Qiming 1158

Chapter 1139 Yang Tingxiu, don't blame me
In a short period of time, the three princes were all under control, and their families were all arrested by Shen Gai.

From the white hair down to the drooping child, everyone was caught and brought into the palace, and no one was spared.

All of Zhao Tan's immediate family members were brought under control.

At the same time, all remaining Zhao Tan and Zhao Gou's harem concubines, sons, and daughters in the entire palace were controlled by Shen Gai and controlled in the East Palace.

When everyone had arrived, Shen Kai then announced in front of them the edict that Zhao Tan was abolished from the throne, and then read out the edict that abolished Zhao Tan's status as crown prince, and then read out the edict that Zhao Dun on the sickbed was the new emperor. .

Zhao Su and Zhao Kai, who were tied up by Wu Hua, were shocked, and Zhao Tan, who was tied up and tightly controlled, was even more furious.

"Shen Gai! You traitor! Traitor! I want to kill you! Kill you!!!!"

Although Zhao Tan couldn't move because of Wu Hua Da, his mouth was not sealed. Zhang Shi shook his head and went up with a displeased expression, and simply blocked his mouth with a piece of cloth.

"The official family should stop talking, otherwise it will be of no benefit to the official family!"

Seeing this, Zhao Su and Zhao Kai were furious, and scolded Zhang Shi loudly regardless of their own danger.

Zhao Dun was ill and could not make a sound, but just stared at Zhang Shi with his eyes fixed.

Zhang Zhi didn't care about this, and immediately stepped forward to block Zhao Su and Zhao Kai's mouths with a rag, and the world suddenly became quiet.

As a result, their family members began to cry loudly again, and they couldn't help Zhang Shi, so they pulled out their knives and pointed at Zhao Su and Zhao Kai, whose mouths were gagged.

"Whoever dares to cry again, as long as they make a sound, I will poke a hole in them! I will do what I say!"

When the royal family saw this, they all shut their mouths in horror, not daring to say a word, and the young children were covered with their mouths.

It was only at this time that they realized that the honors of the past were like a mirror, and it was meaningless. In front of the coup army, everything about them was in the hands of others. The feeling of this exchange of identities made them very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable. of suffering.

In the past, they were high and powerful people, but now, they have become prisoners, and they can't even control their own lives.

This feeling is very uncomfortable.

Shocked by the royal family in the palace, Zhang Shi nodded towards Shen Gai.

Shen Kai also nodded.

A hasty coup d'état completed the first phase of the process under these circumstances, with great success.

Most of Zhao Gou and Zhao Tan's relatives have been taken down, and the remaining collateral royal family living outside the palace are not important roles, and it is completely okay to deal with them later.

After that, Shen Gai ordered that Zhao Tan, Zhao Su, and Zhao Kai be imprisoned in the East Palace together with a large number of men, women and children, and Shen Gai personally arranged for someone to supervise them.

Tightly regulated.

The third prince, Zhao Dun, was forced to put on the emperor's crown suit and put on the emperor's throne when he was seriously ill and had no power to resist. The third emperor of the dynasty.

He tried to resist, but his weak body really couldn't let him make an ineffective resistance like Zhao Su or Zhao Kai.

However, he was really dishonest and tried his best to resist this insult and control. It was useless for Shen Ging to persuade him for a long time, he was tired of it.

So he immediately had the imperial physicians who had been under control called over, and forced the imperial physicians to boil a medicine that could paralyze the body and could only be slaughtered by others.

After drinking these medicines, Zhao Dun will be completely powerless, and he will temporarily become a crippled person with paralyzed hands and feet, who can only be at their mercy.

And all this was carried out under the watchful eyes of the bound Yu Yunwen.

Yu Yunwen's eyes were completely cracked, his face flushed red, and his roar was hoarse, even if his mouth was gagged, his voice could not be completely blocked.

If eyes could kill, Shen Qi and the others would have been smashed to ashes by him.

