Xia Xun smiled and ignored him. He retreated, spread his legs apart, raised his hands high, his palms still like holding balls, looked up at the skylight above his head, relaxed his shoulders and lowered his waist, and continued to practice kung fu.【】
Huang Zhen's body was really weak. He only insisted on doing a few movements with Xia Xun, and his whole body ached from exhaustion. As soon as he lay down on the couch, he yawned. He pulled up the pillow filled with bran skin.
, just when I closed my eyes, I heard a "crash" and "bang" in the distance.
That was the sound of the iron fence door opening and closing. Because the prison was quiet, the sound traveled very far. Huang Zhen immediately raised his head. He lived in this prison for two days and gradually got a taste of it. When did he visit the prison?
He already knew the approximate time when food would be delivered and when the toilet would be fetched. Any movement in and out of the prison outside of this time would make him particularly sensitive.
Huang Zhen stood up in a daze, turned his head, and Xia Xun raised his hands as if holding a ball, but what he was holding was a beam of light cast by the skylight. It seemed that the movement did not alarm him at all. Huang Zhen did not dare to call him.
He just jumped off the wooden couch, stepped on the straw with his bare feet, and hurriedly climbed to the fence gate, turning his face outward.
In the distance, an exclamation came from the outermost side of the cell: "Oh my God, why did you get in!"
It seemed that several prisoners were exclaiming at the same time, but the voices were slightly sequential and mixed with each other, so some words could not be heard clearly. Huang Zhen was so anxious that he wanted to squeeze his head out of the fence, thinking impatiently.
: "Who is this? Who is coming in again!"
"Mr. Yang Ge! It's Mr. Yang Ge!"
"Ah! There is also Mr. Huang Ge, and there is Mr. Huang Ge!"
As the footsteps approached, Huang Zhen couldn't help but screamed when he saw the prisoner being brought in. He quickly turned around and reported to Xia Xun.
Xia Xun stopped his posture and walked quickly to the cell door. Yang Rong and Huang Huai had been brought in front of them. The two old men slowly stopped and bowed their hands to Xia Xun. Xia Xun said: "Mr. Yang Ge, Hu
Mr. Ge!"
Yang Rong and Huang Huai also bowed their hands to him outside: "Duke, Mr. Huang!"
Each other was speechless at this.
The warder, seeing that the two cells opposite happened to be empty, said: "Open the cell door!"
The cell door was opened, and Yang and Huang, the two cabinet bachelors, were put into a cell respectively. As soon as the cell door was locked, the guards left.
Huang Zhen then shouted to the other side: "Mr. Yang Ge, Mr. Huang Ge, why are you two in jail?"
Yang Rong smiled faintly and said: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate impeached the prince. Yang acted as a guarantee for the prince and was accused of forming a clique. Brother Jie'an, haha, he is guilty of the same crime as Yang."
Huang Huai smiled and nodded to the two of them.
Huang Zhen said to Xia Xun with a mournful face: "My lord, it is unprecedented for the Yongle Dynasty that the emperor has made such a big move. The cabinet is about to be moved to the imperial edict!"
Xia Xun smiled and said, "Do you remember what I said to you?"
Huang Zhen's face became even more bitter, and his face was as wrinkled as a daisy and he said: "Of course I remember, I just caught people one by one like this, when will this place be full?"
Xia Xun comforted him and said: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, it's almost done! It's almost done!"
※※※
The situation in the court is changing rapidly.
Yu Shiji led a crowd to write a letter to impeach the prince for his misconduct. Chen Ying led a crowd to write a letter to demand that the Xie Jin Party be traced. They pressed forward step by step and were aggressive. Yang Rong, a scholar in the cabinet, fought back to protect the prince. He was accused of being a member of the prince's party and was imprisoned pending trial.
Huang Huai, the cabinet scholar, continued to write letters one after another, and the emperor immediately issued a decree and sent him to prison again.
There were originally seven bachelors in the cabinet. One of the bachelors, Hu Yan, was transferred to the Imperial Academy during Zhu Di's first northern tour. Xie Jin was first demoted, and now he was imprisoned together with Yang Rong and Huang Huai. Yang Shiqi
The cabinet scholar and Donggong Zuo Yude was also imprisoned. After all, there were only two people left in the cabinet.
One is Hu Guang, who has always played a critical role in political stance, and the other is Jin Youzi, who ranks last among the seven bachelors in the cabinet and is of little influence. At this point, the cabinet has completely lost the ability to fight against the emperor in government affairs, and has become
He has become a dispensable secretary who can only do what is ordered.
Xia Xun silently calculated a series of recent personnel changes in the imperial court, and murmured to himself: "It's almost time, it's time to spread the word..."
In the Han Palace, because of the victory in the first battle, all the party members celebrated together.
Yu Shiji said with a smile: "The emperor decreed that Hu Guang be promoted to a bachelor of Hanlin and a bachelor of Zuo Chunfang. Now he is already the chief minister of the cabinet. Haha, this cunning guy, although his daughter's marriage has not been cancelled, but for the sake of
He regretted his marriage, forced his daughter to cut her ears and clear her mind, and gained the Sacred Heart. Now she has finally received a generous reward."
Chen Ying said disdainfully: "There are only two people left in the cabinet now. Hu Guang is a faggot, and Jin Youzi is a low-key person. What else can a cabinet like this have?"
