The tall palace wall blocked the fighting in the palace at this moment, and the people outside the Great Xia Gate were still celebrating their prosperity and wishing the two saints good health for ten thousand years.

And the fire in the palace is still burning, the thieves have already prepared, tung oil plus wind help, Fengzao Palace has been burned half of it.

The dragon guards, Yu Lin Lang and the imperial army joined forces to search all parts of the harem, and the number of thieves who were strangled has exceeded 100 people, many of whom are not members of the thieves who were assassinated this time, but they are also people with evil intentions, and they were easily suppressed by the army.

Dai Quan stood at the highest point of the Forbidden City, looking at the brightly lit but smoky Six Palaces, and sighed: "The emperor is the most forbearant person, and he can endure until this time before he makes a move......

Things may be sudden, but in this matter, the biggest profit is definitely the stubborn fourth man on the dragon chair.

After the fireworks display, the people were reluctant to disperse, and always focused on the people who brought them a prosperous era that was rare for a thousand years.

The Emperor Taishang looked at the dense crowd of people in front of him who kept chanting long live, and he couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.

"Fourth, you have to do better than being a father!"

"That's a good teaching from my father, if I don't have my father, where will I come from?"

The emperor's lord can really be said to be flying coolly, with a humble mouth and a happy heart. If it weren't for the old father's feelings, the corners of his mouth would have reached the root of his ears.

Even if the emperor was restrained enough, the old man still saw his son's pride.

"Okay, there's a long way to go, so where is this...... If you do this, you have to be said to be mean and unkind, and you have to add another name to killing. Fourth, are you really ready to be the enemy of the Manchu Dynasty? ”

The palace has become like this, and the military camp outside the city has also become a venue for the two sides to fight, and the emperor has been fighting with his courtiers for a lifetime, how can he not guess the emperor's thoughts.

The fourth child didn't want to endure it anymore, he was going to kill on a killing spree, and use this sudden assassination to have a big purge.

If it succeeds, no one will dare to say no to the emperor's new laws and policies in the future.

If you lose......

No, the fourth child has no possibility of defeat at all.

After ten years on the throne, the fourth child relied on forbearance to hold the power tightly in his hands step by step, and cultivated a large group of courtiers loyal to him.

The most important thing is that the fourth child's biggest reliance is not on the courtiers, but on the ......

"Long live the saint, long live your majesty!"

"Ten thousand years of Great Xia, ten thousand years of Your Majesty!"

The emperor was always waving to his people in the cold wind.

The Emperor understood that his son was better than him.

His son's biggest reliance is not even the civil and military ministers who are loyal to him, but under the new policy of Yuan You, the old are dependent, the young are raised, fed, clothed, and have spare money to enjoy life!

Sure enough, after hearing the Emperor's question, the Emperor glanced at a group of people in the right corner, and the corners of his mouth were sarcastic.

He whispered: "Father is too worried, if the son still has some scruples before." But nowadays, they are insignificant! As long as I shout in front of the people to escort and quell the rebellion, I can immediately have an army of 10,000 people...... Father, this country and society are guarded by the people after all. As long as the ministers keep the people of the world fed and clothed, they can use their flesh and blood to forge the Great Wall of steel, and guard these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains for me and for themselves! ”

For the first time, the Emperor Taishang felt that his fourth child had stood taller than him and looked farther than him.

Eat and dress warmly, these four words can only be written for a few breaths, but they are the real prosperity that Zhaowu has not been able to do in 50 years.

Perhaps, this is the will of God, which made him choose the fourth child to inherit the throne!

"Saint, emperor, Concubine Xian Niangniang and Princess Wen'an have come down with their little palaces......"

Well?

The emperor looked for a voice, only to see Xia Shouzhong bowing down to report, but he didn't see Yuan Chun and the others.

"Where are the people? Why don't you come up? ”

Xia Shouzhong's expression was strange, he glanced at the military generals and harem concubines who had gathered their eyes, and took a deep breath and said: "Back to the emperor, Niang Niang said that she was stained with blood, and I am afraid that she will disturb the holy ......."

There are not many people who know that something happened in the palace, and many people are surprised after hearing Xia Shouzhong's words.

And the Emperor Taishang has heard the mystery in it, and it seems that there are also thieves in Fengzao Palace......

He immediately glared at the emperor angrily: "Look at the good things you did, you actually let the thieves disturb my good grandson!" If I had known this, I should have sent a large army into ...... directly."

"Father!"

