Chapter 394: Preemptive Strike

"Yong Guogong, tonight is beautiful, let's not live up to Wu Weihou's kindness." After Zhang Weixian left, King Fu smiled and said to Liu Wu, who was looking at Zhang Weixian's back with a serious expression.

"What the prince said is very true." Liu Wu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then bowed to King Fu and sat down with an embarrassed expression, he knew that if he insisted on leaving, he would definitely be under house arrest like Zhang Weixian.

King Fu glanced at Liu Wu, who looked cramped, and a smug smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, Liu Wu was easier to deal with than Zhang Weixian, not as stubborn and brainless as Zhang Weixian, when Zhang Weixian was taken down, Liu Wu would definitely not dare to act rashly.

Although everyone chatted and laughed after the banquet began, Liu Wu, who was smiling and smiling, tasted like chewing wax and was restless.

King Fu's house arrest of Zhang Weixian is undoubtedly a rebellion, but he can't do anything, is it possible for him to go against King Fu? After all, King Fu is also the son of Emperor Wanli.

Therefore, after the banquet, Liu Wu hurriedly left the Wuwei Hou Mansion after bidding farewell to King Fu and others, he didn't want to stay here for a moment, and immediately dropped hundreds of sergeants from the barracks to protect after returning to the house, so as not to become a fish and meat to be slaughtered on the chopping board like Zhang Weixian.

"Third brother, should we detain Yong Guogong as well." When Liu Wu left the Wuwei Marquis Mansion, King Rui, who was seeing him off in front of the mansion, couldn't help but say to King Fu, in this way, those nobles who supported the prince and were neutral would become a plate of scattered sand, and there would be no threat to King Fu.

"The Duke of Yongguo is different from the Duke of England, he is hesitant to support the king or the crown prince, and I believe that after tonight's events, he will make the right choice."

King Fu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he looked at King Rui meaningfully and said, "Duke Yongguo and Duke Ying came to Marquis Wuwei's mansion for a banquet together, but they left alone, how do you think the outside world will view this matter?" ”

"The government and opposition in the capital will think that Yongguo Gong has taken refuge in the third brother, so they will win over those ministers who are grassy on the wall, and Yongguo Gong is speechless."

At this time, King Hui, who was standing aside, said with a smile, instead of putting Yongguo Gong under house arrest, it is better to let the nobles cause chaos through him, and those nobles in Zhang Weixian's camp will definitely be hostile to and guard against those neutral nobles in Liu Wu's camp because they don't know the truth, which will then cause tension among the nobles

"The prince's hand is really high, so they don't have time to take care of themselves, so as not to find trouble."

King Hui's voice lagged behind, Zhang Guang, who was standing on the side, smiled and slapped a sycophant, he is now in high spirits, and after King Fu ascends the throne, he will be the first hero of the dragon, not to mention the duke and will become the head of the Ming Dynasty.

"Hope everything goes well!" King Fu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, turned around and walked back to the mansion, because the imperial city had closed the city gate at night, so he had to live in the Wuwei Hou Mansion tonight, and at the same time he had to discuss the next things with Zhang Guang.

At the same time that Zhang Weixian was imprisoned, several important nobles in Zhang Weixian's camp received a message that Zhang Weixian was going to discuss the matter, so they rushed to the British government unguarded.

When they arrived at the British Mansion, they found out that they had been deceived by King Fu, and Zhang Guang's soldiers had taken control of the British Mansion and took those nobles to the Wuwei Marquis Mansion for house arrest.

As a result, the main forces of the noble camp in the capital supporting the crown prince were wiped out by King Fu, and the remaining nobles were unable to stir up too much storm, and King Fu, who preemptively struck, took the most important step towards imperial power.

The news of Zhang Weixian and others being placed under house arrest spread throughout the capital overnight, causing an uproar, and King Fu and Zhang Guang did this as an out-and-out rebellion, and it also meant that the crown prince fell behind in the battle for succession.

The nobles invariably deployed troops to protect their homes to protect themselves, which made the atmosphere in the capital extremely tense in an instant, and the people were panicked, wondering if there would be a war between the nobles who supported the crown prince and the blessed king.

And the civil official group is even more surging about this matter, this is not only a matter of royal orthodoxy, but also will endanger the interests of the future, it is obvious that once King Fu ascends the throne, he will definitely reuse Zhang Han and others who support him and attack those who support the crown prince.

Li Hongyu, who was guarding the spirit in the Guande Palace, soon learned from the officials who came to pay tribute to King Fu's move to Zhang Weixian and others, and shook his head helplessly, the scene he didn't want to see inevitably happened.

For some reason, Li Hongyu admired Emperor Wanli's foresight at this time, if the new army was still in the camp outside the city, I am afraid that King Fu would deal with him for the first time.

Now that the new army has been transferred to Shanhaiguan, he has become safer, and he doesn't have to worry about King Fu attacking the new army, and he can be caught off guard by King Fu at that time.

But if you want to fight back against King Fu, one of the prerequisites is that you must get the edict of Emperor Wanli, otherwise the new army will violate the holy decree of Emperor Wanli when it enters Beijing, and the name will be unjustifiable, and the future will be endless.

Li Hongyu is not worried about the situation in the capital now, Liu Wu is embarrassed to take on the heavy responsibility, so when Zhang Weixian was placed under house arrest by King Fu, there was no military force in the capital that was Zhang Guang's opponent, which meant that there would be no major turmoil in the capital.

