Ye Yutong carefully looked at the guards holding weapons and concluded that these were definitely not people from the princess's mansion.
The princess's bodyguards should have been changed before entering the palace. These should be Prime Minister Zuo's people.
The guards took out their weapons fiercely and were about to kill Ye Yutong.
At this time, many guards suddenly poured in from the door, led by Ye Mingxuan and Ye Mingzhe.
Prime Minister Zuo and the Minister of Punishment looked at the guards who came in, feeling a little anxious.
But until now, they didn't know they were surrounded.
They also expected people outside the palace to help them.
Ye Yutong sat on the chair brought out by the maid and ordered with a stern face, "Arrest them all and put them in prison. We will deal with them when the emperor comes back."
"Yes, concubine."
Prime Minister Zuo and the Minister of Punishment wanted to resist, but the guards had already put knives on their necks.
Ye Mingxuan said with a half-smile, "Are the adults still waiting for someone to come and rescue them?"
Prime Minister Zuo was shocked and pretended to be puzzled: "I don't know what Mr. Ye is talking about."
"Oh, really?" Ye Mingxuan looked at the Minister of Punishment, "Master Sun should know very well. After all, he and the Minister of Dali Temple are helping you contact the people in Chunxiang Alley and the people ambushed on the pier outside the city."
Several people looked at him in shock, never expecting that even Chunxiang Alley would be exposed.
There was also a dock outside the city. How did they know about it?
Then I'm afraid they're going to be doomed tonight.
Several people collapsed on the ground in fear. They knew in their hearts that tonight was probably going to be over.
And those ministers who had just expressed their loyalty to Ye Yutong were now very happy that they had made a wise choice.
Ye Mingxuan waved to the guards, "Put them in jail, then put them under guard at their house, and send someone to search them early tomorrow morning."
"Yes, sir."
After all the Prime Minister Zuo and his group were escorted away, Ye Yutong said to the remaining officials: "Everyone, please go back and rest. We have to go to court tomorrow morning."
The officials breathed a sigh of relief and immediately knelt down to thank him.
Then, led by the guards, they left the palace one after another.
When they saw the blood stains near the palace entrance and the bodies that had not been cleaned up, they all felt chills on their backs.
Not daring to stay here, they all hurried back to the house.
Ye Yutong is in a very good mood now. He finally pulled out these nails in the capital today.
He asked his two brothers, "Eldest brother, second brother, what's going on outside now? How many people does Prime Minister Zuo have?"
Ye Mingxuan said: "There are more than 400 people in the city and about 3,000 people outside the city. Most of them were spies planted by Li Yunhao when he left. Lin Jiang and Zhang Daqian arrested them all and killed them directly when they resisted fiercely."
"That's good." Ye Yutong nodded and said, "It's too late today. Big brother and second brother, don't go back. Just rest in the palace for the night."
"No, sister, please go to sleep first. There are still things to deal with outside. My second brother and I went over to take a look." The two brothers explained a few words to her and then left the palace with the guards.
When she went to court the next day, Ye Yutong clearly felt that these ministers were more honest than before, and they were careful when watching her speak.
Ye Yutong found it funny. It seemed that this trick was quite effective in frightening the monkeys.
At this time, Li Yunze also arrived in the capital.
The guards guarding the city gate opened their mouths in surprise when they saw the emperor coming back.
We just heard the news yesterday that the emperor was critically ill, and then we experienced the riot last night. Everyone is still in a state of confusion.
They all thought that Prime Minister Zuo dared to lead people to rebel because he must have known that the emperor was gone.
But they never expected that the emperor would appear in front of them alive.
In a short time, the news spread from one to ten, and from one to another.
Li Yunze's carriage has not yet arrived at the palace, and the whole capital knows that he is back.
The people in the city were all cheering with joy. They were all worried when they heard yesterday that the emperor was critically ill.
The wife of the family went to the temple to worship Buddha and pray this morning, hoping that the emperor could turn the crisis around.
Unexpectedly, before people arrived at the temple, they heard that the emperor had won the battle and returned to Beijing safely.
Such good news spread throughout the capital in no time.
The younger people were dancing and laughing, and the older people were there with their hands folded and reciting Amitabha.
Yun Chaoguo finally gave birth to a good emperor and queen who devoted himself to the people, and now everyone has enough to eat.
They wished that the emperor and queen could live a long life, preferably immortality and live forever.
Li Yunze walked anxiously on the stone road of the palace, thinking about Tongtong, whom he hadn't seen for several months, and his heart beat very fast.
When he was about to reach the Jinluan Hall, Li Yunze stopped.
Listening to the courtiers' discussions and Ye Yutong's occasional responses, he showed a long-lost smile.
When the guard at the door saw him, he was so surprised that he forgot to salute.
Li Yunze smiled and waved his hand, signaling them to be silent.
He walked into the Golden Palace with gentle steps.
Looking at Ye Yutong sitting at the top, he stared at her for a while.
He passed the ministers and walked straight towards her.
Ye Yutong slept late yesterday and was a little drowsy now.
Hearing the silence below, she looked over in confusion and saw that Li Yunze had walked to the center of the hall.
She opened her mouth wide in surprise, her eyes slowly turning red as she watched the person she hadn't seen for several months return safely.
Li Yunze took two quick steps, knelt on one knee in front of her, looked at her tenderly and said, "Tongtong, I'm back."
