At the foot of Wu Mountain in Lin'an City, along both sides of the Royal Street, on the right is the Fuwang Mansion, Deshou Palace, Taiyi Bureau, etc. On the left is Baomin Fang and Qinghe Fang, the small river flows outside the city along the street, and there is a stone bridge in one of them, called "Wangxian Bridge".

In the evening, a group of people rode slowly across the bridge and crossed the royal street towards Qinghefang. The first one was burly, with a square face and sword eyebrows, dressed as a martial artist, and his entourage were all forbidden army sergeants, although they were all riding horses, their speed was not fast.

A big mansion in Qinghefang, only the words "Chen Mansion" are written on the horizontal plaque on the door, and the house is deep, I don't know how heavy. In the inner courtyard, there was a middle-aged man standing, with a long beard and a graceful demeanor, dressed in ordinary clothes, and it was difficult to hide his luxury.

"Chen Fu, the people are almost here, are your subordinates ready?" The middle-aged man looked in the direction of the gate with his back hand and said in a deep voice.

"Yu Xianggong, it is estimated that it is almost there, there are 100 people in the left and right wings of the front yard, and there are 50 crossbowmen on the roof, and the custody is foolproof." A subordinate replied respectfully.

"Well, don't let go of any of them, after the matter is completed, they will be rewarded, sue sù Zhang Yan, take over the camp, and ensure that he is the commander in front of the palace." The subordinate bowed and exited the door, and the middle-aged man raised his eyes to look at the sky, his brows gradually relaxed, and his eyes became resolute.

The group of people on horseback had already arrived at the Chen Mansion, leaving two sergeants to take care of the horses outside the palace gate, and the square-faced man entered from the middle gate with seven or eight retinues, and under the leadership of the subordinate Chen Fu, he bypassed the Zhaobi and entered the front yard.

"Commander, please wait here, my father-in-law will be here soon." Chen Fu gave a deep salute, the man didn't care much, waved his hand to let him go, Chen Fu retreated to the courtyard gate, and closed the door with his backhand.

"Do it!" Chen Fu leaned his back against the courtyard gate and suddenly shouted loudly, and the man and his entourage were stunned when they heard it. I saw a row of people on the roofs on both sides, holding bows and crossbows, shooting below, but after a while, screams rang out, and there were no more people standing in the front yard.

The people in the ambush in the wing room also rushed out with knives and guns, and the square-faced man was caught between several retinues, although he was hit by crossbow arrows in his legs, he did not die immediately, he opened his eyes and shouted angrily: "Why? What a crime so-and-so has committed? ”

"Han Zhen, this official came to tell you why, you are a martial artist, and you dare to coerce the imperial court to move the capital, so you can die clearly." The right prime minister, Chen Yizhong, who knew the affairs of the Privy Council, walked to the front yard, and after speaking, he waved his hand, and everyone raised their swords and guns at the same time, forcing them towards the people who were still alive.

Outside the gate of Chen's mansion, the two forbidden soldiers who were guarding the horses were still chatting, but suddenly heard about the great changes in the mansion, jumped on their horses and ran, and when the sergeants in the mansion rushed out, the two had already run away. This night in Lin'an Mansion is destined to be an unquiet night.

Huainan East Road is located in Yangzhou, within the state city, and the Grand Canal passes through the city. Since the beginning of the first year of the Sui Dynasty, this north-south traffic artery that communicates the five water systems of Hai, Huang, Huai, Jiang and Qiantang has lasted for thousands of years, and now, it is the water artery leading to the front line of Jianghuai in Lin'an Prefecture.

On the canal wharf in the city, an official ship is preparing to go ashore, this ship is not big, and it does not plant flags all over the place like ordinary official ships, only a string of lanterns are hung on the mast, and five simple words are written from top to bottom: "Lifting the Imperial City Division".

"Mr. Liao, don't leave it here, I have relied on Mr. for many years, I dare not say thank you, he is destined for the future, and Jia will talk to Mr. again." The man at the bow of the ship bowed, and then turned back and walked into the cabin without looking back.

Mr. Liao on the shore watched the rope break and the sail rise, the hull of the boat slowly left, and the sentence "grace" came to his lips, but it was difficult to say. I had to take a deep look, and when I got up, I was already wet with tears.

In the palace of the two Huai control departments in Yangzhou City, Li Tingzhi, the ambassador of the system, stood above the lobby, he only rushed from Zhenzhou yesterday, and when he received the edict, he could not believe that the power of the government and the opposition for more than ten years had fallen like this.

"Jia Xiang's group training, you have already heard the decree, and this official is edicted to take over the camp from now on. The army of the Tartars is on the verge of Jiankang, and the armies must prepare immediately, and start the next day tomorrow, advance by land and water, and go straight to the melon step. ”

As Li Tingzhi's hand waved down vigorously, the commanders of all the armies in the hall responded with fists. Outside the festival hall, the handsome flag of "Pingzhang Military Affairs, Dadu Governor" has been replaced by "Tongzhi Privy Council, Lianghuai System Ambassador", and the huge tailed raccoon dog was blown up by the strong wind, dancing in the air like a silver snake.

