Since ancient times, the army has been a strong guarantee for the superior to maintain his rule, no matter which emperor ascends the throne, if he wants to completely control the empire and control the government, the army must be in his hands. The Celestial Dragon Empire was founded by force, and each emperor had an unusual sensitivity to military power. As soon as Cao Chun died, the person who could control Jin Wuwei and the dragoon army was the one who could control the palace, Zhang Rang did not expect that his henchman Zhao Gao would take the opportunity to seize power before he fell ill, and he even planned to give Zhao Gao an order to let him assist the descendants of the Zhang family to take over his inheritance, he who had been resting in the palace, he didn't even know what was happening outside the palace, especially after Zhao Gao and Wei Zhongxian joined forces, he didn't know anything about Shijie outside.

The Seventh Guards Legion locked all the gates inside and outside the palace, and the camps of the Golden Guards and Dragoons were also crowded. Zhao Gaokong controlled Jin Wuwei and the dragoon army through Cao Chun's henchman Cao Anming, but there was no way to control the whole army. Cao Anming raised the butcher knife in his hand against Cao Chun's henchmen without hesitation for his future, Cao Chun's henchmen never thought that Cao Chun's biggest henchman Cao Anming would rebel. Under Cao Anming's series of set-ups, all the generals in the army who were loyal to Cao Chun were killed, and even their personal guards were not spared. Cao Anming's henchmen immediately took over the whole army, although the soldiers in the army had doubts, in the face of the bloody heads, plus there was no general to take the lead, all the soldiers acquiesced to this inexplicable mutiny.

Zhang Bai and Yin Chengfeng hurried to the palace through the line of the net, they must see Zhang Rang, and the current situation can only be controlled by Zhang Rang. Zhao Gao and Wei Zhongxian used Zhao Gao's trust to develop their own shili. In any case, the two of them are attached to Zhang Rang's wings to survive. As long as Zhang Rang can give the order to deprive the two of them of their power. They will be able to easily move back to the disadvantages of the two.

The celebrant was standing there quietly, and the whole celebrant was so quiet that he could even hear the sound of breathing. The sharp soldiers of the Rui Shi camp looked around vigilantly, pressing one hand on the long knife at his waist, Zhao Gao sat on the top and drank the tea in the cup, and the two little eunuchs around him kept reporting the information to Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao's eyes were sharp, although he controlled the Jin Wuwei and the Dragoons, after all, there were still eight guards legions out of control. Even if Bai Qi was able to control three of the legions, the other five legions would be a destabilizing factor.

A middle-aged military general, fully armed, walked in briskly under the leadership of a little eunuch, and the traces of the battle in the celebrant were still clearly visible. When the general saw Zhao Gao sitting on the top, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "The last general, the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, Xu Yao knocked to see Zhao Gonggong." ”

Zhao Gao waved his hand, and the two little eunuchs around him immediately retreated, the 200,000 horses of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division are now a powerful army in the imperial capital, and there are tens of millions of troops of the Eight Great Imperial Merchants in addition to the Tiger Prison Pass, and now Zhao Gao must find all the troops that can be used, otherwise the army outside the Tiger Prison Pass can only be used by the King of Qin himself can only escape with the army in a hurry. The time is very tight, and the timing chosen by Zhao Gao and Wei Zhongxian is also very good, and now none of the principals of the eight imperial merchants are in the imperial capital. As long as the two of them move fast enough, they will be able to stabilize the form of the imperial capital before the Eight Great Imperial Merchants return. The Eight Great Imperial Merchants could only choose to compromise, after all, their control of the palace now was equivalent to dragging a big burden, and now the war between them and the Shenwu Army had not yet reached the end of the end. Moreover, their purpose and style are not suitable for bringing an emperor at all.

"General Xu, you know everything tonight. Are you ready for the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses?" Zhao Gao's voice was shrill but full of killing intent, and when he heard Xu Yao, who was bowing there, a trace of fear suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.

