Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 1246 Crisis
With Chen Mao's words, Zhu Yi's tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little. After all, even if Zhu Qizhen wanted to find someone to sacrifice the flag, he couldn't kill them both together, but...

After relaxing slightly, Zhu Yi quickly noticed the abnormality, because, in a sense, his and Chen Mao's reactions were normal in this situation.

After all, this is a major matter related to wealth and life. It is impossible to make a decision without hesitation. It is normal to have hesitation.

What's more, the two questions he raised are actually the most critical questions. If these two questions are not clear, then rashly launching an army is tantamount to seeking death.

However, the strange thing is that the two of them were so hesitant, but Zhang Xi, who was usually the most impatient, actually remained silent this time...

This time, Zhu Yi's question did not last long, because just after Chen Mao finished speaking, Zhang Min on the side spoke.

"Don't worry, you two. I have a solution for Jin Yiwei!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yi and Chen Mao both looked at Zhang Min with surprise in their eyes, but there was no surprise on Zhu Qizhen's face.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Xi glanced at Zhu Qizhen, who was in charge. Seeing that the other party had no objection, Zhang Xi said.

"There is a fellow commander named Bi Wang among the Jinyi Guards. He was favored by my brother in his early years. I have not exposed this relationship over the years. Just for this moment, please rest assured. Before entering the palace, I have given He ordered someone to deliver a message to Bi Wang. Although he cannot directly mobilize the Jin Yiwei, he can still temporarily immobilize the Jin Yiwei."

After the words fell, Zhu Yi and Chen Mao looked at each other, feeling huge waves in their hearts.

Especially Zhu Yi, although he had long known that the British government had a deep foundation, he never thought that Zhang Shi could guard this person until now without revealing it.

So, is this what the Supreme Emperor relies on?

Zhu Yi's thoughts swirled in her mind and she said.

"The Supreme Emperor, even if the Jinyi Guards won't be dispatched, the palace..."

"I told you, the emperor is already unconscious!"

This time, before he finished speaking, Zhu Qizhen interrupted him directly, his words were firm, and there was an inexplicable chill in his eyes.

Therefore, Zhu Yi immediately realized that the other party might be really impatient, so she had to lower her head and did not dare to speak again.

But this time, not only Zhu Yi, but also Chen Mao and Zhang Shi on the side had a hint of worry on their faces.

Seeing this situation, Zhu Qizhen also realized that his words alone were not convincing enough, so he spoke in a deep voice.

"You have all seen it. I am now wearing a helmet. This time to bring order to the chaos, I must lead you to charge forward. Do you think that I will use my own life to die?"

This……

Seeing the Supreme Emperor dressed in armor and holding a sword in his hand, the three of them looked at each other and thought for a while, that was indeed the truth.

Although rebellion is a serious crime, even the Supreme Emperor cannot protect himself after failure. Therefore, since Zhu Qizhen dares to take action, at least it means that he is sure, even if it is not clear yet, what exactly is this sure? Where did they come from? But now, they obviously have no possibility of retreating...

After all, the Supreme Emperor has already spoken for this reason. The only way left for them is to follow this road together. Otherwise, I am afraid they will not even be able to get out of the palace gate. .

So, they finally made up their minds and knelt down one after another. Although they were wearing ordinary clothes, they performed military salutes and spoke in tacit agreement.

"I am willing to die for the Supreme Emperor!"

"it is good!"

Then, a smile suddenly appeared on Zhu Qizhen's face, and then he put down the sword in his hand, sat back on the throne again, and said.

"That being the case, I won't say anything more. All of you are important ministers of the country. If today's matter is accomplished, you will be able to rebuild the world. I will reward you generously, give you titles, and protect you from generation to generation. End with the country!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Although these were obviously words of encouragement, such a promise still made the three of them a little excited, and their momentum immediately increased to a higher level.

So, after unifying the thoughts, the next step is naturally the specific layout and arrangements...

Everyone stood up at Zhu Qizhen's signal, and then Zhu Qizhen came to them in person. At the same time, he ordered someone to carry out a huge map of the imperial city, spread it under everyone's feet, and said.

"The incident started tonight. The emperor is now unconscious and the imperial army cannot be dispatched. Shu Liang has now rushed to Tianshou Mountain. The East Factory is leaderless. On the Jin Yiwei side, Bi Wang will take care of it. All the forces that can hinder us have been contained. Stay, and what we have to do is rush into the imperial city and regain the throne!"

"But……"

The one who spoke this time was Chen Mao. Among the three people present, he was the only one with the most experience on the battlefield. Since he decided to take action, he would naturally devote himself to it.

