Chapter 433 Seizing Power

Before Zhu Changluo could mobilize the Shuofang army to the north, he had already asked Wei Zhongxian to send people to Shaanxi, so in mid-July, Gao Jin received the so-called secret decree of the prince in Shenmu County.

On July 14th, Gao Jin, who rushed to Camel City, summoned many generals and gates of Camel City at the General Office, and presented the so-called secret edict of the prince. In the past year, he seized all the military power under Yansui Town, and most of the benefits of Shaanxi coal and foreign business were swallowed up by him.

Gao Jin did not use his strength to these generals, but there were a lot more children of the generals in Shuofang Army. Now 70% or 80% of the heads of these generals have made up their minds to follow him.

After reading the secret decree, these generals and family leaders were ready to go and excited. This was a skill of the dragon. Although there was some risk, as long as the prince ascended the throne, the benefits would naturally not be missing.

Gao Jin and Du Wenhuan sat together. Looking at the expressions of the heads of the generals below, Gao Jin knew that these martial artists were thinking too simple. The Ming Dynasty's literary and nobles were inferior. He went to the capital to prevent Emperor Wanli from making crazy moves before his death, so as not to ruin his arrangements.

"Everyone, although this mastery of the Dragon is good, it is not so easy to get. Think about it, even if we help the prince ascend to the throne, in the eyes of all officials in the capital, I, Gao Jin, are probably Dong Zhuo. You are all the martial artists of Xiliang, and it will be fine if you don't cut off our heads."

Gao Jin poured cold water on the cheerful head of the sect, and then said to himself, "But I have received the favor of the prince and have to go. Whoever you want to follow me north is voluntary."

After the General's Mansion dispersed, most of the heads of the generals were unwilling to give up this opportunity and planned to take the cavalryman from his family to follow Gao Jin. They thought it was simple. Anyway, the court went to the capital in the name of transferring them to the north to aid Liao. If something really happened, Gao Jin would go to the top.

"Xiao Gao, since the prince has transferred you north, why bother to cause trouble?"

In the general's mansion, after the building was empty, Du Wenhuan and Gao Jin started drinking in the backyard. Du Wenhuan, who was originally a young man, was already gray at this time. He was very puzzled. Why did Gao Jin spread the secret edict of the prince? With the strength of the Shuofang Army, there was no need for the generals of the Camel City to get involved.

"Uncle Shi, this Yansui Town is my foundation. I will show them the secret edict of the prince to them, so that they can go to the capital and learn about the faces of all officials and the virtues of the court, so that they will not be in the same way as me in the future."

Gao Jin replied, "He has a disobedient heart, and it is not a secret in the eyes of the generals and heads of the Turtle City. Everyone pretends to be confused because they understand it."

"You have the intention."

Du Wenhuan laughed. He had already seen that Gao Jin wanted to rebel. However, now that his son died for the court, he had to pretend to be a tomb for the funeral. He would only help Gao Jin cover up. Moreover, in his eyes, Gao Jin's possibility of rebellion was very high. He was much smarter and more capable than a fool like Yang Yinglong. The Shuofang Army was not only strong, but also the Shuofang Chamber of Commerce, which was rich enough to rival the country. If it were ordinary people, they would probably have been impatient to rebel, but Gao Jin could still bear it and accumulate wealth and food.

"It's just a matter of convenience. Although these generals are useless to me, they can be of great use if they are used well."

Gao Jin replied honestly that with the strength he has in his hands, the generals in Camel City are not enough for him to hit with one hand, but he cannot rely solely on the old team under his command to conquer the world. He still has to use these people as pawns as cannon fodder, so he has to give them an illusion that they will think they are his followers in the future.

Gao Jin stayed in the General's Mansion for only two days. On the third day, with Zhonglei Camp and Baimaqi reaching Camel City, he naturally led dozens of generals who came to the capital and headed towards the capital in a mighty manner. The other 20,000 elite soldiers drawn from the 35th Battalion Fort set out afterwards under the leadership of Zhang Jian.

...

At the end of July, in the capital, with the news that the emperor often fainted and could not be in charge of the officials, people gradually became uneasy.

Wei Zhongxian's position as the eunuch in charge of the seal was also lost, and the Wei Dynasty, who had a rift with him, was replaced by the eunuch in charge of the seal was also in the hands of Eunuch Ding in Concubine Zheng's palace.

All the words he said in the Prince's Study that day were fulfilled, which made Zhu Changluo feel anxious all day long. Without the troops in the Imperial Horse Supervisor, the prince was powerless to resist. He could even think that when King Fu entered the capital, his father would depose his position as the prince.

At this time, the officials Zhu Changluo, who should have relied on, had no choice but to do anything. Even if some of them smelled the danger, the emperor replaced the eunuch in the Sili Supervisor's Male Supervisor, and what could they do? The emperor did not touch the prince.

Zhu Changluo, who was originally rich, lost a lot of weight in just half a month, and even was nervous. At present, all his hopes were on Gao Jin, because after delaying for more than half a month, the court finally issued an order to mobilize the Shuofang army to the north to aid Liao.

