Although for the sake of concealment, we could not bring too many troops, we divided the troops into three groups and marched at night. They only followed small roads and the marching speed was extremely fast. They would not be easily discovered. Even if they were discovered, by the time the news reached the capital, they would have already been
It's too late.
As for the three city gates Lei Jiu mentioned just now, the city gate guards have long been replaced by his people.
He has been setting up in Tokyo City for nearly twenty years. Needless to say, he has already completely infiltrated the former Imperial Palace Division, as well as the Horse Guards Division and Infantry Division Division. He has also infiltrated a lot of them at critical moments.
for his use.
And now is the critical moment.
Although there are hundreds of thousands of garrison troops in Tokyo City, most of them are stationed near Tokyo City. The number of troops in the city is only more than 200,000, most of which are forbidden troops, and Zhou Chen was previously the leader of the forbidden troops.
, although not as good as the Prime Minister of the Privy Council, it would be much more convenient if the main generals were replaced by one of our own people.
For this, he used all the skills he could use, including money to clear the way, god-level Yuelao, etc.
The palace changes, tonight!
Zhou Chen said goodbye to the worried Zhao Pan'er and his daughters, and directly led his troops into the imperial city. Following his order, the imperial troops who had surrendered to him immediately took action, killing generals who might be a threat, and quickly took control of most of the palace.
city.
When Zhou Chen led his troops into the palace city, the palace gate was already wide open. Coincidentally, there were also Imperial City Commissioners guarding tonight, and even more coincidentally, Gu Qianfan, the Imperial City Commissioner, was among them.
Zhou Chen was also very surprised when he saw Gu Qianfan.
Gu Qianfan was also surprised when he saw Zhou Chen approaching with a fierce temper, but at the same time he also looked a little relieved.
"As early as a few days ago, I discovered that there was a change in the guards in the palace. It turned out to be your arrangement, Lord Marquis. Are you trying to force the palace?"
Zhou Chen looked at Gu Qianfan silently. He still had a good impression of Gu Qianfan, and they had known each other for twenty years.
"Qianfan, I have no choice but to do it. If I don't take action, I will be the one who dies soon. I just want to live, so I can only resist."
After saying that, his expression turned grim and he stopped talking to Gu Qianfan. With a wave of his hand, a large number of forbidden troops immediately surrounded Gu Qianfan.
Gu Qianfan's eyes were complicated, but he finally dropped his weapon and surrendered silently.
The guards in the palace were basically rebellious. Even if he resisted, he would only be seeking death.
In the past few years, he has also lost confidence in this court. If Zhou Chen succeeds, maybe...
Zhou Chen didn't know what Gu Qianfan was thinking, so he directly led his troops into the harem.
…………
The next day, news of the palace coup spread throughout the city of Tokyo. Many people discovered the problem at night, but the inner city was full of murderous soldiers. Even the officials were imprisoned in the mansion by the imperial army and were not allowed to go out.
.
It wasn't until the next morning that news came out from the palace that the official Zhao Zhen had died of a serious illness. It was passed that the one-year-old prince Zhao Xi was named King of Qin, Privy Envoy, and Ping Zhangshi under Tong Zhongshu's family.
, integrating political affairs and military power...
As soon as this decree came out, it immediately caused an uproar. All civil and military officials were furious. But before they could take any action, Zhou Chen, who had already taken control of the capital, had already controlled all these officials, leaving only those who were willing to do so.
Officials loyal to him dominate political affairs.
Although Zhou Chen has tried his best to control the capital, the situation has developed too badly. Countless people who claim to be loyal want to overthrow Zhou Chen and spread the news to the outside world, hoping that King Qin's army will arrive and get rid of Zhou Chen, who is responsible for the rebellion.
The rebellious minister.
There were hundreds of thousands of Song troops guarding around Bianjing City. After receiving the news, they immediately formed King Qin's Division as quickly as possible and marched towards Tokyo City.
Zhou Chen conquered the imperial army inside the capital by killing them one after another, and finally took control of the capital. He still had nearly 200,000 men available, so he was not worried at all when facing King Qin's army and defended the city.
It was not until half a month later that the border troops he had arranged long ago rushed to help and defeated King Qin's army in one fell swoop, completely stabilizing the situation.
…………
In 1043 AD, Emperor Zen of the Song Dynasty was located in Qin King Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Bianjing City. His country was named "Yan" and his reign was named Xinghua.
Zhou Chen named his wife Zhao Pan'er the queen, his eldest son Zhou Ye as the prince, his second son as the king of Zhao, the prince Zhou Huan as the king of Yan, and the prince Zhou Bai as the king of Chu...
Gao Hui of the Gao family was named Concubine Hui, Song Yinzhang of the Song family was conferred the title of Concubine De, and Zhang Haohao of the Zhang family was conferred the title of Concubine Li.
In the first year of Xinghua, the Yan Kingdom was basically in civil strife. Many people in the original Song Dynasty were dissatisfied with Zhou Chen's proclaimed emperor and revolted. At the same time, the children of the Zhao family of the Song Dynasty also rose up against Yan. The entire Central Plains area,
They are all in turmoil.
But Zhou Chen sat in Bianjing, commanded the battle, and eliminated these resistance forces one by one, especially the Zhao family, and he would kill them all and never tolerate them.
Now that he has become the emperor, Zhou Chen will never be lenient. He will quickly deal with anyone and anything that threatens his rule.
In order to stabilize the government, Zhou Chen had to marry various major forces and marry many concubines, including Meng's daughter, etc.
By the third year of Xinghua, the internal turmoil in Yan Kingdom had basically been eliminated. Only a few forces were still stubbornly resisting and fighting against the enemy, but they could no longer shake the world situation.
During the civil war in Yan, some foreign countries took advantage of the chaos to invade, but because the Liao Kingdom had already been crippled by Zhou Chen, the remaining small foreign countries were not enough to pose much of a threat to the Yan Kingdom, and they were quickly subdued.
Border chaos.
In the fifth year of Xinghua's reign, Zhou Chen moved his capital to Yanjing. Yanjing was the capital of the Liao Kingdom, Xijin Prefecture. It was captured by Zhou Chen, so he moved his capital here to facilitate his defense against the Liao Kingdom.
After ten years of prosperity, the Yan Kingdom was completely rooted in the hearts of the people. After being troubled by civil wars and foreign wars, the Yan Kingdom slowly restored its national strength. The world gradually became peaceful and peaceful, and all the people returned home.
From then on, the world only knew Emperor Zhou Chen of the Great Yan Dynasty, and gradually forgot about the Zhao family of the Great Song Dynasty in the past.
The plot of ancient politics is a mess. I’m really not very good at it. I overestimated myself and burned out too many brain cells. I can only do this. In the next world, I’ll write about urban genres...
