Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, Li Dongyang, the second assistant, and Xie Qian, the third assistant, went out of the Qianqing Gate one after another.

The third cabinet elder has been gloomy.

Obviously, Zhu Houzhao's behavior just now had too much impact on them, and these cabinet elders have not yet come to their senses.

Liu Jianyi, the first assistant of the cabinet, remembered that he had been slapped by Zhu Houzhao, and at this time he was still clenching his fists, gritting his teeth with ten thousand grievances: "Zhu Houzhao!" ”

Xie Qian, the third assistant of the cabinet, was also like Liu Jian, and it was both unacceptable and unbearable for Emperor Zhu Houzhao's sudden ruthlessness:

"I thought that His Majesty was just stubborn today, but now it seems that he is not only stubborn but also extremely ruthless, how can such a king be the blessing of Confucianism? According to Xie Mou, since we have killed Jun once, why do we need to do it again! ”

"How can you kill it, the new emperor died tragically less than a year after he ascended the throne? And then who to choose as the new king? The first emperor only has one son, His Majesty, if he chooses a new monarch, he can only choose from among the vassal kings, how can he do such a big thing before he finds out his temperament! ”

Li Dongyang, the second assistant of the cabinet, said and said: "Now it depends on Wang Yue, when Zhang Zhao brings the officers and soldiers into the palace, Wang Yue has his own way to force His Majesty to kill Liu Jin and others, if Wang Yue can't do this, it will be him who will die, as long as Wang Yue kills Liu Jin and others and even plots to rebel and kill the king, in the end, the matter of establishing a new monarch is still our decision!" ”

"The old man hopes that he Zhu Houzhao can know some physiognomy, so that Emperor Xiaozong's vein will not be broken in his hands!"

Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, sneered coldly, and when he laughed, he couldn't help but tear the wound painfully, and he hated Zhu Houzhao even more in his heart for a while.

Since the Ming Dynasty, the rise of the civil official group, coupled with the generosity of Emperor Xiaozong's kindness to others, made the civil officials so arrogant that they could no longer adapt to the king's domineering rule, and even forgot that many times the emperor would show his fangs even if he was a gentle lion.

……

Jinyiwei is actually in charge of arresting the prison is the Beizhen Fusi, and the chief of the Beizhen Fusi is generally the Jinyi Weidu command of the affairs of the Jinyi Wei, in charge of the Zhenfu Affairs, from the beginning of the Chenghua period, the head of the Beizhen Fusi can directly arrest the prison affairs of the emperor without reporting to the Jinyi Weidu Command of the Governor, in charge of the Zhenfu and Jinyi Wei Governor, Jinyi Wei is in charge of the affairs, and the Jinyi Wei Governor is not allowed to interfere.

Therefore, at that time, Jin Yiwei commanded the title of servant, and Mu Bin, who was in charge of the affairs of the Fu Division, had great power.

At this time, Mu Bin returned to his good friend, dressed in a Confucian robe, stepping on the stove, like a rich man, the hot tea in his hand was handed to his mouth, but he refused to drink it for a long time, he still recalled in his mind the scene of the sudden assassination of the emperor Zhu Houzhao in front of the door in the morning, and then the eunuch Zhang Zhao was removed from his post and sent to prison.

Because, the assassination of the Ming Emperor is not trivial, if Zhu Houzhao is willing, he can even take him, the brocade guard, to command the affairs, and remove the affairs of the town.

But even a three-year-old child could see that this alleged assassination was a drunkard's ploy, because no assassin would assassinate the emperor with a stick, and assassinate the emperor in public.

Therefore, the Jinyi guards are all in command of the affairs, and Mu Bin, the secretary in charge of the town, can guess that this must be a play performed by His Majesty himself and in order to achieve the purpose of replacing the imperial horse supervisor and even the Dongchang Jinyi guard, and now it is only the people of the imperial horse supervisor who are temporarily replaced, but Mu Bin doesn't know if even he, the Jinyi guard, will command the affairs and replace the secretary of the town.

