Li Cheng and the man in black left the third prince's mansion together, and then took a token and drove all the way to the Forbidden Army Camp, which is under the emperor's rule.
In the Great Ye Dynasty, the imperial guards were divided into two branches, each with twenty-four guards, and one guard with five hundred soldiers.
The Forbidden Army on the left guards the safety of the palace, and the Forbidden Army on the Right, together with the Gyeonggi Patrol Battalion, respectively control the safety of the entire capital.
Something happened in the palace, the Left Forbidden Army fell, and now we can only count on the Right Forbidden Army.
However, the emperor's jurisdiction over the Forbidden Army Camp Zhili has always only obeyed the orders of the emperor alone.
Li Chengze was not very sure, so he could only give it a try.
The carriage was fast, and the two soon arrived at the Forbidden Army Camp.
The Forbidden Barracks is heavily guarded, and no one else is allowed to enter.
Just wait for the token of the Third Prince's Mansion to be taken out, and the gatekeeper will report back inside.
It took a while to let them in.
The two asked to see the leader of the Forbidden Army, and after waiting for about a stick of incense, the leader of the Right Forbidden Army appeared.
Wearing an imperial uniform.
Li Cheng didn't gossip too much, and stated the purpose of coming here.
Straight to the point, he told all the things in the palace and some of his speculations, and then begged him to bring the army into the palace.
"It's just your one-sided words. I have always acted on the basis of holy decrees. If not, wouldn't the Forbidden Army camp be in chaos long ago?" The leader of the Right Forbidden Army snorted and said calmly.
The Right Forbidden Army directly refused.
The reason is also obvious. First, they did not see the emperor's hand amulet. The imperial guards always act only when they see the sage's hand amulet. It was said that it was the emperor's will to close the gate of the second palace, so they led troops to break in. Is this a rebellion
So, how could the leader of the forbidden army agree.
Even when someone stood up directly to see off the guests, the two said "Please!" mercilessly.
The man in black has a short temper and is about to explode, and he is about to attack.
But Li Cheng raised his hand to block him.
Then he looked at the Forbidden Army on the right, and said: "Your Excellency, you can't be too cautious. If you don't see the emperor's warrant or password and don't act, don't you worry that the Holy One is really in danger? Are you afraid that the palace is really in chaos? You've thought about it a long time ago, but you just don't want to pay some risks for this little guess?"
"You are so brave!"
The leader of the Imperial Army looked serious and silent, and even pulled the saber from his waist all of a sudden.
Under the light, the shining blade flashed a silver-white light.
Li Chengze was not afraid at all, "Are you wrong? Your Majesty, there is a 1 in 10,000 chance of being in danger. You may belong to the leader of the Right Guards, so it is your duty to lead the troops to rescue you."
In fact, Li Cheng didn't say anything.
The leader of the Imperial Army is not a fool, he is in charge of the security of the capital, it is impossible for him not to know what happened on the street today, but he did not act when he knew, pretending not to know. There was probably only one reason, he knew in his heart that the situation in the palace was not good, but he didn't want to involve the imperial army in the incident of seizing the succession, so he turned a blind eye and pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Anyway, no matter which prince ascended the throne as emperor in the end, it didn't make any difference to their guard camp, because they never had to stand in line and were only governed by the emperor alone.
Li Cheng is so smart. He has guessed all kinds of possibilities from the very beginning when he talked to the other party.
The person who can be the leader of the forbidden army will naturally not be a reckless man. It can even be said that this gentleman with the forbidden army has deep plans.
From his point of view and his consideration for entering the barracks, it cannot be said that he was wrong.
After all, people are animals that seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. They naturally think when doing things, and then they tend to act on the side that is beneficial to themselves.
Many reasons are unconsciously making the other party choose to stand still.
Li Cheng looked deeply at the leader of the Right Guards.
The other party also squinted at him.
This is a contest between smart people, and everything goes without saying.
But Li Cheng was still not sure whether he could successfully "force" the leader of the Forbidden Right to accept his suggestion, and rushed into the palace under the slogan of killing rebels.
For the sake of himself and the Li family, Li Cheng did not allow this persuasion to fail.
So he simply let go and said: "Since your lord is the leader of the imperial guards, you should think of everything for the sake of the sage. Once the emperor and the courtiers, although your lord is currently in the prime of life, once the eldest prince succeeds, the eldest prince Do you think you can still sit in this position safely? And even if the third prince or the prince succeeds to the throne, do you think they would dare to use you because of your behavior of pretending to be deaf and dumb today?"
The right guard stared at his face for a long time, then suddenly burst into laughter, and then said in a deep voice: "Young Master Li is unparalleled in intelligence, I admire you!"
Li Cheng was unmoved, neither panic nor guilty, he just raised his eyebrows lightly.
…
Things happen quickly.
When the leader of the Imperial Army on the right held something like a black token in his hand.
Riding a tall horse, wearing armor, with a long knife around his waist, and leading ten guards and five thousand elite soldiers behind him.
Shouted loudly: "Quickly open the gate of the palace! We enter the palace by the order of the emperor!"
The people behind the North Palace Gate panicked when they saw people holding tokens and leading elite soldiers.
They are playing the banner of the emperor to close the gate of the palace, and now the right guard is coming, how can they stop it? So he could only hastily let people enter the inner palace to inform people.
Seeing this scene, the Right Imperial Guard knew that Li Chengze had guessed correctly, and had a decision in his heart, so he quickly gave an order to break through the north gate, leading the soldiers to rush in directly.
