Renzi Volume Chapter 91 Get out of the way, I'm going to show off!
When the group arrived at the Tiewang Mountain Palace, it was already Xu Zheng time on the second night. At this time, they also received news from the Ministry of War that the Xuanfu army had moved west to occupy Longhu Terrace and was marching towards Changping Prefecture.
marched forward, and also sent a vanguard force straight to Gonghua City.
Bad news also came one after another, that is, Zhang Chengyin in the Xuanfu army could no longer be contacted, and several of Zhang Chengyin's former confidants and guerrillas were nowhere to be seen, and there was no news.
Changping is to the northeast of Longhu Terrace. If you want to march towards Gonghua City and even the capital along the post road, you must not solve the threat of the Changping Prefecture garrison. Otherwise, the Changping garrison only needs to move sideways and can easily capture the rear of the eastward advancing army.
road.
Feng Ziying got the news that the three ministers of the cabinet had arrived at the palace as soon as possible. She had just taken a nap, and she couldn't sleep well under such circumstances, so she went to see Fang Congzhe and Qi Yongtai with black circles under her eyes.
A lot of people are similar to me.
No one had slept well in the past two days. Fortunately, the three ministers of the cabinet arrived. With a backbone, everyone felt relieved.
No matter what the final situation is, whether it is selecting and establishing a crown prince, confirming the supervision of the country, or even directly supporting Prince Yohitaka to the throne, there are always people who have the responsibility, and they will naturally bear the responsibility for making the decision.
A large number of people were outside Emperor Yonglong's palace, with various emotions. However, everyone also considered that Emperor Yonglong was still unconscious, and the imperial doctor was helpless. He could only force-feed some ginseng soup from his mouth, but after all,
How much can be put in and how effective it can be, no one can tell.
When Qi Yongtai saw Feng Ziying, he felt a little relieved. At least he finally had a caring person with whom he could discuss. Of course, Han Xu and Wang Yongguang were also there, but thinking of what Feng Ziying had repeatedly reminded him before, Qi Yongtai had to admit that
I still underestimated the vision and ability of my disciple.
Ziying had repeatedly reminded herself before that she should not underestimate the possibility of Niu Jizong's Xuanfu army marching eastward, and that she should pay attention to the courage, determination and careful deployment of Prince Yi Zhong's party. She proposed that Prince Yi Zhong had been planning for so many years, and if he did not take action,
Once the move is made, it will definitely be carefully planned. Some of the arrangements of the imperial court may have been detected and understood by Prince Yohitada, and they may not be able to fulfill their wishes.
Unexpectedly, Feng Ziying was unlucky to say that the emperor was assassinated and there was no news about Zhang Chengyin. Apparently, Niu Jizong found out about it and dealt with it. Now the situation is extremely bad.
In contrast, Han Xu and Wang Yongguang's thinking is still too traditional and conservative, and they may have no problem handling ordinary affairs. However, in the face of this critical juncture, Qi Yongtai hopes to hear some original and original suggestions to turn the tide, and obviously Han
Xu and Wang Yongguang do not have this ability. Only I, a disciple who often brings surprises, may be able to gain something different.
A side hall was chosen as the meeting place. In addition to the three ministers from the cabinet, those who stayed in the palace were Chai Ke, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Wang Yongguang, the left minister of the Ministry of Husband, Han Xu, the left minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Xu Dahua, the left minister of the Ministry of War.
There seems to be no objection to Feng Ziying's joining. It seems that in the past two days, everyone including Xu Dahua, who was not very fond of Feng Ziying, has naturally regarded her as a member who can participate in the discussion.
"Everyone, Lu Song has previously reported the preliminary investigation situation... There were two groups of assassins. The first group launched the attack. The emperor was assassinated, but it only injured his waist and hips, which was not enough to put the emperor into a coma.
But the emperor had a horse-falling process. It is estimated that he fell from the horse after being attacked, but it cannot be ruled out that he fell from the horse before being attacked..."
