The decree given to Fan Youxian and Yan Zonggao was similar to the decree given to Yang Huai and Zhang Chengwu. It was nothing more than that the emperor was seriously ill and ordered the crown prince to supervise the country, and granted officials and Yinzi to grant property. The difference was that the titles given to them were different.
Higher, the first grade, one was granted the title of Grand Master, and the other entered the Shangzhu Kingdom. However, the ultimate goal was the same: to seize military power. The decree ordered Wuchuan Hou Bai Wenxuan to replace Fan Youxian as the capital guard commander; and ordered the commander-in-chief Zhao Yinxuan to replace Yan Zungao.
Deputy Governor of the Capital Guard.
"Brother Fan, Brother Yan Xian, Taishi and Shangzhuguo, our court never gives ministers the honor easily, so why don't you quickly accept the order and express your gratitude?" Gu Yi said with a smile, carefully observing the expressions of the two of them.
"Oh, such a good thing is happening! Thank you so much for the grace of God!" Fan Youxian looked like he couldn't help but sing with a white face.
"No, your Majesty is seriously ill. We have been rejected many times when we asked to see him. Now he suddenly issued an order to the prince to supervise the country. This is strange. I ask to see your Majesty to judge the authenticity of the decree." Yan Zunyao sang with a black face.
"The Duke of Hubei suspects that he has forged an imperial edict? You can check it as much as possible." Gu Yi handed over the imperial edict, and the standard seal was exactly the same.
"I will never agree to the handover without seeing the Holy One." I strictly followed the decree and refused to give in.
During the stalemate, they suddenly heard a commotion, and the Chinese army stumbled in, "Shu Duke, it's not good, the sergeants in Huben Town are rioting and have surrounded the camp."
"Get rid of the traitorous ministers and defend the society!"
"Get rid of the traitorous ministers and defend the society!"
"Get rid of treacherous ministers and defend the society"??
Hearing the roar like thunder, Fan Youxian was secretly happy. Ma Bao looked simple and honest, but he didn't expect that the whole movement was quite big!
He pretended to be at a loss and took Yan Zungao, Gu Yi and Zhao Yinxuan out of the camp to watch.
There were more than 10,000 soldiers surrounding the camp, with flags on the left, center, right, front, and back of each camp. It seems that except for some left to defend the city, Ma Bao mobilized all the troops and soldiers he could mobilize.
A vast expanse, endless.
"Obey the emperor's orders and conquer those who are not loyal!"
"Obey the emperor's orders and conquer those who are not loyal!"
"Obey the emperor's orders and conquer those who are not loyal"??
There was another wave of roaring mountains and tsunami. From further away, more than ten thousand soldiers and horses came, under the banner of Xiaoqi Town, but it was Lin Jiading, the commander-in-chief of Xiaoqi Town who was loyal to the crown prince. Hearing about the trouble in Huben Town, he led his troops there.
Protect the imperial envoy.
Gu Yi and Zhao Yinxuan looked at each other. If they were not careful about this matter, it would lead to a fight. What should they do?
Fan Youxian secretly winked at Yan Zungao, and led hundreds of his guards to mount their horses and gallop in front of the army formations of Huben and Xiaoqi. As he raced, he shouted: "Fan Youxian, the capital guard commander, is here. Where are Ma Bao and Lin Jiading?"
”
After all, he is Senior General Conglong, who has a high prestige in the army. He has commanded the three towns of Jingying for several years and has many close associates. As soon as he appeared, the noise in the two towns of Hu Ben and Xiaoqi suddenly weakened and calm gradually returned. In the center of the two towns,
Two cavalrymen galloped out, it was Ma Bao and Lin Jiading. One of them was holding a tanning whip gun, and the other was carrying a long-handled sword, full of murderous intent.
"The last general, Ma Bao, meets the commander-in-chief!"
"Lin Jiading, the last general, meets the commander-in-chief!"
The two of them rushed to Fan Youxian's horse and saluted. The murderous aura just now disappeared and they became as well-behaved as cats.
"You bastard, you have grown up, how dare you fight in front of me! Get off your horses and go into the big tent to discuss matters," Fan Youxian shouted angrily. One thing fell after another, and Ma Bao and Lin Jiading obediently dismounted and followed, heading towards the big tent.
Leave the account.
Some conflicts are irreconcilable due to their respective positions. Among the three town generals, Ma Bao firmly believed that the imperial edict was false and refused to obey Bai Wenxuan. Zhao Yinxuan took over as the capital guard governor and the legitimacy of the deputy governor; Lin Jiading insisted that
The imperial edict is true, and resisting it is rebellion; Li Laiheng's attitude is biased towards Ma Bao. The three of them were arguing, but no one could convince the other.
