Chapter 92: The Old Emperor Dies!
After Yuan Wenshao returned to Bianjing, before he could settle his family, he was directly edicted by Zhao Zongquan to enter the palace, and he also met Shen Congxing at the gate of the palace.
Seeing that he was still a little haggard, he opened his mouth to comfort him.
"Brother Shen, you have to cheer up, after all, there are still a few children here~"
"Zhong Xuan, I'm fine!"
The old emperor's health is not as good as day by day, and he is about to go over there, even if Zhao Zongquan has no feelings for this cousin, he has to pretend to be like a filial son and grandson.
In fact, the original emperor's bedroom was Funing Palace, but because of the psychological shadow of the last rebellion, the old emperor changed his place to live.
Zhao Zongquan was very busy, not only to take care of the old emperor, but also to find time to understand the situation of the court and the information of officials, and he slept for no more than two hours every day.
The busy foot hit the back of the head, and even the wife and children were picked up from Yuzhou, and they couldn't even take out the time to talk well.
Yuan Wenshao and Shen Congxing, after entering the palace, were taken to the side hall of Renming Hall by the little eunuch, and sat there and waited for two quarters of an hour before finally seeing Zhao Zongquan's obviously somewhat salesable figure.
"Meet Your Highness!"
"Okay, don't make this false courtesy, find a place to sit yourself~"
Zhao Zongquan was so tired that he didn't have the strength to put on the score, so he flicked his sleeves and sat directly on the ground, took the food from the interior and said while eating.
"I ordered you to enter the palace because of something, now is a special period, everyone is working harder, we must stabilize the current situation!"
"Zhong Huai has gone to the camp in the western suburbs, Xiao Duan is responsible for guarding the palace city, Lao Geng is on duty day and night at the gate of Bianjing, Bo Qin is busy with the affairs of the Imperial City Division, you can't be idle, one of them has to maintain law and order in Beijing, and the rest go to the camp in the eastern suburbs~"
"Let's pick these two places for yourself!"
And Yuan Wenshao's eyes moved when he heard this, as if there was another deep meaning in his words, in terms of distance, he was definitely not as good as his brother-in-law Shen Congxing, so this means that he had no choice.
Immediately decided: "Back to Your Highness, I am a lazy person by nature, and I am not suitable for leading troops outside, or Brother Shen should work more and let him go to the camp in the western suburbs!" ”
"Just before going to Yuzhou, I worked in the Five Cities Terracotta Division for a while, and I am familiar with all matters!"
Zhao Zongquan took care of the old emperor during this time, and it was not in vain, and he also learned some imperial skills when he was sober.
So I am very satisfied with Yuan Wenshao's answer, because although both of them are people they trust, they are also close and estranged.
There are nearly 100,000 troops in the western suburbs, and Gu Tingye has already controlled them, while the 50,000 horses in the eastern suburbs are still safe in the hands of his brother-in-law.
Gobbled up two bites of rice, took a sip of tea after swallowing, and asked Shen Congxing knowingly, "Wen Qian, what is your opinion?" ”
"I can do it all!"
"Okay, there are two armies in the western suburbs, among which the commander of the Wuyi Army is the commander, Your Majesty has promoted General Yongping Bozhao to do it, you will go to the Guoyi Army to do the five things first!"
"Obey~" Shen Congxing bowed and saluted, and his face finally showed some joy.
From a Yuzhou Xiang Army is a nine-rank Yu Marquis, directly to the forbidden army is a five-grade capital, which is equivalent to a seven-level promotion.
"Go and do a good job, don't embarrass us in Yuzhou!"
"Don't worry!"
After Zhao Zongquan arranged his brother-in-law, he got up and came over to take a look around first, making sure that the people outside couldn't hear it.
Then he whispered: "Zhong Xuan, the situation in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is complicated, we are all our own people, and I don't say dark words, then the commander is the protégé of King Yong!" ”
"So there is no way to change it for the time being, I can only wronged you to do a good thing first, there are still remnants of the rebel king in the city, they must be cleared up!"
"Your Highness, don't worry, it may not be possible for me to lead troops to fight, but doing this is my old job, to ensure that during Your Majesty's recuperation, the security in Beijing will be stable and sound!"
After Yuan Wenshao left the palace, he didn't have time to go home, so he went directly to the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division to take office......
A few days passed in a blink of an eye, the old emperor's condition became more and more serious, and there was also an undercurrent surging in Beijing, and Yuan Wenshao's pressure was also very great.
Sitting in the Wucheng Terracotta Division's own official room, he played with a small tiger talisman in his hand.
"Rongbao, how is the situation?"
"Childe, the composition of the personnel in the yamen is particularly complicated, and many of the officials in each department are people who were inserted by King Yong and King Yan, so now everyone is in danger!"
"Bang, bang, bang!" Yuan Wenshao slammed the table suddenly.
It is not surprising for these circumstances, King Yong has been appointed as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion before, which is a position that only the prince can sit, so King Yan will take risks.
The two of them fought almost on their backs, and as the soldiers and horses of the five cities who maintained the security of Bianjing, the two sides were naturally staggered.
The Yanwang family has all fallen, and many people have rebelled together and been killed, and those who remain have been raided and cleaned up.
But King Yong has not been officially canonized, and the whole family has already been clicked by King Yan, so his family is still a little difficult to handle, after all, Lao Zhao is not the emperor yet.
In the past few days, I have been living in the Yamen, forgetting to sleep and eat to understand the situation, the soldiers and horses of the five cities are in command of the envoys, and there is a commander of the four products, one person from the four products of the command, one person from the five products of the command, and two officials from the five products.
The rest also have some institutions such as experience, prison, and judgment, and the chief officials are ranging from the sixth rank to the eighth grade.
This is equivalent to the third-in-command, of course, it belongs to the second in command now, because the commander above is temporarily vacant, and the original one who is attached to Yanwang to make a rebellion has been beheaded by the family searcher, or Yuan Wenshao personally took people there.
As a security agency, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division has 200 cavalry as a mobile force, and the right to mobilize this team is usually in the hands of the commander.
But that person who is King Yong after all, Lao Zhao can't sleep in his hands, so he is temporarily controlled by Yuan Wenshao.
……
The old emperor didn't survive half a month, Yuan Wenshao finally returned home, and he didn't see enough ammunition in the gun for a long time, so he naturally had to indulge.
After doing that, I was sleeping there with my own lady in my arms, and I was tired these days, and I was suddenly promoted to the position of a high-ranking official, and I was still a little uncomfortable.
"Bang bang bang!" A violent knock on the door disturbed Yuan Wenshao's good dream.
I opened my eyes and frowned.
"Who?"
"Childe, someone is in the palace!"
"Brush~" Yuan Wenshao instantly became energetic.
Someone from the palace on this big night must have something serious, comforted Hua Lan, who sat up in a daze, motioned for her to continue sleeping, and walked out with her clothes on.
I was instantly happy when I saw someone coming, because he was not a eunuch, and it was estimated that Lao Zhao didn't trust him very much, so he sent Zhao Mansion's family.
"Hey, it's Shoko~"
"Lord Yuan, Your Majesty has just passed away, Your Highness asked you to maintain law and order in Beijing, and there must be no chaos~"
The housekeeper named Zhao Shun leaned over and reminded him in a whisper.
Yuan Wenshao put away the smile on his face and nodded with a serious face.
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely live up to my mission!"
After the others left, they went back to the house to change their clothes, rode on their horses and led the people straight to the Yamen of the Soldiers and Horses Division in the inner city......
