Lu Wenyang raised his brows and chuckled, looking at Zhang Yong and saying: "You and I are indeed not famous enough, but someone who is famous is coming soon."
Zhang Yong's heart moved, and he said with a bit of joy on his face: "Sir, the Chief Assistant will really issue a statement with us?"
Lu Wenyang said calmly: "The Chief Assistant has no choice. I have sent people to invite you. As long as we can successfully capture the capital, what choice do you think the Chief Assistant will make?"
Zhang Yong took a deep breath, nodded heavily and said, "Okay, our family will give it a try with the Governor."
On the huge school ground, millions of taels of silver were piled together, and the white silver shone with dazzling brilliance. Lu Wenyang took out three million taels of silver to reward the army, and took another one million taels of silver for the generals.
The general is fed.
A ragged soldier took over a hundred taels of heavy silver from Lu Wenyang with great expectation and served as a soldier's food. Even though he knew that following Lu Wenyang, Qingjun was suspected of rebelling, he had short hands and a short mouth to eat people.
Since he took so much money, he was rebelling, and they all accepted it.
Looking at those soldiers, Lu Wenyang, and Zhang Yong were filled with hope. As long as the military's will is what they wanted, they would go and secure the land of the capital.
On the Grand Canal, the section from Tianjin City to the capital was completely blocked. Not a single ship could be seen on the canal. On the contrary, downstream, large ships carrying troops and horses were heading straight for Tianjin City.
On almost the third day, there were five thousand more soldiers and horses in Tianjin City. However, the sources of these five thousand soldiers and horses were very mixed. They were all from the canal line. Lu Wenyang's confidants were ordered to come.
There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the guard posts on both sides of the Grand Canal. In fact, it would be good to collect half of them. Excluding the old, weak, sick and disabled, there are only ten or twenty thousand people that can be used.
Excluding some Qianhu officials who were not Lu Wenyang's confidants, it can be said that almost half of Lu Wenyang's confidants came to the front line of the canal. As for those further away, they also rushed to Tianjin city as soon as they received the news.
It has to be said that Lu Wenyang really used all the experience he had accumulated over many years of operating on the canal front this time.
If the Qing Dynasty failed, there would not even be a need for the imperial court to clean up the Grand Canal. Lu Wenyang himself would have wiped out all the confidants he had installed.
From Lu Wenyang's point of view, his biggest goal is to use all his strength to win the capital. As long as he succeeds in rebuilding the world, he will be a powerful minister with all the power in the world. How can a mere grand canal satisfy his appetite.
As for failure, if he really failed, it must be because he was not strong enough, so Lu Wenyang tried every means to gather his confidants, soldiers and horses to strive for a successful battle.
On this day, a group of soldiers and horses entered Tianjin City surrounded by a carriage.
At the entrance of the Lu Mansion, Lu Wenyang, Zhang Yong and other civil and military officials looked at the carriage approaching slowly. When it came close, Lu Wenyang stepped forward and respectfully walked towards the carriageway: "Your Majesty, Lu Wenyang, pays homage to the Chief Minister!"
In the carriage was none other than Yang Tinghe, the chief minister of the dynasty who came to investigate Lu Wenyang on the order of the emperor.
The door curtain was opened, and Yang Tinghe was sitting in the carriage, looking at Lu Wenyang and others with a calm expression. Everyone looked at Yang Tinghe, and they all felt like they were penetrated by him.
Only Yang Tinghe shouted: "Lu Wenyang, you are so brave, what do you want to do?"
Hearing this, a smile flashed in Lu Wenyang's lowered eyes, and he slowly raised his head to look at Yang Tinghe and said: "Sir, the emperor is stupid and ignorant. First he favored Liu Jin, then Chu Yi, and allowed the eunuchs to bring trouble to the court.
Slaughter the loyal and upright ministers in the court, such as Ge Lao Li Shi, Huang Huai, Huang Kui, etc."
Yang Tinghe snorted coldly and said: "As a minister, making arrogant comments about the emperor is a crime of great rebellion and injustice. Do you know this?"
Lu Wenyang said in a high-pitched voice: "The emperor has been deceived by the eunuchs. We, the ministers, should wake up the emperor, and ask the chief minister to rise up and call out, Xingyi division, Qingjun side, and give me a bright and bright world!"
"Xingyi Division, Qing Jun is on your side!"
"Xingyi Division, Qing Jun is on your side!"
All the civil and military personnel present and even the surrounding soldiers shouted in unison.
Taking a step forward, Lu Wenyang said to Yang Tinghe: "Master Chief Assistant, please!"
Yang Tinghe slowly shook his head: "Tinghe was trusted by Emperor Meng and was entrusted with the position of chief minister of the cabinet. Although I can't stop you from committing such treachery today, I won't join in with you!"
