The news of Kangxi's death could not be concealed in the palace, and everyone was crying, but this did not prevent them from passing the news outside......

Just when everyone was in a mess, Xun Zhu, the minister of honor and guards, quickly rushed over with someone, wearing a neat cotton armor and a long knife hanging from his waist, followed by a group of soldiers from the guard camp, but the entire palace was surrounded.

The guard battalion was filled by young and skilled people selected from the Manchuria and Mongolian Eight Banners, and 17 people were selected under each leader, and there were originally more than 15,000 people. But later, after following Kangxi's southern expedition, there were less than 10,000 soldiers left in the guard camp, and some of them were in Beijing.

At this time, there were only more than 3,000 people in the guard camp of the palace, including more than 100 people from the Manmeng Guard Military Academy, these people were not convinced by Xunzhu, because according to the regulations, they were only subject to the moderation of the ministers of the guards, especially Kangxi's personal guards, strictly speaking, there were several ministers of the guards, plus the first, second, and third-class guards, who were not convinced by Xunzhu, the minister of honor and guard, and they were really a little unsatisfactory.

Seeing that Xun Zhu surrounded the palace with people, Yin De, the minister of the guards on duty today, was not to be outdone, and led hundreds of guards to resist in front. He looked at Xun Zhu, but he was not timid at all, but reprimanded.

"Lord Xunzhu, you led the guards to surround the palace, what do you want, do you want to rebel?"

Xun Zhu sneered: "Lord Ben is also a good product, you are just a product, how dare you speak in such a tone?" Yin De, the emperor died today, the cause of death is suspicious, and you are all guilty, the general blocked the palace, and waited for the cabinet members to come, and investigated them one by one. ”

Yin De's character is pure and loyal, he was born in Manchuria Zhengbai Banner, is the son of Ji Bilong, and was later appreciated by Kangxi, from the capital was promoted to the Minister of Guard, plain and respectful, honest and simple, for Kangxi Suwei for more than ten years, has never tasted. Therefore, he is not a member of the Eight Masters Party, nor has he taken refuge in any prince, he has always been loyal to Kangxi himself, so naturally he will not buy the accounts of the Eight Masters Party.

Now that Kangxi is dead, Yin De naturally will not tolerate some young people to plot against him again, he took the guards to guard the palace gate firmly, and refused to let Xunzhu's guard camp enter, and the two sides stood against each other here, but Xunzhu did not dare to do it, otherwise no matter what he said at that time, he would not be able to say it.

However, Xun Zhu has already sent people to gather all the ministers near the palace, all of them blocked the news, and then sent his henchmen to find the eighth elder brother, and waited for him to come over to preside over the overall situation, but after all this was done, Xun Zhu was still a little anxious in his heart, because the longer the time now, the more unfavorable it would be for the eighth elder brother.

Time passed little by little, and as the night became darker and deeper, the atmosphere between the people did not relax in the slightest, and even became much more tense, and the smell of gunpowder between the two sides became stronger and stronger.

When Zizheng arrived, Xunzhu felt that he couldn't go on like this, otherwise when the army arrived, everything would not be his own. Thinking of this, a trace of ruthlessness appeared on his face, and he was ready to take his subordinates to the guard camp and go directly to the palace, if the guards dared to stop him, he would kill him.

is the so-called king and defeat, how much blood and rain in it, it is such a ruthless thing. As for how to deal with the aftermath later, it is not for anyone to say, of course, it is alive, not dead.

Hundreds of soldiers of the guard battalion who were bewitched by Xun Zhu, they held the long knives in their hands, and began to move forward step by step, but the nervous look on their faces could not be concealed, and the big guy seemed to feel that tonight was not so simple.....

Yin De's face sank, he took the lead in pulling out his saber, took a step forward and stood in front. And the guards behind him also drew their swords and stood with Yin De; With a resolute look on his face.

"Whoever dares to take a step forward will be killed immediately!"

Just when the two sides were about to fight, there was a rush of footsteps from outside, and thousands of soldiers rushed in, but surrounded Xunzhu and others in the middle, and the first person was Ertai, a subordinate of Prince Yong.

It turned out that before Kangxi died, the imperial doctor installed by Mr. Wu had already passed the news to Li Wei, so that Prince Yong could prepare early, and he had already said that something big would happen tonight.

Li Wei also quickly passed the news back to Prince Yong's mansion, after Yinzhen learned the news, he immediately sent his henchman Ortai to seconded a battalion of soldiers and horses to the Jiumen Admiral Long Keduo, and took over the guard office with Prince Yong's warrant.

