After discussing with Ma Shaoguang, Zhu Jiang and Ma asked, "Uncle, what should I do with the prince's official documents? In order to avoid alerting the snake, I will enter the palace once tomorrow!"

Ma Shaoguang quickly shook his head: "No, you must not take risks at critical moments now. Who knows what news is there on the prince? What if you enter the palace and be caught by the prince?"

Ma Shaoguang pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, tomorrow morning, if you order a little eunuch to enter the palace to ask for leave, you will say that you are inconvenient and cannot enter the palace to attend the meeting!"

Zhu Jiang nodded when he heard Ma Shaoguang say this, but in fact he didn't want to take risks in the palace.

The next day, Zhu Jiang sent someone to the palace to ask for leave according to Ma Shaoguang's arrangement, but when he thought that the prince was reluctant to give in, he actually sent a eunuch with the imperial physician to treat Zhu Jiang.

The matter is difficult to deal with now. Zhu Jiang is not sick at all. The imperial physician can see it with just a pulse. What's more, there are now fully armed soldiers in the Qin Palace, so why can outsiders come in casually.

Zhu Jiang was in a dilemma and had no choice but to ask Ma Shaoguang for solutions.

Ma Shaoguang was quite embarrassed when he heard Zhu Jiang say this. Ma Shaoguang thought for a while and asked, "Prince, how are you doing here?"

"My third uncle, Jiang Pengju, and Jin Daoming have no problem. A total of 4,000 personal soldiers from each prefecture were gathered. But now it is not the agreed time, and the arsenal in Nancheng has not been opened, and some heavy firearms cannot be collected. The walls of Donghua Gate are thick, and the palace gate cannot be opened without cannons!"

"Prince, the matter is urgent now, so I have no choice but to take action first. If the prince notices that something is wrong, we will miss the first move!"

According to the plan in advance, the Nancheng Arsenal was opened on the afternoon of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and then Ma Rufeng sent people to transport out a few cannons and entered the inner city from Chongwen Gate under Ding Changsheng. However, the military situation is urgent now, so there is no way to go.

Zhu Jiang thought about it and had to do this. Zhu Jiang found his own soldiers and asked him to find Ma Rufeng, Jiang Pengju, and Jin Daoming. He agreed to take action on Shen Shi tonight, because Shen Shi happened to be the time when the guards in the palace were changing their posts, so he could catch him off guard.

Ma Rufeng was preparing at home, and was busy, but he didn't expect that the Qin Palace would send an order to start tonight. This was a whole day earlier. Ma Rufeng didn't know why the Qin King did this, so he put down what he had to see Zhu Jiang.

After seeing Zhu Jiang, Ma Rufeng realized that things had reached this point and could not do anything beforehand. There was no way Ma Rufeng had to sigh and bless the prince with no preparation.

Physician Fang from the Imperial Hospital has been waiting in the living room of the Qinwang Mansion for two hours, but has not seen the King of Qin. Physician Fang is an eighth-rank imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital. Although he is a middle-level official position in the Imperial Hospital, his medical skills are indeed the best in the Imperial Hospital.

Today is the 14th day of the first lunar month. It was originally the time for the Imperial Hospital to prepare for the Muslim, but at noon, the Zongren Mansion sent an order to ask the Imperial Hospital to send a doctor to treat the King of Qin. The King of Qin was the prince or the emperor's prince. The doctors in the Imperial Hospital naturally did not dare to neglect them and quickly sent the Imperial Hospital with the best medical skills to treat.

Unexpectedly, Imperial Physician Fang waited at Shen Shi from noon to Shen Shi, but had not seen the King of Qin yet. Imperial Physician Fang complained to the little eunuch who brought him, "Why did the King of Qin take such a long time to prepare for this middle-aged official?"

The little eunuch was just a low-level middle-level official in the palace and had no idea what. The other imperial physician had to comfort him: "Doctor Fang waited for a while, the King of Qin probably forgot about this. Let's go and inform us again!"

The little eunuch was about to leave the house, and the gate of the reception room was opened everywhere. The King of Qin, who should have been sick, appeared in front of Doctor Fang in military uniform.

Zhu Jiang saw the two people in the room and said with a smile: "Doctor Fang, I have been waiting for you for a long time. My illness is cured now!"

When Doctor Fang saw that something was wrong outside, the yard was full of soldiers covered in armor, and they were all holding sharp blades. At first glance, he was about to fight with others.

After the war in the late Ming Dynasty, the Imperial Doctor Fang was so scared that he saw these soldiers trembling all over and said stutteringly: "Prince... Prince, the minor official is just an imperial physician. He comes to see the prince at the order of the prince, but he is not a bad person!"

Zhu Jiang was so scared at Doctor Fang and laughed: "Haha, Doctor Fang, don't worry, I won't target you today! What I want to deal with is the prince who is inferior to the beast!"

After Zhu Jiang said that, he turned around and said to the personal soldiers all over the yard: "Brothers! You know that I am the second son of my father. The prince was not the king. I used to hope to live in harmony with Zhu Hai! But I received the news that Zhu Hai was crazy and took advantage of his father's time in Liaodong to collude with outsiders to murder his father! This king is the son of his father. How could he see that Zhu Hai, a rebellious son, do such unfilial things? So today I want to clear the king and eliminate Zhu Hai's rebellion. Brothers and I will kill into the Eastern Palace together, bring Zhu Hai's rebellion to justice, and hand it over to the father's rebellion!"

