Chapter 1697 Renzijuan’s Cold War

Only Feng Ziying knew that he was exaggerating this time, but he had to do so.

If we don't stir up the anger of this group of people, I'm afraid that some people in this group of people will kneel down secretly. As long as one person's attitude is ambiguous or softens, then Prince Yitada will quickly find a breakthrough, and then the situation may change. Out of control.

What Feng Ziying has to do is to toughen the attitude of these people. At least they must withstand the pressure and fear in these few days and persist until the battle in Gonghua City is resolved.

If he loses, what Feng Ziying said is just a joke, but at that time, the people of Jiangshan Yiding have already been attracted to compete for the new imperial cabinet and the positions of the seven ministries. How can anyone come back to care about what Feng Ziying boasted about? Cowhide?

Besides, Feng Ziying is just a twenty-year-old young man, arrogant, arrogant, and arrogant. Isn’t that normal behavior for people of this age?

From Feng Ziying's perspective, although he was very optimistic about the combat effectiveness of He Huchen's troops, the Xuanfu army was inferior, and the Xuanfu army came with all their strength. Among the five military battalions and even the Shenji battalion that King Zhonghui could mobilize, how many of them could Achieve the combat effectiveness of He Huchenbu?

He Huchen's troops only have more than 3,000 men. Even if they rely on Gonghua City to defend, how many rounds of attacks can they withstand from the Xuanfu army?

Since the words have been said, Feng Ziying doesn’t care anymore. After all, it will take that battle to test the combat effectiveness of He Huchen’s department. Of course, this result may have too much impact, and it will determine whether the country will change its color, but no one can choose.

Seeing Feng Ziying finish speaking, Fang Congzhe, Qi Yongtai, and Li Tingji discussed it, and they could only set the tone like this. No matter what, they had to wait until after the battle between Jingying, Jizhen Army and Xuanfu Army.

As Feng Ziying said, the situation was not out of control yet, and the court had originally made arrangements. For example, Yang Yuan, the commander-in-chief of Datong Town, and Chai Guozhu, the commander-in-chief of Shanxi Town, should have received the news and responded at this time.

As long as Jingying and Jizhen withstand this round of Xuanfu Army's attack, the situation will be greatly improved. Shanxi Town and Datong Town will begin to attack from the west to the east, and Jizhen will attack the Xuanfu Army. Failure is foreseeable.

While a group of people were discussing all night, many people outside Yonglong Emperor's palace also stayed up all night.

When the situation evolved to this point, some people had expected it, such as Zhang Chi and Xu Junru, as well as Su Lingyao, Zhang Qi and Zhang Ji. Perhaps they were only involved in part of it and did not know the whole incident. , but this does not prevent them from being happy to see this happen.

 No matter what caused Emperor Yonglong's coma, now that it is a fact, is it time to establish a throne?

This is a question that many people are concerned about, but when the news that Prince Yi Zhong sent Niu Jizong's Xuanfu army to advance towards the capital city spread in the palace, these people suddenly realized that the situation did not seem to be what they expected. It developed in that direction, but in a completely different direction.

Only then did they discover that Prince Yi Zhong, who was really hiding behind the scenes, suddenly had such great power. After Emperor Yonglong suddenly fell into coma, the group of them had no confidence and confidence at all when facing Prince Yi Zhong's strong attack. There is room for counterattack. Everything on our side seems to be based on the safety and health of Emperor Yonglong. Without this support, they will be nothing.

They could only watch the drastic changes in the situation. However, the three ministers of the cabinet who arrived and the seven ministers who had previously stayed here seemed not to consider or care about their thoughts and opinions, and directly excluded them.

Although the martial law situation has not been lifted, many people can move freely. Princes like Zhang Chi, Zhang Qi, Zhang Ji, Zhang So, Zhang Ji and their mothers can gather and communicate freely, but others certainly cannot.

Because everyone realizes that Tienwang Mountain is no longer the place that determines who belongs to the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, but lies in the battle of Gonghua City and the siege of Jingshi City. Unless Emperor Yonglong suddenly wakes up, the imperial doctors all hold a pessimistic attitude. .

“Mother, what should we do now?” Zhang Chi was dressed roughly and his eyes were bloodshot.

He never thought that the uncle wanted to support him and only wanted to let them go after he ascended the throne. Why did the situation suddenly change, and the uncle wanted to supervise the country, and even wanted to be the brother-in-law? How is this possible?

Only now did he realize that his uncle's advantages were so great, even far beyond his own self-feeling. He had the support of the army in Xuanfu Town, the support of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, the support of the martial arts heroes in Beijing, and How can you compare the popularity and connections you have accumulated over twenty years of being a prince?

 The only support for myself and my brothers is my father, but now my father...?

Zhang Chi felt cold in his heart. Maybe his uncle had already figured out all of this and he was just a chess piece in his hands, even a dispensable chess piece. Just like the news from Long Jinwei, from horses to pills The medicine and even the assassination were prepared in two batches. It can be said that one step after another, there is no flaw, and we must do what we want to do.

