Wang Xiang immediately frowned and looked at Cui Zan first.
Cui Zan was a little confused. Wang Jing said, what do you want me to do? ?
Wang Xiang reminded: "My lord, you are the Sili Lieutenant. You supervise many foreign officials, but not the internal ministers. We will solve this matter on our own!"
But the ministers said: "Mr. Taichang, can't you even tell us this?"
Does it matter? Of course this is important!
So are Yang Hu's resistance and Zhang Hua's resistance the same nature?
Yang Hu can command the entire palace guard.
Just when Wang Xiang was about to persuade everyone to go back, someone reported: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zheng, wants to see you."
Wang Xiang's face darkened, and before he could speak, Xun Yi ordered: "Invite him in!"
Gao Rou, Sima Fu, and Wang Xiang looked at each other with uncertain expressions.
Zheng Xiaotong also walked into the Chancellor's Desk under such circumstances.
Zheng Xiaotong has always been troubled.
He carries two identities: the hope of the Zheng family's rise, and the inheritor of the Zheng family's classics.
When his mother was just pregnant with him, Kong Rong was surrounded by the Yellow Turban Army. His father went to rescue him and died on the battlefield.
Zheng Xiaotong has never met his father. He was raised by Zheng Xuan.
Zheng Xuan loved his grandson very much. Probably after losing his son, he devoted all his emotions to his grandson and gave him the name Xiaotong, which means like himself.
Following the "Jingshen" since childhood, Zheng Xiaotong has very profound attainments in classics. He has comprehensively studied the Six Classics and already had the qualifications of a great Confucian at a young age.
Later, when he entered the temple, he was always in charge of Confucian classics. His academic attainments were as famous as Zheng Chong's, and he was even better than Zheng Chong in terms of "Li".
But now, he has encountered a very bad era. With the rise of metaphysics, what he learned in the past is becoming less and less valued.
The aristocratic family was rising, but his family was extremely weak and did not have the strength to compete with many wealthy families.
He wanted to inherit his father's knowledge and promote Confucian principles to the world. He also wanted to protect his clan and assume the responsibility of a family head.
But these two identities are sometimes completely opposite.
He learns the principles of loyal ministers to help the country every day, but every day he follows the powerful ministers to do things that violate morality.
As a famous Confucian scholar, the Sima family had always placed high hopes on him.
They want Zheng Xiaotong to become the next Zheng Chong, a great Confucian who can argue the Sima family.
As long as Zheng Xiaotong is willing, with his classic attainments and his great father's reputation, their family will soon rise, and in a few decades, a top family may be born.
However, for some reason, every time Zheng Xiaotong was ready to join them and execute the plan, his father's smile could not help but appear in front of his eyes.
"Xiao Tong, based on learning, transforming people into customs."
"Xiao Tong, you are born with integrity, you should practice what you have learned."
"Xiao Tong, your father died for righteousness. Scholars have a high priority. You should follow suit."
At that time, Zheng Xiaotong suddenly gave up and started to pull him over again. This move eventually disappointed the Sima family who wanted to win over him and no longer valued him.
Today, when the emperor asked him for his opinion, for some unknown reason, he once again lost his identity as a sect leader and loudly scolded Wang Ye for his behavior.
He stood in front of the ministers and looked at these princes who had been studying the classics for decades and understood the meaning of the classics.
Zheng Xiaotong's expression suddenly became solemn.
"Your Majesty has issued an edict. There are thieves in the palace who are causing trouble, led by Gao Dan, Gao Guang, Xun Xu, Wang Ye and other thieves."
"All thieves have surrendered, the imperial city is under martial law!"
"Instruct all the ministers to go to Taiji Hall to meet with His Majesty and discuss the matter!"
Zheng Xiaotong has been serving as a servant for many years. He has represented the temple and read many edicts, but he has never been as happy as he is today.
Every move he made, even his tone of voice, were all in line with etiquette.
But the officials did not care about this etiquette. After Zheng Xiaotong spoke, the officials were shocked and some of them jumped up.
They looked at Gao Rou.
"Mr. Situ?! Is this what you call the internal ministers' disobedience?!"
"What does it mean?!"
There seemed to be thunder flashing in the chancellery, and all the officials stood up and started making a loud noise. Their faces were impatient and they were scolding loudly.
Wang Jing was stunned at the moment, but then a smile flashed across his face.
Fortunately, I did not harm His Majesty.
Looking at the chaotic situation in front of them, the three bosses had grim faces and were speechless for a long time.
Gao Rou looked at Zheng Xiaotong and said angrily: "The ministers are holding the emperor hostage! They are trying to do evil! Come on, capture this thief!"
Immediately some soldiers rushed in and caught Zheng Xiaotong from behind.
"What do you want, Mr. Situ?"
Immediately, some ministers stood up and glared at Gao Rou.
The main reason is that Zheng Xuan once accepted many disciples and his reputation was large enough. This person is not someone you can catch just by Gao Rou.
Zheng Xiaotong was not afraid, he just looked at Gao Rou in the distance.
Seeing this chaotic situation, Wang Xiang stood up hurriedly, "What are you doing? Let go of Mr. Zheng!"
