Chapter 527: The Night of the Coup (Part I)
In Beijing, the night of the ninth day of October was as calm as ever. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Located in the east city of the capital, in the Jing Garden on the shore of Beihu Lake, literati gathered, chanted poems, and talked loudly. Beautiful singers and famous prostitutes play and sing in harmony with pipa, guqin, transverse flute, long flute, etc. As the saying goes: The king of Chu respects his guests and is tireless in the end. Visit the West Garden at night, and celebrities and gentlemen follow. The bright moon clarifies the scene, and the columns are uneven.
King Jin, King Beijing, Duke Cheng and others followed the Son of Heaven in Mulan, Chengde.
On the palace of Prince Shun in the west of the city, the old prince in his fifties is having a banquet with the guests, and the singers from the Jiaofang Division are singing and dancing, and the white-clothed ribbons are like fairies dancing rainbows. A singing and dancing atmosphere.
The abolition of the crown prince is already a foregone conclusion, and the King of Jin, who is good friends with him, has a high probability of becoming the prince, how can he not relax and be in a good mood?
At the Xie University Mansion, Xie University was talking with his favorite concubine. The beautiful concubine is about two years old, with a medium posture, gentle and beautiful. The delicate double-breasted breasts are straight, and the exquisite moon-white kaftan supports the sexual, wonderful shape, which is extremely charming. Moonlit nights, beauties, fragrant tea, chessboards, what a pleasant time?
The Son of Heaven is fortunate to be virtuous, leaving him in charge, and he is in power. The scenery is endless. While Scholar Xie was enjoying a leisurely evening, at the gatehouse of Xie Mansion, a large number of people who wanted to ask to see Scholar Xie were still waiting.
Hour Yongfang, in the house of Scholar He, Scholar He is reading a book in the study. A cup of tea, a charcoal fire, quiet and warm in the book.
Recently, the grandmaster and the great Confucian Fu Bolong in the literary world have debated and each set up a newspaper. In the January edition, he asked his second son to gradually find all the newspapers that were controversial, and many of the comments on the newspapers about the government and characters were very interesting.
On the house of Wei Hong, the head of the household, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, and Wei Kang rested early. Wei Shangshu drove to Chengde. He is a capable minister. The Son of Heaven relied on him to dispatch money and food. Wei Shentong failed again in the township test, and he still studied hard in the study.
In the home of the great Confucian Fu Bolong, several scholars gathered together to discuss the rescue of Fu Bolong. Headed by Fu Bolong's proud disciple Peng Shijun, the word Zhangmin. Shu Jishi was born, and the official was appointed as Shaoqing of Taichang Temple (Zheng Sipin). He was Chinese New Year's Eve at the age of thirty and eight.
When it comes to the prince, everyone is a little helpless.
In Jiafu, the lights gradually went out and quieted down. Mochizuki is in the center, and Jia Huan is gossiping with his wife Baochai. The topic is, of course, an intimate topic between husband and wife.
The two had just bathed together, and Sister Bao had a pleasant fragrance. The plain white single clothes, under the bright candlelight, reflect her peerless face. The face is round and the eyes are almond, and the skin is white and shiny. A beauty with a unique style.
Baochai sometimes blushes and scorns, and sometimes bows her head and smiles. The elegant and indifferent cold beauty, in Jia Huan's arms, is as beautiful as a flower.
Jia Huan has been in a very good mood in recent days, Baochai has come back from the Wuyuan to live, and Xiangyun has stayed in the Wuyuan. She stayed in the Wuyuan Garden for the most part that day, just because she was afraid that Jia Huan would be distracted to take care of her. Now, after the fact, why doesn't she want to accompany her husband? Counting it, in fact, the two have only been married for a little more than three months.
Jia Huan bragged in front of his wife that day: A good strategist has no name. Baochai is making fun of Jia Huan about this.
The two laughed, and at this time, Ying'er came in from outside to tell the time, and the girl was dexterous and charming, and said, "It's already three o'clock, and it's time for the third master and grandma to rest." ”
On such a quiet and beautiful night, time passed slowly and invisibly. The sound of fire and boiling suddenly sounded in the north of the inner city of the capital. There seems to be the sound of horses' hooves.
The unrest has begun!
…
…
The cold moonlight of the early winter night falls on the undulating buildings of the inner city of the capital. A surging torrent poured out from the Liang Wangfu in the north of the inner city. The soldiers and horses patrolling the city at night met, and before they could come to inquire, they were beheaded off their horses.
Blood slowly flowed on the ground. The streets were empty. The flow of people whizzed by.
Qi Jianhui, the Marquis of Xiangyang, took the lead and rushed to the palace with hundreds of dead soldiers, personal soldiers, and slaves. The Donghua Gate slowly opened, the half-hidden vermilion gate, and the faces of several sergeants in the moonlight were blurred, "Quick!" Fast! ”
Outside the East Palace, several forbidden soldiers guarding the prince drew their swords and asked loudly, "Who is it?" In response to them was a firecracker, "Bang! ”
"Rejoice! Death to those who stand in my way! "Zhao Yu, Marquis of Ruyang, flashed out of the fire gun, took the first step, and led the Xianwu Battalion Hu Guerrilla and King Liang directly into the East Palace.