Fang Congzhe's introduction was slow but extremely cautious.
"Mr. Zhonghan, how do you say that he fell from his horse before the attack?" Han Xu raised suspicions. He was the minister of punishment, so he was reasonable in asking questions.
"According to the investigation by Lieutenant Lu Songlong, there was something wrong with the black horse that the emperor was riding. It was found that the black horse was too excited and agitated, as if it had been taken medicine. When checking the stable groom of the Hunting Garden, it was found that one person was missing..."
Fang Congzhe's introduction aroused everyone's shock. Xu Dahua couldn't wait to ask: "Have you ever found out the origin of the groom?"
"I haven't found out yet. I just know that this groom must have been in the hunting park more than ten years ago. I have never found anything unusual before..." Fang Congzhe shook his head.
Others were whispering again, and they all subconsciously thought of something. More than ten years ago, that meant that it might be time for Prince Yi Zhong to become the crown prince. At that time, the Supreme Emperor and Prince Yi Zhong often came to the hunting garden. Maybe this hunter
Could the people from the garden be from Prince Yoshitaka?
"In addition, the reason why the emperor fell into a coma has not yet been identified. According to the preliminary investigation by the imperial physician, in addition to the possibility that the emperor was hit on the head due to falling from a horse, there is another possibility that the emperor took an overdose of pills. In addition, according to the investigation
I also took medicine to purge fire and reduce noise, which resulted in insufficient qi and imbalance of yin and yang..."
Fang Congzhe briefly explained the relationship between the emperor's taking of elixirs and medicines for purging fire and reducing noise. It was not difficult for everyone here to understand, because there were many scholars and civil servants who liked alchemy, and it was mostly regarded as an elegant interest.
"That is the responsibility of Li Kezhuo and Cui Wensheng. Did these two people do it intentionally or did they really not know the properties of the medicine?" Han Xu was originally extremely opposed to the emperor taking the medicine. Qi Yongtai and he were both Dan Dao.
He was a staunch opponent of one sect, but could not stop the emperor from liking it.
"We can't make a conclusion now." Fang Congzhe saw that Qi Yongtai had a look of impatience on his face, and then he got to the point: "We can let Captain Long investigate further after these situations are revealed, but everyone knows that Xuanfu
The army is marching towards the capital city. Xihuan has also ordered You Shiqiang's army to go to Gonghua City to defend Gonghua City. This has been done very well and saved us a lot of time. In addition, Prince Zhonghui has also returned to Beijing to lead the capital camp to send troops to defend Gonghua City first.
, This can buy time for You Shigong’s army, but it depends on whether Gonghua City can be defended, otherwise the situation will still be quite serious..."
The side hall fell into silence.
Xu Dahua's sudden decisiveness was very surprising, but the three ministers in the cabinet knew that it was because of Feng Ziying's suggestion that Xu Dahua was so bold. Fang Congzhe and Li Tingji were surprised by Xu Dahua's behavior on the one hand, but on the other hand
I was also shocked by Feng Ziying's boldness and lobbying skills. It was not easy to persuade Xu Dahua.
King Zhonghui's performance was also surprising. Not long after he took office as the Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp, he actually dared to lead troops into battle in person? Before, everyone thought it was just the emperor's trust in King Zhonghui that allowed him to take this position, but now
It seems that he has underestimated this prince who has been idle for a long time. Could it be that he is really a man who is good at fighting?
But no matter what, it is a good thing that the Beijing camp dares to go out of the city to fight and buy time for the Ji Zhen army.
Fang Congzhe did not mention Zhang Chengyin's matter. There are various signs that the originally planned plan to betray Zhang Chengyin had failed. Niu Jizong had seen through it or had anticipated this move, so he used the trick and caught the court by surprise. Besides, this could only be shaken.
The morale of our own troops.
It was unexpected for the situation to develop like this, and the cabinet did not expect it to turn out like this. However, to let Prince Yoshitaka take over everything is unacceptable to the cabinet and the seven ministers.
