Chapter 774: The two sisters turn things around
When Li Linan came to this news, even Yang Jing was very surprised!
Not to mention that although Chen Chao has a lot of people, he is not elite, and he is not a good player, and being familiar with the terrain is naturally familiar with the terrain, but when it comes to searching and arresting people, how can it be compared to Li Yu, Lin Jue, Li Zhun and others?
But neither Li Zhun nor Lin Jue came with news, but let Li Lin'an's people take the lead in finding the mastermind behind the scenes, which made Yang Jing feel a little surprised.
Yang Jing thought that he had underestimated Li Linan and other Chen Dynasty catchers, but he had to suppress it temporarily.
Chen Xuan also looked surprised, got up from the bed, and shouted at Li Lin'an: "Okay!
He then asked, "Who is the mastermind behind the scenes, and where did he catch it?"
Li Linan looked at Chen Shoudu with some hesitation, the latter was also a little confused, and he was angry at Yang Jing's place, so he said angrily at this time.
"Your Majesty asked you, what you said, looking at what the old man did, could it be that the murderer is me!"
Chen Shoudu was very powerful, and as soon as these words came out, the officials inside and outside were a little panicked, but Li Linan said to Chen Xuan.
"Your Majesty, the mastermind behind the scenes is a barbarian witch from Siam, who is good at driving away evil gods and demons, raising zombies, very vicious, and was arrested in Xiangguo's mansion!"
"This person's real name is Alotai, pseudonym Luo Zhe, he is a deacon in the Xiangguo Mansion, and he has been in the Xiangguo Mansion for three or four years, and the ministers have followed the corpse smell and footprints to track down to the Xiangguo Mansion, and the private soldiers of the Xiangguo Mansion ignored the king's law, resisted stubbornly, and rioted and arrested, and 79 thugs and thieves have been killed on the spot, and the rest have been imprisoned!"
"There are thirty-seven people including Chen Xuan, the son of Xiangguo Mansion, who killed the catcher despite dissuasion, and have been arrested by the forbidden army under his subordinates!"
"What!"
When Chen Shoudu heard this, he couldn't help jumping!
He was also a little sluggish, as if none of this was true, and after a while, he seemed to wake up again, pointing at Chen Xuan and Empress Shuntian, and said with trembling hands.
"You... You have done a great job! It turned out that it had been planned a long time ago, this is to kill rabbits, dead dogs, cook birds, and hide all bows, you are crossing the river and demolishing bridges, and you want to put the old man to die!"
Chen Xuan completely lost his submissive attitude at this time, but stood up straight, as if he stood up straight for the first time in his life, the whole person was a lot taller, and his bearing was even more aggressive!
"Uncle, Lone has always relied on you as the pillar of the humerus, and you are invited to take the lead in everything, so that you can enjoy the glory and wealth, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, how can you not tolerate your nephew and Shuntian, and even send someone to assassinate you!"
"If you don't want me to be the lord of this country, just one word, and my nephew will give you the throne, why can't you let my nephew live!"
When Chen Xuan said this, he was already crying with grief and indignation, listening to pathos, but it sounded like he was counting Chen Shoudu's crimes!
Yang Jing finally understood at this time that the mastermind behind the scenes may have been caught in Chen Shoudu's mansion, but the real person behind this case is not Chen Shoudu, nor Queen Shuntian, but the most inconspicuous and despicable Chen Xu!
If this is the case, then everything makes sense, although Chen Xuan is a puppet emperor and does not dare to disobey Chen Shoudu's intentions, but the people in the palace must be his henchmen, if even the personal guards are not cronies, this emperor is really too cowardly!
It is precisely because Chen Xuan is the mastermind behind the scenes that he was able to make that assassin come as he says he comes, leave as soon as he says, and if he is caught in Xiangguofu, he will be caught in Xiangguofu!
And now he used the reason of his attack to summon Chen Shoudu in, and now Chen Shoudu is alone, not at will, he can do whatever he wants!
Yang Jing subconsciously turned his head and looked at Queen Shuntian, but seeing that this woman was expressionless, she obviously knew it for a long time!
