Chapter 95: The Rebellion Begins
After about a pillar of incense, Liu Yu finally heard the outside report: "The emperor has arrived!"
Liu Yu immediately knelt at the door to greet him, and waited for the emperor to walk by before getting up.
Not long after, the eunuch came to summon him. Liu Yu straightened his hat and cuffs, and followed the eunuch to the imperial study.
In the imperial study, Kangxi sat on the top expressionlessly, and a glimmer of brilliance flashed in his eyes when he saw Liu Yu. I can't wait for Liu Yu to salute and let her get up.
Kangxi drove out all the eunuchs and palace maids serving in the imperial study, came to Liu Yu and said, "How is it?
"Back to the emperor, the horse master is very well prepared, and the manpower and weapons are sufficient, I believe that there will be a move soon.
Weichen went to the small courtyard in the south of the city to investigate, and found that the second master, who had not heard from him before, was hiding in the princess's mansion, pretending to be a coachman with a horse.
Moreover, there is a secret passage leading to the Qunfang Pavilion in the west of the city in the small courtyard, as well as the former spice shop.
Weichen guessed that the master of the horse might have to flee the capital, so as to facilitate Wu Sangui's trouble.
Also, Wei Chen found a lot of weapons in the spice shop, do you want to bring someone to transport these weapons back?" Liu Yu bowed his head and replied.
"Well, do a good job, let me watch the horse master, don't let him escape. As for the weapons, I will send someone to keep an eye on them, and they will not move for the time being, so as not to startle the snake.
I was about to cut down the feudal domain, and I just issued an order to let the vassal king enter Beijing, but I didn't expect to be opposed by most of the courtiers. Did all these opponents take refuge in Wu Sangui?" Kangxi said angrily.
Liu Yu heard the emperor say that he would cut the domain, and he was also against it in his heart. But she couldn't say it, lest the emperor suspect that she was also bought by Wu Sangui.
Actually, Kangxi knew the danger of cutting the feudal domain at this time, but he couldn't wait. He has been suppressed by Aobai for so many years, and he finally became pro-government, and he wants to make achievements to show the world.
At this time, Wu Sangui jumped out and stretched out his hand to the capital. So, Kangxi took him under the knife, and Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi were all incidental.
It can be imagined that Wu Sangui received the holy decree, I am afraid that he will start an incident in advance. And will unite Geng Jingzhong and Shang Kexi to rebel together.
Seeing that the emperor was angry, Liu Yu swallowed what he originally wanted to say into his stomach.
Anyway, what the emperor asked her to investigate, she found out and reported it. As for how to deal with the horse master, that is the emperor's business.
Kangxi saw that Liu Yu kept his head down and didn't speak, so he asked, "Liu Aiqing, do you also think that I shouldn't cut the domain?"
"Emperor Shengming, King Pingxi is acting too arrogantly, so he should kill his sharp spirit. Weichen was only afraid that Wu Sangui would not dare to enter Beijing. ”
"He dare! Does he dare to resist the decree?" Kangxi replied immediately.
Then I thought that Wu Sangui was in Yunnan, and the emperor was far away. If he really resisted the decree, he couldn't do anything about him as an emperor.
Thinking of this, Kangxi immediately ordered the Imperial Forest Army to surround the princess's mansion, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
With the Imperial Forest Army taking over, Liu Yu got out of this incident and was transferred back to the guardhouse. The two teams in their hands were also taken back.
Not long after, the news of Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, claiming the title of king in Yunnan returned to the capital, causing abuse from the government and the opposition.
And as soon as Kangxi received Wu Sangui as king, he ordered the Imperial Forest Army to go to the princess's mansion to arrest the concubine.
However, when the Imperial Forest Army rushed into the princess's mansion, they pounced and got the news that the princess had left the princess's mansion an hour ago.
The reason for leaving: The princess's birthday is approaching, and the princess wants to give the princess a special gift, so he can only show sincerity when he goes to do it in person.
