In the "Qinzheng Palace", the four "guards with knives in front of the emperor" who have been untied from thorns and ropes seem to have made an appointment. They all turned around and bowed down to their master three times, and shouted in unison: Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor. Hooray!

Hearing this, Emperor Yongxi thought to himself: Liang Shangshu and Yu Chengxiang have always been resourceful, and since they are here, they must have an idea. There is no need for us to deal with the four guards anymore, and refute the face of the two important ministers of the court!

Thinking of this, he squeezed out a smile and waved his hand and said: "Four guards, I have said before that you are all "meritorious heroes". How can it be blamed on you? As Liang Shangshu and Prime Minister Yu said, you should hurry back to the house to wash and clean, disinfect with medicine, and then change into clothes and rest for a day!

The four "guards with knives in front of the emperor" took a step forward, clasped their hands into fists and whispered: Your Majesty, Weichen retired.

As soon as the words slipped out, they turned around and walked out of the "Diligent Palace" one after another. While standing up and striding towards the south gate of the palace, the four heads pressed together and whispered: Hey, fortunately, Liang Shangshu and Prime Minister Yu arrived in time. Otherwise, the emperor may be furious and ordered to cut us "to set an example"!

Suddenly, Guard Li patted his head and exclaimed: Yesterday morning, the emperor saw Liang Shangshu and Prime Minister Yu Cheng fall and be injured, and the other had a cold and high fever. He decreed that the date of the execution of the rebel minister Ning Feihu would be postponed, and the two of them would not have to go to court. Stay in the mansion and rest for three days! Today, it's the next day. How did they enter the palace?

The Ding guard who was walking beside him blurted out: Brother Li, what can't you understand about this? In my opinion, they must have heard that we caused trouble and "pleaded guilty" with the emperor. I hurried to exonerate us!

Hearing this, Guard Cai and Guard Wei couldn't help but drag the two who spoke. The two of them invariably threw out the questions in their hearts: Hey, who rushed to Shangshu Mansion and Prime Minister's Mansion to report the news?

Faced with this question, Guard Li and Guard Ding, who spoke first, exclaimed in unison: Oh, the four of us were in the "Diligent Administration Palace" just now. They all forgot to ask Liang Shangshu and Prime Minister Yu, how did they know that we "took the blame" to the emperor? Until now, I don't know who our most direct benefactor is. What a shame!

Next, the four "guards with knives in front of the palace" walked to the gate of the palace and muttered to themselves: Hey, who rushed to Shangshu Mansion and Prime Minister's Mansion to report the news?

At this time, Cai Guard's thought suddenly: Just now, several people knelt on the ground and begged the emperor to make up something to Empress Hua. They are old and frail, and they are the masterminds of this "verbal confrontation with Queen Hua"!

Thinking of this, he patted his head and shouted: Three senior brothers, I remembered. Those loyal ministers just knelt down and bowed their heads three times and said to the emperor, willing to "lead the death of the four of us"!

As soon as his words landed, the other three companions couldn't help but suddenly say the same answer: Oops, so. The person who reported to Liang Shangshu and Prime Minister Yu Cheng was their companion!

Immediately, the cheeks of the four "guards with knives in front of the emperor" were all flushed with a layer of "moved". They whispered gratefully: Oh, it's been a long time. We were all saved by those loyal ministers, and there are still many good people in this world!

As they spoke, their footsteps were already standing at the gate of the palace. At the same time, the four of them stretched out their hands and shook them together and said: In this life and this life, even if I go down to the sea of fire for the sake of the stability of the country. We all have no regrets, the sun and the moon witness!

After swearing a heavy oath, the four "guards with swords in front of the king" silently let go of their hands. He turned and walked to the plane tree, untied his mount, grabbed the reins, gritted his teeth, jumped up, and landed on the horse. He glanced back at his companions, and then raised his whip and rode towards their respective mansions!

At this moment, in the "Diligent Administration Palace", those officials with straight waists also glanced at each other. He knelt down to his master and shouted: Your Majesty, Weichen also retires!

Hearing this, Emperor Yongxi's mind suddenly flashed the scene just now. He stretched his hands forward and said with tears in his eyes: "Ladies and gentlemen, you have saved four generals for me today. My country is carefree, and I will always keep it in mind. Please go to the "Internal Affairs Office" Lord Yao and Lord Wang to receive the reward!