Now that the Xuanfu army has entered the capital city in one fell swoop, who can stop the uncle from ascending the throne? It seems that the scene of "the change of seizing the door" in the previous Ming Dynasty is exactly the same as today's situation, right?

Perhaps Fang Congzhe, Qi Yongtai and Li Tingji came over to organize a group of people to discuss in the side hall, just to discuss how to welcome Niu Jizong's army to Beijing and how to celebrate the uncle's enthronement?

 Xu Junru was also confused.

When it comes to palace intrigues, she is certainly not inferior to others, but in the face of this situation, she cannot interfere with everything outside the palace. It seems that the three ministers in the cabinet who came here did not even pay much attention to her. Of course, Several other concubines received the same attitude, so what can she do now?

If we were to choose the heirloom among the princes Zhang Chi, Zhang Qi, Zhang Ji, Zhang So and Zhang Ji, Xu Junru felt that she still had a chance to compete with several cabinet ministers, but now it would not be her turn at all. It is the eldest brother-in-law who wants to ascend to the throne and completely cut off the hope of the emperor's lineage!

How can this be done?

 But what can I do?

"Chi'er, don't be anxious. Look at the attitude of the princes. They don't show much anxiety or despair." Xu Junru calmed down, "Although your father is in a coma, I asked the imperial doctor that the head injury is not serious." It's heavy, and the effect of taking the elixir won't be like this. It may be caused by the impact and the temporary stagnation of Qi and blood. After a short rest, you should be able to relax..."

Xu Junru's words of comfort to herself and Zhang Chi made Zhang Chi feel a little calmer, "Mom, but the imperial doctor also said that my father can only be raised slowly and wait for recovery, but the uncle is so aggressive, and there is not much time left. Once the uncle is really After succeeding, all the ministers in the court surrendered, and that was the second 'gate-stealing coup'. Even if the father wakes up in the end, I'm afraid..."

Zhang Chi didn't say any more, but Xu Junru understood that waking up was equivalent to not waking up. The situation in the court had completely changed. It might even be worse than the previous situation for the eldest brother-in-law. The eldest brother-in-law would never let the story happen again. of.

Zhang Chi’s words hit the key point. If the time drags on for ten days and a half, or even a month or two, maybe the father will wake up, but will Prince Yi Zhong tolerate it until then?

 Perhaps we will see the results within three to five days.

For three to five days, Zhang Chi shuddered when he thought of this. Once his uncle supervises the country or even ascends the throne, he will be like the sons of his eighth uncle and ninth uncle, living around and waiting to die as a rich idler. Over yourself?

 No, we cannot just sit back and wait for death.

"Mother, we can't wait like this. Maybe we should join forces with others at this time. We can't wait for them to decide our fate." Zhang Chi's face became more ferocious, "I believe Zhang Qi, Zhang Ji, Zhang So, Zhang Ji, Su Lingyao, Mei Yuexi and Guo Qinjun also don't want to see it. If the uncle can't take the throne, we all still have a chance. No matter which one of our brothers becomes the emperor, the others can still hang out. We are a prince, but if uncle takes over, we will be reduced to second-class princes, and uncle’s sons will ride on our heads..."

Xu Junru was also moved by her son's words. Thinking about it, once the uncle ascends the throne, everyone will be kicked out of the palace and find a house in a back street to live in old age, and the uncle's wives and concubines will replace them. , suddenly became the new owner of the Great Zhou Palace. This kind of contrast is simply too much to think about.

 It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. How many people can endure this kind of life?

“Chi’er, what do you mean…”

"Let's find Su Lingyao, Mei Yuexi and Guo Qinyun together. Let's join forces to meet Fang Congzhe and Qi Yongtai. We must mobilize all the resources that can be mobilized. We must not agree with Prince Yi Zhong to supervise the country. We must wait until Father wakes up..." Zhang Chi gritted his teeth.

At this time, he had realized that he might have been tricked by his uncle. Fortunately, he had never had any direct contact with his uncle. Everyone was vague and tacitly understood. Even if his uncle wanted to bite him, he could still pretend to be the uncle's. It was a counterargument that he wanted to create chaos in his own side and profit from it.

"But if the Xuanfu army really breaks into the capital city, then..." Xu Junru is more concerned about this. Once the Xuanfu army enters the capital, all these efforts will be meaningless.

"It's not that simple. I feel that the imperial court must be prepared, but they have hidden it from us. As long as we unite and go to see Fang Congzhe, we will know. Whether it is the superintendent of the country or the prince, we can only It is born among us brothers, and we must not let the uncle's lineage get involved." Zhang Chi seemed particularly sober at this time, "First of all, we should unite to the outside world and solve the threat of the uncle, and then we will talk about other things. I believe that as long as my son is among the public, If you perform well in front of you, maybe this is still an opportunity.”
