"How is the weather outside?" Kangxi asked Yuzhu inexplicably.
If you were an ordinary person, you would definitely think that Kangxi was asking about the weather.
Yuzhu didn't hesitate at all, and whispered: "Directly opposite the Confucian Temple, there is a lot of traffic, crowded houses, and relatives like clouds."
Lao Ba's mansion is opposite the Confucian Temple.
"Okay, okay, okay, what a great place." Kangxi suddenly raised his head and told Yuzhu calmly, "Protect Wei Zhu and send Zhang Mingde off."
"Hey." Yuzhu quickly knelt down and accepted the emperor's order.
After Zhang Mingde was arrested, he has been imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishments.
Yuzhu ordered a group of guards with swords, surrounded Wei Zhu, and rode straight to the Criminal Department.
In the past, Yuzhu lived in Toujia Lane. Toujia Lane was only a stone's throw away from the Xingbu Yamen.
When he arrived at the main entrance of the Criminal Department, Yuzhu dismounted his horse, held up the golden order in his hand, and shouted sternly: "I'm on an errand according to the order, and the idle people should stay away."
The officers guarding the Criminal Department knelt aside one after another when they saw Yuzhu and Wei Zhu, who were wearing yellow jackets and holding high golden orders.
An Bulu, the Minister of Punishment, invited Yuzhu and Wei Zhu into his official hall with a look of surprise and uncertainty.
"Master Wei, Leader Jade, who are you two?" An Bulu wanted to ask the purpose of his visit very politely.
Yuzhu didn't say anything. Wei Zhu took half a step forward and said coldly: "According to the order, I ask the question about the demon Zhang Mingde."
"Hey." An Bulu couldn't help but tremble when he heard the words Zhang Mingde.
finally come!
Accompanied by An Bulu, Yuzhu led people to bring Zhang Mingde out from the gloomy prison.
Wei Zhu glanced at Zhang Mingde, who had been gagged and put in a sack, and said coldly: "Thank you, Minister Lao'an, for a trip with me."
An Bulu's heart suddenly sank. Tomorrow morning, the emperor's general Yu Taihe Hall will officially announce who the new prince is.
There was no way, Wei Zhu was on an errand, so An Bulu had no choice but to go with Yuzhu and the others.
The group of people escorted Zhang Mingde directly to the west of the princess's grave.
Gongzhu Tomb is a folk name, and the official official name is County Jun Tomb.
Because, buried here is the tenth daughter of Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty, the county monarch Aixinjueluo.
The surrounding area is extremely desolate, with many lonely graves and howling wolves and ghosts can be heard.
Wei Zhu glanced at Yuzhu and said calmly: "Foreman Yu, it's your turn."
Yuzhu didn't say anything, walked straight to the sack and squatted down.
"Brush." Yuzhu pulled out a sharp dagger, grabbed the braid on Zhang Mingde's head with one hand through the sack, and stabbed it into the neck with all his strength with the other hand.
Zhang Mingde only shook once and then completely collapsed. He must have died.
The sack was soon stained red by the blood spurted out.
After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, Yuzhu opened the sack and pulled out the waist knife.
Yuzhu grabbed Zhang Mingde's braid with one hand, raised the knife with the other, and slashed it down viciously. "Crack." Zhang Mingde's head was immediately chopped off.
Fortunately, Yuzhu has been practicing riding and shooting for a long time. Otherwise, his sword would probably break Zhang Mingde's neck bone.
The old rule in the palace is that you must see someone alive and you must see your head before you die.
The first, the first level!
Yuzhu's work was very beautiful. There were only a few drops of blood on his body, and he was not sprayed with corpse blood, making him look miserable.
After handing Zhang Mingde's head to the guards holding the wooden box, Yuzhu took out the big handkerchief in his arms, wiped his hands hard, wiped off the blood on the dagger and waist knife, and then threw them away.
Handkerchief.
"Come here, light a fire and burn him." Yuzhu ordered, and his guards quickly lit the fire, threw Zhang Mingde's body into the fire, and burned it to ashes.
After everything was settled, Wei Zhu and Yuzhu brought An Bulu back to the palace.
After returning to life, Kangxi told Yuzhu: "Ambulu will live in your dormitory, and you stay with him."
Yuzhu understood very well that Kangxi's words were very polite, but he actually wanted him to monitor Anbulu to avoid leaking the news in advance.
After all, An Bulu was a dignified minister of the Ministry of Justice, and he had not committed any crime, so it was impossible to kidnap him and lock him up.
Yuzhu led Anbulu to his dormitory.
The moment he entered the door, he heard Ambrose let out a long sigh of relief, and his whole body relaxed.
Yuzhu smiled slightly, An Bulu was a sensible person, he must have guessed something.
However, at this juncture, if Ambros dared to reveal the secret, he would definitely lose his head.
However, even if Kangxi could not publicly kill An Bulu, there were still many ways to kill him suddenly.
In order to avoid suspicion, Yuzhu did not go out, but stayed in the dormitory, monitoring Anbulu.
However, the power of the head waiter, First Class Shrimp, was astonishing, and the tea room's little leaf quickly brought the refreshments.
This time, Yuzhu didn't let Xiao Yezi come in, but just ordered him to put the tray by the door.
Everyone in the palace knows the rules. The more you know, the closer you are to losing your head.
