Chapter 94
Because Hua Lanting wanted to recover from his injuries, his footwork was slower than usual.
Halfway through the way, he heard the news that Emperor Qingyun had issued an order and soon the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate, held the case of Qingyuan Hou treason, which was concerned by the whole country.
After learning this news, Hua Lanting did not rush to speed up the trip. Such major cases often lasted for a long time. When he arrived in the capital, whether it was a secret visit or a rescue, as long as he met the Hou Qingyuan, he could figure out the whole story.
He always felt that this matter was not simple, with strange inside and outside, and full of fog. Whether Qingyuan Hou really had a rebellious intention or had another hidden truth, the first thing was to reveal the truth.
Hua Lanting has no particularly clear preset position in his mind for the time being.
He was originally an outsider. Whether it was the Hou of Qingyuan, the Chen Dynasty or other forces, it was a game of experience for him, including elements such as family and country relations, family affection, law, and dynasty disputes.
For him, everything has always been right and wrong, and the criteria for judgment vary from person to person and time to time.
Now there is information asymmetry, and it is difficult for him to make a judgment. Once it is clear, it is nothing more than acting based on his original heart. Should we put feelings, friendship, friendship, closeness and distance first, or to put universal principles and laws first, and after weighing the pros and cons, we can always make a charter.
His previous behavior and planning were based on his own personality and intuition, striving to ensure personal safety of a "family" and maintain a stable situation.
As for the future, he will make a decision to analyze the specific situation and adapt to the situation.
After walking for nearly two days, he was about to approach the outskirts of Zhongping City, but Hua Lanting heard an explosive news, which shocked him, who had always been stable.
The plot setting is too abrupt and intense, and it is beyond everyone's expectations. It can be described as a bolt from the blue. This is the rhythm of changing the sky!
Because the versions circulated by different people were different, Hua Lanting immediately accelerated its progress. The closer it was to the suburbs of Beijing, the more complex and diverse the rumors became.
Until the suburbs, the panic atmosphere was already very strong, and many people even began to pretend to flee. Hua Lanting inquired about it and gradually sorted out several core contents and incident contexts.
The first one is to arrest in the middle of the night.
Just the evening before the Third Division officially held a meeting to review Qingyuanhou, the official and the people were waiting to see the next day's good show.
At the third hour of You, the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion suddenly announced martial law throughout the city, and nine outer city gates were allowed to enter and not leave. However, the city and the various battalions of the garrison outside the city were mobilized. People began to think that it was to prevent the riots that might occur during the next day's trial. Although they felt that it was a big deal, they didn't care too much.
Later, the atmosphere began to be inconsistent. Not only were the people banned from going out, but the guards in important places in the capital were also taken over by the army.
The sensitive people had already smelled an abnormality at this time. A few well-informed people had learned that the Shenji Camp outside the city had been deployed into the city, and they worked with the Beijing Guards to search and arrest many officials in the city.
At this time, everyone knew that things were not normal. There were fast-moving soldiers everywhere on the streets, and every household stayed in their doors. For a moment, the city of Zhongping was covered with clouds and the wind was heard, and the people who were taking photos of something big had happened.
At this time, the order on the surface of the city was still calm and orderly, and there were only quarrels and cries in the places where people were arrested.
Secretly, officials from all over the capital were already in a mess. One-third of the officials were locked and imprisoned. Several prison rooms were crowded, and everyone didn't even know what they were doing. Everyone was in danger. After inquiring about each other, they were soon ordered to go home and stand by. After that, they were blocked by soldiers outside their residences and on the streets, and they were strictly prohibited from going out.
This was the situation in the first half of the night, and in the second half of the night, spring rain fell and drizzled. Not only did the storm change suddenly, but the situation in the city suddenly took a sharp turn.
A verdict happened.
The second article is rebellion in the early morning.
In the second half of the night, officials and most of the people who were not affected had already fallen asleep in surprise, but were awakened by the faint shouts of killing.
Subsequently, most of the officials' homes had soldiers stationed in, and officials and their families were gathered together and were not allowed to act without permission, and the whole city even imposed a curfew.
At this time, some places finally resisted, and there were sounds of fighting, especially when there was a fire rushing towards the direction of the palace, and the shouts became louder and louder.
Rain flowed through the ground, mixed with red blood, and bloody smell in the air, and the drizzle was poured on.
Later, fights of different sizes occurred everywhere in Zhongping City. Soldiers who could not distinguish between the camps in the night fought in the rain. Some officials who found that the situation was wrong and the servants of the wealthy families also began to clash with the guards and soldiers.
