Chapter Seven Lost Power

Everyone on the table was shocked.

Except for Zheng, Jing Wenzhong and Qin Juexiang, the rest of the people all rose up when they heard the sound.

Luo Chengyuan asked quickly: "It's the soldiers of the three camps."

The warrior hesitated: "No. This army has no banner. The soldiers are very short, but extremely strong. They are definitely not like the surrounding imperial guards."

The second warrior quickly walked upstairs: "Reported to the leader of the alliance, the officers and soldiers have now blocked the exits of the main hall. The swords are being deployed. After investigation, the total number of people on the other side is over 1,000. Fifty percent are equipped with crossbow arrows and muskets."

Alliance Leader Zheng said: "Tell me the order. All people will be removed from their defenses and enter the room. Do not conflict with them head-on." The two warriors responded.

Chen Sheng said: "The officers and soldiers came suddenly and quickly, and at this time, they obviously had the intention of catching all in one go. Ming Shao will break through later. Xiaohao and I are in front and you are behind. We must protect the young master." Chang Sihao said that, Ma Mingshao nodded and exchanged glances with Qin Juexiang for confirmation.

The leader of the Zheng League looked at Ningguang: "This official army is coming strangely. The imperial guards and surrounding camps are under the supervision of our alliance. There is no reason why he has been reported before he has reached the headquarters. Lao Jing. Let's go out and have a look."

Just two steps away, the third warrior appeared at the stairs: "Report to the leader of the alliance, someone recognized that the official army was led by Qi Jiguang."

Everyone was surprised and hurried down to the front yard. They saw crossbowmen on the outer wall of the main hall, aiming at the corridor courtyard road and other places where they were rushing. Two rows of officers and soldiers at the main entrance were already admitted to the hospital. They squatted in front and stood with muskets in their hands and kept moving in the direction of the Dayou Hall. The two rows of small school guards behind the gunman must be one. They were less than five feet tall and were about forty years old. The expression was cold and dark. The beard of half a palm made him look very old. This man wore a gauze crown and a court uniform. He was not dressed in a battle. A young man in white was looking around beside him.

Chang Sihao recognized the young man in white as Liu Jinwu at a glance. He immediately understood in his heart. He quickly whispered to the leader of Zheng and walked out.

When Liu Jinwu saw that it was him, he hurriedly shouted: "Stop it. Don't hurt Qiansui." Qi Jiguang waved his hand and lowered the front muzzle and dodged the road.

Chang Sihao came over and carried everyone. He pulled Liu Jinwu and said quietly, "What's going on with these soldiers?" Liu Jinwu said, "Of course I transferred here. The palace has strengthened its defense and is safe. I want to help you catch Sonam Gyatso. It happened that Lord Qi was summoned by the emperor and was also in the palace. When he heard this, he asked to order the soldiers to come with me. Let's inquire along the way. Fortunately, you two have obvious characteristics. Otherwise, it would be really troublesome to find them." Chang Sihao said, "Things have changed. Don't worry. Let them retreat."

Liu Jinwu sucked his teeth and looked at the direction of the group leader Zheng and his group. He waited for a moment. He went over to report to Qi Jiguang. The two muttered a few words. Qi Jiguang looked at Chang Sihao and bowed to salute, "The last general Qi Jiguang has seen Qiansui." Chang Sihao hurriedly reached out to support him: "Master Qi's military achievements are great. He is respected by the people of the world. What kind of virtue can a boy dare to accept such worship by the Lord." Qi Jiguang was slightly surprised. His eyes were raised and swept it quickly on Chang Sihao's face. He hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Don't dare." He leaned closer and said, "Qiansui. The emperor knew about this matter. If he could not take Sonam Gyatso back, it would be a small matter for General Liu and General Liu to dereliction of duty. I am afraid that at the end of the year, the emperor was worried about assassination. Long was uneasy."

Chang Sihao frowned slightly and looked back at Sonam Gyatso among the group of people of the Zheng League Leader. The yellow-robed monk's hat was very conspicuous. He knew that he could not hide it. He nodded and said, "This is a misunderstanding. I will enter the palace with you. I will give the emperor an explanation." Qi Jiguang showed a little embarrassed. Liu Jinwu glared and held back his head.

Chang Sihao went back and explained a few brief words to Zheng and others. He came out to follow Qi, and Liu and the others withdrew their troops back to the palace. Longqing was enjoying the plum blossoms in Wansui Mountain. He immediately summoned him. Liu Jinwu led the way. The three of them came out of Xuanwu Gate. After passing the north gate, Wansuimen. They came to Wansui Mountain. Chang Sihao met with the small and steep mountain. He supported the snow and clouds. There were red walls and golden tiles hidden among the dry jade and cypresses, just like a cave of gods. I didn't expect that there was such a place behind the Forbidden City. I couldn't help but secretly praised it.

