Chapter 445: Choice (7)
The eunuch who took the lead was slightly hesitant, Kong Sheng wanted to enter the Xuanzheng Yuan in their hands, but Zhang Yue, one of the leaders of the leader, did not come back together, which made the eunuch feel that something was not right - after a little hesitation, he still felt that he could not be the master, and decided to go in and ask Yu Chaoen's opinion.
The eunuch reluctantly smiled and arched his hand to Kong Sheng: "General Kong, please wait for a while, wait for a while, and wait for the miscellaneous family to go in and report to Your Majesty, and see if Your Majesty summons the general to meet you!" ”
The corners of Kong Sheng's mouth passed a hint of indifference. He knew that the eunuch must have gone back to report to Yu Chaoen. He was actually a little unexpected, he didn't expect Yu Chaoen to have such a great influence among the eunuchs of the inner palace.
In fact, Yu Chaoen did not have this energy, although he relied on the emperor's trust in a high position, but in fact, most of the time it was a fox and a fake tiger, and the so-called one-handed cover of the sky was just the daring anger of everyone who did not dare to speak. However, the reason why Yu Chaoen was able to incite so many people at this moment was mainly because they were a community of interests, and they were both prosperous and lossy.
In the inner palace, power alternates, which has always been a metaphor for the struggle between blood and fire. Yu Chaoen lost power, and there were not a few eunuchs in the inner palace who were implicated, and they had formed a huge chain of interests around Yu Chaoen, and Yu Chaoen's problem was exposed, and they could not escape the punishment of the Tang Dynasty. And Zhu Huiguang, the new head of the Inner Palace and the temporary provincial eunuch of the Inner Palace, is not a good stubble, and he also has a ruthless reputation among the eunuchs.
Therefore, in order to protect themselves, many eunuchs had to stand with Yu Chaoen and advance and retreat together.
The leader of the eunuchs secretly glanced at the accomplices around him, the tightly sealed place could not be relaxed at all, if the situation was slightly wrong, he would immediately close the gate of the palace, prepare a strong crossbow on the high wall, and then use the emperor and the emperor as hostages to fight against the outside world.
It is about the lives of this group of eunuchs, and no one dares to be careless.
Kong Sheng smiled, arched his hand and said, "Then there is Gonggong Lao."
The eunuch hurriedly returned to the Xuanzheng Palace, and at the gate of the palace, all the eunuchs on duty, both openly and secretly, widened their eyes, and the weapons in their hands were ready to be activated at any time.
As long as Kong Sheng and his entourage dared to act rashly, dozens of strong crossbows in the army could shoot him into a sieve without skin.
Kong Sheng looked left and right, and his heart sank darkly.
Obviously, a group of armed eunuchs has firmly controlled the three major halls of the Xuanzheng Yuan as a whole, because the emperor and the emperor are under their control, the situation is unknown, and they cannot attack it at all.
Kong Sheng is here? Yu Chaoen was informed, and his expression was slightly strange.
Zhang Yue didn't come back, which made him feel a little bad. But after all, the situation has not reached the worst level, and after a little hesitation, he still waved his hand and snorted coldly: "Tell Kong Sheng that Your Majesty has summoned all the courtiers and clans above the third rank, and let him wait outside the courtyard for others to come and meet Your Majesty together." ”
Originally, the eunuch who reported this report also wanted to suggest that Kong Shengzhi should be brought in first, and it would be beneficial and harmless. But how dare he argue with Yu Chaoen, Yu Chaoen just thinks that it doesn't make much sense to just take Kong Sheng, what they need now is "peace-peace-evolution-change", in the "group of harmony", the emperor abdicates, the old emperor is reinstated, and then canonized the heroes one by one, and the eunuchs in the inner province control the government and control the military power, which is enough.
Use of force...... That's when it's a last resort. At that time, it's basically the last trick to break the net.
The eunuch hurriedly walked out of the Xuanzheng Palace, hugged his fist to Kong Sheng and said: "General Kong, Your Majesty has an order, please wait outside the courtyard, and when the other courtiers arrive, they will enter the Xuanzheng Hall to meet Your Majesty." ”
Kong Sheng's eyes rolled, oh, nodded, and slowly retreated.
In fact, Kong Sheng didn't want to go in and take risks alone at all, so he just pretended to take a look, one was for the crown prince Li Yu to see, and the other was to test the movement in the courtyard. Now he has basically confirmed that Yu Chaoen and his gang of hundreds of armed eunuchs occupied the three major halls of the Xuanzheng Yuan and held the emperor and the emperor hostage.
Kong Sheng retreated to the bamboo forest, where the crown prince Li Yu and the Manchu ministers of civil and military affairs gathered, about a few hundred meters away from the Xuanzheng Yuan. All the courtiers had complicated expressions, and gathered in twos and threes on the periphery, while the crown prince Li Yu and some of his close ministers gathered together, and more than 100 forbidden army soldiers firmly guarded Zhang Yue, who had been bound and knelt on the ground, and a few eunuchs who had a Jinpa stuffed in their mouths.
Zhang Yue was suddenly taken down by Kong Sheng's people and became a prisoner, and his mood was panic and despair. But he still has a glimmer of hope and pins his hopes on Yu Chaoen. As long as the old emperor was successfully restored, his life could naturally be saved. And all the grievances suffered today can be recovered one by one.
Zhang Yue was forced to kneel on the grass, staring fiercely at Kong Sheng, who was walking slowly, and Li Yu, the crown prince who was standing not far away, with a majestic expression.
He is not a fool, knowing that the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty will not gather into the Xuanzheng Yuan, and the crown prince Li Yu and Kong Sheng will lead the army into the palace, which can only show that their conspiracy may be exposed. But Zhang Yue is still a little fearless, after all, the old emperor and the emperor are still in their hands, and the Xuanzheng Palace is guarded inside and outside the airtight, and there are fire oil and strong crossbows everywhere, even if Kong Sheng leads the forbidden army to attack the Xuanzheng Yuan, he must weigh it.
Unless these people don't want the emperor and the old emperor to save their lives.
Anyway, the big deal is death, and a group of eunuchs will die when they die, at most it will cause fierce discussions among the people after tea and dinner in Chang'an City; But if the emperor and the emperor died, it would be a major event that shook the world and shook the foundation of the Tang Empire.
Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on the corner of Zhang Yue's mouth.
The so-called barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, they have been forced to retreat, as long as the Tang magnates and the Li Tang clan are not afraid of losing the emperor, then fight to the death of a fish.
Kong Sheng's deep gaze stared at Zhang Yue, the great eunuch who was kneeling on the grass in front of him but still holding his neck and refusing to beg for mercy, Kong Sheng didn't know much about Zhang Yue before, and this person was not a famous eunuch in history. However, judging from the current situation, as a permanent servant in the province, Zhang Yue is the first person under Yu Chaoen, second only to Yu Chaoen in authority, and he is also a figure in the palace.
It's just that the power of the eunuch depends on the emperor, and the emperor can make you fly into the clouds with a word, or he can send you to hell with a word.
Kong Sheng knew that he had to take down Zhang Yue immediately, otherwise he would startle the snake. Zhang Yue didn't enter the Xuanzheng Yuan in a short period of time, Yu Chaoen was suspicious and uneasy at most, and it would not trigger the final rebound, but it was different after a long time.
Kong Sheng's gaze suddenly became murderous, his gaze was like a knife, and Zhang Yue was a little creepy. Although he has a little confidence, but Kong Sheng's methods are resolute and will never tolerate the personality of raising traitors, he understands something, and if he falls into Kong Sheng's hands, he will naturally not have good fruits to eat.