As soon as his words landed, the officials kneeling on the ground all fell to the ground and shouted three times: Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor. Hooray!

After three exhalations, one by one they stood up one after another. He raised two fingers at Liang Shangshu and Yu Cheng and said: Two adults, can I continue to stabilize the Jiangshan Sheji. It's all up to you, come on!

As they spoke, their footsteps sounded. "Click, click" knocked on the ground of the corridor outside the "Qinzheng Palace", and soon disappeared completely!

Hearing this, Emperor Yongxi couldn't wait to walk down the Jinluan Palace. took Liang Shangshu and Yu Chengxiang's hands and said: Two Aiqing, you two can be called my "right-hand men". For more than a decade, I have been afraid of angering two generals with evil arts. Now, there are only three of us left. Tell us what to do with them!

Liang Shangshu and Prime Minister Yu seemed to have made an appointment, knelt on the ground at his feet and said in unison: Your Majesty, if you want me to continue to stabilize the country. First of all, it is necessary to send someone to keep an eye on Queen Hua and the three thousand beauties of the harem. Just in case any of them "do-good" release carrier pigeons and go to the border to report to the two Chinese generals stationed there!

Emperor Yongxi hurriedly pulled them up, and said with a smile on his face: "Two Aiqing, you two are dedicated to keeping me safe and safe." There is no need for these etiquettes between me and you!

At this time, the two figures landed at the door of the "Diligent Government Palace" in a flash. One of them rushed in with small steps, knelt on the ground, and shouted in a sissy voice: Your Majesty, the miscellaneous family has an urgent report!

Emperor Yongxi took a step forward, pulled him up and said eagerly: Gonggong Li, what happened? Hurry up!

Liang Shangshu and Prime Minister Yu couldn't help but glance at Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch. They looked at each other and whispered: Hey, he is in charge of the affairs of the eunuchs and palace maids on weekdays. What could be causing him to be so alarmed today?

However, it seemed to them that there would be no trouble. At this moment, say something. But they were suddenly shocked: the emperor, Chongxi, the eldest prince of the East Palace, entered the "Imperial Mausoleum" and lit paper money to worship his younger brother. Hearing that several women in the harem carried shovels to the door of the "Imperial Mausoleum", he hurried to the "Imperial Study" to report to you but forgot to step on the paper money!

Immediately, Liang Shangshu and Prime Minister Yu beat their chests together and said: This prince of the East Palace has always been calmer and more stable than his younger brother. Now things have reached the point of "burning eyebrows"! Why did he turn his head into a mess?

Even if Emperor Yongxi dreamed of "One Thousand and One Nights", he couldn't imagine that the ending he didn't want to believe would still happen unpredictably!

He thought he was getting older, and his ears were a little misheard. put his earlobe against the lips of the comer, and said in disbelief: Gonggong Li, Chongxi has been cautious since he was a child. He knew that a few people in the harem would not give up, so how could he forget to step on the paper money and then leave the "imperial tomb"? Are you really not joking with me?

Hearing this, Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch, shook his head and said: Your Majesty, you just lent a few heads to the miscellaneous family. The miscellaneous family will never dare to joke with you! The miscellaneous family rushed to the door of the "Imperial Mausoleum" after your command, and saw Xiao Anzi standing there alone. When the miscellaneous family saw wisps of black smoke coming out of the middle of the "Imperial Mausoleum", they concluded that Lin Guiren and several noble concubines and concubines also saw this scene!

These words finally made Emperor Yongxi believe it thoroughly: the old eunuch in front of him, who has been following him, is definitely not joking with him as the master!

The facts were put in front of him, and he couldn't help but say nervously: Gonggong Li, are you saying that Lin Guiren and several noble concubines and concubines have gone to the "Changle Palace". Did you tell Empress Hua about their speculation?

The chief eunuch Li Gonggong nodded his head like a "chicken pecking rice", and he didn't dare to stop a mouth: Your Majesty, the miscellaneous family rushed to the arc-shaped round hole on the east side of the "Changle Palace". I heard the four deputies of the "Imperial Guards with Swords" who were guarding there say that those women had indeed entered the "Changle Palace----

Before he could finish speaking, Emperor Yongxi shouted angrily: Before the four guards come here to "plead guilty" to me, they will definitely tell their respective deputies not to let anyone enter the "Changle Palace". These young descendants dared to make decisions without authorization and let Lin Guiren and several concubines and concubines in. It's so unpredictable!

