After entering the Yinghua Hall, Qian, Zhou, and Wan found that the empress dowager and the empress dowager were sitting opposite each other, with sad faces.
Empress Dowager Sun felt bitter because she was involved in lawsuits; Dowager Wu felt bitter because the emperor was seriously ill.
As a result, the two of them had a rare sympathy for each other.
A few people chatted about a lot of household matters, and Mrs. Wu just told her to leave.
Qian and others were allowed to stay and spend more time with the Queen Mother.
After Mrs. Wu left, seeing no one around, Qian and others just relayed the mutiny plan like they were pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
Queen Mother Sun was shocked at first, and then overjoyed.
Once the mutiny is successful, the Sun family will be completely saved. And Sun herself will once again be in charge of the harem and the king will return.
Half an hour later, Qian and others said goodbye and left.
Concubine Wu returned to the palace. After another hour, the princess's chariot left the palace and headed for the Wuding Hou Mansion under the protection of three thousand personal guards.
In the evening, after listening to Chen Xiang's report on the news coming from everywhere, Zhu Qizhen nodded and said with a smile:
"The concubine and the princess are here, and it seems that my brother is also here. That's just right, let's catch a turtle in an urn."
Chen Xiang replied with a worried look on his face: "The emperor has brought 10,000 state guards. It will be very difficult to deal with them."
Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. My brother's princess took three thousand personal guards to the Wuding Marquis Mansion. In his old palace, there were originally one thousand personal guards left behind, plus the seven thousand personal guards brought today, a total of Only eight thousand people.
Tomorrow morning, as soon as the Chaoyang Gate opens, Shi Heng and Ren Li will lead 15,000 Beijing troops into the city. At that time, they would do nothing and just surround the old Prince Qi's residence.
With 15,000 well-prepared elites from the Beijing camp, calculated deliberately and unintentionally, against 8,000 bodyguards who hastily responded, it is obvious that our side has a greater chance of winning.
The most important thing is that once we control the imperial city, we can bring in cannon from the outer city arsenal.
When the time comes, it will be nothing more than a mere eight thousand personal guards. "
Chen Xiang was shocked when he heard this: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that the Beijing army from outside the city entered the city at noon, and then divided the troops into two groups, controlling Xizhimen along the way, blocking the emperor's reinforcements, and besieging the old prince's palace along the way?"
Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "How can that be the case? It's all a joke, used to confuse my brother. In this way, even if our plan is leaked, my brother will not know our real plan."
Chen Xiang's heart skipped a beat, when did his own royal family have such a palace. The emperor, concubine, and princess were all in the city, and there were only 10,000 personal guards. They had to face the full siege of 15,000 Beijing troops, with artillery to help. It was over.
Before Chen Xiang could react, Zhu Qizhen ordered: "It's getting dark. Go and order Ha Ming to close the palace gate. No one can enter or leave the Nangong. Except Ha Ming, who can act urgently, anyone else dares to pass on the news." , immediately beheaded without mercy.
Also, Guo Song was put under house arrest. Although this newly sent by the emperor was the son of Dingxiang Bo Guo Deng, I still don't trust him. "
Chen Xiang felt bitter in his heart, but he could only act as he said.
At this point, Nangong is officially closed. What if there is urgent news? Yes, you have to go through Ha Ming who is guarding outside the palace gate.
Now Chen Xiang didn't dare to act rashly. After all, Ha Ming was the confidant of his own royal family. To pass the news through him was tantamount to throwing himself into a trap. We can only pray that His Majesty Emperor Jingtai is wise and mighty, and can anticipate the enemy's opportunities.
At the same time, Cao Qin began to have a banquet with his guests and servants behind closed doors in his mansion. At this time, Cao Qin announced to his servants that he was going to launch a mutiny, and made many wishes by appointing officials.
By this time, everyone had completely boarded the pirate ship. Anyone who dared to oppose the mutiny would be chopped into pieces immediately.
Everyone has to be carried forward.
Similar to Cao Qin, there were Shi Heng, Sun Boring, Ren Li, Liu Yongcheng, and the servants of Mao Zhong's house.
Other nobles who were inclined to defer to the emperor gathered their servants together and waited to see which way the wind was blowing. Once Emperor Gongrang gained the upper hand, everyone led their servants to join the army that welcomed the Emperor's restoration.
If the wind is not in the right direction and the emperor is completely defeated, everyone will choose Qinwang and Qingjun to show their loyalty to the emperor in order to clear up the relationship and avoid disaster.
