Chapter 216 Blockade (Are you afraid of Liuwa, the leader?
Regarding how to capture Zhao Zhiran, everyone in the Shangsan Palace had a discussion and focused on three places. The first one was of course Xuantan Palace, the second one was Baoyue Villa, and the third one was Yuanfu Palace.
Later, someone added that it was the Daolu Division on Jilong Mountain. The reason was that Zhao Zhiran also held the post of deputy seal of the Daolu Division.
Duan Chaoyong proposed to divide his troops into four groups and attack at the same time, but it would be difficult to do so. The Battle of Fuzhoushan has shown that although it is not known how Zhao Zhiran managed to kill more than 40 people, including two alchemists and three archmages.
The monks gathered together to annihilate them, but this result alone fully demonstrated the strength of Zhao Zhiran and the party behind him.
Judging from the information currently known, Zhao Zhiran has Luo Zhiqing by his side, but the two great mages put together still cannot annihilate more than 40 monks. Everyone's guess is that Chen Tianshi took action. This guess
was unanimously approved.
Now that Chen Tianshi has returned to the mountain and will not interfere with the arrest of people in the Shangsan Palace, the two great mages have to deal with. In this case, if all four groups move together, eight refiners will be needed to ensure that they can be captured in one fell swoop.
The three palace envoys are all at the level of great alchemists and can lead one group alone. The remaining group is led by Gong Kepei and Hu Dashun who are good at fighting. Finally, King De is left to take charge of the Ancestral Temple.
King De was a little worried. As a monk in the refinement realm, he might not be safe if he wanted to protect the most important fundamental place. Zhu Xianjian comforted him and said that he would leave most of his knowledge to him.
The monk from the Third Palace, King De, nodded in agreement.
After thinking about it, Lan Daoxing thought that arresting people like this might not be a foolproof strategy. After last night's battle in Zhoushan, Zhao Zhiran was probably not in the above four places. If he was hiding in an unknown place, he would escape from the capital if he alerted the enemy.
How could we arrest people at that time?
"Then how do you want to catch me?"
"For the current plan, I'm afraid the city must be sealed off first!"
"Is it useful to seal the city? As long as the monks at the Archmage level want to go out of the city, can these ordinary soldiers stop them?"
"But at least we know where he left the city and where he is going. Put one of our people at each city gate. If we see him escaping, we can immediately report him with a talisman. It is also a way for everyone to chase him. In addition, we can also shock the city.
Various monks, I am very worried that they will be incited to cause trouble."
Zhu Xianjian was also very decisive and immediately said: "Invite Zhang Cong from the Ministry of War."
The commander of the Jinyi Guards, Chen Yin, drove directly to Zhang Mansion in Taiping Bridge. Zhang Cong was still at his desk writing a letter when he was grabbed by Chen Yin. Without changing his clothes, he rushed to the Ancestral Temple with him. When he arrived at the Ancestral Temple, he threw him in front of Zhu Xianjian.
At the foot: "Teacher, Zhang Cong has arrived!"
Zhu Xianjian scolded: "I asked you to invite Zhang Shangshu, why are you so rude? Go and get ten military sticks!"
Chen Yin strode to the side, collected a bunch of military sticks from the Jinyiwei next to him, and slapped himself on the head ten times. Each time he hit, a stick as thick as a baby's arm was scrapped.
After the beating, Chen Yin came back and clasped his fists: "Zhang Shangshu, Lao Chen apologizes to you. The matter is urgent. I hope you will forgive me."
What else could Zhang Cong do? He stood up with a wry smile and said in return: "No crime, no crime." He then looked at Zhu Xianjian. He had already asked his family to come and inquire about it. He knew that Zhu Xianjian led his troops to occupy the Ancestral Temple, but he didn't dare to do so at this moment.
Talking nonsense, he pretended not to know and asked: "Is there anything urgent, King Qi?"
Zhu Xianjian smiled: "Zhao Zhiran, the abbot of Xuantan Palace, had a quarrel with Zhu Longxi, a monk from Chaotian Palace. However, Zhao Zhiran used his cultivation to fight. He not only kidnapped Zhu Longxi, but also took away all the more than forty monks from the Shangsan Palace who came to persuade him.