Queen Shuntian did not deceive Yang Jing, she was indeed not the mastermind behind the scenes, but she did not tell Yang Jing that she knew who the mastermind behind the scenes was, she was not the mastermind, but an accomplice!
Yang Jing has always wanted to support the people of the Li Dynasty, and Chen Xuan has actually become the person of Empress Shuntian and Emperor Li Zhao a long time ago!
Chen Xuan counted down Chen Shoudu, which can be said to be full of tears, and then loudly accused Chen Shoudu of controlling the government, insulting the royal family, disrespecting the royal family, vainly trying to rebel, etc., and said dozens of major crimes in one breath!
If it weren't for the early planning, Chen Xuan, who was afraid of ordinary people and didn't even dare to speak, how could he be clever and powerful at this time!
Chen Xuan announced Chen Shoudu's ten major crimes, and then said to Li Lin'an: "Come on, arrest this thief for me, investigate the remaining sins, and uproot them all together!"
Chen Xuan gave an order, and the guards outside rumbled in, not only arresting Chen Shoudu, but also the henchmen waiting outside, arresting a total of more than 60 senior officials!
This time it can be called lightning fast, the officials trembled, and they all knelt outside, but Nguyen Van Hung stood proudly!
Chen Xuan ordered Ruan Wenxiong: "Chen Shoudu assassinated the monarch and the queen, intending to rebel, he has been captured, and the stolen goods have been obtained, the reason is clear, there is no need to pass the trial, tomorrow he will be beheaded to show the public, with the Ming canon, the captain Ruan Wenxiong has worked hard and made great achievements, and he has been promoted to Xiangguo, and the halberd chief Li Lin'an has made meritorious service in escorting, and he has been promoted to the commander of the palace, and he is acting to control the upper and lower guards!"
Ruan Wenxiong still has military power in his hands, Chen Xuan does not dare to touch him, although he is promoted to Xiangguo, but everyone knows that Ruan Wenxiong will never be like Chen Shoudu, control the government, he will either hand over the military power to Li Lin'an and be an idle Xiangguo himself, or he is afraid that he will end up like Chen Shoudu now!"
Seeing this, Ruan Wenxiong finally knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Chen Xuan and said: "Minister Ruan Wenxiong, thank the Lord for his grace, and he will definitely repay the emperor's kindness!"
Chen Xuan saw that Ruan Wenxiong was soft, and he couldn't help but feel at ease, if Ruan Wenxiong mobilized troops and horses, he was afraid that Yang Jing would have to make a move in the end.
Fortunately, Nguyen Van Hung is a person who understands current affairs, and he sheds less blood.
Yang Jing looked at Chen Xuan at this time, as if he was looking at a complete stranger!
It was he and Empress Shuntian who planned all this, although it was for the regime of Da Yue, in order to keep the throne, in order to eradicate Chen Shoudu, a traitorous hero, but the price to pay was too great, you must know that those people in the palace were killed by assassins, and they were all human lives!
This is also the reason why Yang Jing resists politics and the struggle in the court, no matter what, these people always like to use the banner of the overall situation of justice, disregard human life, and use human life as a bargaining chip!
Chen Xuan issued a holy decree one after another, eradicating all Chen Shoudu's cronies, and would rather kill the mistake than let it go, and took the opportunity to promote many people.
Among them is Li Fuchen, who is loyal to Chen Shoudu, but respects and loves Li Zhaohuang, which Yang Jing has personally experienced.
However, Chen Xuan and Shuntian did not relent, exterminated Li Fu Chen's family, and welcomed Li Zhaohuang back to the palace!
How cruel the Chen family used to be to the Li family, how cruel Chen Xuan is to the Chen family now, here is the grudge between the two clans, mixed with political struggle, setting off this bloody storm, it is naturally difficult to quell.
And Yang Jing finally understood that although Chen Xuan was the mastermind behind the scenes, he was a person surnamed Chen after all, how could he take such revenge on the Chen family?
Even if he is a puppet emperor, he is psychologically twisted and perverted, he shouldn't do such a thing, right?
