Chapter 261
There are strict guards in the palace, although it is a bit exaggerated that birds can't fly in, but it would be incredible if such a big living person was missing.
Gao Rongrong and Xu Shiming thought at the same time, and they should be inside.
Xu Shiming suggested that the city gate should be blocked immediately, searching for Meng Yanyi's whereabouts, and he would be missing for a day.
But Feng Dao rejected Xu Shiming's suggestion, Feng Dao said: "Xu Xiang's proposal has three inappropriate, blocking the city gate at this time will definitely cause panic to the people of Jinling Mansion and even the people of Mingguo, this is one; Song Qiqiu's rebellion is implicit, once the city gate is blocked, it will make him mistakenly think that the east window incident has occurred, and start it early, we are still unprepared, this is two; Whether Song Qiqiu's conspiracy was linked, who else was involved, and whether the disappearance of the Empress of the East Palace was involved in the rebellion, I don't know if there is any conspiracy, these are the three. ”
Seeing that what Feng Dao said was reasonable, Gao Rongrong hurriedly asked, "What is Feng Xiang's strategy?" ”
Feng Daoshi Shiran said: "The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, there is nothing to do, just watch when the wind blows, you can." ”
It's very subtle, but it's actually just four words, sit and watch it change.
Xu Shiming nodded and said, "Feng Xiang's words are reasonable, but the disappearance of the Empress of the East Palace is not a trivial matter, and Meng Chang should be taken care of immediately in case of accidents." ”
Sun Guangxian interjected: "Empress Gao should take the tiger talisman and secretly assemble the Imperial Forest Army to prevent the likes of Song Qiqiu in Jinling Mansion from jumping off the wall in a hurry." ”
Sun Guangxian's words were unanimously agreed by Xu Shiming and Feng Dao.
So, Gao Rongrong sent a decree and summoned Liu Yan and Liu Qing to the palace for an audience.
can only mobilize the two wings of the Royal Forest Army, Liu Yan and Liu Qing for the sake of a battle. It was planned to suppress the rebels after they had risen and when they had gathered.
The plan was approved by Gao Rongrong and Ming Guo.
Thereupon. Liu Yan led a group of Imperial Forest Army to quietly infiltrate the palace and ambush it.
Liu Qing led a group of Imperial Forest troops to guard the four city gates to prevent the rebels from escaping through the city gates after defeat.
Unable to grasp the timing of the rebels' uprising, Feng Dao came up with an idea.
Eight words, knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, hitting the grass and scaring the snake.
……。
Meeting with Zhou Xian, Song Qiqiu was under pressure from the original Shuchen faction of Wuzhao descendants.
Although it is impossible for Zhou Xian to be with him.
But Song Qiqiu had also achieved his goal, and his meeting with Zhou Xian caused pressure on the Wuzhao descendants.
And more mainly. Let the courtiers of the Ming Kingdom know that he Song Qiqiu was instructed by the palace, which will have twice the effect of Song Qiqiu in winning over the courtiers in the future.
In fact. After the news of Baili Wuji's trapping in the enemy country reached Jinling Mansion, Song Qiqiu, the governor of the political council, together with his attendant Zhang Juyong and Jinling Mansion Shaoyin He Jingzhu, made some changes.
They secretly colluded with some old generals of the former Southern Tang Dynasty, such as Jianzhou Liuhou, Zhaowu Army Jiedu envoy Diao Yanneng, Runzhou Jiedu envoy Ma Renyu and others planned to start an incident in Jinling if Baili Wuji could not return. Li Jing was elected to succeed him as Emperor of the Ming Kingdom.
Because the Ming Kingdom does not set up a festival envoy. Adopting the system of separating the military, government and financial powers, Diao Yanneng, Ma Renyu and others were all sent to the school after the destruction of the Southern Tang Dynasty by Baili Wuji and served as Mr. Bingke.
For a festival envoy who once held the lives and deaths of countless people in his hands, this gentleman's position is indeed boring.
The eldest husband can't be without power for a day, he is melancholy in his heart, and Song Qiqiu and others are in contact at this time, which is just agreeable.
