Chapter 292: Palace Coup (Part II)
At night, Mao Xiang walked heavily to the Lin De Hall where the Empress Dowager Shen worked in the inner palace, and he knelt down in front of a two-story building, "Minister Mao Xiang knocks on the Queen Mother!" ”
Empress Dowager Shen's figure appeared in front of the window on the second floor, she glanced at Mao Xiang coldly, her eyes were cold and indifferent, "Mao Xiang, are you guilty?" ”
Cold sweat flowed down Mao Xiang's forehead, and the letter he saw in the study was a letter of allegiance he wrote to the Queen Mother half a year ago.
What does this mean? It means that all his movements have been mastered by the Queen Mother, and the operation to be carried out tomorrow night has already been known by the Queen Mother, and what kind of palace coup is still being talked about, I am afraid that he will be the first to be killed.
Frightened, Mao Xiang thought of his family, his children and grandchildren, he was frightened, and he no longer had the courage to serve Huangfu Tian, he had to come to ask the Queen Mother for his guilt and save his future and fate.
Mao Xiang kowtowed his head and said tremblingly: "The minister is guilty, and the minister is willing to make meritorious service to atone for his crimes!" ”
Empress Dowager Shen glanced at this person with disdain, for Empress Dowager Shen, her move was not to warn Mao Xiang, nor did she want to win back his heart, Empress Dowager Shen has extremely strong principles, she will never give any chance to anyone who swears allegiance to her, but betrays her, especially Mao Xiang is sixty-five years old, not only six, she will not give him a chance to repent.
The reason why I can see him again is just to let him know that he is no longer insignificant, Empress Dowager Shen beckoned, and two generals immediately came in outside the gate, kneeling down on one knee together, "The last general will see the Queen Mother!" ”
Mao Xiang saw these two people, he seemed to fall into the abyss, his eyes became dead, these two people in front of him were the left and right generals of the Yulin Army, Fan Zhi'an and Li Song, and they were also his two subordinates, each of whom controlled five thousand Yulin Army, Mao Xiang knew that he was being drawn from the bottom of the kettle, he kowtowed violently, "Queen Mother, give the minister another chance!" The Queen Mother, the minister is willing to serve the Queen Mother! ”
Empress Dowager Shen was already very tired of him, she waved her hand lightly, and more than a dozen guards rushed up from both sides, pressed him to the ground, and dragged him outside, Mao Xiang struggled while begging, "Queen Mother, the old minister knows that he is wrong, give me another chance!" ”
Empress Dowager Shen's heart was as hard as iron, and she ignored it, Mao Xiang was dragged down, and his pleading voice was heard from afar, "Queen Mother, spare me!" ”
The voice gradually faded away, and there was no sound, and the Empress Dowager Shen said softly to the two generals: "Two generals, Mao Xiang was loyal to the mourning family first, and now he betrayed the mourning family, because he can't tolerate him, but for the two generals, the mourning family is very important, tonight you serve the mourning family, and tomorrow you will be the general of the Yulin Army, and you will be knighted as the county duke." ”
Fan Zhian and Li Song were overjoyed, "I am willing to serve the Queen Mother!" ”
At this time, Huang Jing, the general of the embroidered guards, walked in, "Queen Mother, the embroidered guards have all returned to the city!" ”
Empress Dowager Shen nodded approvingly, the embroidered clothes guard really lived up to her reputation, and she returned in just half a day, which was very powerful.
"General Huang, you are solely responsible for tonight's actions, just do what the mourning family wants, and don't have any softness."
She said to the two generals again: "General Fan, General Li, tonight you temporarily obey the unified command of General Huang, and the mourning family will give you a satisfactory reward." ”
"Obey the order!"
Empress Dowager Shen stared at the direction of the little emperor's bedroom again, and she sighed slightly, "The affairs in the palace will be solved by the mourning family themselves!" ”
......... Anrenfang, Pengcheng County Wang Fu Luosong's house was full of carriages, nearly a hundred royal families gathered in Huangfu Luosong's mansion, the hall was in a mess, they had a final discussion, they had to finalize the details, who would lead the temporarily formed army, how to attack the palace, and how to deal with the aftermath.
Emperor Luo Song had undoubtedly become the leader of the imperial family, having served as a guard officer in the palace as a young man, and it was unanimously agreed that he would lead a provisional army of more than 10,000 manor families.
"Everyone, be quiet!"
Huangfu Luo Song was in a high mood, he stood on the high platform and waved his hand, "Please be quiet, please listen to me!" ”
Everyone quieted down, and Huangfu Luo Song took out a document and said loudly: "Regarding the specific plan for tomorrow's action, I have made a detailed plan, this will take time to discuss slowly, and we will discuss it in detail later, now let's discuss how to deal with the aftermath first?" ”
This is also a big problem, everyone's eyes are looking at him, Huangfu Luo Song said in a deep voice: "Our purpose is not only to get back our property, but also to protect our lives and property from being threatened, we are not sheep to be slaughtered, our goal is to request the implementation of the regent system, I have repeatedly negotiated with the emperor, and he also agreed, once we succeed, we will adopt the same system as Luojing, the regent plus the government hall system, the royal family will be the regent, and the Xiangguo can be allowed to form a government hall to be responsible for specific government affairs." ”
When Emperor Fu Luo Song said this, many of the older royal families were silent, and they had already heard the voice of Emperor Luo Song, that is, he would be the regent in the end.
