Xiao Kun left Xihua Gate and rushed straight to the Infantry Command Yamen.
Now on this Royal Street, because the Forbidden City has been blocked by the Forbidden City and internal and external traffic is cut off, all the adults are waiting for news at home and want to see what the specific situation is before making a decision. So it can be said that the scene of people coming and going along the way is completely the same as before.
Different, now both sides of the road are guarded by elite soldiers under Jia Ke, prohibiting anyone from connecting privately.
This allowed Xiao Kun to quickly arrive in front of the infantry commander's office without any obstruction.
As soon as Xiao Kun arrived at the gate of the infantry commander's office, the soldiers discovered him. These people naturally knew that Xiao Kun was Jia Ke's confidant, so no one dared to stop him.
After Xiao Kun dismounted, he threw his horse to the soldiers guarding him and went straight into the lobby of the infantry commander's office.
Now Fan Kang is working in the lobby of the Infantry Commander's Office. Now the Infantry Commander's Office has become the command center of all the armies in the capital. Fan Kang is sitting here and commands all the troops in the capital. Although he is only a chief clerk, he can actually be said to be the commander of the capital.
The most powerful person in the world.
Fan Kang is currently staring at the map in the lobby, wondering where Jia Ke is now and when he can return to the capital.
Suddenly he heard the sound of rapid footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Xiao Kun who was in charge of the Forbidden Army.
As soon as Xiao Kun saw Fan Kang, he immediately went up and saluted and said: "Commander, the emperor has issued an imperial edict to confer our commander-in-chief on. Please take a look."
After Xiao Kun finished, he sent the imperial edict's body to Fan Kang's eyes.
Fan Kang was not surprised at all, as if he had known that such a thing would happen. He calmly took the imperial edict and opened it, carefully read the contents on it, and then casually threw it on the table.
Xiao Kun saw Fan Kang's attitude and knew that he was somewhat dissatisfied with this part of the imperial edict, so he asked: "Mr. Fan, is there something wrong with this edict?"
Fan Kang knew that this person was one of Jia Ke's confidants, so he did not hide it from him: "This imperial edict gives our commander-in-chief a position that is too low to allow our commander-in-chief to rule the country."
"Then how should you seal your husband's intention?"
"According to my wishes, we should make our commander-in-chief the Duke of Yan, and the prime minister should take the post of general, add nine tins, praise and worship without name, enter the court without following, and go to the palace with swords and shoes. Only in this way can we be worthy of our commander-in-chief.
"
Xiao Kun next to him took a breath when he heard this. It was okay to be granted the title of Duke of Yan. However, Jiuxi behind him was a bit frightened and incomprehensible.
Fan Kang saw Xiao Kun's panic, and he said expressionlessly, "We, the commander-in-chief, cannot bring up these matters. As subordinates, we should handle them first for the commander-in-chief."
Xiao Kun asked hesitantly: "If you do this, the commander-in-chief won't blame us when he comes back, right?"
"It's okay. If the commander-in-chief comes back, I will bear the blame alone. You don't have to worry. And we, the commander-in-chief, must not let us know about this in advance. We, the ministers, will bear the blame for the commander-in-chief."
After Fan Kang and Xiao Kun finished talking about this matter, he thought for a while and said, "If you go back and tell the emperor like this, I'm afraid he won't agree. I'll call all the generals from the three battalions together in a while, and we'll bring our troops.
If you go directly to the palace, the emperor will agree or not."
When Xiao Kun heard Fan Kang say these words, he had already calmed down, "In this case, please sir, please issue an order as soon as possible. Let's get the matter done today and let the eunuch go deliver the order immediately to avoid delaying the commander's work."
time."
Fan Kang did not issue a military order in such a hurry, but asked: "How are the royal family members in the capital doing now?"
Xiao Kun was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then hurriedly replied: "I have sent people to keep an eye on these mansions, but I have not sent troops to besiege them. What is the opinion of the military advisor?"
Fan Kang nodded silently. He originally thought about killing all the palace nobles this time, but then he thought that if he went too far, the world would criticize him too much, which would not be conducive to their lord ruling the world in the future, so he did this
I tolerated it for the time being, but even though I didn't want to kill them immediately, I couldn't let them make trouble.
"You go back and tell your subordinates that if these princes and nobles do not know what is good, don't be polite, kill them as a warning to others, and let the world know that those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish."
Xiao Kun nodded and said nonchalantly: "I know about this. I'll go back and make arrangements right away. Then there's the matter of giving our lord a reward. If it's decided like this, I'll tell them. You'd better go ahead and tell them.
Hurry up and send the order to the three commanders of the three camps, otherwise, I won’t be able to change the emperor’s mind for a while.”
Fan Kang nodded, and then immediately called the messengers in the infantry commander's yamen, and then asked them to send a message to the deputy general of Xishan Camp Zheng Kai, the deputy general of Ruijian Camp Ma Zuo, and the deputy general of Fenwu Camp Xiao Yue, and let them each bring their relatives.