This usurpation of the throne once failed. But it is necessary to connect the nine tribes.
For the sake of insurance, Song Qiqiu and the other former ministers of Shu are now the same as the Ming State Governor of the Ming State.
And the descendants of Wu Zhao have long had this intention. The two sides naturally hit it off.
However, there was considerable disagreement between the two sides on who to recommend to succeed to the throne, with the Song Qiqiu faction wanting to elect Li Jing and the Wuzhao faction wanting to elect Meng Chang.
It's funny to say, but these two parties don't have the slightest thought.
But the world is always like this, what you want, no matter how hard you try, you can't get it; If you don't want it, people want to give it, and you have to take it.
With the meeting between Song Qiqiu and Zhou Xian, it created the illusion that Song Qiqiu and his faction had a backer in the palace.
The most important thing is that Zhou Xian is the biological mother of the crown prince.
Although Prince Yilu wants to recognize the queen as his mother, when he is in power in the future, which emperor does not canonize his biological mother as the queen mother?
In view of this, the Wuzhao faction compromised, and the two sides agreed that after the matter was completed, they would still support the crown prince, that is, the puppet, and depreciate the three prime ministers of the Ming Kingdom, with Song Qiqiu and Wuzhao as the prime ministers, and jointly take charge of the government.
The division of basic interests was negotiated, and the two sides began to plan specific matters.
It was decided that the 3,000 people under the command of He Jingzhu, the young Yin of Jinling Mansion, the Dianjun of Jinling Mansion, and the guerrilla general Wang Jianfeng would be the backbone of the uprising, which was actually the troops in charge of public security in Jinling Mansion.
Because Baili Wuji has set a dead rule for the Royal Forest Army, the Royal Forest Army without a command cannot be transferred out of the barracks, and those who violate it will be beheaded.
The transfer of the Imperial Forest Army with a commander requires two tiger talismans, one for the commander and one for the emperor, and the two can be mobilized in one.
In the Ming Kingdom's four-compartment imperial forest army, one compartment has not been commanded because of Wang Kui's transfer, Zhou Xingfeng is now also transferred to Gyeongju, leaving only Liu Yan and Liu Qing in both compartments, for them, Song Qiqiu and Wu Zhao have no hope, these two people were born in the original Southern Chu, and they have been unscrupulous for many years, and they are by no means Song Qiqiu and Wu Zhao can say that they can move.
Fortunately, except for the routine patrol and the 450 battalions stationed in the palace, the rest of the four compartments were stationed outside Jinling City.
This gave Song Qiqiu and Wu Zhao a time to start an incident.
So, everything is quietly brewing.
A day later, Meng Chang's Beigang palace was surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army for no reason and was strictly guarded.
The next day, Li Jing's Jinghai Houfu was surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army for no reason and strictly guarded.
Song Qiqiu and Wu Zhaoyi had a premonition that things were not good, and in a hurry, they decided to launch a rebellion early.
……。
At one o'clock in the early morning of the fourth day, the sky was still dark, Song Qiqiu and Wu Zhaoyi sat in the Jinling Mansion, and the Jinling Mansion Shaoyin He Jingzhu, the Jinling Mansion Dianjun, and the guerrilla general Wang Jianfeng each led 2,500 people to attack the palace.
In the era of the world, if you attack the palace and capture the emperor, you will be invincible.
Although the emperor of the Ming Kingdom is not here now, the emperor has been trapped in an enemy country, and it is still unknown whether he can come back.
can occupy the palace, capture the crown prince, the queen and others, and still be invincible.
The chaotic army was like a bamboo, and there were not even pedestrians along the way, let alone soldiers.
In just a quarter of an hour, the two rebels met outside the Imperial City Gate and killed a group of Imperial Guards guarding the gate, and the rebels began to lay gunpowder to prepare for the breach.
It is also said that this forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and the gunpowder, which is listed as a forbidden thing by Baili Wuji, actually appeared outside the imperial city, and was also used to blow up the gates of the imperial city. (To be continued......)
