Although Downing has been in this world for a long time, there are some times when the habits that come from the depths of the soul have not changed.

For example, when he suddenly hears something unbelievable, he will subconsciously bring with him the habits of his previous life.

It's not that he's making a fuss, it's just that what he said in the letter is so terrifying that he shudders when he sees it.

"Tomorrow's festival, Ximen Erxin, King Kang will rebel."

The letter is short, but it explains the time, place, people, and events to come.

Tomorrow morning, at the festival, King Kang united with the Ximen guards and wanted to rebel, and the Ximen here may refer to the right Ximen guard, or the left Ximen guard, or both.

Tomorrow is one of the few opportunities for Emperor Chen to leave the imperial city, and at that time, he will bring more than 100 guards with him, and the safety of the festival will be handed over to the right Ximen guard.

The forbidden army was originally the emperor's personal guard, would he suspect that the personal guard had rebelled?

Obviously not, the guards responsible for the security of the emperor and ministers have become rebels, which is to wipe out the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, the emperor, and the princes.

If King Kang succeeds tomorrow, then the history of Chen will be rewritten, he only needs to capture Emperor Chen, kill King Huai, Duan Wang, and King Run, and there will be no one in Beijing to compete for the throne for him anymore.

When the time comes, he only needs to force Emperor Chen to write an edict to the throne, and he will be the new emperor.

Downing held the letter in his hand, not doubting its authenticity in the slightest.

The words on the letter were ugly, such a letter Downing had seen two before, although he didn't know who the person who sent the letter was, but several times he reminded him that he obviously had no ill will towards himself.

It's just that this time the timing of his reminder is too accurate.

The Jingshi was about to have a curfew, and it was only five hours before the festival began, so why didn't he wait until tomorrow morning to remind him?

This is about his net worth and life, he would rather believe it than believe it, even if only one percent is likely to be true, Tang Ning can't be sloppy in the slightest.

Tang Ning's face was serious, and he was about to step into the door of the mansion, when suddenly a little girl ran from the side of the street, handed him a letter, and then ran away quickly.

When Tang Ning stopped her, the little girl didn't know anything, but said that someone asked her to send him a letter at the price of a sugar gourd.

He let the unsuspecting little girl go, looked around, opened the envelope, and looked a little stunned.

The letter is more concise, with only six words on it.

"King Kang wants to rebel, be careful!"

The letters, one neat and one scribbled, were made of different papers, and were obviously not written by the same person, and there was no need for the same person to remind him twice.

But who is this person?

Tang Ning couldn't understand that King Kang wanted to rebel, they didn't report to the court, they didn't report to Emperor Chen, what was the use of telling him?

Although I don't know what they think in their hearts, but then again, King Kang's rebellion was too much of a failure, and the rebellion should have been carried out in secret, so how did his rebellion become known to everyone......

Tang Ning put away the two letters, looked at the sky, did not dare to delay any longer, and after returning home, he quickly prepared the carriage and horses and went straight to Xiao's mansion.

Shaw House.

Lu Ya lay comfortably on the chair, Xiao Jue stood behind him, pinching here, pinching there, pinching, while pinching, he asked: "How is it, is the strength heavy, do you want me to lighten it?" ”

Lu Ya stuffed a grape into his mouth and said, "It's just right if it's not light or heavy, go on......"

At one point, a figure suddenly walked in from the outside and appeared in the room.

Xiao Jue looked at Tang Ning, and after being stunned for a moment, he withdrew his hand, rubbed his wrist, and said, "Why is my hand a little sore, I have to move......

"Don't pinch it, I have something important to look for you." Downing glanced at him and walked out into the courtyard.

Xiao Jue saw that his face was serious and he didn't move his wrist anymore, so he ran out quickly and asked, "What happened?" ”

Tang Ning said: "At the festival tomorrow morning, King Kang will rebel. ”

"What!" Xiao Jue's face changed greatly, and he said, "Then don't you go and report to Your Majesty!" ”

"Wait." Tang Ning grabbed him and said, "I just heard the news, and I can't be sure yet." ”

Xiao Jue said: "Then I have to tell Your Majesty!" ”

Tang Ning asked, "Your Majesty asked you how you know, what do you say?" ”

Xiao Jue looked at him and said in surprise: "Didn't you tell me?" ”

Tang Ning rubbed his eyebrows, gritted his teeth and said, "Are you a pig?" ”

If the news he received was wrong, and King Kang didn't want to rebel, then the imperial court had prepared a festival for many days, and it was completely stirred, but it was not the most serious, and the serious one was the crime of slandering the rebellion.

What's more, before King Kang rebelled, everyone didn't know if he would rebel, half of the probability of him being against him, and half of the possibility of not rebelling, before the festival, the probability of him being against or not against him was half, and only when he really rebelled, the possibility of the former would become 100%.

It's a pity that Xiao Jue's pig brain doesn't understand quantum mechanics, otherwise he should have understood that this is Schrödinger's rebellion, before the festival happened, no one knew whether King Kang was against or not, and no one could put this hat on him.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, if King Kang dies and doesn't admit it, who should take the blame for this matter?

Xiao Jue finally realized this problem, looked at Tang Ning, and asked, "Then what should we do?" ”

When Tang Ning came, he had already thought of a plan, and said: "You go out of the city immediately, go to the Zuo Xiao cavalry camp, dispatch half of the soldiers, and go up the mountain from the back mountain of the West Mountain overnight." ”

Xiao Jue thought for a while and asked, "West Mountain and Back Mountain, isn't that a cliff?" ”

Tang Ning explained: "Because it is a cliff, the guards there are weak, after you climb up, be careful to lurk in the forest, and wait for my news tomorrow." ”

Xiao Jue nodded and said, "I'll go right away!" ”

The soldiers of Zuo Xiao's cavalry battalion were personally trained by Lao Zheng, and their individual soldiers and team combat abilities were far better than the rest of the guards, and half of them were enough to deal with tomorrow's situation.

Tang Ning had no way to tell Emperor Chen that King Kang wanted to rebel, first, there was no direct evidence, and second, he couldn't explain why he knew that King Kang was going to rebel, and this matter could only be told to Emperor Chen when the crisis passed tomorrow.

Out of the Xiao family, he went to the Han family and the Ling family again, and informed them of the matter in advance, the left and right Ximen guards added up to nearly 10,000 people, and they must not be the opponents of the other fourteen guards, so King Kang must want a quick victory, but if there is a stalemate for a while, when the left Ximen guards and them converge, the gaffe will be difficult to control.

It wasn't until just before curfew that Downing returned home.

I thought that King Kang was either decadent, or changed his mind and became a new man, but I didn't expect him to be plotting a rebellion, and he took the timing so accurately.

It can be said that if there is no preparation in advance, King Kang has a good chance of success this time, and tomorrow's festival may be a bloody festival for the royal family surnamed Zhao, and it will also be a disaster for Chen Guo.

If King Kang's rebellion succeeds, Chen Guo will be in chaos, and when the time comes, the Western Regions and Western Tibet, there is a high probability that they will take advantage of the weakness, Chen Guo has internal worries in the near future, and there are external troubles in the distance, I am afraid that it will not last long.

Tonight will be a sleepless night for many.

There were two pieces of letter paper on the table in front of Tang Ning, he rubbed his eyebrows, and muttered, "Who could it be......"
