Eight hundred and tenth chapter everyone is in danger
Dalong Palace Qinzheng Hall.
Li Ye looked at the silent civil and military officials under the dragon platform with a heavy expression.
"It's been seven days, seven days since I received the message from Mr. Yun Aiqing. Now my cousin Liu Chengzhi is leading more than 200,000 invincible unparalleled cavalry to return to the court.
In less than half a month, he can rush back to Yingzhou, and in less than two months, he may enter the capital.
You still can't come up with an emergency plan before Yun Lao Aiqing and the others rush back to northern Xinjiang?
Is there no other way but to send the Imperial Guard out to the border?"
All the officials looked at each other, held the Chao Hut and lowered their heads silently.
On the way to Beijing, Wang Yu was assassinated in Fengyundu. The secret behind the scenes was directed at the imperial court. The matter continued to ferment so fiercely that by the time they tried their best to suppress it, it was already too late.
Now it is not an exaggeration to say that people all over the world are aware of this matter.
Nowadays, documents from various government offices are flying towards the Six Ministries like snowflakes, and the people are waiting to see how the court will deal with it.
The people may not rebel or anything, but it is inevitable that the court will lose popular support.
Especially for the people of the 27th Prefecture in Northern Xinjiang, the prestige of the imperial court may have long been gone.
I was already very busy with this matter, but I didn't expect that the story of King Bingjian would reach the ears of the soldiers of the Northern Expedition outside the pass.
Then he received a message from King Zhongwu Yunyang, and the Six Guards of the New Army led 200,000 cavalry on the order of the king, giving up the unification of the world at their fingertips and rushing back to the country.
But King Bingjian has passed away, how can he send a letter to the generals of the Six Guards under his command?
After several discussions, the officials finally came to a specious conclusion, that is, Liu Chengzhi, the crown prince of Bingjian, led the troops to evacuate in the name of his false father.
Yunyang himself didn't know what happened behind the imperial court, so the content of the letter was naturally too general.
However, for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty in the court, it no longer made much difference who led the troops back.
We haven't even discussed how to express the court's attitude to the people about the king's side by side. Now that there is such a news that affects the peace of the world, I feel even more exhausted mentally and mentally.
I can only sigh deeply and secretly that one wave of unrest has arisen again and again.
appease?
But how can we appease him? It may be the revenge of the imperial court for killing his father!
To be promoted to a higher rank? After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince inherited the throne, King Bingjian was already below the emperor and above ten thousand people. How could he be promoted to a higher rank? Should His Majesty be asked to abdicate the throne in favor of a worthy person?
This is simply a no-brainer.
Xia Gongming stood up silently and sighed quietly.
"Your Majesty, in addition to dispatching the imperial army, we can beware of Old Marshal Yun and the others in case they are unable to come back in time to stop the sudden change of the Crown Prince. They can only rely on the guards on the left and right of the state capitals. Facing the famous Six Guards of the new army, we can only rely on them.
I'm afraid that once they met, they would be timid before fighting and surrender without a fight.
The most important thing is how to come up with a charter to give an explanation to Prince Bingbian after preventing him from raising troops.
Especially the more than 200,000 elite soldiers of the Six Guards of the New Army, they must be given an explanation.
Since they formed the army, they have been serving under King Bingjian. From the general to the soldiers, they are all disciples of King Bingjian.
If we don't give them an explanation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to calm down the matter."
"But the tiger talisman that commands the three armies is in the hands of Yun Lao Aiqing. Why should they listen to the orders of their cousin Liu Chengzhi, the heir apparent who has not yet succeeded to the throne? They don't know that military orders are like mountains, and those who disobey them will be killed.
?"
"The veteran minister, His Majesty and colleagues are not very clear about the specific process.
The reason is no longer important.
The important thing is how to prevent Dalong Jiangshan from falling into civil strife. The border army rebels and is unstoppable!
Now, 60,000 imperial guards and 20,000 armed guards have been dispatched to rush to Yingzhou, and 50,000 elite defenders from the six cities have gathered in Yingzhou. It is not too late to repair the situation.
If we delay for another three to five days, I'm afraid it will be too late.
The old minister also had this old face, and rode a carriage to the northern Xinjiang behind the imperial army. He looked at him and asked if he could help ease the tense situation for His Majesty and His Royal Highness.
As for the outcome, I can't guarantee it.
I would rather use my body to repay the late emperor's kindness, so I ask your majesty to play it correctly."
"Old love!"
"Your Majesty, don't hesitate any longer."
"Accurate...Accurate performance, dear dear, cherish it all the way."
Xia Gongming looked around at his colleagues in the palace with a sad expression, and walked towards the outside of the Qinzheng Palace holding the Chao Wat.
With his seventy-year-old body broken, Xia Gongming resigned and became the emperor Li Ye, and went to the north to slow down the army.
