Chapter 397: Prelude to a Coup d'état
"You mean, both the Great Sima and the Great General are going to leave Beijing?"
"Exactly, Your Majesty. This is the document submitted by the Great Sima and the Great General to Shangshutai. I also ask for Your Majesty's approval. ”
"Well, patrol the country, that's the right thing. Of course I did. This, is it just that the Great Sima and the Great General are out of Beijing? Are there any other important ministers who are also going to go out of Beijing? ”
"Shangshutai's side, is ready to send Shangshu's servant to shoot Pang Ziwei to follow Da Sima and others out of Beijing. In addition, each yamen in the court will send deputies to go out of Beijing to inspect together. There were 37 officials of more than 1,000 stones. If you add retinues, guards, or whatever, it should not be less than 1,000 people. ”
"Good, in this case, please use the seal first."
Although he is a minister, Guan Yi still does a good job of etiquette or something. For example, this time I went out of Beijing, although I just went to Liu Chan to go through the process. However, the application that should be submitted still needs to be submitted. As for whether Boss Liu will agree, hehe, what do you say?
He is the first to be the capital official of the Great Sima Mansion. He is also the keeper of the seals in the palace. The so-called "order to use the seal first" is to let Yin Zheng stamp the emperor's jade seal on the applications of Guan Yi and Jiang Wei. After this process was completed, Guan Yi and others' travel was procedurally legal.
After sending away Fan Jian, Hao Zheng and others, Liu Chan returned to his dormitory. After waving off the eunuchs and maids beside him, a figure appeared from the shadow in the corner of the dormitory: "Ma Heng, the left governor of Chen Yulin, pays a visit to Your Majesty." ”
"Bo Ying has worked hard. Guan Zifeng, Jiang Boyo and others are going to go on a large-scale patrol, you all know about it, right? ”
"The minister already knows."
"Well, if I'm not bad, after this trip. When these two guys come back, they are about to start preparing for the Eastern Expedition to the Jin Kingdom. At that time, there may be drastic changes in the personnel of the imperial court. My previous arrangements will be wiped out in an instant. So, I've decided, start it now! ”
"I understand. It's just that this specific strategy ......"
"If you want to launch it now, how many soldiers and horses can Bo Ying's side mobilize?"
“…… There are more than 200 people from his cronies. These people followed them after they were crowned. The honor and disgrace of the minister have long been one, so you can be absolutely assured. The minister was in charge of the left governor of Yulin for nearly two years, and attracted about seventy percent of the officers above the military marquis...... If you want to start an uprising, you can mobilize at least 700 men. ”
Ji Han's Feather Forest used to be a huge legion. The total number is no less than 30,000. However, because of the poor performance in Mianzhu Pass that year, it was forcibly reduced and replaced by Guan Yi after the Battle of Yang'an Pass.
At present, Ji Han's standing army near Chang'an is about 25,000 (the first battle of Xicheng was damaged). Among them, the Yulin Army has 5,000 people, divided into left, center, and right parts, which are commanded by Ma Heng, Ju Ning, and Ma Bing. The three men and horses took turns to enter the palace to guard according to the rules of rotation every ten days. The unattended troops retreated to the Yulin Army west of Chang'an and were stationed.
There are another 20,000 people near Chang'an, which is Ji Han's only mobile force at present. Its composition is more complicated, some of them are veterans of the perennial Northern Expedition under Jiang Wei, some are the essence of the Guanyi Revival Army, and some are some of the newly recruited locals after taking Guanzhong. This force is now commanded by Zhao Yi and is stationed on the north and south sides outside Chang'an. Since the composition of this unit has been completely disrupted, even Jiang Wei cannot command this unit alone. In addition to Guan Yi and Zhao Yi, who were able to command this army, only the governor of the palace, who was able to command this army, was simple and simple.
"Hey, seven hundred, hate. Bo Ying and Zhizheng have been working together for a while, do you think ......?"
