In the office of the Hall of the Palace, Zhang Yongde asked, "Whose people are there??"

This was the first sentence he asked, and no one could answer. Finally, a general in charge of the garrison office said at the door: "Go back to Zhangdu to check, we have sent someone to see it. We will know when we report it back later."

Then Zhang Yongde looked back and asked the second sentence: "Where is the Zhao Dushi (Zhao Kuangyin)?"

No one could answer his question, only one muttered: "I saw Zhao Duzhi in front of half a stick of incense..." Several people in the lobby looked at each other and remained silent for a long time. Everyone seemed to be guessing and thinking.

Today's day is wrong, and it is not the date of the date of the yamen. Only senior generals above the commander-in-chief of the yamen (otherwise, Guo Shao would not have taken action in the morning for the sake of more perfection); the chief, deputy and middle-level generals at the military level are all in their respective camps, and there are very few people in the front office. I don't know when a few more left, and even fewer people came to the lobby.

At this moment, a young general came in and said, "The people holding the tiger flag, the people from the left wing of the Hujie Army! They blocked all the intersections on the Maxing Street Crossroad and the east side!"

"What do they want to do!" Zhang Yongde stood up and shouted with wide eyes.

Today he always asks some questions that are too "deep" so that no one else can answer them.

Zhang Yongde stood for a while, looked at the people in the lobby again, slowly sat back on the chair, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

...

Zhao Kuangyin and dozens of people were waiting in an alley. Finally, he saw Zhao Pu coming with a package tightly in his arms. Zhao Pu came up and said, "I got the things!" After hearing this, Kuangyin turned around and asked the two generals and guards to wait at the entrance of the alley. Then he rode his horse to meet him, looked back first, and asked in a low voice: "Has checked?"

Zhao Pu looked nervous and nodded vigorously, "I dare not neglect such a major matter."

On Kuang Yin's black face, three vertical lines between his eyebrows did not dissipate. He said in a deep voice: "It's so soon, we haven't started to do it yet... I'm afraid it's too late!" He sighed again: "I'm going to talk to Zhang Yongde this morning..."

"Who gave him the courage! It must be that the queen bribed the eunuch and secretly colluded with the inside and outside." Zhao Pudao, "The officials could still speak the day before yesterday, and there was no sign in the two heavens. At this time, the time was not ripe, it was a little too early... they really dared..."

Kuang Yin said: "We must support Zhang Yongde first and have a title. Otherwise, it would be easy to make mistakes based on our people just to mobilize troops in the limelight... We are not prepared enough. We have only plans and have not started anything, and we dare not discuss it with everyone too early. This matter cannot be done!"

Zhao Pu said: "Lord, don't hesitate. Don't make a quick decision now. Wait until Fu Hou and Guo Shao recovered in the palace to stabilize the situation. Then there was really no chance at all!"

Kuang Yin rubbed his temples hard with his hands. He didn't care about hiding his emotions. He was obviously thinking, and in the midst of a difficult choice. He kept muttering: "These two men and women are so disgusting... Especially the woman, it seems that no one can control her..."

Zhao Pu urged nervously: "Master! If we do nothing, they will never let us go in the end! Since we have to do it, it is better to be early and not late to this point!"

Kuang Yin pondered: "It is best to launch an army in the name of suppressing rebellion. But I know Zhang Yongde too much. He is timid and surrenders to whoever he sees... Before the Battle of Gaoping, many people were rebellious and refused to submit to the new king. When he saw that the new king had succeeded to the throne, he surrendered with all his heart. Without the imperial edict and the military order of the Privy Council, Zhang Yongde was timid and would definitely watch the fire from the other side of the river and would never be willing to take risks.

If he wants to take risks, unless he is given a dragon robe, he will be forced to do anything, and he will be tempted to be great enough (being an emperor is worthy of all the effort); Zhang Yongde has a high prestige, and once he becomes emperor, other people may also watch the fire from the other side of the river, at least not besieging us. But now supporting Zhang Yongde is not only time-consuming, but also abandons the name of suppressing rebellion that is easier to mobilize the army.

It would be impossible without Zhang Yongde! All the generals only saw me ordering that the other generals in the front office of the Palace were not there, and there was no order to transfer the Privy Council, so it was easy to arouse suspicion. Especially those middle and lower-level generals who were not very familiar with, they would easily cause temporary changes.”

Zhao Kuangyin was not a hesitant person, such as the Battle of Chuzhou, which made the move to quickly seize the city, but this time it was too difficult, and he couldn't help but wonder, saying, "How could they do it now... Are there spies among us? But I have always been very cautious about this matter, and only the two of us know about it... Is there an undercover eavesdropping in the mansion?"

Zhao Pu also felt it was reasonable when he heard this, but he insisted: "No matter what, there is no choice. The lord is determined!"

"The opportunity has been lost, we can respond hastily..." Zhao Kuangyin looked pessimistic, but he gritted his teeth and nodded, "After leaving, go to the military camp to call some generals first. Let's act separately, and call as much as you can."

Zhao Kuangyin took out the seal letter: "Han Chongyun, the commander of the First Army of the Iron Cavalry, is close to me and knows you too. You can easily call people when you take my seal letter."

"I'm here to obey the order." Zhao Pu took the seal with a serious look on his face.

