Chapter 29 Rebellion
this day,
Concubine Rong invited the minister's family members into the palace in the name of praying for blessings from the official family. Hualan was reminded by Yuan Wenshao in advance, and she excused herself by saying that she was just out of confinement and was infected with the cold as an excuse for not going.

When everyone arrived in the palace, they found that they were all the family members of the military general. At first, everyone didn't care when they arrived. The capital has been on a regular basis for a long time, and no one thought that there would be a palace change. Only a few officials thought it was wrong and didn't think too much about it.

Suddenly there was a shout of killing from outside, and an internal official reported that the outer palace gate was opened by someone, and an army directly entered the inner palace.

Only then did everyone realize that something was wrong, and Concubine Rong also showed her true colors, saying that she deliberately deceived everyone, and if any general made any changes, she would kill the family first, especially Princess Pingning, Concubine Rong hated her the most, that is Because of her family, my younger sister was forced to commit suicide, so she was taken away first, and she was going to be dealt with first!

The city defense battalion in Jingshili suddenly expelled the people, cleared the streets, and did not allow the people to walk around freely outside. All the houses were closed and they were not allowed to go out!

On the originally noisy street, there were no pedestrians in an instant, and only groups of armored soldiers carrying guns and spears were constantly patrolling back and forth.

At the same time, Yuan Wenshao also got the news that the nine gates of the capital were suddenly closed and no entry or exit was allowed!
Yuan Wenshao directly summoned the generals, told the news, and asked the generals to prepare the army and ordnance now. If there is an order to arrive, the western suburbs camp must be ready to dispatch!

When the generals are gone, all Yuan Wenshao has to do is wait. In fact, with his current prestige, he can directly order the western suburbs to march. But if he does this, there will be endless troubles. There is no tiger charm to mobilize the army without authorization. Ji, even if the rebellion is successfully assessed and the officials are rescued, the seeds of jealousy have been buried in the hearts of two generations of officials, and it is purely thankless.

Sure enough, not long after, a herald came to report, and a group of people came to see the general outside the gate.

Yuan Wenshao stood up directly, walked towards the Yuanmen, and at the same time ordered the herald to summon all the generals to the big tent for discussion.

When I arrived at Yuanmen, I saw Gu Tingye's figure, and everyone surrounded this elegant-looking middle-aged man, presumably this was Zhao Zongquan,

"What are you looking for from me? Zhong Huai?"

The latter sentence looked directly at Gu Tingye.

Gu Tingye immediately said anxiously:
"Second brother Yuan, this is Zhao Zongquan, the clan of the Great Zhou Dynasty. We have obtained the military talisman and the blood edict, and the officials require you to send troops to suppress the rebellion!"

After speaking, he briefly introduced some of the situation in Beijing, saying that King Yan led troops to force the palace, hijacked the official house, and so on!

Yuan Wenshao first bowed to Zhao Zongquan, and then pretended to say:
"This matter is of great importance, you come in first, I want to check the authenticity of the soldier talisman and the blood edict!"

When everyone arrived at the big tent, all the generals had already arrived. To be honest, Yuan Wenshao couldn't tell if it was true or not. I still have to dress up.
"Well, both the soldier talisman and the blood edict are true. The edict said that the Beijing camp should be mobilized. I don't know if the two big camps in the northern and eastern suburbs have already been mobilized?" The reason why he asked this was because they were supposed to come from the direction of Yuzhou. Driving here, the first thing to pass should be the camp in the eastern suburbs, and then his camp in the western suburbs.

Unexpectedly, when Yuan Wenshao asked such a question, everyone kept silent. It turned out that everyone had indeed arrived at the camp in the eastern suburbs first, but they didn't even enter the door. Marquis Dingyuan didn't see them at all. Zhao Zongquan was so frightened that he thought there was no hope, and shouted again He wanted to go back to Yuzhou, but fortunately, everyone dissuaded him.

Yuan Wenshao didn't expect them to answer anything, looked around the generals for a week, and said in a deep voice:
"The official's kindness to me is as great as a mountain. Now that King Yan is rebelling, the official's family is in danger. The official sent someone to send a soldier talisman and a blood edict. I decided to send troops to put down the rebellion!"

The generals had been instructed long ago, and at this time they all declared 'no'!
Zhao Zongquan and his entourage felt at ease now, they were really afraid of what would happen if the Marquis of Weiyuan didn't accept the call, after all, the opinion of the general is the most important thing about the usurpation of the palace!

At the end of Maoshi, Yuan Wenshao and others led [-] cavalry to the west gate first. They deceived the city gate guard as in the plot, and the army drove straight in, directly into the palace. The imperial army and the city defense battalion had not fought for a long time. It's okay to bully the unarmed ordinary people, but they have no resistance when they meet the elites led by Yuan Wenshao. In fact, not many forbidden soldiers were killed, most of them surrendered. It was just an order, and when they saw the army put down the rebellion, they surrendered one after another!

The rebellion subsided quickly, and after Gu Tingye shot King Yan to death with an arrow, the turmoil was almost over, just like in the TV series, very sloppy haha!

Yuan Wenshao had a chance to shoot King Yan to death, but after thinking about it, he should leave it to Gu Tingye. He doesn't have any requirements for the reward for meritorious service. Besides, King Yan is also the heir of the emperor after all. In the future, the new emperor and queen mother There is still a period of fighting for power and profit. Let's not be the leader now, just do our own duty and ignore them!

Emperor Renzong was already seriously ill, and his body was on the verge of collapse due to the military chaos in the palace. He hastily summoned all the ministers and ministers, and hastily wrote the imperial edict and passed away!

Prince Zhao Zongquan temporarily appointed Gu Tingye as the commander of the imperial army, and his brother-in-law Shen Congxing as the commander of the city defense battalion, and asked the two to deal with the rebels properly. They should be killed as much as they should be appeased, and recruit new troops from good families. Fill vacancies.

When the two of them got a firm foothold and thought about it, they would turn positive. Yuan Wenshao led the Beijing camp to help maintain order in the imperial city and the capital, clean up the law and order in the capital, and prevent bad guys from taking advantage of the chaos.

Yuan Wenshao deliberately went back to the Hou Mansion and the Yuan family. The Sheng family took a look and found that there was basically nothing wrong. It was King Yong's family, and there were not many casualties among the people outside.

When he was in the Hou Mansion, Hua Lan kept hugging Yuan Wenshao and cried, obviously terrified.

The succession ceremony of the new emperor was a bit hasty. After all, he had just experienced the new funeral of the rebellious emperor, because Zhao Zongquan himself was only a distant clan. Mr. Han Zhang proposed that the Empress Dowager Cao, who is also the first emperor’s empress Cao, listen to the government behind the curtain. All the ministers also agreed. Zhao Zongquan was not so happy, but he did not have any foundation in the court. If you pick it up, you can only agree.

As the new emperor, Zhao Zongquan also promoted some meritorious ministers, such as Gu Tingye and Shen Congxing, who also became regulars one after another, and some old ministries brought by Yuzhou were also arranged to key departments, especially the Eastern Suburb Daying, Dingyuanhou directly Just go home to take care of the elderly, if it wasn't for the fact that the new emperor had just succeeded to the throne and was not stable, he might have gone to war.

Yuan Wenshao, as a meritorious minister, was promoted from a casual official (equivalent to a military rank) to a second-rank general of the Fuguo. Others have not changed much. He is now almost at the top of the military officer. , Recovering mountains and rivers and the like are generally not Jinfeng.
