Chapter 1047: Confession
There are also several mansions in the capital, which are equipped with force equipment in advance, although they are not like Sun Yang, who have extremely fast action and force value, but they are also much stronger than the soldiers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division.
After getting the signal of action, these guards were dispatched in unison, and while solving the stubborn resistance of the soldiers and horses of the five cities, they converged on the main road at the north gate of the capital.
An Guogong took five hundred iron horsemen and rumbled through this chaotic street market and headed for the north gate of the capital.
The five hundred iron horsemen were followed by the other guards.
Outside the capital, it was also dusty, and all the soldiers and horses that could be used by the camp on the outskirts of Beijing had been assembled. These soldiers and horses, in addition to garrisoning the north gate, the rest of the soldiers and generals began to spread from the north gate to both sides, and gradually formed a siege of the capital.
Huang Zan, the commander of the Imperial City Guard, is a member of the prince's family. At the beginning, when he saw the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, he was still lucky, thinking that the crown prince who took the palace would definitely be able to send an edict with a royal seal.
In that way, he can smoothly take over the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and another explanation that 100,000 soldiers will surround the capital, or it can help the crown prince ascend the throne smoothly.
However, what he was waiting for was the ringing arrows flying from all over the capital, and the riots in the streets of the capital. waited for An Guogong and nearly 2,000 fierce guards behind An Guogong. Most of these guards were well-known military guards, who had really fought on the battlefield, with a natural aura of slaughter.
Under the constraints of imperial power, An Guogong's influence in the forbidden army and the guards of the capital was not great. However, for the 100,000 troops of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, he has the prestige of almost a god of war.
When the prince planned to start an incident, Huang Zan was in favor of it. He believes that the crown prince and King Fu conspire to succeed at least seventy percent, which is enough.
He originally thought that by the way, he could change himself to a first-class meritorious service, glorify the lintel for his ancestors, and lay a foundation for his children and grandchildren.
However, in the face of the vast number of troops outside the city and An Guogong who was eyeing the city, Huang Zan knew that the general trend had gone. If he dies, he may be able to change the lives of his children and grandchildren.
Huang Zan then sighed, stood on the city gate tower, and apologized for his crimes, under the eyes of many people, the real blood was splashed.
The crown prince and King Fu probably couldn't have imagined that this palace change, which had been planned for several months, would not last even a day. When it was dark, this palace change was completely quelled.
King Fu is on the run, and the prince is taken down and detained by the personal guard battalion.
Despite his physical and mental exhaustion, the emperor issued repeated orders to find and arrest King Fu and members of the princelings. Officials directly involved in the rebellion were arrested and imprisoned on the spot, and the government restricted entry and exit, waiting for the trial of the circumstances of the case for the next step of investigation and punishment.
The first and only purge of the Qianqing Dynasty is about to begin.
Although the emperor was calm and responded appropriately in the face of great changes, he was also physically and mentally exhausted when the matter was over.
This whole day, not only the emperor was frightened, but he was in danger. The ministers who participated in the early dynasty and the officials in the various yamen can be regarded as experiencing a great change.
Especially the officials who participated in the early dynasty did not beat water and rice for almost a whole day.
Even so, after the situation was brought under control, these people did not have a chance to rest and began to be questioned by the pro-guard battalion. In order to clear his suspicions, he provided various grounds and reasons that had nothing to do with King Fu and the crown prince.
There are also people who do not have to face the pro-guard camp and are directly interrogated by the emperor, and their crimes are obvious and serious.
Outside the emperor's bedroom, kneeling were An Guogong, Jinrong and Jiang Yifan.
The emperor sat on the couch with a cold face: "Ye Tang, I have always relied on you, but I didn't expect you to dare to transfer the camp on the outskirts of Beijing without permission." The responsibility of the Duke of An Guo in the past dynasties was to defend the imperial power, and without the instructions of the emperor, he must not use his prestige in the army. But how do you do it?! ”
An Guogong bowed his head deeply: "Your Majesty, Weichen knows that he is wrong." But Wechen also has a secret, and at that critical moment, I really couldn't allow Wechen to think a lot. If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is allowed to succeed to the throne in chaos, or if he divides the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty with King Fu, it will also endanger the imperial power and will not be tolerated by the ancestors. Weichen was really forced to make this decision. ”
He can't admit this crime, and if he confesses, won't the honor of the Anguo Mansion be ruined in his hands? What did his brother start in the future? What has he worked so hard for in the past few years?
The emperor's face was ugly, and An Guogong was indeed loyal to him. But the threat behind this loyalty is staggering.
The 100,000 troops on the outskirts of Beijing who defended the imperial city could be mobilized with just a token and a handwritten letter from An Guogong. This kind of prestige and courage really makes it difficult for the superior to sit still.
However, Ye Tang's defense was unbelievably irrefutable.
If this palace change is successful, the crown prince ascends the throne, or the world is divided by two evil sons, such a situation is indeed that the foundation of the royal family of the Great Xia Dynasty is shaking.
In this case, even if An Guogong could not obtain the royal private seal and military talisman, he did have the responsibility to use his prestige in the army to relieve the crisis of imperial power.
The emperor looked at An Guogong lightly: "Ye Aiqing has committed such a big taboo, it is not okay not to punish it." Ye Aiqing will go to the court tomorrow, pass the title to his children and grandchildren, Ye Aiqing himself, just retire. ”
An Guogong frowned, when he used his personal prestige to mobilize the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, he had imagined various results. What the emperor is talking about now is one of the various results, which is not unexpected.
However, whenever he thought of the young grandson who was about to fall down when he ran fast, and was respected as An Guogong, he felt that his teeth were sore.
"What? Ye Aiqing would actually be attached to this position? Won't retreat? ”
An Guogong was a lot old, and when he was asked by the emperor like this, he had to kowtow to the emperor, and thanked him: "Wechen is just surprised, Wechen thanks the emperor for his unfilial grandson." ”
The emperor's face calmed down slightly, glanced at the secretary and eunuch behind the bookcase in the corner, and continued: "From now on, the old Anguo Gong's Yulu will increase by two hundred stones every year. ”
An Guogong thanked him again, this time with sincere gratitude. Two hundred stone is not a little, but it is not much, and the Anguo Mansion is not short of these two hundred stone rice. But this is a signal that Ye Tang is still in the grip of the Holy Grace.
The emperor turned to Jinrong again: "King Yu......" He only said two words, which means that you can confess yourself.
Jinrong consciously made a great contribution, where would he eat this set, and hurriedly shouted: "Father Emperor Mingjian, this matter is not wrong." Erchen had reminded his father before that the second brother had contact with the seventh brother. It is understandable that the father is willing to believe that his son is good, but the son is worried about his father and takes some precautions, which is not wrong. ”
The corners of the emperor's tired eyes twitched again and again, Jinrong was right, but his plan was on the tip of the knife every step of the way, and he, the emperor Laozi, almost choked in his sleep.
Every time he thought of this, the emperor was in a cold sweat.
"Your worried rhetoric is too far-fetched, and it is more like taking the life of your emperor Lao Tzu to be the cornerstone of your overall plan." I want to talk about "Women's Beauty" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
