Chapter 703: Arrested

Gao Feng also woke up from his emotion at this time, took the holy decree very respectfully, took the holy decree, came to the side of the Empress Dowager Zhang, and said: "The Queen Mother, Your Majesty wants to use the seal, and please ask the mother to come out with the treasure of the edict!"

While saying that, Gao Feng also glanced at the Empress Dowager Zhang and asked the Empress Dowager Zhang to keep quiet. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Today's Empress Dowager Zhang, in addition to being a mother in the world, is no longer able to exert influence on the government.

Even if she knew that the emperor in front of her was the person she hated, and it was also the evil obstacle left by Zheng Jinlian, she was helpless and could only compromise on it.

At the moment, she didn't say anything, just nodded lightly, and agreed to this holy decree, and then opened a secret compartment from the seat next to her, took out the treasure of the Son of Heaven, and solemnly used the jade seal on top of this holy decree.

After the jade seal was sealed, this holy decree already had practical significance, Gao Feng saluted the Empress Dowager Zhang, and then rolled up the holy decree, Xu Bu walked to Ma Yongcheng and Gu Dayong, and called Zhang Yong, and said: "Your Majesty's will has been issued, the three of you go to implement it quickly, be sure not to make the two factories and one guard continue to follow Liu Jin to make trouble, and the expert factory must be eliminated as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" Ma Yongcheng and Gu Dayong also didn't expect that at this time, Gao Feng still dared to use himself, and they all glanced at Gao Feng with great gratitude, and then followed Zhang Yong, respectfully carrying the holy decree, to carry out the holy will.

Seeing that the holy decree had left the Fengtian Temple, Zilong was a little relieved, and then said: "Now that the holy decree has been issued and the security is handed over to the Jingying, then I hope that the Jingying can prepare as soon as possible, and from now on, the nine gates will be closed, no one will be allowed to leave the city without an edict, and the whole city will be under martial law, and I must be arrested until Liu Jin is arrested!"

Those uninformed ministers thought that the emperor was extremely angry at Liu Jin's betrayal and killing of ministers, so they ordered the nine gates to be closed and Liu Jin arrested.

There are only a limited number of people, but they know that Zilong's order is actually to ask Jingying to rescue Zhengde, and not to let Liu Jin harm Zhengde.

For a while, the important ministers who knew about it were quite agitated in their hearts, and they only felt that they and the others really did not choose the wrong candidate, and they couldn't help but glance at each other, full of relief.

Then Cheng Guogong even went out of class to salute with his fists, and said loudly: "The old minister has the order, so I will go down and arrange it, if I don't catch Liu Jin, I will not return to the court!"

Now Cheng Guogong also sees that the center has Li Dongyang and others to assist Zilong, and there will be no changes, so he also wants to rescue Zhengde as soon as possible and kill Liu Jin.

After all, no matter how good Zilong is, he is more popular than Zhengde, but after all, he is just a second son with an unjustified name, not only has he never been known by the world, but even the genealogy of the clan has no record of him.

Therefore, Zilong can replace Zhengde for a while, but he can't replace Zhengde I after all.

Unless Zhengde returns to the throne in the future, redresses Zilong's life experience, and then corrects Zilong's name, and then passes the throne to Zilong, it will be feasible.

Seeing Cheng Guogong say this, Zilong knew that he understood what he meant, so he immediately nodded with a smile, and after instructing Cheng Guogong to be careful, he followed Cheng Guogong and led many generals to withdraw from Fengtian Palace.

At this time, the basic stability maintenance work was almost carried out, Zilong was about to rest for a while, and then discuss with the ministers, how to unify the voice of the Fengtian Temple today, but Xu Guangzuo, the Duke of Dingguo, suddenly came out of the queue and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have a play!"

Although Xu Guangzuo's prestige has gradually increased because of the recent series of events, after all, he has not yet reached the level of Chengguo Gong and British Duke, so he actually doesn't know about Zilong's replacement of the emperor for the time being.

At this time, he thought that the emperor really took advantage of Liu Jin's inattention and secretly ran back, so when he thought of Fang Cai's matter, he couldn't help but want to come forward to admonish.

Zilong didn't know what happened when Xu Guangzuo came out, but when he came out, Zilong had to cheer up, raised his hand weakly, and motioned for him to continue.

Xu Guangzuo was also not polite, and got Zilong's consent, so he directly pointed at the Empress Dowager Zhang, and said with an indignant face: "When Liu Jin tortured His Majesty just now, although I was reminded by the Queen Mother, let me see through Liu Jin's conspiracy, I should be grateful to the Queen Mother!"

But after thinking about it, there are no less than fifty ministers in this hall, and the queen mother is just a weak woman, how can she find out that Liu Jin is secretly making trouble before us?

Therefore, the minister thought about it again and again, but finally realized that it must be that the Queen Mother was actually involved in Liu Jin's rebellion, but in the end, she woke up and couldn't bear to harm Your Majesty, so she stopped halfway!

However, even so, the Queen Mother and Liu Jin are in the same stream, I am afraid that it is an indisputable fact, so she has also committed a serious crime! The minister implores His Majesty to order someone to take down the Queen Mother and interrogate it clearly!"

"Huh?" The ministers and the queen mother, including Zilong, were all shocked.

They didn't expect that now that Liu Jin's chaos was not over, Xu Guangzuo hurriedly pointed the finger at the Queen Mother, with what he just said, it was as if the Queen Mother did not fall, but he did not let go.

