Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Now the four sergeants who assassinated Admiral Wu and the two assassins who killed the mouth have been captured, if you don't hurry up at this moment to take the Tu Tu La, Tu Erxun and the party, this group of officials will jump over the wall in a hurry and do something rebellious, I am afraid that it will cause a national shock." ”

Wu Biqi said: "Please make an immediate decree from the Holy Lord, and order the ministers and others to immediately lead the Jiumen infantry to lead the Yamen barracks and the patrol camp, and arrest all the Tulu and the party, so that they can avoid disaster." ”

Emperor Yan pondered for a long time, and said in his heart: "The catalogue is definitely going to be caught, but I haven't fully controlled the situation yet, if I catch it now, the situation will be turbulent again, and the catalogue and the party will be all arrested, then I will have no one available, and the new science and scholar I want to rely on will not be of great use." But if you don't catch it now, when Catalogue Lap and others really jump over the wall, it will cause national turmoil. ”

Emperor Yan paced back and forth, and after a stick of incense, he made up his mind and said: "Tu Le La, Tu Erxun and others are suspected of plotting to assassinate the members of this dynasty, this crime is very big, Wu Biqi led the infantry battalion and patrol battalion, arrested several people quickly, and escorted them to Dali Temple for care, and then made a decision when the matter is clarified." In addition to Tu Le La, Tur Xun and others, the ministers of the DPRK and China who are close to Tu Le La and Tur Xun must not arbitrarily detain and arrest them, and must not harm innocent people. He also summoned Admiral Longdlang, the guard camp outside the city, to immediately freeze the entry and exit of the soldiers of the capital guard camp, and no one could enter or leave the barracks without my hand edict and the Tiger Talisman for the transfer of troops. ”

The two of them took the decree and went.

Sun Zhaoyuan said in his heart: "It's a pity that the Son of Heaven has added a will that cannot involve others, otherwise I can ask Nuyid to blame and solve my trouble." ”

The infantry battalion of 20,000 people and the patrol battalion of 5,000 people want to arrest people in the capital, but it is easy, even if Tu Catalogue and other human rights are inclined to the government and the opposition, and there are many families, but compared with these 25,000 soldiers, what is it, the sky is not clear, Tu Catalogue La, Tu Erxun, Qian Zhen and others were arrested and taken to Dali Temple.

Dali Temple Qing Tao Quanzheng, Pingsu and the catalogue are not very coordinated, Emperor Zhiyan will explain this matter to Dali Temple, is to deal with the meaning of the matter quickly and seriously. The case was not complicated, there was already a confession of the infantry commander Yamen who assassinated the four Governor Wu and the two exterminators, and in less than a month, all the joints were sorted out, including how Tu Catalogue La arranged the deployment at that time, what he said, and so on. The Son of Heaven listened to the report and said, "This case can be said to be the first major case since I ascended the throne. I never imagined that some small mustard among officials could attract two confidential ministers and a member of the imperial court to design the murder of the emperor and other officials. Thinking that there are such brutal ministers in this dynasty, I am really ashamed of my ancestors and the first emperor. But it has come to this point, and no matter how much I blame myself, it will not help. The two main criminals of Tu Catalogue and Tur Xun were given to death, the sergeant assassin was beheaded, and the five accomplices Qian Zhen, Su Zhexun, A Xunling, Long Bixi, and Hu Luchi were dismissed from their posts, assigned to the frontier, and never again hired. The rest of the officials, I know that you are all close to Tulu, but this matter is not a major case of rebellion, and it is not yet a case of rebellion, so the ministers, you must also give me a good life to do errands, and you must not cross the thunder pool by half a step, otherwise these people will end up as an example. ”

When all the officials saw that they were not implicated, they were relieved and shouted long live, as if they were relieved.

Emperor Yan continued: "Of the four confidential ministers, two have been killed for crimes, and only two remain. The political affairs are heavy, and I am afraid that the two ministers will not be able to bear it. What I mean is to re-establish a key department, the Cabinet, to be in charge of the country's political affairs, and all the comments will be written by the Cabinet, and then reported to me, and I will review it. The two Confidential Ministers, Satulu and Kindeha, are of course in the Cabinet and are designated as Cabinet Ministers. In order to alleviate the burden of the two ministers, I again ordered Nuyid, Lu Buyun, Wang Jifeng, Xiang Qimin, and Yang Zuo to join the study cabinet to assist Satulu and Jindeha in handling political affairs. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said in his heart: "After the Tulu La is killed, in order to stabilize the political situation, Emperor Yan does not dare to implicate the Tutu La party, otherwise the political situation is unstable, which will lead to the three kings taking the opportunity to make chaos. Therefore, Emperor Yan is now mainly stable. And because Tu Tu La died, no one restrained Satulu and Jindeha, if the two joined forces to commit a crime, Emperor Yan would not be sure of victory, so he re-established the central political body, increased the number of ministers, and dispersed the power in the hands of the two. These two people are now shocked by the destruction of Tu Catalogue and others, and they dare not make any objections. It's just that Nuyd also entered the upper study, which is very unfavorable to me. ”

