There were shouts of killing from Han Zhong's mansion and Liu Zhiyuan's mansion, and after hearing the movement, the Son of Heaven ascended to the terrace in the palace and overlooked.

A group of chamberlains followed him, and a personal chamberlain put on a cloak for the emperor to block the wind, although it was not yet late at night, but the spring was cold, it was better to be careful.

As usual, the people of the Inner Chamberlain were not allowed to express any opinion on external affairs, and after the palace gate was closed, the inside and outside were isolated, and the demeanor of the Inner Servants was much more relaxed, not like the appearance of walking on thin ice when they went out to the minister, but in any case, asking them to express their views and evaluations of the current situation was something that these Inner Servants categorically did not dare to do.

When today's son has a very negative view of the inner servant, and he is jealous of the unkindness, he will never forgive the inner servant if he has a small fault, and punish him, no matter how much kindness there is, he will never be soft.

Emperor Xuanzong is also a strict and resolute emperor, but he is much more kind to the inner servant, and even after Emperor Xuanzong ascended the throne for many years, he still called the inner servant he grew up with as his elder brother, which is quite rare and valuable.

More than a dozen high-ranking chamberlains only dared to surround the Son of Heaven at this time, and were silent.

It is also quite rare for the flames to burst into the sky, the shouts of killing are incessant, and everywhere else is pitch black.

Historically, the emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty would make a gesture of enjoying himself with the people, and even if the current officials don't like it, they will do what they should do.

Every year during the Shangyuan Festival, there are lanterns all over the city, and the city is full of light, and the Son of Heaven will climb the inner city gate to look out, and will greet the people who flock to the palace gate, and the people will be satisfied with this and let out bursts of cheers.

No matter which dynasty the Son of Heaven is, this ancestral system has never been violated.

However, the Son of Heaven will also have his own preferences, if you don't want to alarm the people, and you want to climb high and look far away, this terrace in front of you is the best place.

The terrace is also known as the Sendai, more than 10 zhang high nearly 50 meters, in addition to the three immortal mountains in the West Garden, there is no higher building than this Xiantai in the whole city of tens of miles wide.

This Emperor Xuanzong built up the high platform, it is said that it was originally to be repaired to a hundred meters high, when the country was rich and the people were strong, the country had an annual income of 200 million, there was nowhere to go with a lot of money, it was the concubine Li who wanted to repair the platform, when Emperor Xuanzong was going to the court, Li asked the Son of Heaven to make sure that the two governments agreed to repair the platform, and the Son of Heaven said: Get it.

As a result, the meeting between the Son of Heaven and the two governments was sprayed with a spit on the face of the prime minister at the time, and he was greatly displeased when he came back, but he still changed the size of Sendai to the current scale.

It is said that the Li family was frightened, and said: Duyun Tianzi is precious, and today he knows that the prime minister is really precious.

Somehow, the Son of Heaven stood on the terrace, thinking of such an allusion to the past.

It's not relish, it's a little bitter on the contrary.

In any case, tonight's incident can be regarded as setting a precedent that Great Wei should not have.

In the past, there was also the matter of retiring the prime minister, once it was the small hall of the east gate of the Son of Heaven, the lock of the courtyard, the summoning of the Hanlin bachelor draft, the dismissal of the prime minister, and at the same time worshiped people, the prime minister who went to work generally gave the three princes a vacant position, such as the Taishi, the Taibao, or the Taifu, and then passed the ride to the court, and sent back to the old home to live idlely.

The prime minister is precious, and he cannot hold another post after retirement, which is a double respect for the official position of the imperial court and the prime minister himself.

Every time you visit the prime minister, in addition to the actual position, such as the Zhongshu Order, Shangshu Zuocheng, will also be crowned the prince of the country, and at the same time serve as the crown prince Shibao, after the prime minister retires, add the Taibao, Fu, Shi, this is the Son of Heaven respects the Xiangguo, and gives the necessary respect.

