No one expected that Prince Yi Zhong’s rebellion would come so openly and justly!
Originally, King Yi Zhong would choose to attack in the middle of the night, so that he could have the effect of a surprise attack, right?
But Prince Yizhong didn't follow common sense and launched an open and honest attack during lunch!
The five hundred cavalry charged into the formation with such great momentum that the entire camp suddenly became chaotic. All the accompanying ministers were frightened and hurriedly called to the guards around them to guard the entrance.
Today, I was also caught off guard. After hearing the news, I walked out of the palace with a livid face. When I saw the five hundred cavalry approaching like a tidal wave, my face turned extremely ugly for a moment.
There is a large army stationed on the outskirts of Tienwang Mountain to guard it.
Now, since five hundred cavalry can be allowed to break into the hinterland, it is obvious that the outer defenders are either rebelling, or are being held back and unable to arrive in time for support.
In other words, in a short period of time, we can only rely on the guards in the camp to fight.
"Come here, kill all these traitors and thieves!"
He felt angry, but no matter what, he shouted loudly: "Those who are timid will be killed without mercy!"
After saying that, he returned directly to the palace and took charge, leaving full control over the war outside to the palace guards. Although he was caught off guard, it was still as expected.
"Kill!"
Soon, five hundred cavalrymen poured into the densely packed camp like a surging tide. They cut down people and set fire to tents when they saw them. Soon, the whole camp was in flames and the sound of killing was everywhere.
This battle lasted from noon to evening, and ended when the outer garrison arrived.
The five hundred rebel cavalry that suddenly appeared were wiped out. The losses at the camp were even more severe. Hundreds of ministers and guards died in the chaos. Most of the palace guards died in the battle, and they were almost rushed into the palace by the rebel cavalry.
, I am also a little frightened now.
Naturally, there was no need to deal with the aftermath personally now. With an expressionless face and protected by a group of guards, he silently glanced at the devastated camp, his heart filled with anger and his eyes turned red.
The loss this time is really too great.
The nearly one hundred ministers who were killed in the chaos, most of them were his confidants. After this incident, the imperial party's vitality was severely damaged, and it is unknown how long it will take to fully recover.
The key is that the close ministers who were attacked and died in the chaos are all trustworthy subordinates today. It is extremely difficult to train such a group of people.
But the number of rebels was only 500 cavalry.
How could Prince Yi Zhong’s strength be so simple?
Moreover, the five hundred cavalrymen who were completely wiped out did not raise the banner of rebelling against Prince Yizhong. Without conclusive evidence, even if they knew what was going on, they would be helpless against Prince Yizhong.
Damn it!
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Although he still had a hidden hand, it was a pity that the number of rebel cavalry was too small, and their combat effectiveness was not enough for him to use all his trump cards.
But in this case, it is not easy to directly target Prince Yi Zhong now.
The key point is that the depletion of strength in the hands of Prince Yi Zhong is not as serious as imagined, which means that this time the plan of setting a bait in person failed completely, and in fact suffered heavy losses.
The eldest man and a group of ministers who had the courage to hunt returned to the camp when it was getting dark. They were speechless when they saw the messy camp in front of them.
Jin Jin was very angry at these guys who easily 'escaped' from the melee, especially the elder, who was extremely skilled and didn't want to protect Jin Jin by his side, so he happily went hunting.
But it's really hard to vent your anger on them now. No one expected that the camp would be hit at noon. At that time, the elder and others had already gone deep into Tienwang Mountain. Who knew if they could hear the shouting of killing in the camp?
Or do you pretend you didn’t hear it?
In short, the Grand Master and the ministers did nothing wrong, they just missed the experience of being attacked by the rebel cavalry. There is really no excuse to cause trouble for them now.
The current situation is already stressful enough, and if we add to it, it will not be a good thing either for the current situation or for others.
The elder ignored the rest and didn't think about how to explain it to Jin Jin. Anyway, he regarded this trip as a real hunting trip. He didn't encounter the rebel cavalry attack, and he didn't immediately follow Jin Jin to guard him. Can he still be blamed?
Can't he?
If you want to be the bait now, don't put all the blame on others.
The camp was smashed to pieces by a sudden attack of 500 cavalry and suffered heavy losses. It can only be said that today's preparations are not sufficient, and that is today's own problem.
When something like this happened, the hunting in Tienwang Mountain naturally could not continue. The entire camp was filled with a terrifying aura of decadence. Now I also know that my adventure this time is a bit too much, and I am afraid that it will cause the death of many ministers.
I feel that if it is not handled well, big trouble will result.
The next day, I hurriedly packed up and returned to Beijing with the still huge team.
From time to time, there were eunuchs running around on the road to convey the current orders. At the same time, the accompanying guards also kept their spirits up, fearing that Prince Yizhong would try something on the road.
In this incident, something went wrong with the defenders outside Tiewang Mountain. If we want to find a breakthrough and put the matter on the head of Prince Yizhong, we can only look to the generals who have problems with the defenders.
