Chapter 790

In the capital, it was also raining heavily.

The entire Jinling City was submerged in the heavy wind and rain. The people who were only worried about leaking roofs and water accumulation in their yards did not know that there was an undercurrent surging in the capital at this time, and all of them were on the verge of extreme danger. .

The lights in the festival hall of the Grand Governor's Mansion were brightly lit, and the heavily armed soldiers outside the hall were on guard. The rain washed away their armor and weapons.A bolt of lightning flashed across them, illuminating them with a cold light.

The festival hall was filled with senior military officers in red robes.

Among these people, in addition to the officials of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, there were also all the commanders and envoys in Beijing... Not only the commanders and envoys of the Beijing Camp Guard Station, but also the commanders and envoys of the local garrison station in Beijing were also called.

They were called to discuss matters by Ding Yu, the left governor, at noon. They did not expect that the meeting would be long and long. It was already midnight and there was no intention of adjourning the meeting.

The generals were all hungry and anxious. Finally, someone couldn't help but asked while Ding Yu was drinking water: "Captain, it's already midnight and it's not over yet?"

"Yeah, we're going to starve to death." The other officers immediately agreed.

"Back then, when we were marching and fighting, we could survive without stuttering for two or three days." Ding Yu said displeasedly: "Now I sit with my hands up high, with enough tea and snacks, and it only takes half a day for me to cry out that I am hungry. Why do I cry about being hungry? "

"The problem isn't war now, is it?" Ding Yu's qualifications were low after all. Some veterans were dissatisfied and said: "We can endure hardship, but who would be willing to suffer in vain if nothing happens?"

"Besides, after many discussions, nothing came of it. It's all just talk."

"That's it, what kind of brainstorming? I think it's a collective fart!" someone said, causing the whole room to burst into laughter.

'Snapped! Ding Yu was so angry that he clapped his hands hard and shouted, "How dare you! Look where you are, this is the Governor's Mansion! Anyone who dares to disobey the rules will be punished by military law!"

As soon as Governor Zuo showed his power, most of the generals stopped, but the pro-army commanders still didn't buy it.

Such as Yulinwei, Longxiangwei, Yingyangwei, these pro-army commanders, although administratively subordinate to the Metropolitan Governor's Office, they are actually the emperor's attendants and pro-army.

Previously, the person in charge of the Governor's Office was Li Wenzhong, the emperor's nephew Cao Guogong. These pro-military commanders were all obedient. But now that Ding Yu has been replaced, the situation is different...

Of course, if Ding Yu hadn't gone too far, they wouldn't have made a fuss. After all, the county magistrate was not as good as the current manager, and it would be very troublesome to offend the governor's office.

~~
But from noon to midnight, the patience of the personal guards commanders was completely exhausted...

"Since the governor mentioned the rules, we have to go back." Zhu Shou, the governor in charge of the Yulin Guards, said coldly: "According to the rules, all guards officers must be in the camp at night. The left governor has all the people in the capital. All the commanders were summoned and refused to go back, and those who didn’t know thought they were going to rebel.”

"That is, the emperor is not in the capital yet. If something happens, who can take the responsibility?" Several other pro-army commanders also stood up and said, "The governor wants to continue the discussion, we will go back first."

"Oh, it's raining so heavily. I'm really worried if I'm not in the camp." As they said that, they were about to go out.

"Who dares?!" Ding Yu slapped the big case hard and said angrily: "Didn't you hear what I said? Whoever dares to disobey the rules will be served by military law!"

As he spoke, he raised his voice and said: "Whoever dares to step out of this door will be rewarded with eighty military sticks! If you have the courage, just leave!"

At this time, the pro-army generals' arrogance froze, and they all heard that he was serious.They all looked at Zhu Shou, hoping that Big Brother would come up with an idea.But Zhu Shou suddenly turned around and stared at Ding Yu in the hall. His whole body was hairy at the sight, and then he asked word by word: "Captain Zuo, you don't really want to rebel, do you?"

"..." Ding Yu didn't expect that he asked so directly, and was stunned.

Of course he knew something was going on in Tangshan tonight.The purpose of gathering these generals tonight is to wait for Tangshan to take control of all the troops in the capital once they succeed.

But according to Hu Xiang's arrangement, if Tangshan didn't succeed, he wouldn't have to do anything and just treat it as a meeting.

Therefore, he does not admit that he rebelled. He believes that he only assumed the responsibilities of the Governor's Office after the incident...otherwise he would not have joined Hu Weiyong's plan.

"Don't stop spewing nonsense!" Ding Yu came to his senses immediately and said angrily: "I've made you look like your mother!"

"Then why do you want to stop us from returning to camp and give us eighty military sticks?!" Zhu Shou said tit for tat:

"We are the emperor's own soldiers. Even if you want to punish us, you have to ask the emperor for instructions first! Now if you don't ask the emperor for instructions, you will kill us alive with a stick. It's hard not to make people doubt your intentions!"

"That's right, I think he is not in a good mood today!" Several other pro-army generals immediately echoed: "What important matter requires us to be called here without even a single person on duty?"

"If all of us in this room are captured in one fell swoop, the capital's defense will be completely paralyzed!"

"It's really..." Even the other officers began to whisper among themselves and became restless. Someone stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Captain, let's dismiss the meeting first. The emperor and the prince are not in the capital, so we need to avoid suspicion."

"That's right, Governor, there's nothing important to discuss. Don't make a fuss just for the sake of publicity." Even Yu Xiandu, the right-hand governor of the Governor's Mansion, advised: "The Governor's Mansion is in charge of the military power of the world on behalf of the emperor and is most afraid of rumors. "

"..." Sweat broke out on Ding Yu's forehead. He didn't expect these guys to be so alert.But the more this happened, the less he dared to let them out.

Everyone became wary and guarded them tightly when they returned. It would be extremely difficult for me to control them again.

"Let's go, let's go!" Seeing him sitting there like a clay sculpture without saying a word, Zhu Shou greeted the generals and opened the door to go out.

"Everyone, stop!" When Ding Yu saw this, he was so excited that he slapped the "Frightened Tiger" and roared to the captain of the soldiers outside the door: "Ding Quangui, go out and arrest them one by one. I Let’s see who can get out of my territory today!”

"..." Zhu Shou knew he couldn't leave. If he went out at this time, he would be tied up, but it was too embarrassing to talk to him in such a hurry.

When they were in a dilemma, they saw the door of the festival hall being pushed open suddenly.

But the person who came in was not Ding Yu's captain, but Cao Guogong, who had been recovering at home for many days.

Duke Cao Guo handed over his poncho to his soldiers. Shi Shiran walked into the hall and smiled gently at the tense two sides: "It's so late, why are you still having a meeting?"

If it weren't for the fact that Ding Yu's men had all been disarmed behind Li Wenzhong, people would have thought he was here to visit.

But when he came, the situation in the festival hall was completely reversed...
