I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 208 The desperate cabinet: Rebellion in the South! King Xing coerced the emperor into rebellion! The second Fengtian Jingnan!

"impossible!"

"How can it be!"

"How can we become rebels!"

Still in Liu Jian's study, frightened roars resounded one after another.

Xie Qian paced back and forth in the room quickly, asking himself questions over and over while walking quickly.

They finally came to their senses.

What the messenger brought was too scary and vague.

He couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe it.

"Butler, are you sure he is saying that the nine chief ministers have been arrested? Is it His Majesty's order? Jin Yiwei, how can there be any Jin Yiwei!?"

"No! The Za family is leaving!"

"Let's go, Eunuch Wang, if you want to leave... then just leave."

Wang Yue is embarrassed!
The scene fell into a long period of freeze and silence... The wind from the yard blew in, but it didn't make them any better.

"He...he said this, I, I didn't hear it clearly..."

Xie Qian yelled, and his extreme fear was instantly vented by roaring. Now they had become people in the same boat, subconsciously holding together, how could they allow others to leave.

"Wake up! Wake up!"

"The minister resigned."

Zhang Sheng also asked the housekeeper one after another, wanting to confirm the bad news again.

Yang Tinghe pulled the messenger's eyes, felt the pulse that had stopped beating, and tried to speak in a calm tone.

"The scholar's rebellion will not happen in three years..."

Although……

As soon as he said this, Xie Qian, who was pacing back and forth, stopped again.

He couldn't help but tremble all over, and there was endless fear in his heart, but fortunately... he had already prepared for the worst, and could barely accept it. Even if he didn't accept it, he had to accept it.

"How is it possible that I, my house was ransacked and I rebelled?"

"I, I am the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty! I am not Huo Guang, how could I rebel!"

The dazzling light shone in again, causing everyone's eyes to subconsciously focus on Yang Tinghe.

"No need to scream."

"This... this is not true! How is this possible?"

Yang Tinghe didn't know where he got the strength, so he jumped over everyone, opened the door, and let Wang Yue leave.

Die together!

What's more, he is Liu Jian's relative.

This time, Liu Jian was even more limp but stiff, his face became extremely ugly, and he trembled: "Your Majesty, how could your Majesty do this? Why did you leave no room for this!"

"No one is allowed to leave!"

"Yang Tinghe, you...you go too far! The Zajia family did not participate in your rebellion to destroy the nine clans! Are you still a human being? The Zajia family fought with you!"

"Sir, if you are still like this..."

"Jiefu! Close the door!"

"The Zajia, the Zajia didn't participate in your affairs!"

"He is dead."

The housekeeper repeated it again and again, as if grasping a life-saving straw, pinching Renzhong hard, hoping that this guy would wake up and explain clearly, but he only listened to half of it.

"Next, let's all go home and wait for the news that our nine tribes have been wiped out."

Yang Tinghe didn't even look at it, his eyes fell on Liu Jianjin again.

Wang Yue rolled up from the ground, wanting to get away from this place of right and wrong immediately. However, after all, he struggled on the ground for a moment and did not get up.

pity……

The death of the messenger, in a sense, has proved everything.

Wang Yue looked fierce and inwardly, trying to struggle up and fight Yang Tinghe, but he couldn't muster any strength and couldn't stand up.

"Let's just put all the blame on him!"

"What...what? How did it become like this all of a sudden?"

Yang Tinghe had a panoramic view of the performance of several people, and felt a sense of sadness in his heart. Is this their gang?

"Mr. Xie, there's no need! If the prince wants to leave, then let him leave."

Yang Tinghe said lightly, trying to stand up straight: "Eunuch Wang, please!"

Everyone is acting too arrogant.

He was extremely disappointed. Liu Jian couldn't be like this every time. He didn't look like a leader at all.

How could a team that was so divided still rebel? Yang Tinghe had a feeling that it would be nice not to be dragged down by these people.

He was already tired.

After saying that, he decisively stepped out of the threshold and left.

This situation directly brought Xie Qian back to his senses.

"Jiefu! Stop! Stop!"

Xie Qian exclaimed. He didn't know whether to lift his left foot or his right foot for a moment. He stepped out anxiously with both feet, and was tripped to the spot. Before he fell, his hands subconsciously twitched, causing the chairs and tables to fall. Next, another group of people fell on their backs.

Yang Tinghe stopped...

He turned around and took a look, and even more sadness came to his heart.

Is that all they have?

"Jiefu! Stop! Stop!"

Liu Jian was finally forced to come out of his fear completely, knowing that it was not time to let Yang Tinghe leave now, otherwise, they would all be killed.