In short, they are just grass on the wall, falling wherever the wind blows. Everyone tends to give in to the emperor in their hearts, but their own lives and prosperity are more important.
…
Due to too much pressure, Zhu Qizhen summoned his favorite Ling'er to sleep on the dragon bed.
Working over and over again until late at night, Zhu Qizhen was so tired that his eyelids trembled, and then he forgot his worries and fell into a deep sleep.
At the same time, in the Hehuan Hall of Prince Qi's Mansion in the western suburbs, Zhu Qiyu was gathering on the couch with his four beloved concubines to wait for dawn.
Su Xi asked worriedly: "My mother and concubine entered the capital alone, will everything be okay?"
Zhu Qiyu shook his head: "It's pity for the parents in the world that my mother and concubine are willing to put themselves in danger for us.
But don't worry too much. The concubine went to the palace to show her face, and then took your chariot to the Wuding Marquis' Mansion.
Tomorrow morning, as soon as the rebels are launched, the eight thousand personal guards of the old prince's palace will immediately retreat to Wudinghou's palace.
There will be more than 20,000 personal guards gathered in the Wuding Marquis Mansion and Fengtian Dusi. It is more than enough to protect the safety of mother and concubine.
Tomorrow, when the city gates of Beijing open and Shi Heng leads the Beijing battalion into the city, the 10,000 Shenji battalion will carry chariots, artillery, and strong bows and crossbows, and enter through the Anding Gate of the North City.
Then 20,000 Yan Guards will guard outside Chaoyang Gate, cutting off Shi Heng's retreat so that he can only move forward. "
Su Xi asked curiously: "If my husband changes his plan temporarily, will there really be no problems?"
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Don't worry, soldiers are very fast, and our eldest brother Gongrang Emperor will definitely adjust his strategy.
Do you think he would really trust Chen Xiang? Will he really trust the concubine we placed next to him?
Did he really believe the theory that the Queen Mother secretly took the son of a man from the palace? Did he really turn against the Queen Mother Sun?
They're all just confusing each other.
The reality is that if he doesn't want to go to Fengyang to guard the mausoleum, he can only choose to give it a try.
If he doesn't fight, the prince will be deposed sooner or later, and then there will be no hope at all. Rather than being cut by a dull knife, it's better to give it a try and at least have something to think about.
Of course, this is all my own speculation. In fact, only he himself knows what the eldest brother thinks. "
Su Xi smiled and said: "It's so complicated. How can the intrigues between men be more intense than the intrigues between us women?"
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "There is no way, we are all forced. If Xuanmiao hadn't messed around and dug holes for the Ming Dynasty, we wouldn't be doing this.
We are currently having a palace fight with the Wang family in Prince Tan's Mansion in Shandong.
To manage Shanxi like this, I can only say: Hey, it’s hard to live up to its reputation. "
Lin Xiangyu said with a smile: "Husband, just take a rest for a while. We sisters can take turns watching. As soon as it gets dark, we will wake you up immediately."
Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Okay, as soon as day breaks, I will go out immediately and summon the generals of Yingzhou Guard to let them all see me.
To prevent rumors from spreading and destroying the morale of the army. Otherwise, the capital was not lost, but the old nest was lost, which would be a big joke. "
So Zhu Qiyu slept peacefully.
At dawn, Zhu Qiyu immediately dressed up and took his four beloved concubines to Ganquan Palace. He summoned Zhao Xuan, Gu Zhong and other Yingzhou guards in the south hall.
After two months, the generals finally saw their emperor, and their military morale was immediately determined, and they no longer had any doubts.
In the capital, Cao Qin, wearing heavy armor and riding a BMW, gathered with Shi Heng and others' servants and attacked Dong'anmen in a mighty manner.
At this point, everyone stopped hiding and shouted as they advanced: "The Supreme Emperor has been restored, the Supreme Emperor has been restored, the Supreme Emperor has been restored, the entire city is under martial law today, people are staying at home and are not allowed to go out, and anyone who disobeys the order will be executed." "
But this is not what Zhu Qizhen taught everyone to shout like this.
Zhu Qizhen didn't want to be so ostentatious, but he couldn't stop the rebels from doing whatever they wanted.
That's what rebellion is like. Planning is one thing, but actually executing it is another.
Once there are more than ten thousand people, there is no limit. Even if Han Bai is reincarnated, it may not be possible to make the improvised mob work.
