Chapter 6: Unexpected Assassin (Three)

The emperor took away all the public offices of Xu Yunzhen, the governor of the City Defense Army, with the remaining nine battalions of the City Defense Army, everyone began to be in danger. They were also afraid that the emperor would deprive the only military power left in their hands by these momentum, and they would be nothing in the future.

"Your Majesty, Chen Yangmei, the left censor of the Censorate, is here late, so she will wait outside the hall first."

"Supreme him in!"

"I am late for the incident, please punish the emperor!" Chen Yang walked into the hall with a sweat on his head, knelt down and apologized.

"You are late because of the incident. Why should I punish you? Let's calm down!" Zhu Yinglong knew what he was doing. There was an armed fight on the streets of Beijing, killing and injured dozens of people. This book was in charge of the five-city censor's guard office. He was in charge of the Censorate's Head. How could he not visit the scene in person for such a big thing?

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Yangmei quickly stood up. He had been running all the way, and his official sedan chair had just followed outside the Meridian Gate.

"How many people died?"

"Forty-seven people died, six seriously injured, and no one was slightly injured." Chen Yangmei was thinking about how to report this matter, but she answered without thinking. After the answer, he looked up at the emperor in horror, with surprise on his face. The news came to the palace so quickly, which was too incredible. Looking at the civil and military officials in this palace, all of them had a very serious face. It was obvious that something big happened to the court.

"If the Marquis of Fengcheng Li Yongzuo rebelled and tried to kill the monarch in the street, his crimes were inexcusable. I beg the emperor to issue an order to kill the nine clans!" Zhou Tingru, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, flashed out and knelt down and said.

"I beg the emperor to kill the nine clans!" In an instant, a group of knelt down in the hall. The civil servants and military generals who had been associated with Li Yongzuo were all standing there with sweat wet faces. It was not right to kneel, it was not right to kneel down, it was not right to not kneel down, it was not right to know what to do.

The few officials left were standing there stupidly before they could figure out the reason for their love. The Zuodu Censor Chen Yangmei was one of them. He was not here just now, so because he didn't know about it, only knew the consequences, so he was at a loss when standing in the hall.

"Emperor, if the Marquis of Fengcheng is brave, he may not have the courage to kill the monarch. This is an old minister who can guarantee this!" After all, Li Yongzuo is a military general, and is under the jurisdiction of the Military Machine Pavilion and the Ministry of War. Sun Chengzong serves two positions. In addition to the emperor, he is the highest commander of the military. Besides, he has always disagreed with the criminal law of killing the nine clans. As the saying goes, it is good that disasters will not be as good as his wife and children. As long as Li Yongzuo did not intend to kill the monarch, the killing of the nine clans was a bit too much, and the scope involved was too wide. At this time, expanding this case will have a certain impact on the morale and morale of the army, which may be detrimental to the southern expedition. He knew that the emperor was a wise man, so he stood up.

When Sun Chengzong spoke, the civil servants and military generals who had been in contact with Li Yongzuo all used their own value to guarantee that they did not have the courage to kill the monarch. There must be some hidden information in this, and I beg the emperor to observe the matter clearly.

Logically speaking, Li Yongzuo could not know the true identity of "Wufu". Although the crime he committed before was a death sentence, it could only be counted on him alone and would not implicate his family. Even if he knew, he would not think about being alone. You must know that even if he succeeded in killing the regency, he would still have to destroy the nine clans. It should not be difficult to tell which one of the crimes was too minor. However, the killer who appeared three times in a row did appear when the servants of the Marquis' Mansion besieged the carriage he was riding. The timing was the same as the previous two times, and it was just right. If it weren't for knowing in advance, would such a coincidence happen? It is impossible for him to believe that Li Yongzuo did not have the courage to kill the regency.

"I know whether Li Yongzuo has the courage to kill a monarch. I also know that you have been an official in the same dynasty as Li Yongzuo for more than ten years. I can understand some feelings, but before the truth comes out, I don't want to hear any words that guarantee your life and life!" Zhu Yinglong said sternly.

The officials of the "Li" group immediately showed joy. The emperor clearly did not believe these people's words. The officials who spoke for Li Yongzuo just now immediately showed a look of panic. If they really wanted to kill the nine clans, they would all be implicated. Although they would not lose their lives, their career prospects were probably ruined. How could they not be afraid?

It is impossible to kill the nine clans. Isn’t he a tyrant? Moreover, he did not belong to this time and space, and he could not do anything to kill people at any time. Severe punishment and cruel laws could not save the backward feudal dynasty. The times need to make progress and look forward. It is time for such things left from the previous period to end. The emperor is afraid of others rebelling and killing him. That is because his ability is low and he can’t be a good emperor. He can get rid of the roots once and for all. It’s a fool!

But now he doesn't plan to say it out loud. He will shake the people first and let them taste the feeling of fear, so that they can be more honest. If they stretch their hands too long, they will chop their hands, and if they stretch too long, they will chop their feet.

"I have decided to visit Dali Temple tomorrow to personally try this case. If you are interested, you can attend the audience!" Zhu Yinglong announced the theme of convening all officials today.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say..." Han Yu said.

