Chapter 402: A Tragic Rebellion
Ding Lei had a very uneasy time during this time, especially after a series of incidents in the capital, it can be said that it is difficult to sleep and eat. The development of events completely exceeded his expectations, forcing him into a dead end.
The gods are above, Ding Lei thinks that he can swear to the sky, he has no intention of rebelling against the court, and with the strength he controls, it is impossible to have a great climate. He traveled to Beihu and presented beauties to the emperor, just to get more practical benefits, however, he never expected that his beauties would assassinate the emperor, isn't this playing himself to death?
Judging from the court report of the imperial court, the new concubine who murdered the emperor was killed on the spot, Ding Lei was shocked, and he was even more worried about whether the woman confessed to her traffic in Beihu. The next actions of the imperial court did not seem to move him, but he didn't know if it was because the imperial court was going to hold a state funeral and the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, and the deliberate delaying tactics were carried out, or if the imperial court really did not know about his crime of collaborating with the enemy.
However, one thing is certain, the death of the former emperor was due to a new concubine, and that concubine was sacrificed by him, and sooner or later the court will punish him for his crimes. He didn't know how the imperial court should punish him, and if he was given a choice, he just wanted to hand over the military power of Datong Mansion and return to Hetao. After all, Datong Mansion is the place where it has just taken charge, and the military heart has not yet been ambushed, but the Hetao area is an old base that has been in operation for many years.
He regrets it now, he shouldn't be in such a hurry to get control of Datong Mansion, the importance of Datong Mansion to the capital, fools know that the imperial court will definitely not rest assured that Datong Mansion will be in his hands, I am afraid that there will be action soon. Of course, if there is a regret medicine in this world, he will never sacrifice any women.
The new emperor's enthronement ceremony was completed, and the funeral of the first emperor was over, and Ding Lei had a premonition that the imperial court was going to free up its hands to clean him up. In fact, he also had the idea of uniting the soldiers and horses of Beihu to rebel, and got in touch with Beihu. But the next incident, made him very desperate, there were a number of riots in the hinterland of Beihu, so that the Beihu soldiers and horses did not go south for a long time, the imperial court seems to be prepared, Xuanfu and Ningxia Wei's soldiers and horses approached Datong Mansion and Hetao area military exercises respectively, and the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp were also abnormally mobilized in the name of drills, which was obviously aimed at him.
Ding Lei and his henchmen and generals had many secret discussions, but there was no safe way, so the matter dragged on in hesitation. But it was not a way to live in such fear, and in the end they agreed to test the attitude of the imperial court towards them, so they opened their mouths and concocted an excessive military supply list.
The imperial court did not make any comments on the supply order, but asked Ding Lei to go to Beijing to report on his work.
Going to Beijing to report on work? gave Ding Lei ten dares, but he didn't dare to go, and without the protection of the army, he was the meat on the chopping block of the imperial court. So, he refused to go to Beijing on the grounds that he was seriously ill. In his mind, the new dynasty was just established, the political situation was unstable, and the imperial court should not be able to do anything to him so quickly, as long as it dragged on for a while, the situation in Beihu was stable, and he would have a bargaining chip to negotiate with the imperial court.
However, the imperial court reacted quickly and directly ordered him to hand over his military power, go to Beijing to recuperate, and send another general to take over the defense of Datong Mansion and Hetao. Without military power, still playing fart?
Aunt can bear it, Uncle can't bear it! Ding Lei felt that he had no way to retreat except to give it a go, and it was a big deal to fail, so he led his troops to flee to Beihu for refuge.
At the beginning of the shift, Han Fei was still in the study to review the folds. A large number of recitals sent into Beijing from all over the country every day, coupled with the backlog before, the imperial study was piled up into a hill, although Han Fei diligently reviewed it every day, many things were not something he could decide alone, and he had to convene ministers to discuss, and even report to the queen mother of the two palaces, so the amount to deal with during the day was not much. It was inconvenient for him to live in the palace, so he had to take some of the recitals back to the house for approval.
