lied to Kangxi

Chapter 286 Showdown
"How's the weather outside?" Kangxi asked Yuzhu inexplicably.

If it is an ordinary person, they must think that Kangxi is asking about the weather.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yu Zhu whispered: "The Confucian Temple is directly opposite, there is a lot of traffic, there is a crowd of people, and relatives and nobles are like a cloud."

Lao Ba's mansion is facing the Confucian Temple.

"Okay, okay, okay, what a crowded place." Kangxi suddenly raised his head, and ordered Yuzhu lightly, "You protect Wei Zhu, go and send Zhang Mingde on the road."

"Hey." Yuzhu quickly knelt down and accepted the emperor's order.

After Zhang Mingde was captured, he was locked in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

Yuzhu ordered a group of guards with knives, surrounded Wei Zhu, and rode straight to the punishment department.

In the past, Yuzhu lived in Toujia Lane.Toujia Lane is only a stone's throw away from the Yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

When he arrived at the main gate of the Ministry of Punishment, Yuzhu pulled the saddle off his horse, held up the golden order in his hand, and shouted sharply: "According to the order, idlers stay away."

The officers guarding the Ministry of Punishment knelt aside one after another when they saw Yu Zhu and Wei Zhu, who were wearing yellow mandarin jackets and holding high the golden order.

An Bulu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, invited Yuzhu and Wei Zhu into his office with a look of surprise.

"Master Wei, foreman Yu, who are you two?" An Bulu politely wanted to ask why he came.

Yuzhu didn't say anything, Wei Zhu took half a step forward, and said coldly: "By order, I'm asking the demon Taoist Zhang Mingde."

"Hey." An Bulu couldn't help trembling when he heard Zhang Mingde's three words.

finally come!

Accompanied by An Bulu, Yuzhu brought people out of the gloomy dungeon to propose Zhang Mingde.

Wei Zhu glanced at Zhang Mingde who had been gagged and packed in a sack, and said coldly, "I have Lao An Shangshu, please accompany me for a while."

An Bulu's heart sank suddenly. Tomorrow morning, the emperor will officially announce who the new crown prince will be at the Palace of Imperial Harmony.

There is no way, Wei Zhu is on a mission, so An Bulu has to go with Yu Zhu and the others.

A group of people escorted Zhang Mingde to the west of Princess Grave.

Gongzhufen is a folk saying, and the official name is County Junzhong.

Because, what was buried here was 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 the howling of wolves can be heard from time to time.

Wei Zhu glanced at Yuzhu, and said lightly, "Foreman Yu, it's your turn."

Yuzhu didn't say a word, walked straight to the sack, and squatted down.

"Brush." ​​Yuzhu pulled out a sharp dagger, through the sack, grabbed the braid on Zhang Mingde's head with one hand, and stabbed it into the neck with all his strength with the other hand.

Zhang Mingde only trembled once, and then he was completely paralyzed, he must be dead.

The sack was soon stained red by the spurted blood.

After waiting for about half an hour, Yu Zhu opened the mouth of the sack and pulled out his waist knife.

Yuzhu grabbed Zhang Mingde's braid with one hand, raised the knife with the other, and slashed it viciously, "Crack." Zhang Mingde's head was cut off immediately.

Fortunately, Yuzhu has practiced riding and shooting for a long time, otherwise, his knife might not be able to break Zhang Mingde's neck bone.

The old rule in the palace is to meet people when you live, and to meet your head when you die.

First, the first level too!
Yuzhu's work is very beautiful.There were only a few drops of blood splashed on his body, and he was not sprayed with corpse blood, and he was in a mess.

After handing over Zhang Mingde's head to the guards holding the wooden box, Yu Zhu took out the big handkerchief in his bosom, wiped his hands vigorously, wiped off the blood on the dagger and waist knife, and threw it away casually. handkerchief.

"Come here, light the fire and burn him." Yuzhu ordered, and the guards under him hurriedly lit the fire, threw Zhang Mingde's body into the fire, and burned it to ashes.

After everything was settled, Wei Zhu and Yu Zhu brought An Bulu back to the palace together.

After being reinstated, Kangxi told Yuzhu: "An Bulu will live in your dormitory, and you will stay with him."

Yuzhu knew very well in his heart that Kangxi said it very politely, but actually asked him to monitor An Bulu's intention, so as not to leak the news in advance.

After all, An Bulu is a dignified minister of the Ministry of punishment, and he has not committed any crimes, so it is impossible to tie him up and lock him up.

Yu Zhu led An Bulu to his dormitory.

The moment he entered the door, he heard An Bulu let out a long breath, and he also relaxed.

Yu Zhu smiled slightly, An Bulu is a sensible person, he must have guessed something.

However, at this juncture, if An Bulu dared to leak the secret, he would definitely lose his head.

However, even if it was impossible for Kangxi to publicly slaughter An Bulu, there are still N ways to let him die suddenly.

In order to avoid suspicion, Yu Zhu didn't go out either, but stayed in the dormitory, monitoring An Bulu.

However, the foreman, the first-class shrimp, was very powerful, and the little leaf from the imperial tea room quickly brought refreshments.

This time, Yu Zhu didn't let Xiao Yezi in, but 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.

Xiao Yezi obediently put the tray at the door, and left quickly, fearing that she might suffer from the disaster of losing her head.

Yu Zhu poured a cup of hot tea for An Bulu and handed it to him.