It wasn't until Li Zhaohuang entered the palace that Yang Jing saw Chen Xuan's attitude towards Li Zhaohuang that he had a guess in his heart.
Maybe Chen Xuan was just instructed by someone, the real mastermind, I am afraid that he escaped the Li Dynasty queen Li Zhaohuang who was killed by Chen Shoudu by pretending to be crazy and stupid!
Yang Jing has been watching from the sidelines, and he has not made any statement about what Chen Xuan has done, just the role of a bystander, after all, this is someone else's internal affairs, and he is not easy to interfere with.
It wasn't until Emperor Li Zhao entered the palace that Yang Jing whispered to Lu Baiyu and said, "Sister Baiyu, do you think this Chen Xuan will be under the mercy of the Li sisters if he has been hit by Gu or has been lowered?"
Lu Baiyu also secretly observed Chen Xuan for a long time, and at this time he shook his head resolutely and said: "This person has no signs of being hit by Gu, but there is evil energy in his eyes, and it is difficult to say if he really falls into the head..."
Yang Jing thought of Li Zhaohuang's innocence and helplessness at that time, remembered the helplessness of Empress Shuntian, and then looked at the anger of the two sisters who were now avenged, and suddenly remembered that he was unaware of the plot of these two women, and he was really afraid!
Yang Jing wanted an obedient agent to manage this Dayue land, just to save the Great Song Dynasty some trouble, which was somewhat precautionary.
It's just that how the Great Song side should deal with these things, Yang Jing doesn't want to get involved, let alone be involved in this coup.
He didn't talk to Chen Xuan either, but walked up to the Li sisters and sighed softly.
"This really surprised Ben Hou, but this is your internal matter, the Great Song Dynasty is here to fight the Mongols, and will not interfere with these things, if there is nothing else, Ben Hou will have to leave the palace. ”
Yang Jing said this, and asked Lu Baiyu to summon Ji Jin and the others, and the expressions of Emperor Li Zhaohuang and Empress Shuntian were very complicated, the two looked at each other, and then discussed quietly, and then said to Yang Jing.
"It's a big deal, and our sisters have to hide it from the Hou Ye, and I hope that the Hou Ye will understand, but it's just the matter of the national letter, and I hope that the Hou Ye will not stop it, Your Majesty has accepted the canonization of the Great Song Dynasty, and will definitely respect the Great Song Dynasty as the kingdom, and in the future, friendly exchanges will be a good thing for the people..."
Yang Jing originally wanted to support the people of the Li family, but now he does not need the restoration of the Li family, Chen Xuan is still in charge, but the two sisters are in charge, and this ending is not bad, at least the canonization of the national letter does not need to do anything else, nor does it need to explain and mediate to the Song Dynasty, Yang Jing is also happy.
"If so, it is naturally the best, I hope you can remember today's words, water can carry a boat can also overturn a boat, be kind to the people is to be kind to yourself, only the people support, can be eternal, you can do it yourself. ”
As soon as Yang Jing said this, Empress Shuntian and Emperor Li Zhao bowed down to Yang Jing, and Chen Xuan behind them actually saluted!
This also seems to be saying to Yang Jing that they have indeed controlled Chen Xuan, so that Yang Jing can rest assured and no longer need to worry about the situation in the future.
Yang Jing didn't say anything more, and after taking two steps, he suddenly remembered another question and said to them.
"I will let the army withdraw from Longyuan twenty miles, and give you a month to calm down the situation, if Dayue is in chaos at that time, I am afraid that the Mongols will attack first, and then the gains will outweigh the losses." ”
It is absolutely impossible to calm down the situation in a month, after all, Chen Shoudu's forces are all over Annan, although Shuntian and Li Zhaohuang also have supporters and followers, but the two sides are fighting openly and secretly, and it will be turbulent for a long time.
Whether they can temporarily put aside internal differences, unite with the outside world, give priority to assisting the Great Song Dynasty, and completely drive Kublai Khan's army out of the Dayue territory has become the first priority after the two sisters actually took power.
