This place has already been under complete martial law.
At Emperor Ningkang's temporary residence, several confidants surrounded Emperor Ningkang.
“Everything went according to plan and went smoothly.
The guard camp moved all defense lines and passes away. The infantry battalion under the prince's command and Chen Jiedu's Beijing camp cooperated with each other to form a complete encirclement from the beginning. Now it has been pushed up the mountain, less than a few meters away from the palace of the Supreme Emperor.
land.
At the same time, Chen Jiedu also sent news that the overall situation in the north and south camps has been decided, and all the troops and horses have fallen into my hands."
"Although the capital is far away, we haven't received any news yet. But the Emperor is not in the capital, and we have the guard camp, the forward camp and the pro-military camp in our hands, as well as the Jinyi Guards outside. As long as they follow the plan and preemptively eliminate a few commanders,
There won't be any accidents.
It doesn't matter if we can't get rid of it, it's just a chaos for two days. When His Majesty returns to Beijing with a great victory, everything will be settled."
"Everything is ready, just waiting for His Majesty's order!"
Those who can sit here at this time are either those with military power or the absolute confidants and ministers of Emperor Ningkang.
Their eyes were filled with blazing fire.
As long as this coup succeeds, everyone here will surely rise to great heights.
A thousand years of achievements were achieved in one fell swoop, and they couldn't help but be excited.
In comparison, Emperor Ningkang above seemed relatively calm at this time.
He knocked on the table lightly to stop the noise and asked, "How about the Emperor's side?"
"No abnormalities have been found for the time being. The Xiaoqi Battalion has reduced its troops and built four defensive circles outside the Supreme Emperor's palace. There is no sign of evacuation.
It seems that they are planning to confront us and wait for reinforcements."
"Haha, how do they fight against each other and how do they maintain a stalemate?
Now that all the troops on and off the mountain are under our control, can those few thousand soldiers of the Cavalry Battalion still be able to withstand the onslaught of tens of thousands of our troops?
As for waiting for reinforcements?
Tens of thousands of our soldiers and horses can be mobilized to disintegrate the Xiaoqi camp in an instant. What will happen even if there are reinforcements?
Your Majesty, without further ado, please order the attack immediately!"
Emperor Ning Kang nodded.
This time things went quite smoothly.
By inviting the Supreme Emperor out of the Chonghua Palace and cutting off his contact with the lower classes, he could easily clear out some stubborn elements who held real power.
According to his plan, the actions in the palace in Beijing and inside and outside the imperial city should have started last night.
He didn't even expect his people to accomplish much, as long as they could clear away a few major obstacles, or even muddy the water.
As long as he muddies the water, he will be able to easily control the situation after he has dealt with the Supreme Emperor and returns to Beijing.
At that time, those who should seize power will seize power and those who should be killed will be killed.
In this way, the authority of the entire world will be transferred to his hands relatively smoothly.
Therefore, the only thing to do now is to deal with the minions that the Supreme Emperor brought to Tienwang Mountain.
The overall situation has basically been decided, and he naturally doesn't feel as nervous as before.
but……
The current reaction from the Supreme Emperor was somewhat beyond his expectation.
But it doesn’t matter.
Whether it was a fight between trapped beasts, a pretense, or even a real message passed on and now we are waiting for reinforcements...
These were all within his expectations.
Tienwang Mountain is so big, and everything was done carefully beforehand, so it is normal for the Supreme Emperor to deliver some simple news.
As a mature emperor, he certainly did not impulsively decide to force his way into the palace, and then had no plan to solve the subsequent troubles, becoming the sinner who brought trouble to his ancestors!
He was sure to handle everything before the Emperor's reinforcements arrived and take care of the reinforcements behind him.
Now, he couldn't wait to stand in front of the Supreme Emperor and let him admit that he was wrong.
"Inform Chen Zhao and Feng Sheng to take action."
As Emperor Ning Kang spoke, several people immediately stood up, clasped their fists in salute, and left, preparing for the final blow.
"His Majesty……"
"His Majesty."
The remaining ministers were about to say something, but Dai Quanxing came and interrupted them.
"What's the matter?"
"The second princess came and said that she had something important to do and she must see His Majesty. She also injured the soldiers of the pro-military camp who tried to stop her."
