At this moment, on the towering city wall, a flag embroidered with the Chinese character "Han" was fluttering in the wind and making a hunting sound.
But on top of the towering city wall with blue bricks and black tiles, one could see groups of soldiers wearing black armor, holding the wild goose feather swords at their waists and looking sharply at the Han army below.
The Han troops from the Jiangbei camp were pouring into Jinling City like a tide, and shouts and shouts were heard from time to time. Cai Quan, who was ordered by Jia Heng to supervise the army, was also surrounded by the generals from the Beijing camp and was heading towards Jinling.
The city surged away.
At this moment, Annan Hou Ye Zhenming's general Ye Cheng led his soldiers and horses to welcome the soldiers and horses from Jiangbei Camp into Jinling City.
Cai Quan, surrounded by the generals of Jiangbei Camp, came closer, looked at Annan Hou Ye Zhen opposite, and whispered: "Ye Hou, how is the situation in the Governor's Yamen?"
Ye Zhen's face was stern, almost as calm as Xuan Shui, and he said in a deep voice: "The King of Wu, the King of Lu, Hao Jiru and others are all at the Governor's Office of Liangjiang. The other bureaucrats are at the mansion. The Nanjing Garrison Office has sent troops to station at the mansion.
Previously, we were on guard and watched, and we could take action as soon as the imperial troops arrived."
It’s time for this chaos in Jiangnan to end.
Cai Quan's face was full of evil, and under his thick eyebrows, his eyes were cold and stern, and he said in a deep voice: "This time, we must catch all these rebellious officials and traitors who are afraid of the world's chaos."
After all the old officials from the previous dynasty in Jiangnan were cleared away, the stumbling block for the prince to ascend the throne no longer existed.
They can make further progress with their support, otherwise they will not be able to rely on military merit alone.
At this moment, when Cai Quan was thinking wildly, waves of earth-shattering shouts of killing came from Jinling City at the right time. It was not the soldiers from the Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps who were fighting each other, but the soldiers from the Jiangnan camp.
Take the initiative to welcome Cai Quan's troops into the city.
Along with bursts of chaotic sounds and shouts of killing, it can be seen that a large number of elite Han troops are surrounding the Liangjiang Governor's Office.
Liangjiang Governor's Yamen, official office——
At this moment, the King of Wu, the King of Lu, Hao Jiru, Shen Fang and others arrived outside the official office in a panic, and they could already hear shouts of killing from the end of the street and even further away.
When the King of Wu heard this, he frowned and asked: "Where is the Marquis of Annan? There is also Young Master Ye, please go and invite them over."
With that said, he gave instructions to the servants who were waiting for him.
However, after a while, the servant came back, with a look of fear on his face, and said: "What's wrong, Your Majesty, the Duke's Governor's Mansion is outside holding the banner of the Ye family and is surrounding the Governor's Yamen.
"
At this moment, the faces of King Wu, King Lu and others in the official hall all showed worried expressions, and they said, "How could it be? Why did Marquis Ye come here with his troops?"
Immediately, at the end of the street paved with blue stones, there was the sound of the collision of weapons and armor, occasionally mixed with the shouts of soldiers and generals, and then a large number of soldiers wearing black armor and holding wild goose feather knives could be seen.
Coming from afar.
"kill!"
On Ye Zhen's side, he led the soldiers and horses of the Jiangnan camp and fought with the team of servants recruited by King Wu during this period.
For a moment, the sound of killing could be heard loudly, and the sound of swords, spears and soldiers banging could be heard endlessly.
These servants, no matter how they were the opponents of the court's experienced soldiers, were defeated by the Han army in a short time and retreated steadily.
"What is Ye Zhen going to do?" King Wu's eyes were piercing under his sword-shaped brows, and his heart was in shock. His fair and elegant face showed an ashen color, and he turned to look at Hao Jiru and others aside, feeling shocked. Inexplicable fear.
Hao Jiru's expression paused slightly and he said in disbelief: "Has Yehou... already switched to the imperial court?"
Shen Fang looked confused for a while, then his resolute and calm face showed a look of shock, and he exclaimed: "No, I fell into a trap! This is King Wei's plan!"
