This night changed suddenly, and it was destined to be uneasy and long, Hong Chengchou exhaled a long breath, it has been more than a month since he entered the prison of the Criminal Department, he thought that the future would be bleak so far, but he didn't want the outside world to have earth-shaking changes.

The Son of Heaven, who single-handedly threw him into prison, has become a waste, and Li Xin, who was born as a horse thief, has also become a cabinet scholar. To make an illiterate horse thief a cabinet leader really wonder if it is a mockery of these people who have worked hard for ten years, or a harbinger of the coming end of the dynasty.

Either way, he's free again, and he's likely to be a great minister again. Although the person who gave him this opportunity was Zhou Yanru, and although he looked down on Zhou Yanru very much, now they are grasshoppers on a rope.

"The gates of the inner city are already in the hands of the elder of the pavilion, and the matter has become thirty percent, now without further ado, go to the Forbidden City immediately, protect the queen and the prince, and then ask for the holy decree to kill Li Xin and others who rebel against the party!"

"That's right! The old man is clumsy in military affairs, and he has to rely on Heng Jiu's ability! ”

"For the sake of the country, it is our responsibility to undertake the domain!"

Hong Chengchou and Zhou Yanru reached an agreement, and the two of them rushed towards the Forbidden City with hundreds of followers under the cover of the night before dawn.

Soon, they arrived at the Donghua Gate, and things went unexpectedly smoothly, Fan Fucui had successfully mastered the Donghua Gate, and he himself had already entered the Forbidden City first.

Hong Chengchou and Zhou Yanru, who were still apprehensive before, suddenly felt a lot more stable in their hearts, as long as they controlled the Forbidden City, tonight's operation would be half successful.

Hong Chengchou secretly exclaimed, God really helped me, originally he thought that he would spend a lot of effort on Zhu Chunchen, but he didn't expect to overestimate this person.

"Where is Old Fan Ge?"

"Back to the old saying, at this time in the cabinet hall!"

Facing Zhou Yanru's question, a soldier replied cautiously.

Hong Chengchou frowned, "What are you doing when you are not by the side of the queen and the crown prince at this time, but you are in the cabinet hall?" "This Fan Fucui's actions are too unreliable, don't you know where the focus of tonight's action is? But after all, he hadn't said it yet, after all, it was all speculation.

Fan Fucui was really in the cabinet hall, and Hong Chengchou didn't greet him after meeting him, and asked:

"Where are Her Royal Highness and the Crown Prince now?"

Fan Fucui replied: "Naturally, in the palace, there was a report from the eunuch before, and the queen and His Royal Highness the crown prince are resting in the Duanjing Hall at this time!" ”

"Duanjing Temple?"

Hong Chengchou repeated, his eyes turned, but he found a familiar figure again, it turned out that Liu Yuliang was sitting in the cabinet hall with Fan Fucui. But hasn't Liu Yuliang always supported Li Xin? How can he still be allowed to sit here? He just wanted to give an order to let Liu Yuliang be controlled.

Fan Fucui took the first step to stop and said: "Elder Liu Ge has no intention of helping Li Xin's thief, why should he harm the innocent?" ”

Hong Chengchou felt that Fan Fucui was too pedantic, and was just about to wave his hand to force someone to take someone, but Zhou Yanru, who came after him, spoke again.

"Brother Hengjiu, personal grievances aside, since Liu Ge Lao and we unanimously condemn Li Xin's thief, it is very good, now the first priority is to see Her Royal Highness the Queen, please get the will, justifiably kill the traitor Li Xin!"

But they are foreign ministers after all, and the Duanjing Hall is located in the inner palace, how can they easily break in? Fan raised his concerns.

Hong Chengchou laughed: "How pedantic is Fan Gelao? At such a juncture of life and death, if you are still entangled in red tape, wouldn't it be regarded as child's play? Let's go, let's go to the Mandarin Hall first! ”

There are permanent eunuchs in the Wenhua Hall who communicate with the cabinet, and Fan Fucui also patted his head.

"Exactly, Her Royal Highness the Queen's personal attendant Zhao Xing is waiting in the Wenhua Palace, why don't you find him and invite the queen to the warm pavilion of the Wenhua Palace?"

Hong Chengchou snorted coldly and nodded, which can be regarded as approving Fan Fucui's method.

At this time, Liu Yuliang, who had been silent from the side, suddenly spoke: "I don't know how many pavilion elders caught Li Xin, what do they want to do?" ”

"Since I should follow the laws of my Ming Dynasty, I will be punished for the crime of treason, and I will be punished with a thousand knives and punished by the nine clans!"

Liu Yuliang made a gesture of shrinking his neck, but continued to ask: "Haven't you thought that if the Three Guards under his command have no leader, will they have to rebel?" ”

"This ......"

Fan Fucui was speechless for a while, he only cared about getting rid of the traitor, but he ignored the mess he was about to face after getting rid of Li Xin.

Hong Chengchou sneered: "The lesser of two evils!" If Li Xin is not killed at this time, even the Ming Dynasty will change hands! The three guards under his command are leaderless, but they are just a plate of loose sand, and they will be able to be pacified in time! ”

Zhou Yanru praised:

"What Brother Heng Jiu said is very true!"

Liu Yuliang shook his head, and then said nothing.

Fan Fucui also felt that Hong Chengchou's words were reasonable, and the situation at this time was just, and the lesser of two evils was chosen.

"Perhaps, after capturing Li Xin's thief alive, he can also use his people as bargaining chips and bait to trap one of his subordinates......"

Zhou Yanru's words were interrupted by Hong Chengchou.

"Without further ado, it's better to find Her Royal Highness the Queen and the Crown Prince first!"

So, Hong Zhoufan and the three of them roared and roared straight to the Wenhua Palace, and by the light of the torches from a distance, they saw that the gate of the Wenhua Gate was closed, but the forbidden army and the Yellow Gate outside who were usually on duty at night were gone.

An ominous premonition came to his heart, and Hong Chengchou personally stepped forward to knock on the door.

"I'm Hong Chengchou, a member of the Cabinet University, and I'm here to protect Her Royal Highness the Queen, please open the door quickly!"

After more than a dozen shots, I heard the voice of the eunuch from the Wenhua Gate.

"Is it Hong Ge Lao? Her Royal Highness the Queen is not in the Wenhua Palace, please go back, after dawn, Her Royal Highness the Queen will come, and we should go to the cabinet to inform you! ”

Hong Chengchou continued to ask, but there was no sound inside.

His heart immediately cooled half, and he turned his head to question Fan Fucui, "Didn't you say that Zhao Xing was waiting in the Wenhua Palace?" What about people? ”

Fan Fucui was also dumbfounded, obviously he said it before, why is it closed now? So he also shouted at Wenhuamen:

"The old man is Fan Fucui, please ask Gonggong Zhao to answer!"

There was a reflection in it: "Gonggong Zhao went to Duanjing Hall to serve Her Royal Highness the Queen, don't be impatient, come back after dawn!" ”

At this time, no matter how stupid Hong Chengchou is, he has already woken up, things have changed unnoticedly, he glared at Fan Fucui viciously, and scolded:

"Insufficient success, more than failure!"

Fan Fucui didn't know how to answer for a while.

Hong Chengchou raised his arms again:

"Let's go, go to the Concord Gate!"

Now there is only one road in front of them, no matter what happens in the inner palace at this time, Hong Chengchou believes that only the thousand people in their hands will be enough. He just wants to force people into the inner palace, find the queen and the prince, and find these two crucial characters, so that he can turn the tide and win!
