Wang Xunfu didn't just lead 8,000 Xuanwu elites to the palace, he knew that if he rashly led the troops to storm the palace, he would definitely be branded as a rebel. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Therefore, Wang Xunfu contacted the ministers of the court and all the lords in Beijing.

Inform all the officials and lords with the intimate hand of the queen: the emperor's life and death are unknown, the eldest prince was framed and expelled from Beijing, the mourning family has not seen the emperor for dozens of days, and each time it is blocked back by Feng Tao, the mourning family is afraid that the eunuchs will mess with the government, and secretly ordered Xuanwuwei to enter Beijing to lurk, in case of accidents, so please all loyal courtiers and Xuanwuwei enter the palace to work with the king.

The lord minister, who was good friends with Wang Xunfu, saw the edict of the queen Wang, and without the slightest hesitation, he set off with the guardian and Xuanwuwei.

Along the way, Wang Xunfu's team kept growing.

And Ning Fei's faction, who had always been on the wrong path with Wang Xunfu, was extremely surprised when they learned that Wang Xunfu was leading eight thousand Xuanwu elites to the palace, when did so many Xuanwuwei people enter the city? Not even a little news?

However, after reading the intimate message of the queen, he was relieved, and he had to admire the foresight of the queen, also because the eldest prince was demoted from Beijing, Ning Zheng led a group of ministers to see Emperor Xiaozong, hoping to take back his fate, but he was also blocked by Feng Tao.

What is a eunuch?

The Celestial Empire once had such a thing, the chief eunuch in the palace colluded with the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses to rebel, and held the emperor hostage at that time, if it weren't for the Jinyi military army to rescue the emperor at the cost of the entire army, then the current Celestial Dynasty may have already changed its surname.

Not only because of this is that the ministers are afraid of the eunuchs, but there is also a reason, that is, the documents, political opinions, and practices of the eunuchs are no worse than those of the civil officials. is nothing more than a gold list, and then he is even more bent on how to improve his reputation and promotion, and he completely lacks practical ability.

The eunuchs in the palace are different, they are all real, and the palace is running like a small court, so many of the eunuchs who have been trained in the palace study hall are from the lowest level, and they can be the head of a department, and their practical handling ability is definitely not weak.

In this regard, there is a faint trend of surpassing the civil officials of the outer court, and more eunuchs have been exiled as officials, so the civil officials are also guarding against and suppressing eunuchs everywhere, but there are also many practical officials among the civil ministers, such as Liu Rui, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

In this regard, Ning Zheng thought about it and contacted the ministers of his own faction to join Wang Xunfu's team.

For a time, the initial number of people increased from 8,000 to 40,000 or 50,000, and the number is still increasing.

Jiucheng Soldiers and Horses, after receiving the report from the city patrol team, the military governor Hong Nanzhong was a little stunned, eight thousand Xuanwu guards? Why haven't I heard of so many people coming into the city? And it was Wei Guogong who personally led the team to the palace.

Hong Nanzhong, who was stunned, fell into deep thought for a moment, thinking not about how to prevent Wei Guogong from making any moves, but whether to join Wei Guogong's ranks.

The governor of the people on the side slapped the table handling the official document with a palm, and shouted angrily: "What are you stunned about? The entire eight thousand Xuanwu guards didn't know that they had entered the city, and immediately asked the Miao Dafang brothers to lead the soldiers to block all the city gates and guard, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. ”

Hong Nanzhong, who woke up in the sound, was happy in his heart: Guo Zicheng is really good at being a man, so it is difficult for other armies to enter the city, and there is only one opponent left on Wei Guogong's side.

However, not long after the joy in the Hongnan Center, Guo Zicheng spoke again: "Immediately let people inform the little marquis that the intention of the army of Wei Guogong to invade the palace is unknown, and I hope that the little marquis will quickly enter the palace to defend the palace city." ”

Guo Zicheng has never recognized Yan Yushu as the governor of the nine cities, so he called him the little marquis, after all, the governor of the nine cities must be able to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and the lower can control the people's livelihood, while Yan Yushu only has the ability to kill the enemy and unify the army, but has no ability to deal with internal affairs.

"Gather all the personnel of the Nine Cities Terracotta Division for me to prevent some lawbreakers from fishing in troubled waters at this time and encroaching on civilian merchants."

"Brother Guo, is this appropriate?" Hong Nanzhong immediately heard the vigilance of Wei Guogong in Guo Zicheng's order, and although he didn't say it explicitly, he had already beaten Wei Guogong directly into the queue of disobedience.

Guo Zicheng served as a county official in his early years, and was purged because of horse thieves in the county, and even abandoned literature and joined the army, and after more than ten years, he was promoted to the governor of Jiucheng Soldiers and Horses.

did not immediately respond to Hong Nanzhong's words, but shouted at the people below: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Go quickly, one step later will ask for your heads. ”

Then he turned his head to look at Hong Nanzhong and said, "Brother Hong? You are very close to Lord Shangshu Wang of the Ministry of Works, so I will handle these things, and if something bad happens, Brother Hong, you have nothing to do with it. ”

After hearing Guo Zicheng's words, Hong Nanzhong swallowed his saliva.

Lord Shangshu Wang of the Ministry of Industry is naturally Wang Jieliang, the youngest son of Wei Guogong.

The power of the governor of the Jiucheng Terracotta Division is the same, if Hong Nanzhong was not weak-minded, he could have refuted Guo Zicheng, but at this time, he said haha: "Hehe, Brother Guo is thoughtful." In the end, he left the Nine Cities official office in a gloomy manner.

Looking at Hong Nanzhong's leaving, Guo Zicheng scolded secretly and said, "Dog, count you as acquaintances." ”

Suddenly, Guo Zicheng removed his official uniform, revealing a pair of close-fitting chain mail inside.

No one knows how many years this governor has been wearing an official uniform on the outside and armor on the inside, and perhaps only he knows about it.

After showing off his armor, Guo Zicheng said to his cronies: "Let Miao Dafang leave me two thousand soldiers, and I will go to the palace to maintain order." ”

When his subordinates heard this, they were a little stunned, and said in confusion: "My lord, are you too worried?" There are bloody battles in the palace, and hasn't the little marquis been notified? ”

"Hmph, bloody battles? The emperor can't trust them, how can the official believe them? It's better to go in person to feel at ease, otherwise you will really be a courtier. Guo Zicheng looked awe-inspiring.

The reason why the bloody battle was not appointed by Guo Zicheng was mostly due to the influence of Emperor Xiaozong.

Because Emperor Xiaozong did not give a soldier to the bloody battle, it was completely a fictitious title in name only, in comparison, Guo Zicheng still trusted Yan Yushu, after all, Emperor Xiaozong, the little marquis, personally appointed him as the governor of Jiucheng Soldiers and Horses, and some time ago he also served as the commander of the new army, there is no doubt that Emperor Xiaozong completely trusts Yan Yushu, so Guo Zicheng also believes it.

This is the so-called imperial party, which believes that what the emperor says is right, and even if it is wrong, it is only an occasional omission.
