Chapter 1145 Heading to Liaoyang
Gao Yan knew the elegant meaning of the song after hearing it, but when he heard that Gao Zhan was still fussing about it, he pricked his finger with a knife and wrote an oath on the silk with blood, saying that after the marriage was completed, he would live forever.
Gao Zhan naturally didn't even bother to shout when he saw this, but he took it faster than anyone else. Before the blood was dry, he picked up the silk book as if he had found a treasure.
"Today's important matter has not been completed. If it cannot be accomplished in the end, my brother's concern about this incident will only add to the laughter. You only need to know this, and there is no need to publicize it to the outside world!"
Seeing Gao Zhan's appearance, Gao Yan couldn't help but said in a deep voice.
Gao Zhan's wish came true and he was in a happy mood. After hearing this, he nodded repeatedly and said: "Brother, don't worry. I know the seriousness of the matter and will never leak it to the outside world! After all, it is still not allowed to openly attack the Supreme Being at the moment. How can my brother do the same? Arguing about the ownership of the throne!"
Gao Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that this guy was finally not so dizzy that he could not understand.
However, since he had made such an important promise to appease Gao Zhan, of course he had to gain something, so he then spoke again: "Yang Min died suddenly last night, and we need to unite the sentiments in the name of hoeing off the traitor and admonishing the superior. Yedu Don't be stubborn. I plan to send King Xianyang to Fukou in advance to observe the situation. If Liaoyang is not aware of the situation yet, we need to go straight to Liaoyang. If something unexpected happens to the west, we need to defend Fukou. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, the prince. If you need to go with the army, hurry up and bring the prince here!"
After hearing this, Gao Zhan naturally hesitated. His political vigilance is also extremely high, and he naturally knows in his heart that the identity of the prince will be of great value in the course of the following events. It is also the biggest card in his hand now. If he really wants to hand it over like this, he is still a little reluctant to part with it.
Just after touching the silk book that he had put in his arms, he also knew that he had to make a choice now. If he wanted to have both, he was afraid that his brother was very talkative just now. He is about to fall out immediately.
So after pondering for a while, he simply nodded and said: "The prince's status is extraordinary, and if it is used in a magical way, it will be of great benefit. I am here just to hand over the prince to my brother, so that you can rely on this Calmly manage both inside and outside.”
Gao Yan's expression softened slightly when he heard that Gao Zhan was quite sensible. The private conversation between the brothers came to an end for the time being, and then he began to summon the counselors and other counselors to assign the next tasks.
First of all, regarding the Imperial Army, which he was too busy to deal with personally last night, he took the lead in sending people to the Santai Camp to recruit Gao Rui, Prince of Zhao County, who was under house arrest. He personally went to the Shangshu Provincial Hall to wait for the reception.
After Gao Rui was led here, he hurriedly stepped forward to bow to Gao Rui and said with an apologetic look: "I'm really sorry for disturbing my cousin last night. But I was forced to have no choice but to do it as a last resort. I hope my cousin can be considerate. The current situation inside and outside the capital is in a state of flux, and it is especially important to appease people's feelings for the sake of the stability of the family and the country. I hope my cousin can put aside the past grudges and work with my brothers to control the situation and calm people's feelings. "
Gao Rui had spent the past night feeling extremely tormented. He had been worrying about what kind of punishment and torture he would face after dawn. At this time, seeing Gao Yan still treating him politely, he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He first bowed slightly to Gao Yan, and then couldn't help but ask: "Excuse me, Your Majesty, where is Your Highness the Crown Prince now? What will happen next, Your Majesty and others?"
"The prince is intact and residing peacefully in the inner palace. My cousin will see you later. As for the future plan, alas, I am actually at a loss. I need to discuss it with the masses."
Naturally, Gao Yan will not reveal all his plans to Gao Rui. He just needs Gao Rui's cooperation to more firmly control the personnel of the Forbidden Army and the Governor's Office. At least until the end of this coup, he will not let Gao Rui Rui is involved in core personnel matters.
After introducing Gao Rui into the hall, Gao Yan summoned brothers Gao Zhan and Hu Luguang, as well as other counselors from the clan and the generals of the Forbidden Army to redistribute the military power of the Forbidden Army.
He first appointed Gao Zhan as the temporary governor of the capital to control the military in the territory, and arranged for Gao Rui to assist him. Hu Luguang, who was in charge of the imperial army yesterday, handed over the military power of the imperial army and only selected 5,000 elite troops from the imperial army to march directly to Go in the direction of Fukou.
Five thousand soldiers of the Forbidden Army are already the largest force they can control and ensure their availability in a short period of time. After all, the Forbidden Army has always been regarded as a favorite by the emperor, and it is difficult for Jinyang Xungui and others to intervene for a long time. They occasionally serve as The generals of the Forbidden Army are also rotated for a short period of time and it is difficult to stay in office for a long time.
After Hu Luguang received the order from King Changshan last night, he had sent a thousand elite soldiers to guard Fukou. But Fukou is not the only way to enter and leave the Taihang Mountains, especially if some small groups of people want to flee westward. Even if the pass is guarded, it will be difficult to prevent this situation.
Therefore, Hu Luguang's troops need to rush to Fukou as soon as possible to wait and see what happens. If everything goes as usual, they will disguise themselves as a team transporting supplies and go straight to Liaoyang.
