Since the Son of Heaven was critically ill, the important ministers of the court took turns to stay in the palace, and there were also people on duty at night, and several ministers lived in the court room and did not go home for the time being.

Fan Ning found Han Qi in the court room of the Zhizheng Hall, Han Qi had not rested well in the past few days, he looked very tired, he saw Fan Ning coming, and smiled: "I knew that Zhan Shi did not return home!" ”

"There's something important, I want to ask Xianggong for help!"

"What's the matter?"

Fanning pointed outside, "Han Gong, let's talk outside!" ”

Han Qi glanced at him suspiciously, but still went out with him.

"What!"

Han Qi's eyes widened, "Zhang Yaozuo is going to launch a mutiny, why didn't he say it earlier?" ”

"Han Gong, the mutiny has not happened yet, judging from all aspects of intelligence, Zhang Yaozuo is not finally ready, he still needs at least one day, according to the news I have gotten, it will soon be tomorrow night, I have completed the arrangement in the city, I am a little worried about the outside of the city."

Han Qi pondered for a moment and said, "If you want to transfer the army outside the city, you must have a tiger talisman and a gold medal, and you also need someone to make the army believe. ”

Fan Ning said slowly: "I have asked the imperial heir to get the tiger talisman and the gold medal, as for the people who go to transfer troops, I want to ask Han Xianggong!" ”

Han Qi didn't shirk, he also knew that he was very suitable, he nodded, "Then I'll go!" Go to the camp in the east of Jinmingchi, where there are 100,000 troops, which is enough to deal with Zhang Yaozuo's mutiny. ”

The two discussed the details for a few more moments before Fanning returned to the Shenwu Army barracks.

Late at night, Zhao Ji hurried back, and he really lived up to the trust and got the jade seal, gold medal and tiger talisman.

"The Imperial Grandmother wants to settle this matter peacefully, with as few killings as possible, and let the Imperial Grandfather leave quietly."

"This is the case with the Son of Heaven?" Fanning asked.

Zhao Ji shook his head and said gloomily: "It's likely that we won't be able to wake up, the imperial doctor has already asked us to arrange the future." ”

"Still have a pulse?"

"And one more, very faint."

Fan Ning pondered and said: "You take the jade seal, you still stay by the emperor's grandfather's side, he should still have a return to the light, and it is likely that he will wake up and let him see you for the last time." ”

Zhao Ji's tears welled up, Fan Ning pressed his shoulder and gritted his teeth and said: "Now is not the time to cry, when we annihilate Zhang Yaozuo, you can cry again!" ”

Zhao Ji wiped away his tears, "I'm over!" ”

Fan Ning nodded, and watched Zhao Ji leave the barracks and go to the harem under the protection of a hundred guards.

As soon as dawn came, Han Qi went out of the city under the escort of a cavalry to Dongdaying to deliver orders, and at the same time, Zhao Shiyue, the general of Qianniuwei, found Fanning.

At present, there are three armies guarding the palace, in addition to the left and right guard guards guarding the imperial city and the Shenwu army guarding the east palace, the other army is the Qianniu reserve army guarding the palace city, about 3,000 people, which is the core force of the Son of Heaven.

"Fan Zhanshi, I heard that you are in a hurry to find me?"

Fan Ning smiled slightly: "General Zhao, please sit down and talk, there is indeed a major situation to discuss with General Zhao." ”

Zhao Shiyue sat down, and Fan Ning said, "I'm telling you clearly now, Zhang Yaozuo is preparing to launch a mutiny!" ”

"What?"

Zhao Shiyue stood up suddenly, staring at Fan Ning sternly, "This kind of thing is not said casually, do you have evidence?" ”

"I can't get the conclusive evidence until after dark, but I only tell you one thing, since ten days ago, the seven thousand Zhuang Ding of Zhang Yaozuo's thirteen manors have been assembling to the manor located in the west of the city, and the assembly will be completed this morning, they all change their armor in the manor, holding bows and crossbows and spears, and they have become a formal army, if General Zhao feels that it is not evidence, then it is at least a warning."

The reason why Zhao Shiyue was suspicious was that he thought that Fan Ning was looking for an excuse to kill Zhang Yaozuo, but the Son of Heaven promised to protect Zhang Yaozuo and give him the Iron Coupon Danshu, but if Zhang Yaozuo was suspected of rebellion, the Iron Coupon Danshu would not be able to protect him.

Zhao Shiyue's face changed slightly, if it was really like what Fan Ning said, the seven thousand Zhuang Ding turned into a formal army, then the problem was indeed serious.

