Chapter 606: Nightfall

readx;

The palace before dinner is always more lively than usual, everyone is at the end of the day's work, there is always time to rest in the evening, everyone is relaxed, and the sound of talking and laughing is inevitably louder than during the day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

However, tonight's evening was unusually quiet, and from noon, the sturdy eunuchs and janissaries of the Jingchang began to arrest people everywhere, and it was said that they all believed in the Sanyang Sect, and planned to make trouble in the palace tonight.

Not counting the arrest, several bigwigs in the palace were furious, saying that these religious believers were killed, and they had to track down the people who chose them to enter the palace, as well as their relatives outside the palace, and all of them were dealt with strictly.

I don't know how many people are going to lose their heads, I don't know how many people are going to be connected, the people in the palace are all panicked, and they don't know if they will be implicated, and they don't know if the people around them will be implicated, who is still in the mood to laugh here.

Emperor Wanli originally returned to Concubine Zheng Guifei at noon, but in the afternoon, he was called by someone from Cining Palace, and his face was gloomy when he came back.

Now that Wang Tong and others are here, Emperor Wanli also has an object to talk to.

"The queen mother thinks that Zhang Siwei, the secretary of the military department, is loyal and reliable, and is a suitable candidate to succeed him, and Feng Daban is also in favor."

I thought that after Zhang Juzheng died of illness, he could control the government, but he didn't expect that he would still be a puppet of others, Zhang Siwei, a cabinet scholar and a secretary of the military department, was already in charge of the affairs of the government, although he had no name, but he was actually the second assistant, and it was reasonable for him to take over, and the order of order was also reasonable.

If Emperor Wanli appointed it himself, it would be enough, but this motion was issued by Cining Palace, which made Emperor Wanli extremely depressed.

has been pressed by the iron triangle of Empress Dowager Li, Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng for ten years, is it possible that after ten years, a new triangle will be pressed.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ It's infuriating that the widow still has to agree......"

At the end, Emperor Wanli said indignantly, Wang Tong shook his head, thought about the wording, and said:

"Your Majesty can't be angry about this matter, and if the auxiliary candidates are determined, they can also calm the minds of the people in the world, and when everything calms down, Your Majesty will plan slowly."

From Wang Tong's standpoint, it would be more advantageous if Shen Shixing, who had already been in contact, could sit in the position of assistant, but now is not the time to care about this.

"And slowly...... The widow has been waiting for a few years, is it still ......?"

"Long live Lord, the slave interjected, now is not the time to think about this, wait for the past few nights, after the evil in the palace is completely eliminated, let's talk about other things"

Zhang Cheng opened his mouth to persuade him, he couldn't say that he was in a good mood, Zhang Siwei came to power, and Feng Bao proposed it, his position in the palace did not change at all, and he was also suppressed.

There is chaos in the palace, and all aspects are naturally negligent, Cining Palace and the celebrant are all in charge of the military department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the soldiers and horses of the Beijing Division must not act rashly, and they are always vigilant.

In the afternoon, Xia Yuancheng, the deputy general of the Beijing camp, summoned the generals of the Beijing camp in the camp outside the city.

"Now that the Beijing division is uneasy, all the departments are restrained and the soldiers are not allowed to act rashly, and if there is a violation of the order, a military law will be established."

At this moment, if there is any order to enter the capital to quell the chaos of the king, I am afraid that there will be chaos immediately, but the deployment of this battalion to strictly guard the post is decent, and the generals will naturally obey it.

It was dark, and although it was quiet everywhere, all kinds of people in Concubine Zheng's palace felt very nervous.

Concubine Zheng Guifei had already ordered that the palace people who did not wait in the palace to listen to the order could not come out of the room at night no matter what movement they heard, otherwise they would be killed.

In the past few days, some strange eunuchs have lived in a few rooms in the front yard, and many of Zheng Guifei's palace people have seen it, and they have also seen that Emperor Wanli often goes in to chat and laugh, and since those strange eunuchs have moved in, the palace maids and eunuchs on Zheng Guifei's side have been strictly ordered not to go out, and all errands are arranged by Zhao Jinliang.

Everyone didn't know what was going on, but they also knew that it was unusual, and seeing the faces of the masters becoming more gloomy and serious day by day, they were naturally nervous.

"Wait a minute, please ask Your Majesty and the concubine to go to the back room, there are three houses in the front yard, ten people can still see it, Grandpa Zhang and Xiaoliang will also go in and wait, it is enough to have ministers outside."

Wang Tong looked at the west at the door, the sky of the imperial city wall dimmed little by little, the stars in the sky gradually brightened, Emperor Wanli looked at the heavily armed people in the house, only felt that his throat was a little dry, but he felt very excited.

He was a little scared, but he felt that he was fighting with his friends, and he felt like he was going to a group fight with a martial arts boy back then.

"Widow...... I'm here to help you."

Wang Tong raised his eyebrows, turned around and said:

"Your Majesty's golden body, if there is really a damage, what should I do with the Ming Dynasty, please rest assured that Your Majesty is waiting for you, and you will be able to protect Your Majesty."