Under the protection of a group of Qing soldiers, Ortai took a few steps forward and said in a loud voice: "According to the order of Prince Yong, the minister of the guard, this official will take over the defense affairs of the palace, and the idle people will retreat as soon as possible!" ”

As soon as he heard that it was the warrant of Prince Yong Yinzhen, Xun Zhu was a little panicked, he complained a little in his heart about the eighth elder brother and others, the action was too slow, the other party sent people, but they still did not arrive. But complaining is complaining, Xunzhu still has to find a way to get through the current difficulty.

"You said you have a warrant from Prince Yong, would you like to show it to me?"

Xun Zhu narrowed his eyes, but he quietly put his hand on the hilt of the knife, he planned to wait for the other party to come, he would coerce this person down first, and then wait for the eighth elder brother and others to come.

Ortai has also been an official for decades, and he is by no means such a hairy young man, he sneered and raised the warrant high, but he no longer paid attention to the column, but turned to the soldiers in the guard camp and shouted: "You wait for the soldiers to surround the palace today, and you have let go of the big crime." But this officer is willing to give you a way to live, now put down your sword immediately, return to the barracks, and do not go out, otherwise you will be killed! ”

The Qing soldiers below were already completely confused, they were not so clear about the reasons for some of the things tonight, and some of the green battalion soldiers who were smart and knew things vaguely felt in their hearts that they and others had been sold by Xunzhu, and some of the Qing soldiers' faces began to waver, and some even put their blades on the ground.

Xun Zhu saw this scene, but he didn't struggle anymore, just sighed, and then dropped the blade in his hand, he already understood, the eighth elder brother and they haven't arrived yet, there is actually only one reason, that is, the current trend has gone.

Ortai concentrated the soldiers in the military camp and sealed them in the barracks, and then handed over the warrant to Yin De, the minister of the guard, just when Yin De was about to hand over the power of the guards in his hand, Ortai smiled and said: "Lord Yin, Prince Yong ordered the lower officials to come to assist Lord Yin in blocking the palace, and no outsiders are allowed to enter or leave." Now that the siege has been lifted, Xia Guan will bring people to be stationed on the periphery. ”

Yin De nodded with satisfaction, Prince Yong really has a good way to do things, this time it is just right to retreat as advance, if he really takes over the palace directly, he will be suspected of falling into a melon field, and now the palace is still in charge of the neutral Yin De, which is not only more beneficial to Prince Yong's reputation, but also invisibly gives Yin De a little thin face.

At this time, Prince Yong's mansion was already brightly lit, and the news of Kangxi's death had reached Yinzhen's ears, but this news was obtained by Li Wei from the secret agents in the palace, but it was not easy to publicize.

Yin Zhen knelt quietly in front of the Buddha statue, his face was as calm as water, and he rubbed a string of antique Buddha beads in his hand.

"Lord Qiyu, there is news from the palace, Xunzhu took the guard camp to break into the palace, fortunately, Lord Yin led the guards to fight to the death, so he insisted on the source of Ortai's troops, and now the guard camp has been controlled, and Xunzhu is secretly imprisoned in the palace."

Wu Sidao said softly, just looking at Yinzhen's indifferent expression at this time, he gradually felt a sigh in his heart, the hardest thing in this world is the emperor's heart, but the current Yinzhen has been practiced.

"Mr. Wu has worked hard, now that Huang Ama has died, this king is in a state of confusion, and he still needs to rely on Mr. Wu for big and small things."

A hint of apology flashed on Yin Zhen's face, "This king has already sent Li Wei to find the thirteenth brother with a warrant, and let the thirteenth brother take over the Fengtai camp with my golden arrow, as long as the Fengtai camp is held, the rest are Zhang Tingyu and Ma Qi." ”

Wu Sidao stroked his beard, with a strange smile on his face, and said softly: "Zhang Tingyu has closed the door, but even no one is gone...... On the contrary, it was Ma Qi who handed a message to the minion, saying that the emperor's last order, he naturally would not and did not dare to disobey it, so that the prince could relax. ”

"Hmm, what do you think of Mr. Wu?" Yin Zhen's face was calm.

Wu Sidao sighed softly: "Zhang Tingyu should not be underestimated, this person is a pillar of talent, and he knows that he is an official with three flavors, and he once said to others, 'Ten thousand words are better than one silence', and the slave thinks that this person is now closed to the door, and it is because of his consideration for the prince." ”

Of course, Yin Zhen also knew a lot about Zhang Tingyu, nodded and said: "What Hengchen did is nothing more than to prove to the people of the world that the succession of the prince is the edict of Emperor Daxing, and it is actually the destiny of heaven." It's that Ma Qi, huh! ”

For Yinzhen, Ma Qi is really an out-and-out official oilman, and he is used to going left and right, especially in this battle for succession, and he is even more suspected of being a snake and a rat.

