    Of course, to launch a military coup, it is absolutely impossible to rely solely on the prince, the guards, and the hundreds of troops.  In fact, at this time, the core strength of the entire East Palace was the only remaining powerful prince among the ten princes.

    The prince's left and right command houses each have more than 2,000 troops. Together, the two units account for nearly one-third of the prince's tenth command, and both units are set up according to the formation of combat troops, including cavalry, infantry, archers, and scouts.  Wait for all arms to be fully organized.  Both groups are composed of noble sons and good family members from Guanzhong, with good combat power and well-equipped equipment.

    The commanders of these two units are mostly composed of backbone forces who have been on the battlefield, and redundant generals have the lowest rate among the ten in the East Palace.  The emperor's original intention to form these two armies was to train the prince's ability to control the army. The two armies can be regarded as the core troops of the East Palace.

    Prince Zuowei led Yuan Ying, the grandson of Gaoding of Changhu County, a famous general in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the son of Yuan Le.  In the second year of Tianhe (567) of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, his eldest father Yuan Ding led troops to meet Chen Guo's rebellious general Hua Jiao. He was defeated alone and died in depression. After that, the family declined.

    Yuan Ying was a man of few words, but he was determined and determined.  When he was more than 20 years old, he followed Yang Jun to attack Chen and was the vanguard in all battles.  When it comes to the former, they are invincible.  In the battle of Xiakou, the enemy was blocked.  Yuan Ying rushed forward, killing and wounding many people, but no one dared to take the lead.  King Yang Jun of Qin personally observed it and commented on his merits the most. He said that he had "the style of his ancestors" and rewarded him generously.

    After that, Yuan Ying became a general in Hexi and resisted the barbarians, fighting dozens of large and small battles.  Yuan Ying had a brave strategy and always fell into battle in every battle. However, he never claimed his merits and was praised as a virtuous person in the army.

    Later, Yuan Ying was framed and ostracized in Hexi. Fortunately, Prince Yang Yong spoke for Yuan Ying and saved Yuan Ying from disaster.  When Yang Jian was selecting talents to assist the prince Yang Yong, Yang Yong recommended Yuan Ying to Yang Jian who was good at conquering and fighting.  Yuan Ying was first transferred to the deputy commander of the Prince Youqingdao, and later moved to the deputy commander of the Prince Zuo Nei and the commander of the Prince Zuo Qingdao.  After Su Xiaoci was transferred to the governor of Xizhou (north of Xixia County, Henan), Yuan Ying was promoted to the prince's left guard and became the mainstay of the prince's army in the East Palace.

    Yuan Ying was rigorous in running the army and could share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, so he won the military's morale.  And because of Yang Yong's rescue and kindness, Yuan Ying was very loyal to Yang Yong, and Yang Jian and others did not have many useful nails in his army.  Relying on the escort of Yuan Ying's army, Yang Yong could barely feel at ease.

    Yang Guang had thought before that if Yang Yong wanted to stage a coup, he must not bypass Yuan Ying.

    At this time, although Yang Yong was panicked and knocked unconscious by a combination of punches from Xiao Zibao, Zong Sheng and others, he didn't know what to do for a while, but as long as Yang Yong wakes up, he will definitely recruit Yuan Ying to help him.

    Pei Ju and others had previously considered Yuan Ying's threat. If Yuan Ying was given full control of the prince's army, with Yuan Ying's ability and the strength of these thousands of people, and there was only a wall between the two palaces, this military coup might really succeed.  .

    Yang Guang can¡¯t plan so hard that in the end the outcome will be at Yang Yong¡¯s advantage.

    Therefore, Pei Ju and others decided to move Yuan Ying away, at least not to allow him to appear next to Prince Yang Yong to make decisions.

    To prevent Yuan Ying from seeing Yang Yong, but to allow Yuan Ying to take the initiative to raise troops, this requires someone whom Yuan Ying has great trust.  Originally, Zong Sheng could do it, but Yang Yong needed Zong Sheng's military coercion, and he couldn't do both.

    Yuan Ying is not an ordinary person. His courage, wisdom, and judgment are all tempered through countless battles on the battlefield.  Therefore, if you choose an ordinary person, it is absolutely impossible to deceive him.

