The big raindrops hit the ground mercilessly.
The wind is so heavy and the rain is so dark that no light can be seen.
"Boom!"
The deafening noise made the ground tremble.
The barrel of thunder fire aimed at the open space in front of the Palace of Wanhe in the imperial city, hitting the ground with gravel splashing and pits and pits.
The ten rounds of artillery shells ended, and someone immediately pulled up the rain-proof tarp to cover the artillery, and pulled the wooden cart carrying the artillery back slowly.
Lightning flashed across, exposing the dark figure behind the firearms camp.
The blades are sharp and sharp, and there are many halberds.
Shangshu of the Ministry of War, who climbed to the upper floor of Wenyuan Pavilion, was holding a telescope, his eyes trembling in front of the barrel. Before he could finish speaking, he was snatched away by the neighboring Prime Minister Zhang.
When the lightning came on again, Prime Minister Zhang also saw the soldiers and horses outside.
"...Where did this come from?"
Prime Minister Zhang shouted in a low voice.
Although other people couldn't see the situation outside, they knew what was going on after listening to the news. It was forced! It's true rebellion!
Half an hour ago, everyone was still thinking about how the three princes would show their hands and feet in government affairs after ascending the throne, how to weaken the local forces and strengthen the imperial court's deterrence against the local government, and finally conquer the legacy. Not everyone has the courage to usurp the throne and claim the emperor, but it is the wish of most people to be a minister of power and a prime minister who has no one to disobey during his lifetime and who will pass his name down after his death.
Now these conjectures have been directly bombarded into scum by artillery.
Zhang's hands and feet are even colder, and he subconsciously thinks about the soldiers and horses he can mobilize.
There are his men in the imperial guard. There are hundreds of households in the Jinyiwei of Fusi in Beizhen who can speak for themselves. If you work hard, the Gyeonggi Camp will not be unavailable, however--
Far can't quench near thirst.
Seeing that the rebellion is about to break into the palace gate, they are trapped in Wenyuan Pavilion, like a turtle in an urn.
At this time, Prime Minister Jiang was supported by someone and came up to the ground tremblingly.
Jiang Zaixiang looked around, paying particular attention to Zhang's reaction, and soon his heart sank. Judging from the expressions and reactions of everyone, the outside affairs were not caused by the people present.
"Should the Firearms Camp be outside the Renwei Gate?"
"...When the second prince launched a rebellion before, His Majesty called part of the firearms camp to suppress the rebellion with the Janissaries, but later his Majesty could not afford to be seriously injured, and they stayed in the imperial city."
Jiang Zheng took over part of the military affairs in the inner city during the day, because he was a neutral faction in the DPRK, and he did not belong to Prime Minister Jiang, nor did he belong to Prime Minister Zhang. The forces on both sides were suspicious of each other, so they handed over the task to him.
Actually, there are people from Prime Minister Zhang and Prime Minister Jiang from within the Guards. They just lost the right to control the guards. They really wanted to make small moves. Others couldn't stop them at all.
After a moment of eye contact, everyone confirmed like Prime Minister Jiang that the problem was not with the courtiers.
They don’t have to do anything.
"You can't hear so many artillery sounds? It's definitely more than the people stranded in the imperial city before, I'm afraid it's the entire firearms camp!" Shangshu of the Ministry of War tremblingly said, ignoring the faction of political opponents, and said in a flustered expression. "The only one who can mobilize the firearms camp is your Majesty, can it be—"
Is it all a conspiracy, Lu Zhang's illusion to test his son and courtiers?
The ministers paled first, and then calmed down again.
The miserable appearance of the emperor lying in bed unconscious is not a pretense, even if it is a substitute, what is the emperor's face like this? There are thousands of ways to pretend to be sick, why pretend to be beaten?
The emperor pondered the emperor's heart all day, and his officials also pondered the emperor's heart all day, all for power.
Those who can sit in the position of Zaifu and sit in the ranks of six ministers all have insights into the emperor's habits and preferences. After all, only by making good use of these can they pave the way for themselves and drag down political opponents.
Lu Zhang is a faceless emperor.
It is absolutely impossible for him to give up, pretending to be beaten up...
Shangshu of the Ministry of War, who was speaking, also quickly figured out this. Before he could relax, he asked nervously: "It's not your majesty's order, so who are these people outside now supporting?"
Definitely not the third prince.
If the second prince had such an ability, what was the mutiny a few days ago? Try it out?
"The Sixth Prince has just returned to the capital today and has disappeared." Jiang Zhengshi whispered.
"...impossible."
Prime Minister Zhang looked disdainful. Everyone knew the situation of this little prince. He had a perverse temperament. Although his head was smart enough, he was too sharp. Few courtiers will support the prince, because his situation is too similar to the famous faint princes in history.
