Chapter 90: The Forced Palace Begins

Li Hao couldn't move forward, but he didn't delay others to come and find him, especially Chen Xi.

After he received Li Hao's summons, he immediately withdrew from the capital and rushed to Chenzhou.

It's just that when he really arrived in front of Li Hao's Jinyiwei branch, Chen Xi unconsciously stopped.

This time, he really made his own opinion, although he was also loyal, but after all, he violated the order, and he didn't know how to face Li Hao for a while.

And this scene happened to be seen by Ren Xin, who was about to go out, as the person who had been following Li Hao.

Ren Xin knew that in Li Hao's heart, although he was a little annoyed, he didn't intend to kill him.

Otherwise, Li Hao gave an order to directly let him commit suicide in the capital, so why call him over.

Therefore, Ren Xin was also willing to sell Chen Xi's personal favor, and immediately said, "Since Gonggong Chen has arrived, why don't you go in, Your Highness is in a good mood today.

But if you wait for a long time, I'm afraid that this good mood will also become bad, what do you say?"

Chen Xi understood what Ren Xin meant when he heard this, and said gratefully, "Thank you Miss Ren for mentioning it, and the little one will go in."

After taking a deep breath and calming the tension in his heart, Chen Xi stepped into the branch and came straight to the door of Li Hao's room.

With a plop, he fell to his knees and said in a loud voice, "Slave Chen Xi, come and ask His Highness for his sin."

Chen Xi has been in charge of Jinyiwei for many years, and the people in the branch know each other.

Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but look at each other, and they didn't dare to disturb, so they quickly dispersed and emptied the courtyard.

Chen Xi's voice of pleading guilty, Li Hao also heard it in the room, but Li Hao did not make a sound, but looked at the book by himself.

didn't get a response from Li Hao, Chen Xi didn't dare to get up, so he kept kneeling outside.

It wasn't until Ren Xin came back from a circle outside that he saw that Chen Xi was still kneeling, so he entered the room.

said to Li Hao, "Gonggong Chen is still kneeling outside, and you can't see it."

"This is what he wants to kneel for himself, and I didn't make him kneel, if he can't stand it, he has to get up by himself."

When Ren Xin saw Li Hao say this, he didn't understand Li Hao's thoughts.

Then he asked curiously, "You didn't plan to kill him, so let him kneel here in front of so many Jinyi Guards, how will he manage it in the future, are you really going to let me help you manage Jinyi Guards all the time."

Li Hao smiled when he heard this, "Why, you don't want to."

Ren Xin replied: "I don't have anything unwilling, anyway, I didn't care about it in Zhu Yiwei before, it's just a little accidental.

After all, even if it is an Anguo with a slightly higher status of women, after marriage, most of them are husbands and children at home, and few of them are still in charge of affairs outside after marriage."

"So you think that after I marry you, I will let you stay in the harem, but like you, are you still the Ren Xin I know?"

Li Hao said with a smile: "Si Chenzhi said, I have never cared too much, and I didn't think about detaining you as a caged bird.

Of course, Jinyiwei will definitely not be handed over to you, after all, Jinyiwei will definitely surface and become a yamen under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

The secret work of the spy is too secretive, if you let the harem manage it, if something goes wrong, you will have to be sprayed to death by the courtiers."

This is the first time Li Hao has said his plans for Ren Xin in the future.

Ren Xin was aroused by curiosity and asked, "Then what errand are you going to arrange for me?"

Li Hao smiled: "Why do you want me to arrange it, you can also think about it yourself, what you like to do."

As long as it's not too outrageous, I'm willing to support you."

After hearing this, Ren Xin fell into deep thought and began to think about his future.

Li Hao looked at Ren Xin's rare stunned appearance, and couldn't help but smile.

It's just that thinking that Chen Xi was still outside, Li Hao finally spoke: "Okay, you can think about this matter slowly anyway, just tell me when you think about it, and call Chen Xi in now."

Ren Xin came back to his senses, went over and opened the door, and put Chen Xi

Called in.

This kneeling time is too long, even if Chen Xi has internal strength, this leg is still numb.

I could only grit my teeth and move in step by step with difficulty.

Seeing Li Hao's face, Chen Xi was about to kneel down again.

When Li Hao saw him like this, he said, "Don't kneel, stand and talk."

Chen Xi still stubbornly knelt down: "Your Highness Xie is kind and compassionate, but the slave maid made her own opinion, and almost broke into a catastrophe by disobeying His Highness's order, and asked His Highness to punish him."

