In Tianqi's opinion, the only one who can kidnap him unknowingly can be Wei Zhongxian or Ye Chengxue.

If he is still hidden in the palace now, it is Wei Zhongxian, because the people in the palace are all dispatched by Wei Zhongxian.

If it is outside the palace, it is likely to be Ye Chengxue, because Ye Chengxue is responsible for the palace guards, only he can secretly kidnap him out of the palace by colluding with the eunuch, otherwise, even if there is an eunuch who wants to kidnap him out of the palace, he will be found out when he leaves the palace.

After the apocalypse shouted loudly, the people outside were not afraid, and sneered: "What we want to lock up is the Son of Heaven." ”

After hearing this, Tianqi asked directly in a deep voice: "Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Nine Clans?!" ”

"Nine Clans?! What about the Ten Tribes? If you don't be a ruthless person, it's rare to be a man. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is already old, and if he can't abolish all the new laws before closing his eyes, the minister will not be reincarnated even if he goes to the Nine Springs, even if he wants to go to hell, he will not be reconciled."

At this time, an old man's voice came from outside.

Soon after the old man said this, he commanded the two men guarding the door: "Open! ”

"Yes!"

Immediately, the door of the dark room where the apocalypse was locked opened open.

Several rows of torches appeared outside the door.

Tianqi immediately found that the cabinet scholar Lai Zongdao and Ye Chengxue, who was newly promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, as well as the chief of ceremonies Bingbi Wang Tiqian, the left attendant of the military department Ge Guichao, Guanglu Temple Cheng Zenghui and other courtiers appeared outside the door.

Ye Chengxue waved his hand first, and several of his cronies and guards surrounded the apocalypse with crossbows first.

Then, Lai Zongdao and Ye Chengxue and other civil and military courtiers walked into the house and stood in front of the apocalypse.

At this time, Tianqi sat back on a chair, straightened his chest, put his hands on the chair, and asked solemnly, "Why, forgot the gift of seeing the Son of Heaven?" ”

"I've seen Your Majesty!"

When I came to Zongdao, I still made a big gift.

And the Apocalypse also seemed to have accepted this result, showing the calmness and composure of an emperor, and said, "Tell me, why do you want to confine me here? ”

Tianqi said and looked at Ye Chengxue: "Ye Chengxue, I didn't expect you to do this, you won't say it again, you pretend to agree to them." ”

Lai Zongdao answered for Ye Chengxue at this time: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you will be disappointed." This time, Dajin Wu didn't pretend to agree, but really wanted to help us succeed. Last time, he was just forced to agree, but this time, he took the initiative to agree. We only showed up after seeing him imprison you. ”

In the Ming Dynasty, the commander of the Jinyi Guard was often honored as the Great Golden Go, and the official department was often called Otsuka Zai, and the Ministry of Rites was often called the Great Zongbo.

Therefore, Lai Zongdao also called Ye Chengxue as "Da Jinwu" at this time.

Apocalypse sneered: "Say, what do you want to do." ”

"Naturally, I ask Your Majesty to give an order to abdicate to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, abolish all new policies, and punish the Duke of Sui for the crime of treason! Destroy their own people! ”

Lai Zongdao took out a holy decree as he spoke, and said: "Will, the minister has already prepared the will, just wait for His Majesty to agree, and then make the prince and the old man approve it." ”

Apocalypse asked coldly, "What if I don't agree?" ”

"Your Majesty still agrees, if Your Majesty doesn't agree, you can only die violently, if you agree, you can still save a life."

After coming to Zongdao, he said: "Besides, Your Majesty, don't you like carpentry and drilling skills, you can camp here for a lifetime." ”

engulf

Apocalypse asked again, "You can't wait to abolish me?" ”

"That's right, can't wait!"

Coming to Zongdao, he replied without hesitation.