"Wang Yue! If you want to get out, get out! You gelding, don't bother us here!"

"Butler, leave this dead man alone!"

"Now, hurry up and find out for me!"

"What happened, my hometown, what happened!"

"Zhang Sheng, go to the General Affairs Department quickly and ask someone to see if there are any documents from the south!"

"Lao Xie, just get up by yourself! I'm exhausted!"

He finally hardened up completely.

When people are extremely fearful or extremely stimulated, they have two reactions: either they are frightened to the point of going insane, or, like him, fear overcomes everything and becomes calm and rational.

"Jiefu, come back!"

"Close the door and let's discuss it carefully!"

He looked at Yang Tinghe pleadingly, and was naturally extremely dissatisfied with his performance.

"Phew! Okay."

Yang Tinghe turned around and stepped in again. The door was not closed, and there was no need to close it again.

"Master Chief Assistant, what did you just say?" Zhang Sheng also came to his senses. It's good to have a backbone.

"You should quickly go to Guanglu Temple, Honglu Temple, the General Secretary, and wait and see what's going on! Is there any communication from the south?"

Liu Jian repeated again.

"Okay, okay, okay! I'm going right now! I'm going right now!"

Zhang Sheng finally accepted the order in a panic and was about to leave.

"No need! Mr. Chief Assistant, if there was any urgent information from the south, he would have come to report to us long ago!"

"I think everyone should not leave!"

"Stay here and discuss what to do next!"

"It doesn't take much time, just a quarter of an hour!"

Yang Tinghe stopped Zhang Sheng and said in an orderly manner: "But it's the housekeeper. Go out and check carefully. Is the news just leaked out? Is anyone else aware of it? Go out and take a look..."

"Yes, yes! Jiefu should calm down, let's do it like this!" Xie Qian also got up and held up the chair.

"Yes!"

The housekeeper came to his senses now and glanced at Liu Jian.

"Just do as Jiefu does! Go quickly and leave the body alone." Liu Jian nodded.

The butler left quickly and closed the door before leaving.

"Jiefu, what do you think we should do next?"

Time was running out, so Liu Jian didn't want to beat around the bush and went straight to the point, trying his best to act like a leader.

He also knew that if he didn't come up with something, the team would really break up, and now he could only rely on them.

"what to do……"

This actually asked Yang Tinghe, but when his eyes saw the corpse, he was shocked again.

"Actually...this is already the worst situation!"

"Our nine tribes... may have been controlled by His Majesty and arrested!"

"His Majesty has declared that we are treason!"

"Although I don't know how your Majesty could take action the moment he received the news!"

"We can only assume... His Majesty has actually planned to completely liquidate our cabinet..."

Yang Tinghe tried his best to analyze something from the complicated and unknown situation.

However, they had too little information available and still knew nothing about Zhu Houzhao.

Even thinking that one of his own family members was also captured by the Nine Clan made him feel a bit sad.

He didn't think his family could escape this disaster.

"Completely liquidate our cabinet..."

"How is that possible! Calculating the time, Taizong's mausoleum was not bombed at that time. At most...at most we were the only ones to deal with Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling!"

"Does he not allow us to touch his family?"

"Could it be...the Empress Dowager, or the Queen Mother..."

Xie Qian couldn't help but look back, who leaked the news?
They are now absolutely sure that Zhu Houzhao did not take action after learning about the bombing of Taizong's mausoleum, but he learned a few days ago about the method of their cabinet to force the Queen Mother to have two uncles, and then took action.

This is in line with the logic of time, and they will have more opponents.

"No need to guess like this, it's useless!"

"It's really useless, don't pursue it anymore!"

Liu Jian interrupted their speculation: "Now, my nine tribes have been captured, and all the tribesmen died in front of us. The next step may be on me! Or, as Jiefu said, it will all be on everyone. We haven’t received any news yet, but it’s actually good news.”

"I have rebelled!"

"Then...then..."

Liu Jian had only been strong for a few minutes. When he said this, he hesitated. There was still a hurdle in his heart.

Everyone looked at him, waiting for his decision!

"Then just think of me as a traitor! Just think of me as Huo Guang! Since His Majesty the Emperor is unkind to us, then don't blame us for being unjust!"

Liu Jian looked serious and said inwardly: "We are going to do something treasonous next!" Although Liu Jian said these words loudly, he also felt that there was no domineering and decisiveness, but rather a bit of external force and internal aggression.

but……

At this moment, he understood Sima Yi, understood Yang Jian, and even understood Taizong Zhu Di.

If not forced into a desperate situation, who would rebel, who would want to rebel!

