Chapter 107 Cao Zhengchun

The capital city has been the center of the country since Ming Chengzu established Beijing as his capital.The city is full of traffic and bustling.

After the construction of several generations of emperors, the Ming Palace is even more magnificent and majestic.

Who would have thought that this Forbidden City would be destroyed by war and occupied by foreigners after a hundred years?

The palace is heavily guarded, with one post at three steps and one sentry at five steps.

However, in the dark night, several figures merged into the darkness and escaped into the palace, as if entering a land without people.

It seems that he is very familiar with the layout of the palace, avoiding the sentries, and in a short while, he came to a hall.

"Yushufang!" The visitor's eyes fell on the three big characters, and his expression was slightly emotional and nostalgic.

This person is none other than Ye Jun.

In later generations, the palace of the Qing Dynasty was planned and built on the original site of the Ming Dynasty, and this imperial study is still the imperial study.

Beside Ye Jun, there was a small figure, which turned out to be Yang Yuxuan's daughter——Yang Xiaoyu.

"Mr. Ye, this is the imperial study room, where the emperor works at night! The emperor is diligent in government and loves the people. At this point, he should still be reviewing memorials."

Beside, Jia Tantou said in a low voice.This time, it was Jia Tan who led the way.

In the Ming Dynasty, due to the relationship between the system, government affairs were mostly handled by the cabinet and internal servants, so it was the case that the emperor did not go to court for decades.

However, not going to court does not mean not caring about national affairs.

Especially the young emperors, whose blood is not exhausted, most of them are still ambitious.Therefore, it is not surprising that you are still working in the middle of the night.

Puff puff……

Ye Jun walked forward indifferently. Wherever he passed, he flicked his fingers repeatedly, and he stunned the guards in the dark.

Soon, he came to the front.

The emperor is inside, only separated by a door.

Jia Tan's face turned pale, his lips trembled, and he hesitated to speak, "Mr. Ye, how do we get in?"

This is the imperial study room, and the emperor is in front of it. Could it be that he just walked in like this?

"Of course I went in!"

Ye Jun glanced at him, and said lightly: "Why, maybe we have to beat the gongs and drums, or ask for instructions?"

Uh……

This seems to be true, but it is the emperor after all.

On the side, Yang Xiaoyu pursed her lips, and it was obvious that her expression was a little nervous.

In this era, the person inside is the lord of a country and the respect of the world. Ordinary people may have passed out long ago.

Ye Jun smiled, touched her little head, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, the emperor is just one nose and two eyes, and he can't eat people! If he is really three-headed and six-armed, then you can really see him." Strange!"

Yang Xiaoyu laughed "puchi", finally she was no longer nervous.

"Let's go!"

Ye Jun held Yang Xiaoyu with one hand, pushed the door with the other, and Shi Shiran walked in.

Behind him, Jia Tan's face turned pale, and there seemed to be disbelief in his eyes. This is the Imperial Study Room, so he walked in like this?
Immediately, he gritted his teeth and followed in.

……

The imperial study room was originally the place where the emperors of all dynasties collected books, so the decoration is simple, simple and elegant.The furniture is so small and exquisite, and the bookshelves are filled with antiques and books.

In front of the desk, an incense burner the size of a fist is curling up smoke. The faint smoke permeates the room, exuding faint sandalwood, which makes people calm down.

A figure in a dragon robe was crouching in front of the desk, reviewing the memorial.The little eunuch on the side kept fighting with tired eyelids, but the young emperor was so energetic that he didn't even yawn.

Suddenly, there was a light laugh:

"Look, the emperor also has one nose and two eyes, and his looks are not outstanding!"

"Who?"

The emperor in dragon robe suddenly raised his head.

The little eunuch on the side suddenly trembled and woke up suddenly.

At some point, two figures, one big and one small, appeared in the room.

"Bold! Who are you? How dare you break into the imperial study! Come on—" the little eunuch shouted.

"Stop screaming, I've dealt with the guards outside!"

