Chapter 494: The Consequences of Kou Hi Wang Yanling's ambition
Seeing the Empress Dowager appear in the main hall, Empress Dowager Pan felt a chill in her heart.
If it was just Wang Yanling, even if the will in his hand was true, it would be difficult for him to regret his authority and win the trust of others.
After all, Wang Yanling is a minister, and he is the "king", no one will be convinced by the minister, and the ministers will also question him for holding the Son of Heaven hostage, but it is different with the Empress Dowager.
Although this old woman has a criminal record, she is also the grandmother of the little emperor's "in-law", and her seniority has pressed herself, and she cooperates with the will, which can be described as seamless.
Seeing Wang Yanling unfolding the display of her will, Empress Dowager Pan couldn't find the slightest flaw for a while, and couldn't help gritting her teeth with hatred:
"The edict is definitely not true, you are forcing the palace to rebel!"
Because she herself has the secret decree of the first emperor in her hands, under her preconceived ideas, she only feels cold in her heart and full of resentment.
It is said that the royal family is ruthless, and he thought that the first emperor entrusted the society and the emperor to himself on his deathbed, but he didn't expect that from beginning to end, he was calculating himself, and would rather hand over the biggest back hand to outsiders, but also guard against himself......
At this time, Pan Renmei also reacted from the shock, looking at the reaction of the Empress Dowager Pan, he did not hesitate at all, waved the wat board and reprimanded angrily:
"Wang Yanling, how dare you forge a will? Where is the samurai, who will not take down the traitor with me? ”
The current situation is a bit beyond his control, but most of the palace guards are in his hands, as long as the situation is forcibly controlled, Wang Yanling and the Empress Dowager will not be able to set off a storm.
Although he was still a little skeptical of the so-called edict, Wang Yanling came prepared, and he must not let it go.
As for the thoughts of the ministers, he couldn't take too much care of them.
With Pan Renmei's loud shout, more than 100 wolf-like guards immediately broke into the hall and surrounded the ministers in the palace.
Seeing this, Pan Renmei's face was slightly relaxed, and she was about to urge the soldiers to take down Wang Yanling and Empress Dowager Liu, but she saw Wang Yanling waving her sleeves at the young general and said:
"General Xianzong, this is the time for Kuang Fu Sheji, and quickly capture the rebels."
Seeing that the young general gave up his hand and walked towards him with a knife, Pan Renmei's face couldn't help but change greatly, and she raised her wat and scolded:
"Wang Xianzong, do you dare to turn your back on the Lord and join the enemy?"
That Wang Xianzong is the second son of Qinsubo Wang Deyong, the Wang family has followed Pan Renmei since the first generation of Qinsubo was alive, and he is his hardcore subordinate, and he has never treated the Wang family badly, and he trusts him.
Otherwise, even if Wang Xianzong's martial arts are outstanding, it is difficult for him to have the opportunity to serve as the foreman of the Zichen Palace's guards.
Pan Renmei never thought that Wang Jiazi would be rebelled by Wang Yanling, which caught him off guard and was completely unprepared.
However, Pan Renmei's reaction was also very fast, he suddenly threw out the wat board, and walked quickly outside the hall after grabbing the road.
Among the palace guards, there were all the generals under the Pan family, and he didn't believe that Wang Yanling could turn all of these people against him.
Wang Xianzong only relied on the trust of the Pan family to make a move on the rotation table of the forbidden army, as long as he ran out of the hall, he could turn things around and regain control of the overall situation.
Seeing this scene, Empress Dowager Pan was already a little numb, and she was shocked and angry, she didn't expect that her father would be so unreliable, and he would drop the chain at a critical time.
Wang Yanling has long lost influence in the army, and most of the forbidden troops in Beijing are under the command of Pan Renmei and Cao Bin's cronies, so they can be stolen by the other party, and she doesn't know how to express her feelings at this time.
But now that the situation was critical, she didn't care about complaining, and hurriedly got up to call her henchmen.
However, Empress Dowager Liu had already prepared, and as soon as she signaled, several eunuchs from Kong Wu stepped forward and restrained Empress Dowager Pan and all the palace attendants around her......
At the same time, Wang Yanling saw that Pan Renmei was about to leave the palace, and suddenly became anxious:
"Xianzong, stop him quickly, otherwise everything will be over!"
"Capture thieves for the country, no need to scruples!"
As Pan Renmei expected, he had already spent a lot of thought on being able to plot against Wang Xianzong, and Pan Renmei was suddenly in trouble and time was in a hurry, so he didn't have too many soldiers.
Now they can force the Pan father and daughter into an embarrassment, completely because of surprise.
Pan Renmei's deep roots in the army are not comparable to him, once the other party is given a chance to breathe, he will never have a chance to eradicate Pan Renmei, let alone turn over.
Therefore, he must not let Pan Renmei go.
When Wang Xianzong heard this, he hurriedly jumped over and stretched out his hand to grab Pan Renmei's shoulder and arm.
Although Pan Renmei had good martial arts when she was young, she was already old after all, and she was pampered all the year round, so where was Wang Xianzong's opponent in terms of strength? was choked by a handful, so I had to shout:
"Wang Xianzong, you ungrateful, the Wang family is disgraced because of you."
He originally wanted Wang Xianzong to retreat in shame, but he didn't expect Wang Xianzong to be even more angry when he heard this, his face distorted, his eyes showed a crazy color, and he roared angrily:
"Old thief, you give me death!"
