Chapter 173: Uprising
Cai Ying nodded again and again when she heard this.
Seeing this, the prince asked: "Guo Qing, I heard that you have always had the habit of raising dead soldiers, how many people do you have in your hands?" ”
Guo Huan said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, I have a full plan in my hands, and if I gather everyone, there should be about two thousand elites." ”
The prince was pleasantly surprised: "Two thousand? Not bad! Not bad! There were 2,000 of them. ”
Guo Huan said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't lack weapons now, but I lack armor, if we want to succeed, we must also have siege equipment, these are difficult to gather in a short period of time, the first thing I do is to take the arsenal in Qingyang City." ”
Qin Shao shook his head when he heard this, and said: "Yes, if I can serve Cao Huan of Qingyang Order, the possibility of taking the arsenal will be much greater, the arsenal garrison is only five hundred people, we are mobilizing the people of the whole city, selecting the strong from them, distributing weapons and armor, and giving heavy rewards, at least tens of thousands of soldiers can be obtained, and the Taiji Palace is only guarded by a mere three thousand lieutenants, and it will only be an overnight time to take the Taiji Palace." ”
When everyone heard this, they all nodded yes.
Guo Huan said: "My two thousand dead soldiers are all good martial artists, and they regard death as home, if they can get the arsenal armor, they will definitely be like a tiger with wings, and help His Highness take the Taiji Palace to kill the traitors, and I will let the dead soldiers sneak into the city in batches to respond." ”
Liu Yu clapped his hands and said: "Brother Guo is really a brave man, so I think we are at least sixty percent sure." ”
The more everyone discussed, the more they felt that things were promising, and the prince seemed to be full of fighting spirit again, and he didn't expect that he had really reached the threshold of the move, and there were so many hole cards in his hand to play......
At this time, the suppressed emotions in the Taiji Palace have been much easier, Huo Zheng has just finished meeting His Majesty, and now the emperor has come to his senses more and more frequently, and there are still three His Majesty who can really regain consciousness.
Back in the Xuanzheng Yuan, Huo Zheng frowned after reading the report, and sure enough, according to the emperor's intentions, vigorously suppressing the princelings still played a big role, and the activities of the princelings almost disappeared.
Huo Zheng sighed and said to himself: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you have to be patient for a while, as long as Your Majesty is completely sober, I can summon you to come to the palace to pay respect......
The East Palace here seems to be full of murderous atmosphere in the whole palace, Qin Shao came to Qingyang with the prince's letter and coaxed the frame to Qingyang to order Cao Huan, in fact, Cao Huan is also worried about the current situation, Taiji Palace since the water incident, the government and the opposition have been talking about it, and now Taiji Palace has suddenly fallen under martial law in Qingyang City, and the prince's party has been deposed from Beijing, what is the matter with the prince summoning himself at this juncture?
Of course, although the current situation is obscure, Cao Huan also has reason to believe that His Majesty's suppression of the prince's party is just a routine operation, and hasn't he done it many times in the past ten years? It shouldn't be a big deal.
When Cao Huan entered the main hall, he saw the prince sitting in the middle of the main throne, Qin Shao, Liu Yu, Guo Huan and other princelings were in the hall, all wearing armor and serious expressions.
Seeing this, the prince hurriedly got up and grabbed Cao Huan's hand for a while, and before Cao Huan could react, the prince forcibly pressed Cao Huan on the seat.
Cao Huan ran over with 10,000 divine beasts and mud horses in his heart at this time, he was just confused, and he also understood that the prince's party might want to do something, seeing that they were all dressed in armor, this was a big deal, and he didn't know if his whole family would have to explain.
Cao Huan turned his head and glanced at Qin Shao who had deceived him, and there were two prince's cronies on both sides of the seat looking at him with their right hands tightly holding their sword scabbards, if he didn't obey at all, he would immediately die on the spot, he could see that these crazy people just wanted to forcibly pull him into the water.
At this time, the prince presided over the meeting and explained the battle intention in detail, and after seeing that everyone had no disagreement, the prince walked up to him and told him in detail about the cause and effect of the whole incident.
The more Cao Huan listened, the more frightened he became, he really didn't expect that the gang in the Taiji Palace would really abolish the elder and the younger?
Cao Huan's face was gloomy and uncertain, after thinking about it, they were against them, and they had a chicken feather relationship with me? Lao Tzu hasn't lived enough, and he always feels that the prince's party doesn't seem to have much chance of winning, so he quickly stood up and tried to persuade His Royal Highness the prince to stop in time, maybe there is still a possibility of saving.
Cao Huan said: "Your Highness, now that the official has been pulled into the water by you, it is absolutely impossible to completely get rid of it, but the official has the following questions, please solve your doubts, and now it doesn't matter whether Your Majesty is alive or not in the Taiji Palace." ”
"But the Tiger Talisman that dispatched the army is still by Your Majesty's side, if Huo Zheng, the old thief, uses the Tiger Talisman to dispatch the soldiers of the Northern Battalion to rescue him, I'm afraid that even if we gather tens of thousands of rabble, it will be difficult for us to succeed! Moreover, Taiji Palace is only two hours away from the Beiying military camp, and with the time of attacking the city, I am afraid that it will not be enough! ”
Without waiting for the prince to explain, the prince washed his horse and Qin Shao stood up and said, "Lord Cao, whether we can take the Taiji Palace in one fell swoop depends on whether Lord Cao can fully cooperate with us, as long as we cooperate with us to take the Liangcheng Arsenal, the major event can be decided." ”
Cao Huan said: "But there are eight hundred guards in the arsenal, and they don't listen to the orders of the official?" ”
At this time, Guo Huan explained: "Master Cao, you don't have to worry about it, as soon as my dead soldier arrives, taking down these eight hundred old soldiers is like picking up something, as long as you take the arsenal, you will immediately order the blockade of the whole city, don't let anyone go out of the city, you must not let the Taiji Palace get any news in advance, wait for us to mobilize the people, arm the young and strong, and leave the rest to me!" ”
Cao Huan had no choice but to nod yes when he heard this, and looked at the prince's cronies who were staring at him beside him, and there was no way if he didn't agree, if he didn't promise, don't think of going out of this door today!
