Chapter 221: Chaos Rises
"Tomorrow is the seventieth birthday of the mother, haven't you found it yet?" As the time approached, Hongtian became more and more impatient, and the people inside and outside the palace were already in place, but without the edict, after all, there was no name for righteousness!
"The slave has searched almost all over the back bedroom, except for the study and the dormitory, if nothing else, the edict should be in these two places!" , Gonggong Hai replied respectfully, "When he and Chi Xuan leave Cining Palace tomorrow, the slave will look for it again, and he will definitely be able to find out the edict!" ”
Hongday's fist clenched and then loosened, if it was later, he said, "You go to rest first, and only after you have enough spirit can you do things tomorrow, I will go to meet Prince Zhuang for tomorrow's big event!" ”
"Wow!" , Hai Gonggong bowed and retreated, Hongcheng changed his face and went out of the palace, turned left and right into an inconspicuous alley, just arrived at the entrance of the alley The carriage was stopped, Hongyang got off the carriage and followed the person who stopped alone into a small courtyard, in the courtyard, Prince Zhuang Prince Yunlu, Prince Yu, Guanglu Duo Luobeile Hongming Military Department Shangshu Rusong, Jiumen Admiral Tondo and other core personnel were all together, sitting in the hall, no one spoke.
"Hongday, you're here." , Prince Zhuang opened his mouth and said, the atmosphere in the hall became more solemn, Hongming saw Hongyang coming in and immediately asked impatiently, "Has the edict been found?" ”
"I have found out that the edict is in the back study, and when we go to my mother's birthday after today, we will be able to take it out!" Hongyang knew that he must not be discouraged at this time, so he opened his eyes and began to talk nonsense. Even if there is no edict now, can everyone not launch it? Qianlong's coercion is getting closer and closer, if he doesn't do it again, his group will be cleaned up one by one this year!
"It's ready to go! With the arrangement we waited for a few days ago, there will be no reason to miss tomorrow! When that scumbag is removed from the throne, we will restore the ancestral system. All of you here can be kings! Prince Zhuang patted the table and said, he also noticed that something seemed wrong.
"But it is said that the eight princes who will discuss the government on the edict have been decided, is it appropriate for us to do this?" , Admiral Tondo of the Nine Gates asked hesitantly.
"Humph! The situation when the first emperor was alive was very different from today, not to mention anything else. My twelfth brother, Prince Yun Yi and Xinjun Wang Dezhao, are both old now, and their health is not good, even if they are willing to do things for us, they are powerless! Besides, a few of these people have already been subdued by that scumbag, I'm afraid they won't be on our side! Tomorrow, we should strive to move forward, and whoever has the greatest credit will be the king of the council! Prince Zhuang glanced at the past one by one with a pair of tiger eyes, if anyone showed a trace of hesitation in his eyes, don't blame him for being ruthless today!
"Everything is under the orders of Prince Zhuang!" , everyone responded in unison, everyone is not stupid. Knowing that there was no retreat now, they lowered their voices and howled.
"Well, for the sake of our full foundation, I will leave it to you tomorrow!" , Prince Zhuang got up and shook his head, "Now go back and prepare, Hongday, you will serve in front of Concubine Yu tomorrow, and when the time is ripe, you will release the signal." Let's get in together! Brother Guanglu, you will be in charge of the guards in the palace tomorrow. As soon as Hongday's signal came out, he immediately killed the people around the, and he couldn't let anyone out of Concubine Yu's palace; Tondo, if there is chaos in the palace, you will take your men and horses to seal all the nine gates, and you will not let one person enter or leave! If you are loose", Prince Zhuang issued a series of instructions according to the plan made as soon as possible, in the palace. There are people on his side in the inner city and the outer city, if Qianlong is not well prepared, I should change the handle tomorrow!
In the palace, Qianlong was surrounded by Fu Heng, Shen Fukangan, Bai Zhen and others. Except for Bai Zhen, they are all Manchurian nobles, and even Liu Tongxun, who he called the pillar of the imperial court, is not in the palace, and it seems that the Han people have no trust in the high-level struggle. "Bai Zhen, tell me how things are prepared!"
"Your Majesty, the suspicious guards have all been controlled by the minister! The guards for tomorrow's birthday banquet have also been replaced with reliable manpower, and there are ministers who will be able to protect Your Majesty thoroughly! Bai Zhen replied in a trembling voice.
"Fu Heng, where are you?"
"Your Majesty, the minions have also arranged all the reliable men and horses, and if there is any change in the armies tomorrow, they will be able to capture them in one sentence!"
"Fukangan!"
"The guards under the slave have been carefully screened, and tomorrow I will personally lead someone to prepare for it outside the Yugui Palace!"
At the end of a series of questions, Qianlong breathed a sigh of relief, "Hehe, Prince Zhuang still thinks that he is secretive, but most of us are still loyal to the imperial court, and tomorrow is the day of their beheading, you all work hard, and I will not hesitate to reward!" ”
"Minions/Ministers obey!" Everyone knelt down in unison.
In the rudder of the Red Flower Society, Chen Jialuo, Yuan Shixiao and Luo Bing were also secretly discussing, "Tomorrow night, I will enter the palace with my master and Miao Daxia, and you will take people to meet you outside, and prepare the men and horses and the line of retreat, and the other brothers who do not do anything will withdraw from the capital today, and they will lurk first if they can't do it; After tomorrow, the capital will definitely be hunted on a large scale, so let these brothers be careful! ”
"Yes, Helmsman!" , Luo Bing originally seemed to want to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he retracted again, and just said softly, "Chief helmsman, Yuan senior, Miao Daxia, you must be careful tomorrow!" ”
On the evening of the second day, Chen Jialuo changed his clothes, spent another layer of night clothes outside, and waited early for darkness in a set of courtyards near the imperial city. Judging from the situation outside the window, there are obviously fewer pedestrians on both sides of the street, and there are many more soldiers with weapons.
At the same time, there was a lively scene in the palace, the queen Niu Colu was at the top, Qianlong and Concubine Yu were on the left and right, and the queen nodded and praised just after singing the scene, "Well, sing well, call the master of the class, the palace will be rewarded!" ”
After some reward, Hongyang came out of the banquet and knelt down in front of the hall, "Mother, I also specially invited the opera troupe from Anhui to congratulate my mother on her birthday, and I wish my mother a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longevity better than Nanshan!" ”
"Well, Hongyang is really filial!" , The queen praised quietly.
After a while, the troupe appeared, and Hongday arranged a martial arts show, several martial artists were turning around on the stage, and the audience was applauding! Just when everyone was fascinated, the spear in the hand of the leading Wusheng suddenly came out of his hand and flew straight towards Qianlong, and the rest of the scene seemed to have received a signal and threw the weapon in his hand towards Qianlong and the queen at the same time! (To be continued......)
