Emperor Jin

Chapter 222
He Yuan couldn't believe that such a simple, quick, almost rough plan could come from the hands of a thoughtful queen.

"Your Majesty, why do you need to act on the cusp of this storm? You have to give the head of the country some time to prepare..."

He Yuan's voice finally fell silent after seeing the queen's gloomy complexion.

"You have done a good job. Now the emperor has no trust in the guards of the inner palace. In the early morning, he will relegate you all out of Beijing and cut off all my cronies—there is a cliff behind us, so where is there any way out? !"

The queen said slowly, "I just won the imperial concubine of the previous dynasty, and the entire capital is sweeping up the rebellious party. At this juncture, if something happens to the emperor, everyone in the world will definitely think that it was the remnants of the previous dynasty. Who would have thought of it?" What about this palace?!"

He Yuan couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat when he heard her words. As the commander of the guards, he knew better than anyone else that the reason why the empress was able to call the wind and rain in the palace was because he chose most of the guards in the palace. This advantage is gone. Hasn't the queen become an ordinary woman in the palace? !

The emperor kept his face and wanted to cut off the rear party, but he did not give them any escape...

His heart was ruthless, and he simply said: "Your Majesty, there were people who saw you arguing with Wan Sui before, and these people should also be included..."

He made a neck-cutting motion, the queen shook her head and said: "Take your time, they dare not say anything these days, too many people die at once, it's not good."

"Morning... at that time..."

The queen read in a low voice, her voice was sometimes sad, but sometimes ruthless.

On the emperor's side, news was soon received that Tiqi in Jingzhong finally tracked down the whereabouts of the suspicious man and woman after picking up the whistleblower, but there was some movement at the east gate—it seemed that the guards at the city gate were unintentional. Buying Tiqi's account, arguing on both sides, actually deducted Tiqi too.

The emperor listened quietly, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.

"This is not right..."

The leader of Tiqi nodded respectfully and said: "That's true. Those monkey cubs are too useless. They were captured by a few city gate guards. When they lead them back after dawn, they must be taught a lesson."

The emperor's eyes suddenly shone with a strong light, and he glared coldly and said in a low voice, "No, there is clearly something strange about this! Didn't you see it at all?—Although the guards at the city gate had a history of quarrel with you, they wouldn't be here. It's a critical moment to stir up trouble..."

He immediately stood up and said in an irrefutable tone: "Open the gate of the palace, and transfer the Beijing camp with my order!"

Zhang Xun was sharpening his ink in a hurry, he shuddered and asked, "Do you want them to drive to the east gate...?!"

The emperor glanced sharply, and said with a sneer: "Their goal is to send an order that one of the three divisions of the Beijing camp be sent out to change defenses in the palace - be sure to be in place early, and the other two divisions stay on the ground."

***
The Beijing camp was doomed to not be able to sleep peacefully during this night. According to military regulations, no one could enter without authorization before dawn, but after the moon set, the iron fence was opened to let the envoys enter.

After repeatedly confirming the emperor's handwriting, the general of the Beijing camp finally began to issue an order. He looked around at the officers of the three major battalions, and after thinking in his heart, he began to think about it——

The central army was the elite under the emperor's command back then, while the left and right armies were incorporated from the previous dynasty. Among them, there were even officers who "mixed sand" with the Shenning army. The degree of loyalty is clear at a glance.

He immediately ordered the central army to enter the palace immediately, the left and right armies stayed behind, but he himself sat at the same place, invited the left and right battalion officers to hold a banquet together, and said he would stick to the capital tomorrow, but in fact he was here to monitor himself.

He thought to himself: The emperor himself is a master of military use, so it's not easy to mobilize these old troops, but these descendants...

He glanced at the left camp officer, the leader was Huang Minggui's old man, he was drunk at this time, but he complained: "Dawn is coming, but we have to hold a banquet here, so don't drink this wine! "

Someone at the side clamored for breakfast, the general suppressed his anger, knowing that the quartermaster was usually mean to these two departments, but today he was just showing his temper.

Seeing this, the leader of Tiqi who passed the order couldn't help whispering: "These people seem to have resentment towards the imperial court, why don't they replace them in time?"

The generals of the Beijing camp were single-handedly selected by the emperor, and he was not mediocre. Hearing this, he said with a smile: "These people are all surrendered generals, and it is true that they have no loyalty to the imperial court, but they will not have an affair with the old chief—" —”

He pointed out one by one that these people were all dissidents who were eliminated from the inside when Huang Minggui and other generals reorganized the team. They didn't deal with the old chief at all.

The leader of Tiqi could not help admiring. Some of the people were drinking, some were munching their breakfast, and they were in a mess. Seeing that the sky was about to turn white, they suddenly heard a whirring, like a mountain whistling and a tsunami, as if countless people were running restlessly. .

"What's going on outside?!"

The leader of the Beijing camp jumped up from his seat in shock—the Chinese army had been gone for almost an hour, how could this be sung?

Hearing the voice, the chief officer of the left army seemed to be in his own camp. He also jumped up from his seat, rubbed his drunken eyes, and left the hall. Not long after, he scrambled in, his face blue and white. , his lips trembled in fright, but he couldn't say a word.

"Did you see the hell?!"

The general of the Beijing camp was shocked and angrily reprimanded.

"My... my lord, all... all gone!"

The chief officer of the left army was trembling, but he couldn't say a word.

Seeing that the Shangguan was going to be furious, he panicked and finally said fluently: "Our armies on the left and right seemed to be crazy, and ran towards the outside of the camp, but we couldn't stop them, and we didn't listen to persuasion—it seemed like we were caught. Like a devil!"

"Whose general order?!"

The general of the Beijing camp could hardly believe his ears, "Which superior ordered it?!"

"No one instructed... Shangguan is drinking here!"

There was silence in the whole venue, and it took a long time before someone woke up like a dream and rushed out of the hall, and then, there was an angry scream outside——

"Aren't you all crazy?! Who ordered you?!"

No one answered, the roar of the crowd continued, and the general of the Beijing camp sat limply, feeling as if he had fallen into a bizarre dream, so absurd that it almost didn't seem real.

(I wish you all a happy new year and all the best!!)
