In the thunder, the battalion howl became louder and louder, and it was impossible to hide it, and it was a way to dilute it.

"In the first month, thunder is piled up, and in February, thunder and husks fly. The thunder in the first month indicates that this year's wind and rain will be smooth, the grains will be abundant, the people will be happy, and the country will be peaceful. Haha, those thieves and prisoners are rare and strange, you have lived in the forbidden place for a long time, and your ears and eyes are more or less contaminated with a little fairy energy, you must not learn from them to be so nonsense. ”

The steward eunuch had read books for a few years before entering the palace, and he loved to chew words when he spoke, but he shook his head at the moment, pretending to be relaxed, but he also had a chic. The little eunuchs who were doing hard labor had little knowledge, but when they saw him so calm, they believed a little.

"Thunder in the first month of the year, the shell flies, and the thunder in February is piled up", this is a folk proverb, and the folk proverb also says that "thunder in the first month, there are thieves everywhere", "thunder in the first month", in a word, thunder in the first month is very unlucky.

He can tamper with the proverbs and coax the little eunuchs, but he can't deceive himself or God.

Another lightning streaked across the night sky, illuminating the entire Daming Palace, and the Daming Palace under the electric light was so empty, lonely, and bleak.

"Alas...... My Datang's national fortune. ”

The steward eunuch sighed longly, Emperor Daxing has just been in the sky, the crown prince is seriously disabled and sick, and he has not been able to ascend the throne for a long time......

When did the night sky of Datang become so dark?

The howling sound sounded from the camp of the Left Shenwu Army, and quickly spread to the Northern Sixth Army and the Left and Right Shence. When Li Chun heard that there was a roar in the camp of the forbidden army outside the palace, he was so frightened that his face was pale. The camp rules in the barracks are strict, not to mention shouting loudly, even whispering that nothing is life-threatening. And the military camp is a place of slaughter, the so-called "17 prohibitions and 54 beheadings", the soldiers are all worried about life, and the mental depression over the years can be imagined.

In addition, there are strict hierarchies in the army, officers wantonly oppress soldiers, veterans gang up to oppress new recruits, gangs and factions fight openly and covertly, and contradictions accumulate year after year, all of which are suppressed by military discipline. If something big happens, everyone's life and death are uncertain, and they don't know when they will return to the West, and at this time the spirit is on the verge of collapse.

At such times, if someone screams and loses control of his emotions, it will quickly become infected, causing a large number of soldiers to go berserk, fight with each other, and even bite each other, and all kinds of terrifying madness will erupt.

Such a large-scale battalion is unheard of, and it is not surprising that Li Chun is so out of shape.

Du Huangshang and Li Mao rushed to Li Chun's place when they heard the news, and as soon as the two arrived, Wang Ling, Wang Shuwen, and Li Zhongyan also came over. Li Zhongyan asked Li Mao urgently: "How could there be a camp roar?" What should I do? ”

Li Mao shook his head and said, "The reason is being investigated, and there is no conclusion at the moment." ”

Wang Ling said: "Check a fart, this must be a traitor!" For today's plan, we should ask the prince to move to Fengtian to take refuge for the time being, and then try to make a good plan. ”

Du Huangshang sneered: "Please go out of the city, Your Highness?" If you leave the city, can you come back? ”

Wang Ling said: "Tai Changqing, this is not the time to fight for morale, the forbidden army camp roars, who can stop it, this is a big disaster that the sky is collapsing!" ”

Du Huangshang said: "It is precisely because of the critical situation that we cannot act rashly. It is not uncommon for the camp to roar and supervise the roar, but such a large-scale camp whistle is obviously someone making trouble behind the scenes, or this is simply a conspiracy. How can the prince move lightly at this moment? If you can't see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the court meeting tomorrow, the Tang Dynasty will be in danger. ”

Wang Shuwen said: "Tai Changqing's words are not wrong, but the Northern Military Camp is screaming, how to solve it?" If it is left unchecked, who will be responsible for the safety of His Highness? Do you wear a yellow dress? ”

Seeing that the two were arguing, Li Chun hurriedly persuaded: "Don't fight. In Xiao Wang's opinion, Mo Ruo asked the prince to temporarily avoid Xingqing Palace and transfer Weiyuan and Jinwu to escort them. Then the minister was elected to the northern army camp to comfort. ”

Wang Ling shook his head and said, "When the camp roars, whoever dares to step forward to impeach is looking for death." ”

At this moment, Qingmo rushed in, out of breath when he ran, and the sudden vomit behind him rolled his eyes tiredly, and lay down when he entered the door.

