Chapter 982: Stalemate
Late at night on the eighth day of the second lunar month. Xiao Pi, Peng Shijun, and Liang Guogong Ning Shuo's forced palace on Empress Zhen and the crown prince ended hastily as Feng Ziying led the Beijing camp to attack the infantry camp from the flank and rear.
In the dormitory of the Heart Cultivation Palace, bright candles burn, illuminating the beds, curtains, treasure pavilions, tables and chairs, and coffee tables.
Queen Zhen Yi sat in a chair with a bright yellow mattress on the edge of the bed, her pretty face was angry, and her chest was heaving. She was very angry.
What kind of bastard words did Xiao Pi, Peng Shijun, and Ning Shuo say just now? It's infuriating.
If I change to a woman, I am afraid that I will cry in front of the bed of Yongxing Tianzi now! It is very uncomfortable to feel that a person's dignity is trampled on! However, Zhen Yi has experienced the "destruction" of the Zhen family, and she can hold on!
Ning Yan cried quietly. Although he is young, he is already sensible. The attitude of those people frightened him.
Yuan Qi, the chief eunuch, comforted in a low voice, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't cry. With the eldest princess here, those people can't succeed. You see, aren't they all out? ”
Queen Zhen was contemplating under the lamp, her eyes were sharp in her bright eyes, and there was a heroic spirit between her eyebrows. Today's things must not be good!
…
…
In the night, the situation changed not as Queen Zhen thought.
The battle outside the Daming Palace did not give the royalists an advantage because of the addition of the Beijing camp!
The main defense of the guard in front of the palace is the complex of the Yangxin Palace, the palace gate of the Daming Palace, and the passages are occupied by the infantry battalion. Subsequently, Feng Ziying commanded 3,000 men from the Fenwu Battalion to attack the infantry battalion from the flank and rear. Out of the blue. and sent people to the city, Beijing Ying, and the battalion to transfer the remaining 5,000 soldiers and horses to help.
However, in the plan of Zhancheng Hou and others, although it was determined that Jingying would not send troops, they still made plans to fight. Who would be foolish enough to ignore the existence of the 8,000-strong Fenwu battalion?
As the commander of the Nine Gates and the soldiers and horses under the command of the general Zhang Sishui, the infantry battalion is well-equipped and well-trained. Although he was attacked by the Beijing camp, he had the advantage of numbers, and after the exchange of fire with the Beijing camp, the situation gradually tended to be balanced.
In a short period of time, if there are casualties, neither side can help the other.
The situation of the entire battlefield, if you look at it from the sky, is the palace group of the palace in front of the palace guard. The infantry camp is encircled, and the outer part is the Beijing camp, and the flank is the infantry camp.
In the infantry barracks, except for the cronies of Zhanchenghou, the thinking in the army is not unified. And in the middle of the night, once the battle starts, it is not so easy to stop. Especially after being bombarded by the Beijing camp.
To be precise, it is not that the commander of the infantry battalion, Zhanchenghou, completely controls the 15,000 people in the infantry battalion, which is impossible. The middle and low-level officers in the army are basically from the martial arts hall, and they are all protégés of the Son of Heaven. Rather, the city was held hostage by these 15,000 people.
Empress Zhen wants to "severely punish" Xiao Pi, Peng Shijun and others who forced the palace, but they can't yet.
…
…
In the side hall of the Qinzheng Palace, with the battle outside the Daming Palace, the atmosphere was depressed and tense!
Most of the people who remain here are neutral officials. Such as Shen Cheng, the king of Xincheng, Li Shangshu of the military department and others. No matter which side of the coup wins tonight, there will be no problems with their safety, their families, their official positions.
Zeng Jin, a scholar, and Yin Peng negotiated the current situation in a quiet room behind the side hall.
After discussing it for a long time, there was still no solution. Zeng Jin drank tea, frowning.
The Son of Heaven took his hand to support Gu, he must be loyal to the Son of Heaven Yongxing. Even if the army will kill him, he will not change his mind! This is the backbone of a minister who should be a minister. However, as the ruling Jaesuke, he is powerless to solve the current predicament!
Princess Yongqing didn't believe him, and discussed with Ning Ru and King Beijing in another room. Xiao Pi and Peng Shijun won't listen to him and stop there. Tonight's coup d'état, as soon as the cannon goes off, it will be difficult to be good!
