Chapter 114: The Mastermind of the Rebellion
In the woods, Ling Xia was followed by dozens of men, women and children, and in front of those people stood a burly man in civilian clothes. ”
It turned out that when Ling Xia faced the rebels from in front of Hongde Gate, he found that Long Jiuzhong and Xu Chunyang were not of one mind, and later overheard the conversation between Xu Chunyang and Long Jiuzhong, he was more sure of his judgment, and after thinking about it, Ling Xia decided to let Long Jiuzhong and his horse go.
At that time, when Xu Chunyang was threatening Ling Xia, Ling Xia secretly glanced at Long Jiuzhong, signaled Long Jiuzhong Golden Cicada to get out of his shell, and went to the rockery on the west side to escape, after receiving Ling Xia's hint, Long Jiuzhong took advantage of the rebel charge and put his armor on a corpse.
In order not to be found abnormal, Long Jiuzhong smashed the head of the corpse with his fist, and then dressed in civilian clothes, and fled to the foot of the rockery on the west side while in chaos.
Knowing that Long Jiuzhong was sent by Ling Xia, Qu Qinshi and the others quietly brought Long Jiuzhong back to Wanxiu Palace, because the entrance to the palace was blocked by the Praetorian Guards, so Long Jiuzhong changed his clothes and mixed in Boss Luo's team, pretending to be Ling Xia's personal soldiers.
In this way, when Nangong Xiongba led the Praetorian Guards to rush into the palace to rescue the driver, Long Jiuzhong evaded the interrogation of the Praetorian Guards as a horse attendant, and later, Ling Xia took the opportunity to clean up the corpse and swaggered to lead Long Jiuzhong out of the palace.
Knowing that the emperor was going to kill the family of the rebel leader and the ten clans, Ling Xia sent Lao Cui to assist Long Jiuzhong to sneak back to the family in advance, and quietly brought out his parents, wife and children, as well as more than 30 relatives of the family.
After the rebellion, the imperial capital must be under close investigation in the near future, so Ling Xia suggested that Long Jiuzhong leave early, tonight, Long Jiuzhong fled from the imperial capital with his family, and Ling Xia came to see him off, so there was an opening scene.
If it weren't for Ling Xia secretly letting go of a horse, Long Jiuzhong would have died in Hongdemen at this moment, not only that, but it would also affect his family, wife and children, as well as relatives of the ten clans, Long Jiuzhong didn't have any ten clans at all, so as long as he rescued these family members, he would be relieved.
Thanking Ling Xia gratefully, Long Jiuzhong beckoned his family to get into the carriage, and after everyone got into the carriage, Long Jiuzhong thought for a moment, then walked to Ling Xia's side and said to him: "I heard that the emperor handed over the remaining guards to the horses.
In fact, most of the guards were forced to participate in this rebellion, only a few things were iron-hearted rebellion, Hongdemen battle, those guards who really rebelled were basically killed by you, and the rest of the guards were coerced to join.
If you want to use those guards in the future, you can recommend two candidates to the horse, these two people are called Ji Mo and Yue Qianfeng, Ji Mo was originally my deputy, and his internal strength is at the peak of cultivation.
Yue Qianfeng is the chief of the guards of those guards, and he is also the peak cultivation of internal strength, this person is good at light skills, if the body method is unleashed, even I have nothing to do with him, he has a very high prestige in the eyes of the guards, with his assistance, the guards must be all in their hearts.
These two men are quite close to me on weekdays, and I occasionally instruct them in a few tricks, and later I can write a book myself, when the colt will take my handwritten letter to the two of them, and after reading the letter, with the disposition of the two of them, he will definitely be the colt in the future. ”
"In that case, then trouble General Long." Ling Xia didn't shirk either, and directly asked Long Jiuzhong to write a letter on the spot, originally Ling Xia was worried about how to manage those big internal guards, but now with Long Jiuzhong's help, Ling Xia's troubles instantly came to naught.
When Long Jiuzhong bowed his head and wrote a letter, Ling Xia seemed to think of something? casually asked: "General Long, you just said that Yue Qianfeng is the chief of the guard, but I heard that the chief of the guard in the palace is a woman named Liu Baiyu, why didn't you see her in this rebellion?" ”
Hearing this, Long Jiuzhong replied while writing a letter: "In addition to the more than 10,000 male guards in the palace, there are also more than 1,000 female guards, the male guards are responsible for protecting the safety of the emperor and other members of the royal family, and the female guards are responsible for protecting the safety of the queen and the concubines.
In the palace, the harem is under the jurisdiction of the queen mother, the queen mother attaches great importance to men and women, except for the emperor, other men are not allowed to go to the harem at all, Liu Baiyu is the chief of the guard who is responsible for managing the female guards.
She and the rest of the female guards usually live in the harem and rarely show up. -------- this rebellion, alas------- Xu Chunyang and the three only controlled all the male guards, not those female guards, so you can't see the female guards in Hongdemen. ”
While speaking, Long Jiuzhong wrote the letter, and after folding it neatly, he handed the letter to Ling Xia: "Don't thank you for your kindness, the kindness of the horse master, Long has written it down, today Long has nothing to repay, if the horse is sent in the future, Long will definitely die." ”
"General Long is polite, it's just a gesture, the general doesn't have to mind." After speaking, Ling Xia personally helped Long Jiuzhong move the horses and stuffed the reins into Long Jiuzhong's hands: "General, please get on the horse." ”
Taking the reins, Long Jiuzhong jumped on the horse, rode on the horse and looked at Ling Xia, Long Jiuzhong's eyes showed a trace of hesitation, and after a little hesitation, he couldn't help but ask: "Don't you want to know who the mastermind of this rebellion is?" ”
"I guessed it." Ling Xia said.
"You guessed it?" There was a hint of shock in Long Jiuzhong's eyes.
Looking at Long Jiuzhong's eyes, Ling Xia sighed: "Alas------ in fact, not only did I guess it, but the emperor should have also guessed it, otherwise he wouldn't have stopped there, Zhen Yuzhai made such a big fuss, but more than a thousand female guards from the harem didn't come." Isn't that strange?
You and Xu Chunyang are all military marshals, even if you succeed in the rebellion, you will not be able to ascend the throne and become the emperor, so you are just chess pieces in the hands of others, the purpose of the main messenger is very simple, use the rebels to kill all the courtiers, imprison the emperor, and then profit from it, those who have this qualification must be people of the royal family.
The target of the rebels is all the courtiers, and they want to kill all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, as we all know, the military generals support the crown prince, and the civil ministers support the second prince, if the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are dead, the prince and the second prince will lose their wings, on the other hand, the prestige of the main messenger should not be as good as the second prince of the prince, so this decision was made.
The most important point is that the first master of the Forbidden City, the Governor of the Praetorian Guard, Nangong Xiongba, did not attend the emperor's birthday, if he was at the banquet at the time, the four leaders of the rebels would definitely not dare to mess around, if he rescued him in time, he would not have died so many people, judging from this, Nangong Xiongba was also involved in the rebellion. ”
"How do you know this ----------- you?" Hearing this, Long Jiuzhong was suddenly stunned.
