Chapter 118: The Golden Cicada Shelling Scheme
The prime minister has been up and down in this officialdom for so many years, so he is naturally cautious, this companion is like a tiger, and he has been with Wen Mingshi for most of his life, so he is naturally familiar with Wen Mingshi's temperament.
He obviously felt Wen Mingshi's abnormal state in the morning today, obviously there was a big change from a few days ago, it seemed that something was going on and he didn't know it.
Wen Yunxiang's army was unimpeded all the way at this time, and his heart was also lifted above the clouds, as if the supreme position of the imperial city was already within reach.
Under these circumstances, Wen Yunxiang received a letter from the prime minister, ordering him to stop the army immediately, and wait for the prime minister to investigate the matter in detail a few days later before opening the army.
Unexpectedly, Wen Yunxiang scoffed after receiving this letter, and today's Wen Yunxiang is no longer the Wen Yunxiang of the past.
Wen Yunxiang laughed at his grandfather in his heart, he was so timid that he was about to become a big deal, if he was really old, then all the layouts he had planned before should be regarded as making a wedding dress for himself.
This letter was brought by the thrush, and the prime minister naturally sent someone to bring a message to the thrush, and the thrush knew the prime minister's order, but Wen Yunxiang didn't care about the prime minister's worries in the letter, he just wanted to force the palace as soon as possible.
"Your Highness, the Prime Minister said ......"
Wen Yunxiang directly interrupted the thrush
"Prime Minister? Is this commander of the three armies the prime minister at this time? ”
Thrush was silent, she had completely seen the changes in Wen Yunxiang during her march with Wen Yunxiang in the past few days, he seemed to be so excited all the time, and even became a little ruthless.
It was impossible for Wen Yunxiang to stop Wen Yunxiang from being a slave and maid in the thrush, and he hurriedly and secretly ordered someone to quickly bring the news to the prime minister.
The current situation does not allow for mistakes at all, and a bad move is simply a loss of the whole game, and the thrush understands this truth, and the prime minister understands it even more.
It may be that this rebellious road has been smooth and calm all the way, Wen Yunxiang's confidence has been greatly satisfied and expanded, and his conceit has blinded his eyes.
The prime minister who received the news was also pacing back and forth in the prime minister's mansion, and it was impossible to dissuade Wen Yunxiang at this time, but he faintly felt that the emperor, the old fox, had hidden a hand in private, and his heart was a little unsure.
So he called the secret guard of the house
"Go and check for me, the army is in such a position."
At this time, in addition to the 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Imperial Forest Army guarding the imperial city, Wen Mingshi was able to mobilize the soldiers and horses who were far away at the border.
Something so big happened, with his understanding of Wen Mingshi, it was impossible not to inform the people who were far away at the border pass, and it was impossible to rely on this 10,000 imperial forest army to defend the imperial city.
Only if I know whether Wen Mingshi informed Guo Yuan, and entered the palace to usurp the throne before Guo Yuan, even if Guo Yuan arrived again, it would only be useless.
The prime minister knew that he couldn't persuade Wen Yunxiang, so he had to understand the last straw that could save the emperor, and this battle still had a great chance of winning.
in the Royal Palace
Even if Wen Yue stayed awake all night and went back to rest for a while in the early morning, he was still worried that Wen Qing couldn't sleep.
Wen Yue fidgeted, pacing back and forth in the room, Jin Tuan was a little worried about Wen Yue's body, afraid that she would not be able to bear it.
"Princess, go and rest a little longer, it will be useless to be in a hurry, or wait until the evening."
Wen Yue suddenly lowered his head a little frustratedly, the third brother didn't know what he was busy with recently, and he never came to see him. If you pretend to be the third brother's entourage, you will have a chance to sneak out.
That day, when Wen Yunxiu came to Wen Mingshi to explain the situation in the distance, Wen Mingshi had already sent someone to release the news and ordered the soldiers and horses in the distance to return to the imperial city to rescue them.
But after all, the soldiers and horses were still at the border, so they were naturally not as fast as Wen Yunxiang's side, so the news that the prime minister received was that the distant soldiers and horses would not be able to rescue Wen Yunxiang on the day of the siege.
At this time, the prime minister seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, and his eyebrows and eyes slowly stretched.
"Tell the order to go down and let those people into the city, and the rest of the people will secretly guard and unite with Xiang'er to besiege the imperial city in one fell swoop."
"No"
One of his black-clad men was ordered to leave.
The prime minister's eyebrows and eyes were full of pride at this time, as long as Wen Yunxiang could ascend to the throne, it would not be in vain for most of his life's preparations.
At that time, he will be above 10,000 people under one person, Wen Yunxiang must be afraid of him for three points, how he got this position, he knows better than anyone else.
After the prime minister's order was explained, a group of refugees appeared at the gate of the imperial city, wanting to enter the imperial city.
Every family dragged the elderly and children with their families, and there were many young and middle-aged people among them, looking poor.
Because the news of Wen Yunxiang's rebellion was well known, a large number of refugees from the neighborhood poured into the imperial city.
The number of men in charge of the garrison was increased from the original number to four times, and the identities of those who entered the imperial city were strictly checked.
Because these people are refugees, they have no support and no evidence, as long as it is clear that they do not carry swords and other sharp weapons, they can be put into the city.
Therefore, it was extremely easy for this group of people to enter the imperial city, and after entering the imperial city, the tall and burly man led by the refugees had a long scar on his face, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
Take a closer look, this group of people is the group of bandits that Wen Yunxiang led people to encircle and suppress.
And the old and weak women and children who used it as cover were the people who lived in the village in the mountains.
They obeyed the orders of the prime minister and disguised themselves in the imperial city.
When Wen Yunxiang attacked the mountain with fire that day, there was no chance of survival on the mountain, and they had already safely transferred all of them from a secret passage that had been prepared in the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.
This secret passage also disappeared with a fire, and they arranged the corpses in the mountain in advance, pretending to be lifeless.
The prime minister's calculation is really wonderful, since he used money to buy this thief and let them make a mess and occupy the mountain as the king, he has already prepared all this today.
Although these people are not without the martial arts of the secret guards he has carefully cultivated, they are extremely brave and ten.
The prime minister carefully placed this group of chess pieces in the mountains for several years in order to wait for this time, but one thing he was not worried about was this scholar, who stayed with them for nearly several years, but unexpectedly became the leader of this group of people.
Only the foolish people can manipulate, but the foolish people who have wisdom will no longer be stupid, and whether they will listen to him as before, he is a little bottomless.
Fortunately, he still had a second move, and took the opportunity to enter the imperial city to bring the old and weak, women and children to his place.
If there is some accident that he can't control, he can at least control the family of the bandits who are working for him, and it will be foolproof to threaten each other.
