Chapter 752 The right track
In just one sentence, the emperor's majesty is fully demonstrated! Capturing the living mouth will increase the casualties of the guards in front of the palace and the difficulty of pursuing them.
However, suddenly, the fierce sound of muskets caught the attention of all the powerful and high-ranking officials in the inner city of the capital in a very short period of time.
The layout of the capital has always been rich in the east and the west. The city gate of the Xicheng City is only 5 miles away from the Xiyuan. This distance is also in the quiet late night. How can you not hear the sound of a large number of muskets firing?
Something happened in Xiyuan!
The Sishifang where the Jia Mansion is located is closer to the Xiyuan than Fuchengmen. When Jia Huan heard the gunshots, he was discussing with Jia Zheng about what to do after tomorrow. Jia Lian, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang were listening.
In the five-bedroom yard, there are bright lights. In the main hall, two rows of nanmu chairs are placed on the top and under the large red sandalwood carved dragon table.
Jia Zheng was in his fifties and stayed up until the second half of the night, looking tired. The servant outside came in to confirm that the gunshots came from Xiyuan, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly looked at Jia Huan and asked, "Brother Huan, Xiyuan..."
Obviously, someone rebelled and attacked Xiyuan. The last time, gunfire sounded in the capital, it was at the end of the 13th year of Yongzhi that the former prince changed.
What to do now?
If it is a rebellion and the rebellion is successful, how should the Jia family respond? The suppression of the rebellion in Xiyuanli will be successful, so that Jia Huan’s previous plan will be continued. What if it is the rebellion of King Jin or King Chu, what should I do?
"Father, don't be impatient!" Jia Huan pondered slightly in Rongxi Hall, then made up his mind and said in a deep voice: "Father, the plan remains unchanged for the time being. Let's wait and see."
He probably had some speculation in his heart that it was very likely that Ning Rong, the son of the deposed prince, was attacking Xiyuan. Zhen Baoyu told him a hidden news: Ning Rong was in the capital. King Jin and King Chu were not so brave in logic!
Stay stable!
This is the tone that Jia Huan decided not long ago after discussing with Pang Ze at Xiyuntang, Beiyuan!
At this moment, Jia Huan didn't know that he had misjudged the situation in Xiyuan: the emperor was not unconscious, but was fishing and enforcing the law! An emperor who had been in power for seventeen years was very politically skilled! Insidious and deceitful! He took advantage of the misjudgment of Qing Meiren by his ministers: he believed that something would happen to Qing Meiren when he was lucky.
However, Jia Huan's decision is correct for the time being! Because he chose a neutral strategy: stabilize!
The situation tonight is quite complicated! For example, at this moment, the gunshots in Xiyuan made the situation even more confusing! The primary issue now is no longer the physical condition of Emperor Yongzhi, but the outcome of the war, and who initiated the rebellion.
There are countless possibilities in the situation at this moment!
Under the premise that the King of Chu would definitely make mistakes, Jia Huan's most urgent appeal now is to eliminate the murderous intention of Emperor Yongzhi on him.
Then, if the emperor dies, this is naturally no longer a problem; if the King of Chu ascends the throne, he will be miserable; the King of Jin will be waiting for the throne again; if Ning Rong succeeds in the rebellion; or whether he wants to consider pushing the King of Yan to the throne..., etc.
However, everyone should have a clear understanding of their position and not be easily disturbed by external situations.
Jia Huan was very calm at this time. He did not make irrational decisions because of the pressure of death or the urgent situation.
If Mount Tai collapses in front of you, the color remains unchanged, and the elk rises on the left without looking instantly. Then you can control the interests and wait for the enemy!
…
…
Jia Huan instructed Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang to leave Rongxi Hall and return to Xiyun Hall in Beiyuan.
The Jia family’s external information was first sent here. Moreover, Pang Shiyuan is still here.
"Ziyu..." Pang Ze and Jia Huan greeted each other, poured tea, and exchanged views. He heard the gunshots of Xiyuan.
Jia Huan and Pang Ze talked about the situation and said in a deep voice: "After dawn, there will probably be a roughly certain news. We have one or two hours left. Wait a minute. There is no change and then write an article."