Zhao Kuangyin looked back and saw Shi Shouxin, commander of the left wing of the Iron Cavalry, and Wang Shenqi, commander of the right wing of the alley, shouting: "Brother Shi, Brother Wang, come and talk."

When the two of them rode in, Kuang Yin said, "If you have important matters, you need to summon some generals. You two go to the army to bring your generals to the front office."

The three people with the best relationship with Zhao Kuangyin are the three people, Shi Shouxin, Wang Shenqi, and Han Chongyun, and both of them are here. The relationship between these three people and Zhao Kuangyin is particularly different. They are all friends in times of distress when they were the lowest generals in the (post-Han) Han Dynasty, and are the most trustworthy generals around Zhao Kuangyin.

There are also a few brothers and friends who are not that close to each other. Some are outstanding in the outer town (Han Lingkun, Li Jixun), some are in the Chuanghe Army (Zhao Chao), and some are not so reliable in their work (similar to Luo Mengzi, who is not as loyal as Luo Mengzi in Guo Shao). Zhao Kuangyin is preparing to take people to find the other brothers in the Iron Cavalry Army. The relationship is not particularly close, so it is better for him to go there by himself.

If there is more careful preparation, Zhao Kuangyin can gather more people.

His strength is obviously greater than Guo Shao. The commanders of the left and right sides of the Iron Cavalry Army are all his best brothers. The first-level generals of the army include his brothers and those who defected to Shi Shouxin. The lower-level generals include some commanders, and many of the deputy commanders are from his personal soldiers. They took the opportunity to be placed in the Iron Cavalry Army when rectifying the Palace Front Office... It is not so obvious that they are promoted to a low-level general. Zhao Kuangyin's control and trust in the Iron Cavalry Army were slightly inferior to Guo Shao; but he captured both sides.

Moreover, Zhao Kuangyin's influence was not limited to the Iron Cavalry Army. Zhao Chao was his father's family friendship when he was alive. Now he is the commander of the right wing of the He Army (Yuan Yan, the left wing wing chief, was not Zhao Kuangyin's person). However, he only made some involvement in the He Army. For example, Zhao Chao was a general of the Guards Department before, and he was not very famous for not being moved to the He Army for a long time. There were also several brothers who had been in the past who were not in key positions.

He and Guo Shao both faced the same problem: their prestige and "identity" were not enough. In terms of identity, Zhao Kuangyin was not as good as Guo Shao; Guo Shao married the Fu family of Hebei nobles, and his status outside was higher than that of Zhao Kuangyin.

But no matter what, if the subtle differences in control are ignored, Zhao Kuangyin's direct lineage is at least twice that of Guo Shao!

But now in a hurry, I can only choose some more reliable people to deal with it.

...Zhao Kuangyin was feeling like he was eating a big pot of flies! He was obviously stronger and his plan and deployment strategy had been improved, and he just waited for the right time to implement it. However, he was caught off guard at a critical moment and had to change his strategy temporarily to save time and not maximize his energy. He was very dissatisfied and felt very aggrieved!

Mom! A little mistake at a critical moment can be worth half of the results of his four years of business.

The group acted separately and summoned the generals to the Palace Front Office in a hurry. Because they had not started to implement the plan in advance, the plot was still at the stage of ready to go. In order to avoid leaking the secrets as much as possible, there were only two people who knew about it... In addition, the timing was inappropriate this morning, the generals were all dispersed, and caught off guard and wasted a lot of time.

Even Zhao Kuangyin didn't have much confidence when he did it himself, and he felt that his current actions were full of loopholes and messy.

But the opponent will not care whether he has confidence or not! It is better if he has no confidence. People do not want to fight fairly, but to kill him by any means! So if he has confidence or not, he has to bite the bullet and continue.

He discovered many omissions on his side. For example, the defense of the Hall of the Palace was not strong, and the Hujie Army had already controlled the main intersection in the eastern part of the inner city, but fortunately, the troops were not moved. Zhao Kuangyin thought: Guo Shao's troops might have tried their best to avoid resistance and chaos in the early stage and dared not take the initiative to attack; but it is unclear what they would do when they freed up their hands.

The other party even made such details very carefully, but under the rough mutiny, he had a delicate style. This made Zhao Kuangyin feel even colder and colder.

...Zhao Kuangyin calmed down and suddenly thought: he did not discuss with Zhang Yongde. The generals and other generals arrived in the front office in a mess. When Zhang Yongde saw that so many people suddenly came uninvited, would he be too careful?

So he temporarily changed his itinerary and went to only one military camp, so he quickly took people to the Palace Front Office.

After Zhao Kuangyin returned to the yamen, he went to the lobby first. He saw that there were only a few deserted inside. He immediately asked, "Where is Zhang Dujian?" A general said, "Go back to General Zhao, Zhang Dujian Dian and General Yuan went to the camp of the Censor Army and said that he would send someone to the palace to ask what was wrong."

After hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin's heart suddenly stumbled, as if ten thousand skinny dogs were running through his heart... This old fox named Zhang!

When is it now? Send people to tell at a glance that it was a mutiny in the left wing of the Hujie Army! Only those who use the tiger as military flag in an inappropriate manner... It seems that they are afraid that others will not know that they are ignorant and think that the Hujie Army and the tiger have something to do with it.

All of them have changed, so I sent someone to the palace to ask? What a big deal!
