Unparalleled Concubine

Zuo Pu shot righteously, looked up at Xiao Zheng, and said coldly: "In this world, the biggest thing is the rules left by the ancestors, the principles left by the ancestors, the skills of swords and spears may be able to kill lives for a while, but in the end It's an obscene trick, not worth mentioning."

"I dared to come to Weiyang Palace to speak directly to the emperor today, and I would have spared my life and wealth. If Eunuch Xiao wants to kill him, just come and kill him."

Zuo Xiang sneered: "We all have disciples and old officials. Before entering the palace today, we have left all the cause and effect to the disciples. If we don't get out of the imperial city tonight, the matter of the emperor messing with his mother will be made public. If we die in the imperial city, this case will be written into the history books, and it will not be washed away in 100 or 1000 years!"

Shen Kuan was expressionless.

"The young son of heaven messed with his mother, refused to be remonstrated, and killed ministers in Weiyang Palace!"

This is the hateful thing about literati. They are indeed useful most of the time, and they can shepherd the land and calm the people. But if they try to play tricks, not many people in this world can play with them, especially among these scholars. stand out.

Before they entered the palace, I'm afraid they had thought of many escape routes for themselves, but now they were covered with thorns, which could not be touched or touched.

As soon as these few words were spoken, not only Emperor Yuanzhao, but also Xiao Zheng was very angry. He snorted and said in a deep voice: "I just invite you all to sit at the Shangshutai, and the truth will be revealed tomorrow morning." Afterwards, I will naturally let you gentlemen go home."

As he said that, Xiao Zheng waved his hand and said coldly: "Please go to Shangshutai, gentlemen."

The inner guards are under the control of the inner guards, and the inner guards are controlled by the inner guards, so Xiao Zheng is regarded as the indirect leader of the inner guards. He said that these wolf-like inner guards immediately brought several prime ministers out of Weiyang palace.

Before Yan Shouzhuo was taken away, he bowed deeply to Emperor Yuanzhao.

"Your Majesty, since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, there have been no eunuchs involved in government affairs. It's fine if your Majesty doesn't listen to his ministers. Everything depends on the eunuchs. Do you want to set a precedent for the use of eunuchs in the Jin Dynasty?"

Yan Sikong cried blood and tears every word.

"In the past, there were countless examples of eunuchs monopolizing power in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Will Your Majesty be the first foolish emperor in the Jin Dynasty?"

Emperor Yuanzhao's face turned red from anger, and he patted the table angrily.

"Take them down for me, take them down!"

The inner guards immediately came up and dragged Yan Shouzhuo to leave. The imperial censor was still struggling and refused to leave. Several big men supported his shoulders and "lifted" him out of Weiyang Palace.

After all these prime ministers left, Emperor Yuanzhao, who was sitting on the main seat, had a livid face.

He sat on the soft couch, took several deep breaths, but still couldn't calm down the anger in his heart, he gritted his teeth.

"These people are bullying me too much!"

"You bullied me too much!"

Xiao Zheng walked up to Chu Guiren who fell on the ground, stretched out his hand to check her breath, then raised his head to look at the emperor, and sighed slowly: "Your Majesty is too impatient, there is still more than a year before His Majesty will be able to govern personally, no matter what Whatever your Majesty wants to do, you can do it slowly after more than a year, there is no need to offend these scholars at this time."

"Now, it's hard to end things..."

Emperor Yuanzhao gritted his teeth and did not speak.

He remembered Li Xin's answer to him, telling him to wait for another year and a half with peace of mind, to be in charge of the government smoothly, and not to be impatient.

But he didn't listen, and insisted on taking charge in advance, and now something happened.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yuanzhao looked up at Xiao Zheng, and said with a wry smile: "Last year, Mr. Li knelt in front of me and asked me to take charge of the government. At that time, as long as I nodded, I could easily take over all these assistant ministers." Abolished, the logical pro-government..."

"Master Li did it too easily."

The emperor closed his eyes and smiled bitterly: "It's so easy that I thought I could do it with ease. I thought that as long as I grasped some of their handles like Master Li and put them in the court meeting, I could take them out of them logically." The position of the assistant minister, take charge of the government in advance..."

