"What did Chitose say?" Yang Huan hurriedly asked.

"Nine thousand years old said, the new emperor wants to stretch the butcher's knife to our head at this time, if he doesn't resist, it is inevitable that he will die, while he has just ascended the throne and the foundation is unstable, another new emperor is the way out for us."

Many of the members of the eunuch party have retreated, although they are a party, but the rebellion is not a trivial matter, in case of unsuccessful, all over the house, they will be executed by Ling Chi, the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than 200 years, and there has only been a change to seize the door, but at that time the Emperor Daizong was about to die, there were no heirs, there was a success of the change of seizing the door, at this time the new emperor was the first emperor's edict to stand in person, if it is nonsense to depose, then it will be a fusion of the court, the world is in chaos, no one wants to bear the blame.

Cui Chengxiu took a deep breath and said, "This is really what the nine thousand years old said, what evidence do you have?" Sure enough, as Zhu Youjian expected, Cui Chengxiu was very cautious about such a major event.

Liu Tong didn't have to prepare first, he was determined, and took out Wei Zhongxian's seal letter from his arms, Cui Chengxiu took the seal letter, looked at it again and again, and said: "It seems that the emperor really wants our heads to be powerful, I am willing to obey the will of nine thousand years old, if any of you disagree, you can leave now." ”

As soon as Cui Chengxiu said this, the officials who were not core members of the eunuch party retreated, and an official from the Taifu Temple walked out and said: "For such a major event, Jiuqiansui and Cui Shangshu don't need to go down to the officials, and the officials are not talented enough, so I am afraid that I will ruin the plan of the nine thousand years old and Cui Shangshu, so I still don't participate." ”

Cui Chengxiu shouted: "Come on, take it for me." ”

The guards outside the door immediately stepped forward to suppress the official.

The official said in a panic: "Cui Shangshu, what do you mean?" ”

"Do you think we can tolerate you when you are in danger of capsizing on our ship, and you are going to abandon it? Take him down so that he may serve. ”

When the official saw Cui Chengxiu like this, he didn't care about the reason of superiority and inferiority, and scolded: "Cui Chengxiu, do you know that this is a rebellion, how should the history books of future generations write about me, don't be cheeky, I still want your grandfather, let me go, let me go." The voice was getting farther and farther away, and the eunuch members who wanted to retreat didn't dare to say anything when they saw the fate of this official?

"Father-in-law, what do you command?"

"Nine thousand years old said, today let you convene the deputy general of Jingwei Zhongxin to talk about this matter, two days later, close the nine gates, storm the palace, nine thousand years old in the palace to convene the military supervisor, the inside and outside should be together, the palace will be broken, the emperor will be deposed, a new emperor will be established, and Kuang Fu Sheji." The more Liu Tong spoke, the smoother he became, and it didn't seem like he was lying at all.

Cui Chengxiu sighed and looked at everyone: "Everyone has heard, this is the meaning of Chitose, I believe that all my colleagues here have more or less received the grace of Chitose, at this time the new emperor does not take us to heart, and wants to kill us, and has established the monarchy, but we are not waiting for the lamb to be slaughtered, the first emperor's bones are not cold, he wants to kill us humerus ministers, he really does not deserve the throne, but this matter is important, Cui has to act cautiously, the best way is not to return to the house, wait until the big thing has been decided, and then let everyone go, But tomorrow is the big court meeting, if everyone is absent, the emperor must be suspicious, lest there be changes, I bring a piece of paper, please write your name, so that if the incident happens, no one can escape, everything is fine. Cui Chengxiu, who is smart, actually made a move at this critical juncture.

After Cui Chengxiu finished saying this, his own subordinates took out the good rice paper, and Cui Chengxiu wrote on it: The emperor has no way, and a new emperor is established. Eight big characters, and wrote their names below, and then Yang Huan and other core members wrote their names without hesitation, and those peripheral members of the eunuch party were more or less hesitant, but they could see dozens of Wei Zhongxian's guards standing at the door of the lobby, thinking about the fate of the person just now, and in desperation, they could only write their names.

After everyone wrote it, Cui Chengxiu said softly: "Everyone, as soon as this name is written, we are people on the same road, and there is no way back. ”

Everyone bowed down and said, "Obey the dispatch of the nine thousand years old." ”

Cui Chengxiu let these ministers stay in his mansion and consulted with Yang Huan and others on how to behave.

