Chapter 459: Palace Change

Under the corridor of the Qianqing Palace, Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department, stood there with a worried face.

"I heard that His Majesty's edict not only made Liu Jiye the king of Han, but also appointed him alone as the minister of the new monarch, and let him have full authority to oversee state affairs before the Son of Heaven came to power?"

"Yes." Wu Fu looked much older. "Maybe Your Majesty's last words haven't been finished yet, but it's a pity that Your Majesty has passed away."

"Then wouldn't he Liu Jiye become the regent? How can this be reasonable, the Ming Dynasty has never had such a thing. How can this work, do you want the ancestral system anymore, and why did Your Majesty go to Xishan to manipulate the artillery, and why did the artillery explode? Why didn't those guards and soldiers who accompanied him dissuade His Majesty, and why didn't they protect His Majesty. I suspect it won't be that simple. ”

"Don't talk nonsense about things without evidence."

"It's not complete nonsense, His Majesty's guards and pro-army are all Liu Jun's old troops, from officers to soldiers. There is also the cannon of His Majesty's dragoon company, which is also transferred from the guard pro-army, the cannon made by the Chu army has always been excellent, and it is impossible to guard the equipment of the pro-army but the reason is shoddy, and since it is a cannon transferred to His Majesty's hands, has it not been tested in advance, why does His Majesty blow it up as soon as it is used? If there are no ghosts in this, I will never believe it. ”

"But His Majesty's edict established the king to succeed to the throne and ordered Liu Jiye to assist the government. Your Majesty didn't let me assist the government, what face does the old man in the court still have, I am ready to wait for His Majesty's funeral to be over, and then resign and return home. ”

Chen Xinjia was anxious, and his beard shook angrily. "Yuanfu is confused, when has this been, you are still thinking about a person. Have you ever thought about it, in case the artillery explosion is not an accident, then have you thought about the terrible possibility here? At this time, only Yuanfu can suppress Liu Jiye, if you go, it will be the relatives and enemies. King Ding is only ten years old, and he still doesn't understand anything, if Liu Jiye is allowed to assist the government alone. More than 200 years of the Ming Dynasty is coming to an end. ”

Wu Fu didn't hear it at all, but he didn't refute it, just remained silent.

"Yuansuke, don't care about anything else for now, I think the first priority is to immediately disarm the guards and pro-army, these people are seriously derelict in their duties, and they are no longer qualified to guard the Imperial City of Miyagi and the accompanying guards."

"What do you take?" Wu Fu said, "Although the number of guards is small, there are more than 10,000 guards in the imperial city, palace guards, and attendant guards and honor guards. These people were all selected from the Chu army, and the commander of the army was also Liu Jun's henchmen. Moreover, the commander of the Nine Gates guarding the inner and outer cities of the capital division is still Liu Yunsheng. He commanded a full 30,000 Praetorian Guards, and the entire inner and outer cities of the Beijing Division were under his control, and there were 8,000 soldiers and horses in the five cities of the Beijing Division, and the commander was Luo Ping'an, Liu Jun's protΓ©gΓ© subordinates, and the commander of the Jinyi Guard also had many captains, and the commander was Liu Qiao. That was Liu Jun's uncle. And Liu Jiye is now taking 50,000 horses in Tongzhou, not far from Beijing. ”

Of course Chen Xinjia knows this, Liu Jiye has already controlled the inside and outside of the Beijing Division now.

"My lord, only now can we have a chance if we let go of Yibo. If not. When the people in the palace went to Tongzhou to summon Liu Jiye back, it was too late. ”

Chen Xinjia took two steps closer, and they stood under the corridor outside the hall, and there was no one on either side. The pale palace lamps glowed dimly. You can still faintly hear the sound of weeping coming from the temple.

"My lord, I have a good relationship with the heart of the Admiral of Dongchang, and the family of the Jingshi Zhuxun also often moves. As long as the adults are willing to support. I can contact them right away, and disarm the guards tonight. ”

"Ben Bing, I have to remind you that there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the guards, and Dongchang may not have the ability to disarm them. And even if the guards are lifted, there are still the Praetorian Guards, as well as the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Jinyi Guard, and even Liu Jiye of Tongzhou, how do you plan to solve it? ”

"We can't sit still, we have to strike first. Although there are many guards and soldiers, there may not be no way to solve them. Using the men and horses of Dongchang, he summoned the officers of the guards to focus on the discussion, and then took them down in one fell swoop, so that the guards and the pro-army were leaderless. Then we united with the honorable relatives in Beijing to take Liu Qiao, Liu Yunsheng and his son, and after controlling the Praetorian Guard, the soldiers and horses of the five cities were just some government patrol police, and there was nothing to fear. ”

Wu Fu's face was calm, and he looked at Chen Xinjia coldly, "Don't say how much chance this plan has, just ask, what about Liu Jiye in Tongzhou?" ”

Chen Xinjia took another step forward, leaned into Wu Fu's ear and said in a low voice, "Then I still have a plan, summon Liu Ye into Beijing, and when he enters the palace as soon as he enters Beijing, arrange for Dongchang killers to hunt him down." Even if necessary, we can depose the king and make a new one. ”

"Are you crazy?" A look of annoyance flashed in Wu Fu's eyes, "Your Majesty's bones are not cold, we are all courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, but now we are discussing this, this is disloyalty and injustice." ”

Chen Xinjia took a step back and said coldly, "At this time, what are you going to do about this." This is only one chance, and if we miss it, there will be no chance. Or, let's all go back to writing speeches, abandon the official and return to our hometown, and don't care about how the world will change. ”

"Liu Jun may not be a rebel and a thief."

