Feng Shun's forehead was covered with cold sweat and he couldn't speak for a moment. The Ministry of War sent news to the palace at this time. Naturally, he wanted to ask the reason. The deputy general from Yanzhou told him that the prefect of Fengyang had been killed and the people of Fengyang were all.
After escaping from the city, the prefect of Yanzhou sent someone to deliver a letter to Beijing.
He was greatly surprised when he heard it, and he did not dare to neglect and came to wake the emperor immediately.
Hong Chuanting's words revealed so much that Feng Shun didn't dare to think about it...
Feng Shun hesitated slightly, but the emperor couldn't wait any longer. He didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he stood up and walked outside.
"Your Majesty." Feng Shun immediately took the cloak and chased after him.
The emperor walked very fast, leaving Feng Shun behind. The young emperor was like a stabbed beast, exuding a violent aura, and no one dared to step forward.
The emperor entered the main hall, and the chamberlain immediately brought up Vice General Yanzhou from the room on duty.
"Your Majesty." Lieutenant General Yanzhou knelt on the ground.
"Say." The emperor asked with red eyes.
The deputy general immediately said: "Fengyang rebelled..."
"Where is the prefect of Fengyang?" The emperor asked immediately before the deputy general finished speaking, "Where has he gone?"
He had some impressions of Fengyang Magistrate, and a few days ago he went to Beijing to report to him about the matters of offering sacrifices to the imperial mausoleum.
"The prefect of Fengyang was... killed by rebels."
Although the emperor was prepared, he still took a breath and opened his eyes wide. He was dead? What kind of rebel was so bold as to kill a prefect of the imperial court.
After a pause, the emperor continued: "Have you captured the rebels?"
The deputy general swallowed: "No... no... the guard station... the soldiers and horses of the guard station started fighting."
What does it mean that the soldiers and horses of the guard station started fighting? The emperor frowned and looked at the deputy general with dignity and coldness.
The deputy general said: "There are also rebels in the guard station. All the soldiers and horses of the government office...are all...they have rebelled."
Only then did the emperor know why he said Fengyang was rebelling.
It's not just a few people who are causing trouble, it's the whole Fengyang Mansion that is in chaos.
Even though the prefect of Fengyang was killed, there were still so many officials in Fengyang, but none of them sent news to the court. Instead, the deputy general of Yanzhou came to Beijing. What does this mean?
Either all Fengyang officials were killed, or some of them betrayed the court and deliberately concealed the truth.
There is still such a long distance from Fengyang to Yanzhou. Could it be that other prefectures and counties are under control, so only people from Yanzhou can come.
The emperor's voice was low: "Where are the 20,000 soldiers and horses guarding the imperial mausoleum? Didn't they quell the rebellion?" If something like this happened, even if he didn't give the order, those soldiers and horses should suppress the rebels first and not let the rebels capture them.
city.
There are tens of thousands of troops stationed in Fengyang, how could there be chaos?
That is the ancestral home of the Qi family and the place where the imperial mausoleum of the Great Zhou Dynasty is located. It has always been safe and sound. Could anything go wrong in his hands?
The deputy general said: "When I came to Beijing to deliver the letter, the prefect had already ordered people to find the soldiers and horses guarding the mausoleum... I don't know what the situation was. Maybe, maybe the rebellion has been suppressed by now."
With 20,000 soldiers and horses, even if a government rebels, it should be suppressed quickly, but now the Yanzhou Lieutenant General is so panicked.
The emperor gritted his teeth. Could it be that the troops guarding the mausoleum also rebelled? Thinking of this, he felt a rush of heat rushing to his head.
"Let Hong Chuanting come in," the emperor said, "the commander of the Beijing Guards will enter the palace immediately."
The chamberlain went down to deliver the order, and Feng Shun took the opportunity to step forward to help the emperor dress. Although the emperor tried his best to restrain his arms, he couldn't help but tremble.
