Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 606
The palace before dinner is always more lively than usual. Everyone has finished their day's work, and there is always time to rest at night. Everyone is relaxed, and the noise of talking and laughing is inevitably louder than during the day.

But today's night was unusually quiet. Since noon, the strong eunuchs and guards of the Jingchang began to arrest people everywhere. It is said that they all believe in the Sanyang Sect, and they plan to cause chaos in the palace tonight.

Arresting people is not counted, several bigwigs in the palace are furious, saying that these religious believers will be beheaded, and the people who chose them into the palace and their relatives outside the palace will be tracked down, and they will be severely punished.

I don't know how many people will lose their heads, and I don't know how many people will be implicated. Everyone in the palace is panicked. I don't know if I will be implicated, and I don't know if the people around me will be implicated. Laughing here.

Emperor Wanli originally returned to Concubine Zheng's side at noon, but was called over by someone from the Palace of Compassion and Ning in the afternoon, and his face was gloomy when he came back.

Now that Wang Tong and others are here, Emperor Wanli also has someone to tell.

"My mother believes that Zhang Siwei, Minister of the Ministry of War, is loyal and reliable, and he is a suitable candidate to succeed the chief assistant. Feng Daban also agrees."

I thought that after Zhang Juzheng died of illness, he could control the government affairs, but he didn't expect that he was still a puppet for others. To take over, the sequence is also reasonable.

If Emperor Wanli appointed it himself, then that would be fine, but this motion was issued by the Palace of Compassion and Peace, which made Emperor Wanli extremely depressed.

It has been suppressed for ten years by the Iron Triangle of Empress Dowager Li, Feng Bao, and Zhang Juzheng. Could it be that a new triangle will come out after ten years of suppression?

"...What's annoying is that the widow still has to agree..."

At the end, Emperor Wanli said something angrily, Wang Tong shook his head, considered his words, and said:
"Your Majesty doesn't need to get angry about this matter. The choice of chief assistant can also calm the minds of the people in the world. When everything calms down, it won't be too late for Your Majesty to plan slowly."

From Wang Tong's point of view, it would be more advantageous if Shen Shixing, who had been with him for a long time, could take the position of chief assistant, but now is not the time to worry about it.

"Slowly... the widow has been waiting for a few years, do you want to..."

"Long Live Lord, this servant interrupted, it's not the time to worry about this right now, let's talk about other things after the evils in the palace are completely cleared up in the past few nights!!"

Zhang Cheng said a word of persuasion, but he couldn't say that he was in a good mood. When Zhang Siwei came to power, it was Feng Bao's suggestion again. His position in the palace did not change at all, and he was also suppressed.

**************
There was chaos in the palace, and naturally there was no room for negligence in all aspects. The Compassionate Ning Palace, the Supervisor of Rituals, the Ministry of War and the Metropolitan Procuratorate wrote a letter to inform them that all the soldiers and horses in the capital should not move rashly and be vigilant at all times.

In the afternoon, Xia Yuancheng, deputy general of the Beijing camp, summoned all the generals of the Beijing camp in the camp outside the city. He was fully clothed and ordered in a stern voice:
"Now the capital is in a state of uneasiness, all ministries are restraining their soldiers, and they are not allowed to act rashly. If anyone violates the order, a military law will be enacted!!!"

At this moment, if there is any order to enter the capital to calm the chaos, there will be chaos immediately, but the deployment of the battalions to strictly guard their posts is quite satisfactory, and the generals will naturally obey.

**************
It was getting dark, and although it was quiet everywhere, people of all kinds related to Concubine Zheng's palace felt very nervous.

Concubine Zheng had already ordered that the palace servants who were not in the palace to wait for the order should not come out of the room no matter what noise they heard at night, otherwise they would be shot.

In the past few days, some strange eunuchs lived in several rooms in the front yard. Many of Concubine Zheng's palace saw it, and also saw that Emperor Wanli often went in to chat and laugh, and since those strange eunuchs moved in, The maids and eunuchs on Concubine Zheng's side were strictly forbidden to go out, and Zhao Jinliang helped arrange all the errands.

Everyone didn't know what was going on, but they also knew that it was unusual. Seeing the faces of the masters getting more gloomy and serious day by day, they naturally became nervous.

"After a while, please invite your majesty and the imperial concubine to go to the back room. There are three houses on the front yard, and ten people can still see them. Eunuch Zhang and Xiao Liang also go in to serve them! It is enough to have ministers waiting outside!"

Wang Tong looked west at the door, the sky on the imperial city walls dimmed little by little, and the stars in the sky gradually brightened. Emperor Wanli looked at the armed people in the room, and felt his throat was a little dry, but at the same time he felt extremely excited.

He was a little scared, but he also felt that he was fighting with his companions, vaguely had the feeling of going to gang fights with martial arts boys back then.

"My widow... I will stay here to help you!!"

Wang Tong raised his eyebrows, turned around and said:
"Your Majesty's golden body, if there is any damage, what will happen to the country and the land of the Ming Dynasty, please rest assured, Your Majesty will be able to protect His Majesty comprehensively!"

The others clasped their fists and bowed, saying in unison:

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Emperor Wanli only felt that his throat was blocked by something, and nodded vigorously. The atmosphere in the room was a bit heavy. Zhang Cheng, who was beside him, clapped his hands and said:
"It hasn't been fought yet, and there may be nothing wrong tonight, so why make it look like a battlefield!"

