0469 Bloody Palace Road, there is no way
More than an hour ago, Di Renjie was sent back to the province of Fengge.
At this time, most of the officials of the Imperial City had already been summoned to the Feng Pavilion, and they were all talking about it, wanting to ask what happened tonight and why so many unusual signs suddenly appeared, and the scene could be described as extremely chaotic.
When Di Renjie entered the Fengge Office, he didn't attract much attention at first, only some courtiers who had good daily friendships greeted him and asked.
After all, at present, there are many hundreds of priests gathered here, and Di Renjie's Sibin Temple is not an important department in the southern province, and everyone only thinks that he is also an ordinary member who was urgently called here.
Soon, the subordinate officials of the Political Affairs Hall who escorted Di Renjie here entered the Fengge Yatang, first suppressed the discussion of everyone with the sound of gongs and drums, and then began to read out the decree of the Political Affairs Hall.
The content of the order is naturally written according to the meaning of Doulu Qinwang, and what is said is just that the imperial heir will soon go out of the south of the palace to meet the courtiers, and Yang Zaisi, the waiter of Luantai, is responsible for coordinating the courtiers to wait in Fengge to welcome the emperor's heir.
Liu Renjing, the general of the left Weiwei, arranged the escort with the guards of this guard, and the right Qianniu Wei was responsible for the defense of the Tianmen, and the rest of the guards were on standby in the Wei Mansion!
Despite this, when the contents of the order were announced, it still caused an uproar in the audience. Of course, the courtiers present understood that the reason why the imperial heir had lived in the forbidden place for a long time and did not see the courtiers was of course not because the imperial heir was naturally fond of the house, but for a deeper reason. Now that he suddenly came forward to meet the courtier, it naturally means that a major change has occurred.
As for Di Renjie, after hearing the full content of the book, the bitterness on his face became even stronger, and he knew that he had really miscalculated by summoning Doulu Qinwang into the matter this time.
Doulu Qinwang's past performance was so lackluster that Di Renjie was deceived by it, thinking that Doulu Qinwang was nothing more than that, but he didn't expect that his people would behave so tough and stubborn after gaining power, which can be described as ruthless, and directly excluded Di Renjie from the core of the subsequent development.
After a short period of astonishment, there was no shortage of courtiers cheering loudly.
Although they still don't know what happened, the emperor's heir came south to meet the courtiers, which was naturally good news for many ministers who still had Li Tang in their hearts, and many people had praised Doulu Qinwang, who presided over the political affairs hall, and called him a powerful minister of the auxiliary state.
This is the old spicy thing about Doulu Qinwang, when the courtiers still don't know the inside story of the incident, first throw them a great hope and surprise.
If things change again and the imperial heir does not come south as promised, then the charge of holding the imperial heir hostage can be directly crowned on the head of the acting king who caused trouble at the north gate. Under the huge disappointment, Doulu Qinwang could coerce the people of Southern Province to vent his dissatisfaction on the acting king.
But not all of the people present were ignorant, just as everyone was still digesting the news that the emperor's heir had come south, Yao Yuanchong, who knew the inside story well, had already stepped out, looked at the officials in the hall and asked loudly: "May I ask the official envoy, is His Majesty the Holy Emperor safe?" Has His Royal Highness the Imperial Heir entered the political hall? The political hall is in Zhinai Liang King today, why is the written order issued by the Doulu Prime Minister's Office? β
Several questions were thrown out one after another, all of which went straight to the core, and immediately attracted the attention of everyone present. They stopped discussing for a while, and all looked at the officials of the political hall who read out the decree, whether the imperial heir came out of the palace or not, after all, the matter was very important, and Doulu Qinwang's vague statement always seemed thin.
The officials of the political hall were also a little stunned at this time, and they didn't know how to answer, so they could only point to Di Renjie and say: "Di Shaoqing and Doulu Xianggong entered the office together to set the situation, and if the princes have questions, Di Shaoqing can answer!" β
As soon as his words fell, Yao Yuanchong, who had already known the inside story, had already pulled Wang Fangqing, who was also in a huge shock, and rushed into the crowd, grabbed Di Renjie left and right, and pushed him into the hall.