When I walked to the mountainside, I saw a small empty scene at the end of the stone path in front of me. The snow was white everywhere. The surroundings were connected by blood. The plum branches were black like ink. It was like a wonderful stroke. There was an octagonal pavilion on the west side. Emperor Longqing was sitting inside. Looking at the little girl playing among the red plums, smiling. Feng Bao stood behind Longqing with a smile. The guards and others surrounded him from afar.

The three of them approached. When the little girl saw Chang Sihao, she immediately laughed and laughed. She ran over and threw herself on his waist and shouted, "Good brother."

Chang Sihao smiled and said, "Ah. Shake your head and ginger."

Zhu Yaojiang said, "I'm not. I'm Princess Qixia. You won't greet you when you see me." Chang Sihao hugged his arms and said, "Since you call me a good brother, I'm your elder. How can you give me a blessing? You should pay me a blessing." Zhu Yaojiang blinked his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "It's right." He took a step back and pressed his hands on his hips and squatted in a serious posture. He lowered his head and said, "Yaojiang greets me to a good brother." Although his voice was young, he had a ladylike style. Longqing laughed: "Yaojiang. You have to call uncle. Otherwise, our seniority would be really messy." He turned around and said, "Xiaojun. Come and say hello to Uncle Chang."

Feng Bao moved forward slightly. Chang Sihao then noticed that a little boy was holding a little boy in his arms. The little boy's long eyelashes flashed and seemed to be a little scared. He pierced his head into Feng Bao's arms and said weakly: "Big companion. Why is his face so dark?" Feng Bao smiled: "Qiansui is the reincarnation of Bao Gong. Of course his face is dark." The little boy smiled: "Bao Gong is a good person. You told me." Feng Bao smiled: "Yes, Bao Gong is a good person. Qiansui is naturally a good person." The little boy thought for a while and pouted: "That may not be."

Longqing laughed and said, "This is my third son Yijun. He will be six years old next year. How about it? He is still quite smart."

Chang Sihao smiled and said, "This child can distinguish right from wrong at a young age. He has his own ideas. It's amazing."

Longqing nodded and smiled and asked, "General Qi, can you take Sonam Gyatso?" Qi Jiguang lowered his head and said, "This..." Chang Sihao hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I have found out that Sonam Gyatso had no intention of coming to Beijing. So you stopped General Qi." Longqing said, "Well, I saw that more people were sent in the palace, so I called Jinwu to ask. I realized that Sonam Gyatso was in the capital. This person was the leader of the Huang Cult. He has always had close ties with the Renbengba family. Now Xinxiaba Caidan Dorje has occupied the Tibetan area and supported the White Cult. He has lost his living space and went out to run around. It was just to fight for alliances. There is no reason or need to assassinate. This person is in peace between Tibet and Mongolia. He should have met before. But now it is not the time. He has not brought it. Let him go for the time being."

Chang Sihao tentatively said, "What kind of 'Duojie' is a mutiny? I don't know what the emperor has to do with it." Long Qing smiled and sighed again. He said, "Tibet is remote and difficult to attack. In addition, Caidan Dorje has strong strength. The court has been in a state of suppressing Japanese and destroying pirates over the years. He can only appease him." Qi Jiguang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to promote a brigade to sweep the Tibetan area. I will capture all the disciples of Caidan Dorje in one place to repay the lord of the Holy Lord Long."

Longqing said: "General Qi is loyal and brave. However, the general has worked hard for many years to fight against the Japanese. He should be resolute in the capital and enjoy wealth. How can I bear to send you far away to that barren land? You go down first."

Qi Jiguang originally wanted to tell the truth. Seeing Longqing waved his hand, he didn't dare to say anything again. He left. An eunuch came to report: "Report to the emperor. Master Xu asked for a meeting. He was waiting for the imperial decree." Longqing nodded: "It's too cold to go to the Yangxin Palace to wait. I'll go here." The eunuch responded. Longqing ordered Feng Baozhao to see the princess and the prince. He got up with Chang and Liu and drove down the mountain. On the way, he asked: "Jinwu. Are the gifts ready?" Liu Jinwu smiled: "Go back to the emperor. I've already prepared them. I originally planned to take Qiansui to see them today. But it was delayed because of Sonam Gyatso's affairs." Longqing smiled: "I want to discuss state affairs with Master Xu. I don't know when it will be over. You can take him there." Liu Jinwu smiled: "Yes."

Chang Sihao saw that the two of them had a vague answer and had a mysterious expression. He seemed to have prepared something for him. He couldn't guess what he had done. He left the Wansui Gate and said goodbye to Longqing. He led him to the west, passed Ganming Gate, Chengguang Hall, Yuhe Bridge, and all the way out of Xi'an Gate.

After leaving Xi'an Gate, he turned south. He asked on the way. Liu Jinwu just smiled and said nothing.

The two of them walked a cup of tea in the alleys of the alleys of the alley. They cut into a slightly wider street and before they arrived at a large mansion, Liu Jinwu stepped forward and knocked the door knocker.
