After deciding what to do outside the palace, Zhao Zongshi, Han Qi, Wang Gongchen, Wu Kui, and Meng Yang began to discuss how to deal with the situation inside the palace. In fact, they mainly listened to what Han Qi said.
"Unless it's absolutely necessary, we can't mess around in the palace, otherwise our rulers and ministers will suffer consequences in the future. So the key is still Di Qing. I don't ask him to help me. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, we can be sure of victory." Han Qi said solemnly.
"My dear, since Di Qing's position is so important." Wu Kui gritted his teeth and said, "Can't we get rid of him and let our people take charge of the Imperial City Division?"
"It is precisely because his position is so important that he has to be cautious. If Di Qing is forced to the opposite side, the trouble will be big." Meng Yang understood Han Qi's intention, "Since my husband said he would deal with Di Qing, then we
Just don’t worry.”
"That's what I asked." Wu Kui smiled nervously. The initial excitement had faded, and he began to feel fear.
"You must first find out whether there is a posthumous edict. If you are sure there is not, the prince can naturally enter the palace. If there is a posthumous edict, then it is impossible to say. You must make a prompt decision and control the situation. Unfortunately, the Ouchi guards have been replaced, so the prince must lead the troops
Go in." Han Qi said in a deep voice: "As long as we can bring the soldiers in, we will be sure."
"Then take out the edict we wrote and ask the queen to announce it. If the official is still alive at that time, he will be appointed as the prince to supervise the country. If he is already in heaven, he will be directly appointed as the emperor and ascend the throne, and everyone will be alive.
, you have the winning ticket, you can just make any move you want later.”
After Han Qi finished speaking, he gave a deep salute to Zhao Zongshi and said: "The queen will leave it to the prince!"
"Yes." Zhao Zongshi's face tightened, and he nodded heavily: "Leave it to me!"
"What should we do with Wen Yanbo?" Wu Kui asked: "This guy is also a big trouble. How about labeling him a rebel?"
"Wen Yanbo is not Chen Ke." Han Qi shook his head and said: "He is a dignified prime minister. His disciples and old officials are all over the court. Doing that will cause big troubles." After a pause, he said: "Just trap him in the mansion and wait until the overall situation is solved."
It’s been decided to release it later.”
"Plans that are too complicated will never succeed." Han Qi finally said in a deep voice: "You must remember two goals, a legacy to pass the throne to the prince, and at the same time, control of Bianjing's army. Other than that, do not
Spend more energy anywhere. Since you have decided to fight, just go all out, or you will be punished if you don't succeed!" He stood up and said: "Let's go separate ways!"
"yes!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It wasn't just Zhao Zongshi and his group who saw the fireworks.
Located at the foot of the imperial city, in the front office of the palace on Xijiaolou Street, Marshal Di had been awakened by the report and put on a black cloak. He came to the White Tiger Festival Hall.
"Marshal," the officer on duty reported in a deep voice, "I have already asked about the situation inside through the palace gate. The young marshal said that someone set off a red firework near Funing Palace, and then the guards of Kunning Palace began to search.
, and ordered the young marshal that without the Queen's decree, no one is allowed to open the palace door even an inch!" The person who stayed in the palace that night was Di Qing's second son Di Yong. Hence the title.
I heard that the person giving orders in the palace was actually the queen. Di Qing's complexion changed drastically, and his tiger body actually trembled slightly... His mind was overwhelmed by great sadness. His benefactor, his majesty, the object of his lifelong loyalty,
Eighty percent of it is no longer possible...
The officer on duty was an old subordinate who had fought with him in the north and south. Seeing the marshal's eyes filled with tears, he asked in a low voice: "Marshal, do we need to take measures?"
"..." No one knows better than Di Qing how heavy the burden is on his shoulders at this moment. This steel-reinforced military god suppressed his grief in an instant and hissed: "Send orders to the city gate officials everywhere, and there is no commander."
Warrant: No one is allowed to open the city gate without permission! In addition, officers from the two divisions and above are ordered to come to the Yamen immediately to assemble. If they don't arrive within half an hour, military law will be engaged!" Bianjing City is so big that officers are scattered all over the place.
, half an hour is already very tight.
"Here." The duty officer hurried down to deliver the order and almost bumped into the soldier who came in in a hurry. The soldier passed by him without even saying hello. The duty officer immediately felt something was wrong and frowned: "
Who are you, stop!"
The soldier ignored him, but quickly walked to Di Qing and stood in front of him, pushing up the red tasseled felt hat on his head.
Di Qing originally held the handle of the knife, preparing to kill this dangerous guy. But after seeing the opponent's face clearly, he immediately let go of the handle of the knife, grabbed his hand and said: "Come in quickly!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Han Xianggong acted vigorously and resolutely. When he came out of Prince Lu's Mansion, he went straight to the Si Yamen in front of the palace. There was nothing he could do about it. Who told Zhao Zongshi not to have any wind beforehand and launch a surprise attack? In this way, when he was called from home to the Prince's Mansion,
It’s been an hour since we accepted reality, made choices, and made plans!
However, there was still an hour before the palace gate opened, and there was still time. He worked together to deal with Di Qing, and he could still catch up with the palace gate to open.
Han Qi has full confidence in dealing with Di Qing. This kind of confidence has been accumulated over many years... On the northwest battlefield twenty years ago, he was the general manager of Qin Feng Road and Di Qing was the deputy general manager, so he was able to make him submissive.