The soldiers met at the infantry commander's Yamen.
After receiving the order, these messengers rode out of Beijing directly on their fast horses and headed in all directions.
This became the general of the three major battalions outside the city. In fact, he had already noticed that something was wrong in the capital.
However, they did not have military orders from Jia Ke and Fan Kang, and they did not dare to act casually, so they could only wear full military uniforms and order their soldiers to unsheath their swords, string their bows, and wait for orders at any time.
Moreover, the three of them also contacted each other, thinking that if things went wrong, they would send troops to attack the capital together.
As a result, within a short time, the soldiers sent by Fan Kang arrived, which made them feel relieved.
Although these people were relieved, they did not lower their vigilance. All the troops were still on high alert, ready for orders at any time.
At the same time, the three men each sent out their scouting horses to patrol around the capital, fearing that some blind people would lead their men and horses to King Qin.
It was at this time that they received Fan Kang's order, so these few people did not dare to neglect, and each took his own soldiers, dressed neatly, and went to the infantry command yamen.
Besides, Fan Kang and others had been waiting at the Infantry Commander's Yamen for less than an hour when they heard shouts from people outside. Immediately after, three generals walked in outside the Infantry Commander's Yamen. All three of them were dressed in velvet.
Xiao Yue, Zheng Kai, and Ma Zuo each led their elite troops into the lobby of the infantry commander's office. As soon as they saw Fan Kang, they immediately raised their hands and saluted, "I have seen the military advisor before you, the general."
"Everyone, get up. I've called you all here this time because I have something to discuss with you," Fan Kang sat on the main seat in the middle and said to them.
The three people below looked at each other, then handed over their hands again and said: "Everything is decided by sir. We dare not disobey the commander's order."
Fan Kang said with a smile: "You don't have to be so nervous. The main reason is that we have surrounded the Forbidden City today. Do you know the reason?"
The three people below shook their heads and said: "I will lead the troops outside later. I don't know the specific situation in the capital. Please give me some advice, sir."
"In the morning, the emperor suddenly used several generals from the Forbidden Army he had roped in to control the Forbidden Army and attack the three mansions on Ningrong Street."
The three people below were a little angry when they heard what Fan Kang said. You must know that Jia Ke is as important as the gods in their hearts, and now their gods have been offended.
Fan Kang looked at the angry expressions of the three of them, and then said: "I took the people from the Forbidden Army and found out that the emperor sent people to kill our lord on the Northern Expedition, but I didn't expect that the generals of the Northern Expedition would already be us
A subordinate of the lord. Because the incident was exposed, I wanted to make a desperate move."
As soon as Fan Kang finished speaking, Zheng Kai rushed to say: "In that case, why are you being polite to them? Let's go back and order troops to rush into the capital and kill all these bastards."
Fan Kang was a little angry when he heard Zheng Kai's words, "Shut up, my lord ordered me to command the three armies. Now I am discussing with you, not letting you make a decision."
Zheng Kai was also a little angry, but he knew that his lord had given all the power to Fan Kang when he left. Now he could only obey Fan Kang's orders, so he could only stand aside muttering.
Fan Kang saw that Zheng Kai had been suppressed, and then he said: "The emperor just issued an imperial edict to make up for the situation by making our commander-in-chief prime minister and general. I think this title is a bit low. So I think it should be
Let the emperor give our lord a title."
The three generals standing at the base looked at Fan Kang, wanting to know what he meant. Even some of them had some words in their hearts and were frightened back by Fan Kang's reprimanding Zheng Kai just now.
"I think the emperor should make our lord the Duke of Yan, and the prime minister should take the post of general, add nine tins, praise and worship without name, enter the court without following, and go to the palace with swords and shoes. What do you think." After Fan Kang finished, he looked at it.
Let the three people below make their decision.
The three people below have been Jia Ke's best friends for a long time. Now that they heard that Fan Kang wanted to force the emperor to grant Jia Ke such an official position, instead of feeling scared, they became happy.
So they all said together: "That's right. In the past, our lord's name was not justified, but now with this title, he can rule the country in a legitimate and legitimate way, and use his power for his own use."
Fan Kang stood up with a smile when he heard this, "Okay, since everyone agrees, let's lead the troops into the palace now. Let our emperor issue an order immediately. Otherwise, when our lord comes back, I am afraid that the kindness of the Supreme Emperor will be lost again.
They are going to escape this time."
The generals below immediately shouted together. In fact, they had been looking forward to this day for a long time. Now they finally no longer have to hide and can stand up openly.
So Fan Kang went in front, followed closely by Zheng Kai, Ma Zuo, Xiao Kun, and Xiao Yue, and came out of the Infantry Commander's Yamen.
Several personal soldiers.
Fan Kang was the first to mount his horse, and the other four generals also mounted their horses one after another. Then the nearly a thousand men and horses marched straight to the palace gate. They were very ostentatious along the way, without any cover-up, and as a result, they had just reached the halfway point.
By that time, all the dignitaries in the capital already knew the news.
