All of a sudden, 40,000 troops came in, as well as a bunch of civil and military officials. There were troops everywhere in and outside the city. The troops were in chaos, making the people of Quanzhou Prefecture panic.
It was a night when almost no one slept.
Fortunately, the army did not disturb the people.
On the long silent street, the sound of chaotic footsteps suddenly sounded.
Outside the mansion of King Zhu Zunxi of Fujian, the person responsible for guarding was Zhu Zunxi's confidant. Yue Yunsong, the commander of Pinghai Guard, and the soldiers on duty were soldiers from Puxi Qianhu Station of Pinghai Guard. They felt that they were absolute confidants just like the Yanshan Guards who were in trouble.
troops.
Yue Yunsong did not become the commander of Pinghaiwei with the money of Zhu Zunxi and his son.
Inherited his father's position and served as the commander of Ping Haiwei.
Because of his meritorious service in killing Japanese pirates, he was promoted to the Commander of the Coast Guard in the third year of Jingtai.
But Yue Yunsong's father was an old minister of Zheng'er Bajing Jianwen.
Loyal.
After the situation was stabilized, Yue Yunsong didn't say anything about the Minister of War. If a governor's office of the Fifth Army was to be established, Yue Yunsong, like the veteran general Cheng De, should be a left governor no matter what.
Hearing the unusual sound, Yue Yunsong was startled. Someone was rebelling?
Clang.
He unsheathed his sword and led his men into the long street. Facing the chaotic crowd spreading in the distance, he shouted: "Stop, take one more step forward and we will kill you without mercy!"
On the long street, there are torches like dragons.
At a glance, there were at least two to three thousand people surrounding His Royal Highness the Prince of Fujian's residence. The leader was suddenly Fan Biao from the Qianhu Station of Wan'an Qianhu Station, the Zhendong Guard. All of them had their swords unsheathed and were coming menacingly.
Fan Biao waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to stay still.
A scholar in blue shirt came out from behind Fan Biao. The firelight shone on his face. He said to Yue Yunsong without any emotion: "His Royal Highness, the King of Fujian, disregards the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers. He relies on his own power, despises the Tian family, and has a disobedient heart. Your Majesty.
The decree is to capture His Royal Highness the King of Fujian and bring him to justice!"
Yue Yunsong was so shocked that he could not speak.
It’s Xie Wan!
When did he seek refuge with Zhu Qizhen?
Why did he betray His Royal Highness the King of Fujian?
Yue Yunsong couldn't understand that His Highness trusted Xie Wan so much. As long as he stabilized his position in Fujian, it wouldn't be long before Xie Wan could walk from behind the scenes into the center of the court, among the seven ministers.
Even if they support the Baozong rebellion successfully, they will only be the Seventh Minister at the highest level.
What reason did he have to rebel?
Seeing Yue Yunsong stunned on the spot, Xie Wan snorted coldly, "Commander Yue, those who know the current affairs are outstanding. Decades have passed. Do you think that just by relying on the old minister Jianwen, you can still achieve things and still have people's hearts?"
Yue Yunsong was furious and cursed, "Xie Wan, you are such a villain! Your Highness treats you very well. When you were so poor that you couldn't even afford to eat, who gave you help in times of need? Who gave you help in times of need?"
Let you enjoy the glory and wealth!"
Xie Wan said coldly: "Everything I have gained is due to my own efforts. I feel at ease. Without me, Xie Wan, how could His Highness the Prince of Fujian deploy so quickly in Fujian and welcome His Majesty back to Fujian from Beijing?"
It's just a transaction.
I thank Wan for using my brain to make ends meet in Zhu Zunxi's hands. Could it be that just because Zhu Zunxi appreciates me, I have to follow him all the way to the dark side, and even lose my head because of it!
Ridiculous, I rely on my ability to make a living, why should I die?
Yue Yunsong said angrily: "That's not the reason for your rebellion today. You can just leave."
Xie Wan shook his head, "Commander Yue, you are also a person who has read books. Don't you know that people go to higher places and water flows to lower places? A small court official who cannot achieve great things may be destroyed by the imperial army at any time.
How can I be willing to run away from afar, be arrested by the government, and become a bereaved dog?"
