Chapter 755: Martial Law in the Whole City

readx; The next morning, there were fewer ministers in the upper court, and even the total number of people in the hall and outside the hall was only a hundred. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info discerning people can see it, because the new monarch ascended the throne and the Ke family was expelled from the palace, the forces opposing Wei Zhongxian have seen the light again, and some people have directly impeached Wei Zhongxian at the cost of their lives, just like Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou back then; The eunuchs, on the other hand, are desperately fighting back, trying to strangle all the forces that dare to oppose themselves in the cradle. Therefore, don't look at the solemnity of the court, but it is a battlefield of life and death, but who feels that it has little to do with it, who wants to wade into this pool of troubled waters?

However, at today's court meeting, a person who had never shown up before finally appeared, that is, the eunuch of the eunuch party, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi, and the eunuch Wei Zhongxian of the Admiral Dongchang. It stands to reason that eunuchs do not belong to ministers, and they are not qualified to go to the court to discuss politics, and Wei Zhongxian's superficial work has been done very well before, even in the Apocalypse year, he has never participated in the court meeting. But today he appeared in person, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but feel nervous, and secretly wondered if Wei Zhongxian was going to have a showdown with him?

After the visit, Wei Zhongxian really rushed out of the class, knelt down under His Majesty Dan and cried bitterly: "Long live the lord, the slave is wronged!" ”

Then he cried with a handful of snot and tears, to the effect that he didn't want to be authoritarian, whether it was criticizing red or arresting people in Dongchang, it was all out of the holy will of the first emperor; Therefore, he offended many ministers, especially the remnants of Donglin, who hated him even more, and wanted to put him to death as soon as possible, yesterday's Qian Jiazheng was just one of the pawns. He was loyal to the emperor, but he didn't expect such a result, he was really frightened, and begged Chongzhen to remove him from all his positions and let him return to his hometown, but he was dead.

To say that Wei Zhongxian's acting skills are definitely at the level of an actor, he cried so much that he beat his chest, died and lived, and in the end, he couldn't get up in one breath and fainted. His "Five Tigers", "Five Biao", "Ten Children" and other eunuch minions saw it and hurriedly rushed to the rescue, pinching people and beating them in the chest and back, so it was easy for Wei Zhongxian to slow down.

So the gang knelt down together and cried: "It's really chilling that the factory ministers are loyal to the country but are slandered!" If His Majesty hesitates, the traitor and villain shall not be punished, the grievances of the factory ministers shall not be revealed, and the ministers will all beg to resign and return to the field! ”

Zhu Youzhen, who was on the throne, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, secretly thinking that Wei Zhongxian finally couldn't hold his breath anymore and was going to carry out a crazy counterattack! On the surface, these people want to resign, but in fact, they are retreating and advancing, forcing themselves to comply!

At this moment, Zhu Youzhen really had the heart to shout "willing to do it, not willing to do it", and simply dismissed all these eunuchs; But he also knew that doing so would be tantamount to completely tearing his face with the eunuchs, forcing Wei Zhongxian and himself to a dead end, then only the fish would die! And there are still two days left for the arrival of Qin Bing, and he is now just a bare-bones commander, and if he wants to press Wei Zhongxian, he may really kill the king! …

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen thought about it again and again, but he could only endure himself, and said with a smile: "The factory ministers and the ministers are calm down." You and others are all ministers of the imperial court, and the factory ministers are even more favored by the first emperor, and the first emperor himself said to me, 'It is advisable to appoint loyal and virtuous people', how dare I disobey? The factory ministers did not allow it, but they still held the right to approve the red and the affairs of the East Factory, and the ministers and workers also had to settle down. The factory ministers were aggrieved for my loyalty, and a reward of 10,000 taels of silver was encouraged, and they didn't care about those rumors. ”

Wei Zhongxian was secretly happy when he heard this. Back then, Sun Chengzong, as the emperor and the superintendent of the world's soldiers and horses, wanted to tell the apocalypse to get rid of him. At that time, Wei Zhongxian cried bitterly in front of the Apocalypse, saying that Sun Chengzong was going to kill him when he returned to Beijing, and begged Apocalypse to remove him from his post and return to his hometown in order to save his life. As a result, Tianqi was so soft by his crying that he casually said, "Then let him not come", Wei Zhongxian completely reversed the situation, and in the end, Sun Chengzong lost his official position and resigned, and went home to be a common man.

