Seeing that Zhao Kuo, Han Laoshan and other tribesmen followed their father, Feng Liao and the others rushed to Lanting Lane, but there was no sign of Han Daoxun, the third child. Han Daoming didn't know what happened in the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen, and was shocked.
asked.
"Zhou Bin, the director of the Internal Affairs Bureau, holds an edict from His Majesty and asks you to go see Wen Muqiao. We suspect that Your Majesty is under the control of Anning Palace and Wen Muqiao is not trustworthy. Your Excellency still insists on going to see Wen Muqiao alone with Zhou Bin!"
Feng Liao said.
"Why is the third child so pedantic? The guards of the palace gates have all been replaced by people from Anning Palace. Currently, the Privy Council is issuing a new order to replace the guards of the imperial city! The old fox on Shi Yandao has the most sensitive sense of smell and will make excuses in the afternoon.
After leaving the government hall and returning home, he ordered the gates of the mansion to be closed and no one to come in or out. Hu Huazhang, Shi Chonghai and others were slower to respond, but at this time they had already returned to their homes to gather their own soldiers to guard the doors..."
Although Han Daoming was immediately persuaded by Feng Liao and retreated to Lanting Lane with his family, as the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he also had his own source of information.
What's more, the six yamen are all within the imperial city. The defense of the imperial city gates and the guards of the palace gates near the Privy Council and the Government Hall have undergone abnormal changes. Prime Minister Shi Yanshou and the six ministers and other ministers will have a series of abnormal reactions.
Han Daoming arranged for someone to inquire, and he was able to confirm as quickly as possible.
At this time, more and more spies from the Zhifang Pavilion gathered to keep an eye on Lanting Lane. They were hiding in many alleys. Han Daoxun was worried that after dark, a large army would probably come to attack Lanting Lane.
By this time, Han Daoming could also confirm that the palace had fallen under the control of Anning Palace. Although they did not know His Majesty's true situation, there was something wrong with Zhou Bin being able to easily leave the palace with the imperial edict.
Han Daoming never thought that the third child would be so stupid and pedantic!
Feng Liao and others' brows twitched, but they held back their silence.
"Master Han is taking such risks. Do you think that Your Majesty has already made a decision in the palace to pass on the crown prince?" Liyang Marquis Yang En and Zheng Chang walked out of the anxious crowd and asked Feng Liao.
"Master Yang?" Feng Xiao remembered that he did not arrange for anyone to pick up Yang En, the Marquis of Liyang, and secretly felt that he might have been with Zheng Chang, the young minister of Dali Temple, before Zhao Wuji took him to Lanting Lane.
"My lord is guessing like this, but whether it is true or not, no one knows the actual situation in the palace at this time." Feng Liao said.
The palace was completely controlled by Anning Palace, and no news could come out. It was like a black box, making it difficult to guess the specific situation in the palace.
"Master Han followed Zhou Bin to Wenmuqiao's mansion, or to the imperial city?" Yang En asked.
"Went to Wen Mansion." Feng Liao said.
"Donkey Dan, bring the horse over, let's go see Wen Muqiao!" Yang En said.
"Master Yang..." Han Daoming shouted in shock. He wanted to dissuade Yang En from acting out of emotion.
"Da Chu belongs to our Yang family for the time being. I, Yang En, don't have the shame to accompany you to escape from the city." Yang En smiled suddenly. He turned around and saw the soldiers who had gone out with him today lying cowering and motionless in the back.
, scolded, "You donkey who is afraid of death, you bring the horse over here, and I will go to see Wen Muqiao alone."
When Feng Liao was about to persuade Yang En, he secretly asked Han Wenhuan to pull the front of his clothes.
He instantly understood that if there was really a problem with Wen Muqiao, and the master and Yang En fell into their trap at the same time, they would not go on a killing spree without any scruples if they wanted to legitimately let the prince succeed to the throne.
Maybe they retreat to Taowuji first and wait for orders, leaving the Lord and Yang En to deal with Anning Palace, Wen Muqiao, Niu Gengru and others. Maybe they can finally come up with a plan that everyone can compromise and accept.
Isn't it because of this slim hope that your Excellency decided to go to see Wen Muqiao?
Now, if Yang En, Marquis of Liyang, is allowed to go over, it will increase his chances of winning, right?

"No, Xu Anlan led a team of people and rushed to Donghua Gate!"
Yang En had just left Lanting Lane on horseback alone, when Han Jun and Han Duan hurried to the front yard and said in a panic.
At this time, the sky has darkened, and the nine gates of Jinling City have been closed. However, they hold the customs defense order of Jingzhao Mansion. As long as the general guarding the city gate is willing to pretend to be confused, or is willing to sell one of the three princes.
Favor, if you see the order from Jingzhao Mansion, you can open the city gate and let people pass.
As a direct descendant of the Xu family, Xu Anlan joined the army as a soldier in the Prince's East Palace, a military officer in the Marriage Office, and as the commander of the Prince's personal guards. He personally led a group of people to Donghua Gate, and he must take over the guard of Donghua Gate.
Yu must cut off the nearest communication channel between Lanting Lane and Taowu Ji as soon as possible.
The Donghuamen Shuiguan, which controls the Shitang River's waterway out of the city, is also part of the Donghuamen garrison's guard system.
At this time, there were more than 900 people from various families and families of generals and generals who had gathered in Lanting Alley, mainly women and children. The number of government guards who could barely fight was only 1,200.