The princess listened to the coaxing of the concubine, and sent the concubine out of the capital with her own carriage. The princess was very favored and rude, and the royal guards did not dare to stop the princess.
So, the colt left the capital under the cover of the princess. When Kangxi received the news, he angrily lifted the table in the imperial study.
At this time, the princess ignored the eunuch's obstruction, ran to the imperial study and said to Kangxi: "Your Majesty, you have to treat your minions well, and they dare to stop the princess's carriage." ”
Kangxi was already angry because he didn't catch the colt, and now his princess and aunt came to sue him, and the angry Kangxi scolded her.
After scolding, he also ordered her to be grounded in the princess's mansion, and she was not allowed to go out without a holy decree.
When the princess heard this, she asked, "Why, why do you want to forbid my feet?
Kangxi didn't bother to pay attention to her, closed his eyes and asked the guards to drag the princess down. The princess yelled at the guards and kicked and beat the guards who were pulling her.
But no matter how the princess scolded, how she kicked and beaten, she was still dragged away by the guards and imprisoned in the princess's mansion.
thought that because the princess was stupid, she let Wu Sangui's son go, so that he would lose the chips in his hand. If it weren't for the fact that the princess was his aunt, Kangxi would have wanted to go up and slap her twice.
However, if you are angry, you still have to send someone to hunt it down. Kangxi immediately ordered the Admiral of Jiumen to close the city gate, and sent the generals of the Fengtai battalion outside the city to bring a team of archers to capture the horses.
Kangxi had just given the order, and before the Admiral of the Nine Gates closed the city gate, the capital was already in chaos.
It turned out that the concubine used the princess to send him out of the capital, and after he left the capital, Wang Xijun began to command the people in the capital to make trouble. This is to divert the gaze so that the colt can escape.
Unfortunately, he was unlucky. After leaving the city, the horse rode all the way south, but he did not want the horse to fall ill halfway, and fell to the ground after falling to the ground.
The horse was riding on the horse, and for a moment he fell to the ground. At that time, his leg was broken, and he was in pain, and he sat on the ground and couldn't move.
Two days later, when he was found by the pursuers, he was already dying, and the first thing he said when he saw the pursuers was: "Water, give me water." ”
The capture of the horses went well, but the verdict in the capital did not go well.
Wang Xijun's own martial arts are not low, coupled with his flexible brain, his insidious moves one after another, and he lost many horses in the imperial court.
He used the underground passage to hide and seek with the officers and soldiers, and also threatened the officers and soldiers with the surrounding people. In addition to this, he also maliciously ignited fires and dispersed troops.
When the guards chasing them around gradually decreased, Wang Xijun led people to rush towards the palace, and the dark chess in the palace had already handed over to him the duty distribution map of the guards.
Because of Wang Xijun, many guards on the court side were killed by him. It wasn't until he reached the palace gate that he was stopped by Liu Yu.
Liu Yu was originally on duty in the palace, but she didn't know anything about the outside until she was summoned to the court by the emperor.
Now the Admiral of Jiumen is leading troops to quell the rebellion, and the Imperial Forest Army has also been withdrawn to the palace to protect the emperor.
Now that the judgment army has attacked the palace, Kangxi is in a very bad mood, he didn't expect that there would be so many civil and military officials in the court who betrayed the court.
Kangxi knew that he couldn't control his temper for a while, and gave the order to cut the domain, so that Wu Sangui could find an excuse to rebel.
Now that things are out of control, so many civil and military officials have betrayed, except for the Admiral of the Nine Gates, he doesn't know who else to trust?
Kangxi had no choice but to come to Cining Palace to ask the Empress Dowager to make an idea, the Empress Dowager looked at the emperor kneeling on the ground, sighed and said: "Xuan Ye, now is not the time to repent, now is to find a way to break the current predicament." ”
