The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 159 Coup
Wang Yinghua's mansion.

There were only four people in the secret room, apart from Su Guansheng, they were Wang Yinghua and He Wunuo, the two people who had the closest relationship with the Tang king.

Next to him sat a middle-aged man with five short statures and long beards. Although his identity was only a pen official in the Tang Palace, he was Zhu Yu'ao's confidant and was here on behalf of Tang Wang.

"If you want to achieve great things, you must use the two to complement each other." Su Guansheng pointed out two fingers, "One is the court. Although most officials in the court will maintain a neutral attitude, there must be pedantic and stubborn people who do not care about the interests of the society. Foolishly obstructing the progress of the country."

He looked at the few people in front of him, "Therefore, key points such as the cabinet, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War must be held by our own people.

"At the speed of Zeng Hou's driving, it may take five or six days to arrive at Tianxing Mansion. The king of Tang has the responsibility of supervising the country. Immediately issue a decree to mobilize key candidates, and they should be properly arranged before major events."

He Wuzhen nodded and said: "The cabinet side Huang Daozhou, Yang Tinglin and others are all in the other place, there are me and the Su Pavilion, and Li Guangchun, Zeng Ying and others who have no opinions, are already under the control of Lord Jian Guo. The Metropolitan Procuratorate is not a problem, it used to be full of people from the Zheng Party, but now that the Zheng Party has been taken down, most of the people who fill it are people from the State Supervisor.”

Wang Yinghua frowned and said: "The official department is the most important, but if you want to move, you will definitely offend Huang Daozhou."

Su Guansheng snorted disdainfully, "He's already from Zeng Hou, so why worry?"

"That will be easy." Wang Yinghua said, "It happens that he is not in Tianxing Mansion, so he can be transferred to be the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry. Instead, the Ministry of Suge will be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Is this feasible?"

Su Guansheng smiled slightly, and immediately reciprocated, "As for the Ministry of Household Affairs, He Kai is just a clean stream with little foundation, so transfer him to the Ministry of Punishment. The key points of the Ministry of Officials should be in charge of the Ministry of He Ge. As for the Ministry of Rites..."

He looked at Wang Yinghua, "It's just appropriate for Mr. Wang to follow the trend with the left servant of the Ministry of Rites."

Wang Yinghua hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Your official should go all out."

"It's just that the Ministry of War is in trouble," Su Guansheng said again, "Yang Tinglin holds Jiangxi in his hands and has a large number of troops, so he can only recruit as much as possible, but he can't move his position in the Ministry of War.

"Fortunately, he and the Minister of the Ministry of War are not in the court, so they will not hinder the major affairs of the state. When the major events are settled, he can only follow the general trend."

After arranging the affairs of the court, he looked at the writer in the Tang Palace, and seeing that he was just listening with his head down, he knew that the Tang King had no objection, so he continued: "Outside the court, the second is the imperial camp. Zeng There are Huang Mingjun and Jiang Zhengxi's troops at the back. Although they were ambushed by the captive army a few days ago, there are still about [-] troops left.

"Our Xinwei army only has a thousand people, plus the palace guards, it will only be more than a thousand or two hundred. At that time, we need to keep an eye on the gates of Tianxing Mansion and control the palace. The army is still insufficient. Maybe we can recruit from Tianxing Mansion immediately. Soldiers, temporarily charged, but the time is a little tight..."

Wang Yinghua immediately cupped his hands and said: "There are some ways to transfer troops to the government." He smiled triumphantly, "Cao Hongzu stationed nearly [-] troops in Lianjiang's garrison. Although he first joined the Zheng family, he was not reused by Zheng Zhilong, so he always thought of it. It counts. Rather than being an old official, if you tell him that the important land of Xianxia Pass has been lost and the captive army is in danger, you can say that he led the army to vote."

Lianjiang is very close to Tianxing Mansion, if you march quickly, you can arrive there in less than three days, Su Guansheng was overjoyed when he heard this, "Your Majesty Wang sent this army, why worry?

