PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

Due to the lack of food and worries about Jang Xuan's army, the Yuwen brothers finally decided to act in advance, but Yu Wenhua was afraid of startling the snakes, so he tried to maintain a calm atmosphere in the city, although patrols and inspections were strengthened, but it was not yet to the point of martial law and closing the city.

In the afternoon, the Yuwen brothers are making the final action arrangements in the military camp tent, and the time of the action is set at the third watch tonight, and the guards in the palace have all been replaced by their private army warriors, and their father Yuwen Shu has raised 8,000 private troops in the Xuzhou area, and all of them have arrived in Jiangdu more than a month ago, and will become the main force of tonight's operation.

At this time, there was a soldier outside the tent who reported, "General Qiyu, Cui Shilang of the Ministry of Engineering has an urgent matter to see!" ”

Yuwen Zhi was stunned and asked, "Did my brother ask him to come?" ”

Yu Wenhua shook his head, "I didn't look for him. ”

Since Cui Zhao is in a hurry, he might as well see him, and Yu Wenhua immediately ordered: "Please let him in." ”

Not long after, the soldiers brought in Cui Zhao, the squire of the Ministry of Works, Cui Zhao was the first to defect to Yuwenshu and was promoted, after Yuwenshu's death, he asked Pei Ju to take a relationship through marriage, but Pei Ju did not look down on his son Cui Wenxiang and canceled the marriage, which made Cui Zhao very frustrated.

But as Yu culture and power gradually became bigger, Cui Zhao did not hesitate to join the Yuwen family again, and became the eyes and ears of Yu culture and hundreds of officials.

He walked into the big tent and saluted, and then said nervously: "General Qiyu, the intelligence is not good, and the officials from Hebei have fled." ”

Yu Wenhua was stunned, "How can this be, Cui Yuanjun is mistaken!" ”

"It's true. It was Cui Huan who left a letter to his old servant, who was illiterate and came to me, only to know that they had all left. ”

Cui Zhao said, and handed the letter that Cui Huan left to the old servant to Yu Wenhuahe, who hurriedly read it. Cui Huan said in the letter that he would go back to his hometown Qinghe County first, and asked the old servant to pack his luggage and go to Qinghe County to meet.

Yu Wenhua was taken aback, and asked anxiously: "Who else is gone?" ”

"All Hebei officials have been withdrawn, just this afternoon, I don't know how to leave, what is the situation of other officials, I don't have time to confirm."

Woo immediately realized that their plan was likely to be leaked, and it must be Jaang-hyun who was transferring important officials. He walked out of the big tent and ordered: "Go and pass my order quickly, there are bandits in the city, all the city gates are closed, notify the whole city, martial law will be imposed in the city in half an hour, no one is allowed to go to the streets, and those who dare to go to the streets will be killed!" ”

At this time, Yuwen Zhiji stepped forward and whispered, "Big brother." I'm worried that Jang Hyun will inform Gangdugong. ”

Yu Wenhua nodded, this was also his worry. He sneered and said, "As long as the inner palace is sealed and no one is allowed to enter, the faint monarch will become a turtle in our urn." ”

Cui Zhao's whistleblowing caused the situation in Jiangdu to change abruptly, and Yu Wenhua tore off the pretense of calm and began to implement full martial law, and the city gate was closed. Everyone was driven home, and the streets were empty, except for bands of patrolling soldiers running down the streets.

Jiangdu Palace has been surrounded by tens of thousands of troops, and most of the officials are trapped in the palace, except for a few officials who have fled in advance or asked for leave to stay at home. Ordered to stay in the government office and not allowed to leave, the officials were panicked and speculated about what might happen, but in fact, many officials guessed that there was a very high probability of a mutiny, which made them very worried, and everyone was in danger.

In the Internal History Department, dozens of officials gathered together to discuss, and Feng Deyi, a member of the Inner History Agency, said in a low voice: "I heard that Zhang Xuan has received the news and notified many officials to evacuate at noon today, has anyone here been notified?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and one of them asked, "How did Jang Hyun get the news?" ”

"Do you need to ask? He must have planted a large number of spies in Jiangdu, and before Lu Zhuo served as a pacification envoy and went to the Central Plains to inspect the disaster, I am afraid that he would find out that something was wrong at that time. ”

"Hey! In fact, everyone should know that Yu Wenhua has mastered the military power, and sooner or later there will be a mutiny, only the saint is confused, and he trusts him so much? ”

"Be careful not to talk nonsense, watch your head!"

"Whether you can survive until tomorrow is still a question, what else can't be said now?"

Everyone was silent again, and at this time, Feng Deyi said slowly: "Don't hide it from you, in fact, I also got a notice to evacuate, I had already gotten into the carriage, but the city gate suddenly closed, and I couldn't go, and I was called back to Jiangdu Palace by the soldiers as soon as I met my family, alas! fell short, and almost got away. ”

"Me too!"

Wei Xun, the young secretary of Dali Temple, said with a wry smile: "I have arrived at the city gate, and I am about to leave the city, but a soldier came to give an order, saying that no one is allowed to go out of the city, so I was stopped back, and it is estimated that someone went to tell the truth." ”

"Damn informants!" Everyone scolded.