"I figured it out, it's not Yingxiao, it's Xiaoying, someone is making trouble behind his back, spreading rumors that the prince killed Ju Wenzhen, in order to cut the authority of the Northern Ya, and to reuse the Prime Minister of the Southern Ya."

Although there is only one word difference between the camp and the camp of the camp, the nature is completely different, and the camp is caused by the coaxing of the sergeants, but if it is not prohibited, it is very likely to turn into a mutiny.

"The welfare of the forbidden army far exceeds that of the southern Ya armies and the border armies of the feudal towns, if the northern Ya loses power, it is bound to not continue." Du Huangshang smiled faintly, "Someone is really scheming." ”

"Today, the fifth shou liang of Shenshi said that he was dizzy and needed to go back to the house to recuperate, he left with his front foot, and there was a camp roar in the right army camp on the back foot, this is not obvious, the mastermind behind the scenes is the old gelding."

Wang Shuwen was an old eunuch, and Li Zhongyan and Tutu Chengxuan's faces were white and blue, unpredictable, and very good-looking. Wang Shuwen didn't realize it at all, and still said impassionedly: "The old eunuch should be killed, if you don't go to this disaster, I'm afraid that I will be sad about this catastrophe." According to the minister's opinion, when the elite is mobilized to kill this thief with lightning speed, so that the camp can be calmed and great things can be accomplished. ”

Wang Shuwen had never been in the army, and he couldn't tell the difference between "camp Xiao" and "Xiao camp".

Li Chun asked Li Mao: "Are you sure?" ”

Li Mao groaned: "Sure enough, he is the real murderer behind the scenes, how can he be defenseless." At present, there are only a handful of people available to His Highness, and it is difficult to do so in a hurry. Moreover, since the Northern Army has already roared its camp, killing him at this moment is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. It's better to ......."

Li Mao looked at Du Huangshang, and Du Huangshang took over and said: "It's not good to add fuel to the fire, so I want to give him a salary from the bottom of the kettle." The officers and men of the Northern Army were afraid that they would not be able to protect themselves, so they protested in the camp. Then let them rest assured: add the general of the left prison guard to the fifth guard, and the generals of each army will be given a first rank, and they will be cashed out immediately; Another 7 million guan was allocated from the inner treasury, and the soldiers of the northern army were each rewarded with 50 guan, which was cashed immediately, and the guards of the prison gate were each rewarded with 35 guan, which was cashed immediately, and the two armies of Weiyuan and Jinwu were rewarded with 30 guan, which were cashed out after three days, and the two guards of Jinwu and Qianniu were each rewarded with 20 guan, which was cashed out after the month. ”

Qingmo interjected: "The two armies of Weiyuan and Jinwu have worked hard and made great achievements, and the rewards are not as good as the rebellious prison guards, I don't know if the soldiers will start a camp roar after hearing this." ”

Du Huangshang was not angry when he heard this, and said to Qingmo with a pleasant face: "Hurry up with power, and meritorious people will be rewarded in the future." ”

Li Chun promised: "After this catastrophe, Xiao Wang will personally work for the soldiers of the two armies." ”

With this promise, Qingmo didn't say anything anymore, he had nothing to do with Weiyuan and Jinwu Liangwei, just to say something fair when he saw the injustice.

Li Chun asked Wang Shuwen and Wang Ling how their plan was, and the two of them wanted to find a fault, one, two, three, what, one was urgent, the other was that they couldn't think of a better way, and the third was that Du Huangsheng's strategy was indeed useful, and they had the support of Li Chun and Li Mao. Helplessly, the two wisely agreed.

Although Du Huangsheng's plan was appropriate, it was not easy to use such a large sum of money. In the later period of Li Yi's administration, the treasury was empty year after year, and he couldn't take out seven million yuan at all, and the treasury was full of money, but the management power was in the hands of eunuchs.

The envoys of Daying and Qionglin openly claimed that the inner treasury was the emperor's private property, and no one was allowed to use it without the emperor's edict, including the crown prince.

When the news was transmitted back to Taiji Palace, Wang Ling and Wang Shuwen sneered in their hearts, waiting to see Du Huangshang's jokes, they couldn't get the money, and the Xiao camp of the soldiers of the Northern Army was very likely to turn into a mutiny, and if tomorrow's court meeting could not be held as scheduled, the political situation would be very bad and the situation would be unimaginable. Aren't you Du Huangshang able to, you can make money.

Du Huangshang is also in a dilemma, Daying and Qionglin are embarrassed by the order, no emperor's codex can not be withdrawn, no money can not pass the current level, whether the crown prince can ascend the throne and be the emperor is still in the two words, and where did the emperor's codex come from. It's not hard to break this circle, just use a little violence.