As a colleague in the capital, and also an important leader among the nobles, Li Hongyu naturally knows Zhang Guang very well, and his military attainments can be said to be the best among the nobles, and he is the most capable of fighting among the nobles, and has made great contributions in the three major expeditions of Wanli.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Guang was able to become one of the three leaders of the capital as a marquis, and his bravery and resourcefulness should not be underestimated.

Before the death of Emperor Wanli, the burly middle-aged man with the national character face who secretly conspired with Shi Hanfeng, the right chief of the Fuwang Mansion, was Zhang Guang, and the two had a friendship when the Fu King was in the capital, and Zhang Guang could only be crowned as a duke by supporting the Fu King, and then removed Zhang Weixian and Liu Wu, the two boulders that blocked his career, so Zhang Guang, who was unwilling to live under the people, chose to support the Fu King.

Once King Fu ascends the throne, then Zhang Guang is the first meritorious minister, and it is not a problem to add officials to the knighthood, and he will get more benefits than supporting the prince, anyway, King Fu and the prince are the sons of Emperor Wanli, and he is not a betrayal of the Ming Dynasty by doing so.

Li Hongyu was concerned about Zhao Xin's situation, although he didn't know what kind of difficulties Zhao Xin was facing, but he knew very well that the difficulties Zhao Xin had to face were very big, otherwise he wouldn't have entered the palace to see him now.

If possible, he would rather replace Zhao Xin to find the possible holy decree of troop transfer, but now he is most afraid that he will not find the holy decree but trap Zhao Xin, in that case, he will lose his wife and lose his troops, with Zhao Xin's appearance, once it is known that he is a daughter, then the consequences Li Hongyu can't imagine.

When Li Hongyu was worried about Zhao Xin, Zhao Xin was also secretly anxious, she had already heard about King Fu's house arrest of Zhang Weixian, so that the command of the Beijing army fell into Zhang Guang's hands.

Although Zhang Guang has no grudges with Li Hongyu, but his second son Zhang Quan is Li Hongyu's mortal enemy, when Li Hongyu went to Wuchang to take the township examination, Zhang Quan teased Qin Yue in Linjiang Building and was stabbed by Li Hongyu, and Zhang Quan later bought off the jailer of Wuchangwei Prison and almost assassinated Li Hongyu, and the two sides then formed a big beam.

Because Li Hongyu has become the champion of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Quan, who has always wanted to take revenge, can only hold back the hatred in his heart, but if Zhang Guang becomes the first hero to support King Fu and Li Hongyu supports the prince, then it is guaranteed that Zhang Quan and Zhang Guang will take the opportunity to kill Li Hongyu.

But Zhao Xin, like Li Hongyu, can only be anxious now, she has to wait for Chen Wendao's news, and only when she finds the senior deputy Qianhu can she return to Beijing to relieve Li Hongyu.

"My lord, my lord said that the people who are waiting for the adults will come to the government tomorrow morning, please prepare early."

Finally, that afternoon, when Zhao Xin was absentmindedly looking through an ancient book in the room, Chen Wendao's personal servant rushed to the inn where she was staying and reported respectfully.

"Into town!" Zhao Xin's face suddenly turned happy when she heard this, she threw the ancient books in her hand on the table, got up and shouted to the entourage standing at the door, she finally waited for a good news.

The next morning, the Hejian Mansion Office.

In a side room in the back hall of the mansion, Zhao Xin paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, feeling a little anxious:

After Deputy Gao Qianhu came to the mansion, Chen Wendao would bring him to this wing, and she was still not sure that Deputy Gao Qianhu really had the holy decree of transferring troops in his hands, and now everything was just speculation.

I don't know how long it took, the door of the wing room creaked open, Zhao Xin stopped and looked, only to see Chen Wendao leading a burly middle-aged man in.

"Zhao Hanlin!" The burly middle-aged man didn't expect someone to be in the room, so he was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Zhao Xin with a surprised expression.

"You know me?" Zhao Xin felt a little surprised, if she didn't guess wrong, this burly middle-aged man was Gao Deputy Qianhu, she had never seen Gao Deputy Qianhu before.

"Xia Guan saw Zhao Hanlin and Li Hanlin when he was on duty at the palace gate." Senior Deputy Qianhu bowed to Zhao Xin and replied in a deep voice.

"Brother Zhao, you talk, I'm next door." At this time, Chen Wendao said hello to Zhao Xin, closed the door and left quickly, of course he knew that Zhao Xin had something to say to Senior Deputy Qianhu.

"Senior Deputy Qianhu, what about the edict given to you by Emperor Daxing?" After Chen Wendao left, Zhao Xin stepped forward and asked the senior deputy Qianhu in a low voice.

Zhao ...... Zhao Hanlin, you ...... Do you know about the edict? Senior Deputy Qianhu was stunned when he heard this, looked at Zhao Xin with a shocked expression, and asked subconsciously, because of the sudden incident, he didn't react in his mind for a while.

"The edict is very important, and Emperor Daxing naturally has to make all preparations."

Zhao Xin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart when she saw this, and she knew that Li Hongyu had guessed correctly from the look of Senior Deputy Qianhu, so she forcibly suppressed the excitement in her heart, pretended to look at Senior Deputy Qianhu calmly and said, "After you disappeared, someone looked for the official and told the official that you had a crucial edict from the Emperor Daxing in your hand, so that the official would find you no matter what!" ”