For a while, exclamations and screams could be heard from everywhere.
…
A battle against counter-insurgency starts quickly and subsides even faster.
The eldest prince is nothing more than taking advantage of being first and cooperating with others.
After the imperial army rushed in, Cheng Tong Guo Gongfu sent about two thousand soldiers from the Gyeonggi Patrol Battalion to confront him.
The leader of the Right Forbidden Army and the commander of the Gyeonggi Patrol Battalion have always been at odds with each other, and they also fake smiles when they meet, but they didn't expect that Cheng Guogong's mansion would vote for the eldest prince.
The leader of the Forbidden Army on the right smiled coldly and killed him with a long knife.
The elite soldiers of the imperial guards are not vegetarians. Although the soldiers of the Gyeonggi Patrol Battalion are not bad, their numbers are less than half, and they are naturally defeated in the end.
It only takes one night and one day for a palace change to end.
The traitor finally bowed his head and captured him.
Although the rebellion was eliminated, the emperor's body was still helpless, and it was at the end of its strength.
While still able to speak, the emperor announced that the third prince would be the crown prince in front of the clan and ministers.
The dust settled.
Li Cheng and Lord Gu went out of the palace together. Lord Hou experienced a thrilling night. He didn't exhale until he left the palace gate, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand.
Li Cheng said a few words to the man, then helped him into the carriage, watched the carriage leave, and then turned around and got into his own carriage.
—
The eldest prince should be punished for the crime of conspiring against and killing the king. The emperor benevolently spared the life of the eldest prince, demoted him to be a commoner, and imprisoned him forever. A thousand people from the eldest prince's mansion waited for men and exiled women to fill the teaching workshop.
The government of Chengguo sentenced the family to ransack the house.
Due to the serious illness of the emperor, the crown prince supervised the country and performed the affairs of the monarch on his behalf.
After a sensational period of time, the matter finally came to an end.
The First Prince's Mansion has been sealed with a seal,
Everyone in the Duke's Mansion of Cheng was beheaded. The formerly splendid and extremely wealthy Duke's Mansion collapsed suddenly, and the inside was ransacked clean, torn and damaged.
It's not easy to discuss it openly outside, but no one talks about it in private.
Princes and princes, in the eyes of ordinary people, are the nobles among the nobles.
Such a proud son of heaven can end so tragically, how can it make people sigh, and there is emotion in his heart, mixed with some fear and fear.
The case of beheading at the gate of the vegetable market that day made people terrified and terrified.
Gu Qingci didn't feel much about the eldest prince being imprisoned. He thought that he asked for it. If he hadn't rebelled, he would never have come to this point. It's a bit pitiful for those family members, but who told them that they were the elders? As for the people in the Prince's Mansion, it was easy to enjoy the wealth and honor at the beginning, but now they naturally have to pay the price.
On the bright side, after all, they still have a life left.
On the contrary, Cheng Guogong's mansion collapsed suddenly, and the fact that the whole mansion was executed made Gu Qingci feel even more deeply.
Except for a few married women, no one escaped, including infants.
Jiang Yun, on the other hand, was not implicated because she was a cousin who lived in Duke Cheng's mansion. She was taken away at the same time at the beginning of the year, but after the investigation was clear, she was released again.
However, without the protection of the Duke's Mansion, Jiang Yun is nothing.
The Jiang family was originally a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River, but gradually became lonely. Jiang Yun's mother died early, and within a year his father remarried his stepmother. Because he was afraid that the new wife of the Jiang family would treat Jiang Yun harshly, the old lady of Cheng Guogong sent a letter and took her granddaughter into the family.
Now that the married family is gone, Jiang Yun can only go back to the Jiang family.
But what happened to the family can't be concealed, and it will be spread back soon. Then how can they have a good face towards Jiang Yun, I'm afraid it's too late to ridicule her.
Jiang Yun's face was pale, and after being sent out by the soldiers, she stood in front of Duke Cheng's mansion and looked at it for a long time with indifference.
After a long time, he turned and left.
Gu Qingci originally wanted to see the beheading, but was stopped by Li Chengze in time.
I'm not afraid to go back to have nightmares at night, and it's a lot of trouble again.
Such a cruel and bloody thing is simply not suitable to join in the fun and watch.
Not good for physical and mental health.
Gu Qingci muttered, "That Cheng Yueying is lucky, she got married last winter, she was lucky enough to survive."
Li Cheng didn't speak.
But I also want to know that not long after they got married, their natal family committed the crime of treason and were all beheaded.
That is to say, the married girl has no support from her natal family to rely on. For such a daughter-in-law who is holding back her natal family and making trouble, even if her husband's family divorces her immediately, no one will come out to help Cheng Yueying.
This is the most depressing place.
Fortunately, he recovered his life, but he didn't know that the hard life had just begun.
Li Cheng had no intention of indulging Gu Qingci's character of watching the crowds and gloating.
So I took this opportunity to say a few more words to her, "People should cultivate themselves and be self-restraining. When others are prosperous and prosperous, they should be calm and calm. When others are in trouble, they should not gloat and add trouble. If things go on like this, it is easy to change their temperament."
Gu Qingci was angry and said, "Cheng Yueying also laughed at me back then."
Li Cheng scolded her for being a silly girl, but he didn't let go of a word, forbidding her to entertain herself by seeing other people's misery as she wished.
