Ouyang Changkong rebelled too hastily, so he didn't have enough manpower to surround the imperial city.

So the emperor's will was sent to the mansions of the royal princes, civil ministers and generals in the capital through the masters of the Yulin guards, but Ouyang Changkong had no effective way to stop it.

In fact, when Ouyang Changkong rebelled, all the royal princes, civil and military ministers, especially those who lived in the northern area of the western part of the capital, reacted. And when Ouyang Changkong led his troops from Xi'an Gate into the imperial city, there were more Manchu civil and military people living in the imperial city, which naturally alarmed more people.

There is no need for the emperor to issue an edict to explain, this group of fritters who have been mixing in the court for many years have already guessed that there must be chaos in the capital.

Those who were usually particularly sensitive to the court were naturally able to roughly guess what might be going on, and even those powerful ministers whose eyes were all over the capital already knew who was doing what. And those ministers with little power and narrow doors are like those ordinary people, and they are very panicked and uneasy in their hearts.

You must know that there has been no chaos in the capital for a long time, even if the eldest prince died suddenly a few years ago, with the intervention of the imperial concubine Luo Ziyan, the capital has not been in chaos, and it has passed that sensitive period quite smoothly.

But now, there is chaos in the capital, and it is directly a rebellion, which is indeed a great surprise to many people.

As reported by the emperor's intelligence chief, there was chaos in the capital, but no princely minister sent troops to support the emperor.

Although the contemporary royal family once specifically proposed in the law after conquering the world, prohibiting any prince and minister from raising private troops, violators will be punished as treason. However, hundreds of years have passed, and the laws of that year have long been reduced to a dead letter in the inaction of the later emperor and the private army of the ministers.

In the capital, who does not have an armed force, it is just a matter of size. Even some low-level military generals, on the one hand, lead the imperial court, and on the other hand, they serve as generals for some top-level civil and military ministers. The emperor actually knows all these things, but if he really strictly follows the law that has not been abolished so far but no one has obeyed it, and punishes the princes and ministers who make mistakes, then more than ninety percent of the people in the court will be purged, which is no less than the royal family being overthrown and the world has been replaced.

Most of the princely ministers did not know what was going on, and a few of them had strange intentions in their hearts to seek some personal gain.

Although the current emperor sits on the dragon chair quite stably, he is not very popular. There are not a few people who have a wait-and-see attitude, and these people are also relatively powerful armed forces in their hands, but they are not afraid that the emperor will turn his face on them.

When those Yulin guards sent the emperor's will to the homes of some princes and ministers, these nobles and lords in the capital were all hypocritical, saying human-like words, but when those Yulin guards left, these princes and ministers were still pressing the masters in the family, without the slightest intention of King Qin.

When many ministers heard that it was the Ouyang family who rebelled, they were all afraid. Who doesn't know that the number one force in the capital besides the imperial family is the Ouyang family, who doesn't know that the current emperor is supported by the Ouyang family, and who doesn't know that the power of the Ouyang family can already be comparable to the imperial power. Going against the Ouyang family is no less than directly rebelling against the emperor, basically the rhythm of who touches and who dies.

Of course, there are still some civil and military generals, after receiving the emperor's will, they really took their family arms to crusade against Ouyang and the thieves. It's just that these Wenchen generals are basically family armed and quite small, but the scale of dozens and hundreds of people, and whether it is from the quality of soldiers or weapons and equipment, they are more than one grade away from the private army of the Ouyang family, so they are naturally not the opponent of the private army of the Ouyang family, and they were wiped out in minutes.