Gao Yan also cannot stay in the capital. He will lead the army outside the city and set off later. However, he was not at ease about leaving the capital's military affairs completely to Gao Zhan and others, so after Hu Luguang handed over military power, he appointed Hu Lvxian as the leading general. Of course, he was only a temporary leader. At the moment, he did not have the power to be justified. These officials are appointed to these official positions, but as long as a tacit understanding can be reached within their small group, they can still exercise their powers.
After Hu Luguang, who had the most urgent mission, was ordered, Dangzhi, accompanied by Gao Rui, went to Santai Camp to select sergeants and set off immediately. As for Gao Yan, the capital's personnel still need to be properly arranged.
Last night was dark and sudden changes occurred, which naturally made people panic. All the officials in Taiwan Province huddled in the official offices, not daring to go out easily to check the situation for fear of being injured by the insurrectionary soldiers.
After daybreak, I saw that although Taiwan Province was occupied and controlled by foreign soldiers, the order was not out of control, so I felt a little relieved, and some high-ranking officials also regained their courage.
Gao Yan was still in the hall explaining the specific personnel adjustments within the Forbidden Army. Suddenly he heard a loud quarrel coming from outside the hall. He felt unhappy and asked in a deep voice: "What's the noise outside?"
"Your Majesty, it is Cui Pushe and others who are quarreling and want to enter the Zhitang."
After hearing this, the outside guards hurriedly went inside to report.
Cui Ang stayed at Shangshu Province last night and was directly controlled in the province. Hu Luxian was worried that he might disturb the personnel of Shangshu Province and placed him elsewhere. After waiting uneasily in the second half of the night, after dawn and seeing that the situation was not completely out of control, Cui Ang hoped to return to the province, but was blocked by soldiers from outside.
"Do you sergeants know who I am? This is the Minister's Provincial Hall, and I am the Minister's servant, but I am not allowed to enter!"
Cui Ang wanted to enter the Shangshu Provincial Hall, not only to collect and preserve some documents and materials, but also to urgently find out what happened last night. Just seeing that order can still be maintained in the imperial city, it can be seen that the perpetrators are not extremely evil, and they still have basic requirements for order.
Gao Yan had almost arranged the affairs at this time, so he signaled the generals to withdraw temporarily, vacated the straight hall, and asked Cui Ang to be invited in. After Cui Ang entered, he looked at the other party and said with a smile : "Cui Pushe, I temporarily used the Provincial Central Hall to gather people to discuss matters, which delayed the normal provincial affairs. Please forgive me."
Of course, Cui Ang dared to directly question Gao Yan, but he clasped his fists in shock and said, "Excuse me, Your Majesty, what happened last night so far? Why did Your Majesty order the Dian army to enter the province? How can the lower officials and others coordinate and cooperate? Please let Your Majesty make it clear."
"Alas, traitorous ministers came to the court, causing misfortune to the family and the country, and civil strife. Yang Zunyen did not fulfill his responsibilities while in office, and treated the soldiers harshly, so that a mutiny broke out in the military camp outside the city. I was hastily ordered to go out of the town to appease the people, and the mutiny was already over. , but Yang Min still refused to give in to the public opinion and just went his own way, and as a result he was harmed..."
Before Gao Yan finished speaking, Cui Ang's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately shouted in shock: "Mr. Yang was killed or dead?"
Gao Yan made no secret of this and had Yang Min's body dragged out and placed in front of the Minister's Provincial Hall. At this time, not only Cui Ang, but other court officials also came after hearing the news. When they saw Yang Min's horrific death, they couldn't help but gasp for a moment, feeling frightened in their hearts. Incessantly.
"I will go out of the capital to the west together with His Highness the Crown Prince to welcome the Supreme Being back to the capital. But before leaving, I need to explain the matter a little bit. Young Master Wei is so talented that he needs to explain in detail Yang Min's death method for pen and paper. For the supreme reading and approval!”
Gao Yan directly asked Wei Shou to be led out of the crowd, who was wiping his sweat from his head, and invited him alone into a wing on the side of the straight hall.
The furnishings in the wing are simple, with a seat and a plain table. There are two objects in front of the table, one is a basket filled with gold, and the other is a blood-stained steel knife.
This meaning is self-evident. When Wei Shou saw this scene, cold sweat broke out on his forehead even more. He has never been known for his integrity. He had seen the miserable state of Yang Min's body before, so naturally he did not want to end up in the same end, so After weighing it for a while, he picked up his pen and began to write a document exposing the administrative chaos and stained crimes of Yang Min.
He is indeed a talented person. Even though he was very nervous and uneasy at the moment, as his literary thoughts were opened and turned quickly, thousands of words were written immediately. After he finished writing, he put down his writing brush, stood up and stood by the desk, waiting for King Changshan to come in and read and revise.
Gao Yan was quite satisfied to see Wei Shou being so well-behaved and knowledgeable. When he picked up the article and saw Lieutenant General Yang Min's criticism, the smile on his face grew wider and he asked someone to come forward to help Wei Shou lift the basket. Huang Jin then nodded to the man and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Young Master Wei."
After saying that, he picked up the memorandum of condemnation against Yang Min and returned to the Shangshu Provincial Hall. He summoned the ministers one by one and asked them to read the memorandum and sign it to express their support for Yang Min. Penalty liquidation.
