Zhu Hou looked at the officers and soldiers behind him and smiled slightly: "Very good, you are worthy of being my loyal and brave man!" However, just tonight, the eunuch Wang Yue and others actually intended to rebel! I want you to let me die violently tonight, Liu Jin, you tell them why I recruited them into the palace tonight! ”

Therefore, Liu Jin loudly told the officers and soldiers present the reason why Zhang Zhao had been dismissed and why he suddenly falsely spread the decree in an attempt to provoke them to make trouble.

The officers and soldiers present were all full of horror, and even a little afraid, after all, rebellion was something they couldn't even think of, especially now that Lu Mi had been distributed, they didn't want to accompany Da Jue in the palace to do a business that might lose their lives.

Therefore, these officers and soldiers looked at Wang Yue and the others with more hatred at this moment.

Zhu Houzhao saw these officers and soldiers like this, and he felt a lot more relaxed, because this showed that he, the Ming Emperor and the Ming Dynasty, still won the hearts of the people and the army, at least most people did not want to and did not dare to rebel.

Zhu Houzhao was determined to take advantage of this to make these officers and soldiers further realize whose soldiers and horses they were, so he asked loudly: "Tell me if you are my soldiers!" Isn't it the army of my Ming Dynasty! ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

All the officers and soldiers shouted.

Zhu Houzhao pressed his hand, and the well-trained officers and soldiers all stopped shouting, and at this time, Zhang Zhao cried instead: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life!" ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't say much, and saw that the closest to him was Xia Ming, the commander of the capital, so he ordered: "Take your officers and soldiers to arrest all the traitors, and temporarily detain them in the barracks of your department. ”

"The last will obey!"

This commander named Xia Ming hurriedly took his own people to escort Wang Yue, Lu He and others down,

Zhu Houzhao naturally couldn't wait for the Jinyi Guards to come to the guard, and he also had to reorganize the Jinyi Guard, seeing that Zhang Jie, the Marquis of Taiping, was also in his nearest position, he ordered: "Zhang Jie, take your officers and soldiers to immediately surround the Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi and the Imperial Prison, and at the same time, the Jinyi Guards will command the Mu Bin Mansion!" ”

"Wechen obeys!"

Zhang Jie, the Marquis of Taiping, also left the Forbidden City immediately with a group of officers and soldiers.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao walked to Xu Jin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Zhang Mao, the British public: "From now on, the capital will be under full martial law!" Within three days, the people are not allowed to go out of the city! The regimental and battalion armies will be mobilized by you, and if you do not comply, you will not be forgiven! ”

Xu Jin, the secretary of the military department, and Zhang Mao, the British minister, were also busy receiving the order.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhang Yong at this time: "All the forbidden soldiers are on duty, and they are arranged in the palace forbidden, and you will dispatch them uniformly!" ”

"Slave obeys!"

Zhang Yong hurriedly accepted the order, and immediately mobilized the forbidden soldiers and began to buy soldiers and horses from the Qianqing Palace to the Duanmen.

After speaking, Zhu Houzhao looked at Guo Rong again: "Come here!" ”

Guo Rong hurriedly ran over: "What does Your Majesty command?" ”

"From now on, you will be promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, take charge of the affairs of the town, go and gather the officers and soldiers when you were originally a hundred households, and then wait outside the noon gate, and I will let someone give you an edict later, and you will take the edict to take over the Jinyi Guard's edict!" At the same time, at the end of tomorrow, you will come to the Qianqing Palace to see me alone! ”

Guo Rong was also busy receiving the order, and at the same time he was very surprised and surprised, thinking that following His Majesty is to be promoted quickly, and the official of his thousand households has not been in office for half a day, and in a blink of an eye, he has become the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he is in charge of the affairs of the Fu Division, this is a very powerful official!

Then, Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jin, Gu Dayong, Ma Yongcheng, Gao Feng, and Wei Bin: "Now that you still have Zhang Yong and Qiu Ju, you should know what caused this incident today, and who saved your life!" ”

"Slaves and maids understand! It was the rebel thief Wang Yue and others who wanted our lives, it was the emperor who saved our lives, without the emperor, we are nothing! I've even seen Lord Yama for a long time! The lives of the slaves and maids are the emperor's! ”

Liu Jin and the others knew that everything had developed to this point from beginning to end because Zhu Houzhao wanted to protect them, otherwise Zhu Houzhao could have chosen to kill them and keep them safe, and now they naturally were grateful to Zhu Houzhao, and at the same time they were all relieved.

"It's good to understand, follow me to the celebrant!"

After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, he took Liu Jin and the others to the celebrant prison.

Liu Jin and the others all knew that Zhu Houzhao was going to give them a promotion, and their faces were full of excitement.

At this time, the celebrant was already empty, and there was only one eunuch who was still copying the cabinet votes, and as soon as Zhu Houzhao came in, the eunuch hurriedly knelt down: "Slave Chu Ke to the emperor to say goodbye!" ”

Zhu Houzhao saw that he was the only one in the entire celebrant who did not follow Wang Yue to force the palace, and when the situation in the inner court was changing, he could still sit here indifferently and do his own thing, even if he didn't really deal with things indifferently, he could be regarded as a relatively honest and reliable person.

So, Zhu Houzhao directly ordered: "From now on, you are the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, and now it is up to you to draw up the decree, with Liu Jin as the celebrant and eunuch of the celebrant and the seal of the eunuch, Ma Yong as the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor and the eunuch of the East Factory, Gu Dayong as the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch and the eunuch of the West Factory, Gao Feng as the eunuch of the imperial horse and the eunuch of the imperial horse and the eunuch of the imperial palace, and Qiu Ju as the eunuch of the internal officials!" Luo Xiang is the eunuch of Shangbaodu! ”

After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, Liu Jin and the others hurriedly received the order and thanked him.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao yawned: "Get up, everyone is busy with their own going, Ma Yongcheng will first go to control the East Factory, and then go to confiscate Wang Yue's home outside the palace, Gu Dayong will take your people to directly set up the West Factory, and first go to copy Lu He's home outside the palace, Gao Feng, you will also go to the Siwei Camp to transfer a group of people to copy Zhang Zhao's home outside the palace!" ”

Saying that, Zhu Houzhao said again: "Liu Jin will accompany me back first, and later you will also take my will to lead all the soldiers and horses to clean the remnants of the rebel party of Wang Yue of the Inner Court!" From now on, I will hand over the inner court to you, and if you dare to be disloyal to me in the slightest, I will not spare you! ”

Liu Jin and the others hurriedly said that they didn't dare, and they all didn't dare to look at Zhu Houzhao anymore, I don't know when they began to be more and more afraid of Zhu Houzhao.

Towards the second half of the night, the cold night was so silent that no sound could be heard.

Zhu Houzhao also returned to Cining Palace, and only stretched out his hand: "I want to bathe!" ”

Even though there was a personal female official who was waiting for Empress Dowager Zhang, the name of Ruyi came over and took off Zhu Houzhao's robe, and began to pass on: "Hurry up and boil water!" The emperor wants to bathe! ”

Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help asking, "Is the queen mother already asleep?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, the queen mother has been asleep for a long time", Ruyi replied.

Zhu Houzhao didn't say anything after hearing this, only to hear the sound of footsteps outside again, and Liu Jin and the others had already begun to clean the inner court, and couldn't help laughing: "Remember to call me later, from dawn, I am the real master of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
