Emperor Chengrui attached great importance to this grandson, and the full moon banquet for the prince's direct son was held very grandly, which reassured the members of the princeling party a lot.

Because of the birth of his grandson, Emperor Chengrui found the prince much pleasing to the eye, and temporarily had no idea of ​​"abolishing the prince".

Of course, this has something to do with Emperor Chengrui's great desire to get rid of Prince Zhongshun. The birth of his grandson not only made the prince's position more stable, but also made Emperor Chengrui's throne more stable.

Emperor Chengrui thought that the time was ripe, so he raised his butcher's knife, ready to attack Prince Zhongshun...

Then, Emperor Chengrui did not expect that Prince Zhongshun was not a toothless tiger, but a vicious wolf, a desperate red-eyed wolf!

The time chosen by Prince Zhongshun to be on the "Qingjun side" was not late at night, but daytime. It was not that Prince Zhongshun was bold and wanted to raise the flag to rebel against the bright world, but he had to do it as a last resort.

With the help of Lin Ruhai, Yang Ji and others, Emperor Chengrui did not discover Prince Zhongshun's secret plot, but he was still cautious all the time. The Forbidden City was fortified at every step, like an iron barrel.

As a last resort, Prince Zhongshun set the time for the "coup d'état" in the daytime...

This day is a very ordinary day. From the emperor and empress to the poor people, they are all doing various things as usual. Except for a few people, no one would have thought that the capital of the Ming Empire The Forbidden City in the center is about to flow into rivers of blood.

After the Great Court Meeting, Emperor Chengrui returned to the East Palace to deal with state affairs. Disasters have been rampant recently. Emperor Chengrui is indeed a good emperor who loves the people like a son, so he did not have a good rest for several nights.

While Emperor Chengrui was worrying about the people affected by the disaster, there was a sudden change in a certain unit of the Beijing camp stationed in the suburbs of Beijing. The whole army went into battle lightly and galloped in the direction of Shenjing.

In order to ensure the safety of Shenjing, the Jingying camp is very close to Shenjing. In less than an hour, the department arrived outside the city gate of Shenjing.

Facing the panic-stricken people outside the city, this army raised its butcher knife without any hesitation, and the cavalry charged, stepping on the flesh and blood of the people, and rushed into the city gate.

Blood flowed like rivers inside and outside the city gate, but the sergeants on the city gate watched with cold eyes. The reason is very simple. The reason why the commander of the sergeants on the city "failed to close the city gate in time" was because he was also a participant in the coup d'état. I don't know if he is a loyal prince, or Lin Ruhai, the chief assistant of the cabinet...

This army was one of the trump cards of Prince Zhongshun's coup d'etat. After entering the city, this army did not stop at all, and rushed to the Forbidden City located in the center of Shenjing.

On the street leading from the city gate to the palace, blood flowed like a river. Countless civilians who escaped untimely were trampled into flesh by galloping military horses. The street that was very prosperous at one moment turned into a hell on earth the next moment. Blood, white brains, covered the ground...

Although this army is composed of elite sergeants, it is lightly armed and does not carry siege equipment, and the imperial city is not inferior to any military fortress.

It stands to reason that this army should be helpless under the imperial city, and then it was killed by the "King's Division".

But this is not the case. When this army arrived under the imperial city, a palace gate opened silently, welcoming the army into the imperial city.

The person guarding the gate of the palace is Prince Zhongshun's internal response in the palace, and the confidant of Daming Palace who holds the power in the palace.

As the emperor's confidant eunuch, after Emperor Chengrui came to power, although Dai Quan was still in charge of the Daming Palace, the power in his hands was not as good as before.

Dai Quan held a grudge, and secretly took refuge in Prince Zhongshun. Although Dai Quan's power was not as good as before, he was an old man who had been in the palace for decades.

For Dai Quan, it is still possible to open a palace door.

Dai Quan used this palace gate as a certificate of nomination, and officially boarded Prince Zhongshun's chariot.

After entering the palace gate, there is no fortress that can stop the rebels. Prince Zhongshun is only a few steps away from success.

