"It must be those three bachelors! And this guy is also an accomplice!" King Zhao was completely torn and gritted his teeth and said: "Arrest them all and get the royal seal back quickly!"
"Yes." Zhao Ying quickly ordered his men outside to arrest the three bachelors. However, he did not dare to act rashly against Zheng He in front of him. He persuaded King Zhao in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Zheng should be patient.
Slow down!"
"No!" King Zhao said with blood-red eyes and gritted teeth: "The imperial seal is closed to the sky, there is no need to delay!"
"Hey..." Zhao Ying had no choice but to step forward, look at Zheng He and said: "Eunuch Zheng, please come with our family."
"My lord, do you want to arrest our family as well?" Zheng He ignored Zhao Ying, only looked at King Zhao calmly, and said lightly: "I'm afraid not."
"Why, you dare to resist arrest?" King Zhao stared at Zheng He and said with a ferocious smile: "Then don't blame me for being rude!" After a pause, he shouted: "Take it!"
"Who dares?!" Zheng He suddenly pulled out a piece of yellow silk from his sleeve and said in a deep voice: "The emperor has an edict, no one can touch our house!"
In the astonished eyes of King Zhao and Zhao Ying, Zheng He unfolded the yellow silk ribbon, and saw the words "Zheng He shoulders the important responsibility of protecting him. You are not allowed to offend, otherwise it will be considered treason!" It was stamped with the emperor's seal!
"When did the emperor give you this order?!" King Zhao asked with doubtful eyes.
"Of course it was before the emperor fell into coma." Zheng He said calmly: "Your Majesty, our family's responsibility is to protect you. We don't care how you cause trouble, but we can't let our family leave this place."
King Zhao looked at Zhao Ying and asked with his eyes, it would be better to say that this decree is forged, just to force it!
Zhao Ying shook his head resolutely. Inside and outside the dormitory, there were all Zheng He's cronies. Moreover, Zheng He's martial arts skills were not much worse than his own. If he really tried hard, he would definitely suffer the loss.
"Huh! Let's go!" King Zhao knew that he would not get any benefits, so he angrily left with Zhao Ying...
In the small courtyard, Wang Xian had finished tending the vegetable garden and was looking at the vigorously growing vegetable seedlings while joking with Gu Xiaolian. Gu Xiaolian was amused by Wang Xian and smiled brightly. Although she was still unable to see or speak,
But his hearing has been completely restored, and his facial expressions and movements have become completely agile, but his eyes are still dull, which makes this agility pale a lot...
At this time, Dai Hua came over and reported in a low voice: "Sir, the Zhengjia Grain Store just received two secret letters from Yang Shiqi, as well as a gold treasure belonging to the emperor. Sir Wu, please give me instructions on how to deal with it."
"Unexpectedly, Bachelor Yang is really hardworking." Wang Xian was stunned for a moment when he heard the news, and then smiled, "That's right. How can the leader of the three Yangs be able to just sit back and wait to be killed?"
"What three Yang?" Now it was Dai Hua's turn to be stunned. He only knew Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi, but he didn't know where the other sheep came from.
Of course Wang Xian would not tell him that the other Yang was Yang Pu who was imprisoned in the imperial edict. In the future, these three Yangs would be very powerful. From the Hongxi Dynasty to the Zhengtong Dynasty, they controlled the cabinet for twenty years and forced the Ming Dynasty to survive.
It overcame the serious financial crisis in the last years of Yongle, created the famous Hongxuan rule, and completely stabilized the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, the three highly respected bachelors also completely established the central position of the cabinet in the Ming Dynasty. From then on, the power to handle state affairs and appoint officials was basically transferred to the hands of the cabinet. The emperor no longer personally handled the affairs of the state, but implemented the rule of "vertical administration".
', only possessing the highest ruling power and supreme status.
It was from Sanyang that the great scholar became the leader of the civil servant group, and he was only one title different from the prime minister. It was also from Sanyang that the status of the civil servant group surpassed that of the military generals. After the Tumubao Incident, it completely surpassed the military generals group.
Above all, the Ming Dynasty turned into a thoroughly civilized era.
Although Wang Xian didn't know what far-sighted moves San Yang had made in the next twenty years, there was no doubt that all three of them were capable of forcing the all-powerful emperor back into the harem and knocking down the arrogant generals.
A powerful man with unparalleled strategizing!
Among them, Yang Shiqi is the most outstanding one...
Wang Xian knew this, so he decided to drag Yang Shiqi into the water no matter what, so that they could get along happily in the future. It was precisely because he believed in Yang Shiqi's ability that he could turn things around, so Wang Xian was able to plant his seeds here with peace of mind.
Cai, if Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong were not in the cabinet at this moment, Wang Xian would have broken out of the prison long ago by letting his men rob the prison.
Yang Shiqi had always been puzzled before as to why Wang Xian was placed under house arrest in Dongchang without any struggle. If he were to know, it was largely because Wang Xian believed in his ability and hoped to force him to take action.
I can't get angry and smoke from my seven orifices.
However, Yang Shiqi also sent the gold seal, and seemed to have understood Wang Xian's wishful thinking, and wanted to force him to take over this burden and continue on their behalf.
In this way, it can be regarded as tit for tat...