Seeing that Yao Yuanchong's reactions and movements were so fast, Di Renjie couldn't help but sigh that the king really had the wisdom to know people, and he used all the talented people. He also walked into the hall by the way, and said loudly in front of everyone's curious eyes: "His Royal Highness the Acting King has entered the palace from the Xuanwu Gate to protect His Majesty the Holy Emperor, and the former political affairs hall Li Xianggong led Nanya Zhongyong to welcome His Royal Highness the emperor's heir, and Doulu Xianggong has newly entered the political affairs hall to make an order on behalf of King Liang!" A certain was ordered by Prime Minister Doulu to come south to sue the matter! β
Although his answer also highlighted the several people who were plotting the matter, he did not shout to kill the Wu clan thieves like before.
In fact, the political affairs hall is now controlled by Doulu Qinwang, and his people have deliberately concealed the action of killing the kings of the Wu clan, if he makes a different voice from the political affairs hall at this moment, it will undoubtedly split the hearts of the people in the southern province directly, and the authority of the political affairs hall to lead the southern province will also be shaken.
At the moment, the major events have not yet been called successful, and this core disagreement is best resolved behind closed doors, rather than being publicized to the public.
The message thrown by Di Renjie immediately caused a discussion in the audience. What has been revealed so far has shown that this must be a coup d'Γ©tat.
Prime Minister Yang Zaisi, who had just been named by the Political Affairs Hall to maintain the situation, also stepped forward quickly at this time, and said loudly to Di Renjie: "The princes are anxious to uphold justice and righteousness, and welcome the emperor's heir back to the world, which is really the pillar of the society and the hero of the country!" We and the scholars in the court are hereby ordered to wait for the arrival of the emperor's heir! β
Although Yang Zaisi is not a strong prime minister, since he is in the political hall, he always has his own position and demands. At present, neither the Holy Emperor nor the Imperial Heir have yet to appear in public, and the authority of their political affairs hall has naturally been unprecedentedly strengthened. He suddenly opened his mouth here, also to prevent Di Renjie from revealing more inside information.
But the authority of the prime ministers in today's political hall is insufficient, whether it is Doulu Qinwang or Yang Zaisi, they are all well-known old oilmen in the government and the opposition. In the past, it was just a mess, but now it is such a shocking event, how can it be so simple to fool the past.
So as soon as Yang Zaisi finished speaking, Zhang Cambodia, an old fighter who had just been transferred to the position of Shang Fang's young eunuch, walked out of the crowd and asked loudly: "The emperor's heir came south, is it on the order of the Holy Emperor, or is it a public statement in the political affairs hall?" β
This question is more central than Yao Yuanchong's previous questions, what is the nature of this incident? Don't everyone be happy to wait here to welcome the imperial heir, but ushered in the rebellion forbidden army of His Majesty the Holy Emperor!
Yang Zaisi naturally couldn't answer this, he was still confused.
Di Renjie also watched the noise of the courtiers getting louder and louder, and felt that he had reached a certain level of fire before he spoke: "The order in the night is simple, and it is really difficult to elaborate on it. What you suspect is inconvenient to talk about it at the moment, you can raise the number of people who can talk about it with me! β
Hearing Di Renjie's words, the courtiers quieted down, approved Di Renjie's proposal, and began to recommend candidates.
Di Renjie knew that if Doulu Qinwang insisted on going his own way, it would be meaningless for him to fight in the political hall, so he made this compromise and returned to Fengge to decentralize the right to speak, hoping that through the voices of the courtiers, Doulu Qinwang realized that his idea of holding the southern province and acting against the king was unrealistic, so as to solve Liang Wangwu Sansi as soon as possible and return the situation to the right track.
