Chapter 106 Seizing Military Power

Chapter 114
Of course, Zhang Xuan's consideration is also a little selfish.

Cui Ying, Yang Yuhuan, Xiao Shisanlang's wife Li Susu and his sister Li Xiuxiu, including his mother Liu Shi, Zhang Xuan tried his best to protect the people in Yuzhen Temple. Zhang Xuan was a little worried that Guan's soldiers and horses were not in his own hands.

It is better to ask for yourself than for others.

But Zhang Xuan knew in his heart that it was not so easy to obtain military power from Jia Yong. Even if he had the emperor's secret decree, a gold medal, and summoned the eunuch Li Jingzhong and the 100 palace guards to accompany him, Jia Yong would not Hand over the military power token easily.

Looking at Jia Yong, Zhang Xuan cupped his hands again and said, "General Jia Lang, following His Majesty's orders, I want to take over the 500 forest guards you bid for."

As soon as Zhang Xuan said this, Jia Yong's face suddenly changed, he stood up and said coldly, "Take over the general's army?"

"Master Zhang, please show His Majesty's imperial edict, the transfer order of General Habayashi Wei's Mansion, and the official document of the Ministry of War. As long as the formalities are complete, I will follow His Majesty's arrangement." Jia Yong said with a sneer, "If not, please forgive me. will not be able to obey."

Princess Yuzhen frowned.

She was slightly aware of Li Wan's movements, but she didn't pay much attention to them; she was even more unaware of the emperor's arrangements.

Seeing Zhang Xuan suddenly running to her and seizing Jia Yong's military power, she was a little unhappy, but she glanced at Yang Yuhuan, and seeing that Yang Yuhuan looked calm, she shut her mouth and watched quietly.

"I don't have what General Jia Lang said. I was ordered in a crisis and came in a hurry. His Majesty didn't issue an edict, nor did he pass it through the General Habayashiwei's mansion and the Ministry of War. But the matter is urgent, and everything is under the authority."

Zhang Xuan suddenly clapped his hands vigorously.

In an instant, more than a dozen soldiers dressed in the uniforms of the palace guards poured in from outside the hall, and the eunuch Li Jingzhong was summoned from the palace to hold a tray, on which were placed the emperor's secret decree and the imperial gold medal.

Li Jingzhong cleared his throat and said in a sharp voice, "Your Majesty's secret decree: Zhang Xuan will act for me, and all the soldiers and horses and government offices involved in the Tang Dynasty will be handled by Zhang Xuan through power and cheap treatment. Zhang Xuan will be given to patrol hunting on my behalf, beheading first and then playing the game Quan. When you see my secret decree and gold medal, you and I will meet face to face. I respect you."

Ordinarily, with the emperor's secret decree and gold medal, and the palace guards accompanying him, this matter must not have been a fraud by Zhang Xuan. As far as Jia Yong is concerned, he just surrendered his military power as ordered.

But Jia Yong felt that this matter was a bit strange. If the emperor wanted to transfer troops, he would definitely issue an edict to transfer troops and pass it on to him in advance. The army is in charge of guarding the Yuzhen Temple, and the imperial court hardly makes arrangements for it. How can the emperor send someone to take over it so well?
The more Jia Yong thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind: Recently, Donggong and Rong Wang have been fighting fiercely for the position of crown prince. Could it be that this Donggong Li Heng wanted to plot rebellion and raise troops, so he asked Zhang Xuan to come here with a false imperial edict to swindle the military power? ...

When Jia Yong thought of this, he smiled calmly, "This army is not under the jurisdiction of General Habayashi Wei, and is solely responsible for the defense of Yuzhen Temple and the protection of His Royal Highness Yuzhen. This general has been in command for more than ten years. Your Majesty has never issued a transfer order. Mr. Zhang came here suddenly and wanted to seize military power, it would be difficult for him to follow orders."

"General Jia Lang, your majesty's secret decree and the gold medal are here, what else can I say?" Zhang Xuan glanced at Li Jingzhong, "Eunuch Li, please submit your majesty's secret decree and the gold medal to General Jia Lang for examination."

