Chapter 1114 Kill the Inner Ghost
Wang Yan annexed the army of the Tang King, but left many hidden dangers, after all, the Tang King is the younger brother of Gaozong, who had been a prisoner for a short time, and had a good name, and Emperor Gaozong appointed him as the heir to the throne, but in the end Wang Yan and King Lu disturbed his throne.
With this relationship, coupled with the fact that the co-ruling emperor was too young to take charge, many ministers and generals who were loyal to the imperial family, that is, the imperial party, pinned their hopes on him.
After Dong Zhongshu transformed Confucianism and transformed Confucianism into a tool in line with the emperor's rule, under the influence of thousands of years of loyalty to the monarch, there are still many people who are loyal to the imperial family.
A deputy commander is the Yunnan general Zhao Yinxuan, who went out of Yunnan to resist the Qing Dynasty during the Hongguang period, and he was present in the battlefields of Jiangxi and Hunan.
Another acquaintance named Wang Dehan was born in Yangzhou's official army, he followed Wang Yan very early, but this person had a lot of problems with the old soldiers, not only eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, but also like to beat and scold soldiers, so he has not been promoted, and it is inevitable that he will be unbalanced in his heart for a long time, so that Tang Wang has found an opportunity.
Wang Dehan is a good gambler, often owes debts, and many times he finds colleagues to turn, but he is not in a hurry to pay back the money, and he always asks people to ask for it.
Once, he lost more than 300 taels, and it coincided with the Chinese New Year, other families killed chickens and sheep, and he was still carrying huge debts, he begged the commander Yang Yanchang, and wanted to borrow some silver from him to turnover, Yang Yanchang knew his nature, so he didn't give it, but asked people to send some fish and meat to his family, so that his family could have a good New Year.
To say, a little conscience, because of the gratitude, but unfortunately the words are contrary, Wang Dehan did not be grateful, but ruthlessly fell on Yang Yanchang, at this time King Lu seized the opportunity to find someone to deliberately lose to him five hundred taels of silver, and when he reacted, he had spent the silver of the king of Tang, and he was counted as a thief ship.
In addition to these two people, there were also three thousand households and some secret people, and the Tang King had been working hard to maintain the relationship, and they all wrote letters of allegiance to the Tang King.
The order given to them by the Tang King was to hold Nanjing first, fully support Gao Yigong, block King Lu's men and horses, wait until Jin Shenghuan killed Wang Yan, and then try to get rid of Gao Yigong, control the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, launch a mutiny, and control the army in Nanjing, but in the city of Nanjing, there are many troops loyal to the imperial court, and it is difficult to achieve, so the Tang King confessed, if it didn't work, he led his subordinates to open the city gate with the Japanese army, and welcomed Jin Shenghuan's men and horses to Nanjing City.
Zhao Yinxuan's side naturally wanted to launch a mutiny and control the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and Gao Yigong.
The reason is very simple, since he risked his life to launch a mutiny, he naturally had to fight for a good price for himself.
Open the city gate, let Jin Shenghuan enter the city, they opened a city gate, only led their subordinates to take refuge, and the credit that can be shared is naturally less, and it is easy to be annexed by Jin Shenghuan, which is equivalent to making a wedding dress for Jin Shenghuan, their status will be too far from Jin Shenghuan, and after the Tang King is in charge, they have also improved the core circle.
If you can control Gao Yigong and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and help His Royal Highness the King of Tang control Nanjing, not to mention being on an equal footing with Jin Shenghuan, at least he will not be thrown too far.
Zhao Yinxuan and the others understood that under the two circumstances, their futures would be very different, so they had to kill Gao Yigong no matter what. To do things for the Tang King is to be loyal to the imperial family, but while being loyal, they must also consider for themselves.
The Shun army is those rogues, and they climbed to the heads of these orthodox officials and soldiers, and their titles are a lot higher than them, which has long made them dissatisfied.
In the past few days, Zhao Yinxuan and several people have discussed and agreed, what they are doing is a business with their heads, so naturally they will make it bigger.
Because the time has not yet come, Jin Shenghuan has no news, in order to avoid startling the snake, several people are very forbearing, and they all obey Gao Yigong's orders, so as not to arouse his suspicion.
On this day, after several people were ordered to inspect the city, as soon as they left the city, a soldier came to give an order, saying that the governor of the capital asked them to go to the governor's palace of the five armies to discuss matters, and several people did not suspect it.
According to the message given by His Royal Highness King Tang, Anqing should have succeeded, Jin Shenghuan will come over in the next few days, and at the critical moment, before Gao Yigong became suspicious, he only took his own personal guards and went straight to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.
The Zhejiang army's offensive has become much weaker in the past few days, and it must be preparing some other siege means, and they thought that Gao Yigong had summoned them to discuss defense matters.
A group of people entered the yamen, the soldiers standing guard did not change, they just walked through a hall, and saw a few military schools hurrying out, after seeing Zhao Yinxuan and his party, he immediately stepped forward and said: "General Zhao came just right, so as not to run away from his humble duties, the metropolitan governor is waiting for a few generals!" ”
Zhao Yinxuan and Wang Dehan glanced at each other, and Zhao Yinxuan's hand unconsciously fell on the hilt of the knife, "What's the matter with the Metropolitan Governor looking for us?" ”
"The defenders of Zhengyangmen heard the movement, the rebels seem to have dug a tunnel, and the metropolitan governor wants to discuss with several generals!" The military academy clenched his fists and bowed his head, not daring to look at the two.