"Father-in-law Zhao, the last general knows everything. Please rest assured, the soldiers and horses of the five cities have been prepared, just waiting for the father-in-law to give an order, and all those generals who dare to oppose the father-in-law will definitely take them down!" said to Zhao Gao with confidence, the 200,000 horses of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division have already controlled all the dangerous positions in the imperial capital, and the army that Wei Zhongxian can control has occupied all the gates of the imperial capital.

"Very well, you immediately ordered martial law to begin in the whole city, and after half an hour everyone who walked the streets was to be killed. In addition, let your people prepare, tomorrow morning after the dynasty will be a time for a complete reshuffle, you must cooperate with the fans of the East Factory to hold those officials who oppose us, and take control of the imperial capital this morning. A gleam flashed in Zhao Gao's eyes, half an hour should be enough for those officials to discuss a countermeasure, Zhao Gao's calculation time is very good, if those officials still can't understand their situation in half an hour, or they still haven't made a choice, Zhao Gao doesn't mind giving them a ride.

"The last general understands, the last general will leave!" Xu Yao's mind was heavy, and he said to Zhao Gao heavily, and Zhao Gao nodded. Xu Yao hurriedly walked out of the palace, and soon the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, who had been assembled on standby, drove out of the barracks and began martial law in the whole city. The officials who can stay in the imperial capital as officials are naturally smart people, as soon as the soldiers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division opened the barracks, those old fritters immediately understood what to do, and for a while there were many soft sedan chairs and war horses of officials on the streets, they were all testing each other's tone first, and they knew that tomorrow's morning dynasty would be the moment to decide their fate.

"Godfather, Zhang Bai and Yin Chengfeng have already entered the Fushou Palace, should we wait for them to come out and kill them?" An Dehai was also excited, the tide rose and the boat rose, after tonight, Zhao Gao is likely to become the first person in the palace, although there is still a Wei Zhongxian outside, but there is still a big gap between Wei Zhongxian and Zhao Gao after all. On top of the influence on the court, Zhao Gao threw Wei Zhongxian a few streets away. Zhao Gao became the first person in the palace, and his status as An Dehai also wanted to be promoted accordingly, maybe he An Dehai didn't need to stay up for decades, just like his godfather, he climbed to this important position at a young age.

Zhao Gao blew the teacup in his hand and smiled: "No need." Killing them now will not be good for tomorrow's early dynasty. There are still many diehards of Zhang Rang in the DPRK and China. They are now all attached to the door of Zhang Bai and Yin Chengfeng. Killing them will not benefit us, but we will benefit more from not killing them. ”

"What did Godfather say about the two generals, Bai Qi and Zhang Wuji?" An Dehai's mind was lively, and he keenly noticed something from Zhao Gao's words, and after careful calculation, the biggest trump cards that Zhang Bai and Yin Chengfeng can show are the Haojie Army and the Guards, but An Dehai knows that Bai Qi and Zhang Wuji are people on the same front as Zhao Gao, if Zhang Bai and Yin Chengfeng want to move back to the disadvantage in front of them, it is impossible for them to use the sword of the army. And Bai Qi and Zhang Wuji are the most reused by Zhang Rang.

"Godfather, I'll arrange it, and I must let Zhang Rang personally tell them how to crack it. "An Dehai was able to climb to today's position among the many little eunuchs, and his real ability is naturally not small, otherwise how could Zhao Gao accept him as his godson. An Dehai guessed what he was going to do next as soon as he saw the expression on Zhao Gao's face, the greater the movements of Zhang Bai and Yin Chengfeng, the greater their benefits in it, An Dehai hurriedly walked down, when Zhang Bai and Yin Chengfeng walked to the door of Fushou Palace, An Dehai also made Zhang Rang sober.

