Chapter 49: Bringing troops into the palace

At this time, Zhang Zhao, who had just come out of the edict prison, took the horse from Lu Qi's hand: "Go back and tell the old ancestor!" The son will definitely be able to bring the forbidden soldiers into the palace! Although, Zhu Houzhao dismissed our family, but now no one knows about the forbidden soldiers, and when the time comes to bring them into the palace, they will be guilty of rebellion, and they can only follow our family to do it! What's more, our family will promise them benefits! ”

As he spoke, Zhang Zhao rode his horse to the main camp of the forbidden soldiers.

Some of the officers and soldiers of the forbidden soldiers only saw that Zhu Houzhao, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, had a sergeant rushing out to assassinate the emperor in front of the noon gate, but they did not know the specific details, and now they are also returning to the camp to rest, so this also gives Zhang Zhao an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Zhang Zhao also rushed to the forbidden soldiers before Liu Jin and Xu Jin, the secretary of the military department, arrived, and also summoned the governors and commanders of the forbidden soldiers' four guard battalions and warrior battalions, as well as the eunuchs sitting in the camp, and urgently ordered them to immediately gather all the departments and gather outside the Daming Gate.

The officers and soldiers at all levels of the forbidden army did not know that Zhang Zhao had been dismissed, and they all obeyed the order and began to assemble.

Zhang Zhao didn't talk nonsense, and rode around the Forbidden Soldiers Four Guards Camp and the Warrior Battalion, shouting:

"Soldiers of the battalions, our family is Zhang Zhao, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor's palm seal, many of you have seen our family, and our family is not polite, our family knows that your Lu rice has been owed for several months, and some people have not been able to live for many years, our family will tell you now, why did your Lu rice not be sent!

Because your Lu rice has been greedy for ink by the eunuch Liu Jin and others around the emperor! Now they are going to rebel! Now our family is under the emperor's command, follow our family into the palace, kill the eunuch Liu Jin and others, after the matter is completed, the emperor promises to send Lu rice! Go to the palace with our family! ”

Zhang Zhao shouted that he was about to ride his horse and rush towards the Daming Gate with the forbidden soldiers, but he found that the forbidden soldiers did not respond, not even the military attache who was close to him.

Zhang Zhao realized that something was wrong, but he still forced himself to calmly turn around and asked, "What's going on?" ”

At this time, a commander of the Xianzi battalion came to Zhang Zhao:

"Father-in-law, you have just come back, and the last general has not had time to tell you that His Majesty has already sent us Lu rice a few days ago, and it has been made up for three months or even one more month! It's even all real money! So what you just said makes us very puzzled! What does it mean to have no fat rice? However, what do you say someone is going to rebel against? Now, this new emperor seems to be good, and soon after he ascended the throne, he made up for our Lumi. ”

"That's right! This lord is right, our emperor is so good, who will rebel against him, if you want to say that the rebellion is the father-in-law Zhang in front of you! To be precise, it should not be called Zhang Gonggong now, but Zhang Zhao! ”

At this time, Liu Jin also rushed over with the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch with a smile on his face.

At this time, Liu Jin had changed into a three-mountain hat, put on the official uniform of a senior eunuch, and held Zhu Houzhao's secret decree, and at the same time, the eunuchs on both sides of the imperial horse prison also held the flag of customs defense and order.

Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the forbidden battalions knew at a glance that Liu Jin was really here with the emperor's order.

Zhang Zhao was stunned at first, he didn't expect Zhu Houzhao to send Lu Mi, during that time he had been supervising the repair of the imperial mausoleum, after all, he was the imperial horse supervisor in charge of internal affairs, and he could also take advantage of this to make money, after all, the repair of the imperial mausoleum has always been fat.

Therefore, Zhang Zhao instinctively wanted to directly scold the military attache for why he didn't send someone to tell him earlier, but at the same time, he was also surprised when Zhu Houzhao had the silver to distribute Lu rice, and he also reissued it for three months and one month, which cost 300,000 taels of silver!

