Jie Wenwu carefully wrapped the memorial in his arms and immediately knelt down in front of the palace gate. When he heard Shi Xiu Shen's voice, he quickly looked at Liu Mian and shouted excitedly to the city: "Shi Si Jin! Shi Si Jin! I hope you can let me into the inner garden and go to the palace." Pay homage to the Emperor! I will give you some advice!"
Shi Xiushen was born in the military and had good ears. Hearing the faint shouts, he quickly took the lamp and looked under the palace gate to shine it.
"Can you hear me?" the two said next.
"I can hear it. Is this voice from the Ministry of War and Mr. Liu? Why can't we talk about it tomorrow, but in such birdy weather today?" Shi Xiushen tugged on his oil coat, feeling a little uneasy in his heart for no reason.
"Shi Sijin, I know you are a straightforward person. I would like to speak directly to you, and I won't go around in circles with you!" Jie Wenwu knelt forward half a step forward, howling until his voice was almost hoarse, "Everything about the New Deal is nothing." The discussion has been completed and the situation is clear. The people of the world are eager for the king to make a big plan early, but the holy judgment can't be decided for several days. I don't know why? With such delay for so long, the soldiers and civilians at the border don't know what to do, and it is difficult to restrain the captives. It is definitely not What a blessing to the country! I am willing to kneel under the palace gate now. Unless the emperor issues an edict, I will not return to the official office!"
After hearing this, the Imperial Guards around them all looked at Shi Xiushen, but the latter stared straight into his eyes and remained erect despite the sudden raindrops hitting his face.
"Master Shi," one of the team officers spoke bravely, "it is said that one thing is worse than one thing less. Why should we, the warriors, get involved in it? The two princes are both important ministers of the country. It is best to persuade them to leave and not to report to the emperor. …”
"No." Shi Xiushen stretched out the palm of his left hand, "Sooner or later they will have this day. If even we are on guard against the Emperor, who else can the Emperor trust? Send someone quickly to inform His Majesty."
"Si Jin's words are serious. However, my subordinates think that it is better to speak tactfully..."
"Report truthfully, don't hide it!" Shi Xiushen immediately turned around and looked at him with a stern look.
"Yes, yes..." The team officer was so frightened that he immediately stopped talking. He hurriedly called someone with strong legs to the side, gave him a few instructions in person, gave him a light, and ordered him to rush to the palace.
Seeing that the fourth watch was about to come, the heavy rain in Beijing still showed no sign of letting up, and everyone in the city was soaked to the skin. Shi Xiushen and the other soldiers took another set of oil clothes and changed into them, while Jie and Liu could only wear wet clothes, leaning against the wall with their eyes half closed, feeling confused.
"Damn it, no one has an umbrella here?" Shi Xiushen complained loudly as he wiped his face with his hands, looked up at the sky.
"My subordinate just returned to the camp. The old emperor uncle and Cun Sijin were not there, so he took a pile of oil coats there. Later, he went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to borrow an umbrella, but the father-in-law refused to give it to him." The team officer threw it off. of rain, hand over report.
Shi Xiushen had nothing to say, so he turned around and looked behind him, and saw the sergeant sent earlier running towards him holding an oil-paper umbrella and seemingly holding something in his hand.
He strode to the stairs and saw that the man had thrown away his umbrella. He opened a piece of yellow cloth in his hand, pulled out the scroll inside, and handed it over breathlessly: "Holy... imperial edict."
"Quick, the umbrella is blocking it, and the coal lamp is shining!" As soon as he finished speaking, the team officer next to him quickly picked up the umbrella, grabbed the coal lamp from the side, and lit it with him.
The imperial edict was slowly unfolded, and Shi Xiu Shen's eyes moved rapidly. The expression on his face became more and more complicated, with several wrinkles stacked up horizontally and vertically, making it very ugly.
"Have you finished reading?" The team officer looked at him and silently closed the edict.
Shi Xiushen didn't seem to hear him. After putting down the imperial edict, he walked back and forth three or five times at the city gate. Finally he stood firm, put his hands behind his back, and sighed: "If this is the case, the situation in the court will really change." Already..."
"Do you want to inform Mr. Jie?" the team officer caught up and asked.
"Of course. Are there horses here?" Shi Xiushen pressed his hand against the wall and looked at him seriously.
"Horses are not allowed in the palace without permission."
"I asked you if you have a horse!"
"Yes...there is indeed."
"This is easy to handle." Shi Xiu Shen clapped his hands.
Due to the sound of rain, Jie Wenwu didn't know what was going on at the city gate, so he could only wait half asleep and half awake. After a while, the rain weakened, the wind also slowed down, and the ears could naturally hear it more clearly.
snap——
This powerful voice immediately woke up Jie Wenwu. His body trembled, his eyes widened, and his ears listened carefully.
'Maybe it's the sound of rain? Maybe I got it wrong. ’ He thought about it doubtfully, and then leaned back carefully.
Tulu, Tulu——
This is the horse's snort! Jie Wenwu broke into a cold sweat. He could no longer lie to himself this time. He was anxious to push Liu Mian, who was sleeping soundly, but he stumbled. When he turned over, he saw that the two doors were already open.
A soldier faintly walked out from behind the door. He was riding a horse, waving a piece of yellow cloth in his hand. Without saying a word, he whipped the horse's buttocks twice. Suddenly there was a galloping horse on the bluestone road. The figure shouted loudly: "The emperor has an edict! The emperor has an edict! The civil and military officials want to express their own will and force the emperor, and their intention to form a clique is obvious! Now let a judge decide his case and judge his guilt. Deal with it! The emperor has an edict..."
He galloped crazily along this long straight road. He galloped past Zhongshu Province, galloped past six ministries, galloped past the halls of various ministries and departments, and trampled every place where this road extended. No one dared to stop him, and the muddy water splashed five or six feet high, covering all the surrounding houses. The horse just stopped and stood still under the palace wall.
"What was that sound just now?" Liu Zhennian kicked open the door and asked loudly to the people outside.
"Report, report to the Prime Minister," Li Wenshou bowed in panic, "I didn't hear it clearly. But according to the report from the clerk at the door, someone rode past the door with a piece of yellow cloth and splashed dirt all over him. Ni...ah, I heard that the emperor issued a decree to severely reprimand Jie Wenwu for forcing the emperor and plotting to form a clique..."
"Haha, good!" Liu Zhennian beat his chest excitedly, his face overflowing with joy, "They are really idiots, they pissed off the emperor, I don't see how they can keep their words!"
He looked up to the sky and laughed, then returned to the house. Seeing Yan Wen come out of the room, he shook his hand and said, "Yan Shenzhen is really my think tank! Today's big event happened, the situation suddenly changed, and those who should be dismissed were dismissed. The New Deal can carry out the cleaning that needs to be done!”
Yan Wen smiled lightly and said: "There is no rush. It's just that Jie Wenwu, the chief culprit, how can we spare him? First send the imperial army to capture the people, and then take the opportunity to kill them before settling the matter. We must kill them all, so as not to leave any worries!"