When Di Renjie made this suggestion, Yao Yuanchong also pulled Wang Fangqing, who was worried, and said in a serious voice: "His Royal Highness the Acting King risked his life this time and stood up to defend the road, especially if he needs his wings to help. If Zuo Cheng misses this section again, then we will have no more seats to establish a dynasty on behalf of the king! β
When Wang Fangqing heard this, he was also shocked in his heart, and then nodded again and again, and pressed down many distracting emotions in his heart, and decided to speak out on behalf of the Wang family. β
Di Renjie nodded after hearing this, now it is necessary to negotiate to solve the problem, and all parties need to reach a consensus. After the acting king took control of the northern government, of course, he was qualified to let his people enter and speak out, otherwise no matter what kind of consensus was reached, the acting king could refuse to admit it.
After some commotion, the courtiers finally elected seven people, of which there were three people who were closely related to the acting king, namely Ouyang Tong, Wang Fangqing and Zheng Rong, the young eunuch of Lintai. The other four are Si Wei Shaoqing, Guan Guogong Yang Jiaben, Si Qing Wu Chonggui, Secretary of the Department Wei Juyuan and Prime Minister Du Jingjian.
Seeing such a result, the corners of Di Renjie's mouth couldn't help but smile bitterly again. Of course, he also understands that this kind of coup d'Γ©tat is determined within the central core, and once the right to speak is spread again, it will inevitably bring more uncontrollable factors, and now he has fallen into a strange circle of using more mistakes to make up for previous mistakes.
For example, these people who are elected now, judging from the official positions alone, except for Wenchang Zuocheng Wang Fangqing, who is being elected according to the trend of the king. The rest of the people, including Di Renjie, are all from the temple supervisors, and almost none of the political leaders of the six ministries of the three provinces are elected. Including Prime Minister Du Jingjian, his identity is not the prime minister, but the secretary of his own office.
This shows that in the subconscious hearts of the courtiers, they are already extremely dissatisfied with the current court situation, and when implemented in action, it is a collective abandonment of the political officials of the three provinces and six ministries!
As for the identities of these people, Yang Jiaben and Wei Juyuan are all representatives of the Guanlong family who are still in the dynasty in addition to Doulu Qinwang, Yang Jiaben is from the Hongnong Yang family's Guan Wang Fang of the Holy Emperor's mother family, and he is also the head of the Yang family after the former prime minister Yang Zhirou, and has a close relationship with the kings of the Wu family and has frequent interactions.
Such a team, no matter how you look at it, is a little unreliable. But Di Renjie suffered from not having too deep management in the forbidden army, and he could only hope to correct the mistakes caused by Doulu Qinwang through group discussions.
Among them, Du Jingjian was still in the Sixing Temple and had not yet arrived, but Di Renjie was worried that the longer the time dragged on, Doulu Qinwang would have more control over Nanya, and they were only afraid that they would not even be able to enter the political affairs hall at that time, so they decided that the seven of them would go first and told Du Jingjian to go directly to the political affairs hall to senate.
At this time, Liu Renjing, the general of Zuo Weiwei who was named by Doulu Qinwang to control the situation, had already led the soldiers of Zuo Weiwei to return to Fengge, and when he saw Di Renjie and his party leaving Fengge, he subconsciously stepped forward to dissuade him, but was reprimanded by Di Renjie.
After Liu Renjing received the order, he directly returned to Weifu to gather the army, and did not receive further instructions from the political affairs hall, so he did not dare to force Di Renjie and his party.
However, the instructions given to the Right Qianniu Guard, who had already entered the Heavenly Gate, were clearer, and he directly stopped Di Renjie and the others in front of the Heavenly Gate, and only said that they should return to the other provinces of Fengge and wait for further instructions from the Political Affairs Hall.
Di Renjie and others could not retreat from the gate of heaven, and when they were trying their best to negotiate, there was another group of soldiers on the street in the imperial city who rushed north, it was Li Zhaode, Cui Xuanwei and others who entered the workshop to escort Princess Taiping back to the imperial city, and Li Shouli, the king of Yong, who had just been rescued.
