readx; It wasn't until the fourth watch that Yan Ling, who pretended to be the sixth son, quietly returned to the Wenhua Palace. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Zhu Youzhen's heart finally let go of half of his heart after hanging all night, and he urgently asked how a few things were done.

Yan Ling hurriedly reported: Xinwang Mansion and Xiaoyao Bo Mansion have been arranged. Although Dongchang and Jinyiwei arranged a lot of sentry agents nearby, with Yan Ling's skills, how could they be discovered. Now the 200 special combat personnel are ready for battle, and they can act at any time as long as they give an order.

Zhou Kui, the free uncle, is also preparing to go to the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division early tomorrow morning to inspect, he is a legitimate commander and the emperor's father-in-law, and the other military attaches there naturally dare not offend. As for whether this force can be controlled in just two or three days, we can only take one step at a time.

And the British Mansion that Zhu Youzhen was most concerned about, Yan Ling lurked there for two hours. The British public Zhang Weixian has been locking himself in the study, although Yan Ling can't enter the room, but through the tall figure projected on the window lattice, it can also be judged that Zhang Weixian has been pacing back and forth in the study, obviously preoccupied.

Zhu Youzhen listened and muttered for a long time, but he still couldn't completely rest assured of Zhang Weixian. Because of Zhang Weixian's status as a hereditary duke, perhaps Wei Zhongxian did not dare to move him easily; He reprimanded the Hakka family in person, and it could also be seen that he was very dissatisfied with Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family. But now the big thing he wants him to do is equivalent to a military coup, once it fails, the whole clan will be crushed, does Zhang Weixian have the guts? So emotionally, Zhu Youzhen is very willing to believe in the successive ministers recommended by the queen; But to entrust the heavy responsibility, you need to be cautious!

Soon it was the time of the early dynasty, and Zhu Youzhen had to drive the Qing Palace. But as soon as he entered the Qianqing door, he felt that the atmosphere was different. Officials below the fourth rank who usually wait for the announcement in the square outside the Qianqing Palace, don't care if there is anything to do, there are always hundreds of people. But today, there are only a few hundred or so people, and most of them are also hunched and necked, like turtles that want to shrink themselves into their shells to protect.

A few appeared restless, pacing back and forth, as if waiting for something big to happen. Among them, Lu Chengyuan, the director of the Ministry of Works, who had been urging the Hakka out of the palace two days ago, saw Zhu Youzhen's Luan driving coming, he kowtowed harder than others, and his forehead was knocked on the hard white marble bricks, obviously extremely excited.

"Hey, what are you doing so hard? Don't break your head. Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but laugh.

Lu Chengyuan saw that Zhu Youzhen deliberately stopped talking to himself, and he was even more moved to bow down again and again, and choked up: "The minister dares not to smear His Majesty's liver and brain!" ”

Zhu Youzhen was suddenly surprised, why did Lu Chengyuan seem to be going to the execution ground with such energy?

After entering the hall and ascending to the seat, dozens of officials above the fourth rank rushed in and lined up in two compartments. Zhu Youzhen patiently waited for them to kneel three times and knock nine times, and after the mountain shouted long live, he asked Shoufu Huang Liji: "Why are so few people coming to the court today?" ”

This was just a casual question, but Huang Liji's face was extremely unnatural, and he said in a smug voice: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know much, maybe... Maybe I'm sick..."

"Sick? Are hundreds of people sick at the same time? Zhu Youzhen smiled, "Could it be that there is an epidemic of plague in Beijing?" ”

Huang Liji smiled awkwardly, but retreated to the class and lowered his head, it seemed that he was going to pretend to be deaf and dumb today.

