According to the agreement between Wang Xian and Zhang Shi, after controlling the Jin Yiwei and the right guard of the Fu army, they attacked Xiyuan by water and land respectively.
Zhang Xi knew very well that his journey would be blocked by the full strength of Zhao Wang's army, which was used to attract firepower and provide cover for Wang Xian. However, Zhang Xi couldn't ask for such an arrangement. Although he chose to bet on the prince and grandson's side,
Still dare not go deep into Xiyuan and get involved in the deadly fight between father, son, grandfather and grandson of the Tian family.
Because the situation is so complex, any excessive force will lead to very different results.
Even after defeating King Zhao, Zhang Min still couldn't decide whether Zhu Di would continue to reign, the prince would take over the throne, or the grandson would directly ascend the throne instead of the prince. Either situation was possible, making it impossible for him to make a judgment. Thinking about it.
Go, you can only try to avoid right and wrong, do your duty, and wait for the dust to settle. No matter which party becomes the final winner, he will be indispensable. If both parties are temporarily defeated, they will not regret him.
Therefore, Zhang Shi's instructions to his subordinates were to attack Xiyuan Gate with all their strength and attract as many enemy soldiers as possible, but no matter what happened in the palace, they would never step beyond the thunder pool until the dust settled.
The right guard of the government army faithfully implemented Zhang Xi's order. After using a siege truck to break open the Xiyuan Gate, they started a lingering fierce battle with the Zhao King's army who came to block it. Even if they repelled all the enemy soldiers, they still opened the door.
They absolutely refused to move forward through the gap. They just stabilized the defense line and waited for the enemy's counterattack. However, because they fought so hard, King Zhao's army did not notice their little plan in this dark and rainy night, and continued to march towards the west.
Yuanmen, desperately stopped the attack of the right guard of the government army.
Under the hard work of the right guard of the government army, almost all of King Zhao's army was attracted to the south of Xiyuan. This is one of the reasons why the South China Sea is surrounded by enemy troops and His Highness Taisun has no way to escape... Correspondingly, Xiyuan
The Zhonghai area to the north of the garden is naturally very empty. On the Jinaoyu Hongqiao between the north of Zhonghai and Beihai, there is only one centurion guarding it...
Xiyuan is located on the west side of the Imperial Palace and Jingshan. It was built in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties. After this dynasty opened up the South China Sea, a bag-shaped water area running through the north and south of the imperial city was formed in the garden. They were named Beihai, Zhonghai, Nanhai, and Ether.
The two stone bridges on the liquid pool divide the boundaries. To the north of the Jinaoyu Hong Bridge is the North Sea and to the south is the Nanhai. Between the two bridges is the Zhonghai. Among them, Zhonghai and Nanhai are the most important for the defense of the imperial garden because they are spread across palaces and palaces.
Although Beihai is also within the scope of Xiyuan, it is far away from the activities of the emperor and concubines. Especially when Zhu Di is old, he will rarely set foot in it, so the defense will inevitably be much looser. If King Zhao can wait until tomorrow, he will be on the left and right outside the city.
When the escort enters Beijing and takes action, they will naturally deploy troops in Beihai to avoid any unforeseen events.
However, Yan Qing and others broke the news in advance through Huang Yan, forcing King Zhao to take action hastily tonight. The only troops that King Zhao could use and trust were the Changshan Central Guard and the Yulin Vanguard. In the case of insufficient troops,
, we can only take care of the Zhonghai and Nanhai areas separately in order to ensure that the actions of the emperor and the grandson are foolproof. As for the North Sea, we can't take care of so much...
In the eyes of King Zhao, Zhao Ying and others, this is not too risky, because the capital is already in their hands, and all the guards and horses are trapped in the camp. There are two guards and horses rushing into Xiyuan, which is enough to deal with any surprise.
Post status!
But obviously, they underestimated Wang Xian. Although they had dealt with Wang Xian for many years, neither King Zhao nor Zhao Ying had ever had a life-and-death fight with Wang Xian head-on. From those insignificant fights,
During the small quarrel, they could not appreciate the terrifying nature of Wang Xian at all. Instead, they would have the illusion that he was nothing more than that.
Wei Wuque knew that Wang Xianzhi was scary, but his cautious reminders were regarded as cowardly words by King Zhao and were ignored. Yes, everyone surnamed Wang has been reduced to the prisoner of Dongchang.
Prisoners, what else do you have to fear?
As everyone knows, Wang Xian took the initiative to go into prison, but he was retreating to advance after breaking the situation! As Yang Shiqi analyzed, after Wang Xian made the emperor unable to suffer a stroke, if he was still outside, he would inevitably become the target of public criticism. He took the initiative to be punished by Dongchang
Being imprisoned would give everyone the illusion that he was no longer a threat and could be eliminated at any time. At this time, everyone's attention was easily diverted by Wang Xian to the matters behind the emperor's death - the battle to seize the throne.
It became the most intense conflict in the Ming Dynasty!
When he thought he had the absolute initiative, King Zhao naturally did not want to take the risk of chaos in the world and kill a person who could be killed at any time. Once this thought occurred, his vigilance against Wang Xian would decrease indefinitely, and then
As the day of the showdown got closer and closer, Wang Xian even faded out of people's conversations, as if this person was no longer important. Everyone even forgot that it was this person who forced the arrogant Emperor Yongle to bow his head and admit defeat, and even suffered a stroke from anger...
