Yang Ming has a special status, so being a matchmaker is just a matter of time.
During this period, Yang Ming found an excuse to leave, leaving Pei Shuying present to help Li and Pei get in touch with each other, because Jiancheng acted very dull in front of others and could not speak at all.
Man, I brought him out for you, and Pei Xi probably knows his intentions. After returning, he will definitely mention it to Pei Yun, but whether he can succeed in the end depends on Li Jiancheng himself.
Pei Shuying also worked very hard. In the following days, she would often bring Pei Xi out to create opportunities for Li Jiancheng to meet.
Late one night at the end of May, Xu Jing knocked on Yang Ming's door.
The sound was very urgent, something big must have happened.
Yang Ming was led by Xu Jing to the guest room and met Yang Xuangan who had arrived late at night.
"what happened?"
Yang Xuangan panicked and said: "Father has a letter sent from Renshou Palace, instructing His Highness to lead troops to Renshou Palace immediately, otherwise it will be too late."
problem occurs!
Yang Ming was shocked.
Leading troops to Renshou Palace is no joke. According to historical records, grandfather Yang Jian died in August. It is not yet June yet. Could it be that he has already passed away?
If he hadn't died, Yang Su would not have allowed himself to lead his troops there. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a rebellion?
What is going on?
Yang Ming said anxiously: "Yue Gong only said this and nothing else?"
Yang Xuangan shook his head and said: "No, the letter was sent by my father's trusted entourage. It is an oral message. It is absolutely reliable and cannot be faked."
"I just want you to bring a letter to me?" Yang Ming asked.
Yang Xuangan nodded: "In the message, only His Highness was mentioned."
When sending a message, only a rough outline is always given. Otherwise, if the messenger knows everything, everything will be lost if something goes wrong.
Yang Ming frowned and said nothing. He was struggling in his heart.
He didn't know anything about what happened in Renshou Palace. If he led the troops there rashly, and his grandfather was safe and sound, he would be charged with forcing the palace, which was a capital crime.
But having said that, if his grandfather Yang Jian is really dying, then according to historical records, Liu Shuhui summoned the deposed prince Yang Yong to the Renshou Palace according to the order, intending to depose Yang Guang and restore Yang Yong to the throne.
After Yang Ming pondered for a moment, he ordered:
"Gather the men and follow me into the palace."
Half an hour later, Yang Ming rushed to Daxing Palace with Chen Kui, Pang Niu and other 1,500 royal troops.
He also sent people to notify Pei Ju, Yu Wenshu, Guo Yan, Zhang Heng and others to come to the East Palace to meet them immediately.
Outside the Zhuque Gate, all the royal palace's activities stopped, and Yang Ming only brought Pang Niu and more than 20 people into the palace.
In the current palace, both the left and right Yulin guards have gone to Renshou Palace, and the ones guarding the imperial city are Yang Jian's left guard, Pei Ju's left guard, and the left and right guards of the East Palace. Therefore, there is no problem with Yang Ming's safety here.
.
The mother-in-law, Xiao, is not in the East Palace at the moment. Instead, she and her eldest son, Yang Zhao, went to the Renshou Palace with their father to attend to his illness.
If Liu Shuzhen wanted to start an uprising in Renshou Palace at this time, it would be a disaster for their family.
Yang Ming felt more and more that the situation was not good.
As soon as he entered the East Palace, Yang Ming bumped into Prince Xian Ma Liupin. After the latter saw Yang Ming, he rushed towards him as if he was grasping a life-saving straw.
"Your Highness, the deposed Prince Yong was just taken away by Zuo Yulin Guards. They said that Yang Yong was summoned to Renshou Palace to serve his illness. I have also seen the imperial edict."
At this moment, Yang Ming's doubts were all gone, something really happened.
The reason why he went straight to the East Palace was because Yang Yong was imprisoned here. As long as he kept an eye on Yang Yong, Liu Shu would not dare to harm his father and the others.
If Yang Yong is lost, my father's life will be in danger.
Damn it, Liu Shu, that bastard, Yang Ming asked: "Go to Xuanwu Gate?"
"Yes, I have just left less than two minutes ago, and I have already sent someone to inform you," Liu Pin panicked, and he also realized that something was wrong.
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, a source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp]
Xuanwu Gate is located in the northernmost part of Daxing Palace. It is the fastest route out of the palace. When the prince entered Daxing Palace to meet the Holy Spirit, he also went out from Zhide Gate in the north of the East Palace, and then went around Xuanwu Gate into Daxing Palace.
