He wasn't the only one who couldn't sleep tonight, and he immediately felt much more comfortable.

"Tell them, I'm asleep...wait a minute, tell them 'the emperor said, he's asleep', go." Zhu Xu lay down and said happily.

The inner eunuch outside was startled, pondered for a while, and after making sure he remembered it, he whispered: "Yes." Then he walked away quietly.

Not long after, he came to Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong and others, and conveyed Zhu Xu's words.

"You mean, the emperor said he was asleep?" Bi Ziyan immediately caught the loophole and said coldly.

The inner eunuch bowed slightly and said, "Yes."

Sun Chengzong and Zhang Wenda glanced at each other, their expressions slightly concentrated.

This shows that the emperor didn't know everything, even more than they knew, he knew they would come!

Bi Ziyan put on the air of "chief assistant", stared at the inner supervisor and said in a deep voice: "What else did the emperor say, say it verbatim!"

The current eunuch is different from seven years ago, the eunuch looked hesitant, and said after a while: "That's all, the emperor didn't say anything else."

Bi Ziyan took a look at him, his face sank like water, and his thoughts flew like flying.

They all fell into a cliché, thinking that the emperor didn't know yet, and they were given time to end the matter before the emperor.In hindsight, apparently not.

Since the emperor knew about it a long time ago, but there has been no movement, he must have taken the opportunity to do something.

Bi Ziyan thought for a while, then turned to look at Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong naturally thought of it, and shook his head slightly, indicating that he couldn't think of it.

Bi Ziyan took a deep breath, his face was sullen, he didn't leave, and he didn't speak.Now they are in a dilemma. If they retreat, they can't deal with the matter. If they advance, the emperor will not see them at all.

Zhang Wenda's heart was heavy, but he was still rational. He glanced at the eunuch not far away, stepped forward and whispered in Bi Ziyan's ear: "Could the emperor know who is behind the scenes?"

Bi Ziyan turned his head and glanced at him, frowning even tighter.

Few are alive now who know Wei Zhongxian's secret, and one of them, Wei Zhao, is in the hands of the emperor. If the emperor knows something, that's for sure.The question is, why did the emperor keep holding back?From Yang Lian, Fu Changzong to the current King Jing, the emperor has never intended to do anything.

What is he going to do?

Seeing that these three people refused to leave, the inner supervisor took a step forward and said: "Three adults, please go back."

Bi Ziyan glanced at him, groaned, and suddenly said: "Go and tell the emperor again, we must face the saint, no matter how long we will wait!" Although the emperor gave him support in the cabinet, the matter of Prince Jing If it is too big, the cabinet will be involved, and he doesn't know the emperor's intentions, so he is always uneasy.The emperor, who came back from Beijing, no longer had the previous "impulse", which made him even more uneasy.

The inner eunuch frowned, and for some reason, a picture of Ye Xianggao and others breaking into the palace to force Emperor Tianqi suddenly appeared in front of him, his expression suddenly became serious, and he said: "Old Bi Ge, the emperor has always been tolerant, and he also respects you very much." Plus, but some things can't pass."

Bi Ziyan looked slightly startled, and said, "What do you mean by your father-in-law?"

The inner supervisor said: "Old Bi Ge, let's go back." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Bi Ziyan looked at his back with a thoughtful expression.

Sun Chengzong stepped forward and said: "It seems that the emperor has made up his mind. Prince Jing should know something. If the emperor can't find out a little bit, maybe he can ask Prince Jing."

Bi Ziyan shook his head, and said, "Since King Jing refuses to see me, it must be difficult for him to accept this matter. Your Majesty, I'm afraid it will scare us again."

Sun Chengzong was puzzled, looked up towards the direction of Jingyang Palace, and said: "Since the emperor is willing to give the cabinet great power, it doesn't make sense to even weaken the six ministries... What exactly is the emperor going to do?"

This is also the doubt in Bi Ziyan's heart, and he can't understand it.

"Perhaps, someone knows." Suddenly, Zhang Wenda interjected.

Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan were startled, and turned to look at Zhang Wenda.

"Fu Changzong." Zhang Wenda said concisely.During several cabinet discussions, Fu Changzong's attitude changed quite obviously. In addition to his special status, he must know some inside information.

Bi Ziyan nodded slightly with his eyes flickering, and said: "He won't say anything, since the emperor won't say anything, then we just have to wait, after dawn, everything will be decided."

Sun Chengzong hoped to pinch the disaster in his head, but right now he could only wait for the incident to happen and see how the emperor would deal with it.

Zhang Wenda wanted to save it, but now he could only watch the Donglin Party's doom, and sighed with endless emotion in his heart.

Chapter 812 Consolidating Imperial Power and Power

This year's weather is really strange, it is surprisingly cold in November, there is no cold snap, it seems to be suddenly cold.

The rooster crowed and seemed a little listless, the sky was getting brighter, and the capital was gradually bustling amidst the bleakness.

The first bustling place was the Governor's Council. For some reason, a group of people arrived early at the same time, and they all worked very hard.

"Hey, Mr. Li, you came early?"

"Hehe, yes, several supervisors in Shaanxi have implemented it. I am watching it here. If there is any problem, I plan to go to Shaanxi to see for myself."

"Master Li is so serious in doing things, I am ashamed..."

"Be courteous and courteous, it's all my duty, I can't say it's serious..."

"Master Liu, are you here so early?"

"Don't mention it, there is another disturbance in Henan. A few people offered bribes and extorted bribes in order to enter the Governor's Council. The Anti-Corruption Bureau has just been transferred. I guess I have to go out in person..."

"You want to go out too, are you in good health?"

"I have worked hard all my life, and I have long been used to it. Besides, can I not care about the affairs of our Governor's Council?"

"That's that's..."

"Master Han, are you going out?"

"Oh, that's right, I'm going to Shanxi. It's too outrageous over there. It's really outrageous over there. More than a dozen people actually started fighting in the governor's office. The governor Zhao is so angry that he wants to dismiss them all. , No, the playbook has arrived, I have already told the vice president, I will go there now, if I don’t go, I don’t know what will happen..."

"oh oh……"

Even though I said that, it was the first time I saw so many people rushing out of Beijing all at once.

Some people who heard the news are now full of regrets and failed to find a reason to leave Beijing. They are secretly trying to leave Beijing to avoid this maelstrom.

Obviously, some rumors about Prince Jing have spread silently in the officialdom, and the Governor's Council is the hardest hit area.

In another small courtyard, Wei Xuelian looked at the letters of complaint, his eyebrows were not eyebrows, and his face was not his face.

He has lived here quite a lot, and has a lot of experience in handling cases. Although these complaint letters are well written, he can still tell at a glance that most of them are fabricated. There is only one thing that he really can't refute: "Prince's body, arrogating to be an official".

In this era when the patriarchal clan is more powerful than the sky, violating the ancestral law is a serious crime!

However, Prince Jing has been in the Governor's Council for too long. He has been in politics for more than a day or two. Many people, including him, are already used to Prince Jing's presence.

Habit is also a kind of horror, which can challenge the "ancestral system". For example, although Wei Xuelian knew that this was a violation of the "ancestral system", he had no obstacles in his heart, and he did not feel that there was any treason, and Prince Jing should not be brought down like this.
