Prince Ning was suddenly dumbfounded. After searching for a long time, he could not find the shadow of Wang Jingshan, who was clearly next to him just now.
"Someone is coming."
Prince Ning was anxious: "Go and find Wang Jingshan quickly."
The rebellion cannot be delayed. The sooner we enter the Forbidden City, the better.
The longer you delay, the lower the chance of success.
Prince Ning was still waiting for Wang Jingshan's arrangement, opened the arsenal, took out the armor and weapons inside and entered the Forbidden City.
As a result, Wang Jingshan suddenly disappeared.
King Ning took his generals and searched for Wang Jingshan, who had already gone to the palace.
Pan Xiaoxian couldn't sit still anymore, he made his plea again and again, and finally got the Queen Mother's consent.
You can ask him to guard the gates of the Forbidden City.
As soon as Pan Xiaoxian went out, he bumped into Wang Jingshan running over, and the two almost collided.
Wang Jingshan stopped, looked at Pan Xiaoxian who was very close, and suddenly knelt on the ground: "The last general is Wang Jingshan who is guarding the arsenal. He was threatened by King Ning and had to follow the rebellion. The last general's heart has always been towards the court. Don’t dare to rebel.”
Pan Xiaoxian was stunned.
He ran out of the hall and was still thinking about how to overcome this difficulty when he met Wang Jingshan who was guarding the arsenal.
Pan Xiaoxian quickly walked over and held Wang Jingshan's arm: "What's the situation outside?"
Wang Jingshan still spoke to himself: "The general's wife, children, and children are all in the hands of Prince Ning, so he has no choice but to rebel. Please forgive me, Mr. Pan."
Pan Xiaoxian was very anxious. When he saw that he refused to tell the situation outside, he directly pulled Wang Jingshan towards the main hall.
Wang Jingshan was still clarifying his relationship: "The notes received by Mr. Pan and Zhang Fengyi were written by the general. The purpose is to protect His Majesty's empire."
When Pan Xiaoxian heard the note he wrote, he suddenly felt less anxious. It seemed that Wang Jingshan was a loyal minister and was unwilling to follow King Ning in rebellion.
The Queen Mother saw Pan Xiaoxian who had gone out and came back. When she was about to speak, she found someone else behind her.
The Queen Mother recognized the man at a glance as Wang Jingshan, who was guarding the arsenal.
Wang Jingshan knelt on the ground again: "To the Queen Mother, the general has made arrangements and ordered his soldiers and horses to guard the arsenal. As long as we drag King Ning to the arsenal, we may be able to wipe out this attack." rebel."
The Queen Mother's reaction was the same as Pan Xiaoxian's. She was stunned, and quickly said anxiously: "Are you sure that the soldiers and horses in the arsenal will not defect to Prince Ning."
This issue is critical. Whoever controls the arsenal can determine the direction of this rebellion.
As long as she can hold on to her arsenal, the Queen Mother is confident that she can put down this rebellion.
Wang Jingshan said with certainty: "The general has served as a general guarding the arsenal for more than ten years. All the soldiers and horses under his command are his own. I fought at the border with the general."
Just saying that he is one of his own is not enough for the Queen Mother to believe him.
Wang Jingshan once again told a shocking news: "The last general is a member of the Jin Yiwei. He has been with the late emperor for many years. When the late emperor was still a prince, he was a guard in the palace."
The Queen Mother was completely relieved when she heard the words "The guards in the palace."
"Ha ha."
Pan Xiaoxian laughed out loud: "So you are an old minister of the late emperor. It seems that the late emperor had anticipated this day and made arrangements in advance."
The Queen Mother felt confident: "Pan Xiaoxian... no... I also followed, and immediately led all the soldiers and horses in the palace to the vicinity of the arsenal to block King Ning's retreat. "
Pan Xiaoxian took the soldiers and horses to the arsenal alone, which would definitely draw away a large number of manpower, causing the Forbidden City to become empty.
In order to prevent unexpected situations, the Queen Mother could rush into the Forbidden City and arrest people if there was a sudden attack nearby.
The Queen Mother prepared to take the young emperor with her and follow Fan Jin to the arsenal to personally suppress King Ning's rebellion.
In addition, if the little emperor followed, the officers and soldiers in the palace would not be bewitched by King Ning, and would only serve the palace loyally.
Pan Xiaoxian's mood became agitated: "Auntie, just wait, I will definitely capture Prince Ning and kneel before His Majesty."
"good!"
The little emperor clapped his hands and cheered, and the tension on his face disappeared a lot: "I am waiting for my cousin to capture Prince Ning."
The Queen Mother arranged for Pan Xiaoxian to lead all the soldiers and horses to capture King Ning, taking a lot of risks because he had never led troops in a war.
The credit for putting down the rebellion was too great.
It's enough to award a title.
The Queen Mother didn't want to give the credit to others, so she just took advantage of this opportunity to reward Pan Xiaoxian with a title.
Even though it was a bit risky, the Queen Mother still made a decision and prepared to arrange for Pan Xiaoxian to put down the rebellion.
Pan Xiaoxian has never fought in a war, but he understands one thing.
Cannot be micromanaged.
Let the experts do the work. Pan Xiaoxian is only responsible for watching and being a mascot.
The troops and horses in the Forbidden City were led by four commanders in total.
Pan Xiaoxian directly issued the order: "You have also heard what Wang Jingshan said. This rebellion cannot cause much trouble. The rest is to share the credit."
Several commanders were all excited, and they were all gearing up, preparing to lead their soldiers and horses to grab the second largest achievement.
The biggest credit must go to Pan Xiaoxian.
Pan Xiaoxian has the support of the Queen Mother, and no one can compete with him.
However, the second greatest achievement of personally capturing Prince Ning was enough for several commanders.
The four commanders quickly expressed their loyalty.
"Don't worry, Mr. Pan, the general will not disappoint the expectations of the Queen Mother and Her Majesty, and will definitely fight bloody battles."
"All the soldiers and horses under the general's command are dead, and they will not retreat. We must put down this rebellion."
"The general will definitely capture Prince Ning with his own hands and hand him over to His Majesty."
The Queen Mother couldn't help but nodded, satisfied with Pan Xiaoxian's handling. It was most taboo for an outsider to command an expert in anything.
Pan Xiaoxian completely delegated power and handed over the suppression of the rebellion to a few commanders, which was a wise decision.
Pan Xiaoxian, surrounded by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, left the Forbidden City in a mighty manner, leaving not a single soldier behind.
All left.
The Queen Mother and the young emperor followed the army. All the soldiers and horses in the Forbidden City had left, so there was no reason to stay.
If she were not worried that someone among the eunuchs had an affair with Prince Ning, the Queen Mother would have arranged for a large number of eunuchs to follow behind with swords.
It wasn't until Pan Xiaoxian entered the palace that he learned about Prince Ning's rebellion.
Proved one thing.
The East Factory and the West Factory could no longer be trusted, and the factory's referendum turned to King Ning.
Otherwise, with the capabilities of Dongchang and Xichang, they would have found out that Prince Ning was going to rebel.
"kill!"
"Go in!"
"We must open the arsenal!"
There was already a river of blood at the entrance of the arsenal. Prince Ning searched for a long time but couldn't find Wang Jingshan, so he knew he couldn't drag it on any longer.
King Ning issued the order and immediately began to storm the arsenal.
Pan Xiaoxian rushed to the vicinity of the arsenal and saw that King Ning was leading his imperial army to attack the arsenal.