Jia Yong shook his head, "No need, Your Majesty's secret decree is for this, and I dare not doubt it. It's just that His Majesty's secret decree ordered Mr. Zhang to do something, which is not the same as mobilizing my general's horses."

"His Royal Highness Yuzhen, the young general has led the troops to guard Yuzhen Temple for more than ten years, and he is loyal... I have not seen your majesty's edict to deploy troops, please forgive me for not following."

Princess Yuzhen frowned and said, "Zizhan, you are following the imperial brother's secret decree, and the matter is a secret, so I don't care about it. But the 500 people under Jia Yong's bid have always guarded the Yuzhen Temple, and there has never been any talk of mobilization. Fan..."

Yang Yuhuan smiled, and interjected, "Sister Yuzhen, General Jia Lang, Your Majesty issued an order last night, and this Palace was also present. Your Majesty granted the opportunity to order Zhang Xuan to go through the Quan Da Bian process——From my Palace's point of view, General Jia Lang Why don't you hand over the military power for now... I think that once Zhang Xuan's affairs are over, he will definitely hand over the military power to the general."

"Young Majesty, Your Majesty once had strict orders for the young general... The young general belongs to him, and his responsibilities lie, and he will not be transferred without an order. Please forgive me." Jia Yong bowed and bowed.

Seeing that Jia Yong is so soft and hard, and his bones are extremely hard, Zhang Xuan is unwilling to continue arguing with him to waste time, so he cups his hands to Yuzhen, "Your Highness, Zhang Xuan is doing things according to the order, and there is a reason for the matter. I will report to you in the future." Your Highness explained and apologized."

"Come on, Jia Yong disobeyed the imperial edict and disrespected His Majesty's secret decree, take him down!" Zhang Xuan resolutely shouted.

More than ten guards from the Forbidden Palace rushed forward and surrounded Jia Yong.

Today Jia Yong came to Yuzhenguan for a banquet. Although he was wearing casual clothes and did not bring a weapon, he was a general after all. His body was extremely flexible. Intent to seize military power, do you have to rebel?"

Zhang Xuan smiled lightly, "General Jia Lang, since you don't respect His Majesty's secret order, don't blame me for being rude."

Zhang Xuan waved his hand, just as the palace guards were about to make a move, they saw a flash of a figure behind Zhang Xuan, a young man dressed as a guard flew over with a sword, and with a flash of sword light, a radiant sword lay across Jia Yong. of the neck.

Xiao Shisanlang said in a low voice, "If you dare to act rashly, be careful of your leader!"
Zhang Xuan took a step forward with his hands behind his back, and said coldly, "Jia Yong, follow His Majesty's secret decree and hand over the military power; otherwise, he will be killed without pardon!"

"Kill Unforgiven!" The guards of the Ten Palaces Forbidden House shouted loudly.

Things have come to this point, and Princess Yuzhen has also seen some clues.Without the emperor's order, Zhang Xuan would not have dared to do so.The emperor made Zhang Xuan like this... Could it be that Li Wan wants to force the palace?

Thinking of this, Princess Yuzhen's face suddenly changed, she sat there and softly said, "Okay, don't make trouble here in this Palace, what's the point?"

"It's an urgent matter, Jia Yong, you should hand over your military power first, and rest here for a few days in this palace—everything, I have this palace to decide for you. If Zhang Xuan does not return the military power in the future, I will only ask him!"

……

……

Princess Yuzhen was quite generous to the Habayashi guards stationed outside Yuzhen Temple, and often gave them wine and banquets.

Today, Jia Yong was having a banquet in Yuzhen Temple, and the guards of the military camp were also drinking and having fun.

Three army leaders, one school lieutenant, and two soldiers also gathered in the tent to drink together.

Suddenly, the curtain door of the tent was lifted, and Zhang Xuan rushed in with the eunuch Li Jingzhong and several palace guards, and Jia Yong followed with a gloomy expression.

