After another few minutes, the Queen Mother Yang Shufei, Su Liuyi, the official secretary in charge of the palace, and others arrived one after another.

Seeing the scattered corpses in Zhao Dongting's bedroom, everyone's faces changed slightly.

Su Liuyi was in charge of the front division of the palace and the guards and pro-army, looking at the corpses of the guards on the ground, he thought that someone had assassinated him, and pretended to be afraid and said to Zhao Dongting: "Your Majesty, there is a thief assassinating?"

"yes!"

In the confusion of the room full of people, Zhao Dongting sneered, "But the ones who assassinate me are these of my guards!"

When Su Liuyi heard this, he was really frightened, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The minister is not in good control, and the crime deserves death, please give the queen mother and the emperor the sin." ”

He was a smart man who immediately admitted his mistakes.

Zhang Shijie, the deputy privy envoy, said beside him: "Even the guards and pro-army have become traitors, where is the safety of the queen mother and the emperor?"

Zhang Shijie is also a celebrity in the late Southern Song Dynasty, with a high official position, but this person is a little like to pat on the back.

Su Liuyi was afraid that he hated him to death, but it was not easy to argue at this time, he just kowtowed, "The minister is dead!"

Then, several more generals knelt down.

These generals are undoubtedly the commanders of the palace or the guards and pro-army.

Yang Shufei's face was calm, and she just asked, "?g'er, what's going on?"

Zhao Dongting slowly told the story in front of all the ministers, including the two little eunuchs who wanted to poison him with roast chicken.

After speaking, his eyes swept over everyone and said, "I don't know who Lord Yang Wanli, the deputy minister of the guard infantry, is?"

Among the kneeling generals, a stout man with a dark face raised his head, "The last general is here!"

His face didn't look flustered.

Zhao Dongting was secretly surprised by this person's composure in his heart, and then said, "Yang Wanli, don't you want to explain something to me?"

The people present all noticed some signs and looked at Yang Wanli one after another.

Yang Wanli lowered his head, and his voice was muffled, "The last general doesn't understand what the emperor means, and I ask the emperor to make it clear." ”

"Huh!"

Zhao Dongting looked at Imperial Physician An and the little eunuch, "Imperial Physician An, and you, now that Lord Yang says he doesn't know, what do you two have to say?"

The little eunuch was already dead, and he couldn't speak at all at this time.

Imperial Physician An sighed and said, "Lord Yang, the matter has come to this point, let's confess! ”

"You slander!"

Yang Wanli raised his head suddenly, his eyes glaring like copper bells, "I have no grudge against you, why do you harm me?"

Zhao Dongting was not in a hurry, walked up to the little eunuch, patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "Did Yang Wanli let you poison me in the roast chicken?"

The little eunuch's psychological defense line had already collapsed, so he just nodded, "Yes!"

There were two people who testified, and everyone could naturally see that Yang Wanli must have nothing to do with this matter.

Su Liuyi instantly jumped like thunder, and suddenly got up and kicked Yang Wanli to the ground, "You disloyal and unfilial thief, I'll kill you now!"

His voice was strong, but his appearance was not very intimidating.

Most of the senior commanders in charge of the army in the Southern Song Dynasty were civil ministers, and Su Liuyi was one of them. He wore an official hat with two long wings on his head, and he looked more like an old master.

"Slow!"

Zhao Dongting naturally would not let Su Liuyi kill Yang Wanli.

Maybe there are big fish behind you, if Yang Wanli dies, how can you catch the big fish behind?

He stopped Su Liuyi and shouted and asked, "Yang Wanli, I ask you, what other comrades do you have?"

At this moment, a general who was kneeling on the ground suddenly spoke.

He has a tall figure and a handsome face, which can be regarded as a rare handsome man.

"Yang Wanli, with Imperial Physician An and this eunuch testifying, do you still want to deny it? If you confess, the Queen Mother and the Emperor Nian have been escorting and following the Holy Lord in the past, which can be regarded as meritorious, and maybe they will spare your family. If you resist stubbornly, it will definitely be the fate of the Zhulian Nine Clans!"

Yang Wanli's face finally changed, and it was cloudy.

Then I saw him turn his head and take a deep look at the general who had just spoken, and said slowly: "The guilty general is not in the same party. ”

After that, he jumped up like a cheetah, picked up a goose feather knife on the ground, and wiped his neck directly.

None of the people present expected him to commit suicide, and no one had time to stop him.

Even Zhao Dongting was stunned.

It wasn't until Yang Wanli's body fell to the ground and the armor hit the ground with a crisp sound that Zhao Dongting came back to his senses and cursed in his heart, "!"

I just listened to the handsome general, and I didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but now I think about it, but I feel a little strange.