It has not been long since the new cabinet and the seven ministers took office. If Prince Yoshitaka ascends the throne, I am afraid that a big reshuffle will be inevitable. The people in Nanjing are afraid that they will make their debut one by one, and they are waiting for this moment to come.
, everyone here is probably going to be kicked out, whether they are from the south of the Yangtze River or the north.
But is there any room for redemption now?
If you don't accept this reality, what can you do?
All the previous discussions between the three ministers of the cabinet on the road, including whether to establish a governor or not, and who would supervise the country, sounded like a joke.
Prince Yohitada may directly come to court next, but here we are still talking about establishing a governor to supervise the country. Isn't this a joke?
Before coming, the three ministers in the cabinet had imagined that the emperor's assassination was just an isolated incident. However, when they heard that the Xuanfu army had occupied Longhu Terrace and marched into Changping, this illusion was shattered. Fortunately, You Shigong's army attacked first.
King He Zhonghui unexpectedly led the capital camp to seize Gonghua City, retaining the last glimmer of hope.
If the Xuanfu army can be blocked at the front line of Gonghua City, there is still room for recovery. Once the Xuanfu army breaks through the defense lines of the Jingying and Jizhen armies and approaches the capital city, there will be no room for recovery.
They are all sensible people, and they all know that the possibility of blocking the Xuanfu army in Gonghua City is very small. Needless to say, the Jingying camp has little strength to fight against the Xuanfu elite. Look at the Santun camp, which was defeated by a bunch of people in the first battle.
The Inner Khalkhas were defeated and defeated, and now they are facing the much stronger Xuanfu army, and there is still a huge disparity in strength. Is there any chance?
You Shigong rushed over from Shunyi, was it too late?
Maybe now is the time to consider how to turn around in a dignified way. There are many people here who have this idea.
The resistance of the Jingying and Jizhen troops may win some respect and dignity from the court, but the final result seems difficult to change.
If the Xuanfu army really sweeps in, the Jizhen army will not be able to resist it.
Feng Ziying was also keenly aware of the change in the atmosphere in the palace. Fang Congzhe may not have had such intention, but he had been talking about the investigation of the emperor's assassination that was meaningless for a long time, and then he was actually very serious when talking about his own response measures.
Feng Ziying felt so lucky that she was speechless.
This attitude makes it clear that he is not optimistic about being able to withstand Prince Yitada's offensive. Such a pessimistic attitude would be fine if it were anyone else. You are the second minister of the cabinet, and Ye Xianggao is not around. You are the backbone of this group of people. How can you not
With such a weakling, don't you know that if Prince Yitada comes to power, you guys, the Jiangnan scholars in the DPRK, should be the first to be cleaned up?
If Prince Yi Zhong is a little smarter, he will know that no matter how much he dislikes the Northern Scholars and the Huguang Scholars, he still needs some people to decorate the appearance and balance all parties. Only the Jiangnan Scholars and the people in Nanjing are waiting till their necks are tied.
Stretched.
The atmosphere in the palace became more and more weird. Feng Ziying didn't want to show up so early, but Master Qi seemed to be thinking about something. Li Tingji was dumbfounded, and the others were even more preoccupied and unwilling to speak. If he didn't break the deadlock, maybe it would drag on.
Everyone felt that the situation was becoming more and more unbearable, and they were even about to lie down.
"Master, I think the situation is not that bad. The Xuanfu Army is not as powerful as imagined. They also have internal problems. Behind them are Shanxi Town and Datong Town. I believe the imperial court should make some arrangements.
Yes, as for Niu Jizong, although he is the governor of Xuanda, what he can actually control is the Xuanfu army, and even the Xuanfu army cannot be completely controlled by him..."
Feng Ziying knew that she had to come forward to show off and cheer up these people, otherwise once these people's mentality collapsed, she would have nothing to do but rely on her extraordinary abilities.