After this army entered Beijing, the gates of the city were slowly closed, and the Beijing camp with [-] elite soldiers was blocked from the city gate. .

The reason is very simple, this is Beijing, if the city is attacked, then even if Emperor Chengrui wins the coup in the end, the Jingying Jiedu envoy who led the army to attack the city will also be killed.

The only thing the Jingying Jiedushi can do is to lead the army to line up outside the city gate, surround Shenjing, and then negotiate with the gatekeepers and the nine gate admirals, asking them to open the city gate.

The current admiral of the Nine Gates is also a member of Emperor Chengrui, but he dared not open the city gate to let the tiger and wolf troops from the Beijing camp in.

Emperor Chengrui has not been in power for a long time, and he has not fully controlled the Beijing camp. In the capital camp, there are many hills, and the nine admirals dare not let people into the city. If they come in, they are also rebels. There is no place for the nine admirals to cry. .

Fearing that the city would be destroyed, Yamen, the infantry commander to which Admiral Nine Gates belonged, placed half of his troops under the city wall, and then sent the remaining troops to the palace to rescue him.

In this way, the two confidantes of Emperor Chengrui, the Admiral of the Nine Gates and the Jiedu Envoy of the Beijing Camp, were restrained under the city wall by "pig teammates". The other party is Prince Zhongshun.

Relying on a secret plan, Prince Zhongshun made a beautiful time difference, and with only a small amount of manpower, he blocked the [-] soldiers of the Beijing camp outside the city wall, and kept the "royalists" in Beijing, including the nine admirals, temporarily blocked from the palace.

From the perspective of Shenjing as a whole, Prince Zhongshun's power is far inferior to that of Emperor Chengrui, but if you only look at the imperial city, Prince Zhongshun has the upper hand.

From the moment he rebelled, Prince Zhongshun knew that he had no way out.

The troops were swift, and after Prince Zhongshun and the rebels met outside the imperial city, they led the rebels to attack the East Palace where Emperor Chengrui lived with lightning speed.

Guarding the safety of the emperor's family in the Forbidden City are the Yulin Army and Long Jinwei. The selection of members of these two armies is not based on the military skills and abilities of the soldiers, but their family background. Almost all members of the Yulin Army and Long Jinwei are descendants of noble families. I just use these two armies as stepping stones to "promote and get rich" to enrich my resume, that's all.

Therefore, the strength of Yulin Army and Long Jinwei can be imagined.

Scattered all over the imperial city, the Yulin Army and Long Jinwei, with a maximum size of no more than a hundred people, were like paper in front of the rebels who regarded death as home and would be benevolent if they failed.

In this way, the rebels quickly rushed to the East Palace and blocked Emperor Chengrui inside.

The rebels had already arrived at the East Palace, but Emperor Chengrui still didn't realize it, it wasn't that Emperor Chengrui's IQ was not enough, it was really Prince Zhongshun's plan, it was too simple and rude!

That's right, Prince Zhongshun's plan is so simple and rude. Prince Zhongshun understands that no matter how he arranges plans in Shenjing, his power is far inferior to that of Emperor Chengrui.

If you want to succeed, you have to put it to death and survive.

Originally, Prince Zhongshun had a will to die, but the secret surrender of the gatekeeper of the city and Dai Quan, the head of the Daming Palace, made Prince Zhongshun see the hope of victory.

Now, Prince Zhongshun rushed into the East Palace on a tall horse and led a team of tigers and wolves. This was the place he had fought for for decades but couldn't get it. Prince Zhongshun was very excited.

Looking at the Eastern Palace which is close at hand, Prince Zhongshun whipped his horse and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the dog thief who imprisoned Emperor Father is inside, rush in, and whoever kills him, I will let Emperor Father make him a king!" Duke of the state, hereditary will never replace him, and he will enjoy wealth and honor forever!"

All of a sudden, the crowd was excited, and all the soldiers of the rebel army rushed to the palace where Emperor Chengrui was, for the illusory goal of "enjoying wealth forever".

