Chen Cheng asked: "The people in Zhuolongyuan just shouted that the general is dead. Weren't you the one who killed him?"
Jian Shuo said: "It's true that I led people to set up an ambush there, but the general has never entered the White Tiger Gate. How can I kill him?"
"Then why are so many people shouting that the general is dead?"
"I don't know either," Jian Shuo said with regret on his face: "I just saw a group of cavalry coming from the street to fight, but then I saw clearly on the city wall that He Jin got out of the carriage, hit the horse and ran away.
.”
After he finished speaking, he also said "it's a pity" three times in a row. It seemed that he really wanted He Jin to die.
Chen Cheng thought to himself: "Could it be Zhang Rang's back-up plan?"
He looked at Yan Zhong, who looked helpless and whispered: "We need to strengthen the guards here immediately. If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid someone will attack the palace soon."
Chen Cheng thought for a moment and said to Jian Shuo: "Even if He Jin is not dead, you...forget it, you go and explain the matter clearly to the two big Diao Dangs, hey, let's talk this time
Maybe we’ll finish playing together.”
Jian Shuo glanced at him and walked away with a heavy expression. The soldiers of the Xiyuan Army behind him also wanted to follow, but were stopped by Chen Cheng, "His Majesty just passed away, so you don't take the palace system seriously.
?Stay waiting below for me!"
He turned to Wei Li and said, "Bring a few more pieces of white cloth and let them tie them up too."
According to the etiquette at this time, when the emperor dies, the world will naturally be in peace. Soldiers of the Xiyuan Army, you look at me and I look at you, then they took the white cloth and tied it on their left arm. Chen Cheng explained what was going on outside.
After what happened, he took Yan Zhong into the Jiade Hall again.
Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong had already listened to Jian Shuo's account of the incident and its results. Zhang Rang's face was livid, while Zhao Zhong's face showed a little helplessness. Seeing Chen Cheng walk in, Zhang Rang said: "Julu Hou,
You also know the matter. Now we are grasshoppers on the same rope. If we work together, we will both benefit, and if we divide, we will harm both. We must cooperate sincerely to overcome the current difficulties."
Chen Cheng nodded and said: "That's what it is. Please go to the West Garden immediately and control the troops. Da Changqiu and Zhongshu ordered us to go to the arsenal to get weapons and armor and arm everyone in the palace."
He was also tired. The calculations came and went, but no one was right. It was better not to make any calculations. Everyone used their soldiers and horses to fight with real swords and guns. Those who won celebrated with their bullets and crowns, and those who lost died.
Wouldn't it be nice? The world is decided by swords and guns, so it would be more enjoyable for everyone!
Well, he is alone and has no three or nine tribes to annihilate. Even if he loses, the worst he can do is run away. Even if he can't run away, it's just a death sentence. Who wouldn't know that?
Listening to Chen Cheng gesticulating, arranging this, arranging that, Zhao Zhong could remain expressionless, but Zhang Rang was furious, "Who are you, and you dare to give me orders?"
"Well?" Chen Cheng turned his head and asked doubtfully: "Could it be that Zhongshu Ling has a better idea?"
You losers, you can't even pull off a palace coup. You are so much worse than your predecessors, Cao Jie and Wang Fu. Now that we have reached this point, can you still think of any means to make a comeback?
Zhang Rang was speechless for a moment, and couldn't help but become angry. With a livid face, he spat out the words through his teeth, "Juluhou only needs to guard the emperor's coffin. For other matters, I have my own discretion!"
Chen Cheng looked at Zhang Rang for a while, and the atmosphere in the hall gradually became tense. Yan Zhong saw that the situation was not good, and quietly leaned to the side. The soldiers drew their weapons and slowly surrounded them. In the hall
The eunuchs and maids who were decorating the mourning hall saw that the situation was not good, so they all put down their work and looked for shelter.
But Chen Cheng has no intention of taking action now. In his opinion, no matter how things develop in the future, these people are dead. Therefore, he has no need to vent his anger on the dead. He smiled and spread his arms
He raised his hands to show that he meant no harm, "Then, how about I lead the troops to guard Nangong, and the military captain will dispatch the Xiyuan Army to suppress the capital?"
Zhang Rang snorted coldly and said nothing. Jian Shuo was silent for a while and said: "I will lead the troops to Xiyuan, and I will leave this place to Marquis Julu."
He walked up to Liu Xie who was being held in the arms of Empress Dowager Dong, knelt down and worshiped, and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, but the priest is still alive, so he won't let the thieves disturb His Highness."
Liu Xie sobbed and asked, "Who is the thief mentioned by the military colonel?"
Jian Shuo bowed again, but did not answer. After getting up, he turned around and walked out of the hall. Chen Cheng bowed his hands to Empress Dowager Dong and Liu Xie and followed them out. Compared to Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, he felt that Jian Shuo was still a Jian Shuo.
Shuo is easier to deal with.
"You few, stay here to assist Marquis Julu in guarding the palace. The rest of you will follow me!"
Jian Shuo turned to Chen Cheng and said, "I'll leave it to Marquis Julu here."
Chen Cheng said: "If you go to the military academy, it would be best if you can gather the Xiyuan Army. If you can't, please return to the palace as soon as possible."
Jian Shuo was eight feet tall, with a beard all over his face and a strong back. When he heard this, he said with emotion: "If things are not harmonious, I will die!"