The capital of the Dust Dynasty became chaotic.
This incident is known as the "change of the world" in later generations.
Article 3: The truth.
When Hua Lanting received the news, more than a day had passed. After the fermentation of time, and people always escaped. In addition, different forces spread through various channels, actively or after analysis and processing, and the internal story of the rebellion has been partially revealed.
Yes, this is a long-planned rebellion. The protagonist is not someone else, but Qingyuan Hou Yueye!
The truth is that in order to regain power and purify the court, Emperor Qingyun made a bitter plan with Hou Yueye of Qingyuan, pretending to discover evidence of Qingyuan's treason, and took him and his party members. By delaying time, all forces have secretly competed, inducing officials loyal to the back party, who were both loyal and loyal to the back party, and who were both inexorable or cross-bordered with Emperor Qingyun, and planned to catch all these people in one place when the net was closed, and then replaced them with the official party members and innocent scholars who were pulled out of the imperial party, so as to achieve the purpose of purge the rear party and consolidate the imperial power, and temporarily shocked the government and the country was in exchange for the situation where Emperor Qingyun monopolizes the power and the long-term stability of the country.
This plan was almost successful. The real man of Qingyuan closed the net as promised in the middle of the night. After years of training, thousands of officers and soldiers of the Shenke Camp suddenly entered the city and jointly led the defense of the Jiumen Admiral's Office, who were responsible for the defense of the capital, arrested people according to the list. After the Later Party was not careful, most of them were arrested.
However, the Hou of Qingyuan had ulterior motives and was the plan of mantis stalking cicadas and orioles, and what he had done before was actually a false conspiracy!
In the second half of the night, just as Emperor Qingyun was in charge of the palace, and while he was waiting for the news of his own nervousness, the Hou of Qingyuan suddenly attacked and directed his subordinates to attack the palace. Half of the Tianqingwei and Tianyunwei who were directly under the control of Emperor Qingyun turned against each other and participated in the rebellion. If it weren't for the other troops and the imperial guards of the two guards who were desperately rescued, Emperor Qingyun would have been captured long ago.
Even so, the guards loyal to Emperor Qingyun were outnumbered, with heavy casualties, blood flowing in the imperial city, fewer and fewer people, and the situation was in danger.
At this time, a team of people arrived in time and rushed in from outside. Although the number was only a thousand, everyone was very skilled, skilled, skilled, and tacitly trained and cooperated with each other to save Emperor Qingyun. However, in the end, they could only barely trap the inner city of the palace, and the surroundings were occupied by rebels.
This group of martial arts people are the royal secret power Tiandu Guard secretly trained by the emperor's uncle Dongqing King.
For a long time, the outside world only knew that Emperor Qingyun and his brother, the leader of the Later Party, King Xitai, were in conflict. In order to protect themselves, King Beiyan and Emperor Dongqing, the imperial uncle of the early emperor, did not care about political affairs when they were doing business and were good at martial arts. In addition, the prince of Nan'an has been neutral for a long time, so people in the world think that Emperor Qingyun is weak and is like a puppet, and has only taken some power acquisition in recent years.
In fact, King Beiyan and Emperor Qingyun had a good relationship in the palace school since childhood, and later appeared to be alienated after Emperor Qingyun ascended the throne. With Emperor Qingyun's secret support, King Beiyan specialized in operating his business network, which was actually responsible for the construction of intelligence systems outside the capital and other countries.
It is true that the emperor's uncle, the King of the Eastern Qing Dynasty, is fond of martial arts and travels all year round, but he upholds the concept of the orthodox legitimate son as the throne. He is determined to Emperor Qingyun, who is the eldest son of the late emperor, but he is unfavorable to the failure of the throne, but is loved by the Queen Mother and the Queen, and is arrogant and domineering King of Xitai.
After the death of the late emperor, due to many constraints, the King of Western Thailand, supported by the Later tribe, was unable to reach the top as he wished, but his power in the court became increasingly powerful.
In order to prevent accidents, the King of Dongqing discussed with Emperor Qingyun and secretly established the Tiandu Guard with his influence in the martial arts world. Finally, he played a role in the rebellion of the Qingyuan Hou. It is also considered that Emperor Qingyun's destiny should not be eliminated.
At this moment, Emperor Qingyun sat on the bed in the East Warm Pavilion of Yangxin Hall where he lived, with a lonely expression and a gray face. He was shocked on the one hand. Yue Ye's opposition, who was favored by him as his trusted support and entrusted with important tasks, had a huge blow to him.