There are seven or eight hundred people in this line, in addition to thousands of horsemen and hundreds of people, there are also the two kings and the Taiping princess's palace guards, plus the right Jin Wuwei and the right prison guard.
After Huan Yanfan was repelled by Doulu Qinwang in Fengge, he had already noticed that the situation had changed, so after reporting to Tang Xianxue, he went to Daodaofang, and met with Zhao Changxing, the general of the Suyue army, in the south of Xinzhong Bridge, communicated with each other, broke through the siege of Zuo Jin Wuwei and took King Yong out, and when he was transferred to Tianjin Bridge, when he was transferred to Tianjin Bridge, he joined forces with Li Zhaode and others under the instruction of Tang Xianxue.
In front of the gate of heaven, seeing the two sides of the dispute, Princess Taiping made people come forward to question, and after learning the reason, she was immediately furious, and opened her mouth and said sharply: "The emperor's heir came out of the palace to the south, which is a major event for the family and the country!" Since it is difficult for you to decide on the princes in the court, each of them will return to the department, I am the daughter of the Holy Emperor and the daughter of the Emperor's heir, and I dare to stop me when I ask about family affairs! β
Hearing Princess Taiping's scolding, he was also in a state of turmoil for a while, although he was ordered by Doulu Qinwang to not allow idle people to cross the gate of heaven, but Princess Taiping was not among them, it was really unclear.
When the situation was still deadlocked, Li Zhaode raised his hand and signaled the thousand horsemen to open and charge. At the same time, Huan Yanfan turned his horse's head closer to Li Shouli, raised his hand and pointed at Wu Chonggui, who was standing with Di Renjie and his party.
Seeing this, Li Shouli's eyes suddenly lit up, and he drew a knife in his hand and laughed loudly: "This night to kill the national thief, there is actually a fish that has slipped through the net!" It's time to pick up the great work! β
As he spoke, he had already rushed out of the team and rushed straight towards Wu Chonggui, and Huan Yanfan naturally led several members to go with the crowd.
Wu Chonggui had already noticed that something was wrong, but because the political affairs hall was vague and there were still one or two illusions, at this time, seeing King Yong leading the crowd to kill him, he was also extremely panicked for a while, turned around and flashed to Yang Jiaben on his side, and shouted in his mouth: "The traitor is harming, Guanguo Gong save me!" β
Li Shouli's reckless move naturally made everyone present panic, Yang Jiaben subconsciously protected Wu Chonggui and retreated, and at the same time shouted in his mouth: "I don't know what crime King Gaoping committed, King Yong actually wants to harm the sword?" β
"Don't get in the way of Guan Guogong, you are cautious and have entered the workshop with me to trap and kill the King of Wei, which can be described as happy! The thief in front of me, Guanguo Gong helped me kill him, and became the name of your father and son's righteousness and loyalty! β
Between shouts, Li Shouli had already rushed forward.
Yang Jiaben heard him shout, his movements were suddenly stagnant, and his son Yang Shen told him before leaving home in the morning that he was going to go to King Yong's mansion to have a feast today, so he had already believed in what Li Shouli shouted, and subconsciously pulled Wu Chonggui between dodging and pushed it forward.
At this moment, Li Shouli also rushed forward, and the horizontal knife in his hand slashed straight down, and immediately slashed at Wu Chonggui's shoulder. Wu Chonggui screamed and fell to the ground, his body fell to the ground and struggled, and Huan Yanfan, who was killed from behind, stabbed him in the back and nailed him to the ground!
Seeing that Gao Ping Wang Heng died in front of him, Di Renjie and the others were also dumbfounded for a while.
Cui Xuanwei had already looked at Di Renjie and shouted: "Di Gong, the matter has come to this, how can you think about it anymore!" Doulu Qinwang took advantage of his position to gain power, and he was defiled with thieves, and he had the courage to shield the national thief Wu Sansi, this kind of evil thief is definitely not a good choice to support the country! Her Royal Highness the princess led the crowd like this, and she was killing these two thieves! β
Seeing this change, Di Renjie opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, and at this time, Li Zhaode had already ordered a thousand horsemen to attack the Heavenly Gate.
