"Is this all over?"

Li Pu sat in the rockery pavilion, looking at the flames in the direction of Jingjiang and Jinghaimen in the north, and asked himself in a daze.

"Grandpa Guo, the Marquis of Xinjin, Zhou Shilang and the people in the aunt's mansion have all run away, and they all seem to have gone to Jinghai Gate, but there is no movement in the Linjin Marquis's Mansion, and the gate is closed." At this time, a few old servants pushed open the courtyard gate of the deserted garden, ran to the rockery with sweaty profusely, and replied.

"I know, you go to the Linjin Marquis Mansion to report a message, just say Li Pu, I can't live with them, the Li family is completely finished, tell them to quickly pack up their things and run away." Who wants to be able to help the Li family save a few lives, and Li Pu kowtowed to him under Jiuquan. Li Pu said in a hoarse voice, and suddenly pulled out the saber at his waist and reached it to his neck.

"Grandpa Guo!" The two old servants exclaimed.

A knife light slashed, blood burst out, Li Pu's anger was not broken, he still stared at the direction of Jinghaimen, which was caught in the sea of fire, and after a few breaths, his body fell backwards with a "plop", and the blade that had followed him for half his life in his hand also slipped down......

"The eldest son of the emperor is young but smart, and the noble concubine Wang is virtuous and virtuous, all of whom are favored by His Majesty.......

At extraordinary times, there is no so-called "standing up for a long time", but choosing one between the eldest prince and the third prince always requires a high-sounding rhetoric.

On the main hall of the political affairs hall, Shen Yang raised his head, Yang Zhitang, Yang En and many ministers resigned one after another, and the matter of supporting the emperor's eldest son Yang Bin to ascend the throne and succeed to the throne was settled.

"The top priority is to eliminate the anti-party, and in the palace ban, it has been mastered and infiltrated by the anti-party for a long time, and it needs to be thoroughly investigated, so this matter will require Lord Zhang and Lord Jiang to work tirelessly......" Shen Yang said to Zhang Ping and Jiang Shu again.

"Your Majesty was assassinated, and the two of us are incapable of protecting each other, which is a capital crime, and I am ashamed of the first emperor, and I dare not steal the position of the inner court again, and I also ask Shen Xiang, Prince Shou and the Queen Mother to choose another meritocracy. The two of us only wish to be able to watch the lamps and refuel before the tombs of the first emperor and His Majesty......" Zhang Ping is only in his fifties, but his sideburns are frosty white, one sleeve hangs in front of him, and Jiang Yu, who is a little rickety in his body, stepped forward and bowed in thanks.

Zhang Ping and Jiang Shu were in charge of the palace forbidden affairs at this time, when they were in charge of the palace ban affairs as internal eunuchs and young eunuchs, and they actually begged to go at this moment, everyone looked at each other, and Shen Yang and Yang Zhitang were a little caught off guard.

Who did Zhang Ping and Jiang get to report to save Li Yao is still one of the biggest doubts in the palace so far, but it does not prevent the two of them from gaining the trust of everyone.

Zhang Ping said that he was also an old subordinate of the Shenling Division, but in the battle of Xichuan, he did not hesitate to block the falling stones for Yang Yuanpu with his life.

And Jiang Shu had to be entrusted by the first emperor to be loyal to Yang Yuanpu's side.

The two of them are conscientious and conscientious, and their achievements over the years are also thick, even if they have a deep friendship with Han Qian, but Shen Yang and Yang Zhitang believe that they are still loyal to Da Chu, it is hard to imagine that they will only seek to guard the tomb for Emperor Yanyou at this time, and have no intention of participating in the palace ban and the rights and wrongs of the court?

Yang En frowned slightly, and when he saw Shen Yang and Yang Zhitang looking at each other, he only shook his head slightly at this time.

