The words were divided into two parts, but it was said that Yang Pu left the capital and went south to Shandong at starry night. In just five days, he arrived in Jinan, but he failed.
"Xueshi Yang, my father-in-law is indeed not in Jinan. If you have anything to do, please tell me." It was still Chu Yan who received him, and he still said the same thing. However, Chu Yan could swear that this time he was really not being perfunctory.
"What?" Yang Pu became anxious upon hearing this, blowing his beard and staring: "Where has he gone? Call him back quickly!"
"This..." Chu Yan hesitated and refused to answer. After being pressed by Yang Pu, he told the truth: "The bachelor is not an outsider. Let me tell you, my father-in-law went to Huguang..."
"What?" Yang Pu firmly refused to believe it: "Why is he, the governor of Shandong, going to Huguang?"
"It's a private matter..." Chu Yan said with some embarrassment: "Isn't there Wudang Mountain in Huguang? My father-in-law went to worship Master Sun..."
"Why do you worship Master Sun?" Yang Pu became more and more confused as he listened: "Didn't you hear that he believed in Taoism?"
"Master, he is not a religious man, but he is planning to marry Sun Zhenren's granddaughter. Can you not go and meet the old man?" Chu Yan finally told the whole truth.
"What's this all about?" Yang Pu was so angry that he cursed in front of Chu Yan: "Why do you think this Wang Zhongde is really doing this nonsense? As a high-ranking official in the border area, he secretly went to other provinces.
Go there, the capital is already imminent, and he still has time to propose marriage!"
Chu Yan allowed Yang Pu to complain, and did not wipe the spittle on his face. He kept smiling and said: "Yes, yes, you are right, but we are servants, and I am a master. I have no control over you!"
"
"Nonsense! What nonsense!" Yang Pu had a fit, but he had no choice but to send people to report back to the emperor quickly, and at the same time, he sent people to rush to Huguang to find Wang Xian. However, he lived in Jinan and went to the city every day.
Looking longingly at Wang Xian’s figure...
The news that Wang Xian had gone to Huguang quickly reached Beijing, causing the British public to be shocked when they heard about it. They frowned and said, "It can't be a fraud, right?!"
Zhu Zhanji shook his head and whispered: "Due to historical reasons, I have someone beside Wang Xian, and the news that came back is indeed like this." After a pause, he said: "Ten days ago, Wang Xian took Lingxiao south to Huguang.
Go and propose marriage to Master Sun."
"Would he really go to Sun Biyun to propose marriage at this juncture?" Zhang Fu still felt incredulous.
Hu Hao, who had always been cold and taciturn, suddenly said: "His surname is Wang and my niece have been unclear about it for so many years. It's time to give my uncle an explanation."
"Hehe, this guy is indeed a love interest!" Zhang Min laughed excitedly, and when he saw everyone's gloomy expressions, he quickly shut up in annoyance. All along, Mr. Zhang's secret to winning every bet is to be tight.
Follow Wang Xian and place your bets. As long as you follow Wang Xian, no matter how bad the situation is, you will be able to make a comeback in the end and win big.
This time, under the influence of the situation, he became Wang Xian's opponent, which made Mr. Zhang feel very bad. He was really worried that this time he would spit out all his previous wins and lose his pants... But in this case
He had the lowest status in the room and had no right to object.
"It would be best to send someone to Huguang to see with your own eyes whether he is in Wudang Mountain or not!" Zhang Fu said still uneasy.
"It's too late, the showdown will be in five days." Zhu Zhanji said.
"I would rather postpone the meeting until the next morning to ensure that nothing goes wrong." Zhang Fu said decisively: "If Wang Xianming builds the plank road and secretly visits Chen Cang, we will be in trouble."
"If you wait until the next time, it will be twenty days. Wang Xian will definitely get the news and return to Beijing." Zhang Xi couldn't help but muttered: "Then the trouble will be huge."
Zhang Fu glared at Zhang Min fiercely, but could not refute his words.
"I have a way." Hu Hao interrupted suddenly, letting Zhang Fu and others hear the fairy voice: "In order to facilitate communication with the master, I have raised carrier pigeons at home. If I release them now, I should be able to carry the message within five days.
return."
"Great!" Zhu Zhanji said with a cheerful expression: "Then please leave it to Master Hu, let's fly the pigeons quickly!"
"Yes." Hu Hao responded and left quickly.
"Sir, let's prepare as planned!" Zhu Zhanji looked at Zhang Fu, fearing that he would give up.
"As ordered." Zhang Fu didn't say anything more...
Hu's pigeons were released, and several people in the capital began to wait like years, one day, two days, three days... At the evening of the fifth day, when Zhu Zhanji and others were a little desperate, Hu Hao came in from outside.
There was actually a hint of excitement on Gujing's face, which had always been calm.
"Your Highness, the carrier pigeon is back!" Hu Hao sent a small bamboo tube as thick as a writing brush and one inch short to Zhu Zhanji's hand.
Zhu Zhanji snatched the small bamboo tube, poured out the paper roll inside, spread it out and took a look. He was overjoyed and shouted: "Wang Xian has indeed arrived at Wudang Mountain!" As he said this, he handed the letter paper to Zhang Fu.
He laughed and said, "Now, sir, you should be relieved!"
