Chapter 50: The Emperor's Schemes
The fierce words made Jiang Wei tremble, he might want to open his eyes, but his body wouldn't allow him to open his eyes.
Seeing that such a statement was effective, I don't know why Zhang Ru was relieved, he wiped the dense beads of sweat on his head, sighed lightly, and walked out.
The sky has brightened slightly, and after a day and a night of confrontation, it is time for this farce to have a result.
Unconsciously, there were already a lot of people on the Jinyi Wei side, and hundreds of people in the East Division, including Mu Bin, surrounded the gate of Yuqing Palace.
Seeing that his own adults walked out, Jin Yiwei automatically got out of the way, and Fan Tong followed closely by Zhang Ru's side with great interest, so that he could use his flesh and blood to block the dark arrow for Zhang Ru at the critical moment.
"Let go." Zhang Ru stepped forward and said coldly.
The thin man was so frightened by such a big battle that he was in a cold sweat, as early as last night, he sent someone out on the pretext of sending someone to inform Wantong, but until now, Wantong has not reacted at all.
"My lord, forgive me, without the order of ten thousand adults, I will forgive my fate." At this point, the thin man could only step forward and reply.
Zhang Ru's eyes narrowed slightly, his five fingers suddenly opened, and there was a crackling sound between the bone knots, and the sound was not broken, and others had already rushed out.
The embroidered spring knife hanging on his waist was never unsheathed, obviously, the thin man in front of him was not in his eyes, Fan Tong followed him like a shadow, and the iron beans clasped in his palm shot out, instantly drilling into the eyebrows of the two crossbowmen who wanted to pull the trigger.
With Zhang Ru charging in front, Mu Bin was naturally not far behind, and after shouting, he took the Jinyi guards under his command and began to storm Yuqing Palace.
Yuqing Palace is not small, but compared to other palaces, it is not big. It turned out that there were about 800 princes' guards in Yuqing Palace, but now they have been replaced by Wantong, and the former brocade guards guarding Yuqing Palace are only 400.
The number of the two sides is about the same, but compared with the two, it is the current Jinyi guards who are more powerful, not to mention that those former Jinyi guards have lost their former sharpness under the leadership of Wantong. The body's reflexes can't keep up, and the combat power naturally can't keep up.
Fan Tong is like a tiger, picking on those big opponents, and with one punch, there are basically few who can stand up. Zhang Ru is relatively gentle, but his opponent is three points worse than Fan Tong's opponent. This little flag master of the East Sifang is not as powerful as Fan Tong's strength, but every move is extremely tricky, and he often floats over lightly, and the opponent behind him either has a broken hand or a broken foot.
The people in the east room are attacking like crazy, and the defenders don't dare to kill them, and they can't sit still, and if they resist a little, they will only be beaten to death by those people. The leader of the thin man kept calling, but he still couldn't stop the others from retreating into the interior of Yuqing Palace. Everyone is flesh and blood, but they don't want to put their lives into it because of this.
Dong Sifang Jinyiwei, who had been angry a lot during this time, didn't care so much, he worked hard and didn't do it with all his might, no matter where those people ran, they followed closely.
For a time, the solemn Yuqing Palace was full of chickens and dogs, and its majesty was lost.
The defeated soldiers had no choice but to go to the prince's bedroom to seek protection, and a swarm of bees rushed over, so frightened that the prince Zhu Youzhu held a long sword, thinking that these people were going to kill him.
When the long sword pierced into the chest of the third person, those former Jinyi guards under Wantong came back to their senses, and their feelings were that they would die in the past and die in the future.
After having nowhere to go completely, I don't know who threw the blade to the ground and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
This kneeling down immediately caused others to follow suit, the murderous current Jinyi Wei is not a joke, and their seniors dare not be presumptuous anymore.
When Zhu Youzhu saw that familiar face and saw that resolute expression, the long sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, tears poured out of his eyes, and the person almost collapsed to the ground.
These days, he is under tremendous pressure, almost to the point where he can't eat or sleep. Now that the long-awaited savior really appeared, his body that had been holding on for more than ten days finally couldn't hold on.
Fortunately, there was a loyal Qin Ji by his side who hugged him in time, otherwise if he really collapsed on the ground, crying bitterly, I was afraid that this joke would be big.
Zhang Ru walked over and patted Zhu Youzhu's shoulder vigorously: "This time has made you suffer, don't worry, my brother is back, no one can hurt you." ”
Zhu Youzhu choked up and couldn't say a word, just nodded incessantly.
Zhang Ru turned his face to Qin Ji and instructed: "Wife, I bother you to take the prince down to rest first, I have worked hard for you during this time." I'll take care of the matter here, and it'll be fine. ”
Because Zhu Youzhu is used to calling Qin Ji's wife, Zhang Ru also calls his wife. Qin Ji didn't think it was anything, but thought it was a very affectionate title.
After helping Zhu Youzhu to leave, Qin Ji looked back at Zhang Ru deeply, that glance was full of deep meaning, as for whether Zhang Ru could read it, he didn't know.
