May 28, nearly 6 o'clock in the morning. A fast horse gallops through the streets of the inner city, "trampling". The sound of horses' hooves knocking on the loess road. Crush the tranquility of the morning.

The horse gallops, as light as the wind!

Pang Ze quickly returned to Zhang's Mansion in Yongfang and informed the mountain chief of Jia Huan's judgment of the current situation. At this time, the Beijing Daily was being printed in large quantities and would soon be on sale.

At the same time, the nine gates of the capital have been opened. Jia Zheng, Jia Huan took the servants and guards of Jiafu out of Zhengyangmen and took over Pravda. Pravda's editor-in-chief, Zhou Shenxing, is not in the newspaper's office, and even if he is, it is impossible to stop the political envoy.

The time for the yamen of the national dynasty to go to the yamen is 7 o'clock in the morning. And today is not very sunny. At about half past six in the morning, Zhang Anbo, a 72-year-old minister of the Yongzhi Dynasty of the Great Zhou Dynasty and a famous Confucian in the world, went out accompanied by his son and an old servant, took a carriage, and went to Xiyuan to see the Son of Heaven.

There was such a big movement in Xiyuan last night, but only a few people knew the situation. This involves the source of the information, as well as the judgment of the situation.

For example, suppose that the Son of Heaven in the West Garden is dead, and at this time he goes to the West Garden to ask to see the Son of Heaven and is detained. When the time comes, the new emperor will ascend the throne to worship, this chaotic minister and thief, should you be? There are still officials who have concerns.

Moreover, some officials have not received definite information. In this case, generally speaking, it is natural to subconsciously go to the work unit to ask colleagues for news, rather than going directly to Xiyuan. It is instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Only loyal and upright ministers will go to Xiyuan when the situation is unclear. At the same time, it is a good opportunity to brush up points. However, in Zhang Anbo's heart, he still wants to admonish the Son of Heaven!

At about the same time, King Wu walked out of the palace, took his servants, and went to Xiyuan to ask to see the Son of Heaven. He was a royalist.

…

…

The commander of the Jinyi Guard made Xing You arrive at Xiyuan with several henchmen and waited outside the palace for the Son of Heaven to summon him. Later, a eunuch came out to give him a decree and brought him to an audience.

Walking into the dormitory behind the Hanyuan Palace, the light is dim, and the furnishings are full of royal luxury. Xing You kowtowed, and shouted three long live.

Yongzhi Tianzi sat on the dragon chair and asked in a cold voice, "How is the situation outside?" "Jin Yiwei is the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven. Last night, the movements in the palaces of various high-ranking officials in the capital were under the surveillance of Jinyiwei. Therefore, the Son of Heaven has this question.

Xing You knelt down and replied, "Your Majesty, there are a few ministers on their way to Xiyuan, and most of the courtiers are heading to their respective yamen. ”

The Son of Yongzhi nodded, got up, and paced slowly in the hall. I am even more dissatisfied with my grandson Ning Rong in my heart!

He set up a big game last night. However, Ning Rong rebelled, and the sound of fire shook the capital. This made him make a huge flaw in the game. He blocked the news in the West Garden, but I'm afraid he won't be able to hide it for long.

The Son of Yongzhi turned around and asked again, "What about last night?" ”

This question made the Jinyi guard command Xing You swallow a mouthful of saliva hard. Last night, his henchman Zhang Lu personally led people to monitor the Chu Palace. Before he came to Xiyuan, he reported the latest news to him.

Xing You lowered his head, tried his best to calm his voice, sounding, without the slightest emotional color, and stated: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin sent someone to contact His Royal Highness the King of Shu. Suspected of wanting to bribe the queen's mother. His Royal Highness the King of Chu sent someone to contact Bai Zhang, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, last night. Bai Shangshu advised him to wait for the exact news of His Majesty's life and death.

His Royal Highness the King of Chu then sent people to contact the rear guard of the government army in the Upper Twelve Guards, and the commander of the Tiger Benwei. And send a message to the Imperial Village outside the city. Jinyiwei investigated and learned that there were about 100 strong people among them..."

Xing You naturally knew that the Son of Heaven wanted to know the dynamics of those people last night. He also wants to talk about Jia Huan's news - Jia Huan has recently enjoyed the treatment of a prisoner. The Son of Heaven had the intention of killing him. Of course, Jin Yiwei focuses on it. Of course, in Jiafu, Jinyiwei's spies couldn't get in.

But, interrupted.

"Bang!"

The Son of Yongzhi angrily kicked the gold frame at his feet, and two words popped out of his throat: "Son! In the voice, the suppressed anger, the eunuchs and palace maids in the dormitory, anyone can hear it.

King Chu's actions made the Yongzhi Emperor extremely angry in his heart. Collude with ministers, befriend generals in the army, and raise dead soldiers! Each of these things is taboo for him. Touching his sensitive nerves. In vain, he prefers this little son. And looking at this situation, he wished he had died sooner.

Empress Yang and Qing Meiren, who were resting in the side hall of the dormitory, were awakened. Empress Yang didn't sleep all night last night, and as soon as the palace door opened in the morning, she hurried to Xiyuan. At this time, it is arranged to rest here. The movement is so big that it can be seen in general!

