In the imperial city, two of the four military camps were recruited from the new barracks and from the five regions. They wanted to go to the southern border, but were detained by the second prince. There were about 30,000 soldiers and 15,000 soldiers left in the imperial city. On the left and right are the permanent soldiers and horses of the imperial city directly under Wei Xian.
The Imperial City Imperial Army originally had 10,000 troops, but Li Ye took 5,000 to southern Xinjiang. The second prince only had 5,000 troops under his direct command.
Under his strict orders, the military camp directly under Wei Xian stayed in the South Camp and stood still. The 30,000 troops from the five regions were in the West Camp and the East Camp respectively. The 5,000 forbidden troops in the imperial city were stationed in the North Camp.
When Jiang Huo led Nalan Yu and other southern Xinjiang troops to surround the east and west military camps and explained the situation to the guards inside, the soldiers in the military camps breathed a sigh of relief, and finally no longer had to fight.
There were only three thousand forbidden troops in the northern camp, and two thousand of them were on duty in the palace. Li Ye was locked up in the underground palace, watching the southern Xinjiang army outside the encircling military camp ready to move.
However, no matter how many ways they tried, they could not get out of the military camp.
Whenever a soldier approaches the gate or the barracks, he will be bounced back to the original place by a curtain of light.
This is Li Ye's trump card. As long as he is in the imperial city, he can control the major military camps in the imperial city and the entire imperial city.
At the moment, he has only opened the trapping formation, not the killing formation. If chaos breaks out in the palace again, or if Jiang Huo receives a battle report, he will immediately open the killing formation again.
Together with the killing array, the entire military camp will be destroyed without mercy.
When Jiang Huo followed Li Ye's order and asked the soldiers guarding outside the North Camp to load their arrows and prepare for the killing blow, the voice of the eunuch from the palace came from the street.
When the three thousand Imperial Guards in the North Camp heard that the emperor had replaced them and ordered them to stay in place, they all gave up the idea of breaking out while waiting for the order.
The emperors have changed, who do they serve?
Only a few guards who worked for the second prince were unwilling to give in. They finally killed Li Ye one by one after he lifted the trap and Jiang Huo led tens of thousands of troops into the camp.
Before the time came, the entire imperial city had completed the move-in and defense change from the four city gates to the four major military camps.
Except for the killings in the North Camp, the other three military camps were all without bloodshed.
It wasn't until Beiying was completely cleaned up that Jiang Huo patted Nalan Yu on the chest and said, "Finally, we completed the task assigned by the Generalissimo and the Imperial Advisor."
Nalan Yu looked at it and said with a smile: "Now you are the marshal, and the eldest prince is already the emperor."
Jiang Huo looked at him, touched his head, and said with a smile, "Am I going to become the generalissimo now?"
"Remember: you owe me many drinks!" Nalan Yu said to him seriously.
...
On this day, common people and merchants throughout the imperial city discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, there were more sergeants walking on the streets than usual.
And these sergeants all have one thing in common, that is, they all wear a golden scarf around their necks.
There are also many children from common people in the imperial city serving as soldiers in the military camps. Whenever their parents see the sergeants walking on the street, they will proudly say: "This new emperor is good. He is actually afraid that the children will be cold, so he gives them hair." Got a scarf.”
That night, 90,000 troops from southern Xinjiang entered the imperial city, and the city was filled with yellow scarf armor.
It was night, in the entire imperial city, some people were happy and some were sad.
When Concubine Li learned that the emperor's uncle had tried to keep her mother and son safe at the last moment, she finally sighed deeply.
Looking at Xia Yunjie, he said: "Man's calculation is not as good as God's. I didn't expect that your father would be so partial and leave a back-up plan early on."
Xia Yunjie looked at her and said bitterly: "Then who will I be in the future? A new king? A prince with no title?"
Li Fei stretched out her hand to grab his hand and sighed softly: "At least we, mother and son, are still alive and have not lost our identities. If the Imperial Master had thought like this, our lives would have been lost long ago."
"Does he want to cut the grass?" Xia Yunjie couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he thought of what Li Ye said.
