In the Forbidden City, outside the palace, the civil and military officials waiting for the last dynasty had their own thoughts, and the well-informed people already knew what happened last night, but the result was not reported, so everyone turned their attention to Yang Sichang, Liu Yuliang, Ni Yuanlu and other cabinet scholars, as well as Chen Xinjia, a squire of the military department, hoping that these bigwigs could come out and explain.

However, like the confusion of most officials, Yang Sichang was invited when Fan Fucui was in tandem, but he chose not to help each other in exchange for releasing Xue Guoguan if Fan Fucui succeeded. But for a whole night, Fan Fucui did not send anyone to deliver the news.

Liu Yuliang and Ni Yuanlu looked at Chen Xinjia, the squire of the military department. Chen Xinjia shook his head blankly, obviously the actual head of the military department didn't know anything about last night's troop movement.

Just when everyone was speculating, a familiar person appeared on the palace wall, Fang Zhenghua, the commander of Jingying! Fang Zhenghua stood on the city wall expressionlessly, looking down at the civil and military officials, his eyes wandering in the crowd. After a while, the palace door opened, and a team of soldiers with bright armor came out of the doorway, first surrounded the civil and military officials who were waiting for the court, and then saw the eunuch Gao Keng coming out of the doorway, holding a piece of paper in his hand, he stood still in front of the civil and military officials and began to sing loudly: "Chen Guogong and Fan Fucui, a cabinet scholar, and Gao Qiqian, the eunuch of Bingli, conspired to rebel, led the troops to storm the palace, and collided with the holy driver. The rest of the officials who gave Fan and other support all took it down on the spot...... "As Gao Keng pronounced out a name, a sergeant stepped forward and took it down in public. When Gao Keng finished reading, everyone found that the officials who were originally waiting for the court were actually two or three percent less, and this was just the marginal characters who were initially explained by those who were the leaders.

Yang Sichang wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, looked at his colleagues around him, and had mixed feelings in his heart. On the one hand, I regret that Xue Guoguan can't change because of this incident, and on the other hand, I am glad that I didn't rashly agree to Fan Fucui in the first place.

Chen Xinjia looked at the square on the palace wall suspiciously, it stands to reason that if the palace rebellion is not supported by several generals in Beijing, there is basically no chance of victory, unless the emperor and his son are directly killed, and then quickly support the new emperor. So is it the emperor Zhu Youzhen who is sitting in the palace now, or is it the new emperor who unloads the mill and kills the donkey supported by Fan Fucui and others? No matter which one it is, I'm afraid that his life as a soldier is not good, Chen Xinjia thought so and waited until someone next to him reminded him that it was time to go to court, and then he woke up like a dream.

In the Taihe Palace, Zhu Youzhen sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy face, surrounded by Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun, Yang Hongzhang, Gao Shiming, Xia Dongwei and others standing under the Danchi. Yang Sichang walked at the front of the crowd, and he knew last night's result without seeing Fan Fucui. Seeing Yang Hongzhang, he also understood that Fan Fucui should have missed this monkey. The other civil and military officials were also relieved to see the emperor Zhu Youzhen sitting on the dragon chair safe and sound.

didn't let everyone wait too long, Cao Huachun briefly told the civil and military officials what happened last night, and then Zhu Youzhen ordered the three divisions to interrogate the main culprit, accomplices and others. Then the second holy decree was to promote Lu Xiang to be promoted to a scholar of Dongge University, and Chen Xinjia to be a scholar of Wenhuadian University, so that with the exit of Xue Guoguan and Fan Fucui, several scholars in the new cabinet were Sun Chengzong, Yang Sichang, Liu Yuliang, Ni Yuanlu, Lu Xiangsheng, and Chen Xinjia, which reached the number of people who were retained, so everyone began to guess the division of labor of several people.

Soon Zhu Youzhen's third decree came down, and Sun Chengzong was recalled to be promoted to the first assistant, and Lu Xiangsheng replaced Sun Chengzong to supervise Liaodong. This arrangement is also reasonable, Lu Xiangsheng's university identity is completely for the needs of the governor Liaodong, and the cabinet is actually five people after the change. So everyone looked at Yang Sichang again, obviously the emperor was dissatisfied with his performance in fighting against the Qing army, with the fall of Xue Guoguan and Fan Fucui successively, the original cabinet actually only left Yang Sichang as a veteran, but the emperor still recalled Sun Chengzong as the first assistant.

Yang Sichang is looking at Zhu Youzhen, Cao Huachun, Yang Hongzhang and others to know the life and death of Fan Fucui and others, he doesn't care about how many people there are in the cabinet now, but cares about whether Fan Fucui will involve him as an outsider if he is alive, if Fan Fucui says it, even if he does not participate in the end, it is a big crime to not report it.

Chen Xinjia breathed a sigh of relief, the emperor used him so much, obviously he didn't care about his fault for the poor deployment or lax control of the military department.

It is the emperor's power to promote the cabinet scholars, and the next thing is how to eliminate the safety of the rebel party and the capital, and all the civil and military officials perform their duties. What is surprising is that Yang Hongzhang, a brave and warlike general, is also the assistant of Fang Zhenghua, the deputy general of the Beijing camp, and his main responsibility is to protect the safety of the palace.

After the next dynasty, the city of Beijing lost its previous tranquility, and the soldiers were everywhere to arrest people and raid their homes, and the gates of the entire Beijing city were closed, and the soldiers and horses of the Fifty Percent Division, the Shuntian Mansion, the Criminal Department, the Dali Temple, and the Inspectorate were all dispatched, and the whole Beijing city was jumped.