When he said this, everyone came to their senses. First, Emperor Wanli couldn't help but laugh out loud, and everyone laughed along with him, and the atmosphere in the room improved a lot.

Wang Tong smiled and clasped his fists, at this moment, Zhao Jinliang shouted outside:

"The imperial concubine has arrived!"

Wang Tong made gestures with everyone, and everyone turned their backs. After a short while, an elegant fragrance of cosmetic powder wafted in the room, and a soft voice said in the room:

"The wealth and lives of the emperor and this palace are entrusted to you!"

If you turn around, you will see the appearance of the noble concubine, this is a big disrespect, Wang Tong and others turned their backs and said:

"Your Majesty is serious, this is the duty of the ministers."

When the house was quiet and the door of the inner room was closed, Wang Tong and his team turned around, and looked at the completely dark sky outside, Wang Tong opened his mouth and said:
"Chen Dahe, go to the roof and look around to see what's going on!"

The man named Big Brother Chen was thin and dexterous, he hurriedly walked out of the house after hearing the order, Sun Xin and Li Tao also followed out, they built a bridge and lifted him up.

**************
It was getting dark, and a soft sedan chair was parked in front of the palace where King Lu Zhu Yichun lived. Two young eunuchs hurried over to lift the curtain of the sedan chair, and greeted him with a smile:
"Eunuch Lin, you are here, His Royal Highness Lu Wang said that he misses you!"

Lin Shulu shook his head with a smile, and the people around him took out two silver coins and handed them to the little eunuch on duty. The two people smiled even more, and said flatteringly:
"His Royal Highness Lu really kisses you old, and said that if you sleep without Eunuch Lin by your side, you will not be able to sleep well."

"Your Highness is close to our family. It is a blessing that our family cultivated in our previous life. That's all right, let's lead our family in!"

After a few jokes, the two young eunuchs quickly let people in.

When he arrived at King Lu's bedroom, King Lu had already changed into a pale yellow nightgown. When he saw Lin Shulu coming in, he walked forward with a smile and said:
"If you don't have Lin Banban to accompany you, you won't be able to sleep well."

Lin Shulu looked at King Lu lovingly, and said in a low voice:
"It's getting late, His Royal Highness King Lu should go to bed first, the old slave will take care of everything."

King Lu nodded vigorously, grabbed Lin Shulu's hand and shook it, and said solemnly:
"My king is going to sleep first, and everything will be left to Lin Banban."

"The maidservant is here to accompany His Royal Highness King Lu. Please sleep peacefully, Your Highness, maybe when you wake up, there will be good things waiting for Your Highness!"

There seemed to be no deep meaning in the words of the two parties. Lu Wang smiled happily and got into the quilt by himself. The weather was hot and the quilt was very thin. Lin Shulu stepped forward to stuff the corner of the quilt, and said with concern:
"Your Highness, don't catch a cold."

After speaking, he sat on the chair beside the bed. Lin Shulu took out a pill from his arms, crushed it, swallowed it directly, and leaned against the back of the chair to rest his eyes. At this moment, there was a sudden bird cry outside, and Lin Shulu's eyes Opening it suddenly, King Lu on the bed said:
"Lin Banban, this king can't sleep, let's tell a story, I haven't heard Lin Banban's story for a long time..."

Lin Shulu pondered for a while, and slowly said:
"I've told the prince for so many years, and the slaves don't have any new stories... Let's tell the prince a story about our family!"

Calling yourself "our family" in front of King Lu is already rude, but King Lu didn't seem to notice, he just turned around and looked at Lin Shulu.

"Our family lost its parents a year before entering the palace, and we are five brothers..."

**************
"The place where the dragon aura is located is the place where the Buddha descended. If you don't remove the dragon aura, the Buddha will not descend either. Brothers, let's go together!"

"...Isn't that a rebellion... We worship Buddha, what are we doing with a knife..."

"At this time of year, it's impossible not to go. We want to worship Buddha in peace, but in the afternoon, the palace began to cull our brothers in the religion. I have already got the news from the prison. We will be arrested and killed tomorrow. ..."

Li Quan was holding a sharpened wooden stick in his hand, the leaders in front were holding steel knives, and beside him were a large group of eunuchs with different expressions. After walking through three intersections, dozens of people had gathered, some of them There is fanaticism on the face, some people are panic, some are voluntary, and some are coerced.

The road was quiet, I don't know if I was prepared, if I didn't prepare, everything would be too late, Li Quan looked left and right, thoughts kept turning in his mind, thinking of his dead parents, his elder brother, and his younger siblings who were still in Tianjin Wei, but saw There is a barrier of guards ahead.

Li Quan gritted his teeth and ran out of the crowd. The eunuchs were caught off guard and shouted curses behind them, but they couldn't catch up in a short time.

"Some people want to rebel, and some people want to kill Long Live God!!"

While running, Li Quan shouted hissingly, a dozen or so guards had already blocked the road... Why, the guard in front of him was waving his hand, could it be that he greeted him, but it was wrong, why was he sneering...

There was a flash of saber in front of him, and he slashed towards Li Quan...