The emperor interrupted the old man's words with a rare frown, and supported the old man, who was already trembling a little with anger: "Let's let the virtuous concubines come up first, and some things should be said in the open." ”

"Emperor, what the hell is going on?"

The conversation between the two saints had already made everyone on the city tower hear that something was wrong, and the Empress Dowager Cao came to the two saints with the support of the female official.

The emperor had no choice but to appease his mother-in-law again, but he simply said that there was a thief in the palace, and he had already arranged for someone to deal with it......

"The concubine will meet the saint, the queen mother, and your majesty!"

When Yuan Chun and the others climbed the city tower, the knife in their hands was still scarlet.

It was bitterly cold in winter, and the blood stained on the knife had long been frozen on the blade.

Daiyu, who was standing beside Yuan Chun, had blood on her cheeks, and the ritual knife, which was originally used as a pendant, was tightly held in her hand.

The old lady couldn't care about the rudeness in front of the king, shook off Mrs. Xing, who was supporting her, staggered over, grabbed Yuan Chun and Daiyu and asked eagerly.

"My son, what happened? But where did it hurt? ”

The old lady's eager and poignant cry brought everyone on the city tower back to reality from their shock.

saw that Yuan Chun supported the old lady who was about to go limp.

Daiyu threw the knife in her hand to the ground, wiped her face with her hand, and the color of the blood stain did not decrease by half.

However, she still smiled with crooked eyebrows, and said softly: "Grandmother don't worry, my mother and I are fine, this blood may have accidentally splashed on my face when I killed the thief." ”

Whether you know the inside story or don't know the inside story, take a deep breath at this time.

Especially Wenchen, who was familiar with Lin Ruhai, looked at the gentle Tanhualang with strange eyes.

"Ruhai, this is what you told me before, your weak girl who can't take care of herself and grew up in a medicine jar?"

Don't talk about other people, Master Lin is confused!

How could his delicate daughter be so skilled in saying the word murder out of her mouth now?

Confused is confused, but why does he Lin Ruhai feel inexplicably proud?

The emperor did not avoid people, but asked about what happened to Yuan Chun in front of everyone.

At this time, Yuan Chun's palace was covered with blood, but it did not reduce her brilliance in the slightest, but made everyone feel that it was a powerful female general standing in front of them.

"When Zhong Cui Palace went to the water, the concubine felt that continuing to stay in Fengzao Palace might become a bargaining chip for thieves to blackmail His Majesty, so she gathered the palace people and rushed out of Fengzao Palace together...... The leader of the black-clothed thief was very strong, but fortunately his cousin had a firearm and killed him with a single shot while he was not looking...... Later, the concubine killed two people, and the cousin killed another person...... General Liu arrived in time to stop the thieves......"

Yuan Chun said carefully, and everyone listened more carefully.

Those officials and dependents only felt thrilling and bizarre.

When everyone was lamenting the bizarre experience of Concubine Xian Niangniang and Princess Wen'an, only one of the imperial historians suddenly said loudly: "It's really ridiculous, the forbidden middle is the residence of the Son of Heaven, and so many thieves have been mixed in, what are the forbidden soldiers doing?" ”

"That's right, how can there be so many thieves in the palace?"

"When did the defense of the forbidden China become so bad? Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the forbidden army should be strictly investigated, and this matter must not be done without internal and external collusion......"

"Yes, it must be collusion between inside and outside, otherwise the well-defended palace ban will be easily mixed in by thieves!"

It seems that they have found a breakthrough, and the imperial historians almost poured out of the nest and aimed the spearhead at the three guards in front of the palace.

To be precise, it is aimed at the warriors.

If it were in the past, many people would think that this was another civil and military dispute. But this time, the royal historians really ran into a dead mouse with a blind cat, and they were blinded right all of a sudden!

The emperor looked coldly at the column of Wu Xun, and his gaze was directed at those people who were not high-ranking officials, but mostly idle positions.

Among these people, there are several royal relatives surnamed Liu, and almost all of them have the clan titles of General Zhenguo and General Fuguo.

The rest are all princes and nobles who have been inherited since the founding of the country, even if they have lost the glory of the founding of the country, but these people have at least one rank of general, and they have more or less influence in the army.

Regardless of whether they were involved in tonight's incident or not, according to the secret investigation of the Dragon Guards in the past few days, these people and some people in the Wenchen have colluded and colluded, and they want to attack the strategy of reforming the official system in the Zhengdan Dynasty tomorrow.

Now that we have this good opportunity tonight, what are we going to do with these people? Chinese New Year?

