For example, today, Emperor Shun has actually been controlled by the eunuchs of the internal officials and eunuchs, and the situation is already very critical, once Emperor Tianshun dies, those eunuchs can completely fake the edict, and those ill-intentioned ministers in the court should cooperate with the outside to depose the prince.

There are too many such episodes in history, and Liu Juntao also knows too much, so he has to guard against it.

Therefore, Liu Juntao made up his mind not to wait for those civilian officials to make the first move, but to attack first, using the list and evidence collected by the Ministry of Intelligence to attack those civilian officials first!

Pinggu County.

Liu Zi'an, Lan Siqi, Zhang Yuqing, Xiang Qun, Huang Wu, and several shogunate ministers, as well as Bai Yuxing and Tao Jixin, two generals, rushed to gather in the small courtyard where Liu Juntao lived in the city.

Outside the house and the courtyard, the soldiers of the Long Xiang Army had been closely guarded and blocked all the surroundings.

"Ladies and gentlemen! According to the Ministry of Intelligence, His Majesty has now been restrained by the eunuchs of the internal officials, and it is very likely that those eunuchs have reached some kind of agreement with the civil officials of the outer courts! ”

Several people couldn't help but gasp, which showed that these civil officials and eunuchs could abolish the crown prince at any time, or even ......

For a while, everyone was anxious, and Liu Juntao also continued: "Therefore, this constitution has decided: Lei Gong's plan to start ahead of schedule!" ”

The so-called Lei Gong Plan is a huge plan under the command of Liu Juntao, led by the Central Department, with the cooperation of the Military Department, the Intelligence Department, the Inspection Department, and the Zanhua Department, and the Longxiang Army, part of the Gyeonggi garrison, and the soldiers of the Tiance Army in Shanxi, Shandong, and Hanhai Prefectures.

Originally, Liu Juntao still had some concerns, and wanted to wait until those civil officials who were in turmoil to act first, and then launch a plan under the pretext of quelling the chaos, but the situation at this time no longer allowed Liu Juntao to continue to wait, and he had to plan in advance!

When everyone heard Liu Juntao's order, they all hugged their fists and took their lives.

Early the next morning, Song Chonggui, the former chief officer of Miyun Town, who had been promoted to the chief soldier of the Beijing battalion, came to Chaoyangmen with a team of personal guards as usual, which was the defense area where Song Chonggui returned.

Song Chonggui led people to inspect the city tower, and then said to the guards and generals here: "The weather is too hot in the past two days, let the brothers rest in advance, change the guard in advance!" ”

The general hesitated for a moment, and was about to say something, when he suddenly saw that the team of guards behind Song Chong was all holding the hilt of the sword, and they were all awe-inspiring, and they suddenly shuddered.

"Order! The subordinates will take people back! ”

The general didn't dare to say anything, and left directly with people.

"Let the brothers hold this place and wait for my orders!"

"Order!"

At the same time, Lu Changyi, the former chief military officer of Changping Town, was also transferred to the Beijing camp two years ago and served as the chief soldier of the Beijing camp.

That night, Liu Juntao set off from Pinggu County with two thousand Longxiang soldiers and came to Chaoyangmen with great fanfare.

At this time, Song Chonggui, the chief soldier of the Beijing camp, also wore heavy armor, came to support with 200 soldiers, and directly led people to block the city gate of Chaoyangmen, and began to deploy defenses here.

For a while, the entire capital woke up from the dark night, especially those civil officials who were planning to depose the prince, when they learned the news, all of them were bloodless, they never expected Liu Juntao to act like this, and he was stunned to bring troops to come, is Liu Juntao not afraid of leaving a stench for 10,000 years?

These civil officials have sent their families to connect with each other, and they have sent news to the Fusi of Beizhen and the palace, wanting to mobilize all the forces that can be persuaded to block Liu Juntao's soldiers and horses first.

However, none of the family members sent by these civil officials to Beizhen Fusi returned, and all of them were detained by Menda, the commander of Beizhen Fusi, and then all of them were thrown into Zhao Prison in the name of "thieves".

And those civil officials who rushed to the palace to deliver the letter were also stopped by Lu Changyi, the chief soldier guarding outside the noon gate, and couldn't help but say that they were all killed on the spot on the grounds of "breaking into the forbidden palace at night"!

These civil officials waited for nothing in return, and a deep fear suddenly rose in their hearts.

Suddenly, there were murders in the capital, and thousands of soldiers came out of nowhere, and these soldiers seemed to be led by someone, and they didn't pay attention to the ordinary people or ordinary courtiers, but went straight to the homes of the civil officials who secretly conspired and deposed the prince!

As a result, the Beijing garrison that had just assembled in the area of Chaoyang Gate suddenly panicked, and some of the soldiers and horses immediately withdrew to the city to stabilize the situation, and the remaining soldiers and horses were still stationed in the area of Chaoyang, and tens of thousands of troops confronted the two thousand Longxiang soldiers outside according to the strong city, which also looked quite wonderful.

At this moment, Song Chonggui, the chief soldier guarding the gate of Chaoyangmen, suddenly led his troops to open the city gate, and then led two hundred soldiers and his subordinates around Chaoyangmen to attack the surrounding soldiers and horses, and attacked the city.