Then, Lai Zongdao said: "The minister realized that when he couldn't afford to wait, he couldn't care so much. Sima Wenzhenggong also didn't want to have regrets after his death, so he didn't hesitate to abolish all the new laws of Xining before closing his eyes! How could the minister want to close his eyes and not see the time when the chaotic government of His Majesty and the Duke of Sui Guo was in ruins! ”

"That's why you don't hesitate to take risks? Don't hesitate to risk the disaster of the Nine Clans to force me? ”

Apocalypse asked with a sneer.

Lai Zongdao nodded: "Your Majesty has always been smart, and you can understand how intolerable the ministers are to today's political affairs!" ”

Before this, when Lai Zongdao talked to Li Guopu about the fact that he couldn't bear to change the law and the new policy, Li Guopu sighed because Li Guopu mentioned that their old ministers would probably not be able to wait for the day when the new deal was abolished, and he did have the idea that Ning Hao gambled and didn't want to see the new deal abolished when he died.

"I understand, just as I couldn't tolerate bad things before."

Apocalypse replied.

Lai Zongdao next took a step back directly, and arched his hand: "Therefore, please agree to the abdication of Chan, punish the national thief, and abolish the new policy!" ”

Wang Tiqian also stood up and said, "Emperor, agree, so that you can still save your life." In fact, this is no loss for you, you have always been reluctant to take charge of the government personally, even now, it is only to let the people of the Department of Planning monopolize the power of the government, and now, it is just to hand over the power to the elders of the cabinet. You can also do carpentry and engage in research and development. And it is also the honor of the emperor of the ether, which is even more glorious! ”

Apocalypse said, "Do you think that if you put me under house arrest, my brother-in-law and the ministers of the Department of Planning, the ministers of law change, will be at your mercy?" ”

"Your Majesty, you are worried, as long as you give an edict and agree, there will be soldiers and horses to destroy the Suiguo Mansion!"

Come to the sect and return to the Tao.

Tianqi stood up, took out a revolver firing handgun in his hand, and said: "This is a novice gun designed by Bi Maokang of the Xishan Industrial Division in accordance with the concept of Uncle Zhang Gui and me. However, the cost is very expensive, and it requires skilled craftsmen to build carefully, and the yield is low, which costs a lot of silver. However, I haven't killed anyone with him yet, so I might as well try it with you today. ”

After hearing this, Lai Zongdao snorted coldly: "Your Majesty has always loved Uncle Heguo to use these strange skills to make some novel firearms, we know it. But Your Majesty, don't you think it's ridiculous that you want to kill people with it now? The minister has already said that this time, Dajingo took the initiative to conspire with us, and he will not fight against the water again. If you dare to pick up the handcuff again, you can be assured that they will not hesitate to fill your body with crossbow arrows! ”

Apocalypse still picked up the handcuff.

Seeing this, Lai Zongdao hurriedly shouted: "Da Jinwu, do it!" ”

Ye Chengxue did not move.

Lai Zongdao couldn't help but shout urgently: "Do it!" ”

Poof!

Suddenly, Cheng Zenghui of Guanglu Temple, who was behind Lai Zongdao, a bloody sharp knife appeared on his abdomen, and the blood on the sharp knife fell to the ground with a click.

Zeng Hui glanced at it subconsciously, and then looked back, only to see Ye Chengxue with a calm face, behind him, gritted his teeth and sent the knife forward.

Zeng Hui felt a pain all over his body, and said to Ye Chengxue with all his strength for a while: "Da Jinwu, you are." ”

"Your Majesty, in order to avoid startling the snake, the minister thinks that it is better to use a knife, and the sound of the handcuff is easy to be noticed by people outside."

Ye Chengxue pulled out the embroidered spring knife as he spoke, and then he put the knife between his elbows, bent his elbows, puffed up his biceps muscles to press the knife surface, and slid the knife surface with his right hand, wiped the blood on the knife surface, and slammed it into the back of Ge Guichao, the left attendant of the military department.

"Well, then it's up to you."

Apocalypse withdrew his handcuffs, sat down in his chair, and began to recuperate behind closed doors.
