This warrior is so fierce

Chapter 390 The Imperial Palace
Night, the city of God.

The exhibition halls and inns on both sides of the river are covered with rows of white lanterns

Lights and moonlight intertwined, adding bleakness and solemnity.

The emperor passed away, and the entire Qianyuan Dynasty was in mourning for the emperor.

This is a "national mourning" and is an orthodox process.

The emperor has not yet been buried, but in the city of God, there are already storms and disputes.

As night fell, there was a curfew in God's capital, and all entertainment venues were closed.

The people all stayed at home and were not allowed to come and go at will.

Shendu City, the General's Mansion.

General Yang Ming came back from the palace in mourning clothes.

The servants in the mansion immediately stepped forward to lead the horse to welcome the master.

"Are they all here?"

Yang Ming was wearing a thick cloak.

Winter is still here, and the temperature in Shendu City is not high, and it has snowed a few days ago.

The snow had just melted and the ground was a little wet.

He walked quickly through the pavilions.

Among the snowy trees, gray and white buildings stood silently.

Gray walls, red tiles, dovetail ridges, bluestone pavement, and deep winding paths.

"Squeak-"

He pushed open a courtyard door. In the courtyard house, several people were sitting around the brazier making wine. When they saw Yang Ming coming, they stood up to greet him.

"General!"

"General"

Several people all have the air of being in a high position.

Yang Ming stretched out his hand and signaled everyone to sit down.

Immediately, someone brought a chair, and he took off the black plush cloak covering the outer cover. After the waiter hung up the cloak, he exited the room and closed the door.

The master is about to start talking about things, and the most disliked servants are listening. They still have this insight.

As the servant exited the door, the whole house was quiet inside and out.

Only the fire in the brazier was left, making some "crackling" sounds from time to time.

"In three days, it will be the funeral."

In Yang Ming's room, apart from him, there were six other people, all important officials of the court, who walked very close to Yang Ming.

Some of them were wearing a pair of trousers, while others had recently rejoined Yang Ming's camp.

In today's imperial court, the camp of hundreds of officials headed by the general Yang Ming and the internal servant group headed by the eunuch Wang Xian formed a confrontational situation.

"These gangsters are really hateful. Before the burial, there must be some sacrificial ceremony."

"Now that the emperor has died, the eunuchs actually want to get their hands on the golden staff. It's really chilling."

At the time of the funeral, officials of the ninth rank and above, princes and below, princes, concubines, princesses, and people from all government departments and departments of the court need to go to the main hall to pay their respects to the late emperor's appearance and perform the ceremony of entering the coffin.

After the burial ceremony, the first emperor's catalpa coffin needs to be parked for a period of time.

Next to Yang Ming, Guo Shengxiong, Minister of the Ministry of War, was the number two figure in the group.

He shook his head and sighed: "Since ancient times, the elders have been established but not the young. Today, the eunuchs are arrogant and insist on acting against the law. This is called disobeying common sense and disregarding the laws of the country."

"The eunuchs try to control the throne in vain, and everyone in the world despises them. We must not just sit back and watch the eunuchs abandon the elders and make the younger ones!"

All the important officials below were very indignant.

In the eyes of everyone, eunuchs are nothing, they were just dogs around the emperor before.

Relying on the favor of the emperor, he became arrogant, committed crimes, and dominated the city of God.

Now that the emperor is gone, the eunuchs still want to maintain their favored status, and began to compete with ministers for power and profit.

Deep in the hearts of many ministers, they still despise the eunuchs.

There is a sense of superiority.

Damn, you don't even have any chickens, so you dare to challenge them?
It is similar to this mentality.

Yang Ming shook his head and sighed slightly, and put his hands on the edge of the brazier to keep warm.

"You guys, take it easy."

"Everyone inside and outside the court is watching the matter of the eunuch party. Smart people know how to stand in line."

"It's not up to these eunuchs to decide whether to be the elder or the youngest."

"Even if there is part of the military power of the Forbidden Army and the Third Division? How many people in this army are facing the eunuchs?"

Yang Ming first reassured the people below.

The struggle has not yet fully unfolded, but when the storm is about to come, it is the time when people's hearts are unstable.

As the leader of the group, Yang Ming's first priority is to stabilize people's hearts.

Guo Shengxiong laughed loudly and said: "The general is right, it is true."

"The eunuchs insist on doing the young thing. This is a dishonorable act. Among the ruling and opposition parties, there are only a handful of generals who are devoted to the eunuchs."

There are still some people who are closer to the eunuchs, but most people will not be close to the eunuchs.

In fact, Yang Ming's identity is not good, and he has a little light from his relatives.

But Yang Ming himself is a great general. He has been operating in this position for many years and has many disciples. Among the gods, the Yang family has completely become a famous family.

Comparing the two, Yang Ming's people are more righteous.

Yang Ming put his gaze on Qin Hu, and asked in a deep voice, "Ah Hu, have all the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army transferred from abroad been called back?"

The Imperial Army has a 30 army, and the Eighth Colonel is well-known outside the world. However, in the past few years, there have been many wars, and the army under the Eighth Colonel has mostly fought outside.

For example, Cao Su's Changshui Camp, where Cao Su was located, was divided into several parts because of the Xizhou Rebellion.

The fact that Cao Su replaced Feng Yuchan and became the leader of the forbidden army in the actual sense of Xizhou has already attracted the attention of several central ministers.

"The generals have been notified to return to the capital of God."

"Pingxi General Cao Su has returned with his troops, but he is too far away. Although he has elite cavalry under his command, it will take at least February to reach the capital."

The name of Cao Su is well known to everyone.

In addition to Cao Su's outstanding activity on the Xizhou battlefield, the poem of the first emperor is also impressive.

Everyone raised their heads unconsciously.

On the wall of the meeting hall, there is just a pair of words hanging.

It was written by the first emperor to everyone, and it was framed by Yang Ming and placed here.

"The bowed back is bright and the sword shines on the frost, and the autumn wind gallops out of Huaiyang."

"I haven't received the land of Hehuang, the son of heaven, and I don't plan to look back at my hometown."

Loyal minister!
Everyone admired slightly, but they didn't know who was the loyal minister.

"The elite under Cao Su's command counts one as ten. The more than [-] cavalry are not comparable to the ordinary forbidden army. Among the forbidden army, they are also elite."

Qin Hu gave a brief introduction, although Cao Su is not under his management now.

But Cao Su has a close relationship with him, and Qin Hu spent a lot of effort to recruit Cao Su into the capital of God.

"Cao Su's army is not in a hurry. When his [-] cavalry arrive in the capital, they can only slightly change the situation, and it won't do much."

"Our main focus is still on the current Imperial Army and Habayashi Army."

"The Forbidden Army is better, at least half of the captains can be won, but the Habayashi Army."

Everyone is talking, and it feels more tricky.

The attitude of the Habayashi Army guarding the palace is unclear, and it seems that they are more inclined to the eunuchs.

"Also, Yuan Zong's side is hard to say now."

When Qin Hu talked about Yuanzong, his face became a little stiff.

Before Yuanzong, it was very strange that there was only a little remnant of the Wanping Army left, and it was impossible to wipe it out.

It's all right now, the emperor passed away, and Yuanzong happened to hold a hundred thousand elite iron army, becoming the most powerful person in this troubled world, and becoming the object of everyone's attention and struggle.

The city of God, the imperial palace.

In a side hall, Wang Xian, the eunuch in charge of rites, convened many internal servants to discuss matters.

Now in the entire palace, the servants obey Wang Xian's orders.

Some of the Habayashi Army were also completely controlled by Wang Xian.

Wang Xian took control of the imperial palace, and many concubines, princes and daughters of the late emperor became Wang Xian's possessions.

The so-called coercion of the emperor to order the princes, the death of the first emperor, and the same is true for the family of the first emperor.

In the eyes of everyone, now that the late emperor has passed away, the first thing to hear is the many concubines.

Among these concubines, one of them is called "Concubine Yu".

Concubine Yu is the most favored concubine after Empress Yang. Although she has never given birth to a dragon child, she has a noble status and considers herself a queen, and she has the support of many eunuchs.

The eunuchs deliberately respected Concubine Yu as the queen mother first, so that they could better grasp the name and issue orders.

Wang Xian is in his 50s this year, with a pale, beardless face and a gloomy appearance.

He sat at the head of the side hall, and asked in a deep voice: "How is the matter of the foreign general's contact going?"

Contacting foreign generals is one of the things Wang Xian cares most about.

Wang Xian is also smart, knowing that after the death of the late emperor, it is useless to grasp the "righteousness", and must have enough military power to guard, so the eighth school lieutenant and the Habayashi army are also the targets of Wang Xian's struggle.

However, as Yang Ming said, the progress was not smooth.

All the eunuchs were trembling, but no one answered.

Wang Xian frowned and said, "What? In an empire as big as Qianyuan, we can't even find a few truly loyal ministers?"

Wang Xian was a little dissatisfied. He had gradually gained power in the palace, and the Habayashi Army had won a small part of it.

The Habayashi Army is equivalent to the emperor's personal soldiers, and it is the wealth directly left to concubines, princes and daughters.

These soldiers were loyal to the emperor to the death, and some even chose to be buried after the emperor died.

To win over half of them, Wang Xian had already paid a huge price.

Only the Yulin Army can only control the palace. If the Imperial Army can't win, it will depend on Yang Ming in the future.

Now that Wang Xian's ambitions are growing, he doesn't want to let Yang Ming control the situation at all, so he dispatched many internal servants to contact foreign generals, win over those who are willing to surrender, lure them with fame and fortune, and gain more military power in turn.

A eunuch suddenly spoke.

This is the servant of the Huangmen in front of the hall, and his position is not low.

Xiao Huangmen opened his mouth and said hesitantly: "Father, I know a general of the imperial army. He is young, loyal to the late emperor, brave in battle, and has many elites under his command. It seems that he can win him over."
