Chapter 137: The overall situation is set

Views:

Sitting in Dongfang Lund’s study, Dongfanghong was drinking tea while listening to his father Dongfang Lund telling him about the usurpation of the throne in the palace on the day of the duel.

Just as Dongfanghong had long expected, Taishi Wei used this duel with Dongfanghong to draw everyone's attention to the duel, while Taishi Wei secretly contacted his cronies to prepare to rebel against the "Zhulang Literary Network".

This time, the Wei family successfully wooed the five guard horses in the'Weiwei'. Each guard horse is 2,000 people, and the five guards are 10,000 horses. Wei Chenghu also took advantage of the power of his deputy commander of the Imperial City Guards to secretly control two battalions of the Guards, each with 10,000 horses. The most important thing is that before the action, Wei Chenghu would use poison to kill all dissident high and middle-level generals of the Imperial Guard. The rest of the Imperial Guard, which was not under the control of the Wei family, were also completely paralyzed because they did not have the command of the generals.

In this way, the Wei Taishi family, using the existing rights in their hands, was able to successfully control 30,000 troops, plus the dead guards in Wei Taishi's home, and the guards in his confidant mansion totaling nearly 10,000. As long as the remaining imperial city guards are turned into decorations, it is very exciting for these nearly 40,000 troops to enter the imperial palace. But even so, trying to control the emperor with a mere 40,000 horses is obviously not enough to threaten the civil and military forces of the Manchu dynasty.

Just the emperor’s personal “Yulin Army” had 30,000 people, and the combat effectiveness of these people was one level higher than that of other troops. There were also a large number of martial arts masters in the palace, which was also a powerful force. There are also the remaining ten guard horses of the'Weiwei', guarding the four armies of the'front, back, left, and right' guarding the safety of the capital. Each army has 50,000 soldiers and horses. This does not include the guards in the official residences in the capital. Death man and so on.

With such a large-scale force, Taishi Wei believes that the 40,000 people in his hand are not opponents at all, so Taishi Wei used the strategy of challenging Dongfanghong to paralyze the opponent and attract everyone's attention. Also, the arrangement of the duel time was deliberately made by Taishi Wei. The duel was the first day of June, and the imperial court ruled that every first and fifteenth day of the first and fifteenth day of the new year, officials of the Manchu dynasty and military officials at rank 4 and above in Beijing must participate. In this way, Taishi Wei would not have to arrest these ministers one by one, but would catch them all once and for all.

On the day of the court meeting, as long as the emperor and the Manchu civil and military were in his hands, wouldn't the world be easy to get it! When Taishi Wei came to see his 40,000 horses, they suddenly rushed into the Tai Chi Hall of the palace. At that time, the guards of the palace were only the Imperial Forest Army. Although the Yulin Army is fighting fiercely, Taishi Wei is confident that 40,000 people can still stop them. When 40,000 people stop the Yulin Army, Taishi Wei will personally lead martial arts masters and dead men into the'Tai Chi Hall' and quickly control the emperor and the ministers of civil and military affairs, so that they are foolproof. Up.

Late the day before the Wei Taishi's action, Emperor Zheng Yuan gave another order saying that Dongfanghong and the Wei family were duel in the'Wanzhulin'. He was worried that there would be a large-scale armed fight between the two families, which would lead to major damages such as loss of control, so he dispatched urgently. Ten Thousand Yulin Army is deployed in the'Ten Thousand Bamboo Grove', and it is strictly forbidden to approach them.

Taishi Wei was very excited after learning about this, so that there were only 20,000 Yulin Army defending the palace, and he was more certain of winning. In order to verify whether the Yulin Army was really mobilized, Taishi Wei sent people to closely monitor, and the people sent came back to report that'Ten Thousand Yulin Army has gone to Wanzhulin'. Taishi Wei was completely relieved now.

But Taishi Wei didn't expect that his plan was seen through by Dongfanghong from the very beginning, and he worked with Emperor Zheng Yuan to set off Taishi Wei early! From the beginning to the end, the Yulin Army had not been mobilized. The 10,000 horses were actually sent by the "Youjun" of the four armies controlled by Zheng Yuan. As for the remaining 40,000 soldiers and horses of the right army, Zheng Yuan decreed that Dongfang Lund led 20,000 soldiers and horses and entered the palace in batches quietly without knowing it. Zheng Yuan even took advantage of Ouchi masters in the early days of the day. Hundreds of people have long been arranged in the side halls on both sides of the main hall. It is precisely everything is ready and only owes east wind.

The plan has been finalized and the fishing nets are all opened, so Taishi Wei's rebellion and chaos will be completely suppressed without any suspense. At the same time, Taishi Wei also made great contributions to the emperor Zheng Yuan to weed out dissidents.