Little Leaf obediently placed the tray at the door and left quickly, fearing that she would be involved in the trouble of losing her head.
Yuzhu poured a cup of hot tea for An Bulu and handed it to his hand.
"Mr. An, the conditions are limited. I only have Biluochun that I like to drink."
Hearing what Yuzhu said, An Bulu couldn't help but laugh and joked: "I am lucky to be able to drink hot tea."
Yuzhu had dealt with Anbu Lu and knew that he was also Lao Ba's man.
"Mr. An, this man is always happy when he is content." Yuzhu was silently warning An Bulu. Even if he guessed something, he would not want to send the news to the outside world.
Although An Bulu has always supported Lao Ba, he has been the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment for a long time and is used to seeing all kinds of dangerous things. He is very aware of the power of them.
Yuzhu was watching so closely, and he was under the emperor's nose. Even if there was a chance to leak the news to Lao Ba, how could An Bulu dare?
A thousand taels ago, when the shift was about to be handed over, Kangxi looked for Yuzhu again.
"I've been searching for a long time, but why haven't I seen your memorial?" Kangxi asked Yuzhu very strangely.
Yuzhu was secretly refreshed. He had been waiting for this question for a long time.
"I haven't written the book yet." Yuzhu told the truth and did not deceive Kangxi.
"Why?" Kangxi suddenly became interested and simply asked.
"I am the bodyguard of the royal foreman. Everything is subject to your wishes, master."
Since the conversation was private and there were no outsiders in the room, Yuzhu did not stick to the rules and engage in the red tape of a monarch and his ministers reporting to each other.
"Oh." Kangxi had already expected that the jade pillar would slip by, and immediately ordered, "I'll give you half an hour, and I'll write a note and read it right away."
Yuzhu understood immediately upon hearing this. Kangxi wanted to see clearly where he stood.
"嗻."
Kangxi already knew Yuzhu very well. With Yuzhu's talent, he could write a memorial in a hurry, let alone half an hour, even half a quarter of an hour.
In the hall, there are many four treasures of the study.
Yuzhu knelt down next to the small writing desk, picked up his pen, licked his ink, and wrote the memorial that had been drafted long ago. It only took half an hour.
"Please take a look at it." Yuzhu held the Zhezi in front of Kangxi with both hands.
Kangxi took Yuzhu's memorial, opened it, read it carefully three times, and suddenly sighed softly: "I read you right, you are so loyal!"
When Yuzhu received the emperor's praise, he was not overjoyed. Instead, he said seriously: "Being loyal to the emperor is the duty of a minister. I don't deserve such praise from you."
"Well, go ahead and escort the Palace of Supreme Harmony tomorrow!" Kangxi put down the book in his hand, waved his hand, and decided a good position for the jade pillar in advance.
The so-called escorting the Palace of Supreme Harmony, most people definitely don’t understand.
Only the people around the emperor understand the truth.
Just when Yuzhu was about to go out, Kangxi suddenly stopped him.
"Well, I'm getting older and I almost missed a big event. Here, this is the procedure for mobilizing the Military Guard Battalion."
The temporary mobilization of the military guard battalion into the palace to escort the emperor showed Kangxi's great trust in Yuzhu.
However, there was not much joy in Yuzhu's heart.
Damn it, Kangxi had so many tricks up his sleeve. There was a trap on his left hand, a trap on his right hand, and his methods of testing were endless.
This made Yuzhu very tired.
On the morning of the next day, when it was just dawn, ministers came to the palace gate.
The gatekeepers were still Ouchi's guards, but when they arrived in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, everyone suddenly noticed a surprising change.
I saw rows of soldiers wearing new military uniforms, with one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps, surrounding the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Yuzhu has always been willing to spend money to raise soldiers. Not to mention anything else, the officers and soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion are not wearing the common straw sandals or cloth shoes at all, but long military boots.
How should I put it? Kangxi also had some intention of using the Wuwei Camp as a pilot project. Moreover, the total number of people in the Wuwei Camp was only more than 500, and the financial and material resources of the Military Preparatory Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs could also be provided.
If there are tens of thousands pairs of long military boots, it is obviously impossible.
"Hey, why are they all the top soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion?"
"You are wrong. It should be the Wuwei Camp under the jurisdiction of the Hujun Camp."
"Oh, your old man still knows the details."
"Hey, even the guards have changed. It's a bad sign today!"
Someone noticed something was wrong and turned around to report the news to Lao Ba, but was stopped by an officer from the Wuwei Battalion.
Today, no one is allowed in or out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Those who act rashly will be captured first and then punished.
This is an oral edict issued by Kangxi.
At this time, Yuzhu was standing on the left side of the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Today, Norob is personally responsible for the security work around the Hall of Supreme Harmony, while the Wuwei Battalion outside the hall is in charge.
After Yuzhu received the news, he smiled coldly and ordered: "Take it first, shut up, and wait for the emperor's decision."
"嗻."
Yuzhu stood high and could see far away, so he happened to see Li Guangdi coming from a distance.
Hey, Yuzhu knew it very well. Kangxi hinted Li Guangdi to let the officials know about it and let everyone recommend Yinreng as the crown prince.
However, Kangxi did not expect that Li Guangdi was actually a lurking member of the Ba Ye Party, and he did not convey Kangxi's true intentions to the officials at all.
Today’s Hall of Supreme Harmony is clearly visible.
It's time for the showdown!
