Unparalleled Concubine

At this time, Emperor Yuanzhao was already haggard a lot, his eyes were bloodshot, but he didn't have the anger of more than ten days ago. Hearing this, he just glanced at Zhou Shunde indifferently, and said, "Since Jingzhao Mansion If you can't solve it, let Shen Kuan and Yan Shouzhuo go."

Zhou Fujun was very frightened by this sentence, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, it is the minister who is incompetent, I will go back and block them..."

"I told you to let them go."

Emperor Yuanzhao's face was surprisingly calm, and his voice was very flat.

"When things have come to this point, I don't blame you. The Jingzhao Mansion has no choice but to go back and release them, and ask them to go home. If there are any more students making noise, they will be arrested and sent to the Ministry of Rites to expel their meritorious deeds and send them back. Origin."

Zhou Shunde wiped the sweat from his forehead, his voice was hoarse.

"Your Majesty, as long as the subject is still Jing Zhao Yin, Jing Zhao Mansion will always stand by His Majesty's side."

"is it?"

Emperor Yuanzhao folded his hands in his sleeves, and said with a half-smile: "The purpose of those people is very simple, and they are proceeding step by step. When I let Shen Kuan and others go home, it won't take long for these big-headed scholars to coordinate with each other." If you contact the Zhong family or the Ye family inside and outside the capital, you can write a letter to force me to abdicate."

He looked at Zhou Shunde, smiled and said, "When the time comes, which side will you, Mr. Zhou, be on?"

Zhou Shunde gritted his teeth, knelt on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "I am loyal to the king, if someone in the court wants to usurp, I will naturally stand on His Majesty's side, and at most I will die!"

The emperor was noncommittal, expressionless.

"Okay, you go back, let those people go as I said."

Zhou Shunde kowtowed to the emperor, and then withdrew from Weiyang Palace.

Not long after he left, another tall black-faced general came to Weiyang Palace. He knelt down in front of the emperor and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty respects you."

The emperor looked calm and looked at the black-faced man.

"During this period of time, the Zuoying Army of the Forbidden Army took over the capital, and General Hou also endured a lot of pressure?"

Hou Jingde was tall and tall, he bowed his head and said: "Return to Your Majesty, it's just a matter of the imperial army's loyalty to the emperor, there is no pressure."

Emperor Yuanzhao squinted his eyes, and chuckled: "I heard from the Tianmu Supervisor that your General Hou's Zhongyonghou Mansion was poured with feces in the middle of the night. Many people said that you, the Forbidden Army General, are helping the evildoers."

Hou Jingde knelt on the ground and shook his head again and again: "Your Majesty, it's just what some villains did. I never take it to heart. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. It is only natural for me to serve you faithfully."

The emperor laughed at himself.

"But I am not in charge of the government, and have no right to mobilize the army. These days, General Hou should have received a lot of documents from the Governor's Mansion, asking General Hou to withdraw from the capital, right?"

Regardless of whether the emperor is in charge or not, there is no way to directly mobilize military power other than the three guards. Instead, military power can only be exercised after going through the procedures of courts such as the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Ministry of War.

After all, theoretically speaking, the army of the Jin Dynasty belongs to the court of the Jin Dynasty, not the emperor's private.

For example, if the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army wanted to mobilize the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army, they needed not only documents from the imperial court, but also documents from the Metropolitan Governor’s Mansion and the Ministry of War. Loyal to the king.

Hou Jingde was silent for a while, then bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, as long as the imperial court does not remove the general of the Forbidden Army, I will always obey His Majesty's command.

"That's it."

Emperor Yuanzhao let out a breath slowly, and said: "I... can't control the imperial court now, if this continues, your position as a general of the imperial army may really be gone. When you go down, you will take the imperial army to the left camp, Withdraw from the capital and go back to the Zuoying camp."

Hou Jingde was stunned.