Just when Wei Chenglong took the five guards and horses and a large number of dead soldiers and guards into the palace under the support of the imperial guards, Wei Chenghu poisoned the other generals of the imperial guards and led the 20,000 guards to join them. Forty thousand horses quickly attacked the "Tai Chi Hall" of the civil and military officials. The Yulin Army immediately formed a defense, but the masters and dead men of the Wei family broke out of the defense and rushed into the "Tai Chi Hall". At this time, Taishi Wei, who was in the upper dynasty, was panicked by the Civil and Martial Arts of the Manchu Dynasty, and walked under his hand.

At that time, Taishi Wei looked up to the sky unscrupulously and laughed. In his opinion, the overall situation was already settled. Taishi Wei then verbally accused the emperor Zheng Yuan of all kinds of'crimes' after he was enthroned, and encouraged the ministers of the court to join him. The ministers and confidants who had a close relationship with Taishi Wei for a long time naturally responded immediately, even some officials who were not firm enough. Also fell to Taishi Wei. However, important officials such as Li Yuan and Dongfang Angyu dismissed Taishi Wei, while other courtiers who did not follow Taishi Wei were panicked. Seeing that Taishi Wei was already winning, who could not worry about being afraid!

As the protagonist targeted by the Wei Taishi, Zheng Yuan watched with cold eyes from beginning to end, neither panicking nor begging for mercy, but waited until the hall was completely divided into two factions. Taishi Wei led a small number of civil servants and generals to stand opposite the emperor, while all the remaining ministers guarded the emperor's jade dragon seat.

At this time, Zheng Yuan yelled: "Come here to escort you! Take down Wei Guozhong and other rebels and gangsters!"

At this time, Taishi Wei laughed more when he heard Zheng Yuan say this, wondering if Zheng Yuan was confused. But before he finished laughing, he saw hundreds of masters in the Partial Palace slaying out to protect the emperor and hundreds of civil and military officials. And 50,000 soldiers and horses suddenly appeared outside the hall, surrounding the rebels led by Wei Chenglong and Wei Chenghu. It turned out that it was Dongfang Lund's 20,000 troops hidden in the palace, and the 10,000 imperial guards arrived in time. When Dongfang Lund passed the Imperial Guard camp, he found the chaos there, so Dongfang Lund took over the remaining troops here with the imperial decree that Zheng Yuan gave him, and brought together the guards.

The battle was meaningless before this overwhelming advantage, and the soldiers immediately surrendered as soon as the situation was over. The guards around Taishi Wei wanted to protect him from escaping, but in front of the Ouchi masters, these people were simply vulnerable. In the end, Taishi Wei, amidst his chagrin and anger, drew his sword and defended himself against Ling Chi. But the Wei family brothers and other ministers who followed Wei Taishi's rebellion and rebellion were not so lucky, and they were all arrested.

Seeing that the overall situation had been determined, Zheng Yuan immediately issued a decree, ordering Dongfang Lunde to lead the Imperial Guard and the Beijing Defense Forces to immediately control all the courtiers' residences that participated in the rebellion. The Right Army was ordered to immediately close the four cities and impose a curfew throughout the city. Ordered the'Taiwei' Dongfang Angyu and the'Official Bu Shangshu' Li Yuan immediately sent troops to destroy the Wei Taishi's party members in various places, and so on a series of orders were issued. At this point, the Manchumen and martial arts realized that the emperor came fully prepared, just waiting for Taishi Wei to cast himself into the net!

In just a few days, the Wei Taishi clan and his party members were completely wiped out in this world. Taishi Wei was sentenced to annihilation of the nine clans for usurping the throne in a certain dynasty. Wei Chenghu and others who directly participated in the action were put to death. Although Taishi Wei died, he had to whip five hundred corpses. All were distributed. Taishi Wei and other major criminals have their first level hanging in the four gates of the capital to show the public. This includes the head of the heavenly master Wan Huajian. Who made him fight Dongfanghong to cooperate with Taishi Wei's rebellion!

Also because of the Wan Huajian matter, the emperor put on the agenda the killing of Dongfang Hong and the Wei family some time ago. This time it seems that Dongfang Hong has no fault and should be commended. Because Dongfanghong had long seen that Taishi Wei had a ghost in his heart, he would attack the Wei family's forces. Therefore, all the heroes who helped Dongfanghong deal with the Wei family were naturally innocent.

Dongfanghong is fine here, but it's not that the people who helped Taishi Wei are fine. This is not a decree from Zheng Yuan to allow the people involved in protecting the Wei family to surrender to the government to surrender in order to seek lenient treatment. Those who do not surrender at that time will be wiped out by the country by sending troops. Of course, these people do not include'Wanjian Villa' and three or four sects.'Wanjian Villa' is classified as the best friend of Taishi Wei, and of course the clan will be destroyed. Those sects are not very powerful, Zheng Yuan wants to use them to kill chickens and show them to the monkeys.

