- Today is a dark day, and the moon is not visible for the whole night.

That red firework was like a starting bomb, which made Bianjing City, which was originally as quiet as water, nervous to the peak all of a sudden!

The lights in Luwang's Mansion are bright, and Zhao Zongshi, who has been 'bedridden', is pacing quickly in the study at this moment, how can he be a little sick all over his body? He was the most anxious tonight, because everyone else was in the dark at first, and only he and Meng Yang knew what would happen tonight.

He naturally also has eyeliner, and agreed to send the message out as soon as possible, but he waited and waited, but he didn't wait for the signal of his own people, but he saw the firework.

"This must be Zhao Shu's people reporting the news." After listening to the report, Meng Yang suddenly opened his eyes and said: "If you dare to risk this kind of disapproval, it means that the official family is no longer good!" ”

"Hmm!" The night in April was quite cool, but Zhao Zongshi was sweating profusely, wiped his forehead with a handkerchief and said, "Then, let's do it according to the plan." ”

"Huh." Although Meng Yang's heart was also like playing a drum, he still squeezed out a smile to calm the prince, "These things, Han Xianggong and Wang Shuxiang will come later, they can arrange it, you don't need the prince to worry about it, you just need to pretend to be your filial son." ”

"It's okay......" Zhao Zongshi's laughter was more ugly than crying, and he smiled like a night owl: "His father and son finally lost to my father and son, haha......"

Meng Yang sighed lightly, today's death of Zhao Zhen is still due to the old prince, it turns out that if a person dies, he can be more powerful than a living person!

After waiting for the tea, Zhao Zongshi frowned and said, "Why didn't the old woman come to call me into the palace?" ”

"It may be that Zhao Zhen hasn't breath......ed yet," Meng Yang calmly analyzed: "After all, it's not poison, he should just be in a coma now." ”

"Is it possible for him to wake up?" Zhao Zongshi was shocked.

"Not anymore." Meng Yang shook his head and said, "It's a miracle to wake up the second time, this is the third time......"

"......" Zhao Zongshi held down his beating heart and said in a trembling voice: "That's good." ”

At this time, the family in the house. Bring in Han Qi, Wang Gongchen, and Wu Kui. They were all called up from their beds, and when they saw the prince calling each other late at night, they knew that something great would happen. But when Zhao Zongshi announced that Zhao Zhen was unconscious and would never wake up, the three of them were still speechless in shock.

In advance, in order to maintain as much confidentiality as possible. Zhao Zongshi didn't know how many ministers he would meet, and even his brother didn't know about it, so he could hide it from Chen Ke!

Han Qi was the first to react. The dumb voice asked, "May I ask the prince for details?" ”

One sentence made Zhao Zongshi speechless, how could he talk about it? Don't you admit that you killed the king?

"That's right." Meng Yang hurriedly answered: "It's the eyeliner in our palace who risked death to report it!" ”

"Isn't that the firework?" Wu Kui asked.

"Yes." Meng Yang couldn't care about it so much, nodded and said, "That's it." ”

"That's ......" Seeing that Zhao Zongshi refused to tell the truth. Han Qi was silent, obviously the death of the official family, the prince could not escape the blame. Do you want to help him to the end? It's important to assess the risks...... After all, Han Xianggong has no discipline. He is inappropriate to be a rebel and thief, even if Zhao Zongshi succeeds in ascending to the pole. I also want to leave a stain on the history books.

Wang Gongchen and Wu Kui became excited, "This is really God's eyes, it can be seen that the prince is a man of destiny, and no one can disobey him!" ”

"I just don't know if the official family has left an edict...... Han Qi said quietly.

"Uh......" The crowd was poured with cold water.

"It doesn't matter if it has any edicts!" Meng Yang said categorically: "At this time, two things are fundamental, one is Empress Cao. The emperor is dead, and she is in charge of the country. Even if there is any testament. You can also let her abolish that one and re-establish the British Lord! The other is the army, whoever has the army in his hands and who can control the capital will have the final say! ”

His almost crazy remarks made Wang Gongchen and Wu Kui also break out in a cold sweat, this is to do it with their heads!

"The palace gate hasn't been opened until now, and it looks like it won't be opened before dawn." Meng Yang said in a deep voice: "The top priority is to control the capital in your hands!" ”

"Capital Defense...... It's all in the hands of Na Di Qing and his son. Wu Kui smiled bitterly.

Speaking of the defense of the capital, it naturally includes three aspects, one is the garrison inside the city, the other is the garrison outside the city, and the other is the power to guard the city gate. The 240,000 garrison forbidden troops in Bianjing City were under the jurisdiction of the three divisions of the Janissaries. The forbidden army under the jurisdiction of the palace front division is basically stationed in Beijing. The armies of the Infantry Division and the Ma Military Division of the guards were stationed in the barracks outside the city to defend the capital.

As for the guards of the city gate, the Imperial City Division is in charge, and the Ouchi guards are also under the control of the Imperial City Division.

Obviously, the Imperial City Division and the Palace Front Division are the key to the defense of the capital. Whoever masters these two institutions will be able to control the capital and even decide on the abolition of the throne!

What's worse is that these two yamen are actually in the hands of Di Qing's father and son! And the relationship between the father and son and Zhao Zongshi, Han Qi, and Wang Gongchen is really ...... The worse couldn't be worse.

