Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 224 Jin Ying's Letter
The night was dark, and the clear moonlight sprinkled on the snow in the courtyard, reflecting a silver light.

Shu Liang was dressed in plain clothes, standing on the porch at the entrance of Kunning Palace and waiting.

Although he had already put on clean clothes, he still couldn't hide the tiredness and dust on his face.

He rode back overnight, almost without stopping along the way.

Although he had practiced some superficial martial arts in the palace in his early years, Shu Liang was not a practicing family son.

After running around for several days, his thighs were left with deep bloodstains. Although he had repeatedly bandaged and applied medicine, he still had a dull pain.

However, after pinching the item in his sleeve, Shu Liang felt that all the hardships these days were worth it!

The door of the palace was pushed open a small gap, Shu Liang felt a gust of hot air rushing towards his face, and then, a young servant stepped out and said.

"Shu Gonggong, the emperor has summoned you, please come in with our house."

Shu Liang hurriedly took a step forward, a polite smile floated on his somewhat frozen face, and said.

"There is Father Lao Xing."

After so many years in the palace, Shu Liang has gone through ups and downs, and he is even more skilled in dealing with people.

Although he is now in charge of Dongchang, he can be regarded as a big peng among the eunuchs, but he is more cautious.

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and two golden lockets fell into the former's hand.

Xing'an's hand sank, reflecting the light in the palace man's hand, he caught a glimpse of the golden light in his hand, he put it back into his sleeve casually, but said politely on his face.

"Shu Gonggong is being polite, this, our family should be ashamed of it."

Shu Liang followed Xing'an and walked in. Hearing this, he also laughed.

"Who is worthy of what you say, no one in the palace knows. The emperor and the empress are deeply in love. Our family works for the emperor, and Mr. Xing does for the empress. What are the divisions between each other?"

The words are affectionate, but Xing'an is also training in the palace these days, and he is no longer the little servant who was so happy that he couldn't find Bei after hearing a few flattering words.

The footsteps stopped for a while, Xing'an raised something softly, and said.

"Shu Gonggong went in, there is no need to exaggerate, just talk about the matter directly."

Shu Liang had an idea in his mind, and he was thinking about how to play it right.

After crossing a series of palace gates, he finally came to the main hall.

With his head down, he walked into the hall lightly, and Shu Liang saw the emperor reclining on the couch, his eyes slightly closed, and no joy or anger could be seen on his calm face.

"Slaves pay homage to the emperor."

"Get up, come here so late, what's the matter?"

Shu Liang stood up cautiously, remembering Xing'an's instructions just now, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, he directly took out an envelope wrapped in oiled paper from his sleeve, and handed it over.

"My lord, as you expected, there are indeed people on the road who want to assassinate Eunuch Jin."

"But it's not the killer, it's the Jinyiwei who escorted them. There are a few people who eat inside and outside, and they are bold."

After hearing Shu Liang's words, Zhu Qiyu opened his eyes, his calm face looked a little gloomy, he snorted coldly, and scolded softly.

"Jinyiwei?"

"How does Lu Zhong manage his subordinates, such an urgent matter, the escort team can be mixed in."

Jin Ying's assassination was something that Zhu Qiyu had expected a long time ago.

In other words, this matter was intentionally brought about by him.

At the court court, the ministers urged Shi Pu to be imprisoned and sentenced to beheaded for several crimes. Although Jin Ying committed a relatively minor crime, he should also be sent to Fengyang to guard the mausoleum.

Zhu Qiyu let him go and sent him to a Buddhist temple in the bustling Jinling to practice quietly, and graciously left his family property to let him spend the rest of his life in peace.

In this way, Queen Mother Sun will inevitably feel uneasy.

Out of a safe idea, it is a matter of course to kill people and silence them.

After leaving the capital, Jin Ying was no longer the attention of the government and the public. Da Dang, the important supervisor of ceremonies, was just an ordinary old eunuch.

To put it bluntly, he was just a decent exiled prisoner.

His life and death, the elders in the court will not take another look.

Zhu Qiyu did this because he wanted to see how much hidden power was still hidden in the hands of Queen Mother Sun.

It has to be said that the Empress Dowager Sun did not disappoint him.

Not only was he not disappointed, but his expectations were exceeded!

According to Zhu Qiyu's original thinking, the best way for Queen Mother Sun to kill her is to find someone to assassinate her.

In the homes of many honored relatives in the court, there are actually quite a few retainers.