This is also Dongfanghong's idea for Zheng Yuan, that is, not to offend the entire chivalrous way, which is tantamount to driving them to the side of the'Yingtian Pavilion'. Zheng Yuan accepted Dongfanghong's proposal, so those people who only had to go to the government to surrender were only reprimanded by the government. After writing the letter of guarantee, they were released immediately without beatings or fines.

At this moment, those who originally had a little illusion about'Yingtian Pavilion' completely abandoned'Yingtian Pavilion'. No need to look at anything else, just look at the head of the ten thousand-flower sword hanging on the gate of the capital, it is enough to make people chill! A generation of Heavenly Dao masters died so miserably, the entire'Ten Thousand Sword Villa', which was established for hundreds of years, was razed to the ground. Aren't these all caused by the mistakes of'Yingtian Pavilion'! Take a look at the Wei Taishi family supported by'Yingtian Pavilion'. It is almost indignant to all the narrowly defined people. In this way, you have to follow the'Yingtian Pavilion', isn't that sick!

Therefore, everyone began to wait and see the final successes or failures of'Yingtian Pavilion' and'Adverse Heaven Sect'. Dongfang Hong eliminated the wings of'Yingtian Pavilion' in the courts and lakes by destroying Wei Taishi indirectly. Relying on their own real strength to compete.

The hardest hit this time was Li Jing. A master of Heaven died, and he vomited blood, who almost didn't feel distressed. Then Taishi Wei led his troops to force the palace without permission, but failed completely. Even the martial arts colleagues were involved. This incident directly led to the ruin of the forces that'Yingtian Pavilion' had cultivated in the'Qi State' for decades, and there was not even a bit of dregs left. Li Jing was angry at the time and spurted blood.

Li Jing vomited blood, but some people were proud of it. After a few days, everything was almost stable, the emperor began to make a great vassal, this Dongfanghong family is naturally the most beautiful.

Dongfang Lunde had merit in escorting the King Qin. In addition to his position as "Shangbu of the Ministry of War", the title of "Prince Taifu" and first-class "loyalty and justice" was added. Because Dongfanghong saw through Wei Taishi’s treacherous tricks and made great contributions to helping the emperor capture and rebel against the party, Dongfanghong was promoted from the original'Shenwuwei' deputy to the commander of the imperial city's'Guardian Army', and also named the'Prince Taibao' First-class'Zhongyonghou'. Promoted from the fourth rank to the second rank. Not only Dongfanghong was promoted to the commander of the Imperial Guard, but his "Shen Wuwei" was also incorporated into the Imperial Guard. The two coaches, Shan Xiongxin and Xiong Kuohai, were also promoted to deputy commanders of the Imperial Guard. Who would let the Imperial Guard? The generals were all killed by Wei Chenghu. Even Dongfanghong's eldest brother, Dongfang Zhichen, was promoted from a small'libu servant' to the third-rank high official of the'libu servant.

Naturally, the awards of the other officials will not be less. In order to fully win the hearts of the people and pave the way for his next plan, Zheng Yuan is also very generous this time. Most of the benefits are distributed to others. Even Li Yuan won a first-class'loyalty'. The title of Li Shimin, and Li Shimin obtained the benefits of reorganizing the five guards'Wei Wei'.

There are a lot of joys and sorrows in the whole country. When everyone is thinking about a better future, Dongfanghong's second step plan for Zheng Yuan has quietly begun. A nationwide shock, an uproar between the ruling and the public, and a major reform of the "scientific examination" system that will affect future generations, is about to make its grand debut on the "Zhulang Literature Net"!

But when this profound change broke out, our protagonist, Dongfanghong, was on his way away from the capital of Qi State. As Zheng Yuan said, at this critical moment, the'Yingtian Pavilion' must not be allowed to make trouble. So a peace talk team sent by the Qi State went to Chen Guo. The leader of this negotiating team was Li Yuan, and Li Shimin led the Three Thousand Guards as its escort. As the final request, Zheng Yuan asked Li Jing to serve as an advisor to the mission. Dongfanghong became the supervising army sent by the emperor to these people, and he made no secret of it.

Zheng Yuan arranged such a mission so that Li Jing and Li Yuan and his sons could naturally see the problem, but they still went there happily. This is not a choice that Li Jing and others were forced to make, but they are confident that the personnel arranged in the capital can cope with all changes, and they can't think of anything unexpected that Zheng Yuan can do. It is really excessive. Regarding the matter, Li Jing and the others do not need to come forward, and the Manchu civil and military will not ignore it, so Li Jing and other talents will go out with peace of mind.

Li Jing and Li Yuan's father and son's mission to'Chen Guo' this time was not just for signing the'Peace Treaty', but for a series of shocking conspiracies, this was the motivation for them to go to'Chen Guo'. As long as the plan is successful, the loss in the early part of the "Yingtian Pavilion" is nothing. Even the entire "Chen Guo" may fall into the hands of the Li family. Such a strong temptation makes this trip to the "Chen Guo" full of excitement. And thrilling.