Li Dongyang's face was also a little ugly, and he was in a dilemma when he stood still.

He is not a stupid person, just now the Queen Mother was able to expose Liu Jin's conspiracy, judging from that tone, it seems that the Queen Mother is also involved in Liu Jin's conspiracy!

But since Li Dongyang became the prime minister, he has been blessed by Empress Dowager Zhang from behind, so that he can stand tall for so many years in this court with Liu Jin in power.

In addition, in the eyes of outsiders, Hongzhi and Empress Dowager Zhang are really close to each other, a rare story in the world, how can Li Dongyang bear to see Empress Dowager Zhang being attacked and imprisoned?

At the moment, although he knew in his heart that Empress Dowager Zhang might have participated in Liu Jin's rebellion, he still came forward to ask: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is my mother of the Ming Dynasty, and she should be the mother of the world! How can she be directly put in prison for trial because of a little speculation, the old minister really dare not agree!"

Xu Guangzuo had several-for-tat confrontations with Empress Dowager Zhang before, and when thousands of horses were together, under the command of Zilong, Li Dongyang was rescued.

Originally, he thought that now that he came forward to bring down the Queen Mother, he was afraid that no one would object, and he didn't want to be the first to object, Li Dongyang, whom he had just saved.

This made Xu Guangzuo look confused, and said a little strangely: "Xiya Gong, be cautious! This dynasty has always involved rebellion, and it is all a crime that is not forgiven, and now the queen mother is suspicious, but how can she stay out of the law?"

Zilong actually knows a lot about the Empress Dowager Zhang, and even knows that the Empress Dowager Zhang colluded with Liu Jin to frame her mother and pretend to be her brother's son.

Therefore, Xu Guangzuo proposed to investigate the Empress Dowager Zhang thoroughly, and he was actually extremely happy in his heart, so he wanted to order it directly.

But Li Dongyang's opposition also made him hesitate.

Although Li Dongyang's words were not clear, what he meant was actually saying that Empress Dowager Zhang was the mother of the Ming Dynasty, and a casual thorough investigation was to humiliate the Ming Dynasty.

Now this emperor is not the willful Hu Lai Zhengde, but Zilong, who likes to think twice before acting since he was a child, and even Li Dongyang is against it at the moment, and he doesn't want to directly use his personal wishes to influence this matter.

I just want to see what these important ministers think. At the moment, he didn't speak, just glanced at the ministers below.

At this time, the Duke of Chengguo and the Duke of Britain have already taken the generals down, to close the nine gates, and arrest Liu Jin, and the important ministers in this Fengtian Palace, in addition to the civil officials headed by Li Dongyang, are the lords like Zhu Youqi, the king of Xing.

Zhu Youqing, these lords, although the title is quite high, can shade the descendants, but since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, especially after the success of Taizong Zhu Di, these vassal lords are only Gaojue Houlu, and have no right to participate in politics.

Therefore, seeing that the "emperor" glanced at it, these lords and ministers just kept silent, but the ministers all opened their mouths to express their opinions.

Originally, the ministers should have followed Li Dongyang, but when it came to the Queen Mother and Liu Jin, some ministers also asked for a thorough investigation of the Queen Mother, but some ministers felt that the state affairs were too big to be thoroughly investigated.

For a while, both sides insisted on their own words, and they almost quarreled.

Zilong sat on the dragon chair, and he also had a headache.

No matter which side it is, it seems to be reasonable, but it makes him choose.

When the ministers on both sides were in a bit of a quarrel, the Empress Dowager Zhang, who had been silent, suddenly said loudly: "Zhuqing, if you still recognize the mourning family as the queen mother, why don't you listen to the mourning family first?"

What is the Empress Dowager Zhang doing now, after all, there is no conclusion yet, even if Xu Guangzuo accuses her in public, he can't directly veto him.

Seeing her speak, the ministers gradually quieted down, and looked at the Empress Dowager Zhang together.

Zilong is also the same, he wants to know how this vicious woman will defend herself at this juncture.

Unexpectedly, what Empress Dowager Zhang said made Zilong a little surprised, and only heard her say: "Yes, Xu Guogong is right, the mourning family knows some of Liu Jin's bad deeds......"

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar, and the ministers who were originally defending Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't help but be filled with righteous indignation.

Even Liu Jin's henchmen such as Cao Yuan deliberately pretended to be dissatisfied at this time, and almost scolded Empress Dowager Zhang.

Li Dongyang sighed even more faintly, knowing that it was useless to say anything more, so he had to stand with his hands down and not say more. Zilong felt extremely strange, why didn't this woman confess to herself?

Seeing that the ministers below were angry, Zilong also didn't want them too much, and in addition, Emperor Zhengde's identity was still the son of Empress Dowager Zhang.

At that moment, Zilong coughed lightly again and said, "Zhuqing, be quiet, the queen mother's words have not been finished yet, what are you anxious about, where are all the daily self-cultivation efforts?"

On weekdays, Zhengde is above the court, giggling, and he doesn't look like a king. The ministers are also accustomed to it, but they are more casual in front of him, and to say that it is ugly is to ignore him.

Now Zilong said these words as a righteous person, even if the ministers felt a little strange, but after all, the emperor was a king, and they were ministers, so they had to bow their heads and confess.