"presumptuous!"
Emperor Ning Kang was a little angry.
The second princess is Princess Zhaoyang, and her eldest princess was granted the title by Emperor Ningkang.
Although the people below still call her the eldest princess, as a person in the palace, Dai Quan naturally had to change his words after Princess Zhaoyang was deprived of her position as eldest princess by the Supreme Emperor.
As the emperor's personal army, the pro-army camp can completely represent the face of Emperor Ningkang. How dare Princess Zhaoyang take action?
However, after being instinctively angry, Emperor Ning Kang also felt that as a princess, he had always had a good idea, and if there was no reason, she would not cause trouble for him at this juncture.
So he suppressed his anger and said coldly: "Let her in."
Suddenly Princess Zhaoyang came wearing stars and stepping on the moon.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father."
"What's the matter with you?"
Emperor Ningkang got straight to the point, causing Princess Zhaoyang to put away her salute.
She first glanced at the screen with swaying figures on the side, and then asked directly: "I came here to ask my father, is the eldest brother really plotting rebellion?
Why does he want to rebel?"
The tone of Princess Zhaoyang's questioning made Emperor Ning Kang unhappy. He said coldly: "Why did he rebel? You should ask him. Why do you ask me?"
Princess Zhaoyang continued: "Father, do you really have the heart to watch father and son kill each other, and watch many innocent people, even loyal ministers and generals, die innocently and tragically?"
Emperor Ning Kang's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his face turned ugly.
Of course he could understand what Princess Zhaoyang said.
From the moment he decided to force her to surrender, he knew that his decision would cause the sacrifice of some innocent people.
He also knew that among those who were loyal to the Supreme Emperor, there were also loyal ministers and good generals.
But so what, the more loyal those people are to the Supreme Emperor, the harder it will be for him to use them!
Therefore, his eyes suddenly became cold and he looked at his daughter indifferently, "So, you are here now to accuse me?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When he decided to embark on this path destined to be criticized and attacked, he also hoped to gain the understanding of the people around him, especially the understanding of his close relatives.
Although Emperor Ning Kang did not answer directly, Princess Zhaoyang still saw Emperor Ning Kang's determination from his face and tone.
After a moment of silence, Princess Zhaoyang's tone softened and she said: "Of course I am not here to ask for guilt.
The father's difficulties are unknown to others, but his sons and ministers naturally understand them.
I am here just to ask my father a question."
Emperor Ningkang didn't reply, just looked at Princess Zhaoyang.
Princess Zhaoyang looked at him with hope: "Father, how do you plan to treat Grandpa Huang?"
Emperor Ning Kang suddenly fell silent.
This was the first time he heard this pointed question.
No one else, including his most trusted confidants, dared to ask him.
He didn't want or want to answer.
But facing Princess Zhaoyang's expectant eyes, I thought about how my daughter has grown up since she was so young, and her thinking has matured.
Especially when he thought with some reluctance that he might have disappointed her bright eyes once when he asked her to get married.
My heart suddenly softened.
He lowered his head and replied slowly: "Although I am not a wise king, how can I dare to do what Tang Zong did not dare to do?"
"Okay, I'm tired. Let's talk about it later if there's anything else. Come on down."
Emperor Ning Kang picked up a book and felt that his eyebrows were a little swollen and painful, so he put the book down again and rubbed it with his hands.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that Princess Zhaoyang had not left, but was walking up to him. She was so close to him that Dai Quan stopped her in front of her calmly.
Emperor Ning Kang had no idea that Princess Zhaoyang would be unfavorable to him. He just looked at her and said impatiently: "What else do you want?"
Emperor Ning Kang felt that he had been tolerant enough towards his daughter. If the fourth prince dared to bother him so much at this time, he would have kicked her up.
Unexpectedly, Princess Zhaoyang changed her tone completely and said, "I just went to see the imperial grandmother."
Emperor Ningkang frowned, wondering why Princess Zhaoyang said such irrelevant words.
"My son, I want to tell my father that what he wants to do is of great concern, and no matter how cautious you are, you can't be too careful.
Now that my father is directly attacking us, my grandpa Guanhuang doesn't feel much panic.
From top to bottom, there was no fuss.
