Da da!
Da da!
Wei Zhongxian rode his horse to the palace, sweating profusely.
But as soon as he entered the palace, Wei Zhongxian found that all the royal guards on duty at the Meridian Gate had changed, and they were all new faces.
Wei Zhongxian became nervous. He didn't know whether these people were replaced by the emperor himself, or whether someone was seeking power to usurp the throne.
"Impossible! It's impossible for someone to seek power and usurp the throne! Who has such courage? No one except the emperor can recruit so many new faces in the imperial city at once!"
Wei Zhongxian murmured in his heart as he walked quickly, sweating profusely.
Tick tock.
Tick tock.
The pieces fell to the ground.
"Eunuch Wei, you are here. Your Majesty is waiting for you."
At this time, Wang Chengen appeared outside the door of Xinuang Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, and smiled and said something to Wei Zhongxian who walked in quickly.
When Wei Zhongxian saw Wang Chengen smiling like a spring breeze, he felt quite reassured, but he still subconsciously asked: "Where is the emperor?"
"Your Majesty is fine."
Wang Chengen knew what Wei Zhongxian wanted to ask, so he answered truthfully.
As soon as Wang Chengen said, "Your Majesty is fine," Wei Zhongxian was completely relieved. He knelt on the ground all of a sudden, then crawled to the ground and climbed into the study room in Xinuang Pavilion where Zhu Youxue was located. He couldn't help but deflate. He pursed his lips and then cried loudly: "Your Majesty! Luo Sigong is rebelling. He has no regard for the Emperor. He is unfaithful to you. His elbows are turned outward. He must be having an affair with Li Sancai. He... He is really nothing, and I want to join him!"
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly accused Luo Sigong, and he was so anxious that he couldn't even speak clearly.
Since Tianqi came to the throne, Wei Zhongxian has been in the limelight.
But this time Luo Sigong suppressed his power.
Let him be frustrated for the first time.
So Wei Zhongxian lost his temper for the first time.
After all, the factory guards have been regarded by him as his power base, and he really can't bear to have someone who is against him in his territory.
"I already know it!"
At this time, Zhu Youxiao's voice came from the inner study room, his tone was very calm.
Wei Zhongxian stopped talking and stared at the emperor Zhu Youxiao who was getting closer and closer to him through the curtain with tearful eyes.
Wei Zhongxian was naturally sensible and did not ask how the emperor knew, because he knew that the emperor could know what happened to his factory guard through the inner factory.
"These scholars dare to assemble and make a fuss like this. This shows that the Jin Yiwei responsible for public security in the city is connivant. How could I not guess?"
Zhu Youxiao said one sentence and then said: "So I have sent orders to Lu Jiude and Xu Guangqi in advance. Lu Jiude led a thousand feather forest guards to the Jinyi Guards Hall, and Xu Guangqi led a thousand feathers forest guards to replace the Jinyi Guards guarding the Meridian Gate. All the flag officers of the Yulin Guards brought their armor into the palace and hid in the Yuehua Gate and the Sun Jing Gate! Now you hold my edict in hand and go back again and ask all the actual officers of the Jinyi Guards of more than 100 households to come here. I want Teach me!"
As Zhu Youxiao said that, he turned around and left, leaving behind a handwritten edict with dried ink.
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly reached out to pick up the hand edict, but quickly took his hand back. He first put his hands on his body and wiped them dry before holding the hand edict in both hands: "I obey the order!"
…
Wei Zhongxian once again galloped towards Zhengyangmen non-stop, tirelessly.
But when Wei Zhongxian arrived, he found that outside the Jinyiwei hall, except for Yang Huanzai, a group of scholars who were responsible for controlling the trouble, Luo Sigong was standing here with all the Jinyiwei officers.
The people who guarded the troublemakers also became the guards brought by Lu Jiude.
Wei Zhongxian was stunned for a moment when he saw this.
Immediately afterwards, Wei Zhongxian got off his horse, took out his hand and issued an edict: "There is a decree! All the actual officers of more than 100 households in Jinyiwei will enter the palace immediately to listen to the instructions!"
"The ministers are waiting to receive the order!"
Luo Sigong replied.
As a result, a large number of Jin Yiwei immediately got up and went to Qianqing Palace.
Wei Zhongxian watched this scene and stared at Luo Sigong with dagger-like eyes. He hated this person who suddenly appeared and stole his limelight.
Before this, Luo Sigong had always refused to show up because he was ill. Wei Zhongxian thought that he was being sensible and would not conflict with him, so he did not take Luo Sigong seriously.
Not only Wei Zhongxian thought so, but many middle and high-level officials in Jinyiwei gradually forgot about Luo Sigong's existence and began to work with Wei Zhongxian, the boss of Dongchang Factory.
After all, following Wei Zhongxian to ransack homes and seize people is very exciting.
Moreover, as a boss, Wei Zhongxian is not stingy. He will give credit to those who deserve credit from below, and give rewards to those who deserve rewards.
However, no one expected that Luo Sigong would be forced to leave because of Li Sancai's incident.
When Luo Sigong saw that all the imperial guards outside the Meridian Gate of the palace had been changed, he couldn't help but feel nervous and smiled bitterly. He thought that His Majesty was too careful and how could he control all the imperial guards.
But for this reason, Luo Sigong still knelt down respectfully after arriving at the Qianqing Palace, only looking up at the closed red door.
The other royal guards also knelt down.
At this time, Wang Chengen saw the right opportunity and walked out: "Your Majesty has a decree to save you!"
So, these Jin Yiwei all said "Thank you" and stood up.
Wang Chengen then ordered: "Your Majesty still has a decree. Luo Sigong will immediately execute all the scholars who made a scene in the Imperial Guard Hall! To serve as a warning to others!"
"Your Majesty, forgive me. The scholars are just young and ignorant, and their crimes are not serious enough to lead to death. Moreover, there has never been a case of murdering a scholar in the two hundred years of our country. In order to preserve the honor of Your Majesty, the ministers dare not obey the order! "
Luo Sigong replied at this time.
All the royal guards present looked at Luo Sigong in astonishment.
Only Wei Zhongxian snickered.
Wang Chengen therefore returned to the palace.
After a while, Wang Chengen continued to walk out and replied: "His Majesty said you were bold! In addition, His Majesty also asked you, do you also think Li Sancai should not be killed?"
Luo Sigong pursed his lips and replied: "Yes! Li Sancai is a famous scholar in Shilin. If he is killed, he will lose the hearts of the people in the world. Please give me a clear warning!"
Then, Wang Chengen shouted to Ma Xianglin and others of the Yulin Guard who were standing around outside the palace: "Your Majesty has a decree to kill Luo Sigong immediately!"
The royal guards were even more horrified after hearing this.
Zhu Li, a member of the Imperial Guard Qianhu, stood up first and interceded for Luo Sigong. If Luo Sigong was dismissed, he could accept it, but he was hacked to death. Out of kindness, he had to intercede for Luo Sigong: "Your Majesty, Rong, Governor Zuo is an old and foolish man. Please remember him as an old servant of the late emperor and spare him the death penalty!"
"Please, Your Majesty, remember him as an old servant of the late emperor and spare him the death penalty!"
The other imperial guards who had been favored by Luo Sigong also knelt down.
Seeing this, Tian Ergen couldn't help but grit his teeth and had to kneel down.
Seeing this, Xu Xianchun did not dare to stand any longer. After all, he was a Jinyiwei, and he did not want to rebel like a Jinyiwei.
Yang Huan and Sun Yunhe also knelt down.
Wei Zhongxian was stunned when he saw this and looked at Wang Chengen.
