Chapter 885: Don't enter the city
In the palace celebrant of the palace, Liu Jinzhong sat on a cushion woven by brocade, and on the table in front of him was waiting for the red ticket to be drafted and played.
Since yesterday, he has been the master of ceremonies and has begun to exercise the duties of the internal minister.
The taste of power is intoxicating, and just a red pen in his hand can decide the life and death of thousands of people.
Therefore, Liu Jinzhong can't put down the pen in his hand.
"Jianchuan Wuyang Mansion has suffered a flood, and I ask the imperial court to allocate 100,000 silver for disaster relief!"
After reading this recital, Liu Jinzhong aimed at the cabinet's handling opinions.
"Pull out 80,000 pieces of silver, and raise ...... for the remaining 20,000 places"
Seeing this, Liu Jinzhong picked up the red pen, wrote the word "Zhaozhuan" on the booklet, and then put it beside him.
Compared with the result of "according to the accuracy", Liu Jinzhong has more crosses, which makes him feel powerful.
At this moment, his loyal deputy Li Deyi walked in from outside, with a dignified look in his eyes.
Seeing Li Deyi come in, Liu Jinzhong waved away everyone in the room and asked them to close the door.
Seeing Li Deyi's solemn face, Liu Jinzhong knew that things were not going well, but he still asked, "Is the matter done?" ”
"Father-in-law, Chen Xiaoting was hit by an arrow...... But the slave couldn't be sure if he was dead! Li Deyi bowed and replied.
Liu Jinzhong put it on the pen and hurriedly asked, "Where was he hit by the arrow?" How many arrows have you hit? ”
"I was hit by two arrows, and both of them hit the chest!"
Hearing this, Liu Jinzhong was also very happy in his heart, even if Chen Xiaoting was lucky not to die, he would not be able to command Jinyiwei after being seriously injured.
Lu Yunsi was directly dismissed from his post by Chen Xiaoting, forcing Liu Jinzhong to invite Wang Ruolin out.
Yes, when Chen Xiaoting was calculating Lu Yunsi and others, Liu Jinzhong was also calculating him behind his back.
The power of Jinyiwei is in the hands of his enemies, and Liu Jinzhong is not at ease at all.
"Father-in-law, the slave and maid heard...... In the morning, His Royal Highness King Wu sent someone to the Chen Mansion to take it under his command, let's do this...... Isn't it too ......."
Before Li Deyi finished speaking, Liu Jinzhong glanced over directly, and glared at Li Deyi and quickly knelt down.
"The slave and maid lost their words, and the father-in-law forgives the sin!"
"Are you questioning our family?" Liu Jinzhong asked coldly.
Li Deyi trembled, and at this moment he wanted to slap himself twice.
"Go down and find out about Chen Xiaoting's situation!"
These words made Li Deyi like an amnesty, and hurriedly retreated from the room, but he didn't know that Liu Jinzhong's eyes were full of murderous intent when he looked at him.
That's right, Liu Jinzhong's attack on Chen Xiaoting was not considered from Zhu Xiulin's interests at all, but based on his own emotions and interests.
For Liu Jinzhong, Chen Xiaoting not only has an enmity with him, but now he is more likely to compete with him for favor in front of King Wu, so he must kill the other party.
For people like Liu Jinzhong, everything else is secondary, and only himself is the most important.
Whether this will ruin Zhu Xiulin's big thing is not within Liu Jinzhong's consideration at all, if he can't get what he wants, he won't feel distressed if he ruins the world.
It's just that next, if Liu Jinzhong wants to seize Chen Xiaoting's power, he must have a reasonable explanation to Zhu Xiulin.
"Just say...... Chen Xiaoting secretly took refuge in King Yuyang, and what he did today in Jinyiwei was to seize power...... Then take control of the capital and welcome the king of Yuyang into Beijing! ”
It's a trumped-up charge, and it's a perfect crime.
Liu Jinzhong believed that Zhu Xiulin, who learned that King Yuyang was about to arrive outside the capital, would not delve into the truth at all.
"So, even if you don't die tonight, our family will clean you up tomorrow!" Liu Jinzhong said in a deep voice.
