Ma Jin, who was sitting in the Heart Cultivation Palace, did not feel the slightest sleepiness.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to rest." Wang Chengen walked to Ma Jin's side in small steps and said softly, Ma Jin couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Wang Chengen.

"Boy, how are things going?" Ma Jin looked around cautiously and asked in a whisper that he couldn't wait.

"Your Majesty! The old slaves have already been arranged," Wang Chengen said, and suddenly knelt on the ground and touched the ground with his head after speaking.

"The old slave asked His Majesty to forgive his sins, and without His Majesty's will, he took the initiative to replace all the eunuchs and palace maids in the Heart Cultivation Palace."

Ma Jin was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Wang Chengen, who was kneeling on the ground and was sincerely afraid, worthy of being a trusted eunuch favored by Emperor Chongzhen, and he did not leak a drop of water, he didn't expect this at all, Ma Jin immediately helped Wang Chengen up and said with a smile.

"Companion, this move is exactly what I want, where did you come from?"

Wang Chengen got up, bowed down and said: "This is an eventful time, and the old slave is also worried about His Majesty's safety and fear of leaking the news, so he has no choice but to replace them all." ”

"Hmmm! Otomo did this very well! In the harem, the big companion will do it, you don't have to ask me for instructions on everything, I don't believe who else you can trust! ”

After Ma Jin finished speaking, he strode towards the gate of the hall and walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace. I saw that the twilight outside the hall was dull, the moon and stars were scarce, and the hazy night reflected the majestic and magnificent Great Zhou Palace City like a fairy palace in the sky.

A sudden gust of cold wind blew Ma Jin's cold spirit, and his somewhat muddy head suddenly sobered up a lot, and he looked around and looked around at the few little eunuchs who were familiar with him in the past, and there were more than a dozen tall young eunuchs, all of whom looked around with cold faces.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps came from the night behind him, and Ma Jin turned to look only to see a middle-aged man in a purple robe with a fiery red complexion walking towards him.

"Minister, Lu Bing, the cabinet leader of the Internal Guard Mansion and the envoy of the Imperial City, see Your Majesty!" When the powerful middle-aged man saw Ma Jin, he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and bowed.

Ma Jin stared at Lu Bing, who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, and the thoughts in his mind turned like lightning.

Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard of the Ming Dynasty, was born in a noble family, was the most trusted person of the Jiajing Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the only official in the Ming Dynasty who served as the three dukes and the three orphans.

After just a short groan, Ma Jin stepped forward and pulled Lu Bing up and said with a smile

"Wenfu, let's get even."

Lu Bing got up and stood with his head down, not daring to look at Ma Jin, but he could feel that the emperor was looking at him, and followed Ma Jin into the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Returning to the dragon chair, Ma Jin's eyes were sharp, staring at Lu Bing and Wang Chengen, there was no sound at all in the spacious hall, and the air seemed to be frozen.

After a while, Ma Jin finally spoke.

"Lu Bing! Wang Chengen! ”

"The old slave is here!"

"The minister is here!"

The two couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief and bowed down to reply.

"Then the five hundred internal guards can enter the palace with you?"

"Your Majesty, all the five hundred guards have entered the palace and are under the orders of His Majesty." Lu Bingzhong replied angrily.

"Okay, Aiqing really lives up to my expectations! Otomo, what did I ask you to prepare? Ma Jin praised Lu Bing when he heard it, and asked Wang Chengen again.

"Your Majesty, the old slave has recorded all the people in the palace who had an affair with Li Shifang." Wang Chengen took out a book from his arms, held it up with both hands and handed it to Ma Jin.

Ma Jin took it and opened it to take a look, and Ma Jin, who saw a string of official names, was dazzled and angry.

The inner chamberlain left led the eunuch Zhou De

Shang Shan Jian is in charge of eunuch Du Heng

Wang Dexiang, the chief eunuch of the Inner Government Supervisor

Zhang Yi, the eunuch of the right leader of the ordnance superintendent

Qian Liang, the deputy chief eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor

·········

The list included almost all the most important secretaries of the inner court, which made Ma Jin shocked, and his heart was furious, and he stood up abruptly and threw the song on the ground.

"What a Li Shifang, this traitor!"

"What does he want to do, rebel! Look, is this still my palace? Is it still my world? ”

"Lu Bing!"

"The minister is here!"

"You immediately lead the people to capture all these traitors according to the list, and don't let one go! If anyone resists, kill them on the spot! Ma Jin said murderously.

"Wang Chengen, you go and pass the decree to Yang Zaixing, immediately block the nine gates of the palace, allow him to enter but not leave, and let him send troops to cooperate with Wenfu to arrest the rebels!"

