Today's Son of Heaven actually regrets it in his heart.

I knew that things would get to this point, even if the imperial court used force against the southwest, he would endure it for more than a year, and wait until he was in power before doing what he wanted to do, although it would be difficult to clean up a little, but it would not be in such a dilemma as now.

That night, the Son of Heaven sent someone to invite the capital governor Ji Lin into the palace overnight, and at the same time sent someone to watch the house of Shen Kuan, Yan Shouzhuo and the other two Zaifu, and forbade anyone to enter or leave.

Yu Linwei and Qianniuwei began to closely monitor the capital to prevent suspicious people.

At the same time, there were also several internal guards who went out of Beijing overnight and went to the left and right battalions of the forbidden army to summon Hou Jingde, the general of the left battalion of the forbidden army, and He Song, who temporarily led the right battalion, into Beijing and entered the palace.

That night, Xiao Zheng, the chief eunuch of the inner court, personally led more than a dozen plum blossom guards, and cleaned the inner court up and down with extremely bloody means, from the inner chamberlain to the Shang Shi Jian who was in charge of the affairs of the harem, at least more than 50 eunuchs and palace maids died under the hands of the big eunuch.

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

In the second half of the night, Xiao Zheng already knew the cause of the incident, and the second round of slaughter began.

In the Yuxiu Palace where the Chu nobles were located, from top to bottom, even the big white dog raised by the Chu nobles died cleanly overnight.

As for this whimsical Chu Guiren, who was personally smashed by Xiao Zheng, he was thrown into the well, and overnight, all the people who had anything to do with this matter disappeared, and the entire inner court was cleaned by Xiao Zheng, as if nothing had happened.

After he had done everything, the sky was already dark, Xiao Zheng rubbed his eyes that were a little swollen, came to Weiyang Palace, and knelt at the door of the Son of Heaven's study.

The study was brightly lit.

Ji Lin, the governor of the capital, who was dressed in court clothes, was sitting in the study of Weiyang Palace, looking respectful.

And Yuan Zhao Tianzi looked at the Metropolitan Governor in front of him with a tired face, let out a long breath, and said: "The Metropolitan Governor, the cause and effect of the matter is like this, those old men, colluding with the sluts in the inner palace, framing me, are really unforgivable!" ”

"Now, they have been locked up in Shangshutai by the internal guards, they are auxiliary ministers, they can't be locked up for too long for no reason, otherwise there will be turmoil in the court."

He looked at Ji Lin and said in a deep voice, "I ...... The help of the Metropolitan Governor is needed. ”

Ji Lin was born in the clan, he had no reason to betray the Son of Heaven and betray the royal family, and besides, the eldest son of the first emperor of Yuanzhao Tianzi, the succession was reasonable and legitimate, so the Metropolitan Governor bowed his head deeply: "The minister once said that the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion will always stand on His Majesty's side, and His Majesty has any orders, even if it is said." ”

The Son of Heaven turned his head to look out the window, and the sky was slowly brightening.

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

"Dadu Governor, these are the crimes committed by Shen Kuan, Yan Shouzhuo and others over the years, and when the sky is a little brighter, I will shake the court bell and convene a hundred officials to hold a court meeting, and then the Dadu Governor will use these Shangchao to participate in the sins of these people, and ask the court to dismiss the prime minister."

Ji Lin frowned slightly, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, if a big court meeting is held, I'm afraid Shen Kuan and the others will also be present." ”

"You don't need them to be there."

The Son of Heaven had a cold face, gritted his teeth and said: "If they are condemned early tomorrow morning, they will be directly taken down to Dali Temple, and they must not be let out again, once these people go out, they will talk nonsense, and things will not be easy to do!" ”

The Grand Governor frowned slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, those people are either auxiliary ministers or prime ministers, and they don't even give them a chance to speak, I'm afraid that the people in the court will ...... Words. ”

"I can't take care of much."

