Gao Qiqian recruited a person, then gave orders, and then several cavalry rushed out of the half-open city gate and scattered into the capital.

After all this, Gao Qi turned his head and looked at the burning Forbidden City, with a strange brilliance flashing in his eyes. "In the 13th year of palace examination, the emperor was named the top scholar, and was first appointed as the editor of the Hanlin Academy. He then promoted step by step, and his career was smooth. In less than two years, he was appointed as the Grand Secretary of the Right Minister of the Ministry of Rites. He was probably the only one of you, starting from the founding of the Ming Dynasty! Am I right? Mr. Wei."

Wei Zaode clasped his fists and said upwards: "Gao Gongmi praised it, this is His Majesty's kindness and trust, and the students will do their best to live up to the holy grace."

Gao Qiqian waved his hand gently and said, "It is a good thing to be grateful for, but there is one thing that our family always feels a little regret for Mr. Wei."

Wei Zaode was puzzled, "What does Gao Gong mean?"

Gao Qiqian smiled faintly and said, "Although 'there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts', people are always accustomed to putting similar people together to compare. According to Mr. Wei's qualifications and abilities, he should be the well-deserved leader in the list of high schools on the same list, but unfortunately there is such a person. He and you are ranked as the same Jinshi, but they have chosen a completely different path from you. You are promoted step by step in the court, and he has won many battles in the border areas.

In theory, the inside is greater than the outside, and literature is more important than martial arts. However, in this chaotic era, the role of martial arts is greater than that of literary arts. Especially, he, a genius of civil and military who is born in Jinshi and can be good at fighting, is easily regarded as the savior of the Ming Dynasty. In this case, although your rising star is still bright, it will become more and more dim under his dazzling light. In this regard, we are very curious about how you, the top scholar in the Ming Dynasty, think about this?"

Wei Zaode's eyes twitched, he coughed gently, and said with a faint smile: "Gao Gong is joking. Zhou Xuanwu and his students are both emperors. Isn't it the luck of the students and the Ming Dynasty with such a colleague?"

Gao Qiqin smiled and applauded, "Hahaha! Mr. Wei's mind is really admirable to our family. But sometimes it is the luck of the Ming Dynasty, but it may not be your luck. The battles in the court have always been bloody, and there are often only one person who can reach the top in the end, and the others can only crawl at his feet to survive. Our family hopes that Mr. Wei will be the final person, not to be lost in everyone, and let your talent and ability down."

Seeing Wei Zaode silent, Gao Qi smiled and said, "If we are, Mr. Wei can think about it carefully in the future. As for now? Please ask Mr. Wei to do our family a favor and calm the prince's emotions. At the same time, send someone to send a letter to the emperor and buy some time for our family. There is no need to do too much, just use it until dawn."

Wei Zaode pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head and said, "It is impossible to completely win the trust of others just by sending someone to send a letter to Your Majesty. The students will report to Your Highness in person later. The four cities are on fire, and the situation outside the imperial city is unclear. Rampantly letting the imperial army leave the city will cause empty troops and put the entire Ming Dynasty into danger. At this time, you should guard the imperial city and send soldiers out to find out the source of the riot and all participants. When dawn, you will attack again and quell the riot. And can anyone else complete such a task besides you, Gao Gong?"

Gao Qiqian was stunned at first, then laughed and said, "Mr. Wei, you really surprised our family! You have completed the step of entering the cabinet. The next step is to let our family help you become the chief minister of the cabinet!"

On the walls of the imperial city, countless torches swayed in the night wind, illuminating the area dozens of feet below the city. Rows of soldiers stood behind the marches, with long bows in their hands, long swords on their waists, and porcelain pots filled with feather arrows were placed beside their feet, waiting for the battle but speechless. The air was filled with the fragrance of oil burning, and the bright light of the torches echoed the red light emitted by the fire flashing in the distance, just like stars in the sky.

The capital was in flames, forcing some people to move towards the edge of the imperial city. But after a rain of arrows on it, the people screamed and left, leaving dozens of corpses. At this point, no one dared to approach the imperial city, and some residents in the suburbs of the imperial city also fled their residences because of the terror, leaving behind an empty house.

In one of these houses, the doors were locked and the windows were closed. In a corner of the window, two middle-aged men in brown clothes stared at the main avenue not far away through the gaps in the window. Behind them, the entire wall was opened a large hole half a person high, and the opening of the hole was facing a messy house.

Although this arrangement is simple, it can show the extraordinary people in the house. As long as they encounter danger, they can retreat from the entrance of the cave to the private house area at any time. At that time, they will be like fish entering the sea, and it will be difficult to find them again.

Tang Qi couldn't stand the death-like tranquility and whispered: "Mr. Meng Qian, four more people have passed, so we just ignore them completely?"

Meng Yue did not turn his head, but said in a low voice: "They are not far away, and someone will take care of them. You only need to stay here well now. Once the target appears, I will signal you to take action."

Tang Qi was angry and his tone was full of anger. "Mr. Meng Qian, I have been squatting here for an hour. So far, I don't even know what I want to do. If this continues, I will not be able to accompany you."

Meng Yue slowly turned his head, "Do you really want to know?"

Tang Qi hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

Meng Yue turned his head and looked ahead again and said, "I hate this Beijing city. There are too many people and too many officials. But looking around, they are all useless people. Zhou Junmen is a capable person. He came to the capital to do something. But such an action touched the interests of some people, so they wanted to kill Zhou Junmen. The reason why such a big riot occurred in the city was that someone wanted to take the life of Zhou Junmen and push the cause of the riot on Zhou Junmen. How many people were involved in this matter can't be discovered in a short time. But the source of this matter is Gao Qiqian, who has a grudge against Zhou Junmen. You are the only target tonight. He is the former admiral of the Beijing camp, and the current Eunuch Gao who controls the imperial guards in the imperial city."

Tang Qi exclaimed, and his whole body trembled.