They were all clever and abnormal when they were young, and even when they grew up, they had a remarkable feat of leading troops to conquer one side, but when they took the throne, they became cruel and ruthless kings.
"Why did the firearms battalion sell their lives to a yellow-haired child? They are not afraid that the Gyeonggi Camp will come to the city tomorrow to kill them all? Although the artillery is powerful, the artillery and shells are limited. The firearms camp will add up to 300 Come here, what can you do?" Prime Minister Zhang said with contempt, but the facts are not what he said.
At least these three hundred people can rush into the imperial city and chop off the heads of all the important officials of Wenyuan Pavilion.
As civil servants, what they hate most is the current situation. Although they can analyze the situation well and comfort themselves with various reasons that being alive is more helpful to rebellion, they know that these words are useless in their hearts.
Once chaos occurs, those rebels will only hack and kill, and will not weigh the situation and leave their lives behind.
This creates a complex emotion of disgust and fear in everyone's hearts.
"Damn it!"
Prime Minister Zhang has completely lost the demeanor of the prime minister. If he was not staring at him, he might kick him off the bed.
He gasped for a while, and hurriedly ordered people to call the Guards who had been stationed near Wenyuan Pavilion.
The guards were pale, and they were obviously shocked by the salvo of artillery. When the two prime ministers asked them where they could hide, their expressions were even more ugly.
"Return to Jiang Xiang and Zhang Xiang, we have already checked, and the two doors leading to the outer city and the inner palace are all locked."
"What?"
The situation in the palace is generally like this. The palace gate is separated from the high wall. The front and back doors are buckled, which means that they are completely trapped here.
Prime Minister Jiang didn't speak, but Prime Minister Zhang remembered, staring at the guards.
——These people just wanted to leave them and run first, but they were stopped by the locked palace gate.
"The people who can lock the door without knowing it, except for the imperial army, are the servants in the palace..."
"What, are you talking about the eunuchs of the Superintendent of Rites?"
The struggle between the foreign dynasty and the inner court was mainly between Wenyuange and the Superintendent of Li. Only after the Chu Dynasty, the power of the Superintendent of Rites declined, and until the Qi Dynasty did not recover, the Zaifu did not pay attention to the Superintendent of Rites on weekdays.
But now...
The six princes are ambitious, and the concierge who has been suppressed decided to support him, and then hijacked the firearms camp to force the palace by forging the imperial decree or other means. This makes perfect sense!
Mistakenly thought that this was the truth, and the officials were extremely angry.
If the eunuchs are allowed to gain power, they would rather die.
Prince Jiang was also very disappointed. After all, in his heart, the sixth prince was slightly better than the third.
"No, we can't wait and die!"
No civil servants are willing to surrender to the eunuch, and they are not willing to give in temporarily.
Which people in the history books who did this kind of thing were not scolded bloody?
In the corner stood a servant book lang, looking at the extremely angry courtier in amazement. He was not only surprised but also indescribably angry. How could the Sixth Prince do this? Obviously it was His Royal Highness, but they didn't put His Royal Highness in their eyes!
In the chaos, the "rebels" have entered the imperial city, surrounding the area where Wenyuan Pavilion is located.
Jiang Prime Minister took the people out, and suddenly discovered that there were Jin Yiwei inside these people.
"A nest of snakes and rats!"
Prime Minister Jiang scolded and said that Chen Chaochangwei’s disaster is still fresh in his memory.
"No, why are there people from the Janissaries?"
Jiang Zhengshi was young and his eyes were so good that he noticed that the people in the "rebel" had different clothes and armor. Some of them were clearly the imperial guards who bowed their heads to them during the day.
Everyone looked at each other, completely confused.
Soon someone shouted outside, ready to open the locked palace door and persuade the guards inside not to resist, otherwise it would be treated as a rebellion--
Speaking righteously and rigorously, in turn he buckled the hat of rebellion.
The officials didn't have time to get angry, so they were shocked by what they said.
What does it mean to have troubled courtiers and kidnap the king? What does it mean that the prince is in danger and is ordered to set things right?
"It's the prince!"
"His Royal Highness!"
Sounds sounded one after another, and Prime Minister Zhang suddenly heard someone yelling behind him.
Immediately after the door was opened, Prime Minister Zhang stared at the front, thinking that he would see a sedan chair or something. After all, the prince had been ill for many days and could not ride forward.
As a result, several servants, a group of servants in Wenyuan Pavilion, and a lot of guards were looking forward to it, but only a token held high under the light of the fire.
Is that the talisman used by the prince to cultivate the power in secret?
The Zaifu hurriedly turned around and realized that there are still many people who know this token, some of them are their favorite protégés, they are the future pillars of talent, but they can only do errands in Wenyuan Pavilion at a younger age. The work of reading memorials.
The guards stationed in Wenyuan Pavilion suddenly split into two parts, and those people did not hesitate to put down their weapons.