Only in this way can the prime minister preside over government affairs, assist in yin and yang, inherit the mandate of heaven, and control hundreds of officials.

It is not that there is no prime minister who has been punished for his crimes, but it is also very rare, after being reprimanded by the envoy, the prime minister who committed the crime will commit suicide with a sword, and the Son of Heaven will mourn after hearing the report, in order to show the honor after his death.

There has never been such a thing, the Great Counselor and the Prime Minister met each other, and the Son of Heaven wanted to dismiss the prime minister, so he also sent Lang Guards and horses, instead of sending a few chamberlains to carry out the edict.

Even though he has always boasted very highly, the Son of Chongde still felt that his face was feverish, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

And it's not just two obvious fires and shouts of killing, Nuodajingli, you can almost see more than half of the city from a height of dozens of meters, but tonight, except for two mansions with obvious fires, there is darkness everywhere.

When Taizu established Jingshi, dozens of important roads were equipped with street lights, and the Highway Bureau of Jingzhao Prefecture was responsible for adding lamp oil, and the street lamps were lit at night to illuminate pedestrians who returned late.

There are even some children from poor families who can't afford to light oil lamps at night, so they go to study under the street lamps.

Tonight, not only was all the mansions dark, but even the street lights were black, which made the Son of Heaven quite angry, and made up his mind that after the big thing was decided, he must ask a few relevant officials.

This is the Son of Heaven, he didn't think that the officials of the Highway Bureau are also people, and they are leisurely adding oil and lighting lamps on the road in the shouting of killing, who can do it?

"Your Majesty." An attendant climbed up panting, and reported: "Jin Wuwei Duxiang commanded Shi Yuji, Lang Zhong ordered Chen Changde to send someone to report, Xiangguo's mansion was guarded by someone, and Nan'an Hou Xu Zixian said that he was ordered to quell the chaos, and Wu Guogong Xu Zicheng colluded with Liu Zhiyuan, the chief counselor, to conspire to rebel and usurp the throne. ”

"Liu Zhiyuan, Xu Zicheng?" The Son of Heaven became vigilant all of a sudden, and the matter involved a big position, and the Son of Heaven was more vigilant, and how vigilant he would be.

"Where is Wu Guogong?" The Son of Heaven asked the envoy Hou Guan, who was in charge of espionage.

After the establishment of the Great Wei Dynasty, the imperial power, the prime minister's power, the clan, and the military power were in charge, each with its own people, and they were involved with each other, and there was really no power for the ministers to grasp the military and political power in order to do wrong.

Until the establishment of this dynasty, after more than 200 years of war at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the old family was almost wiped out, and this dynasty also focused on the imperial examination, plus the use of the clan mixed with sand, the probability of having the ability to usurp the country was originally very small.

Even so, the weight of imperial power still makes it difficult for the reigning son of heaven to sleep.

Set up internal envoys and marquis officials to spy on hundreds of officials, including the prime minister, which is also a thing that appeared during the Xuanzong period.

Of course, the hundred officials have a lot of complaints, but it is not good to oppose them openly, after all, this generation is the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, and it is a supplement to the imperial history.

The marquis of the Great Wei Dynasty was not the Dongchang and Jinyi Guards of the Ming Dynasty, and they did not have the power to arrest criminals, but they were spying on news in the shadows, like rats in the sewers.

Of course, the gentlemen and doctors were dissatisfied with this behavior, but only with their dissatisfaction.

"Echo Officer's house." The envoy Hou Guan said: "The most rewarding thing before dark, Wu Guogong went to the Great Staff Mansion. ”

The Son of Heaven's face turned red all of a sudden, and an indescribable sense of anger welled up in his heart.

When Liu Zhiyuan played in the small hall of the inner east gate, he said that Xu Zicheng and Xu Zixian colluded with Han Zhong and Xu Xiashang to plot against each other. As a result, the Son of Heaven ordered Lang Wei to arrest Han Zhong according to his request, but Xu Zicheng turned around and went directly to Liu Zhiyuan's mansion.