"Master An, the conditions are limited, only Biluochun, which I like to drink."

Hearing what Yu Zhu said, An Bulu couldn't help laughing, and joked, "It's my luck to be able to drink some hot tea."

Yuzhu has dealt with An Bulu before, and knows that he is also the old man.

"Lord An, this man, contented people are always happy." Yu Zhu silently warned An Bulu that even if he guessed something, he would never send any news to the outside world.

Although An Bulu has always supported Lao Ba, he has served as Minister of the Ministry of Punishments for a long time, and he is used to seeing all kinds of dangerous things, and he is very aware of the severity of them.

Yuzhu stared so closely, and was under the eyes of the emperor, even if he had a chance to leak out to the old man, how would An Bulu dare?

Before leaving Qianliang, when the shift was about to turn over, Kangxi looked for Yuzhu again.

"I've been searching for a long time, why didn't I see your memorial?" Kangxi asked Yuzhu very strangely.

Yuzhu secretly lifted his spirits, he had been waiting for this question for a long time.

"I haven't written the script yet." Yuzhu told the truth, and did not deceive Kangxi.

"Why?" Kangxi suddenly became interested, and asked the question to the end.

"I am the bodyguard of the imperial foreman, and everything is subject to your wishes, old man."

Because it was a private conversation, there were no outsiders in the room, so Yuzhu didn't follow the rules and follow the red tape of the monarch and his ministers.

"Oh." Kangxi had expected that the jade pillar would slip by, and then ordered, "I'll give you half an hour, and I'll write a note right away."

Yuzhu understood immediately, Kangxi wanted to see clearly his standing in line.

"Whoo."

Kangxi already knew Yuzhu very well, and with Yuzhu's talent, he could write a memorial in a hurry, let alone half an hour, even if it was half an hour.

Inside the hall, there are many Four Treasures of Study.

Yu Zhu knelt down beside the small desk, picked up the pen and licked the ink, and finished the memorial that had been drafted long ago, and it only took half a quarter of an hour before and after.

"Please take a look at it." Yu Zhu held the folder in his hand and held it in front of Kangxi with both hands.

Kangxi took Yuzhu's memorial, opened it, carefully read it three times, and suddenly sighed softly: "I didn't misread you, this is the most loyal!
Yu Zhu was not overjoyed when he received the emperor's praise, but instead said solemnly: "Loyalty to the emperor is the duty of a minister, so I don't deserve such a compliment from you."

"Well, get out, escort the Hall of Supreme Harmony tomorrow!" Kangxi put down the folder in his hand, waved his hand, and set a good position for Yuzhu in advance.

The so-called guarding the Hall of Supreme Harmony, ordinary people must not understand it.

Only the people around the emperor can understand the truth.

Just when Yuzhu was about to go out, Kangxi suddenly stopped him.

"Oh, I'm getting old, and I almost missed a major event. Here, this is a formality for the transfer of the military guard battalion."

Temporarily mobilizing the Wuwei battalion to escort the palace, this is Kangxi's great trust in Yuzhu.

However, in Yu Zhu's heart, there was not much joy.

Nima, Kangxi's heart and eyes are really numerous.There is a hole in the left hand, a trap in the right hand, and the means of probing are endless.

After making Yuzhu, I was a little tired.

In the morning of the second day, when it was just dawn, some ministers came outside the gate of the palace.

The gatekeepers were still Ouchi's guards, but when they arrived in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, everyone noticed an astonishing change.

I saw rows of soldiers wearing new-style military uniforms, one post at three steps and one sentry at five steps, completely surrounding the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Yuzhu has always been willing to spend money to raise soldiers, not to mention anything else, the soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion are not wearing the usual straw sandals or cloth shoes, but long military boots.

How should I put it, Kangxi also wanted to use Wuweiying as a pilot.Moreover, the total number of people in the Wuwei Battalion is only more than [-] people, and the financial and material resources of the Military Equipment Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs can also supply them.

If there are tens of thousands of pairs of long military boots, it is obviously impossible.

"Hey, why are they all the top soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion?"

"You're wrong, it should be the Wuwei Battalion under the Guarding Army Battalion."

"Oh, it's your old man who knows the details."

"Hey, even the guards have been changed, today is a bad day!"

Someone noticed something was wrong and turned his head to report to Lao Ba, but was stopped by the officer of the Wuwei Battalion.

In today's Hall of Supreme Harmony, people are allowed to enter but not to leave.For those who act rashly, one body will be taken down first, and then punished.

This is Kangxi's oral order.

At this time, Yu Zhu was standing on the left side of the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Today, the security work around the Hall of Supreme Harmony is handled by Norob himself in the hall, while the Wuweiying takes over the outside of the hall.

After Yuzhu received the news, he smiled coldly, and ordered: "Take it down first, shut up, and wait for what the emperor has to say."

"Whoo."

Yu Zhu stood tall and could see far away, just in time to see Li Guangdi walking from a distance.

Hehe, Yuzhu understood very well, Kangxi hinted that Li Guangdi would let the ministers know and let everyone recommend Yinreng to be the crown prince again.

However, Kangxi did not expect that Li Guangdi was actually the lurking Eighth Lord Party, and he never conveyed Kangxi's true intentions to the officials.

Today's Hall of Supreme Harmony, the picture is poor.

It's time for the showdown!