In the dormitory, the Son of Yongzhi kicked and was still angry, walked to the desk, smashed a jade Ruyi on the ground, and scolded the second sentence, "Beast!" ”

The fewer the words, the bigger the matter.

Xu Yan at the door didn't dare to come in and touch the moldy head of the Son of Heaven.

The Jinyi guard commanded Xing You to bow his head like a quail. He knew that the king of Chu was finished. To tell the truth, last night and one night, Zhang Lu would never have investigated so many things. This kid has been staring at King Chu for a long time!

…

…

In the east court room outside the Hanyuan Palace, the morning glow penetrates through the window. Hua Mo, Wei Hong, and Song Pu were three scholars, each sitting and resting. The eunuchs served. Serve tea and pour water.

Hua Mo had explained to the two colleagues with a wry smile earlier: "The holy will is determined, what can the official do about it?" ”

The Son of Heaven set up a situation to fool the ministers, and he also set up a situation with his own life and death, in a sense, what is the difference between this and the princes of the Beacon Fire Opera? Wei Hong and Song Pu were very dissatisfied with this. However, the Son of Heaven did not see them, and the anger of the two had to be directed at Hua Mo.

Although Song Pu won the simple promotion of the son of heaven, he was a scholar. But after all, he has been a heavenly official of the ministry for many years, and an important minister of the court, and he is not like Hua Mo who welcomes the Son of Heaven without any discipline! Last night's incident, the Son of Heaven did it. Do you still need trust between monarchs and ministers?

At this moment, the three of them were sitting quietly, or closing their eyes to recuperate, or drinking tea, or walking around, and did not talk.

At this time, the little eunuch outside came in and said: "Hua Xiang, Zhang Anbo, King Wu and others ask to see the Son of Heaven." ”

Hua Mo thought for a moment and said, "Ziheng, Hongji, let's go and see the Son of Heaven together." State the matter. Let the Son of Heaven decide. ”

…

…

In the dormitory, the son of Yongzhi had a gloomy face, listened to the report of the chief eunuch Xu Yan, and said, "I don't see it." For the time being, he didn't want to listen to the rambling (exhortation) of the scholars and ministers.

Xu Yan had no choice but to retire.

The commander of the Jinyi Guard, Xing You, stood aside, and he had just reported the news of Jia Huan to the Son of Heaven: Jia's Mansion was brightly lit last night, but no messenger went out. Newspapers outside his office are working overtime, seemingly rushing to print the Beijing Daily. The political envoys Jia Zheng and Jia Huan, with their domestic servants, went to the Pravda outside the Zhengyang Gate early in the morning.

"The minister has ordered people to pay attention, as long as the Beijing Daily and Pravda are published, there will be newspapers delivered."

"Hmm. Well done! The Son of Yongzhi had already made up his mind in his heart, restrained his emotions, and praised him, making Xing You hurriedly kowtow and thank him.

At this time, Xu Yan came in again, his steps were hurried, he held two newspapers in his hands, presented them, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the newspaper that Jinyiwei quickly delivered." You see..."

He is literate. Moreover, he participated in the "plan" of the Son of Yongzhi throughout the process. The contents of the newspaper made him shake!

Yongzhi Tianzi took it and took a look, it was really the Beijing Daily and Pravda, but the content of the two newspapers was exactly the same.

The editorial on the front page was signed by Jia Zheng, the envoy of the general government, "Ministers, reckless and cold, among the doves and crows." The Jia family has been blessed by heaven and has enjoyed a hundred years of wealth. Yesterday, I heard that the Son of Heaven was in a coma in Xiyuan, and there was a loud gunshot. However, the Holy Son of Heaven will not be inherited by thieves...

Today, there are divisions that perform their duties, and they must not cause chaos in Beijing. The officials of the main hall of the yamen should go to the West Garden to meet the Son of Heaven to settle people's hearts!

There are rumors in the capital, and the imperial history should be questioned. Today, the heroes are wise and martial, and the merits are far ahead. May I live a long life, and it is the same happiness for all people in the world. ”

After the editorial, there was also Jia Huan's signed article. This is what is written in the vernacular. The main meaning is twofold:

First, the Son of Heaven is fine. The analysis is as follows: There are gunshots in the West Garden. But then, the gunfire stopped. The Son of Heaven will be fine. Please don't panic the people of Beijing, what to do and what to do. Don't believe rumors, don't spread rumors. We must resolutely and consciously struggle against all kinds of rumors.

At the same time, he called on the people of the world to pray for the blessing of the Son of Heaven at home.

Second, there are divisions and yamen in Beijing, everyone in the army, and the Beijing camp, there is no transfer order, so it is recommended not to dispatch! Otherwise, everyone will be punished for the chaos and thieves.

After reading these two "loyal minister" articles, the Son of Yongzhi let out a long sigh. His game was broken. With these two articles, the situation in Beijing must be unusually stable in a short period of time! The news here in Xiyuan doesn't matter.

One hundred and fifty years of Emperor Zhou Dingding, it is natural to have such a human heart!

…

…

In the courtroom, the three scholars also got the latest newspaper, and their eyes exchanged: Jia's father and son sang this big play!

It seems that the Son of Heaven is on stage, and their father and son sing a big show! To be precise, it is Jia Huan singing. Jia Cunzhou's political level, who doesn't know?

Later, the Son of Heaven decreed: Order the hundred officials to meet in the Hanyuan Palace.