Of course, Zhang Zhao didn't have time to think about how Zhu Houzhao did it now, he only knew that his plan to transfer troops into the palace had failed, and the military spirit of the Ming forbidden soldiers had become very calm because of the reissue of Lu Mi, and no one was willing to follow him into the palace to take risks.

Zhang Zhao had already expected him to fail, and he instinctively wanted to find an excuse to escape, but before he could find a reason to say it, he saw Liu Jin coming, and what he didn't expect was that Liu Jin was still holding the forbidden soldiers kept by the Imperial Horse Guard.

"By the Emperor's secret order! The battalions of the forbidden soldiers immediately listened to the dispatch of Liu Jin, the eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor's palm seal, entered the palace to escort the driver, and acted according to my orders! If there are those who do not follow, Liu Jin can cut first and then play! ”

After Liu Jin finished speaking, he looked at the officers and soldiers of the forbidden battalions.

The officers and soldiers of the battalions of the forbidden army were busy kneeling down under the leadership of the commander at this time: "Obey the order!" ”

Seeing this, Liu Jin made up his mind, and immediately glared at Zhang Zhao coldly: "Take Zhang Zhao down!" Escorted into the palace! In case of disobedience, summarily executed! ”

Zhang Zhao knew that he couldn't run away, and as soon as the whole person panicked, he immediately fell down, and before he came to his senses, he was lifted on the horse by the two pure soldiers of the imperial horse supervisor.

Liu Jin naturally didn't want to kill Zhang Zhao at this time, he was going to kill Zhang Zhao!

And this time.

Xu Jin, the secretary of the military department, Zhang Mao, the British duke, and Zhang Jie, the marquis of Taiping, also received the order from Zhang Yong at this time, and immediately summoned the commanders of the 12th regiment and battalion to assemble.

Xu Jin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Zhang Mao, the British public, and others all knew who Zhang Yong was, so they naturally believed Zhang Yong's words.

It stands to reason that the 12th Regiment Battalion is a heavy army in Gyeonggi, and it has always been an elite, so it must be issued by the Ministry of War before the commander of each battalion can mobilize the army.

And Zhu Houzhao first replaced the military department book with Xu Jin, which also contributed to his current smooth transfer of regimental battalions in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi.

That night, Xu Jin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, decisively issued an order to transfer troops, stamped the seal of the Ministry of War, and personally assembled the 12th regiment and battalion with Zhang Yong, British Gong Zhang Mao, and others.

Xu Jin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, led soldiers, and the British Duke Zhang Mao and others also led soldiers, and the efficiency was also very fast, and it didn't take long to come to Miyagi.

For a time, the two armies of the forbidden army and the twelve regiments and battalions came towards Miyagi.

The three elders of the cabinet also heard the footsteps of the army, and Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, only laughed: "It seems that Zhang Zhao has really started to act, I hope he and Wang Yue will not let us down, two cabinet elders, do you want to hear the news of His Majesty's violent death or do you want to hear the news of Liu Jin's ambush?" ”

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian both laughed proudly, among them, Li Dongyang looked at his protΓ©gΓ© Yang Tinghe: "Yang Tinghe has been in the East Palace for a long time, and now he is still a scholar of Zuo Chunfang University, and he can be regarded as a real teacher of His Majesty, presumably he would prefer to be Liu Jin's punishment!" ”

Yang Tinghe smiled slightly and did not speak.

And Xie Qian also smiled and said: "You listen to the footsteps are getting more and more dense, you can see that the palace today will really not be peaceful, tomorrow is the morning of the morning to carry out the consolation ceremony, I hope not to just put on auspicious clothes and change into decay clothes." ”

At this time, in the palace, the eunuch Wang Yue, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal, also got the news from Lu He.

"Ancestor, a large number of officers and soldiers have entered the imperial city," Lu He said.

Wang Yuegang, the eunuch who held the palm seal of the celebrant eunuch, washed his hands, was wiping it with a handkerchief, and immediately threw it into the basin: "Go and see Zhu Houzhao, you should be called the emperor, at least now!" ”
