Chapter 293: Sit back and relax
As soon as he settled down in the palace of the imperial tomb, Haoxing Xiaoqi received a secret report that the soldiers of the Yan family had taken control of the gates of the capital and were attacking the palace.
His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help but have a slight sneer on his face.
The prophecy on the pillar of the protector god is indeed not wrong at all, and his eldest son is not the choice to inherit the Dayu Jiangshan Sheji at all!
King Akihito is not only short-sighted, but also eager for quick success.
As soon as he threw him a bait, he swallowed it without thinking.
In this way, he gave him enough time to commit rebellion, so that this rebel would expose all the men and horses in his hands, and automatically send them to the forbidden army and the guards and pro-army, and be wiped out together.
From now on, there will be no Yan clan in Dayu!
If Zheng Yong's old slave is able to do a good job, this time he can get rid of Zuo Xiang's father and son together, so that Prince Ding Haoxing Xiaoyu loses his minions, then his two henchmen will be completely solved, and he will be able to sit back and relax.
Prince Dingββ
Since the real one is no longer a threat, what about the fake one?
Originally, there was no need to bring this supposed prince to the imperial tomb this time, but Hao Xingxiao thought about it again and again, but he still ordered him to accompany him.
The reason why he did this was mainly influenced by Zheng Yong's heart-wrenching arguments.
Zheng Yong's old slave was suspicious and suspicious, and he even suspected that the Song father and son intended to rebel.
However, speaking of which, he, the person in charge of the Ouchi secret agent who could hear all the secret information in the whole world, could not come up with any solid evidence to prove any rebellion of the Song father and son, and what he said over and over again was all speculation.
Although Haoxing Xiaoqi felt that what Zheng Yong said was pure nonsense, he still had some doubts in his heart that had always been suspicious and jealous.
Therefore, he decided to bring the fake prince Li Jin to the imperial mausoleum, just in case.
If the Song father and son really colluded with Zuo Xiang's father and son as Zheng Yong said, then once he learned that the Prime Minister's Mansion was attacked, Song Xingye would definitely not stand idly by.
And if there is Song Xingye to protect him, only the fifty internal guards under Zheng Yong will definitely not be able to help Zuo Xiang's father and son.
Then in the end, if you want to get rid of the father and son of Zuo Xiang, you have to use the original strategy, pointing out that he is rebelling against Prince Ding.
At that time, the role of this fake prince Li Jin became crucial.
Therefore, he must not be left in the capital this time, lest he be caught by King Ji's people, or simply be eliminated by Zuo Xiang's father and son.
As for the fact that the Song father and son will take advantage of the opportunity of holding military power to rebel this time, Haoxing Xiaoqi is not worried.
First of all, the five thousand guards in Song Xingye's hands were all elite henchmen brought out by Zhu Mo, the commander of the guards. This time, they only temporarily obeyed Song Xingye's orders to guard the palace, and they would never be bewitched by anyone, and then they had the heart of betraying His Majesty the Emperor who they swore allegiance to the death.
In addition, the 100,000 forbidden troops in Song Qingfeng's hands are really not a threat.
Song Qingfeng has only been in command of the forbidden army for only two months, and his foundation is not stable, and it is simply a fool's dream to incite his subordinates to follow him to rebel.
Moreover, at present, the father and son both have their own opponents.
5,000 guards and soldiers against 3,000 Yan soldiers, although it is a victory, it is impossible to lose nothing. As the saying goes, "Wound a thousand enemies and lose 800 yourself", in the end, the remaining soldiers in Song Xingye's hands are probably only about half.
And Song Qingfeng's 100,000 forbidden army against the 100,000 Eastern Navy of Yan Jiwu, Marquis of Shangdongping, the situation is even more unoptimistic. After the total annihilation of the Eastern Navy, it is really difficult to say how many of the 100,000 forbidden troops will remain!
And when they were both defeated, he, His Majesty the Emperor, still had 5,000 guards led by Zhu Mo in his hands. Although there are a few, all of them are elite soldiers and have extremely strong combat power.
It is precisely because he has considered all the possible variables clearly and has a grasp of how to deal with them that Haoxing Xiaoqi will come to the imperial tomb so confidently, ready to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, waiting for those rebellious people to show their true colors.
But if it turns out in the end, the Song father and son are indeed loyal and successfully put down the rebellion for the emperor. Moreover, Zheng Yong also lived up to his holy hopes and killed Zuo Xiang's father and son in chaos.
So at that time, the fake prince Li Jin will completely lose the value of existence, but what should be done with him?
Now that the father and son of Zuo Xiang have been removed, there is really no need to charge them with rebellion, so that people in the world feel that everyone wants to rebel against him, His Majesty the Emperor.
And the fake prince Li Jin, as an insider of this attempted conspiracy, has become a confidant.
After frowning and thinking for a moment, Haoxing Xiaoqi instructed the inner supervisor beside him to go to Xuanding Prince to come to see him.
Haoxing Mingrui, the fake prince, arrived soon, and after kneeling down to salute, he looked at His Majesty the Emperor on the dragon chair with a slightly nervous gaze.