There was no one else in the dormitory, except for Zhang Ru's Jinyi Guard, only Wantong's men remained, and he kicked the leg of the only thin man standing, forcing him to kneel before bringing his angular face closer: "Your wrong decision is enough to make you regret it for the rest of your life." ”
As he spoke, he slowly pulled out the embroidered spring knife on his waist.
The thin man is not the first evil, but he is the accomplice who led these former Jinyi guards to surround Yuqing Palace, and he pulled out his knife not to kill the thin man, but just to exert pressure and let the thin man tell the mastermind behind the scenes. Who would have thought that the thin man's eyes were staring at Zhang Ru's embroidered spring knife, his body was trembling, but he didn't mean to open his mouth at all.
When the knife was halfway drawn, Zhang Ru returned the knife into the sheath, stood up and said condescensively: "Being regarded as an outcast, and you have to abide by the so-called loyalty in your partiality, I really don't know whether to say that you are pitiful or pathetic." ”
The thin man pursed his lips and refused to say anything, his fingernails had pierced his palms.
Zhang Ru said to himself again: "Surrounding the Prince's East Palace, this is something that has never happened in the history of my Ming Dynasty, when I report to Your Majesty, even if you refuse to recruit someone to find out who is the mastermind behind the scenes, you don't want to live." It is not a pity for you to die, but you have pity on your family, but you will suffer with you. When you agreed to do this, didn't you think that this was a major event to destroy the family? ”
Seeing that the other party was still dead, Zhang Ru didn't bother to waste his lips and tongue, beckoned Mu Bin to come over, and said in front of the thin man: "Take someone to control his family first, as long as there is anyone who dares to resist, kill him." As for these people, all of them are tightened in brocade clothes, and whoever dares to intercede is the mastermind behind the scenes. All the big and small officials in the capital stared at me to death, and there were not enough people to find a commander to ask for it. I don't believe it, such a big Shuntian Mansion, so many people, Lao Tzu can't find a single one who knows the truth. ”
These words made the thin man completely out of proportion, he hugged Zhang Ru's legs, and said without hesitation: "How can you let my family go?" ”
Zhang Ru said lightly: "Simple, admit the mastermind behind the scenes, I will naturally keep your family." ”
The thin man hesitated, the mastermind behind this scene is not an ordinary person, even if it is Zhang Ru, it may not be comparable to the power of this person. If you say it, your whole family will die, and if you don't say it, your whole family will also die, which puts the thin man in a dilemma.
"If you don't want to say it, let go of your hand, this official doesn't have time to waste time with you." Zhang Ru shook the leg that was hugged by the thin man.
The thin man said: "My lord, forgive me, the sin will be said to be death, and if you don't say it, it will be death, you are trying to force me to death!" ”
Zhang Ru shouted: "Fart, I didn't let you take those useless guys to surround the East Palace, and I didn't let you be disrespectful to the prince." All of this is your own doing! If you feel lonely on the Huangquan Road, tell the mastermind behind the scenes, others dare not kill, but it doesn't mean that I dare not kill! ”
The thin man seemed to have seen everything through, and sneered at each other: "I'm afraid that person is something that your bold Lord Zhang doesn't dare to touch." ”
"In this Ming Dynasty, there are really few people I dare not move." Zhang Ru said confidently.
Of course, there is no lack of boasting in these words, you must know that the supervision of the Ming Dynasty is not something that ordinary people can move. If it weren't for the fact that he had the title of a nine-sided patrol general on his head, and happened to catch the evidence of the crimes of the governor of Shanxi and the prefect of Datong, it would not be so easy to pull down the governor of a province.
"The general is a human being, and the crime will already be known, but no matter how big the general is, can he still be bigger than His Majesty today in Daming? If Your Majesty is behind all this, how will you be? The thin man had a contemptuous smile on his lips.
Zhang Ru grabbed the thin man's clothes: "You fart, how can Your Majesty let people surround the prince's East Palace?" ”
All signs have long shown that everything behind this is not something that people at the level of Wantong can control at all, so Zhang Ru has long known that Wantong is not the mastermind behind the scenes. But he didn't expect that the mastermind behind this scene turned out to be Zhu Youzhang's father-Zhu Jianshen!
Could it be that the emperor is really stupid to take pills? When it's coming, you actually came up with such a ridiculous idea as a pit son?
The stakes are very high, there are too many people present, Zhang Ru is not good at attacking, and after people plug the thin man's mouth, Tie Qing walked out of Yuqing Palace with a blue face.
If all this was made by the emperor, then why the emperor and Jinyiwei did not react at all after the East Palace was controlled by Wantong's people can be explained. At the same time, if everything is as the thin man said, all this is worth thinking about again.
Obviously, this time the emperor made such a big move, not against the maturing prince, but at himself, the general of the nine-sided inspection.
Zhang Ru, who was heavy-hearted, walked all the way, I don't know how long he walked, Fan Tong called him several times and he didn't hear him, until he bumped into a person head-on, and then pulled him back to reality from his thoughts.
