"Continue to mobilize troops."
Zhao Ping said: "Aren't there still city defenders and forbidden troops outside?"
"Send them all over."
"Today, not only will the six ministerial books be checked, but everyone present will also be checked."
"Send them all over?"
Liu Dingbei frowned, "What should we do if someone takes the opportunity to cause trouble and escape, or if someone breaks in from outside?"
"Your Majesty is here, so this is the top priority."
Zhao Ping said: "As long as we protect His Majesty well, even if someone attacks or escapes, it won't have much impact on us."
"Do as I say."
"If something happens, I'll take the responsibility."
"good."
Liu Dingbei didn't waste any more nonsense.
Who made Zhao Ping the famous person beside His Majesty now?
Without you, Chen Xuan took Zhao Ping to his general's mansion and told him to follow Zhao Ping's arrangements.
As my uncle, he really... Liu Dingbei couldn't blame him even if he wanted to.
You can say that he has tarnished Liu Mengru’s innocence.
But if it weren't for him, Liu Mengru might have starved to death long ago.
He said that he was just a village man in the mountains and had no connection with the general's family.
But by relying on acacia wine, I suddenly won a seventh-grade wine tasting officer.
Later, frosted sugar and soap were added, and millions of taels of silver were earned.
All the properties in their general's mansion combined don't have that much silver.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t accept it.
Of course, the most important thing is that people climbed up to His Majesty.
He still holds Shang Fang's sword in his hand, which is equivalent to holding a gold medal for immunity from death.
In terms of money, the General's Mansion cannot compare.
In terms of status, the General's Mansion is also inferior.
The mismatch was because Zhao Ping was not the one who favored them, but Liu Mengru was the one who favored Zhao Ping.
What's more, Zhao Ping also presented him with fifty jars of acacia wine, each jar worth 25,000 taels of silver, and sold for 1.25 million taels of silver.
It's enough for him to support many soldiers.
Liu Dingbei also accepted Zhao Ping as his uncle, but he was still somewhat depressed.
After raising such a big daughter, she didn't show much respect to herself, but she took advantage of that bastard Zhao Ping.
Not even a betrothal gift.
Hum, I'll settle the score with him later.
Liu Dingbei turned around and left angrily.
Um?
Zhao Ping frowned slightly, thinking about what he just said, there was nothing to offend General Liu?
Why does he have this attitude?
Still not satisfied with yourself?
Forget it, now is not the time to consider this matter.
After helping His Majesty clear the court, I will have a few drinks with my father-in-law.
As everyone knows, in his previous life, when a high school classmate of his got engaged, his father-in-law was extremely dissatisfied and asked for a lot of betrothal gifts.
Then the classmate took the wine to my father-in-law's house and drank with him.
After a few bottles, the two became brothers.
Not only did the father-in-law happily send his daughter away, he even reduced the bride price by half.
Zhao Ping also wants to follow suit.
I just don't know if I can get Liu Dingbei drunk with my drinking capacity.
But Zhao Ping is not worried either.
After all, with a wine vat like Li Hu beside him, it is not an exaggeration to say that he will not get drunk after a thousand cups.
Zhao Ping is not afraid if he does it for him, let alone Liu Dingbei, even if his son Liu Chuanxiong is added to the job.
According to Zhao Ping's instructions, Liu Dingbei dismissed the soldiers he had just ordered and asked them to return to their own team. They set off alone and recruited soldiers from outside.
Liu Dingbei plans to send five hundred soldiers to each of the six ministers.
Three thousand people.
There were originally only 40,000 soldiers in the capital.
20,000 city defenders and 20,000 forbidden troops.
But some of them were corrupted and infiltrated by the major officials in the court, just like Queen Hao Runxiang, and they could still be taken away.
Therefore, the number of people who are truly loyal to His Majesty is around thirty-five thousand.
Chang'an is also a fortress, so all the defenders cannot be mobilized.
In accordance with His Majesty's instructions, eight thousand people were left behind.
The same goes for the imperial guards. The importance of the imperial palace is many times higher than that of Chang'an.
More people are left behind.
A total of twelve thousand people.
Everyone stayed at their posts to protect the safety of the palace.
Therefore, His Majesty led people to surround the palace this time. In fact, there were only 15,000 people.
At this time, another three thousand were taken away by Liu Dingbei, and there were five hundred people following His Majesty inside the palace.
