"who!"
Pan Xiaoxian was resting at home when someone suddenly threw a bag of something from outside and hit him on the head.
It still hurts.
Pan Xiaoxian picked up the packet of paper angrily, and when he saw a stone wrapped in the paper, he became even more angry: "Don't let me catch you."
However, Pan Xiaoxian soon lost his anger. Looking at the contents on the paper, his hands couldn't help but tremble.
"Hurry and help me get dressed."
Pan Xiaoxian sat up directly, left the bed, and put on his official uniform with the help of two maids.
What was written on the note was terrifying.
Just one sentence.
Prince Ning wants to rebel, and has already taken control of the arsenal, ready to attack the Forbidden City at any time.
Pan Xiaoxian put on his official uniform and hurried towards the palace, but was stopped when he reached the entrance of the Forbidden City.
The eunuch guarding the door said: "Master Pan, please don't let me in trouble. It's night now. Even if you are the nephew of the Queen Mother, I don't dare to let you in."
Pan Xiaoxian became impatient: "I have an urgent matter to see the Queen Mother, which involves the safety of the Forbidden City. I must go in tonight."
The incident of Prince Ning's rebellion was so shocking that he could not tell anyone except the Queen Mother.
First, he was worried that the news would be leaked and cause a commotion in the palace.
Second, there is no real evidence, just a piece of paper, which is suspected of slandering Prince Ning.
These are extraordinary times. If the news is leaked, Prince Ning can use being forced to rebel as an excuse.
When the time comes, justice will stand.
Even if Prince Ning is caught, he will at most be imprisoned in the clan's mansion, and it is impossible to kill Prince Ning's whole family.
Pan Xiaoxian was so anxious that he stood at the entrance of the palace and kept stamping his feet, but couldn't get in.
The eunuch saw Pan Xiaoxian's anxiety, so he could only stop him: "Even if I chop off my head, I don't dare to let you in at night. I hope Master Pan can understand this slave's difficulties."
The only person in the world who could make a eunuch call himself a slave, apart from the Queen Mother and the young emperor, was Pan Xiaoxian.
This term "servant" refers to oneself as a domestic slave.
Pan Xiaoxian was really anxious. He was running around in a hurry, but he could still only worry.
There is no way, the eunuch is unwilling to let him go, so he cannot enter the palace.
Pan Xiaoxian had other options. He found Zhang Fengyi and took him in, which would turn into breaking into the Forbidden City without authorization.
He is no different from Prince Ning, they are both rebelling.
Pan Xiaoxian had no choice but to go back and sat in the house without falling asleep all night.
Zhang Fengyi is still the same as before, she likes to go out at night to investigate cases and come back in the morning.
The case tonight is more urgent and I will be back before dawn.
Zhang Fengyi returned to the house and saw Pan Xiaoxian sitting at the door of the wing holding a knife. She was surprised: "Why are you sitting here if you don't sleep at night?"
Pan Xiaoxian was anxious: "I'm back. I've been waiting for you for a long time. I have something urgent that I need you to do."
Zhang Fengyi said: "I also have something urgent."
Pan Xiaoxian was stunned and asked nervously: "Is there anyone who wants to rebel?"
Zhang Fengyi was stunned when she heard this: "How do you know someone is going to rebel?"
The two subconsciously said a person's name at the same time.
"Prince Ning."
Pan Xiaoxian took out the note and threw it to Zhang Fengyi: "I was sleeping when someone threw me a note saying that Prince Ning was going to rebel. I wasn't sure whether it was true or not, so I wanted to go to the palace to find it. The Queen Mother discussed this matter, and now it seems to be true.”
Just based on a piece of paper, it was not certain that King Ning was going to rebel.
After Zhang Fengyi came back, she also said that Prince Ning would rebel.
This thing is true in 1989.
Zhang Fengyi took the note, looked at it carefully and picked it up. After looking at it for a long time, she couldn't see whose handwriting it was.
Strange to say.
Zhang Fengyi also took out a note: "I also received the same note. Judging from the handwriting, it should be written by the same person. It also contains the news that Prince Ning is going to rebel."
Both of them received the note, which was written by the same person.
This is strange and incredible.
Who leaked the news that Prince Ning was going to rebel?
Pan Xiaoxian asked: "What evidence did you find that Prince Ning is preparing to rebel?"
Zhang Fengyi told the results of tonight's investigation: "After I received the note, I immediately went to Prince Ning's mansion and found something unusual."
A piece of paper was spread on the table. On it was a map of Prince Ning's Mansion, with various information clearly marked.
Zhang Fengyi pointed to the warehouse and said: "Logically speaking, a prince's warehouse would only be filled with gold, silver and jewelry. The warehouse of Prince Ning's Mansion is exactly the opposite. There are a large number of armors and weapons in it."
It's just that he keeps weapons secretly. It can also be said that King Ning likes all kinds of magical weapons.
Hiding armor privately is different.
According to the regulations of the imperial court, anyone who secretly possesses ten pieces of armor will be arrested for rebellion.
It can be seen from the markings on the map that there are hundreds of armors placed in the warehouse of Prince Ning's Mansion.
Either he was arrested on the charge of rebellion, or Prince Ning was about to rebel.
Pan Xiaoxian was no longer anxious, and asked in a deep voice: "We must be fully prepared before Prince Ning rebels, lest he really invades the Forbidden City."
Just after saying this, Zhang Xifeng jumped over the wall and appeared: "The only news now is that my sister and I control more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the Forbidden City, which can temporarily ensure the safety of the Forbidden City."
As long as Prince Ning did not rush into the Forbidden City and capture the young emperor and the Queen Mother, there would still be room for maneuver.
Zhang Fengyi said worriedly: "The biggest trouble is that we don't know how many people King Ning has placed in the Forbidden Army. Once there is a rebellion, how many people in the Forbidden Army are willing to follow King Ning."
The situation of Prince Ning, the four most famous princes in the capital, is completely different from that of the other three princes.
Prince Ning was born in the border area and started fighting in the border areas as a teenager. Over the years, he accumulated a large number of loyal generals.
Over the years, King Ning intentionally or unintentionally arranged for generals to serve as military attachés of the Forbidden Army. No one knows how many people have been infiltrated.
When the late emperor was still alive, he did not worry about this matter at all. With the prestige of the late emperor, it was absolutely impossible for anyone to rebel.
But no one thought that the late emperor died of illness in his prime.
The queen mother and the young emperor were left orphaned and widowed.
King Ning arranged for many of his cronies to serve as military attaches to the Forbidden Army, and the situation was completely different.
As long as Prince Ning rushes into the Forbidden City and captures the Queen Mother and the young emperor, he can successfully ascend the throne.
All civil and military officials supported the young emperor, and they could also support King Ning.
After all, they are all members of the royal family.
Pan Xiaoxian said in a deep voice: "You go and mobilize your troops now, and quickly surround Prince Ning's Mansion before it's dawn."
The most effective way to put an end to Prince Ning's rebellion is to directly capture Prince Ning.