After that, he jumped on his horse and shouted: "Follow me!"
Seeing Jian Shuo riding away, Chen Cheng sighed in his heart. Although this guy was a eunuch, he was still a good man. He looked back at the brightly lit Jiade Hall, and then said to Yan Zhong: "It won't be long before the general is here."
The soldiers and horses are about to arrive, please help me keep an eye on this place, I will come as soon as I go."
Yan Zhong said in astonishment: "Where are you going, Lord?"
When he saves others by himself, his first reaction is whether Chen Cheng is going to run away. Now that He Jin is not dead, he has even broken up with the eunuch. Unless he can reach an agreement with the general immediately, otherwise, he will be dead no matter how he looks at it.
deal.
Chen Cheng had no idea that Yan Zhong had gone through so many twists and turns in his heart. He had never liked lying, let alone deliberately deceiving. "I will take some people to control the arsenal, so that we can become a horn."
Yan Zhongxin said: Are you really going to control the arsenal?
He smiled and said: "The Queen Mother and Dong Hou are the foundation. The monarch is not here. If there is an emergency in the palace, even if we control the arsenal, what can we do? Why don't you give me a large number of soldiers and horses and let me capture it?
Arsenal, how about it?”
Yan Zhong saw that Chen Cheng seemed to be thinking, and said: "It is best to control the queen in the Jiade Hall. In this way, even if the general has many soldiers, we still have righteousness in hand, so we can fight."
Chen Cheng frowned and said: "I asked Zhang Rang to wait for them to send someone to call the queen and the prince and princess. Why do I still see their cars now? Could it be..."
He waved to Wei Li, and when he came over, he ordered: "Take two hundred people to the Xuanwu Gate. If the situation is not right,... set fire to Fu Dao!"
Wei Li was taken aback and asked quickly: "Why burn the Fudao? What situation is considered wrong?"
Chen Cheng thought for a while and felt that he might have overthought it, and said: "Forget it, you go to the arsenal with Chang Shi, seize the arsenal and then occupy it."
Wei Li asked again: "Attacking the arsenal is tantamount to rebellion, but the emperor..."
Speaking of this, he suddenly thought that the emperor was dead now, where was the emperor's edict?
Chen Cheng said, "You want an imperial edict? Let's go to Zhongshu Ling and get one."
After that, he entered the Jiade Hall again. After Zhang Rang heard him explain his purpose, he wrote him a letter without hesitation for a certain purpose. However, Fu Baolang refused to use the seal, saying that this imperial edict was not the emperor's intention.
Zhang Rang was furious, summoned his soldiers, and shouted: "Are you willing now or not?"
Fu Baolang sneered, raised his neck, closed his eyes, and said nothing.
Zhang Rang became even more angry and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay, we will kill you first today!"
Seeing this, Chen Cheng quickly stopped him and said, "How can there be blood in the emperor's mourning hall? I'll just come and talk to him."
Zhang Rang snorted coldly and said: "This man is hard and smelly, like a stone in a latrine. I want to see how Marquis Julu can reason with him."
Chen Cheng walked over and lifted Fu Baolang up. He was eight feet tall. Although he was not as strong as Jian Shuo Gongsun Zan, he had long arms and legs. After lifting Fu Baolang up, he grabbed the back of his neck and strangled him.
When his face turned purple, he reached out and took out all kinds of things.
Zhang Rang was stunned, "What kind of reasoning do you think you are doing?"
Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Didn't I explain it well?"
Zhang Rang sneered, but Chen Cheng didn't take it seriously. He just got the things. He walked out, handed the imperial edict to Wei Li, and said, "Didn't Zhongshu Ling write one for us?"
Wei Li took the imperial edict, but it was as if he was in a dream, and he felt a sense of absurdity in his heart. It should be noted that the emperor is supreme and inviolable in the hearts of people like them, but what happened in front of him was the most important thing in his heart.
The sacred thing was broken by the bridge.
Yan Zhong, however, did not have much respect for the emperor, otherwise he would not have encouraged Huangfu Song to rebel. He snatched the imperial edict with his hands, read it hastily, and said with a smile: "This imperial edict is worth thousands of soldiers and horses, your Majesty."
Hou, without further ado, let’s go.”
Before leaving, Yan Zhong whispered again: "Zhang Rang and others cannot be trusted. If the situation is critical, they can set fire to the palace and then escape in the chaos."
Chen Cheng had a headache again. Yan Zhong was really brave. He came up with random ideas that no normal person would dare to do. Would letting him out be a wrong decision?
But what he needs now is bold people. People who are obedient and cautious don't dare to do such bold things with him. So Chen Cheng smiled and said: "I can take care of myself, but you should be more careful."
After Yan Zhong and Wei Li led their troops from Canglong Gate in the east, Chen Cheng did not hesitate anymore and led his troops directly to Xuanwu Gate. Whether he was overthinking or not, he wanted to control both the Queen and Liu Bian first. As long as the Queen and Liu Bian were
With the Queen Mother in his hands, he had the highest righteousness and the capital to make deals with He Jin or anyone else.
Although it is said that big shots can change their opinions faster than turning over a book, but as long as there is some room for change, he is confident that he can... well, he can change the direction and move forward, which is the so-called change of direction.
