On the eighth day of March in the eighth year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty, Yinshi arrived.
In Beijing, on the street outside Dong'anmen, a large group of people were carrying lanterns and heading towards the Forbidden City in the dark night that had just begun to fade.
This group of people drove out from Prince Yu's Mansion on Taijichang Street. The leader of the group was of course Prince Yu Fuquan. He was wearing an ordinary blue coat and was riding a horse that was not as big as his small body. The matching big horse also carried a waist knife. The face hidden in the darkness was full of excitement for a while, and full of sadness for the next.
Because today is the moment that determines the life and death of this little kid king and good brother of the Qing Dynasty!
Logically speaking, since he was a child and the emperor's brother, he was born a winner, and if the little emperor pounced on him, he would win more, so there was no need to help Kang Mazi rebel. But if he can't stand this Fuquan, he is a "little brother-supporting demon"!
When Ama Shunzhi asked him what he wanted to do when he grew up, he replied that he wanted to be a "king of idleness". Now he is "unable to stay idle" anymore. He has his head stuck in his waistband and helps his younger brother Kangxi to rebel... like this His good brother really made Wang Zhongxiao, who followed Fu Shen into the imperial city, very envious!
If only he could have such a brother!
Thinking of this, Wang Zhongxiao turned back and glanced at Wang Fuchen, who was wearing the official uniform of a second-grade military attache - look at his son, and then look at your eldest son. Why is there such a big difference?
Wang Fuchen seemed to notice the look in Wang Zhongxiao's eyes, and thought that this boy was rebellious for the first time and was panicking, so he smiled and comforted him: "Don't panic, this kind of thing is not a big deal. You will get used to it if you do it too much in the future." !”
Wang Zhongxiao had a "rebellion" in his heart. When he heard Wang Fuchen say this, he was immediately shocked and almost went up to cover the old guy's mouth.
What is this old guy talking about? You get used to it after doing it too much...Can you say this in front of Fuquan?
But before he could take action, Fuquan had already answered: "That's right, Datou, don't be afraid... My Queen Mother already told Mu Zhan, the leader of Jingyun Sect, yesterday that she would wait for his daughter When she was raised to thirteen years old, she was selected into the palace as a concubine.
Prince An Yue Le and Minister Gu Ming of Zhenghuang Banner Ye Bilong will also enter the palace later to pay their respects to my Queen Mother. And today, the person in charge of the duty commander of the Xiaoqi battalion guarding the imperial city is Dong E Dong Beile.
In addition, the Mongolian minister of defense in Luan Yiwei, Eqier, is the great-nephew of the Empress Dowager..."
This is strength, and it is also the power of righteousness!
Mu Zhan is from the Nala clan of Zhenghuang Banner. He was the deputy capital commander during the Shunzhi period. He is now a commander of the Shangsan Banner Guard Camp. He has always been close to Sony and Suo'etu and his son. Now that the old queen mother has promised a concubine to his daughter, he naturally knows what to do at the critical moment.
Not to mention Yue Le and Er Bilong, one is the elder of the clan, and the other is Minister Gu Ming and Minister Luan Yiwei who are equal to Ao Bai. Let them choose between Ao Bai and the little emperor, they will definitely support the little emperor.
Yue Le no longer has any real power, but Yi Bilong is the minister in charge of Luan Yiwei. The Yamen of Luan Yiwei is on the thousand-foot corridor outside the Meridian Gate, and there are many captains and soldiers inside!
The other minister in charge of Luan Yiwei, Eqier, was Baylor of Horqin Mongolia, and his sister was the Queen Mother (Kangxi's stepmother).
There is also a duty commander of the Xiaoqi Battalion, Dong E, who is Duduo's son... I don't know how the shift is arranged, but today it is his turn to guard the gate.
Of course, the above people will not participate in the rebellion conspiracy of Kangxi and Bumbutai. But once Kangxi attacked, and Kangxi himself was not controlled by Obai, they would definitely side with Kangxi and trample on Obai!
It's only human nature to add insult to injury!
Although there are still many members of Obai's party in the Guards Department, the Guards' Army, and the Forbidden City and Imperial City Guards, with people like Yue Le, Ye Bilong, Mu Zhan, and Dong E taking the lead, most of the guards and guards who are dawdling around are The guards will definitely remain loyal to the emperor, and even Obai's followers can rejoin their ranks.
Therefore, the key to the success or failure of today's rebellion is not to capture Obai, but to Kangxi not letting Obai be captured. The key to holding the emperor and commanding the Eight Banners is to have an emperor in hand!
As long as Obai escapes from the Palace of Qianqing, his momentum will be over... You, the number one Manchurian Batulu, let a child emperor beat you away, who will still mess with you?
"What the prince said is absolutely true!" Wang Zhongxiao realized that Fuquan didn't pay attention to Wang Fuchen's words, so he quickly sent flattery, "The emperor and the empress dowager are planning the strategy. As long as we follow the instructions, we will be foolproof."
Fuquan nodded and was about to say something else, but Guanyin Bao, who was leading the way, had already shouted, "Your Majesty, Dong'an Gate has arrived."