At this time, the old technique was successful again, Wei Zhongxian had completely settled down, and pretended to cry again: "Although the master trusts the minions, there are rumors outside. There is a saying that 'everyone has gold, and the bones are destroyed', and the minions can't work for the Lord of Long Live with peace of mind! ”

Tian Ji immediately followed up and said: "Your Majesty, this is all done by the remnants of Donglin, if you want to separate Your Majesty and the factory ministers, you must not guard against it!" Like Qian Jiazheng is just a prisoner, how dare he go to the palace to slander? There must be a mastermind behind the scenes, and there may be a rebellion behind it. The minister thought that in order to ensure His Majesty's safety, he should immediately transfer five of the three battalions into the Beijing Division to guard the palace, and at the same time close the nine gates, and strictly investigate the Donglin Yu Party in the city! ”

These words immediately frightened Zhu Youzhen's hands and feet cold, and he thought to himself, could it be that his small actions were noticed by Wei Zhongxian, was he going to use force to hold him hostage?

He knew that the Fifth Army Battalion was the first of the three major battalions, with 72 guards under its jurisdiction, and the full strength of the Mabu Army was 72,000 people, and even if half of them were paid empty salaries, there were at least more than 30,000 troops. And the Qin soldiers are only 30,000 at full, and they are coming from a long distance, so it would be good to be able to dispatch half of the troops. In the case of field warfare, perhaps with bravery, well-trained, and excellent command; But if it is a siege battle, it is almost an impossible task to solve it quickly!

But now there is a lot of clamoring in the Qianqing Palace, and all the eunuch ministers echo in unison, demanding that the five military camps be transferred into the city. Zhu Youzhen knew that if he didn't agree, he was afraid that it was unknown whether he could get out of the Qianqing Palace, so he had to nod his head and agree.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, if the eunuchs had obtained a treasure, they immediately held Zhu Youzhen's holy decree and went to the five military camps outside the city to announce the decree. He also urgently mobilized the soldiers and horses of the five cities to impose martial law in the whole city, in fact, it was to firmly monitor the Forbidden City, the Xinwang Mansion and the ministers who were not eunuchs. For a while, there was a lot of noise, which scared the people to close their doors.

The British public Zhang Weixian had no choice but to go home sullenly. Although he is a hereditary duke after the lord, he does not have any official position or power, and of course he cannot go toe-to-toe with Wei Zhongxian. As soon as he entered the house, he locked himself in the study, walked around irritably, and took off the sword hanging on the wall and wiped it repeatedly, but at last he could only sigh long.

Suddenly, a person behind him said unhurriedly: "The British public sword is in hand, why sigh?" ”

Zhang Weixian's surprise was not trivial, he suddenly turned around, and saw a person sneaking into his study without knowing when, so he smiled at himself all the time!

But after he was worthy of being a military general, he had a good martial arts, and his reaction was also extremely fast, and he immediately put his long sword against the man's throat, and asked sharply: "Who are you?" Dare to sneak into this public study, what do you want? Recruit from the truth, otherwise you will be hit by the head immediately! ”

The man was not afraid, but solemnly said: "The British public Zhang Weixian takes the order!" ”

Then he took out something from his bosom and handed it respectfully with both hands. Zhang Weixian took it and unfolded it for some reason, but he trembled with excitement and choked up: "This is... Your Majesty's Blood Book! ”
