Chapter 381: Opportunity
After Zhou Kang was ordered by Lu Guohua, he closed the city gate and searched for Wang Xin, Chen Chun, Song Changming and the guards they brought, but to no avail. So I gritted my teeth and simply reversed. Anyway, it's all going to be reversed, but it's too late to be reversed, and while the court is not prepared, take the court off guard.
He didn't know that it was the Luoyang prefect who was not prepared.
Zhou Kang used Lu Guohua's strategy to feast guests in the palace of the king of Chu under the pretext of the concubine's birthday. During the banquet, the guards of the palace of the king of Chu suddenly surrounded the hall of the banquet, and Zhou Kang showed the edict given to him by Emperor An on the spot, saying that when Emperor An was captured by Zeng Xian, he wrote an edict to him, saying that if he had any accidents, Zhou Kang would succeed him.
Last year, Zhou Kang sneaked to the capital privately, and halfway through he heard that Zeng had led Tatar soldiers to surround the capital, so he ran back. At this time, he was also said to rush to the capital after receiving the edict, but unfortunately halfway through, he heard that Zhou Heng had succeeded to the throne, so he had to return to Luoyang.
Now, Zhou Heng is "perverse", and he has to stand up and take on the important task of appeasing the people of Limin.
The gentry of Luoyang listened to him tell this story as if they were listening to a book from heaven, and looked at each other. Everyone knows that this prince is not in tune, but he didn't expect it to be so bad.
Zhou Kang then asked the gentry to choose to stand in line, those who were willing to submit to him stood on the left, and those who wanted to be Zhou Heng's loyal ministers, and those who fought to the end with him stood on the right.
After a moment of silence, most people stood to the right. Although standing on the right side is very likely to be killed by Zhou Kang on the spot, they are still unwilling to follow Zhou Kang to rebel and become a chaotic minister and thief.
Zhou Kang was furious. After killing a few people to demonstrate, he still couldn't make the people standing on the right change their minds, and in a fit of rage, he killed all these people.
This time, almost all the famous families, celebrities, gentry, and leading figures who participated in the banquet were spared. After Zhou Kang killed these people, he immediately sent troops and captured Luoyang City.
There were only a few servants in Luoyang, and when they saw Zhou Kang's tens of thousands of troops coming violently, they were frightened and at a loss. How had they ever seen such a battle? He had already thrown away the water and fire stick in his hand and squatted to the side with his head in his hands.
After Zhou Kang occupied the prefect's yamen. Immediately send troops to take control of the city gates. Less than two hours. Luoyang is in his hands.
Fortunately, Feng Shiqi, the prefect of Luoyang, escaped because he went out of the city to inspect the farmland and was not in Luoyang City. The next morning, I heard that Luoyang was in shock. Busy sending henchmen to go into the city to check. I changed into civilian clothes. Hide in a farmer's house.
Afternoon. Chang Sui took advantage of the unpreparedness and tore up Zhou Kang's essay and came back. Feng Shiqi looked at it and was shocked. Immediately reported to the neighboring prefectures and counties, and then wrote a memo, and sent it to the capital in an expedited manner of 600 miles.
Zhou Heng received a recital and sent a message to the civil and military officials, and the officials behind him had not finished reading it, and several cabinet scholars standing at the head of the class had already offered advice to quell the rebellion, and then a war of words broke out over who was sent to be the supervising army, and then a big fight.
It's rare to have someone who doesn't know whether to live or die and dare to rebel, it's really a once-in-a-century opportunity, I didn't seize such an opportunity, I'm sorry for my grandparents, I'm sorry for my wife and children, and I'm sorry for myself.
Since the founding of Taizu, the military power of the commander with the army is too heavy, and every time he goes out, the military general must be the commander and the eunuch will be the supervisor. Wang Zhe was in charge of the entire army as a supervisor, and then lost 200,000 elites in Sheephorn Fort.
They have no objection to which general will lead the troops, but who will supervise the army is debatable. They held their stomachs one by one, and they did not avoid their relatives, so they recommended themselves in the morning.
What the? Historically, the army has been supervised by eunuchs? The consequence of the eunuch supervising the army is to bury the emperor and 200,000 elites, and now the eunuch will supervise the army, do you still want to bury another 200,000 troops?
I don't know who just mentioned the rules of this dynasty, and was immediately drowned in the saliva of several cabinet officials. Gu Wei even said that he was a traitor with the intention of betraying the country, so frightened that the official retracted his neck and did not dare to speak again.
Pearl told Cui Keyin about the scene that happened in the Chongzheng Palace, and said, "Niangniang, you don't know yet, Lord Tang's wife Da Jiang, Lord Cui's wife, your eldest aunt, and Lord Gu's wife Shi are all asking to see you at the palace gate." I heard that they also quarreled. ”
It was only two hours since Zhou Kang's rebellion came to Beijing, but these people in the center of power already knew about it.
Cui Keyin was served and washed by the palace people, and said, "What are they going to do?" ”
Aren't the eldest aunt and aunt sisters, why do they turn their faces and deny people when it comes to matters involving their husbands?
Pearl said quickly: "The eldest lady originally came to serve the eldest lord, and when she arrived at the gate of the palace, Mrs. Shi was already waiting there. Mrs. Shi greeted her first, and then went to the eldest lady's car to talk. Within half an hour of Mrs. Shi getting into the car, the two quarreled. The eldest lady couldn't say that Shi Shi, she was so angry. Then Mrs. Da Jiang arrived, so she ......" She showed a smile on her face: "Mrs. Da Jiang first helped Mrs. Da Jiang and Mrs. Shi quarrel, and then somehow, the two sisters Da Madam and Mrs. Da Jiang quarreled again. Alas, it's messy anyway. ”
She said so much at length, Cui Keyin not only washed, but also combed her hair by Amber and had breakfast. Breakfast was finished, and the pearls were finished. She talked and laughed, and her voice was crisp, like a storyteller.
Cui Keyin said: "How do you go back to the eldest aunt?" ”
Others are still free, but the eldest aunt has not recovered. The eldest uncle is really true, no matter how much he wants to fight for this credit, he can't let the eldest aunt enter the palace to ask to see her. Her arrow wound has not healed, and she can't sit in a sedan chair in the palace as usual, can she walk on the road from the palace gate to Anhua Palace?
Pearl said: "Sister Lu Ying personally went to the palace gate to talk to the eldest lady, and she hasn't come back yet." Presumably, the eldest lady pulled her, hoping that she could help to move the mother. ”
Everyone said that the emperor was afraid of his wife like a tiger, so I don't know when the courtiers had something to do, as long as they didn't worry about Zhou Heng, they would definitely try their best to find Cui Keyin here. As long as Cui Keyin nodded, Zhou Heng would definitely not object.
It seems that they have already discussed, as long as they receive the news of Zhou Kang's rebellion, they will come to Cui Keyin immediately.
Cui Keyin didn't want to wade into this troubled water, and said, "Send some bird's nest soup to your aunt and persuade her to go back." Don't say that Hongu is getting up. ”
Pearl nodded again and again, and said, "The slave understands." Let's do it. ”
Cui Keyin nodded and went to attend to her business. The wedding day of Princess Yongning is getting closer and closer, and everything is organized by the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette, but as the queen, she also has to look at the gift list, add a few more items as appropriate, and the list of guests for the banquet of the day, the dishes of the banquet, all kinds of dishes, and she has to be busy.
As soon as she asked people to present the gift list, Princess Yongning came. The day of marriage is getting closer and closer, and her complexion is getting better and better, like a dead tree in spring with new branches. (To be continued.) )
