After Tian Qu finished speaking, everyone present, including the clan members and civil and military ministers who had just arrived, were stunned. They all looked at Emperor Ningkang and the Supreme Emperor.
Emperor Ningkang's expression remained unchanged, but the expression of the Supreme Emperor became gloomy. The old Long Qi on the dragon throne couldn't help but lean from the left to the right.
He looked at Emperor Ning Kang coldly, "So, I am the mastermind of today's rebellion."
The Supreme Emperor spoke with his usual majesty and endless mockery.
Everyone present was trembling with fear. This was their instinctive fear when faced with the emperor who dominated the world and had killed and taken away the lives of hundreds of millions of people for decades.
The vast majority of them have lived in the world ruled by the Supreme Emperor since they were born.
Facing the Emperor who looked cold and spoke with anger, Emperor Ningkang was the only one who acted calmly at this time.
He stood upright in front of the seated Supreme Emperor, and for the first time he truly looked down at his father.
After the commotion subsided, he said calmly: "Father, there is no need to be angry. This is just that he deliberately used his father's name in order to confuse the rebels.
Although the son-in-law and the father-in-law have differences in the way of governing the country, both the son-in-chief and the father-in-law are trying to protect the country and country that their ancestors worked so hard to build.
Therefore, how could a son and minister be resentful of his father, let alone do something as treacherous as forcing the palace to seize power?"
Emperor Ningkang's words attracted the approval and agreement of some people, who all spoke out to persuade the Supreme Emperor not to listen to the rumors.
However, more scheming people have already seen from the current situation and the conversation between the two saints that there must be something fishy about what happened today. Therefore, they are all waiting to see what happens and do not dare to speak carelessly until the situation is clear.
The Supreme Emperor ignored those who spoke, he still stared at Emperor Ning Kang coldly, and said for a long time: "According to what you said, what happened today was really all done by the prince?
I am actually very curious. He has done a good job as your crown prince, so why does he go to so much trouble and start an army in my name... What is his purpose?"
Emperor Ningkang said: "I don't know the thoughts of Nizi. Maybe he saw that my son has been sitting in this position for too long, and he can't wait any longer, so he is like this."
The Supreme Emperor looked slightly suffocated.
This year is only the seventh year of Ningkang. But according to his own reign, it has been more than fifty years. The specific number is more than fifty, he can't remember clearly.
He looked at Emperor Ning Kang, who looked calm from beginning to end, and for the first time he began to look squarely at his prince.
He knew that the other party hated him in his heart after all.
He also knows that no matter how this incident develops in the end, no matter who wins or loses, the relationship between father and son is over.
There was great anger in his heart!
He valued him so much that he put the whole world into his hands, and this is how he repaid him?
Thinking of this, he no longer cared about maintaining the dignity of the emperor between the two of them. He looked at Emperor Ning Kang mockingly: "No wonder you have deliberately alienated and isolated him since my birthday banquet, forcing him to continue to care about you."
Hua Gong came to complain to me.
I'm afraid that from that moment on, you plan to let him, the prince, bear the reputation of being unfaithful and unfilial for you.
It's hard for you to do such a good job.
Let me think about it, well, you must have promised him that after the incident is over, you will clear his name and say that he was bewitched by me?
Hehehe...
Don't you know that once the stigma is recognized, it is not that simple to wash it away?
Aren't you afraid that your prince will treat you the same way you treat me?"
Everyone around was confused.
Judging from the current situation, it is clear that the prince is raising his troops to rebel. Why did he listen to the emperor's words and point the finger at Emperor Ningkang?
It's a pity that no one can explain to them.
Emperor Ning Kang glanced at the dazzling sunlight above his head and said anxiously: "If the father is dissatisfied with his son, let's discuss it later.
The situation is critical, and I have already arranged the troops to escort my father back to Beijing safely."
Even after Emperor Ning Kang finished speaking, he did not see any movement. The soldiers from the pro-military camp behind him stepped forward one after another, as if they wanted to escort the Supreme Emperor away.
"Clang~"
The soldiers of the Xiaoqi Battalion who had been displayed on the side for a long time surged forward. They held weapons and weapons, and their momentum was so terrifying that the pro-military camp couldn't help but retreat.
Seeing that the Xiaoqi camp had completely suppressed the pro-military camp, a smile appeared on the Emperor's face. He signaled the young eunuch to push the dragon chair forward until he could see Emperor Ningkang again.
"Since the situation is critical, you'd better take care of yourself first.
With the Qiaoqi camp by my side, my safety will not be compromised.
Could it be that you have forgotten that among the six battalions of the Imperial Guard, the Valiant Cavalry Battalion is the most courageous and adept at fighting.
Mere rebels cannot threaten me."
Emperor Ning Kang's expression finally turned gloomy. Looking at the "satisfied" look of the Supreme Emperor, he waved his hands and turned away without saying a word.
A large number of pro-military soldiers also filed in behind him.
Soon, only the soldiers of the Xiaoqi battalion and a large number of princes and nobles were left looking at each other in confusion.