The others clasped their fists and bowed down and said in unison:

"Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Emperor Wanli only felt that his throat was blocked by something, and nodded vigorously, the atmosphere in the room was a little heavy, Zhang Cheng on the side slapped his hands and said:

"This hasn't been fought yet, and there may be nothing to do tonight, so why bother making it like a battlefield"

When he said this, everyone woke up, first Emperor Wanli couldn't bear to be handsome, laughed out loud, everyone laughed along, and the atmosphere in the room was much better.

Wang Tong smiled and clenched his fists, and at this time, Zhao Jinliang shouted outside:

"The concubine has arrived"

Wang Tong gestured with everyone, everyone turned their backs, and after a while, a faint fragrance of fat powder wafted in the room, and a soft voice in the room was heard:

"The life of the emperor and the palace is entrusted to you"

If you turn around, you will see the appearance of the concubine, this is a big faux pas, Wang Tong and the others all turned their backs and said:

"Niangniang's words are serious, this is the duty of the ministers."

When the room was quiet and the door of the inner room was closed, Wang Tong turned around and looked at the sky outside when it was completely dark, and Wang Tong opened his mouth and commanded:

"Chen Dahe, you go up to the roof and stare around, see if there is any movement"

The big brother named Chen was thin and dexterous, and he hurriedly walked outside the house after listening to the order, Sun Xin and Li Tao also followed, and the two of them built a bridge and lifted the person up.

It was dark, and in front of the palace where King Lu Zhu Yiyi lived, a soft sedan chair was stopped, and the two little eunuchs in front of the door hurriedly went over to open the sedan curtain, and greeted him with a smile:

"Gonggong Lin, you are here, His Royal Highness King Lu said that he misses you old."

Lin Shulu shook his head with a smile, and the people around him took out two silver envelopes and handed them to the little eunuch on duty, and the two people were even more smiling, and said flatteringly:

"His Royal Highness King Lu is really close to your old age, and said that if you don't sleep without Gonggong Lin by your side, you won't be able to sleep."

"Your Highness is close to our family, that is the blessing that our family cultivated in the previous life, okay, quickly lead our family in"

After a few laughs and conversations, the two little eunuchs hurriedly let people in.

When he arrived at King Lu's bedroom, King Lu had already changed into a pale yellow nightgown, and when he saw Lin Shulu coming in, he stepped forward with a smile and said:

"If you don't have Lin by your side, you won't be able to sleep well."

Lin Shulu looked at King Lu lovingly and said in a low voice:

"It's not early, His Royal Highness King Lu will go to sleep first, everything will be handled by the old slave."

King Lu nodded vigorously, grabbed Lin Shulu's hand and shook it, and said solemnly:

"This king went to sleep first, and everything was accompanied by Torin."

"The slave maid is here to accompany His Royal Highness King Lu, His Highness sleeps peacefully, maybe when he wakes up, there will be good things waiting for His Highness."

The words of both sides seemed to have a deep meaning, King Lu smiled happily, and went into the quilt by himself, the weather was hot, the quilt was very thin, Lin Shulu stepped forward and stuffed the corners of the quilt, and said with concern:

"Your Highness, don't catch a cold."

After speaking, he sat on the chair next to the bed, Lin Shulu took out a pill from his arms and crushed it, swallowed it directly, leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, at this time, there was a sudden bird cry outside, Lin Shulu's eyes opened suddenly, and King Lu on the bed said:

"Lin Banban, this king can't sleep, tell me a story, I haven't listened to Lin Banban's story for a long time......"

Lin Shulu groaned and said slowly:

"After telling the prince for so many years, there are no new stories about the slave maid...... Let's tell the prince a story of our own family."

It was already rude to call himself "our family" in front of King Lu, but King Lu didn't seem to notice, just turned around and looked at Lin Shulu.

"Our family lost our father and mother a year before entering the palace, and our brothers have five ......"

"The place where the dragon qi is is where the Buddha came, if you don't go to the dragon qi, the Buddha can't come, brothers, follow along."

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Isn't that a rebellion...... What are we doing with a knife when we worship the Buddha......

"Now at this time, it's not okay not to go, we want to worship the Buddha in peace, but in the afternoon the palace will start to kill our sect brothers, I have got the news from the prison, tomorrow I will arrest and kill us......"

Li Quan was holding a sharpened wooden stick in his hand, a few people in front of him were holding steel knives, and around him were a large group of eunuchs with different expressions.

The road was quiet, I don't know if I was prepared, if I didn't prepare, it would be too late, Li Quan looked left and right, the thoughts in his mind turned around, thinking of his dead father, thinking of his eldest brother, and thinking of his younger brothers and sisters who were still in Tianjin Wei, but he saw a guard checkpoint in front of him.

Li Quanyi gritted his teeth and ran out of the crowd suddenly, and the eunuchs were caught off guard, shouting and scolding behind him, but he couldn't catch up in a short time.

"Someone wants to rebel, someone wants to kill Banzai"

Li Quan hissed and shouted as he ran, more than a dozen guards over there had already stopped in the middle of the road....... What, someone in front of him waved his hand, could he greet himself, but it was not right, why was he sneering......

The sword flashed in front of him and slashed towards Li Quan......
