people serving beside him immediately understood who Zhu Houzhao was referring to, and they all couldn't help but lower their heads.

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Houzhao withdrew his gaze from Li Huan, and said with a hint of murderous intent: "Do they really think that I am easy to bully? My tolerance is also limited."

While the emperor was furious and showed his endless killing intent, Li Huan had already arrived at the school grounds, and the deputy commander of Tengxiang Left Guard had gathered the army and was ready to leave at any time.

When he saw Li Huan coming with the order to mobilize troops, Lu Qing, as the deputy commander, immediately bowed to Li Huan.

Li Huan looked at Lu Qing, glanced at the thousands of troops below, and shouted in a deep voice: "According to His Majesty's decree, Tengxiang's left guard is mobilized to obey the command of Li Huan, the left governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, and destroy the rebels in the city."

Lu Qing prostrated himself in front of Li Huan and shouted in a deep voice: "The last general takes command!"

Immediately, thousands of troops all bowed to Li Huan: "We accept your order!"

The shouts and shouts of the army spread all around. Even Zhu Houzhao, Gu Dayong and others in the distance paid attention when they heard the powerful shouts.

Zhu Houzhao came back to his senses, and the awe-inspiring murderous intent in his body gradually faded away. His eyes fell on Gu Dayong and he praised: "Gu Dayong really lived up to my expectations, and the four guards of Tengxiang also lived up to my expectations."

Obviously this was the emperor's recognition of Gu Dayong being in charge of the Royal Horse Prison and being in charge of the Four Guards Camp in Tengxiang.

Gu Dayong was overjoyed when he heard this. He excitedly bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "This is just the duty of the old slave."

Zhu Houzhao sighed softly after hearing this: "This duty is such a good duty. If all the civil and military officials in the dynasty could fulfill their duties, why would there be so many things in this dynasty?"

But it was said that the British Duke Zhang Mao raised two battalions with nearly ten thousand soldiers and horses, and the mighty army marched into the city. Soon Zhang Mao got news of the rebels.

In addition to a few hundred rebels following Feng Hai, Fei Hong and his two men chased the emperor towards the direction of the Tengxiang Fourth Guards Camp. The rest of the soldiers followed Feng Hai's confidants, led by deputy commander Liang Wan.

Later.

But because they are infantry, their speed is naturally much slower.

After finding out the news about the rebels, Zhang Mao directly mobilized the vanguard and headed towards the rebels' retreat.

Here Li Huan led the Tengxiang left guard army with high morale out of the camp, and the rebels could already be seen in the distance.

The distance between the two sides gradually came closer. Looking at the rebels on the opposite side, Li Huan couldn't help but frown. It seems that most of these soldiers were led to a point of no return by Feng Hai without knowing it.

If these soldiers could find their way back and put down their weapons on the spot, it might not be impossible to give them a way out.

Of course, some of the generals obviously did not receive such treatment, and one by one could not escape the disaster of confiscating their homes and exterminating their clans.

Once thousands of armies fight, it would be fine if only people on both sides are killed or injured, but when the time comes, the rebel soldiers will inevitably flee, causing harm to the people.

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Li Huan drove his horse forward and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, Your Majesty has decreed that Changxing Marquis Feng Hai deceived you and other soldiers and led you to attack the Emperor Luanjia with the intention of treason. Now Feng Hai has been captured by the Emperor. You

If you can lay down your weapons and find your way back, Your Majesty will definitely forgive you and spare you from death..."

As Feng Hai's confidant, Liang Wan firmly stood by Feng Hai when Feng Hai gathered an army to enter Beijing, and even killed several opposing generals.

It can be said that at this time, almost 99% of the generals in the army participated in the killing of opposition generals in the army, whether they were forced or took the initiative.

Feng Hai relied on this method to force most of the generals in the army to follow him all the way to the dark side.

Regardless of whether they were forced or not, their hands were stained with the blood of their colleagues after all, and they could only follow Feng Hai's rebellion to gain a chance of survival. Otherwise, once they were captured, there was only death waiting for them.

Li Huan's words spread all over the world, and when they heard it in the ears of the soldiers at the bottom, their hearts immediately became excited.