King Cheng went to Hanzhong Mansion. He had just ordered the officials in the northwest to capture King Cheng. If anyone dared to take King Cheng in, he would be punished as a treason. The prefect of Hanzhong found the traces of King Cheng within three days and brought him up. He also ordered that only Duogan Thinking about it, if there is any trouble in Uzang, he will immediately launch an army to conquer.
But now there is no movement in the northwest, but something big has happened in Fengyang.
The lights flickered, and the emperor's face seemed to be cast in a shadow. What went wrong?
The emperor thought of the letter again.
"emperor."
Hong Chuanting and others have been taken to the main hall.
The emperor looked at Hong Chuanting: "How many troops and horses from the capital can be mobilized to Yanzhou Guard Station?"
Without waiting for Hong Chuanting to speak, the emperor spoke again: "Deploy five thousand troops from the capital, integrate 20,000 elite troops from the guard station, and immediately go to Yanzhou to Pingfengyang."
The emperor paused slightly when he said this: "Who do you recommend to go to quell the chaos?"
Because King Cheng rebelled, the emperor had just selected two generals from the five military camps, and four deputy generals went to Hanzhong, and now he asked them to recommend them.
Hong Chuanting hesitated and did not speak. Not everyone could go to suppress the rebellion. The emperor might not trust the nobles in the capital. Shen Congrong, Xue Chen, and Song Chengxuan from the southeast were all in the capital, and the emperor would not use them.
After all, it's just the five military camps that the emperor holds in his hands.
"It is better to choose good generals from the five military camps."
Sure enough, the emperor's voice came.
"Without further delay," the emperor ordered the commander of the Beijing Guards, "recommend candidates immediately. If there is a qualified person, he will receive the title of deputy general and go to war. I will reward him when he returns from victory."
The emperor's eyes seemed to be on fire, and he wished he could kill all the rebellious officials and traitors immediately before his eyes.
Fengyang rebelled.
If he hadn't wanted to sit in the capital, he would have immediately marched in person with a sword to show those people what would happen to those who rebelled.
"I must put an end to the chaos within half a month."
The commander of the Beijing Guards couldn't help but shuddered. They still didn't know what was going on in Fengyang. If something happened to all the five guard posts there, let alone quell the chaos within half a month, it might even spread to Yanzhou.
You must know that the Zhongdu Remaining Department has eight guards and one station under its jurisdiction. There are already a lot of troops stationed there. Otherwise, there will be no chaos. If there is a real chaos, it may cause a catastrophe.
But now the commanders of the Beijing Guard did not dare to disobey the emperor, as they might get involved with the rebels. They knew very well how many people were implicated in the rebellion of King Wei back then.
The commander of Jingwei bowed down to make arrangements.
Hong Chuanting said: "Your Majesty, if something happened to Fengyang, could it be that King Cheng is also the king... I always feel that there is something fishy here. If King Cheng is in the northwest, why hasn't the northwest taken action yet, but Fengyang became chaotic first? King Cheng really has such thoughts , we should wait until we spare no effort to deal with the northwest, and then take the enemy by surprise and lead troops northward from Fengyang."
In this case, the court will be completely passive.
There may be a problem with the Cheng Wang case, and the court may have someone plot against it.
The emperor saw the memorial written by Cheng Ruhai, the Minister of Punishment, on the table, in which he asked the emperor to arrest Cheng Wang and his party.
"The process has entered the palace like a sea." The emperor said coldly. He wanted to know if there was anything fishy about the case of becoming a king. If he couldn't figure out who this matter originated from, he would still fall into passivity.
…
Cheng Ruhai had a bad premonition in his heart when he saw the chamberlain who came to deliver the message.
I heard about Fengyang along the way and felt even more uneasy.
how so.
Cheng Ruhai followed the chamberlain into the main hall.
The emperor walked on the dragon throne.
Cheng Ruhai saluted and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, how could Fengyang..."