In the previous life when Nangong was restored, Shi Heng's main force to attack Miyagi was about 3000 people, basically the retainers raised by him, Cao Jixiang and several residences of honored relatives.

These powers are invisible in normal times.

After all, a noble family in Beijing must have at least one hundred guards, and in addition, there will be three or four hundred servants.

When the imperial court wanted to investigate, they were ordinary handymen, but it was not uncommon for the servants to know martial arts in the family of a family with a long history.

He originally wanted to take this opportunity to send retainers to act for the Queen Mother who was closest to her.

But he never thought that Empress Dowager Sun would directly mobilize her staff in Jinyiwei.

Among Jin Yiwei, there are people from Queen Mother Sun, not only Queen Mother Sun, but also relatives from various families.

Different from Dongchang, Jinyiwei is a formal yamen, and those who are within the imperial court system, all the descendants of the honored relatives of each family have shade seals in it.

In recent years, Jin Yiwei's official positions, big and small, have gradually been conferred as vain titles for meritorious service.

Among them, many are directly transformed from fiction to reality.

Therefore, many people in Jinyiwei have complicated backgrounds and are officials ordered by the imperial court. They cannot be killed at will like the Dongchang fans.

Therefore, Zhu Qiyu did not force Lu Zhong to make Jinyiwei a completely airtight existence like Dongchang.

But this time he escorted Jin Ying out of Beijing, and he specifically asked Lu Zhongxuan's confidants to be responsible.

In such a situation, if the people from Jinyiwei did it themselves, then Lu Zhong can only be said to have neglected his duty!
But at this time, it was not the time to ask Lu Zhong to teach him a lesson. He raised his hand and opened the envelope that Shu Liang handed over, and Zhu Qiyu continued to ask.

"How did you move your hand, can you stop it?"

There was a hint of pride on Shu Liang's face, but he restrained himself immediately, and said.

"Going back to the emperor, the team escorting Eunuch Jin, just left Beijing for two days, they sneaked into Eunuch Jin's room at night, intending to commit murder."

"Fortunately, the servants and the Dongchang fan have long been disguised and secretly monitored. Unfortunately, seeing that the situation is not good, those thieves committed suicide by taking poison."

"But don't worry, my lord, Eunuch Jin is fine, and the maidservant, according to the lord's order, showed the secret edict to Eunuch Jin."

"After reading it, Eunuch Jin wrote a handwritten letter, and ordered the servants to hand it over to the emperor himself."

"The servant did not dare to delay, leaving half of the troops to guard Eunuch Jin and continue on the road. He returned to Beijing overnight and presented the handwriting."

Zhu Qiyu nodded, his face looked better now.

In the hearts of court officials, Jin Ying is useless, but in Zhu Qiyu's heart, he still has value.

For example, he once contacted the foreign ministers of the Empress Dowager Sun, and did things for her.

Empress Dowager Sun sent someone to assassinate him, which was a bad move.

In fact, if Jin Ying was unwilling to say these things, Zhu Qiyu would not be able to torture him severely, after all, he had made contributions to the society.

But Queen Mother Sun sent someone there, even if Jin Ying was completely pushed to the opposite side, if he wanted to survive, he had to rely on Zhu Qiyu's protection.

After carefully reading the letter sent by Jin Ying, Zhu Qiyu raised his eyes and glanced at Shu Liang, and asked.

"Has anyone else read this letter?"

Shu Liang immediately knelt down and said.

"Going back to the emperor, the slaves dare not. This letter was written by Eunuch Jin himself and sealed with wax. The servants carried it with them all the way, and they dared not leave their bodies. As soon as they entered Beijing, they immediately delivered it to the emperor. No one else Know the content."

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand, his face remained calm, and said.

"Don't be nervous, I don't doubt what you mean."

As he spoke, he ordered someone to deliver the letter to Shu Liang.

"Since you earned it so hard, let's see it!"

Shu Liang took the opened envelope, and after thanking En, he looked at it intently. After only two glances, a burst of cold sweat broke out on his head, and he said angrily.

"This group of thieves dare to collude with each other in private and plot against others. They are simply audacious."

In contrast, Zhu Qiyu was calm and said.

"I leave this matter to you. After the New Year's Day, I want a clear and clear truth. Do you understand?"

Shu Liang said with a face full of swearing.

"Don't worry, my lord, this servant will definitely find out each of these thieves and hand them over to the lord!"
