Chapter 40 The Great War (1)
Morning court.
All civil and military officials were blocked outside the Meridian Gate and could not enter.
There are dozens of eunuchs holding a stick in their hands. Anyone who dares to go in first will be beaten up in a mess.
A eunuch in the forefront said, "Your Majesty has an order, and the morning court is full of troubles, so you will not be in Fengtian Hall for regular court in the future. If there is a memorial, you will first submit it to the East Factory for review, and then read it by Your Majesty. You will send it back to the cabinet one day. I will respect this."
"What kind of system, what kind of system."
"You are so brave that you dare to close the palace, isolate the inside and outside, and deceive the holy hearing."
"Let us come in quickly. Just send an imperial edict to stop all civil and military officials? Cao Zhengchun is so brave."
"When the army of kings arrives, we will surely clear the emperor and cut you, the brave eunuchs to pieces."
"No, the eunuch of Wumu, bah!"
When civil and military officials heard such an imperial edict, they shouted and cursed outside the palace.
However, the eunuchs ignored it, and the remaining guards did not see it.
Behind the Meridian Gate, Cao Zhengchun looked at him with a smile.
Feiying said behind him: "Supermaster, these civil and military officials scolded them so badly, especially the Grand Secretary Fu Tiecheng and the Imperial Envoy."
When Cao Zhengchun heard this, he said coldly disdainfully, "Now they will be allowed to scold me first. The governor now has the military talismans of the top ten generals in his hand, and he has already arranged the border troops to the imperial city. When the border troops arrive, they will definitely be able to suppress everything.
The more fierce the two old men shouted and scolded, the more miserable they would be when the governor took control of everything!”
After Cao Zhengchun finished speaking, he turned around and entered the palace.
When he arrived at Fengtian Hall, Emperor Zhengde was sitting in the hall. When he saw Cao Zhengchun coming in, he said coldly: "Cao Zhengchun, why haven't you seen the morning court yet? Where have all the civil and military officials gone?"
Cao Zhengchun smiled and said, "Your Majesty, if the weather is severe today, our family will not be able to see all officials being frozen outside Fengtianmen, so they asked them to go back first and will not go to the court in the future. All memorials will be handed over to the East Factory for review and sorting, and then handed them over to the emperor to stamp and send them back to the cabinet."
When Emperor Zhengde heard this, his face suddenly looked ugly. He thought that even if Cao Zhengchun wanted to rebel, he would not be so fast. Unexpectedly, he would act when he woke up early this morning.
He stared at Cao Zhengchun and said, "My uncle is still looking for a place outside the city to heal his wounds. When he comes back and sees such a scene, what should you do? What should you do if he summons the border troops to the side of the Qing dynasty?"
"Border Army?" Cao Zhengchun laughed when he heard this.
He took out a few military talismans from his sleeve and put them in front of the emperor, "Your Majesty, come and see, are you talking about the border troops you are talking about?!"
Emperor Zhengde's face changed drastically when he saw the token in Cao Zhengchun's hand.
"As for Zhu Wushi, our family will not be afraid of him. Your Majesty, you don't know anything. It was Zhu Wushi, the Iron Gallant God Marquis who handed over the secret files about the top ten generals in the Long Guarding Villa to our family, so that our family can easily obtain the support of the top ten generals and do such a big thing easily." Cao Zhengchun said, putting the military talisman in his hand into his sleeve.
"Hmph, you should take care of yourself. My uncle is not easy to meet. He can give you secret files and easily take them back. If you underestimate him, you will not have a good end." After the emperor said that, he stood up and was about to leave.
At this time, Cao Zhengchun suddenly asked, "By the way, let me ask you another thing. Princess Yunluo left the palace with the emperor's token. I wonder where the princess went?"
"How can I know that you shot her token and made her very angry. I had to give her another side, probably because she was going out of the palace to play." The emperor said perfunctorily.
Cao Zhengchun snorted coldly, "Well, Yunluo's body is not staying well in the palace. If there is a big or small thing, I just hope that the emperor and the queen mother will not be too sad."
He strode out of the palace.
The emperor looked at his back in place, and for a while, he had no choice but to leave.
He could only hope Yunluo now, thinking that she could find some to find Jiang Han and come back to make things right.
At this time, outside the Meridian Gate.
Not only did the civil and military officials not disperse, but instead gathered more and more. There were even many people following nearby, and the number of people became larger and larger, as if they were about to rush into the Meridian Gate at any time.
"What's going on?" Cao Zhengchun walked out and immediately asked Feiying when he saw this scene.
"You are here just in time. The civil and military officials are still unwilling to disperse. Instead, they summoned some officials on duty to participate. There were many minor officials, and the people followed them, as if they were about to attack the Meridian Gate. The subordinates sent a lot of additional personnel, but it was still not enough!" Feiying said immediately.
Cao Zhengchun waved his hand and asked a little eunuch standing beside him to come over, "Hmph, it seems that they have never died. Come on, find some swords to distribute them, don't use these wooden sticks, someone dares to rush into the Meridian Gate and immediately chop his sword into meat paste. Then send a team of black-clothed arrows to rush the onlookers away. Before noon, the governor could no longer see a standing person outside the Meridian Gate!"
"Yes!" The little eunuch lowered his head and reported, and was about to leave.
But Cao Zhengchun suddenly felt something was wrong, and he immediately shouted to the little eunuch: "Slow down, come back!"
The little eunuch walked back as he said, and Cao Zhengchun asked, "Which eunuch is your subordinate, why have you never seen me before?"
When the little eunuch heard this, his heart thumped a little.
She said: "My subordinates are Eunuch Liu's subordinates. Eunuch Liu went out of the palace to work, but he has never come back. My subordinates can only follow everyone for the time being."
When Cao Zhengchun heard this, he nodded, "So that's it. Liu Tao had left the palace to do business before, but was killed. His body was still in the East Factory. Since you follow Liu Tao to do business, you can follow my governor in the future."
"Yes, thank you for the governor!" The little eunuch shivered.
Then we will continue to leave.
Just as she was about to step out of the Meridian Gate, she suddenly felt a sound behind her back.
Without thinking, she used her light skills to dodge by, and saw a huge palm force rubbing against her arm and hitting the palace wall.
Suddenly, gravel flew around.
A stone broke her hair.
She covered her injured hand and turned around and sprinkled a hidden weapon. Many eunuchs from the East Factory were immediately hit and lay on the ground and wailed.
Only Cao Zhengchun used the Vajra to protect his body and blocked this hidden weapon.
"So you are the first-ranked spy in the Xuanzi of Hulong Villa. Shangguan Haitang, why did this governor say that you look familiar?
Shangguan Haitang, you actually pretend to be an eunuch. If you want to get into the palace map and misbehave, you will be so beautiful today when you fall into the hands of this governor!" Cao Zhengchun said, and if you use Wanchuan to return to the sea, you will take Shangguan Haitang down.
At this time, two people suddenly rushed out of the crowd outside the palace.
They are Guihai Yidao and Duan Tianya respectively.
One of them rushed out to protect the injured Haitang, and the other used a ruthless slash, slashing Cao Zhengchun with a knife, intending to surround Wei and save Zhao.