But Jin Yiwei commanded the affairs, and Mu Bin, who was in charge of the Fu Division, thought that Zhu Houzhao finally let Jin Yiwei arrest Zhang Zhao was obviously testing himself, and he couldn't help but put down the teacup for a while, and said to himself:

"Your Majesty is looking at your own performance, but the old man can't take refuge in His Majesty's name so easily, you have to wait and see what the wind is going to do, as long as Your Majesty doesn't die like the first emperor, the old man can be an out-and-out loyal minister."

Jinyi Wei was in command of the affairs, and Mu Bin, who was in charge of the town and Fu Si, saw his cronies Mu Qing coming over: "Master, Lu Qi, the godson of Duke Lu, came to pass on His Majesty's dictation, saying that Zhang Zhao should be released!" ”

After hearing this, Mu Bin couldn't help but smile faintly: "This is probably not an edict, it is the celebrant and civil officials who want Zhang Zhao to transfer troops, the prince and the elders can't afford to provoke it, so they ordered to go down, obey Your Majesty's dictation, and let Zhang Zhao go!" At that time, even if His Majesty wins, we will say that it is the Duke of Lu who pretends to pass on the holy decree, and if the princes win, we will also be regarded as doing personal favors! But think about it now, even if Your Majesty has a city government, he is only a fifteen-year-old boy, where is the opponent of Lord Shoufu and the prince! ”

"The little one understands!"

Mu Bin's little servant Mu Qing retreated after speaking.

At this time, Wang Yue, the eunuch who held the seal of the celebrant supervisor, was quite elegantly writing big characters on the rice paper, and at the same time listening to Lu He's report on the civil officials going to see His Majesty Zhu Houzhao.

After hearing this, Wang Yue, the eunuch who was in charge of the palm seal, only shook his pen, and smiled with a silver-white face:

"It's really a mountain rain that is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, our emperor caught us off guard, but the more so, the more we can't give up easily, no matter what our emperor wants, once a son of heaven and a courtier, we can't escape a dead word if we don't make the emperor happy, fortunately, we don't have a home, and we can't end up with a punishment of the nine clans, it's nothing more than a few more knives!"

"Why do the ancestors say that, things haven't come to this point yet, whether Zhu Houzhao wants to take power or Liu Jin and others collude with Zhu Houzhao, we haven't lost yet, and even lose is not counted, as long as Zhang Zhao enters the palace with the officers and soldiers, Zhu Houzhao will either kill Liu Jin, or die violently in the palace tonight, we will not still be able to live peacefully! It is nothing more than to make the death of the first emperor come back again. ”

The celebrant Bingbi, the eunuch and the admiral of Dongchang, Lu He said.

"It's not that far, the old man is just talking about the worst situation, the civil officials of the foreign court are waiting for our performance, let's not let them down tonight, lest tomorrow go to the morning court, and it will be difficult for each other to meet!"

As Wang Yue spoke, he instructed Lu He again: "Send someone to keep an eye on Zhu Houzhao!" ”

At this time, he had decided to fight to the death, but he didn't even bother to shout to the emperor.

"I sent it earlier, but Zhu Houzhao has been staying in the house, and there is a guy named Chen Rong outside who has been blocking the door, this person is quite martial arts, as long as someone gets close to Cining Palace, he will kill him!"

Luhe said.

"Guo Rong? Nobody! However, there is a brave loyalty, but I don't know how much money and silver can be worth in these years, but this person is just an ordinary officer, why is he so loyal to Zhu Houzhao, do you say there is any reason for this? ”

Wang Yue couldn't help but think about it when he smiled.

"What do the officers below know, Zhu Houzhao gave him a thousand household officials, and he is naturally loyal!"

Luhe said.

Wang Yue was relieved when he heard this, and said: "When Zhang Zhao comes, ask this Guo Rong again, if he is given to his generals, is he willing to kill Zhu Houzhao." ”
