The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Four Jinyi guards who were ambushing around Yan Mansion rushed over and found that there were really three people following Yan Chengjin, and quickly surrounded the visitor.

The man hurriedly shouted: "I misunderstood, I misunderstood, Mr. Yan, he is one of my own family, and I am under the command of Xu Yong, the military commander of the Five Cities."

Holding the lantern, Yan Chengjin could see clearly that it was Xu Yong, but he still remained vigilant.

"Why are you following my sedan?"

Xu Yong quickly explained: "There has been unrest in the capital recently. I think it is not safe for you to return home alone, so I will escort you there."

Last time the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division made meritorious service, Emperor Hongzhi rewarded the people of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division with three months more salary. Xu Yong still remembered this kindness in his heart.

I saw Yan Chengjin's sedan on the street and followed him.

There were suddenly more royal guards in the capital. Yan Chengjin felt strange and asked, "Why is this uneasiness happening?"

Xu Yong said in a low voice: "Your Majesty's decree, the military and military divisions of the five cities and the factory guards are being ordered to arrest the bad guys. I don't know, sir. It is said that the sky will change. There are thieves who want to use the sky to cause trouble. They have been spreading rumors recently. If you don't know, sir Well, it’s better to place the value earlier.”

Celestial changes?

Making trouble?

Could it be that he was inspired by Zhu Houzhao who pretended to be ill to deceive officials?

Historical records indicate that there were several blood moons during the Hongzhi period.

Yan Chengjin knew that it was not appropriate to talk about this matter, so he said to Xu Yong: "There is still a short way to send people to the west. I'd like to trouble Mr. Xu."

Xu Yong laughed a few times and said, "No trouble, no trouble."

Walking along this alley to the end is Yan's Mansion. Xu Yong followed the sedan and watched Yan Chengjin enter the mansion before leaving.

Within two days, Yan Chengjin discovered that there were more and more discussions among the people, saying that the celestial phenomena were going to change and a great chaos was about to occur.

For it to spread so quickly, someone must be behind it.

In the Fengtian Palace,

Emperor Hongzhi was pacing back and forth in front of the imperial court. There was a rumor in the capital that the sky was about to change. The emperor was the Son of Heaven. If the world was about to change, wouldn't it mean changing the sky? This was the rhythm of confronting the imperial court.

The factory guards and the Wucheng Military and Horse Division were dispatched, but only two young Luo Luo were captured and interrogated at Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town.

Mou Bin quickly walked into the palace and reported, "Your Majesty, the man who confessed to the leader of the thieves is no longer in the capital."

No wonder, Shuntian Mansion and Factory Guards and other yamen arrested him for so many days, but all failed.

Li Dongyang said: "This person's intention should be to confuse the people."

"The key is celestial phenomena." Emperor Hongzhi said.

After a while, Qintian Supervisor Zheng Luojing walked into the hall and reported: "The celestial phenomena have indeed been abnormal these past two days. As for why it is abnormal, we still can't figure it out. I will die!"

Luo Jing's family lived in Dongcheng District and heard rumors about thieves, so he had been watching the sky these past few days and nights.

"It seems that the rebels also have people who are good at observing the celestial phenomena. Let's see how the celestial phenomena changes. Since I conquered the Great Unification, it will definitely be a good omen for Fu'an in the world." Emperor Hongzhi said confidently.

There were thieves outside the palace who wanted to cause trouble, and Zhu Houzhao was under strict supervision. When he heard about the chaos outside the palace, he wanted to go out more.

"You guys let me go, I'm going to see my mother and I won't leave the palace."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty said you are not allowed to leave the East Palace."

Three or five eunuchs hugged Zhu Houzhao tightly.

This time Emperor Hongzhi not only sent the Yulin Guards, but also the Jinwu Guards to take good care of Zhu Hou.

Time passes quietly, and the moon rises above the willow branches. The difference is that this moon is red.