Lure the snakes out of their holes, gather them together and annihilate them. This is obviously because they are worried that there is no reason to eliminate the opposition forces in Jiangnan. This rebellion undoubtedly gave King Wei an opportunity.
King Wu also came to his senses at this moment. Under his thick eyebrows, his shining eyes also showed a look of understanding. He gritted his teeth and said: "This Yehou is really a sinister villain and extremely hateful!"
They have all been fooled!
This is the pit dug by King Wei and Hou Yezhen of Annan together, waiting for them to jump into it.
Under Ye Zhen's thick eyebrows, his aggressive and flashing tiger eyes were as sharp as lightning, like a divine light, and he said in a deep voice: "Get them!"
Then a large number of soldiers were seen holding wild goose feather knives, rushing into the streets paved with bluestones, killing everyone on sight, and gradually came to the Governor's Yamen.
"Your Majesty, I can't stand it anymore. There are too many Han troops at the moment." At this time, a general wearing dark red armor and a black cape, covered in blood, came quickly and warned in a hurry.
At this moment, King Wu had already seen the changes in the situation not far away, and his elegant and fair face could not help but cast a gloomy look.
The king of Lu, Chen Tai, looked at King Wu and said softly: "Brother King Wu, what should we do now?"
King Wu was panicked for a moment. He stared at Chen Tai and said, "This...how do I know this?"
At this time, Annan Hou Ye Zhen had already led his troops to the front.
King Wu's face was filled with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Ye Zhen, why did you betray me?"
Ye Zhen raised his sword eyebrows, stared at King Wu with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice: "What is your Royal Highness King Wu talking about? Although I was confused for a while, after receiving the advice from King Wei's letter, I have already found my way back and am willing to do it for you." The imperial court will make meritorious deeds."
King Wu was so angry that his lips trembled, his eyes were full of hatred and indignation, and he said: "Ye Zhen, don't bully others too much!"
If Ye Zhen hadn't been willing to send troops from the Jiangnan camp, King Wu might not have had the courage to rebel.
Ye Zhen shouted coldly and said in a deep voice: "King Wu, now that the imperial army is here, why don't you dismount and be captured?"
The king of the house, Chen Tai, had a gloomy face and a look of worry in his eyes.
How did he get to this point? Where will he go next?
Shen Fang's face was as pale as paper, and his heart sank to the bottom of his heart.
But at this moment, many Han soldiers were seen holding swords and guns, and they were surrounding them in a fan shape. The swords and soldiers were full of sharpness, and they suddenly surrounded the entire Liangjiang Governor's Mansion.
As the shouts of killing and muffled grunts gradually became sparse, the soldiers from the surrounding Jiangnan Camp had already gathered around the Governor's Yamen.
The guards around King Wu were becoming increasingly sparse at this moment, and he was clearly completely surrounded by soldiers from the Han army's Beijing camp.
Shen Fang's face was earth-colored, and under his thick eyebrows, there was a look of fear in his eyes, and a desolate feeling of the end of the road came to his heart.
At this moment, a bustling noise suddenly came from the end of the road paved with bluestones. It was clearly Cai Quan who was approaching, surrounded by people.
"General Cai." Ye Zhenxing came closer, looked at Cai Quan under his thick eyebrows, and whispered: "All the relevant traitors have been arrested."
Under Cai Quan's thick eyebrows, his stern eyes swept over the people present and said sternly: "Tie up all the relevant criminals and send them to the capital at a certain date."
Ye Zhen nodded, and then ordered the waiting soldiers from the Jiangnan camp to arrest everyone present.
King Wu's face was as pale as paper, and his voice trembled slightly with fear, as he asked: "What are you going to do?"
Hao Jiru's face was also as pale as paper, his old figure was trembling, and he said, "What are you going to do to me?"
Shen Fang closed his eyes and sighed heavily in his heart.
He should have thought long ago that this was King Wei's conspiracy.
King Wei has always been scheming, how could he just sit back and watch such a big mess happen in Jiangnan.
It's a pity that the move was just one step away.
Cai Quan's face was covered with frost, and he looked at the ashen-faced Hao Jiru and others with cold eyes. He shouted deeply and said: "Come here, take over the Yamen of the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion and arrest the rebels according to the list."
In this Jiangnan rebellion, many Jiangnan gentry were implicated. At least when the King of Wu gathered his ministers in the palace in Jinling City, they accepted the petition.