Therefore, in history, Li Jiancheng would have trouble at Xuanwu Gate, because this is the only way for the prince to meet the emperor.
Yang Ming didn't have time to think too much and said quickly: "As soon as Pei Juyu Wenshu arrives, let them lead troops to Renshou Palace immediately."
Having said that, Yang Ming, as the crown prince's legitimate son, immediately ordered the left and right guards of the East Palace to lead the troops.
Deploying troops is not an easy task, especially if things happen in a hurry. The total number of left and right guards is 10,000. It takes time to gather these people.
Therefore, Yang Ming could only urgently summon his troops to the palace. It happened that the left guard general on duty tonight was Li Yuan, so he integrated them into a cavalry of 6,000 people. Under the leadership of Yang Ming, he urgently From Xuanwu Gate, take the shortest road, pack lightly and rush to Renshou Palace.
Yang Ming's excuse for deceiving Li Yuan was very simple. Someone had kidnapped the deposed prince Yong. If he had said that he was leading the troops to Renshou Palace, Li Yuan would not have the guts to follow him.
Don't think about catching up with Yang Yong,
Once Yang Yong leaves Daxing Palace, he must go to Renshou Palace as quickly as possible.
All Yang Ming could do was to take shortcuts and intercept the person before they arrived at Renshou Palace.
Fortunately, in the villages and towns outside Renshou Palace, Yang Guang had secretly deployed 3,000 men a few months ago to prepare for any unexpected events. As long as he brought the news to this secret force first, he would definitely be able to stop Yang Yong.
Yang Ming selected twenty fast horses from the team and ordered them to take the nearest path as quickly as possible and quickly notify the group of people outside Renshou Palace.
When Pei Ju and others rushed to the East Palace, they also realized that something was wrong.
Guo Yan said in a deep voice: "Yang Yong was taken away, which means something happened to the prince. Changes may have occurred in Renshou Palace. Your Highness has taken away six thousand guards, but the total number of guards in Renshou Palace is between forty thousand. Your Highness This kind of person is like a mantis trying to block a car."
Yu Wenshu also said in a deep voice: "My Zuowu Hou Mansion currently has less than 6,000 people in the capital. With the left and right guards, that's 12,000. Mr. Pei, you have to think of a way."
"Zuo Wuwei doesn't have enough manpower in the capital," Pei Ju frowned and looked at Liu Pin: "Now there are more soldiers stationed in the capital, which guard has more people?"
Liu Pindao: "The number of people in Duke Taiping's Zuo Lingjun Mansion is around eight thousand."
"Long live Shi? That'll be easy," Pei Ju nodded.
Yang Guang and Yang Ming were not here, and Pei Ju was the one who made the decision:
"Everyone, this is a great event. You and I should try our best to summon Shi Wansui to the palace immediately and order him to summon the left leader's military office. Notify Xue Shixiong that the Supreme Being has been kidnapped by Liu Shu and order him to immediately summon the right leader's military office."
Xue Shixiong is Yang Jian's man. In the absence of Yang Ming, Pei Ju can't control him and can only deceive him.
Pei Ju's decision was tantamount to sinking the boat. He guessed that something had happened to Yang Jian. If nothing happened to Yang Jian, they would have no choice but to force him into the palace, otherwise they would all be doomed.
This is a last resort choice. Supreme Yang Jian has been seriously ill for half a year. Pei Ju has already seen that Yang Jian is about to die. So at this time, he will choose to side with Prince Yang Guang. After all, Yang Guang is the crown prince and the future throne. heir.
Success or failure depends on this.
Next, each prepares to mobilize troops,
The large camps of the Twelve Guards Mansion are located around the Jingzhao area and cannot be mobilized in a short time.
Therefore, Pei Ju and others could only mobilize the capital's defense.
Zuowei Mansion, Zuowu Wei Mansion, Zuo Wuhou Mansion, and the Left and Right Leading Army Mansions, a total of five armies, totaling 31,000 people, were assembled at 10:00 the next morning.
Commander-in-chief Yu Wenshu, in the name of defeating the traitor Liu Shu and protected by King Qin, marched to Renshou Palace in a mighty manner.
But Yang Ming chased him from night to day, and didn't see Yang Yong's shadow until noon.
He didn't dare to stop. This important matter of life did not allow him to neglect at all.