However, what I found is quite shocking now.
The defenders on the outskirts of Tiewang Mountain did not rebel. However, an hour before noon, the top generals of the three defenders were assassinated at the same time. One of them was killed and two were seriously injured. When the group was leaderless and in chaos, the five hundred rebel cavalry found an opportunity to sneak into the iron gate.
The hinterland of Wangshan.
It's that simple!
But now it is hard to believe that things really happened by such a coincidence!
What made him even more upset was that Prince Yi Zhong never showed up. This made him feel as depressed as if he had swallowed a fly. He didn't know what Prince Yi Zhong was thinking.
Such a good opportunity, even if you know you are ready, you should not give it up!
If Jin Jin cannot be killed this time, there will never be another chance in the future. Jin Jin's strength will only become stronger and stronger, and it won't take long for the Yi Zhong County Prince line to be completely cleansed from the court.
However, King Yi Zhong did not put all his efforts into it. Instead, he sent an elite cavalry force to test the situation.
I have to admit that the five hundred cavalry are quite elite, at least much better than the cavalry in the Beijing camp. There are also many foreign masters among them. If the guards around us were not strong enough and stronger, I am afraid that this time today's cavalry would not be the best.
The palace is about to be captured by five hundred cavalry.
Fortunately, such a situation did not occur, otherwise the emperor's face would be disgraced and a very bad impression would be formed in the minds of the accompanying ministers.
Now the anger in my heart is getting stronger and stronger, and I am thinking about how to deal with Prince Yizhong's men when I go back.
As long as Prince Yi Zhong is made a bare commander, his threat will cease to exist.
Although such a method is the most reluctant one to choose nowadays, there are not many things to consider now, and we must first completely eradicate the inner troubles.
Until, halfway through the mammoth journey, a messenger from the capital came galloping to tell a surprising and happy news: the imprisoned Prince Yizhong and his family suddenly disappeared!
He really disappeared. When the guards guarding the gate of the Prince's Mansion realized, except for some servants, there was no trace of the Prince's family in the Prince's Mansion.
"Okay, okay, Yi Zhong, you have exposed your flaws now!"
Now he was overjoyed and hurriedly mobilized an elite unit of the Beijing camp to enter the city. At the same time, he ordered the Sanfa Si Yamen to take action at the same time to thoroughly investigate the matter of Prince Yizhong's escape in violation of the law.
Prince Yizhong is now completely finished!
The news spread, causing a commotion among the accompanying ministers. All the ministers knew one thing in their hearts. They would not let such a great opportunity pass by. It would be difficult for King Yi Zhong to stand up this time.
The elder did not take it seriously, knowing in his heart that Prince Yi Zhong still did not choose to fight to the death and let his family suddenly disappear. It is estimated that Prince Yi Zhong and his family had already boarded the ship at this time.
It doesn't matter if this unstable factor is gone. If you want to cause trouble, let's go to the indigenous monkeys on the South China Sea Islands.
The elder is not a fool. His own strength has reached a very subtle level. He has long sensed that among the guards around him, nearly a hundred of them are Kung Fu masters with strong blood and strong aura.
It's unclear how powerful their alliance is, but there is absolutely no problem in protecting today's security.
As long as the current situation remains intact, with his orthodox status, unless King Yi Zhong can capture the capital and the Gyeonggi region at lightning speed, the outcome will definitely not be much better.
Sure enough, after returning to the capital, the whereabouts of Prince Yizhong and his family were traced with great fanfare, and a charge of 'defection' was charged. Even if Prince Yizhong wanted to stand up, it would be difficult.
The entire capital was under martial law. Officials from the Yizhong and Prince family who were still in the court were in bad luck. They were all imprisoned. At the same time, officials and eunuchs were sent out in waves to announce the decree in various provinces.
Obviously, there is a plan to catch them all, but the sudden appearance of the Supreme Emperor directly interrupted the current practice of expanding the scope of the attack. Even so, the atmosphere in the capital is quite grim.
Such a severe atmosphere, no matter how isolated the Rongguo Mansion is from outside, how could it not be felt in the capital?
When the old lady and Mrs. Wang found out what happened, their faces turned pale with horror. Especially the old lady was worried, wondering if the secret letter she wrote to Jia Zhen might have been leaked?
However, when I thought that this secret letter was written in the name and seal of the great master, I slowly relaxed my anxious heart. If something happened, it would be the great master's misfortune, and the Rongguo Mansion would still be able to maintain stability.
As for the heavy blow that the eldest man or the eldest family may suffer, the old lady has no interest in paying attention at this time.
Now she suddenly thought of a bad thing. There was a sister of Prince Yizhong in Ningguo Mansion. If she didn't handle it properly, there might be big trouble.
So, the old lady directly called her confidant, Lai Mo Mo, and gave her various instructions. Unexpectedly, the secret conversation was overheard by a maid at the door, who hurried to the second room while others were attending to the ceremony.
