Chapter 187: Sharpen the knife

It is another year and the end of the year is approaching, and the people in and out of the palace are also frequent, the eunuchs who buy New Year's goods, the craftsmen who set up the color sheds, and the teachers who rehearse the large-scale palace music and dance and various celebrations are ......, so the palace ban is much more relaxed than usual.

But on the first day of the new year, a not very pleasant thing happened in the palace. A little eunuch suddenly ran to report to Shangguan Wan'er, and found that someone was carrying out the palace items to sell, and Shangguan Wan'er immediately transferred a team of people from the internal guard after hearing the news, led by her cronies and eunuchs, to the palace gates to strictly investigate.

As a result, they found some silk silks, incense burners, heads, books and other utensils from some palace ladies and eunuchs who had no time to escape. In fact, these things are not too valuable things, and they don't dare to steal and sell really valuable things, but stealing some things from the palace and taking advantage of the opportunity to sell them out of the palace is always a violation of the rules.

Shangguan Wan'er was furious, but she didn't report this matter to the Son of Heaven, there is no need to report this kind of thing to the Son of Heaven, and the second is that the Son of Heaven has been lingering on the sickbed in recent months, not only has she not been able to go to court for many days, but she can't even attend several major celebrations of the New Year, so this kind of trivial matter is naturally impossible to disturb her.

So, Shangguan Wan'er reported this matter to Wu Youyi, the general of Yulinwei, and urged him to strengthen management. Because it is Yulinwei who is responsible for guarding the palace, the Xuanwu Gate is guarded by a thousand horsemen who are nominally subordinate to Yulinwei, but in fact directly under the Son of Heaven, and all other palace gates are under the direct control of Yulinwei.

Normally, when the eunuch Gong E enters and leaves the palace, Yu Linwei has to search his body, but after so many years, this aspect has not been too strict, maybe some Yu Linwei soldiers have also accepted their benefits and deliberately indulged. Therefore, the eunuchs and palace ladies can be taken out of the palace, and they are to blame.

Wu Youyi was very annoyed, so he had to order his subordinates to strengthen the investigation, and he didn't pay too much attention to some trivial things.

Immediately afterwards, the next day, when Cheng Ji Ji inspected various palace rooms in the palace, he accidentally found that several Yulin guards had secretly drunk wine, and went to work after drinking to guard them. Ji Ji was very dissatisfied, although these people repeatedly begged for mercy, Ji Ji still told Wu Youyi about it with an iron face and rudeness.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Taichang Temple rehearsed the opera in the palace and selected 120 Xiaohuangmen to play the nephews. and selected hundreds of soldiers with big shoulders and round waists from Jin Wuwei to play various gods and monsters, after rehearsing and driving away the big dip. There was another fire in the rehearsal area.

The fire was not big. It was quickly extinguished, but after the fact, it was revealed that the fire was caused by the fact that the fire of the exorcism was not completely extinguished when they dispersed. Xiao Huangmen and Jinwu Weilushi, who participated in the performance, were punished, but the fire only rekindled nearly an hour after they left, and Yu Linwei, who was in charge of patrolling, was naturally even more responsible.

As a result, Zhou Yong, Zhang Tingqi and other imperial historians who heard about this matter put on a sternly worded note. After several misdeeds of Yu Linwei's mismanagement, the imperial court was required to investigate and rectify them.

Now that Wu Zetian has not been in court for a long time due to illness, he no longer deals with very important matters in person, and this piece of music has fallen into the hands of Zhang Khan, who has just paid homage to the prime minister.

Actually, on qualifications. Zhang Cambodia, who had just paid homage to the prime minister, was not qualified to deal with things in the heads of old prime ministers such as Yang Zaisi and Su Wei, but those prime ministers were all people who were afraid of taking responsibility, and this recital involved King Jian'an and General Wu Youyi of Yulinwei, they didn't want to offend people, and under the prevarication of each other, this recital naturally fell into the hands of Zhang Cambodia.

Zhang Cambodia is really a new official to take office three fires, he attaches great importance to this movement, immediately summoned Wu Youyi, reprimanded it with a loud voice, the next day dismissed several Yulin Wei generals who directly or indirectly need to take responsibility, and transferred several young and promising officials to Yulin Wei.

Zhang Cambodia's arrangement of these people includes Zhongtai Right Cheng Jinghui, Criminal Shaoqing Huan Yanfan, Right Scattered Cavalry Attendant Li Zhan, Scattered Dynasty Doctor Wang Tongjiao, Secretary Cheng Xue Sixing, and Counselor Yang Yuanyan, these people are all civil officials, fortunately, the role of civil and military officials in the Tang Dynasty is extremely normal, Yang Fan is the first martial artist and then the Wen and then the army, Zhang Cambodia has this arrangement is not unusual.

These people were arranged by Zhang Cambodia to Yu Linwei to serve as generals respectively, and the removal and appointment of so many middle-level generals of Yu Linwei at once will definitely arouse the vigilance of the military power of the Wu family, as long as Wu Sansi intervenes, Zhang Cambodia's large-scale personnel transfer will definitely be difficult to succeed, but Wu Sansi actually remained silent about this.

Wu Youyi was a little weak because his subordinates were not strict, so that his subordinates made repeated mistakes, and he could not get the support of many relatives in the family who held military power, so he resigned himself to Zhang Cambodia's adjustment.

The military advice planned by the Wu and Li families successfully started the first step.

