Chapter 479
Sun Dan and Zhang Cong squeezed into a sedan chair together, and walked quickly with Wang Gu and Xiao Dao. As soon as Sun Dan's sedan chair came out from behind, Xiao Dao whispered outside: "My lord, the Eagle Claw of Beiya Sun has already come over, and it looks like he is going to surround your lord's mansion."

Sun Dan stretched out a finger to lift the curtain to look out, but saw a group of soldiers in flying fish costumes with embroidered spring knives running over there.There were about a hundred or so people in this group, and their movements were extremely quick. In just a moment, they all went out of the street and surrounded their house with water.

This Lu Bing moved so fast, he didn't show mercy!
"Hurry up." Sun Dan smiled, put down the curtains, turned his head and asked Wang Gu who was guarding on the other side in a low voice: "Wang Gu, how many members of your Cao Gang are there in the capital?"

Wang Gu and Xiaodao followed Ze Housun Dan's four-carried sedan chair and ran all the way. The master and apprentice were physically strong, with a long breath, and they were very stable in breathing and speaking.

Wang Gu replied: "My lord, with the help of my lord, I intend to go north to the capital for development. Many of the gang's masters are in the city. Today, there are still more than 50 people in the Huainan guild hall, all of whom have seen blood. There are still two hundred warriors at the Tongzhou Pier. If your lord wants to use them, just give an order and they will come over immediately."

"That's fine, let them know and gather outside the West Garden."

"Yes, I'll pass on the information." Wang Gu asked again: "My lord, you should immediately recruit people to go to Xiyuan, why go to Yang Ge's old mansion instead."

But Sun Dan didn't say anything, and Zhang Cong, who came to Sun Dan's side, understood what Sun Dan was doing. He sneered and said in a low voice, "What are you going to Xiyuan for? Rebellion?"

Only then did Wang Gu realize that he was talking too much, and it was natural for Mr. Sun to go to Yang Shoufu for his reason.

In fact, Wang Gu got the point. No matter how Sun Dan dealt with the crisis tonight, he should first get rid of the group of civil officials headed by Yang Tinghe and Yang Shen.As long as they are persuaded and approved by the civil service system, the succession of the eldest prince will have legal significance.

If he didn't get the nod from the civil servants, he drove directly to Xiyuan and seized the palace ban. As long as they climbed up and shouted, Sun Dan would immediately become a traitor and a traitor, and everyone in the world would fight against him.

Today, although Sun Dan's situation is bad, as long as he gets the support of Yang Tinghe, the situation will be reversed immediately.

In fact, after the mid-Ming Dynasty, the civil official group controlled the government and the direction of public opinion, and the power of the prime minister had swelled to the point where it caused the emperor a headache.It can be said that without the support of the civil servants, no emperor can sit securely on the throne.

In terms of real history, the reason why Jiajing was able to sit on the emperor's throne after Emperor Wuzong's success was because Yang Ting and the civil service system saw that Jiajing was young and easy to control, so they forced him to take the throne.Otherwise, according to the order of finding the succession, after Zhengde passed away, one should be adopted from the Zaizi generation of his later generation to adopt Zhengde, and then inherit the Datong.

In the Yigong case and Hongwan case, the opinions of civil officials not only determined the ownership of the throne, but even directly intervened in the internal affairs of the palace.

In front of the civil servants who stand on the high level of morality and public opinion, and in front of the cabinet members who hold actual power, any violent agency is useless. This is also a special feature of Ming Dynasty politics.

"Wait until Mr. Yang Ge's place, I won't show up." Zhang Cong naturally knew what to do: "Later, I will break up with Jingyuan and go back to the Inspector's Office to write a paper, impeaching Huang Jin for plotting to abolish the establishment, trying to plot rebellion, I will hand it in tomorrow morning. I hope Jingyuan can calm down the entire capital tonight, if not, Zhang Cong will never see the sunrise tomorrow."

After speaking, he jumped out of the sedan chair and bowed deeply: "Jingyuan, take care!"

……

In fact, Sun Dan misunderstood Lu Bing, and the Jin Yiwei from Beiya was already slow in coming.Otherwise, with the efficiency of Bei Ya's half-doing work, Sun Dan's group would really be wiped out all at once.

After receiving the emperor's order, Lu Song didn't think about anything else, and directly ordered the soldiers and horses to head towards Liulichang.

But Lu Bing still felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly stopped his father: "Father, don't rush to arrest people, you have to be careful about this matter."

Lu Song felt strange and asked, "Your Majesty asked me to arrest Sun Dan. As a subject, I just follow orders. Why do you think so much?"

Lu Bing smiled wryly: "Father, although His Majesty's order is in place, it's just a decree, and the reason for his arrest is not explained. After all, this Sun Dan is the editor-in-chief of the Imperial Academy, Enke No.1 champion, and the emperor's A confidant, a future cabinet member. If you are arrested so hastily, what is the face of your majesty, and what is the face of the court. Your majesty is a person who wants to save face first."

Lu Song frowned: "Perhaps, the reason for arresting Sun Dan is not enough for outsiders."

"Yes, father is right." Lu Bing immediately said: "Father, have you ever thought about it? The emperor asked us to arrest Sun Dan without explaining the reason. There must be something secret. The emperor didn't want others to know, because This involves Long Live's face. However, if he is caught, the reason will be revealed to the world, and the emperor will have to explain to the world. Wouldn't it be more decent? With His Majesty's character, I'm afraid he will turn his anger on us at that time , I blame me for not being able to do things.”

Lu Song was taken aback: "That's the truth. Bing'er, you grew up with His Majesty, so you can understand his character well. Although this Long Live Lord is a saint, he is very concerned about things, and he is very careful. Thoughts are active and change from time to time, it’s better that we don’t rush to do this.”

"Yes, yes, maybe, wait a little longer, maybe there will be another imperial decree, and we won't be allowed to arrest Sun Dan again."

"However, with His Majesty's hand down now, we won't be able to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai." Lu Song looked sad.

Lu Bing thought for a while: "Then delay, slowly rectify the troops, and rush over slowly."

"Okay, let's do it like this." Lu Song shook his head and sighed: "This Long Live Lord... we courtiers don't know how to do things anymore."

After all, it was night, and there were not many people on duty in Jinyiwei. An hour passed by the time Lu Song and his son finished reorganizing the Jinyiwei team.It's not easy to let horses gallop wildly in the capital, and there is intentional procrastination, everyone in the Beiya walked two steps and stopped one step, and it took a long time before they rushed to Sun Dan's mansion, and when they surrounded the house, Lu Song and Lu Bing were polite and walked The concierge said: "We are from the Jinyiwei Yamen, and we have His Majesty's order to invite Mr. Sun."

A tall man came out of the gatehouse of Sun Dan's mansion, cupped his hands and said, "I have seen Commander Lu, Brother Bing, and brothers."

This person is Han Yue, former Baihu of Jinyiwei.

Lu Bing hurriedly asked: "Where is your lord, please ask him to come with us."

"It's at the mansion." Han Yue smiled: "However, my lord is taking a bath, so I have to wait a while. My lords and brothers, please go to the hall with the villain and wait for a while."

Hearing that Sun Dan was at home, Lu Song and his son heaved a sigh of relief and nodded: "Alright, lead the way."