Fukujuden. In the dim light, the faces of the three people in front of the hospital bed were unusually ugly. Zhang Rang didn't expect his henchmen to be such a person. This time, Zhang Rang did not choose to leave the palace, but recuperated in the palace, but he was not reluctant to give up the rights in his hands, but wanted to sit in the palace and prepare for his successor to inherit this position, but he never thought that his actions were the way of the other party.

Under the dim light, the three of them were constantly discussing what countermeasures, but Zhang Rang's body, which was sitting on his hands, was extremely weak, and he often fell asleep while talking. Zhang Bai and Yin Chengfeng really wanted to take Zhang Rang out of the palace, both of them were smart people, so it was not easy to do this. Not to mention that Zhao Gao had just carried out a coup d'état tonight, let's just say that the two attacked tonight and discovered that Shili, who had unknowingly caught the net, was squeezed by Black Ice Terrace and Dongchang in the palace, and even there was a serious crisis of survival.

Late at night, the door of Fushou Hall finally opened quietly at one time, and Zhang Bai and Yin Chengfeng, who got what they wanted, left the palace again in the dark night. The palace fell into an unusual silence again, and the silence was a little terrible. The entire Imperial Kyoto fell into an abnormal silence, the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities Terracotta Division were under martial law with all their might, and there was no longer a single active figure on the road to the Imperial Palace, and the officials were all waiting, waiting for tomorrow's shili reshuffle.

Zhang Bai and Yin Chengfeng were also waiting for the soldiers and horses to control the soldiers, the gate of the imperial capital was locked, and these generals looked at the fierce battle in the palace but did not know what was going on. Their spies couldn't even enter the gate of the imperial capital, and the army had already assembled, just waiting for an order from above to enter the palace and enter the Qingjun side. As soon as Zhang Bai and Yin Chengfeng came out of the Fushou Palace, they began to take over the soldiers and horses they could control, and sent their henchmen to Qingzhou to transfer back the men and horses of the three legions that were transferred by Zhao Gao. Qingzhou's soldiers and horses are not suitable for mobilization for the time being, but the guards and their Zhang family's private army should also give full play to their minions at this time.

The imperial capital, like this stagnant water that has been silent for a long time, finally moved this time, Zhao Gao seized power, Wei Zhongxian cleaned up the officials of the court, and the two rivals suddenly joined forces to catch the officials in the imperial capital off guard. All the officials waited quietly for the next morning, knowing that they should come. Some people are happy and some are worried, and the joy is naturally those officials who have taken refuge in Wei Zhongxian or Zhao Gao, and the sorrow is naturally those Zhang Rang's henchmen, especially when Shangshu of the Criminal Department died in the prison of Dongchang, which brought a huge burden to their psychology. There is also a group of people who are neither happy nor worried, that is, the two kings of Pingnan and Pingbei, as well as a series of generals who have lost their military power. In their opinion, this is all a dog-eat-dog between eunuchs, there is no need for them to participate at all, the reason why they are still in the imperial capital is that they are trying their best to maintain those princes and nobles who have not been able to escape from the imperial capital in time, waiting for the Shenwu army to capture the imperial capital.

When the sun shone on the earth in the early dynasty, the gate of the imperial palace was already full of officials, and these officials were naturally divided into three factions. One of them is swaggering. Around. The other faction is sad and sorrowful, and they are talking about something quietly with their heads down, which is completely in stark contrast to those officials who discuss the government loudly. However, the princes and nobles all maintained an unusually silent voice, they all stood beside the two kings of Pingnan and Pingbei, standing there coldly watching the officials of the two factions.

"When the time comes for the early dynasty, the officials of the various ministries will go to court in turn!" a little eunuch shouted loudly, and all the officials stood in order according to their positions, and of course friction was inevitable. The officials all bowed their heads. Behind the little eunuch who led the way, he walked briskly towards the Daming Palace.