"After Liu Jiye comes back to take charge of the government alone, it is just a gesture for him to usurp the world, just ask, who is faced with such an opportunity and such a temptation, who will not be tempted? He Liu Jiye is not a saint, he is just a young man in his twenties. ”

"There is always loyalty, filial piety, courtesy, and righteousness in the world."

"Compared to the world, those are nothing." After speaking, Chen Xinjia had no intention of persuading and turned to leave.

Wu Fu returned to the hall and looked at the palace people who began to sort out the emperor's remains, and his heart was in a trance.

He was thinking that what Chen Xinjia said was indeed reasonable, in front of the throne of Jiangshan, no benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, loyalty and filial piety were worth mentioning. Tang Taizong had the change of Xuanwu Gate, Song Taizong also had candlelight axe shadow, and even the ancestor of this dynasty was not Jing Nan to raise troops and take the country from his nephew.

The most ruthless imperial family.

Liu Jiye is barely half a royal man, and he is also a powerful minister who holds half of the military power in the world, Gao Huan, Yuwentai, Liu Yu, Chen Baxian, Yang Jian, which one is not a powerful minister usurping the throne.

But the plans mentioned by Chen Xinjia are not very feasible. Although Liu Jiye is not in Beijing, Beijing is full of his henchmen and soldiers.

Later, Wu Jun returned to the Yamen of the Prime Minister's Office, although the emperor's edict ordered Liu Jun to be the new emperor's minister, but now Liu Jun is still in Tongzhou, and Wu Fu must preside over the situation in Beijing first.

In less than a year, the two emperors died one after another, and they all died unexpectedly, which made the court unprepared at all. Chongzhen has just been buried, and Long Wu has died here again, and there is no mountain tomb, but fortunately, there is still silver in the inner treasury and the national treasury now, so he is not so panicked.

"Bring the King's Heart." Wu Fu called his subordinates, "No matter what he is busy with, he must be invited immediately." ”

In the living room of the cabinet chief, Wang Zhixin froze, looking down at the teacup on the table. At this time, he regretted coming over, he could never have imagined that this Shousuke would make such a terrifying proposal.

This is really a fateful proposal, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty and the secretary of the military department actually want to kill the future regent, and they even want to abolish the Son of Heaven and set up a new monarch.

Wang Zhixin really wanted to say to Wu Fu, am I so familiar with you, you dare to ask me for such a big thing. He is not even familiar with Wu Fu at all, at most he is a little closer to Chen Xinjia, but this is just that Chen Xinjia has sent him some silver in the past, and he, the commander of Dongchang, just wants to get a personal relationship in the court.

Compared with it, he felt that he was closer to the newly sealed Han King. After all, even if the silver is compared, the silver given by King Han is not comparable to Chen Xinjia.

Wang Zhixin had already fully understood Wu Fu and Chen Xinjia's plan.

Emperor Longwu died suddenly, and left his last words to let King Ding succeed to the throne, but only designated Liu Jun as the minister who took care of his life. Wu Fu was unwilling to accept such a result, he and Chen Xinjia were ready to kill Liu Jun, and even wanted to depose the new emperor and set up Yongwang as the emperor.

It's just that whether it is Wu Fu or Chen Xinjia, they are just Wenchen, they have no generals and no soldiers in their hands. If you want to complete the plan, you can only rely on those who have soldiers. And inside and outside the Beijing Division, the current soldiers, and the generals who lead the troops are all Liu Jun's people.

Except for him, the admiral of Dongchang, he is directly under the command of the emperor. Although today's authority in Dongchang is not as good as in the past, and it is limited to the area of detective surveillance, there are still a lot of secret agents.

Wu Fu frowned and looked at Wang Zhixin, "The Ming Dynasty is in danger, only our loyalty can save the situation, no matter what, we can't let Liu Jiye monopolize the government and steal the Ming Dynasty." Admiral Wang, we need you, and the Ming Dynasty needs you. ”

"I understand." Wang Zhixin said, "But Your Majesty and the Queen Mother don't think that Liu Jiye is a traitor and a thief." ”

Wu Fu and Wang Zhixin looked at each other, "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother have been deceived by Liu Jiye. ”

"We're alone."

"The wind knows the strength of the grass, and the board sees the loyal ministers, this is the time to test our loyalty."

"It would be nice if I could assassinate Liu Jiye, but there is no need to abolish King Ding."

Wu Fu said, "Are you sure that you can assassinate Liu Jiye, it's best to be secretive and not leave the tail of your hand." ”

"Liu Jun is now in the Tongzhou camp, among the tens of thousands of troops, it is difficult to kill him in the barracks."

"What about sending someone to intercept and assassinate halfway?"

Wang Zhixin still shook his head, "It's as difficult to stab halfway through. Actually, maybe Lord Yuanfu is too worried, maybe Liu Jun will faithfully assist His Majesty and protect the Ming Room. ”

Wu Fu glared at him, "Do you think it's possible?" ”

"In fact, there is another choice, there is a sentence to know the current affairs for Junjie"

"This is not what a Ming courtier should say."

"Then there is only one way left, I suggest that the troops stay for the time being, and we will immediately send someone to Tongzhou to announce the edict to summon Liu Jun into Beijing. Then secretly set up a warrior in the palace, and when Liu Jun entered the palace to meet him, he was suddenly hunted and killed, Liu Jun was removed, and then the king succeeded to the throne, and Yuan Fu would still be the first assistant, and he would also be the minister of Gu Ming. ”

"Are you sure about doing it in the palace?"

"Don't worry, Dongchang guarantees that this matter can be done. After the matter is completed, after the adult becomes the new monarch and auxiliary minister, he hopes to promote our family. Wang Zhixin said with a smile.

"After the matter is completed, the old man will ensure that you will be the eunuch of the master of ceremonies and the commander of the seal!"

"It's a deal!" (To be continued.) )