This is the grave crime of destroying the Nine Clans!
"Qing Jun sidelines, usurps the throne, abolishes the establishment and supports the establishment, puts on the yellow robe? Or...others? Lord Chief Assistant, what should we do next?"

Yang Tinghe was a little relieved.

Although the first assistant was strong on the outside and capable on the outside, he finally stood up at the last moment.

Then, what is on their table are these routines of rebellion!
However, he discovered that none of them had executed any of them, and they didn't even have a plan.

"Qingjun side..."

"Usurpation!"

"Destroy the establishment and support the establishment!"

"Yellow robe added?!"

As soon as Yang Tinghe's highly sensitive 404 words came out, Wang Yue screamed out in horror. They usually didn't dare to think of these words, but now they were suddenly required to execute them.

The ups and downs of life are really too fast.

Zhang Yuan was also numb.

"Qingjun side, right? We must also imitate Taizong and come to Fengtian Jingnan."

Xie Qian suddenly chose a tailor-made package: "Liu Jin must be deceiving Your Majesty! The whole south must be holding His Majesty hostage!"

"No, Liu Jin is not enough!"

Yang Tinghe shook his head, what time had it been, and they were still staring at Liu Jin.

"King Xing?"

Liu Jian spit out someone all of a sudden.

"Yes! It's King Xing! King Xing has ignored His Majesty! He wants to be the emperor!"

Xie Qian said categorically: "While the news from His Majesty has not yet come, we have to coerce the entire north and announce it quickly! King Xing coerces the emperor to order the princes! King Xing rebels! Only by the rebellion of the vassal kings can the world be more convinced!" "

This is obviously an old tradition of the Zhu family, and it also has a broader mass base!

"Fengtian Jingnan!"

"Qingjun side!"

Liu Jian's face turned pale.

Take the difficult road to Fengtian again!
Will they succeed this time?

Do they have Taizong's courage and luck?

They just want to use the reputation of Taizong and Taizu to compete in the arena, rather than reenacting Taizong's journey to Fengtian and appeasement, nor do they want Taizu to reenact his journey to the Northern Expedition.

……

"Zuo Qianhu, Your Majesty has an order!"

At the same time, just when Liu Jian and the others were re-planning the Fengtian Jingnan and taking the path of Taizong again.

Another group of Jin Yiwei's secret base in the capital also arrived.

"I accept the order from my humble position!"

Zuo Ning quickly knelt down to greet him.

"Your Majesty said, Zuo Ning, you have done a good job. I have announced the cabinet rebellion. Next, we will closely monitor the cabinet, civil and military officials and their nine clans, expand the royal guards, and at the same time protect the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother. At the same time, there is no need to continue to make fixed-point broadcasts. Yes, let me know if anything happens!"

Simple oral instructions came.

With such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Zhu Houzhao naturally did not go on a killing spree.

All of a sudden, the cabinet was killed, and his military expansion and the like were meaningless.

He now wants to make full use of the time difference in information transmission and force the cabinet to jump over the wall as much as possible.

"Yes!"

Zuo Ning's pupils shrank, the amount of information contained in this oral instruction was too much.

Of course, what concerned and frightened him the most was Zhu Houzhao's last sentence.

Report anything anytime!

Apparently!

Their Emperor can really see the information they give.

This is another invisible shock!

Then after receiving Zhu Houzhao's instructions, the Jinyiwei in the capital began to operate efficiently again.

This operation.

They soon discovered that Liu Jian and the others had taken action and even notified all the civil and military officials in Beijing to hastily hold a court meeting.

The first time, Zuo Ning personally informed the news in the courtyard.

……

"The cabinet hastily held a court meeting? Does everyone need to attend?"

"What's so urgent?"

"Isn't it almost time to get off work?"

In the Hanlin Academy, Yan Song and the others, who were getting ready to get off work, soon received the news of an extra court meeting.

On the spot, Cui Xian and others were a little shocked and confused.

"This is a notice from the Empress Dowager, the Queen Mother, and the Cabinet! I don't know! Anyway, everyone, now, immediately, gather at Fengtian Hall and Fengtian Hall Square! If you don't go, you will be responsible for the consequences!"

"Hurry up and notify your commander! I'm going to notify the next department!"

The official from the General Affairs Department did not explain, but left a strong message and quickly left, notifying the next unit.

Such an anxious attitude and emergency situation also made Yan Song and others realize that something was wrong.

They quickly gathered towards Fengtian Temple.

……

"what?"

"The emperor was imprisoned by King Xing! King Xing held the emperor hostage to order the south!?"