"I have many old friends in Guangdong. If Xu Ding Kui Chu is a high-ranking prince, he can be persuaded to give the land of Guangdong and Guangxi to the Tang Dynasty to inherit the great rule. As long as there are soldiers and horses in the early stage who can suppress the former and later, when the big event is settled, Ding Kui Chu will lead Tens of thousands of troops from Guangdong and Guangxi enter Fujian, and there will be no one in the world who dares to doubt." Guangdong is adjacent to Fujian in the south, and it will only take more than a month to transfer troops from Guangdong to Fujian if the speed is fast.

As he spoke, he looked at the confidant of the Tang king and said, "What do Mr. Zhang think?"

That Mr. Zhang bowed respectfully and said: "Your Highness, you can be Xu Dingkui, King of Chuwuzhou."

Su Guansheng was also shocked when he heard the words, he thought that the king of Tang was really willing to pay the price, and hurriedly responded: "So, Ding Dutang's army has arrived!"

When Su Guansheng said that the two major foundations for the coup d'état had been agreed upon, he suddenly felt relieved, as if he had seen the majestic scene when the king of Tang ascended the throne.

"After Cao Hongzu's troops entered Tianxing Mansion, he can be appointed as the commander of the five cities' soldiers and horses, and his troops will be stationed in the capital." He continued to plan, "The Royal Highness Royal Guards and Xinwei Army will be converted into imperial camps. Ruolin was appointed as the capital of the imperial camp and stationed in Da Nei.

"When Empress Zeng returned to the palace, first prevent Huang Mingjun and Jiang Zhengxi's troops from entering the city, and make Cao Hongzu keep an eye on their troops. If not, they will be captured in the city on the charge of collaborating with captives. Afterwards, Empress Zeng was trapped in the harem, and Liu Ruolin was arrested. guard.

"The next day all the officials of the Xuantianxing Mansion came to the court to announce the death of the late emperor, and His Royal Highness Tang helped the spirit to attend the funeral!"

Speaking of this, his eyes were simply brilliance.According to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, the person who supported the spirit of the first emperor will be the next emperor.That is to say, at this point, the throne of King Tang is firmly established, and there is nothing that can be reversed.

"Immediately after the funeral, the enthronement ceremony will be held. The cabinet, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of Rituals are all for me...for His Highness, there should be a large number of people who are persuaded to advance in the court. At this moment, the general trend has been achieved, and officials in the middle should not If you do it, even if there are people who are not open-eyed, they will be suppressed in an instant."

Wang Yinghua was overjoyed at first when he heard the words, but then he asked in doubt: "However, why not launch it immediately, but wait until Empress Zeng returns to the palace to do big things?"

He Wuzhen smiled and twitched his beard and said: "Su Ge's department is really clever. Although the prince is young, he still has a righteous reputation. If he is not confined in the palace, he will definitely be used by someone who has a heart. How could the Zeng family not take the opportunity?" Stirring up troubles? Take advantage of the unpreparedness to avoid future troubles."

Righteous name?Su Guansheng thought about these few words secretly, then narrowed his eyes suddenly, and said: "After the funeral of the late emperor, we can send people to post all over the Tianxing mansion to reveal the identity of the crown prince. Someone saw that the crown prince had died with the late emperor in southern Fujian. The one who was brought into the palace later was only a beggar."

He Wuzhen and Wang Yinghua looked at each other, although they felt that Su Guansheng's actions were somewhat disdainful, but it was indeed a clever plan to attack the prince's righteous reputation, so they nodded in agreement.

He Wuzhen said again: "Besides, people in Tianxing Mansion are now in panic, and they are all afraid of the captive army breaking the city. This should stabilize the people's hearts, so as not to miss His Highness's plan."

Su Guansheng nodded, "The fact that King Chen seized Xianxia Pass and Jiangxi army entered King Qin of Min can be made public, and there will be no panic in Tianxing Mansion."

……

Two days later.

He Kaifu, the new secretary of the Ministry of Punishments.

He Kai ordered his servants to fetch the good tea he treasured, and said to Zhu Jizuo, "Zhu Ge's department hasn't come to me for a long time, so I don't know what advice you can give me?"

"He Butang is still in the mood to drink tea?" Zhu Jizuo said anxiously, "Don't you find it strange that you were transferred to the Ministry of Punishment suddenly?"

"However, why is it strange that He Wuzhen just begged for an official in front of Jian Guo?"

Zhu Jizuo got closer, and said in a low voice: "Then He Butang knows about the exchange of the palace ban and imperial battalion?"
