Chapter 1358 Qin Jun broke into the palace and worked as a king
Gao Fu, the fifth-rank internal servant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the official servant of Xuanhui Academy, held a fish charm in his hand and left West Penglai Island on a dragon boat.
Looking back at Xizhou in the Taiye Pool, Gao Fu was expressionless.
The boat docked, Gao Fu came back to his senses, and jumped ashore.
Going directly to the north, Xuanwumen is not far away. At this time, Xuanwumen has been personally guarded by Liu Sigong, a lieutenant of the Zuoqianniu Army who arrived one step earlier.
There are a large number of eunuchs and guards on the Xuanwu Gate, with bright armor and bows and crossbows.
In front of the door, horses had already been put up, and the heavily armed guards were guarding with armor and shields, standing upright.
Gao Fu held a fish charm in one hand, and Gao Hu's handwritten warrant in the other, and came to the door after several inspections.
Liu Sigong, dressed in bright armor, stepped forward.
"My adoptive father asked me to go to the Shenji camp."
Liu Sigong knew that Gao Fu was Gao Hu's adopted son. The eunuchs in the palace also had families. To provide for myself in the future.
Gao Hu was able to be the envoy of Xuanhui Academy and the internal servant supervisor. In addition to being trusted by the emperor in the Eastern Palace, the more important thing is that the Gao family was originally one of the great **** families in the Datang Palace. The Gao family has its own children in many places in the palace, and it is easier for them to show their abilities if they have help from others.
"Be careful, and when things are done, share the wealth!"
Liu Sigong is not from the **** family, he was **** after he was castrated for crimes, not the kind who was castrated and sent to the palace when he was young, and then worshiped in various families in the palace. His roots in the palace are not deep, so he followed worship early Under Gao Hu's door, but he is called Gao Hu's righteous brother.
"Understood, I'm going." Gao Fu looked at the Xuanwu Gate that had been slowly opened a crack, said goodbye and left.
After passing through the North Palace Gate, Gao Fu felt his back was soaked. Behind him were several of his confidants, including his four adopted sons and two younger brothers.
A group of seven people rode on horses and galloped northward.
······
Divine Machine Camp.
Sanqi quietly left the camp.
Outside Luoyang City, there is a ferry terminal on the banks of the Luo River.
Several carrier pigeons flew into a courtyard one after another and landed on the loft.
A pigeon breeder offered food and water to several pigeons, and then took some thin bamboo tubes from the feet of several pigeons. He didn't open them, but went downstairs and handed them to a man.
The man first checked that the seal on the bamboo tube was intact, confirmed that it had not been opened, nodded to him, and then took it away.
A moment later, the house opened wide, several people rode out on fast horses, and several pigeons flew out from the loft, flapping their wings and leaving.
In the city of Luoyang.
In the Duke’s Mansion of the State of Qi, the steward of the kitchen in the mansion purchased meat and vegetables from the market and returned them.
In the study, Qin Jun read the letter in his hand, then lit it on the oil lamp, watched it turn into ashes, and finally crushed the ashes and poured water on it.
"Da Lang?"
Qin Jun was silent.
The information he just received was really astonishing, it was shocking, but the humble groom in front of him was an old man in Duke Qi’s mansion, even when his grandfather Qin Qiong was still alive, he was in the mansion, a mute or a cripple, Inconspicuous, even childless.
But such a person is the intelligence officer assigned to him by Qin Lang.
This man is not dumb either.
Just pretended to be dumb for many years.
"This news is so amazing, I can't believe it." Qin Jun sighed.
"This news is really shocking. In order to spread the news, several of our hidden stakes that have been lurking for more than 30 years have been mobilized."
Thirty years of latency.
Qin Jun was amazed again.
"Dalang, time is running out, we can't hesitate."
The dumb groom calmly analyzed and gave advice for Qin Jun, "We must do it."
Qin Jun also understands that once Gao Hu and the others really cook the rice, it will be very difficult to change it.
"Should we inform the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council immediately?" Qin Jun asked.
"This can only be regarded as a medium strategy." The mute said.
"Then what is the best policy?"