Among them, is it someone else's conspiracy, or is Liu Zhiyuan deliberately doing it and betting on both ends?

The Son of Heaven suddenly became anxious, and the current situation suddenly became confusing, so that he couldn't tell the difference between right and wrong.

"What else?" The Son of Heaven held back his anger and asked the attendant who reported the news.

"Han Zhong's mansion, there is a Jing Navy festival envoy who leads the troops to guard it." The chamberlain said: "Chen Changde, Shi Yuji played, please make a decision, if you want to attack the prime minister's mansion, I am afraid you will have to add troops, it is best to send Yu Lin Lang to hold the white tiger flag, summon the privy Chen Badger, lieutenant Li Jian, and hold the festival to the prime minister's mansion, so as to quickly conquer the prime minister's mansion ......"

"Rubbish, what rubbish!" The Son of Heaven finally couldn't help it, his face turned red, and he slapped the stone fence that connected Sendai.

The attendants all around him looked trembling, but no one spoke out for Shi Yuji, and Chen Chang had to defend himself.

The palace guards, Shi Yuji is the outermost, Chen Changde is Lang Zhongling, and then Li Jian, the veteran lieutenant who is in charge of Yulin Lang, is the most trusted and relied on by the Son of Heaven.

The forbidden army of the foreign dynasty is under the privy council, but to mobilize the army, it is necessary to have the Son of Heaven to issue a tiger talisman, there is no tiger talisman, the privy envoy, the deputy envoy, and the commander of the chamber known as the imperial camp manager, whether it is Wang Tong or Li Enmao, have no right to use even one of the troops, and when they are used, they have to risk being robbed of their homes and exterminated!

The Jingying forbidden army, not only under the privy control, but also the people in charge of the army in each compartment are often summoned by the Son of Heaven, plus the deputy management army, the marquis of Duyu, and the military envoy of the supervising army, any of the compartments are commanded, and the forbidden army under his command exceeds 20,000 people, but the number of people who are used at will will never exceed 1,000.

It has to be an arrogant soldier, and dare to risk the life of the benefactor with the temperament, ordinary people, even if they get the favor, risk the life of the family and their own family, or two words, don't dare.

With Jin Wu Weiwei and Lang Zhongling, the attitude of the Son of Heaven has been quite obvious, but as a result, this more than 1,000 Lang Weileng did not dare to attack, nor did he force Han Zhong to commit suicide, but asked the Son of Heaven to increase his troops.

The privy deputy envoy He Badger is the general of the Beijing camp management army, the Beijing camp is also known as the imperial camp, because there is a palace front division, the guard horse military division, the infantry military division, known as the three ya, the real principal of the three ya, of course, is the captain, the captain is the top of the real military officer, although the captain of the Great Wei is far less than the captain of the Qin and Han dynasties is the real power, but to the command of the chamber, the degree of the envoy, and one step further, is the apex of the military attaché, the captain.

Xuanzong reformed, abolished the front division of the palace and the military division of Sima Bu, commanded by the Taiwei to control all compartments, generally the Son of Heaven will appoint three or four senior generals to control more than ten or twenty generals at the level of the army, privy envoys, deputy envoys for daily management and scheduling, and whether it is a lieutenant or a privy secret, if you want to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp, you must have an imperial envoy to serve the edict, and after the edict is announced, you can be qualified to dispatch the soldiers of the Beijing camp.

There is a Beijing camp outside, a Lang guard inside, and a royal palace inside and outside, which is the reason for the peace of the Great Wei Dynasty for more than 200 years.

Now the emperor is not a lieutenant, and he believes in the imperial generals, that is, Jinwu Weiwei, lieutenant, and Lang Zhongling and others, but these people he relies on are out-and-out waste, more than 1,300 people dare not attack the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Son of Heaven will issue a tiger talisman to mobilize the imperial camp and forbidden army?

This is spreading, the internal and external systems are divided, each has its own pattern of domination, and this great chaos, where will the prestige of the Son of Heaven fall to the bottom?