As the main force in the "rebellion", Ye Zhen still knew the rebel members well.
Following a group of strong-backed soldiers, they swarmed up and captured the King of Wu, King of Lu, Hao Jiru and others.
Cai Quan said, and immediately left quickly without saying more.
When Cai Quan, surrounded by soldiers and generals, entered the governor's office like stars holding the moon, the soldiers and horses of Jiangnan Camp and Jiangbei Camp had completely "recovered" Jinling City.
Cai Quan said in a deep voice: "Marquis Ye, Jinling officials often opposed King Wei back then. Now they have rebelled and rebelled, which is a heinous crime. In the past few days, we have arrested the traitors one by one who had rebelled before. We must not let the traitors remain outside the law."
When Ye Zhen heard this, he didn't say much else, he just handed over to Cai Quan.
Cai Quan was silent for a moment and said softly: "In a moment, I will deliver a report of meritorious service to the court, saying that the chaos in Jiangnan has been put down."
The chaos in the south of the Yangtze River did not last long, but Hao Jiru, King Wu, Shen Fang and others were lured out from behind the scenes and captured in one fell swoop.
Until late in the evening, when the sunset filled the sky, the cries of killing in the city completely subsided.
Originally, Jinling was temporarily taken over by the King of Wu and Hao Jiru in name. The people guarding the city were the soldiers from the Jiangnan camp led by Ye Zhen, who were cooperating with the soldiers from the Jiangbei camp to suppress the newly formed personal guards of the King of Wu.

Jinling, Haojia
When the turmoil broke out in Jinling, the entire city of Jinling was shrouded in fear and uneasiness, but the Hao family had not yet received the bad news.
At this moment, the Hao family is still immersed in the joy of having their master "do great things" and win a big victory. In the past few days, even the servants of the Hao family have beaming faces.
At this moment, a large number of officers and soldiers suddenly arrived outside Hao's house. Along with the sounds of chaotic footsteps, the officers and soldiers shouted from outside, saying: "We can't let anyone go!"
The former housekeeper of the Hao family residence stood under the eaves of the corridor. He walked closer, looked at the soldiers outside, shouted in a deep voice, and said, "What are you doing here?"
Obviously the housekeeper hasn't figured out the situation yet.
The leading general looked solemn and shouted: "The Hao family participated in the rebellion, resisted the imperial court, and surrounded the Hao family. No one can leave."
As he said that, without any explanation, he pulled out the Yan Fei Dao from his waist and slashed at the housekeeper. With a heart-rending scream, a large number of generals rushed into the Hao family's house without any explanation.
…
…
Time flies like an arrow, the sun and the moon fly by, and two days pass before you know it.
The turmoil in Jinling seems to be gradually coming to an end.
Not only was the Hao family confiscated, but also Yan Mao, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry of Nanjing, Kuang Chun, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Dong Chongxue, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, were also confiscated, and their homes were also confiscated one after another.
On this day, in front of the Governor's Office of Liangjiang——
A large number of servants lined up around the official road, waiting for Li Shouzhong, the governor of Liangjiang, who was returning by boat from Yangzhou. At first, there was a chaos in Jinling City. Li Shouzhong followed the advice of Annan Hou Yezhen, left the Governor's Mansion of Liangjiang, and took a boat to Yangzhou Mansion. Avoid disaster.
In a blink of an eye, Jinling City fell under the rule of the imperial court again, and Li Shouzhong, the governor of Liangjiang, also moved to Jinling again.
As the word "Luo" suddenly sounded, the sedan was about to descend. Soon, Li Shouzhong could be seen lifting the curtain to get out of the sedan. When he looked at Cai Quan under the plaque of the Governor's Yamen, Annan Hou Ye Zhen came up to greet him.
Li Shouzhong said with a smile on his face: "Everyone, I welcome you."
Cai Quan looked resolute and said in a deep voice: "Master Li, the enemy bandits in the city have been completely eliminated and the victory has been reported to the imperial court."
Li Shouzhong nodded, his eyes twinkling under his thick eyebrows, and he said: "The people of Jiangnan were shocked by the Jinling Incident. Now that the rebellion has been suppressed, we should take good care of it to smooth out the impact."