Huangfu Qi, the king of Yingchuan County on the very edge, showed a slight sneer on his face, his Zhuang Ding was in the second place among all the royal families, with eight hundred people, second only to Huangfu Luozon, his heart was full of dissatisfaction, such a major matter was not discussed with him in advance.
He now understands why the emperor is so enthusiastic, it is for the regent, if the emperor dies in an accident, then as a royal family, he can inherit the throne justifiably, and play wishful thinking!
He stood up and said with a dry laugh: "Brother Luo Song, I don't know if this regent will be voted by everyone at that time, or if he will be ranked according to his seniority. ”
If you follow the qualifications, it is that he is the emperor, and he has been the king of the county for the longest time among the more than 100 people here.
Huangfu Luosong's face changed slightly, this Huangfu Qi actually saw through his plan, he quickly gave the Huangfu Juncheng beside him a look, Huangfu Juncheng understood, he got up and smiled: "Old prince, it's still too early to talk about this issue, because we will have to negotiate with the emperor and Uncle Shen at that time, not we can settle it now, but everyone here may become regents, there is no doubt about it." ”
Huangfu Qi understood what they meant, as long as they got the military power, they couldn't help everyone, he was unwilling, and said with a smile: "I think it's better to make these things clear, and my brothers have to settle accounts!" If you settle down early, everyone can work together to the outside world, and everyone says yes! ”
Many of the royal families present understood what he meant, and also understood the purpose of Huangfu Luosong, Huangfu Luosong is using their power to achieve their personal ambitions, and many people followed suit, "The old county king has a point, let's discuss it!" ”
But there are also those who object, "Now is not the time to discuss this, let's discuss how to act!" ”
Some were in favor and some were against, and there was chaos in the hall, and at that moment, the door slammed! The ground was knocked open, and one of his men rushed in and shouted in horror: "There are so many troops outside, we are surrounded!" ”
The hall seemed to have exploded in the nest, there was a big chaos, the royal family could not care about tomorrow's actions, in the face of life and death, only their own surname was the most important, everyone rushed to run out, Huangfu Luo Song shouted repeatedly: "Don't panic, everyone!" Don't mess around! ”
But to no avail, I don't know who knocked over the candlestick, and the hall suddenly became dark, and at this moment a large number of troops appeared at the door and windows of the synagogue, blocking all the escape routes of the room, and arrows rained down into the synagogue, and there was a scream and wailing in the darkness..... Outside the gate was already full of corpses, three thousand embroidered guards and Yulin troops surrounded the house of Huangfu Luosong, hundreds of family members were all killed, none of them escaped, Huang Jing, the general of the embroidered guards, coldly issued an order, "No one is allowed to be let go, all the royal family members who held the meeting were killed, and no one was left!" ”
At the same time, hundreds of embroidered guards rushed into Zhou Qilun and Xu Yun's house, and beheaded the two of them, leaving no one, not even children.
A brutal anti-palace coup kicked off in a bloody one.
........ Ping'an Palace, Huangfu Tian is still in his study, nervously planning tomorrow's action, he is very nervous and excited, the moment he is looking forward to is finally coming, suddenly, several little eunuchs rushed into the study and shouted in horror, "Your Majesty, there is an army!" There's an army out there! ”
Huangfu stood up calmly, "What are you nervous about!" What army? ”
"Your Majesty the Emperor, we are the Dragon Martial Army!"
The door of the study was wide open, and a hundred heavily armed soldiers poured in from outside, surrounding Huangfu Tian, and one person walked out from behind the soldiers, it was Shi Junjie, the general of the Longwu Army, who bowed his hand to Huangfu Tian, "Your Majesty, by the will of the Queen Mother, please leave the Emperor!" ”
Huangfu Tian already knew that the matter had been leaked, and he was flustered in his heart, but he still snorted heavily with a strong attitude, "I am the current emperor, do you dare not listen to me?" ”
"Your Majesty, it's useless."
Empress Dowager Shen walked in slowly from the outside, her eyes were full of pity and resentment, her own son actually wanted to overthrow her.
"Your Majesty, you are too tender, you can't make a big deal by relying on two useless scholars, the mourning family might as well tell you that the two of them have fallen to the ground."
Huangfu Tian was furious, pointed at her and scolded, "You demon! ”
Empress Dowager Shen rushed forward and slapped her, she said coldly: "You unfilial rebel, since you want to kill your mother, the mourning family does not have your son, from now on, you are no longer the emperor of Daning, the tiger poison does not eat children, and the mourning family does not kill you, you go to the mourning family to think about it for ten years!" ”
She waved her hand, "Take it away!" ”
The sergeants dragged Huangfu Tian down, and Empress Dowager Shen watched her son's thin body being dragged away, although he was only thirteen years old and was her own flesh and blood, but she had a feeling that her heart was as hard as iron at this time, and she didn't have the slightest mercy.
She gritted her teeth and ordered: "Go and tell Shen Qin that within an hour, let him leave Yongjing by himself, otherwise the mourning family would rather start a civil war!" ”