Immediately, the celebrant sounded his smug smile, I am afraid that now Chen Xiaoting still doesn't know who did it to him.
On the other side, at the south gate outside the capital, a team slowly arrived.
The South Gate had been under martial law since last night, and it was now crowded with a large number of people and vendors, as well as horse-drawn carriages pulling goods.
Due to the blockade of the capital, they are all stranded in this place, and most of them are worried, and they will lose money by staying outside.
Only the peddlers who bought food and drink were very happy, and today they made a lot of money in one day, and after they sold out of food, they took a lot from their homes.
Looking at the situation outside the carriage, Zhu Xiuyin's expression was full of solemnity, and he was worried that he would also be stopped outside.
Since yesterday he decided to return to Beijing, and after more than a day of travel, he finally came to the south gate of the capital.
At this moment, the sun is about to set, but his honor guard of King Yuyang is still recognizable.
After all, Zhu Xiuyin had not left the capital for a few days, and when he left Beijing, he also walked through the south gate, and the soldiers of the guards had an impression.
The commander of the palace guards came to the city gate, raised his head and shouted: "Open the city gate, our King Yuyang will enter the capital!" ”
Above the city gate, there was a hundred households on duty, and at this moment he could only come to the battlements and shout downwards: "The prince forgives the sins...... There is a will, the gates of the capital are closed, and they cannot be opened without a will! ”
"So, please go back!"
"What will? Who's giving the order? Hurry up and open the door and let my prince enter the city! ”
At this moment, the thousands of households who received the report also climbed the city tower, and after waving off the hundreds of households under him, he rushed down and shouted: "Don't embarrass us, I am all acting according to orders, and I dare not open the door without a will!" ”
"Presumptuous ......"
The commander of the guards was losing his temper, but was stopped by Zhu Xiuyin in the rear: "Shut up!" ”
"Stand down!"
He listened to everything in his ears, and it was hateful that the forbidden army would not let him go, but now he must not turn his face with these people.
Then, Zhu Xiuyin walked out of the carriage directly with the respect of his prince.
In order to protect his safety, the guards drove the surrounding people out of the twenty zhang, but it also made Zhu Xiuyin pay attention at the moment.
At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun was sprinkled on Zhu Xiuyin's face, so that the thousands of households on the city wall could see his face clearly, and knew that it was King Yuyang himself.
"General, please make it convenient, this king will have a good reward!" Zhu Xiuyin said solemnly.
The "good reward" in his dignified prince's mouth is definitely very attractive, but the thousands of households on the city tower have words of suffering.
Opening the door is disrespectful, and not opening the door will offend King Yuyang, which is not a good result.
But in comparison with the two, it is still easy to come to the result, naturally offending Zhu Xiuyin is not so serious.
"Please don't embarrass the ministers, there is a holy purpose...... Wechen didn't dare to resist the order! ”
This is Zhu Xiulin's advantage, as long as he is in the palace, he can use the imperial power to confront Zhu Xiuyin.
At this moment, he had to enter the city, so Zhu Xiuyin couldn't care so much.
"General, the emperor is critically ill, life and death are only in the blink of an eye, can you watch it...... I'm a son who can't see my father's last face? ”
These words, in fact, cannot be said explicitly, after the news of the emperor's critical illness spreads, it will only add more variables.
Sure enough, after hearing Zhu Xiuyin's words, the thousands of households on the city tower were shocked.
At this time, he could also understand why he suddenly asked for the blockade of the capital, it must not be the reason of the White Lotus Sect to make trouble.
At this moment, a sharp voice sounded from the city tower, and it was indeed the supervisor army stationed here by the West Factory.
"King Yuyang, the emperor is a person who wants to become an immortal, and he is in good health, don't spread rumors to confuse the public!"
"Please also follow the emperor's decree and hurry to Yuyang to become a vassal, so as not to make the emperor angry!"
The words of this eunuch are undoubtedly more convincing than Zhu Xiuyin's words, after all, the matter of the emperor's edict ordering him to become a vassal has spread in the capital.
At this moment, I only heard the eunuch of the West Factory shouting: "No one is allowed to open the city gate without a will, and those who violate it will ...... Immediately slash! ”
Zhu Xiuyin was stopped outside, and the people inside were also anxious