On the surface, he was trying to persuade Yang Wanli to confess, but now it seems that his real intention is to warn Yang Wanli.

Does he mean that if Yang Wanli dares to confess the people behind the scenes, he will kill his entire family?

Zhao Dongting glanced at this handsome general a few times, and always felt strange in his heart.

But now that Yang Wanli is dead, it is obviously useless to say anything. asked him suddenly, but he was afraid that he would startle the snake.

But it is also delusional to want things to end like this.

Zhao Dongting sneered in his heart and said, "Which of you present are the generals of the front division of the palace and the guards of the army?"

When a few people heard this, their eyes showed a slight joy. Everyone can see that the little emperor is going to take these forbidden army generals under the knife.

When Zhao Dongting saw this scene, he felt a little sad in his heart. The Southern Song Dynasty court has fallen to this point, and they still have the heart to pour into each other.

Just think about it, it is inevitable that there will be factional disputes in the court.

Several generals kneeling on the ground spoke one after another.

"The former deputy director of the palace is in charge of official affairs!"

"The last general's palace is waiting for Zhang Xi!"

"Ministers and guards, Ma Jun, official affairs, Jiang Cunzhong!"

"The last general's guard Ma Jun's deputy official Lu Chuanyao!"

"Yang Yidong, the official affairs of the ministers, guards, and soldiers!"

It can be seen that the supervisors who are in charge of the main posts are all Wenchen. And the generals are mostly deputies.

Those below Du Yuhou, such as Zhuban and Zhuzhi, are not qualified to come in to meet Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting paid special attention to the handsome general, Yang Yidong, the official of the guard infantry army, who happened to be Yang Wanli's boss.

Now the Southern Song Dynasty small court palace and the guards are all led by Su Liuyi, the chief officer of the guard infantry army "the commander of the guards and the army" is naturally a fictitious, Yang Yidong as an infantry army official, can be said to be a figure who touches the sky in the guard army, and his status in the forbidden army is second only to Su Liuyi and Dongheli. His identity, as well as what he said to the dead ghost Yang Wanli just now, made Zhao Dongting even more suspicious in his heart that he was the main messenger behind Yang Wanli.

Yang Wanli is just a deputy position, can he really buy the guards next to the emperor?

Unless this Yang Yidong is a dry eater, it's almost the same.

But it doesn't look like Yang Yidong is a fool.

Zhao Dongting thought in his heart, "Although there is no evidence, it is better to kill the wrong person than to let it go, Emperor Laozi has not been addicted to it, and he must not leave anyone around who threatens his life." Even if you can't kill this Yang Yidong, you have to depose him!"

Immediately, he said, "There are so many rebels in my Praetorian Guard, is it a crime for you?"

Who would dare to say that it is not?

Even Su Liuyi nodded obediently, and the group of people whispered: "Yes......"

"So be it!"

Zhao Dongting took this opportunity to use the sword, "The Praetorian Guard system is huge, and Lord Su is in charge of the front division of the palace and the guards and pro-army, and he works all day long, and it is inevitable that he will not be able to catch ...... power."

At this point, the eyes of several ministers lit up.

The little emperor clearly wants to cut Su Liuyi's power, and Su Liuyi's power is cut, isn't there someone who will take advantage of it?

I didn't think that Zhao Dongting then said: "From now on, the guards and pro-army will be under the command of me personally, what do you think?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

The eleven-year-old is going to command the army? Isn't this a joke?

looked at the Queen Mother at the moment.

Yang Shufei gently patted Zhao Dongting's head and said, "Gir, you are still young, how do you know how to command troops?"

A few ministers who wanted to take over the guards hurriedly followed, "Please think twice." ”

Zhao Dongting had already thought of words in his heart, and his eyes swept sternly over the faces of the ministers who had just spoken, and then said to Concubine Yang Shu: "Queen Mother, our Great Song Dynasty has fallen to this point, and the emperor should take it as his responsibility to recover the rivers and mountains." Although he is still young, the emperor feels that he should start tempering himself from now on, otherwise how will he command the army in the future, how will he expel the Yuan thief, and how will he recover the rivers and mountains of his ancestors?"

His words can be described as impassioned and eloquent.

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

Is this still the little emperor who only knew how to eat, drink, and tease crickets before?

How did a cold wind seem to open his mind?

Recalling that Zhao Dongting had just cleaned up Yang Wanli, and now he was in charge of guarding the pro-army, it can be said that it was watertight. Some people looked at Zhao Dongting with something wrong in their eyes, this really didn't look like a city mansion that an eleven-year-old child could have.

Yang Shufei opened her red lips slightly, and she didn't know what to say.

Those ministers who were interested in taking over the guards had just been warned by Zhao Dongting's eyes, and they didn't dare to say anything more at this time.

There was a sudden silence in the room.
