Jinyi Night Walk

Xia Xun smiled and ignored him. She retreated, her feet spread out, her hands were held high, her palms were still like balls, she looked up at the skylight above her head, she relaxed her shoulders and lowered her waist, and continued to practice kung fu.

Huang Zhen's body was really failing. He only insisted on doing a few movements with Xia Xun, and then he was so tired that he lay down on the couch and yawned.He pulled the bran-filled pillow, and just as he closed his eyes, he heard "cracking" and "clanging" in the distance.

It was the sound of the iron fence door opening and closing again. Because of the silence in the prison, the sound spread far away, Huang Zhen immediately raised his head.He lived in this prison for two days, and gradually got a taste of it. He already knew the approximate time when he would patrol the prison, when he would deliver food, and when he would pick up the toilet bucket.

Huang Zhen got up in a daze, and turned his head to see that Xia Xun raised his hands high, like holding a ball, but what he was holding was a beam of light cast by the skylight. It seemed that this movement did not alarm him at all.Huang Zhen didn't dare to call him, but just jumped off the wooden couch, stepped on straw with bare feet, hurriedly climbed to the gate of the fence, and looked out sideways.

Far away, an exclamation came from the outermost side of the cell, "God, why did you come in!"

It seemed that several criminals exclaimed at the same time, but the voices were mixed with each other, so some words could not be heard clearly. Huang was really anxious, wishing to squeeze his head out of the fence, impatiently thinking : "Who is this, who is coming in again!"

"Old Man Yang! It's Old Man Yang!"

"Ah! There is also Huang Ge, and Huang Ge!"

As the footsteps approached, Huang Zhen couldn't help screaming when he saw the criminal being brought in, and turned his head hastily to report to Xia Xun.

Xia Xun regained his posture and walked quickly to the prison door. Yang Rong and Huang Huai had already been brought in front of him. The two elders stopped slowly and looked at Xia Xun.Xia Xun cupped his hands and said, "Old Man Yang, Old Man Hu!"

Yang Rong and Huang Huai also bowed to him outside: "Duke, Master Huang!"

They were relatively silent to each other.

The jailer saw that the two cells on the opposite side were empty, so he said, "Open the cell door!"

The cell door opened, and Yang and Huang, two cabinet scholars, were put into a cell respectively. Once the cell door was locked, all the jailers left.

Only then did Huang Zhen shout to the opposite side: "Mr. Yang Ge, Mr. Huang Ge, why are you two imprisoned?"

Yang Rong smiled faintly, and said: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate impeached the prince, and Yang was accused of forming a party for the prince's guarantee. Brother Jie'an, hehe, he is guilty of the same crime as Yang."

Huang Huai nodded to the two with a smile.

Huang Zhen said to Xia Xun with a mournful face: "Duke, it is unprecedented for the emperor to make such a big move in the Yongle Dynasty. The cabinet will soon be moved to the imperial prison!"

Xia Xun smiled and said, "Do you remember what I told you?"

Huang Zhen's face became even more bitter, and his face was wrinkled like a daisy, and he said: "The officer will naturally remember, it's just such a one or two catch, when will this place be full?"

Xia Xun comforted him and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, hurry up, it's coming soon!"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The situation in the court is changing rapidly.

Yu Shiji led a group of people to write a letter to impeach the prince's misconduct, and Chen Ying led a group of people to write a letter, demanding that Xie Jin's party should be traced, and they were pressing and aggressive.Yang Rong, a scholar of the cabinet, fought back to protect the prince, who was accused of being part of the prince's party, and was imprisoned to wait for participation.Huang Huai, a cabinet scholar, continued to write letters, and the emperor immediately sent him to prison again with a decree.

There were originally seven academicians in the cabinet. Among them, Hu Yan, an academician, was transferred to the Imperial College during Zhu Di's first tour to the north. Xie Jin was demoted first, and now he was sent to prison with Yang Rong and Huang Huai. It is the cabinet scholar and Donggong Zuo Yude who was also sent to prison. If this calculation is made, there are only two people left in the cabinet.

One is Hu Guang, who has always been swaying soy sauce in terms of political stance, and the other is Jin Youzi, who ranks last among the seven cabinet scholars and is soft-spoken.So far, the cabinet has completely lost the ability to fight against the emperor in terms of government affairs, and has become dispensable, only the secretary who obeys orders

Xia Xun silently calculated a series of recent personnel changes in the court, and muttered to himself, "Soon, it's time to cast the next net..."

In the Palace of the King of Han, because of the victory in the first battle, all the party members celebrated with each other.

Yu Shiji smiled and said: "The emperor issued an order to promote Hu Guang to be a Bachelor of Hanlin and a Bachelor of Zuochunfang. Now he seems to be the chief assistant of the cabinet. Hehe, this treacherous guy, although his daughter's marriage has not been settled, but for his sake He repented of the marriage, forced his daughter to cut off her ears to show her will, and won the Sacred Heart, and now she has finally received a rich reward."

Chen Ying said disdainfully: "There are only two people left in the cabinet now, Hu Guang is a scumbag, and Jin Youzi is a soft-spoken person. What is there to look at in such a cabinet?"

He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "If you want to plant flowers, they won't bloom, but if you don't, you will plant willows and willows to make shade! Now, we not only beat the princelings to pieces, but also the Jiangxi faction, which is the most powerful official in the court. There are seven academicians in the cabinet, five from Jiangxi, and three of them who dare to speak out have been sent to the Imperial Prison. The remaining two old cousins, Hu Guang and Jin Youzi, one is afraid to speak out, and the other will not speak up even if they dare to speak up. No one listens, hehe...