Kneeling on the ground, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, there is an undercurrent in the capital, and I still think it is better for the imperial army to take over the capital, so that if there is any change in the capital, the imperial army can respond at any time."

"There will be no changes."

The Son of Heaven said indifferently: "I still have three imperial guards in my hands, even if someone wants to do something, I can support them until the imperial army enters the city."

"If I tell you to withdraw, you will withdraw."

Although Hou Jingde cannot be said to be straight-hearted, he is indeed not good at words, he hesitated a few times, but he couldn't say anything, he could only sigh, bowed his head and said: "I... obey orders."

After that, he slowly backed out.

After he left, Weiyang Palace became much quieter.

After a while, the great eunuch Xiao Zheng appeared behind the emperor, bowing respectfully to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Lord Hou is not far from the capital."

Emperor Yuanzhao closed his eyes tiredly, sat back on his dragon couch, and asked slowly, "How many more days?"

Xiao Zheng lowered his hands and said, "Your Majesty will be able to enter Beijing within three days at most."

"it is good."

The emperor nodded, half lying on the bed, and closed his eyes.

"Then let them make as much trouble as possible."

Chapter 917 You270Chapter six, please abolish the emperor!

Emperor Yuanzhao was basically unable to control the situation in the capital at this time, and if he persisted like this, some problems might occur.

Coincidentally, Li Xin is coming back to Beijing soon, instead of doing this, it is better to let those people make trouble casually, no matter how big the trouble is, someone will come to end it.

As a result, Jingzhao Mansion released Shen Kuan and others, and Hou Jingde also withdrew from the capital with the imperial army. After Shen Kuan and others were released and returned home, the civil officials in the capital cheered, thinking that the emperor had begun to give in.

Shen and others were imprisoned in Jingzhao Mansion for half a month. Although they didn't suffer much, they described it as a mess. After leaving the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, they went home to take a bath and rest, regardless of the students who came to greet them.

After resting for two days, the two "auxiliary ministers" and the two ministers came to the gate of Yong'anmen by coincidence, and entered Yonganmen as auxiliary ministers.

However, they did not go to Weiyang Palace to meet the emperor, but came to the gate of Kunde Palace in the harem together, waiting quietly for the summoning of Queen Mother Xie.

Along the way, the inner guards in the palace did not stop them, allowing them to reach the gate of Kunde Palace.

Several auxiliary ministers arrived. Although the Queen Mother Xie didn't take much care of the affairs, it was not easy to see her. She first sent someone to notify the emperor, and then invited several prime ministers into the Kunde Palace.

Shen Kuan and Yan Shouzhuo walked in front, followed by the other two prime ministers from Shangshutai. The four entered the Kunde Palace. After meeting the Empress Dowager, they knelt down on the ground with a plop and kowtowed deeply.

"Your Majesty, please meet the Empress Dowager."

Empress Dowager Xie has a gentle personality, not the temperament of being in power, so she has basically not participated in state affairs for more than a year, but she has heard more or less what happened in the court. She slightly raised her hand and said with a smile: "Everyone Hurry up and get up."

Several prime ministers slowly got up from the ground.

Empress Dowager Xie said with a little apology: "I heard that you have been locked up in Jingzhao Mansion for half a month. The Son of Heaven is young and abrupt, everyone."

After Shen Kuan stood up, he bowed his head deeply to Empress Dowager Xie.

"Empress Dowager, today's actions can no longer be concealed at a young age. Yan Sikong and I are both ministers appointed by the late emperor's will, which is still placed in the imperial temple. Your majesty can't help but say, there is no decision If I commit any crime, I will be dismissed and sent to prison, this is unfilial!"

The slender prime minister took a deep breath and continued: "If there is any incident of the son of heaven messing with his mother, before we can find out clearly, the Weiyang Palace directly killed the nobleman of Chu. Afterwards, the 34 members of the Chu family all died of accidents." , the only remaining male of the Chu family, after returning to Beijing, howling every night, even tears in his eyes!"