"What Zhu Qing said is right, what happened in the palace tonight is indeed someone colluding inside and outside, wanting to give me a dismount!"

The emperor smiled coldly, and suddenly shouted: "Liu Zan, Liu Gan, Liu Zhiyu...... Shi Qingzhi, Rong Haiqi, Zhang Zhen, Lu Shiyao...... Do you think that I am too disobedient, and want to kill me and sit on the dragon chair obediently, so that you can blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes! ”

Whoa......

"The ministers don't dare (the ministers are wronged), please let Your Majesty know!"

The emperor counted nearly 30 names in a row, and for every time one person was ordered, one person would kneel down with a pop.

In fact, the matter had become a conspiracy in plain sight, and by the time the Emperor named these men, it was already clear to them that their conspiracy had been exposed.

However, most of them didn't know what happened tonight, they just wanted to put pressure on the emperor jointly, and they didn't think about assassinating the emperor, which really wronged them.

Only a few of them, even if they knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said words begging for mercy, they still lowered their eyebrows and lowered their heads, and their eyes showed hatred.

"Why don't you dare? They all dare to plant people around me, dare to provoke and bewitch the soldiers of the forbidden army, and shout the slogans of the soldiers to admonish the Qing Jun, why don't you dare? ”

The emperor's voice became colder and colder, and his tone was colder than the cold wind on the castle tower.

At this time, Zhou Jiong, the first assistant of the cabinet, stood up and said quietly: "Qingjun's side? It seems that the old man has become a 'treacherous minister', I don't know what the old man's crimes are? Oh~ The old man understands that if you reform the official system, you can't rely on the merits of your ancestors to shelter and lie at home and enjoy wealth and power. ”

Zhou Jiong's words can be regarded as the key, and it is in line with the emperor's next plan.

He can endure thieves killing people and setting fire in the palace, isn't he planning to abolish the moths that hinder the reform of the official system in the court?

Zhou Qing is right, they don't think so, so they jumped up and down, connected in tandem everywhere, and did such a shocking thing. If it weren't for the vigilantness of the forbidden army, maybe I would have really become the first son of heaven to be killed by a courtier in Great Xia! ”

"Your Majesty is angry!"

"Anger? Anger? No, I don't have anger, only coldness! ”

The ministers and officials on the city tower bowed down one after another, and the people below the city tower were shocked by the scene on the city tower.

The people in front could still faintly hear a few words, such as assassination, collusion, thief, etc., all of which were words that made them creepy.

Is this someone going to assassinate the emperor of the Great Sage?

At first, the people were still whispering, but when the emperor's figure reappeared on the edge of the battlements, everyone stopped talking almost at the same time, and the gathering of 10,000 people was a silent spectacle.

The emperor stood quietly by the battlements, looking at the people who were silently bowing in front of him.

He shouted below, "My people, tonight someone is going to kill me, to kill your emperor......"

"Your Majesty~"

The civil and military officials on the city tower were shocked by the emperor's sudden action, and they all opened their mouths to stop the emperor's behavior.

The assassination of the king by a courtier is a scandal in the world!

What is the face of the court? What kind of face will they, the ministers of civil and military affairs, have to face the people in the future?

Even the emperor's own majesty may be compromised.

After all, the dignified emperor was so hated by his own courtiers that he wanted to be assassinated......

"Kill the thief and protect Your Majesty!"

Rumble~

I don't know who shouted such a sentence first, and the originally silent crowd suddenly stood up like a volcanic eruption, clenched their fists one by one, raised them high, shouted, and stared angrily at the civil and military ministers on the city tower.

"Kill the thief!"

"Kill the thief!"

"Escort! Escort! ”

The crowd was boiling, and tens of thousands of people were angry, and the sound was like a sharp knife, constantly rushing up to the city tower.

Those who had been named by the emperor before had pale faces and couldn't help but want to retreat.

But I didn't know when dozens of Han generals were standing behind them, and they were detained one by one in an instant.

The people below the city already showed signs of storming the palace gate in their anger, but the emperor was not worried, but instead glanced at those who had been detained with disdain.

"Can you see clearly? The conspiracy of the Ghost Demon is completely vulnerable in front of my people! ”

The emperor just raised his hand towards the people under the city and made a downward motion, shouting that the people who were about to rush into the palace stopped their steps in an instant, and looked at the son of heaven in a red dragon robe above one by one.

"My people, you need not worry. There are loyal ministers in the palace, who have exterminated the thieves and arrested the treacherous ones with evil intentions......"