"The best strategy is to take advantage of the opportunity to push the fourth prince to the position of prince, and then take down all the opponents." The mute said calmly.
"It's not easy." Qin Jun said.
"There are no easy things in the world. Look at those eggless people in the palace. Is what they are planning easy now? Even more difficult, but they are still doing it."
The situation is not too bad, even for the Qin family, this may be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
It's a pity that Qin Lang is not in Beijing, otherwise this would not be a troublesome matter at all.
For Qin Jun, this is a challenge.
There is no time to hesitate and consider too much, you must act immediately, hurry up, grab the time, and don't delay for a moment.
The Qin family also has a lot of resources in Luoyang. First of all, the Qin family has a good reputation in the government and the opposition, especially in the army.
Furthermore, the fourth prince, Li Xian, is now the eldest prince and the king of Qin. The emperor suddenly suffered a stroke and became paralyzed, unable to speak, so Li Xian should be established as the heir apparent.
One more thing, the things planned by the eunuchs are too rebellious, and this is also a clue.
But the premise is to be able to thwart the plot of the eunuchs, otherwise this would be a crisis for the Qin family rather than an opportunity.
"I guess there should already be eunuchs' eyeliner outside Qi Guogong's mansion. Is there any way to contact the outside?"
"This is easy. As long as it is not surrounded by the imperial army, I have countless ways to contact the outside, even if Dalang wants to go out, there is no problem. Even if the imperial army is surrounded, I can send Dalang away."
There are not only secret rooms in Duke Qi's mansion, but also secret passages leading to the outside, and there are even more than one.
Qin Jun nodded.
"Let me think about who we can trust now, Cheng Chumo, Niu Jianwu, and my uncles, except Fifth Uncle..."
The mute reminded Qin Jun that the army is the most important at this time.
······
Qi Guogong Qin Jun does not have military power in his hands, but the Qin family has a high influence in the army. Even after the previous emperor's reshuffle of the army, this influence still exists. The emperor only came to adjust the army. For the high-level, middle and low-level areas, the emperor is not capable of rectifying them all at once.
What Qin Jun lacks now is the order to transfer soldiers.
But for Qin Jun, since it is a special time, he can act in a special way, so the procedural order of soldier transfers and other things do not necessarily have to be there.
Otherwise, those in the palace who don’t have eggs can’t do anything.
In the final analysis, you have to be bold.
It’s a big deal to pretend to be an edict.
In the north of Luoyang Palace, the Shenji Camp.
The Shenji Camp is not far from Xuanwu Gate, and it belongs to one of the forbidden camps stationed in the north of the Beiya Palace. This army was established by Qin Lang himself. Today, the Shenji Camp has become the center of the 12th Army of the Beiya. The elite trump card.
The guards at the gate of Daying, seeing a crowd of horses galloping suddenly, all of them turned pale.
An alarm sounded in the Shenji camp, and the faces of Zuo Shenji Lieutenant Gao Ren and the internal affairs officer Gao Fu and others changed drastically.
Gao Ren ordered the Zhonglang, who was sitting in the camp, to close the camp for security.
"The palace is forbidden to camp, who trespassed?" asked the camp.
Outside the camp,
Qin Junce stepped forward immediately.
At this time, he was wearing bright armor, stepped off the BMW, held a mace in his palm, and a pair of golden maces hung on the saddle.
"I am the grandson of King Zhongwu of Qi, the son of King Qi, Grand Master, Duke of Qi, General Zuo Shenji and Qin Junye of Guanglu Qing, and you are the superiors."
Qu Tuquan also recognized this majestic and mighty young general.
"Is the general here to inspect the Shenji camp?" Qu Tuquan asked.
Gao Ren looked at Qin Jun in full armor, and then at the hundreds of servants behind him, with an uneasy expression on his face, he gritted his teeth and said, "This is treason!"
Qin Jun also knew Qu Tuquan. Qu Tuquan was the youngest son of Jiang Guogong Qu Tutong, the hero of Lingyan Pavilion. Qu Tutong died early, and his title was inherited by Qu Tushou.
