Chapter 193: Mars in the Capital
For half a year, the capital has been under the strict control of the Southwest Army, which is now Longwu and Shenwu, and in fact, the Southwest Military Government headed by Li Xin has replaced the original imperial court.
The small people in the capital still don't feel much, but the civil and military officials in the middle of the court have been in a state of nervousness.
Fortunately, after Li Xin took over the capital, although the officials of the Southwest Group were grabbing power little by little, except for a few of the original officials in the capital, not too many of them died under the butcher's knife of the Southwest Army, and after half a year, they were not as nervous as they were at the beginning.
Anyway, the Son of Heaven on the throne is still the Ji family, and they are all still officials, at most, they will go home, and the family's life is safe, which is enough.
However, these officials can run, and some can't, for example, those with the surname Ji.
The Great Jin Dynasty has been in charge of the world for more than a hundred years, and the Ji surname clan is all over the Great Jin Dynasty, and the Ji surname clan in the capital is the largest, with more than 100,000 people, when Li Xin was in the capital, these people were hiding and trembling, and they didn't even dare to go out, although the court did not do anything to them, but the sharp blade of the Southwest Army was always hanging over their heads, and it could fall down at any time.
But half a year after the Southwest Army entered the city, Li Xin quietly left Beijing.
In the backyard of an ordinary house in Liushufang, four or five middle-aged people gathered together.
One of the middle-aged men in purple stood up and said in a deep voice: "You are of the same clan and clan, I received definite news yesterday that Li Yi has been out of the city for seven or eight days. ”
This middle-aged man's surname is Ji Minglin, he is the former governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and he is also the Duke of Lu Guogong of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Because he has been the governor of the capital for many years, Ji Lin's status in the clan in the capital is quite transcendent, except for the elders in the clan, he has the highest status.
This time the Southwest Army entered Beijing, and Ji Lin was ready to kill him, but the Southwest Army did not do anything to these clans, but just let them go home.
"This is the last chance I have been waiting for, and it is also the last chance for the Ji family."
This Lu Guogong looked at some of the kings of the Guogong County in the capital in front of him, and his face was serious: "Li Reverse Wolf's ambition has been revealed, although the Son of Heaven in the palace is still my Ji family, but the important positions of the Chinese martial arts in the dynasty have all been controlled by the southwest rebellion, and if it continues like this, at most in a year or two, the Sheji artifact will completely fall into the hands of Li Rebellion, and when the time comes, the rivers and mountains will change their surnames, and the dead clan will be wiped out, only in an instant!" ”
"We are all nobles, and at this time, those people with foreign surnames in the court are absolutely unreliable, so we can only rely on ourselves to make a last stand."
Another older sect is Zheng Guogong of the Great Jin Dynasty, he sighed, shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "It is natural to fight, but you also said that the important positions of the Chinese martial arts in the DPRK are all in the hands of Li Rebellion, including the three janitorial guards, the city defense army, and even the Jingzhao Mansion of Jinwuwei, they are already the people of the southwest rebels, there are still Long Wuwei in the capital, there are Shenwuwei outside the city, and the forbidden army is no longer in the hands of the imperial court, I just want to fight, and I can't fight." ”
At the beginning of the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, there were many times of internal strife in the clan, so later the idle of the clan was great, except for the position similar to the Zongfu Zongzheng and the Dadu Governor's Mansion that had to be handed over to the family, other positions were rarely taken care of by the Ji family outside the prince, so although these clans in the capital were rich and had extensive contacts, there was not much authority in their hands.
Even if there were, it was taken away by Li Xin when he entered the city.
Ji Lin's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "At this time, the front naturally can't resist Li Wei, but as long as we can kill the first evil, there will still be a chance to turn the tables." ”
"Li Wei went out of Beijing this time, and brought his only son out, as long as we can kill these two people, Li Wei's vein will be broken, and then there will be chaos within the southwest rebels, except for the so-called Longwuwei Shenwuwei, most of the others in the capital are still people from the imperial court, and then we only need to contact the forbidden army and the old department of the Hanzhong Army Ankang Army, and we will have a chance to turn the tables!"
"Within the Southwest Army, it is not monolithic, without Li Reverse, they may kill each other!"
After all, Ji Lin is a person who has been the governor of the capital, although his ability is not very high, but he is also well arranged.
