Chapter 476 is on the verge of breaking out

Cheng Qianli was taken down by the emperor from the position of the marshal of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate and sent back to the capital to wait for disposal. Chen Xian saw that Cheng Qianli was also an old minister of the Three Dynasties, but he didn't feel too embarrassed for him, but he was confined in the mansion, not allowed to go out, and not allowed to make friends with foreign ministers.

That's a little dispensable. Otherwise, Chen Xian could have taken advantage of the topic and imprisoned Cheng Qianli in the prison of the Criminal Department.

Although Cheng Qianli was not confined to him, the movements inside and outside the city and the government and the opposition could not hide from his ears.

Li Qi came to find his son Cheng Huoer, and he knew it.

And it was Li Qi who came here and slowly pushed open a door of ambition deep in Cheng Qianli's heart.

People's ambition is like this, if there is no right opportunity, the right occasion, and the right external environment, they may not even rise to the top for a lifetime. But once the conditions are ripe, budding growth is inevitable.

The news of the emperor's death was tantamount to rain from heaven for Cheng Qianli. If the emperor returned to the court, he would definitely be punished. Although he did not commit a capital crime, he was derelict in controlling the North Court, which led to the invasion of the North Court by the Turgish, and there was a festival of concealment, which can be described as a loss of power and humiliation of the country, and the dismissal and exile of 3,000 li is a predictable result.

Even, if the emperor is ruthless, he can also kill him, and even cause disaster to the nine clans.

Cheng Huoer sent Li Qi away and hurried to see his father.

"Father, Li Qi is gone." Cheng Huoer said in a low voice.

"What did he say?" Cheng Qianli raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice.

"He said that if the big thing is done, Li Tang will restore the country, and he should canonize his father as the head of the hundred officials and the lord of the county king." Cheng Huoer said, glanced at his father, and said, "Father, my son thinks that now is also an opportunity. The emperor died, the Manchu dynasty was in chaos, and now the people in the court are ready to move. If he waits for Guo Ziyi and the others to return to the court, I am afraid that no one in this court will be able to suppress him......"

"Father, the news from the army is true. The son thought that the reason why Guo Ziyi did not write the court and tried his best to hide the news of the emperor's death was nothing more than wanting to cover the sky with one hand and control the entire court. He is one of the six phases, and he is the secretary of the military department, the commander of the Western Expedition army, and his military achievements are impressive. ”

"Even, it is possible to replace him and claim himself emperor!" Cheng Huoer said hurriedly, "Time is not waiting for me, please think twice about my father!" ”

"Guo Ziyi is not this kind of person. He may become a powerful minister, but he will never usurp the title of emperor. The emperor died, and there was still a prince, Guo Ziyi must support the little prince in the palace to ascend the throne, and then take power on his own. It's just that although he is extremely powerful, and if he wants to cover the sky with one hand, I'm afraid it's not so easy, can someone surnamed Yang agree? ”

Cheng Qianli sneered, "A hooligan like Yang Guozhong is not easy to mess with. ”

Cheng Huoer rubbed his hands. In fact, he doesn't care about who is in power, Yang Guozhong and Guo Ziyi, what he cares about is how the Cheng family can stand out in this sudden turmoil, turn danger into disaster, and go straight to the pinnacle of power.

Cheng Qianli was silent. He is an old fritter in politics, and supporting Li Qi's restoration of the country is a rebellion, once the matter fails, the whole family will die without a place to be buried, so he can't be cautious. It's just that he is also on the edge of the cliff now, and if he doesn't advance, he will retreat, and there is an abyss behind him.

"Father, Li Qi is still waiting for his son's reply......" Cheng Huoer said in a low voice.

Cheng Qianli suddenly raised his head, "Don't rush first." Li Qi is also a character, he wants to restore the country, how can it be so easy, it is far from enough to count on us. Guessing for his father, he would definitely go to Yang Guozhong, but Yang Guozhong would definitely not go with him. I can't say, Yang Guozhong didn't even see him. ”

"The father and son of the Li family hate Yang Guozhong to the core, how can Yang Guozhong come back to help the Li family father and son restore the country. When Li Qi eats the closed-door soup from the Yang family, he will definitely come back again. ”

"At that time, my father can come forward to help Li Qi regain Li Tang's old days, choose the right time, control Zhongjing in one fell swoop, and change the dynasty and change ♀ the dynasty, most of them are Li Tang's old ministers, even Guo Ziyi is no exception. As long as Li Tang recovers, Guo Ziyi has no choice. ”

"It's just that the action must be fast, and it must be completed before Guo Ziyi's army returns to the Central Plains, otherwise, it will be a passing moment......" Cheng Qianli sighed, "Our move is a ruin, if we don't succeed, we will become benevolent, and we can't miss a little!" ”

"Please rest assured, father!" Cheng Huoer got an answer from Cheng Qianli, turned around and left excitedly, and stayed at home according to Cheng Qianli's instructions and waited for Li Qi to come to the door again.

……

……

Chen's house.

Chen Xian paced back and forth above the main hall, fidgeting. The situation in Zhongjing City is about to break out, and a big chaos is imminent.

Chen An, the eldest son of the Imperial Doctor, stood on the side and was silent.

Chen Xian suddenly stopped, turned around and stared at Chen An, and said in a deep voice, "Tong'er hasn't heard any news yet?" ”

Chen An shook his head. Chen Tong was in the army of the Western Expedition and was by the emperor's side, so the specific situation should be mastered. But Chen Tong has not sent any information back to his family so far, and there is no trace of the people sent by the Chen family to contact Chen Tong in the past.

