On the ninth day of August in the twenty-sixth year of Yongzhi, the summer vacation has come to an end.

The temperature in the capital has dropped, but the heat of the battle in the court is rising.

Although Xichang took people away, the officials of the Qin Party had no intention of giving up, and the fold of impeachment floated into the palace like snowflakes.

These twists and turns did not play any role other than making the emperor feel uncomfortable.

At the same time, the officials of Huang Yucheng's family did not sit still, and impeached Qin party officials one after another for beating Qin Cha.

Under these circumstances, Zhu Yujun fine-tuned the court situation, dismissed several officials who had made the most trouble, and at the same time ordered the arrest of the officials who beat Huang Ting and Wang Ruolin.

The emperor's purpose in doing this was to suppress the arrogance of the Qin party, but the final effect was not very good.

The Qin party officials did not mean to stop the drums, but handed out more recitals, and even these people petitioned outside the gate of the Yuxu Palace twice.

The situation is getting out of control, which is even more serious than Zhu Yujun imagined.

Although he was ill, Zhu Yujun still had to meet with the two ministers and strictly ordered them to restrain their subordinates.

In addition, Zhu Yujun also summoned Zhou Siyuan, the secretary of the ministry, many times.

This person is second only to the two cabinet ministers in the court, and is a representative of neutral officials in the court, and an important cornerstone of Zhu Yujun's stability in the court.

The reason why the matter was out of control this time was entirely because the centrists in the court were provoked and joined the impeachment team of the Qin Party.

After Huang Mingxuan was caught in the West Factory, the outside world has been wonderful.

Fortunately, Huang Ting didn't have to pay attention to the outside situation, he only needed to wait for the emperor's order.

After Huang Mingxuan entered the West Factory, he was not tortured, and everyone knows what is going on.

Even so, staying in the Xichang prison, the pressure in Huang Mingxuan's heart was as heavy as a mountain.

He did write that poem, as long as there is this crime, there is no place for him in the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Huang Mingxuan was like a living dead, staying in prison every day, staring at the skylight above his head.

Such days have passed for several days, but fortunately, Liu Jinzhong did not embarrass him, and he was well supplied with food and drink.

Just when Huang Mingxuan thought that today would pass like this, footsteps sounded outside the cell.

It was rare for someone to appear, Huang Mingxuan couldn't help but look up, but saw not just one person, but seven or eight.

The first person was Liu Jinzhong, the commander of the West Factory, and several people behind him were carrying food boxes in their hands.

This strange scene made Huang Mingxuan feel uneasy, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

The door of the cell was opened, and Liu Jinzhong stood outside the cell, watching his men busy inside.

These people took the dishes out of the food box, all good dishes that took a lot of effort to obtain, and even today there is a pot of wine.

After all the food and wine were arranged, these people all leaned back and stood, and Liu Jinzhong walked in from outside at this time.

Someone took the initiative to step forward and put the stool behind Liu Jinzhong.

After Liu Jinzhong sat down, he said to Huang Mingxuan: "Master Huang, please take a seat!" ”

Huang Mingxuan was on an errand in the Hanlin Academy, and it was not inappropriate to call him a bachelor, after all, he had not been dismissed from his official position until now.

Although he didn't know what tricks Liu Jinzhong was going to play, Huang Mingxuan had no choice at the moment, so he walked to the table.

At Liu Jinzhong's signal, Huang Mingxuan sat opposite him.

"Mr. Huang, how are you living in it these days?"

"If there is someone inside who is not well entertained, you just have to tell our family!"

While speaking, Liu Jinzhong also took the initiative to lift the wine jug and poured wine into the glass in front of him.

There were two of them, but only one wine glass.

After filling the wine glass, Liu Jinzhong pushed the wine glass in front of Huang Mingxuan, and then said, "Drink this glass of wine, and you can go out!" ”

I served the wine again, and said that I could leave after drinking...... Huang Mingxuan is a smart person and easily understands what is in the wine glass.

It was precisely because he understood in his heart that his face was so pale at the moment that he couldn't control the trembling of his body.

"This ...... Is it the emperor's meaning? Huang Mingxuan asked.

Now that Huang Mingxuan already knew it, Liu Jinzhong stopped acting, and simply said: "That's right! ”

"Drink it, drink it...... It's all over! ”

This not only refers to the end of Huang Mingxuan's suffering, but also to say that after his death, the strife in the court will end.

In the face of death, not to mention Huang Mingxuan, the son of a family, even the soldiers who have survived a hundred battles, it is difficult to say that they can face it calmly.

I had to get this done today, so Liu Jinzhong got up and walked behind Huang Mingxuan, patted him on the shoulder and said, "The emperor gave you a decent way to die, it is already the emperor's grace, don't be ignorant!" ”

Seeing that Huang Mingxuan was unmoved, Liu Jinzhong continued: "Master Huang, if you don't want to be decent, then our family can only send someone to help you!" ”

Inside the cell, the fans of Xichang stared at Huang Mingxuan coldly, making this place more and more cold.

At this moment, in Huang Mingxuan's heart, in addition to hesitation and helplessness, the ...... appeared in his mind It was his grandfather Huang Yucheng's kind smile.

Unfortunately, the smile faded away, so that it finally disappeared.

Observing the expression on Huang Mingxuan's face, Liu Jinzhong continued: "Master Huang, don't make it difficult for our family!" ”

If this matter was not explained by the emperor himself, Liu Jinzhong would not have come in person, and directly ordered his subordinates to do it.

"Father-in-law Liu, you go to my grandfather...... He must have a way! Huang Mingxuan said this sentence tremblingly.

At this moment, Liu Jinzhong's expression became gloomy, and the only smile disappeared without a trace at this moment.

"You guys come and help him!" Liu Jinzhong ordered directly.

It turns out that all he said just now is nonsense, and everything has to be forced.

But Liu Jinzhong had to do this, although his western factory was ironclad, it was difficult to say that it was impermeable.

It is difficult to guarantee that Huang Yucheng will not know what happened today, so Liu Jinzhong will go around in such a big circle, which is to tell Huang Yucheng that he has done his duty.

The monarch wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die!

This sentence has always been read by officials, but when it really happened to them, it was like a thousand pounds.

Since he was summoned by the emperor to the present, Huang Yucheng has not said a word, and has been sitting in the study since returning home.

Bang bang bang...... There was a knock on the door outside the study!

"Master, it's time to eat!" The butler reminded outside.

went around and around, but in the end he still didn't save his grandson's life, how did you let Huang Yucheng have the heart to eat.

"Didn't you say don't let me bother? Go...... Take twenty rods yourself! ”

Huang Yucheng's tone was indifferent, and the housekeeper outside didn't dare to argue for himself, so he had to leave silently to be punished.

In the study, what came to Huang Yucheng's mind was the conversation between Fang Cai and the emperor.

The reason has been explained very thoroughly, Huang Mingxuan must die, only in this way can the dispute be ended.

"The king wants his ministers to die...... The minister had to die! ”

"Grandson, it's grandpa who is useless, I can't protect you!"

At this moment, the wind suddenly rose from the outside world, which not only blew the fallen leaves outside the study, but also made the windows beat.
