With her superb medical skills, Lu Ruxue not only won the praise of her in-laws, but even concealed the two imperial doctors sent by the emperor. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Yu, the political envoy of Beiping, and Zhang Xin, Xie Gui, the adjutant of the envoy of Beiping, wrote to the emperor. Although the emperor believed in the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, he was dissatisfied with the seriously ill King Yan for his refusal to hand over his military power.

Taking the opportunity of the implementation of the new policy, the military assistants and companions were added to the palaces of the feudal princes, so that the scholars who were loyal to the emperor could enter the palace, and the young princes who were taught and assisted were not allowed to participate in civil and military affairs. Hyped up the difference between monarchs and ministers, and the way of ministers.

This decree is contrary to the "Ancestral Training" promulgated by Emperor Gaozu at the beginning, which means that the emperor personally raised troops for King Yan and sent a suitable excuse.

In June of the first year of Jianwen, three months after King Yan became ill. The emperor sent the imperial physician to live in the palace of King Yan in Beiping, and secretly issued an order to Zhang Xin, who commanded the envoy in Beiping, to secretly arrest King Yan.

King Yan is summoning the officials and staff of the palace and other government officials and staff members to discuss in the middle hall. The head of the palace whispered, and Beiping commanded the envoy Zhang Xin to ask to see the prince.

ordered to take people to the side hall, leaving only the third son Mu Xuanyang by his side, avoiding the ministers in the palace.

"My father has always called himself sick, Lord Zhang is here, I'm afraid he has received the emperor's will?" Mu Xuanyang didn't understand, his father had been pretending to be sick, why he summoned Zhang Xin in a grand manner, this is not equivalent to giving the emperor a handle.

"It's time to let you know. Before Prince Yiwen died, King Yan never thought that he would really wait for such a day to raise troops and raise troops to become emperor, looking at his son with a straight face.

This letter was originally the old ministry of the father, and the father was worried that the Emperor Gaozu was too suspicious, so at the beginning of the crown, he left it in the capital to make a response. ”

"What?" Mu Xuanyang knew that his father had coveted the throne very early, so there were countless secret guards in the capital, and even many ministers and vassal kings had hidden guards in their mansions. But I didn't know that even this letter was a pawn of my father.

King Yan patted his son on the shoulder, he had planned for many years, and it was finally time to tell the world. When his son calmed down a little, he ordered someone to send a letter to greet him.

"Zhang Xin visited the prince and met the third young master. Zhang Xin entered the door and made a big salute, and then got up to reply.

This is the emperor's secret decree, ordering Weichen to secretly arrest the prince and several young masters within three days of receiving the order, confiscate the military power, and escort them to the capital to await trial together with the royal daughters. ”

Zhang Xin inherited the emperor's secret decree, and Mu Xuanyang saw it, so he believed that this person was indeed his father's cronies. I can't help but feel a little more admiration for my father.

Weichen was worried that this secret decree was only afraid that the emperor would not only give it to the ministers, so he didn't dare to make a mistake for a moment, so he took the risk to ask for a meeting. ”

Zhang Xin was very clear about his position, in order to avoid suspicion from Gaozu and the new emperor, he only secretly contacted King Yan for so many years, and never entered the palace to ask for a meeting.

After all, King Yan can install cronies in the capital, and he knows that the emperor will not buy the people of King Yan's Mansion for his own use. The "Infernal Affairs" power-grabbers are playing with a heartbeat.

"It's okay, it's time for a showdown with the emperor. However, Zhang Yu, the political envoy of Beiping, is a trouble, and it is better to find a way to get rid of it. ”

The three of them discussed secretly for an hour, and then Zhang Xin was ordered to leave.

At the end of the same day, Zhang Yu, the political envoy of Beiping, and other court officials in Beiping received a post from Mu Xuanyang, the third son of King Yan. King Yan has been ill for a long time, and finally improves, obeying the king's orders, please invite all the adults to drink in the palace.