Lu Wenyang didn't take it seriously and chuckled: "I believe you will stand up for all the people in the world!"
After speaking, Lu Wenyang said respectfully: "Please come into the mansion and rest, Sir!"
After sending Yang Tinghe into the palace, Lu Wenyang looked solemn and said: "Everyone, as the chief assistant is here, we have the honor of great righteousness in our hands. We will immediately issue a proclamation, raise troops to the capital, clear the emperor's side, and remove the eunuchs!"
All the confidants suddenly agreed.
Among the capital
On this day, tens of thousands of people gathered in front of the Meridian Gate. In order to prevent accidents, the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion even mobilized soldiers and horses into the city to maintain order.
The criminals headed by Huang Huai and others were all taken to the execution ground, and there were thousands of them in such a dense crowd.
Surrounded by hundreds of civil and military officials from the DPRK and China who came to supervise the execution under the emperor's imperial decree.
Among the hundreds of officials, many officials looked at the familiar figures who were being held in the execution ground. Not long ago, they might have worked together and listened to music together, but now they may soon be separated from each other.
Some officials looked at Huang Huai and others with pale faces, feeling sad.
As noon approached, even the people who were talking around seemed to feel that the chilling and oppressive atmosphere gradually calmed down.
"Your Majesty is here!"
Suddenly, I saw a car approaching from afar. Jinyi Guard, Jinwu Guard, and Yulin Guard opened the way. It was Zhu Houzhao, the emperor of the day.
Zhu Houzhao's sudden arrival shocked many people. They never expected that Zhu Houzhao would come to the execution site in person.
Chu Yi, who was sitting in the execution ground and supervising the beheading, was stunned for a moment, then stood up to greet Zhu Houzhao. All the civil and military officials around him also went with Chu Yi to greet Zhu Houzhao.
"I respectfully welcome His Majesty, His Majesty!"
Zhu Houzhao slowly got off the Luanjia, glanced around, and finally stretched out his hand and said: "All the ministers will go down without courtesy!"
Chu Yi stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the bloody and evil place of the execution ground, your Majesty's body of all saints..."
Zhu Houzhao shook his head and said: "I came here this time to personally see these rebellious people being punished."
The officials around him felt the evil spirit in Zhu Houzhao's words and felt a chill in their hearts. This emperor, who in the past seemed to them to have no imperial dignity at all, seemed to have a bit more of Taizu and Chengzu in his body at this moment.
Walking to the high platform, Zhu Houzhao sat down, his eyes swept over the officials and said: "All the ministers, please take a seat and join me in supervising the execution. I also hope that you will learn from it and don't make mistakes.
You lost your life in vain.”
"I respectfully obey His Majesty's teachings!"
Noon has arrived, the sun is at the middle of the sky, and the Yang energy is strong.
Chu Yi saluted Zhu Houzhao, stood up slowly, glanced around, and all eyes fell on Chu Yi.
Then Chu Yi shouted in a deep voice: "Take the criminal and prove his identity!"
The first people to be brought up were Huang Huai, Ma Yunzhang, Mo Qing and others.
A famous criminal was led to the beheading platform. The executioners, all full of evil spirits and holding ghost-headed knives, stood there. When the hoods were taken off, the embarrassed Huang Huai and others adapted to the dazzling sunlight and saw what they were sitting there.
Zhu Houzhao, civil and military officials, and Chu Yi slowly picked up the token.
Behind him was the executioner who raised the ghost-headed sword. Huang Huai and others suddenly trembled and almost collapsed.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
"I know I was wrong, please spare me!"
"Foolish king, eunuch, you will not die well, hahaha..."
"Your Majesty Taizu, you have a spirit in heaven, and our country, the Ming Dynasty, will perish!"
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but frowned. At the same time, Chu Yi shouted: "Behead!"
As the token fell to the ground, the ghost-headed sword cut through the void, and blood spattered suddenly. The shouts of Huang Huai, Ma Yunzhang and others suddenly stopped, and heads rolled to the ground one by one.
Among the officials, many people watched helplessly as the heads rolled down one after another. Some were so frightened that cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and some were so frightened that they peed their pants. There were also officials who watched indifferently with unchanged expressions.
"cut!"
As waves of criminals were brought in, dozens of executioners were chopped off with one blow. In the end, they were panting from exhaustion. For more than an hour, the execution ground was filled with a strong smell of blood, and many officials around them vomited.
, some officials even fainted.
Even Zhu Houzhao, who was sitting there, looked pale at the moment, but he insisted on sitting there and refused to leave.
Among the crowd, a figure is quite eye-catching, with a jade-like face and an elegant and refined temperament. If Sun Jing'an, Li Yi and others who were taken to the execution ground to be executed would definitely recognize this person when they saw him, they would definitely recognize him as the person who refused to be executed in the first place.
Song Yu, a Confucian disciple who signed the letter of advice.