The so-called uprightness is Ma Bing, the son of Ma Liang. This person was extremely heroic in the Battle of Xindu that year, so after the war, he was placed in the central government and was in charge of a part of the Yulin. After Zhuge Zhan and Yan Yu were killed, Hu Ji, Liao Hua, Zong Pre and others died of illness successively, and Huo Yi retreated to the second line. This is already one of the few people in Jingzhou who directly controls the army. His current position is the right governor of Yulin, and like Ma Heng, he controls one-third of Yulin. Under the premise that it is impossible for Governor Juning in the middle of Yulin to betray Guan Yi, his attitude is very important.
"The minister has tested this man several times. But this guy is as slippery as a loach. There is no explicit approval, and there is no explicit opposition. ”
"Hmph, this horseman! That's it, judging by this person's words and deeds, but he is not responsible. If we were to launch it, most of this person would stand still and watch the success or failure. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks the same."
"It's urgent, but I have to move. Bo Ying, I will also give you a secret. There are still many loyal ministers and righteous people in this big man. In addition to your 700 people, in this Chang'an City, I can also use about 3,000 or so generals from various families. ”
"Hmm...... Three thousand seven hundred people, suddenly launched, it is enough to control Chang'an City. However, Your Majesty, although the minister doesn't want to admit it, Guan Zifeng is not a waste like Cao Shuang. It is we who control Chang'an City, and he only needs to hear the news outside the city. It's definitely not going to be caught. You need to know that the current governors of various places in the Han Dynasty are all the so-called shareholders of the Fuxing Society. ”
"Of course, I have taken this into account, and controlling Chang'an City is only the first step. Hmph, I used to think that although Xun'er was stubborn, he was also a courageous person. As a result, I had the courage, but unfortunately I was too frivolous. If it weren't for me, there would have been other sons...... Regarding Guan Zifeng, Bo Ying does not have to worry. When he left Chang'an City this time, he didn't want to think about surviving here. Your mission is to firmly control Chang'an City! ”
"Got it!"
As the king of a country, Liu Chan has been the emperor for forty-eight years. In these years, due to the existence of Zhuge Liang and other powerful ministers, the years when he effectively controlled the country were actually only a short ten years.
But Liu Chan's feelings for Zhuge Liang and Guan Yi are completely different!
There are many reasons for this. But there are three fundamental reasons: First, Zhuge Liang is twenty-six years older than Liu Chan, and under normal circumstances, Zhuge Liang must have died in front of Liu Chan. So Liu Chan can boil slowly. And what about Guan Yi? He was twenty-six years younger than Liu Chan......
Second, although Zhuge Liang implemented the Guanxunism in Shu and Han Dynasty, which was based on solemnity and heavy law. But he himself was deeply limited by the Confucian program of monarchs and ministers. And what about Guan Yi? Didn't you see what the Roman scholars had to say? He shamelessly married a widowed sister-in-law, do you really think it's a joy between the two (Guan Yi: It's really a joy between the two loves, it's very simple to say that my eyes are confirmed, and she is the person I want to bite)? It's clear that she likes Liu Ling's identity as a princess!
Third, before Zhuge Liang hung up, Liu Chan had never held real power. What is the taste of power, Liu Chan did not know during the Zhuge Liang period. After Guan Yi became a minister, Liu Chan suddenly retreated from holding real power. The taste of this power is so sweet that anyone who has tasted it will be reluctant to let go!
So, while this guy saved the country. Although he led the country to achieve the goal that successive generations of ministers and generals have failed to achieve since the founding of the country, he completely solved the existential crisis of the country. However, this guy must die!
In Liu Chan's plan. Ma Heng's main task is to raid the incident and quickly take control of Chang'an City.
To control Chang'an City, you must first take down Ma Bing, Ju Ning, and Zhao Yi. As long as these three people are in hand, the army near Chang'an will not be able to move.
The second is to take down the Da Sima Mansion, where the most core staff team of Yi is concerned, and all the family members of the family. After this group of people is in control, even if the various forces in Chang'an City will not join the emperor's side, they will fall into a wait-and-see state.
In this way, Chang'an City is in hand. After Chang'an City is effectively controlled, it can issue an order to let the generals of Wenyang, Zhang Zun, Huangfu Min, Wang Mai and other places near Yongzhou return to the dynasty. After that, he was removed from his post and his military power was withdrawn.
On the other hand, it is necessary to exterminate Guan Yi and others. Of course, this matter has to be handed over to the bald Xianbei and Nan Anqiang......
