Zhang Guoyong and Yuan Guohong did their job very thoroughly. Mu Tianbo immediately collapsed on the chair and trembled all over. I don't know if he was angry or frightened. It should be both.
It turned out that the emperor's secret decree was not groundless. It turned out that Sha Dingzhou had already planned to replace him with a human face and a beast's heart. It turned out that he had already planned to cooperate with the inside and outside to take action tonight. If the great eunuch hadn't broken the situation, his family would have been destroyed in Prince Mu's palace, and hundreds of years of foundation would have been lost in the blink of an eye. Destroyed!
Thinking about this, his whole body went cold, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became!
It was late at night, and the six city gates of Kunming City (Kunming is called Turtle City) have two gates in the east and west. The gate in the north is Guwei and the south gate is **. Later, during the National Protection Movement in the late Qing Dynasty, another National Protection Gate was opened in the southeast. ) all changed their defenses again. Mu Tianbo sent his confidants to go on duty, and together with the governor and the third division, ordered a curfew and martial law in the whole city. He sent soldiers and horses to patrol the city door to door to capture Sha Dingzhou's men who had sneaked into the city. He also mobilized a large force to general Mu The palace is under protection and anyone who approaches without reason will be killed without mercy!
At this time, at the foot of Laoma Mountain a few miles northeast of the city, Wan was leading his troops to hide here. He climbed to the top of the mountain and watched the city closely. However, he waited left and right for no signal. The people who were sent to conduct reconnaissance near the North City Gate came back and said , there were officers and soldiers patrolling the city, nothing unusual could be seen, but they didn’t open the door!
Could something have happened? The four powerful generals under Sha Dingzhou and the Wan family gathered together to make various speculations. At the same time, in the palace of Prince Mu in the city, Mu Tianbo's hand holding the tea cup was still trembling uncontrollably. Wu Zhaoyuan and others looked ashen. Zhang Lianying said that he had a dry mouth and had nothing to say, or that he really didn't know much and was just following orders!
He was like a god. Mu Tianbo and others were shocked when they heard that he was acting on the eunuch's orders. In fact, various rumors about Chang Yu had been heard in Yunnan during this period, but many things The legend is so magical that it makes people feel that it is not so real. How can there be such a powerful person in this world? He just comes out at a young age and is sure to win every battle. The court racked his brains to destroy him and still got dragged into the quagmire. Li Zicheng and Qing Gou, who came for a walk when they had nothing to do, were able to beat them one by one and kill whoever they caught!
Who believes it!
Eunuchs like to enjoy great achievements, and it is nothing new to be greedy for credit.
But in front of him, he was actually able to strategize thousands of miles away, foil a huge conspiracy, and save his Mu family.
How did he do that?
Chang Yu is not a god, nor does he have any magic tricks, he is just careful and bold!
The harm caused by Wu Bikui's rebellion was really too great, and because it was more than half a year earlier than in history, there were too many uncertain factors. This made Chang Yu feel uneasy. If he couldn't stop it, the Mu Palace that had been there for hundreds of years would be gone. , Regardless of the quality of Prince Mu's Mansion, if Yunnan loses Prince Mu's Mansion, it will inevitably fall into war, the people will suffer, Zhang Xianzhong will gain, and it will be even harder to deal with him later.
So he wanted to prevent this matter from developing on its original track at all costs, and even took the trouble to cross thousands of mountains and rivers to go to Yunnan to take charge. However, it was so far away that the day lilies were cold by the time he left, so before he left, he had ordered Jinyiwei rushed for eight hundred miles to send several secret orders as quickly as possible at all costs.
One gift was sent to Qin Liangyu, because at this time the governor of Sichuan, Chen Shiqi, had died, and most other places had been captured or recruited by Zhang Xianzhong. There were really few people and soldiers left in Sichuan, so he made a bluff to send troops to attack Sichuan to attract Zhang Xianzhong's attention, leaving him no time to steal. Chicken Yunnan, of course, this secret edict made it clear to Qin Liangyu that it was because the chieftain of Yunnan was rebelling at this time, and the court was worried that Zhang Xianzhong would steal the chicken, so she asked her to restrain him first to buy some time for the court.
Send one to Mu Tianbo, asking him to stabilize Wu Bikui first with peace as the most important thing.
A letter was sent to the governor Wu Zhaoyuan, asking him to supervise Mu Tianbo.
This is double insurance, but facts show that double insurance is not safe either.
but!
Few people know that Chang Yu used three insurances this time!
It’s for the Jin Yiwei in Kunming City!
There were imperial guards everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, especially in Fucheng, where there were the most vassal kings.
Historically, in the late Ming Dynasty, these imperial guards were mostly perfunctory. After all, the upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked. Historically, Wu Mengming only knew how to make money and didn't even have time to harm people, let alone do serious things.
But since Chang Yu came to power, the atmosphere has changed!
Not only has the atmosphere of Dongchang changed, but the Jinyiwei has also changed. After all, Dongchang has the right to use the power of Jinyiwei to do things. For example, Chang Yu often uses it when patrolling the border. Nowadays, no one in the government or the public knows how powerful the eunuch of Dongchang is. Of course Jin Yiwei also knows!
So when Zhang Lianying received Chang Yu's order, he stood up from his chair!
Although this is not an imperial decree, to him it is more sacred than an imperial decree!
Chang Yu's order to him was probably that Sha Dingzhou was suspected of conspiring to rebel, and asked him to collect evidence, especially to keep an eye on Yuan Guohong and Zhang Guoyong under the command of Prince Mu! After Ruosha Dingzhou entered Kunming and discovered that there was a connection between them, he immediately locked up the city! He also told him that if he was short of manpower, he could ask the Ruan brothers for help. When he needed to mobilize troops and horses, if there was any inconvenience, he could directly contact Wu Zhaoyuan and the Third Division. With the military order in hand, they did not dare not to give it. In fact, the signature of Jinyiwei was Damn it, this time Zhang Lianying secretly mobilized troops and just relied on Jin Yiwei's signature.
