    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 536

    It was dawn, and the royal capital, which had been fighting and fighting all night, gradually quieted down. The city was ruined, and there were many casualties.

    Amidst the sound of clangs and collisions, groups of Imperial Guard soldiers with a murderous aura were mobilized in the city.

    The residents of the royal capital looked outside through cracks in the doors or windows, and saw corpses swollen by the rain all over the streets.

    The Imperial Guards have imposed martial law in the capital city, and there are guard soldiers like wolves and tigers everywhere.

    Although the fourth prince's attempt to seize power failed, the serious consequences are gradually fermenting.

    "The fourth prince, the eighth prince, and the eleventh prince conspired to rebel and murdered His Majesty. His Royal Highness ordered to hunt down the rebel and his henchmen"

    A fast horse rushed out of the imperial city with the order to sweep away the rebellion, and ran towards the four directions, and a storm began to sweep through the Far Eastern Dynasty.

    The prince also took the opportunity to order someone to secretly kill the old emperor who was already terminally ill, and framed him to the fourth prince and others.

    Under the suggestion of Yan Jing, a newly-rising power minister, the prince decided to eradicate all threats together.

    Yan Jing's investigation department was defeated at night and suffered heavy losses. Now he hastily dispatched troops from various investigation departments to gather in the capital to launch a purge operation.

    Now that General Hu Ziyang of the Imperial Guard has not rushed back to the capital, the head of the First Corps, Huya General Liang Bin has become the main executor of the sweeping and arresting operation.

    Yan Jing made a long list of rebels in a short period of time, and the Imperial Guards only need to arrest people based on this list.

    The ferocious soldiers of the Imperial Guard surrounded the mansions one after another, and then brute force broke into these mansions.

    "You colluded in rebellion and rebellion, the crown prince ordered, shoot to kill!"

    Facing the sudden intrusion of the imperial guards, many wealthy families didn't even react, and the imperial guards started killing them.

    Facing these Imperial Guard soldiers with dangling swords in their hands, the wealthy and powerful families who were once aloof became lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and fell in a pool of blood one by one amidst the screams.

    Many officials at all levels who were bossing around in the court yesterday were also pulled out of their homes by the imperial guards one after another, and thrown into prisons without dignity.

    The prince wanted to take the opportunity to eradicate all his opponents, but Yan Jing took his private goods and added some of his enemies to the list.

    General Liang Bin, the Huya General of the Imperial Guard who was in charge of carrying out the task of searching for and arresting the rebels, was not a good person either.

    When he was ordered to carry out the arrest mission, besides the people on the list, he also took the opportunity to cleanse the imperial guards.

    Except for him, the four commanders of the imperial guards stationed in the capital were all arrested and beheaded on charges of treason.

    During this catastrophe, the General's Mansion, which was in charge of the deployment of troops across the country in the Far East Dynasty, also suffered a serious blow.

    Liang Bin, an ambitious new general, has long been displeased with those old guys who eat vegetarian meals in corpses.

    The generals of the General's Mansion are in charge of the military affairs of the country. Although they do not directly mobilize the troops, they have great influence on the troops.

    However, on the night when the fourth prince rebelled, most of the veteran generals in the general's mansion who held real power were either killed by rebel attacks or assassinated by unknown men in black.

    When the imperial guards arrived, the generals who held the real power in the general's mansion were almost wiped out, and there were almost no casualties.

    ?The so-called fire at the city gate affected the fish in the pond, and many aristocratic families who wanted to be outsiders did not escape the catastrophe.

    They originally wanted to wait for the battle between the fourth prince and the prince to become clear before choosing to stand in line.

    However, the situation at night was too chaotic. When they knew that the fourth prince was defeated and were about to express their loyalty to the prince, catastrophe also fell on them.

    Many generals of the Imperial Guard coveted the wealth of these rich and powerful families, so they were directly charged with treason, and directly started ransacking and looting.

    Facing these rude soldiers, the powerful figures of the aristocratic and powerful families who used to have great reputation were spattered with blood three feet.

    "His Royal Highness, the Imperial Guard's military discipline is lax. Taking advantage of the search for rebels, wantonly looting, the city is in chaos, please stop them in time."

    Yan Jing has already gathered his remaining strength, and then dispatched it to seize power.

    There were also some minor frictions between the Investigation Department and the Imperial Guards, so Yan Jing had to sue the Imperial Guards in front of the prince.

    In addition to Yan Jing's complaint against the imperial guards, many people from the royal family and big families also went to the imperial city to file complaints.

      The crown prince had no choice but to appease them, expressing that he would severely punish some guard soldiers who took advantage of the fire to loot.

    However, the prince now knows in his heart that the only thing he can rely on now is the imperial guards.

    Now the capital is under the control of the Imperial Guards. If he punishes the Imperial Guards now, once they are dissatisfied, the consequences will be serious.

    If the imperial guards turned against him now, his prince's life would be in jeopardy.

    "Promote Liang Bin, the head of the First Corps of the Imperial Guard, to be promoted to the general of Zhenguo, and control the Royal Capital Imperial Guard troops."

    In order to appease the imperial guards, instead of punishing the imperial guards, the prince had to promote Liang Bin.

    Liang Bin was originally just a general Huya, a general of the third rank.

    But now he is directly promoted to the rank of Yipin Zhenguo General, which can be regarded as a compliment from the crown prince.

    "Send a word, ask Liang Aiqing to restrain the soldiers more and cherish the common people."

    Facing the problem of the imperial guards disturbing the people and looting, the prince did not dare to reprimand fiercely, so he could only send someone to send a message to Liang Bin in private, asking him to restrain him more.

    The turmoil in the royal capital not only changed the structure of the imperial court, but also changed the balance of power between the civil official group and the military and military families in the past.

    In the past, the imperial guards and other troops had children from military and military families occupy important positions at all levels, and the civilian group suppressed the development of the army.

    Now overnight, more than 100 senior officials of the Civil Service Group were killed or injured in the incident, especially the death of Prime Minister Zuo Wang Huchen, which made the prince very sad.

    After all, Prime Minister Zuo is the prince's confidant, and giving him advice and advice will play a major role in stabilizing the court.

    Now Prime Minister Zuo Wang Huchen died, more than a hundred important officials were killed or injured, and the civil official group suffered a heavy blow.

    The military family has been purged once by Wang Huchen and other civil official groups, and now the only remaining military family has rebelled with the fourth prince, and the military family has also lost control of the army.

    At the beginning, in order to suppress the military family, the prince vigorously promoted trusted generals to serve as important positions in the imperial guards.

    But now after such a commotion, the imperial guards have lost the suppression of the civil servant group and the military family, and there are faint signs of losing control.

    Some of the original order of the Far Eastern Dynasty is collapsing. In the collision of swords and blood, military generals who have been suppressed in the past began to gradually step onto the stage of history.

    The fourth prince has now escaped from the capital, and the prince is busy sweeping away the rebellion and consolidating his position of power. He urgently needs the support of the imperial guards.

    Although the prince felt that some of the actions of the imperial guards were too much, he had to make some compromises in order to win their support.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