"Mr. Ge, according to General Yi, the morale of the army is currently unstable, and a hasty handover may easily lead to a mutiny. Why not let Wu Chuanhou and General Zhao go back first, and wait until General Yi has appeased the sergeants before handing over. How about that?" Yan Zungao continued to play dirty.
.
"How does this happen?"
Gu Yi was so angry that his beard grew, "The emperor's order is like a mountain, how can there be any reason to go back on his word? Today, Marquis Wu Chuan and General Zhao must take over the three towns of the Imperial Guard in the capital. Anyone who disobeys will be punished as treason!"
Seeing that the two sides were about to collapse, Fan Youxian hurriedly pulled Gu Yi aside and said in a low voice: "Brother Gu Xian, these reckless men were all killed in the blood sea of the mountain of corpses by the saint. They are wild and difficult to tame. If you are forced to hurry, you will definitely...
There has been a change. How about this, today we declare Wu Chuanhou and Zhao Zongzhen as the capital guarding governors. The deputy governors, I and the Duke of E will continue to stay in the camp. After appeasing the military morale, they can hand over the military seals and leave. What do you think?
”
Gu Yi pondered for a long time and asked: "Brother Fan, how long will it take for you to appease the morale of the army?"
"This is about a year."
"No, it's too long."
"Then half a year."
"No, it's still too long."
"That's three months. It can't be any less. I need time to replace the disobedient generals." Fan Youxian looked solemn.
"Okay, I'll follow the Duke of Shu," Gu Yi sighed and finally compromised.
Politics, in the final analysis, is the art of compromise.
??
The issue of military power in the three towns of the Forbidden Army in the capital came to an end. Gu Yi summoned Zhao Desheng, the commander-in-chief who was loyal to the prince, "General Zhao, the governor of the outer city guard, Xingye Hou Yang Fuchen, is the cousin of King Ji and a confidant. This time he took over
I'm afraid there's going to be a tough battle for the military power of the Second Forbidden Army Town in the Outer City, so we need to be more careful!"
Zhao Desheng raised his hand and said, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch the tiger's cubs? The general will be His Highness the Prince's son in life, and will be His Highness the Prince's ghost in death. It is the duty of the general to be loyal to His Highness. Don't worry, Mr. Ge, the general will definitely do something about it.
Good job."
Gu Yi smiled and said, "Li Yuanyin, the Deputy Governor of the Outer City Guards, Guangchang Bo, is not a member of the King of Ji and can be won over. This time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince promoted Li Yuanyin to be the Governor of the Outer City Guards. If you are the Deputy Governor, there is someone who can use Li to control Yang."
Thoughts. You should do a good job and take care of the imperial guards in the outer city for His Highness.
"Don't worry, Mr. Ge, the general will know in the end."
Gu Yi took Zhao Desheng, a thousand guards, and six thousand Jinwu Town sergeants to the military camp of Fujun Town next to the Qilin Gate in Waiguo. Among the eighteen city gates in Waiguo, Qilin Gate is located in the east of the city because of the entrance to the tomb of Liu Yuning, Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty.
Named after the two stone unicorns.
Among the two towns of Longhu and Longhu, the Forbidden Army in the outer city, many generals followed King Zhu Ruodeng to defeat the Rakshasa people in Longhu Town, which was regarded as the core force of King Ji; the general of the town, Xuanping Bo Dong Fangce,
Maintain a neutral attitude among the prince and the king of Ji.
At this time, the news that the prince was supervising the country and wanted to seize the military power in the outer city had spread. The chief soldier of Longhu Town, Yuan'an Bo Chen Youlong, wearing armor and holding a sword, led the entire town's elite troops to gather at the Forbidden Army camp in the outer city. However, the outer city guard captain Xingye
Hou Yang Fuchen was startled, called Chen Youlong and asked: "Uncle Yuan'an, what do you mean?"
Chen Youlong pulled out his steel sword and roared: "The last general has received great favor from His Highness King Ji, and will never betray His Highness. If Marquis Xingye dares to hand over his military power, he will be killed by the last general!"
Yang Fuchen was angry and funny, "Well, you are the king of hell. Skinning people makes you confused. As a foreign minister, you are still unwilling to betray His Highness King Ji. I am His Highness's cousin. How can I betray you? Just wait.
, I have already considered this matter."