Zhang Lianying was confused when he first received this order. Yuan and Zhang were generals under Mu Tianbo. Why were they keeping an eye on him? Will Sha Dingzhou come to Kunming? It was obvious that he did not want to join the war. He Why do you need to contact Yuan and Zhang when you are here?
The endless questions drove him crazy, but Zhang Lianying also knew clearly that this might be an opportunity to make a great contribution!
Could it be a trivial matter that the great eunuch personally ordered him to do?
So Zhang Lianying took the idea seriously, summoned his confidants in Kunming City for a secret discussion, and then sent people to sneak into Mengzi to keep an eye on Sha Dingzhou's every move, and then personally followed Yuan and Zhang, including Mu Tianbo. During the days when Yuan and Zhang were on the expedition, they also secretly accompanied the army. This move would not arouse anyone's suspicion, because the Jinyiwei's duty was to inquire about information, and they wanted to report the latest battle situation. It was most normal to follow the army. but.
However, after following him for more than ten days, he didn't notice anything strange about Yuan and Zhang. It wasn't until Mu Tianbo suddenly led his troops back to Kunming that Yuan and Zhang followed him, but Zhang Lianying finally discovered the clue. Yuan and Zhang were generals in the city. There was a house where one day a follower discovered that Yuan Guohong went to Zhang Guoyong’s house, but there were guests at Zhang Guoyong’s house that day.
He was not an ordinary guest. At first glance, he was not a local or a Han family. Zhang Lianying immediately thought of the Sha Dingzhou mentioned by Chang Yu. Could it be the person he sent? So he ordered his men to follow those people and see where he went after leaving the city.
result!
Sure enough, I went to Mengzi!
They were really colluding and secretly discussing something. Zhang Lianying became excited immediately. He thought it was a blessing from the sky, so he put all his strength and energy into this matter. His professional sixth sense let him know that Sha Dingzhou He and Yuan Zhang must be plotting something big, and the eunuch knew a little bit about it, so he allowed himself to pursue it.
The Jin Yiwei's job is to spy on reconnaissance intelligence, which is what they are best at, so Yuan and Zhang have always been kept in the dark, not knowing that their every move is being watched by the Jin Yiwei.
Unexpectedly, after following for several days, Yuan and Zhang were as usual, which put Zhang Lianying into a dilemma, but soon the news of Sha Dingzhou leading his troops to Kunming reached his ears, and he immediately let Zhang Lianying fall into trouble. He shuddered.
It's coming, it's coming, something big is happening!
Sure enough, after following them, they found that Sha Dingzhou sent someone to secretly meet Yuan and Zhang on the way there.
At this time, Zhang Lianying was a fool and knew that they were going to work together to cause trouble, and it was definitely not a good thing, so he saw the Ruan brothers and called him to tell them about it. The Ruan brothers were shocked and immediately wanted to report it to Mu Tianbo. He stopped him, but the matter was still unclear, and he was afraid that he might alert the enemy. At the same time, he contacted the generals he had good friends with in the army and made preparations secretly to prevent any eventuality.
Sha Dingzhou entered the city.
Sha Dingzhou and his people secretly contacted each other.
The people from Sha Dingzhou went to see Yuan and Zhang again.
Sha Dingzhou's soldiers and horses are outside the city.
Sha Dingzhou has contacted his people again, and Sha Dingzhou's troops are going to the front line today.
Hey, guest Tang actually put on makeup and secretly went to meet Yuan and Zhang!
Sha Dingzhou thought that he didn't know the rules, and even the small moves that Prince Mu didn't notice were all caught in the eyes of professional players, and he knew every move like the palm of his hand.
At this time, Zhang Lianying and the Ruan brothers realized that they might be about to take action, and deduced that the departure of their troops might be just a cover. Of course, all of this is speculation, and more clues or evidence are needed to confirm it.
Is it time to capture someone? If the timing is wrong, all the previous efforts may be wasted if the opportunity is wrong. Just when Zhang Lianying was wondering whether to capture someone, his subordinates reported secretly, and Yuan and Zhang replaced all the guards at the north gate with their own people!
Tang Jingbin met Yuan and Zhang in person. Wan left with his soldiers and horses in the evening. Yuan and Zhang replaced the guards at the north gate with their own people!
Fuck, they're going to do it tonight!
Zhang Lianying no longer hesitated and immediately led his team to arrest Yuan and Zhang. After a violent beating, they resorted to everything. Jinyiwei's methods of extracting confessions were never inferior to those of Dongchang. They were the real veterans.
After getting the confession, Zhang Lianying was surprised and happy. As a royal guard, he mobilized his troops and horses to guard the city gates again, and then rushed to Prince Mu's Mansion. That scene just happened.
The sand thief is hateful, ten thousand times more hateful than Nawu Bikui. He actually plans to destroy a certain prince's palace in Yunnan. I want to destroy all nine of his tribes. Mu Tianbo finally shouted out. He was really angry and frightened. This time if If the eunuch hadn't arranged it properly, if Zhang Lianying hadn't fulfilled his duties, the Mu family would have been doomed. Thinking of this, he was covered in cold sweat, and his heart was full of hatred for Sha Dingzhou. He wished he could immediately scrape his skin and cramp his muscles. It was a waste of time. I trust his father and him so much!
As for those two subordinates, we must not let them live. Even if they die, we can't let them die easily. They have to be cut off one by one.
