The emperor slept in the tent without mentioning it, and some of the imperial edicts sent by the emperor were conveyed to everyone.
They all had different reactions. Among them, Prince Teng, the military governor of the Beijing camp, was overjoyed after receiving the imperial edict. He was originally a confidant of the emperor. This time the prince rebelled, and his position was in jeopardy. I am afraid that the position of military governor of the Beijing camp will definitely be lost to the prince.
He was replaced by his confidant, and he himself might even be in danger of losing his fortune. Moreover, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had sent several orders before, asking him to hand over his military power to protect his family. But Wang Ziteng knew that if he did not have military power at this critical moment, he might
It's just the fish on the chopping board.
So he ignored the orders from the prince. He only told the prince that if there was an order from the emperor, he would immediately hand over his military power. Before there was an order from the emperor, he refused to obey the order.
Since most of the troops had been sent to besiege the emperor, the prince could not spare any troops to deal with Prince Teng, so he could only let him wait until the emperor gave the decree to abdicate, and then ordered to deprive Prince Teng of the capital camp.
Those who wanted to come to the capital camp did not dare to disobey the Jiedushi's position. Even though Wang Ziteng had great ability, he could only be dismissed from his post.
Just when Wang Ziteng was troubled and at a loss in the camp, the emperor sent this imperial edict. What does this mean? It means that the prince did not control the emperor, and the emperor had already ran to the military camp of his nephew Jia Ke.
This time Wang Ziteng was happy. The Wang family and the Jia family had been married for generations, and both families prospered and suffered losses. So this time, with the help of his 150,000 troops in the capital, plus Jia Ke's 50,000 elites.
Even if everyone else is on the side of the prince, they are still no match for the two of them.
After receiving the imperial edict, Wang Ziteng no longer hesitated and ordered the 150,000 troops from the capital camp to approach Jia Ke's 50,000 elite troops in Xuanfu Town, intending to join forces with the two families to jointly protect the emperor's restoration.
As soon as Wang Ziteng took action with these 150,000 men, he immediately alerted several other Jiedu envoys and the general soldiers.
These five or six Jiedu envoys and general soldiers had just received the emperor's imperial edict, and they were hesitant now. They didn't know whether to obey the emperor's edict or to seek refuge with the prince to gain greater fame. At this time, they saw Wang Zipeng
He commanded the 150,000-strong capital camp and moved towards Jia Ke's military camp. It was obvious that he wanted to join forces with Jia Ke. In this way, the emperor gathered 200,000 troops and had an overwhelming advantage over the prince.
If they don't go to join the emperor now, I'm afraid there won't be any need for the emperor to send troops to attack. As long as the emperor sends an imperial edict, their generals will tie them up and send them to the emperor for personal reward. In this case, there is nothing to hesitate about.
So? So the leading generals from all walks of life mobilized their troops and moved closer to Jia Ke's military camp.
These six groups of soldiers and horses add up to more than 100,000, and they will move towards Jia Ke in a mighty manner.
Since there are people who are close to the emperor, there must be die-hard loyalists to the prince. Among them are two people, one is Huo Tu, the Minister of War who controls the imperial army, and the other is Zhang Chi, the admiral of the Nine Gates.
Huo Tu had no way out. He killed King Beijing and seized the military power of the Forbidden Army. The emperor would never let him go, so he followed the prince wholeheartedly, without any chance to regret.
Zhang Chi, the admiral of the Nine Sects, had received favors from the prince, and he was very loyal. He believed that if he received a drop of kindness from others, he would repay it with a spring of water. Therefore, he was loyal to the prince without any second thoughts. This time, although he received the favor from the emperor
However, he immediately took the decree and sent it to the prince, showing his loyalty to the prince and asking the prince to make preparations in advance.
The prince took the emperor's decree and read it carefully, and then sneered as if he didn't care at all. He said to Zhang Chi: "You don't have to worry, we have the imperial army in the capital and your infantry commanding the Yamen with 50,000 troops, plus
If the 100,000-strong army of the Liaodong Jiedushi only defends the city, even a million-strong army will not be able to attack it. I want to see what my father will do when his army runs out of food."
After listening to the prince's words, Zhang Chi thought about it and realized that this is indeed the truth. Since ancient times, wars have been fought with food and grass, but now all the food and grass in the capital are in the city. Each section is under his command. Although he brought some food and grass with him, he could not hold on.
As long as they hold on to the city for a long time, I'm afraid these people will eventually have to retreat, and the emperor and the prince will have to negotiate to resolve the matter.
Zhang Chi felt relieved when he thought of this. Although he was loyal to the prince, he still cared about his own wealth and life after all. Now it seemed that neither side had the ability to eliminate the other, so he felt relieved.
The prince acted very calmly at that time, as if he had everything under control. After dismissing Zhang Chi, he revealed his original weakness and slumped down in his seat.
He originally thought everything was safe. All the civil and military officials of the dynasty had returned to the capital to pay allegiance to him. He was just waiting for the emperor to die or surrender so that he could ascend the throne as emperor. He had been waiting for this day for more than thirty years, but he didn't expect it.
When he was about to succeed, he fell short. Thinking that the emperor commanded countless soldiers and surrounded the capital. And some of his people were really devoted to him. I am afraid that as long as the emperor gives an order outside the city,
Next, countless people came to capture him and ask for reward from the emperor.
After the prince sent Zhang Chi away, he ordered a banquet, summoned all his concubines, and began to have fun. He knew that his time was running out. What was waiting for him was either poisonous wine or lifelong imprisonment.