Jia Huan's plan was to make a fuss about the public opinion in the capital. The Beijing Daily would sell it in the early morning and there should be articles on it. Similarly, after dawn, he would control the Judeath in the name of Jia Zheng, the envoy of the Communist Party of China, and would also publish articles.
Jia Huan and Pang Ze are both editor-in-chief pens. However, in different situations, the tone of the article must be different.
Time flows away slowly.
It was almost four o'clock in the morning. Before dawn, the last darkness. At this time, the gunshots in Xiyuan had already stopped. Jia Huan looked calm and asked, "Sishui, is there any news coming?" This was Jia Huan's sixth question. He seemed a little anxious.
Zhang Sishui shook his head and said, "Brother Jia, there is not yet." He can't help with such things. The more he helps, the more he will be, the more he will be.
Pang Ze looked at the pocket watch and looked at Jia Huan again, but saw Jia Huan leaning back and leaning on the nanmu chair on the backrest, relaxing and said in surprise: "Ziyu, your judgment..."
Jia Huan pursed his lips vigorously and said, "Shi Yuan, there is no news, it is also news. The gunshots of Xiyuan have stopped. If the rebels win, what will happen now?"
Jia Huan had just exchanged views with Pang Ze. The biggest possibility of the army was Ning Rong, the son of the former crown prince. Pang Ze narrowed his eyes and said, "That should be to notify the ministers, and the court will be held tomorrow." On the 28th, it was not Chang Chaori. Zheng's father was the envoy of Tongzheng and one of the nine ministers, and he was definitely a minister who would be notified.
Jia Huan nodded and said again: "If the emperor is dead or in an incurable coma, the former emperor's grandson raised an army to attack Xiyuan, he would still dare to seize the news from Xiyuan. If Wei, Song, two great scholars, and Jin and Chu, it would be like a rebellion."
The former crown prince raised an army, which was not of the same nature as ordinary rebels. The former was a blatant battle for the throne! The latter could be summarized by military chaos.
The Grand Secretary of the State Dynasty was above the prince. However, when there was no imperial edict in his hand, there was no military power. The news in the Xiyuan was that the emperor was lucky enough to be in a coma, so how could Grand Secretary Hua on duty get the imperial edict?
Then, only if Master Hua is twitched will he act rebellious or have the idea of supporting other princes. The nobles who hold military power in the capital have no statements. The opinions within the civil service group are not unified.
Pang Ze's expression moved slightly, and he followed Jia Huan's words and said: "Then, it can only be the instructions of the emperor. Is the emperor awakened?"
Jia Huan smiled slightly.
…
…
The analysis of unraveling the cocoons allowed Jia Huan to grasp the situation and return to the track of getting close to the truth of the matter. His advantage over other ministers was that his father was the Jiuqing; that he knew that Ning Rong, who wanted to take revenge, was in the capital.
In fact, when gunfire sounded in Xiyuan, two great scholars, Wei Hong and Song Pu, went out in sedan chairs and went to Xiyuan to ask for an audience with the emperor.
In the 13th year of Yongzhi, Xie Xuan, the chief minister of the court, sat on the rebellion and was demoted later. On the same day, there was news that the emperor privately talked about Emperor Wu of Han killing the prime minister Liu Qumao.
Now that something big has happened in Xiyuan, how can the two Grand Secretarys wait for news at home?
…
…
The dawn appeared in the sky, and through the dense green treetops of the West Garden, it fell in Hanyuan Hall.
In the bedroom, Emperor Yongzhi's anger was not gone! It was a mess inside.
The leader of the rebel army had been captured, his grandson Ning Rong, and Yu Hou Weijing from the Palace Guard Division.
Emperor Yongzhi roared, "Is this awkward? What do you think of me? I am his grandfather!"
Everyone in the hall knelt down. The beautiful Qing was trembling. The eunuch general manager Xu Yan knelt on the ground, waiting for the emperor to deal with the prince Ning Rong. He had just brought the news of the interrogation, but the emperor was furious again.
The three Grand Secretary were all in the court room outside the hall. The news to the outside world was still blocked, so that the ministers could not guess the situation in the West Garden.
At this time, an eunuch came in to report: "Your Majesty, Xing You, the commander of the Jinyiwei, asked for a meeting."