When they arrived at Yinzheng, several little eunuchs hurriedly knocked on the door of Prince Yong's mansion, and then the housekeeper hurriedly walked to the door of the study, knocked lightly on the door a few times, and then said softly: "Lord, someone is in the palace." ”

Hearing this, Yin Zhen and Wu Sidao were shocked at the same time, and they glanced at each other.

"It's finally here."

..............................................................................................................

The Fengtai battalion was brightly lit at this time, and a column of Qing troops had already put on cotton armor and carried bird guns on their shoulders, and they were assembling under the leadership of the generals, and the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

Admiral Cheng Wenyun had a slight look of anxiety on his face, and he was pacing back and forth in the camp tent, and several Eight Banner generals stood behind him, as if they were waiting for something.

Although everyone didn't speak, they already had a few points in their hearts, and I am afraid that something big will happen today, and once something happens, the soldiers of the Fengtai battalion are the magic weapon to win. Without soldiers, it's hard to say anything.

At this time, there were more than 15,000 soldiers in the entire Fengtai battalion, and these people were all under the Fengtai Governor Cheng Wenyun, but even if Cheng Wenyun wanted to transfer troops, he had to have an edict from the emperor.

At present, the generals in the camp are all members of the Eight Masters Party, and they each have an army under their hands, adding up to more than 5,000 people, which is really a force to be reckoned with. Cheng Wenyun gathered them here tonight, and what he did was naturally to participate in the battle for succession.

"Yang Lao Liu, go and take a look, is the tenth master almost here? We really need to hurry now! ”

Yang Laoliu is a soldier of the Eight Banners Firearms Battalion of the Han Army, when he was in the southern expedition before, he did not have the opportunity to participate in it, but he escaped a catastrophe, and now in the Fengtai Battalion, it is their firearms battalion that is more powerful.

"Yes, sir."

Everyone watched Yang Lao Liu leave the camp with torches, and then disappeared into the night, but they couldn't see which direction they went, so they could only wait anxiously.

But I don't know how long it took, the tent was opened again, but a team of guards came in from the outside, everyone held knives in their hands, but what surprised the generals was that the leader was a middle-aged man with slightly gray braids, with a cold look on his face with a hint of arrogance, it was the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang.

Cheng Wenyun glanced at the man a few times, and then hurriedly came over and knelt down to salute, and the generals behind him also knew that there was a master who was not easy to mess with, and knelt on the ground one by one.

"The slave Fengtai Admiral Cheng Wenyun has seen the Thirteenth Master!"

"Kneel."

"Wow." Cheng Wenyun felt a little angry in his heart, an idle Baylor who had been circled, dared to take such a tone, and when the new monarch succeeded to the throne, I would not be able to participate in you!

"Hehe, the Thirteenth Master is here, but I don't know what to do?" Cheng Wenyun's speech began to become yin and yang, and there was a hint of mockery on his face.

Yinxiang ignored the words, took out a golden arrow token from his chest, raised it high with his hand, and then said loudly: "Prince Fengyong came to ask you, where is Cheng Wenyun, the commander of the Fengtai battalion?" ”

Prince Yong Yinzhen is the prince of the prison country, it can be said that except for the title of the prince, everything else should be there, but he, the little governor of Fengtai, has no way to stop it.

"The minions are here." Cheng Wenyun's heart began to sink slowly, and he already had a premonition that something bad was wrong.

"As the commander of the Fengtai battalion, why did you use the sword at this time? What do you want? Yinxiang's voice became more and more stern.

"Minions..... The slave is afraid that there will be chaos in the Jingshi..."Cheng Wenyun feels that he doesn't know what he is talking about, and this reason is almost the same as deceiving the ghost.

"Hmph, even if there is chaos, it should be the business of the Admiral of the Nine Gates, what does it have to do with you?" Yinxiang looked at Cheng Wenyun, who was sweating like rain, "Come on, Cheng Wenyun will be temporarily detained, and after this incident, the trial will be carried out!" ”

"Wow!"

Several guards tied up Cheng Wenyun Wuhuanda and then took it down, but Yinxiang looked around at the general in the camp at this time, and said sharply: "By the order of Prince Yong, the Fengtai camp is completely blocked, all soldiers are not allowed to go out, and all affairs are handled by Ben Baylor....."

"Those who dare to go out will not be forgiven!"

"Wow!"