Speaking of this, he flicked his sleeves and rushed to the door of the "Diligent Administration Palace" and shouted: Come on!

Immediately, the little eunuch Dezi rushed to the front of Emperor Yongxi with small steps. Bent down and humbly said: Your Majesty, just give orders!

Immediately, he heard his master shouting: Little Dezi, go to the mansion of the four guards who had just left. Tell them to hurry into the palace to discuss matters!

As the master of the Son of Heaven, who dares to slack off?

Xiao Dezi hurriedly turned around and ran away, and soon disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Emperor Yongxi turned to his most important minister, and said with a serious expression: Liang Shangshu, Prime Minister Yu, you two should follow me to drive the "Changle Palace"!

Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch, hurriedly ran to him and knelt down, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the four deputies will definitely not dare to act against your wishes even if they eat the gall of a leopard." But it was Queen Hua herself who called those women to enter the "Changle Palace"!

Emperor Yongxi stared at him with wide eyes, and said with a gloomy face: "Gonggong Li, you don't have to exonerate the four deputies!"

Hearing this, Xiao Anzi, who stood outside the "Diligent Administration Palace" and never spoke. Hurriedly knelt down and shouted: The emperor is groomed, let's follow the chief eunuch Li Gonggong to the "Changle Palace". Everything he just said is a big truth. Think again!

After all, Xiao Anzi was personally brought into the palace by Emperor Yongxi. He still has a sense of affection for this adopted son who has no royal blood!

Therefore, he finally believed it completely: what the old eunuch said in front of him was indeed the truth!

Emperor Yongxi pulled up the kneeler, and said with a soothing face: Gonggong Li, you hurry to the "Changle Palace" to announce my message. Let the four deputies keep an eye on Queen Hua and a few women who went in!

Seeing this, Xiao Anzi knew that the life of Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch, was not in danger. He said in a comfortable mood: Your Majesty, Gonggong Li first ordered the four deputies to keep an eye on Empress Hua and a few women who entered. Let us take him to fly to the "Qinzheng Palace" to report to you!

These words were like moving a huge stone that was pressed in the heart of Emperor Yongxi. He grabbed the hands of the two ministers and pressed them against the old eunuch's hands. He stretched out his other hand to wrap the three hands stacked together, and said happily: I have the full support of the three of you, why not be stable in the country?

With that, four guards in armor hurried in. Bent down and said humbly: Your Majesty, we all complain that we were negligent and let our deputy do the wrong thing. Wechen is willing to be punished!

Only then did Emperor Yongxi put down the hands of the three of them, turned to them and said with a smile: The four guards are all anxious to listen to the explanations of Gonggong Li and Xiao Anzi. I almost punished your beloved disciple by mistake!

As soon as the words landed, he changed his words and said: The four guards, since they were announced into the palace by Xiao Dezi, I sent them. If the pain on your body doesn't matter, let's participate in the conspiracy to defeat the two Hua generals with evil arts!

The four guards were neither three-year-olds nor fools. Of course, I can understand: the master's words are to find a "step" for himself!

So, the four brothers turned to Emperor Yongxi together and said: Your Majesty, we are all just a martial artist. Liang Shangshu and Yu Cheng were resourceful, and they came up with a series of plans. We and the other four brothers must be doing the same!

Hearing this, Emperor Yongxi looked at the two ministers he valued most and said: Liang Shangshu, Prime Minister Yu, and the four guards all said so. Which of you will speak first?

Liang Shangshu gave a look to Prime Minister Yu, who said understandingly: Your Majesty, Gonggong Li promptly ordered the four deputies to keep an eye on Empress Hua, Lin Guiren and several noble concubines and concubines. It can be described as "my great luck"! In this way, they do not have the opportunity to release carrier pigeons to report to the border. For the plan we are about to implement, it has an indispensable auxiliary role!