"Oh, lead the way!" Hearing this, seeing that it was indeed a matter of discussing the defense of the city, Zhao Yinxuan and Wang Dehan were a little relieved, waved their hands, followed the officer and continued to move forward, and went straight to the festival hall.
The military academy of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies led the way, and they went all the way unhindered, until they were outside the festival hall, and their own soldiers were stopped, which did not arouse their alarm.
This is normal, how can ordinary soldiers enter the festival hall of the metropolitan governor, not only can the soldiers not enter, but even the generals have to remove the matching swords.
Lin Chong entered the White Tiger Hall with a knife, and was punished by Gao Yu, writing about the Song Dynasty, but it was the people of the Ming Dynasty who wrote the book. It is impossible for the handsome hall in the world to allow the generals to lead the troops to enter without permission, and under special circumstances, the generals will also remove their swords.
Wang Dehan glanced at Zhao Xuanyin, the latter nodded, Jin Shenghuan will come to Nanjing in the near future, they have endured it for so many days, and they are about to succeed, and now there is nothing wrong with it.
At that moment, the two of them left their soldiers outside, and then untied their knives and handed them to the guards in front of the door, and an officer on duty immediately pushed the door, "Two generals, please come in!" ”
Zhao Yinxuan nodded, and when he went in first, Wang Dehan followed closely and entered the festival hall.
As soon as they entered, the door was closed, and the hall was empty, and the handsome case was also empty, Gao Yigong and the two generals stood in front of a map with their backs to them.
Zhao Yinxuan frowned immediately, didn't he say that he would convene the generals to discuss the matter? Why is there no one in the festival?
"Governor, this is ······" Zhao Yinxuan's heart was so weak that he actually forgot to salute.
"You're here!" Hearing the movement, Gao Yigong turned around, and the two people next to him also turned around, one was Yang Yanchang, the commander of the Tiger Wing Battalion, and the other was Yu Taichu of Jinyiwei, who was squinting at them.
"Ah······h As soon as Zhao Yinxuan and Wang Dehan saw Yu Taichu, they immediately exploded, and the two of them exclaimed almost at the same time, instinctively turned around and ran, and at the same time shouted urgently, "Guard!" ”
However, the door of the festival hall was locked from the outside, and the soldiers they shouted did not rush in, and a shout of killing and the sound of weapons colliding sounded outside at the same time.
Although the organization of Jinyiwei has abolished many powers, its intelligence collection work is still relatively effective.
The officials and generals of the Ming Dynasty, in the archives of Jinyiwei, basically have information to check, what they have done, what stains they have, you can know.
Wang Yan's employment of people naturally has to carry out a political review, and for those who have problems and hidden dangers, Jinyiwei has focused on surveillance. To the people who came from the side of King Tang or King Lu, Jinyi Wei had to monitor for a period of time, and then decide whether they still needed to continue to observe according to the situation. Unfortunately, Zhao Yinxuan has been under the supervision of Jinyiwei, as for Wang Dehan, it is because he loves gambling too much, has too much silver, and can't tell the origin, which attracted the attention of Jinyiwei.
Zhao Yinxuan and Wang Dehan rushed to the door and were shocked when they found that the door was locked.
"Hit the mark!" Wang Dehan was like a mourner, he exclaimed in his heart, and his face turned pale in an instant.
Zhao Yinxuan on the side reacted faster, he barely calmed down, looked back at Gao Yigong and the three of them, and said with a trembling voice: "Governor, why is this?" ”
Gao Yigong sneered and was silent, but Yang Yanchang on the side smiled and said, "What are you doing?" Of course, it's to kill the thief! ”
"Wronged!" Zhao Yinxuan immediately shouted, "The lowly position is loyal to the imperial court, how can it be an internal thief, is the governor mistaken!" ”
"Wrong?" Yu Taichu on the side held the hilt of the knife and smiled: "Then what are you running?" Let me tell you, Jin Yiwei already has conclusive evidence, not only you, but also Tang Wang can't escape! ”
"This ······" Zhao Yinxuan was speechless for a while, but Wang Dehan on the side was broken by Yu Taichu's words, since the other party said Tang Wang, obviously he knew everything.
At that moment, there was a burst of fear in his heart, and his knees immediately weakened, and he knelt on the ground, "The Metropolitan Governor, his subordinates were designed by the King of Tang, and they did not really surrender to the King of Tang, for the sake of his subordinates who have followed His Royal Highness the King of Chu for many years······"
"You still have the face to mention His Royal Highness the King of Chu..." Yang Yanchang on the side pulled out his knife and forced him step by step, "If you didn't take refuge in King Tang, what did you run?" ”
"Humble, humble, afraid..." Wang Dehan's body was so frightened that he leaned back, a few years of peaceful life, and he liked to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, so he had already fallen into corruption and degenerate, and he didn't have much courage.
Wang Dehan is Yang Yanchang's subordinate, he thinks that he has taken care of him, but he didn't think that this guy was an internal ghost, and he also wanted to launch a mutiny to get rid of Gao Dudu and him, which made him feel cold, and at the same time, Jinyiwei came to the door and slapped him in the face, which also made Yang Yanchang very annoyed.
"Just be afraid!" Just when Wang Dehan was kneeling and leaning back, Yang Yanchang suddenly stepped forward, and with a knife in his hand, he cut his chest open, and blood splattered immediately, and Zhao Yinxuan next to him closed his eyes and was splashed on his face······