Cai Quan smiled and said: "Master Li is the governor of Liangjiang and a minister of the imperial court. He is free to take charge of it."
Li Shouzhong nodded, stretched out his hand to invite: "This is not the place to talk. General Cai, Marquis Ye, please come to the hall to talk."
Cai Quan and Ye Zhen responded, and then followed Li Shouzhong into the official hall of the Governor's Yamen.
As the guests and hosts took their seats, Li Shouzhong's eyes wandered around the generals present, and finally fell on Cai Quan, saying: "The relevant criminals will be detained in the sky prison for the time being, waiting for the court to deal with them."
Cai Quan said: "Sir Li, in the past few days, the soldiers of the Jiangnan Camp have cooperated with the captain of Jinyi Mansion to arrest the Jiangnan officials who are scheming."
Just as Cai Quan said, at this moment, throughout Jinling City, Jin Yiti cavalry was out in all directions, working with the cavalry soldiers from the Beijing Camp to arrest the rebellious Jiangnan officials. Jinling Fucheng and the Prison Department Prison were already full of people.

Shenjing City, Ningguo Mansion
Grand View Garden, Hengwu Courtyard
Jia Heng was chatting with Baochai, and gently touched Baochai's shoulder. His resolute and calm face could not help but appear.
"Sister Xue, during this period of time, you have been raising and recuperating the fetus in the backyard, which has been very hard on you." Jia Heng said warmly.
Since Baochai became pregnant, her body bones have become heavier and her face, as white as snow, has become plumper and softer. Under her two green-feathered eyebrows, her crystal clear eyes are like charming waves.
At this moment, Ying'er quickly entered the side room and said softly: "Your Majesty, the front yard said that the people in Jinyi Mansion have something important to report to Your Majesty."
When Jia Heng heard this, his sharp eyes flickered and he said, "What do you have to report to me?"
My heart moved slightly. Could it be the news from Jiangnan?
Baochai raised his eyes and saw a thoughtful look on Jia Heng's face, and said softly: "Your Majesty, if you have something to do ahead of you, go ahead and get busy."
Jia Heng responded softly, looked at Baochai with a smile, and whispered: "Sister Xue, I'll be back as soon as I go."
While talking, he got up and walked towards the front yard.
At this moment, in the hall, Liu Jixian, the commander of Jinyi Mansion, was sitting on a yellow rosewood chair, with a resolute and calm face.
Seeing Jia Heng coming in from the outside, Liu Jixian stood up quickly, cupped his hands and said: "I have seen the auxiliary king in this humble position. The prince is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Liu Qian doesn't need to be polite, so what do you have to report to me?"
Liu Jixian cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Jinling City is back under the rule of the imperial court."
Jia Heng nodded and said warmly: "Jinling City has been recovered?"
In fact, this is not a surprise to him, because the entire Jinling chaos was carried out with his secret cooperation. Now that the fish are almost gathered, the net can be closed.
Liu Jixian spoke softly. As he spoke, he handed a piece of paper out of his sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, this is the information sent by the guards of the Jinyi Mansion in the land of Jinling."
After Jia Heng finished reading, he thought for a moment and said: "Publish the news to calm the hearts of the people."
It should be Liu Jixian's hand.
Jia Heng said: "In addition, you go to Jinling to supervise the case of treason against King Wu and King Lu. This case must uproot the people with evil intentions."
To put it bluntly, it is a big prison.
Jia Heng's face paused slightly, and he looked at Liu Jixian intently and said: "This case must be completed to be a solid case, so that it will not be in vain or tolerated."
Liu Jixian cupped his hands and said, "I understand this humble position."
The purpose of going to Jiangnan this time is to completely wipe out the enemies who resist King Wei and restore peace and order to Jiangnan.
Jia Heng waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go down and get busy."
Liu Jixian bowed his hands in agreement, then turned and left Ningguo Mansion.
Jia Heng stood in the hall for a while, then turned around to look for Chen Xiao.
After Chen Xiao became pregnant, she raised the fetus in the back house, mostly with Gu Ruoqing.
At this moment, in the back room of the house, Chen Xiao and Gu Ruoqing were lying on a soft couch together, and they were talking.
The sisters who practiced martial arts together in the past are now lying on the same bed together to raise their children, and they complement each other quite well.