It seems that regardless of foreign ministers and eunuchs, regardless of civil servants and generals, these people who originally followed the trend suddenly have a backbone.
The gazes of Jason Zhang and Jason Jiang collided, and each saw the look of horror on each other's face.
Prime Minister Jiang felt more relieved.
***
The sound of the artillery completely disintegrated the will of the Imperial Guards ambushing near Yiguangmen.
Everyone knows something has happened!
If the rebels have already captured the imperial city, what is the use of waiting here for Liu Dan? Even the deputy commander was shaken, the situation is unknown, they must preserve their strength and inquire into the situation clearly.
School Lieutenant Fei looked calm, but panicked in his heart.
For things like Gongbian, from Zaifu to pawns, there is nothing not to be afraid of.
I'm afraid of standing in the wrong team, afraid of missing the opportunity, afraid of dying in confusion in the chaos.
Never mind, it won’t be too late for Zhang Xiang to do the things that Zhang Xiang told him. If Zhang Xiang falls, he will definitely outweigh the gains!
"Commander, in my opinion, it is better to watch the changes..."
"Nonsense!"
The deputy commander was hesitant at first, but after Wei Xiaowei persuaded him, he immediately made up his mind to withdraw.
"The order goes on, put away the bow and crossbow, the whole army is on guard!"
Lieutenant Fei had to persuade again, and the deputy commander waved his hand and left.
He hadn't noticed the relieved expression of Wei Xiaowei at all--it's sometimes better to speak the irony than to be clear.
Especially when he knows that this Shangguan is small-minded and doesn't deal with him.
Let’s say that this group of imperial guards, like a pardon, ran towards the imperial city in two teams.
If the artillery was used by the imperial court to suppress the rebellion, it would be nice to say that they could make a contribution. If the imperial city was captured by the rebellion, they immediately rushed to the Gyeonggi camp.
In the darkness, Meng Qi and Moli sat on the eaves and watched them leave in a hurry.
"The moment they heard the gunfire, they lost their fighting spirit." Meng Qi thought thoughtfully.
How can a flesh and blood body fight against firearms?
The prince ordered people to bomb Zhengyangmen, even if the hit was all open, it was an extremely powerful shock.
Whether it is the officials or the Imperial Guards, when they see the messy gates of the imperial city, they will be scared a little.
Meng Qi put his hands under his head and lay down comfortably, muttering in his mouth: "It's really disturbing to dream."
"You haven't slept again."
"I should be in the bedroom, having nothing to do with the doctor." Meng Qi turned his head and suggested enthusiastically, "It's not too late to go now."
Moli: "..."
He finally realized that there was something wrong with the **** novel with the illustrations of the Spring Palace with someone in the middle of the night.
Meng Qi is teasing him?
Mo Lei shook his head and looked at the script. Wouldn't it be more effective to appreciate the Jinbi landscape painting of Shangyun Mountain?
"Doctor doesn't like it?" Meng Qi smiled.
"No, there is no time to watch."
Mo Lei suddenly felt that Meng Qi's implicitly disappointed expression was very interesting, like peeling a sugar-fried chestnut, holding it around in front of the fat mouse's eyes, and then stuffing it into his own mouth.
No, this is a bit bad.
Mo Lei thinks of the picture, the black eyes of gerbils, and reflects on the gentleman who does not take the love of others. How can he do such a "prostitution" thing?
Wait, tease?
Mo Li paused. It turned out that this was a tribute to Meng Qi, and it might be worth a try.
Meng Qi has no idea what kind of molesting the gerbils will face in the future. He asks in confusion: "There is not enough time? What can we do? Depending on the situation, the prince should be able to grasp the situation."
Mo Li said indifferently: "Naturally, he pressed the second prince and the sixth prince to prevent them from running out."
"...and then sell it to the prince for money?" Meng Qi took it naturally.
The prince is in power, so naturally the two princes don't have to be desperate.
The prince is much richer than Liu Dan.
Meng Qi had to settle accounts, after all, he and the doctor had to go to Feihe Mountain.
When the two slowly returned to Liu Mansion, they suddenly found that the whole mansion was awake.
Liu Dan, who had planned to talk about everything after sleeping, looked complicated and sat in the flower hall watching them come in.
"All the ambushes outside have been withdrawn. If the general wants to leave Taijing, this is a good opportunity." Meng Qi said casually.
Liu Dan stiffened for a moment, and said dryly: "The National Teacher is great, I really don't know what to do..."
"Stop!"
Meng Qi stopped Liu Dan immediately, and at the grateful eyes, Meng Qi was uncomfortable.
"These are coincidences!"
Meng Qi is not so brazen enough to take all the credit to himself, he casually said, "They were scared away by the prince’s military strength. There is a Lieutenant named Fei in the Imperial Guard. He may know who it is. I want to start with you."