After these people served as Yulin generals, they immediately introduced some cronies into the army, and they could not do a large-scale exchange of blood for Yulinwei, but it was normal to introduce a few guards as pro-soldiers.

When these middle-level generals were intensively preparing for the military advice, changes were also quietly taking place in the palace under Wan'er's arrangement, and these changes were under Erzhang's nose, but the two of them were completely unaware, speaking of the background in the palace, how could they compare to Shangguan Wan'er, who had been in business for 20 years.

Yang Fan is also quietly preparing here, Yang Fan found Ma Qiao and discussed with him secretly, and Ma Qiao was "sick" the next day, and he took leave at home for many days. Originally, the Xuanwu Gate was guarded by five generals in turn, but Ma Qiao was sick, and someone had to replace him on the day of his shift.

Ma Qiao found Lu Maofeng for this, Lu Maofeng readily agreed, in these days when Ma Qiao was sick at home, he was guarded by him instead of Ma Qiao, of course, these holidays need to be returned, so when necessary, as long as Ma Qiao is "healed", he can turn around for Lu Maofeng, which will prevent Lu Maofeng from appearing in Xuanwu Gate for a long time.

Yang Fan's preparation was fully considered, there were five generals under him, among which Huang Xuchang, Chu Yange, Ma Qiao and Dugu Zhi were sure that he could control them, only Lu Maofeng was introduced to Qianqi by two Zhang, Yang Fan couldn't help but be a little careful about him.

In fact, Lu Maofeng has been in Qianqi for a few years, and he has been very good with Qianqi and his brothers, and he is also loyal to Yang Fan, but this matter is too important, it is to tie his head to the belt of his pants to make a desperate fight, once he fails, the most haode result is the end of the world, Yang Fan does not dare to take risks.

If Lu Maofeng is still loyal to Erzhang, even if it is just to repay Erzhang's kindness and follow Guan Yunchang to "interpret Huarong Dao", it will be an unbearable burden for Yang Fan, he will not dare to take this risk, and use some means to let Lu Maofeng avoid it, so as not to make it difficult for Lu Lang.

Of course, if Lu Maofeng happened to be on duty on the day of the military admonition, Yang Fan could also arrange a few cronies to control him first when launching the military admonition, but in that case, the friendship between the two for several years would be gone, and it would be difficult to make up for the rift afterwards, so it was better to use some euphemistic means to make him avoid.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Erzhang has been guarding Wu Zetian's side these days, after asking the imperial doctor and learning that Wu Zetian's situation is not good, they even moved Wu Zetian to Yingxian Palace overnight, transferred their henchmen, and controlled the entire Yingxian Palace, the prime ministers must get their consent to see the Son of Heaven, and even the prime minister Shangguan Wan'er has no chance to see Wu Zetian without their permission.

The prince pretended to be a filial son every day these days, ran to wait outside the north gate, waiting for his seriously ill mother to summon him, and enter the palace to serve, but unfortunately he could only stay outside the north gate, and he couldn't even see the corner of the cornices of his mother's bedroom.

Erzhang's behavior is just an instinctive reaction to feeling confused about the future and the future, and they have no clue what to do next. These days, Erzhang has gathered a group of cronies, and they are also discussing their way out after Wu Zetian's death.

There is only a curtain, behind the curtain is the seriously ill and unconscious Wu Zetian, and outside the curtain, are the two lovers who she leaned on as the emotional pillar in her later years, and these two lovers are calmly discussing how to preserve her wealth and glory after her death.

The real friends of Erzhang's subordinates are a group of high-handed, low-eyed gentlemen, how can there be any way in the face of this kind of militaristic affairs, even Zhang Yizhi is only calmer than Zhang Changzong, in the face of this kind of national affairs, he also has a feeling that a dog bites a hedgehog and has no way to start, so that after discussing for many days, they discussed some whimsical ideas.

At this time, the news of Zhang Cambodia's adjustment to the intermediate generals of Yulinwei reached their ears, although they felt a little dark about the changes that happened under their noses, but Zhang Cambodia's actions aroused their vigilance, and Er Zhang became even more uneasy, and immediately convened a group of beautiful young "think tanks" in Fengchen Prison to discuss countermeasures.

As the chief thinker of Erzhang's subordinates, Fan Leyuan, who is tall and handsome, said menacingly: "Zhang Cambodia's move must be aimed at us, according to Chen's order, the butcher's knife has been raised, and we must respond immediately." ”

Zhang Changzong said blankly: "These days, we have been discussing how to respond, but we have never figured out a clue, you say, how should we respond?" ”

Fan Leyuan said: "Feng Chencheng, you are General Yunlu, General Zuo Niu Qianwei Zhonglang, you have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under Qianniu Wei, and Feng Chenling is Si Wei Shaoqing, the prime minister's arsenal, weapons, and palace guards." Didn't the saint give you these two positions just in case?

Let's just don't do it, you will order Qianniuwei to enter the palace, open the arsenal by Fengchen's order, send out sharp weapons such as armor, bows and crossbows, clean up the original guards in the palace, and enter the palace by Qianniuwei, firmly control the entire palace, there are many palace walls as barriers, and no one wants to fight in. ”

Zhang Yizhi changed color and said: "What are you doing, if you want to rebel, can't you rebel?" ”

P: It's the end of the month, and I'm looking for monthly passes and recommended tickets!. (To be continued......)
