Chapter 277 The Beacon Rising

In the 556th year of the Qing Dynasty, on the third day of October, Su Mingjue led the Jinling secret guards with 30,000 automatic crossbows and went north along the Mian River to meet Meng Helan in Huizhou.

Meng Helan was shocked when she saw the capable secret guard on the other side, and asked: "Where did this person come from?"

Su Mingjue threw the token in his arms over, "Thanks to him, I came here all the way from Jinling City."

Meng Helan stretched out his hand to grab it, and when he glanced at the words on the token, he was startled, "King Jinling! You are his son!"

Su Mingjue nodded with a smile, "It's not that I deliberately hid it from you, it's because he disliked me for going there. Dude, let me go to the capital as the son of a wealthy businessman so that I won't be taken care of, so that I can be tempered and transformed."

Meng Helan chuckled and threw the token back: "The King of Jinling still has some foresight, your words are true. There is progress."

Su Mingjue took it and glared at him, "Why don't you look down on me?"

Meng Helan shook his head and said, "When you mentioned this plan before, I refused it. After all, if this matter failed, the people involved would be involved. Your whole clan."

Su Mingjue shrugged, "Now that I know my family background, I'm not afraid anymore."

Meng Helan reined in his horse and looked forward, and said calmly: "The King of Jinling means the same thing."

Su Mingjue curled his lips, people are too smart, sometimes a little bit It doesn't mean anything either.

However, he was still very sure: "It will not fail."

Meng Helan looked at him with burning eyes and nodded, "I believe you."

At the same time, the Jiangnan Navy moved northward, approaching Qingji.

However, the imperial mails and memorials sent to the north and south have been controlled for a long time, and the information obtained by the DPRK and China was incorrect.

...

The iron armies from the north and the south were approaching, and the imperial court had just received the news of Meng Helan's victory in the first battle.

In the Jinluan Hall, Emperor Anqing opened the memorial with a look of joy on his face.

"Okay, okay! This Meng family is a man who is good at conquering and fighting. One Meng Guangping left, and another Meng Helan came."

"Hemenguan is back in our hands again!"

He put down the fold in his hand and looked at the standing tree below. Pei Yi said:

"Prime Minister Pei really has a sharp eye for pearls!"

"With Meng Helan here, the people of Lixia will not dare to attack easily!"

Pei Yi nodded slightly when he heard this, with a calm expression on his face, as if he had been praised by the emperor. I mean, there's not much to be happy about.

When the courtiers below heard this, they all bowed and congratulated:

"Congratulations to your Majesty for regaining Hemen Pass!"

Emperor Anqing was in a good mood and was about to reward him.

Suddenly there was a violent drum sound in his ears. Emperor Anqing looked at Changli and asked, "Who is beating the Dengwen drum?"

Before Changli could speak, a high-pitched voice came from the side, "Your Majesty, there is someone here. "Bang the Dengwen drum."

Emperor Anqing was in a happy mood just after winning the battle. Although Lu Shaoyu had beaten the Dengwen drum to warn the Meng family, it was rare after all. Most people beat the Dengwen drum for grievances.

Hearing this, he opened his mouth and said, "Bring him here! If you have any grievance, I will make the decision for him today."

The little eunuch was silent for a moment after hearing this, as if he had something to hide.

Emperor Anqing thought that the people who beat the drum involved too many officials, so the little eunuch didn't dare to say anything, so he immediately waved his hand, "But it doesn't matter."

The little eunuch got the order, and although he was a little bolder, this matter was not A good thing, he said tremblingly: "Your majesty, the people who beat the drum are not for grievances, but..."

"What is it?"

The eunuch lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at the person on the dragon chair, "for the purpose of reading The appeal, he...he wrote a petition to pursue His Majesty."

As soon as this statement came out, Emperor Anqing's face was full of anger. This petition has always been written to condemn others, but today someone actually dared to openly provoke him.

He was furious and was about to order to kill him with a stick.

A long voice suddenly came from a distance, and a soldier in red armor walked in without announcing it, and hurriedly reported: "Report!"

Emperor Anqing frowned and looked at the visitor, "How unbecoming you are in a panic!"

The visitor ignored him. As a courtesy, Qianqihui reported: "The Liuhe River has been lost. There are naval forces going up the river and are now approaching the east city gate!"

As soon as this statement came out, all the officials were shocked.

Emperor Anqing frowned, "Who's invading?"

The soldier lowered his head and responded: "They say he came from the south, and his name is King Jiangling."

Emperor Anqing was confused when he heard this. He had never heard of this person before. Why did it feel like he came overnight? Like a head popping up.

He looked at the minister and said, "Who is this King of Jiangling?"

The ministers below also looked at each other and shook their heads.