"I have something to say until I arrive at Dali Temple tomorrow and leave the court!" Zhu Yinglong didn't want to say more, so he walked off the Dragon Chariot Road.

"Old Sun, the emperor doesn't seem to believe you?" Han Zhao called Sun Chengzong and said.

"The power of heaven is unpredictable. I am very satisfied with the emperor's thoughts now." Sun Chengzong shook his head and said.

"Master, isn't it because of the attack on Li Yongzuo at this time?" Han Du felt that there was something wrong with this place.

No wonder these two cunning old ministers could not guess that the two assassins in the next two times were hidden by Zhu Yinglong, because they were afraid that the ministers would oppose him to the expedition in person. The other was mixed with Li Yongzuo's case, and these two people didn't know about it, so they felt this way.

"I always feel that the emperor seems to be hiding something from us?" Sun Chengzong carefully recalled Zhu Yinglong's expression changed in the hall just now.

"Old Sun, you are not talking about that, our emperor is a sympathetic master. The little girl of the Ma family is indeed very popular. The emperor seems to have a true love for her!" Han Du said.

"I'm not talking about this. I mean, the emperor has no other intention except for the little girl named Ma?" Sun Chengzong said, "There is also Zhou Huaian, the commander of the big guard, suddenly going out for business, without any signs in advance. Don't you find it strange?"

"It's a bit strange. Maybe this is the emperor's private matter. He doesn't need to tell you everything!" Han Du retorted.

"Private affairs?" Sun Chengzong shook his head and said, "I don't think it looks like it. There must be any hidden truths in it that you and I don't know."

"Since the emperor doesn't want us to know, if we force our understanding, it will make the emperor unhappy. The emperor has always been sensible in his work, so I don't have to worry too much about you and I, maybe the truth will be revealed tomorrow?" Han Du said.

The two old ministers just muttered to leave Wenhua Hall, and each went back to the office with their own doubts.

Zhu Yinglong returned to the Hall of Yangxin and issued three decrees in a row. One was to order Wu Sangui of Tongzhou Military Academy to enter Beijing immediately. The second was to order the British Duke Zhang Guowei to order the city defense army to strictly investigate the exits of the capital. At the same time, he ordered the Ministry of Justice to issue a national wanted order to arrest the general Dai Xiaolou. Third, he ordered the palace chief Wang Chengen to secretly investigate all eunuchs and palace maids in the palace. His whereabouts must be at the source and in the palace.

Wang Chengen's actions were still very fast, and he quickly presented the records of entering and leaving the palace within ten days and the list of eunuchs and palace maids who are not out of the palace now to Zhu Yinglong's desk.

I don't know if I didn't look at it. After a look, Zhu Yinglong found a name, which was a coincidence or something else. The entry and exit record clearly did not record the personal palace maid Xu Rongruo of Chen Qianqian's personal palace maid from Chen Qianqian, but now there is her name on the list of people in the palace. Chen Qianqian's Yongshou Palace and Yangxin Palace are only separated by two palace walls. Although the people in the harem do not run forward, it is quite easy to monitor his entry and exit. Moreover, he also knows that the eunuchs around him like to spread some words for the harem. As long as they are not hurt, he will turn a blind eye.

"I ordered people to surround Yongshou Palace, Xu Jin was not allowed to leave, and I ordered the Imperial Guard to search the Shen family, and never let anyone go!" When the cessation continued, he was in trouble. Chen Xi had already told her the true identity of her wife. In fact, she had already let her deal with it. She could not let this time bomb stay by her side again.

In a blink of an eye, the harem also changed. Concubine Chen was suddenly ordered to be placed under house arrest in Yongshou Palace. The concubines elected Xu Ruying as their head and went to the Yangxin Palace to ask what happened?

Xu Ruying was extremely anxious. Although Chen Qianqian had an average relationship with other concubines, she was her own sister after all. After all, she was suddenly under house arrest. Such a big incident made the other concubines feel a little uneasy. After all, it was so sudden that it was too unimaginable for them to imagine.

When his wife came, Zhu Yinglong naturally smiled and greeted her. He knew that he owed Xu Ruying a lot and had always loved her very much. Moreover, Xu Ruying now has changed her temperament and has a rich life. She is a little rich, but her figure is still so good. In daily life, she is not only practicing martial arts and swords, but she is just for her daughter. It is said that her clothes have already been as phoenix crowns and robe as she gets married.

"I have met the emperor!"

"The beloved concubine is not a gift, please get up quickly, but you can't come here easily!" Zhu Yinglong hurriedly stepped forward and helped Xu Ruying halfway into his arms and said.

"I heard that the emperor suddenly issued an order to put Concubine Chen in house arrest?" Xu Ruying said straight to the point and explained her purpose.

"Yes, that's the case. Come on, let's sit on the concubine!" Zhu Yinglong pulled Xu Ruying and sat down on the dragon throne with him.

"Why does the emperor put down Concubine Chen's sister?" Xu Ruying was trusted by the sisters and came to inquire about this matter. How could she not ask clearly?
