The Xuantian Sect in the North is in chaos. This is a matter in the world. To the adults in the temple, it is a matter far away. No one cares about how much trouble a group of mud-legged people have caused.
But in contrast, the commander of the Jinyiwei suddenly disappeared from the capital, which still caused a considerable impact.
It's not that Jin Yiwei's confidentiality work is not done properly, but that Meng Yuan is sitting in that position and wants to completely disappear from everyone's sight, which is simply impossible.
In other words, once he disappears, I am afraid that what will arouse is not surprise, but panic. The memory of the bloody storm decades ago is still fresh in my mind. Who dares to look down on this commander?
Being able to reveal a flaw after half a month is already a sign of Jin Yiwei's outstanding ability. Now it's better. Everyone knows that Meng Yuan went to the Northland and disappeared without a trace.
Compared with other adults, this news may come too suddenly, and they have to think about it in the long term, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee whether they will be fished by Jin Yiwei.
But for some people, the information they get is more accurate than others, or they can infer more things.
"What did you say? Your Majesty was so angry today that even our ancestors were punished?" In the Dongchang Police Department Hall, a gentle-looking father-in-law sat high, his sinister eyes constantly gleaming with cold light.
The little eunuch who knelt down wiped his sweat and replied in a flattering manner: "Replying to the uncle, how dare my grandson lie to you? He is indeed very angry. Your Majesty even threw the Tianbao Jade Ruyi, which is His Majesty's favorite. It’s an immortal weapon.”
"It seems that old man Meng Yuan is really in trouble." The high-ranking father-in-law had a dangerous curve on his lips.
This person's name is Zou Ji, and he is in charge of the Xichang, a terrifying weapon that has made hundreds of officials jealous just like Jin Yiwei.
There are twelve departments of eunuchs in the imperial palace, called the Twelve Eunuchs. The most influential among them are the Si Li Jian and the Royal Horse Eunuch. The Si Li Jian is mainly responsible for answering memorials and conveying imperial edicts. At the same time, the Si Li Jian The chief eunuch was also the chief eunuch beside the emperor. He was in charge of everything of the twelve eunuchs, and the eunuchs below him were all called "ancestors".
The Royal Horse Supervisor mainly has military responsibilities. Together with the Ministry of War, he controls the military talismans. He and the Li Supervisor can be said to be both civil and military. However, due to the strong power of the Jinyi Guards, the Royal Horse Supervisor's power has long been ejected, and the West Factory has long been reduced to A yes man for Jin Yiwei.
According to the rules of the palace, the eunuch who is the top eunuch of the Ceremony Department is in charge of everything. He owns the expert factory in addition to the independent east-west factory and always acts in secret. The second eunuch of the Ceremony Department is in charge of the east factory and is responsible for monitoring the inner palace. The rest The chief of the Royal Horse Supervisor is in charge of the West Factory and is responsible for monitoring all officials.
The functions of these three major factories are similar. They are all used to monitor officials inside and outside the palace, but they are mostly set up to check and balance each other. Zou Ji is the head of the Royal Horse Supervisor, and is now the governor of the West Factory. .
Because Meng Yuan was too strong, he almost emptied out all the power of the Royal Horse Supervisor, and Xichang, which complemented it, naturally became an empty-headed yamen.
Of course Zou Ji was unwilling to give in. Not only was he unwilling, but all the royal horse supervisors were unwilling to be reconciled. However, His Majesty the Emperor favored Meng Yuan. No matter how unwilling they were, there was nothing they could do.
But now, something happened to Meng Yuan, and His Majesty was furious. The most important thing was that the ancestors in the palace actually revealed such hidden news to him in private.
Zou Ji is not stupid, he understands very well. His ancestor has served His Majesty for many years. As long as the old man is not willing, not even a bird can fly out of the palace, let alone someone who can carefully report to him what happened in front of the emperor.
Looking at the little eunuch below, Zou Ji's eyes narrowed slightly, and he vaguely understood his ancestor's intention.
"Here comes someone."
Zou Ji stood up slowly, and the eunuch serving beside him understood and immediately picked up his silk silver cloak and put it on him.
At the same time, a crowd of more than ten people poured in from outside and knelt down and kowtowed: "See you, Lord Governor, please give me your orders!"
Although Xichang has little power left, it still maintains its arrogance, and thanks to the hard work of past managers, it has also accumulated a bit of family fortune.
Zou Ji strode past the group of kneeling slaves and said sullenly: "Listen to our family.
Okay, call everyone. We heard that Commander Meng made a mistake. Let's go to Jinyiwei to take a closer look. "
"As you command!"
After the Admiral gave the order, the West Factory was like a machine that had been dusted for many years and was restarted. The rumble could be heard for ten miles.
The capital city is certainly not small when it comes to being small, but it is not necessarily big when it comes to being large. The commotion caused by the West Factory attracted attention from all directions.