Song Yu stood in the crowd, looking at Chu Yi who was killing decisively, and then at Zhu Houzhao who was sitting there steadily, with a somewhat dignified expression on his face.
When Li Yi, Sun Jing'an and other scholars were brought up, each of them cried and begged.
Regarding the treatment of these scholars, Zhu Houzhao did not show mercy, but chose to impose severe punishments to serve as a warning to others.
"cut!"
Seeing a famous scholar being beheaded, a stern look flashed in Song Yu's eyes among the crowd. Although he initially disdained Li Yi, Sun Jing'an and others, he never thought that the emperor and Chu Yi would treat these scholars.
The son was sentenced to death.
These scholars were the foundation for Confucianism to control the world, but now they were being massacred. How could Song Yu, who was born in the Confucian sect, not feel resentful?
"The emperor is unruly and favors the eunuchs. In the past, the Qin Dynasty burned books and harassed Confucians, but this was just like this!"
On the long street, fast horses were galloping. When they saw the messenger on the horse, everyone's expressions changed and they quickly evaded and made way for them.
The urgent messenger is eight hundred miles away. If anyone dares to stop him and is killed, his death will be in vain.
The messenger first went to the direction of the Leopard Room, and soon saw Qiu Ju, the manager who stayed behind in the Leopard Room, rushing out of the Leopard Room with an ugly look on his face. He couldn't help but use Qinggong and went straight to the execution site like a ghost.
On the execution ground, almost all the criminals were lying down. Above the sky, the sun was shining brightly. However, everyone couldn't help but feel chills all over their bodies when they looked at the corpses on the execution ground.
At this moment, a sharp shout came: "News, eight hundred miles of urgent news, Yang Tinghe, the chief minister of the cabinet, Lu Wenyang, the governor of water transportation, Zhang Yong, the chief of internal affairs supervision, and Lu Wende, the Tianjin garrison, rebelled and issued a proclamation. Qingjun, come straight to the capital!"
Qiu Ju's body fell on the execution ground, his face was pale, he prostrated himself in front of Zhu Houzhao, and respectfully presented the urgent report in his hand.
When Zhu Houzhao heard what Qiu Ju said, his expression changed greatly. The rebel king Zhu Zhixiu raised his troops to rebel under the banner of Qingjun. Fortunately, he was suppressed by the troops led by Yang Yiqing, the commander-in-chief of the three sides.
Unexpectedly, at the gateway to the capital, the Governor of Water Transport, Lu Wenyang, and others would dare to use the banner of Qingjun.
Among the officials, except for those who fainted, it can be said that everyone heard Qiu Jucai's shouting.
Everyone's expressions changed drastically. Many people were refreshed when they heard about it, some looked solemn, and some were secretly delighted.
Zhu Houzhao quickly browsed the emergency report, slapped his hand on the desk, and shouted angrily: "It's so arrogant that a corrupt and bribe-taking governor actually has the nerve to launch an army to oust the emperor. Who gave him such courage? "
Zhu Houzhao was extremely furious, his face turned livid, and he was obviously really angry.
Chu Yi stood up and prostrated, saying, "I am guilty!"
The officials reacted at this moment, and one by one they quickly stood up and came forward, bowing to the ground. No matter what they thought in their hearts, they all confessed their guilt.
Zhu Houzhao smashed a tea cup at an official and shouted: "Guilty, guilty, what have you been doing in your daily life? What's the use of asking you to wait!"
After the thunder and anger, when Zhu Houzhao vented his anger, Chu Yi glanced at the leader, the British Duke Zhang Mao, and Zhang Mao slowly said: "Your Majesty, please calm down, the top priority is to consider how to deal with Lu Wenyang and other rebels. "
Zhu Houzhao waved his sleeves, stood up and said, "Let's go back to the palace and let all the officials discuss Lu Wenyang's rebellion!"
As hundreds of officials entered the palace, everyone around the execution ground dispersed, but the news that Lu Wenyang, Yang Tinghe and others had launched an army to clear the emperor's side also spread throughout the capital.
Countless people were shocked when they heard the news. Zhu Zhixiu felt very far away from everyone. After all, Zhu Zhixiu was located in a border town, thousands of miles away from the capital. However, Tianjin was too close to the capital, almost Be around.
Following the Grand Canal, the army could reach the capital in one day, so the capital was immediately boiling.
In the palace, hundreds of officials were noisy, and in the solemn and solemn hall, there were several pavilion elders, nobles from the Fifth Army Governor's Office, and the hurriedly summoned generals from the Beijing camp. The originally spacious hall turned out to be a bit crowded. .
Zhu Houzhao sat there, looking at everyone with an unkind expression.
Chu Yi, British Duke Zhang Mao and several cabinet ministers were sitting there, while the other distinguished generals stood solemnly, and the atmosphere seemed quite solemn.