The rebels surrounded the East Palace. Emperor Chengrui was trapped in a palace room, and there were only a hundred loyal guards around him. The head of Emperor Chengrui's guards led his men to guard the gate of the palace and repelled them. Wave after wave of attacks by the rebels lost most of their men, and the rest were all wounded.

The head of the guards wiped the blood from his face, turned around and said to Emperor Chengrui: "Your Majesty, I am outnumbered and outnumbered. I am here to block the rebels. Run away quickly. As long as you can escape, there is hope for a comeback!"

Emperor Chengrui did not expect the current situation. After learning that Prince Zhongshun had turned against him, Emperor Chengrui was not surprised but pleased, thinking that this was a golden opportunity to kill Prince Zhongshun without having to bear the infamy.

Emperor Chengrui didn't know Prince Zhongshun's plan, and thought that his side had an absolute advantage in Shenjing, and it would be effortless to wipe out the rebels.

When he learned of Prince Zhongshun's rebellion, the loyal head of the guards around Emperor Chengrui advised Emperor Chengrui to "avoid danger" and go to a safe place to command the battle.

However, Emperor Chengrui entrusted him with great care, thinking that Prince Zhongshun would not be able to make waves, and also felt that the incident of "avoiding danger" would damage his reputation in the history books, so he entrusted him with his own will, guarding the East Palace and sending people to dispatch troops Send generals to wipe out the rebels.

As a result, the reinforcements did not see it, but the rebels had already reached the East Palace, making Emperor Chengrui's situation very dangerous.

Hearing the words of his confidant guards, Emperor Chengrui's expression changed unpredictably, and then he said: "I won't leave, I believe in my own vision, I believe that my subordinates will come back to rescue you, and I don't believe that he can hide from me that he has such a great power. The forces, the size of the rebel army will definitely not be too large!"

I don't know whether Emperor Chengrui is comforting himself or his subordinates.

All in all, the decision made by Emperor Chengrui is - to stick to it and wait for reinforcements!

It would be very interesting if someone could overlook the situation in Shenjing from the sky.

The rebel army surrounded Emperor Chengrui's palace, and there were only a hundred loyal guards around Emperor Chengrui, guarding Emperor Chengrui to death.

The sergeant of the infantry commanding the yamen surrounded the East Palace and the rebel army regiments. In terms of military strength, the rebel army did not have an advantage.

The elite of the Beijing camp surrounded Shenjing. If we talk about the entire Shenjing, the rebels have no advantage at all, unless...

Unless, Prince Zhongshun killed Emperor Chengrui and the crown prince, took control of the Supreme Emperor, and then issued an order in the name of the Supreme Emperor to make himself emperor!

In addition, Emperor Chengrui was right, he had a good vision, and the admirals of the Nine Gates and the Jiedu Envoy of the Beijing Camp were indeed loyal to him, but if he died, the Supreme Emperor ordered them to be loyal to the new emperor ?

Prince Zhongshun didn't control many rebels, only a few thousand people, but they were divided into three groups. Along the way, he personally led and surrounded the East Palace, preparing to kill Emperor Chengrui, and led by Prince Zhongshun's confidants all the way to Qianqing Palace. Protect the "Taishanghuang".

On the other hand, Prince Zhongshun sent him to the prince's residence, planning to kill the prince.

If Prince Zhongshun wants to be the final winner instead of making wedding dresses for others, then Prince Zhongshun must kill Emperor Chengrui and the prince before the enemy reinforcements arrive, and then go to Qianqing Palace, in the name of the Supreme Emperor, Order yourself to ascend the throne as the emperor and become the emperor of Ming Dynasty!

Because, if Emperor Chengrui and the crown prince were both dead, among the sons of the Supreme Emperor, Prince Zhongshun, the eldest, would be the most "righteous" heir...

Time is very urgent, Prince Zhongshun must race against time!

The author has something to say: I am a political novice, and I tried my best to write this coup more realistically, but I am still not satisfied. I hope the girls can understand, and I will continue to work hard!
