Fusifa of Beizhen rode 22 tyres all the way, left the capital from Yongdingmen and went straight to Nanjing, arrested the eunuch Cui Wensheng who helped the emperor in the case of moving the palace and imprisoned the emperor, and executed him on the spot.

The other route was led by Liu Qiao himself to the home of Fang Xian, Minister of Rites.

Fang Xian belonged to the Zhejiang Party, not Donglin's. Many people didn't understand why the emperor wanted to arrest him.

Wei Zhongxian, who was immersed in joy, heard the news, but his head broke out in a cold sweat. He knew why Jin Yiwei went to arrest Fang Xian.

It seems that the young emperor is still thinking about it simply.

Fang Xian's mansion in the city of Beijing was already full of people watching the show. Although the people were afraid of Jin Yiwei, this did not stop their fiery curiosity.

The Fusi of Beizhen dispatched a lot of people and surrounded the Fang mansion tightly. The leader of the guards in red and brocade clothes, the governor, shouted something inside:

"Acquisition by order, quickly open the door of the mansion, otherwise, we will hit the door!"

"At that time, a crime of resisting arrest will be added!!"

Originally, Jin Yiwei did not need a commander to go out in person to arrest the Beijing officials, but Liu Qiao, like Wei Zhongxian, just came to power after all, and was eager to show his loyalty.

So he had to come this time, and the team sent to chase Cui Wensheng was led by another Jin Yiwei captain himself, so there could be no mistakes.

After the two words were finished, there was still no movement in Fang's mansion. The commander of Jin Yiwei made a gesture and was about to give the order to slam the door, but when he turned his head, he saw Sanqi coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Humble post, Xu Xianchun, welcome to the envoy."

"Why don't you make a move?" Liu Qiao was a little sullen, and waved his hand: "What are you doing in a daze, knock on the door!"

Since people are going to be sent to prison, resisting arrest must be inevitable. Jin Yiwei also came prepared, with bows, arrows, firecrackers, and a sufficient number of horses and horses. And use.

After Liu Qiao gave an order, the four school captains rushed forward, together they picked up the huge gavel, and with a hey, it slammed straight into the not-so-heavy gate of Fang Mansion.

With just one blow, the gate of the Fang Mansion was knocked to the point of collapse, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and even if the people watching the theater stayed away, they were all terrified.

I don't know how many years I haven't seen such a big battle.

The captains were about to collide again, but they heard a "squeak", and the door was slowly opened from the inside.

"Take people!"

With a smile on Liu Qiao's face, he dismounted and walked into Fang's mansion.

Xu Xianchun and others followed closely behind, and more school captains climbed up the surrounding walls with bows, arrows and firecrackers in their hands, and the people in the opponent's house watched intently.

"Fang Xian, the emperor has a decree that we take him into prison!" Liu Qiao said loudly, and kept looking around.

Mrs. Fang and the two women of the Fang family who came out did not speak, they huddled together, Liu Qiao didn't bother to waste words with them, pushed one of them away, and walked straight into the main hall.

There was no one in the hall, but Liu Qiao, who had surrounded Fang's mansion long ago, was not afraid of people running away, so he just sat down in Fang Xian's normal seat and said:

"Search!"

"As ordered!"

Xu Xianchun, who was ready to go in and wreak havoc a long time ago, opened his mouth and shouted, and then led his own people to be the first to rush into the boudoir of the two ladies in the Fang residence.

Soon, the sound of porcelain being broken and tables and cabinets being knocked down came from the inner room of Fang Mansion. Mrs. Fang frowned, but she still maintained her demeanor. The two young ladies of Fang Mansion shrank their necks.

Seeing Liu Qiao's eyes approaching, the younger one even stood back and called out "Mother" in fear.

Seeing this scene, Liu Qiao, who knew that the imperial decree was to send Fang Xian to prison alone, not the entire Fang Mansion, put away the embroidered spring knife in his hand, and said lightly:

"Mrs. Fang, should we order Fang Xian, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, to be imprisoned, or tell your master Fang to come out quickly, so as not to bring disaster to your entire family."

After speaking, Liu Qiao looked at the servants and said with a sneer, "These people are all willing to die because of your master?"

Mrs. Fang was not afraid of Liu Qiao's threats, she raised her head and said, "My master is upright and honest, he never formed cliques for personal gain, and the servants will never wrong a good official!"

"Crack, crack, crack." Liu Qiao clapped his hands and said, "I won't wrong a good official, look, how well said."

As the words fell, he glanced at Xu Xianchun and the others who had just come out of the boudoir.