At this time, there was another person outside the door, only to see his long hair fluttering, his face was thin, his eyes were shining, and he was wearing a plain robe with a sense of dust. But I can't remember.
At this time, Cai Ying stood up, stepped forward with a smile to salute the visitor, and turned to explain to everyone: "His Royal Highness the Prince, colleagues, he is a god who practiced in Yinshan Mountain, Jidong County, and he is very good at divination. ”
Cai Ying said in his heart, the prince didn't believe in these evil ways at all, especially His Majesty favored Zhang Daoling and his ilk to practice what bullshit immortality, the prince was very disgusted with this kind of person, and he couldn't wait to see one kill the other.
Cai Ying originally wanted to find this person privately to find out what the situation of the Emperor of Taiji Palace was, but now that the situation has suddenly changed to the current situation, he has no choice but to change his strategy and introduce him directly to the prince, whether it is useful or not, it is better to give full play to the residual heat.
Anyway, there are many people who are superstitious about metaphysics now, so it's good to let him pretend to be a ghost and boost his morale.
I saw that the man went straight to the point and said: "Poor Dao Wang Shen has followed his master to practice numerology and divination on the mountain since he was a child, and now he is invited by his friend Lord Cai to help His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Although the prince was angry with Cai Ying in advance, he couldn't help but feel disgusted when he saw this so-called wandering Fangshi.
In this situation, I can only treat him politely and let him disappear from his eyes immediately after the performance, and pretend to be polite and let him take a seat.
Liu Yu, like the prince, didn't look down on this kind of monk at all in his heart, so he stepped forward to find out if he had real skills, so he said:
"Oh! Since the immortal chief is proficient in divination, Liu wants to ask the immortal chief about my life deeds. ”
Wang Shen is coming to his birthday, and he will tell Liu Yu's life deeds eight or nine, at first Liu Yu also sneered at Wang Shen, and said in his heart, it may be that Cai Ying gave this Jianghu god a breath in advance, so he didn't take it seriously.
In fact, he could also see that the prince had invited everyone to perform to boost morale and cohesion, and at the end, Wang Shen inexplicably whispered a verse, which made Liu Yu look suspicious.
It is impossible for outsiders to know the events represented behind the poems, not even the crown prince, let alone Cai Ying.
This made Liu Yu can't help but glance at Wang Shen, and when he saw that his eight or nine were not far from ten, he nodded and praised him for sitting down on the apprentice seat, regardless of whether he was real or fake, just cooperate with the prince to do a good job.
Seeing that Wang Shen was so miraculous, everyone stepped forward one after another to let him calculate, and then they all praised Wang Shen's divination skills.
Guo Huan naturally stepped forward to let Wang Shenbu calculate, and after Wang Shenbu calculated, he looked at Guo Huan's face again, and was shocked for a while.
Seeing this, Guo Huan was startled and asked, "What advice does the Immortal Chief have?" ”
Wang Shen stared at Guo Huan and said, "Wonderful! Wonderful! I look at Brother Guo's face is wonderful, it is unspeakably expensive, you are destined to be noble, a very popular minister, and you are the respect of the prince! ”
Everyone present looked at each other, and they had never seen him praise anyone like this for half a while! However, this time the military admonition really has to rely mainly on Guo Huan's 2,000 dead soldiers, and it is not good that Guo Huan can really get the ten thousand households by virtue of this dragon skill.
Guo Huan was overjoyed when he heard this, turned around and bowed to the prince and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you heard it, I, Guo Mou, will be a prince in the future with His Royal Highness, which shows that our action will definitely succeed!" ”
When the prince saw Guo Huan's scorching eyes, he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and he was also very happy in his heart, and said: "Guo Qing, as long as you do things solidly, you will definitely be allowed to be a marquis of ten thousand households after you ascend the throne." ”
Guo Huan was excited and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, in the future, my Guo Mou's life will be His Highness's life, no, it is Your Majesty's life, long live Your Majesty." ”
Everyone was overjoyed when they saw this, and it seemed that it was really possible to achieve great things, and they all stepped forward to bow down and call the prince long live.
As soon as the prince heard this, everyone changed their mouths to call him His Majesty, haha laughed and even three good words!
Seeing that Wang Shen had shocked everyone, and the effect was much better than he expected, the prince really bowed respectfully this time, asked Wang Shen's most critical question, and said:
"Immortal Chief, there is only one question, is Your Majesty still in the world today?"
Wang Shen stroked his beard and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's question is nothing more than asking for peace of mind, although the poor road never determines life and death, but now in this situation, I have to make an exception for His Highness." ”
