Xuanwu Army Bian Wen is an old fox who has been hiding in the dark night, but it is precisely because he is an old fox, not a hungry wolf, and has no greedy desires and ambitions, which led to the rebels becoming a lone army, and after the defeat of the lone army, the rebellion was pacified. If Bian Wen had been bolder, I was afraid that Zhang Xiaowu and others would have lined up in the underworld to be reincarnated at this time.

One of the reasons why Bian Wen has not made trouble for a long time is because he is a child of a family, and when the children of the family are faced with a rebellion against the emperor, there will be countless voices in their hearts telling him that they can't do this, the family can't afford to lose, they can be neutral, but they can't do it.

Compared with the unscrupulous commoner mud legs, it is obvious that the children of the family think more, he does not need to fight for a future for himself, because he has a good future even if he does nothing, and if he really participates in the rebellion, he will face 50% of the wealth and 50% of the tribulation, this anxiety makes it difficult for him to choose. So Bian Wen's father, Bian Xue, warned him that to this day, he should be a watchman on the wall to make a profit, no matter who gets the power, the power will fall into our hands in the end.

Bian Wen's choice cannot be said to be correct, it can only be said that it is the most insurance for him, just like now, Bian Wen's decision has been able to influence the government.

"Although Jin Yiwei has rebelled, Jin Yiwei is just a rebellion by the deputy marshal of the Quartet, and others are deceived by them and have no objection." Zhang Xiaowu analyzed to Tang Guifei, he is also interceding for Jin Yiwei, for any country, it is impossible for intelligence agencies to ban, and in the future, intelligence agencies cannot be despised, although Jin Yiwei participated in the rebellion, but after all, it is only a part of the people, although there are only 1,000 people in the Jinyi Wei Yamen of Longdu Mansion, but the secret agents of Jinyi Wei are as high as 5,000 people, once Jin Yiwei is characterized as a thief, it will cause chaos in the world, "Therefore, I suggest keeping Jin Yiwei and waiting for Yu Shuai to return from the Western Regions to re-govern, one person's fault, It should not be borne by someone else. ”

Tang Guifei just said: "Everything is decided by Lord Shaobao, I am a woman, and I really don't know about national politics." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Guifei Niangniang, in addition, we still need to do an important matter, which is related to Your Majesty and Chenghua, as well as the safety of you and me." also asked the concubine Niangniang to draft a decree to canonize Bian Wen as the general of the expedition to the north, canonize Chen Qing as the general of the expedition to the east, and reward the reinstatement of the Helan sect official. ”

"But the emperor hasn't woken up yet, in case he wakes up and finds us pretentious-" Tang Guifei is a woman, who used to only live in the palace, but now she suddenly made the decision, and suddenly hesitated. She has a virtuous and gentle personality, and she never asks about state affairs, and how can she be decisive when she first comes into contact with state affairs at this time.

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Concubine Niangniang, all the consequences will be borne by me, after Your Majesty is sober, the concubine only needs to report according to the truth, when the overall situation is important at this time, some official titles are just floating clouds." His Majesty will return to power in the future, and it will naturally be easy to seize the official title. ”

"Okay, do what you want." Tang Guifei said, "I just don't know if Lord Lu will object, after all, he is the imperial envoy." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Lord Lu is a smart person, so he naturally knows how to do it. ”

"Okay."

That night, the canonization of Bian Wen, Chen Qing and Helan Zong was transmitted to their respective battalions, although they were not canonized as the commander of the legion for the time being, but after all, the promotion needed to come step by step, and the three did not object, and the Xuanwu Legion and others also returned to the defense area and stuck to the outer city wall of Longdu City, while the Qinglong Army went to Mishan County to exterminate the rebels according to Zhang Xiaowu's request.

As soon as Lu Baiting received the holy decree and left the palace, Zhang Xiaowu received news that the king of Chu had killed himself.

Xuanyuan Zidong, the king of Chu, received a letter before he killed himself, I don't know who sent it, Xuanyuan Zidong laughed three times after reading the letter, and then sighed, and asked his subordinates to prepare wine and poison, and then drank three jars of wine and then committed suicide by poisoning. By the time the silver guards arrived at the prince's mansion, the body of the king of Chu was already cold.

As for why Xuanyuan Zidong committed suicide, everyone in the prince's mansion did not know, and Xuanyuan Zidong also burned the letters, so this secret was brought to the coffin by him. Xuanyuan Zidong's suicide saved everyone a lot of trouble, at least Emperor Dade did not need to bear the infamy of killing his brother, and Xuanyuan Zidong's concubines were subsequently strangled to death and publicized martyrdom. Fortunately, although he likes to rob other people's daughters-in-law and rape other people's wives everywhere, he does not have any offspring, so he avoids some trouble.

Early the next morning, Yin Liangnan of Longdu Mansion entered the palace and officially joined the royalist party, although he did not see Emperor Dade, but he met Tang Guifei and Zhao Wang Chenghua.

Zhang Xiaowu said to Lord Liang: "Your Majesty is with you, and this is the time to serve Your Majesty." ”

Liang Nan bowed and said: "Guifei Niangniang, the minister swears to protect King Zhao to the death." ”

Tang Guifei was moved to tears.

Liang Nan has always been an official loyal to Emperor Dade, and the officials of Longdu Mansion will not participate in the court dispute, as long as the Lord Yin of the Mansion says, they will listen to what they say. When Liang Nan decided to follow Zhang Xiaowu's arrangement, all the armed forces in the entire Longdu City were controlled by Zhang Xiaowu except for the Vermilion Bird and the White Tiger Forbidden Army.

In order to ensure the power of Emperor Dade, Zhang Xiaowu got rid of the Marquis of Liyang and the rebels of his generals in just two days, and the rebel forces were basically eliminated, and the next step was to eradicate the mastermind behind the scenes.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year in the third year of Dade, the silver-clothed guard surrounded the mansion of Lu Kun, the secretary of the ministry, and Lu Kun understood that the matter was exposed, and he committed suicide by hanging the beam. At the same time, Song Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, also committed suicide by hanging himself after writing a suicide note.

In the afternoon, the silver-clothed guards surrounded the mansion of Zhang Kuan, the prime minister of Zuo, Hengshui Bo's mansion.

This siege of Hengshui Bofu was personally led by Zhang Xiaowu, his body recovered a little, but his face was still pale, but looking at Zuo Xiang Zhang Kuan, who staggered out, he couldn't help sighing, and greeted him: "Zuo Xiang, I'm tired." ”

Zhang Kuan's face was expressionless, and he sighed: "Is this serious? ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "I also thought it was fake, but it was true." ”

Zhang Kuan said eagerly: "Lord Shaobao, you know that he has always admired you, he is obsessed with learning, and he is still organizing the Hanlin Academy and the Tai Academy to study the "Confucian Classics".

Zhang Xiaowu interrupted: "Zhang Biao, the son of Hengshui Boshi, that is, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy and a member of the Ministry of Rites, has been identified as a conspiracy to rebel, and he is the real culprit behind this conspiracy. Scholar Zhang secretly conspired with Wu Dong, Marquis of Liyang, Lu Kun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, Song Wei, Shangshu of the Ministry of Agriculture, Zhao Bu, the right attendant of the Ministry of War, Li Canglan, the lieutenant general of the Imperial Forest Army, and Sima Sifang, the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, to plot to kill the emperor and establish Xuanyuan Zichi, the king of Jin, as the emperor. If it weren't for the conclusive evidence, I would definitely not have made the decision to besiege Hengshui Bofu. Alas, uncle, please also make friends with the left and give birth to the son. ”