Only 11,500 people actually besieged the palace.
Seems like a lot.
But spread out, it seems a bit less.
If they really encounter a slightly larger number of people and force their way into the palace, and then break into several waves, they will be unable to stop them even if they want.
But it was important to find out the truth right now, and Liu Dingbei didn't care so much anymore.
And in line with what Zhao Ping said, as long as you protect His Majesty and let them do whatever they want, you won't be able to make waves.
"Mother, how are you?"
While they were discussing, the prince came to Hao Runxiang again, held her hand and cried.
"Mother, don't worry, he is holding the Shang Fang Sword given by the Emperor Father in his hand now, and the soldiers dare not attack him."
"When I ascend the throne and proclaim myself emperor, I will definitely chop off his head."
"I promise you that after I ascend the throne, no one will dare to bully you again."
"Your Majesty is so good."
Hao Runxiang rubbed Chen Hong's head and said with pity.
Be an emperor?
After this incident, it will be difficult for the East Palace to improve again.
They become victims of other people's struggles.
"Mother, you get up first, sit aside and wait for a while."
Chen Hong helped Hao Runxiang up and said loudly: "My son, please go ahead and wear the dragon robe and crown, and ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor."
He said it very loudly.
So that everyone around could hear it clearly.
Everyone looked at Chen Hong like he was a fool.
Ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor?
Zhao Ping holds the Shangfang Sword, which represents His Majesty.
Until His Majesty's body is brought back, you can't even think of sitting on the throne.
Sure enough, Zhao Ping walked over with his sword in hand.
With a swipe, the sword was placed across the prince's neck.
Zhao Ping said coldly: "Your Highness, I'm sorry, but as long as I'm here, you won't be able to ascend the throne for the time being."
"Why did you stop me?"
Although Chen Hong was a little scared, he didn't want to see his mother being hurt. He stiffened his neck and asked, "My father is dead and I am the prince. Why can't I ascend the throne?"
"The official said it before."
Zhao Ping explained patiently: "Even if His Majesty is dead, as the prince, you should go to Yuzhou to pick up His Majesty's body."
"Otherwise, if you just say that His Majesty is dead, who will believe it?"
"What if the news is false?"
"You are rebelling by taking the throne at this time."
"So I would like to advise Your Highness the Crown Prince to be patient for the time being."
"When this matter is over, you personally lead the army to Yuzhou to find out the truth."
"If His Majesty is really dead, it will not be too late for you to ascend the throne."
"If His Majesty is still alive and well, you can also help His Majesty suppress the bandits, achieve military exploits, and demonstrate your power as a prince."
"If I don't listen, I will ascend the throne and proclaim myself emperor now."
Chen Hong said stubbornly.
"That's embarrassing."
Zhao Ping said indifferently: "Someone, tie up the prince."
The order was given, but no one carried it out.
Just kidding, that's the prince, the only prince in the current dynasty. Regardless of whether His Majesty's death is true or not, he will inherit the throne in the future and is the true and only prince.
Who dares to tie him up?
Isn't that seeking death?
Even if the prince doesn't cause trouble for you now, he will still write it down in his notebook. When he ascends the throne, he will punish all nine of your clans.
"What are you doing?"
His Majesty Chen Xuan spoke again, "Zhao Ping has the Shangfang Sword in his hand. He can represent His Majesty. What he said is now an imperial edict. Do you want to resist it?"
Why!
The soldiers around Chen Xuan were quite speechless.
You said that the good emperor won't stand up and take charge of the overall situation, so what's the point of letting a seventh-grade wine taster without any real power to toss around?
Doesn't this make it difficult for these soldiers?
But His Majesty has orders, and they dare not disobey.
He could only step forward and tie up the prince, but he kept saying apologetic words.
Even the binding ropes were loose and the prince could get rid of them with a simple struggle.
But he didn't struggle.
Because when passing by Hao Runxiang, Hao Runxiang warned him.
If you want to survive, if you want to save your mother, you can't create extra problems and everything must be according to Zhao Ping's arrangements.
But this does not prevent him from hating Zhao Ping.
The eyes he stared at Zhao Ping were like sharp knives, as if they were going to scratch Zhao Ping alive.
Zhao Ping didn't mind this.
He walked towards the Crown Prince Mu Chen step by step.
The Qian family was imprisoned, six ministers were captured, and the next one was the prince and tutor.