"Oh, yes! You let Yang Zaixing send troops to guard the palace of the Queen Mother and the former emperor's concubines, just in case! ”

"The old slave obeys!"

"Do it now! I am waiting for your good news! Ma Jin said in a deep voice.

Wang Chengen and Lu Bing glanced at each other, bowed to Ma Jin, and said, "Wait for the ministers to retire!" Then he slowly retreated to the front of the main hall, and then straightened up and turned to leave.

Ma Jin looked at the figure of Wang Chengen and the two leaving, and gave him a thunderous blow when Li Shifang couldn't react, and wiped out all his cronies in the palace, this is what Ma Jin thinks now.

Because the ancestral system of the Great Zhou Dynasty held a great court meeting on New Year's Day, the East Solstice, and the Wanshou Festival, the civil and military officials above the five grades in the Shendu must participate, and today is the winter solstice, and it is also the time when the Great Dynasty will be held.

……

Just as the Ten Thousand Souls were in the twilight, the sound of footsteps and the sound of iron armor crashing suddenly resounded throughout the palace in the silent palace city, which naturally alarmed countless eunuchs and palace maids everywhere.

The sleeping Empress Dowager Xiao in Cining Palace was awakened by the sound outside the hall.

"Someone, hold the lamp!" The palace maid who was waiting in the palace heard the order and hurriedly lit the palace lamp.

"Wan'er, go outside the hall and see what's going on?" Xiao straightened up,

The Queen Mother Xiao is only forty years old, and her appearance is still gorgeous, only to see her good-looking brows frowning and commanding.

Standing beside her, a pretty female official hurriedly saluted and walked out of the hall.

Lin Wan'er walked out of the palace gate, only to see a team of Qianniu guards wearing helmets and armor outside Cining Palace, which had surrounded the inside and outside of Cining Palace.

"Bold, why are you besieging Cining Palace late at night and not afraid of killing your head?" Seeing this, Lin Wan'er sharply questioned Captain Qianniu Wei standing in front of the palace gate.

The captain of the Qianniu guard saw the pretty palace maid who came out of the hall and questioned him, because he didn't know what it was, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Seeing this, the little eunuch on duty at the palace gate hurriedly stepped forward and introduced to the captain of Qianniuwei: "This is the female official of the Queen Mother, Lin Wan'er, the head of Cining Palace."

Hearing that it was a celebrity around the Queen Mother, Captain Qianniu Wei hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "I have seen Chief Manager Lin, and the lowly rank is ordered to guard the Cining Palace to prevent the rebels in the palace from disturbing the Queen Mother." ”

"Against the party? What against the party? Lin Wan'er was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty is okay?" ”

"Your Majesty is blessed with the sky, naturally it is unharmed" The captain of the Qianniu Guard arched his hand to the sky and hugged his fist.

Hearing this, Lin Wan'er breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and at the same time she was extremely confused, the Qianniu Wei in this palace is all led by the queen mother's own nephew, if there is any emergency, you should tell the queen mother first, and it is impossible to ask the emperor first, right?

Lin Wan'er was puzzled, and said suspiciously: "Which official is on duty in front of the palace today, this deep palace forbidden garden is so tightly guarded, how can there be a traitor mixed in?" ”

"Back to the words of the chief of the forest, the palace is on duty today is General Yang Zaixing Yang of Zuo Qianniuwei, as for the anti-party, I don't know about this humble position, but I heard that... It's not from the outside... It seems to be an inner ghost. The captain of the Qianniu Guard said quietly.

Lin Wan'er was stunned, the ghost... How can it be?

"You take me to General Yang immediately," Lin Wan'er ordered, and as soon as she stepped forward, a spear was placed across her chest,

"Mr. Lin, stop! His Majesty strictly decrees that no one is allowed to move around the imperial city at will, and do not be embarrassed by his humble duties! ”

Lin Wan'er angrily pointed at Captain Qianniuwei, her face suddenly became stern, and she shouted angrily: "You... You... What a guts! How dare you stop this official! Even if you wait for Shangguan Xiao Cong, you don't dare to be so presumptuous in front of this official! ”

The captain of the Qianniu Guard's face sank, and the long knife was half pulled out of its sheath and shouted to Lin Wan'er: "Your Majesty has an order, anyone in the palace is not allowed to move around wantonly in the palace, and those who violate the order will be punished for rebellion and killed on the spot!" ”

Lin Wan'er looked at the killing intent in front of her, and couldn't help but take a few steps back in a panic, and her heart was full of excitement.

"You... You... All right! You wait for me! Lin Wan was furious in her heart, and she didn't dare to make any moves, so she could only throw her sleeves and walk towards the hall.