As for defeating the emperor's men and then seizing the throne himself, he no longer dared to think about it. With the remnants of the Liaodong Jiedushi, the defeated generals, the imperial guards who were pampered every day, and the infantry commander who knew how to bully the people.
It is simply a delusion to deal with the elites of several towns who have experienced hundreds of battles and have hundreds of thousands of troops. It is better to be drunk now. The prince is now completely desperate.
At this time, Huo Tu, who was in charge of the imperial army, also sat down on the ground after learning about the prince's actions. He originally thought that the prince still had some abilities, but he didn't expect that it turned out to be a silver-like wax spear head. At the critical moment, he couldn't be supported by mud.
Qiang. Even the prince gave up. One can only imagine what his soldiers and generals were thinking.
Huo Tu thought for a while and realized that he couldn't do this. He had to survive in death. If the emperor were to attack the capital, none of his nine tribes would be able to survive.
So Huo Tu led his soldiers and broke into the prince's east palace. At this time, the prince's east palace guards were already in panic. No one could stop him. When Huo Tu entered the prince's palace, the prince was drinking and having fun there with several beauties in his arms.
.
Huo Tu took a few steps forward and kicked over the table in front of the prince. This shocked the half-drunk prince.
"Huo Tu, what are you going to do? Do you also want to kill me?" the prince said angrily.
Huo Tu looked at this incompetent prince and felt so angry that his heart ached. "Imagine what time it is now and you are still drinking here. Does your highness want to die without a burial place?"
After listening to what he said, the prince burst into tears immediately, "Master Huo, what can I do now? If I had sent people to kill him up the mountain, how could the current result have happened."
Huo Tu now remembered that the prince was ruthless and wanted to kill his father directly, but he dissuaded him and spared the emperor's life. However, he did not expect such consequences.
Huo Tu is now a little helpless about this situation. He made a miscalculated move just for the sake of reputation. Unexpectedly, he harmed the prince and his whole family. He really regrets it.
As for Jia Ke's military camp, except for two groups of troops who did not dare to come against the will, the other groups of troops and horses gathered together in a mighty manner. By the time it was almost evening, there were already hundreds of thousands of people shouting "horse servants" near Xuanfu Town.
The troops and horses spread out the joint camp for dozens of miles, which was really huge.
The emperor woke up in the afternoon. Dai Quan, who was waiting next to him, saw that the emperor woke up and immediately went to help the emperor change his clothes. The emperor also waited on him, and now he was the only servant beside him. He took the emperor to wash up.
Asked Dai Quan next to him: "Where is Jia Aiqing now?"
"Reply to Lord Long Live, Mr. Jia has been standing outside the door to guard the emperor's tent." Dai Quan reported back to the emperor truthfully.
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but feel distressed. Jia Ke had been fighting beside him all the time, leading them to fight out of the camp of Jiedu Shi in Liaodong, and then leading them back to the camp for dozens of miles.
After that, he rested by himself, but he didn't dare to be careless and still stood outside to guard him. He was really loyal. I was really lucky to have such a loyal minister.
The emperor immediately ordered Jia Ke to come in and give a reply. Dai Quan immediately went out of the tent to convey the emperor's intention to Jia Ke.
Soon Dai Quan and Jia Ke entered the tent. As soon as Jia Ke entered the tent, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor. The emperor sat on the bed in the tent and quickly ordered Dai Quan next to him: "Hurry up and help Jia Aiqing up.
.”
Dai Quan quickly stepped forward to help Jia Ke. Seeing that it was the emperor's order, Jia Ke stood up.
Although the emperor is still wearing casual clothes, he has completely restored his previous majestic appearance. The emperor is seen stroking his beard and asking Jia Ke: "The order I issued has been passed on to the generals of each town? How many generals are there?
I respect the order, but how many generals disobey it?"
"Long live Qi, Prince Teng, the governor of the Beijing Camp, immediately set up camp after receiving the imperial decree and camped nearby, waiting for the emperor's dispatch." Jia Ke first showed Prince Teng out. After all, we are relatives and should help each other.
.
When the emperor heard that Wang Ziteng was the first to arrive, he nodded happily and said, "I was not wrong about him. He still thinks of me in times of crisis."
Jia Ke continued: "After Mr. Wang arrived, Wang Zuo, the military commander of Taiyuan, Chun Yuhua, the military commander of Baoding, Huang Ling, the military commander of Qingzhou, Guo Min, the military commander of Laizhou, Lin Feng, the military commander of Shandong, and Lu, the military commander of Henan.
Bin. The people from these six towns merged into one place and came nearby to wait for the emperor's orders."
When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but sneer, and Jia Ke said without hesitation: "I'm afraid these people saw you and Prince Teng joining forces. They had no chance of winning even if they took refuge with the prince, so they came to listen to my orders. It's just
They are just a bunch of useless people. We still need them now, and I will slowly deal with them after I return home."
Jia Ke kept silent at this time. This was not something that Jia Ke could say. Although the emperor now regarded him as a confidant and would not go behind his back on anything he said, he must have the minimum courtesy of a monarch and his ministers and must not be arrogant or domineering.
, otherwise the emperor’s trust would not last long.
Dai Quan next to him saw that Jia Ke was so aware of current affairs, and couldn't help but admire him. He had been scheming in the palace since he was a child, but when he was as discerning as Jia Ke, he was already in his thirties, and Jia Ke was less than two years old.
At the age of ten, I understand what can and cannot be done. It seems that at least while the emperor is here, the favor will not decline.
After the emperor finished venting his anger, Jia Ke asked cautiously: "Your Majesty's generals are waiting outside the tent. Has the Emperor seen them?"