Zhu Houzhao scolded angrily: "Isn't it just that the moon changes color? What's the fuss about!"

In Hanyuan, Yan Chengjin watched the red moon getting brighter and brighter. It should be said that the darker the sky, the redder it became, like a big red moon disk.

"What a bad omen!"

I don't know who shouted something, and suddenly there was chaos. The civil servants all walked out of the duty room to watch, and there were exclamations and sounds of grief everywhere.

Yan Chengjin didn't know what they were crying about. If they didn't cry, it would be disrespectful to Blood Moon.

The blood moon was recorded in the classics at the beginning of Hongzhi, but not this time. But now we can see the blood moon hanging in the sky.

What a beautiful moon. Yan Chengjin wanted to recite a poem, but the loud crying next to him interrupted his thoughts and made him unable to recite it for a long time.

Outside the Fengtian Palace, Emperor Hongzhi looked at the moon in the sky and was speechless for a long time. Doesn't the bloody light in the sky mean that the world is in turmoil? Will the peaceful and prosperous age that he has worked hard to gain change hands like this?

No, he didn't believe it.

Emperor Hongzhi shouted: "I am waiting for you with pen and ink, and I want to write an edict to punish myself!"

Usually when there was a disaster in the court or the emperor felt he was lazy and derelict in his duties, he would write an edict detailing his faults, spurring himself, and calming the resentment of the people.

After leaving the palace, Li Dongyang and the others saw the red moon, then left and returned to the palace again.

I felt relieved when I heard that His Majesty was writing an edict to punish oneself.

At night, the red moon is particularly scary to the people.

Strangely enough, although they were scared, they all stood outside the house, looking at the big, red moon.

There had been rumors before, but now the people believed it even more and became restless. Tonight, the capital became a city that never sleeps.

Early the next morning, someone in the capital released the news, saying that the red moon last night was caused by Maitreya on the moon, and that he was dissatisfied with the Emperor of Heaven and wanted to bring disaster and punishment.

In Yan Chengjin's mind, someone must have spread the rumors. The birth of Maitreya and the birth of King Ming were just advertisements by Bai Lianjiao, weren't they?

Chef Lao Bai ran over in a panic and handed him a piece of silk cloth: "Master, I found this in the belly of the fish."

Yan Chengjin opened it and saw that although the words were small, he could see clearly: The thief Zhu Youtang is not a legitimate royal family member, but was born to a palace maid Ji. He is of low status and cannot inherit the fate of the Ming Dynasty, which has brought great disasters...

He first thought of Prince Ning!

Prince Ning has been secretly plotting to take over the Ming Dynasty, and he probably took advantage of this disaster to advertise.

He received it, and many people in the capital must have received it.

However, the person who wrote this silk book is also very talented.

He actually drew a pig on it, and there was a kitchen knife on the pig's head, which vividly and vividly restored the scene of slaughtering a pig.

The surname of the Ming Dynasty royal family is Zhu, and with a picture of slaughtering a pig, the text is instantly sublimated.

This is the full use of art in rebellion!

Yan Chengjin sent someone to invite Wang Yue.

"My lord, you are so good at martial arts. Do you dare to go to the palace with me?"

Wang Yue said unhappily: "My dear nephew, what are you doing in the palace now? Isn't it bad luck for His Majesty?"

"I have something to report to His Majesty. It is very important and I have to go to the palace."

"Then I will accompany you."

Seeing Wang Yue empty-handed, Yan Chengjin said: "There may be thieves in the capital who will take the opportunity to cause chaos. I am really worried about you going to the palace like this."

"What do you think we should do?"

Half an hour later, Wang Yue hung a Qinggang sword on his waist, a Wanshi bow on his shoulder, and brought ten elite guards from the mansion.

Yan Chengjin was slightly relieved and said: "Thank you, my lord."

Wang Yue's old face twitched fiercely. Are you going to the palace to assassinate?