In the small courtyard, facing Dai Hua's question about the 'third sheep', Wang Xian could only vaguely respond. He patted the dirt on his trouser legs, stood up with his knees up and said, "Ask Wu Wei to send the two secret edicts to the prince and the emperor."
Leave it in the hands of your grandson."
"Sir, do you still want to get involved?" Dai Hua looked at Wang Xian. He had always felt that his master was imprisoned because he wanted to stay out of the matter, not to cause trouble, and not to get involved in the old Zhu family's troubles!
"Nonsense." Wang Xian said with a bitter smile: "The three bachelors are probably in prison now. If I continue to pretend to be dead, I will really be close to death." As he said that, his expression sank.
He glanced at Gu Xiaolian, whose eyes were dull, and said coldly: "What's more, the revenge that should be avenged has not been avenged, so we have to mix it up even if we don't!"
"Yes!" Dai Hua's expression perked up when he heard this. He had been locked up in this small space for two full months. He felt like his whole body was getting rusty. He asked excitedly: "Sir! What should we do?"
"Plant the land well." Wang Xian replied seriously.
"Ah?" Dai Hua was completely confused.
"Okay, don't worry about it. Wu Wei, Mr. Yan and the others know what to do." Wang Xian smiled and patted his shoulder: "Let's wait patiently for a hero to descend from the sky and rescue us from the sea of misery."
"Hey..." Dai Hua had no choice but to hold back all the questions...
The sky is getting late, and the setting sun is like blood.
The city of Beijing was in chaos. The officers and soldiers of the Dongchang Jinyi Guards poured out from the Dongchang alleys and rushed to all directions of the capital. Soon, the unique sounds of the factory guards' spiked boots stomping on the ground, the friction of iron chains, and the extremely vicious sounds of the officers and soldiers were heard.
The shouts resounded throughout the streets and alleys of Beijing.
The people in the capital have become accustomed to this kind of terrifying atmosphere these days. Shops have closed down and closed their doors, and people have gone home and closed their doors. However, they still can't change their nature of watching the excitement, secretly watching the people whizzing by through the cracks in the door.
There was a long queue, and we couldn't help but whisper.
"This time it looks unusual." An experienced and discerning person quickly noticed the difference. "Usually arresting people wouldn't be in such a big battle..."
"Yeah, does it look like there's going to be a war?" The person next to me thought deeply.
"What? A war?!" This frightened many people: "Then how are you going to live like this!"
The adults at this time had all gone through the Jingnan War. They knew that once a war broke out, the common people would be inferior to pigs and dogs. How could they survive?
"From now on, the whole city is under martial law! The city gates are closed and no one is allowed to enter or leave!" At this time, a loud and rude order was heard from the streets to the ears of the people. "From now on, the curfew is strict, and no one is allowed to go out during the day without any reason.
, Anyone who goes out at night or during the day without any reason will be put in jail!"
"Fortunately, it's just martial law..." Many people breathed a sigh of relief.
"You have no idea," a mature person said worriedly, "Every time there is a big event, martial law will be imposed. If there is such a martial law, something big will happen!"
"Scared! What a big deal! Could it be that the emperor died?" someone else asked in a trembling voice.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'll take you to jail!" The mature man said in a stern tone.
"Chengcheng, you're not talking nonsense." The others shrank in fear and watched a group of Dongchang fans enter the Huaishu Alley in front. They couldn't help but widened their eyes and said: "They went to Xueshi Yang's house!".
Yang Shiqi's bachelor's residence was given by the emperor. It had three courtyards and no east-west courtyards, so it was not very big. However, most of his family members were in his hometown in Jiangxi. The only people who followed him in Beijing were his second son Yang Dao and an old servant.
Two maids. Moreover, Yang Shiqi rarely returned to the house, so the whole house always seemed empty.
But today, the Bachelor's Mansion was filled with evil guests. Countless Dongchang fans swarmed in through the open door, and the ground in the small courtyard trembled.
"Separately search! Don't let anyone go!" Ma De, the number two man in Dongchang, personally led the team and shouted the order as soon as they came in.
Dongchang Fanzi immediately divided into several groups, poured into every courtyard and every room, and began a thorough search. Ma De led a group of men and went straight to the main room in the middle courtyard.
In the main room, Yang Shiqi said to his son who was standing aside: "Don't be afraid, don't embarrass your ancestors."
Yang Dao nodded with a pale complexion, pursed his lips tightly and looked at the people from Dongchang who were swarming in.
Ma De and others rushed into the room and were stunned. They saw Yang Shiqi sitting on the official hat chair, with his son standing beside him. But what caught the attention of Ma De and others was the bright black mouth in front of Yang Shiqi.
coffin.
He clearly had no intention of coming out of prison alive.
"Yang Shiqi!" Ma De calmed down and said with a fierce face: "You are suspected of murdering the royal concubine and stealing the emperor's seal. Come with us!"
"There's no need to blame someone if you want to." Yang Shiqi smiled calmly, as if the other party just came to invite him to be a guest.
"Locked!" Ma De couldn't stand the civil servant's arrogance of "not changing even when the mountain collapses", so he gritted his teeth and waved his hand.
Immediately, four police officers came forward with chains, but Yang Shiqi still sat there motionless. Two police officers put the chains around his neck, put handcuffs and shackles on him, then passed the iron ropes through the shackles, and added