"The southern bandits have raised their troops!?"

In the harem, Queen Mother Zhang was on the hospital bed, looking at Yang Tinghe in front of her in astonishment. Xia He was stunned... The emperor's husband, whom she had never met yet, was about to become a puppet?

"Yes! Queen Mother! This is an eight-hundred-mile urgent secret message from Mr. Li Dongyang and Li Ge. Mr. Li risked his life to discover that Your Majesty has been controlled by King Xing! The temporary cabinet that came from the south and the gathering of vassal kings are all from Xing The king coerced His Majesty into doing this!"

"The reason why His Majesty did not come back is because he was imprisoned by King Xing!"

"Now the southern rebels have conquered Xiangyang and Luoyang one after another, and will arrive in the capital soon!"

"Please come to the main hall quickly to discuss matters!"

Yang Tinghe threatened Empress Dowager Zhang again with great solemnity. This time, even if he was driving, he would drive Empress Dowager Zhang to the court and let them preside over the meeting.

……

"Liu Jian, are you sure?"

"King Xing coerced the emperor, held the emperor hostage to order the princes?"

Elsewhere in the harem, the elderly Queen Mother Wang walked out of the Buddhist hall. Her wrinkled face was also shocked, but her cloudy eyes penetrated people's hearts. What could she see in Liu Jian's eyes?
"Empress! I dare to guarantee the lives of the nine tribes!"

"I don't dare to joke about this kind of thing!"

Liu Jian didn't have to pretend, because in his current mood, there was no need to act.

"How could it be like this? How could King Xing rebel?"

"How could I, Ming, become like this all of a sudden?"

At this moment, even the well-informed Empress Dowager could not remain calm.

……

"What's happening here?"

"Why is Changling Guard also coming to the palace?"

In the square outside Fengtian Hall, when Yan Song and others were ordered to gather, they discovered something unusual about the court meeting.

The Changling Guards actually controlled the palace gate and infiltrated into the imperial army.

At the same time, the entire Imperial City Forbidden Army went to their posts in unison, with one post every five steps and one person every ten steps.

This situation directly filled the chilling atmosphere and made them involuntarily nervous.

At the same time... they soon saw the big bosses of the Six Departments: Jiao Fang, the Minister of Libu, Han Wen, the Minister of Hubu, etc., all entering the Fengtian Hall with solemn faces.

This kind of formation made all the civil and military officials and petty officials of the court feel a different solemn atmosphere.

……

"The Queen Mother is here!"

"The Queen Mother is here!"

Anyway, towards evening, everyone showed up!

Amidst the eunuch's sharp announcement, the elderly Empress Dowager and the coughing Empress Dowager Zhang were once again in the same court, listening to politics behind the curtain at the same time.

Then, the two queen mothers looked very unhappy and canceled the necessary salutes.

Such an abnormal court meeting made some old officials who had been officials during the Jingtai and Tianshun years feel a familiar atmosphere.

"Liu Jian, come and tell everyone what happened!"

The Empress Dowager bypassed Empress Dowager Zhang and named Liu Jian.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Jianyan, and they found that Liu Jian's face looked ugly!
"To the Empress Dowager, the Queen Mother, and all my colleagues!"

"Something bad is going to happen!"

"We received an urgent report from Eight Hundred Miles and an urgent report from Li Dongyang!"

"King Xing has rebelled and is holding the emperor hostage to order the princes! Rebellions have broken out in several southern provinces! Water transport has been stopped!"

"At the same time! In the name of His Majesty, King Xing even announced that our northern cabinet is in collective rebellion! We are going to start the Northern Expedition. Now the southern army has successively conquered Xuzhou, Xiangyang, Luoyang and other places!"

"The various intelligences that came from the south, as well as the subsequent intelligences, are all false information that King Xing forced His Majesty to send to you!"

"We may have to carry out the second Fengtian Jingba!"

Liu Jian did not hide it. Before the matter was exposed, their cabinet still had the final interpretation power and the right to predict information, and directly announced a series of earth-shattering news!

As soon as the news came out, all the civil and military officials in Fengtian Palace were stunned. Everyone knew that something extraordinary had happened, but they did not expect that it would be such a shocking news.

This is no less than... the changes in Tumu Fort back then!
Even... the eunuchs who were responsible for reporting the news were frightened and opened their mouths not knowing how to report.

"What!?"

"King Xing is holding the emperor hostage to order the princes!"

"The South Revolts!"

"How can this be!?"

After a few breaths, the civil and military officials of Fengtian Palace were in an uproar.

Xu Pengju, who was still a little drunk, was also awakened in an instant.