Zhang Yu came to consult with Zhang Xin, who received the secret order, and wanted to take this opportunity to besiege the palace of King Yan and capture King Yan to surrender his military power.

Zhang Xin naturally supported it strongly, and the deployment of troops was already in place early the next morning. Waiting for Zhang Yu and other court officials, according to the agreement, before waiting for a toast as a letter, he was countered by Zhang Xin's cronies and palace guards.

"Zhang Xin, you villain, dare to betray the emperor, help the traitor and the rebel, and do such a rebellious act. Aren't you afraid of God's damnation?"

Zhang Hao didn't understand why the emperor trusted Zhang Xin so much, why did he rebel angrily and scolded the crown, ignoring the suppression on his body, wanting to rush to Zhang Xin and fight with him.

"Lord Zhang's words are really not reckless. Long before the prince was crowned king, he had the grace of knowing Zhang Xin. His heart has long belonged, so how can he be rebellious. ”

Each seeks its own government, each is its master, and it is at ease to become a king or defeat a meritorious person, and no one can say that Zhang Xin is wrong in doing so. At least King Yan did not fall for a day, and Zhang Xin was an auxiliary hero.

"You, the emperor will not let you go. Zhang Xin, you just wait for the autumn decision to be full of cuts. Zhang Hao was restrained and couldn't move, so he could only speak unwillingly.

Filial piety comes first, and loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve. But it's just a difference of opinion, and who can say that the other side is necessarily right. After a hundred years, there is no dust, and the merits are judged by others.

And Zhang Xin has already secretly sent a letter to his family in Beijing, as for some sacrifices, it is inevitable.

disdainful of arguing with Zhang Hao for a while, there are still a large number of soldiers and generals waiting outside the palace. Zhang Xin held the talisman in his hand and came forward to persuade him to surrender.

Xie Gui, who was also the adjutant of the Beiping Command Department, was not convinced, claiming that King Yan was rebellious and Zhang Xin was disloyal, and was killed by Zhang Xin's troops.

The rest of the generals surrendered. Zhang Xin and the ministers of the palace came forward and persuaded them to surrender, and the court officials at all levels in Beiping Mansion lived.

Mu Xuanyang took the opportunity to lead the palace guards to command Wei Ming and Zhu Yu, and led his troops to capture the nine gates of Beiping by night. Because of the officers and soldiers of the nine gates, the dragons were leaderless, and they quickly surrendered.

King Sui Yan took Beiping as his base, followed the ancestral teachings, and in the name of the country's "Jingjing, Qing Jun's side", he bewildered the "traitorous ministers" Qi Tai and other close ministers of the emperor, and swore to go on the expedition.

It was the first day of July in the first year of Jianwen, and Lu Ruxue was pregnant for nine months, and she was about to give birth in less than half a month.

Although she knew that this day would come sooner or later, if she really came, she would inevitably be afraid.

Listening to the sound of killing inside and outside the city gate, the air was filled with blood, even if he was a human being in two lives, he had never experienced such a thrilling adventure.

The battle report flew to the palace like snowflakes. Even the inner courtyard has received a lot of news. Princess Yan led her young concubines, concubines, and daughters-in-law to stay in the inner courtyard.

"The third daughter-in-law is about to give birth, so don't sit here and go back to rest early. ”

Lu Ruxue didn't want to leave, Mu Xuanyang led his troops to capture the city gate, although the good news was frequent, but he did not return for a long time. She couldn't help but worry.

But her mother-in-law was also kind, and she couldn't refuse, so she had to get up and quit.

"Caiyue, ordered Lu Feng to take the third young master's token and rush to the city gate to inquire about the news. Remind him to be careful in everything and not to go to war. ”

Men are born hot-blooded, and men who know martial arts are even more belligerent. Lu Feng also asked Cai Yue to pass the message to the third young lady, wanting to follow the third young master to participate in the war.

But Lu Ruxue disagreed, firstly, for the sake of Caiyue, the sword had no eyes, and she didn't want her to be widowed at a young age, and secondly, the time had not come.