"What's going on over there in the Cheng family?" Chen Xian asked again.

Chen An sighed lightly, "Father, Li Qi recently secretly visited Li Tang's old age, and today he went to Cheng Qianli's mansion again. There is no doubt that the Li family has the intention of recovering the country. ”

Chen Xian raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Idiot dreams!" ”

"Li Tang is all over the world, just because His Majesty Long Wei suppressed it. Now Your Majesty has an unpredictable ...... Li Qi ascended to the top and shouted, I'm afraid it would ......" Chen An said softly, "Father, why don't you contact Guo Ziyi and let Guo Ziyi enter Beijing quickly?" As long as Guo Ziyi leads the army back, the turmoil will be calm! ”

"Li Tang is old, ......" Chen Xian sighed with emotion, the new Chinese dynasty is new, and Li Tang is naturally old, this is not only a problem of the imperial family, but also many scholars and subjects who have illusions about the Li Tang court. The emperor has no thoughts about them, but the death of this wise and martial emperor makes these people's minds live.

Under the reckless risk, it is not impossible to support Li Tang's restoration.

"It's not that easy. Li Tang was just a rabble, without soldiers and power, and it was difficult to achieve great things. By the way, where is Yan Zhenqing at the moment? Chen Xian gritted his teeth.

"Back to his father's words, Yan Zhenqing mobilized Gyeonggi soldiers and horses in the name of training soldiers and horses, and when he was guarding the ‖ of the capital, he sent troops to strengthen the defense in the direction of Tongguan, probably to guard against Zhang Tong of Fan Yang."

Chen Xian was silent.

After a long time, he sighed and said, "Among the many courtiers of Your Majesty, I am afraid that Yan Zhenqing is loyal." In the capital of Gyeonggi, Yan Zhenqing controls the civil and military power, and has an army of 100,000 under his command, if Yan Zhenqing does not move, the capital will still not be in chaos after all, and it will not hurt the root! Moreover, the old man's ......"

Chen Xian's eyes flashed with some kind of strange light, "Your Majesty died suddenly and died on the battlefield, no matter how you look at it, this thing is weird. If it is false, Guo Ziyi is a capital offense if he does not immediately refute the rumors; But if there is no falsehood, wouldn't it be strange to let the emperor collapse in the war under a big victory? ”

"Father means ......," Chen An asked hesitantly.

Chen Xian shook his head, "The turmoil is about to rise, and I am ordered to go up and down the Chen family, close the door, and no one is allowed to stir up trouble outside." For my father to recuperate in the house, if there is any movement in the court, An'er, you have to remember that my Chen family is deeply favored by the emperor, and there must be no disobedience! Even if His Majesty is not there, there are still the Queen Mother, the Queen and the Prince! You remember the words of the Father. ”

Chen An nodded, "My son wrote it down." ”

"Half of the people in the court are unreliable. They may follow Li Qi and Cheng Qianli to make trouble, or they may follow Yang Guozhong to make trouble, but there is only one thing, as long as Yan Zhenqing does not move, they are all tossing around. ”

In addition, Fan Yang's Zhang Tong ...... Whether this person is reliable or not, I can't be sure if I am a father now. Chen Xian's eyes flickered, and he waved his hand suddenly, "You go to Yan Zhenqing's place and tell Yan Zhenqing that if Zhang Tong has any bad moves, someone will clean him up and let him concentrate on stabilizing the capital." ”

……

……

Compared with the chaotic pattern outside the palace, the situation in the palace is extremely calm.

After giving birth, Su Hudong and Li Tengkong, as well as the emperor's concubine Zhuoma in Tubona, have just returned to the palace, and now among the women around the emperor, except for Hua Nuer and Wan Chun, they have all given birth to children for the emperor. Of course, there are still several concubines in the palace who have not been favored by the emperor, such as the daughter of Fugu Huaien, the daughter of the general Zhang Tong, etc.

The Empress Dowager Liu has been happily married recently, and so many daughters-in-law have given birth one after another, which makes her happy. Although the news of the emperor's death had already spread throughout the capital, it was hidden from the queen mother.

The children of Queen Cui Ying and Yang Sanjie are already two or three years old, and they have already been babbling and running around, becoming the pistachios that are loved by the palace.

Of course, in the face of movement outside the palace, the palace is not unprepared at all. In order to be prepared, Yan Zhenqing secretly replaced all the palace guards and replaced them with his absolute henchmen, and then the emperor's brother-in-law Xiao Shisanlang served as the general of the palace guards to control the security of the palace ban.

And all the women gathered in the palace of Queen Cui Ying to live, outside the middle palace, heavily guarded, Xiao Shisanlang was on duty day and night, and did not dare to slack off ♀, and the palace was inhabited by his brother His Majesty the Emperor, and there could be no mistakes.

Queen Cui Ying's face was a little gloomy. Although she didn't believe that something had really happened to her emperor's husband, it was true that there was no news from the missing whereabouts so far, and it was even more true that those people outside the palace were trying to make trouble.

Wan Chun's face was even more ugly. As smart as her, she couldn't guess what Li Qi and his son wanted and were doing in this situation.

A janissary hurriedly came to report and said respectfully, "Queen Mother, ladies and gentlemen, Marquis Xiao came to report, saying that Yang Guozhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Yang Qi, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, entered the palace to ask to see. ”

For the sake of safety, Xiao Shisanlang removed most of the eunuchs in the middle palace and replaced them with his confidants.