After speaking, his eyes flashed, and he suddenly swung his knife and slashed it......
Wang Xianzong was already unhappy because of his identity as a concubine, and he was bent on marrying a daughter of a high-ranking family, so that he could improve the court after the separation.
Unexpectedly, not long ago, his father Wang Deyong forced him to marry the daughter of the school under his command, which made him hate him even more.
Wang Yanling saw his knot in his heart and promised to marry his granddaughter before he rebelled against him.
Pan Renmei told Wang Xianzong about the family's reputation, but it stabbed at his pain point and aroused the anger in his heart, and the result can be imagined.
"Daddy......"
Seeing Pan Renmei lying in a pool of blood, Empress Dowager Pan screamed in pain and fainted directly.
Some of the military ministers who supported the Pan family were going to come forward to help, but because they didn't have weapons on them, they were all stopped by the guards, and they watched Pan Renmei being cut down by Wang Xianzong with a knife.
Pan Renmei himself didn't expect that when he was young, he fought in the north and south, and he was in the court after the twilight of the year.
At this time, the entire hall fell silent.
Everyone looked at Wang Xianzong in disbelief, and only felt that it was like in a dream, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, it was the first time that an important minister of the court was killed in the court.
Even the emperor had never done such a thing.
The last time he was a murderer in the court, it was Cao Bin's rebellion, but Zhang Wen was a middle-level military attaché, and he offended Cao Bin first, so no one took him seriously.
But Pan Renmei is the head of the court, the head of the Privy Council, and belongs to the chief minister, but Wang Xianzong said that he would kill him, and even Wang Yanling didn't expect it.
Just when the ministers were silent, the Empress Dowager Liu said casually:
"The usurper deserves to be punished, Wang Xianzong has done a good job, and ordered you to temporarily take charge of the official affairs of the imperial city and protect the palace!"
As she spoke, she issued another edict one after another:
"Spread the will of the palace, and order Liu Meiquan, Marquis of Gaole, to serve as the commander of the front division of the palace, and quickly go to the palace marshal's mansion to collect the seal of Wang De with the ......"
For the officials of the DPRK and China, Empress Dowager Liu did not immediately change her course, but replaced all the palace guards, and appointed her "brother" Gao Lehou Liu Mei as the commander of the palace department.
Without waiting for the opposition of the ministers, she reappointed Wang Yanling as the prime minister of the political affairs hall, and added Pingzhang to the important position of military affairs.
This position has gone beyond the fact that since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the prime minister has directly given Wang Yanling the right to participate in various military and political affairs.
Hearing this appointment, even Kou Zhun and Bao Zheng were a little stunned, and they were also shocked by the series of actions of Wang Yanling and Empress Dowager Liu.
The two of them were still worried about the court and ran for Wang Yanling, but they didn't expect Wang Yanling to hide so deeply, and even they deceived them.
They even had some suspicions that Wang Yanling deliberately showed weakness to the enemy, framed Pan Renmei, and put him in danger, and then justifiably caught his crime and eradicated it.
Now that Empress Dowager Liu is in charge of the army, and Wang Yanling is ruling the country, it seems that they have already been discussed.
Bao Zheng frowned, and was about to go out of class to object, but was quietly stopped by Kou Zhun, although Wang Yanling did a little too much, but overall it was good.
At least he sabotaged Pan Renmei's plan to take charge of the court alone and eradicated the trouble of his relatives.
As for the bad impact of Pan Renmei's death in the court, it is not the most important thing at the moment.
Now that the court has changed suddenly and the people's hearts are unstable, he doesn't want to add chaos to the chaos, and if he wants to make a statement, he must at least wait for the situation to stabilize......
Where the third division was located, Wang Anshi glanced at Zhang Dan, and saw that he shook his head slightly, so he relaxed slightly.
He had discussed the principles of governance with Cao Bin in detail, and knew that his series of behaviors such as reforming the financial endowment of Jiangnan and rectifying the salt affairs in Huaidong were all preparations for comprehensive reform and the attack on Liao.
So he was a little worried that the coup d'état of Wang Yanling and others would undermine Cao Bin's painstaking plan.
But he didn't know that although Zhang Dian was entrusted with a lot of matters by Cao Bin, he was also caught off guard.
He didn't expect that Wang Yanling would unite with the Empress Dowager and kill Pan Renmei by the will of the first emperor, acting so carefully and ruthlessly.
However, the other party did not subvert the core strength of his side for the time being, and Zhang Dian did not dare to make his own decisions, and everything had to wait for Cao Bin to return to Beijing to make plans......
Of course, Wang Yanling doesn't know what everyone thinks.
He saw that after the Empress Dowager Liu announced the appointment, no important ministers spoke out to resist, and he immediately relieved his heart, and then he was full of joy.
Although there are many troubles in today's actions, as long as you win the game, there is time to slowly sort out and rectify.
Now that Pan Renmei is dead, the Empress Dowager Pan will also be disposed of by the Empress Dowager, the rest of the Pan family has no leader, and it is impossible to become a climate, and the top priority is to weaken Cao Bin as soon as possible.
It is best to strip all the soldiers and wealth in his hands before he returns to Beijing.
And he has long been jealous of Jiangnan City's Bo Si, Cao Bin also asked them to withhold 30% of the tax every year into what kind of "government-run research institute" to build, if they are all arranged by the political hall, how many practical things can be done for the court and the people......