The first is to convene the trustworthy Jingwei generals, a few people and discussed for more than half an hour, before finalizing the four people, Liu Yutong, the deputy general of Beicheng, Zhang Zhongguo, Lou Ji, the guard of Deshengmen, and Wang Mingshun, the deputy general of Xicheng, these four people are Wei Zhongxian's diehards, and have received great favor from the eunuchs, think about it, these four people are credible, although many generals in Jingwei are Wei Zhongxian's cronies, but Cui Chengxiu can't trust them, if I let them guard the door and not let the three battalions outside the city enter Beijing, it's okay, But if they were to attack the Ouchi Palace, such an unhindered rebellion, they would not dare.

Cui Chengxiu sent the mansion to go out to inform the four of them to come to the mansion to narrate, Liu Tong watched Cui Chengxiu arrange everything properly, then got up and said: "Cui Shangshu, the little one has to go back to the palace to report to the nine thousand years old, so I will go back first." ”

"Wait, my father-in-law is extremely tired, I will rest in the house today, and it will not be too late to return to the palace tomorrow." Cui Chengxiu said that he couldn't be cautious about such a big matter, in case Liu Tong privately told the truth for the sake of power, then his people's lives would not be saved, but Cui Chengxiu didn't know that it was because of the power Liu Tong that he came to Cui's mansion.

Liu informed that a large number of Jinyi guards would surround Cui's Mansion tonight, and these people would inevitably die, and of course he didn't want to stay in this place of right and wrong.

"But the eunuchs are not allowed to leave the palace at this time in the palace, and the small ones also come out by the secret passage, in broad daylight, and the small ones are afraid of being discovered by others."

"Then go back to the palace after the matter, the father-in-law doesn't need to say much, come and take the father-in-law down to rest, serve some wine and food, and treat the father-in-law well" Cui Chengxiu said firmly, after listening to Cui Chengxiu's words, his own subordinates came to lead Liu Tong down to rest.

Liu Tong knew that if he was shirking, it would definitely arouse Cui Chengxiu's suspicions, and for the sake of his rights, he decided to believe Zhu Youzhen once.

Cao Wenzhao, who secretly entered the city, also arrived at the Heart Cultivation Palace.

The planning in the Heart Cultivation Hall can begin.

"I got a secret report that someone is going to rebel."

After listening to Zhu Youzhen's words, the faces of the three people changed greatly.

Tian Ergeng replied: "Your Majesty, the vassal king is as usual, although there are some disasters in various places, but no one raises the flag to rebel, and the minister doesn't understand what the emperor means?" ”

"It's not the vassal king, it's not the people of Li, it's Cui Chengxiu who wants my head, it's Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the military department, who wants my head, at this time Cui Chengxiu planned in the mansion and decided to storm the Ouchi, abolish me, and set up a new emperor." After listening to Zhu Youzhen's words, Tian Ergeng's face changed greatly, and he understood why Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao both came to the Heart Cultivation Palace, it turned out that the emperor wanted to attack Cui Chengxiu.

After Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao glanced at each other, Cao Wenzhao came out and said: "Your Majesty, you only need to give the minister 500 elite soldiers, and the minister will send Cui Chengxiu's head to the emperor tonight." ”

"You are a foreign general, it is not appropriate to ask about this matter, it is the governor of Tian Du who needs to make a move, you are the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and this matter will be handed over to you, Wang Chengen, announce the decree."

Wang Chengen hurriedly picked up the holy decree from the dragon case.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor summoned and said, Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the military department, was favored by the first emperor, but the wolf was ambitious, with the henchmen, with bad intentions, so that the Jinyi guard commanded Tian Ergeng to be arrested, and the left attendant of the military department, Hong Chengchou, led a thousand forbidden troops to assist the Jinyi guard, and Cao Wenzhao, the chief officer of the three major battalions, sent 20,000 soldiers into the city to be strictly prohibited. Chin this. “

Hong Chengchou and Cao Wenzhao hurriedly said: "The ministers are in order." Tian Ergeng was in a state of confusion.

"Tian Ergeng, you still don't get the order." Wang Chengen said loudly.

This voice relieved Tian Ergeng, and he said a word of command in desperation.

Zhu Youzhen looked at Tian Ergeng in his current state, and said softly: "Governor Tian, my safety is in your hands, of course, it is not safe in this capital division tonight, I am afraid that you will worry about your family, so I have ordered Luo Yangxing to lead the army to surround your mansion, so that Tian Dudu has no worries." “