Seeing this, Li Hao didn't ink anymore, and said, "It's good that you know that you're wrong, but for the sake of your loyalty, you will go down to lead the thirty troops into battle, even if it is a small punishment and a big precaution.

In addition, I will warn you again today, Lone does not need to be self-righteous and loyal, if he reoffends, then there will be no chance of turning back."

Chen Xi bowed to the ground: "Yes, the slave must remember His Highness's teachings."

The matter of playing the board, Jinyiwei naturally has someone to do, Li Hao directly called someone, and dragged Chen Xi down for execution.

Li Hao personally handed over the task, and the people of Jinyiwei naturally did not dare to be merciful.

After the battle of the Thirty Army, even if Chen Xi's physique was better than that of ordinary people, he was completely open, lying on the ground and unable to move.

It's just that Chen Xi is secretly happy in his heart, because he knows that after this meal, this mistake will be considered in the past.

In the days that Li Hao stayed in Chenzhou, the situation in the capital changed greatly.

First of all, Zheng Zhuo and Ming Song, who were arrested one by one at dawn under the full sweep of the forbidden army led by Gongyegu.

The first offender was uniformly imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, while the rebels were taken out of the capital and imprisoned in a location because of the large number of people in the city.

Of course, only some of them were caught, and many rebels, after knowing that the forbidden army had entered the city, did not choose to confront it head-on, but fled directly with the looted gold and silver.

Therefore, an important task of the follow-up forbidden army is to clear them one by one in the capital, so as not to leave any hidden dangers.

Especially in the Imperial Palace, it was the first place to be heavily raided, after all, the rebels had entered the Imperial City.

If there is a person hidden in this corner, and then meet Cui Ming and them who come back, it will be dangerous.

It is precisely for this reason that Cui Ming did choose to live in the forbidden army camp temporarily, as Wang Kun expected, so that if there is any political matter, the minister can come here directly to report.

It's just that in the past few days he has been in the camp, there has really been no twist.

A few, still led by Wang Kun, got a little bit on how to punish Zheng Zhuo and others.

Although Cui Ming felt a little strange, considering that the capital had just been changed, the courtiers were in an undecided mood, and they might not react so quickly.

It's just that Cui Ming didn't know that the courtiers in the capital were being secretly guided in tandem at this time.

This time, the rebels only tossed in the capital for one night, and Zheng Zhuo and others spent most of the rest of their time only targeting the princelings, and it is said that the losses of the courtiers should not be large.

But in fact, this is not the case, because except for Zheng Zhuo, the firearms battalion adheres to the principle of making things bigger.

With the intentional cooperation of Gongyegu, he fished in troubled waters in the dark.

Although he did not cause any personal injury, under the pretext of Zheng Zhuo's name, he also made many ministers' mansions restless.

In order to arouse the anger of these people, and take advantage of the situation to guide Cui Ming's mediocrity and incompetence, and the remarks of favoring female cadres.

In addition, with the connivance of Gongyegu and Wang Kun, Cui Ming's cowardice of retreating from the battle and taking the initiative to abandon the palace and flee was also widely publicized, so that almost everyone in Mandu City knew about it.

Let these remarks slowly ferment, in order to make Cui Ming lose his heart of the government.

Correspondingly, about Li Hao's virtuous name, it must be pulled out at this time, so that it can be compared.

Of course, among the civil and military forces of this Manchu Dynasty, there must be a few people who noticed that the situation was wrong and wanted to report to Cui Ming

Target.

But the problem is that these people didn't see Cui Ming at all, but were arrested and detained quietly.

After all, the right to speak now is in the hands of Wang Kun and Gongyegu, and if you are suspected of colluding with Zheng Zhuo to rebel, you will have it.

It is also reasonable to detain you in the mansion and wait until it is clear.

After rectifying a few thorns, the rest of the people naturally did not dare to provoke themselves.

And most of the people who can perceive the problem are smart people, and they probably understand what the situation is at this time.

Under the general trend, people who want to fight for the dragon's work are more active.

Seeing this scene, Wang Kun felt more relieved, after all, if Cui Ming was to be forced to abdicate, it couldn't be their group of princelings who started with it, because the traces were too heavy.

Although Cui Ming must know it at the beginning, he still needs the fig leaf that should be there.

It was not until Wang Kun felt that the fire was okay that Gongyegu returned to Daying and informed him that the capital had been cleaned up and that he could return to the palace.

At this time, four days had passed since the day of the mutiny.

