Chapter 488: Regent of the Prison State
The gate of Taiyuan City slowly opened, and under the moonlight, the drawbridge fell little by little, and the city gate also slowly opened.
A small group of men chased them out of the city gates, crossed the drawbridge, and walked out of the city to look around. Li Jingce immediately stepped forward and saw that the person who came was indeed his cousin Han Xiaoji.
"There is still an hour before the shift changes, and this gate is all mine." Han Xiaoji's son of the general, the Taiyuan court was established, with his father's prestige position in the army, he also got the position of a Mingwei general, commanding a battalion of men and horses, tonight he led the battalion soldiers and horses to guard the city gate, and he was very surprised when he saw his father's family general offering a secret message yesterday. But tonight, he did not hesitate to open the gates.
Li Jing turned his head to the herald beside him and said, "Go and report to Your Highness, the city gate has been taken, let Your Highness march quickly." ”
After speaking, Li Jing waved his hand and led the army to enter the customs first and control the city.
When Yi Feng led the army to arrive, Li Jing had already completely controlled the city gate.
"Well done, now, surround Jinyang Palace."
Gao Gong took two followers and entered the camp of He Ruobi in the southern suburbs of Taiyuan at night. He Ruobi was very surprised when he heard that Gao Gong was visiting late at night, and hurriedly got up and put on his clothes to meet, "When did Gao Xiangguo come back from Mayi, why did he come late at night, what emergency happened?" ”
Gao Gong held a jar of wine in his hand.
"This is a jar of good wine, three whips of deer blood to burn spring, as long as a small cup, you can read novels on your mobile phone, which one is stronger? Mobile phone reading network, the three girls of the night and the golden gun does not fall, I know that Marshal He Ruo is a good beauty, and the sword is given to the hero, and it is given to you. ”
He Ruobi heard Gao Gong say that this wine was so powerful, and immediately smiled, "Such a precious gift." Thank you for the gift. ”
"No need to thank you, this wine is actually not mine." Gao Gong looked at He Ruobi. Said slowly, "This is a small gift that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dragged me to Marshal He Ruo. ”
"A gift from the Prince?" He Ruobi's smile froze on his face.
"Xiangguo is joking with the old man." He Ruo sneered.
"The old man is not interested in coming over late at night to joke with Marshal He Ruo. I'm telling the truth, this wine was dragged by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give me. ”
He Ruobi felt that the wine in his hand was very hot, put down the wine, he frowned and asked, "Who else did the prince give this wine?" ”
"The old man also received an altar, and in addition, Han Shuai also received an altar!"
"You've all taken it?"
"Of course, shouldn't you take it?"
"But."
"It's nothing, this time His Majesty asked the old man to go to Mayi. Obviously to treat the army, he actually persuaded the prince to enter the court to see the driver, and left the soldiers and horses outside the Yanmen Pass. The old man knew His Majesty's plan, and the old man also knew that the prince was actually the son of the concubine and the king of Jin, and I am afraid that this matter will not be hidden from you. Between the emperor and the crown prince, who would have thought that there would be such a relationship? ”
"But even so, Xiangguo is going to betray the emperor?"
"Marshal He Ruo, why did Marshal He say this, if the emperor did not have the support of the crown prince, how long do you think he could be the emperor? If the crown prince finally cooperates with his biological father, King Jin. What do you think we'll do? No, we can't let that happen. The Taiyuan Imperial Court, in the end, must be the orthodoxy of the imperial court. But Yang Yong can't be the emperor, but the prince can. As long as we can make the Taiyuan court orthodox. Then our one qiē today will naturally be saved. Even, when the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, we can still get a meritorious service. Add another glory and wealth to the family. ”
Gao Gong's words were very direct, in the case that the relationship between Yang Yong and the prince was bound to break down. It was impossible for Yang Yong to swallow the power of the prince, and the prince had their help. But if you can swallow Yang Yong's forces, this will be the best result. The Taiyuan court they supported did not fall, and finally became orthodox and ended the chaos, they are naturally the winners, as for Yang Yong, why bother.
He Ruobi was shocked, he didn't expect that Gao Gong, who had always been the most staunch supporter of Yang Yong, would end up being the one who gave Yang Yong the most fatal betrayal.
"Do you and Han Seng Shou think so, what about the soldiers of Yanmen Pass?"
"Do you have anything to hesitate about?"
"Xiang Guo is so sure that Yang Lin can become the final winner?"
"Not necessarily without us. But with our support for him, after getting the support of the soldiers and officials of the Taiyuan Imperial Court, and then having the banner of royal orthodoxy, then he will definitely win the world in the end. ”
He Ruobi smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect this to be the result in the end, since Xiangguo came here late at night, presumably the prince has already entered the Yanmen Pass, right?" ”
"Yes, and that's not all. Han Seng Shou and 100,000 soldiers of Yanmen have already attached themselves to the prince, and the prince has already entered Taiyuan City at this time, and it is estimated that he has almost entered Jinyang Palace. ”
"It's fast."