…
Before Emperor Ningkang returned to his palace, he ordered: "Notify Chen Zhao to attack the mountain with all our strength as planned and cut off all blocking forces."
He also ordered Tian Qu: "Go back and tell Feng Sheng to ask the guard camp to move away from all passes and defense lines. If necessary, cooperate with the troops of the infantry camp and the Beijing camp to wipe out the Xiaoqi camp."
"This slave obeys his orders and is willing to go through fire and water for his master's great cause."
Tian Qu was a close associate of Emperor Ningkang when he was hiding in his residence. After Emperor Ningkang gained power, he gradually became the commander of the Imperial Guard and won the trust of Emperor Ningkang.
His heart was extremely turbulent at this moment.
As long as Emperor Ning Kang succeeds this time, these people can be regarded as following the dragon's merits, and they will naturally be rich and powerful in the future!
Moreover, as people of Emperor Ningkang, they have always been treated as dwarves in the imperial guard system for no reason. They have been oppressed by the Supreme Emperor and his subordinates for many years, which has caused them to hold their breath for a long time.
Naturally, they will not be polite if they attack these people this time.
The Xiaoqi camp is strong and has the largest number of people, but so what?

…
In addition to the soldiers and horses in the capital, the most important ones stationed outside are the north and south camps.
It is said that the northern and southern camps are actually stationed west of the capital.
The tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the two divisions are all under the control of the Beijing camp.
At this time, several high-ranking generals were drinking heavily in the Nan Daying commander's tent.
"I heard that the two saints were hunting in Tiewan Mountain this time, and all the grandsons from Beidaying were transferred to security guards?"
"No, but it's not all, it's half."
"It's my fault! We in Nan Daying have really become stepmothers. How come they always get their turn for good things, and we follow behind and can't even get a piece of shit from them!"
"That's right, now our Nanda Camp is qualified to fight grass bandits.
Alas, I really miss the time when Wang Jiedu was here. At that time, when did our South Camp suffer from the cowardice of Beida Camp?"
"Shh..."
"Quietly. Our current Jiedushi Master came from Peking University Camp. We were originally raised by our stepmother. If we don't know how to be more peaceful, be careful of being remembered by Jiedushi Master. Then life will be even more difficult.
Yeah, hehehehe..."
Accompanied by a burst of laughter, a voice teased: "In my opinion, if you don't give in, Lord Commander, and you will fawn over Chen Jiedu more in the future, who can say that he is a popular person around today's emperor?"
As the saying goes, "one emperor and one court minister, you will not suffer any loss as commander-in-chief. Maybe you will have to be promoted again in the future."
Xu Da, the commander of Nanda Camp who was sitting at the top and had eaten a lot of wine, shook his head.
It's impossible for him to surrender to a junior. Anyway, even if he doesn't surrender, the other party can't do anything to him. He will just sit on the bench and enjoy his leisure time. Anyway, he can be raised in a few years.
So he took advantage of his drunkenness and cursed: "What the hell is this Chen Zhao? Does he deserve to be submissive to me?"
If any of you are weak and want to curry favor with him and live a better life, just go ahead and I will never stop you."
"That's right! He, a semi-monk, actually took Wang Jiedu's place, and still lorded it over our brothers?
I don’t know about others, but brother is the first one to refuse to accept it!”
One old man staggered up to the top to propose a toast, while another lost his balance and fell on the table, causing countless ridicules.
He didn't care, and after struggling to get up, he continued, "I still don't believe that Chen Zhao can cover the sky with one hand for how long! Hahaha, I was ashamed of him even if he said he was Jiedushi.
We have a total of five troops in the Beijing Camp Headquarters. Who else will listen to him except the Peking Camp?
I heard that even in the Beida Camp, there are many brothers who don't like him. He is a Jiedushi, if he didn't have His Majesty behind him to support him, he would be nothing!"
These words made a group of generals raised by stepmothers burst into laughter and shouted: "Xie Guerrilla is right!!"
Xu Da also raised his wine glass with a smile, preparing to accept the toast from his old subordinate.
Suddenly he felt alert, and he took away his arm that was blocking his sight. He saw a bright dagger in Xie Jing's hand who was sitting in front of him, and stabbed him quickly.
Although he tried his best to hide, but because he had been sitting for a long time and drank too much, his body was not in control at all, and he just watched helplessly as the sharp dagger easily pierced his chest.
"ah!!"
He let out a scream, and his body struggled to fall back due to the severe pain...
All the generals who were drinking in the hall were shocked.
For a moment, it was as if an acupuncture point had been tapped, and he stood motionless in place.
Until he was awakened by Xu Da's continuous screams.
"Xie Jing, what are you doing!"
"You're crazy!!"
Facing the aggressive colleagues, Xie Jing seemed calm and calm.
He picked up the dagger in his hand and took a look at the depth of blood on the dagger, knowing that Xu Da was a god and could not be saved.