Emperor Anqing saw that the people below him were silent, and looked sharply at the Minister of War, "Zhang Aiqing, tell me!"

The Minister of War shook his head, hesitated for a moment and said: "I have never heard of this, coming from the south. , and the naval force is so powerful, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it's only that one."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Anqing narrowed his eyebrows, and a person next to him stood up and said: "If it is really the King of Jinling, then the censor should also There's a booklet."

There was a quarrel between the two sides about this matter. Emperor Anqing threw the booklet away with a headache. With a crisp "snap", the court fell into silence.

Emperor Anqing said in a deep voice: "The Northern Division didn't notice such a big thing. What does the Northern Division Admiral do for food?"

After saying that, he looked at Chang Li who was holding a fly whisk at the side: "Have you received any orders from the Navy? Do you want to repay it?"

Changli shook his head.

The soldier bravely said: "This navy came out of nowhere. It seems that it did not come from the waters of the North Division."

"Then let's call Xiahou over first and annihilate him." After

hearing this, Chang Li accepted the order. He bowed and retreated.

However, before he could take a few steps, another person hurriedly entered the hall.

"Report!"

A sharp and urgent voice sounded in the hall again, and everyone trembled.

Emperor Anqing looked at the person who came, "What happened again?"

The soldier knelt on the ground, "The Prison of the Criminal Department, the Prison of the Criminal Department was intercepted."

When Emperor Anqing heard this, he had an ominous premonition before he thought about it.

Another soldier ran in in a panic,

"It's not good, it's not good, Your Majesty!"

All the courtiers had been stunned by what happened one after another, and when they heard this again, they became frightened for a moment.

The soldiers were covered in blood, as if they had escaped from the battlefield.

Emperor Anqing managed to calm down and said: "What's the matter?"

"Rebellion! Meng Helan rebelled!"

Emperor Anqing put his hand on the dragon chair after hearing this, "What did you say!"

"Meng Helan has gathered 30,000 troops and horses and is now at the east gate! "

When Emperor Anqing heard this, he clenched his hands on the dragon chair and said, "How did he come to the capital with only 30,000 troops?"

The soldier shook his head.

"Someone, put the prison..."

Emperor Anqing realized that the prison had been taken over halfway through his words. He took a deep breath and said, "Where are the imperial guards? Quickly escort them!"

Before he could finish speaking, a little eunuch hurriedly fled inside and said,

"Your Majesty . !Meng Helan has already arrived outside the city gate, Your Majesty, you should leave quickly!"

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Anqing was full of surprise, "How could it be so fast! Isn't there still the Royal Forest Army?"

The soldier dragged his last breath, "Their crossbows It can eject automatically, but our speed is not as fast as theirs!"

Emperor Anqing slowly closed his eyes after hearing this. He couldn't believe that Meng Helan actually attacked in such a short time! Even though

he had tried so many precautions, he still failed to defend him!

All the civil and military officials in Jinluan Palace had already fled in all directions after hearing this, but Pei Yi stood unmoved in the palace.

With the crisp sound of weapons, he left the hall and walked into the harem.

Not long after, Meng Helan appeared in front of the hall dressed in black and red robe.

He looked at Emperor Anqing, who had already tried his best, and pointed at him with his sword: "I finally waited for today!"

Emperor Anqing looked at the familiar and unfamiliar face in front of him, his veins popped out, "Meng Helan! You rebel!

Hearing this, Meng Helan chuckled and said, "The word rebel is really disgusting when you say it in your mouth." "

I, the Meng family, are full of loyal members, but you have also falsely accused me of being a rebel. Who knew you would end up saying this. " Is this a false accusation?"

Meng Helan looked at the sword in his hand and sneered: "But you don't have that chance anymore!"

As he said that, he was about to take a step forward with his sword in hand, when a voice outside the door hurriedly shouted: "Slow down. Come on! I have some accounts to settle."

After saying that, Su Shiqian walked in from outside the hall.

Emperor Anqing watched him approach with an incredible look on his face: "King Jinling, you have rebelled too."

Su Shiqian looked at him with disdain, "Treacherous people like you should not have guessed this outcome. "

As he said, he took out a bottle of poison from his arms, "Since I made a horse-killing oath with my father, I should also drink this poison with him."

Meng Helan looked at Su Shiqian and said, "I should take care of such small things as King Jinling . Let's go!"

Su Shiqian didn't agree and walked forward: "Each one depends on his ability!"

After saying that, the two of them walked forward step by step.

Seeing the two men approaching, Emperor Anqing did not want to die miserably in their hands, so he drew a sword and committed suicide on the dragon chair.

The blood immediately collapsed on the imperial court, and since then the last emperor of the Daxing Dynasty passed away.
