Gu Yi took Zhao Desheng to the gate of the military camp in Fujun Town. Someone told him that Guangchang Bo Li Yuanyin was inspecting Fujun Town, so he did not go directly to find Yang Fuchen, but went to see Li Yuanyin first.
Li Yuanyin was startled when he saw Gu Yi, "Mr. Ge, why are you here?"
"Guangchang Bo Li Yuanyin listens to the edict." Gu Yi nodded to him and read out the imperial edict. After announcing the edict, Li Yuanyin was promoted from the deputy governor of the outer city guard to the governor of the outer city guard.
He was originally the adopted son of Li Chengdong, a powerful general in the late Ming Dynasty. He followed Li Chengdong, first rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, then surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and then returned to the Ming Dynasty. He went back and forth several times. He had experienced ups and downs and knew that this official position was not easy.

After receiving this imperial edict, he snatched the official position of Yang Fuchen, the Marquis of Xingye. Not only was Yang Fuchen himself a meritorious official from Conglong, but his father Yang Guowei was also a core figure when the Holy Sage launched his army in Guilin, and he was also the cousin of King Ji.
The tree in the middle of the court has big roots and deep roots. If you serve as the governor of the outer city guard, you will offend King Ji; but if you do it inappropriately, you will also offend His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. What should we do?
Li Yuanyin was a loyal and righteous person. It was because of his loyalty that he persuaded his adoptive father Li Chengdong to return to the Ming Dynasty. A loyal and righteous person valued orthodoxy the most. He felt that the crown prince was the eldest son of the royal family. The emperor was seriously ill, and the prince's name as supervisor of the country was justified. Yes.
With this thought, I accepted the imperial edict.
"Your Majesty, Li Yuanyin, kowtows to thank my Emperor for his grace!"
"Okay, Uncle Guangchang understands the righteousness well. His Highness the Crown Prince really did not misjudge the person." Gu Yi was extremely happy, "Please ask Uncle Guangchang to help His Highness the Crown Prince control the imperial army in the outer city."
Li Yuanyin nodded, ordered Xuanping Bo Dong Fangce to rectify the soldiers and horses of the Fujun Town, and followed Gu Yi and himself to the Forbidden Army Camp in the Outer City near Fengtai Gate.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be an empty camp. The outer city guarding governor, Xingye Marquis Yang Fuchen and a group of subordinate officials and bodyguards all disappeared, and the sealing talisman naturally disappeared.
I finally found a few servants and said that there was a group of bandits outside the city, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil, so the governor led his troops to quell the chaos.
Gu Yi, Li Yuanyin, and Zhao Desheng went to search outside the city, and sure enough, they found several corpses and some discarded weapons thirty miles away from the west city. But when they searched again, there was no news, and there were no bandits or soldiers.
.
Everyone had no choice but to go to the Longhu Town camp of the Forbidden Army next to Jiangdong Gate, hoping to subdue Longhu Town. Unexpectedly, the chief soldier of Longhu Town, Yuan'an Bo Chen Youlong, had already prepared a tight formation and was guarding it tightly. He did not dare to let go without seeing the governor's seal.
Foreign troops enter the camp.
Seeing that there was no opportunity to take advantage of it, Gu Yi had no choice but to let Li Yuanyin and Zhao Desheng station themselves at the Forbidden Army camp in the outer city next to Fengtai Gate, and wait for Yang Fuchen to come back after quelling the chaos. He then returned to the palace to return to the crown prince Zhu Ruoji.

??
The cabinet of the Ming Dynasty was located in Wenyuan Pavilion in the east of the palace city. All the cabinet ministers were Wenqu stars in the sky, so the cabinet naturally had to be located in Wenyuan Pavilion.
While Gu Yi was busy announcing the decree and gathering military power for the crown prince, a life-and-death struggle was also going on within the cabinet. Of course, civil servants did not need a knife to kill, but only their mouths.
The focus of the dispute between the two sides is the legality of the imperial edict issued by the crown prince to supervise the country.
At this time, Gu Yi, a bachelor of Wuyingdian Palace, went to the military camp. Sun Jinding, a bachelor of Jianji Palace, Zheng Feng, a bachelor of Wenhua Palace, and Yu Chaoxiang, a bachelor of Dongge Palace, all said they were sick and recuperated at home. In the entire cabinet, only the chief minister was left.
There are three assistants: Guan Shouzhen, the Grand Scholar of Jianji Hall, Su Guansheng, the Grand Scholar of Jianji Hall, and Chen Bangyan, the Grand Scholar of Dongge.
"Mr. Su Ge, Mr. Chen Ge, the crown prince is the prince. The emperor is seriously ill, and the prince oversees the country. It is in accordance with the laws of heaven and the people. What's wrong?" Guan Shouzhen looked at Su Guansheng and Chen Bangyan and said unhurriedly.
.
His calmness aroused Chen Bangyan's vigilance. Looking at the old fox's appearance, he seemed to have prepared a backup plan for the prince to supervise the country. Where did his best friend Gu Yi go? At this critical moment, if Gu Yi is not in the cabinet, there must be someone else.
Conspiracy!
However, the party struggle was fierce, and Chen Bangyan did not bother to investigate Gu Yi's whereabouts. He had to ask someone to bring a letter to King Ji, telling him to be careful. Then, he calmly replied to Guan Shouzhen's words, "This edict is very suspicious."
Firstly, when His Majesty summoned us two months ago, he was in good spirits, so why did he suddenly become seriously ill? Secondly, since His Majesty became seriously ill, he has prohibited ministers from visiting him. What is the reason for being so sneaky? Thirdly,
The Holy One is still there, so why does the Crown Prince need to supervise the country? I request to see the Holy One. If it is really the Holy Will, then please ask His Highness the Crown Prince to supervise the country."
