Chapter 214: Midnight Situation Changes (Part II)

Han Shunyi was pacing back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, he was very nervous in his heart, there was no sign at all, Huangfu Wujin suddenly came to tell him that there was going to be a change in Jiangning Mansion tonight and arrest the members of the Chu royal family.

Han Shunyi did not object to the arrest of Shen Qiwu and others, on the contrary, he would clap his hands and welcome him, but he was worried that it was the capital, and what would happen to the capital within ten days? Will the emperor really die? There is no doubt that Huangfu Wujin is the crown prince's person, and the key now is, will the prince really carry out a coup d'Γ©tat in ten days?

Although he also knew that the news of the crown prince's coup d'Γ©tat within ten days might not be reliable, judging from what happened in Jiangning Mansion, if Huangfu Wujin really started to arrest the people of the Chu royal family, then the prince would definitely have to act in the near future.

He was in a hurry, and his hands behind his back were like ants on a hot pot, when he suddenly stopped and listened intently, and he seemed to hear something, the sound of running footsteps.

He rushed to the door of the house, only to see a housekeeper running out of breath, "Master! ”

"How's it going out there? Say it! Han Shunyi was so anxious that he was about to jump to his feet.

"The situation outside.... Big bad! ”

Jia Ding was out of breath and said: "There are many plum blossom guards on the street, and they have sealed off Changgan Street. ”

Han Shunyi's legs were weak, and he almost sat on the ground, Changgan Street was where the county government was located, and Shen Qiwu's mansion was also there, and Huangfu Wujin really did it.

He suddenly thought of something, immediately turned around and returned to the study, took out an ivory box from the dark compartment behind the bookshelf, opened the box, and inside the box was a golden gold medal, which was the gold medal for the transfer of troops in Chuzhou by Emperor Xuande of Daning, with this gold medal you can mobilize the 250,000 troops of Chuzhou, and there is a secret decree next to it.

He slowly opened the secret decree, and inside was the handwriting of Huangfu Xuande: Huangfu Yingjun is hereby appointed as the governor of Chuzhou, commanding the three armies of Chuzhou, and controlling the counties of Chuzhou...... Han Shunyi closed his eyes, thinking back to the secret conversation between the emperor and him on the eve of his appointment as the governor of Jiangning Mansion, "When the prince goes to Chuzhou, he should always pay attention to the movements of the emperor and the emperor, and report to me every move. ’

So today, Huangfu Wujin led the army to arrest the backbone of the Chu Dynasty, is it considered an abnormal movement?

Han Shunyi pondered for a moment, then he took another piece of gauze and silk paper, and wrote on it with a thin pen: 'The prince is different, Jin has arrested Uncle Shen's party......

When he had finished writing the letter, he took a small stamp from his neck and stamped it, carefully dried the ink, slowly folded it, and put it into a red wooden pipe, which was specially made with a live buckle.

Han Shunyi, who is usually heavy, behaved very dexterously at this time, he walked all the way, came to the back garden, walked to a small courtyard in the northwest corner, took out the key and opened the door, the yard was very quiet, there was a small pigeon cage on the wooden frame, making a cooing sound, there were only three pigeons in it, Han Shunyi felt out a pigeon, carefully buckled the woodpipe live buckle on the pigeon's leg, he threw it upwards suddenly, and the pigeon spread its wings in a daze and flew towards the night sky...... Watching the pigeon fly away, Han Shunyi let out a long breath, he remembered the gold medal that was very important, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed in his heart, in this situation, should he give the emperor handsome?

....... "It's out!" ”

In an alley opposite the west wall, two dark shadows suddenly saw a pigeon flapping its wings and flying out, and the two of them suddenly became nervous, and their four eyes were fixed on the pigeon, and the moment the pigeon flew over their heads, one of them saw a small pipe on the pigeon's leg.

"It's the pigeon that delivered the letter!"

The two glanced at each other, and one got up and said, "Go and report, you continue to star." ”

After saying that, he spread his legs and galloped away into the night.... Changgan Street can be called one of the political centers of Jiangning City, and the county government, the salt and iron transfer department, as well as Shen Qiwu's mansion and the county Cheng's mansion are all concentrated on this street less than a mile long.

At this time, the street was already a firelight hunting, the red light of the fire illuminated the street, three thousand plum guard sergeants completely controlled the entire street, blocking the entrances on both sides, no entry or exit, and the Longzang River behind the street was full of thirty large boats, blocking the river.

At the same time, hundreds of sergeants have rushed into the county yahou house and Shen Qiwu's house, and took Jiangning Shaoyin Shen Qiwu and the county commander Zuo Yundou out of the mansion, Shen Qiwu was pushed by several soldiers, but he was still looking around, looking for something, suddenly, he saw that in a team of cavalry more than ten steps away, Huangfu Wujin was looking at him coldly, without a trace of expression on his face.

"The emperor has no promotion!"

Shen Qiwu shouted, "Why are you arresting me? ”

Huangfu Wujin slowly raised Shang Fang's sword horizontally, and slowly pulled the sword away, Shen Qiwu was stunned, he faintly saw the words engraved on the sword, although he couldn't see it clearly, he still immediately guessed, it was Shang Fang's sword, did something happen to his father?

"On the emperor's secret order, arrest the henchmen of the King of Chu!"

Shen Qiwu's face changed greatly, and the county commander Zuo Yundou trembled with horror, collapsed to the ground, and was dragged into the big boat by the sergeants, Shen Qiwu was also pushed off the big boat and imprisoned, and then several important officials of Jiangning Mansion and the county Cheng and the county lieutenant were also arrested, and their families were also placed under house arrest in the mansion and were not allowed to enter or leave with anyone.