"In the past few years, both of us have been plagued by illness and begged to go many times, but Your Majesty has been unable to make the trip, this time we must ask Shen Xiang and Lord Shou to fulfill it." Zhang Ping and Jiang Shu said resolutely.

Zhang Ping and Jiang Yu begged to go, and Emperor Yanyou was afraid of leaving a notoriety of being unkind, so he never agreed, but in the inner court, Chen Ruyi, An Jixiang and others set Zhang and Jiang in the air, which is also a well-known secret.

It's just that everyone didn't expect that Zhang Ping and Jiang Shu would resolutely ask to go at this time.

Qingyang was also stunned, and couldn't help but think, there are no Zhang Ping and Jiang Shu, and there are six or seven thousand eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, who have neither enough qualifications nor enough trust from everyone, who will preside over the affairs of the inner court and palace, and who will be responsible for thoroughly investigating the hidden rebels among so many eunuchs and palace maids?

Although there are some trustworthy old people brought over from Shu by her side, she can also understand with her toes that Shen Yang and Yang Zhitang will never let the Shu people fully take charge of the inner court of Great Chu.

Of course, as one of the few people here who really grasped the inside story, Qingyang was also more able to speculate on the thoughts of Zhang and Jiang at this time, thinking that they might have decided that the person who gave them the news must be the secret pile of Tangyi lurking beside Lu Qingxia, and they didn't want to live up to the trust of the first emperor and His Majesty, and they didn't want to make enemies with Tangyi, so they resolutely asked to go at this time, right?

Qingyang looked at Shen Yang and Yang Zhitang again, his brows were deeply locked, as if he was thinking, his heart was tight, worried that the two of them would come back and forth, and things would repeat again, so he couldn't help but look at Yun Puzi with some worry.

"Lord Zhang and Lord Jiang insist on guarding the mausoleum for the first emperor and His Majesty, and there are no more ministers in the inner court to rely on," Han Daoming sat at the bottom of Yang Zhitang and said in a deep voice, "Han thinks that the only plan for the present is to temporarily change the Inner Servant Province to the Yamen of the Inner Servant Mansion, and Yang En, the Marquis of Liyang, will serve as the Minister of the Inner Servant Mansion, temporarily take charge of the affairs of the Inner Court, and thoroughly investigate the palace blood case, Shen Xiang, Shou Wangye, the two Queen Mothers and the adults, what do you think?" ”

When Han Daoming made such a suggestion, everyone was stunned, and everyone's minds were diverged.

It seems that there is no precedent in the history of changing the eunuchs and appointing the old ministers of the clan to take charge of the forbidden affairs of the inner court, and it is also a disagreement with the law system of the Great Chu, but after thinking about it, I feel that there is nothing wrong with it.

This may be the most appropriate compromise to deal with the complex and chaotic situation of the inner court, and it can even effectively prevent the eunuchs from arbitrarily exercising power and colluding with foreign ministers, which also shows that the Han family and Tangyi have no loss.

On the other hand, Zhang Ping and Jiang Shu insisted on begging, except for Yang En, who was responsible for the thorough investigation of the palace change blood case, which everyone can rest assured?

Shen Yang and Yang Zhitang frowned and saw that Yang En also bowed slightly, and did not refuse to be in charge of the affairs of the inner court, so they looked towards Qingyang.

Qingyang glanced at Huang E and said, "Empress Huang and I are both women's families, such a big matter, listen to the decisions of Shen Xiang, Prince Shou and all the ministers......"

"This may be expedient," Shen Yang pondered for a while, and also felt that what Han Daoming said was feasible, and then lowered his eyebrows and looked at the sleeves of his robe in front of the case for a while, and said to Yang Zhitang, "The new emperor is young, if he can grow up to be a pro-government in ten years, he will invite the queen mother to listen to the government according to the old system." The Wang family is the mother of the new emperor, and should be respected as the queen mother, and the Huang family is the main palace of His Majesty, or can be respected with the Wang family, Shou Wangye, what do you think? ”

Shen Yang's words really shocked Qingyang, hugged Bin'er in his arms, and subconsciously looked at Yun Puzi, Han Daoming, and Qin Wen.

