Chapter 705: Seizing Power and Counterattack III
There were not many people in the room, only seven people, four deputy commanders of the Inspection Institute, and Zhao Shaocheng, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. He also served as the commander of the Inspection Institute. However, Zhao Shaocheng did not see this military official position. On weekdays, except for personnel and mobilizing power, Zhao Shaocheng usually rarely cares about the affairs of the Inspection Institute. Today, a coup broke out suddenly. Zhao Shaocheng's mansion was very close to Jingzhao Prefecture. He was smart and immediately pulled the whole family to the Inspection Institute.
But then the Fifth Guard Deputy Commander conspired to seize power, and the entire inspector and the people present were almost done.
Therefore, in the room, the four generals were quarreling with each other, and they all had their own opinions and ideas, and refused to give in. Zhao Shaocheng sat quietly on them, looking at them coldly without saying a word. After experiencing the rebellion just now, Zhao Shaocheng no longer had any trust in these four generals, but was extremely suspicious. If possible, he now wanted to kill all of these four people, give up all the military power, and then stick to the inspection office. He did not want to participate in the coup tonight, but just wanted to save his life, because no matter Zhao Xun or Zhao Ke, who succeeded in taking office, would not do anything to him. Since that is the case, why take that risk?
In addition to them, there are Gu Benchao and Jingzhao Prefecture Young Men Lin Zhiquan.
Li Xun stood outside the door, listening to the quarrel between them, and soon heard the reason clearly.
After the rebellion of the deputy commander of the Fifth Guard, the two sides began to have differences and contradictions about the next step of their actions.
Wang Fan, deputy commander of the Third Guard and Liu Hu, deputy commander of the Fourth Guard, suggested that more than 600 soldiers who participated in the rebellion in the fifth Guard be executed, and then more than 4,000 soldiers from the inspection institute broke through and joined the imperial guards. No matter what actions they took later, they just need to follow them. The benefits of doing this, whether political or military, can be minimized, and are beneficial to everyone.
Liu Bihui and Zhu Zhengguo firmly opposed the suggestions of Wang Fan and Liu Hu. Their suggestions were very decisive. They immediately gathered all the soldiers of the inspection institute to go to the imperial city to protect the king and quell the coup, and what fled outside the city and what moved with the overall situation. Liu Bihui sternly scolded Wang Fan and Liu Hu for being disobedient, and they were treacherous villains.
It was for this matter that the two sides had a fierce quarrel. In the end, no one could convince anyone. When they became angry, Wang Fan even drew out his weapons, glared at Liu Bihui, and shouted: "You bastard, dare to scold me again, I will kill you now."
Liu Hu and Wang Fan were in the same mind and also drew out weapons.
Zhu Zhengguo and Liu Bihui were also unwilling to be outdone. They took two steps back, drew out their weapons, and glared at each other.
At this moment, Li Xun pushed open the door and strode in.
Everyone was slightly stunned when they saw Li Xun's sudden arrival. Zhao Shaocheng said in surprise: "Li Xun, why are you here?"
Zhao Shaocheng was indeed a little surprised. There was news that the imperial guards purposely killed the core figures and families of the prince's party in some places. As the prince's cousin, Li Xun must be the important target of the imperial guards' first eradication. The city was completely controlled by the imperial guards. Not only did Li Xun die, he actually fled to the inspection house. This has to be said to be a miracle and an accident.
Li Xun glanced at Zhao Shaocheng and said nothing.
When Zhu Zhengguo saw Li Xun and Yan Yi, he was overjoyed and came forward, pulled them and said excitedly: "I have always been worried about your safety. Now that I see that you are safe, I finally feel relieved."
Liu Bihui nodded to Li Xun and said, "It's quite thrilling to be able to come to the inspector's office in this way."
Li Xun said: "Of course. If Yan Yi had not brought the imperial guards in time, you and my brother would have never met again."
Zhao Shaocheng looked at Li Xun with a gloomy face. He asked himself, but Li Xun turned a blind eye to him. This was a great contempt for him.
Gu Benchao saw Zhao Shaocheng's face and thought that this was the inspection institute and his own territory. You, Li Xun, are you an outsider, dare to be so arrogant at this moment?
"Li Xun, what are you talking about? Why did you come here? It means your purpose. At a special moment, our inspection office will not accept outsiders' arrival."
Gu Benchao's tone was extremely rude.
When Zhu Zhengguo and Liu Bihui heard this, their faces were full of anger. Li Xun winked at them, then stepped forward and said in a deep voice to Zhao Shaocheng: "Mr. Zhao, I have followed the order of the prince to take over the inspection office, collect the soldiers, and go to the imperial city to rescue the riots."
Zhao Shaocheng and others did not expect that Li Xun would do such a thing as soon as he came up, and he was stunned immediately.
Li Xun said indifferently to the four deputy commanders: "Go and summon the troops of our headquarters and follow me to the imperial city to quell the rebellion."
Wang Fan and Liu Hu's eyes flashed, and they had no expression of Li Xun's words.
Zhu Zhengguo and Liu Bihui looked at each other and immediately bowed their orders: "We will accept the orders."
After saying that, the two of them were about to leave.
"Slow down."
Zhao Shaocheng stood up and stopped the two of them.
Zhao Shaocheng looked at Li Xun with a gloomy look and said coldly: "Li Xun, you said you have been ordered by the prince, what evidence is there?"
Li Xun took a blood-stained jade pendant from his waist, spread it in front of everyone, and said in a low voice: "This is the prince's object. Before the temporary period, the prince handed me this object to me, saying that using this object as evidence, you can mobilize the troops of the inspector's office and do your own thing."
Li Xun had not received any order from the prince to dispatch troops, but he had no way out at this time. If the prince was killed by Zhao Ke, no matter who inherited the throne, as long as he was not the prince, he would definitely suffer an extremely tragic ****. Now there is only one solution, that is, to lead the army into the imperial city immediately. If the prince is still alive, then it is natural that everything is easy to say. Even if he is killed, if he can quell the coup and have such great contributions, the emperor who will succeed to the throne in the future will still have some concerns.
But now, relying on Yan Yi and the more than 5,000 soldiers in his hands, if you want to fight against the opponent's 50,000 army, a ten-fold enemy is simply hitting stones with eggs and seeking death. Therefore, you must gather as much as possible to have a chance to have a try.
Liu Bihui looked at the jade pendant in Li Xun's hand, and nodded immediately and said, "This thing is indeed the prince's object. What Li Xun said must be true."