At this time, Xu Da's two guards finally reacted, drew their swords, howled, and rushed forward to avenge their master.
"哐啷~!"
A huge sound sounded.
It turned out to be the general who was sitting next to Xie Jing at the table. He first threw the wine glass he had been holding on the ground. Then he took the saber on the side and jumped in front of Xie Jing with a short step.
cover.
Who knew that Xu Da's bodyguard was not mediocre, but he could not resist it alone, which led to dangers all around.
Fortunately, the previous signal worked.
Just after he was stabbed twice and Xie Jing rolled and climbed several times, dozens of aggressive and armored soldiers rushed in and cooperated with them to kill and capture the two guards.
The battle happened suddenly and ended abruptly.
The drunken generals had just picked up their sabers, and before they could figure out which side they were helping, they were already surrounded.
They were furious: "Xie Jing, are you going to rebel?!"
Xie Jing was a little embarrassed, but his smile was genuine.
He stood up from the ground and wiped the bloody dagger in his hand leisurely.
"rebel?"
"I'm afraid it's not me who's rebelling, but you."
How can everyone understand Xie Jing's crazy words?
However, Xie Jing was not in a hurry to tell them apart. He walked up to Xu Da, who was clutching his bright red chest and looking painful and angry, and apologized: "Old man, don't blame me.
When you reach your current position, it is considered the end, and you can wait for your support with peace of mind.
But I can't.
I also want to rise to another level, and to raise the title left by my ancestors to another level.
Second-class man? It’s so low, so low that I’m embarrassed to hear other people introduce me like that.
Now that I finally have this opportunity, I can't let it go. If I want to blame you, it's because you are too stubborn and don't know how to adapt. I have tested you, but you have no intention...
Alas, you should understand how you can avoid the storm vortex in your position."
Hearing what Xie Jing said, Xu Da's eyes changed slightly, and the resentment on his face relaxed a little, and the questions that he could not voice out due to pain also remained in his heart.
He said tremblingly: "Yes, Your Majesty...? You...are not afraid..."
Xie Jing knew what Xu Da wanted to ask.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "From today on, maybe Chao Gang will truly be unified!"
After saying this, Xie Jing ignored the dying Xu Da and faced the generals again.
Seeing some generals' expressions flickering, he knew what they were thinking and spoke to shatter their illusions.
"Don't try to resist, my people are guarding the outside now.
If you know the current situation, I can spare your lives, and we can all stay here in peace and wait for something to happen.
If you're restless, I don't mind sending you on your way now."
Everyone was shocked and couldn't believe that Xie Jing had such courage.
You know, almost all the senior generals in the entire Nanda Camp are in the hall!
But looking at Xu Da who was almost silent in the corner, they couldn't believe it.
Xie Jing, he even killed the commander-in-chief!
Then someone trembled: "Xie Jing, you... are so brave, you..."
After all, I couldn't say anything harsh.
Although they are all leading generals, they are still in a daze and cannot understand the situation. Naturally, they do not have the courage to take five steps with blood splattered in anger.
Seeing that they were honest, Xie Jing was really relieved and began to adopt a gentle policy and collect weapons.
Although according to his orders, he can kill all these people if necessary.
But not to mention that these people are his colleagues after all, and they have some kind of affection after working together for so many years. It is impossible to clearly understand how many relatives and friends this group of people in high positions have.
Unless he had to, he didn't want to make too many enemies.
It would be better to keep them and wait for Emperor Ningkang's final disposition.
Now that Xu Da is dead and the senior generals are under his control, the 30,000 soldiers and horses of Nan Daying will not pose a threat to Emperor Ning Kang's plan.
At the same time.
Similar situations occurred in Beida Camp and Si Ma Camp, which were also stationed outside the city but had fewer soldiers and horses.
But there is no "soft-hearted" Xie Jing in these places.
All events are paved with bright red blood.
The same is true in the capital city.
The change of supreme power has always been at the expense of human life.
In the entire capital city, nine gates were closed and martial law was imposed inside and outside.
(The capital of the Wei Dynasty did not have inner and outer cities, only the capital city, the imperial city and the Forbidden City)
Officers and soldiers of the Jin Yiwei were constantly galloping on the streets of the capital, sealing off various places.
There are even rumors that the arrogant and unreasonable Jin Yiwei broke into the homes of the usually aloof and powerful people, arrested them without explanation, and even hacked them to death.
In the imperial city, the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guard were also panic-stricken.
They found that none of them could contact their superiors. Even the superiors who could be contacted all had solemn expressions and ordered them to guard the barracks and not dare to act rashly.
The pro-military camp, the protective army camp, the guard infantry camp and the Jin Yiwei made such a big noise, it was impossible to hide it from others.
Perhaps they never thought about hiding anything from anyone, but just carried out their respective tasks in accordance with the orders left by Emperor Ningkang before leaving Beijing:
Kill and control all the die-hard loyalists of the Supreme Emperor as much as possible.
This was a shocking coup. It was also a premeditated, calculated and unintentional murder.
