Hearing the news that Liu Zhennian was arrested, Su Zongshan finally relieved himself to issue a document and called a bold clerk to drill into Lu Yingshan's army, shouting, "The Liu thief is dead!" Those who descend will not be killed! He held the paperwork high in the air and rode his horse for several laps.

Lu Yingshan's soldiers saw the seal on the document from afar, and heard the eight words shouted by the secretary office clearly, so they were angry, abandoned the armor, or scattered and fled, or rebelled, Lu Yingshan blocked everywhere, how could he stop it, fell off his horse in a panic, and was killed by the rebels.

The surrounding fires slowly extinguished, the sky darkened, and the streets where the corpses were piled up fell silent for a moment, and the officers and soldiers had taken control of the streets. Cun Zhao and Taisu knelt down to accept the paperwork, and when they heard that the Liu Party had been wiped out, they immediately washed their faces with tears, raised their heads and cried, and the whole army also cheered; After the joy passed, the second division of the ban ordered everyone to clean up the battlefield and release a wide road, so that the whole army could pull out, leave the forbidden, and go to the side hall to meet the emperor.

The second secretary bowed to the emperor and recounted the hardships of the past few days, and the listeners were all moved. At this time, Su Zongshan and others had gathered in the palace, and after the emperor comforted the soldiers, he was embraced and returned to the palace, and the ministers of each class also returned to the official office.

"Dare to ask, is Your Majesty going back?"

The eunuch who was sweeping the floor felt that someone was patting him, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that it was Ye Yongjia from the Ministry of War, holding a document in his hand, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"Yes," the eunuch picked up the broom, "and he was escorted back to the dormitory. ”

"Oh...... Thanks a lot. ”

Ye Yongjia hugged his fists, hurriedly turned around, and strode into the gate of the forbidden middle school along the road he had come.

The moonlight was obscured by heavy clouds, there were no lights on the road where the battle had just ended, and a rancid smell was still wafting. Ye Yongjia couldn't see the road in front of him clearly, so he could only walk cautiously until he saw the closed gate, and the vermilion paint still reflected a little light. This door would normally be open, but today it was closed because of the turmoil outside.

"Please report to the emperor by the defenders!" Ye Yongjia knocked on the door, "Let's just say that Ye Yongjia has something important to see!" ”

"Is it Lord Ye?" The defender turned his head, raised a torch, and shone it on his face.

"See clearly?" Ye Yongjia took a step closer.

"Okay, go to the palace immediately and tell the emperor." With that, the defenders took their torches and walked down the tower.

Ye Yongjia stood up straight and waited, looking at the two huge palace doors with serious eyes, thinking sharply about what to say; But gradually, after waiting for a long time, he became a little overwhelmed and began to lose his mind.

He didn't know how long he waited, he came back to his senses, and suddenly looked around, but it was still the same as Fang Cai, and it was very silent, except that he could hear the crow flapping its wings in the distance, perhaps chasing the flesh of the corpse there.

Ye Yongjia felt uneasy in his heart, and slapped the gate twice, but no one responded at all, so he had to pace under the palace gate.

Another half hour passed, and there was still no movement inside. He looked anxiously at the sky, but he couldn't see the moon, and he didn't know what time it was. His legs and feet were numb, so he had to sit down against the city wall, and secretly thought, 'Could it be that Comrade Chen is really tricking me?' But now that the emperor is in charge of the government, everything is arbitrary, what can be done by him? It may be that the company is afraid of being implicated...... No, no, he couldn't have known about the letter...... Forget it, maybe I'm thinking about everything, but Your Majesty is physically and mentally exhausted, maybe he fell asleep. It's better to stay here until tomorrow, and wait for the palace door to open in the morning, and I will go in to report! He thought he had a plan, so he simply did not sleep tonight, and with the letter in his arms, he planned to stay up until dawn.

It was dawn. Ye Yongjia hadn't closed his eyes for a day, but he could see that the morning glow reflected the sky red, and those tiredness were swept away by eight or nine points.

'It's almost time to open the door......,' he couldn't hide his excitement, and seemed to tremble, and he thought, 'I have been accustomed to hypocrisy since I became an official in Beijing, and I have not done anything in a dignified and clear manner when I mingled with those hypocritical gentlemen. Now that there is such a God-given opportunity, I have put my life on the line, and I will also drag those wicked people into the water! ’

"The Holy Emperor is coming, and the idlers will avoid it!"

With a few crisp gongs, the two palace doors were gradually pulled open by the eunuchs, and the emperor's car was greeted by them.

Ye Yongjia hurriedly got up, straightened his hat, walked straight to the road, and stopped the emperor is kneeling: "Weichen Ye Yongjia has something important to do!" ”

The guards on both sides saw a figure rushing from the oblique thorn, and they were really panicked, and immediately stepped forward with a few arrows, and they were about to draw their swords, and they had already seen Ye Yongjia's face clearly.

"What's the matter, tell us, my lord?" They asked with a smile.

Ye Yongjia's gaze did not move an inch, and he stared closely at the golden curtain on the car: "This situation is confidential, it is only appropriate to play with Your Majesty!" ”

"Ahem," the emperor coughed twice behind the curtain and waved his hand, "What is Ye Qing playing about?" ”

Ye Yongjia fell to the ground when he landed: "It's evidence about the Liu Party." ”

"Ye Qing doesn't have to be anxious, I went out of the palace this time to announce this matter," the emperor's voice was smiling, "Someone, read the holy decree to Ye Shangshu!" ”

"Yes!" The eunuch who followed took the edict, unfolded it and read it: "The evidence and confessions found in the Prime Minister's Mansion are all complete, and I have read the Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, and the charges are reasonable. A total of 16 of the literati who assisted in the rebellion are listed on the left: ...... A total of 69 officers assisted in the rebellion, listed on the left: ...... Quickly order the division to ask the guilty according to this, and clarify the canonical punishment in order to promote the law of the country. The rest don't ask, admire! ”

When Ye Yongjia heard this, it was like a thunderbolt from a sunny day, which shocked his heart, and his eyes were stunned.

"Ye Yongjia, why haven't you accepted the order?"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! He kowtowed five or six times in a row, and shouted heartbreakingly, "The evidence handed over by Dali Temple is not complete, I still have a letter in hand, which is extremely critical, and please let me play it!" ”

The emperor deliberately showed a little embarrassed, and when he saw the eunuch with the holy decree, he was also annoyed: "Lord Ye, you have been a Beijing official for many years, why, don't you even understand the emperor's rules!" The Son of Heaven is full of words, how can he say that he will accept it? If it's important, why don't you hand it to Dali Temple and the Criminal Department yesterday? It's useless to talk more, Lord Ye hurry up and go away! ”

Ye Yongjia looked at the curtain that was rolled up by the breeze, and was stunned for a long time before he gently spit out a few words: "Okay, okay...... Wechen will retire. So he moved his knee to the side of the road, and watched the wheels of the royal driver run over the bluestone road.
