Chapter 210 The Great Coup (3)
On the fourth day of the October 10th, before dawn, many people gathered near the north city gate of Kaifeng Prefecture, waiting for the city gate to open.@èng·com updated the fastest@These people were those who entered the city to sell vegetables, some who entered the city to work, some who went to visit relatives, and more than ten people dressed in soldiers. The leader was Liu Daqing. Looking at the closed city gate in front of him, Liu Daqing touched the letters in his arms, and then touched the waist sign in his arms, and then felt at ease.
At the beginning of the month, Dong Zunhui wanted to ask Guo Wei for leave, but he rushed back to Kaifeng Prefecture in person, but just as the Liao army was about to move again, he could only delay. In addition, Dong Zunhui could not clearly say that he could understand the future and knew that Liu Chengyou would start a great purge. He could only tell Guo Wei that he missed his newlywed wife and specially ordered someone to secretly take her and send her back to Kaifeng Prefecture after a while. Anyway, in Dong Zunhui's memory, there was still one month left to Liu Chengyou to take action, and there was plenty of time!
Guo Wei knew that Dong Zunhui and Gao Guiying were newly married, and it was a time when they were deeply in love. Although he was a little funny about Dong Zunhui, he finally agreed. So Dong Zunhui ordered Liu Daqing to lead more than ten soldiers to set off immediately, first to contact Wang Zhengzhong in Kaifeng Prefecture, and quietly took Gao Guiying and others out of Kaifeng Prefecture. In addition, if conditions permit, it is best to let Gao Guiying take Guo Shuai's family out of the city in the name of relaxing, and arrange it to the farm outside the city. Even if Liu Chengyou launches a coup in the future, he will give them a chance to escape.
Soon, the city gate opened, and soon it was Liu Daqing and others' turn. Liu Daqing immediately said: "Let's go, everyone go to Fuwang Gambling House for a relaxing time!"
The guards guarding the city heard what Liu Daqing said. They nodded in understanding and casually looked at Liu Daqing's waist card. They didn't even check the official documents he carried with him for "returning to Beijing" and waved and let it go...
Let’s talk about the palace. An hour ago, Yan Jinqing looked at the little eunuch Lefu with a bruised face and asked angrily: “Lefu, who is so cruel? It’s too disrespectful to slap you so big! Tell me quickly, who is it?”
Love is Yan Jinqing's fellow villager. After entering the palace, he was very well taken care of by Yan Jinqing. He also told Yan Jinqing a lot of palace news and helped Yan Jinqing a lot of help. Love didn't want to say it, but when he saw that Yan Jinqing was very anxious for him, he came to Yan Jinqing's ear and told everything together! Not only did he say that Li Ye slapped himself in the face, but he even told all the things that the emperor secretly summoned dozens of dead soldiers!
Although the emperor and his confidants kept it as secret as possible during this period, Yan Jinqing still heard some rumors. Combined with what Love said, Yan Jinqing couldn't help but be shocked. The emperor summoned dead soldiers to the palace secretly, definitely not to appreciate the martial arts performance. Today is the day of the dynasty meeting. Is it the emperor preparing to launch a coup today?
He had already stirred up storms in his heart, but he did not seem surprising on the surface and said deliberately: "I know all the things you said. Nie Wenjin has greeted me. You must remember to keep it confidential and don't tell others. If someone knows that you have leaked the news, it is a crime of beheading! As for Li Ye's attack on you, he is the national uncle of the brand after all, and it is difficult for me to get back this battle for you. In a few days, when I enter the palace again, I will bring you more money to see if I can buy a good seat and stop doing this chore of serving people."
Love was very grateful. Although the palace was big, only Yan Jinqing was the only one who treated him gentle.
When Love left happily, Yan Jinqing frowned and tense his nerves. The emperor was about to launch a coup. What should I do? Although Yan Jinqing is also the emperor's confidant, Shi Hongzhao is his cousin and takes good care of him on weekdays. How could he watch him die?! The palace gate is about to open in half an hour, and it will be time to go to court soon. What should I do?
The more Yan Jinqing thought about it, the more anxious he became. He wanted to leave the palace to report the letter, but his goal was too big and it was easy to be recognized. If the emperor thought he was leaking the secret, his life would be worrying immediately! But if he asked someone to deliver the letter, it would be equivalent to giving someone a handle. Even if Shi Hongzhao could escape, when the emperor killed Yang Bin and others, if he received the letter in the future, he would definitely hold him accountable.
In fact, it is enough to let Shi Hongzhao not attend court. As a first-class official for so long, as long as he is smarter, he will definitely be able to save his life. The news must be given, but you must not resort to writing.
Yan Jinqing hurriedly found a soldier whom he was most confidant and said to him: "I know that you often sneak out of the palace to gamble, so there must be a way to leave the palace quietly. Now I will give you a task and you need to leave the palace immediately to go to Lord Shi Hongzhao's mansion. As long as you say you are an "old friend of Xianyang", Lord Shi Hongzhao will summon you. When you meet Lord Shi Hongzhao, you only need to say to him: "Don't go to court today, it's best to go out of the city to hunt!" After I come back, I will give you five taels of gold. However, only by seeing Lord Shi Hongzhao with your own eyes can you say this, do you understand?!"
As long as he quietly left the palace to pass such a sentence, he could get five taels of gold. How could the personal soldiers not agree to the matter of pies falling from the sky? He agreed immediately and left immediately. Soon, the personal soldiers came to a drainage channel under the palace wall. Seeing that there was no one around, he immediately pulled out several nearby bricks, bowed and drilled out.
Now there is less than half a quarter of an hour before the morning court, the personal soldiers rushed forward and finally arrived before Shi Hongzhao came to court. He hurriedly informed the concierge that it was a visit by "an old friend of Xianyang".
After hearing the gatekeeper's notice, Shi Hongzhao knew that it was the envoy secretly sent by Yan Jinqing. Because "Yan" and "salt" were salty, Shi Hongzhao thought about it again and again, but did not summon him. Shi Hongzhao also had his own considerations: At this grand dynasty meeting, he would submit the memorial to "promote Yan Jinqing to Xuanhui Envoy". If he meets his envoy now, he will give the idle censors a speech, and there will be trouble in the future. Anyway, Yan Jinqing should have nothing to talk about, and he can wait until the memorial to promote him to Xuanhui Envoy is approved, and I will meet him again.
Thinking of this, Shi Hongzhao ordered the concierge to give back and told his master to wait for the good news after he returned.
The personal soldiers were very puzzled, but they did not dare to be arrogant, so they had to run back in a hurry. When he returned to the palace, the palace gate had already opened and officials were entering the palace one after another. The personal soldiers also found an inconspicuous corner and quietly smuggled into the palace.
When he came to Yan Jinqing, Yan Jinqing handed over a bowl of water without waiting for him to speak, plus a small gold ingot of five liang. The personal soldier, regardless of his thirst, quickly bit the gold. Although his teeth hurt, he excitedly drank the bowl of water and then reported the situation to Yan Jinqing.
After hearing this, Yan Jinqing sighed. It was already time to go to court, and he was one step slower after all. Anyway, he had done his best, so he should save himself now! Seeing the personal soldiers bleeding from their seven orifices and falling to the ground and dying, Yan Jinqing slowly walked out... @ya