Qu Tu's family is Xi people, but they belong to the Hu people who have been Sinicized long ago, and they are also members of the Guanlong generals. Although Qu Tuquan did not inherit the title, his father's true riding and shooting skills and military skills were taught by his father, so he joined the army. He performed well, and later the emperor saw Qu Tuquan's name on the military merit book sent by the border town, and realized that he was the son of Qu Tutong, a confidant of the Qin family, and naturally he was greatly praised.
Qu Tuquan later followed Li Shimin in the Eastern Expedition and made great achievements. Now he is named the Duke of Yan County, and he is appointed Zhonglang General of Zuo Shenji Camp.
"Mr. Yanjun."
In front of all the people in Quanshenjiying, Qin Jun directly declared that Empress Wei had colluded with Concubine Xiao and other power eunuchs in the palace to poison and murder the emperor. In the secret place of the palace, an imperial edict was issued to recruit loyal ministers and brave King Qin to eliminate the thief.
It is also said that the sage has issued an edict to establish the fourth son of the emperor, King Qin, as the crown prince, and issued an edict to abolish the throne of Queen Wei and the imperial concubine Xiao.
Lieutenant Gao Ren stood there and let out a piercing shrill voice.
"It's nonsense, it is these rebels who conspired against them, General Qu Tu, please lead your troops to take down these rebels!"
Qin Jun said loudly.
"My Qin family is a general who has made great contributions to the founding of the Tang Dynasty. I have made many contributions to the court, and I am even more loyal. Everyone in the world knows everyone."
As he spoke, Qin Jun waved back again.
So I went up for a few rides.
"Qu Tuquan, you can't tell good from bad, kid? When would you rather listen to a group of eggless eunuchs and treat them like dogs instead of trusting our brothers who fought side by side?"
It was Cheng Chumo who spoke.
The former ruler of the Privy Council is now General Zuo Yulin. He and Qu Tuquan used to be the children of generals who played together.
It's just that Cheng Chumo's official title is far above him now. He is the Duke of Su, who has been appointed as the governor of the world, and has also served as a privy secretary in power.
He stood there and yelled, causing the entire Shenji camp behind him to commotion.
"Qu Tuquan, don't be on the wrong team at the critical moment." Then Peng Guogong and You Jinwu General Niu Jianwu came up to speak.
Of course, in the early years, he was also a playmate with Qu Tuquan brothers.
Immediately afterwards, E State Duke Wei Chi Baolin and his younger brother Wei Chi Baoqi also came forward to shout.
Behind him was Qin Li, who had just been appointed as the envoy of the Qing Navy. He hadn't had time to take up his post yet, and he was standing there with his brothers in armor.
Qu Tuquan looked at the situation.
Can't help but secretly startled, although they didn't bring many people, just some family servants, most of them didn't even have armor, a thousand people from the Shenji Battalion were killed and solved immediately.
But the key question is, how many officers and soldiers in this battalion will fight out?
Even Qu Tuquan ignored Gao Ren's urging at this time.
"Duke Qi, may I ask where is the imperial edict of King Qin?"
Qin Jun took out a scroll and raised it.
"That must be false, they dare to pretend to be rebellious..." Before Gao Ren finished speaking, Gao Fu, who was standing behind him, had already swung his knife and chopped off his head. class.
shocked the audience.
Gao Hu retracted the knife, regardless of the blood splashed all over his body.
Loudly said to the soldiers of Shenji Battalion, "I just came out of the palace, and I can prove that what Duke Qi said is true, Gao Hu and others murdered the saint..."
At this time, no one is going to investigate why Gao Fu, the son of Xuanhui envoy Gao Hu, will suddenly turn against him during his internal affairs, and even his righteous brother Gao Ren, the lieutenant of Zuo Shenji Army, was killed.
Qu Tuquan's expression remained unchanged, he smiled, "Duke Gao is loyal."
"Open the door!"
The captains and soldiers in front of the Shenji camp opened the door without saying a word, and no one in the camp made trouble.
The prestige of the Qin family, coupled with that of the Cheng family, the Niu family and the Wei Chi family's, Gao Fu's defection at a critical time, and Qu Tuquan's attitude, all made the thousand soldiers of the Zuo Shenji camp directly become Qin Wangjun .