The use of violence to openly rob the inner treasury is a felony of the nine clans, which is different from the edict, although the edict is also a major crime of the nine clans, but the edict is pronounced, there is no actual evidence, as long as no one is held accountable afterwards, it is a confused account, the so-called winner is not guilty, as long as it can be done, all sins can be erased.

And openly leading troops to rob the inner treasury is an earth-shattering move, a crime that cannot be erased, and once someone makes a mistake based on this in the future, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"I'll come."

At the moment of emergency, Li Mao stood up, Du Huangshang's eyes closed, and tears flowed like a spring.

Li Chun also had tears in his eyes, held Li Mao's hand, and said emotionally: "This grace will never be forgotten." ”

Wang Ling and Wang Shuwen also sighed twice, judging by the current situation, if the prince can successfully ascend the throne, Li Maowei will not lose his appearance, and the future will be immeasurable. But when they commit this crime, they put their future and life in the hands of others, and they are controlled by others all the time. What a high wind and bright festival this is. If you think about it, neither of them can do that.

Because Li Mao has always been close to Li Chun, the two have always been a little unaccustomed to Li Mao, but the two also know very well in their hearts that Li Mao will not come out and take out the money from the emperor's inner treasury, and no one will be able to pass this level at the moment, and no one will have a good life in the future.

Thinking about it like this, the two of them looked at Li Mao again with much softer eyes, and sighed twice rarely.

After Li Mao got the talisman, he selected three hundred soldiers from the Weiyuan army, did not record their names, ordered them to take off their uniforms, and did not leave anything to prove their identity on Zhou's body, gave a reward on the spot, masked his face with a black scarf, and entered the Daming Palace at night to rob Qionglin and Daying.

After a series of fierce battles, the two envoys bowed down to their orders.

Seven million guan money was carried all night, at dawn, the ants gathered in front of the Daming Palace to quiet down the forbidden soldiers of the three royal highnesses, fifty guan money is not a small amount, and everyone was worried about how to move the money home. Not only were the officers richly rewarded, but each of them was given a blank note, and the chamberlain who distributed it told them that when the crown prince ascended the throne, he would immediately issue an edict to be sealed and confirmed by the military department.

Similar things happened in Fengtianjing, when the siege of Zhu Zhu was the most urgent, there was no money and no food in the city, and there was nothing to reward, the emperor sent a blank notice to each soldier in order to motivate the soldiers to defend the city, and these people later became "Fengtian's martyrdom", and they have enjoyed the glory and wealth to this day.

The Tang Dynasty Son of Heaven is still reputable, so naturally if he wants to cash in on the benefits, the premise is that the crown prince must become the Son of Heaven.

It seems that the prince will reuse Wang Ling and Wang Shuwen to reduce the authority of the Northern Ya and reduce the welfare of the forbidden army, it seems that it is nonsense, Wei Yuanjun and Jin Wuwei were busy all night, and the reward was only thirty times, which is not as good as the prison guard, what credit does the prison guard have, isn't it because he is close to our Beiya forbidden army? The prince treats the soldiers of our forbidden army more generously than the emperor of Daxing.

When the sun had just risen, news came that the prince was going to add lieutenants and generals to the two armies, and that the six armies had also promoted their officers to two levels and were rewarded handsomely. Even Ju Wenzhen, who was executed for rebellion, was rehabilitated Zhaoxue, saying that he was overly sad and volunteered to be buried for Emperor Daxing, not only without fault, but with merit.

It seems that the new dynasty has well inherited the tradition of the previous dynasty of attaching importance to the northern government and giving preferential treatment to the forbidden army, and this tradition is good.

For such a good emperor, how can the soldiers of the forbidden army not wholeheartedly support it?

The soldiers of the forbidden army shouted to see the prince in return for their reward. The prince naturally couldn't bear to brush off the loyalty of the soldiers, so he came to the Nine Immortals Gate with illness, summoned the generals of the forbidden army, and comforted them with kind words, and each of them had a reward.

The generals were grateful, turned around and hurriedly beckoned the people of the headquarters to return to the camp and see their mothers.

After seeing the last group of forbidden army generals leave, Li Mao, who was dressed in the uniform of the four generals of Qianniuwei, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and he suddenly found that the sun was particularly bright on this day, the sky was particularly clear, and his heart was particularly bright.

On that day, officials above the top nine grades in Beijing gathered in the Xuanzheng Hall to read out the edict of Emperor Daxing.

Two days later, the crown prince Li Yu ascended the throne in the Taiji Hall of the Taiji Palace.