Back in the palace, Cui Ming couldn't take care of recuperation, and even the imprisoned Zheng Guifei and others ignored it for the time being.

directly held a court meeting the next day, planning to deal with Zheng Zhuo and them well.

But before he could speak, the courtiers took the initiative to stand up.

At first, Cui Ming listened to their hatred of Chen Zhengzhuo and others, and he felt the same way, but the more he listened, the more wrong it became.

Because this topic began to be pointed at themselves, where could Cui Ming endure it.

immediately began to go crazy, after all, from Cui Ming's point of view, he was so frightened this time, these courtiers didn't think about it, and even turned the spearhead, which was simply a mess.

But the problem is that in this matter, Cui Ming still insists on saying that he can't win.

So he planned to use the emperor's privileges to pull people out to fight in the court.

As a result, with Cui Ming's order, the ministers standing in the palace instantly knelt down, allowing Cui Ming to take back his life.

Cui Ming looked at the group of people kneeling down in front of him, and suddenly realized in his heart that the situation was not right, how could there be so many people against him.

However, Cui Ming didn't reflect on himself for the first time, but became even more angry, feeling that his emperor's majesty was threatened.

When he got up, he angrily rebuked, "I have made up my mind, and if anyone intercedes for him again, he will be beaten with him and dragged him out for me."

But those courtiers who knelt down, under Cui Ming's threat, none of them backed down, and shouted one after another: "Please Your Majesty retract your order, otherwise we will be punished together."

Cui Ming was a little waxy at this time, and it was impossible for him to really beat most of the court.

But Cui Ming, as the emperor, can't be directly softened, otherwise the emperor's prestige will really be gone.

In the past, at this time, someone would come out to solve the siege, but this time the situation is different.

Those courtiers who can stand out and are willing to come forward have already appeared before, and they are still being detained by Wang Kun at this time.

There was no way, Cui Ming could only name himself, and among the courtiers who did not kneel, he found Wang Kun and asked him what he thought.

At this point, Cui Ming thought that Wang Kun would help him, but he disappointed Cui Ming again.

Wang Kun said directly: "The minister thinks that what your colleagues said, although it is a little ugly, but it is also honest and loyal, and I ask Your Majesty to withdraw your order."

Cui Ming didn't expect to be backstabbed by Wang Kun, and he was angry for a while, only to feel dizzy.

Fortunately, Hu Neijian, who was waiting by his side, realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him sit down, otherwise he was afraid that Cui Ming would fall directly.

By the way, Hu Neijian also advised: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, everything is based on the dragon body."

Sitting on the dragon chair, Cui Ming breathed a sigh of relief before reopening his eyes.

His eyes swept over the ministers in the palace, as if he wanted to keep them all in his heart.

Then he got up directly, didn't say a word, and returned directly to the harem.

Before leaving the main hall

After that, Cui Ming and Hu Neijian asked, "These days, Gong Yegu has been reporting on clearing the rebels in the palace and has repeatedly obtained something, but this is true."

Hu Neijian replied: "The slaves and maids don't know this, since General Gongye entered the palace, he said that in order to facilitate the investigation of thieves and ensure the safety of the inner servants and palace maids, let me and others try not to go out.

Therefore, the slaves and maids have been staying in the Xianchi Hall for the past few days, and they don't know anything about the situation outside."

Cui Ming saw that he couldn't ask anything from Hu Neijian, but suddenly remembered Yan Xulai, and then realized that he didn't seem to have seen him for a long time, which was very wrong.

As the most well-informed intermediary organization, if you want to say that the Hou official did not find out the news of Zheng Zhuo's rebellion in advance, then Yan Xu should also come to ask him for guilt, how could it not appear, unless something went wrong.

Therefore, after returning to the palace, Cui Ming immediately sent someone to pass on Yan Xu and let him enter the palace to see him.

It's just that this edict did not reach Yan Xu, but first arrived at Wang Kun and Gongyegu.

Gong Yegu asked, "Your Majesty summoned Yan Xu, most likely because he already had doubts in his heart, so should he let Yan Xu enter the palace?"

Wang Kun thought for a while and said, "There are some things that we can't say well, so let's let Yan Xu go and give His Majesty a wake-up."

Gong Yegu was still a little worried, after all, this matter was related to his family's net worth: "But Yan Xu has been in charge of the Hou Guan for many years, and he is His Majesty's confidant, will there be any variables for them to meet."

Wang Kun replied, "Don't worry, Your Highness has already made arrangements, and the current Yan Xu is just an empty shelf, and he can't turn over."