The Son of Heaven's eyes were bloodshot, and his face was a little hideous.

"So far, we can only cut through the mess quickly, otherwise it will become more and more difficult to deal with if this continues."

He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "The Metropolitan Governor must help me!" ”

Ji Lin's face was serious, he got up and knelt in front of the Son of Heaven, and said respectfully: "The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, I am willing to drive for Your Majesty!" ”

"Good!"

When the Son of Heaven heard this, his spirits were much more uplifted, he sat up from the soft couch, and said in a muffled voice: "I will let Xiao Zheng shake the bell and convene a great court meeting." ”

In the imperial city of the Great Jin Dynasty, there is a huge bronze bell, this copper bell is enough to have thousands of catties, as long as it rings, at least Yongle Fang can be heard clearly, it was originally hung at the gate of Changle Palace, after Taikang Tianzi moved to Weiyang Palace, this bell was also hung at the door of Weiyang Palace.

The big bell does not ring on weekdays, but as long as it rings, it means that something is wrong, and it rings three times in a row, that is, the Son of Heaven urgently convenes a great court meeting, if it rings twelve times in a row...... That is, the Son of Heaven died.

Yuan Zhao Tianzi walked out of the door of the study, saw Xiao Zheng kneeling on the ground, and there was still some blood on his body, and asked, "The result of the matter has been investigated?" ”

"Found out."

Xiao Zheng bowed his head respectfully: "There is someone from outside the palace who entered Yuxiu Palace, what did he say to that Chu nobleman, and after moving Chu Guiren, he made money to let her enter Weiyang Palace, as long as it was a person involved in this matter, the slaves and maids were all disposed of according to the rules of the palace, including the chief of my inner warden......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Zheng bowed respectfully: "Please Your Majesty to surrender ......"

"People outside the palace ......"

Yuan Zhao Tianzi said coldly: "Can you find out who it is?" ”

Xiao Zheng lowered his head and said: "The people from Tianmu Prison have already gone to investigate, it will take some time, but whether it is found out or not, it is of little significance, even if the evidence is found, others will not believe it......"

"Then I'll check it out!"

The Son of Heaven snorted coldly and said, "Xiao Zheng, let's put aside the matter of the inner chamberlain for the time being, you now go and shake the bell of Weiyang Palace and convene the ministers in Beijing to discuss the matter!" ”

"I'm going to call a great court meeting at once!"

Yuan Zhao Tianzi closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Qianniuwei and Yulinwei, keep an eye on the yamen and various densely populated places in the capital, if you find someone talking nonsense, you ......will be arrested immediately."

Xiao Zheng frowned, then sighed and said in a low voice: "The slave will do it." ”

The Son of Heaven is not yet in power, if he is in power, this kind of blockade of the capital can actually be handed over to Jingzhao Mansion to do, he is not in power, so he can only temporarily use his own guards to do it.

If this is done, it is very likely to arouse discussion among the government and the opposition.

After all, he is only fourteen years old, and he is still a child in every way, no matter what he does, as long as he goes a little too far, others will think that he is a child.

But now there is no other way, so I can only grit my teeth and do it, and then find a way to ask someone from the south to return to Beijing and stabilize the situation......

Xiao Zheng personally walked to the gate of Weiyang Palace, and commanded the little eunuchs under his command to ring the bell, and the big bell vibrated three times in a row, and the sound was deafening.

As soon as the three bells rang, Yongle Fang, which had not fully woken up, was immediately woken up by the bell, and many ministers got up from the bed in a panic and asked the subordinates to dress him in court clothes.

Some people didn't have time to eat, so they ran out of the house, and more than a dozen sedan chairs walked together on Desheng Street, and almost crashed into each other.

The young Son of Heaven stood quietly at the gate of Weiyang Palace, looking at the eighty-one steps under his feet, his face full of seriousness.

Whether his knife can cut through these messes depends on today!