Yue Yunsong laughed loudly, "You can walk to high places alone, shameless boy, do you think that supporting the Baozong can open up a new situation in Fujian? Without the support of my old minister Jianwen, you will only die!"
Xie Wan had a lot of free time, and now he was in control.
There are many soldiers and horses in Quanzhou City.
But most of them are sleeping at the moment. As long as they capture Zhu Zunxi, what can Jianwen's old officials do... Moreover, since they want to rebel, how can they just capture Zhu Zunxi?
Having followed Zhu Zunxi all these years, although Xie Wan didn't know which chess pieces Zhu Wenfu had left in the court, Xie Wan knew clearly about the old ministers of Jianwen in Fujian.
At this moment, someone has already gone over to solve it in a targeted manner.
There can be no surprises in tonight’s plan!
On strategy?
I thanked someone so much that I asked the world, who else is there?
Xie Wan shook his head, "Can you survive with Jianwen's old ministers?"
Yue Yunsong fell silent.
Xie Wan continued to ask: "Commander Yue, you know better than anyone else. Even most people in our small court know very well that there is no way to survive. Jianwen has long lost the support of the people, and the Fujian Dusi's military strength, even if it is really
What is more, everyone is willing to rebel, and they cannot be overly modest! In the end, there is a dead end, not to mention that all members of the Fujian Dusi really rebelled? Not necessarily, most of the generals were coerced by Wu An, the commander of the capital, and two comrades in command of the capital.
That’s all.”
Yue Yunsong continued to remain silent, unable to refute.
Because what Xie Wan said is true.
Xie Wan continued: "Some of the Fujian capital officials and local civil servants were forced to do so due to the situation; some were too involved in overseas smuggling and had to risk their lives; and some were like Commander Yue.
Likewise, I am loyal to His Majesty Jianwen. As for the people from the Fujian local gentry who came to serve as officials, Commander Yue made it clear to you and me that they are the principals responsible for overseas smuggling of these gentry. When they came to serve as officials, they were already working in their own clan.
He was removed from the family tree."
He smiled and said: "A plate of loose sand!"
Yue Yunsong said slowly: "Whether we are scattered or not, we all have a common goal. As long as we follow His Highness, once we capture Zhu Jianji and gain a foothold in Fujian, everything is possible."
Xie Wan laughed loudly, "What big dream are you still having, Commander Yue? Is it really possible to draw a big pancake? To win Zhu Jianji? That is the only prince of the Ming Dynasty today, Zhang Peng, Zhu Yong is not Wang Zhen, which
Come to Tumu Fort!"
He suddenly stopped smiling, "The only way out is to support His Majesty and wait for the orthodox old ministers to come to support, instead of guarding Jianwen's descendants, so... Zhu Zunxi must die!"
Only when Zhu Zunxi dies will the world know that His Majesty is no longer the puppet of Jianwen's remnants, but the real Emperor Tianshun!
Only then will the orthodox old ministers respond and defect.
Only in this desperate situation can we survive.
Yue Yunsong laughed angrily, "It's all in vain if you let your tongue bloom like a lotus flower. Today I will do justice for heaven!"
Waving his hand, "Kill!"
Pinghaiwei is a trusted force. There are a thousand people guarding His Highness today. They are all elite veterans. They can protect His Highness from breaking out, so there is still a glimmer of hope.
But he thought too much.
Xie Wan and Fan Biao came prepared.
As soon as the soldiers of Puxi Qianhu Station rushed forward, they were knocked to the ground by bursts of crossbow arrows.
Quanzhou was awakened by howls.
When only the corpses on the ground were left in a mess, Zhu Qizhen, guarded by his soldiers, walked slowly from behind, glanced at the closed door, and said to Fan Biao: "Capture the traitor king Zhu Zunxi!"
Soldiers swarmed in and there was the sound of swords falling to the ground.
The soldiers in the mansion are not stupid.
You can live if you surrender, why should you die in vain? The soldiers at the bottom are not as loyal as Yue Yunsong.
Zhu Qizhen is in high spirits.
very good.
Capture Zhu Zunxi and control the Fujian court, and immediately rush to Yongchun. Capture Zhu Jianji again, and you can reason with Zhu Qiyu. As long as you gain a firm foothold in Fujian, who knows the future.
