Chapter 631: There Are Traitors (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"My good uncle, why didn't I listen to the queen mother, let you save her!"
Wang Zhong had already gone downstairs at this time and slowly walked out of the ranks of the Royal Forest Army.
"Hmph, you put the Queen Mother under house arrest, this matter is already known to everyone, follow me to arrest the faint king and rescue the Queen Mother!"
Lu Zhongbo had just finished shouting, but he didn't expect that there would be a neat voice on the left and right.
"Protect the Emperor!"
It was the general who shouted.
This time, he led the army, because he had a clean background and Wang Zhong trusted him.
Otherwise, what if there are spies on the side of the city guards?
"Wow, so you've been prepared."
Lu Zhongbo is not a stupid person, he understands all of a sudden, there are traitors.
"It's too late to surrender now, otherwise, the Nine Clans!" Wang Zhong shouted.
"It's too late, follow me to arrest the emperor, as long as the queen mother is rescued, victory is our ............"
Lu Zhongbo shouted, he was a smart man, and he knew that Wang Chong continued to speak, and the people on his side were unstable.
The emperor can let other people go, but he will never let them go, so he must break the net.
"Kill ......"
Someone gritted his teeth and followed Lu Zhongbo.
However, Xu Daming and the other two ministers had a cold light in their eyes, and they took the lead in slashing Lu Zhongbo's legs.
Wang Chong had orders for them before, and he wanted to keep Lu Zhongbo alive, not because he was reluctant to kill him, but because Lu Zhongbo had been operating in the court for so many years, and he must have a lot of property.
Keeping him is also to better receive his belongings.
"Ah......h
Lu Zhongbo was cut to the ground, and the private soldiers of the three ministers instantly burst out, slashing and killing the people around them.
"Your Majesty, Weichen was bewitched by the villain, and I ask for forgiveness."
"Your Majesty, this matter was done by Lu Zhongbo, and I will save you."
Seeing that the situation was not good, several ministers who saw the wind and steered the rudder followed Xu Daming's three ministers and began to deal with Lu Zhongbo.
The battle didn't last long, and Lu Zhongbo had the most people, but no matter how many people he had, it was difficult to resist so many people and the traitors around him.
Poof!
Lu Zhongbo was escorted and thrown in front of Wang Chong.
"Awesome, awesome...... Your Majesty, I've always underestimated you before, but I didn't expect you to set up so many schemes, I really can't think of it............"
Lu Zhongbo knew that he had lost, and he also accepted his fate.
"Ome." Wang Zhong shouted.
"The old slave is here."
"The Lu family rebellious and all of them were put in prison in Dongchang."
"Yes."
Subsequently, Wang Zhong put one minister after another into prison and waited for his release.
For those who see the wind and rudder, Wang Chong will naturally not let go.
Now he wants to tell everyone with bloody facts that those who oppose him must die!
Next, the matter here was handed over to the people below, and at the same time, Dongchang and the city defense army respectively arrested the families of these ministers.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
As soon as I returned to the harem, I saw the queen, Concubine Shen, and many concubines and palace maids, nervously guarding the entrance.
Seeing Wang Chong coming, Queen Zhao Luan breathed a sigh of relief and greeted her in surprise.
As soon as he saw this posture, Wang Zhong knew that the queen was worried about him, so he had been waiting for him to come over here.
"Your Majesty, I'm worried about the death of my concubine." Zhao Luan grabbed Wang Chong's arm.
The other concubines didn't dare to come over to talk, but now that they are all smart, they don't dare to get close to Wang Chongtao when the queen is here.
"It's okay, all the rebels and thieves are all ambushed."
"Hoo ......"
Hearing Wang Chong's words, the concubines all breathed a long sigh of relief.
Play and play, make trouble, no matter how miserable they are, they don't want Wang Zhong to fall.
Because of the fall of Wang Chong, it means that there will be a bloody storm here.
After letting the concubines go back, Wang Chong hugged Concubine Shen and came to her residence.
It's not that Wang Chong doesn't want to go to the queen, but the queen secretly said that she came to menstruation, for fear of disturbing the emperor's interest, so she asked Feng Chengcheng to take the emperor away.
Feng Chengcheng was naturally very happy, and tried his best to show himself along the way.
"I'm tired and want to wash my feet." Wang Zhong sat on a stool and said.
"The concubine immediately asked someone to fetch hot water."
After Concubine Shen walked to the door and instructed the palace maid, she returned as soon as possible and took off her socks for Wang Chong.
"The emperor has every opportunity, the concubine will pinch your feet."
"Well, okay."
This Feng Chengcheng is worthy of being a better mixer in the harem, and he does have eyesight.
But Wang Chong came here today, not just for enjoyment.
After the hot water came, Feng Chengcheng instructed the palace maid to go out and wash the king's feet with all his heart.
"Concubine Shen, have you been to the Queen Mother's side recently?" Wang Zhong asked with squinted eyes.
"The emperor didn't let the concubines go, and the concubines didn't dare to go, but the concubines heard some news."
"What's the news?"
"Some palace maids and eunuchs are ignorant, and they talk behind their backs......"
"Say I'm not filial? Isn't it? Wang Chong smiled slightly, he had already expected these things.
Feng Chengcheng hurriedly knelt down: "The concubines have already taught them a lesson for the emperor, and they are not allowed to talk nonsense." ”
"It's useless to gag people, because this is the truth, Concubine Shen, you have to understand, if the Queen Mother comes out, it will be me who is unlucky, understand?"
