Chapter 252: Changing Heavens
Xie Junyan's somewhat gentle gaze gradually became cold, and Jian Wushuang appeared without warning.
She threw out the power in her hand, shaking me away. Jian Wushuang said indifferently, it's very simple, this Xie girl has a gentle temperament, and she doesn't say a lot of words in her heart, but I can't use her body in vain as a sister, I helped her Zhang a family affair, and Xu Ruonan happened to be one of the obstacles. It just so happened that she came to beg me to save you and decided to ask her to do something for me.
I felt a little angry in my heart, but I didn't dare to attack in front of Jian Wushuang. Feng Wanli can be repelled by her move, let alone me. I took a hard breath, calmed down, and calmly asked, what is the matter?
Jian Wushuang said let her help me kill someone.
Who?
Jian Wushuang smiled, the Kaitai Emperor of the year, oh, no, it should be Zhu Wuneng, the son of heaven in the current court!
I was shocked in my heart, Zhu Wuneng was really restored!
He led Zhu Runze to Neizhuang step by step through layers of means, and in less than a day when Lu Zhongyuan defected and Zhu Runze was trapped in Neizhuang, Zhu Wuneng regained the emperor's throne.
Jian Wushuang asked Xu Ruonan to assassinate Zhu Wuneng? If this is the case, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, as long as it participates in this kind of political battle, it will be difficult for the Netherworld God Sect to gain a foothold in the Central Plains. However, Xu Ruonan is an extremely rational person, calm and calm in the face of things, this kind of thing is not like her style.
I said to Jian Wushuang, how is it possible, Xu Ruonan is by no means a person who is at the mercy of others.
Jian Wushuang smiled meaningfully, she sighed, Su is still there, you still don't understand women.
I looked at Zhang Youqian and Lin Hongyi, the two nodded, and Lin Hongyi said, Two hours ago, Sect Master Xu had already entered the capital.
I was immediately anxious, her martial arts are strong, but she entered the palace to assassinate the emperor with the power of one person, her courage is commendable, but her behavior is stupid. In Neizhuang, veterans of the rivers and lakes such as Zhao Xin and Wang Heng are no match for several rounds of sprints by thousands of forbidden troops, not to mention that she is a female streamer?
I slowly got up and walked towards the capital.
Zhang Youqian stopped and said, where are you going?
I said go stop her from doing something stupid.
Zhang Youqian sighed, Lao Su, you may not know that two hours ago, the entire capital was locked under martial law, and not even a fly could fly in. Now that the emperor has regained the treasure, Lu Bing, the Jinyi Guard, took the lead in surrendering, Yulin and the two guards of the flag bearer also followed, and Jin Wuwei and Dengwenyuan were baptized in blood, and now the capital is in chaos.
I said four words: it's man-made.
Zhang Youqian saw that the dissuasion was ineffective, so he had to say, okay, then I'll go with you.
I said, actually, you don't have to accompany me to die.
Zhang Youqian waved his hand, I'm going to send you to death by yourself, Lao Tzu hasn't lived enough for you. I went with you to prevent your life from being taken away, and you still owe me 20,000 pieces of silver.
Although he said this, I was a little inexplicably moved in my heart, so I said, wait for this matter, I will invite you to drink!
Zhang Youqian said Yo, you are such a slamming person, you even invite guests to drink, then I want to drink Moutai. I nodded, no problem, two brothers in one world, you save money for me is a slap in the face, little prince of Moutai, take care of it!
I knew it wasn't going to happen.
Lin Hongyi said to Zhang Youqian, you can't go! Zhang Youqian asked, why? Lin Hongyi said that the army was in chaos and it was too dangerous. Zhang Youqian smiled, the girl in red also knows how to care about my safety, don't worry, after this incident, I will marry you.
Lin Hongyi blushed and said, who said that I was going to marry you?
Jian Wushuang didn't stop it, but just looked at the east thoughtfully.
It was an eventful time in the capital.
On the night that Lu Zhongyuan defected and trapped Zhu Runze, in the Donghua Palace of the Forbidden City, Zhu Wuneng, who had already been reduced to a prisoner, launched a coup d'état under the escort of Liu Fangzhong, the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, Li Yutang, the commander of the Yulin Army, Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and a small group of Jianghu masters, and recaptured the Forbidden City.
At that time, the 3,000 forbidden troops in the palace entered the inner village, and only a few forces of the standard-bearer, Jin Wuwei and Dengwenyuan were washed in blood that night. It is said that there was a river of blood flowing inside the palace, and even the water under the Jinshui Bridge was dyed blood-red.