Later, when the officialdom was up and down, Di Qing became the Privy Councilor, and he became the Third Secretary Envoy, under Di Qing. However, Han Xianggong still treated his subordinates as he did in the past. Although he was a little more polite, he never treated the two ministers as they should.
Some are humble.
And what about Di Qing? No matter how old he became, he was still the humble thief in the army. Not only did he accept this upside-down relationship, but he also often visited Han Qi's mother and interacted with Han Qi's son as before.
We are equal to each other...
With Xianggong Han's current dignity, what can't be done if he goes to meet this old subordinate who treats him with respect?
What's more, with Han Xianggong's methods, even if the rebel army turns against him and refuses to recognize him, he can still capture him. It's just a little more troublesome!
Just as I was thinking about it, the sedan stopped in front of the yamen in front of the palace. Although it was midnight, the yamen responsible for the defense of Bianjing was still brightly lit. Only when this yamen operates day and night can the people of the capital sleep peacefully.
.
The housekeeper held Han Qi's name card and walked towards the doorman. When he learned that Mr. Han was coming, the doorman jumped up as if he had been electrocuted and flew in to report.
In a moment, the middle door of the front office of the palace was suddenly opened, and dozens of soldiers wearing brand-new uniforms rushed out in two lines like ink lines.
Before the two rows of soldiers stood still, Di Qing strode out, bowed deeply to Han Qi and said, "My husband is coming here at night, and I am sorry for the delay in greeting Han Qi from afar!"
Han Qi raised his hands and hissed: "The uninvited guest came uninvited. Didn't he disturb Han Chen's dream?"
"What are you talking about, Mr. Xian?" Di Qing said and let him in. The two of them walked to the second hall. Di Qing invited Han Qi to take the seat and stayed with him. After serving tea, Fang asked: "Mr.
Come here, but for the red fireworks?"
"Yes." Han Qi nodded, thinking that he had indeed seen it, "Needless to say, something happened in the palace, and I was very uneasy, so I came to you quickly."
"What are your orders, husband?" Di Qing said cheerfully.
"Now the city defense of Bianjing and the garrison of the palace are all in the hands of your father and son. It is no exaggeration to say that." Seeing Di Qing's cooperation, Han Qi thought, "Sure enough," but did not dare to say carelessly: "Now you have the power to make the Song Dynasty Jiangshan
The ability to change dynasties!"
"My husband, Xiangxiu, said this," Di Qing said with fear and sweat: "Han ministers have no second thoughts! If you make false statements, the sky will strike with thunder!"
"Don't be nervous, I'm just comparing it like this. Of course I believe you, otherwise I wouldn't come here late at night." Seeing that he was frightened, Han Qi smiled lightly and said: "Now that the country is in trouble, I need your help to help the country.
, it is now that a man makes great achievements! Hanchen, can you promise to obey my orders?"
"Of course everything will be accepted!" Di Qing said, patting his chest.
"Well, you gather the two generals and assistants together. I have a decree to announce to you." Han Qi said in a deep voice.
"What a coincidence." Di Qing chuckled and said, "To prevent accidents, I have already called them all, and they should all be here by now."
"That's very good." How could Han Qi not know that Di Qing was summoning his subordinates all over the world? He just wanted to test whether he had told the truth to him. Hearing this, he made up his mind and said: "Excuse me, Han Chen, to lead the way. I and I
As soon as they meet."
"Here." Di Qing stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Husband, please invite me!"
"Please." Han Qi asked for something, so he naturally gave him enough face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the White Tiger Festival Hall, more than a hundred guards, Yuhou, the commander, Du Yuhou, and the deputy commander were summoned by the commander Weiye, but they didn't give the order for a long time. They were very angry because of the wait. But their external performance was completely different.
.
A considerable number of officers, even though they were in the important places of the festival hall, still whispered to each other and cursed in a low voice... These were generals who were born in the military and had been with them for generations. They relied on their strong family connections and had deep connections in the army. Although Di Qing was strict in his military management, they were not afraid of him. After all, they were not afraid of him.
Di Qing set up his own army, and his foundation was in the border army. Although he had the trust of the officials and was in charge of two departments, his foundation in the Forbidden Army was still weak. If he wanted to be the commander-in-chief, he would not dare to offend them.
The other part is sitting upright, looking straight, and clearly distinguishable from those people. They are Di Qing's old subordinates. Most of these people are from the border army and were brought out by Di Qing. They have been transferred to the two divisions in the past two years...
In the midst of anxiety, they suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, and the generals quickly shut up and stood up to welcome the arrival of the palace commander.
But he saw that there was another person beside Di Qing, wearing a purple official robe and a jade belt around his waist. He had a stern face and walked like a dragon and a tiger. Who else could it be if it wasn't Xianggong Han?
All the generals hurriedly paid homage. Many of them were very humble. In addition to paying homage, they also asked for greetings... These are all old subordinates of Xianggong Han!
Han Qi has concentrated on being the prime minister in these years, as noble as the top of a snow-capped mountain, but back then he made his fortune by leading troops in wars! These officers were promoted by him. Later, after taking charge of the Privy Council, Han Qi transferred them to
The Imperial City Secretary and other key officials attacked the Yamen.
These senior officers who were grateful to their old benefactor were the real confidence for Mr. Han to enter the White Tiger Hall alone!
Di Qing accompanied Han Qi into the White Tiger Hall, and still invited Han Xianggong to occupy the first seat and said to the generals: "Xiangong Han has an edict to announce!"
Seeing the prime minister personally coming to announce the decree, all the generals did not know that something huge was happening. They all stood in silence with bated breath and listened carefully.