"Your Highness, it's time to drink ginseng soup!"

"No drink, let me get out."

Zhu Changluo looked at the maid who came in with the ginseng soup and cursed with a ferocious expression, "Didn't it all be said, let me get out of here?"

"Your Highness, Your Highness, it's Eunuch Wei who is here."

Hearing the voice of his own eunuch, Zhu Changluo's head raised, and then he forced himself to resist the manic in his heart and said in a deep voice, "Call him in."

Wei Zhongxian came in tremblingly. Since he lost the position of eunuch in the Imperial Horse Prison, although the prince did not say anything, he never gave him a good face and even took his anger on him. This also made Wei Zhongxian feel the danger of being with the king as if he was with a tiger.

"Your Highness, good news, Protector Gao can arrive at the capital in up to three days."

Although Wei Zhongxian was dismissed from the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison, he still had a connection with Gao Jin, which is why he continued to enter and exit the Eastern Palace.

"Really, Gao Duo has finally arrived."

Zhu Changluo's originally gloomy face finally changed. He was overjoyed and grabbed Wei Zhongxian. As long as Shuofang Army arrived, he could... Thinking of his father in the palace, his eyes became ruthless, and then he asked in detail, "Gao Dupu, who came here along the way, has any news leaked!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the court has been summoning officers and soldiers from all sides to serve in Liaodong. Gao Duduo fought against Xuanda Shanxi and other towns along the way and sent the titles of officers and soldiers to Beijing. Although there were suspicions from the inspectors, they were all clean. Gao Duduo even asked his servants to apologize to Your Highness!"

"What crime does Gaodu have for his crime? He does extraordinary things at extraordinary times!"

Zhu Changluo said with a ferocious expression, and then he looked at Wei Zhongxian in front of him and said, "Since Gao Dupu has arrived, Wei Pei, Gu can't wait any longer. Gu wants you to immediately take the troops from the Imperial Horse Prison and escort Gu into the palace to serve his father."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Wei Zhongxian knelt down on the ground and kowtowed, saying, after suffering for so many days, he finally waited for this opportunity to turn the tables. Since he was taken away from the position of eunuch in the Imperial Horse Prison, he also tasted what it means to be a real man who cannot be powerless for a day.

Zhu Changluo finally made a desperate bet on the gambling table. During this period, as Wang An and Wei Zhongxian lost power one after another, he already understood that his father really wanted to depose his position as the crown prince, and he would just wait for his "sudden death" to pass the throne to King Fu. Now the Ming Dynasty is in turmoil and Liaodong is in danger. All officials can't say that they can't accept it.

After Wei Zhongxian left the Eastern Palace, he immediately summoned Shan Ying and others. Although the emperor was just his and his godfather, his business in the East Factory in the past two years was not eliminated in just ten days.

"The Jinyiwei can summon about 300 good players. As long as the father-in-law takes down the Imperial Horse Prison and escorts the prince into the palace, the Jinyiwei will escort the guards."

Shan Ying said that because the emperor was negligent, the commander of the Jinyiwei was always vacant, and the North and South Pacification Department was seriously short of staff. Now all the backbone of the Jinyiwei in the capital have benefited from his money. It is difficult for these people to rely on them to contribute, but as long as the general trend is on their side, these people will definitely wave their flags and shout and rush to join in.

"The East Factory can mobilize only 200 reliable personnel."

Lu Wenzhao said in a deep voice. After Wei Zhongxian lost the eunuch in the Imperial Horse Prison, he, the newly released Qianhu, naturally deserved to be the first, but the Dongchang man who could fight was originally trained by him in the past two years.

"Okay, you can gather your troops immediately, take down the East Factory first, and then take the troops from the Imperial Horse Supervisor with me, so we will escort the prince into the palace."

Wei Zhongxian said murderously that the Four Guards and Warriors Camp under the Imperial Horse Supervision are imperial guards in the palace. As long as the Imperial Horse Supervision military power is taken down, this major event will be considered as a result.

At night, the Qianhu, the head of the East Factory, who replaced Lu Wenzhao, had already separated from his family and died so much that he could not die again. In front of Grandpa Yue's portrait, he was promoted to the top and the leader of the lower-level characters in the past two years.

"If a great thing is done, the prince will not hesitate to reward you."

As Lu Wenzhao raised his arms and shouted, the men from the East Factory were excited to follow the old boss out of the Nei East Factory and heading straight to the Imperial Horse Supervision.

Half an hour later, outside the palace wall of the Imperial Horse Prison, behind Wei Zhongxian wearing armor and riding horses were Wubai Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi, with several corpses lying at the palace gate.

"Have you met Mr. Wei!"

The tall soldier in armor led his companions to Wei Zhongxian respectfully said that he was from the Four Guards and had received the kindness of Wei Zhongxian. So when Wei Zhongxian advised them to be loyal to the crown prince and kill the traitorous concubine, he directly used a knife to kill his Shangguan and those confidants from behind, and then decisively opened the palace gate of the Imperial Horse Supervision.