Guan Shouzhen sighed and shed tears, "The dragon's body is dying, and he fell into a coma after the Holy Spirit dictated this edict. The imperial doctor said that he must rest quietly, avoid hearing sounds, and avoid seeing strangers. Therefore, the Queen and His Highness the Prince forbade it.
Foreign ministers visited. The imperial edict is complete and complete, so how can it be false? Mr. Chen Ge did not obey the emperor's order. Is he trying to resist the imperial edict?"
"Hmph! How can we convince people of such a big event without meeting the Holy One?" Chen Bangyan flicked his sleeves.
"When Your Majesty's condition improves, the Queen will naturally allow me to see Long Yan." Guan Shouzhen changed the subject and faced Su Guansheng, "What do you think, Mr. Su Ge?"
Su Guansheng smiled bitterly. The situation in the court was unpredictable. Sun Jinding, Zheng Feng, and Yu Chaoxiang all three old foxes claimed to be ill. Zheng Feng said that before he fell ill, he wanted to bring him with him, but he flatly refused. Are you kidding? As a cabinet minister, in order to avoid disaster,
If you don’t stay in the cabinet office, who will entrust national affairs to? This is dereliction of duty!
As expected, I got involved in this whirlpool because I was loyal to my duty.
In order to avoid disaster, he did not dare to express his position. This has never been the style of this "three-don't-want master". Su Guansheng smiled plainly and made his point clear: "The prince overseeing the country is of great importance, so it is better to wait until he sees Long Yan before telling the world.
.However, the country cannot be without a king for a day, and the crown prince can be asked to take care of the government affairs for the emperor first."
This is actually against the prince supervising the country, and only agrees to let him temporarily manage the government for the emperor.
Chen Bangyan was overjoyed. He thought he was alone, but unexpectedly, this "Three Don't Want Master" dared to speak up and opposed the crown prince's supervision of the country. He was truly a tough guy!
Guan Shouzhen frowned. Unexpectedly, Su Guansheng objected. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw Gu Yifeng rushing back to the cabinet in a hurry.
"Brother Guan, the matter is basically done. Yan Xiaoyong and He Jiuyi have taken over the defense of the imperial city and palace city; Bai Wenxuan and Zhao Yinxuan have not completely controlled the capital garrison, but they have settled in the capital's Forbidden Army camp; Yang Fuchen's whereabouts are unknown, and Li Yuanyin is willing to surrender
"Prince, I have appointed him as the governor, and Zhao Desheng as the deputy governor, and strive to take control of the garrison in the outer city as soon as possible," Gu Yi whispered into Guan Shouzhen's ear.
Guan Shouzhen's frown relaxed. Among the eight towns of the Forbidden Army, the three towns stationed in the palace city and the imperial city were the most important. The center of the imperial court was all in the imperial palace. Now that the Duke of Fujian Yan Xiaoyong and Ning Haibo He Jiuyi have taken control
As long as he has taken the initiative in the military power of the imperial city and the palace city, there is nothing to fear.
He chuckled and said: "Of the seven ministers, two agree and two oppose, we can only ask the three elders who are recovering at home to discuss the matter because of their illness! Come, send troops to invite the three elders." One "soldier"
"" is a word with a strong accent. It is also true that big things cannot be done without soldiers!
As soon as Gu Yi appeared, Chen Bangyan knew something was wrong. Hearing Guan Shouzhen say that he would send troops to ask for the old man to recuperate, he immediately guessed that there was something wrong with the military power of the Forbidden Army. Even though he was weather-beaten, he broke out in a cold sweat. However,
, after all, he was a famously ruthless man in the Ming Dynasty. Although he was anxious in his heart, he didn't show it at all on his face. He smiled politely at Guan Shoufu and nodded.
There is an endless stream of people who are willing to serve for the prince, like crucian carp crossing the river. As soon as Guan Shouzhen, the leader of the princeling party, spoke, there were three general soldiers loyal to the prince: Hu Yiqing, Zhang Guoyong, and Yang Bangda, each with hundreds of warriors.
He died, Xiongjiujiu, and walked proudly to the old house of the pavilion where the three people said they were ill.
When Mr. Ge encounters soldiers, he can’t explain why!
Sun Jinding, Zheng Feng, and Yu Chaoxiang, the three great bachelors, were hugged, dragged, and carried by these military gentlemen. They were invited to get on the sedan chair and go to the cabinet.
Under the instruction of Guan Shoufu, the military elders also started ideological work for the pavilion elders.
"Mr. Sunge, Your Majesty is seriously ill. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, will supervise the country. This is what the people want. If you don't agree, you are a traitor. I don't know how many soldiers want to eliminate traitors for the country!"
"Mr. Zheng Ge, if His Highness the Crown Prince cannot supervise the country, the angry soldiers may set your house on fire."
"Old Yuge, if you oppose His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's supervision of the country, I will recognize you, but the knife in my hand will not recognize you!"
The ideological work done by the soldiers was very effective. After coming to the cabinet, all three of them had a clear attitude.
"Chief Minister, you want His Highness the Crown Prince to supervise the country with just one word. Why is this necessary?" Sun Jinding shook his sleeves angrily.
"First Assistant, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's supervision of the country is a move that conforms to the people's will, so I agree." Zheng Feng also reluctantly agreed.
"I also agree that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will supervise the country." Prime Minister Yu also expressed his deep agreement.
"The three cabinet elders did not hesitate to sacrifice themselves for the country, and they discussed matters even when they were ill. They are role models for courtiers. Come, please serve tea to the cabinet elders quickly." Guan Shouzhen said with a smile: "Since most of the cabinet elders agree with His Highness the Crown Prince's supervision of the country, in my opinion
, the grand ceremony of supervising the country will be held tomorrow."