"If there's anything he doesn't dare to do, don't forget, he killed tens of thousands of people." Li Fei was frightened when she thought of Feng Lingdu's battle report.
"A gentleman's revenge will last ten years. I don't believe it anymore." Xia Yunjie said through gritted teeth.
"It's all about the future. Now you have to put down your identity and build a good relationship with your elder brother." How could Li Fei not know what her son was thinking, but what could she do as a woman?
What's more, after she caused such a drama in the imperial city, the woman beside the imperial mausoleum never appeared, which also made her feel worried.
From her point of view, as long as she is alive, there is hope.
Hopefully tomorrow.
...
Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
The right minister looked at Linghu Kuangyu, sighed heavily, and said: "This time, we have completely failed, and there is no possibility of turning around."
Linghu Kuangyu looked at him and said unwillingly: "I didn't expect that the emperor would still have a hand. It's only the second child's fault that he is unlucky. He can't understand such a simple reason, so I let him answer first."
The right prime minister glanced at him and said with a wry smile: "I remember when he answered, you guys all said he was right!"
Linghu Kuangyu was stunned, shook his head and said: "People say that the emperor's thoughts are the most difficult to guess. Even if we have followed him for decades, we still cannot guess his thoughts."
The right minister looked at him, shook his head again, and said: "How can he have any thoughts? He is focused on cultivation, otherwise he would not let the Beihai Islands stand in front of the Five Domains Imperial City."
"It's just that the second prince has asked Linghu Zhen to go to Beihai to borrow troops. What should we do now?" Linghu Kuangyu suddenly remembered this matter.
"It's none of our business anymore. The eldest prince has become the emperor. These messes will be a headache for him, the Imperial Master and others."
When the right minister thought of Li Ye's vicious appearance, he couldn't help but worry about the 50,000 troops and horses borrowed from Beihai.
At present, the imperial city has hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Not to mention the soldiers and horses of the imperial city, the 90,000 troops returning from southern Xinjiang are enough to wipe out the 50,000 troops of Beihai several times.
...
In the home of Prime Minister Zuo.
General Wei Xian did not stay in the palace, but followed the ministers out of the palace and all the way to the home of the left prime minister.
The two of them were guarding a stove, and there was a jar of soju and several plates of side dishes on the table.
After gently drinking a cup, Wei Xian looked at Zuo Xiang and said, "Unexpectedly, none of us could help."
Prime Minister Zuo looked at him, shook his head, and said softly: "With the Emperor and the Imperial Preceptor here, as long as we don't cause trouble for them in the Imperial City, that's the best."
"Tell me, what are the plans of the right prime minister and Linghu Kuangtai in the future? After all, the emperor's uncle has protected the second prince, Li Fei and others." Wei Xian picked up the wine jar and poured wine into their glasses.
The left prime minister picked up the wine glass, thought for a moment, and said softly: "If I were the right prime minister, I would be sick and die in old age."
Wei Xian nodded, stared blankly at the wine in the glass, and then said after a while: "It is said that the son of the right prime minister was the deputy commander of the eldest prince, but why did he disappear in southern Xinjiang?"
"You have to ask the Second Prince and the Right Prime Minister about this matter. How can we know about their affairs? However, I don't know whether the Imperial Master will let the Right Prime Minister go."
The right prime minister shook his head and thought to himself: A deputy commander in the army disappeared as soon as he said he would disappear, without even a battle report?
"It seems that the right prime minister and Linghu Kuangyu have to shoulder the blame." Wei Xian took another sip of wine.
"Why are you sighing? Didn't your little girl go to southern Xinjiang with that boy from the Sixth Book of Secretariat? When she comes back now, she has to be made a female general, or at least a princess, right?"
"Have I not gone home yet? I guess she is still in the army and will go home later, right?" Wei Xian looked at the right minister and laughed twice.
At the beginning, no one wanted their children to drop out of the Royal Academy and join the army in southern Xinjiang. He couldn't help his daughter's nagging, so he made up his mind and agreed to her.
Now that I think about it, that was a wise decision.
"Your Majesty still has foresight. There is such a great world, and the benevolent is the king. It seems that the five regions can enjoy a peaceful life for several decades in the future." Zuo Xiang stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction.