The cause of the past bears the fruit of today. If it weren't for the chaos that was brewed in the palace back then, how would you face such a situation today?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"It doesn't matter, the father and son are just dogs on a leash." Meng Yang looked at Wang Gongchen and said, "Without the troop transfer talisman in the hand of the prime minister, he can't move any number of troops!" And the guards are all in command of the Infantry Division and the Cavalry Division, and they are all from our side. As soon as the morning dawned, the two forbidden troops stationed outside the city were transferred into the city......"

"Do you want fire?" Wang Gongchen shook his head and said, "Those generals are as slippery as ghosts, and they won't listen to the tune easily." ”

"It's time for this time and that time," Meng Yang sneered: "My prince has the support of Empress Cao, and Zhao Shu is far away in Hebei, and there is no suspense about the throne of the Great Song Dynasty!" Whether they want to make a contribution to the dragon, or be settled by the queen of the autumn, it all depends on the performance of this joint! ”

"And the possibility of fire and merger is very small," Wu Kui also nodded and said: "That Di Qing is as timid as a mouse, and he is most afraid of being treated as a chaotic minister and thief, and Bacheng will obediently stand aside and let us take over the city defense." ”

"Well, the cardinal minister might as well give him an order to let his two soldiers and horses stay put," Meng Yang nodded and said, "I'll try out his quality at once!" ”

"Okay then......" Wang Gongchen also thought clearly at this time, Meng Yang's words were actually said to himself, once the prince ascended to the pole, the ups and downs of honor and disgrace in the next few decades all depend on his performance today. If you don't sell your life at this time, just wait for your life in the future......

"But there is a troop, but don't transfer it into the capital." Meng Yang thought for a moment and said, "It's the Dongchuan Army that is now renamed the Zhongwu Army!" "The sequence of the forbidden army in the Song Dynasty was not fixed, sometimes some troops were transferred out of the capital because of need, and some local elites who had made military achievements would be promoted to the forbidden army and transferred to the capital to station.

The Dongchuan Army is the latter case, they are divided into two because of their courage in the southwest, half of which will still be garrisoned in Dongchuan City, and half will be named the Zhongwu Army, which will be incorporated into the Infantry Division of the Guards and Guards, and stationed in the old camp of Jinmingchi outside Bianjing City.

For Zhao Zongshi's side, the 20,000 people who are fully loaded are definitely a disaster!

"Just transfer them away." Wu Kuidao.

"It's too late, it's not so easy to pull out the army." Wang Gongchen shook his head and said: "And those southern barbarians, whether they listen to the tune or not, they will talk twice." At this juncture, it would be troublesome if a mutiny was provoked. The best way is to ignore them for now, and when the overall situation is decided, don't you concoct it at will? ”

"Hmm." Meng Yang nodded and said, "As long as you keep them out of the city, there is no threat." If they dare to attack Bianjing, they will be chaotic ministers and thieves. We can justifiably destroy them! ”

The discussion stopped, and the three of them all looked at Han Qi, in the final analysis, this is their backbone. Han Xianggong's surprising silence made them feel very unsure.

"In the final analysis, it still depends on whether you can master the city defense." Han Qi had already figured it out, he had been on this boat for too long and couldn't get off. Besides, Zhao Zongshi's winning margin is still very large, if he drops the chain at this time, it is equivalent to all the previous investments in vain. In any case, we have to let Zhao Zongshi win!

Thinking of this, he collected his feelings and cheered himself up: "Now is indeed a good opportunity to turn defeat into victory." We must do everything possible to stabilize the situation and not make a mess. Now the most important thing is Di Hanchen, his father and son are in charge of an army of 100,000 and control the defense of the capital, and he is also in charge of the internal guards, without the support of this person, everything is in vain. After a pause, he said, "Even if someone can remain neutral, we can win this game." ”

"Yes," Wang Gongchen thought for a while and said honestly: "But his father and son are cronies of the official family, and they have always only listened to the official family, so I can't control it." What's more, their father and son have a very good personal relationship with Chen Ke, so they are afraid that they will do bad things. ”

"You don't have to worry about Di Hanchen's side, the old man will deal with it." Han Qi said slowly: "You have to do another thing, and that is to get rid of Chen Ke!" ”

"Ahh This is a hard bone, and he is so soft-spoken that he can neither speak in the palace nor have an army in his hands. Wu Kui frowned and said, "Why don't you wait until the prince ascends to the pole before concocting him." ”

"Yes......" Zhao Zongshi has a strong interest in slowly ravaging Chen Ke.

"The prince's words are wrong!" Han Qi said coldly: "He is the soul of Zhao Shu's party, Zhao Shu is not in the capital, and all the power is mobilized by him." If he kills him, he will abolish the head of Zhao Shu and his party, and even if they fight back, they will fight on their own, and they will not succeed. By the time Zhao Shu returned, the overall situation had already been decided, so he could only obediently bow his head and be a subordinate. ”

"But this man is very difficult to deal with." Meng Yang had a great understanding of Chen Ke's hardness and said: "The masters around him are like clouds, but I am afraid that I will not succeed." ”

"At this time, you still use that kind of indiscriminate means?" Han Qi snorted coldly and said, "Charge him with rebellion, and send the army to destroy it!" ”

He said quietly, but when he heard it, it made people tremble, the four of them looked at each other, and said in their hearts that they really had to let Han Xianggong take the idea, this is the real commander! ――
