Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Within a day, the situation in Beijing suddenly changed.

Unpredictable.

During the Xianghe Incident, it was rumored that Wang Qi was bombed and killed on the spot. Wang Shouxin and Li Qingsong who were guarding him also died. Afterwards, hundreds of his followers were defeated and retreated to Xianghe City.

Qin Erbao, Lu Xiangsheng and other people with heavy troops were far away in Nanjing and other places.

The city of Beijing has completely fallen into the hands of the coup makers.

The admiral's office in the capital and the nine-door commander's office did not wait for Wang Shouxin's order. What they waited for was the imperial edict from the cabinet to take over the capital. Wang Qi was dead.

After several small-scale fierce battles, because of the appearance of one person, the battle balance in the capital immediately tilted, and the entire situation headed in an unpredictable direction.

The newly formed cabinet announced that Cao Wenzhao, the former governor of Jiliao, was appointed as deputy minister of the cabinet and minister of the Ministry of War, in charge of all military affairs in the capital.

Cao Wenzhao did not appear alone. He led three battalions of his cronies, totaling more than 5,000 people, and directly took over the entire capital's defense.

Although the 30,000 troops in Liaodong could not be mobilized without Wang Qi's order.

But Cao Wenzhao, with more than 5,000 personal troops in his hands, was enough to change the banner of the capital overnight - as long as Wang Qi died.

Beijing City, the Imperial City Council Office.

"Everyone, as long as you sign this document and declare your break with Wang Qi! I can guarantee all your treatment and titles in the court. The new emperor can also help you explain that you have been treated badly. It was Wang Qi’s coercion that led to those behaviors that were contrary to human ethics and treasonous!”

Ye Xianggao was wearing a dark red round-neck satin robe, sitting where Wang Qi had been sitting, looking at everyone with a smile, calm and confident.

Wang Huazhen didn't speak, just sat there quietly, closing her eyes and relaxing.

Xu Guangqi looked at Ye Xianggao: "The empire can't save the world, but it can for a while!"

Lu Yu even sneered and uttered two words: "The villain succeeds!"

"In any case, Wang Qi is dead, and you can't make a comeback no matter what," Ye Xianggao took some time to rest and then stood up: "After today, the emperor will ascend the throne. It's time to wake up from this dream that has lasted ten years!"

After saying that, Ye Xianggao turned and left: "Look at them, no one is allowed to come in or out without my order!"

"As ordered!"

The people in the Imperial City Division were all replaced by personal soldiers brought by Cao Wenzhao and private soldiers from the former Ming Dynasty.

At this moment, Kunning Palace. Queen Mother Zhang Yan took Zhu Cilin and sat on a chair nearby without saying a word.

And Yuan Keli stood opposite the Queen Mother with a group of red-robed officials, with an even more solemn expression: "Queen Mother, no matter what your relationship is with Wang Qi, after today, you will make a huge sacrifice to preserve the royal bloodline. , people in the world will only admire and praise you. As long as you come forward in person and tell these words to the world tomorrow when all the officials meet with the emperor, then the world will regain its enlightenment!"

"Is this how you repay the governor?" Zhang Yan said disdainfully with cold eyes: "In the past ten years, the population of the world has increased more than three times, the parliament's finances and taxes have increased more than ten times, education, technology, food, and territory have all increased Isn’t everything beneficial to the world? Now, you want to overthrow it with your own hands and return to the imperial system where one person has won the hearts of the world. You keep saying that you serve the country and the people, but now, you come to tell me, what are you doing? What are you worried about?"

"I am an emperor and have a clear conscience!" Yuan Keli shook his head: "Wang Qi did not kill us because his conscience was still intact. It was also the late emperor who protected us and the foundation of the emperor!"

Yuan Keli looked at the ignorant Zhang Yan, sighed helplessly, and turned to Zhu Cilin, who was obediently held in Zhang Yan's arms: "Tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Queen Mother, this is your biological son. Who is different from any woman in the world?" Why do you want to stand against me? No matter what, we are also for the country of Ming Dynasty and the world of His Highness!"

"This world is the world of hundreds of millions of people. It does not belong to one person, nor does it belong to any one family!" Zhang Yan sneered: "Furthermore, Master Shao Guojiu, Cilin ascended the throne, not just as a puppet emperor. It’s whatever you say. This world seems to belong to the Zhu family, but isn’t it actually controlled by you literati? The emperor is just a tool in your hands! The ambition of a wolf will be punished by God!”

"Only villains and women are difficult to raise! The sages will never deceive me!" Yuan Keli stood up angrily after hearing this: "You only have one night to think about it. I hope you can understand our good intentions!"

After saying that, Yuan Keli turned and left, and the entire Kunning Palace was also monitored at all levels.

Not long after, the original political hall was opened.

Ye Xianggao, Yuan Keli, and Cao Wenzhao gathered together.

"Those big members are still unwilling to compromise. I have sent people to imprison them," Ye Xianggao said first: "But the rest of the ordinary members of the parliament in Beijing and the various affairs offices have been replaced by our people. Tomorrow's meeting The official meeting can still be held smoothly!"

"The Empress Dowager can only forcefully send the prince to the throne tomorrow. As long as he persists for a period of time before the official audience, the task can be completed. Once the names of monarch and ministers are determined, everything will be fine!!" Yuan Keli also spoke, his hands moving when he spoke. It's shaking, I don't know if it's excitement or excitement.

Cao Wenzhao was the calmest and most cautious of the three: "The person who died in the car had nothing to prove his identity except that he was wearing the clothes of a consul. I'm worried."

"Master Cao, it is right to be cautious at this time, but there is no need to scare yourself." Ye Xianggao stretched out his hand on the table and nodded: "Wang Qi is so wise and close to the devil, and how powerful he is. Even if you shoot, you must surrender to the truth! Isn’t this the clear statement of his scientific society? Hahahaha."

"By the way, what should we do with the ruling government?" Yuan Keli came back to his senses and glanced at Cao Wenzhao and Ye Xianggao.

Since the martial law was imposed in the capital, the gates of the government offices were closed tightly and no one came in or out.

Under Hai Lanzhu's command, all those who tried to forcefully enter the ruling government office were immediately executed.

However, the cabinet needs Hai Lanzhu very much. As Wang Qi's wife, she can stand up and accuse Wang Qi of various crimes - this is the most powerful evidence!
"Don't use force," Cao Wenzhao shook his head and immediately objected: "This is my bottom line! Don't harm your family."

"Women's kindness!" Ye Xianggao took a deep breath: "General Cao, you should know that those who achieve great things must not be merciful!"

Cao Wenzhao looked at Ye Xianggao and his eyes turned cold: "The reason why I agreed to your plan at the beginning was because under the consul, I could only guard Liaodong and could not gain the recognition of the people in the world. Now, everyone knows Qin Erbao knows about Lu Xiangsheng, but who knows that I, Cao Wenzhao, am also one of the three heroes of Liaodong? I want to prove that I am better than the two of them! Now that the consul is dead, I can no longer hurt others!" (End of Chapter)