Above the court, all the officials stood quietly, no one shouted long live, and they did not bow down. All the people stood there, curiously looking at all this in front of them, Zhao Gao and Wei Zhongxian stood on the left and right sides of the dragon chair. Not to everyone's surprise, today's emperor did not come to the court because he was sick. Zhao Gao's face was still as dark as ever, while Wei Zhongxian's face was dark. I didn't know what this guy was thinking at all, and all the officials were unusually alert when they saw Wei Zhongxian's gaze at him. The name of the East Factory is not blown out.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think you all already know what happened yesterday. General Wei Cao Chun led his troops to trespass into the important place of the ceremonial supervisor, and the conspirator has been killed by our family himself. Zhao Gao's voice was very cold, like a cold wind blowing from the land of extreme ice, penetrating into the bone marrow of every official, especially Zhao Gao's sentence that had been personally killed by our family, this sentence was like a bombshell, hitting everyone's hearts fiercely. They all know Cao Chun's skills very well, Zhao Gao actually shot him and killed him, and looking at Zhao Gao's appearance, there was no sign of injury, when did Zhao Gao's skills reach such a terrifying point?

All the officials lowered their heads, and at this time, the role of the party was revealed, when Zhao Gao joined forces with Wei Zhongxian, although the two of them looked at each other unpleasantly, but after all, there was a size in this palace. And this big one is Zhao Gao, and this small one is Wei Zhongxian. Even if Wei Zhongxian was unconvinced in his heart, he could only endure it at this time, even Jing Ke had spoken, what could he oppose.

"Wei Kaizhi, the servant of the lower official punishment department, has something to play, now the emperor in the court is still young and cannot handle state affairs, Zhang Gonggong has been ill for many days, there is no one in the court, and now the ministers' hearts are panicked. Zheng Shumiao, who is also a criminal official, has died in the prison of Dongchang due to corruption, and now everyone is in danger, and the ministers ask Zhao Gonggong to lead the affairs of the palace!" Wei Kaizhi stood up, and a burst of crackling words fell down, and suddenly the officials in the court found their hearts, and they all knelt down one by one, asking Zhao Gao to lead the affairs of the palace.

Compared with the officials of Zhao Gao and Wei Zhongxian's faction, the officials of Zhang Rang's faction all had gloomy faces, looking at the few officials kneeling above the court, and they were secretly sneering in their hearts. And the ordinary nobles of the Heavenly Dragon Empire also stood there and looked coldly at this farce that was not a farce. Zhao Gao and Wei Zhongxian came out relatively late after all, and they did not infiltrate the officials of the court enough, and there were less than one or two officials in their hands, and these officials were still too few in their opinion, and the few were almost negligible.

Zhao Gao and Wei Zhongxian also looked at all this coldly, all this in the court had long been expected by them, Zhao Gao and Wei Zhongxian did not plan to succeed this time. They were all testing the attitude of the officials under Zhang Rang's command, and Wei Zhongxian's eyes were even more fierce, obviously telling these officials that someone was going to be unlucky. Although the officials under Zhang Rang's command were very scared, they all straightened their waists, and the net had already revealed their bottom last night, and they now have some protection in their hearts.

"Father-in-law, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the court cannot be idle for a day. Now that Emperor Xian is still young, he can't handle the government affairs, and when Gonggong Zhang and he has been ill for a long time, he implores Gonggong Zhao to preside over the government for the sake of the people of the world and the rule of the empire!" Wei Kaizhi has already been released, he knows that Zhao Gao's presiding over the government has become a foregone conclusion, he is not a person who is willing to be satisfied, only by seizing this opportunity he can go to the next level, but the position of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department has always been vacant.

"The ministers implore Gonggong Zhao to take over the government and handle government affairs for the sake of the people of the world and the rule of the empire!"

"If Gonggong Zhao is unwilling to preside over the government, the minister will not be able to kneel for a long time!" Wei Kaizhi has put out all his old faces, and his future wealth and future will be on Zhao Gao's alone. (To be continued......)