Looking at the plaque "Diligence and Respect for the Virtue" hanging on the door, Emperor Qingyun's eyes were dull and asked the King of Dongqing who was sitting on the side with weak help: "Uncle, what is the situation? What should I do?"
The King of Dongqing browsed deeply and said, "Your Majesty must cheer up. You are the backbone. How can you have the confidence to work together to get rid of the predicament?"
Emperor Qingyun looked at King Dongqing: "Where is the way out for life? Yue Ye, who is ambitious, is in vain that I trust him so much and entrusts him with great affairs. What is he doing for?"
The King of the Eastern Qing Dynasty said: "The rebels are powerful, and they should be controlled by them both inside and outside the central government. Although they repel several waves of attacks, Yue Ye will definitely mobilize troops to attack fiercely, and the strength and supplies in the palace will not last long."
"For the sake of this, I can only lead Yelichen to lead the Tiandu Guard to protect the emperor and break out of the city with all his might. There are only a few young princes in the palace, and others may not care about it."
Emperor Qingyun smiled bitterly and said blankly: "Did you rush out? Where will you go after you go out?"
The King of Dongqing said in a deep voice: "With the ability of my ministers, I will find a few more dead soldiers to pretend to be the emperor to distract the rebels from their attention and protect you well."
"Yue Ye's intention is unknown. In theory, with the troops of the capital, he is not enough to make him become king. No matter which army of kings is coming, he can crush the rebellion."
"So I think Yue Ye must collude with other people in the court or the surrounding countries, and conspire to subvert our court at home and outside."
"It shouldn't be the King of Xitai. When I came, the direction of the King of Xitai's mansion was also in chaos. There were no people from the Hou Party and Shenfeng Camp in the team attacking the palace."
"If it is true, the King of Xitai will either be captured or escaped and will go to Xiyuguan. Although the journey is a bloody country, as long as the King of Xitai is still there, we cannot refer to it and cannot take this risk."
"Pingnan Daying is Yueye's base. His father and son are united, so the south must have fallen. Perhaps Yueye is fighting for the idea of becoming a king in the south and becoming a hegemony."
"The Duke Tong from the north should have no problem and can defect to him. The only thing he is worried about is that the Heng Dynasty will take the opportunity to invade the south. If Yue Ye secretly talks with him, we will be attacked from both sides."
"The prince of Nan'an in the east has always been self-protection, but I believe that he is loyal to the emperor and our dynasty. I think that the emperor should go east, relying on the eastern territory and tens of thousands of troops, join forces with the Duke of Tong in the north to gradually suppress the rebels and recover the lost territory."
"People's public opinion will stand on our side, and all the prefectures and counties in various places will not surrender to the traitors. Although it is inevitable that the emperor is still young. After this setback, in time, he will be able to revive my Great Dust Dynasty again."
After hearing these words, Emperor Qingyun felt a little better, cheered up, and asked again: "Oh, let's talk about the funeral, I'm afraid that Yue Thief can think of these things. Even if he kills the palace, he will encircle and block the enemy."
The King of Dongqing smiled: "The emperor doesn't know that his cultivation has been transformed into a state of transformation. If he hadn't been anxious to rescue the thief just now, the thief should be on guard. In addition, he is alone in his clone and has to stay by the emperor's side to make plans. I can assassinate Yue Ye alone. Maybe by then, the rebels will collapse without fighting, and this crisis will be resolved. What a pity."
"But if things cannot be done, I will only protect the saint and the emperor from the sky. I still have this certainty. Therefore, the emperor can relax. I can achieve enlightenment for a few years and I must protect the saint and restore my Zhou family's world."
"I have ordered many of my masters to break out of the city. First, I will announce the truth about Yue Ye's rebellion and rebellion to the outside world, and second, I will raise an emergency to all the important garrisons, especially Duke Tong and the Prince of Nan'an, and ask them to send troops to help the king immediately."
"Master, rest and take care of your spirits, wait for your ministers to arrange a breakout at night."
The two uncles and nephews planned to escape here, and the rebel headquarters, the Qingyuan Hou Yueye was also pondering.
After a night of turmoil, the capital gradually returned to peace. The rebels had controlled all areas except the inner city of the palace. Sporadic resistance was not afraid, but Yue Ye was unable to be happy.
The business plan has been planned for decades. Although the progress of things has been generally implemented according to plan and steps, controlling Zhongping is only the first step, and there are still some mistakes and accidents, which makes him feel uneasy, and the shadows appear in his heart and cannot be removed.