Yang Hongzhang was also among this group of people, and he rushed to the palace in time with his men and horses last night, and after defeating the men and horses brought by Fan Fucui from outside the palace, most of the forbidden troops surrendered, and the eunuchs were killed. Yang Hongzhang also took the opportunity to sneak to Xiang Yunfang's bedroom, but Xiang Yunfang insisted on not leaving before returning to the battle scene stupidly, I heard that Yang Hongzhang took people to other palaces to clear the remnants, Zhu Youzhen did not suspect it, but he was curious about Yang Hongzhang's arrival in addition to being moved. Yang Hongzhang also told the truth, and introduced the eunuch who reported the news to Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen heard that the little eunuch was ordered by Concubine Xiang to move Yang Hongzhang, the rescuer Long Yan Dayue, in time, and then promoted to Yunfang as a concubine, and chose a day to canonize, and the little eunuch won three consecutive levels to become the chief eunuch of the fifth grade, the little eunuch did not seem to get carried away, and insisted on continuing to serve Xiang Guifei, which made Zhu Youzhen even happier.

Zhu Youzhen was happy, but Yang Hongzhang was not happy, originally thought that Xiang Yunfang was here for Chongxi, but Tian Guifei did not survive because of this, she should be left out in the cold, and she was worried about the rest of her life. Now that he has been named a concubine, Yang Hongzhang is even more unhappy, after all, she is his own woman.

Zhu Youzhen saw Yang Hongzhang's fugue in the sky, and thought that he was worried about what happened to him after he came to the capital, if Fan Fucui succeeded tonight, in addition to Emperor Zhu Youzhen, the first person to be liquidated should be Yang Hongzhang. Therefore, Yang Hongzhang's serious expression is understandable, so Zhu Youzhen opened his mouth, Cao Huachun was responsible for copying Chen Guogong's house, and Yang Hongzhang was responsible for arresting the courtier Yu Dang and copying Fan Fucui's house.

In the time of waiting for the ministers to go to court, Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen came to congratulate Yang Hongzhang more than once, and it is obvious that these two think that copying the family is a fat difference, and generally only people trusted by the emperor can be put on the stall. Yang Hongzhang didn't have so much thought, and directly asked Changbao to take 600 people without flintlock pistols to Fan Fucui's mansion, and the remaining 400 musketeers obeyed orders in the palace.

Raiding homes and arresting people is not Yang Hongzhang's specialty, but fortunately, he is only in charge of a few people, and he has long been controlled. His side was busy, but the cabinet was noisy. Because the Cabinet University Faculty thought that it was inappropriate for Yang Hongzhang to hold two positions, Yang Sichang believed that in order to protect the safety of the palace, Yang Hongzhang should be removed from the position of a member of the household department, and Ni Yuanlu insisted that for the smooth progress of the tax rate reform, Yang Hongzhang should not be distracted, and the palace meeting could be handed over to others or directly to those under Yang Hongzhang.

Zhu Youzhen was very annoyed by the noise, so he asked Chen Xinjia, Chen Xinjia had no prejudice against Yang Hongzhang, but insisted from his perspective that a general like Yang Hongzhang should fight for the country like Lu Xiangsheng.

Chen Xinjia didn't say how to arrange it, so Yang Sichang climbed the pole and turned to support Chen Xinjia, thinking that Yang Hongzhang should be included in the ranks of military generals, give full play to her talents, and defend the country for the country.

So Zhu Youzhen revisited the old words and asked several cabinet scholars, now that the chief soldier of Shanxi Town, Hu Dawei, and the chief soldier of Jizhen Town, have died in battle, and Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Xuanda, has left office, where should Yang Hongzhang go?

Hearing this, Yang Sichang and Chen Xinjia were stunned, obviously neither of them thought that the emperor was actually preparing to let the twenty-year-old Yang Hongzhang take such an important position! Especially Yang Sichang, obviously unwilling for Yang Hongzhang to do it in one step, even Liu Yuliang disapproves of this. And Ni Yuanlu insisted on leaving Yang Hongzhang, so none of the four spoke.

Zhu Youzhen threw off his sleeve robe and left, and then issued a decree to the cabinet, transferring Yang Hongzhang as the chief soldier of Jizhen, and only half an hour after going down to the cabinet, the cabinet directly rejected it, and Zhu Youzhen immediately issued another decree, transferring Yang Hongzhang to the general army of Datong, and Wang Fu to be the general soldier of Shanxi. This time, the cabinet discussed for an hour, and it was still a refutation.

Although the emperor's two decrees were refuted, several people were not easy, the emperor's temper was not good, and he was young and stubborn. So they are all thinking of a way to achieve their goal and make the emperor happy. Especially Chen Xinjia, who has just been promoted by the emperor, also advocates that a brave and warlike person like Yang Hongzhang should be in the army, and mainly in the border army. But Yang Hongzhang was too young, and several other people naturally didn't want him to be the chief soldier of a town. From the bottom of his heart, Chen Xinjia also did not support Yang Hongzhang to serve as the chief soldier of a town at such a young age, after all, the general soldier belonged to the feudal officials, and they were all boiled out of the same cabinet when they were in college.

They are assertive, the emperor has a temper, and now that they have refuted the emperor's decree, they must find a way to make the emperor happy, especially after experiencing Fan Fucui's rebellion, it is inevitable that the emperor will be suspicious! But how to arrange Yang Hongzhang is really a headache.