...
The building is full of flowers.
Yeluyan sat quietly with Hua Tianxia in the largest accordion on the third floor. This was a place for Hua Tianxia's own use and not open to the public.
Looking at Yeluyan with a happy face, Hua Tianxia rolled her eyes at her and said with a smile: "In a while, the emperor will propose marriage to your father. From now on, if you take care of me, don't ignore me. "
Yeluyan blushed, looked at her in embarrassment, and whispered: "Sister, you are talking nonsense."
"See what you are so shy about. Don't you say that the princesses of the prairie are all proud? What are you afraid of? You have me and the Imperial Master to make the decision for you. I'm afraid he won't dare to bully you." After Hua Tianxia finished speaking, he chuckled got up.
Yeluyan pinched her gently and said with a smile, "Why don't you see sister Mumu come back?"
Hua Tian was stunned and looked out the window and said, "She has to go with the Imperial Master. She has to wait for them to finish handling the matters in the palace. Don't worry about her. She is just a little witch. As long as she doesn't cause trouble and harm others, she will be fine." ”
Yeluyan was startled and couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.
She understands Mu Mu best, and she gave Li Ye a lot of headaches when he was in southern Xinjiang.
"Sister Hua, you're saying bad things about Mu Mu behind her back again, right?" Before the two of them could continue talking, the door of the Accord was pushed open, and Mu Mu rushed in furiously.
Like a whirlwind, it instantly entered Hua Tianxia's arms, and the two started to fight.
Then Li Ye, the eldest prince, Xia Yunlan and others walked in, followed by Nalan Yu and Jiang Huo, as well as Wang Tianhua, Wei Qingyu and others.
"Where are Mr. Tang and the princess?" Hua Tianxia asked looking at Li Ye who walked in.
Li Ye glanced at her and replied, "The two of them are downstairs discussing with Sister Luoyu what to eat."
After a large group of people sat down, the maid who filled the room brought tea and poured it for everyone, and also put out snacks and melon seeds.
"Have a cup of tea first, and dinner will be ready in a while." Hua Tianxia said while looking at everyone.
Li Ye picked up the tea cup and said to the eldest prince: "I wish the emperor prosperity and peace in the world after he ascends the throne!"
When Hua Tian heard this, she and Yelu Yan covered their mouths. After a long while, she came back to her senses before she stood up and blessed the eldest prince. She smiled and said: "Young ladies have seen your majesty, you can use it in the future." Stay with me?!"
Yeluyan didn't speak, she just opened her wonderful eyes and watched the man she liked transform from a general marshal to an emperor in one day.
The eldest prince looked at her and smiled: "I can't protect you. From now on, I have to rely on General Nalan."
Li Ye turned back to look at Nalan Yu, who was bowing his head silently, and suddenly said to the eldest prince: "Your Majesty, my eldest brother was a general before. He fought with us in southern Xinjiang for a year and made countless military exploits. Why did he come back? Or a general?"
The meaning is obvious, I don't want to be an official, my brothers do.
The eldest prince was stunned, turned to look at Li Ye, then looked at Nalan Yu, and said in a daze, "What should we do?"
Li Ye looked at him and smiled, and said softly: "Why don't you give him my position as national master?"
Unexpectedly, the eldest prince's eyes widened, he looked at him and smiled: "You are very beautiful, aren't you?"
When Mu Mu heard this, she immediately became interested. She looked at Li Ye and smiled and said, "Then don't think too much of it!" After saying that, she slapped the eldest prince proudly, and the two of them laughed proudly. .
The group of people looked at Mu Mu stupidly, thinking that apart from the Imperial Master, this little witch was the only one sitting here who dared to talk to the eldest prince like this.
"Today is just for eating and drinking. We will discuss the reward later." The eldest prince made the final decision, blocking Li Ye's thoughts of evasion. "
Nalan Yu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Li Ye and said, "Master Imperial Master, please don't put me on the fire. After all, we are brothers."
Li Ye shook his head, looked at him and said, "I just want to get a good identity for you, otherwise how can you be worthy of my sister Hua?" After saying that, he turned to look at Hua Tianxia.