But he couldn't, he could only watch the Zhao Song royal family he wanted to defend was wantonly manipulated by rebellious thieves, and his dignity was trampled under his feet and smashed.

After Zhao Dun was automatically made emperor, several imperial edicts were automatically issued immediately.

First, all positions of Yu Yunwen were removed and he was abolished as a commoner. All of his positions were succeeded by Shen Gai, who became the Pingzhang military state affairs, Lin'an city defense envoy and privy envoy of the Song Dynasty, and Zhang Ji took over the position of deputy privy envoy. Lu Yongyan took over the position of deputy city defense envoy, and Zhou Linzhi took over the position of Shangshu Zuocheng.

Second, Yang Wanli, the former deputy envoy of the city defense, and Hu Quan, the former deputy envoy of the Privy Council, were both guilty of treason and should be arrested immediately. If they resist, they will be shot.

Thirdly, Chen Junqing, former Minister of Military Affairs, Wang Shipeng, Minister of Industry, Wang Dabao, Minister of Rites, and others also committed treason and were immediately dismissed and arrested. If they resisted, they would be shot.

Fourth, the Lin'an army immediately stopped resisting, agreed to all the terms of the Ming Kingdom's peace talks, and strived to stop the war and restore the situation of good-neighborliness and friendship between the two countries. Never start a war.

After the four edicts were promulgated, Zhao Dun watched Shen Gai put the emperor's seal on it one by one, and gave it legal effect.

After the imperial edict was covered with a jade seal, Shen Gai breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that everything was about to come to an end.

The next task is to wipe out them all and seize the military power without the main battle faction currently in control of the military power not paying attention.

This process is risky.

In particular, the current control of the city defense army is still in the hands of Yang Wanli, who is still behind. At present, the power balance between the entire coup force and the main battle force is still disproportionate, and the main battle force occupies an absolute military advantage.

Zhang Shi and Lu Yongyan volunteered to do the most risky thing—removing the post and military power of Yang Wanli, the deputy envoy of the city defense, controlling the army on the city wall, and controlling the city defense situation.

"This move is quite dangerous, and it is related to all arrangements in the future. You must be careful. The success or failure of the present depends on this one move."

"Here!"

Zhang Shi and Lu Yongyan nodded to show their understanding.

Then they wore official uniforms and took a group of banned soldiers to the front line of the city defense, and asked where Yang Wanli was, saying that the emperor had something to look for Yang Wanli.

At that time, Yang Wanli was doing another inventory of supplies on the city wall, preparing for the decisive battle with the Ming army that was coming tomorrow. He suddenly felt a little strange when he heard that the emperor was going to summon him.

Didn't Yu Yunwen go before?Problem not solved?Still need him?

Yang Wanli was unprepared for people coming from the palace, so he met the palace messenger in the house.

Then, when he saw Zhang Shi, he was surprised.

"Zhang Jingfu? Why are you here? You... When did you change jobs?"

Yang Wanli clearly remembered that the position held by Zhang Shi was separated from the palace messenger by [-] miles, and it was not his turn to convey the emperor's orders.

Zhang Shi laughed.

"Yang Tingxiu, don't blame me, we have different positions, each has its own master, there is no way, Yong Yan, do it!"

As soon as the voice fell, Yang Wanli hadn't reacted yet, Lu Yongyan drew his knife and sealed Yang Wanli's throat with one knife.

Yang Wanli looked at Zhang Xun in disbelief, and quickly covered his neck, but he couldn't stop the blood spurting out, bursts of severe pain, and the gradual loss of strength.

He knelt on the ground, fell forward, twitched a few times, and stopped moving.

Yang Wanli died under Lu Yongyan's knife like this, unable to make a sound.

The surrounding clerks were terrified, but before they could shout, they were all slashed to death by the soldiers of the Imperial Army who followed.

"Send the order, and call all the senior officers in the city defense army for a meeting."

Zhang Shi sat on the chair where Yang Wanli used to be, Lu Yongyan wiped his knife, put it in its sheath, and stood beside Zhang Shi.
