At two o'clock, the Yuhua Road at the south gate of the palace was full of courtiers who came to admonish, among which there were many who fished in troubled waters and watched the situation, but Emperor Xia Jing had no order, and the Qianniuwei of the palace guard and the generals of the Forbidden Army Pavilion would not let these courtiers enter the palace at all, in the middle of the night, this can freeze the courtiers into grandsons, even so, these courtiers did not dare to leave easily, they were afraid that there would be any news of the movement to miss them, so that after the morning of tomorrow, the sin would get up and have a way back.

On the study, from a distance, the lights are bright, on the corridor of the Langting outside the room, the forbidden army is in pairs, the armor is lined up, it looks like a catastrophe is coming, but I don't know that this is just the response of the forbidden army, the forbidden army Zhonglang will Yu Changhai is thoughtful, for tonight's court members were killed one after another, he was afraid of the chaos of the court, threatening the emperor's life, so a dispatch, in addition to the harem soldiers two thousand, guarding the inner and outer gates, the other thousands of forbidden troops were all transferred to the Qianqing Palace, the study, and the Zhengde Palace.

"Your Majesty, just now there is news from Zhongshuge, in addition to the murders of Liu Xun and Du Ruting, there is also a fire in the mansion of more than a dozen officials from the six ministries, and the number of dead and injured is estimated to be at least more than 100 people!"

In front of the desk, Chang Lin, the supervisor in the palace, whispered the words, but after the case, Emperor Xia Jing closed his eyes and recuperated, as if he was not listening, and there was no change in his expression at all, which made Chang Lin beat the drum in his heart and think deeply, Chang Lin and Gao Rou and Liu Xun were all born in the East Palace, and now they are in the forefront of the court. This old boy actually made trouble in secret, attacked and killed Du Ruting, and as a result, he lost the Du Mansion, and he was also killed by Du Ruting's family as a house slave.

After Chang Lin finished speaking in horror, Emperor Xia Jing still didn't react, which made Chang Lin more and more uneasy, but Emperor Xia Jing seemed to be in Penglai, but in fact, Yu Guang had already taken in Chang Lin's appearance.

"Ahem..."

Suddenly, two light coughs came out, Chang Lin's mind was scattered, and he immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, tonight suddenly happened, the situation is changeable, these news are compact, the truth is undecided, and Weichen does not dare to ponder the details, so please forgive Your Majesty!" ”

Looking at Chang Lin's reaction, Emperor Xia Jing got up: "I want to know... How can the scourge of a mere power struggle turn into a chaotic raid! ”

As a close courtier, Chang Lin's political senses over the past few decades are not as sensitive as a god, and he also knows that some words should be listened to, and some words should not be heard, such as Emperor Xia Jing's question, this is the emperor's power technique, as a courtier, he only needs to act on orders, not to consult with the upper imperial power, but Emperor Xia Jing just said it, what does this mean? It is nothing more than the intention to use it first, and then the intention of the sinful body.

Emperor Xia Jing asked Chang Lin, Chang Lin sweated on his back, and he didn't dare to respond for a long time, which made Emperor Xia Jing upset, and it was just the right time for Yu Changhai to report to the forbidden army.

"Your Majesty, the four gates of the palace have all been closed, and all the palace guards have been patrolled and dispatched, and the ministers will dare to say that as long as there is no order from Your Majesty, even if it is a bird, it will not be able to live in the palace for a moment!"

Just halfway through the conversation, Yu Changhai paused: "Your Majesty, according to the report from the generals on duty at the palace guard, a large number of courtiers have gathered at the south gate and east gate of the palace!" ”

"Counsel the courtiers? Hum! ”

Emperor Xia Jing said coldly, although there was only one word, but the coldness of Chang Lin's body was heavy again, he knelt stiffly, like a rock falling to the roots, Emperor Xia Jing said: "The courtiers are killed, the power is turbulent, the courtiers do not follow the way of the ministers, it seems that the first emperor, the first emperor's rectification of the art is not thorough enough, Yu Changhai, immediately ordered the palace guard on duty to go to the record to come to the name of the courtiers, the official position, before dawn, handed over to the Zhongshu Pavilion, give me a clear record!" ”

"The minister will obey!"

Yu Changhai had to order him to leave, and Emperor Xia Jing looked at Chang Lin again: "You get up!" ”

With permission, Chang Lin slowly got up: "Your Majesty, please sin!" ”

"What are you guilty of?"

"As a former minister of the East Palace, the minister has not fulfilled his duty to share worries and responsibilities for His Majesty!"

These words made Emperor Xia Jingdi's mood soothe a little: "I am in the midst of the scourge of war, the central capital is uncertain, some courtiers are deeply rooted, and they think that they can be unscrupulous when they are old ministers from the three dynasties, and they can be unscrupulous when they are young, but I am thinking about their allegiance and don't want to add more killings, but now it's good, but they themselves are fighting with knives, and they really have no king Far, and no will of the eyes!" ”

"Your Majesty is angry!"

Chang Lin also smelled something from these words, that is, Emperor Xia Jing did not intend to punish the courtiers of these factions with the result of the sword fight, so Chang Lin said in a smooth voice: "Your Majesty, for the sake of today, is to find the murderer as soon as possible, and put the murders of Liu Xun, Du Ruting and other officials under certain pressure, so as to ease the worries of the ministers, and let them be led by various crimes in the future, and slowly settle down, so that the overall situation is settled!" ”

"What about you? What place do you think you deserve! ”

Emperor Xia Jing asked directly, Chang Lin breathed a sigh of relief, and let the queen give his hand: "The minister is willing to return to his hometown, build an ancestral hall, and comfort the heavens from time to time to reflect on what he has done!" ”

When the words fell, Chang Lin knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the actions of the ministers, although they are man-made, but they are not people's faults, no matter how Liu Xun and Du Ruting make trouble, they are the people of the subordinates after all, and they have never had the heart of anti-emperor, compared with them, the ministers are the same, the hearts of the people are greedy, how many also, now Your Majesty is alert to the ministers, the ministers are grateful to Dade, but I also hope that Your Majesty can be truly magnanimous to the people, and Enwei will last forever!" ”

"Presumptuous!"

Chang Lin's secret request made Emperor Xia Jing angry, as a superior person, the most disgusting thing is the power fight, the emperor, what he needs is the balance of the courtiers, not the courtiers to seize power, but then think about it, what Chang Lin said is a more ancient truth, whether it is the past, or the present, and even the future, it will always be a shackle of the court, how long it can be controlled, it depends on how strong the strength of the imperial power is, such as Emperor Xia An, who is famous and talented, has been in charge for more than 50 years, expanding the territory for Great Xia, and achieving a generation of meritorious deeds, such as Emperor Xia WuAlthough the prestige was loud, he succeeded to dominate the world in the chaos, but he was only tired for five years, and then he withered, drove the crane to the west and did not return, leaving Emperor Xia Jing with this crumbling foundation of Great Xia, and it was also thanks to Emperor Xia'an that he was slightly solidified, and the army was loyal to fight to the death, so as to be able to keep the banner of Great Xia.