"Open the Armor Warehouse, take all the armor sticks and equipment, and fight against the king!"
A moment later, Qu Tuquan took a thousand soldiers from Zuo Shenji Battalion, Qin Juncheng Chumo, and more than 300 soldiers under their command who had rearmed with left Shenji Battalion armor, and quickly headed for Right Shenji Battalion.
The Zhonglang of Youshenji Camp is Zhou Boyu, who is also a descendant of the general and a relative of the royal family.
His father is Zhou Daowu, who was born in the Zhou family in Runan. So Zhou Daowu was raised in the court as the son of a meritorious official when he was young, and when he grew up, Li Mengjiang, the daughter of Shang Shengzu and Concubine Wei, Princess Linchuan.
Zhou Shaofan was a relatively low-key person, but he was a confidant of the holy ancestor. He once served as a general of the imperial guards, and later left the town of Guangzhou and died in office.
Zhou Shaofan was the emperor's confidant who used to share the same palm with Fang Xuanling back then, even earlier than Hou Junji, Zhang Liang and the others participated in the government. Unfortunately, he died in Guangzhou, and his successor was none other than Qin Lang.
Qin Lang and the Zhou family had an intimate relationship. Back then, he and Zhou Shaofan were nine riders who followed the emperor out of the Weishui River, and they successively visited Guangzhou. When Zhou Shaofan had an accident, he helped take care of the funeral, not to mention that Zhou Daowu was ordered by his father to follow Qin Lang. Solicit streams.
Zhou Daowu once called Qin Lang's elder brother, so Zhou Boyu and Qin Jun are considered to be of the same generation.
His mother is the daughter of Concubine Wei Gui, so she is related to Empress Wei. When Webster was in favor, Zhou Boyu was promoted to be the general of Youshenji Camp.
Gao Hu and the others felt that Zhou Boyu could be trusted and cooperated.
Who knew that when Qin Lang came to the door to shout, Zhou Boyu directly chopped down the right Shenji Army Lieutenant Gao Qi beside him, and then responded proactively.
The soldiers in the Youshenji Battalion also responded quickly.
The two battalions of gods gathered and headed all the way to Xuanwu Gate. On the way, they encountered several battalions such as Baiqi battalion, Qianqi battalion, and Feiqi battalion. , or close the gates of the camp.
Qin Jun ignored them, as long as they didn't block the way.
When they came all the way to the Xuanwu Gate, Cheng Chumo, Niu Jianwu and the others just glanced at the high palace gate and countless battalions of guards who were on the verge of a formidable enemy, and then asked Zhou Boyu and Qu Tuquan to follow God The firearms brought by Jiying moved over, ready to attack Xuanwu Gate directly.
Suddenly, there was chaos at the Xuanwu Gate.
Swords clash, bows and arrows ring.
Not long after, the Xuanwu Gate was opened, and Liu Rengong, the lieutenant of the Zuoqianniu Army, rode out with his blood-stained armor.
"Liu Rengong has been waiting here for a long time, please quickly follow me into the palace to beg against the traitors!"
The two or three thousand people outside the palace were all stunned on the spot.
Only Qin Jun stepped forward with a smile and crossed his hands in thanks, "Grandfather Liu Gaoyi, today's Jingluan should be the first achievement."
Gao Fu looked at Liu Rengong and Qin Jun, feeling cold in his heart, thinking that he was hiding something deep, but he didn't expect that Liu Rengong, a lieutenant of the forbidden army, was already a member of the Qin family. It's ridiculous that Gao Hu and the others still want to control the emperor , supported the establishment of the prince to supervise the country, and then controlled the government.
"Enter the palace, Jing Luan!"
Qin Jun was in front of Xuanwu Gate, his horse raised his horse, and he was full of energy.
Two or three thousand King Qin's soldiers and horses entered the palace through the Xuanwu Gate. Near the north gate, dozens of corpses were thrown down.
However, Qin Jun and others could no longer be seen pouring into the palace.
Qin Li Qin Huaidao personally led hundreds of troops, sat in the Xuanwu Gate, and ordered the palace gate to be closed tightly, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