He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "If you plant flowers intentionally, they will not bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will create shade! Now, by doing this, we have not only defeated the princelings, but also the Jiangxi faction, which has the most power in the court, has also been defeated. Seven universities in the cabinet
Among the five Jiangxi scholars, three of them who were willing to speak out were imprisoned. The remaining two old cousins, Hu Guang and Jin Youzi, were afraid of getting into trouble and dared not speak. Even if the other dared to speak, no one would listen.
hehe…
Yu Shiji's eyes lit up and he said: "Yes, if you don't say it, your Excellency, the subordinates haven't thought of it yet. Let me calculate, Xie Jin, Yang Rong, Huang Huai, Yang Shiqi from the cabinet, Chen Shou, Chen Ming, Lang Siwen from the six departments,
Jun Xingjian, Xing Lingshan, Zhao Feng, Geng Tong from Dali Temple, Ye Lan, Murong Hao from the General Affairs Department..."
Yu Shiji became more and more excited as he talked. Chen Ying added, "And Huang Zhen from our Procuratorate!"
Yu Shiji said: "Yes, there is also Huang Zhen. That old man Huang Zhen is also from Jiangxi. Oh, after calculation, at least most of the officials imprisoned this time are officials from Jiangxi. Hahaha, the Jiangxi faction is doing this
There were heavy casualties, especially those who were imprisoned were mostly prominent figures in important positions. It can be said that their vitality was severely damaged. Yes, yes, it was an unexpected gain."
Chen Ying sneered and said: "Half of the court officials are from Gan. There are many people from Jiangxi who are officials. If they are unlucky, naturally more will be implicated."
King Zhu Gaoxu of Han Dynasty was like a monkey that couldn't sit still. He was itching and said: "Don't pay attention to the Jiangxi old cousin. Now the cabinet and six ministries have been defeated, but my eldest brother is still sitting in the East Palace. My father just won't give up."
The word "chu" means you should come up with a solution!"
Chen Ying consoled him: "Your Highness, please don't worry. Ji Gang is already on the line with Your Highness, right?"
The King of Han said: "Yes, he implicitly expressed his intention to surrender to me, and I also gave him a hint. As long as he obediently serves me, he will certainly benefit from him in the future."
Chen Ying said with a smile: "He is needed now for His Highness. The chief of the department dare not move because the emperor has not yet convicted him, but the younger officials have no problem. Ask him to use torture to extract confessions from these people, and continue
Arresting people and waiting until everyone is in danger, are you afraid that they will fall to His Highness?
At that time, we will write the book again and directly ask you to make your highness the prince, and work hard to win the position of crown prince. By then, not only will no one dare to object, but they will have to please your highness.
The King of Han said happily: "That's right! Sun Lu, come here!"
The King of Han hurriedly called his henchman Sun Lu to him, whispered something in a low voice, and Sun Lu nodded.
At this time, Wang Jie, the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, saw that the overall situation was about to be decided, but he had no power in his hands. He quickly stepped forward and said: "I am now in charge of the guards in Zhejiang. Those Shuangyu guards have always been in close contact with Yang Xu. This team
Although the pirates have submitted to the imperial court for many years, they have always been a self-contained group, monolithic, and outsiders cannot get involved at all. The temperament of these pirates is even more unruly, so they have constant friction with the Zhejiang land and water guards, and the relationship has always been tense.
In the past, Yang Xu protected them, but it didn't cause a big incident in the lottery. Now that Yang Xu himself can't protect himself, it's better for him to instruct the Zhejiang guards to find some trouble with them. These people have the nature of pirates. As long as they are squeezed out a little, they will have trouble.
Hehe, if we ask them to cause some trouble again...hehe, it will be difficult for Yang Xu to die!"
The King of Han was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Okay, hurry up and do it. Remember, don't leave any clues!"
Chen Ying originally didn't want to cause trouble, but then he thought about it. Although Xia Xun was already in prison, he was still worried, especially the news from the imperial prison.
With Chen Ying's always suspicious character, although the situation has become clear, she still has to worry that Xia Xun still has backup plans. If he can be killed
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Chen Ying did not stop her, but only told her: "Don't make a big fuss, especially don't do things like falsely accusing Shuangyu of rebelling and attacking the navy, which is full of loopholes. Just stir up trouble a little bit."
"
Governor Wang was from the army. Hearing Chen Ying give him instructions, the boss was displeased and said: "It's just a small matter, it's better not to do anything!"
Yu Shiji said with a smile: "The Governor doesn't know. As long as you cause a little trouble, it will be polished by our Metropolitan Procuratorate and reported to the Emperor. Hehe, people kill people with a bare pen."
, to this day, the governor still doesn’t know our methods?”
The King of Han nodded and said: "Well, what Mr. Yu said is reasonable. Wang Jie, please act accordingly. Don't make arbitrary decisions and ruin the king's important affairs!"
Wang Jie had no choice but to nod in agreement.
In the Yang family's martial arts arena, Xiaoying was still dressed in men's clothing, but she was wearing an arrow-sleeved martial arts uniform, which made her look heroic.
She stood sideways, holding a big bow and carrying a pot of carved feathers on her shoulder. She drew the bow and set the arrow, all in one breath. The bow was opened like a full moon, and the arrows shot towards the shooting stars. She saw an archery target in the distance, nine arrows in a row, and all the arrows were bull's-eyes.
, nine arrows gathered together, like the spread tail wings of a strange bird.
Xian Ya, who was dressed in a white dress, pretty and cute, with a childish face like a little fox that had just learned the art of transformation, stood aside, her mouth opened into an O shape, and her eyes were red: "Miss Sakura, you are so awesome.
, my master can’t shoot so accurately!”
Sakura's tenth arrow had just been stringed. The thumb of her right hand clasped the bow string tightly, wearing a black iron wrench. She drew the bow like a full moon and was ready to go. The sharp arrow cluster had already locked the bull's eye. Suddenly she heard her say
When Xia Xun got up, he suddenly felt an inexplicable irritation in his heart. The tenth arrow flew away from his hand, missed the target, and hit the wall. To be continued.