The latter immediately understood what he meant, put the knife on Fang's butler's neck, kicked his hind legs, and said loudly:

"Say, where did the person hide?"

"I, I say!" Fang's steward felt the coolness on his neck, and immediately pointed to the backyard.

Immediately, a group of Beizhen Fusi school lieutenants rushed in with knives and guns in hand.

Chapter 10 Full of desire to survive

When Captain Jin Yiwei found Fang Xian, he was feeding fish by a remote pond in the backyard.

That's right, the captains holding the knife were all stunned. Could it be that this old guy is really not afraid of death?

Xu Xianchun felt that he was bluffing.

If you are really not afraid of death, why find such a remote pond to pretend to be calm, wipe your neck directly or hang yourself, wouldn't it be more enjoyable.

Thinking of this, Xu Xianchun decided to try this Fang.

"Hey, Master Fang, I'm so excited!" Xu Xianchun sneered a few times, without thinking, he stepped forward and kicked him.

After hearing a plop, the school captains saw that Fang Xian was sinking deeper and deeper in the pond, and kept shouting for help.

Xu Xianchun was convinced too, this guy can't drink water!

Of course, he didn't expect Fang Xian to be such an old man who can't swim, but judging from the time he was struggling to call for help, this guy was just pretending to be right.

As long as you are sure you are pretending to be tough, then it will be fun.

Thinking of this, Xu Xianchun's expression gradually turned sinister.

However, before he could give the order to recruit people, Liu Qiao, who had just rushed to the backyard, scolded his head and covered his face, saying:

"The emperor meant to put him in jail. How would you explain to the emperor if you drowned him?"

Xu Xianchun didn't take it seriously, feeling that our newly appointed envoy thought that the emperor really cared about Fang's life.

It's all handed over to the imperial prison, the emperor must have some news for us to find out, let's not care about the news, as long as he can sign and draw a pledge, who cares whether he lives or dies.

"The person in charge of the lesson is that this is the fault of the subordinate!"

Although Xu Xianchun and Liu Qiao were the same commanders a few days ago, but now he is the commander of Jin Yiwei, and his status is different, so naturally he has to hold back his breath.

However, he didn't have a good look at the rest of the school captains, he kicked one of them down, and shouted: "What are you doing in a daze, the envoy has spoken, why don't you hurry up and save people!"

"Drown, the emperor's side can't justify it!"

Soon, a group of school captains brought the dying Fang Xian back to the main hall, Xu Xianchun pressed him to the seat, slapped him hard, and asked loudly:

"Who told you to impeach Cui Wensheng and demote him to Nanjing? Tell me!"

With this slap, Fang Xian's right face turned red, and traces of blood dripped from his mouth. He smiled bitterly and said:

"The matter has come to this point. If you don't talk about it, Fang has no way to survive. I just ask the commander to let Fang's family go."

Hearing this, Xu Xianchun, who was about to slap again, looked back at Liu Qiao.

Liu Qiao thought for a while, then nodded and said, "The emperor's intention is to send you to prison. As for the young and old of the Fang family, we will not move!"

"Fang thanked the envoy, I will do everything..." Fang Xian nodded sadly, and was about to say the person's name, but was interrupted by Liu Qiao:

"Wait, take it back to the prison for strict supervision!"

……

The way to capture Fang Xian went smoothly, and he was taken back to the imperial prison for custody. The other way, 22 Ti rode out of the capital and went straight to Nanjing. He met Cui Wensheng halfway, but it was not so smooth.

At this time, Cui Wensheng was following a caravan to take up his post in Nanjing. He had just arrived at the boundary of Baoding Mansion, and he was accompanied by a few loyal godsons.

A Tiqixiang headed by the governor of Jinyiwei asked: "Tian Dudu, the emperor asked us to recall Cui Gonggong, is there another use?"

"Stupid!" Tian Ergeng sneered a few times, "This Cui Wensheng helped Li Xuan serve that lady in the Qianqing Palace to imprison the emperor in the big case of moving the palace. Do you think you want to use him again?"

"Hehe, this time I only talk about recalling, that is to kill him!"

Hearing this, Yu's Tiqi suddenly realized, but soon another person asked: "But Cui Wensheng is in the caravan, and there are too many people, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to make a move."

Tian Ergeng nodded, and said: "He is in the caravan, if the emperor orders him to kill him, and it will be reported in the future that he is revenge for the transfer of the palace and imprisonment, do you think the emperor will admit it?"

Ti Qi immediately shook his head: "Of course not!"

"At that time, we will be the ones who died." Tian Ergeng stopped at the spot, thought for a while, and said, "You can lure him out and kill him on the way!"