"The prince is decisive and good at controlling the situation. Marshal He Ruo must not be mistaken. ”
He Ruobi changed to laughing this time, "Why should I mistake myself? No, I won't. I just think that Sangkook should have discussed this matter with me earlier, and there is no need to wait until now. Xiangguo, please allow me to retire for the time being, and I will go and gather the soldiers. ”
"You're not going to do things that lose your mind, are you?" Gao Gong asked with a smile.
"I'm going to gather my subordinates and inform everyone that no matter what news they receive tonight, they will not leave the camp."
"Very well, I'll go with you." Gao Gong said with satisfaction. Although he already had a lot of confidence that he could explain He Ruobi before he came, he still felt relieved when the matter really came to pass.
Jinyang Palace.
Yi Feng led his troops into the city, and the soldiers and horses were fast, and soon surrounded the Jinyang Palace.
"Majesty, majesty, something is wrong."
A eunuch shouted outside the hall with a sharp voice, waking Yang Yong up.
"What's the matter?" Yang Yong shouted dissatisfiedly on the bed.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong, the palace is besieged."
"What is surrounded?"
"It's the prince, the prince led the troops into Taiyuan City, and the soldiers besieged Jinyang Palace." The eunuch reported in a panic.
"What?" Yang Yong's frightened shouts came from the hall, and then there was a sound of dressing, and suddenly, Yang Yong ran out without even wearing shoes.
As soon as he went out, Yang Yong didn't hear the hustle and bustle everywhere, and there was nothing unusual at night, it was very quiet.
"Where is Yang Lin?" Yang Yong shouted and asked.
"Here!" A voice answered in the distance.
Yang Yong looked up. Looking over there, I saw a torch burning. A team is slowly approaching. The person in charge is the crown prince Yang Lin.
The moment I saw Yi Feng. Yang Yong panicked. Didn't Gao Gong say that Yang Yong would not arrive until tomorrow, why did Yang Lin come today, and he entered the city in the middle of the night, and even broke into the palace directly.
"Where are the guards?" Yang Yong shouted.
Yi Feng approached slowly, dressed in ironclad uniform, holding his sword in his hand. He smiled and stood in front of Yang Yong, "Your Majesty doesn't need to shout, the guards are working hard, and I have already replaced them all." ”
"Changed?"
"Changed. Now the entire Jinyang Palace, inside and outside, has been replaced by Huaihuang soldiers. ”
Yang Yong was shocked, "All replaced by Huaihuang soldiers, how many people did you bring here?" ”
"It's not much, it's only 200,000, in addition, you don't have to bother to think about how I passed the Yanmen Pass and the Taiyuan Three Passes, Marshal Han Seng Shou, and the Yanmen Pass and the Taiyuan Three Passes. Even the soldiers of Taiyuan City, they did not stop me. ”
Yang Yong's face was as cold as ashes, and his heart was extremely cold, "You bought them." What did you promise them? ”
"No, I didn't buy them, and I didn't promise them anything. You are the emperor, and my promise may not be more than your majesty. It's just that. Everyone thinks that His Majesty does not seem to be able to lead everyone to calm the world, and everyone thinks that I can better deal with the current chaos. The soldiers of Taiyuan. They all want to go back to Guanzhong as soon as possible, everyone's family, everyone's family, everyone's property, everyone's ancestral grave are in Guanzhong, they think I can take them back, but Your Majesty can't. ”
"Nonsense, I can, I can."
"Oh, yes, it seems that everyone has misunderstood Your Majesty. But it doesn't matter, your majesty can do it, and I can do it too. Since this is the case, then it is better to leave these hard things to me, and your majesty can just enjoy yourself in the palace with peace of mind. Yi Feng was unceremonious, and he didn't have the slightest respect.
Yang Yong stared at Yi Feng deadly, listening to his rebellious words. "You, You"
"Your Majesty, let's make an agreement, in the future, all military and political affairs may as well be handed over to me to deal with, Your Majesty can just stay in the palace and enjoy yourself, your own wine and food are constant, and there is no shortage of beauties, wouldn't it be better?"
"You're holding hostage! It's a big rebellion! ”
Yi Feng sneered, "This kind of treatment is already very good, you don't have to inch in, if you fall into the hands of the King of Shu or the King of Jin, do you think they will treat you so favorably?" ”
"I will never agree, I am the Son of Heaven, no one can hold me hostage, this is my palace, come here, come here!"
Yi Feng shook his head, "Your Majesty, I really don't want to say this to you, but I have to tell you, you just cut your throat, and no one will come." ”
Wei Chigong, Cheng Yanjin, Cheng Mingzhen, Wu Shi Tong and other flag guards came out of the crowd, stepped forward together, stood around Yang Yong, and surrounded him in the middle.
"What are you going to do, you're the opposite!"
Yi Feng said to Yang Yong, "Your Majesty, don't call anymore, do you really think I don't know what you're doing?" Make me the crown prince? Hehe, I'm afraid it's just a stopgap measure for you. Well, didn't you just want to take me down and put me under house arrest this time? ”
"How do you know?" Yang Yong was shocked and lost his mind.
"I know a lot, Your Majesty, please issue an edict, from now on, I will supervise the military and state affairs, and command the soldiers and horses of the world."
