Just when Xiao Hezi was about to leave, Chongzhen quickly stopped him and suddenly remembered something.
"Your Majesty, do you have any other orders?"
Xiao Hezi hurried back, not knowing that the emperor still had orders from his status.
"Send the list of those Zhu Si remnants collected by Long Wei to Wang Chengen of Xichang and ask him to send all the people on the list to prison for me. If there is any resistance, they will be killed directly!"
"Your Majesty, Zhu Si is really involved in too many things. If they are all sent to prison, it will probably cause panic."
After hearing Chongzhen's order, Xiao Hezi was also shocked and hurriedly said to Chongzhen.
"I think about how prosperous the Ming Dynasty was before, but these moths in the court hollowed out the Ming Dynasty bit by bit. They must be uprooted to bring the Ming Dynasty back to its peak!"
Chongzhen also knew what Xiao Hezi meant, but there was no way. If he wanted to change the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, he had to start from within. Now that Hu Yunqing had taken care of the external troubles, he had to cure the remaining internal troubles himself.
"Your Majesty, let Xichang do this. If Wei Zhongxian is not notified, I'm afraid there will be some opinions there."
When Xiao Hezi heard that Xichang had just been asked to do it, he remembered the previous quarrel between Wei Zhongxian and the emperor, and understood that Wei Zhongxian was not willing to let the emperor do this at all.
If Xichang was directly asked to arrest people and Wei Zhongxian was bypassed, something else would definitely happen.
"I know. Go tell Wang Chengen. If Wei Zhongxian has something to say, just ask him to come to me!"
Wei Zhongxian would definitely not be happy. This was also expected by Chongzhen. Maybe Wei Zhongxian would have a conflict with Wang Chengen in order to protect the royal guards.
This is what I don't want to see. All those who lose are the talents of Ming Dynasty, so I gave Xiao Hezi a warning.
"Sir, do we have to escort Han Keene who followed Mr. Hu to Shanhaiguan back?"
Hearing that everyone was going to prison, he remembered what happened just now and found that Han Kedi had already left the capital.
"Over there, Hu Yunqing must have his own ideas. It doesn't work out no matter what. I'll write a letter and find someone to work day and night to deliver it to Hu Yunqing as soon as possible."
I had heard Wei Zhongxian say before that I knew he had made some contributions, but in order to eradicate the root cause, I was not prepared to let him go. I didn't expect that he would leave first.
I can only remind Hu Yunqing to be careful first.
"Understood, slave, go now!"
Xiao Hezi knew that he could not change the emperor's decision at all, so he had no choice but to obey his orders.
After leaving the study room, Xiao Hezi sighed in his heart. Only Mr. Hu Yunqing in the court could make His Majesty change his decision.
I can only watch one wrong order after another, passed by myself and issued to the following.
After leaving the palace, Xiao Hezi came to the Xichang headquarters.
"See father-in-law!"
The West Factory has changed a lot, and there are four or five guards in uniforms standing at the door, all of them looking bright and energetic.
"Eunuch He is here."
When his subordinates saw Eunuch He coming, they hurried to the back to report to Wang Chengen.
Wang Chengen has many enemies, so he usually does not leave the headquarters and handles everything inside.
While reading the memorial from his subordinates, he heard that Eunuch He was coming. He knew that the eunuchs he had never liked in the palace before had now become Eunuch He.
He stood up with a look of disdain and walked towards the lobby in the front yard.
"Eunuch Wang."
After waiting for a while, Xiao Hezi saw Wang Chengen walking in and quickly stood up to salute.
We also know that Wang Chengen is an old man, and he still has the due respect for his seniors.
"Hey, now Eunuch He is a popular figure next to His Majesty. I wonder what your purpose is in coming to Xichang?"
Since Xiao Hezi was so sensible, Wang Chengen lowered his posture and asked Xiao Hezi with a smile.
"Your Majesty has a decree for you to arrest all the people on the list and send them to prison immediately!"
Xiao Hezi took out a list from his arms, handed it to Wang Chengen and said.
Wang Chengen took the list and looked at it. When he saw the names on the list, his eyes were filled with surprise. It was as if he had known it for a long time.
"Are they all going to be arrested?"
Then he looked at Xiao Hezi for confirmation and asked again.
"Well, by the way, this is a letter written by His Majesty. Please send someone to deliver it to Mr. Hu as quickly as possible."
Xiao Hezi nodded, then took out a letter and handed it to Wang Chengen and said.
"Okay, leave it to me. I'll have someone do it right now."
Hearing that it was written by His Majesty himself, Wang Chengen was curious about what was written inside.
"Well, I'll go back and restore His Majesty's life."
Now that the little Shangzi beside the emperor in the palace is dead, no one can know his movements in front of His Majesty. Now the little Hezi is a very popular figure, and Wang Chengen also knows that he must curry favor with him.
Xiao Hezi was sent to the gate.
"Your Majesty has told you that if someone hinders you from running an errand, you can directly ask him to go to your Majesty, and your Majesty will provide you with back-up."
Before leaving, Xiao Hezi almost forgot the most important thing and conveyed the emperor's words to Wang Chengen.
"clear!"
Hearing the last sentence, how could Wang Chengen not know that Wei Zhongxian from Dongchang had a good relationship with those Jin Yiwei. These people are all sent to prison, and Jinyiwei will only be left empty-handed.
I was still worried about how I would deal with it, but now I have His Majesty as my guarantee, I don't have any worries, I can go all out and go all out.
Almost all of the West Factory was dispatched, and the city defense army, Shenji Battalion and other troops were also mobilized to control the four gates out of the city.
Start arresting the people on the list.
"Let me go! What do you want to do?"
...
Such sounds appeared in various places in the city, and some unprepared Jinyi guards were completely unprepared and were taken directly into the imperial prison.
"Yu Guang, um, take him to the prison!"
Outside a courtyard, Jin Yiwei took the portrait and determined that it was the person he was looking for. He quickly motioned for someone to put him in shackles and take him to the imperial prison.
"Get out of here!"
Yu Guang knew the punishment in the prison, so he pushed away the people around him, took out a signal from his waist, pulled out the twisting thread and raised it above his head.
The person responsible for catching Yu Guang saw Yu Guang's actions and Dongchang also had this thing, and instantly understood what the other party wanted to do.
"Kill me!"
He quickly ordered to the subordinates around him.
They were all elite members of the Jin Yiwei. They quickly drew out their knives and slashed at Yu Guang's body. Yu Guang used his last strength to raise the danger signal, and finally fell to the ground without any breath. on the ground.
"Duke, it's bad. There is a signal coming from the east side of the city. It is very likely that the arrest has failed. Those who have not been arrested in the city will definitely be alerted."
Wang Chengen, who was receiving the call from above, looked at the place where the signal was sent, and his subordinates quickly wanted to report it.
