Everyone left one after another, Zhang Xiaowu stopped Guan Xiang again, and said to him alone: "The Liyang Marquis family has countless assets, and they took the opportunity to seize them all. Only his family's money is enough to rebuild the palace, so you have to investigate carefully.
We must find Marquis Liyang's property. If he invests money in someone's business, and whoever takes his money is considered a traitor and can be taken away as well."
Guan Xiang smiled and said, "I'm good at this, but it would be better if Su Boling were here."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "You write to him and ask him to return to Longdu quickly. I need him to make money for me and the emperor."
"good."
After Guan Xiang left, only Wu Song remained next to him. Zhang Xiaowu finally sat down again to rest for a while. He lowered his head and remained silent for a long time before raising his head and asking, "Is there anything else you need to add?"
Wu Song said: "Yes, order the Ghost Guards to abandon the wooden city and immediately go to the King of Qin, order Shen Lindong to lead the troops of Youzhou Army to the King of Qin, order Zu Gongmao to lead the troops to the King of Qin, and order Hu Li to lead the troops of the Xue Guard to immediately go to the King of Qin."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Could it be that you thought——"
Wu Song said: "It is necessary to be on guard against others. We still don't know who is behind the scenes. If it is really Uncle Du Shan, that would be bad."
"We can't wait, we have to take the initiative." Zhang Xiaowu said, "Only blood can scare them now."
Wusong smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, we are ghost guards from the north of the Great Wall. Who can obey the border troops when they enter the capital? Especially the people of Longdu who have their eyes above their heads."
Zhang Xiaowu was surprised. He suddenly thought that there was a person in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" who had almost the same experience as him. He was not the traitor Cao Cao, but Dong Zhuo, the leader of the Xiliang Army. At that time, Dong Zhuo was also dedicated to protecting the Han Dynasty, and compared to Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo never
I never thought about becoming a king or having descendants become emperors, but why is Dong Zhuo so lowly evaluated in history?
"Am I Dong Zhuo in time travel?" Zhang Xiaowu laughed at himself, but Dong Zhuo had 100,000 Xiliang cavalry under his command, and he only had 7,000 silver-clad guards. If he compared himself to Dong Zhuo, he would be exalting himself.
Not even one-tenth as good as Mr. Dong.
Zhang Xiaowu immediately evaluated his own strength and whether he could support the young master. The four imperial armies around Longdu still had 70,000 troops. Although the army set off, there were still many defenders left in the barracks. In view of the fact that Xuanwu was
The whole army of the legion was destroyed in the Huashu River. The legion will leave behind 10,000 defenders as a foundation for reconstruction in future legion expeditions. This includes 10,000 white tiger defenders, 10,000 Suzaku defenders, 30,000 Xuanwu defenders, and 20,000 Qinglong defenders.
military.
The Forbidden Army has always remained neutral in the battle for the crown prince and has never favored any heir. Therefore, most of the Forbidden Army will not participate in the internal fighting, including the White Tiger Army and the Suzaku Army. Judging from the attitude of the Blue Dragon Army, the internal fighting of the Green Dragon Army
Undecided, there were those who supported the coup and those who opposed it, so Helan
Zongcai was so conflicted that he had second thoughts after entering the palace, and then led his army out of the palace. Moreover, most of the Qinglong Army were recruits, and the veterans who played the role of pillars had a deep relationship with him. The Qinglong Army should not stand on the enemy's side.
Over there, the most uncertain thing about the weekend is the Xuanwu Army, and this is related to Bian Wen, the leader of the Xuanwu Army.
Zhang Xiaowu asked Wu Song who was the most familiar with the people and things in Longdu. Wu Song thought for a while and said that besides Zhang Kuan, it was Gu Yong's father Yanyang Hou Gu Chuang. Moreover, the Gu family mainly engaged in business. Although they had many properties, they only had land.
Very few, so the re-examination of the gentry's land by Emperor Dade would not harm the Gu family, so the Gu family should not be involved in this coup. Moreover, after Emperor Dade forgave the Gu family, he also allowed the Gu family to enter the Senate again.
The Gu family should support Emperor Dade.
"Please quickly invite Marquis Yanyang to enter the palace."
"Here."
While the two were talking, Wang Yijin came with some food. Although the imperial dining room in the harem was also burned down, the imperial dining room was the place where the emperor and his concubines cooked, and the maids and eunuchs cooked and ate in the small kitchen.
Also, it’s just what everyone eats on weekdays
It was not good. Zhang Xiaowu ate the same food as the palace maids and eunuchs. Although it was not very delicious, it satisfied his hunger. He ate five bowls of rice in one go to replenish his physical strength, but his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and his body finally
Feeling a little sleepy.
"I'll take a nap, and you can teach me anything important." Zhang Xiaowu told Wu Song.
Wu Song nodded, and then asked everyone not to disturb Zhang Xiaowu. He led everyone to handle official affairs inside and outside the palace, including screening out the remnants of the rebels hiding in the palace.
Most of the rebels either escaped or hid, and some even disguised themselves as eunuchs and infiltrated among them. However, these people were also unlucky. The eunuchs rarely saw the sun all day long and were particularly white and tender, and their skin was delicate due to castration. These were hidden in the little eunuchs.
The rebels inside were quickly picked out.
Wusong immediately interrogated the rebels, and they confessed everything in detail without being tortured. Wusong learned from this that the place where they usually trained was the manor of Liyang Houfu's family in Mishan County. A manor like this, Liyang
There are still seven or eight places in the Yanghou family. The people who helped Liyanghou train them seemed to be officers and soldiers, but they never revealed their identities, so no one knew who they were and why they wanted to train them.
"We always thought that we were new recruits of the Forbidden Army. After training in the future, we would join the major legions of the Forbidden Army. We are not rebels." They said, "How could we have thought that we would rebel and kill the emperor? We would wait until we entered the palace.
We knew we wanted to kill Hun Jun. Officials said that we had already participated in the rebellion, and we would either kill Hun Jun or commit suicide, so we followed them and made a big mistake."
Wu Song asked: "If I give you a chance, are you willing to surrender to the imperial court and His Majesty?"
"Of course we do." The rebels immediately shouted, "We are willing to perform meritorious service and eliminate the rebels."
Wu Song smiled and nodded, thinking about how to use these rebels. Wang Huaili reported that a total of 697 rebel corpses had been cleared, and a total of 173 rebels died under the star-catching platform.
, these people were all killed by Zhang Xiaowu alone. Everyone took a breath of cold air and couldn't help but say: "The general is really a god."
"Not to mention one hundred and seventy-three people, there are one hundred and seventy-three pigs and one hundred and seventy-three sheep. If you want to kill them, you will have to tire them to death," Bao Yin said.
Wu Song said: "It was announced to the outside world that the general killed 346 rebels on the star-catching platform alone, tried to protect His Majesty's holy body, and hung the corpses of 364 rebels on the wall of the imperial city.
, to intimidate all parties.”
Kang Tianen, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: "At this moment, it is necessary to build up the general's prestige. If the general can be built to become the most loyal and brave Hejian Marquis in the world, his disadvantage of being young can be offset. Perhaps,
We can also make the people think that a country can be without a king, but it cannot be without Zhang Xiaowu for a day!"
