Tian Yu, who fell to the ground, still had a look of disbelief on his face. Shen Chun had been in the palace for many years and had benefited from him so much that he suddenly attacked him like this.
But Shen Chun didn't even look at him, turned around and left. The friendship of the past is the friendship of the past, and he can't control or help this time. He had gained a lot of benefits before, and now he won't be soft when it's time to kill him.
If it weren't for the instructions from above that he couldn't kill Shang Jianxiong for the time being, he would have killed Shang Jianxiong as well and let some shady things disappear together.
Shang Jianxiong was stunned in place, looking at Tian Yu who was twitching on the ground. It was over. When he saw that Shen Chun had directly killed Tian Yu, he knew that it was really over this time...
There was no court in the morning. The officials did not enter the court again this morning. Instead, they went straight to their own government offices and sat in command. They followed Gao Jiancheng's arrangements and kept an eye on everything. If they found any abnormalities, they would press the button immediately. Never let anyone with ulterior motives take the opportunity to cause trouble, otherwise Don't blame him for turning against him.
Most of the people in the capital had no idea what was going on. They only knew that the closed city gates had not been opened, there were very few soldiers, and the daily impact on the city seemed to be small.
Most of the people behind those wealthy families are court officials who are well-informed. Even if they don't know what happened, they have been reminded by the people behind them to be honest. As a result, all the generosity in daily life suddenly became low-key, and most of the children were restrained and not allowed to go out.
Another day later, the city gate finally opened, and a dusty army arrived. The nearby troops transferred from Zijin Cave arrived and entered the city. They directly deployed heavy troops to take over the defense of the capital. And broke into Miyagi and took over control.
As soon as his troops arrived, Gao Jiancheng and others immediately let go and started cleaning.
All wealthy families with Shang Jianxiong's background were in a panic. Teams of people broke in, ransacked their homes, arrested people, and killed people without trial!
All the princes and princes who opened their houses outside the palace were arrested together with their family members, and their immediate family members were directly sent to the palace under house arrest. The rest, anyone suspected of having the ability to cause trouble, would be killed without mercy!
The same was true in the palace. Most of the eunuchs and maids were purged, and there were endless cries in the palace.
It is usually impossible for someone to steal the palace treasure house, but this time it was not a theft, but a blatant taking. Shang Yongzhong personally led the people to smash and break it open. There was no other way. Shang Jianxiong would rather die than open the treasure house, so they had to break it open by force.
It's not that he covets the treasures in the treasure house, but he wants to get the country's sacred weapon in the treasure house!
Shang Yongzhong, who had not had a good rest for two days and two nights, was already red-eyed. He had already made an agreement with Gao Jicheng to give the artifact to the Shang Chaozong in person!
"Da Sikong, my daughter is still serving His Majesty in the palace. I wonder if she can be allowed to leave the palace and go home?"
Several court officials came to Gao Mansion and found Gao Jiancheng. They all had daughters who were sent to the palace to be Shang Jianxiong's concubine. They were sent to the palace for their own family. At this time, they couldn't ignore it, so they came to plead for mercy. .
Gao Jiancheng, who was sitting behind the case, stroked his beard and said: "My lords, don't worry, don't worry, and be patient for the time being. Everything will be fine. Those who should go home later can go home. But not now, we will deal with it when the situation is stable." Is this a good thing? You should know that in this situation, if there is someone in the palace who goes out to collude and is suspected of repeating it for His Majesty, it will not be good for everyone, right? "
"Yes, yes, Da Si is still too thoughtful." Several adults said yes in succession.
Gao Jiancheng sighed: "I have some ugly things to say in front of you. If your Majesty's daughter is your only one, I'm afraid she won't be able to leave the palace. Also, if you have children for your Majesty, it's best to stay in the palace with him." Your Majesty, otherwise Prince Yong might think too much, and it’s for everyone’s own good, don’t you think so?”
"The Chief's empty words make sense." Several adults were obedient.
At this time, the four teams who were transferred out of the capital and went to various places also discovered that something was wrong. In addition, there were people loyal to Shang Jianxiong in the Intelligence Department and the military intelligence system. They openly accepted the control, but privately passed it on to the four teams. After hearing the news, I urgently asked King Qin to return to Beijing.
However, Shang Yongzhong had already replaced the commander-in-chief of the Fourth Army and others under false orders. The newly appointed commander was very hesitant about whether to go back to rescue Shang Jianxiong. He was somewhat worried that once Shang Jianxiong escaped from danger, would he suspect them of participating in the rebellion
However, Shang Jianxiong managed these four troops very well. After the news of Shang Jianxiong's distress was completely exposed, the newly appointed general and others were unable to suppress the army.
Fortunately, these four troops were transferred out in time. The transfer was so urgent that everyone had no supplies except the rations they carried with them.
What Shang Yongzhong said about having supplies ahead didn't exist at all. How could he go back without food
As for the directions in which the four groups were going, the troops from the Zijin Cave, Xiaoyao Palace and Lingjian Mountain factions had already responded immediately. They rushed in to block and intercept the four groups.
Without food and grass supplies, the four hungry troops could only face reality and were eventually disarmed and controlled.
After taking control, another bloody purge was launched against a group of Shang Jianxiong's diehard elements.
After the cleaning, the people and horses were divided and dispersed. It can be said that they were annexed by the people and horses who came.
This was a long-planned and carefully planned coup.
After the immediate cronies of Shang Jianxiong were eliminated, the overall situation was decided. The imperial court of Yan State publicly issued an edict in the name of Emperor Yan Shang Jianxiong. Shang Chaozong took charge of the military and political affairs of Yan State and became the regent!