The change of the throne means the change of power. This is bound to lead to a series of power struggles and bloodshed. After Zhu Wuneng recaptured the Forbidden City, he encountered difficulties in ascending the throne, and as early as Chinese New Year's Eve, the jade seal of the country disappeared.
The DPRK and China are divided into three major factions.
One was the royalist faction led by Yang Menglong, the first assistant to the cabinet, and after Zhu Wuneng regained the throne, Yang Menglong was one of the first people to kneel.
When Zhu Runze ascended the throne, he purged the power of the former emperor, and at that time he was just a small Hanlin who edited history books, and he had not yet been able to participate in the core of this power. After the Great Purge, there were vacancies in several positions in the DPRK and China, which gave Yang Menglong the opportunity, and it took him 30 years to become the first assistant of the cabinet. But in the past few years, Zhu Runze has become more and more dissatisfied with him, and began to support Xu Yufu to sing against him, and even rumored that he was ready to move him. So when Zhu Runze recaptured the Forbidden City, he first went to surrender.
The other is the wall-riding faction headed by Xu Yufu, the second assistant. Xu Yufu entered the cabinet later than Yang Menglong, and the ranking is quite low, he has been pressed by Yang Menglong all these years, but since the empty seal case two years ago, Zhu Runze suddenly began to support Xu Yufu, and his ranking in the cabinet has soared, second only to Yang Menglong, the first assistant.
With Zhu Runze's acquiescence, the Xu family began to target the Yang family everywhere, and when Yang Menglong went to the emperor to complain because of these trivial matters, Zhu Runze reconciled the mud from it. Therefore, Xu Yufu has a very open view of the struggle between the royal family, no matter who wins or loses, after all, it is the world surnamed Zhu.
To whom is it not to be a courtier?
The other is the upstart faction led by Xie Shiting. Although the Xie family is quite famous in Jinling and one of the four great families in the rivers and lakes, it still belongs to the upstart forces in the capital. The power and status of the Xie family all come from Zhu Runze's favor and reuse, so Xie Shiting is the one who is closest to Zhu Runze. If Zhu Runze falls, the Xie family is bound to collapse.
Fortunately, Xie Shiting still has an identity, the leader of the Jiangnan literary circle, one of the Xie of Northern Lunan, Zhu Wuneng In order to win the hearts of the world's scholars, even if he is dissatisfied with the Xie family, he does not dare to be too blatant.
After Zhu Wuneng ascended the throne, he encountered another problem, that is, he wrote an edict to announce the throne to the world. The leader of the literary world, Lu Guanzhong of Beilu was bedridden after returning from Jiangnan, and he had not dealt with business for a long time, so Zhu Wuneng found Xie Shiting.
This decision is not unscrupulous.
Xie Shiting is an upstart force and an opinion leader, and he asked Xie Shiting to write this edict on the throne, one is to show the emperor's grace and block the mouths of the world's scholars, and the other is to release a signal to the world through this move, even if you are Zhu Runze's person, as long as you are willing to submit, I can still reuse it.
But what Zhu Wuneng didn't expect was that after giving Xie Shiting under the will of the proposed edict, Xie Shiting refused to go to court for two consecutive days because he was sick. This made Zhu Wuneng very angry, but at this juncture, the political situation in the DPRK and China was turbulent, and he did not dare to openly criticize the Xie family.
Along the way, the two of us chatted while walking, and I asked, where is Zhu Runze now, didn't Guo Xiaoyao take him to escape?
That's exactly the problem, Mr. Zhang said. Zhu Runze did not show up after coming out of Neizhuang. However, according to the information I received, the Xiao family of Hejian Mansion and the Cui family of Hedong have gathered 100,000 soldiers and horses, and they are rushing to the capital under the slogan of King Qin.
Pingxi Hou Xiao's family and Dingbei Hou Cui's family are the two major strengths of the Ming Dynasty military, especially the Xiao family where Xiao Dingyuan is located, his father Xiao Qianliang and grandfather Xiao Ni, thirty years ago in the battle of Xiliang made great achievements, almost let Xiliang destroy the country.
However, Xiao Jiagong was the master, and Zhu Wuneng found a reason to take away the military power. After Zhu Runze ascended to the throne, he urgently needed to stabilize the relationship between the government and the opposition and reactivate the Xiao family. During Zhu Runze's 30 years of reign, the Xiao family has always been the most powerful family in the military.
When I thought about the whole thing, I found a loophole.
It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Xie Donglai is Xie Shiting's brother-in-law. For this, at Xie Shiting's birthday banquet, he did not admit it, nor did he deny it. But what is Xie Donglai's motive for stealing the jade seal of the country? If he is Zhu Wuneng's person, it is understandable, but he is obviously Zhu Runze's person, which makes people feel confused.