The two empress dowagers respect each other, which not only means that Huang E will directly take away her prestige as the biological mother of the new emperor and the authority to listen to politics in the court. More importantly, Huang E also has a son, once there is any trouble, there will be another bloody case of the emperor changing hands in the court.

Besides, with Huang E and the third prince Yang Ye as substitutes, Shen Yang, Yang En, Yang Zhitang and others really want to abolish their mother and son and replace them with a new emperor in the future, and it will be easy.

Could it be that Zhang Ping and Jiang Huo's resolute request to go really made Shen Yang suspicious?

Thinking of this, Qingyang's frightened heart bred a sense of resentment, but before she could make any changes, Yun Puzi shook his head at her slightly, signaling her not to act rashly.

Qingyang suppressed the resentment in her heart, and also knew that her position was so unstable that she couldn't directly argue with Shen Yang.

Thinking of this, Qingyang glanced at Han Daoming's side, and saw that he seemed to be thinking about something, but she didn't have the intention of standing up against it, she could only suppress the dissatisfaction in her heart first, sit on the top, and put on a look of listening to Shen Xiang and King Shou commanding the overall situation.

Of course, others can only see that there is interaction between her and Yun Puzi, but they don't think there is anything about it.

Why Yun Puzi can be the lord of Chongfu and enter and leave the palace is also a well-known secret in the court.

And Qingyang has a full stomach of opinions about Shen Yang's proposition, which is not surprising, who wants to share the right to listen to politics with others? But seeing that she could sit still at this time, she did not directly question it, and in the eyes of everyone, she still knew the general situation.

Yang Zhitang was somewhat hesitant, after all, the two palaces were respected together, which was also an unprecedented precedent in the past.

Seeing that Yang Zhitang and many others hesitated, even if Shen Yang didn't mention some unspeakable hidden worries, he further explained other reasons for his assertion at this time.

In addition to Huang E as the main palace of Emperor Yanyou, Shen Yang also mainly considered Huanghua as the ambassador of Hunan Xingshangshu Province to be loyal to Emperor Yanyou in recent years, and whether it is the Huang family or Jiangdong held by the Jiangdong family, it should become the cornerstone of the Great Chu Dynasty together with Hunan Xingshangshu Province for a long time.

Even though Shen Yang has been working hard to promote the children of Hanshu all these years, he has to recognize clearly that only when Jiangdong, Jiangxi, and Hunan, which occupy more than half of the territory of Great Chu and account for more than three-quarters of the population, are stabilized, can they have a little confidence that the overall situation of Great Chu is still under their control.

In addition to the benefits of the Huang family and the Jiangdong family, this matter does not harm the interests of others, and no one stands up to oppose it.

And since Huang Mo is respected as the queen mother, and Huang E has the third prince Yang Ye, in order to prevent the Huang family from having any unnecessary ambitions to launch a new bloody palace change, it is necessary to remove Huang Xi and the children of the Huang family and the Jiangdong family from the guard pro-army system responsible for the imperial city and the Gyeonggi garrison.

There is no need for Han Daoming or Qingyang and others to mention it, Shen Yang directly advocated that Zuo Wuxiang's army be included in the forbidden army system, relocated to Chizhou, with Huang Xi as the commander of the capital and the assassin of Chizhou, and temporarily responsible for chasing the rebellion and rebellion, which can be regarded as a fairly fair check and balance for the Huang family.

Of course, there is another intention for this arrangement, that is, to use the Zuo Wuxiang army to defend the western flank of Gyeonggi, and suppress the Tangyi army may have ambitions, which is also a reason that cannot be openly declared.

Regarding such an arrangement, Han Daoming only raised his eyes slightly, and did not object; Others will not object.