Ye Jun said calmly: "Come on this trip, talk to the emperor about a few things!"

"presumptuous!"

The little eunuch's voice was stern, and he shouted angrily: "Aren't you afraid of being punished by the nine clans?"

"Noisy!"

Ye Jun flicked his fingers, and a burst of energy shot out.

puff--

There was a soft sound, as if a rubber ball had been punctured.

The little eunuch's eyes widened with anger, and he fell on his back to the sky, with confusion and disbelief still remaining on his face.He couldn't figure it out until he died, that someone would dare to kill someone in front of the emperor.

"Zhu Jiu Clan? Unfortunately, neither of us has Jiu Clan."

Ye Jun flicked his fingers, chuckled, his eyes fell on the emperor, and said: "Such a dog, neither big nor small, will kill its master sooner or later. I will kill it for you. No objection!"

A look of surprise flashed across the emperor's young face, but he soon returned to normal. After all, he was an emperor, so he still had some energy to nourish his spirit. He looked as usual, and said, "This strong man came to the palace to look for me late at night. I don't know what it is. If there is any difficulty, I will definitely help!"

The emperor could tell that the person in front of him was definitely not an assassin.If it was an assassin, how could there be so much nonsense?It is even more impossible to bring a little girl here.

"I don't have any difficulties, but this little girl has something to ask you!"

Ye Jun rubbed Yang Xiaoyu's little head, and encouraged: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, go!"

Yang Xiyu looked up at him, was encouraged, her expression flashed a flash of firmness, she stepped forward two steps, knelt down on the ground, and said respectfully: "The daughter of the guilty minister Yang Yuxuan, Yang Xiyu sees the emperor!"

Yang Yuxuan!
The emperor's eyes narrowed suddenly.

Yang Yuxuan is the minister of the Ministry of War, how could the emperor not understand?A month ago, someone sued Yang Yuxuan for treason.Although the emperor didn't believe it, but there were witnesses and material evidence, they could only be dealt with according to the law. The whole family was copied and executed, and women and children were distributed to the frontier.

Why did Yang Yuxuan's daughter appear here?Why did this trip come to rehabilitate Yang Yuxuan?

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through the emperor's mind.

Yang Xiyu said in a low voice, with a sad tone: "My father was loyal to His Majesty, he was framed and died an untimely death. The king let the minister die, and the minister had to die. The little girl has no complaints. However, Your Majesty decreed that my Yang family, women and children Exiled to the frontier, but some people regard His Majesty's will as nothing, and chase us all the way. Up to now, there are only two siblings left in my Yang family. Please, Your Majesty is the master, and give us justice!"

Although Yang Xiaoyu is young, as the daughter of the Minister of War, she is well-informed and thoughtful.She knew in her heart that if she directly reversed the case for her father, wouldn't it be forcing the emperor to admit his mistake?So he planned to use Dongchang's pursuit as a breakthrough point, and let the emperor pursue Dongchang's responsibility to avenge his revenge. As long as Dongchang is brought down, it will be easy to clean up his father's grievances.

"What, someone is chasing you!"

The emperor's expression changed slightly, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.Obviously, the emperor really didn't know about this matter.

Immediately, the emperor took the case and stood up, furiously said: "How unreasonable is this? Who is it that disregards the law?"

The emperor ordered that the exile of the Yang family's women and children was naturally a way out for them.The so-called thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king.However, some people secretly chased and killed the Yang family. Didn't they despise his majesty and ignore his imperial decree?
"It's from Dongchang! Please, Your Majesty, be the master of our Yang family!" Yang Xiaoyu gritted his teeth.

East Factory!

Although the emperor had expected it in his heart, he still hesitated when he heard these two words.

At this moment, a figure broke in from outside the door.

Jia Tantou said anxiously: "Mr. Ye, it's not good, the fainted guard outside was found, and Governor Cao has already rushed over!"

PS: It was raining, and the windows were not closed. When I found out, the computer was already pouring out water... I wanted to cry but had no tears.