Zhu Youzhen was wondering, why didn't several ministers even report those irrelevant etiquette and other things? Suddenly, someone among the ministers outside the palace shouted: "The ministers gave Chen Eryi in the matter, impeached Yang for his ignorance and rebellion, and framed important ministers, and the day before yesterday, it was really Donglin's remnants who wanted to overturn the case, please Your Majesty to investigate!" ”

Immediately afterwards, he strode into the Qianqing Palace, and recited the recital in a low tone. Although the rhetoric is gorgeous, the central idea is very simple: Cui Chengxiu and others were the first emperors to regain their affection, and they are all great loyal ministers. Yang Suoxiu's attack on Cui Chengxiu is to attack Wei Zhongxian, and he wants to overturn the case for the Donglin Party. However, Yang Suoxiu himself was ignorant and shallow, and he must have been impeached at the instigation of others, so he must strictly investigate the remnants of Donglin and maintain the glorious image of Wei Zhongxian.

Zhu Youzhen pretended to listen carefully, and his heart was like a mirror. Chen Eryi's previous recitals have also been seen, and this person is the same as Yang Suoxiu, who is a little minion in the eunuch party. The day before yesterday, Yang Suoxiu's impeachment of Cui Chengxiu on the grounds of "Ding Worry" was a temptation, and today Chen Eryi is also a temptation. It's just that Chen Eryi is more direct, even bordering on hysteria.

If Chen Eryi is refuted, it means that he sympathizes with the Donglin Party, and the Eunuch Party will be immediately alert, and his disguise these days will be in vain; If you agree with Chen Eryi, not only will the position of Cui Chengxiu and others be consolidated, but the eunuch party will use this as an excuse to attack dissidents again, which is really a vicious treacherous scheme.

And Chen Eryi and Yang Suoxiu are just pawns of the eunuch party, and it doesn't matter who loses their official position and resigns for this matter; Wei Zhongxian hid behind the scenes and controlled it remotely, attacking and retreating.

After figuring out this section, Zhu Youzhen already had an idea. After Chen Eryi finished reading the recital, he pretended to be impatient and said: "I don't know what the Donglin Party is, didn't these things have been dealt with when the first emperor was there?" Harmony between ministers is precious, Chen Eryi and Yang Xiu, you two don't have to do any more trouble, I don't want to delve into it, retreat! ”

When Zhu Youzhen said this, all the eunuchs present breathed a sigh of relief. Since the Hakka were expelled from the Forbidden City yesterday, many people have keenly smelled a hint of danger. The eunuch party was not a monolith, but a hodgepodge that was temporarily put together for the sake of interests, and clinging to Wei Zhongxian was just for their respective promotions and fortunes.

And yesterday, the Hakka family was suddenly expelled, everyone knows that the Hakka family and Wei Zhongxian are the same thing, and these people can't help but wonder in their hearts: Chongzhen's hand, is it a signal to move Wei Zhongxian? One is long live, the other is 9,000 years old, these two people are really going to die, who can win?

Therefore, many ministers, who were originally grassy in the wall, immediately and wisely chose not to go to the court, intending to stay out of the matter and see the situation clearly. The other part of Wei Zhongxian's sworn friends want to test Chongzhen again, if they really want to be unfavorable to Wei Zhongxian, they will fight back desperately.

But Zhu Youzhen neither punished Yang Suoxiu nor reprimanded Chen Eryi, and Cui Chengxiu and Wei Zhongxian were not affected. Only then did the people in the eunuch party put their minds at ease, secretly thinking that the expulsion of the Hakka clan yesterday might just be accidental, the emperor was obviously a good old man with mud, and Wei Zhongxian could still do whatever he wanted.

After Chen Eryi retreated, Zhu Youzhen also breathed a sigh of relief. Qin Bing was only a few days away, and he didn't want to expose his intentions in advance, causing extraneous trouble.

Seeing that the other ministers had nothing serious to report, Zhu Youzhen was just about to retire from the court, when he suddenly heard a big chaos outside the palace, and a high-pitched voice was mixed with the chaotic shouting and scolding: "The tiger and wolf are in front, and no one dares to resist the princes in the court!" Although I am a civilian, I am willing to die with him, although I have no regrets! ”