The imperial palace in Lin'an Mansion was expanded on the basis of the original Hangzhou state governance after the decision to take Hangzhou as the "line" in the second year of Shaoxing, and was called Da Nei. Its location is at the southern end of Lin'an City, ranging from the eastern foot of Wushan Mountain to the south of Wansongling, east to the south section of Zhonghe, and south to the north of the Wudai Brahma Temple.

The whole inner hall is divided into five parts: the outer court, the inner court, the east palace, the academy, and the palace back garden. The outer court lives in the south and west, the inner court is northeast, the east palace is in the southeast, the academy is near the north gate, and the palace garden is in the north.

Ciyuan Hall is located in the center of the inner back garden, since the third year of Baoqing, it has become Xie Daoqing's dormitory. From the county lady to the concubine, to the queen, the queen mother, and now the queen mother, a flower-aged girl has already become an elderly woman.

At three o'clock, the sixty-five-year-old Empress Dowager Xie was in poor spirits, and she was preparing to go to bed under the service of the personal palace maid. At this time, there was a hurried footstep outside the palace gate, Empress Xie has always been very strict in governing the palace, and the inner servants are generally not so rude, but now this can only mean that something big has happened.

"What did you say?" Hearing the report of the inner servant, Mrs. Xie, who had always been calm, turned white in an instant, and the forbidden army in front of the palace rebelled and forced the palace, which has not happened since the "Miao Liu Change" in the third year of Jianyan. Thinking about Emperor Gaozong's wolf bèi that time, now that the official family is young and there is no long monarch in the court, she can't help but feel a little flustered

"The Empress Dowager Qiyu, the deputy commander of the front division of the palace, Li Dacheng, led the troops to rebel, and the rebellious army said that they wanted to avenge 'Commander Han'. is attacking Jiahuimen, and the rocket it launched has been shot into the Ouchi, and the people in the palace are panicking, and they ask the empress dowager to decide. ”

The chamberlain spoke in detail again, and Empress Dowager Xie calmed down, and urgently ordered her cronies to hold her handwritten letter to summon the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall, as well as her nephew Xie Tang and others to enter the university to discuss. and ordered the guards and pro-army departments on duty to guard the gates of each palace, and let the Empress Dowager take the official family to her to take refuge.

With the entry of the ministers into the palace, the originally frightened and restless people in the Ciyuan Hall also calmed down, which shows that the rebel forces are not strong, and even Ouchi has not blocked it. Empress Dowager Xie was a little calmer, and her eyes were fixed on Chen Yizhong, who was in the lead, to see how he explained.

"The Empress Dowager, it is really a last resort for the ministers to do this. Han Zhen had different aspirations, and Jia seemed to Daoyin to make him write a letter to move the capital, which was actually a general's coercion of the imperial court and officials. Now that his cronies have resolutely rebelled, it is confirmed that his retrograde behavior has been premeditated, and the minister implores the empress dowager to issue an edict to quell the chaos and punish the ministers. ”

Looking at Chen Yizhong, who was not afraid in front of the palace and talked eloquently, Empress Dowager Xie sighed secretly, he was not allowed to play, everyone had already been killed, and the chaos had already started, so what was the use. Looking at the other ministers, they all nodded in agreement, and had to agree.

A sudden rebellion came and went quickly, and under the blows of various armies, the rebels quickly collapsed, and Li Dacheng escaped from Lin'an with his cronies to protect Han Zhen's family, and he didn't know what to do. Chen Yizhong began a purge in the name of purging the Jia Party, and since then he has become a pillar of the court.

Liu Yu was in Wang Lixin's study at this time, holding a document in his hand, which was not a new report from the imperial court, but from Liyang County, which was subordinate to Jiankang Mansion.

"This old man Zhao Huai knows that unlike his cousin, if he wants to shirk, he can abandon the city and retreat to western Zhejiang, as you ordered. With him like this, he can attract the attention of some Tartars to some extent, what are you bothering about? Wang Lixin glanced at him strangely, but Liu Yu couldn't explain that he originally wanted to change Zhao Huai's fate, but he didn't expect it to be as usual.

In the document, Zhao Huai politely declined Liu Yu's Jun order in the name of Jiankang Mansion, claiming that as the new Jiangdong transit envoy of the imperial court, there was no possibility of turning to another road, and he would set up a transfer envoy in Liyang, recruit village warriors, and block the invading Yuan people in the Gaoling area.

Jiangnan East Road transfer envoy and Zhiliyang County, Liu Yu felt a little ridiculous, the master sent above himself, and the official was under himself. The entire Jiangnan East Road, now a Jiankang Mansion is barely alive, and now there is such an institution, and suddenly he understands why Zhao Huai is the Huaidong transfer envoy in the history books, because at that time Jiankang City has already surrendered, and Jiangdong Road no longer exists as a construction.

"Hello, Da Lang is back!" Just when he didn't know how to answer Wang Lixin, suddenly there was a shout of his own soldiers outside the door. Wang Lin, who hadn't seen him for a month, Liu Yu was overjoyed, turned around and went out.
