Li Yanqing took the booklet and looked at it, put it aside again, and said with a smile: "You just talk about it briefly!" ”

"The humble position found that the Emperor Taishang was taking the two roads of the civil attack and the military strategy, with the news of the destruction of the Western Xia coming to Lin'an as the dividing line, before the Emperor Taishang was going to take the cultural offensive route, that is, after getting the support of most of the officials of the imperial court, he directly abolished the current day, this road was originally very smooth, half of the Xiangguo of the Zhizheng Hall supported him, and there were many officials from important provinces and Taiwan, but after the news of the destruction of the Western Xia came out, the situation immediately reversed, and the ministers supported the current day, and only less than one percent of the officials continued to support the Emperor Taishang."

"What other important officials supported him?" Li Yanqing interjected.

"After observing for a long time, it is basically certain that Huang Qianshan, Wang Boyan and Du Chong are his henchmen, and Qin Hui came last night, but the Emperor Taishang did not see him, the specific reason is unknown, and he left soon."

Li Yanqing paced back and forth with his hands down, estimating that Qin Hui was the first rat at both ends, both sides wanted to bet on the treasure, and in the end both sides couldn't believe him, Zhao Ji refused to see Qin Hui, obviously Zhao Ji didn't want to make trouble at this time, which means that it is now a critical moment.

From this trivial matter, Li Yanqing was keenly aware that Zhao Ji was very likely to make a move during the canonization of the crown prince, of course, Li Yanqing had already been vigilant, otherwise he would not have brought troops into Beijing.

"Go on!" Li Yanqing asked Yang Qu to continue.

Yang Qu continued: "Now that the Emperor Taishang has obviously turned to Wu Luo, according to the observation of his humble position, the military generals who went to the Hidden Dragon Palace to meet the Emperor Taishang can already be compared with the civil official tide before the destruction of Xia, and it is becoming more and more frequent, even yesterday before Qin Hui, Miao Fu also came out of the Hidden Dragon Villa. “

"Miao Fu!"

Li Yanqing was taken aback, "You mean that the nine gates are all under the control of Miao Fu?" ”

"It's him!"

Li Yanqing began to realize that the problem was serious, if Zhao Ji only controlled the peripheral army, it would be fine, but now that even the army in the city is under control, then the palace coup is basically secure.

In this case, what are Zhao Ji waiting for?

Li Yanqing walked a few steps, and he suddenly understood that Zhao Ji was waiting for him to enter Beijing.

After pondering for a moment, Li Yanqing picked up the report on the table and handed it to Zhang Shun, "Copy a copy, immediately hand it over to Xiangguo Gao Shen, and let him pass it on to the Son of Heaven, this matter must not be delayed, it will be sent to Gao Shen tonight." ”

．．．．．．．．

Near the Wuling Gate of Lin'an Mansion, there is a small mansion covering an area of about two acres, which is the residence of Liu Zhengyan, the former deputy commander of the palace, but even if this two-acre mansion is concerned, the price has risen to 40,000 yuan, and Liu Zhengyan's income is absolutely unaffordable. Therefore, this small mansion was also rented by him at his expense, which cost him nearly half of his money every month, so that his family was very poor, he could not afford to hire a servant, and even his wife had to wash her own clothes.

Liu Zhengyan's father was Liu Fa, a famous general in the Northwest, who died in the Western Xia Campaign, he was very prestigious in the Northwest Army, honest and honest, and loved soldiers like a son, although such a father brought Liu Zhengyan great prestige, but on the other hand, he could not leave any property to his children, so that his son was in a very difficult situation in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty.

In Liu Zhengyan's study, there was a high-ranking official sitting at this time, it was Huang Qianshan, the right man of Shangshu, who put a letter on the table and pushed it to Liu Zhengyan, "This is a handwritten letter from the Emperor Taishang, take a look at it yourself!" ”

Liu Zhengyan didn't open the letter, but he didn't return it either, he was now in an extreme contradiction, he knew very well why the Emperor Taishang was looking for him, it was for the sake of his three thousand palace guards.

There are a total of 5,000 palace guards in the palace, commanded by two generals, one is the deputy commander Zhang Wei, and the other is himself, and their superiors are the same person, that is, Wang Yuan, the commander of the palace.

Wang Yuan is the confidant of Zhao Gou, the Son of Heaven, and he is the person who the Emperor Taishang can never dig up, so if the Emperor Taishang poachs himself and Zhang Wei, he is drawing a salary from the bottom of the kettle, what is the point of Wang Yuan who has no soldiers?

Of course, Wang Yuan was the leader of the forbidden army, commanding more than 100,000 new forbidden troops in Lin'an Mansion and its periphery.

The reason why Liu Zhengyan didn't answer the letter on the table was because he was more concerned about things other than letters, such as what is the attitude of his colleague Zhang Wei now? For example, how many people have been taken away by the Emperor Taishang now? Also, what price did the Emperor Taishang offer himself?