There was not much movement in various parts of Yan State, just a slight commotion. There was also a slight purge in various places, and all the supervisory troops and the like that Shang Jianxiong had previously stationed in various places were cleared away.
At the same time, in order to pave the way for the Shang Dynasty, and to cover up the legitimacy of their coup, all the people in the dynasty openly spread rumors, saying that Shang Jianxiong's scandal of murdering King Ning broke out, and the reason why King Ning was killed was because of his early years. The throne was actually passed to King Ning, and was secretly obtained by Shang Jianxiong.
To put it another way, after King Ning, Shang Chaozong was the legitimate emperor of Yan.
This group of people in the court played this trick very well. Not only did they ignore Shang Jianxiong, but they also tried their best to throw dirty water...
The group of people galloped and finally arrived outside Nanzhou City. The leader, Shang Yongzhong, had a rough road and was a bit shabby.
He stopped his horse outside the city and looked up at the eye-catching city name on the city gate. He finally arrived, and his heart was full of nervousness and apprehension...
Not long after the people in the newly renovated palace moved back, distinguished guests came to visit.
Shang Yongzhong, who hurriedly came to the main hall, saw Shang Chaozong standing in the hall. Without saying a word, he quickly knelt in front of him and started sobbing. He seemed to be too excited to speak.
At this time, Shang Yongzhong's head and face were covered with dust, and his eyes were frighteningly bloodshot. He was also shirtless, carrying a thorn stick on his back, and there were a lot of blood stains on his back, which was obviously a sign of apology.
Shang Chaozong looked at each other with Meng Shanming and Lan Ruoting on his left and right, and found that this great Sima could really do it.
Shang Yongzhong knelt down and sobbed, and opened the long box he had brought. Inside, there was a bronze metal staff and an imperial edict. He held the box over his head with both hands and presented it as a gift, wailing loudly: "Your Majesty has decreed the regent, and there is also a suppressor." The guilty minister also brought the sacred weapon of the Kingdom, the Immortal Immortal Staff. The guilty minister was deceived by Your Majesty and deserves to die, so he came here to beg for mercy!"
The three of them looked at each other again. Naturally, the three of them knew clearly what happened in the capital. They knew that this person had tried his best this time.
Of course, I also know that the decree to establish the regent was sent by this person.
In fact, there were many people who wanted to give something away, but in the end, the one in front of them got it, and the three of them knew that Gao Jiancheng had tacitly approved it.
Gao Jiancheng's move had a profound meaning. He intended to let Shang Yongzhong take this support in order to avoid Shang Yongzhong's disaster.
The intention is also interpreted here. If even Shang Yongzhong can be spared, others can relax and rejoice.
As for Gao Jiancheng himself, he has nothing to worry about, and there is no need to take the credit, because Gao Jiancheng knows who is behind him, and with that person around, Shang Chaozong does not dare to embarrass him. And Gao Jicheng still has to sit in the capital to control the situation.
After Zonglue of the Shang Dynasty fell silent, he stepped forward in person and helped Shang Yongzhong up with both hands, "Uncle, there is no need for this, the past has passed, and it is excusable. I promise, the emperor will still be the great Sima of the Yan Kingdom! "
Meng Shanming watched silently, sighing secretly in his heart. The prince before had changed... but now he could not express his emotions or anger. The prince was no longer the prince before.
Shang Yongzhong, who had just gotten up, struggled to kneel down after hearing the words, kowtowed and cried in thanks. With these words, a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and his hard performance was not in vain.
As soon as his heartstrings relaxed, he couldn't hold it anymore. His vision went dark and he fainted on the spot.
"Uncle Emperor!" Shang Chaozong and others were shocked and quickly called the monks to check.
Shang Yongzhong, a confidant who was following him, wiped his tears and said, "My prince hasn't had a good sleep for the past seven or eight days, and he rushed all the way to Nanzhou non-stop. I'm afraid he collapsed from exhaustion."
After inspection by the monk, it was found that it was indeed the case, and he really collapsed from exhaustion.
Shang Chaozong and others secretly sighed. They found that this man really worked hard to protect himself, and immediately ordered people to carry him down and take care of him.
Shang Yongzhong slept so soundly that it was dark and dark.
After the scene calmed down, Shang Chaozong took a look at the sacred artifact of the country, and then picked up the decree and opened it to check. He was filled with emotions. Sitting at home and doing nothing, the power of the Yan Kingdom fell from the sky to his own. On the body.
Naturally, he knows whose credit this is.
Meng Shanming and Lan Ruoting then took the things to check, and were filled with sighs after seeing them. The Taoist master was indeed extraordinary. He said that the world of Yan Kingdom belonged to the prince, and it came true. He took it and gave it away.
"Come here!" Shang Chaozong summoned a general and handed over the decree. "Send the imperial decree to the military camp to be read out and announced to the entire army!" This was to boost the morale of the army.
"Yes!" The general took the order, held the decree in his hands and left.
In the palace's inner palace, the aunt and sister-in-law were checking together and giving advice to the servants on how to decorate their new home.
A maid came excitedly and shouted, "Princess, Princess, I'm so happy, so happy!"
Feng Ruonan turned around and shouted, "If you don't have a formal appearance, how can you be decent and happy?"
The maid's face was full of smiles and she was dancing with excitement, "Princess, Princess, the imperial court has issued an order, the imperial court has issued an order. Your Majesty claims to be ill, and the imperial court has issued an order to appoint the prince as the Regent of Dayan to take charge of the military and political affairs of Dayan!"