At this moment, between the east and west courts of the imperial city, many Nanya soldiers have gathered, and seeing that there has been a vicious battle here in Zetianmen, they can't help but approach here under the leadership of their respective generals. And the courtiers gathered in the provinces of Fengge also rushed out to watch after hearing the noise outside.
At this time, it had reached the moment when the big thing would collapse if a decision was not made, Wang Fangqing and the others hurriedly shouted to Princess Taiping who was guarding and protecting: "The Imperial City is an important division, and it is definitely not a place of blood!" Her Royal Highness the princess and even the bloodline, please speak out to calm the feelings of the group! β
Princess Taiping didn't expect Li Shouli to be so reckless, and her face couldn't help but turn a little pale with nervousness at this time, but after hearing the shouts of Wang Fangqing and others, she also made a decision, separated the soldiers who were covering in front of her, and shouted to the people gathered in the south: "The national thieves are harming the current politics, and the society is in turmoil. Although I am a heavenly woman, I feel the grace of my parents, and I can still forge ahead! The acting king is young and strong, and his flesh and blood are shields, and he protects the two at the north gate! All the gentlemen present are all sharing the material, and the monks of the national dynasty are used at this time! If it's not me, I won't die! β
At the same time, Doulu Qinwang in the political hall was also anxiously waiting for the outside world to be arraigned, and at the same time, his eyes kept looking at Wu Sansi, who was detained on the side of the hall.
After experiencing the initial panic, Wu Sansi also realized that Doulu Qinwang did not have the courage and determination to kill him, but regained a little calm, and constantly hit the book case in front of him with his body, wanting to let people release the silk ball that blocked his mouth.
"King Liang, please sit here in peace, it is indeed rude tonight, but it is by no means intended to offend. I was also coerced by strong men such as the acting king......"
Doulu Qinwang was annoyed by Wu Sansi's noise, but he didn't dare to let his people out of his sight, and at present, Nanya's cronies had not yet entered the political hall in a big way, and the situation was still uncertain.
At this point, Doulu Qinwang couldn't tell whether his decision was right or wrong, but only now could he feel a little safe by summoning more people from the Nanya who he could control into this place.
As time passed, Doulu Qinwang also became more and more unpleasant. The most basic point is that if Li Zhaode and they have already received the imperial heir, there should always be news back. But there is still no news, even if the imperial heir is not controlled by the acting king, maybe Li Zhaode has already thrown himself to the side of the acting king.
After waiting for a while, Doulu Zhensong hurriedly entered, and Dao Shi had already summoned more than 200 left guards stationed in Mingtang.
Doulu Qinwang roughly calculated, more than 700 soldiers of the Zhuwei Forbidden Army had gathered here, and the imperial city should have also been assembled, so he ordered to take Wu Sansi and return to the imperial city, with the gate of heaven as the boundary, and negotiate with the acting king who should have controlled the inner palace.
However, as soon as they left the political hall, an urgent report came from the Tianmen, saying that Princess Taiping was leading the southern yamen to attack the Tianmen.
Hearing this news, Doulu Qinwang's face suddenly changed, and he suddenly scolded angrily: "Women are in trouble with the country, and the world is not deeply harmed enough? Those courtiers in Southern Province can't even control a single woman? β
Saying this, Doulu Qinwang still signaled to retreat to the political affairs hall, first let a forbidden army general pass the order to the soldiers of Tianmen to defend it, and at the same time ordered another general to lead more than 100 people to Jingyunmen with his warrant to explore the way, intending to exit from the side gate.
Just when Doulu Qinwang was still thinking about the future, Doulu Zhensong had already rushed into the hall with a hasty expression and said quickly: "Xianggong, the gate of heaven is lost, and Her Royal Highness the princess is leading the crowd into this ......."
