Chapter 177: Coup d'état

Wang Yinghua's mansion.

There were only four people in the secret room, and in addition to Su Guansheng, Wang Yinghua and He Wusu, the two people who were most closely related to the Tang Dynasty.

The next hand sat a middle-aged man with a long beard and five short figures, although his identity was only a pen official in the Tang Palace, but he was Zhu Yuao's confidant, and it was on behalf of the Tang King that he was here.

"If you want to do great things, you must complement each other." Su Guansheng gestured out two fingers, "One is the court." Although most of the officials in the DPRK and China will maintain a neutral attitude, there will also be pedantic and stubborn people who ignore the general interests of society and foolishly obstruct the advancement of the country. ”

He looked at the few people in front of him, "Therefore, key places such as the cabinet, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War all need to be held by their own people."

"At the speed of the car that has been driven, it may be five or six days later to Tianxing Mansion. The Tang Dynasty now has the responsibility of supervising the country, and immediately issued an order to transfer the candidates in key places, and they should be properly placed before the major events. ”

He Wufu nodded and said: "Huang Daozhou, Yang Tinglin and others on the cabinet side are all there, and I and the Su Pavilion Department, Li Guangchun, Zeng Ying, and a few people who have no opinions, are already under the control of the Lord of the Prison State. It's not a problem on the side of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which was mostly filled with people from the Zheng Party before, but now that the Zheng Party has been won, most of the people who have filled it are people who are in charge of the country. ”

Wang Yinghua frowned and continued: "The officials are the most important, but if they want to move, they will definitely blame Huang Daozhou." ”

Su Guansheng snorted disdainfully, "He has long been a person who has been a descendant, what is there to worry about?" ”

"That's easy." Wang Yinghua said, "It happens to be not in Tianxing Mansion, and it can be transferred to the Ministry of Industry." Is it feasible to change the Su Pavilion Department to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Officials? ”

Su Guansheng smiled slightly, and immediately reciprocated, "And on the side of the household department, He Kai is just a clear stream with no foundation, and he will be transferred to the criminal department." The key points of the Ministry of Officials should be in charge of the Ministry of Cabinets. As for the Ministry of Rites......"

He looked at Wang Yinghua, "Lord Wang is taking advantage of the situation with the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, which is appropriate." ”

Wang Yinghua hurriedly waved his hands and said: "The lower officials should go all out." ”

"It's just that the military department is a little troublesome," Su Guansheng said again, "Yang Tinglin has Jiangxi in his hands and has a heavy army, so he can only try to recruit as much as possible, but he can't move his position in the military department."

"Fortunately, he and the squire of the military department are not in the court, so they will not hinder the affairs of the state. When the big thing is set, he can only follow the general trend. ”

After arranging the affairs of the court, he looked at the pen official in the Tang Palace, and saw that he was just listening with his head down, and knew that the Tang King should have no objections, so he continued: "Outside the court, the second is called the imperial camp." Zeng Hou has Huang Mingjun and Jiang Zhengxi beside him, although he was ambushed by the thief army a few days ago, there are still about 1,400 horses left.

"My Xinwei army is only 1,000 people, plus the palace guards, there are only more than 1,200, and at that time, we need to keep an eye on the gates of Tianxing Mansion, and we have to control the palace ban, and the military strength is still insufficient. Or you can immediately recruit soldiers in Tianxing Mansion and use them temporarily, but the time is a little short......"

Wang Yinghua immediately bowed his hand and said: "There are some ways to transfer troops. He smiled proudly, "Lianjiang garrisoned Cao Hongzu with nearly 3,000 troops. Although he first invested in Zheng's family, he was not reused by Zheng Zhilong, so he always had it in mind. If the subordinate has an old relationship with him, if he is told that the important land of Xianxia Pass has been lost, and the captive army is in danger, it should be said that he led the army to vote. ”

Lianjiang is very close to Tianxing Mansion, and if you march in a hurry, you can arrive in less than three days, Su Guansheng was overjoyed when he heard this, "There is Lord Wang who has transferred this army, what are you worried about?"