"Everyone, the gate of the imperial city is closed. We just thought it was the internal ministers who refused to obey. Now it seems that someone has blackmailed your majesty!"
He personally stepped forward, pushed the soldier aside, and helped Zheng Xiaotong sit down.
"I wonder if your Majesty is okay?"
Wang Xiang asked worriedly.
Zheng Xiaotong fell silent again.
All the officials also looked at him.
Zheng Xiaotong looked at Wang Xiang, "No one was holding me back."
"Your Majesty is safe and sound! No one has ever threatened you! All ministers are following His Majesty's orders to rid the world of traitors and traitors!!"
"Gaorou, you read poetry and books in vain, and now you are trying to murder His Majesty. How can you have the face to claim to be a veteran of three dynasties?!"
"You will die and your family will die. There will be no burial place, and you will remain infamy for eternity! You will be despised by future generations!"
Gao Rou's eyes were red and she was breathing heavily. Sima Fu hurriedly stood in front of him to prevent him from taking action.
Wang Xiang looked at Zheng Xiaotong in front of him calmly, with a somewhat regretful expression.
"Is it up to you to decide whether he is a traitor or a traitor?"
"Hahaha, can the prince use the knife in his hand to block the mouths of future generations?"
Wang Xiang shook his head and said, "Take this person down."
This time, the ministers did not stop him.
The atmosphere in the Chancery became extremely solemn, with everyone frowning and saying nothing.
Wang Xiang looked at everyone and said, "Gentlemen, please don't worry too much. Your Majesty is a smart man and will definitely not be held hostage by traitors. As long as all the ministers work together, things will be accomplished."
Outside the Chinese army camp.
A carriage, followed by knights, charged towards the camp again.
Malon stood on the city wall and narrowed his eyes. The soldiers around him had already picked up their crossbows. Malon said: "Don't act rashly."
These people just put away their weapons.
Malone hurriedly walked down the city wall again, opened the door, and led a group of knights to rush out.
Only this time, Malone did not shoot the groom. When they rushed to the carriage, the group stopped.
Malone looked at the knight at the front of the motorcade, his eyes lit up, and he quickly dismounted.
"Meet Mr. Zhong!"
That knight was Zhong Hui, and Zhong Hui said seriously: "I have an imperial edict! Take us into the camp!"
Malon glanced at the direction of the carriage curiously, and then saluted Zhong Hui again.
"only!!"
Ma Long personally protected the group of people and walked into the camp together.
At this moment, those in charge of internal and external defense were all Malong's people, and no one dared to question anything. When this group of people entered the city, Sima Xun, who was Malong's deputy, arrived belatedly.
"Captain Ma, did you hear something happened here?"
"What happened?"
Sima Xun asked curiously.
Ma Long was about to answer, but Zhong Hui looked at him angrily, "Why did you come so late? If Ma Long is not one of ours, aren't you going to do bad things?!"
Sima Xun looked at him in shock, speechless.
"How could you do this, Mr. Zhong?"
"Don't say more! Go and call Sima Qian! Xiaoxing, go and call the generals now!"
Sima Xun had already sent people to find Sima Qian, but he himself followed Zhong Hui and looked at the carriage, "Mr. Zhong, what happened here?"
Zhong Hui doesn't even look at him. He has no talent and isn't handsome, so he just doesn't bother to pay attention to you.
But Zhong Hui's contemptuous attitude actually reassured Sima Xun. Mr. Zhong is still the same as before. He shouldn't be here to harm us, right? After all, this is the Chinese Army
Sima Gan came here in a hurry, followed by many soldiers, who protected him in the middle, his face was full of caution.
Seeing this person, Zhong Hui was very angry.
"What are you still doing? Do you know what happened in the temple?"
"The emperor is about to fight against his ministers! This is our best chance!"
"You are still hesitating here. Are you going to ruin our important event?"
Sima Qian was a little stunned. He did not approach Zhong Hui and asked very vigilantly: "What do you mean?"
"Didn't my brother tell you? General Wei suddenly went out, and he appointed me as Zongzheng, and Ma Long as the school captain, and asked you to stay here. Don't you know why?"
Zhong Hui said seriously: "The two are unwilling to give up each other, and the fishermen will catch the birds together. You don't understand such a simple truth?"
Sima Qian was a little confused at this moment. Zhong Hui suddenly came to the door and said a bunch of inexplicable words.
So what happened?
Fishermen benefit? Could it be that the elder brother was deliberately provoking a fight between the emperor and the ministers so that he could take back his power?
No, no! Before his brother left, he clearly told himself that he wanted to win over Ma Long. If Ma Long was one of his own, why would he let himself win over?
This guy is lying to me! !
While Sima Qian was deep in thought, Zhong Hui opened the carriage and helped a man get out of the carriage.
"Wang Guan is extremely rebellious and wants to usurp military power, but he has been captured. Therefore, there is an edict to appoint Shangshu Xiahou Gong as the general protecting the army! He will take charge of all the camps of the Chinese army!"
The person who followed Zhong Hui out of the car was Xia Houxian, who was under house arrest.
He fought with Xia Houxuan and led the clan of the Chinese army.
Xia Houxian.