In the early Ming Dynasty, the prince had a personal army of 16,800 guards. However, after Zhu Di's Jingnan Campaign, emperors of all dynasties were closely guarded against these cousins, so from Yongle to Jiajing period, the prince's personal army was gradually reduced to 300. However, Zhu Jiang was Zhu Hongsan's own son, so his personal army could be expanded to 500.

Zhu Jiang's personal soldiers were all brothers who had been through life and death with him back then. In addition, after so many years of enlistment and bribery, they all were fed with silver, so loyalty was completely fine.

Now when these personal soldiers heard Zhu Jiang say this, they shouted one by one: "Get into the Eastern Palace and capture Zhu Hai!"

Even if Doctor Fang is ignorant, he knows what he has encountered. This is the second time in Xuanwu Sect. Doctor Fang is so scared that he is like a pile of mud and slump on the ground.

Zhu Jiang smiled when he saw Doctor Fang like this and said, "Don't worry, Doctor Fang, don't worry, you have nothing to celebrate with me. I will let you go today, but you!" After Zhu Jiang said, he pointed to the little eunuch in the room and said, "You Zhu Hai's castrated dog, Zhu Hai persecuted me the most! People come, pull this castrated dog out and cut off the sacrifice flag!"

In fact, that little eunuch was just the lowest-level official in the Eastern Palace. He had the opportunity to persecute Zhu Jiang, but now Zhu Jiang wants to use his head to inspire morale.

The little eunuch was soon taken out of the reception room by the soldiers, and cut off his head with a knife at the door of the Second Hall of the Qinwang Mansion. These soldiers had been motivated by Zhu Jiang just now, but now they saw the human blood and their eyes were red. They shouted loudly and rushed out of the Qinwang Mansion and rushed towards the Donghua Gate not far away.

It is the time of Shen, which is around four o'clock in the afternoon in the future, and it is the time when it is getting dark. Because tomorrow is the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, Beijing Dongcheng is very lively today. Many businesses have begun to prepare lanterns, and the streets are crowded.

At this time, a group of red-eyed soldiers rushed out from there and killed them as soon as they saw them. For a moment, Dongcheng became like hell, and many Beijing citizens could not dodge and were hacked to death.

Beijing Dongcheng was in chaos, and Ma Rufeng was also involved in the fight with Zhu Jiang, Jiang Pengju and Jin Daoming. Ma Rufeng contacted several generals. In addition to Jiang Pengju's 300 personal soldiers, Jin Daoming led the most team, with a total of more than 1,600 people, and nearly 3,000 troops were combined in three places, and they rushed to Donghuamen in Dongcheng together.

Donghua Gate is the east gate of the imperial city, and it is also the imperial city of later generations. Outside the imperial city is a ten-foot street. It is strictly forbidden for everyone to walk here. The first warning is made and the second shooting is on the spot, so few people come here to visit.

Today, the quiet Donghuamen Street became a downtown city. Zhu Jiang brought 3,000 people to the Donghuamen Gate and asked the soldiers guarding the city to open the Donghuamen Gate.

At this time, the prince Zhu Hai appeared at Donghua Gate. Zhu Hai had been waiting for a long time at Donghua Gate. Yesterday, he discussed with Xia Wanchun and decided to force Zhu Jiang to take action one day so that he could catch Zhu Jiang off guard. So yesterday, Zhu Hai asked Zhu Jiang to enter the palace, preparing to catch him if Zhu Jiang enters the palace. If Zhu Jiang becomes suspicious, it would be good to force him to take action first.

Zhu Hai stood at the Donghua Gate and looked down and shouted: "All the soldiers who rebelled with the Qin King Zhu Jiang, I tell you that Zhu Jiang is plotting a rebellion and wants to lose his head! Now you put down the swords and guns in your hands and go home, and I promise you that you can go back to the past!"

When Zhu Jiang heard Zhu Hai say this under the city, he shouted: "Brothers, don't listen to him. The emperor has been held hostage by Zhu Hai. We are saving the emperor and making contributions! I promise you that those who rush into the palace to catch Zhu Hai are awarded the title of Marquis of Wanhu! Reward ten thousand taels of gold!"

Zhu Jiang's men were all veterans. If he had known what he had been here today, he would hear Zhu Jiang say so that he would go into the palace to catch Zhu Hai.

Seeing this, Zhu Jiang quickly ordered Ma Rufeng to bring out the siege equipment hidden in the surrounding houses and prepare to attack the imperial city.

In fact, siege equipment is just some ladders. What equipment can be transported under the nose of the palace? Even these ladders are also sneaked into materials and assembled in houses.

Zhu Jiang felt a little regretful when he saw that it was just some ladders. He wanted to use cannons to blow up Donghua Gate in his plan, but because time was tight, the cannons were still in the armory of Nancheng.

Zhu Jiang grabbed Ma Rufeng and shouted, "Uncle, it's not okay to have no cannons. Send people to Nancheng to transport cannons!"

Ma Rufeng commanded his men to attack the city with a cloud ladder, and shouted: "King of Qin, I have sent someone to the Nancheng, and it will probably take half an hour to transport it!"

When Zhu Jiang and Ma Rufeng were talking, their soldiers had already begun to attack the city. There was no heavy firepower on both sides, only muskets and swords and guns, and they fought under the imperial city wall.

Unlike Zhu Jiang, who has been through life and death many times, Zhu Hai only participated in a battle outside Nanchang. Now, seeing the real swords and guns on both sides, he was so scared that he fought. Xia Wanchun, who was standing beside him, was not afraid of death, but this was the first time he had seen such real swords and guns fighting.

Seeing that things were like this, Xia Wanchun said to Zhu Hai: "Your Highness, you have already taken action now. It's too unsafe on the city wall. Please return to the East Palace to wait!"