Haoxing Xiaoqi naturally guessed why this fake prince was uneasy in his heart, and couldn't help but say softly: "You don't have to worry about tomorrow's sacrifice, I have my own arrangements." β
Seeing that the emperor was so gentle and comforting, Haoxing Mingrui suddenly showed a flattered look, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Brother Emperor Xie! Brother Xie is really worried that he doesn't understand the rituals of sacrifice, and he is afraid that he will make some mistakes. β
Haoxing Xiaoqi let out a light "um", and then asked casually: "The people who came to the imperial tomb with you this time are all those people I sent to protect you?"
"Indeed, those are the people. β
Haoxing Mingrui replied respectfully: "Gonggong Zheng has already explained early in the morning, and asked his younger brother to bring all the guards in the palace who are protecting me. It's just that after arriving here, the younger brother stayed by the imperial brother's side all day long, and he really didn't need the protection of those people, so he sent them all to live with the guards and troops led by Zhu. β
Haoxing Xiaoqi nodded slightly, "That's very good." I just don't worry about leaving you alone in Beijing, so as not to let the father and son of the left minister take the opportunity to harm you. β
Haoxing Mingrui suddenly showed a sudden expression, and couldn't help but say gratefully: "Brother Chen has thanked the imperial brother for his heart of fist protection!"
Immediately, he seemed to think of something, and asked tentatively: "When the courtiers saw that Gonggong Zheng did not come with the car, could it be that he stayed in Beijing to monitor the movements of the father and son of the Zuo Xiang?"
Haoxing Xiaoqi's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said lightly: "There have indeed been many changes in Zuo Xiang recently, but it is not enough to stir up much turmoil. What I'm worried about is King Ji!"
"King Ji?"
Haoxing Mingrui looked at the emperor with some surprise, "King Ji has been imprisoned by the imperial brother for many days, is he still unrepentant and undead?"
"I have just received a secret report, and at this moment, the soldiers of the Yan family in the capital have begun to make trouble. This time, they want to take advantage of my absence in the capital to support King Ji and seek power and usurp the throne!"
"These ββ, these rebels and thieves!"
Although Haoxing Mingrui was scolding on his lips, his face couldn't help but show a little panic, "Then what can you, Brother Huang, do for you, Brother ββ, Minister, for Brother Huang?"
Hao Xing Xiaoqi couldn't help but be very satisfied when he saw this fake prince so quickly, and actually showed him a warm smile and said, "I plan to give you a military talisman and go to Gyeongju to transfer troops to help." β
Hearing this, Haoxing Mingrui blinked his eyes a few times in succession, and asked with some puzzlement: "Gyeongju is far away from here, why didn't the imperial brother adjust the forbidden army stationed in the eastern suburbs to exterminate the traitors in the capital?"
"Do you think King Ji would dare to rebel with just a few thousand Yan clan soldiers?" Haoxing Xiaoqi couldn't help but snort coldly, "He has actually already colluded with Yan Jiwu, the Marquis of Dongping, and at this moment, the 100,000 Eastern Navy should be no more than a hundred miles away from the forbidden army in the eastern suburbs!"
Haoxing Mingrui was suddenly frightened, but he tried his best to control his trembling voice and said: "It's the younger brother who is stupid! The imperial brother is strategizing, where is there a younger brother...... The younger brother will follow the emperor's edict and go to ...... Gyeongju transferred troops. β
Seeing his panicked appearance that was difficult to hide, Haoxing Xiaoqi couldn't help but smile slightly, and said, "You don't need to be afraid, all this is already under my control." When the Gyeongju army arrives, they will definitely wipe out those rebellious ministers and thieves!"
Haoxing Mingrui hurriedly bowed down, and at the same time stretched out his hands and took the talisman from the emperor's hand.
Haoxing Xiaoqi solemnly instructed: "Remember, you must do it very secretly when you go to Gyeongju to transfer troops this time, and you can't say that you know about it with others." lest the enemy's spies find out and ruin my plan!"
Haoxing Mingrui hurriedly said yes again and again, and went out to gather the guards who came with him, and hurriedly set off.
As soon as Haoxing Mingrui left, Haoxing Xiaoqi's face couldn't help but have a faint smile.
Those Ouchi guards who followed this fake prince Li Jin to transfer troops had already been ordered by His Majesty the Emperor, and they would look for an opportunity to deal with this so-called Prince Ding depending on the situation.
Before they arrived in Gyeongju, they received instructions from the flying pigeons. Then they will immediately proceed and secretly execute Prince Ding, and then disguise him as an attack and death. As for the murderer who attacked Prince Ding, it can be said that he is the person of King Ji.
If you don't receive any news on the way to Gyeongju, then as soon as you arrive in Gyeongju, those Ouchi guards will immediately take down Prince Ding. The crime is that Prince Jeong wanted to use a fake military talisman to mobilize the Gyeongju army and commit rebellion.
Subsequently, the Prince Ding, who intended to rebel, would be escorted to Beijing, and after a strict interrogation, all the accomplices involved in the rebellion would be confessed......
At the thought that another henchman was about to be removed, Haoxing Xiaoqi's heart couldn't help but feel a burst of joy and pride.
After this incident, all the scourges that can threaten his imperial power will be solved, and he can rest easy.
With this sense of pride, His Majesty the Emperor, who was all relaxed, began to doze off on the dragon chair.
Before he had finished one of his sleeps, he was disturbed by a sudden noise.
He opened his eyes in a bit of a daze, only to see Zhu Mo hurriedly striding into the hall.
When the commander of the guards came to him, he didn't even have time to see him, so he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the imperial tomb has been surrounded!"
