Jiang Qiulu looked up at the sky.
A thick dark cloud came over, gradually blocking the bright moon.
The night sky is as dark as ink.
The moon is dark and the wind is high, it is a murderous night.
"Yes, it will rain soon." Jiang Qiulu murmured in a low voice.
That's right, it's a bloody storm.
Kyoto City, East Street.
Di Yuanzheng led thirty-one personally selected elites to come here.
In an instant, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and little drops of rain fell.
Then, the rain became heavier and heavier.
Everyone was wearing black cloaks and stood neatly behind Di Yuanzheng.
"According to His Majesty's plan, take action!"
Di Yuanzheng gave an order, and everyone dispersed.
Immediately afterwards, screams broke out in Daxia Kyoto City.
Some officials and ministers of the Yongwang sect died tragically at home on the spot.
Even if these ministers' palaces are guarded by government troops, how can they be the opponents of the palace guards?
Overnight, more than a dozen officials were assassinated.
It was already late at night when everyone finished their actions.
Jiang Qiulu was in the imperial study, standing by the window looking at the thunderstorm outside the window.
Waiting for news about Di Yuanzheng’s veteran generals and soldiers.
Soon, Li Mingzhi hurried into the imperial study room.
"Your Majesty, General Di has returned with the guards."
When Jiang Qiulu heard this, he immediately turned around and went to greet him personally.
Li Mingzhi followed Jiang Qiulu closely, holding an umbrella for Jiang Qiulu.
Outside the palace.
"Father-in-law, are you injured?"
Jiang Qiulu stepped forward and supported Di Yuanzheng, who was about to salute.
"Back to Your Majesty, the matter has been settled."
"Some typical supporters of King Yong's faction are no longer alive." Di Yuanzheng replied.
Jiang Qiulu nodded with satisfaction.
"Everyone, thank you for your hard work."
"From now on, you will live near Taiji Hall."
Everyone was surprised and happy after hearing this.
You know, only the emperor's personal guards or eunuchs can live around Taiji Hall.
Even some of the royal family members and important officials in the court couldn't live here if they wanted to.
"I would like to ask for your help in the days to come."
"As for the reward, I guarantee you will be satisfied." Jiang Qiulu said.
After everyone heard this, they immediately knelt down to thank him.
…
Fengluan Palace.
At this time, Concubine De had not yet fallen asleep and was still waiting for Jiang Qiulu's arrival.
"My beloved, it's so late, why don't you rest?" Jiang Qiulu asked softly.
Hearing Jiang Qiulu's voice, Concubine De immediately turned around.
"Your Majesty, you are here."
"Your Majesty's worries are my concubines' worries."
De Feiyu put her arms around Jiang Qiulu's waist and pressed her cheek against his chest.
"Okay, concubine."
"The matter has been settled. My father-in-law and the others have returned safely." Jiang Qiulu said.
"Your Majesty, I have something I don't know whether to say or not." Concubine De hesitated a little when she said this.
"speak!"
"Your Majesty killed so many officials. Is it too hasty?"
"If King Yong is to blame, will your Majesty be in trouble?" Concubine De asked.
Jiang Qiulu shook his head.
"My beloved concubine, do you know why I want to ground King Yong?"
This question made Concubine De enlightened instantly.
If you wait until these people react, you may be in trouble if you try to assassinate them again.
Now is the golden opportunity to take back the imperial power, and we must cut through the mess quickly.
"Now, the young Turkic prince is also a hostage in our hands."
"The Turkic army will definitely not dare to act rashly."
"We should take advantage of this opportunity to strengthen our own power."
"Only in this way can we better deal with the next emergency." Jiang Qiulu said.
Concubine De's eyes lit up when she heard Jiang Qiulu's careful decision-making and precise judgment.
"It seems that I, my concubine, must work harder and lend a helping hand to Your Majesty." Concubine De said.
"Don't worry, Concubine Rong is a female streamer."
"Even if she controls the harem, she can't interfere with our people now." Jiang Qiulu sneered.
The two chatted for a few more words, then blew out the lamp and took a rest.
The second day, Tai Chi Hall.
Jiang Qiulu looked at the nearly half-empty court hall, and suddenly wanted to laugh for some reason.
"Huh? Have the remaining Aiqings come yet?" Jiang Qiulu asked seriously with a straight look on his face.
Everyone secretly greeted Jiang Qiulu's relatives in their hearts.
Do you still have the nerve to ask? Didn’t you kill everyone?
Are you still pretending to be confused?
"Your Majesty!"
At this time, the current Prime Minister Guo Xiaosen stood up.
"Last night, a group of assassins suddenly appeared in Kyoto and assassinated these officials."
When Guo Xiaosen said this, his eyes specifically glanced at Di Yuanzheng.
"I believe that there is an assassin in Kyoto City."
"Veteran General Di Yuanzheng is directly responsible!"
Unexpectedly, Guo Xiaosen changed the topic and directly participated in Di Yuanzheng's book.
"General Di is in charge of all the troops in Kyoto."
"The appearance of an assassin is really General Di's dereliction of duty."
"Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning!"
After saying this, he gave a great ceremony.
Under Guo Xiaosen's lead, several people followed Guo Xiaosen and echoed.
The meaning of Guo Xiaosen's words is very simple.
An assassin has appeared in the capital, and you, Di Yuanzheng, have an unshirkable responsibility.
Using this as a reason, he put pressure on Emperor Jiang Qiulu.
The punishment for such a crime would be as little as letting him surrender his military power and find a place to spend his remaining years.
If it's serious, it's possible to grab it directly and even lose your head.
It has to be said that Guo Xiaosen deserves to be the leader of hundreds of officials.
Even if Jiang Qiulu knew it was a trick, he couldn't let it go.
Otherwise, how can we make the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty feel at ease?
Everyone was waiting for Jiang Qiulu's reaction and answer.
"Asshole!"
Suddenly, Jiang Qiulu shouted loudly.
At the same time, he patted the dragon chair and stood up in a flash.
No one expected Jiang Qiulu's reaction to be so big, and they were all shocked.
"Di Yuanzheng!"
"As the founding father of the country, you are the head of the military generals."
"Why did you let assassins enter Kyoto and assassinate our important officials?"
"How did you lead the troops!"
Jiang Qiulu pointed at Di Yuanzheng and scolded him mercilessly.
Everyone was a little confused.
Di Yuanzheng is a representative figure of the emperor's faction.
Everyone thought that Jiang Qiulu would use all his strength to protect the Di expedition.
But the current situation is completely opposite.
Why is the emperor so merciless?
When the civil and military officials in the court were confused, Jiang Qiulu suddenly gave Di Yuanzheng a secret wink.
Veteran General Di Yuanzheng has been on the battlefield for many years. How could he not see that Jiang Qiulu was acting for these ministers?
So he stepped forward and saluted.
"Your Majesty, please calm down."
"The assassin has been caught and killed on the spot!"
"Unexpectedly, the assassin is from Kyoto."
"Otherwise, the veteran and his subordinates would not have discovered it." Di Yuanzheng said respectfully.
"oh?"
"In that case, who is the assassin?" Jiang Qiulu asked.
I saw the corners of Di Yuanzheng's mouth raised, and then slowly turned his head to look at Guo Xiaosen.
"People from Prince Yong's Mansion!"