Yang Yong gritted his teeth.
"Please give an edict to Your Majesty." Yu Chi Gongcheng bit the four young generals shouted in unison, but their hands had already pressed on the hilt of the sword.
Yang Yong's heart was beating violently, his face was purple and swollen, he measured it in his heart, but when he saw the four young generals pressing the hilt of their swords one by one, they looked like they were about to draw their swords and slash if they didn't agree with each other, and they were finally still afraid. However, he still refused to open his mouth to give an edict, he didn't believe in Yang Lin, he didn't believe that Gao Gong, He Ruobi, Han Sengshou, Cui Junxuan, Xiahou Fu and other henchmen would all switch to Yang Lin.
Not long after, Han Seng Shou and the generals of Yanmen Pass entered the palace, Yang Yong was happy for a moment, and then saw Han Seng Shou and others saluting Yang Lin, and ignored him at all.
After Han Sengshou, the generals in Taiyuan City also entered the palace one after another to meet Yang Lin, Cui Junxuan, Yu Wenbi, and even his confidant general Xiahou Fu in the East Palace also came to visit Yang Lin.
After dawn, Gao Gong and He Ruobi came together.
"Please issue an edict from your majesty, from now on, the crown prince will supervise the military and state affairs."
Yang Yong was like ashes, and Gao Gong and He Ruobi, the two ministers he had placed his last hopes on, also fell to Yang Lin.
He Ruobi said to Yang Yong, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been brave and resourceful, and this Northern Expedition only relied on the weak soldiers in the middle to defeat almost the entire army of 200,000 Turks, but the prince's department did not have many casualties. At present, Yang Xiu usurped the throne in the front, Yang Guang rebelled and stood on his own, and the world was in turmoil. Therefore, please also ask Your Majesty to issue an edict to order the prince to supervise the country, command the world's soldiers and horses, and be responsible for the rebellion. ”
"Please give an edict to Your Majesty."
A group of high-ranking officials and generals of the Taiyuan Imperial Court asked for orders together.
Yang Yong's heart was like ashes, and everyone abandoned him.
Faced with the scene of the rebellion and the separation of relatives, Yang Yong finally understood that the general trend had gone, so he had to sigh and said, "Okay, ask Gao Xiangguo to draft an edict, announcing that I have been unwell recently, and the edict will be the regent of the prince in charge of the country, acting as the agent of state affairs, and leading the soldiers and horses of the world, responsible for the crusade against the rebels and thieves." ”
The edict was written and presented to Yang Yong, who glanced at it and nodded heavily. Gao Gong asked Yang Yong to use the seal, the imperial court's jade seal is now in the hands of Yang Xiu, after Yang Yong Taiyuan succeeded to the throne, he has urgently carved three gold, three jade, six emperor jade seals, although there is no jade seal of the country at this time, but it can still be sealed. The official in charge of the seal came with the seal and handed it to Yang Yong.
"Send His Majesty back to the palace to rest, from today onwards, no one is allowed to enter the palace to fight and recuperate. Dou Jiande, Wang Bao, the two of you will guard the Jinyang Palace with the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to protect the emperor's safety, and there must be no mistakes. Yi Feng took the freshly baked edict and smiled happily.
"I understand." Dou Jiande and Wang Bao, two generals, took over the order.
Yi Feng said, "From today onwards, the regent director of the Daming Palace, who is alone in the north of the imperial city, will submit all military and political affairs to the Daming Palace for handling. ”
The sky finally brightened, and overnight, Taiyuan changed color.
Dou Jiande and Wang Bao each led a military horse to 'guard' Jinyang Palace, all the guards in Jinyang Palace were replaced, and even the palace attendants were all replaced, without Yi Feng's handwriting, no one was allowed to enter and leave Jinyang Palace without permission, Yang Yong completely became a prisoner, leaving an emperor's name empty. Yi Feng received an official edict from Yang Yong on the grounds that the emperor was unwell, and handled the government on behalf of the emperor as the crown prince of the state, and commanded the soldiers and horses of the world. Yi Feng also replaced the guards of Taiyuan City and the surrounding passes with the Huaihuang Army, and for the original soldiers of the Middle Route Army, they also issued rewards first, and then ordered to be reorganized, all of which were scattered and reorganized according to the current establishment of the Huaihuang Army, a group of ten people, a team of fifty-one people, a capital of one hundred people, a regiment of five hundred people, a battalion of three thousand people, and an army of about 20,000. The 250,000 soldiers and horses of the Taiyuan court eventually divided into 12 armies.
In the Daming Palace.
The generals of Youzhou Mansion and Huaihuang Army gathered together, and everyone was smiling and happy.
"Your Highness, is this how Jinyang Palace is handled?"
"If you don't cut the grass and don't remove the roots, there will be endless troubles!"
Yi Feng groaned, "It's really good to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but now is not the time, although I don't like him either, but it's still useful to keep him now." Anyway, we still need him as a banner, he was originally the crown prince, and he inherited the emperor's name, with him, we are orthodox, and the king of Shu and Jin are all rebellious! ”
(At the end of the month, is there still a monthly pass?) (To be continued......) R1292
