Chapter 5 Careful Planning

Yu Ruyan glanced at everyone and said, "If the crown prince is under house arrest by the demon queen, if we want to get in touch with him, we will have to break through the palace bans, and it will be difficult for us to ascend to the sky in our current situation." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut if the crown prince is moved to the palace of Yongcheng, the demon queen will not put a large number of troops in the palace. One is that the prince is young, and the other is that she will think that we are focusing on the capital. ”

Zhao Xuanfang nodded and said: "Taifu is reasonable, as long as the prince is in Yongcheng, or on the way to Yongcheng, we want to rescue or get in touch with him, it will be much easier." ”

Xiao Feiqing asked, "Then we have to rush to Yongcheng now?" ”

Yu Ruyan shook her head and said, "General Yang's words just now are not unreasonable, we didn't have any preparations, and rushed back stubbornly, wouldn't we throw ourselves into the net?" ”

Zhao Xuanfang nodded and said, "Taifu is reasonable, we really have to plan." ”

Yu Ruyan continued: "Not only that, but we also have to think about everything, and strive to bring down the demon queen and the traitor at one time, and support the crown prince to ascend the throne." ”

Yang Chuting said: "It will take a day and a half to get rid of Yongcheng here, and there are still three days left before the first seven days of the first emperor are full, do we only have one and a half days left to arrange?" ”

Yu Ruyan shook her head and said, "No, we still have to rush back to the capital from Yongcheng, it will take a day, and there are only a few hours left for us to plan." ”

"What is Taifu's plan?" Xiao Feiqing asked.

Yu Ruyan thought for a while and said, "In this way, Uncle Zhongzhong, you can carefully tell me about the current situation of the two sides, including the Jingzhong, the palace, the clansmen, and the ministers." ”

Zhao Xuanfang said: "I can only tell you what I know." After the death of the first emperor, the palace was quickly controlled by the queen, they must have premeditated, and it may be that the rumors of the death of the first emperor are not groundless. But what the queen can mobilize is the Imperial Forest Army to defend the palace, but the secret guards who directly defend the emperor are hidden in the Royal Forest Army, and they only obey the emperor's orders, and the list of secret guards is only known to the emperor, and the queen does not know. So, the dark guard is not from the queen's side. Secondly, many of General Yang's old subordinates are also on our side. And some of my and Lord Xiao's cronies can also be used by us. Many people on the clan side suddenly got the news of the death of the former emperor, and they should not know the inside story about the queen's edict, but it is not clear how many people believe that the queen is our enemy. Before we left Beijing, Lord Xiao had already contacted many courtiers, and many of them were willing to support the crown prince. However, Prime Minister Yu Zuo has been in power in the DPRK and China for a long time, and at least ordinary officials are attached to him, which is very unfavorable to us. ”

Xiao Feiqing added: "And after we leave Beijing, I don't know if any officials will be controlled by them, or will be coerced and lured to turn against each other." ”

Yang Chuting sighed: "It seems that the current situation is very unfavorable to us. Our combined forces are less than 10,000 people, they have already controlled the palace and the capital, and we can only find a breakthrough in Yongcheng. ”

Yu Ruyan said: "Lord Xiao, in a while, among the clan relatives and courtiers, before you left, the people on our side opened a list and handed it to General Yang and Uncle Zhong. Please send your relatives back to Beijing as soon as possible, contact these people secretly, and tell them that we will support the crown prince's accession to the throne. You've been away for a few days, and you're afraid that your mansion has been monitored, so it's better to be careful. ”

Xiao Feiqing nodded and said, "Okay, I'll write it right away." ”

Yu Ruyan continued: "In addition, arrange for a shrewd person to go to Yongcheng and find a way to get in touch with the crown prince. By the way, General Yang, I see that your deputy general Yang Jun is handsome and delicate, and see if he can be wronged and disguise himself as a maid to sneak into the palace of Yongcheng. Bring a message to the prince and say that we will do our best to save him. ”

Yang Chuting said: "Okay, I'll arrange people first." ”

"Don't be busy, there's one more thing." Yu Ruyan said, "Those courtiers and clan relatives have some cronies. If these people can also be used by us, I believe that they are also a great force. I also hope that General Yang's people can act expediently and persuade these people to fight the traitors to the end. If the persuasion is successful, let them stay in the capital, and secretly spread the remarks that the queen is a traitor and a demon queen, killing the king and usurping the throne, and stirring up public anger among the people. The night before the puppet new emperor supported by the demon queen and others ascended the throne, they all went to the training ground of General Yang in the capital to wait, waiting for the final order. ”

Yang Chuting nodded and said, "I know." ”

Xiao Feiqing thought for a while and asked, "Taifu, are you trying to force the palace?" But at present, our troops are still insufficient. ”

Yu Ruyan nodded and said, "I naturally know this, so we have to mobilize the Han Cheng Army and the Acropolis Army to assist." ”

Yang Chuting came back after arranging, and as soon as he entered the tent, he heard Yu Ruyan's words, and immediately retorted: "Taifu, the army defending the city has no talismans, but I am afraid that it will not be mobilized!" ”

Xiao Feiqing added: "And the first emperor died, and the crown prince was imprisoned suddenly, I am afraid that the talisman will also fall into the hands of the demon queen." ”