"Grandpa, the commander of the Jinyi Mansion knows that Tang Yue has an urgent matter to see!"
Han Fei listened to Ling'er's words, didn't look up, and ordered, "Bring it in!" ”
Tang Yue felt that the wisest decision in his life was to attach himself to Han Fei, he had already felt that he was not far from the position of the commander of the Jinyi Mansion, and he walked with excitement.
"Knock on the duty to see the loyal country!" Tang Yue walked into the study and immediately bowed to the ground,
Han Fei was stunned for a moment when he saw Tang Yue making this big gift, and hurriedly got up and said, "What is Lord Tang doing here?" Hurry up, please! ”
"Zhongguo Gong is a lowly master, and the slave should pay a big salute to the master!"
Han Fei understood that Tang Yue was showing his intentions, and if he wanted to consolidate his position with the Han family, he naturally had to ambush more available helpers, and let Tang Yue control the Jinyi Mansion, which was very beneficial to himself. He glanced at Tang Yue deeply, and said, "Okay, Lord Tang will be his own person from now on, no need to be polite!" What's the urgency of your coming here tonight? ”
Tang Yue's expression was solemn, he took out an urgent report from his arms, presented it to Han Fei, and said: "The Jinyi Mansion spy who is monitoring Ding Lei has reported an urgent report, Ding Lei has gathered troops in Datong Mansion and rebelled with the flag!" ”
"Order the Jinyi Mansion secret agents to continue to closely monitor the movements of Ding Lei's army, and you will lead people to arrest all Ding Lei's family members overnight!"
After Tang Yue left, Han Fei read the emergency report and instructed Ling'er: "Send someone to hold my name and ask the three auxiliary ministers to come to the palace to discuss the military situation!" ”
After all, it was only the first day, and the time was still early, and Prince Duyun Teng Jiangfeng soon came to the Han Mansion, and Han Fei handed them the urgent report of the Jinyi Mansion and said, "Ding Lei is reversed!" ”
"It's finally the other way around!" Du Yun sighed secretly and said, "Datong Mansion is close to the capital, is our deployment effective?" If there is a loophole, the capital is in danger! ”
"Father-in-law, rest assured, although Ding Lei's army has 100,000 people, but half of them are the original soldiers and horses of Datong Mansion, Ding Lei has not taken over Datong Mansion for a long time, this part of the people must be inseparable from him, even if it is the soldiers and horses in the original Hetao area, I am afraid that not everyone is willing to pay for the lives of the family and follow him to the end. This rebellion is destined to be a farce, since he wants to die, the court will fulfill him! ”
Han Fei glanced at the three of them, and said: "In order to end this farce as soon as possible, this seat decided to meet him in person, and at the same time, the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu and Ningxia Wei were ordered overnight to attack left and right, cutting off his back way to flee to the desert!" ”
Ding Lei's 100,000-strong army was menacing, and Han Fei led 150,000 Jingying troops to stop him fifty miles north of the capital.
Han Fei was wearing the eagle-faced armor obtained from the desert, riding a red rabbit horse, and hanging the sword of the Son of Heaven given by the first emperor on his waist, staring at Ding Lei, who was showing off his might in front of him, and the army behind him, glanced at it, and shouted to the deputy general beside him: "Go and pass on the order of this seat!" ”
The adjutant general urged the horse out of the battle, came to Ding Lei's army, and shouted: "The public order of the loyal country: Ding Lei plotted to kill the first emperor and raised troops to rebel, and the crime is not forgiven. ”
Han Fei saw the general behind Ding Lei hesitating, his eyes flashed, and he shouted: "Bring Ding Lei's family out, escort them to the front of the battle, and behead them on the spot!" ”
Ding Lei's family members were killed one by one, and the miserable howl completely made Ding Lei's generals panic, they can imagine that if they continue to rebel with Ding Lei, their families will also end up in the same fate. At this time, Ding Lei was even more completely crazy, brandishing his weapon and shouting: "Father, mother, the child will avenge you......"
In the next second, Ding Lei's head was cut off by his own general, and the shouting stopped abruptly.