Zhang Fu calmly took the letter and looked at it carefully. He saw a few words written in small regular script on it: "Wang Xian and his junior sister arrived at the mountain gate today. The master is not allowed to go up the mountain. I don't know what will happen next." There is the signature and time, and
A small Tai Chi seal.
"Haha, it's really..." Zhang Min stood aside, read the contents of the letter, and smiled bitterly, not knowing how to evaluate it.
"It seems that God has blessed you, Your Highness." Zhang Fu finally ran out of words and said with obvious relief: "Now, our chance of winning is over 80%!"
"What about the remaining 20%?" Zhang Xian asked smoothly.
"The remaining 20% is God's will." Zhang Fu looked at his younger brother with some displeasure. This time, Zhang Fu was below the standard from beginning to end, which disappointed Zhang Fu, who had always been strict.
"You can start with 60-70% success, and 80% hope is very good." Zhu Zhanji smiled and smoothed things over for Zhang Shi, confirming that Wang Xian was really not in the capital, and the big stone weighing on his heart finally disappeared.
"Your Highness, let's skip tomorrow's plan." Zhang Fu has completely calmed down. He will not let down his guard until Zhu Zhanji ascends to the throne.
"It should be so." Zhu Zhanji nodded, and Zhang Shi invited everyone to the next door.
Next door is a secret room without windows. There are more than a dozen bright glazed lamps burning in it, illuminating the room as brightly as white. On the long table in the middle is a scaled-down three-dimensional map of the capital.
On the map, the capital city has three levels. The innermost layer is the palace city and the Forbidden City. The outer layer is the imperial city, which includes the palace city, Xiyuan, the six administrative offices, and the palaces of the princes. The outer layer is the outer city, which contains the officials, wealthy businessmen, and civilians of the capital.
Common people live on this floor, which is also where the military is stationed.
The military camps in the capital are marked with three colors. The positions of the three major camps and the Imperial Guards are marked with yellow, which represents the power loyal to the emperor. Those red military camps represent the power that the nobles have controlled. As for the sporadic green ones,
, it means not yet in control and cannot be trusted.
From a bird's eye view, red accounts for the vast majority, surrounding the four pitiful yellow spots in the imperial city like a prairie fire. As for green, its quantity is not large and its location is not important, so it can be ignored.
Zhang Fu pointed on the map with a bamboo whip and said in a deep voice: "In the past half month, the progress has exceeded expectations. All the old subordinates of the nobles have made it clear that they support His Highness the Grand Sun and have written letters of allegiance.
It seems that the emperor's attitude of emphasizing civility over military affairs is not only unpopular among the nobles, but also very disgusting to the middle and lower-level officers and soldiers." After that, he looked at Zhu Zhanji and said: "The morale of the military is with His Highness, this is our best chance of winning.
"
Zhu Zhanji smiled reservedly, and Zhang Mian muttered at the side: "There is only an 80% chance of winning..." Naturally, Zhang Fu gave him a fierce glare.
"The difficulty is still great!" Zhang Fu pointed to the four yellow military camps in the inner city and said: "We don't have any troops in the imperial city. We will have to send troops in from the outer city, and there will probably be a battle with the four guard camps.
"
"It's best that they know each other, otherwise we can only eliminate them!" Zhu Zhanji stared at the four military camps, completely forgetting that half a month ago, he had said nonsense like "I hope there will be no bloodshed." "Fortunately, the early morning meeting
At that time, all four gates of the imperial city were opened."
"We have captured the guards of Bei'anmen and Dong'anmen," Zhang Fu said calmly: "To be sure, we have even temporarily detained their family members."
"That's great!" Zhu Zhanji said with great joy: "This can ensure that our army will enter the imperial city and kill the four guards with overwhelming force!"
"We are not asking for total annihilation," Zhang Fu said in a deep voice, somewhat unwilling to give Zhu Zhanji face: "Our target is the Meridian Gate! After the army entered the imperial city, they attacked the warrior camp stationed at the Meridian Gate with all their strength! Although those Tartar officials were brave,
But it’s easy to bribe.” He glanced at Zhang Shi.
Zhang Xi chuckled and said, "I've been treating those arrogant Tatars to drinks of flower wine these days. These grandsons are mothers if they have breasts. Many of them have already accepted our money. We will cooperate with each other when the time comes."
"That's great!" At this time, Zhu Zhanji didn't care about being offended, and smiled happily at Hu Hao: "With the clever plan of the British God, I will surely capture him tomorrow!"
"Not bad." Hu Hao forced out an unnatural smile.
"The most dangerous thing tomorrow is to launch an attack until the army takes control of the situation." Zhang Fu pointed at the Forbidden City expressionlessly and said: "In order to reduce the danger, we should not act rashly after going to court, and wait until the army takes control of the situation.
"After a pause, he said: "There will be a trumpet sound at that time. When you hear the trumpet sound, it means that our army has succeeded and we can take action."
"My father-in-law has arranged everything very well." Zhu Zhanji nodded with satisfaction.
"Finally, there is the palace. Although it is unlikely, we must be careful. After revealing the imperial edict, the emperor...Zhu Gaochi will jump over the wall and let the guards capture His Highness." Zhang Fu continued.
"Don't worry here. The guards in the palace are all old people from the East Palace. Many of them are Gu's best friends. The rest of them are also on good terms with me." Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "As long as we show our will and occupy the righteousness,
Even if they don’t switch sides and help each other, they won’t help the tyrants again.”
