"We don't know the other situation yet. We only heard that the troops from the Fifth Military Camp came out and directly captured Fuchengmen. However, the Shenshu Camp on the other side of Fuchengmen didn't seem to react for a while. Some of them went to Xizhimen, and some of them went to Xizhimen.
Some of them retreated to Xi'an Gate."
Xi'an Gate, Dong'an Gate and Bei'an Gate plus Dazhou Gate are also controlled by the Shangsanqin Army and are garrisoned by the Fourth Guards Battalion.
The capital city can be barely divided into the inner city and the outer city. The outer city is actually an expansion to the south of the original capital city, with the addition of Yibeifang, Baizhifang, Yinanfang, Zhengxifang, Zhengnanfang, and Zhengdong.
There are eight areas: Chongbeifang, Chongnanfang, and the area is similar to the inner city, but the population may be only one-tenth of the inner city, similar to a foreign country.
Going inward from the inner city is the Imperial City, and further inward from the Imperial City is the Palace City, which is the Forbidden City.
The gates of the imperial city are Xi'an Gate, Dong'an Gate and Bei'an Gate, plus Dazhou Gate (Daming Gate) due south and two small gates - Chang'an Right Gate and Chang'an Left Gate.
Feng Ziying felt faintly cold in her heart.
The Fourth Guards Battalion is the troops of Du Keli and Gao Wenxiu. It is also an army without real control. Miao Zhuang and Liao Junxiong were dismissed, but Du Keli was retained. Originally, they were allowed to transition to the Fourth Guards Battalion first.
But there has been no time to adjust, and this has become a huge hidden danger.
At this time, Feng Ziying was no longer worried about the White Lotus Sect's rebellion. He was more worried that if Prince Yi Zhong and Qiu Shiben had colluded long ago and took advantage of the White Lotus Sect's uprising to seize the military power in Beijing, then the situation would suddenly be reversed.
, the advantage of the civil servants in the North Korean and Chinese cabinets will be reversed.
He glanced at Han Xu, who seemed to have not fully reacted yet.
"How did that happen?" Feng Ziying took a deep breath and asked.
"We are not too sure. It was people from Shuntian Prefecture who seized a group of White Lotus cultists. During their arrest, some people fled into the Fifth Army Camp. Officials from Shuntian Prefecture went to negotiate, but the other party later ignored them.
, but after two hours of delay, it turned into this..."
Two hours? This idiot Jia Yucun didn’t report it. How can things involving the military be so simple?
And Zhao Qianshan, as a fellow commander of the Fourth Guards Battalion, didn't he find anything suspicious about Du Keli and Gao Wenxiu?
At this time, Feng Ziying no longer even thought about scolding Jia Yucun and Zhao Qianshan. The most important thing now was to solve the current trouble.
Feng Ziying stood up, waved her hand to stop those who wanted to say more, and felt reassured.
Now he is no longer thinking about the White Lotus Sect's rebellion. He has a feeling that the White Lotus Sect's rebellion may be a trigger, or it may be used by others.
If the White Lotus Sect really rebelled, Feng Ziying would not be worried even if they could gather a group of people in the Fifth Army Camp, because Qiu Shiben would definitely not participate. It is impossible for all of his Vajras to join the White Lotus Sect.
Even if one or two people join, it will only cause a stir, and the main force of the Fifth Army Camp will not be able to cause any trouble.
But if Qiu Shiben had obtained the instructions from Emperor Wan Tong, or even some bullshit like secret edict or blood edict, and then colluded with Du Keli and Gao Wenxiu from the Fourth Guard Camp, it’s hard to say whether this is true or not.
.
The only thing that is fortunate now is that the Banner Guards and the Warrior Battalion are stationed in the palace. These two forces are relatively reliable. Zhang Jin controls the Banner Guards to control the Meridian Gate and Xuanwu Gate, while He Zhisheng's Warrior Battalion controls the Donghua Gate.
and Xihuamen.
"Master Lu, I'm afraid you already understand the danger of the situation, right?" Feng Ziying took a deep breath and looked at the other party with sharp eyes.
Lu Song's face suddenly turned pale, "Master Feng, what do you mean..."
"That's right, I'm afraid something will happen in the palace. I'm not sure about Du Keli and Gao Wenxiu. Zhao Qianshan hasn't given me any news yet. I'm worried that something will happen to Zhao Qianshan." Feng Ziying walked around twice with her hands behind her back, "
You go to the Meridian Gate immediately, Zhang Jin is still reliable. As long as the Meridian Gate and Xuanwu Gate are guarded, I will go to the Xihua Gate to find He Zhisheng. As long as the palace city is stabilized and the people in the palace cannot get out, then we will win more than half."
Han Xu finally reacted at this time, his face suddenly turned pale, and even his beard trembled: "Ziying, you mean the emperor..."
"Huh, whether he can still be the emperor after this depends on the thoughts of the cabinet ministers." Feng Ziying said sullenly and rudely: "Using the White Lotus Sect to play this game will shake the foundation of the country."
"It's not that, it's not that?" Han Xu couldn't believe it at this time, "Did I misunderstand it? It's just the White Lotus Sect..."
"So simple?" Feng Ziying waved her hand, "Mr. Yu, you think people's hearts are too simple. Prime Minister Ye, Prime Minister Fang and Prime Minister Qi still underestimate people. They should wake up after today."
It can be said that this night was the most restless night in Feng Mansion. Not long after Feng Ziying went out, several groups of people rushed to the door of Feng Mansion and knocked on the door, asking to see Feng Ziying.