    But Pei Ju chose Tang Lingze, because in his opinion, this Tang Lingze was not an ordinary person. This sycophant was one of the people Yang Yong trusted most, and he was also the most likely to persuade Yuan Ying.

    Yuan Ying is not a person who likes luxury, so he is very dissatisfied with the behavior of the prince's concubine Tang Lingze and the prince's family commander Zou Wenteng. He thinks that these two people only know how to entertain the prince with their sensuality, dogs and horses, which led to the prince's embarrassing situation today.

    If given the opportunity, Yuan Ying would never let go of the opportunity to get rid of the two of them.

    This day, Yuan Ying didn¡¯t sleep until the third watch. The reason was Huang Mingyuan¡¯s fuqi.

    In fact, the prince's left and right guards are not stationed in the East Palace on a daily basis, but like the other six guards, they are outside the Xuande Gate in the north of the East Palace.  When Du Liu entered Guanzhong, Yang Yong took the opportunity to propose to transfer the crown prince Zuo Wei to the East Palace for his own safety.  Yang Jian was afraid of overstimulating Yang Yong, so he agreed to this request.

    So these two thousand people are a big variable.

    Yuan Ying sent Prince Zuo Nei to a position close to the walls of Daxing Palace and the East Palace, not only to monitor Daxing Palace, but also to guard against any unrest in Daxing Palace, so he heard Huang Mingyuan's shouting.

    Although he could hear it vaguely and unclearly, Yuan Ying's heart tightened.  He knew that the prince was having a hard time these days and had been very cautious. This voice immediately reminded him of the prince.  Can be in bigThere is such a commotion in Xing Palace, it must be something special, let alone some conspiracy against the prince.

    Therefore, Yuan Ying arranged for his soldiers to secretly monitor the movements of the city wall, and sent people to secretly inquire about the situation in Daxing Palace. At the same time, he sent people to report secretly to the main hall of the East Palace.

    But Yuan Ying himself was also under Yang Guang's close surveillance. Yang Guang's intelligence personnel had already ambushed near Yuan Ying's headquarters through Zong Sheng, so the messenger disappeared without a trace as soon as he left the camp.  Only Yuan Ying was left waiting anxiously.

    Yuan Ying sat in the meeting hall with his eyes closed, holding back the noise and constantly thinking about what should be done in various situations.  But instead of receiving a letter from the prince, a person came who he didn't want to see.

    The person who came was none other than Tang Lingze, the sycophant.

    At the beginning, the concubine Pei Zheng on the left and Liu Xing, the concubine on the right, were both rare gentlemen and ministers. However, they were alienated by the prince because of the slander of the traitor. The concubine Pei Zheng on the left was even transferred to the general manager of Xiangzhou.  Tang Ling, on the other hand, succeeded in teaching the palace servants in the East Palace how to sing and dance, and was favored by the prince, and finally became Zuo Shuzi.  If the two old gentlemen Pei Zheng and Liu Xingben were still there, the prince would not have reached this point.

    Tang Lingze¡¯s appearance surprised Yuan Ying. The palace gate had already been closed at this time, and Tang Lingze shouldn¡¯t have appeared here.

    However, Yuan Ying had always disliked Tang Lingze extremely, so he did not want to talk to Tang Lingze and turned his head to the side.  Yuan Ying was quite dissatisfied at this time. At this critical moment, the prince would take the risk of recruiting Tang Lingze into the palace. It was really unreasonable.

    Tang Lingze saw that Yuan Ying ignored him and was embarrassed, but he didn't take it seriously.  He knew very well why Yuan Ying treated him like this, so he didn't really hate Yuan Ying.

    Tang Lingze is actually a very contradictory person, at least he is not a villain without conscience.  At first, Liu Xingben, the right concubine, reproached Tang Lingze and said, "The concubine should help the prince to follow the right path. Why do he use his voice, color, singing and dancing to please the prince?" Tang Lingze felt very ashamed but could not change it.

    So for these upright ministers in the East Palace, Tang Lingze actually felt guilty.

    Seeing that Yuan Ying ignored him, Tang Ling stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said first: "General Yuan is here well, and Ling is following the order of His Highness the Crown Prince to discuss important matters with the general." (Remember this website address: www.  .hlnovel.com
