Even the traffickers in the streets and the famous prostitutes in the brothels on the Qinhuai River already knew that the Holy Emperor was assassinated in Yangzhou and was blown up by gunpowder.

Therefore, the new emperor's accession to the throne is already a certainty.

The only suspense is whether to take advantage of the situation and support King Yong who oversees the country as the new emperor, or to rush the prince from Xuzhou to Nanjing to become the emperor?

According to the ancestral instructions of Emperor Taizu Gao, there is no doubt that he should be crown prince.

Because the prince was the direct descendant of the late Queen Zhou, and was the eldest son of the late emperor, he was undoubtedly the first in line to succeed the throne. Although King Yong was the supervisor of the country, he was even ranked behind King Ding in terms of order.

But everyone knows that this time things are by no means as simple as imagined.

Lu Zhenfei walked into the hall and scanned around, and found that Meng Zhaoxiang, Wu Linzheng, Wu Ganlai and Chen Liangmo who were looking for Jin Xuan were not there, so he turned around and cast a helpless look at Shi Kefa.

Shi Kefa was originally planning to invite King Yong to start the court meeting.

Seeing this, I can only wait patiently.

Fortunately, not long after waiting, they saw Meng Zhaoxiang and four others running in with sweating profusely.

At this time, Meng Zhaoxiang and others did not care about the dignity of the civil servants, and ran straight to Shi Kefa and Lu Zhenfei.

"I have met two pavilion elders." Meng Zhaoxiang and the four of them bowed their hands.

"No need." Shi Kefa waved his hand and asked, "Where is Jinfu Terrace?"

"Oh, let's forget about it." Wu Linzheng sighed and said in a low voice, "Early this morning, Jinfutai was tricked by Wang You, who was in charge of the Admiral Jiang's Office, and went to the Admiral's Office, and then was placed under house arrest."

"Ah? Such a thing happened?" Shi Kefa and Lu Zhenfei's expressions changed greatly.

Without Kim Hyun's support this time, the variables would immediately increase.

Because there are currently three important military forces stationed in Nanjing.

The first branch is the Beijing Camp, with a total of 20,000 soldiers. However, because they are guard soldiers, they lack training and are severely lacking in weapons and armor, so their combat effectiveness is low.

The admiral of the capital camp was originally Han Zanzhou.

After Han Zan and Zhou Fu were executed, Zuo Guangxian, the imperial censor of Zuo Qian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, served concurrently as the admiral of the capital camp.

The reason why Gao Hongtu wanted to promote Yuan Pengnian as the censor of Zuo Qiandu was because he felt that Yuan Pengnian had strong execution ability and was more suitable to be the admiral of the capital camp than Zuo Guangxian.

However, in addition to the admiral, the capital camp also has a governor.

Since the Ming Dynasty, the governor of Beijing has been led by Wei Guogong.

Then, in addition to the Beijing camp, there were also 4,000 pacesetters from Admiral Caojiang's office and 3,000 cavalry brought to Nanjing by Yingtian Governor Jin Xuan from Xuzhou. Although these two armies were small in strength, they could be regarded as elite.

Especially the three thousand cavalrymen of Jin Xuan, whose soldiers were all servants of the general of the border town and the deputy general. They had fought many battles with Jiannu, so they were experienced in hundreds of battles.

Shi Kefa, Lu Zhenfei and Meng Zhaoxiang originally thought that as long as there were three thousand cavalrymen like Jin Xuan, plus Jin Xuan also served as Admiral Cao Jiang, they would be equivalent to having seven thousand of the most elite soldiers. In this case, two

It's not a big problem that the Wanjing camp soldiers defected to the Donglin Party, because if there were to be a fight, they would be sure to win.

However, the plan did not change quickly, and I never expected that this incident would happen.

Jin Xuan was actually lured to Admiral Caojiang's office by his guerrillas and put under house arrest. Not only did the four thousand soldiers in Admiral Caojiang's office lose control, but also the three thousand cavalry could not be mobilized.

"The situation is urgent, so we can only directly dispatch three thousand cavalry to Beijing to maintain the court situation!"

Shi Kefa is still somewhat decisive and knows that he cannot be soft-hearted at this time.

"No." Lu Zhenfei sighed, "Three thousand cavalry can only be mobilized by Jin Xuan himself and the king's order flag. If Jin Xuan is not there or there is no king's order flag, even Mr. Shi Ge can't mobilize the three thousand cavalry."

."

"What should we do?" Even Shi Kefa had no idea at this time.
