Volume 2 Kyoto Wind and Cloud Chapter 586 Emperor Collapse
Back in the capital, when Liu Han and Fan Lingfeng led their troops from Sunan to Sudong, Huang Zhang just calmed everything in Beijing.
The pacification of all things does not mean that the imperial court has been pacified.
At the first juncture of early summer, the emperor, who was gradually improving his health, occasionally felt a cold because of the change of seasons.
For a person who has almost walked through the ghost gate, a small wind chill is enough to kill him.
At this time, the emperor himself had to be blamed.
Empress Wen Wan died on the day of the summer solstice, and as the queen's death day, the emperor naturally had to pay homage.
This worship, as soon as the wind blows, the body will completely collapse.
When the imperial physician saw the emperor's body, he had to shake his head.
This time, they didn't say that time was running out like they did last time, they really couldn't save it.
When Xiao Wu saw the emperor's appearance, he cried a lot.
It's incomprehensible that people who are all happy have to do it.
Gonggong Hong notified Huang Zhang as soon as possible.
At this time, if Your Majesty really has something, maintaining stability must be the first priority.
At that time, Huang Zhang was having dinner with Song Yi.
Huang Zhang and Song Yi had dinner, mainly to thank Song Yi for leading the troops to rescue him.
Although the main force to save people was Shui Yu, Song Yi also made a contribution.
Song Yi's contribution also represents the contribution of the Kyoto Song family behind him.
The Song family has been very low-key over the years, and almost all the children in the family have served at the border gates.
Originally, the head of the family, Song Sheng, was an official in the court, but when he got older, he asked for his bones and retired.
Song Sheng retired, and the Song family naturally lost its influence in the court.
This is also the reason why Huang Zhang has been in the capital for so long and has seen the Song family for the first time.
Places like the city defense camp are not for the Song family.
Song Yi was naturally willing to befriend Huang Zhang, after all, in his opinion, Huang Zhang was probably the emperor of the country in the future.
Being able to get the favor of the future emperor of Suguo will be beneficial and harmless to the Song family.
But Song Yi may not know that he regards Huang Zhang as a nobleman, but Huang Zhang regards him as a potential enemy.
Others may just think that the Song family is low-key and unassuming, but in Huang Zhang's opinion, your Song family is known as the four major families in the capital, and it is also the only one of the four major families that has anything to do with military power, which in itself is already a deterrent, don't look low-key, but the more low-key, the more dangerous it is!
Take this coup d'état between Korea and China as an example, don't look at Liang Qian's hot work, it seems that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have to submit to his obscenity.
But Huang Zhang only controlled the power of the army slightly, and turned the situation around in an instant.
Liang Qian thought that he controlled the three major forces in Beijing, the Beijing Army, the City Defense Battalion, and the Forbidden Army, but in fact, he did not control any of them.
Xin Zhuo, the most elite general of the Beijing army, and the most elite troops were under Huang Zhang's control, and Huang Zhang went to Zhongping County to win over the people of the Beijing army.
At that time, the object of Huang Zhang's wooing was Suo Yan, and for insurance, Huang Zhang also wooed Xin Zhuo, who had no background.
Now it seems that he was right about insurance at the time.
Otherwise, just one Jing army would be enough for him to choke.
Needless to say, the city defense battalion.
Outsiders seem to be indestructible, and the ironclad city defense camp is vulnerable in Huang Zhang's eyes, otherwise how could a long-time girl find a person who has just taken office and Xuan Yu can control the city defense camp not long ago? It was a place of right and wrong, and only Qi Bin would naively think that he could control the city defense camp.
Finally, there is the forbidden army, due to Gong Bin's iron-fisted methods in the forbidden army for many years, plus Gong Bin's prestige in the forbidden army.
Therefore, Liang Qian can only control a small part of the forbidden army at most, that is, the part of the forbidden army controlled by Gao Yan himself.
It is both easy and difficult to seize power in the forbidden army.
The simplicity is that you only need to kill the palace guest, but the difficulty is difficult, and it will take a long time to become the next palace guest.
So as soon as Gong Bin died, the forbidden army immediately began to be chaotic. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for Cen Shang to run rampant in the Fengtian Hall with his own lineage forbidden army.
It was precisely because of the absence of a leading commander that the other forbidden armies were a little confused for a while, and Gao Yi also knew that he could not command, and he was also confused, so he was caught by Huang Zhang and Cen Shang when they found a chance!
Liang Qian seems to have mastered three troops before the coup, but in fact, the only ones he can rely on are those private troops led by Liang Zhi.
But after all, it was a private army, and after encountering Shui Yu's heavily armored iron cavalry, its combat effectiveness immediately collapsed.
This seemingly thrilling coup d'état was easily dissolved by Huang Zhang.
What is the key to how easy it is for Huang Zhang?
That's right! It's the power of war!
Now that the Song family really has the power of the army, how can this not make Huang Zhang wary of them?
Just when Huang Zhang was talking to Song Yi to learn about the situation of his Song family, someone from the palace said that His Majesty was seriously ill.
Hearing the news that the emperor was seriously ill, Huang Zhang was not verbose and immediately rushed to the palace.
When Huang Zhang arrived, the emperor was breathing a sigh of relief.
It can be seen that he is waiting for Huang Zhang to arrive!
Seeing Huang Zhang's arrival, the emperor smiled and smiled happily.
Huang Zhangyi grabbed the old emperor's hand.
His hands were icy, as cold as a dead man.
The vitality was rapidly draining from his body, and he was like an old man in his last years, with no longing left in his eyes, only slow joy.
Perhaps, when he was dying, he did not fail to live up to his responsibilities to this empire and his emperor, and he could go down to Jiuquan and face his ancestors and ancestors with peace of mind.
The emperor wanted to speak, but he just opened his mouth and couldn't speak.
"Father, children understand. I will definitely govern this country well and not let it repeat the mistakes of the past! ”
Huang Zhang nodded, with a resolute face.
Although this emperor is indeed a little mediocre sometimes, he still has nothing to say to himself, and seeing the old emperor like this, Huang Zhang is somewhat touched.
However, after hearing Huang Zhang's words, the old emperor shook his head!
Seeing the emperor shaking his head, Huang Zhang was a little puzzled.
"Please rest assured, I will let the people be healthy, so that the country will no longer be affected by war and famine, and the people will live a prosperous life!" Huang Zhang continued.
This was Huang Zhang's promise to the emperor before, and now, he said this promise again!
Unexpectedly, hearing Huang Zhang's words, the old emperor was even a little excited, he wanted to sit up, but his physical strength no longer allowed it.
When Xiao Wu saw it, he immediately reassured: "It doesn't matter to my father, listen to my eldest brother slowly!" ”
At this time, the emperor suddenly grabbed Xiao Wu's hand.
Seeing the emperor holding his hand, Xiao Wu was a little strange!
But then, with the last bit of strength, the emperor put Xiao Wu's hand on Huang Zhang's hand!
The implication of his action is self-evident.
At this moment, his eyes suddenly burst with brilliance.
It seems that the last thing in life has been explained clearly.
A smile appeared on the corner of the emperor's mouth, and then, his hand hung limply!