The caravan was walking on the official road, and soon noticed something strange. The smoke and dust gradually rose from behind, and the sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer. This meant that a horse team was coming.

The first reaction of the caravan was to encounter bandits!

In the last years of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty was not particularly chaotic and could still maintain basic stability, but bandits and caravans often plundered the official roads, making merchants miserable.

Soon, this group of 22 riders gradually became clear to the nervous caravan people that although they were not bandits, they were even more shocked and frightened.

This is... Jingshi Tiqi!

The Tiqi of the capital is basically composed of well-known and well-known school lieutenants who are skilled in equestrianism in Jinyiwei, and the leader is wearing a flying fish suit, and he is a person of extremely high status.

At this moment, the people in the caravan just murmured in their hearts, these Tiqi must not come to find themselves, no one wants to cause trouble!

But the facts often go against their wishes, and a group of Jinyiwei stopped in front of them. The leader Tian Ergeng stopped in the middle of the official road and asked loudly:

"Who is Cui Wensheng!"

"I...I am..." Soon, a weak voice came from the crowd.

Ti Qi hadn't been dispatched for a long time, Cui Wensheng was both surprised and frightened when he heard that he was looking for him.

What surprised me was that Tiqi actually came to find me, and what scared me was that something happened to me!

Tian Ergeng narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Tian Ergeng, the governor of Beizhen, congratulate Mr. Cui on his reinstatement. He is about to enter the palace!"

Cui Wensheng hurriedly asked: "What's going on, what entered the palace?"

A Tiqi added: "Beizhen Fusi has now found out that Fang Xian's impeachment of Eunuch Cui for accepting bribes by the Minister of Rites is a forgery, and Fang Xian has been sent to imperial prison. Your Majesty will reinstate you as an official and have another appointment! "

Hearing this, Cui Wensheng was at a loss at first, but the expression on his face soon turned into ecstasy.

"There is another important use, the emperor has another important use for our family, so there is no need to go to Nanjing!?" Cui Wensheng danced excitedly, almost fell off his horse, and said hurriedly:

"Then let's go quickly and return to Beijing to meet the emperor!"

Hearing this, several Tiqi couldn't help laughing, and almost laughed out loud, while Tian Ergeng gradually showed his killing intent, and said with a smile:

"Eunuch Cui, don't worry, the road ahead is not long."

……

Four days later, at Ye Xianggao's mansion, all the dignitaries of the Donglin Party gathered here to discuss current affairs.

They are very happy with the current situation between the DPRK and China.

Although Fang Congzhe hadn't stepped down from the position of chief assistant in the cabinet, he was still dying.

As long as the Donglin party members blocked his way, Fang Congzhe could only be forced to "do nothing" after losing power, and the emperor would find out before long.

At that time, the removal and replacement of the cabinet was a matter of course.

As for the Qi Party and the Zhejiang Party, they are not much better than the Chu Party.

The Qi Party claims to be the ruling party and makes enemies everywhere. Fang Congzhe gradually loses power, and his life is hard to recover. The Zhejiang Party is no longer regarded as an opponent by the Donglin Party.

Now it seems that as long as Fang Congzhe, the chief assistant of the cabinet, has made no achievements and arouses the emperor's wrath, the Donglin party members will be able to take advantage of the trend and replace him.

As for the candidate, Ye Xianggao is naturally the first choice.

Chapter 11 Undercurrent

Not long ago, Zhu Youxiao had ordered Wang An to be in charge of the Yinsi Ritual Supervisor.

However, before the Donglin Party members could be happy, bad news came one after another. After Wang An took charge of the Rites and Supervisors, Wei Zhongxian also supervised the Dongchang and also took charge of the Horse Supervisor.

At the same time, Liu Qiao, the governor of Jinyiwei, also received the imperial decree and was promoted to the commander of the palm seal.

The emperor's actions on the factory guard were not insignificant, and even shook Donglin and the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang at once.

Not only did they fight each other, but they also polarized in their attitudes towards the factory guards.

The three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang lost to the Donglin party in the struggle in the last years of Wanli, but they had not completely collapsed after all. What's more, during the first court meeting, Zhu Youxiao, who had just ascended the throne, forcibly retained Fang Congzhe.

At this time, the power of the factory guards was revived, and just as Wang An was in charge of the chief inspector of ceremonies, Wei Zhongxian ushered in such a formidable enemy.

Under such a situation, the Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang parties, who are at a disadvantage, are bound to fall to Wei Yi's side. If the four of them are allowed to unite, then the Donglin party members will usher in an unprecedented disaster.

A powerful eunuch suddenly appeared, which they were not happy to see.