Huang Xi and several officials close to the Huang family had no way to oppose such an arrangement; After all, Huang E's ability to listen to politics is already a big gain that they didn't expect.

…………

…………

In view of the chaotic command of the guards and pro-army tonight, and the situation that the departments were in their own affairs, Shen Yang discussed with everyone and decided to change the guards and pro-army division to the Governor's Office of the guards and pro-army Ma Bujun, and nominated Du Chongtao as the governor of the guards and the army, with Guo Liang and Zhang Han as the deputy governors, and Xue Ruogu, Qin Wen and other ministers as the military envoys of the capital supervisors, and fully took charge of the palace ban, the imperial city and the Gyeonggi Su garrison.

The left and right Wuyi armies did not have a commander, led by ten Duyu marquis, who directly accepted the transfer of the Governor's Mansion of the guards and pro-army; In the future, the Gyeonggi Garrison Department will be directly expanded on the basis of the ten capitals of the guards.

This is actually something that Shen Yang has wanted to do for a long time, and he has also communicated with Yang En and Yang Zhitang, there was no such condition before, and the opposition was too loud, but this time it was a good opportunity to carry out a more thorough restructuring of the guards and pro-army.

Huang Liang and Zuo Wuxiangjun were going to be eliminated from the guard pro-army system anyway, Guo Liang and Zhang Han were Ming Sheng, and their control of the guard and pro-army would be greatly restricted, but with the performance of the two of them tonight, they did not have the confidence to stand up against it at this time.

Zhang Han thought about it, and a more stable Dachu would not harm the interests of the Zhang family, so he did not speak out against it.

It wasn't until the sky revealed the white of the fish's belly that the preliminary discussion was completed.

Qingyang also slept Bin'er in her arms, and she and Huang E also stayed in the political hall all night and did not return to the palace to rest; Besides, at this time, there was no other place in the Imperial City, and it could give them more security than the Political Affairs Hall.

At this time, many fires in the imperial city gradually subsided, and Du Chongtao also officially exercised the authority of the governor of the pro-military government, and assigned the generals to take over the defense of the Jingjiang and Jinghai gates that were broken through by the rebellion, and soon received a reply from the generals: "The queen mother was held hostage by the rebels and rebels, and boarded a ship from the official ship dock controlled by the Weaving Bureau and fled east along the Yangtze River; Under the Jinghai Gate, the body of the Marquis of Linjin was found, and it seemed to have been killed by the rebels......"

From Zhang Ping and Jiang Shu escorting Li Yao to appear, everyone of course knew in their hearts that Li Changfeng and Li Xiu were chess pieces kept in the dark by Lu Qingxia from beginning to end, Li Xiu was captured in Shangshu Province, and Li Changfeng was in Chongwen Hall at that time, if he was unwilling to be held hostage by Lu Qingxia and others, or tried to resist and break free from the control of Lu Qingxia and others, it would not be unimaginable that his head would be different.

Chen De, An Jixiang and a group of eunuch generals escaped from Jinghaimen with Lu Qingxia and others, as for whether they were forced to agree to join Lu Qingxia after their lives were threatened, or they were temporarily imprisoned by Lu Qingxia, or they had already conspired with Lu Qingxia to change the palace, the difference is not too big.

What really caused people a headache was Lu Qingxia, who did not go up the river and fled to Xiangbei, but went down the river......

Everyone can understand with their toes broken, where is Lu Qingxia going and what is he doing?

Lu Qingxia coerced the Queen Mother, Chen De, An Jixiang and others, as well as the "Second Prince", rushed to Huaidong at this time, and they didn't have to think about it, they would definitely frame them for plotting to launch a palace rebellion after they saw Yang Yuanyan, the king of letters, and then ask King Yang Yuanyan to send troops to Qin Wang Kanchao; Or maybe Lu Qingxia may go one step further and directly send an edict in the name of the Queen Mother to the world to enshrine Yang Yuanyan, the king of Lixin, as the emperor, what are they going to do?