Yu Shiji's eyes lit up, and he said, "That's right, if your lord doesn't say it, the lower officials haven't thought of it yet. Let me do the math, Xie Jin, Yang Rongrong, Huang Huai, and Yang Shiqi from the cabinet, Chen Shou and Chen Ming from the six departments , Lang Siwen, Jun Xingjian, Xing Lingshan, Zhao Feng, as well as Geng Tong and Ye Lan from Dali Temple, and Murong Hao from the General Administration..."

The more Yu Shiji talked, the more excited he became, and Chen Ying added, "There is also Huang Zhen from the Procuratorate!"

Yu Shiji said: "That's right, there is also Huang Zhen, that old man Huang Zhen is also from Jiangxi. Oh, if you do the math, at least half of the officials who went to prison this time are from Jiangxi, hahaha, The Jiangxi faction suffered heavy casualties, especially most of the people imprisoned were high-ranking figures in important positions, it can be said that their vitality has been greatly injured, not bad, not bad, what a windfall."

Chen Ying sneered and said, "Half of the courtiers are Gan people, and there are many people from Jiangxi who are officials. If they are unlucky, they will naturally be implicated."

King Zhu Gaoxu of the Han Dynasty was like a monkey who couldn't sit still, and said with an itchy heart: "Don't pay attention to the old Jiangxi cousin. Now the cabinet and the six ministries have been defeated, but my eldest brother still sits firmly in the East Palace, and the emperor just doesn't say anything. For the word waste storage, you guys have to come up with a way!"

Chen Ying comforted: "Your Highness, don't worry, Ji Gang and His Highness are already connected?"

The King of Han said: "That's right, he made someone implicitly express his intention to contribute to me, and I also gave him a hint, as long as he obediently works for me, it will naturally benefit him in the future."

Chen Ying said with a smile: "Now we need him to be used by His Highness, the chiefs of the department, because the emperor has not yet been convicted, he dare not move, but the younger officials are fine, so ask him to use torture to extract confessions from these people , continue to arrest people, waiting until everyone in the court is in danger, are you afraid that they will not fall to His Highness?

At that time, I will go to the book again, and directly ask Your Highness to make you the crown prince, and take the position of the crown prince in one go.At that time, not only no civil and military officials dared to object anymore, but they had to please His Highness one after another.

The King of Han Jingran said: "That's right! Sun Lu, you come!"

The King of Han hurriedly called Sun Lu, his confidant, and whispered something in a low voice, Sun Lu nodded and said

At this time, Wang Jie, the governor of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, saw that the overall situation was about to be settled, but he had no skill in his hands, so he rushed forward and said: "I am now in charge of the guards in Zhejiang, and the Shuangyu guards have always been in close contact with Yang Xu. This group Although the pirates have been subservient to the imperial court for many years, they have always formed a line of their own, monolithic, and outsiders can't get in their hands. These pirates are even more rebellious, so they have constant friction with the Zhejiang water and land guards, and the relationship has always been very stiff.

In the past, Yang Xu kept them, so there would be no major incidents, but now Yang Xu can't protect himself, so it's better for the ministers to instruct the Zhejiang guards to find fault with them.These people have the nature of pirates, as long as they are squeezed out for a little bit, there will be quarrels. If they are asked to make some troubles... Hehe, it's hard for Yang Xu not to die! "

The King of Han was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Okay, hurry up and do it, remember, don't leave anything behind!"

Chen Ying didn't want to make extravagant incidents, but after thinking about it, although Xia Xun had already been imprisoned, it still made him afraid, especially the news from the prison that Xia Xun was so carefree that he almost regarded the prison as a place for self-cultivation. With Chen Ying's always suspicious character, even though the situation has become clear, he still has to worry that Xia Xun still has someone behind him, if he can be put to death

As soon as this thought changed, Chen Ying didn't stop her, and only told her: "Don't make a big fuss, especially don't cast a lottery over things that are full of loopholes like accusing Shuangyu of rebellion and attacking the navy. Just stir up trouble a little bit. That's it."

Dudu Wang is from the army, and when he heard Chen Ying pointing fingers at him, the boss was displeased, and said, "It's better not to make small troubles!"

Yu Shiji smiled and said: "The governor doesn't know something. As long as there is a small incident on your side, it will be a big deal after I have polished it up by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and reported it to the emperor. Hehe, literati kill people. A bald pen, so far, the governor still doesn't know the methods of our literati?"

The king of Han nodded his head and said: "Well, Master Yu's words are reasonable, Wang Jie, act accordingly, don't make arbitrary claims, and ruin this king's great affairs!"

Wang Jie had no choice but to nod in agreement.

On the Yang family's martial arts arena, Xiao Ying was still dressed in men's clothing, but in a military uniform with arrow sleeves, looking heroic.

She stood sideways, holding a big bow, and a pot of carved feathers on her shoulders. She drew the bow and set the arrows in one go. In the bullseye, nine arrows gathered together, like the tail wings of a strange bird.

Dressed in a white dress, she was pretty and cute, with a childish face like a little fox who had just learned the shapeshifting technique. Xian Ya stood aside, her mouth opened into an O-shape, and her eyes sparkled with red hearts: "Miss Sakura, You are so good, my old man can't shoot so accurately!"

Sakura's tenth arrow has just been strung, and the thumb of her right hand, which is holding the bowstring tightly, wears a black iron finger, pulling the bow like a full moon, and it is ready to be fired. The sharp cluster of arrows has already locked the bull's-eye. Suddenly, she said Thinking of Xia Xun, I felt an inexplicable irritability in my heart. The tenth arrow flew away, missed the target, and hit the wall with a single stroke. (To be continued.