Therefore, after a moment's hesitation, he spoke.

"Even if the emperor is unconscious, the imperial army cannot be mobilized at will without purpose. However, there are more than [-] imperial troops stationed in the palace alone. Maybe they will not take the initiative to fight back. But if we want to break through the imperial city and enter the harem, then , they will definitely try their best to resist. Once things get serious, or the emperor suddenly wakes up and mobilizes the imperial army to fight back, then I'm afraid..."

Chen Mao was very careful with what he said, for fear of angering Zhu Qizhen. However, this time Zhu Qizhen was not angry, but pondered.

"Indeed, so the most important thing for our action this time is to be fast!"

"At Nangong, Commander Meng's Yulin Guard has a complicated origin. Without the Horse Talisman, even after many years of operation, it can only mobilize about 1000 or [-] people at most. That's why I need your help!"

As he spoke, Zhu Qizhen took the lead in looking at Zhang Shi and said.

"Governor Zhang, I previously ordered you to recruit strong men and stockpile swords. How is the situation now?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yi quietly turned his attention to Zhang Shi. What the British government had been doing was quite popular, so he probably knew it, but what was the specifics? How big it was, he didn't know.

At this time, there was actually nothing to hide. Zhang Xi raised his head and looked at the crowd and said.

"Going back to the Emperor, there are more than [-] servants and guards in the British Duke's palace. Including the young men recruited and raised by the minister during this period, there are more than [-] people in total. However, the number of swords is not the same. There are only more than a thousand of them, and these people have never been trained, so in terms of combat power, they may not be able to compare with the Forbidden Army!"

"It doesn't matter! As long as there are enough people!"

Zhu Qizhen had obviously known about this situation for a long time. Then, he turned to look at Zhu Yi and said.

"As for you, I have another important thing that I want to leave to you! Zhu Yi was slightly startled, but soon he firmly handed it over.

"Please give me your Majesty's orders, and I will do my best!"

So Zhu Qizhen ordered someone to take out a handwritten edict, put it in his hand, and said.

"After dawn, I, together with the Yulin guards led by Meng Jian and nearly 3000 people from the British government, will enter the imperial city through Donghua Gate. However, although Donghua Gate is not closed all night, it is guarded by the imperial army. Although it is possible It's very small, but once they retreat into the imperial city and coordinate with the imperial army inside, the big thing will be a failure."

"So, I want you to enter the palace from Donghua Gate, take my edict, go to the East Palace to take the prince out, and use the prince's order to mobilize the young army camp to respond from within and block the retreat of the Donghua Gate guards."

Looking at the edict handed to his hand, Zhu Yi took a deep breath and once again suppressed the shock in his heart, because this edict was obviously not written just now, which meant that the emperor must have already prepared this plan. It has been brewing in my heart for a long time.

However, until now, he was not willing to tell himself and others his plans. It can be seen that all of them may have underestimated the Supreme Emperor before!

However, now is not the time to think about this. Zhu Yi carefully put the edict away and held it in his hand again, saying.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely complete my mission!"

So, Zhu Qizhen nodded and turned his attention to Chen Mao at the end.

"Marquis Chen!"

"Chen is here!"

It was rare that Zhu Qizhen used an honorific title, which made Chen Mao feel awe-struck.

"The success or failure of this uprising will mostly depend on the palace, but once things change, then you, Marquis Chen, will be the last glimmer of hope!"

"Your Majesty please order!"

After hearing this, Chen Mao knelt down on one knee and spoke firmly.

So, Zhu Qizhen continued.

"After leaving the palace, you go to the Ministry of War to find a doctor named Fan Yong. He is responsible for keeping the Ministry of War's deployment of troops. He was newly promoted after Wang Ao was transferred."

"This person has been bribed by Governor Zhang, and he is greedy for life and afraid of death. You can use your power to lure him and lure him. You can get the troop deployment document from him. Then, take the troop deployment document from the Ministry of War and go to the capital camp to mobilize troops! "

Zhu Qizhen said these words very carefully. It can be seen that he did hide a lot of things for this uprising. It was only at this last moment that he really revealed all his cards.

However, after hearing his words, Chen Mao showed a trace of hesitation and cupped his hands.

"Your Majesty, I forgive you. I will obey your instructions. However, according to the rules of the army, the deployment of troops requires the horse talisman, the hand edict and the deployment of troops."

"Not to mention that I don't have the imperial edict to mobilize troops and the horse talisman in my hand. There are strict regulations on the issuance of the survey by the Ministry of War. Even if the doctor is responsible for keeping the survey, it will not be valid if it is not signed by the Minister of the Ministry of War. Strength, this..."