Detain, commit such a major crime, and punish everyone. I went to the Third Palace to protect the important areas of the capital, so I had to arrest people. In order to prevent them from escaping across the city, I asked the Ministry of War to issue an order to seal the city today. I want a big arrest.
Capital!"
Zhang Cong was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Um...more than forty immortal masters from the Shangsan Palace came to persuade him, but they were all detained...detained by him?"
"Exactly."
"this......"
"This man is extremely stubborn and extremely dangerous. If he is not caught and brought to justice, the people of our capital will not be able to live in peace for a day. Please ask Zhang Shangshu to get the military talisman."
"King Qi... The military talisman seal letter is not taken just by the subordinates. There is no cabinet vote, and the Emperor Zhu Biao dares to take it out... It's not like King Qi doesn't know..."
"The case is urgent, but what should we do? Please give Zhang Shangshu a clear explanation."
"The King of Qi only needs to give the official a vote of approval from an elder in the cabinet. Of course, the Emperor Zhu's approval is required... The official will act in accordance with the order."
"The elder's vote plan? What should we do? There is no one in the cabinet."
"This... I can't help you..."
"Which one do you want?"
"Whatever, as long as one of the four pavilion elders..."
"Do you want Yang Yiqing's?"
"Okay."
Zhu Xianjian asked Chen Yin: "Where is Yang Yiqing?"
Chen Yin said: "There is no place to put it, so it is temporarily stored in the veranda."
Mr. Zhu nodded: "Bring it."
Zhang Cong was confused and didn't understand what it meant. King Qi wanted to capture Zhao Zhiran, and he himself was happy to see it succeed. As long as the decree was in compliance and the procedures were complete, he could immediately issue documents and issue military symbols and arrows. But
To be honest, this matter was a bit big, and Zhang Cong didn't want to get involved too deeply. He guessed that it was a "family matter" of the emperor, or that King Yu and King Jing were competing for the throne.
Not long after, Chen Yin came over with a corpse and threw it at his feet. When Zhang Cong saw it, his mouth went dry, his feet went soft, and he sat down on the ground - Dongge University Scholar Yang Yiqing, just like that...
....Dead?
Zhu Xianjian wrote a note on the spot, cut off half of Yang Yiqing's finger, dipped it in blood and wrote a draft opinion, and handed it to Zhang Cong to read: "Zhang Shangshu, do you think it looks like this?"
Zhang Cong's lips trembled and he was unable to answer. Zhu Xianjian said: "Zhang Shangshu didn't speak, so he acquiesced? But what should we do about Zhu Biao? Chen Yin..."
"The disciple is here."
"How many times have I said, public is public, private is private, don't call it that."
"Um... I'm here."
Zhu Xian pointed his hand to the north: "Please ask Emperor Zhu to approve."
Chen Yin took the note and entered the palace next door to the north. After a while, he came back with a box and said to Zhu Xianjian: "Your Highness, the emperor is not feeling well. He said that if something happens, I would like to ask Your Highness to handle it. Please send the jade seal."
All the ink pens were brought. The emperor also said that if the procedures were not complicated, he would have drafted a decree and let His Highness be the regent..."
When Mr. Zhu saw Bei Xiang looked up, he snorted coldly, took the Zhu pen, approved the ticket, and then handed it to Zhang Cong: "Zhang Shangshu, can you do it now?"
Zhang Cong was still trembling all over and couldn't speak a word.
Zhu Xianjian was in a hurry and asked Chen Yin to carry Zhang Cong to the Ministry of War to seal the military talisman. He quickly brought the whole set of things back, along with the two doctors who were still working conscientiously on duty at the Ministry of War today.
I chose one of the verandas and waited for the king of Qi's order.
Logically speaking, if we do this, the Ministry of War still cannot command the garrison in the capital. However, the King of Qi does not expect to command all the garrison. He only wants to command the battalion heads that he can command. These battalion heads include those on the right side of the infantry of the Fifth Army Battalion.
Three battalion heads, four battalion heads of the right sentry, two battalion heads of the left guard of the Shenji camp, one battalion head of the right guard, all five battalion heads of the 3,000 battalion Zhongsi, plus the imperial city knife and fork fence
Hands, royal guards, etc., totaling tens of thousands of people.
With these ten thousand people at hand, it is enough to seal off the thirteen gates of the capital to prevent people with ulterior motives from taking the opportunity to cause trouble.