"The concubine understands."
"Alright, let's get some rest early."
That night, Wang thought about it a lot.
Now, all of Lu Zhongbo's henchmen have been eradicated, and many of them have provided a lot of support to Lu Zhongbo although they did not participate in tonight's rebellion.
These people need Lu Zhongbo and his men to confess one by one to know who they are.
The number is estimated to be quite a bit.
Thinking of this, Wang Chong couldn't help but have a headache, if he checked it out, I am afraid that there are few hundred officials in the court.
"The emperor has a lot of opportunities, and the concubines are now relaxed for you."
Feng Chengcheng whispered softly on the side.
……………………
Early the next morning, Wang Chong had just gotten up, and Xie Jin came over in a hurry.
"Emperor, the old slave thoroughly investigated the Lu party members overnight, and finally made a major discovery."
Old Xie Jin's face was full of joy, and then he respectfully took out a booklet.
"Oh, what big discovery?"
"All the henchmen of the Lu Party confessed except for Lu Zhongbo, and now they are just waiting for the emperor's order, and the old slave will definitely be able to cooperate with the city defense army to take down all those thieves for the emperor to distribute."
Wang Zhong took the booklet and glanced at it a few times, and the more he looked at it, the deeper his brows wrinkled.
On the roster, it actually accounted for two-thirds of the officials in the entire court.
If this is really investigated, I'm afraid he will become the commander of the light pole.
At that time, the affairs of the officials have not been resolved, and the world is probably going to be chaotic.
This matter must be resolved as soon as possible, and this group of ministers cannot be cheapened, but it cannot be made impossible for his court to function.
After thinking about it, Wang Zhong made a decision: "These ministers don't need to be arrested for the time being. ”
"Uh......" Xie Jin's mind couldn't turn around, why didn't the emperor suddenly catch it, he still wanted to rely on this opportunity to make great contributions.
You can't blame Xie Jin for having a low vision, he said that he was investigating the case, let him send someone to follow and follow people, coercion and temptation are okay, if he really sits in Wang Chong's position, he may not understand anything.
"The old slave obeys the order, but the emperor, Lu Zhongbo, this thief has a very hard mouth, and he refuses to say anything, only that he wants to see you."
"Then meet him, big companion, you go to the Jinluan Palace, and let those ministers wait for the court this morning."
"It's the Emperor."
Immediately, He Taigao went to the Jinluan Palace.
And Wang Chong, under the leadership of Xie Jin, led the guards to the Dongchang prison.
The Dongchang prison, which was originally empty, is now overcrowded, and a lot of arrests have been made during this period, and the entire Dongchang prison will be crowded.
As a last resort, Xie Jin locked up some inconsequential ones together to solve the problem of the prison being crowded.
This time, Wang came over, and Xie Jin arranged for heavy troops to guard him in advance.
came to the lobby of the East Factory, and soon, Lu Zhongbo was brought out.
"Get on your knees!"
The two eunuchs kicked Lu Zhongbo's injured leg and shouted.
"Poof!"
Lu Zhongbo, who was wearing shackles, knelt on the ground, looked at Wang Chong and whispered: "Sinner Lu Zhongbo, knock on the emperor." ”
"You know you are a sinner." Wang Chong said lightly.
"Your Majesty, I blinded my mind for a while and did such a foolish thing, a criminal minister...... Wrong. ”
"Do you think that if you say you know your mistakes, I will let you go?"
"The sinner doesn't dare, the sinner knows that what he did deserves death, but I beg the emperor, remember that there is a trace of blood in your body for the sake of my Lu family, and ask the emperor, if you don't have a wife and children, let go of the sinner's family."
What Wang Chong did before was seen by everyone.
That is, men are reduced to slaves, and women are prostitutes.
Lu Zhongbo is worried now that the ruthless Wang Zhong will deal with his family like this, and then it will be really troublesome.
"Hahaha, let your family go, you really think about it, I remember, your good son also participated in the rebellion, do you think I will let the tiger go back to the mountain?"
Such a stupid thing as letting the tiger return to the mountain, Wang Chong would not do it.
"Your Majesty, the criminal minister has a huge amount of silver taels in his hand, as long as the emperor is willing to let go of the criminal minister's family, the criminal minister is willing to give it with both hands."
Lu Zhongbo now knew that he was not qualified to negotiate conditions with Wang, but he had no choice but not to talk about it.
"In this way, I can promise you that if you let go of the unwitting people in your family, those who participated in the rebellion, will die."
"Besides, I promise that I won't let your family be a slave, how about it?"
In any case, this Lu Zhongbo's family is also a relative of the emperor, if he is really a slave and a prostitute, it will not be good for his royal reputation to spread out.
Lu Zhongbo is a smart person, and he can see that this is the best condition for Wang Chong to concede, sigh, and then confess in detail.
In addition to recruiting the location where his Lu family's property was stored, he also provided some fixed assets.
For example, the shops in the capital, the good fields, and the silver villages.
These things were naturally copied by Wang Zhong without hesitation.
It was already afternoon when things were done, and the ministers had been starving outside the Golden Luang Hall under the scorching sun for most of the day.
If it had been before, these ministers would have scolded their mothers one by one.
But now they don't dare, the tyrant's name has reached the ears of ordinary people, and they are even more impressed in their hearts, so no one dares to say a word of dissatisfaction.
"Why hasn't the emperor come yet?" Someone muttered.
"Let's just wait, something so big happened last night......"
Some people are worried, for fear that they will be implicated.