Grandpa Huang didn't even ban us from entering and exiting the palace.
Although I don’t know what else to rely on from Grandpa Huang, my father, Grandpa Huang has been ruling the world for too long. If my father wants to defeat him, he must not be careless at all.
I only hope that my father and all his relatives will be safe and healthy, and I hope that my father will be aware of this wish."
Princess Zhaoyang said these words sincerely, then bowed deeply and turned to leave.
After writing the letter, Emperor Ning Kang's brows were already furrowed.
Several ministers came out from behind the screen, and they all heard the conversation between Princess Zhaoyang and Emperor Ningkang.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. The second princess is just a prostitute. Your Majesty does not need to pay too much attention to what she says.
Maybe the second princess just doesn't want to see the disaster of weapons, or maybe she just cares about His Majesty's safety.
But no matter what, the arrow must be fired when it is on the string, and your Majesty must not hesitate."
When one person says this, everyone else agrees.
Most of the troops on and off the mountain were controlled by them. Under such a situation, they really couldn't imagine how the Supreme Emperor could turn defeat into victory.
Emperor Ningkang didn't say much. While waiting for the news, he discussed with his officials how to deal with the aftermath.
…
Time passed by, and soon the prince's "rebels" were completely on the mountain.
However, these rebels did not go straight to the Supreme Emperor's palace to annihilate the Xiaoqi camp as Emperor Ning Kang and others imagined.
Instead, just like their original slogan, they held high the banner of King Qin to protect him, and rushed towards the military guard camp who had given them the green light all the way, and surrounded Emperor Ningkang's palace.
During this round of hunting in Tiewan Mountain, in addition to the Xiaoqi Battalion and the Pro-Army Battalion beside the Second Saint, the most important forces were the Guard Camp garrisoned on the mountain, the Guard Infantry Battalion garrisoned in the mountains, and the Beijing Camp garrisoned at the foot of the mountain.
The Guard Battalion, the Guard Infantry Battalion and the Valiant Cavalry Battalion are one of the three main forces in the Royal Forest Army system, among which the Guard Battalion is the one with the largest number of people.
The main responsibility of the guard camp is to guard the safety of the imperial city and to escort the saints when they travel.
The hunting at Tienwang Mountain seemed to be arranged by the prince, but in fact everything was the intention of Emperor Ningkang. Therefore, the soldiers of the guard camp who were transferred were naturally loyal to Emperor Ningkang.
Most of the generals in the guard infantry camp were leftover from the period of the Supreme Emperor.
It's just that Emperor Ningkang knew that the prince had cultivated some forces in the infantry camp over the years. In order to make the cover of "the prince's rebellion" seem more reasonable, and to make everything more natural and prevent the Supreme Emperor from becoming suspicious, Emperor Ningkang
He acquiesced to the prince's act of bringing in private goods by transferring the infantry battalion to Tienwang Mountain for garrison.
As for the Beijing camp, Emperor Ning Kang's biggest intervention in the Beijing camp in recent years was to change the military envoy.
There is no need to hide this, everyone knows that Chen Zhao is his. Some of the soldiers from the Beida camp brought by Chen Zhao this time are naturally loyal to Chen Zhao and Emperor Ningkang.
Therefore, in the entire Iron Network Mountain, the five major forces, except for the mere thousands of officers and soldiers of the Cavalry Battalion in the hands of the Supreme Emperor, were all under the control of Emperor Ningkang.
Under such circumstances, it is no wonder that Emperor Ningkang and his closest officials felt that the overall situation was settled and everything was under control.
However, at this time, the outermost perimeter of the guard camp was fortified.
Emperor Ningkang came on horseback.
The soldiers of the two armies who were originally facing each other moved away a little when they saw Emperor Ning Kang's figure.
If the nobles on Tienwang Mountain are still confused now, then for these ordinary soldiers at the bottom, they are completely confused.
Because the leaders all insisted on their own opinions, they could not judge whether it was true or false.
Therefore, we can only act according to the orders from above.
But after all, it was the Royal Forest Army sequence, so it was impossible not to know about Emperor Ning Kang.
Emperor Ning Kang ignored the infantry soldiers with strange faces and shouted coldly from a distance:
