Chapter 1065 Heaven and Human Induction
It is just in April, and it is supposed to be the most pleasant Mengchun season in Beijing. However, the past few days have been steaming and dusty, which makes people irritated and unbearable.In the evening, dark clouds finally came, covering the sky with darkness, but the air became more and more stuffy, and the sky and the earth seemed to be stagnant, as if the first rainstorm of summer was brewing...

At this time, the doors and windows of every household are open and it is still too hot.In King Zhao's mansion, the doors and windows of the small study room used to discuss secret matters were closed. In addition to King Zhao and Wei Wuque, seven or eight of King Zhao's confidantes were sitting inside.

The leader is Meng Xian, the commander of the guards in Changshan.Zhao Wang is the most beloved son of the emperor, so he naturally has three guards directly under him, namely the three guards in the middle, left and right of Changshan.Meng Xian is in his 40s, with a dignified appearance. He is Zhao Wang's wife-in-law.Although he is only the commander of the guards in Changshan in name, he is in charge of the three guards on the left, middle and right, and is the number one general under Zhao Wang.

Although Zhao Wang has been stranded in the capital and has not taken up the feudal domain for a long time, his three guards have been enfeoffing land in Changshan, and they were transferred to the capital by Zhao Wang in the name of training last month.These three guards and 5000 soldiers and horses are naturally the biggest capital for His Royal Highness Zhao's uprising.But no matter how unscrupulous King Zhao is, it is impossible to transfer more than [-] soldiers and horses to the capital. Only Meng Xian's central guard is now in the city, and the other two guards are stationed outside the city.

Therefore, for this uprising, Chang Shanwei cannot be relied on alone, soldiers and horses from Shangzhiwei must join in!
Under Meng Xian is Peng Xu, the commander of Yubayashi Qianwei, one of the twelve straight guards. He is a good friend of Zhao Wang for many years. It was Zhao Wang who deliberately pushed him to this key position.Peng Xu's army knew everything about the Forbidden Palace, and after opening the palace gate, they brought Chang Shanwei, who was not familiar with his place of life, into the palace.

In addition, there are Gao Zheng, the commander of the left guard in Yanshan, Ma Shu, the commander of the left guard in Changshan, Tian Zihe, the commander of the right guard in Changshan, Liu Qiang, the commander of the Houtun army in Xingzhou, and Chen Kai, the governor of the right guard in Tongzhou. It is all the power that King Zhao can trust.

As for the newly subdued Jinwu Left Guard Commander General Xiong and others, because the time is short, they dare not conspire with them rashly, but only hope that once it is launched, they will stay put and submit obediently afterwards, His Royal Highness Zhao is satisfied.

In addition to these military generals, there is also a civil official, Qian Yi, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials. He is Zhu Gaosui's literary courage and staunch supporter. He is also planned to help King Zhao control the government after the event is completed.Because the civil official groups generally have their heart for the prince, although they are forced by the current situation, they are succumbing to King Zhao, but how can King Zhao dare to trust them under the long-term habit?So right now, only Qian Yi, a civil servant, is supporting the situation.

Fortunately, right now it is treason, not seizing the heirloom, relying on the handle of a knife, not a pen...

In addition, there is another person who is out of place, and it is the king of Qin Tianjian, She Cheng.This Wang has no soldiers in his hands, and he is not considered a civil servant, but he is indispensable because he can explain the celestial phenomena and convey the "will of heaven".

Since ancient times, China has been emphasizing the "response between heaven and man", and believes that heaven will give enlightenment or warning to human affairs through the natural changes of heaven and earth.Therefore, the success or failure of everything will have subtle or obvious signs of the sky in advance.For example, if Ziwei Emperor's star is dim, it means that the imperial power is being challenged, and if Tanlang's star is bright, it means that war is about to start.The official person responsible for explaining the celestial phenomena is called Yin Yang Sheng in the local area, and the official in the imperial court is the official of Qin Tianjian.

People in this era firmly believe in this. From Zhu Yuanzhang to Zhu Di, they must watch the stars every time they face a major event.Especially before Zhu Di's death, if Yao Guangxiao and Jin Zhong hadn't repeatedly used various celestial phenomena to encourage him, it would be difficult to say whether he could have the courage to challenge Emperor Jianwen.

Zhao Wang witnessed the whole process of his father's success with his own eyes. When he decided to copy the battle of Jingnan, he naturally would not forget these Qin Tianjian officials who could greatly incite people's hearts.In fact, when King Zhao was hesitant at first, he asked Wang Shecheng to watch the sky at night to see what God had to say.

Wang Shecheng watched the stars in Qintian for one night, and reported to King Zhao the next day: "Looking at the sky, there will be a change of master soon." Only then did King Zhao make up his mind.

Zhao Wang called Wang Shecheng here again, just to let him repeat what he said before, to encourage the people below.It was only when Wang Shecheng arrived at King Zhao's mansion that he realized that King Zhao had decided to usurp the throne after hearing what he said, and he was so scared that he peed his pants.But Zhao Wang's knife was already on his neck, he didn't want to lose his head, he had to be obedient.

.

After everyone sat down in the study, they all looked at Wang Shecheng who suddenly appeared here, not knowing what the prince wanted to call this person.

Zhao Wang had already bathed, changed his clothes and shaved his face, and returned to his usual handsome and clean appearance. Although he was sitting in a stuffy room, he seemed to be in a cool place, with no trace of dryness between his brows.He looked at the crowd, and said slowly: "Yesterday, the Qin Tianjian Wang Jianzheng watched the stars at night and realized something. The lonely king invited him to come and talk to everyone." He glanced at Wang Shecheng and said: "Wang Jianzheng, Tell everyone what you have seen and the conclusions you have drawn, and don’t make half a lie.”

"Yes." Wang Jian was picking up the white handkerchief on the table to wipe his sweat, and then he said: "I watched the stars last night, and I saw that the Yinghuo star attacked the Ziwei star, and saw that the emperor star changed its position. This indicates that in the near future There is a change of imperial power, your majesty..." At this point, Wang Jian was fighting in two arms, sweating profusely, but under Zhao Wang's watchful eyes, he could only tremble and say: "The emperor has only been in the past few days. There is a new king on the throne..."

"Hiss..." Everyone present gasped, and they were really shocked by the news.

"Then..." King Zhao asked calmly, "Who should this omen belong to? The crown prince, or the grandson?"

"It's...not..." Wang Jianzheng was sweating profusely, stammering, "From the perspective of the sky, it should be on the prince." What he said before is still true, but from this sentence onwards, it's all true. King Zhao forced him to make it up.

"Ha!" Hearing this, Meng Xian and the others were overjoyed, slapped their thighs and became excited: "Sure enough! Our prince is the real dragon emperor!"

"Here, Wang Jianzheng, this king has no grievances or enmities with you," Zhao Wang pretended to say: "Why do you want to push this hard work on this king?"

"My lord, if you can't take it from God, you will be guilty of it." Wang Jianzheng felt sick in his heart, and tried to persuade him: "My lord, please don't shrink back for the common people's livelihood!"

"Hey, the words of the astrology are not accurate!" Zhao Wang waved his hand resolutely: "Sir, please step down first, and rest in this palace for a few days, don't spread such rumors everywhere."

"My lord, please think twice..." Wang Jianzheng was sitting on pins and needles early on, and he hurriedly retreated obediently upon hearing this.

As soon as Wang Jianzheng left, Meng Xian and others hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty! As he said, God will not take it, but you will be blamed instead! God made you emperor, if you push back three times, you will definitely regret it afterwards." and!"

"Hey!" Zhao Wang nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Of course I know that my eldest brother sees me as a thorn in my side. If I let him become emperor, I and everyone will inevitably follow in the footsteps of my second brother and others... ..." He said with a bitter face: "It's just that this kind of thing has to be broken, and if you have half-heartedness, it will definitely fail." As he said, he looked at the crowd and said: "Are you ready?"

"It's done! Don't worry, my lord!" Meng Xian and the others patted their chests and said excitedly: "A person will die for ten thousand years! We have been waiting for the lord to make up his mind!"

Qian Yi also brushed his beard and nodded: "Yes, my lord, now inside and outside the court, there are people who have their hearts on the lord, as the saying goes, what the lord wants to do at this time, will surely succeed!"

Zhao Wang pretended to be in thought, got up and took a few steps, Fang Zhong nodded and said: "Okay! I can't let you down!" After saying that, he looked at the people with happy faces and said: "After the matter is done, you will be my The king's heroic hero!"

"I'm willing to break my body and bones for the lord, and I'll do whatever I want!" Everyone's hearts were filled with enthusiasm, and they followed Zhao Wang, and the plan was nothing more than this!The nobles and nobles of the Ming Dynasty came from the founding of the country and Jingnan, and they were all officials who rebelled with the emperor!There is a car in the front and a track in the back. Those guys who didn't catch up with Jing Nan naturally thought about it and wanted to do it again!
After everyone calmed down their excitement, they discussed specific actions.In fact, King Zhao already had a well-thought-out idea of ​​what to do, and now he just wants to weigh his subordinates and see if they have the ability.

However, listening to their chatter and talking for a long time without saying anything, King Zhao couldn't help but secretly disappointed.Xin said that his accumulation is indeed too poor, and the talents around him are not comparable to the eldest brother, not even the second brother.If it weren't for the fact that the heaven and the earth are working together and the water will come naturally, I really wouldn't dare to act rashly.

Seeing that King Zhao was silent, everyone knew that the prince was not satisfied, so they gradually shut up, waiting for his opinion.

King Zhao can only rely on these materials at the moment, and he has to say with a pleasant face: "Everyone's words are good. This king has summed up your opinions and summed up a few, which can be regarded as our action strategy."

"My lord, please tell me!" Everyone was secretly proud, saying that it seems that the lord is still very satisfied with us.

"First of all, the whole city is currently under martial law, which is very convenient for us to do things, but it is still necessary to strengthen our guard, so as not to leak the news, or someone is unwilling to fail and make trouble." King Zhao said, looking at Gao Zheng and Ma Shu, and said in a deep voice: "The two generals are in charge of the inside and outside of the imperial city respectively. During the operation, no one is allowed to go out on the street. Anyone who trespasses will be killed!"

"Obey!" Gao Zheng and Ma Shu got up to accept the order, and the latter asked again: "My lord, when will our army enter Beijing?"

"Before the incident, I will open the city gate and let General Hetian's army enter the capital." Zhao Wang said lightly.

"Yes." Ma Shu nodded and stepped back with Gao Zheng.

"General Meng, General Peng," Zhao Wang looked at Meng Xian and Peng Xu again, and said in a deep voice: "When the palace gate is opened, the two of you will lead your troops into Xiyuan with this king, surround the sleeping hall, and don't allow anyone to approach! "

"Follow orders!" Meng Xian and Peng Xu clasped their fists to accept the orders.
