Chapter 113 [Yanjing's Rebellion]
The Great Sect Master was in his study at this time, holding an urgent letter from someone who had just come from Yanjing, although it was not written in great detail, but it was enough to let people know that His Majesty Pingguang, the emperor of Yanguo, had just undergone a terrifying assassination.
After burning the letter to ashes on the lamp, the Great Sect Master leaned back on the Taishi's chair, his eyes closed, as if thinking about something.
This assassination obviously shook the Yanjing side.
His face was gloomy, and after a while, a grim smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Great Sect Master, Lord Yang and the Third Master ask to meet!" The voice of a servant came from outside the door.
The Great Sect Master immediately got up, although his strength and influence in the East China Sea were beyond Yang Qing's reach, but on the bright side, Yang Qing was still the supreme governor of the East China Sea County.
When he went out to greet him, he saw Han Xuanchang and Yang Qing waiting in the academy.
"Lord Yang!" The Great Sect Master arched his hand and showed a smile: "The county guard is here, and the old man can't welcome him from afar, don't blame it." ”
Yang Qing smiled reluctantly, and returned the salute before saying: "Yang took the liberty of disturbing the peace of the great sect master, he is guilty and guilty, and he should beg the great sect master not to blame." ”
The Great Sect Master knew the purpose of Yang Qing's visit, and Yang Qing naturally understood the news from Yanjing's side, and the Great Sect Master already knew it, and the two sides were no longer polite.
The Great Sect Master raised his hand and said, "Lord Yang, although the study is not big, it is quiet, just to discuss matters, and the adults should not dislike it." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare." Yang Qing hurriedly said: "This is just the right place to discuss important matters. ”
The Great Sect Master invited Yang Qing in, glanced at Han Xuanchang, and then followed Yang Qing into the area.
Han Xuanchang immediately instructed the subordinate next to him: "Go to the military camp and ask the governor to return to his house, the great sect master has something important to look for him." The servant said yes and went at once.
Han Xuanchang entered the study and closed the door tightly.
Inside the house, the Great Sect Master and Yang Qing had already sat down, and they didn't care about serving tea or anything, Yang Qing immediately said: "Great Sect Master, the Holy Lord has been assassinated." ”
The Great Sect Master and Han Xuanchang glanced at each other, both frowned, and immediately asked, "Lord Yang, how is the Saint's dragon body now?" ”
"The Holy One is fine, but he is frightened." Yang Qingdao: "Great Sect Master, Lord Han, this time the conspiracy to assassinate the Holy Lord, do you know who planned it?" ”
"Just about to ask for advice." The Great Sect Master said in a deep voice: "Who is so bold and reckless to commit rebellion? ”
Yang Qing clenched his fists and said hatefully: "Today's Yan Kingdom, who can be the biggest thief?" It was the Ye family and the Wu family who joined forces to make trouble. ”
The Great Sect Master sneered: "Sure enough, it's these rebellions without a king and a father. He also clenched his fists, looking indignant.
Han Xuanchang asked on the side, "Lord County Shou, what is going on?" How did the Ye and Wu families assassinate the Holy Lord? What is the power of the Ye and Wu families in Yanjing now? ”
Yang Qing sighed and arched his hand upward, looking sad: "Saint, Weichen is far away in the East China Sea, and he can't protect the saint, causing the saint to be frightened by the traitor, it's really a sin that deserves death!" ”
The Great Sect Master and Han Xuanchang also hurriedly got up, saluted respectfully in the northwest direction where Yanjing was located, and said in unison: "You can't protect the Holy Lord, you can do your duty as a human minister, and the ministers are guilty!" ”
After the Great Sect Master and Han Xuanchang sat down again, Yang Qingcai said, "A few days ago, it was the time of the Holy Winter Hunt. At this time of year, the Holy Lord has to take a cadre of ministers to the Imperial Forest Garden to go for winter hunting, and this year is no exception. At the other end of the Imperial Forest Garden, the Long Xiang Battalion of the Royal Forest Army has always been responsible for guarding, and everything was originally peaceful, but no one could have imagined that the Ye family would buy off a guard of the Long Xiang Camp at some point, and this time it was the people and horses led by this guard who was responsible for the safety of the saint. ”
The Yanjing Imperial Forest Army has five battalions, each battalion has a commander in charge of military affairs, and below the commander, there are four guards and commanders, all of whom are also powerful figures.
The royal family hunted in winter, which is also a major feature of the Yan Kingdom.
According to common sense, everything is quiet in winter, and even many animals inhabit it, but the royal family of Yanguo likes to hunt in the wild in the cold winter and heat since the founding emperor Yanwu Wang, which can be regarded as breathable and relieving boredom, and more importantly, showing the royal prestige.
Huanglin Garden is a royal hunting forest in Huiji County, and when the winter hunting season arrives, people will put a large number of animals into Huanglin Garden for hunting.
For a long time, the guards in charge of the winter hunt were transferred from the Longxiang battalion, and the Longxiang battalion had 5,000 armor soldiers, from which a thousand guards would be dispatched to protect the emperor, and the Longxiang battalion commanded the envoys to hunt with the emperor, so the person in charge of the escort organization would fall on the escort commander.
If this Protector has bad intentions, what will be the consequences?
The Great Sect Master and Han Xuanchang glanced at each other, both a little shocked.
The commander of the Longxiang battalion, Bai Yi, was the martial champion five years ago, but he was loyal to the emperor, and because of this, Emperor Pingguang withstood the pressure of the family cabinet and did his best to support him to ascend to the throne, which is also the lowest in the five major imperial forest armies.
Under Bai Yi's training, the Long Xiang Camp is loyal to Emperor Pingguang and is one of the trump cards in the hands of Emperor Pingguang.
