Chapter 759: I'm afraid something is going to happen
"Zhang Xiong, our family really misjudged you, I thought you would serve the emperor and the queen mother loyally, but I didn't expect to have such a mind!" Zhang Yong stepped forward, and when he heard the words of the little eunuch, he was immediately furious and reprimanded.
"You!" Zhang Xiong's eyes widened with anger, as if he was about to erupt into flames. Is this Zhang Yong going to rebel? He even said such things. At the same time, his heart became more and more anxious, what was going on, and why did the situation develop in this direction? Could it be that the emperor signaled, but the emperor wanted to kill him, it was only a matter of one sentence, so why bother so much.
"Come on, Zhang Xiong murdered the Queen Mother, the crime is unforgivable, and he will be executed on the spot!" Zhang Yong's face showed a cruel smile, and a eunuch beside him directly pulled out his waist knife and slashed at Zhang Xiong's neck.
"No!" Empress Dowager Zhang also listened to the movement outside, and when she heard that Zhang Yong was going to kill Zhang Xiong, she immediately shouted, wanting to stop Zhang Yong.
But it was too late, the eunuch grabbed Zhang Xiong's hair with one hand, put the knife on his neck with the other, and with a hard stroke, the blood rushed out directly.
"Whoa. Blood splashed on the queen mother's sedan chair, and the curtain made of brocade directly gave a piece of blood red, and a stream of bloody gas escaped, which wanted to make people sick.
The faces of the few little eunuchs carrying the sedan chair became extremely pale, their bodies trembled uncontrollably, their hands and feet were also weak, and even the sedan chair could not be lifted.
Without the thing, the eunuchs couldn't control their urge to urinate, and in fear, a stream of yellow water flowed out of their crotch.
"The Queen Mother, the traitor Zhang Xiong has been ambushed, and I ask the Queen Mother to forgive the crime of disturbance. After killing Zhang Xiong, Zhang Yong knelt down and kowtowed to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother, who was sitting in the sedan chair, was also frightened. Although she has not experienced palace battles, she still has them in her eyes. She wouldn't be stupid enough to think that Zhang Xiong really wanted to kill him, this was clearly Zhang Yong's deliberate planting.
However, since Zhang Yong dared to kill people in front of her, he must have no fear. There are only a few people around her now, if she tears her face with Zhang Yong, it will not be good for her.
Zhang ...... Zhang Yong's father-in-law is really bothered, the mourning family is not a big problem, but he knows the face and does not know the heart, this Zhang Xiong is also bold and reckless, and he actually plans to assassinate the mourning family. The Queen Mother tried her best to stabilize her mood and said casually.
"It's good that the queen mother doesn't blame, and the slave and maid have to report the matter to the emperor, so she will retire. Zhang Yong smiled lightly and said.
"Father-in-law Zhang Yong, the mourning family is also going to the emperor, why don't you go together. The Queen Mother pondered for a while, and then said slowly, she was testing what Zhang Yong's intentions were.
"The Queen Mother is really joking, you were frightened just now, how can you be tired of running around again, let's go back to the dormitory first. A few of you, escort the Queen Mother back to Renshou Palace, if the Queen Mother is out of the pool, you must be the only one who asks. When Zhang Yong heard the Queen Mother say this, his eyes immediately narrowed. His tone of voice, though not heavy, was full of unquestionable flavor.
The Queen Mother, who was sitting in the sedan chair, grabbed the corners of her clothes with her palms, and her face was full of anger. This damn eunuch is so bold that he is planning to put himself under house arrest.
After a long while, the queen mother's palm loosened, and there was a trace of depression in her eyes, what could she do if she was unwilling? Don't look at her as the queen mother of a country, but if these eunuchs really want to kill their masters, she can only sit and wait to be killed.
"Let's go, go back to Inshou Palace. Empress Dowager Zhang suppressed her anger and shouted to the eunuch on the side. And the eunuchs quickly lifted the sedan chair and hurried towards Renshou Palace.
Seeing the Queen Mother's sedan chair go away, Zhang Yong's eyes showed a complicated look. He is different from Jiang Bin, because Jiang Bin has committed a big crime, he must rely on Fang Hong to survive. But he was not guilty of a capital crime, and it stands to reason that he should not have helped to do such a thing.
But that immortal master named Fang Hong, his methods were too terrifying, and he didn't know what he put in his body, as long as he was disobedient, it would make his miserable life worse than death. In order not to suffer such suffering, he had to give in.
Within a day's effort, a piece of news that shook the government and the opposition came out. Zhang Xiong was killed because of the attempted assassination of the Empress Dowager and was killed on the spot by the guards who rushed to him. In order to find out the remnants of his party, any little eunuch who was close to Zhang Xiong was arrested by Jinyiwei.
The first reaction of everyone who heard the news was disbelief. Zhang Xiong is the chief eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, and he grew up with the emperor when he was a child. But to say that he will assassinate the Queen Mother, it is absolutely impossible.
After accepting this fact, the second thought on everyone's mind was fear. They realized that something might be wrong in the palace, and the emperor might be in danger at the moment, and it was someone with ulterior motives who took the opportunity to stir up the wind and rain.
At this time, everyone's focus fell on Jiang Bin. These days, the emperor has not seen anyone, only let Jiang Bin accompany him, could it be that this Jiang Bin wants to learn from Cao Mengde or Wang Mang? Even if it is not, this matter cannot escape from Jiang Bin.
"Elder Yang Ge, what should I do about this? The emperor has ignored the government for so many days, I am afraid that it is not that the emperor is stubborn, but that there is something else hidden. The entire cabinet was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere at this time, and the three cabinet elders sat opposite each other, their brows almost locked.
Yang Tinghe is also at a loss at the moment, the reason why their cabinet can compete with the emperor is not because of how powerful the cabinet is. Although in fact, although the power of the cabinet is not small, all these powers come from the system and imperial power, and the emperor is willing to abide by the rules to play with you, and the cabinet can naturally make the emperor compromise. But if the emperor just flips the table and doesn't play with you, you don't have a problem.
Because the emperor holds one of the most important powers, that is, military power. Throughout the Ming Dynasty, no matter how degraded the status of military attachés was, there was one thing that could not be changed, that is, the army was a violent institution. If you really want to kill, no matter how much those civil officials jump, they will be slaughtered.
Many times, the emperor compromises because he is afraid of the opinions of the people of the world. But now that the emperor's life and death are unknown, the real power may be in the hands of an outsider. Then it's terrible, in case that person won't play the game with you, just kill it to the end, and the cabinet will be no different from a paper paste.
"Or ...... Let's go and move Wei Bin, mobilize 3,000 battalions, and enter the palace to rescue the emperor. "Wei Bin is also a eunuch, one of the Eight Tigers, and his reputation in the court and the people is not good, but at this moment, only Wei Bin can be relied on, after all, Zhang Yong, another eunuch who holds military power, followed Jiang Bin.