As a military prince who came from the battlefield, Chen Mao naturally knew the process of troop deployment very well, and the reason why the Ming Dynasty's troop deployment process was designed to be so complicated was to prevent the current situation.

But, then again, no matter how strict the regulations are, they still need people to implement them. In this case, there will naturally be loopholes. Zhu Qizhen had obviously expected what Chen Mao said.

"The signatures on the survey and seal can be forged. As long as the survey and seal are genuine, no one will check the signatures carefully. As for the edict..."

After saying this, Zhu Qizhen hesitated for a moment, and then he turned back to the imperial case, took out an imperial edict, and handed it to Chen Mao's hand.

Seeing this situation, Chen Mao was a little confused. When he opened it and took a look, he found that it was an imperial edict for mobilizing troops. However, it was an edict ordered in the emperor's voice. Even the seal stamped at the end was exactly the same. The Emperor's Xinbao used for mobilizing troops.

Of course, to be more precise, this is actually a central edict, and even the edict is not qualified, because in addition to Baoxi, the cabinet, Shang Baosi, Zhongshu Sheren, Liuke, Xingren There are no signatures that a series of departments such as the company should have.

However, just such an edict made Chen Mao's heart churn again.

There is no doubt that this is a fake edict, but this fake edict is actually stamped with a real treasure seal. No, to be precise, it is definitely not a real treasure seal, because the real emperor's trustworthy seal is now It is not in the hands of the Supreme Emperor at all.

The imperial edict in the palace is made of special materials. Logically speaking, this kind of dragon-patterned silk can only be used by the emperor. However, the Supreme Emperor is also an emperor, so Nangong naturally has the same blank edict. As for the seal... privately engrave a fake one Seal is not that difficult,

Therefore, there was only one possibility for the edict in front of him, that is, the Supreme Emperor secretly re-engraved a fake Emperor's Seal, and then used the blank edict in Nangong to forge such a military edict.

However, Chen Mao's shock at this moment did not only come from this, but from the fear in his heart. You must know that he had never even thought about such a thing that would make him tremble just thinking about it.

However, at this moment, this edict really appeared in front of him, so even he himself did not notice that a trace of imprisonment somewhere in his heart seemed to be suddenly broken at this moment.

"Your Majesty, this edict..."

Chen Mao's tone became a little hurried, and it was obvious that he was extremely uneasy at the moment.

However, Zhu Qizhen regarded this abnormality as a shock, so he pondered for a moment and spoke.

"This edict is a forgery, but it uses the real edict, with complete handwriting and seals. Therefore, there is no difference between it and the real edict."

"After you arrive at the capital camp, with the Ministry of War survey and the Central Order, all you need to do is declare that the Forbidden Army has rebelled and blackmailed the emperor. Now that the palace has been sealed off by the Forbidden Army, after you get the Emperor's order to put down the rebellion, you can obtain the Ministry of War Kanhe, but he entered the palace with Kanhe and took away the horse talisman, so he had to rush to the capital camp to mobilize troops. There is no flaw in this statement."

"The only question is, in this situation, will the generals in the Beijing camp listen to you?"

These words sounded somewhat inconsistent, but Chen Mao obviously understood.

According to the normal troop dispatching process, the emperor first took out the treasure gold medal hidden in the palace, and ordered the envoy to take the imperial edict and the gold gold medal to the Ministry of War. After receiving the order, the Ministry of War took the gold gold medal and inspected it. After confirming that the gold medal held by the envoy was authentic, he took the gold medal. The envoys who mobilized troops and gathered together followed the envoys into the palace to see the emperor, and took the horse talisman and the edict from the emperor's hands. Finally, the envoy responsible for mobilizing troops took the horse talisman and the edict to gather and mobilize the troops.

Then, according to this set of procedures, it can be explained that there was chaos in the palace, and the emperor issued an edict to deploy troops to quell the rebellion. After receiving the edict, Chen Mao went to the Ministry of War to take out Kanhe according to the procedure. He wanted to enter the palace to take away the horse talisman, but because of the imperial guards The rebellion had blocked the palace, so they could not enter the palace, so they had to go directly to the capital camp to mobilize troops, which was reasonable.

Therefore, the question now is whether the generals in charge of the Beijing camp accept this statement. If they accept it, then they can mobilize their troops with the help of the forged edict and survey in Chen Mao's hands. If they don't accept it, then naturally everything will stop.

In other words, what is being tested now is Chen Mao’s management in the Beijing camp over the past few years...
