Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Although Lu Zhongheng, Tang Shengzong and the other four were not very good people, they were definitely capable of leading troops in battle.

After all, they were all brave generals who followed Zhu Yuanzhang back then, and each of them had made outstanding military achievements, otherwise they would not have been granted the title of nobility.

At first, they were a little nervous. They thought that it would take some effort to control the Beijing Camp. However, they didn't expect it to be so smooth in the end. They hardly encountered much resistance. Seeing this, they felt a little more at ease.

After several people quickly took control of the various camps in the capital, they attacked the various gates of Jinling City according to the predetermined plan. Everything went so smoothly that it was a little unbelievable.

Even after breaking through the east gate, Lu Zhongheng still couldn't believe it.

The news that the east gate of the capital had been breached soon reached the prime minister's residence. Hu Weiyong, who was in the prime minister's residence, had already put on the dragon robe that he had hidden in the secret room, and walked out of the prime minister's residence with his chest puffed out.

"Greetings, my lord!"

Seeing Hu Weiyong wearing a dragon robe, Lu Zhongheng, who was sitting on the horse, his pupils suddenly contracted, but he quickly reacted, dismounted, and bowed.

Unlike the mutiny during the previous military reform, the people participating in the action tonight were actually very clear about what they were doing, which was rebellion. There was no room for ambiguity.

But being mentally prepared is one thing, and actually seeing it in reality is another.

The sight of that shining dragon robe still caused quite a shock to these soldiers, but fortunately Lu Zhongheng was very good at commanding his troops.

After a brief commotion, the army behind him quickly returned to normal.

Of course, not all the soldiers in the Beijing camp followed. Some of them were tied up in the camp. Those who followed Lu Zhongheng and others at this time were their direct subordinates.

"General Lu, please stand up."

Hu Weiyong personally stepped forward to help Lu Zhongheng up and spoke in a friendly manner.

Lu Zhongheng stood up and briefly reported the previous situation to Hu Weiyong. After listening, Hu Weiyong asked, "Where are the other generals?"

"According to the schedule, we should be entering the city soon." Lu Zhongheng hesitated for a moment and wanted to say something, but in the end he did not speak.

Because according to the distances between the various Beijing camps, the East Camp led by him should not be the first to enter the city. Could it be that the others were hindered when attacking the city? Lu Zhongheng thought to himself, this is the only way to make sense.

Hu Weiyong did not notice Lu Zhongheng's abnormality. He nodded slightly, raised his head and looked across the long Kyoto Avenue, looking towards the palace.

In Hu Weiyong's view, the throne was within his reach.

Such a big commotion tonight would definitely not be hidden from the civil and military officials in Kyoto.

Not all officials were like Lu Zhongheng and his gang, who had gotten on the pirate ship and were unable to get off.

The three shifts of yamen runners in the Kyoto government office, as well as the guards and servants in the mansions of various officials, if they were all gathered together, they would be considered a force.

At this time, the power of the Japanese Red Sleeves Plan was revealed.

These officials simply turned a deaf ear and dumb and refused to help either side. They did this not only because they had so-called "handles" in Hu Weiyong's hands. It was not so easy for officials in the capital to be threatened, not to mention that they just took Japanese women as concubines without knowing it, which was enough to explain.

They did this as the situation dictated, and were actually waiting.

Waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang and Hu Weiyong to decide the winner.

They don't help anyone.

They will help whoever wins.

Anyone who can become an official to this level is not a stupid person.

But sometimes, it is often the so-called cleverness that kills oneself.

For Hu Weiyong, the fact that the civil and military officials did not help either side was already helping him.

Right now in Jinling City, Zhu Yuanzhang can only mobilize the Jinyiwei, who number less than two thousand people!

Jinyiwei is indeed an elite, but their personal bravery is not worth mentioning in front of a real battlefield. You have to know that the five of them, including Lu Zhongheng, are all famous warriors. If they charge into battle, the Jinyiwei with such a small number of people will be defeated at the first blow!
"It's time for us to go to the palace and meet the former superior."

"Let's go!"

Hu Weiyong waved his hand and spoke loudly.

At this moment, a flash of lightning flashed across the night sky, and the flash made Hu Weiyong's face look particularly hideous.

"promise!"

Thousands of troops, led by Lawrence Lu, responded loudly, and their voices echoed throughout the night sky.

As the lightning struck, it also illuminated the situations at the other three gates of the capital.

The ground was littered with corpses.

Except for Lu Zhongheng, the others couldn't even set foot in the capital.

It was not until they attacked the city that they discovered that the number of defenders far exceeded their intelligence.

Tang Shengzong and his men were all captured.

Tang Shengzong raised his head and looked at the person who appeared in front of him. His eyes were full of fear and he said in a trembling voice: "Tang, General Tang, haven't you left the capital?!"

Tang He looked at this old brother of his with complicated eyes. In the end, he said nothing. He raised his hand and said coldly: "Take them all away!"

On the other side, Hu Weiyong led his army under the cover of night and marched all the way to the intersection outside the Forbidden City.

The palace gates are closed.

"My lord, something seems to be wrong." Lu Zhongheng said.

The voice just fell.

Suddenly, countless heads surged onto the city wall. At the same time, countless black gun muzzles were pointed at Hu Weiyong and others under the city wall.

"There's an ambush!" Lu Zhongheng said.

"Why panic? Even if they are prepared, can the Jinyiwei defend this imperial city with such a small number of people?!" Hu Weiyong said coldly.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Master Hu!"

On the city wall, a "young man" walked out from among the Jinyiwei guards, looked at Hu Weiyong below and laughed loudly.

After seeing the young man's appearance clearly, Hu Weiyong's face became extremely hideous and terrifying!
If one were to say who Hu Weiyong hated the most in this world, it would definitely be the man standing opposite him.

The two most important civil officials under Zhu Yuanzhang were Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen.

And they are students of both of them.

Hu Weiyong had always regarded Yang Xian as his lifelong enemy, but Yang Xian was always ahead of him.

When he was still hidden by Zhu Yuanzhang, Yang Xian had already become the governor of a state.

And this was just the beginning. After that, his life seemed to be on a roll. He became the first divine candidate, was conferred the title of Taifu and ranked among the three highest officials, and finally became a Duke.

During this period, Hu Weiyong was extremely frightened and often dreamed in the middle of the night that Yang Xian snatched away the position of prime minister that he had been determined to obtain.

No, it was not just him. Most of the civil and military officials in the court thought that after Li Shanchang, the one who would take control of the central government would be Yang Xian. Even Hu Weiyong himself did not expect that he would be able to become the prime minister at that time.

Even though Hu Weiyong later inherited the position of prime minister and became the head of all officials, the thorn in his heart was never removed.

Looking at that face, they were obviously of the same age, but for some reason the other person seemed to be getting younger and younger. When he thought of his own old face, Hu Weiyong felt extremely disgusted. (End of this chapter)