"Panic what! The princess is just a woman, but she is taking advantage of the chaos when the law is not working, you take my warrant and tell the princess that I have entered the palace to face the saint, and she does not dare to harm you! β
When Doulu Qinwang heard this, he also felt a headache, Princess Taiping attacked the palace gate at this time and added variables, which was very unfavorable for him to collect Nanya's manpower. So he planned to lead the princess to the inner palace to confront the acting king, and he secretly retreated to the southern province to control the situation.
With such thoughts, he didn't blame Dou Lu Qinwang for being naΓ―ve, he still didn't realize that the acting king had listed him as a target to kill, and felt that luring Princess Taiping into the game was just to disrupt his deployment in Nanya.
So when Doulu Zhensong received the order to go, Doulu Qinwang asked people to control Wu Sansi, and hundreds of people went straight to Jingyunmen under the cover of night.
In fact, as Dou Lu Qinwang expected, although Princess Taiping can make a decision, but after all, her scheming is still shallow, after hearing Dou Lu Zhensong's submission, she subconsciously believed it, and was planning to lead the crowd to Da Yemen.
However, Li Zhaode and the others who were traveling with him were human spirits who were not inferior to Doulu Qinwang, and after listing Doulu Qinwang as the target of this night's killing, of course they would not be fooled so simply.
Even if they believe that Doulu Qinwang has already gone to the inner palace, they must have been beheaded by the acting king at this moment, then they must also get the seal of the political affairs hall and other imperial tokens, so they still go straight to the political affairs hall.
After arriving at the political affairs hall, Doulu Qinwang's little trick to confuse the public naturally has nothing to hide, even if there is no official of the political affairs hall to report against the water, all the things stored in the political affairs hall are gone, even if Doulu Qinwang goes to see the acting king with brain cramps, it is impossible to carry these things with him.
When she learned of the true trace of Doulu Qinwang, Princess Taiping led the crowd to pursue, and Doulu Qinwang and his party had already passed through Jingyun Gate and were about to arrive at Guangzheng Gate.
"The one who is fighting for this night is the fortune of the Tang family! It's a matter of the old minister of the Tang family who sacrificed his life, Her Royal Highness the princess has stepped into this, and she has lost her duty as a wife and daughter, don't be obsessed with chaos anymore! β
Seeing that there was no escape, Doulu Qinwang also stopped, turned to face Princess Taiping and a group of Nanya soldiers who were gradually approaching, and his tone was heroic: "Now that the two are hidden, the holy order is not out, and the political affairs hall order is the only law. β
The tone is generous and intense, but it doesn't match the current environment. If Princess Taiping storms the gate of heaven at the beginning, Doulu Qinwang dares to step forward and shout, or simply sit in the political hall and wait for the Nanya soldiers to gather outside, which can be not weakly persuasive.
But now, in the eyes of the soldiers of the Southern Ya, Doulu Qinwang is just a thief who is sneaky, colluding with King Liang, and trying to escape. Therefore, in response to Doulu Qinwang, Princess Taiping only shouted: "Shoot this fang!" β
The strong arrow poured out, and in an instant, Doulu Qinwang and Wu Sansi, who had not been able to speak a word after the incident, including Doulu Qinwang's temporary recruitment of those forbidden soldiers, were all killed by arrows in Guangzhengmen.
When the battlefield was cleaned, the corpses of the two people full of arrows were dragged to Princess Taiping's mount, and Princess Taiping turned over and dismounted, whipped the horse whip in her hand and whipped Doulu Qinwang's corpse that was already full of blood holes, and at the same time shouted and cursed: "Dog thief, dog thief!" Underestimate that there is no one in my family, even if it is only a woman, I can kill you! β
While speaking, she asked Dou Luzhen to be escorted here, pointing at him and scolding: "Heaven treats your family, but is there a loss?" I used to think about giving up my daughter to get married, my kindness was so disappointed, I have a jackal heart, what is it to not die! β
As Dou Lu Zhensong's head also came out of his body, Li Zhaode and the others, who had followed him all the way, glanced at each other, and each saw a trace of horror and vigilance in each other's eyes.