"I have many old friends in Guangdong, if Ding Kuichu is allowed to be a high lord, it can be said that he will move the land of the two Guang to serve the Tang Dynasty as the king. As long as there are soldiers and horses in the early stage who can suppress the people of Zeng Hou, when the major event has been decided, Ding Kuichu will lead tens of thousands of troops from Liangguang into Fujian, and there will be no one in the world who dares to be suspicious. "Guangdong borders Fujian in the south, and it only takes more than a month to transfer troops from Guangdong to Fujian.

As he spoke, he looked at the Tang King's confidant and said, "What does Mr. Zhang think?" ”

Mr. Zhang hurriedly said respectfully: "Your Highness's meaning, you can allow Ding Kui to be the king of Wuzhou." ”

Su Guansheng was also shocked when he heard this, and said in his heart that King Tang was really willing to put down his book, so he hurriedly responded: "In this way, Ding Dutang's army is set!" ”

When the two foundations needed for the coup d'état mentioned by Su Guansheng had been agreed, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had seen the majestic scene of the Tang King when he ascended the throne.

"After Cao Hongzu's soldiers enter Tianxing Mansion, he can be appointed to command the soldiers and horses of the five cities, and his troops will be stationed in the capital." He continued to plan, "And His Royal Highness's palace guards and the Xinwei army will be changed to the imperial camp, and Liu Ruolan under my command will be the commander of the imperial camp and stationed in the inner city.

"And Empress Zeng returned to the palace, first blocked Huang Mingjun and Jiang Zhengxi's troops from entering the city, so that Cao Hongzu kept an eye on his subordinates. If not, they were to be taken down in the city on charges of being captive. After that, he was trapped in the harem, guarded by Liu Ruolan.

"The next day, all the officials of Xuantianxing Mansion came to the court, announced the news of the collapse of the first emperor, and His Royal Highness the King of Tang helped the soul to come out of the funeral!"

Speaking of this, his eyes are simply shining. According to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, the person who helped the soul of the first emperor must be the next son of heaven. In other words, at this point, the throne of the Tang Dynasty is ironclad, and there is nothing to turn around.

"Immediately after the funeral, the enthronement ceremony will be held. The Cabinet, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Rites are all my ...... For the people of His Highness, there should be a large number of people who persuade the court. At this moment, the general trend has been achieved, and the centrist officials should not make other discussions, and even if there are those who do not open their eyes, they will be pressed down in a moment. ”

Wang Yinghua was overjoyed when he heard this, and then he was puzzled: "However, why not launch it immediately, but wait until Empress Zeng returns to the palace to do something big?" ”

He Wuyu smiled and said, "The Su Pavilion Department is really resourceful. Although the prince is young, after all, he still has a righteous reputation, if he is not encircled in the palace, he will definitely be used by people with intentions, how can the Zeng family not take the opportunity to make waves? Take advantage of the unpreparedness to prevent future troubles. ”

Righteous name? Su Guansheng secretly pondered these words, suddenly narrowed his eyes, and said: "When the first emperor comes out of the funeral, you can send people to Tianxing Mansion to uncover the post, saying that the identity of the prince is unknown, and some people see that the prince has actually been with the first emperor in southern Fujian, and he was only a beggar who was brought into the palace later." ”

He Wusu and Wang Yinghua glanced at each other, although they felt that Su Guansheng's approach was a little disdainful, but it was indeed a clever plan to attack the prince's righteous reputation, so he nodded and seconded.

He Wufu said again: "In addition, the people of Tianxing Mansion are panicking now, and they are all afraid that the captives will break the city, so they should stabilize the people's hearts and not miss His Highness's plan." ”

Su Guansheng nodded, "The matter of King Chen's seizure of Xianxia Pass and the entry of the Jiangxi army into King Minqin on the same day can be made public, and there will be no panic in Tianxing Mansion." ”

……

Two days later.

He Kaifu, the new secretary of the Criminal Department.

He Kai ordered his subordinates to fetch the good tea he treasured, and said to Zhu Jizuo: "The Zhu Pavilion Department has not come to me for a long time, I don't know what advice you have?" ”

"He Butang still has the heart to taste tea?" Zhu Jizuo said hurriedly, "Don't you think it's strange that you were transferred to the Criminal Department by Wu Ran?" ”

"But why is it strange that He Wusu is just begging for an official in front of the prison country?"

Zhu Jizuo leaned closer and said in a low voice: "Then who can know about the transfer of the palace forbidden and the imperial camp?" ”