Seeing this, Liu Juntao, who had been waiting outside the city for a long time, immediately waved his hand, and two thousand soldiers of the Longxiang Army rushed in and entered the city from Chaoyang Gate, and Liu Juntao also entered the city under the protection of a hundred heavily armored guards.

After the 2,000 soldiers of the Longxiang army entered the city, the chief military officer Song Chong returned to his headquarters to attack and open the way, and the 2,000 soldiers of the Longxiang army shouted in unison: "The traitors in the court and China intend to kidnap Your Majesty and depose the prince!" Marquis Dingxiang, Zuo Zhuguo, Doctor Guanglu, Secretary of the Military Department and Governor of Shanxi, Liu Juntao, led the army into the city to quell the chaos and protect His Majesty! Those who block and resist will be killed! ”

As soon as the roar passed, there was a deafening sound of birds, and a large number of soldiers and horses in the surrounding Beijing camp suddenly fell, and the rest of the soldiers and horses retreated.

These soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp originally fought with the soldiers of the Tiance army, and they all had the friendship of comrades, and then they were reorganized under the command of Liu Juntao, and they all admired Liu Juntao in their hearts.

Liu Juntao rode his horse to inspect the army, and then raised his long knife and roared: "Now that Your Majesty is in trouble, as a Ming tiger, we should save the driver, calm the chaos, calm the people, and kill the traitor!" Gentlemen, you are willing to go with this constitution to the rescue! ”

Tens of thousands of soldiers in the Beijing camp silently looked at Liu Juntao, who was swinging a sword and prancing on a horse, and suddenly burst into thunderous cheers, and the sound of victory was endless.

Liu Juntao was overjoyed when he saw this, so he ordered the chief military officer Song Chonggui to lead the general soldiers and horses, and the other half of the soldiers and horses were led by the chief military officer Lu Changyi, who was stationed outside the noon gate.

Then, Liu Juntao ordered Song Chonggui to lead his troops to take over the defense of the entire Beijing Division: "Those who dare to obstruct will be punished for collaborating with the enemy and treason, no matter who it is, they will be killed!" ”

"Order!"

Song Chonggui was already excited at this time, leading tens of thousands of troops to take over the defense of the nine gates of the capital in several ways, and there were bursts of roars and fighting in the dark night.

Liu Juntao didn't stay long, and directly sent a thousand soldiers of the Longxiang Army to the East Palace, surrounded the East Palace first, and protected the crown prince Zhu Jianshen.

Then, Liu Juntao led a thousand soldiers of the Longxiang Army, as well as the remaining tens of thousands of soldiers of the Beijing battalion, to the Forbidden City and joined the headquarters of Lu Changyi, the chief military officer stationed outside the noon gate.

At this time, the commander-in-chief Lu Changyi's department had already killed several waves of soldiers who came to seize the noon gate, all of which were soldiers and horses bewitched by civil officials.

After Liu Juntao led his troops to arrive, tens of thousands of troops blocked the Forbidden City, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving the Forbidden City.

"Humble duty is subject to military constitution!"

"Mr. Lu, please get up!"

Liu Juntao said: "These tens of thousands of troops are temporarily under the command of General Lu, let me guard here, and no one is allowed to approach the Forbidden City!" ”

"Order!"

At this time, a team came at night.

"Qi Qi Bingxian, all the rebels in the city have been taken down, and the soldiers of the first department are searching their homes!"

"Qiqi soldiers, most of the soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp in the city have been abandoned, a small number of stubborn soldiers and horses are resisting, and the soldiers of all departments have completed the siege and are in the process of encirclement and annihilation!"

"Qi Qi Bingxian, the nine gates inside and outside the capital have all been controlled, and the blockade of the capital has been completed!"

Listening to the good news one after another, Liu Juntao was also relieved, and led a thousand soldiers of the Longxiang Army to enter the Forbidden City from the noon gate, Liu Juntao must determine the situation of Emperor Tianshun in the first time, and there must be no accidents.

When Liu Juntao led his troops to the dormitory, Wang Jie, the eunuch of Bingbi, took more than 30 little eunuchs to guard outside the main hall of the dormitory, looking at the 1,000 soldiers of the Longxiang army who rushed in, these eunuchs immediately blew up their nests, and they all fled in all directions.

Liu Juntao said coldly: "Arrest them all for me!" ”

The surrounding soldiers of the Longxiang army pounced one after another, and none of the dozens of eunuchs escaped, and Wang Jie, the eunuch of Bingbi, was also arrested.

When he saw Liu Juntao, Wang Jie was about to speak, but Liu Juntao suddenly drew his knife and killed him on the spot.

Then, Liu Juntao walked into the main hall and saw Emperor Tianshun, who had fallen into a coma.

Liu Juntao called a few words softly, but Emperor Tianshun never woke up, Liu Juntao also sighed softly, and said to a thousand general managers beside him: "Immediately find some reliable imperial doctors to keep watch day and night, and when the palace calms down, immediately find the prince and cabinet ministers!" ”

"Order!"

After arranging, Liu Juntao went to the Yamen of the Ministry of War, preparing to deal with the aftermath, after all, there was such a big thing in the capital overnight, and he had to take care of the finishing touches, at least let the various departments of the Tiance Army move, and it was still necessary to deter the soldiers and horses in various towns.

But just one day after Liu Juntao gave the order, the news of Yingzong's death suddenly came, and Liu Juntao was immediately shocked.