All the officials in the palace looked at Xia Gongming, who was blowing in the wind and rustling in the wind, and the water was cold, and the back of the warrior who had gone and never returned had complicated expressions in his eyes.
Some old associates who knew him well understood that if they could not stop Prince Bingxiong from raising his troops this time, this veteran of the Four Dynasties would probably go to court for the last time.
And Yingzhou in northern Xinjiang will be the final burial place of this old man who was known for his uprightness.
The officials' eyes were filled with admiration and sadness, and their eyes gradually became confused.
How could the great dragon, which was at its peak and was about to dominate the world, turn into such a dangerous situation in just one or two months?
"The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Household Affairs."
"I'm here!"
"The matter of the Forbidden Army and the Military Guard rushing to Yingzhou in Northern Xinjiang at night will be left to your sole discretion."
"I obey your orders."
"If you have nothing else to do, let's retire first. I have to think about how to explain things to the world.
Xia Lao Aiqing is right, I have to give everyone an explanation no matter what."
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, long live long live."
After Li Ye left, the officials stood up and walked out of the hall with a low expression, looking mostly at the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War.
Song Yu and Jiang Yuanming looked at each other, looked at the downcast and helpless expressions of the officials around them, sighed and shook their heads.
Nowadays, everyone in the court is miserable because Wang Liu Mingzhi is side by side. They are afraid that if they do not handle the affairs of the court well, they will suffer the thunderous wrath of Li Ye, and a catastrophe will be imminent.
After all, not even the loyal King Bianjian escaped from bad luck. What will happen to the officials like him who messed up the matter?
Some old ministers understand in their hearts that people's words are to be feared. Regardless of whether His Majesty is presiding over the matter of King Xiongxian or not, now they are all turning their attention to His Majesty because of the rumored matter.
Although the officials in the court were not so far apart from the emperor, they were all in danger, fearing that they would be burned.
Apart from King Bingjian coming forward to clarify that it was not His Majesty who ordered the assassination, only then will His Majesty's innocence be proven and His Majesty's prestige will be re-established. There is nothing else that can be done.
It just happened that it was no longer possible.
Not only is there no possibility, the crown prince also wants to raise an army to clear his father's name, and is suspected of harboring treasonous intentions.
The two made eye contact for a few moments, looking at their respective officials with majestic expressions.
"What are you thinking about in a daze? Why don't you rush back to the office to deal with the deployment of troops?"
"Yes, yes, I understand."
"I'm going to go immediately and take my leave."
"Your Majesty..."
More than a dozen officials from the two ministries immediately quickened their pace and rushed towards the palace office.
Lao Jiang glanced at the lackluster officials around him with a disappointed look, and smashed the palms of his hands with the Chao Hut.
"It seems that people are confused!"
"Yes, people's hearts are in chaos. Now everyone is in danger and thinking about self-protection. They don't dare to do their best in everything, for fear that it will be self-defeating.
Now I don’t want to seek merit, but just want to have no faults, and I’m afraid of following in the footsteps of King Bingjian!”
Lao Jiang looked around and pulled Song Yu aside: "Well, King Bingjian has too much prestige both in the court and among the people.
His passing away has touched the hearts of almost the whole world.
Maybe the whole world will be in chaos because of this.
Lao Du heard from his side that he had not slept for three days. Documents from officials under the bureaus of the four or five prefectures in Qingzhou and surrounding states were sent to the bureau one after another. It was said that the people of Qingzhou Prefecture could not come up with anything because of the yamen.
He confessed that he had already violated the Yamen, but it is not clear whether it is true or false.
The governor of Mingzhou and the king of Mingzhou also sent documents. I heard that the people in northern Xinjiang are now very resistant to the people, merchants and officials from the state capital south of Fengyundu crossing Fengyundu.
Except for official inns, restaurants, teahouses, and inns, no passers-by will be accepted from the north to the south.
There is nothing the government can do about it. They just refuse guests to check in because they have something to do at home and close the door to accept guests. There is nothing the government can do about it. You can't put people in jail just because they don't open the door for business."
"They are all extremely busy, Tong Xiang. Your Prime Minister has been in the Imperial Study Room for twelve days and has not returned home. No one knows the specific discussions with His Majesty."
Lao Jiang stopped at the corner of the city wall at the palace gate and took a look around.
"Our brothers have been friends for decades. To be disrespectful, whether His Majesty was behind this matter or not, His Majesty has to come forward and give an explanation to appease people's hearts.
Things are getting bigger and bigger, so trying to calm things down is just nonsense.
If you can't give it to the world, give an explanation to the soldiers of Northern Xinjiang.
To be disrespectful, I'm afraid this world is going to be in chaos. The prince and the prince are not scary, and the hundreds of thousands of elite border troops are not scary either.
What is terrifying from beginning to end is the influence brought about by the assassination of King Bingjian.
What do you think?"
After Lao Jiang finished speaking, he kept observing Song Yu's reaction. He wanted to see something from this uncle who was King of Side by Side.