With Wei Zhongxian taking the lead in riding the horse, Wubai Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi quickly controlled the important places in the Imperial Horse Supervision, while Wei Zhongxian led Lu Wenzhao to his past residence.

Wei Chao was awakened. He had just become the eunuch in the Imperial Horse Prison. He has been staying in the Imperial Horse Prison every day and has not returned to the palace. He did not expect Wei Zhongxian to dare to rebel.

"Wei Zhongxian, you are so brave. Are you going to rebel?"

Wei Chao was wearing clothes and looking at Minghuo Zhengzhan. Wei Zhongxian, surrounded by Dongchang men, couldn't help but shout with a harsh and cowardly voice.

"Wei Dynasty, it was you traitors who rebeled, who were the traitors of you who falsely passed the imperial edict and wanted to murder the prince. Your incident happened!"

Wei Zhongxian shouted with a righteous voice, and when Wei Chao heard the traitorous concubine, he knew that Wei Zhongxian was trying to turn black and white and pointing to a horse. However, he was about to refute, but Wei Zhongxian looked behind him and said coldly, "Zheng Chao, do you want to be a rebel?"

Before he finished speaking, Wei Chao felt a severe pain in his head, and then his eyes turned black and fell to the ground. The back of his head was directly smashed by a meteor hammer the size of a fist. The young eunuch behind him knelt on the ground and said to Wei Zhongxian, "I hope to follow Eunuch Wei to seek rebellion."

"Get up, beat the drum and gather the generals, send the prince into the palace, and protect the emperor."

Soon, drums echoed in the Black Grass Barracks, and the four guards and warrior camps were in chaos. Then the soldiers and horses of each battalion were noisy and heading to the school grounds of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. After returning from Liaodong, Wei Zhongxian had been tossing the Four Guards and Warrior camps a lot, and counting all over the entire capital. Only the Four Guards and Warrior camps could gather troops in the middle of the night without any chaos.

Nearly half an hour later, the troops and horses of each battalion arrived. Wei Zhongxian looked proud, while Shan Ying and Lu Wenzhao bowed their heads and disdained. In the Shuofang army, they whistled in the middle of the night and gathered their troops. They would not be punished without a meal. The Four Guards and Warriors camps below were completely different from the Shuofang army.

The generals of each battalion watched the torches shining. Wei Zhongxian, dressed in iron armor, held the head of the newly appointed eunuch, the seal of the eunuch, who was in his hand, were all shocked. However, when Wei Zhongxian threw his head to the ground, he took out the seal of the eunuch, the eunuch, and the imperial eunuch, claiming that the gangs of Concubine Zheng in the palace took advantage of the emperor's fainting and falsely passed the imperial eunuch, to seize the sermon of the Li Zheng, the Imperial Horse, and the prince, and planned to usurp the throne, the generals knew that the time was coming to stand.

No one jumped out at this time to check the authenticity of the so-called imperial edict that Wei Zhongxian said to kill the traitorous concubine. In the past two years, Wei Zhongxian has been spending much time in the Four Guards and Warriors camps. The soldiers all knew that Eunuch Wei was a hero with great martial arts and righteous wealth. There were quite a few soldiers and lower-level officers who had received money from Wei Zhongxian.

"I wish to follow Eunuch Wei to seek rebellion."

Those generals were all good-looking, and everyone knew that when the prince asked the eunuch Wei to take down the imperial horses and soldiers, the general situation was decided. As for the truth in the palace, they didn't want to know.

Wei Zhongxian immediately rushed to Xuanwu Gate. The soldiers stationed were originally from the Four Guards. When their generals came forward to scold, the soldiers opened the palace gate.

Under the command of Wei Zhongxian, the Four Guards and Warriors Battalions quickly took over the palace ban, while Lu Wenzhao returned to the East Factory and directed the men to guard the important places such as the Inner Carrier Depot. As for Shan Ying, he led the Jinyiwei to the East Palace to invite the prince.

When Zhu Changluo, who was sitting in the middle of the night, saw Shan Ying, his gloomy and panic showed ecstasy and fearful face, "Your Highness, please enter the palace quickly and serve the emperor to determine the overall situation." Hearing these words, Zhu Changluo stood up and said incoherently, "It's great, Wei Ban did not disappoint Gu."

Zhu Changluo did not hesitate at all, and immediately followed Shan Ying to Qianqing Palace under the escort of the Jinyiwei. On the way, he asked Shan Ying, "Shan Qianhu, what should I do next?"

After being excited, Zhu Changluo's expression became hesitant again when he thought of his father. Shan Ying knew that the prince's indecisiveness had been detrimental again, so he said, "Your Highness must not be careless. After tonight, the capital will be in chaos. It is better to wait for the Gao Guardian to suppress the inside and outside the capital. At that time, your Highness can deal with it calmly."