Emperor Yan said: "Now that the whole country is unified, only the hanging island has not yet been conquered, which has become a big problem for my henchmen, the diet is tasteless, and I can't sleep at night." My intention is to send a person of noble status to the hanging island to appease Li Yongding, if the hanging island falls, in order to avoid the trouble in my heart. I have been thinking about this recently, and I think that only by appointing Prince De can I do this errand. From now on, Prince Zhide set off for Hanging Island to recruit Li Yongding to appease the hearts of the people. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said in his heart: "This is to take the opportunity to dig a big hole for Prince De." How many imperial generals did Li Yongding kill, he knew that he would not be allowed to the Nie Er clan in the later period after being recruited, and he would definitely resist to the end. If Prince De went to Hanging Island and disagreed, Li Yongding killed Prince De, and Emperor Yan borrowed Li Yongding's hand to cut off the trouble. If Prince De did not die, and there was no Zhao'an on the hanging island, then Prince De was ordered to stay on the hanging island and let him fend for himself, so that it would not have much impact on the court situation. ”

After Sun Zhaoyuan thought about it, he didn't feel that he had a little more respect for Emperor Yan's strategy to control the court situation.

Nuyd said: "Since the minister has entered the council, he should make a statement to the saint. The minister believes that although Prince De has a prominent status, he has not been to the court for a long time, and he does not know much about the situation of the Hanging Island, and Prince De also needs the help of alert people around him to give advice and advice, so as to complete this errand. The minister recommended Sun Shiyu to accompany Prince De to the hanging island and handle the surrender errand together. ”

After listening to this, Sun Zhaoyuan knew that Nuyid also saw Emperor Yan's intentions, and by the way, he pulled himself into the water, maybe he borrowed Li Yongding's hand, except for himself.

Sun Zhaoyuan was just about to speak, when Emperor Yan said, "I also think that with the wisdom of Sun Zhaoyuan, he is worthy of this position. Thinking that the soldiers under Nanuhachi gathered to mutiny, Sun Shiyu led his soldiers to use shields to separate the two groups of soldiers who beat each other, Sun Shiyu is also a talent who responds to emergencies, and he will definitely be able to help Prince De complete his errands. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan's heart was suddenly shocked, he thought that Emperor Yan valued him very much, and he would definitely come forward to reject Nuyid's proposal, but he didn't want to, Emperor Yan agreed to Nuyid's performance. Isn't this to make yourself jump into the pit with Prince De? Sun Zhaoyuan was a little disheartened, and said in his heart: "Sure enough, ruthless is the emperor." ”

It was night, Sun Zhaoyuan was still on an errand, but Emperor Yan didn't know what happened behind him, and said, "Sun waits to read." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan was in a trance, was startled, and when he looked back, it was Emperor Yan. hurriedly bowed to Emperor Yan and said, "I don't know that the saint has arrived, and I have missed the welcome, please forgive the saint." ”

Emperor Yan sat on the chair next to him and said, "Get up." I am in the court today, and I ordered you to go to the hanging island to assist Prince De, do you know the deep meaning of me? ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "The saint is far-sighted, and the ministers can't reach it. I don't know what the saint is, please make it clear to the minister, and the minister can do the errand according to the will of the saint. ”

Emperor Yan said: "Since you know about Prince De's rebellion, and you have always been thoughtful, it is best to leave this matter to you." I sent Prince De to the hanging island, so that I was spared a great trouble, and it was also a blessing for the community. I was a little worried that Li Yongding would see my intentions and conspire with Prince De to endanger the community. So, you know what I mean? ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "The minister knows the Holy Heart, and he will definitely find a way to prevent the two from colluding and being embarrassed." ”

Emperor Yan didn't say it directly, and Sun Zhaoyuan didn't answer specifically, but the meaning of the two of them already understood each other. Emperor Yan was satisfied, nodded, and went out. It can be seen that he likes smart people like Sun Zhaoyuan very much.