Before, everyone still had the confidence to dispatch troops and eat the Xiangbei army to death with Tangyi, but if Xiangbei and Huaidong raised troops together, and used the Queen Mother and the "Second Prince" to encourage the states and counties that did not know the truth, who could ensure that Dachu would not fall into a divided war again?

Qin Wen was also secretly anxious, thinking that Lu Qingxia was really a powerful opponent, sending the Queen Mother and the second prince into Huaidong, even if Yang Yuanpu did not move, he could contain the guards and the army, the right dragon army and the considerable Tangyi army in the east flank, and did not dare to act rashly, and the court would naturally not be able to gather enough troops to suppress Xiangbei in the future, so Li Zhihe would still have room to move according to Xiangliang and other states.

Before the guards and pro-army blockaded the imperial city, Yang Zhitang could not send an order to the Right Dragon Wu Army to block the Yangtze River waterway downstream of Aoshan Island in advance, and at this time, it was impossible to send an order to the sailor warship transferred to the Right Dragon Wu Army in time to intercept Lu Qingxia and them before they entered the ditch, so I don't know if Tangyi expected this scene in advance.

Yang Zhitang didn't know what Qin Wen was thinking, so he looked at Shen Yang and asked hesitantly:

"Send the minister to Chuzhou to see King Xin?"

The truth of the palace change is irrelevant, they didn't guess that Lu Qingxia would flee to Huaidong before, mainly because the Youlongwu army controlled the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in Runzhou in the south, and the Tangyi army was stronger and stronger according to Chuchao, and Yang Yuanyan, the king of letters, should not dare to act easily, but Lu Qingxia was beyond their expectations, coercing the queen mother and the "second prince" to Huaidong, they can be sure that Yang Yuanyan will not be bewitched to fight a big one?

"The decree is that the Youlongwu army and the Tangyi army will defend Runzhou and Chuzhou, and then send an envoy to Chuzhou to see King Xin, I believe that King Xin will not distinguish between right and ......wrong," Han Daoming said leisurely.

Although Han Qian repeatedly emphasized that he would do his best to prevent Dachu from falling into civil strife, and repeatedly emphasized that the timing of Tangyi's dispatch of troops to Hehuai could not be delayed, even if Han Daoming no longer advocated that Tangyi send troops to Hehuai at this time, he would not oppose Han Qian.

However, if the situation is destined for Tangyi to pacify the rebellion in Huaidong and Xiangbei first, this may not be a good thing for Tangyi and the Han family.

"I'll go to Chuzhou." Yang En said with some exhaustion.

"I wrote a letter and sent it to Chuzhou, hoping that the king of letters can distinguish between right and wrong," Shen Yang said with a solemn expression......

In his heart, he had the idea of supporting King Lixin, but now that the situation in the imperial city had finally settled down, it was impossible for them to have any other choice, and he did not allow Yang En to take risks easily.

If King Xin didn't make any changes, if he had the intention of detaining Yang En, then he would really be alone in Jinling.

At this time, Xue Ruogu walked in and reported that under the supervision of him and several civil officials, the soldiers and horses of the whole city to hunt down the rebel party were ready, and they could go out of the imperial city in all directions to wipe out the accomplices who remained in the city and did not have time to escape.

Of course, what can be done at this time is only to raid the mansions of Chen De, Zhou Yuan, Xu Jing, Xinjin Marquis Li Zhihe, Linjin Marquis Li Changfeng and Changguo Gong in Jinling City.

Even if everyone knew that Li Changfeng and Li Xiu were used as gunmen, no one was willing to give up the opportunity to completely influence Li Changfeng, Li Xiu, and Changguo Gong Li Pu and others in the army; After the abolition, Li Yao will find a random place to imprison him, or let him guard the tomb for Emperor Yanyou for the rest of his life.