The eunuchs and palace maids scattered to avoid it. The sound of the fire gun resounded in Miyagi, followed by a loud slogan, "Qingjun side!" ”
It's like a rock-shattering shock.
The three characters "Qingjun side" were first seen in "The Legend of the Ram" (one of the versions of the Confucian classic Spring and Autumn Period). New Tang Dynasty Book - Qiu Shiliang Biography: "If it is difficult to control traitors, swear to die on the side of the king." "During the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of the Western Han Dynasty, the rebellion of Tang Anshi, and the battle of Ming Jing, the slogan was "Qing Jun's side".
These three words are another way of saying rebellion.
Prince Ning Pu and Crown Princess Zhen Jing'er were in the bedroom, and they had already heard movement outside. Prince Ning Pu was dressed in gold armor, wearing a long sword at his waist, and he was neatly dressed. Ning Pu's personality is weak, but the matter has come to this point, what else do you need to say?
"Jing'er!" Ning Pu hugged the crown princess. In my heart, all kinds of emotions came up.
Zhen Jing'er's beautiful face was full of tears, she knelt on the ground, said goodbye to the prince, and said in a choked voice: "Your Highness is here, the big thing is important, don't think of my mother and son." If things change, I will follow His Highness under the spring. "Last night the prince consulted with her. However, since ancient times, can there be a deposed prince who has a good death? No.
Ning Pu nodded, took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and strode out. Walking into the hall, King Liang and Marquis of Ruyang welcomed in. King Liang knelt down and cried: "The courtiers are late, and the tired royal brother suffers, and the sin deserves death." ”
Ning Pu first asked the nearly 100 soldiers, King Liang, and Marquis of Ruyang who were following him to get up, and then said loudly: "Father Emperor hunts Chengde and ignores state affairs. The traitorous villain took the opportunity to slander and slander the palace. I'll wait for tonight to invite Qingjun to the side, and return the emperor to Zhou! ”
In China, everything must be famous. As the saying goes, if the name is not right, it is not good. On the side of the Qing monarch, it is the name of the rebellion, the banner. Prince Ning Pu must say this.
"Let's go!"
A group of people surrounded the prince Ning Pu and went north. Ningshou Palace is just north of Ciqing Palace. There is the Emperor Taishang living in it.
In terms of appeal to people and soldiers all over the world, it is natural that the Emperor Taishang, who has been in power for many years, has more appeal. There is also a very important point: the dynasty rules the world with filial piety. In the history books, there is often the Empress Dowager's decree as a banner to determine the throne. And now, there is a living emperor in the palace.
In the dark night, it was once the imperial capital and imperial city admired by all countries, with a magnificent atmosphere and solemnity. However, at this time, murder is everywhere. The shouts of killing continued. Small-scale battles unfold in the Imperial City. The majority of the troops stationed in the imperial city were loyal to the Son of Heaven.
Because of the night, all kinds of information are transmitted slowly and chaotically. In the midst of the chaos, the palace gate of Ningshou Palace was opened.
Later, the cavalry with the will of the Emperor Taishang preached everywhere.
…
…
The capital is divided into the imperial city, the inner city, and the outer city. The inner city is often referred to as the 49 city. From east to west, the straight-line distance is only eleven or twelve miles. The Imperial City is located on the central axis.
Therefore, there was a fire and gunfire in the middle of the imperial city, which was known all over the city. Folded in half, it's actually only four or five miles away. That's more than 2,000 meters. In the capital of a plain area, it is such a silent night, how can this not be known to the whole city?
At four o'clock, in Jiafu, the stewards and servants who kept vigil began to report the strange situation in the imperial city. Jia Huan woke up Qingwen in his sleep, "Third master, third master, wake up quickly." Something big is going on out there. ”
Qingwen made it clear in just a few words. Jia Huan is now in charge of Jia Mansion, and the matter must be reported to him in the end. Moreover, Jia's mother, who was alarmed, was afraid that he would be negligent at a young age, so she also sent someone to remind him. Jia's mother has experienced a lot of things.
Baochai woke up with it, she hadn't slept enough, her beautiful eyes were squinting, supporting her elbows, and she wanted to get up and serve Jia Huan to get dressed. Jia Huan lowered his head and kissed his wife's soft face, and said softly: "No, sister, you sleep with yours, I'll come back when I go to see it." ”
Jia Huan quickly got dressed, and told Qingwen, who only wore a cotton jacket, and ran in to inform him, "Qingwen, go and hide in the bed." On such a cold day, be careful of catching a cold. ”
Jia Huan walked out of the backyard and went to the front yard. At this point, he didn't realize the seriousness of the matter.