Under such circumstances, if a large group of people walks through the streets and alleys to leave the city, it is not difficult to imagine that the speed will be slow and chaotic. The rebels will randomly send a group of people to watch over, making it difficult for them to move, and easily defeat them.
The army was defeated.
It is the most realistic option to use the two fast war sailing ships and other cargo ships parked at Shitang River Pier to load the family members out of the city.
Zhenyuan Marquis Yang Jian also sent someone to take his children to the Louchuan Army Navy camp in the afternoon. It may be that Zhenyuan Marquis Yang Jian was reminded, or it may be that Yang Jian noticed something unusual. Regardless of whether Zhenyuan Marquis Yang Jian has the courage or not.
I will fight for Emperor Tianyou, but at this time I can be sure that Zhenyuan Hou Yang Jian did not collude with Anning Palace at this time.
This means that the rebels' direct control of the water camp's combat power in the city at this time is extremely limited.
There will be no disturbance if more than 900 women and children hide in the cabin. With more than 1,200 troops boarding the ship, and then gathering more than 200 boatmen and sailors from the warehouse, it is the safest and most convenient way to leave the city through the waterway to Taowu Ji.
choose.
Now that the Donghuamen Shuiguan is under the control of the rebels, in addition to the Donghuamen Shuiguan, there are two other water gates in Jinling City that allow people to leave the city via waterways.
Han Jun and Han Duan didn't care about why their third uncle Han Daoxun didn't come back with the old man and the others, and they didn't care to ask Liyang Marquis where he was riding alone. They only thought about the old man and his father. Zheng Chang quickly decided that they would take a boat out of the city now.
If the delay continues, when the rebels take control of the other two water passes, they will become the turtle in the urn!
"How about we go out of the city through Beishengmen?" Zheng Chang had just straightened out many things at this time. The panic in his heart had not completely calmed down yet, and he was somewhat at a loss. However, he and he were the only ones who could make decisions in Lanting Lane.
Han Daoming got married to Han Wenhuan, the old man of the Han family.
"The guard of Beishengmen Water Pass is Gu Huanyu, the Marquis of Yu, the capital of the Forbidden Army. His father, Gu Ting, has worked with me for many years. Gu Huanyu should be able to sell his father a favor," Han Wenhuan said.
"To take Beishengmen, you have to pass through Taohua Bridge, which is controlled by the Zuowu Guards! Wen Mu Bridge, and if Wen Bo and his son have been instigated by An Ning Palace to rebel, they are probably eager to show their loyalty to their new masters and brazenly ambush us near Taohua Bridge!"
Feng Liao said, "If the generals of the Forbidden Army cannot believe it, the young master suggests that we directly break through the Donghua Gate Water Pass and leave the city!"
"Breaking open the Donghua Gate Shuiguan and leaving the city? Do you think the warships built by Xuzhou are stronger than the Shuiguan iron gates embedded deep in the stone city?" Han Jun asked in disbelief.
"This is the waterway map of Jinling. When walking through Beishengmen, there are four or five narrow waterways that are extremely vulnerable to ambushes. Boats traveling through the city cannot go very fast. It would take two hours at the fastest to get from Lanting Alley to Beishengmen.
Shengmen Shuiguan, such a long time is enough for Anning Palace to leisurely write the edict to replace the guard and replace Gu Huanyu!" Feng Liao asked a young man from the Xi family to take out the Jinling waterway map and spread it to Han Daoming and Zheng
Enjoy watching the old man Han Wenhuan.
Although the main branches of the Han family, as well as the elite scouts of Prince Tan's palace guard and Jinyun Tower were all under the command of Jiang Huo, Feng Liao commanded them, but there were only more than 300 elites in this group.
In addition, at such a critical moment, the military armies of various families will only obey the orders of Mr. Han, Zheng Chang and Han Daoming, who have the highest official rank and the most prestigious reputation.
Which waterway to take out of the city, Feng Liao first has to convince Mr. Han, Han Daoming and Zheng Chang.
"But it's more realistic than trying to break open the Donghuamen Water Gate, right?" Han Jun said.
"The battleship Qianyang that Young Master left in Jinling on standby, in addition to the iron plow horns weighing several thousand kilograms mounted on the bow, the bow of the entire battleship was reinforced from the inside with twenty to thirty thousand kilograms of fine steel components.
——Although the iron gate of Donghuamen Shuiguan is as thick as an arm, it is made of inferior iron and has not been replaced after being immersed in water for several years. It is already rusty. Although I have not been able to try it before, I should be able to break it open with some confidence!
"Zhao Wuji said in a loud voice.
Zhao Wuji was very frustrated at this time.
Han Qian had made various plans for this moment, but he was so hesitant that Zhao Kuo stopped him and did not detain the head of the family immediately.
"You guys go and see if the warship can withstand the violent impact!" Han Wenhuan was too old. After today's torment, his body was already feeling unwell. Han Daoming and Zheng Chang discussed for a long time and asked Han Jun and Han Duan to follow Zhao Wuji to see the ship first.
The condition of the galleons.
If Han Qian had arranged in advance to keep the warship on standby in Lanting Lane, it was as powerful as Zhao Wuji said, and it would be worth the risk of breaking through the Donghua Gate water barrier.
After all, the rebels would never have imagined that they would directly drive their boats to hit the iron gate of Donghuamen Shuiguan.
ps: I have to attend an event today and tomorrow, so I’m sorry for the lack of updates...