Meng Yuan went to the Northland and lost the news. No one knows what the outcome will be. Now that someone is finally willing to come out to fight the thunder, everyone is naturally happy. Everyone is watching what tricks the West Factory Admiral can play. Come.
At the moment, the Jinyiwei Yamen is also very cunning and strict. Commander Meng is the backbone of everyone. When something happens to him, everyone panics.
But fortunately, the two colleagues were still there, and the several ministers were able to hold their own, so the others did not panic. But even so, panic spread among everyone unconsciously.
For Jin Yiwei, no news is the worst news. Even though Master Meng's invincible image has been so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, everyone can't help but worry, what if there is an eventuality?
But no one expected that before they heard the news about Mr. Meng, they had already heard the news about Xichang's visit.
boom!
The fiery-tempered Yan Feng slapped the table in front of him into cracks, and said angrily: "These rootless things actually dare to come to Jinyiwei Yamen to act wild! How brave!"
Xichang didn't come early or late. They came as soon as Mr. Meng disappeared. So there was no need to say what happened. Everyone present looked ugly.
"The Admiral of the West Factory, Eunuch Zou, is here!"
When everyone was angry, something happened that made them even more furious. A group of people from the West Factory broke into the yamen directly, and a female eunuch loudly began to roll call.
Qiu Qingyun stopped the imperial guards who got up angrily with a cold face. He walked to the front and saw a group of people from the West Factory striding towards Zou Ji, surrounded by them.
As they approached, the two of them looked at each other, and Qiu Qingyun said with a smile: "Eunuch Zou, why do you have time to come to Jinyiwei Yamen today?"
"Tongzhi Qiu, the governor heard that Master Meng was ill and came here to check on you." Zou Ji wore the same cold smile, stepped past Qiu Qingyun, and walked inside.
The lobby of the Jinyiwei Yamen is a place for discussions. There are many seats, but there is only one seat at the head. That is the seat of the commander. As soon as Zou Ji came, he headed there.
Everyone saw this and felt shocked and angry. Yan Feng even blocked the road and stood up with him. There were several others who glared at Zou Ji and refused to give in.
Zou Ji smiled coldly: "Brothers, are you going to salute me? Haha, I will accept it."
After saying this, a cold light flashed in Zou Ji's eyes, and a palm came out from under his cloak, and from top to bottom, he exerted a cold and unparalleled palm force.
Yan Feng and others took out their palms to resist, and a coldness like ice and hell immediately enveloped them, and even the ground was covered with a thin layer of ice crystals.
Several people gritted their teeth and their expressions became increasingly difficult. Seeing this, Wu Qiming, the official, touched his right hand from his waist, and he held four flying knives between his fingers.
"Qiming!" Qiu Qingyun shook his head at Wu Qiming, who hesitated slightly and withdrew the flying knife.
Zou Ji didn't pay attention to the thousands of households in front of him. The venomous snake-like eyes passed over Wu Qiming's body. He smiled sinisterly: "Well, since you all have inconvenient legs and feet, let's save today... Anyway, There are still many days ahead.”
After speaking, he withdrew his palm power, and Yan Feng and several other thousands of households also withdrew their palms, but their lips were pale and their faces were blue, obviously they were completely suppressed by the ice energy.
"Hmph, you don't overestimate your capabilities."
Zou Ji shook his robe and no longer looked at these defeated generals. He only saw the chair in front of him that represented his status.
But before he could take another step forward, a bright embroidered spring knife fell in front of him and penetrated deeply into the ground. It seemed to be a warning, but it also seemed to be a taunt.
He was shocked and angry,
The people in the surrounding Xichang were also furious and dared to draw their swords here. Could it be that without the support of Meng Yuan, these people really had the courage to challenge them in the Xichang again? !
In a state of shock and anger, Zou Ji took hold of the Xiuchun knife inserted into the floor. He didn't pay attention to it at first. He pulled it casually, but he didn't pull it out. A look of shame and annoyance suddenly appeared on his face. With anger, he used strength again and pulled out the knife. Pull out.
"Which brother's weapon is this? Come out and let us take a good look." Zou Ji's face was as gloomy as water, and he almost said through gritted teeth.
Hurry——!
Outside the hall, the horses neighed suddenly, and the two unlucky Xichang fans directly hit the ground with their hoofs. The royal guards in silver robes and flying fish uniforms jumped off the horses. Everyone around them couldn't help showing expressions of relief on their faces. .
Yan Feng covered his chest, suppressing the surge of true energy in his body, laughed loudly, and stepped forward to bow: "I respectfully welcome Lu Zhenfu back to the capital!"
"Welcome Lu Zhenfu back to the capital!"
For a time, the Jinyiwei Yamen was filled with loud shouts of worship, and the face of Zou Ji from the West Factory also turned blue and white.