Shen Xuelin and the other two were all alarmed.
The people who came were all from the Sanqin Army and the Beijing Camp.
People sent by Tu Wenxiu, people sent by Zhao Qianshan, people sent by Yang Zhaoji and He Huchen, and people sent by He Zhisheng.
Wang Wenyan and Wu Yaoqing also rushed to Feng's house.
Fortunately, several parties knew the identities of Wang Wenyan and Wu Yaoqing, so they did not hide them and immediately informed them of the situation.
Shen Yixiu, Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu all appeared in the hall dressed in formal attire.
It was also the first time that Wang Wenyan and Wu Yaoqing saw Dong Weng's three wives appear so solemnly late at night, but he also knew the danger and subtlety of the situation.
"Mr. Wang, what happened? My husband said he was going to the Ministry of Punishment when he left. Why are all the people from the Beijing Camp and the Shangsanqin Army coming to report?" Shen Yixiu did his duty.
Xue Baochai had some physical inconvenience due to her big belly. Lin Daiyu didn't know much about court affairs, so she was the only one to take on this responsibility. However, she was also pregnant, so she shouldn't have to stay up late and get up like this.
"Going back to the three ladies, the situation is still a bit chaotic at the moment. We don't know much about the circumstances of your visit to the Punishment Department, but it is probably related to the situation tonight..." Wang Wenyan pondered for a moment, "From the initial point of view, it should be the Punishment Department,
Long Jinwei and Shuntian Prefecture are investigating the White Lotus Sect. Maybe the White Lotus Sect is involved in the soldiers of the Beijing Camp, but now it seems that it is not that simple. We suspect that the Fifth Army Camp may have taken the opportunity to cause chaos..."
"Rebellion?" Shen Yixiu frowned, "Why did the fifth military camp take the opportunity to cause chaos? Why?"
Wang Wenyan hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice: "Maybe it has something to do with the palace."
Shen Yixiu understood immediately and glanced at Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu subconsciously. Seeing that they were still a little confused, he nodded and said, "I understand, how are you going to deal with it now?"
"We have already sent people to the Ministry of Punishment, but I guess your Excellency has got the news now and may not be still in the Ministry of Punishment, so we also sent people to the four gates of the palace to inform you."
Shen Yixiu nodded.
Wang Wenyan can still see the situation clearly. As long as the palace city is controlled so that outsiders can't get in and people inside can't get out, then the fifth military camp will lose its righteousness if it wants to cause chaos. No matter what he says or does, without this righteousness, those people will lose their righteousness.
Those who are hesitant will not dare to take the road easily.
"What needs to be done in our house?" Shen Yixiu asked again.
"There is no need to do anything, but we have to be just in case. This round of adjustments to the Shangsanqin Army and the Beijing Camp are all handled by adults, so it is inevitable that some people will focus on the mansion, so from now on, we will strengthen the alert in the mansion.
Ordinary people are not allowed to enter or leave until the situation in the city becomes clear..."
Wang Wenyan glanced at Wu Yaoqing and said, "Yaoqing, you need to supervise the guards in the house. Guibao has followed the master, so you should worry more about this."
Wu Yaoqing nodded in agreement.
Feng Ziying was indeed no longer in the Criminal Department, so he rushed to Xihua Gate as quickly as possible.
At Xihua Gate, He Zhisheng had already been guarding the gate in full military uniform.
After boarding the city gate, Feng Ziying looked indifferently at a hundred steps away from the city. People from the warrior camp stopped a group of chamberlains in palace attire aside, and the two sides were negotiating.
"How is the situation?" Feng Ziying asked with a pout.
He saw this group of people arguing with the people from the Warrior Camp in the Xihua Gate from a distance, and he felt that the situation was probably developing towards the worst scenario, which meant that unfortunately, he was right.
He Zhisheng also had an ugly expression on his face, "It's Manager Su who is with the Emperor, requesting to lead a group of people out of the palace."
Feng Ziying's face turned cold, "What's the reason?"
"I just said that the father-in-law is not in good health and the queen wants to go out of the palace to visit..." He Zhisheng had already walked aside: "I saw that the other party was very eager and tough, so I said I would go to the father-in-law's house to ask and report to the Lord first.
, I didn’t expect the master to come so quickly.”
"Oh, you sent someone to my palace?" Feng Ziying nodded, "I understand, no one is allowed to leave the palace."
"But Mr. Su's side..." He Zhisheng hesitated, "And the emperor also sent a decree, asking the humble minister to release them from the palace..."
"Hmph, if the emperor's decree is not countersigned by the cabinet, it is against the rules. If the decree is accepted, others have the right to refuse." Feng Ziying glanced at He Zhisheng, "You don't even understand this rule?"
"Of course I understand the humble position, but General Manager Su deliberately shouted at others, and the soldiers didn't understand the rules here." He Zhisheng smiled bitterly.
"They are all soldiers from the northwest. Don't you even have the skills to say hello?" Feng Ziying's face suddenly turned cold. "The person named Su is a White Lotus cultist. He sneaked into the palace, spread alarm and demagoguery, kidnapped the emperor, and deliberately created
Chaos, let people shoot this guy immediately, and order others to surrender on the spot immediately, otherwise they will be killed without mercy!"
He Zhisheng was startled and glanced at Feng Ziying in disbelief. But when he saw the cold and indifferent look in Feng Ziying's eyes, he immediately understood and nodded heavily, "I'll make arrangements immediately for you."
