Everyone left one after another, Zhang Xiaowu stopped Guan Xiang again, and said to him alone: "Liyang Hou's family has countless assets, and he took the opportunity to forcibly occupy all of them, and only his family's money is enough to rebuild the palace, so you have to visit carefully, and you must find Liyang Hou's property." If he invests money in anyone's business, as long as whoever takes his money, it is a thief, and he can take it together. ”

Guan Xiao smiled and said: "I'm good at this matter, but if Su Boling is here, it will be changed." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "You write to him and ask him to return to Longdu quickly, I need him to make money for me and the emperor." ”

"Okay."

After Guan Xiang left, only Wu Song stayed next to him, and Zhang Xiaowu finally sat down again to rest for a while. He lowered his head and was silent for a long time before raising his head and asking, "Is there anything else you need to add?" ”

Wu Song said: "Yes, I ordered the ghost guard to abandon Mucheng and immediately enter the king of Jingqin, ordered Shen Lindong to lead the Youzhou military department to enter the king of Jingqin, ordered Zu Gongmao to lead the department to enter the king of Jingqin, and ordered Hu Li to lead the department of Xuewei to enter the king of Jingqin immediately." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Do you think-"

Wu Song said: "The heart of defense is indispensable, we don't know who is behind the scenes, if it is really Dushanbo, it will be bad." ”

"We can't wait, we have to take the initiative." Zhang Xiaowu said, "Now only blood can deter them." ”

Wu Song smiled bitterly: "Yes, we are ghost guards from the north, and the border army has entered Beijing, who can obey, especially this Longdu people." ”

Zhang Xiaowu was basked, he suddenly thought that there was a person in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" who was almost exactly the same as himself, not the traitorous male Cao Cao, but Dong Zhuo, the leader of the Western Liang Army, Dong Zhuo was also dedicated to protecting the Han Dynasty at that time, and compared to Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo never thought of being a king or becoming an emperor for his descendants, but why is Dong Zhuo's evaluation in history so low?

"Am I Dong Zhuo?" Zhang Xiaowu laughed at himself, but there are 100,000 Xiliang Iron Riders under Dong Zhuo and Master Dong, and there are only 7,000 of his own silver guards, so if he compares Dong Zhuo, he is simply exalting himself, not even one-tenth of that of Lord Dong.

Zhang Xiaowu assessed his strength at the moment, whether he could support the young master, the four forbidden armies around Longdu still had 70,000 troops, although the army set off, but there were still many defenders left in the barracks. In view of the annihilation of the Birch River by the Xuanwu Legion that year, the future legions must leave 10,000 defenders to rebuild, including 10,000 White Tiger defenders, 10,000 Vermilion Bird defenders, 30,000 Xuanwu defenders, and 20,000 Qinglong defenders.

The forbidden army has always remained neutral in the battle for the crown prince and has never favored any heir, so most of the forbidden army will not participate in the internal fighting, including the White Tiger Army and the Vermilion Bird Army, and from the attitude of the Qinglong Army, the Qinglong Army is indecisive, there are those who support the coup and those who oppose the coup, so Helan Zong is so contradictory, after entering the palace, he was repeated, and then led the army out of the palace. And most of the Qinglong Army are new recruits, and the veterans who play a pillar role have a deep connection with themselves, so the Qinglong Army should not be on the enemy's side. The most uncertain thing is the Xuanwu Army, and this is related to Bian Wen, the commander of the Xuanwu Army.

Zhang Xiaowu asked Wu Song who was most familiar with the people and things in Longdu, Wu Song thought about it and said that in addition to Zhang Kuan, it was Gu Yong's father, Yanyang Hou Gu Chuang, and the Gu family was mainly engaged in business, although there were many real estates but very little land, so Emperor Dade would not hurt the Gu family if he re-examined the land of the Shi clan, so the Gu family should not participate in this coup. And after Emperor Dade forgave the Gu family, he also re-admitted the Gu family to the Senate, and the Gu family should support Emperor Dade.

"Quickly invite Yanyang Hou into the palace."

"Whoa."

The two were talking, Wang Yijin came with some food, although the imperial dining room of the harem was also burned down, but the imperial dining room was a place to cook for the emperor and the concubines, and the palace maid and the eunuch cooked and ate in the young man's room, but everyone didn't eat well on weekdays. Zhang Xiaowu ate the same meal as the palace maids and eunuchs on weekdays, although it was not very delicious, but it was very hungry. He ate five bowls of rice in one go, which replenished his strength, but his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and his body finally became a little sleepy.

"I'll take a nap, and you can teach me something big." Zhang Xiaowu instructed Wu Song.

Wu Song nodded, and then asked everyone not to disturb Zhang Xiaowu, he led everyone to deal with official affairs inside and outside the palace, including screening the remnants of the rebels hiding in the palace.

Most of the rebels either fled or hid, and some even disguised themselves as eunuchs to blend in, but these people were also unlucky, the eunuchs didn't see much of the sun all day long, and because of the castration caused by delicate skin, these rebels hiding in the little eunuchs were quickly picketed.

The Ussons immediately interrogated them, and the rebels did not have to be tortured, so they confessed everything in 1510. Wu Song learned from this that the place where they usually train is the manor of the Liyang Hou Mansion in Mishan County, and there are seven or eight more manors like this in the Liyang Hou family. And the people who helped Liyanghou train them seemed to be officers and soldiers, but they never revealed their identities, so no one knew who they were or why they trained themselves.

"We always thought that we were recruits of the forbidden army, and after the training was over in the future, we would be filled into the major legions of the forbidden army, and we were not rebels." They said, "How would we have thought that we would rebel and kill the emperor, and only when we entered the palace did we know that we were going to kill the faint king." The official said that we had already participated in the rebellion, and we either killed the faint king in the end, or committed suicide, so we followed them to make a big mistake. ”

Wu Song asked, "If I give you a chance, are you willing to take refuge in the imperial court and your majesty?" ”

"Naturally." The rebels immediately shouted, "We are willing to take the blame for our crimes and make meritorious deeds to cut off the rebels." ”

Wu Song smiled and nodded, thinking about how to use these rebels, Wang Huaili reported that a total of 697 rebel corpses were cleaned up, and the rebels who died under the star-picking platform were 173 people, all of whom were killed by Zhang Xiaowu alone. Everyone gasped and couldn't help but say, "The general is really a god." ”

"Don't say one hundred and seventy-three, it's one hundred and seventy-three pigs and one hundred and seventy-three sheep, and if you want to kill them, you have to tire people to death." Bao Yin said.

Wu Song said: "It is announced to the outside world that the general killed 346 rebels alone on the star-picking platform, tried to protect His Majesty's holy body, and hung the corpses of 364 rebels on the walls of the imperial city to deter the Quartet. ”

Kang Tianen was silent on the side, and suddenly said at this time: "At this time, we need to shape the prestige of the general, if we can build the general to become the world's most loyal and brave Marquis of Hejian, it can offset his disadvantage of lack of age." Perhaps, we can also make the people think that the country can be without a king, and we can't be without Zhang Xiaowu for a day! ”
