Yan Huisheng didn't want to talk nonsense with Yan Lin anymore.
He turned around and said to the emperor above him: "My father is wise, but I have no choice but to do this. As the crown prince, I have already learned from my father to guard against General Pingxi's Mansion, and I have full authority to deal with the matters related to General Pingxi's Mansion."
All things considered, in order to stabilize the capital in the rear and stabilize the Chao Gang and the country, I have no choice but to postpone the dispatch of troops to Nanping for support by the Protectorate Lords. I hope that my father will forgive me."
Although the emperor's face was not good, it was true that as Yan Huisheng said, it was impossible for him to punish him. After all, now that General Pingxi's mansion had really rebelled, Zhang Ping was so ambitious that he really wanted to seize his kingdom. The second prince, Yan Linzhao,
Seen this way, it is useless. He can no longer punish the prince. Even if he secretly joins forces with the Protectorate to mobilize troops, he will not be approved. Otherwise, the government will be unstable, the country will be in chaos, and there will be a danger of overthrowing.
, how else could he sit in this chair?
Today's Yan Huisheng is no longer the Yan Huisheng who was suppressed by him in the past, and the same is true for today's Duke Protector's Mansion. He really listened to Yan Huisheng's orders, and he, the Nine Five Supreme Being, has almost become a decoration.
But what can he do? Now he can only trust his son and has no intention of killing his father.
The emperor took a deep breath and echoed to Yan: "The prince is considering this."
He asked Yan Huishi, "How did you mobilize your troops after you got the news?"
Yan Huisheng briefly explained to the emperor how he would deploy his troops.
The emperor felt relieved, "So, Nanping can definitely be saved?"
"Not necessarily. But Su Rong and Zhou Gu are both in Nanping. The Marquis of Nanping and the Crown Prince will also try their best to defend Nanping. The second son Zhou Shen and the third son Zhou Che of the Protector's Mansion will also march quickly to Nanping for rescue."
Yan echoed: "Now, the top priority is Nanping, but it is not because Nanping's ministers are afraid of Pingxi General Zhang Ping's real purpose. The troops are divided into two groups to attack the capital."
The emperor's expression changed drastically.
The faces of the courtiers also changed.
Yan echoed: "This is very possible. Zhang Ping has been connived by his father for many years. He has used the treasury to enrich himself and raise soldiers and horses privately. I have sent people to find out. The amount is no less than 400,000. This is
When he returned, he sent troops to attack Nanping and mobilized 200,000 troops. The remaining 200,000 troops were unable to hold the troops stationed in northern Hebei."
The emperor was a little panicked, "Besides attacking Nanping, where else is he going to attack? Now he has got the news?"
Yan Hui shook his head, "I haven't received the news yet, but this is the most terrifying thing. I guessed that the fastest and shortest way to the capital is Qingshan City, but there is no news so far. I am afraid that Qingshan City has already been destroyed by him."
He bribed and opened the city gates privately. The next city is Longxi County. So based on time, if he really bribes Qingshan City and attacks Longxi County, there will definitely be news within three days."
The emperor was speechless for a moment, and was frightened by Yan Huisheng's speculation. His heart was pounding. If he remembered correctly, Longxi County only had a few thousand troops.
A minister spoke on behalf of the emperor with a pale face: "Your Highness, now that you have figured it out, can you send troops to Longxi County?"
Yan Hui shook his head, "The Duke Protector's Mansion is in charge of 300,000 soldiers and horses, but Gu has transferred 200,000 away, leaving only 100,000 soldiers and horses left to guard the South Pass, which is the only entrance to the capital. Gu does not dare to mobilize easily.
"
The emperor was anxious, "I still have 100,000 troops in Beijing. Why don't you dare to mobilize troops?"
Now he was no longer dissatisfied with Yan Huisheng's private alliance with the Protector's Office to mobilize troops. He just felt that since he had surmised and had not done enough, he should send out the troops from the Protector's Office.
Yan Huisheng looked at the emperor, glanced at Yan Lin from the corner of his eye, and said quietly: "Father, are you sure you are really in charge of the one hundred thousand soldiers and horses at the foot of the capital?"
The emperor immediately shouted and asked: "What are you talking about? I can't be the master, who else can be the master?"
"Second brother, why don't you tell your father, Chen He, who is in charge of the military camp in Beijing, that you give him one hundred thousand taels of silver every year. Where do those silver taels come from? And you have been sending them to the Second Prince's Mansion for seven or eight years in a row.
, there really is a way to make money and a way to make money.”
As soon as Yan Huisheng said this, the whole court was shocked.
The emperor's face turned as black as coal, and he stood up immediately, "Yan Lin!"
Yan Lin looked at Yan Huisheng in disbelief and wanted to ask him how he knew that this matter was secret. He sent it through Zhang Ping. Logically speaking, Yan Huisheng should not find out. Zhang Ping...
When he thought of Zhang Ping, his whole body suddenly softened.
Yan Huisheng had already noticed Zhang Ping's rebellious intentions, so he naturally sent people to Northern Hebei to investigate. It didn't seem surprising that they could find out this matter.
When the emperor saw Yan Lin's tense expression, he didn't understand anything. He was furious and almost vomited blood. "Yan Lin, you are really my good son. You dare to touch the Jinglu soldiers and horses in my hands."
.”
As he said this, he stepped down from the dragon chair, came to Yan Lin, and kicked Yan Lin angrily.
Yan Lin didn't dare to hide. The emperor used all his strength and he was kicked to the ground, screaming miserably.
The emperor was not relieved and kicked him a few more times, venting his anger on Yan Lin, "You are really my good son, such a good son, I will kill you today."
He shouted, "Bring me my sword."
The courtiers were all frightened. After so many years, the emperor had been quite weak since he was the prince. He still relied on the old protector and the eldest princess of Sheng'an to ascend the throne. After he ascended the throne, although he was suspicious, he was still a peaceful person.
It is rare to see an angry monarch.
Now the court actually wants to kill the second prince.
But thinking about what the second prince Yan Lin did, it seemed that he was no exception.
That's one hundred thousand soldiers and horses that are more important than the Forbidden Army. Over the years, the emperor has treated the soldiers and horses in Jinglu just like the Forbidden Army, clinging to one hundred thousand soldiers and horses. This is the confidence that the emperor can sleep peacefully, but he has no
It occurred to me that things had been leaking out since seven or eight years ago. And the emperor, who had been like this for seven or eight years without realizing it, had not yet suppressed the prince, and during these seven or eight years, he did not feel that he had done anything wrong.
"Father, father, I am wrong, I was bewitched by Zhang Ping. Father, father, think about it, haven't you allowed Zhang Ping to raise soldiers and horses privately in these years? I, I,
I'm sharing my father's worries." Yan Lin was so panicked that he vomited a mouthful of blood after being kicked by the emperor, but he didn't dare to faint, so he lay on the ground, hugging the emperor's thigh and begging for mercy.
The emperor was so furious that he couldn't lift his feet and stared at Yan Lin. Hearing him mention what he had done in conniving Zhang Ping over the years, he couldn't breathe, his vision went dark, and he pouted.
Yan Huisheng, with quick eyesight and quick hands, stretched out his hand to support the emperor. Seeing that he had fainted, he immediately shouted to someone, "Quickly announce the imperial doctor."
Then, he kicked Yan Lin away and said in a deep voice: "Come here, throw Yan Lin into the sky prison until father wakes up."