Now that there is a protector who has been bribed by the Ye family, he has deceived the emperor and Bai Yi, and the Ye family's methods are also clever.
"The Guardian Commander was bribed, but the Long Xiang Battalion has always been loyal under the training of Lord Bai, so it shouldn't be a mess with him, right?" Han Xuanchang frowned and asked.
Yang Qing waved his hand and said: "The Longxiang Battalion is the most important guard of the Saint, and the soldiers of the Longxiang Battalion are also loyal to the Saint, so naturally they will not make trouble with the offense." However, if the Protector Commander used his power to install assassins in the Dragon Camp it would have been very easy to do. ”
"In other words, did the Ye and Wu families let that Guardian Commander install assassins in the guards?" The Grand Sect Master asked.
Yang Qing sighed: "That's right. It is said that among the guards, dozens of assassins carefully selected by the Ye and Wu families were mixed in, and they were all masters with strict training. At that time, the situation was extremely critical, but fortunately, Lord Bai Yibai was by the side of the saint, and the prince was also with him at that time, leading the crowd to resist to the death, and under the protection of the ministers, the saint escaped. At that time, several ministers were killed by the assassins, and if it weren't for the desperate fight of Lord Bai Yibai to fight out of the encirclement and transfer the guards of the Longxiang Battalion to guard the outside, the consequences would be really unimaginable. ”
"Were the assassins executed?" Han Xuanchang immediately asked.
"I wanted to catch them alive, but these assassins were all strictly trained, and as soon as the armor soldiers of the Longxiang Battalion arrived, the remaining assassins all killed themselves, leaving not a single one alive." Yang Qing shook his head and said.
The Great Sect Master groaned, and after a while, he slowly asked, "Then how did you learn that this monarchicide incident was committed by the Ye and Wu families?" ”
"The Emperor's Murder Incident in Huanglin Yuan is just the beginning." Yang Qingdao: "When the ministers escort the saint back to Yanjing City and go to the Dongzhi Gate of the outer city, the killing moves of the Ye and Wu families will really come." ”
Han Xuanchang exclaimed: "Could it be that the Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion has also installed people from the two families?" ”
"Exactly." Yang Qing smiled bitterly: "Dongzhi Gate is under the jurisdiction of the Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion, who would have expected that the captain of Dongzhi Gate's city gate turned out to be a member of the Ye family, blocking the Holy Luan in front of the Dongzhi Gate, wanting to kill the Holy Shang." The Dongzhi Gate was crowded, although there was a Longxiang camp, but there was no place to make room, I listened to the news from the capital, at that time in the Dongzhi Gate was full of blood, the sound of killing was a shout, and it was even more chaotic. The Ye and Wu families wanted to make the final blow in Dongzhimen, and they didn't hide, leading their subordinates to besiege and kill in Dongzhimen, if it weren't for the Donghua Hall to inform the wolf armor battalion and the volcano battalion, the two battalions of reinforcements arrived, and the saint was only afraid that they would really be murdered at the city gate. ”
"It is said that Donghua Hall has the ability to anticipate the enemy first, and it seems that this time it is a step slower." The Great Sect Master said lightly: "Otherwise, it won't frighten the saint." ”
Yang Qing hurriedly said: "The East Flower Hall has done its best, but this time the plan to rebel against the Ye and Wu families was too thorough and too hidden, so the East Flower Hall didn't know in advance. ”
The Great Sect Master thought for a moment before asking, "The Wolf Armor Camp and the Volcano Camp have arrived, presumably those rebels will not have a good end?" ”
Yang Qing nodded and said, "Yes, the Imperial Forest Army rescued the Holy Shang in Dongzhimen, surrounded and suppressed the rebels, and killed most of the rebels on the spot." The people of the Criminal Department even surrounded the Ye and Wu Mansions, and after entering, only some inconsequential subordinates remained, and the important people had disappeared. The saint immediately ordered the Donghua Hall to send people to chase after them, and chased them until they reached the border between Huiji County and Bozhou County, so that they could catch the rebels and almost let them return to Bozhou County. ”
"Can the master move?"
"Yes." Yang Qing immediately said: "Taishi immediately gathered the cabinet for a meeting, and in the next two days, all the big and small officials of the Ye and Wu families in Yanjing were detained and imprisoned, including the relevant people, a total of 473 people, all of whom were beheaded at the noon gate three days ago. ”
The Great Sect Master's expression suddenly became solemn, and he glanced at Han Xuanchang before slowly asking, "Kill!" ”
"The Ye and Wu families showed their tails this time, and they are really going to rebel." Yang Qing carefully took out a document from his sleeve, got up and respectfully presented it to the Great Sect Master, and said in an extremely respectful voice: "This is a document issued by the Ministry of War, Great Sect Master, please take a look!" ”
The great sect master also took it carefully, opened the military department document and looked at it carefully, and then handed it to Han Xuanchang.
"The Ministry of War issued a military order, ordering the major families to start the family army, and they must go to Liguchuan within half a month." Yang Qing said slowly: "On the side of the Great Sect Master, we will also raise 20,000 family troops and go to Liguchuan to assemble. ”
On the paperwork, it clearly stated the time and strength of the Han family's army, as well as the location of the assembly, and even the route from Donghae County to Liguchuan had detailed orders.
The three major military systems of Yanguo, the northwest battalion of the frontier, the five battalions of the Imperial Forest Army of Yanjing, and then there are the local armies that obey the orders of the military department at any time.
In the middle, the family army cannot be prepared, only when the court issues an order, the family can assemble the family army according to the instructions of the military department, otherwise, it will be a rebellion.
Li Guchuan, that is the junction of Huiji County and Bozhou County, the family army is assembled in Li Guchuan, this is to do it to the Ye and Wu families.