They are just big-headed soldiers who just follow the orders of their superiors. They never thought that one day they would commit major rebellion.

When Li Huan said that their sins could be forgiven, many soldiers were naturally convinced that life was better than death.

These lower-level soldiers were fine, but those middle- and high-level military generals had no way to turn back. Seeing that Li Huan's words made the soldiers under his command fluctuate, their expressions changed drastically.

A general immediately shouted: "Brothers, don't believe this thief. How could the Emperor spare us? Don't forget, we almost killed the Emperor before. Think about it, the Emperor will spare us."

?"

The other generals also shouted loudly after hearing this.

Under the intimidation and threats of these generals, the faces of the soldiers who were originally thinking were confused and desperate.

When Liang Wan saw Li Huan appear with his troops, he knew that Feng Hai and Fei Hong might have failed, and his heart sank.

Several generals around Liang Wan said with fear in their eyes: "Sir, what should we do?"

After taking a look at the generals, Liang Wan took a deep breath and said: "The Four Guards Camp of Tengxiang are elites. Now everyone's hearts are wandering. Even if they fight head-on, they are no match for us. Let's change direction and fight out of the city, even if it's

It is better to fall into the trap of a bandit than to be caught, have your skin peeled off and your muscles cramped, or be cut into pieces with a thousand knives.”

When the generals heard this, their eyes lit up, and they bowed their hands to Liang Wan as if they had a backbone and said, "We are willing to follow your leader's lead."

After giving Li Huan a distant look, Liang Wan and other generals immediately hid themselves among the army.

At the same time, Li Huan watched the floating rebel soldiers regain their composure one by one. He sighed in his heart, and immediately a cold light flashed in his eyes. He pointed forward with a fine iron spear in his hand and shouted: "Soldiers, follow me.

I will kill the thief!"

Since they are stubborn, then just kill them all. After all, even if these soldiers surrender in the end, they are still a hidden danger whether they stay in the army or are released to their places.

Some of the soldiers looked at the Tengxiang Zuowei army coming towards them, and seemed to know that they would die. They actually burst out with a bit of blood, howling to suppress the fear and despair in their hearts, and desperately facing the army.

Suddenly, tens of thousands of troops from both sides were fighting on this long street.

The long street is not spacious, so it is conceivable that there are only a very small number of armies who can actually fight head-on. However, in this case, the fighting will definitely be very bloody.

It can be said that the soldiers in the front line, whether they are the enemy or ours, are almost certain to die. Even if they are somewhat brave, they cannot withstand the waves of impact.

Soon hundreds of corpses fell on the long street.

At the rear of the rebels, Liang Wan had gathered a group of generals and elite soldiers. He was unaware that the soldiers and horses who were fighting with Tengxiang's left guard suddenly led more than a thousand elite soldiers towards the city gate.

And go.

What made Liang Wan feel desperate was that before he had gone very far, he was faced with an army under the British flag. Countless torches lit up the night sky like stars all over the sky. At a glance, he knew the size of this army.

How big is it.

When he saw the British flag, Liang Wan couldn't help but curse.

"Damn it, how dare this British prince lead troops into the city? Isn't he afraid that the court and the emperor will hold him accountable for the crime of mobilizing troops into the city without authorization?"

To mobilize troops without the decree of the imperial court is a complete act of treason. If you are charged with treason, no one will intercede on your behalf.

Including Feng Hai, they had never considered the possibility of the British guild leading troops into the city, because in their view, unless Zhang Mao rebelled like they did, otherwise, even if the British guild knew that there was chaos in the city, they would only choose to sit in

Camp in Beijing to observe the wind direction.

After all, from the perspective of the British Duke, he is a hereditary Duke. No matter who the emperor is, he will never lose the honor and favor of the Zhang family.

Even if the new emperor ascends the throne, he will definitely be rewarded heavily because Zhang Mao sits in the capital and stabilizes the overall situation.

It's a pity that despite all their calculations, they never thought that Zhang Mao would really dare to force his own troops into the city to protect him, so that their last retreat was cut off.

Zhang Mao, who was galloping at the front of the army, saw by the light of the fire that the flags held by the soldiers on the opposite side were those of Xiaoyong Camp.