Shen Yang was about to ask the two empress dowagers to issue an edict, and at dawn they took out the imperial city in advance to take over the main city and the key defense of Guocheng, and several generals who were waiting for the imperial city to take over the defense of Guocheng, at this time they sent people to report that the families of Li Zhihe, Zhou Yuan, Xu Jing, Zhou Shu, Zhong Yanhu, Chen De, Chai Jian and others had already left the city from Jinghaimen and joined Lu Qingxia and other rebels.

These people were either prepared for the failure of the palace change in advance, or Lu Qingxia sent someone over to notify them as soon as the situation reversed, and they were worried about being purged afterwards, so they finally chose to escape from Jinling City with Lu Qingxia.

Regardless of their original intentions, from the moment they escaped from Jinling City, they were equated with the rebel party.

Only the families of Li Changfeng, Li Xiu, Li Zhen and others remained in the city at this time.

Maybe it was Li Xiu who was captured as the head, or Li Changfeng did not give in when he was dying, and the family members and soldiers in their house did not see their handwritten letters, hesitated, and missed the opportunity to escape from Jinling City in time.

Or perhaps it was Li Yu's strict management of his family during his lifetime, so that even if these people faced the test of life and death, they still did not choose to defect to Dachu.

And the first out of the imperial city to guard the army generals, sent people to rush to the Changguo Mansion, found that the Changguo Duke Li Pu had been in the deserted garden, but was robbed by the Linjin Marquis Mansion in front of them to take away the body, the two sides met in the alley, and there was a big fight, the guards were killed, killed and injured more than a dozen people, and specially ordered to encircle and suppress the Linjin Marquis Mansion.

"I am willing to lead my troops to kill him!" Huang Wei stood up and asked.

Li Changfeng was in a different place, and dozens of military attachés from the county prince's mansion in the guards were also arrested with Li Xiu, and even if the Linjin Marquis Mansion merged with Li Xiu, Li Zhen and the Changguo Mansion There are still one or two hundred elite soldiers, but it is also a matter of time to transfer the elite of the guards and the army to clean up.

Although the situation in Great Chu is stable, and after a hundred years of Emperor Yanyou, the throne may not necessarily fall to the descendants of his Huang family, but the situation is better than now, and in the end, Huang Wei also resents Li Xiu for acting for the tiger last night.

And he commanded Zuo Wuxiang's army to be mostly elbowed by Li Xiu, and even won the military exploits of Liangzhou, under the control of Li Changfeng, Li Zhihe and others, he failed to get a piece of the pie, how could there be no resentment in his heart?

Again, if Li Changfeng and Li Xiu are not stared to death on the pillars of the rebellious party at this time, how will he happily eradicate the remnants of the Junwang Mansion from the Zuo Wuxiang Army in the future?

Shen Yang shook his head and said: "Li Yu, the king of Zhedong County, is loyal to Dachu, even if his son is suspected of helping to abuse him, his crime will not cause the Yi clan to ......."

Li Changfeng was already in a different place at this time, Li Xiu had been detained, even Shen Yang wanted to completely eliminate the Li family's power and influence in the army afterwards, but in the end, he couldn't bear to kill the Marquis of Linjin's mansion without leaving a piece of armor.

Needless to say, Yang En's attitude, even if Yang Zhitang, Du Chongtao, Zhou Bingwu and others wanted to liquidate the remnants of the palace in Zhedong County, no one was willing to directly attack and leave a bad reputation.

But the problem is that Li Changfeng, the Marquis of Linjin, was in a different place, Li Pu killed himself, and the soldiers of the Hou Mansion snatched Li Pu's body, killed and injured more than a dozen people of the guards, and then resisted behind closed doors.

However, Lu Qingxia was holding the Queen Mother and the "Second Prince" hostage to Huaidong at this time, in order to avoid sudden changes in Jinling City and any more troubles, they absolutely could not tolerate the stubborn confrontation of the Linjin Marquis Mansion to drag on, and they must deal with it decisively and simply......