…
…
You have more than 10,000 soldiers, and I will let you splash your blood in five steps.
Although Ning Xiao controlled the life and death of all the ministers who entered the side hall of the Qinzheng Hall with the brocade guard, after entering the second half of the night, she was still very "considerate" and allowed them to go to the quiet room and court room outside the side hall to discuss alone.
In a court room on the east side of the Qinzheng Palace, Ning Ru, the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu, King Beijing, Cai Yi, Ji Cheng, Wei Yuanzhen, Ning Cheng, King of Yue, Yang Jiantian, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and others gathered here to discuss countermeasures.
Obviously, with the political wisdom of many temple bigwigs, it is easy to see that the Bu military camp is being coerced. But now the question is, who can pardon the sins of the soldiers of the infantry battalion who have in fact rebelled?
If it is a double migration in the army of the national dynasty, Zhang Sishui is here, of course he can do it. They have such prestige in the army.
Counting on the Zuo Governor of the King of Beijing, the Governor of the same knowledge of Shi Guangzhu, and the King of Xiping County to come forward to appease, the soldiers at the bottom of the army will definitely not sell their accounts. Moreover, at night, the black lights are blind, and it has no effect to come forward to appease. It's best to wait until daylight.
Ning Cheng's face was a little narrow, his age was only one year younger than Ning Xi, the son of Yongxing Heaven, it was early in the morning, his eyes were red, and he said ventingly: "Mr. Jia's decision to 'absorb' the New Wuxun Group that day was really a wrong decision. If they had been suppressed earlier, where would there be today? ”
Ning Cheng is a student of Jia Huan and the younger brother of Princess Yongqing, he dares to say this, and others are not easy to accept.
King Beijing smiled bitterly and shook his head.
The political compromise of the day was that the old Wuxun clique fully supported Jia Huan's coup d'état and supported the establishment of King Yan. And the feedback is that the old Wuxun group is the dominant one in the army. Later, Jia Huan reached an agreement with Cheng Guogong and others to absorb the new Wuxun group into the army by means of marriage and martial arts.
Zhan Chenghou is the face character who is pushed out. Therefore, he is the commander of the infantry barracks. I didn't expect this person to be ambitious and get mixed up with Peng Shijun.
Ning Ru's eyes were calm, he put down the teacup in his hand, and asked, "How did the eldest princess talk to the King of Shu over there?" ”
Not long ago, the eldest princess revealed to him in private: Jia Huan is coming. The current stalemate is conducive to stalling for time.
…
…
On the east side, there is a quiet room behind the room. Beautifully furnished. It is used by the great eunuchs here in Daming Palace.
Princess Ning Xiao of Yongqing was dressed in pink palace clothes, bright and tall, and Ning Ke, the king of Shu, was in the quiet room, talking.
With the friendship between Ning Xiao and Ning Ke, the king of Shu, it was quite embarrassing to meet in such an environment. The two are now on opposite sides.
Ning Xiao's bright Danfeng eyes fell on Ning Ke's mature and handsome face, sighed softly, and said, "Ninth brother, why is this so?" ”
Ning Ke felt a little guilty in his heart. Because of the current situation, although it is a stalemate, it is very dangerous for Ning Xiao. If the infantry battalion attacks the Heart Cultivation Hall regardless of losses, it may not be impossible to break through after a few hours.
And Ning Xiao died to protect Empress Zhen, the crown prince, who was the core figure of the royalist party. Xiao Pi, after Peng Shijun gains power, I am afraid her ending will not be too good.
Ning Ke let out a long sigh, avoiding her bright and beautiful eyes, and said, "Alas..., Sister Xiao, after all these years, I just want to seek justice for my mother." ”
persuaded again: "Sister Xiao, Peng Shangshu and Xiao Xiang asked me to come over and spread the word, promising that as long as you agree to end the current stalemate, they will guarantee your safety." ”
He also wanted to get a good result for Xiaomei, so he agreed.
Ning Xiao elegantly picked up the teacup, smiled, beautiful and gratuitous, and asked rhetorically, "How to guarantee it?" "Brother Jiu is still too naïve to see the essence of the coup!
A coup d'état is not about love, it's not about having a meal, it's about bloodshed and killing! This was the case at the time of Jia Huan's coup, and it is the same with today's coup. Where is there any compromise, where is there security? Winner takes all!