Liu Zhengyan put the price in the last place, which seems unimportant, but in fact it is the opposite, and now he is more hungry for money than ever.

The landlord found him at noon today and asked for an increase of 20% of the rent, which means that the last servant in his family will be sent away, which means that there will be no more meat on the table at home.

Huang Qianshan saw Liu Zhengyan's hesitation, he looked up at the house and said with a smile: "This house is still too small, not in line with General Liu's identity!" It's better to sell this house and add some money to buy a bigger house in the north of the city, and live more spacious. ”

Liu Zhengyan's face was swollen and red, and he said for a while: "This is not my house, and I am also renting it temporarily." ”

Huang Qianshan's eyes widened, "The dignified deputy commander of the palace doesn't even have his own house?" ”

Liu Zhengyan couldn't hold back his face, and hurriedly explained: "It's not that I can't afford it, it's mainly because I want to apply for an official house, so I temporarily rent it for two years." ”

Huang Qianshan smiled, "It's very difficult to apply for an official residence!" As far as I know, even the four-rank civil officials can't apply, let alone the military generals, even if it's the turn of the military generals, the control of the foreign people is preferred! ”

Liu Zhengyan was silent, saying that applying for an official residence was originally self-deception, and this issue really could not be discussed any further.

At this time, Huang Qianshan saw that the time was ripe, took out a thick envelope, put it on the table and pushed it over, "This is a little bit of the emperor's heart, inside is a house covering an area of 20 acres by the West Lake, and there are 50,000 taels of silver, after the matter is completed, another 10,000 taels of gold will be rewarded, and the Duke of Liangguo will be sealed, and the Xihe Road will be sealed, this is your father's official position, how, the sincerity of the emperor should be enough!" ”

Liu Zhengyan was silent for a moment, and finally picked up the letter on the table with trembling hands, he could not refuse such conditions, every condition stabbed him to the core, the house, the money, the status, and the glory of the ancestors, all of which the son had no intention of giving him at all.

Huang Qianshan's eyes narrowed with a smile, he finally took out the general's allegiance statement to support the restoration of the Emperor Taishang, he opened the statement and put it in front of him, this is the condition, sign it and draw a pledge, so that Liu Zhengyan can no longer get off the boat.

Liu Zhengyan silently looked at the names on it, there were twenty-four people, and the generals around Lin'an Mansion were basically included, and he found the name of Zhang Wei, the deputy commander of the capital, on it, and he was actually ranked third.

Liu Zhengyan suddenly found that he was the last real general around Lin'an Mansion who was not loyal to the Emperor, he looked at Huang Qianshan in a little surprise, Huang Qianshan nodded with a smile: "You are indeed the last link, in fact, whether you sign or not, the restoration of the Emperor is a foregone conclusion, but the Emperor Taishang hopes to be more perfect, let the officials take a look, what is the rebellion of the people?" ”

Liu Zhengyan sighed, "The official family is indeed too neglectful of us military attachés. ”

He finally did not hesitate any longer, took up the pen and signed his name on the declaration of allegiance, and pressed his handprint.

Huang Qianshan was overjoyed, Liu Zhengyan's surrender meant that the last link of the mutiny was buttoned, no matter what, Zhao Gou couldn't turn over this time.

．．．．．．．

Gao Shen once again came to the palace in the middle of the night, and the guards had already received an order, as long as Gao Xianggong came to meet the Son of Heaven, no matter how late it was, he had to report, and immediately a guard rushed into the palace.

At this time, it was already one watch, and Zhao Gou, the son of heaven, had just fallen asleep, and he was also busy with the appointment of the crown prince in the past few days, and he was exhausted.

However, hearing Gao Shen's urgent request to see him, Zhao Gou immediately got up, he estimated that there should be the latest news from Li Yanqing.

In the warm pavilion, Zhao Gou yawned lightly, and looked at a report presented to him by Gao Shen, this report was naturally a copy of Li Yanqing asked Zhang Shun to copy, a collection of various information about the Emperor Taishang.

However, Zhao Gou was already a little uninterested, and a large part of the records before the fall of Western Xia in this information were outdated and meaningless.

After the fall of Western Xia, he and his father had reached an agreement that his father would no longer seek to restore the throne, and it was necessary for him to report to his father on major military affairs, and at the same time, to meet his father's daily living expenses to the greatest extent.

Zhao Gou is quite satisfied with this agreement, he knows that it is impossible for his father to completely withdraw from the circle of power, which is not true, and his father only retains the right to know and suggest major military affairs, which is also in line with the current physical condition of his father.

As for his father's desire to increase expenses, it was even more of a problem, and Zhao Gou immediately generously doubled his father's expenses on the original basis, even exceeding himself.

So far, he is still negotiating with his father the boundaries of major military affairs, and the two sides have basically reached a consensus that whether it is a major military affairs affairs will be decided by the Zhizheng Hall.

Zhao Gou casually threw the report aside and asked, "Where is Li Yanqing now?" ”

Compared with the report itself, Zhao Gou is more concerned about Li Yanqing's current situation.