He also knew that Yang Yong would not stop, because this was Yang Yong's last chance.
The 6,000 men and cavalry brought out by Yang Ming took away almost half of the horses in Daxing Palace.
It was more than two hundred miles from Daxing City to Renshou Palace in the north of Qizhou. After chasing for so long, we were already exhausted.
Li Yuan couldn't stand it any longer and almost fell off his horse several times. He also realized, isn't this the road to Renshou Palace? He asked Yang Ming several times, but Yang Ming always used the excuse that he found traces of the cavalry along the way. He was following this. Following the traces.
Although Li Yuan was confused, he didn't ask any more questions.
The faces of the people Yang Ming led were all full of exhaustion. As a last resort, Yang Ming had to reduce the number of people again, select 500 of them, carry only sabers, and continue on their way.
But the speed is definitely not as good as leaving the city.
Yang Ming knew that no matter how anxious he was, when his manpower was exhausted, his horsepower would not be able to keep up.
In desperation, I had to take a temporary break for half an hour.
...
Renshou Palace,
Yang Guang and his wife, as well as their eldest son Yang Zhao, are currently under house arrest in the Forbidden Garden, and the guards he brought with him have also been controlled.
Dou Kang, the right-wing general of Lin Wei, is currently being trained in the palace where Yang Guang is.
"Daosheng (characterized by Dou Kang) Hutu!"
Yang Guang anxiously paced back and forth in the palace, angrily yelling: "What qualifications does that bitch Chen have to convey the emperor's will? How could you listen to a woman and put Gu Gu under house arrest?"
Dou Kang is Yang Jian's nephew and Yang Guang's cousin.
He has been here to appease Yang Guang for a long time. In fact, the order he received was to protect the Crown Prince Yang Guang's family, but one of the orders was that they were not allowed to wander around the Renshou Palace.
Basically equivalent to house arrest.
As for why, Dou Kang didn't know. The imperial edict was given to him by Mrs. Chen of Xuanhua. It was not the kind of imperial edict with a scroll, but a piece of letter paper with a big seal. However, Dou Kang recognized Yang Jian's handwriting.
It was written by Yang Jian himself.
Otherwise, he would not have the guts to imprison Yang Guang.
"Your Majesty, please be patient. When the Supreme Being wakes up, I will go and seek His Majesty's instructions. I think it's nothing major, so Your Majesty, please wait."
"Where is Yang Zhiji? What is he doing?" Yang Guang asked angrily.
Cai Wang Yang Zhiji was General Zuoyu Linwei and Yang Jian's nephew.
Dou Kang looked confused: "I really don't know this."
Yang Guang stepped forward, grabbed Fang's clothes and roared:
"Are you stupid? How come King Wei is so ill at this time and can't get out of bed? Someone is clearly causing trouble. I want to see my father. You should go to the Renshou Palace to ask your father for instructions now."
Dou Kang was grabbed by Yang Guang's collar, and his whole body was almost lifted up. He said with a depressed look:
"The Supreme Being is sleeping soundly, don't dare disturb him."
"I fucked your mother, you are such a waste!" Yang Guang punched Dou Kang in the chest, and the latter backed away continuously.
Even Yang Guang cursed because he knew that his current situation was very unfavorable.
My mother? My mother is your aunt. Dou Kang had no choice but to agree perfunctorily and left the hall.
Anyway, he didn't dare to disturb Yang Jian until he woke up.
The Supreme Being has been seriously ill recently and had a hard time sleeping through the night, but he didn't have the guts to wake him up.
What's more, there are three ladies and several chamberlains serving in Renshou Hall. If anything happens, they will naturally call him.
On the other side, Yang Su was also under house arrest, and the person responsible for guarding him was Cai Wang Yang Zhiji.
However, Yang Su didn't have any nonsense with the other party, and just stayed alone in the room quietly.
The news should be sent out, and the success or failure will be a matter of today and tomorrow.
It was useless to be anxious. The reason why he only passed the oral message to Yang Ming was because everyone else had a way out, but Yang Ming did not. Therefore, only Yang Ming could react as quickly as possible.
"Huh..." Yang Su exhaled a long breath,
He is not afraid of death, but he doesn't want to die like this.
Because he died like this, he was bound to be accused of a huge crime, and Yang Suyou would not have even a few good words for him in the history books of future generations.
I want to be honored throughout my life, and I don’t want to leave an eternal reputation behind me.