At this time, Fan Ning said lightly: "I know that Zhang Yaozuo has the Iron Coupon Danshu, so I knew that he was going to rebel, but I didn't take the initiative to take action, lest someone say that I forced Zhang Yaozuo to rebel, I'm waiting, and I'll clean him up after he takes action on his own, so as to avoid someone saying that I vent my anger and retaliate." ”

Zhao Shiyue's face was slightly hot, Fan Ning was talking about himself!

He was a little embarrassed and said: "I'm not protecting Zhang Yaozuo, if Zhang Yaozuo really wants to rebel, I will be the first to kill him, Fan Zhanshi, since you have mastered the changes in Zhang Yaozuo's manor, then we should be vigilant enough, can Fan Zhanshi tell me the clues you have mastered, and I can defend against them." ”

Fan Ning smiled faintly and said, "What are the troops that Zhang Yaozuo controls, does General Zhao understand?" ”

Zhao Shiyue thought for a while and said: "Zhang Jinding, the general of the left guard of the Beida camp, Zhang Husheng, the commander of the Flying Leopard Army, and then Jiang Yuan, the general of the left guard, are near the Beijing Division, and I know these three people." ”

"So who's the most important?"

"Naturally, it is Jiang Yuan, the general of the left prison guard, and the armies of the other two are stationed outside the city, and he is the only one responsible for guarding half of the imperial city."

Zhao Shiyue suddenly understood, "Jiang Yuan is the most dangerous person!" ”

Fan Ning nodded, "Jiang Yuan has already sent his concubine and son out of the city early this morning, in fact, we can take action to control him now, but I am worried that it will startle the snake and make Zhang Yaozuo outside the city jump over the wall, so I will wait for the city gate to be closed before taking action against Jiang Yuan." ”

"Then how do you need me to cooperate with Zhan Shi?"

Fan Ning said slowly: "I only implore General Zhao to do one thing, if the official family unfortunately dies today, please General Zhao must block the news, I am afraid that Zhang Yaozuo will launch a mutiny in advance after getting the news and disrupt my deployment." ”

"How long does that need to be blocked?"

"Before dawn tomorrow at the latest, if it ends early, I will inform the general!"

Zhao Shiyue said solemnly: "I promise you, I will close the gate of the inner palace now, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave, and I will explain to the queen mother." ”

Zhao Shiyue hugged his fists and saluted, and left in a hurry.

Zhang Yaozuo stayed up all night, and early in the morning he got the news sent by Zhao Changji, the deputy head of the Ouchi, that the Son of Heaven was still in a severe coma last night, and the chief imperial physician believed that the condition of the Son of Heaven could survive for one or two days.

This made Zhang Yaozuo breathe a sigh of relief, he was worried that the Son of Heaven died last night, and the emperor's heir Zhao Ji ascended the throne, he would be a little in trouble, it was best to launch a coup d'état when the Son of Heaven was alive, so that he overthrew not the Son of Heaven, but the emperor's heir, and the nature was different.

Judging from the news sent by Zhao Changji, the situation in the palace was very calm, and the officials in the court did not realize that a palace coup was about to happen, which made Zhang Yaozuo very proud.

'Quiet as a virgin, moving as a rabbit', it's yourself!

At this time, Zhang Yaozuo's second son, Zhang Xin, rode over on horseback, bowed down and said, "Father, the army has been assembled, please ask my father to patrol!" ”

Zhang Yaozuo nodded, several family members helped him onto the war horse, and more than a dozen heavily armed entourages accompanied him to the open land of the manor, seven thousand family members wearing armor and holding spears and knives were neatly arranged, and the flag was flying, and on the flag was a large bucket of characters, embroidered with gold thread, and there was a flying dragon in the air on each side.

Seven thousand Zhuang Ding neatly armored, sword light flashing, murderous, this is Zhang Yaozuo spent ten years and spent countless money to train an army, usually distributed in various manors, today for the first time gathered together.

All the armor and weapons were purchased by Zhang Yaozuo from the black market one after another, and the equipment of 7,000 people cost him more than 200,000 yuan, but it was all worth it.

Zhao Wenyun is just a transition, once he grasps the power of the court, sooner or later the Zhang family will take the throne, and Zhang Yaozuo began to dream of the scene where the Zhang family replaced the Zhao royal family.

After more than 20 years of patience, this moment is coming.

Zhang Yaozuo shouted in a trembling voice: "Soldiers, tonight will be the time for you to show your talents, show your courage, I will let wealth and women spread under everyone's feet!" ”

"Hooray! Banzai! ”

The tsunami-like shouts of the soldiers sent Zhang Yaozuo to the clouds.