Wang Fuchen immediately said to Fuquan: "Your Majesty, please invite me first, and then my father and son will enter Dong'anmen."
"Okay!" Fuquan nodded, pulled the reins, and rode the horse forward.
Wang Zhongxiao said to "Xian, Yi, An, Quan" who had put on the royal guard clothes behind him, as well as Master Yu, Xiao Lizi, Guo Jinbao and others: "Go and protect the prince!"
"嗻!"
The seven people responded and rode forward together, following Yu Wang Fuquan.
Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao, father and son, stepped aside and watched Fuquan leading more than a hundred people toward Dong'anmen.
Among these more than a hundred people, only twenty or thirty are royal guards, and the rest are "supernumerary Buku boys of Jingwu Sect", that is, they are the more capable boys among the group of boys trained by Yu Wang Fuquan and Wang Zhongxiao respectively. call taxi.
These people, including Buku Baitang'a from Buku's office, totaled 200 people, plus about thirty personal soldiers and generals led by Wang Fuchen and Wang Zhongxiao, plus Suo'etu, Tong Guogang, and Tong Guowei's men The total number of strong domestic slaves, plus Fuquan's guards and domestic slaves, as well as the bodyguards Kangxi and Bumubutai could control, was less than 400.
This group of people was roughly divided into three. One group was led by Wang Zhongxiao and Guanyinbao. They set up an ambush in the south study room of Qianqing Palace, captured Obai, and controlled the guard stalls and Qianqing Gate.
One part, led by Fu Quan and Wang Fuchen, used the imperial dining room as a stronghold, first captured the arrow tower to the north of the imperial dining room, and then controlled Jingyun Gate.
The last group was led by Wang Zhongren, another adopted son of Wang Fuchen. They all pretended to be Sula slaves of Prince Yu's palace and stayed outside Dong'an Gate in the name of guarding the horses and waiting for their master to leave the palace. After the Qianqing Palace and Jingyun Gate were obtained, Together with Wang Fuchen and Suo'etu who attacked from Jingyun Gate, they captured Dong'an Gate.
After taking control of the Qianqing Palace and opening up the Qianqing Gate, Jingyun Gate, Donghua Gate (located between Dong'an Gate and Jingyun Gate), and Dong'an Gate, Emperor Kangxi's edicts could be sent to all parts of the Forty-Nine City. .....
Of course, in the future, these "non-staff personnel" will not be allowed to show their flaws due to nervousness. Except for the few people leading the team (all of them are Wang Fuchen's personal soldiers and the guards of Prince Yu's palace), the others still don't know the truth until now.
"Greetings to Uncle Fu!"
"Uncle Fu, you have brought so many people with you today, are you going to gamble with the emperor again?"
A knight guard and a knight guarding the gate outside Dong'an Gate saw Fu Quan arriving early in the morning and hurried forward to say hello.
Fuquan's psychological quality was good. He waved his hand and said with a laugh: "Not all of these people today are just prostitutes, some of them are apprentices in the imperial dining room... The food in the imperial dining room is so delicious, better than what I have at home." It’s delicious, so I asked my Queen Mother for a favor and let my people learn it.”
The valiant cavalry officer asked: "Is there a decree from the Empress Dowager? Then these people's badges must have been settled, right?"
"Of course, the commander of Jingyunmen will do it himself! Just check and see if there are any rebels sneaking in!"
"My lord, you are joking, but this is my humble duty..."
King Yu waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's okay! Check it out!"
Of course, nothing is wrong after checking, because all the waist cards are real, and most of the people who followed Fuquan into the imperial city didn't know that they were going to help the emperor rebel today.
According to the advice of Wang Fuchen, who has experienced six rebellions, before the rebellion officially begins, the fewer people who know about it, the better, so that the news is less likely to leak. As for most of the uninformed rebels, all they have to do is take advantage of them when things happen.
The rebellion this time was still a rebellion based on the order. With the right name in hand, the hope of success was great, and we were not afraid that the people below would not follow suit.
"It's done, they're in!"
Seeing from a distance that the large group of people led by King Yu had passed the checkpoint of Dong'an Gate, Wang Zhongxiao, who was rebelling for the first time, finally let out a long sigh of relief.
"Okay, it's our turn!" Wang Fuchen said to his son, "Second brother, after you go in, go to the arrow tower to the north of the imperial kitchen with Yu Deshui to see what Guo Jinbao and his father do. It’s unreliable. If there’s anything wrong, tell me right away. If there’s nothing wrong, just go to Qianqing Palace.”
Guo Jinbao and his father "Gunpowder Guo" had already been dragged aboard the pirate ship by Fu Quan, a nobleman. They were responsible for delivering the tools of rebellion to the arrow tower north of the imperial kitchen for storage - of course, the Minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs approved.
Along with these tools of rebellion, there were dozens of yellow jackets and official hats - all of which Wang Zhongxiao and Master Yu personally stole. When Wang Fuchen and Fuquan took over the arrow tower, they would be able to let their men Everyone is dressed up.
"The kid knows!" Wang Zhongxiao nodded, "Keep it on the kid!"
"Okay! Work hard..." Wang Fuchen smiled, "Our family's glory and wealth can be achieved in one fell swoop!"
