Chapter 49 Bringing soldiers into the palace

At this time, Zhang Zhao, who had just come out of the imperial prison, took the horse from Lu Qi: "Go back and tell my ancestors! My son will definitely be able to bring the imperial soldiers into the palace! Although Zhu Houzhao has given up his position, no one knows the imperial soldiers yet. After taking them into the palace, they will be confirmed to be rebellious and can only work with our family! Besides, our family will promise them the benefits!"

As Zhang Zhao said that, he rode his horse to the main camp of the imperial guards.

Some of the officers and soldiers of the forbidden soldiers only saw the Ming Emperor Zhu Houzhao in front of the Meridian Gate and rushed out to assassinate the emperor, but they did not know the specific details, and now they are returning to the camp to rest, so this gave Zhang Zhaoke the opportunity to take advantage of it.

Zhang Zhao quickly arrived at the imperial guards before Liu Jin and the Minister of War Xu Jin arrived, and also gathered the governors, commanders and eunuchs of the Imperial Guards and Warriors Battalions, and urgently ordered them to immediately convene the ministries and gather outside the Daming Gate.

The officers and soldiers at all levels of the Imperial Army were not aware that Zhang Zhao had been removed from office, so they followed the order and began to gather together.

Zhang Zhao didn't say nonsense, and rode his horse around the Fourth Guards and Warriors Camp, shouting:

"Soldiers from all camps, our family is Zhang Zhao, the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse supervision. Many of you have seen our family, and our family is not polite. Our family knows that your Lumi has been owed for several months, and some people cannot live for even years. Let us tell you now, why your Lumi has not been released!

Because your Lu Mi was greedy by the eunuch Liu Jin and others around the Emperor! Now they are even more rebellious! Now our family is following the emperor's oral orders to follow our family to enter the palace and kill the eunuch Liu Jin and others. After the matter is completed, the emperor promises to send Lu Mi! Follow our family to enter the palace!"

Zhang Zhao shouted and wanted to ride his horse and rushed into the Daming Gate with the imperial guards, but he found that the imperial guards did not respond, and even the military officers who were close to him did not respond.

Zhang Zhao realized something was wrong, but he still tried to calmly turn around and asked, "What's going on?"

At this time, a commander from the camp of the exterior characters came to Zhang Zhao:

"Father-in-law, you have just come back. Before I could tell you, your Majesty had sent us Lumi a few days ago, and it took three months to make up for it and even one month extra! It was all real money and silver! So what did you think of not sending Lumi? But what happened to you that someone was going to rebel? Now, this new emperor seems good. He made up our Lumi shortly after he ascended the throne. Such a good emperor has artificially made up his rebellion?"

"That's right! This lord is right. Our emperor is so good. Who would have committed his rebellion? If you want to say that rebellion is the Eunuch Zhang in front of you! To be precise, you should not be called Eunuch Zhang now, but should be called Zhang Zhao!"

At this time, Liu Jin also came with the inner servant of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, with a smile on his face.

At this time, Liu Jin had already put on the three-mountain hat, put on the official uniform of a high-ranking eunuch, and held Zhu Houzhao's secret order. At the same time, the eunuchs in the imperial horses on both sides also held the guards and the flags.

Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Battalions knew at a glance that Liu Jin was the one who came with the emperor's order.

Zhang Zhao was startled at first, but he didn't expect Zhu Houzhao to issue Lu Mi. During that period, he had been supervising the imperial tomb. After all, he was in charge of internal affairs in the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and he could also take advantage of this to make money. After all, he has always been a fat man in the imperial tomb.

Therefore, Zhang Zhao instinctively wanted to directly scold the military officer for not sending someone to tell him earlier, but at the same time, he was also surprised when Zhu Houzhao would have to pay the money for Lumi, and he would also give it for three months and one month, which would cost 300,000 taels of silver!

Of course, Zhang Zhao didn't have time to think about how Zhu Houzhao did it. He only knew that his plan to transfer troops into the palace had failed. The morale of the Ming Dynasty's imperial soldiers became very calm because they reissue Lumi, and no one was willing to follow him into the palace to take risks.

Zhang Zhao had already expected that he would fail. He instinctively wanted to find an excuse to escape, but before he could find a reason to say it, he saw Liu Jin coming. What he didn't expect was that Liu Jin was also holding the guards of the imperial horse supervision.

"According to the Emperor's secret order, the imperial guards and the envoy battalions immediately listen to the dispatch of the eunuch Liu Jin, the chief eunuch, and enter the palace to protect the carriage, and follow my orders! If you don't follow, Liu Jin can be executed first and then report!"

After Liu Jin finished speaking, he looked at the officers and soldiers of the imperial guards.

The officers and soldiers of the imperial guards were hurriedly kneeling down under the leadership of the chief officer: "Abide by the order!"

Seeing this, Liu Jin was relieved and immediately stared at Zhang Zhao coldly: "Take Zhang Zhao down! Escort into the palace! If you disobey, execute him on the spot!"

Zhang Zhao knew that he could not escape, so he fell down immediately when he was panicked. Before he could come back to his senses, he was picked up by the two Jingjuns from the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

Liu Jin naturally didn't want to kill Zhang Zhao at this time, he wanted to lingchi Zhang Zhao!

And at this time.

The Minister of War Xu Jin, British Duke Zhang Mao, Taiping Hou Zhang Jie and others also received the order from Zhang Yong at this time and immediately convened the heads of the battalions of the 12th Regiment Battalion to gather together.

Secretary of War Xu Jin, Duke of Britain, and others all knew who Zhang Yong was, so they naturally believed in Zhang Yong's words.

Logically, the 12th Regiment Battalion is a heavy army in the capital and has always been an elite force. Therefore, the Ministry of War must issue a transfer order so that the heads of each battalion can mobilize the army.

Zhu Houzhao first replaced the Minister of War with Xu Jin, which led to his successful mobilization of the regiment camp in the 18th year of Hongzhi.

That night, Xu Jin, Secretary of the Ministry of War, decisively issued a military order, stamped the seal of the Ministry of War, and personally assembled the 12th Regiment Battalion with Zhang Yong, British Duke Zhang Mao and others.

Xu Jin, the Minister of War, led the troops, and the British Duke Zhang Mao and others also led the troops, so they were very efficient and soon came to the palace.

For a moment, the imperial troops and the 12th Regiment Battalion came to the palace city.

The three cabinet masters also heard the footsteps of the army. Among them, the chief assistant of the cabinet Liu Jian only laughed: "It seems that Zhang Zhao has really started to act. I hope he and Wang Yue don't let us down. Two cabinet masters, do you want to hear the news of Your Majesty's sudden death or do you want to hear the news of Liu Jin's death?"

Both Li Dongyang and Xie Qian laughed proudly. Among them, Li Dongyang looked at his proud disciple Yang Tinghe: "Yang Tinghe has been in the East Palace for a long time, and now he is still the Grand Secretary of Zuo Chunfang. He is also the real teacher of His Majesty. I believe he hopes that Liu Jin will be executed!"

Yang Tinghe smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

Xie Qianze also laughed and said, "You hear the footsteps getting more and more intense. You can see that there will be no peace in the palace today. Tomorrow is the time to give a comfort ceremony in the morning. I hope you don't just put on auspicious clothes and then change into awesome clothes."

At this time, in the palace, the eunuch Wang Yue, the chief sealer of the Sili Supervisor, also got news from Lu He.

"Old ancestors, a large number of officers and soldiers have entered the imperial city," Lu He said.