"I... think too little..."

Hearing the emperor mentioning Li Xin, Xiao Zheng ordered the palace staff to carry the noble man away, while sighing slightly: "Mr. Ascending to the throne, he has not suffered any losses no matter where he has been in for more than ten years, and he can stand up to some things unscathed, but your majesty..."

"It's still too young."

Emperor Yuanzhao sat slumped on the soft couch, a little at a loss.

"Xiao Zheng... what should we do now?"

"Let the governor come into the palace first."

Xiao Zheng slowly opened his mouth: "This kind of thing happened in the palace, and the servant has a responsibility that cannot be shirked. This matter will be explained to His Majesty early tomorrow morning, but the court still needs the assistant minister, the governor, to stabilize it. , try not to cause trouble..."

"Hou Jingde from the left battalion of the forbidden army, and He Song from the right battalion, please come into the palace. Your majesty must try to win their support. With them standing behind your majesty, there will be no great turmoil in the capital."

Having said that, Xiao Zheng paused, and sighed helplessly.

"also……"

"Your Majesty, please write a letter to Lord Li. You are his student and the nephew of the eldest princess. It is impossible for Lord Li to sit back and watch you being bullied by a group of old men..."

Chapter 905

Today's emperor, in fact, has some regrets in his heart.

If he had known that things would get to the point where he is today, even if the imperial court used force against the Southwest, he would have endured it for more than a year, and waited until he was in power before doing what he wanted to do. Although it would be difficult to clean up, it would not be so Dilemma like now.

That night, the emperor sent people to invite the governor, Ji Lin, into the palace overnight. At the same time, he sent people to guard the houses of Shen Kuan, Yan Shouzhuo and the other two prime ministers, and prohibited anyone from entering or leaving.

Habayashi Wei and Qian Niu Wei began to closely monitor the capital to guard against suspicious persons.

At the same time, a few members of the inner guards went out of Beijing overnight, and went to the left and right camps of the Imperial Army to summon Hou Jingde, the general of the left battalion of the imperial army, and He Song, who was temporarily in command of the right battalion, to enter the palace.

That night, Xiao Zheng, the chief eunuch of the inner court, personally led a dozen plum blossom guards, and used extremely bloody means to cleanse the inner court from top to bottom. Both the eunuch and the court lady died at the hands of this great eunuch.

He has been in charge of the inner court for more than ten years. As long as he has the heart to ask, he can find out what happened in the inner court.

In the second half of the night, Xiao Zheng already knew all about the cause of the incident, so the second round of massacre began.

The Yuxiu Palace where nobleman Chu lived, from top to bottom, even the big white dog raised by nobleman Chu died overnight.

As for this whimsical Chu nobleman who was injured by Xiao Zheng himself, he was thrown into the well. In one night, all the people who had something to do with this matter disappeared, and the entire inner court was cleaned by Xiao Zheng. It was clean, as if nothing had happened.

After he finished everything, the sky was already dark, Xiao Zheng rubbed his swollen eyes, came to Weiyang Palace, and knelt at the door of the emperor's study.

The study was brightly lit.

The governor Ji Lin, who was dressed in imperial uniform, was sitting in the study of Weiyang Palace with a respectful expression.

On the other hand, Emperor Yuanzhao looked at the chief governor in front of him with a tired face, let out a long breath, and said: "The chief governor, the cause and effect of the matter are like this, those old men colluded with the inner court bitch, framed For me, it is truly an unforgivable crime!"

"Now, they have been imprisoned in Shangshutai by the inner guards. They are assistant ministers. They cannot be imprisoned for too long without reason, otherwise the court will be in turmoil."

He looked at Ji Lin and said in a deep voice, "I...need the help of the Governor."

Ji Lin came from the clan. He had no reason to betray the emperor or the royal family. Besides, the eldest son of the first emperor of Yuanzhao, the succession was reasonable and legal, so the governor bowed his head deeply: "I once said that the governor's mansion will always stand on the throne." On His Majesty's side, if His Majesty has any orders, just say so."

The emperor turned his head and looked out the window, the sky was slowly getting brighter.

He took a box from the desk, put it in front of Ji Lin, and took a deep breath.
