Chapter 574: Building Momentum
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the road to the imperial city was white.
The second prince held the reins in his hand, trembling with nervousness, and could hardly feel the heat.
"Your Highness." Mr. Hung approached on horseback and walked side by side with him.
The second prince seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly asked, "Sir, shall we just go in like this?" ”
Mr. Hong smiled: "Of course not. ”
"So what to do?"
Mr. Hong said: "We also need someone to write the edict. ”
The second prince was stunned, and his brain, which had been suspended for a long time, finally began to turn.
"You mean, how many ministers?"
Mr. Hong smiled and nodded.
On the surface, there must be someone who seems to be about the same weight to support him, and bow down on behalf of his courtiers after his successful mutiny, so that the drama of seizing the throne can be played out like a thing.
A lot of times, it's hard to see clearly when you're in the game.
The second prince knew that he didn't have much strength.
The emperor is still in power, and most of the officials he has befriended are young officials who have not yet mastered the right to speak. On the forbidden army's side, only the Xuanwu battalion can be mobilized.
So we have to build momentum.
took advantage of the fact that others didn't understand, and created a momentum of Xuanhe, and subdued those who couldn't see the situation clearly.
Just imagine, he succeeded in seizing the palace, sat in that position, and some important ministers shouted long live, those official positions were not high enough, is there an illusion that he has mastered the world? As long as their knees are weak and they kneel down, then the name will be made.
To put it bluntly, it's a lie.
But the second prince still didn't have confidence: "Sir, those guys are too slippery!" This king has been friends for so long, and he refuses to vote for any of them. This ......"
Mr. Hong smiled: "You are too honest, do you have to take the initiative?" ”
The second prince was puzzled: "Sir, what do you mean by this?" Is it forcibly ......"
Mr. Hong said with a smile: "Today's rotation in the Mingguang Hall is Guo Xu. He was going to leave the palace before, but he was already detained in Yongle Gate. ”
The second prince let out an "ah".
Mr. Hong simply said more clearly: "I believe you know in your heart what kind of person this Guo Xiangye is." In the past, you had the most ambiguous attitude with them, and he was the one who had the most ambiguous attitude. Why did he refuse to offend His Highness? First, his foundation is not as deep as that of other ministers, and second, he is such a profit-seeking person, he thinks that His Royal Highness may ascend to the throne, so he is unwilling to offend. ”
"But he has come back from the northwest, and he is in full swing, and now he may not pay attention to this king......"
Mr. Hong shook his head: "Your Highness, what I want to say is Guo Xu's personality." He is greedy for power and profit, sees the wind and turns the rudder, and has quite a gambler's mentality. We detain his people and make it clear that he will be killed if he doesn't comply, do you think he will be? If you don't obey, if you die, you'll have nothing. From there, he may become the prime minister in one step, isn't this exactly in line with his personality? I really can't think of any reason for him to refuse. ”
The second prince finally understood: "I see! ”
Mr. Hong made it clear to him one by one, and the second prince's confidence instantly increased.
In this way, he has a good chance of success!
The emperor went to the palace, and half of the important ministers left, and now the court is empty!
As long as Guo Xu is convinced, as soon as he takes the lead and kills a few more disobedient people, those officials who stay will definitely not be able to hold on.
Therefore, even if there is only the Xuanwu Battalion, as long as he directly takes the Yellow Dragon and controls the palace, he can become the master of Yunjing.
And Xiushan, the assassination was successful, the ministers were leaderless, and when he came back, he was on the move, what else could he do but accept his fate?
The set of rules of the monarch and the father and son is here, and if these courtiers want to change the emperor, they must find another master.
If he succeeds, King An will die, and the deposed prince and his two younger brothers will not have to live.
They can't even find their master, and no matter how unconvinced they are, they can only kneel down to him!
Thinking about the joints, the second prince finally stopped being nervous, and even felt high-spirited.
He remembered what Mr. Hong said earlier, and he couldn't help but feel pride in his heart.
This is a road to kinghood!
……
Horses gallop, and the camp looms in the wind and snow.
Devan pulled the reins and stopped his mount.
Fu Jin behind him also stopped at the same time.
"Mr. Fu, there is the Vermilion Bird Camp in front." Devan gasped.
"Hmm." Fu Jin gasped a little harder than him, but he was full of energy, no different from a young man.
Di Fan couldn't help but be convinced, he thought that Fu Jin was a literati, and when he was old, he would not be able to stand up to the snow galloping, but he didn't expect him to look so energetic.
"Mr. Fu, I'll be honest with you, I'm familiar with the Vermilion Bird Camp, that is, a few of them, and their commanders have no friendship with me, so I can't be convinced."
Fu Jin smiled: "There is no need to convince him. ”
Di Fan was puzzled: "Then what should I do?" ”
Fu Jin glanced over: "You are all waiting, and you are the ones who lead the troops on the front line." ”
Di Fan was silent for a while, and then popped out a few words: "You want to set up his ......"
"How do you call it overhead?" Fu Jin smiled, "It's just a matter of trying to give him a day off." ”
Seeing that he was not in high spirits, Fu Jin continued to agitate: "General Di, what we are doing is a good thing. Think about it, the chaotic ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished, and some people take advantage of the fact that the saint is not a demon, and we will quell the trouble, which is the behavior of the loyal king. On the contrary, we sit idly by, and that is worthy of God's grace. ”
Di Fan sighed and said, "Mr. Fu, you don't have to say it. I understand this truth, and I also believe in Master Jiang. After a pause, he said, "Commander, I didn't think much of it. But Lord Jiang and His Royal Highness King Yue were kind to me, and when I was in the most difficult time, they were willing to believe in me and work hard for me. If they really succeed today, Lord Jiang will not mention it for the time being, His Royal Highness King Yue will probably not be able to save his life, right? I'll do my best for that. ”
Fu Jin laughed: "General Di is really righteous. ”
Di Fan smiled reluctantly and continued to urge the horse: "Let's go!" ”
He thought, what Fu Jin said made sense. How could the soldiers below doubt that these front-line leaders claimed to have received the Holy Order, but the commanders did not appear? What's more, when it comes to comradeship, they eat and drink with the sergeants below every day, which will only be deeper.
The most important thing is that there is no time to persuade now.
The Xuanwu battalion has moved, and if you want to stop it, you must send troops immediately!
……
Jiang Wenfeng is also busy.
After Fu Jin took Di Fan away, he immediately sent his subordinates to the princes and ministers of various families in the name of discussing the fight against the snow disaster.
Lord Jiang is still very good-looking, and by night, half of the people came to the government one after another.
Those who could comprehend his intentions were all smart people, and when they entered the palace, they were even more uneasy when they saw so many people.
When Jiang Wenfeng came in, these princes and important ministers all hugged him.
"Master Jiang, what's going on?"
