Chapter 995: Hostage


Cheng Qian slowly calmed down.

Teacher Li Chao has told me many times that the more calm you should be when you encounter major events.

He let out a long breath, "We have to find someone to discuss a countermeasure now." ” Ma Zhou agreed, "His Royal Highness is reasonable, and the minister also feels that the current situation is unclear and it is not appropriate to act hastily, but he must first stabilize his position, at least ensure the safety of the East Palace."

The minister immediately went to summon the ministers of the Zhongshu Gate, the privy council of the Privy Council, and the scholars of the Hanlin Academy to the East Palace for deliberations, and in addition, asked His Royal Highness to issue an order from the prince to order the guards of the East Palace to guard the palace gate, and it was best to urgently adjust the defensive order and position. ” During the Xuanwumen Change, Ma Zhou also participated in it with Li Chao, and clearly understood the planning and process of the entire palace change at that time.

The palace mutiny is different from ordinary rebellions, and the most important thing is raiding and controlling.

The palace city of Hanjing is different from the palace city of Chang'an.

At the time of the Xuanwu Gate Change, there was only one palace city in Chang'an, and the East Palace was in the east of the Taiji Palace, but it was basically connected.

At that time, the goal of the palace change was Taiji Palace, and the most important thing was that the Yuanji was built that morning, and they entered the palace through the Xuanwu Gate to face the saint, and Li Shimin and they bribed the generals of the forbidden army and ambushed them at the Xuanwu Gate.

The palace city of Hanjing City is actually three palace cities that are together and independent of each other, consisting of the North Palace Daming Palace, the South Palace Ziwei Palace and the East Palace.

"Does Ma Xiang think that the guards of the East Palace have anyone to serve the emperor?"

"I don't know about this for the time being, but I have to guard against it."

Ma Zhoudao, not afraid of just in case, just afraid of 10,000.

Back then, a Chang He made the Xuanwu Gate change, and Li Shimin and they became the winners.

Cheng Qian nodded, "Mobilizing the guards of the East Palace at this time, will it startle the snake?"

” "There's no way around that."

Although the East Palace has now been removed from the East Palace's guards, the East Palace itself still retains a guard, that is, the East Palace's pro-Xun Yi, the three guards and five mansions, but they no longer command the foreign soldiers.

The soldiers of the three guards and five mansions add up, and they are divided into several shifts in peacetime, and there are more than 1,000 in each shift.

After the order to change the guard and transfer the guard, the guards of the East Palace didn't feel anything wrong, and everything went smoothly.

Under the Zhongshu Gate, Wei Zheng and Gao Shilian were the first to arrive.

The two left-behind prime ministers were both dressed in purple robes and wearing crowns.

"Your Highness, I don't know what the important thing is to send someone to summon you" Ma Zhou briefly said the matter, "The two prime ministers, the matter is urgent, and you need to discuss the big plan together." ” The two were shocked.

Du Ruhui also came, he was carried into the palace, his condition was very serious, but at this time the East Palace needed his experience and prestige.

Du Ruhui coughed badly, and after listening, his eyes widened.

"Ma Xiang's plan is right, first summon the central ministers of the imperial court into the East Palace, and then block the East Palace, stabilize the position, and then talk about other things."

Facing the Emperor Taishang who was going to be restored, and it was the Emperor Taishang who had been planning for a long time, they all felt terrible.

No one thought of rushing to Daming Palace unprepared, that would be too risky.

"When the privy envoys of the Privy Council arrive, we will immediately transfer troops."

The scholars of the Hanlin Academy came earlier than the Privy Council, and Chu Suiliang and Cen Wenwen, the two internal ministers, both thought that they should start first and start early.

But even if you start, you have to wait for the people of the Privy Council first.

The crown prince is now in charge of the country, regent on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and has the power to command the army, but the transfer of troops still has to pass the military charm of the Privy Council.

The privy envoy Qu Tongtu, the deputy envoy Chai Shao, Liu Hongji, Duan Zhixuan, and Yin Kaishan.

One is four pairs, only Chai Shao has not arrived.

"What about Chai Shao," Ma Zhou asked.

"Chai Shumi just said that there are some things to deal with at home, go back to the house first, after we received the prince's order, we have sent someone to Chai Mansion to inform him to enter the palace."

Flexion channel.

Cheng Qian's face was gloomy, and he now believed more and more in the restoration of the Emperor.

Because on that letter, Chai Shao was an important contact person for the restoration of Emperor Taishang.

At this time, Chai Shao did not enter the palace, and there must be ghosts who did not dare to come.

Zhongshu Menxia, Hanlin Yuan, and Privy Council, the three most important yamen officials of the imperial court, basically arrived in Beijing, and only Chai Shao did not arrive.

"What now" Many of the ministers present were still in shock.

The Emperor Taishang is going to rebel, how to hear how to be surprised.

"Your Royal Highness, I think we should immediately give an order to transfer the troops and horses of the north and south to enter the city in Beijing, surround the Daming Palace first, and invite the Emperor Taishang to the East Palace."

Chu Suiliang proposed.

And Ma Zhou believes that the most important thing now is that it is still unclear who is a friend and who is an enemy, and it is even difficult to say whether there is an emperor among the important ministers here.

"Your Highness, I think that the main officials of the three provinces, six departments, five temples and nine prisons should be summoned immediately, as well as the generals of the Eighteen Guards of the North and South Ya to enter the East Palace."

This week of Ma Zhou is called catching thieves and capturing kings.

Chai Shao didn't come just now, which made him think of this trick.

If it was from the Emperor's side, then they might not dare to come.

If they don't come, it proves that they have fallen to the emperor, and now the enemy and the enemy are clear.

And if they come, then they will enter the palace alone, they will be isolated from the outside, and they can no longer contact the emperor, especially those generals, they will not be able to lead troops.

Du Ruhui coughed a few times, and he also thought of one from Ma Zhou's words.

"Immediately send someone to inform the nobles and nobles in the capital, and let those nobles come to the East Palace."

Calling a number of nobles into the East Palace can be regarded as making them hostages.

At this time, I didn't care to distinguish who was the emperor's person and who was the emperor's prince's side, so I summoned people to the East Palace first, and there was a hostage.

If anyone doesn't come, there's a problem.

Those who come become hostages.

"Okay, let's do it."

Cheng Qian's decisive decision.

The ministers are starting to get busy.

Cheng Qian walked up to Ma Zhou's side, "Ma Xiang, do you think that letter will be given to you by the teacher?"

"I don't know."

Ma Zhou actually felt that this letter might have been sent by Li Chao.

When the imperial court didn't find out about the emperor's restoration plan, they had so much information and could still send it to his table, and he estimated that Li Chao had this ability.

If the emperor knew the news of the restoration of the emperor, he would definitely tell the prince first.

But why Li Chao can know this, Ma Zhou can't say much.

"Ma Xiang, you immediately arrange to bring the families of the Zhao Guogong Mansion and the families of the important ministers of the court to the East Palace.

We summoned those ministers and nobles into the palace, and we also had to prevent the emperor from hijacking the ministers' families.

Especially the people from the Zhao Guogong Mansion must be brought in immediately. ” "Okay."

Ma Zhou said.

Soon, Ma Zhou found Cheng Qian.

"Your Highness, the people of Zhao Guogong's Mansion left Beijing early yesterday morning."

"Leaving Beijing" Cheng Qian was unexpected.

"Well, early yesterday morning, Mrs.

Cui left with the whole house, and they took a boat to go to Wudang Mountain Jingle Manor for a vacation." t1706231537:
