Chapter 95: The Dong Family's Father and Son
Vu Nam Province.
It is the capital of Shanxi Province.
It is also the place where King Yan is governed.
Hundreds of miles to the west of Wunan Mansion, it was the fief of King Lu.
Hundreds of miles to the south is the fief of King Anqing.
Inside the Yanwang Mansion.
The lights are on at the moment.
"Xing Jiarong, you say, what should be done alone?"
King Yan looked at a secret letter in his hand and looked extremely hesitant.
Sitting opposite him was his number one confidant, Lang Zhongling Xing Jiarong.
This is the secret letter that King Yan received yesterday.
From the hand of King Jin.
Probably speaking, let King Yan raise troops.
On the side of the Qing monarch, he disrupted the party.
At the same time, a point is also mentioned in MeSign.
King Lu had already agreed to raise troops, and after the preparation of food, grass and ordnance was completed, he could set off immediately.
And this is also where King Yan is entangled.
King Lu had more soldiers and horses than him.
If he doesn't agree, then how can he be allowed after King Jin and others are completed in the future?
Take 10,000 steps back.
Now that the imperial court's policy of cutting feudal domains is vigorous, can he live comfortably for the rest of his life?
Rebelling against the imperial court, there is still a glimmer of life.
If you don't resist, there is a high probability that you will die without a place to be buried.
King Yan was an indecisive person, and he didn't make up his mind for two days.
"The King."
"This matter depends on the subordinates, and we should start the incident with the King of Jin, but..."
Xing Jiarong, who had a mustache, groaned slightly, and continued, "We now have in our hands, and there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses directly under the control of the king, and the remaining 10,000 soldiers and horses are in the hands of General Dong Zhiqiang. ”
"And Li Zhongcheng, many of our officials are his protégés, I'm afraid there are also difficulties..."
Although Xing Jiarong is a dog-headed military advisor, the problem he said is also the most difficult problem at present.
Dong Zhiqiang is the brother-in-law of King Yan.
is an extremely patriotic young man, like King Yan's father Dong Liang, both father and son are pro-emperors.
In their worldview, the Son of Heaven is the one they need to be loyal to.
Dong Zhiqiang has a good relationship with a group of generals.
At the same time, Dong Zhiqiang is also a student of Zhongcheng Li Ming.
Li Ming is a typical pro-emperor.
Today, many nobles still support the imperial power.
Even if King Yan wants to make trouble now, Li Ming and the Dong family's father and son are the most tricky, and they will definitely not support King Yan's rebellion.
"What Aiqing said is..."King Yan sighed, "My father-in-law and brother-in-law are pedantic people, and Li Ming, an old thing, is also a raccoon dog, but if Lone doesn't follow King Jin to get into trouble, can they let Lone go after they succeed?" ”
"The king, according to the minister's opinion, it's better to..."Xing Jiarong squinted his eyes and said in a low voice, "It's better for the king to put up a Hongmen banquet, let the sword and axe hands ambush on both sides of the hall, and the king smashes the cup as a number, and takes down Li Ming and others in one fell swoop, as for the king's father-in-law..."
"You can put them under house arrest first, and take back the part of the military power in Dong Zhiqiang's hands."
"When this is done, they will surely understand the king's painstaking efforts..."
After that, Dong Zhiqiang stopped talking and quietly waited for King Yan's decision.
This plan is not very clever.
It is a common trick used in ancient times.
I saw King Yan pacing left and right, and in the next moment, he seemed to have made some kind of decision, gritted his teeth and said, "That's it, let's act tomorrow night, and you quickly send someone to send a message to King Lu, saying that Gu decided to start an incident with him, let him help Gu..."
After all, Dong Zhiqiang has 10,000 city guards in his hands.
Just in case, King Yan still decided to ask King Lu to send someone to help.
It's a pity that he forgot the fact that King Lu was even more timid than him.
"No!"
"The minister retired."
Xing Jiarong bowed behind him and retreated.
Night.
Xing Jiarong sent someone to summon King Lu.
And he walked with three or two friends and entered the largest fireworks place in Wunan Province, ready to relax.
Xing Jiarong is a romantic figure, because he is highly used by King Lu and has great power.
On weekdays, he has also been suppressed by Li Ming's party, and today he knows that Li Ming and others will be served in a pot tomorrow, so he naturally wants to celebrate.
"Everyone, let me tell you, after tomorrow, our Wunan Mansion will change the sky..."Xing Jiarong drank a little high, hugged a scantily clad woman left and right, and boasted to his colleagues.
Suddenly, he seemed to feel that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately swallowed the rest of the words back.
A few friends around looked at each other, as if sensing something unusual.
When everyone is done with chic.
A friend of Xing Jiarong's immediately arrived at Dong Liang's house.
"Elder Dong, this news is true, you have to be careful..."
"The old man also expected the news you said, King Yan has indeed been unusual in the past two days..."
"You have done a good job, we must not sit idly by and watch King Yan rebel and put the people in dire straits."
"Everything depends on Dong Lao."
Although this young scholar is a good friend of Xing Jiarong, he also has a warm heart.
Moreover, he has been able to get to this day, and he has also received a lot of help from the Dong family's father and son.
Sometimes, people's values can determine the direction of some things.
After the youth leaves.
Dong Liang, who had gray sideburns, looked at his son Dong Zhiqiang and said, "Qiang'er, tomorrow you have to make full preparations to protect Lord Li Ming, and you must be ready to hold the anti-king hostage!" ”
"Yes, father." Dong Zhiqiang responded, and then said, "Do you want to report this matter to His Royal Highness King Han?" ”
Today, Jin Yiwei has already come.
and secretly met the father and son of the Dong family.
Their father and son also made a guarantee to Jinyiwei that they would not participate in the rebellion with King Yan.
I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
"Let's debrief." Dong Liang thought about it and said bitterly, "Your brother-in-law, you have no ambitions, and you take another wrong step, we must not let him go wrong, right..."
Dong Liang seemed to think of something, looked at his son and said, "You are responsible for the defense of Wunan Mansion, and when His Highness arrives tomorrow, you must keep the news of His Highness's arrival secret." ”
"Okay, kid got it."
Dong Zhiqiang nodded, and immediately left to find the Jinyi guard in the house.
It's not dawn yet.
Guo Tianyi received the latest information.
"Interesting.."
"This father and son of the Dong family are really patriots."
"Reward afterwards."
After Guo Tianyi learned the information of Wunan Mansion, he instructed Cao Dechun, "Pass the order, the army will camp on the spot thirty miles away from Wunan Mansion, and we will enter the city again in the evening." ”
The generals didn't understand what Guo Tianyi meant.
But no one refuted it, and they all did so.
If you do this, you won't startle the snake and let King Yan take the lead in jumping off the wall.
In history, King Yan was dealt with by the father and son of the Dong family.
This credit is naturally given to the Dong family father and son.
During this period, Jin Yiwei was constantly responsible for intelligence transmission on both sides.
When they learned that His Royal Highness the King of Han had camped thirty miles outside the city, the Dong family's father and son had greatly increased their confidence and had made sufficient preparations.
In Wunan City, everything is business as usual.
The people, as usual, had no idea that a coup d'état was going to take place tonight.
At sunset.
The Yanwang Mansion is very lively.
Today, King Yan invited a banquet to hundreds of officials, and most of the officials did not know about it, so they happily went to the banquet.
King Yan invites guests to dinner, who is willing to refuse this kind of thing?
As everyone knows, this is indeed a murderous Hongmen banquet.