"Your Majesty has a decree to order Mr. Zhang Xuan to take over the position of General of the Army temporarily, and all the guards under his command are subject to Mr. Zhang." Jia Yong waved his hand feebly, "I will pay my respects to Mr. Zhang immediately!"

Captain Zhang Shengkuan glanced at Zhang Xuan suspiciously. Of course Zhang Xuan's name was well-known, but Zhang Xuan, the head of the Eastern Palace's auxiliary ministers, suddenly came here to take over the military power, wouldn't it be strange?

Bing Cao Linan and Zhou Xuchu also looked at each other and stayed there for a while.

Zhang Xuan gave a dry cough, and Li Jingzhong called out sharply, "Why don't you meet Mr. Zhang?"

Zhang Shengkuan's heart trembled, and he cupped his hands and bowed down, "Lieutenant Zhang Shengkuan, meet Mr. Zhang!"

"Soldier Cao Linan (Zhou Xuchu) pays his respects to Mr. Zhang!"

After the three saluted, they looked suspiciously at Jia Yong who was standing to the side.

Zhang Xuan waved his hand casually, "General Jia Lang, I will use my military power for the time being. Let's go back to the mansion to wait for your post and wait for His Majesty's order."

Jia Yong stomped his feet resentfully, without another word, with a sullen face, he turned around and strode away.

Zhang Xuan winked at Shisanlang Xiao.

Xiao Shisanlang went away knowingly, and after a short while, Jia Yong's angry reprimand was faintly heard.The three of Zhang Shengkuan's hearts skipped a beat, and Xin Daolang was exonerated as soon as he said what the Lord said. Could it be that he violated some king's law?Otherwise, not only was he dismissed from office but also arrested?
In fact, Zhang Xuan didn't really want to catch Jia Yong.He ordered a few guards to temporarily detain Jia Yong in a house outside Yuzhen Temple and supervise him day and night. It was a last resort to do so.

He was worried that Jia Yong had great influence in this army. If Jia Yong was not controlled, the so-called military power would be a lie after all, and would add many uncertain factors.

Zhang Xuan has always been cautious and considerate in doing things, even if it is only a chance, he will never take a risk.After all, what he is doing now is related to his wealth and life, and how dare he be careless about his future!

On the school field, 500 feather guards are ready to go.

"Lieutenant Zhang, Li Bingcao, Zhou Bingcao, I am ordered by His Majesty to temporarily take the post of general..." Zhang Xuan cast his cold eyes on the three low-level officers, and the three hurriedly bowed and shouted.

"I have a sacred order, so I can't delay it. Captain Zhang, you and Li Bingcao led 400 troops into Yuzhen Temple, waiting for the day, and the guards are strict. You must protect the imperial concubine and her highness Yuzhen comprehensively—if the imperial concubine and Yuzhen If His Highness makes any mistake, not only will your head be lost, but the whole family will also be implicated."

"The last general obeys orders." Zhang Shengkuan didn't dare to neglect, and quickly accepted orders.

"Zhou Bingcao, you lead 100 forest guards to act together with this officer. Well, without further ado, call the whole army immediately and go to your own actions."

******************************************
"This king and all of you are working together. After the future is done, you will all be my king's humerus ministers. This king swears today that as long as you live up to this king, this king will definitely live up to you!" Li Wan shouted loudly.

Everyone in the hall was pale and silent.

Doctor Yu Shi was kissed with a severed head when he made a mistake, and the bloody scene was still under his feet. Who would dare to stand up and oppose it?Since Li Wan was executed even if the court ordered the officials to execute him, it can be seen that his determination to raise troops to force the palace has long been unshakable.

"Feng Tao is a role model for those who betray His Majesty!" General Huo Qing of the Habayashi Guard shouted fiercely, holding a sword in his hand.

At this time, a man in black rushed in, and whispered something in Li Wan's ear.

Li Wan's expression changed when he heard the words, and his face immediately became extremely hideous and terrifying.