Yu Ruyan said: "I naturally know this. As far as I know, the generals of the defending army of these two cities were all those who fought the world with the emperor back then, if they knew that the emperor was framed and the prince was imprisoned, what if they didn't have a military talisman? Is there anything more urgent now than to save the situation? If we win, after the crown prince ascends the throne, he will not blame them for sending troops without a military talisman, but will reward them for their meritorious service. If we lose, will they be able to get out of it without being involved? ”

Zhao Xuanfang nodded and said, "Taifu is reasonable. For us this time, it's all a desperate bet, and it's a fight to succeed or not. ”

Yu Ruyan said: "So General Yang, please go to Hancheng to find the general who guards the city, and I will go to the Acropolis to find it." Loyal uncle, Lord Xiao, you will leave for Yongcheng immediately. ”

Zhao Xuanfang said: "Lord Xiao has an injury, so I'd better take the first step." ”

Xiao Feiqing put forward a different opinion: "Taifu, I should accompany you to the Acropolis, and there will be a response on the way." ”

Yu Ruyan was a little hesitant, after all, Xiao Feiqing's injuries had not healed yet.

Zhao Xuanfang and Yang Chuting agreed with Xiao Feiqing's proposal: "Taifu, what Lord Xiao said is right, you are a woman, you can't be left unattended on the road." Let's not dwell on this, let's prepare quickly. ”

"Good. General Yang, loyal uncle, be careful all the way. Yu Ruyan said.

"Taifu be careful all the way."

After saying goodbye, everyone didn't care about resting, and immediately brought a few entourages to protect them, and quickly whipped up their horses and went separately.

"Lord Xiao, if your body can't support it, you must tell me!" Yu Ruyan shouted on the horse.

"Don't worry, Taifu!" Xiao Feiqing said, "People who practice martial arts, this injury is nothing. ”

Yu Ruyan asked casually: "Lord Xiao, I have a question, I am a woman, I have no military power, no martial arts, why did the three of you come to me?" ”

Xiao Feiqing said: "The emperor has a great kindness to the Taifu, and the Taifu and the prince have a seven-year master-apprentice relationship, if he knows that the court has suffered great changes, he will not ignore it." Taifu is very sensitive, and he will definitely be able to help me wait. So after the incident, Uncle Zhong immediately united me to find the Taifu. ”

"How do you know I'm in the embroidery room?" Yu Ruyan asked.

Xiao Feiqing said: "It was the loyal uncle who once heard the emperor mention it. ”

Yu Ruyan was a little puzzled, "However, I resigned at the time and didn't tell the emperor where I went." ”

Xiao Feiqing said: "I think the emperor has been sending people to secretly visit you, which also makes the chess pieces so quickly for us to find you so quickly today." ”

The two rode all the way to the Acropolis. By the time we arrived at the Acropolis, it was late at night and the gates were closed.

"Listen to the defenders, open the door quickly!" Xiao Feiqing shouted, "We have something important to see General Fang Jinfang, the general of the Acropolis defenders!" ”

The soldiers on the tower shouted, "Daring, who are you?" Don't you see that the gates have been unlocked? ”

Although Xiao Feiqing is a civil official, because he has practiced martial arts, his voice is like a bell, and he shouted: "Bold, this official is a household servant, and this is the prince of the dynasty." Now that the capital is in turmoil, the two of us have 100,000 urgent things to ask to see General Fang! You wait for the report to be reported quickly, if something big happens, their whole family can't afford to lose their lives! ”

When the soldiers defending the city heard that it was the household servant and the Taifu coming, they were worried that something really happened, so they quickly ordered someone to report it. After a while, General Fang Jin hurried over from the mansion and opened the city gate to welcome the two into the city.

There is a small meeting hall on the city tower, Fang Jin heard the report of the soldiers guarding the city gate, and he was originally suspicious, but when he saw the two waiting outside the city gate, his heart sank, and he only said that it was not good.

"Taifu hasn't been seen since he resigned three years ago, how are you doing in the past few years?" Fang Jin asked.

Yu Ruyan nodded and said, "I'm okay, general, we came to you this time, it's really because the capital is already in chaos!" ”

Fang Jindao: "I probably know something, now that the emperor has died, the queen mother said that the emperor left an edict before his death, and changed the three princes to the crown prince, so the prince moved to the palace in Yongcheng." ”

Xiao Feiqing said: "The first emperor died suddenly, and the prince was never abolished, everything is a conspiracy of the demon queen." She conspired with Yu Wei, the left minister, to pretend to write an edict, and wanted to steal the country and usurp the throne. ”

Fang Jin slammed his fist on the table and said angrily, "This slut is so bold!" ”

Yu Ruyan stood up and said, "General Fang, you have followed the emperor to fight the world, can you watch all this and ignore it?" Zheng'er has been placed under house arrest by them, and the capital has been controlled, General Fang, the troops we can gather now are you and General Wu's Hancheng army. ”

Xiao Feiqing said: "That's right, you can't mobilize the army without a talisman, but the prince is imprisoned, and the talisman has fallen into the hands of the demon queen." General Fang, you and General Wu have both followed the birth and death of the former emperor. We can only advise you not to use the military talismans, mobilize the army, and assist the crown prince to ascend the throne. ”

Fang Jin couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and said, "However, if there is no talisman......

"It's all or nothing!" Yu Ruyan said, "My lord, the situation is urgent, and I hope that the adults will deal with it appropriately and make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Fang Jin thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, Ben General...... Listen to the two adults. ”

There are less than three days to go!