…
Yan Qing! Wu Wei and others took advantage of the lack of attention, secretly bribed the eunuchs in Beihai, and secretly hid twenty or thirty clippers in Beihai Garden. They even planned this through a group of Jinyiwei officers who were loyal to Wang Xian.
Tonight's mutiny.
When Wang Xian completely controlled the Jin Yiwei and led his troops to the north gate of Xiyuan, the eunuch Wu Wei bribed had been waiting there, quietly opened the north gate, and let the Jin Yiwei enter Xiyuan. At this time, the area around the north gate unexpectedly
There was not a single soldier of King Zhao's army, and even the guards who originally guarded the north gate hurried to the south to defend the emperor, so that all the penetration methods prepared by Wu Wei were not used...
After the Jin Yiwei sneaked into Xiyuan, they quickly carried the clipper hidden in the garden down to Beihai Lake. Although there was a heavy rain cover, no one noticed the whole process, which was really unusual. This made Dai Hua shake his head and sigh, King Zhao
There are really not as many as the King of Han. If the King of Han were to stage a coup today, whoever wants to take advantage of the opportunity would have to pay a heavy price...
"It can't be said that the King of Han is leading the troops to fight, and the King of Zhao is making plans." Wang Xian stood in the pavilion by the lake, waiting for the speedboat to arrive. He was idle and spoke justice for King Zhao. "
If the king of Han were replaced, he would not be able to create such a good situation."
"The situation for King Zhao is indeed good. He has the capital under his control, and both his grandson and the emperor have become turtles in the urn." Dai Hua said with a smile, "It's a pity that he had calculated everything, but he actually missed it."
Wang Xian looked deeply at the lake where the silver snakes danced, and said leisurely: "My opponent has never been King Zhao."
"Indeed, Zhu Laosan is not qualified to be your opponent." Dai Hua said with deep approval.
"Xiao Dai, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are good at flattering me." Yan Qing appeared in the pavilion amidst the sound of the wheelchair. Xianyun, who was pushing the wheelchair for him, looked at Dai Hua funny and said: "If you don't grow up,
Beard, you are just like the eunuchs in the palace."
"Hehe..." Dai Hua smiled sheepishly: "We are just expressing our feelings, and we don't mean to exaggerate."
Seeing his embarrassment, everyone burst into laughter. After laughing, Wang Xian glanced at Yan Qing and said, "Why are you here, sir?"
Yan Qing's legs and feet were inconvenient, so naturally he should sit in the rear.
"Sir," Yan Qing looked at Wang Xian and said in a deep voice, "You should know what your subordinate is going to say."
"..." Wang Xian was silent for a while, nodded and said, "You also know that I won't agree."
"It's up to you whether you agree or not, but as a counselor, my subordinates have to make plans for you." Even though Yan Qing said this, his expression was obviously darkened, and he couldn't help but make a last effort and said: "My lord, I must stop being disturbed by him."
, if you miss your old feelings now, your family will be ruined in the future!"
Wang Xian was silent for a long time, with obvious struggle in his eyes, but in the end he shook his head firmly and said: "I know, but it won't be that bad, there will always be a way..."
"Sir!" Yan Qing was anxious, holding the armrests of his wheelchair with both hands, and said excitedly: "You have risked the world's scorn, and you are no different from those who bullied the emperor in the past. Don't you understand what their final outcome will be?
Now that we have embarked on this road, there is absolutely no possibility of escaping unscathed!" As he said this, he suddenly stood up and shouted hoarsely: "There is only one way to survive at the top of the Forbidden City! There is no other!"
‘Click’, a bolt of lightning struck the small pavilion by the lake, and everyone in the pavilion was so blinded that they could not open their eyes.
When the lightning passed, darkness returned to the surroundings, and everyone regained their sight, they saw Yan Qing leaning on the ground, dead, still staring at Wang Xian with wide eyes.
"Mr. Yan!" Wang Xian was shocked and hurriedly leaned over to help Yan Qing, only to see black blood coming out of his mouth and nose. Wang Xian suddenly raised his head, stared at Xianyun who pushed Yan Qing in, and roared: "
How is this going?!"
Xianyun's face was also full of shock. After being yelled at by Wang Xian, he suddenly woke up and said: "Before Mr. came in, he took a bottle of medicinal powder, which was called 'Qing Jing Powder'. I just thought it was an ordinary medicine to remove internal heat.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be..." Xianyun's voice suddenly became hoarse, "Poison..."
"Why did Sir take poison? Or is there someone trying to harm him?" Dai Hua said in shock.
Wang Xian's face was extremely gloomy. He touched Yan Qing's body and took out a letter from his arms. With the light of another lightning, he saw the words 'My Lord's Personal Letter' written neatly on the top of the cover.
The four meticulous regular characters are Yan Qing's own handwriting.
Wang Xian looked at the envelope, his expression changed for a long time, but he still had no intention of opening it. At this time, Wu Wei came in and saw the scene in the pavilion. His expression darkened, and he whispered to Wang Xian: "Sir, the ships are ready, soldiers
Boarding completed."
Wang Xian nodded, put Yan Qing's letter in his arms, stood up and left the pavilion, boarding the ship without looking back.
Looking at Wang Xian's back and then Yan Qing's body, Dai Hua and Xianyun fell into extreme confusion. They never expected that an operation that was under their control would lead to such changes.
Wu Wei looked at Yan Qing, sighed slightly, and said to the two of them: "Follow me quickly."
The two of them came to their senses and quickly followed Wang Xian on board the ship.