At this time, an official asked again: "Sealer, do you think Zhang Xuan will notify the inner palace and let the saint prepare?" ”

Feng Deyi shook his head and said: "It's no longer realistic to notify the inner palace, but I heard that Zhang Xuan notified King Yan, so I don't know if King Yan can pass the news into the palace." ”

"Even the guards have been changed, and it is estimated that King Yan will not be able to do anything!"

Just when everyone was talking and discussing, in the Jixian Palace, Yan Wang Yang Qi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth with his hands in his hands, he got the news sent by Wang Zhongfu, Yu Wenhua and it was likely that there would be a mutiny, but Wang Zhongfu was no longer able to enter the inner palace, and Yang Qi had to let a eunuch from the imperial dining room go to the inner palace to deliver a letter.

But at this time, Yan Wang Yang Qi himself was also monitored, and there were more than 20 soldiers of unknown origin standing at the gate of Jixian Palace, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

At this time, there was a commotion at the door of the hall, and someone faintly shouted: "I have something urgent to see Your Highness!" ”

Yang Qi hurriedly walked to the door of the palace, and his heart suddenly felt cold, it was the eunuch he had just sent to the inner palace to deliver the letter, he was stopped by the soldiers, he obviously did not enter the inner palace, the eunuch saw Yang Qi, and shouted: "Your Highness, there is no rice in the imperial dining room"

Before he finished speaking, he was knocked over by a punch from the soldier and dragged down, Yang Qi only felt that he had stepped on the air, and the eunuch was telling him that he could not enter the imperial dining room.

At this moment, a laughing voice suddenly came from behind Yang Qi, "These guards are stupid, they think it's okay to guard the palace gate?" ”

Yang Qi turned his head sharply and looked behind him incredulously, there was a wet little palace maid standing in the corner behind him, it turned out to be the imperial aunt Yang Ji'er, "Imperial aunt, how did you get in?" Yang Qi's eyes widened.

Yang Ji'er pursed her lips and smiled: "I climbed in from the garden vines, you can't think of it!" ”

"Then how did you get out of the inner palace?"

"From under the water! The fools passed over my head and didn't see me, and the queen told me to ask, 'What's the matter?' ”

Yang Qi was like a treasure, and hurriedly said: "The imperial aunt is going to report to the emperor's grandfather, Yu Wenhua is about to launch a mutiny, just tonight!" ”

Yang Ji'er's face was suddenly full of anger, "I said that these guards have changed, it turns out that the dog thing wants to do evil, so I will go and tell my father." ”

She turned around and left, walked a few steps, and then turned back and asked strangely, "Won't you go with me?" ”

Yang Qi shook his head, "I want to stabilize the hundred officials and maintain the overall situation, I can't go." ”

"Hey! What a little master. ”

Yang Ji'er sighed, turned around and left, Yang Qi watched her disappear into the garden, only then did he breathe a long sigh of relief, he slowly pulled out the spur that Jang Hyun gave him from his boots, if he saw Yu Wenji, he would not hesitate to stab this traitor to death.

.......

The time has come to two watches, the night is dark, there are nearly a thousand soldiers standing in front of the Xuanwu Gate of Jiangdu Palace, led by Pei Qiantong, this is the most important passage to the Inner Palace, in addition to here, there is the waterway Fanglin Gate, but the sluice gate of Fanglin Gate has been lowered, and hundreds of soldiers are also deployed there, led by Captain Linghu Xingda.

At this moment, a sound of horses' hooves came, and I saw a general walking quickly with dozens of soldiers carrying lanterns, and the person who came was Dugu Sheng, the general of the Right Tun Guard, Dugu Sheng's original surname was Li, and his ancestral home was Qi County, because his grandfather became the general of Dugu Xin in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so he changed his surname to Dugu.

Dugu Sheng is an important force of the Dugu family in the Xiaoguo army, although the Jiangdu coup was supported and planned by the Guanlong nobles behind the scenes, but in fact the Yuan family was fully responsible, Dugu Shun kept an eye on it, and did not want to get involved in the murder scandal, so he did not tell Dugu Sheng about it, so Dugu Sheng knew nothing about the mutiny plan.

Although Dugu Sheng did not know the mutiny plan, but he himself was a very upright general, loyal to his duties, and extremely hated Yu Wenhua, he was supposed to be on duty tonight, but was replaced by Yu Wenhua and Sima Dejiao, he rested at home, but the unexpected martial law in the whole city made Dugu Sheng suspicious, so he led dozens of personal soldiers to check the situation, and happened to meet Pei Qiantong in Xuanwu Gate.

"General Pei, what's going on, why is the Xiaoguo Army besieging the palace?"

Dugu Sheng saw thousands of soldiers gathered in front of the Xuanwu Gate, all covered in armor, murderous, and more importantly, these soldiers were dressed strangely, each wearing a red helmet, and the right arm was wrapped with a white veil, unlike the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army, he suddenly became suspicious, pointed at these soldiers and asked Pei Qiandao sharply: "Who are they?" ”