He gritted his teeth fiercely: "Even if the capital is scorched to the ground, it is better for us to rebuild it than to fall into the hands of traitors." ”
The people who can be called here by Ji Lin to discuss are all well-known figures in the capital clan, and there will be some power in their hands, and when they heard this, a middle-aged man in his thirties immediately got up and said: "The Metropolitan Governor's words are right, I would rather die than be killed." ”
"It's just...... How to kill Li Yi is a problem. ”
Ji Lin took a deep breath and took out a blank piece of paper from his sleeve, he spread out the white paper, only to see three or four lines written on the paper, and the end was ...... It was also stamped with the seal of the Son of Heaven.
"This is the gunpowder prescription that the Son of Heaven secretly summoned me into the palace and handed over to me before the traitor entered Beijing, and in the past few months, I have made some near Gyeonggi."
"In all of you's mansions, there must be some die-hard loyalists, all of them are handed over to me to co-ordinate, and I will arrange the assassination of Li Rebellion, and you will find a way to contact some loyal ministers and righteous people in Beijing to cooperate with me and others."
Saying that, Ji Lin glanced at these clans and said, "You also write down this recipe, if we succeed in this matter, it will be fine, if we fail, you will take this recipe...... Spread all over the world! ”
The former governor gritted his teeth fiercely and said angrily: "I can't let the Li thief steal the artifact with this kind of clever thing, even if I can't win him, after he usurps the throne, there are still countless loyal ministers and righteous people in the world, and when the time comes, with this method, he will be able to break the Li thief into ten thousand pieces!" ”
This gunpowder recipe was handed over to Ji Lin by Yuan Zhao Tianzi, and it is also the hard work of Yuan Zhao Tianzi for several years, although it is not as good as the gunpowder prescription in the southwest, but it already has seven or eight points.
If it is really spread all over the world, the Southwest Army's current huge "technological superiority" will not be very obvious.
When these clans heard this, they immediately stood up and said, "Obey the orders of the Grand Governor!" ”
"Kill Li Rebellion!"
"Kill the charcoal thief!"
………………
Several clans conspired in Willow Square in the evening, and in the evening, the news was sent to Zhao Jia's table, Zhao Jia stared at this information, and then a bright smile appeared on his face.
"Go and ask the two generals, Long Wuwei and Shen Wuwei, to come over to the mansion."
At this time, the three of them all lived in Yongle Fang, and soon the other two people had already arrived, Zhao Jia put this information on the table, and said with a smile: "Those Ji family clans are not very honest, today taking the opportunity of the birthday, Ji Lin Ji Yan and others gathered together, although I don't know what they are discussing, but ......"
"It must be something that is not good for us."
Mu Ying frowned slightly, and snorted: "I said a long time ago to arrest all these people, the Metropolitan Governor was merciful and didn't touch them, these people still dare to be dishonest, don't worry, sir, I will arrest them and throw them in prison, and wait for the Metropolitan Governor to come back and send them down!" ”
Zhao Jia smiled but said nothing.
Li Shuo on the side raised his head slightly and said softly: "If it was such a trivial matter, Zhao Xiang would not have called both of us over." ”
Mu Ying had already stood up, and when he heard the words, he also figured out some taste, he frowned and said, "What does Mr. mean, let them make trouble?" ”
Zhao Jia said with a smile: "Now if these people want to turn the tables, most of them will assassinate the Metropolitan Governor or make a move on the Jing'an Hou Mansion, aren't we worried that there is no reason to use a knife against them?" ”
Mu Yingda frowned.
"But this matter can't be hidden from the Grand Duke, even if we hide it, most of the dark departments under the command of the Grand Governor can also be found out, we pretend not to know, and we want to eat sins from the Grand Duke."
"Besides, in case these people really hurt the Metropolitan Governor......"
The right servant of Shangshu smiled: "Naturally, we can't pretend not to know, let's send a letter to the Metropolitan Governor, saying that someone may want to assassinate him, let the Metropolitan Governor be careful." ”
"We don't have to do anything else, just watch quietly."
Zhao Jia's meaning was very simple, this handful of flames in the capital could have been easily extinguished, but they just wanted to watch him ignite.
The bigger the burn, the better.
Saying that, Zhao Jia looked at Li Shuo and said with a smile: "What does General Li mean?" ”
Li Shuo is Li Xin's younger brother, and of course he has to ask his opinion on this kind of thing.
Li Shuo bowed his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "As long as the Metropolitan Governor is safe, everything is arranged by Zhao Xiang." ”
Prime Minister Zhao Dacheng smiled.
"In this way, I'll wait and see how those Ji family members jump."
