Chapter 45 Uneasy

Chang'an, Jingzhao County Office, Jingzhao Yin and the assistant officials celebrated the New Year's Day. As Jingzhao Yin, Xu Faguang, should enter the palace to attend the grand court meeting in Japan, but for some consideration, he convened the assistant officials to celebrate the New Year's Day in the county office.

Jingzhao, originally referred to Chang'an, was the capital of the Ji Zhou king. After the Qin Dynasty, it was called the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the Han Dynasty.

The capital of Zhou State, Chang'an, was under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao County, Yongzhou. However, the chief official of Jingzhao County was not called "county magistrate", but was called "yin", that is, Jingzhao Yin. According to the Zhou State official system, Jingzhao Yin was the eight-destined official.

Xu Faguang, the current Jingzhao Yin, was the governor of Yuezhou under the Anzhou General Administration. Because of his son Xu Shao, he became the member of the then Anzhou General Administration and Duke Yuwen Liang. Now, as Duke Qi becomes King Qi, Xu Faguang, as an old subordinate, has also risen with the rise.

Jingzhao Yin, who is of eight destiny, is in charge of Jingzhao area. In the capital where the powerful and powerful are everywhere, being Jingzhao Yin is a chore. Because of the law enforcement, it is inevitable that the powerful and the children will provoke them. If you are not careful, you will be unlucky.

Jingzhao Yin, who has eight fates, often has to deal with senior officials and dukes of Zheng Jiuming, Jiuming, and Zheng Baming, and is a little shorter in terms of rank, not to mention a group of generals above the generals, who are all higher than him.

The powerful occupies a wide area in the Jingzhao area and have high families such as the Wei family, so the administrative environment of Jingzhao Yin is extremely harsh.

How to strictly enforce the law and maintain order in Jingzhao is a problem that previous Jingzhao Yin must face.

However, this problem is relatively easy to solve, that is, just have the absolute trust of the emperor.

Now, the emperor actually does not have much real power in his hands. The backer of Jingzhao Yin Xu Faguang is Qi Wang Yuwen Liang. It is precisely with Qi Wang as a strong backing that Xu Faguang, Jingzhao Yin, can be both competent and stable.

But this does not mean that Xu Faguang can rest assured. Now that there is undercurrents in Chang'an City, he is a man of King Qi, so he naturally understands how heavy the burden on his shoulders is.

Today, the yen meeting, and both the King of Qi and the prince will enter the palace, which means that once something happens in the palace, the situation will be very dangerous. If potential political enemies plan any conspiracy in the palace, the King of Qi and his son need a reliable person to support them outside.

Xu Faguang is one of them, who is in charge of Jingzhao County Bureau in case of accidents. If something happens in the palace, then he will respond as planned and lead his troops into the palace if necessary.

The five gates of the palace are all under the control of King Qi's confidant, and King Qi's control over the imperial guards is also tight, but this does not mean that King Qi can rest assured. After all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs. It is still a matter of whether those who swear loyalty on weekdays are reliable at critical moments.

Xu Faguang's son Xu Shao was very close to King Bin Yuwen Wen. In a sense, Xu Shao was Xu Faguang's hostage on King Qi's side. It is precisely because of this that Xu Faguang was able to gain King Qi's high trust and confront potential political hostilities as a hawk.

The so-called political enemy is actually the emperor. Xu Faguang is not disrespectful to the emperor, but reality forces him to do so. In any case, the fate of Xu Faguang and his son is already connected with the fate of King Qi (father and son).

Somehow, Xu Faguang, who was in the Jingzhao Office, suddenly felt a little uneasy. He looked at the officials present and found nothing wrong.

During the meal, the subordinates were drinking and talking. No one left the table, nor did anyone do anything unusual.

Xu Faguang calmed down his mind, remained calm, and continued to chat and laugh with his subordinates. At this moment, he suddenly heard a clamor in the direction of the front door of the official office outside the hall, followed by shouts and horns.

This was an alarm, which meant that someone was going to attack or even attack the Jingzhao County Bureau. Xu Faguang felt a stern and immediately stood up. At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the direction of the front door, and then a wave of air rushed towards him.

The officials in the hall were covered in dust by the wave of air. Xu Faguang, who had just stood up, barely stabilized his body. Looking at the thick smoke outside the hall, he knew in his heart that someone was attacking the official office with thunder.

In the flash of lightning, the second explosion followed one after another, then the third and fourth time, most of the buildings in the Jingzhao Office were covered with thick smoke. At the same time, explosions also came from the direction of the palace.

......

Then two or three explosions came, the northern gate of the palace, Xuanwu Gate, was in a mess. When the gatekeeper intercepted the carriage that suddenly rushed over on the street, he was affected by the explosive carriage, causing heavy casualties.

The closed palace gate was significantly damaged under the attack of the self-destructive carriage. Although the door was still closed, it had lost its function as a "door".

The imperial guards archers on the walls of the palace city stood up in a panic. Many of them were blown down by the waves of big explosions and even bleeding from their ears and noses. A general looked at the streets outside the palace city and saw that no one else rushed over, and couldn't help but wonder.

What's going on? If someone wants to force himself into the palace, why don't there be any follow-up troops attacking now?

In any case, someone did try to attack the imperial palace, and the Xuanwu Gate was damaged. The imperial guards could not resist the attack of illegal people by closing the palace gate. They had to find a way to block the door immediately.

The carts that had been prepared were pushed behind the broken palace gate by the imperial guards. The carriage was filled with heavy sandbags and could not be pushed open easily. The imperial guards could use these carriages to hold the palace gate tightly.

At the same time, the imperial guards stationed elsewhere in the palace rushed to reinforce the attacked Xuanwu Gate, and the other three gates of the palace, Chongyang Gate (East), Ying Gate (South), and Suzhang Gate (West) were also closed soon.

The Imperial Guard, under the control of King Qi, today's yen meeting, the Imperial Guard generals have made sufficient preparations in advance. Once someone attacks the palace gate and tries to break into the palace, no matter what the situation is, the Imperial Guard's primary task is to close the palace gate.

Isolate China and abroad, prevent people from coming in, and do not allow civil and military officials who are participating in the Yuan Dynasty to go out.

The generals knew very well that if someone attacked today, the mastermind behind the scenes, even if he was not the emperor, he was still around the emperor. The other party was at an extreme disadvantage. The only chance of reversal was to assassinate the Qi King and his son successfully.

Just like Emperor Wu of this dynasty killed King Jin, or Emperor Yuan Ziyou of Wei killed Erzhu Rong, the emperor with only one power took risks and chose to launch a palace change to kill the powerful ministers directly, which led to the powerful ministers having no leader and inappropriate response, so that the emperor had the opportunity to fight back.

Then, once something similar happens today, the imperial party must not be allowed to contact the outside world, and the civil and military officials on both ends of the head and rat can not be allowed to use the opportunity to speculate or connect with each other.

At the same time, the imperial party’s troops should not be allowed to attack the palace from outside the palace, and the opponent will not be given a chance to turn the tables.

Only when the imperial guards are isolated from China and abroad and ensure that they are isolated from the inside and outside for at least a period of time can they be convenient for "acting".

Whoever and what he does is not a matter of concern to the soldiers of the Imperial Army. It is said that the Imperial Army should obey the emperor, but in fact the emperor cannot command the Imperial Army. The Imperial Army generals only obey the little Sima appointed by King Qi.

Therefore, everyone will regard what will happen in the palace as if they have not seen it.

Maybe it's calm, maybe blood splatters five steps, but for the soldiers of the imperial guards, it has nothing to do with themselves, and the generals will do whatever they ask themselves to do.