Clearing Uncle Shen's power in Jiangning Mansion is not just a show for Han Shunyi, this is the need for Huangfu Wujin to fully control Jiangning Mansion.

And not only Jiangning Mansion, Danyang County, Yanling County, Jinling County, Yuhang County and Donghai County, these other five counties must also be under his control, this is the core strategic place of Chuzhou, only these five counties and one mansion occupy two percent of the Daning Dynasty's tax silver and three percent of the grain output, and these five counties also deploy 100,000 soldiers in Jiangdong at the same time.

At this time, Zhang Rong behind Wujin was a little worried and said: "Your Highness, although I have no objection to the elimination of the Chu royal line, after all, they are all parents and officials, and I am worried that arresting them like this will cause chaos in the city." ”

Wu Jin glanced at him and said with a smile: "This is what I want to entrust you, I hope you can support the situation and maintain order in the city, I will send the army to help you with all my might, in addition, the county governor and the county lieutenant are not the backbone of Uncle Shen, as long as they write a letter of allegiance to the prince, I will let them continue to be officials, and the problem will not be too serious." ”

Zhang Rong actually understood in his heart that Wujin may not be really loyal to the prince, but he didn't want to say it, so it was okay, loyal to the prince, most of the officials in the counties could accept it, if it was loyal to King Liang, I am afraid it would be really chaotic, and Wujin had Shangfang's sword in hand, and the officials did not dare to disobey.

Zhang Rong secretly marveled in his heart at the boldness of Huangfu Wujin, he dared to take down Shang Fang's sword and pretend to pass on the holy decree, is it wise for him to follow him like this? But he seems to have gotten on the thief ship of Wujin.

Zhang Rong's heart was very chaotic, and he felt that he was already a little involuntarily.

"Your Highness!" Behind him, a Plum Guard sergeant rushed in.

Wu Jin recognized him as the sergeant in charge of monitoring Han Shunyi's mansion, and hurriedly turned his horse's head to greet him, "How is it, is there a situation?" ”

"Back to Your Highness! There were indeed carrier pigeons flying out of the courtyard wall in the northwest corner of the mansion. "Sure enough, it's him! ”

Wujin finally determined that Huangfu Xuande's eyeliner buried in Jiangning Mansion was indeed this cowardly and incompetent Han Shunyi, this was a piece of information given to him by Jiang Yan, Han Shunyi had been secretly received by Huangfu Xuande twice before he became the Yin of Jiangning Mansion, and there was a mystery hidden in it.

Wu Jin turned around and ordered the soldiers, "It is strictly forbidden for everyone in Jiangning City to send out pigeon letters, and the pigeons will be confiscated!" ”

The soldiers agreed violently, galloped around, and confiscated the carrier pigeons from house to house according to the list, Wu Jin explained a few words to Zhang Rong, then turned the horse's head and waved to the cavalry behind him, "Follow me!" ”

Nearly a thousand cavalry followed Wujin and galloped towards the palace........ The palace is on another street parallel to Changgan Street, about three miles apart, only a moment, more than a thousand cavalry surrounded Han Shunyi's mansion, more than a dozen plum blossom guard sergeants first climbed over the wall from the northwest corner to enter, where Han Shunyi's pigeon flew out, the first thing is to control Han Shunyi's pigeon cage first, so that he does not have any chance to send a letter to the capital.

Immediately after that, dozens of Plum Blossom Guard sergeants kicked open the side door of the mansion, and a large group of Plum Blossom Guard sergeants rushed into Han Shunyi's mansion.

Han Shunyi had already put on his official uniform and was waiting for Huangfu Wujin to send someone to inform him, he was still very willing to hold the power of Jiangning Mansion in his heart, and he thought that this was two different things from reporting to the emperor secretly.

Just as he was excitedly waiting for the news, suddenly there was a chaotic running sound in the yard, no one reported him, Han Shunyi was a little stunned, he slowly stepped forward and opened a crack in the study door, but 'bang!' With a loud bang, the door of his study was kicked open, and the door flicked heavily in his face, which immediately made him dizzy and fell to the ground, and before he could react, more than a dozen plum blossom guard soldiers had rushed in, and several people pushed him to the ground and tied him up with their backhands.

"What are you doing here?"

Han Shunyi yelled angrily when he saw the soldiers rummaging through the cabinets in his study, but before he could shout a second time, his body froze suddenly, and he saw that the two soldiers had already opened the bookshelf and found his secret cabinet.

"Found it!"

The two soldiers shouted excitedly at the same time, and the soldiers rushed up together, pried open the wall door with their knives, and took out all the contents inside.

At this time, Huangfu Wujin walked in with a smile, "Let Lord Han be frightened, it's just a routine, Lord Han doesn't need to be too nervous." ”

"The emperor has no Jin, you ......"

Han Shunyi suddenly realized that he had been fooled, the news of the prince's rebellion must be false, he became Jiang Gan of the Three Kingdoms, Han Shunyi felt remorse and hatred in his heart, at this time, a soldier came in with a pigeon cage, "Your Highness, both pigeons are carrier pigeons." ”

Han Shunyi's heart jumped wildly, he saw that the soldier searched the paper and tube where he wrote the pigeon letter, and also found a pigeon letter he wrote, he was extremely nervous, he suddenly broke free of the soldier's hand, ripped off the small seal hanging around his neck, and stuffed it into his mouth, without waiting for him to swallow, but was punched in the face by the soldier, and immediately fainted, the soldier took out a small seal from his mouth and handed it to Huangfu Wujin.

Huangfu Wujin took the seal in his hand and sneered at him disdainfully, at this time, he was attracted by the ivory box on the table, slowly picked up the heavy ivory box, opened it, and suddenly, the golden gold medal made Wujin's pupils shrink into a line in an instant.