Then, he lowered his voice and said: Now, the emperor can be among those upright officials who "value love and justice" just now. Choose two speakers and quickly go to the border to convey your message. I sincerely invite the two generals to return to Beijing with them to attend your 59th birthday banquet----

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Yongxi frowned and said: Prime Minister Yu, why can't you let the officials sent out directly take the official sedan chair to the border. What about the "Holy Decree" that was directly pronounced to the two Hua generals? The two Hua generals were withdrawn, and the two officials just rode Xuanzhen's dictation. I'm afraid they won't listen, right?

The four guards also turned to the prime minister as if they had made an appointment, and threw out the puzzlement in their hearts: Prime Minister, everyone who is a "court official" is the master. I must only believe that today's "Holy Decree" is so serious and sacred that it cannot be neglected!

At this time, Liang Shangshu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the four guards, you also know that the "Holy Decree" is serious and sacred. Can the two generals who have been stationed at the border all year round not know? Suppose two officials were asked to read the Decree in a solemn manner in front of them. It will definitely cause their brain cells to be vigilant without warning!

Hearing this, Prime Minister Yu said "while the iron is hot": The emperor and the four guards, if we let the two officials ride to the border quickly. When they arrived at the border, their foreheads must have beads of sweat rolling down, and their clothes were soaked and slimy, with a smell of sweat! I promise that the first time I see them, the two generals will relax their vigilance. Hearing the two officials convey that they were invited back to Beijing to attend the 59th birthday banquet today, the heat must be rolling in their hearts!

As soon as his words landed, Emperor Yongxi and the four guards Liang Shangshu finally suddenly came to their senses and said: Oh, it turns out that you are planning a "warm play". The two officials quickly felt the boundary, and only conveyed that the two of them were invited back to Beijing for a birthday banquet. The emotion in their hearts will reduce the potential sense of vigilance!

Hearing this, Liang Shangshu said: Your Majesty, when the two officials hurried to the border. With Lin Yushi, the four guards who went to Huayang County in southern Jiangsu were already on their way back to Beijing! At the same time, let's first lay a hidden switch in the "imperial dining room". When the two generals returned to the capital, the eight guards accompanied them and the emperor to the "imperial dining room"!

Prime Minister Yu picked up the conversation again: Your Majesty, the two Chinese generals usually rely on evil arts. He has always been domineering in the world, like an arrow of ice! Wechen concluded that they would definitely enter the "Imperial Dining Room" before you. And it is impossible for them to know where the hidden switch we arranged in advance is. Even if they don't die, they will have to be injured by the hidden weapon that has been fed with hundreds of poisons, and at this time, they will definitely not be able to use their magic against you and us!

Emperor Yongxi said in a comfortable mood: When the time comes, the eight guards will join forces to deal with the two Hua generals. It's so much simpler!

As he spoke, he couldn't help but turn to the old eunuch beside him and said, "Gonggong Li, today you should promptly order the four deputies to keep an eye on those women." It can be said that "a great contribution has been made first"!

The chief eunuch Li Gonggong bent down and said busily: "Your Majesty, if you let go of carrier pigeons because of those women's heads, you will attract the soldiers and horses of the two Chinese generals. Since then, I have not been able to stabilize the country, and the miscellaneous family has no stable life. Don't praise the miscellaneous family anymore!

Liang Shangshu and Prime Minister Yu said eagerly: Your Majesty, the national disaster is at the head, and the husband is responsible. For now, you should hurry up and let Gonggong Li's "Hanlin Academy" select two upright officials. It's time for a few of us to prepare for the battle against the two Hua generals!

The four guards and Xiao Anzi also blurted out: What the emperor, Gonggong Li and the two adults said is very true. The national crisis is at the head, everyone is responsible, let's prepare according to what the two adults said!

Looking at several courtiers with pious faces, Emperor Yongxi's long-suppressed heart suddenly brightened. He turned his head and shouted excitedly outside the "Diligent Administration Palace": Gonggong Li, I order you to hurry up and go to the "Hanlin Academy" to select two officials who are usually loyal and upright. Remember to have the ability to "speak well"!

Speaking of this, he smiled and said: Ladies and gentlemen, it is already dark outside. You must have missed breakfast like me! No matter how urgent the matter is, your bones are not made of iron. Let's all move to the side hall on the east side of the "Imperial Dining Room" to eat!

Immediately, the eight men around Emperor Yongxi. They all prostrated on the ground and bowed three times, and then put their hands on their foreheads and shouted: Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live!
