The night of June 25th.
Kunning Palace spent the first half of the dull and hot night and finally fell asleep.
Xie Huai, the chamberlain on duty at Donghua Gate, nodded his head suddenly, woke up suddenly, raised his head to look, and began to yawn again. Xie Huai got up, washed his face, and pinched himself twice. Only then did he wake up.
When guarding the palace gate, there is no room for carelessness.
If you can't even do your duties well, let alone the emperor and the empress, even the eunuchs won't give up.
There were voices outside the door, followed by two knocks on the door.
"Commander Shi Liu Changge of the Security Bureau, and fellow commander Zhi Tang Buping, have urgent matters to see the emperor."
When Xie Huai heard this, he couldn't help but frown and said in a sharp voice through the door: "Commander Liu Shi, it's almost five o'clock now. If there is something urgent, we can't wait until dawn."
Liu Changge said indifferently: "It's extremely urgent. Please let me know immediately."
Xie Huai saw an extra document under the door, stamped with an emergency seal, and knew there was no need to delay. He picked up the document and said, "Notice immediately, please wait."
Urgent documents, eight hundred miles away. Urgent documents. Immediately report to the emperor when entering the palace at night. Do not delay for a moment. This is the rule.
Xie Huai took the documents and hurried to Kunning Palace.
Zhu Yunwen was sleeping soundly when he was gently woken up. He looked confusedly at Ma Enhui who sat up. Ma Enhui looked helplessly towards the door and sighed: "The chamberlain reported that the Security Bureau has something urgent to see."
The maid fetched water, and Zhu Yunwen woke up after washing his face. Heating can be made in winter, but air conditioning cannot be made in this deadly summer. Although you can make ice to cool down, using ice to cool down will bring a lot of moisture, which is not good for your health.
Zhu Yunwen was not used to having people watching and fanning him when he was sleeping. It seemed that he had to make a fan. It would be impossible to sleep well if it was always so hot.

After muttering and appeasing Ma Enhui, Zhu Yunwen left the harem and went to Wuying Palace.
Liu Changge and Tang Buping hurriedly entered the palace.
Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and shook the document in his hand: "The document does not say anything important. Isn't it the same for you?"
Liu Changge quickly apologized: "Your Majesty, we are worried that the news will be leaked, so we made this decision and asked for a meeting late at night. We have urgent matters. According to the long-term control and investigation of the Security Bureau, it has been determined that the people behind the scenes such as Widow Liu and Liu Ming are there. Qin Tianjian."
"Qin Tian Jian?"
Zhu Yunwen was a little confused. A group of guys who looked at the stars and the moon were actually involved in the rebellion?
Tang Buping reported: "Not long ago, six people including Widow Liu and Liu Ming secretly entered Qintian Prison. With so many people meeting secretly, it is not trivial. There must be a conspiracy behind the scenes. The Security Bureau requested an order to arrest them."
Zhu Yunwen understood clearly that it was related to the past and present, and Yin soldiers. After a long period of surveillance and control, the Security Bureau had mastered most of the clues. They were just waiting for a good opportunity to ensure that after arresting this group of people, their accomplices would be arrested in a short time. They won't be noticed for a long time, buying time for the Security Bureau to catch them all.
Now a group of people gathered in Qintian Prison, which was an opportunity not to be missed.
Zhu Yunwen walked out of Wuying Hall, looked up at the bright starry sky, and said in a deep voice: "Since you woke me up, I will go to Qintian Prison to have a look."
"No."
Liu Changge quickly persuaded.
Zhu Yunwen shook his head slightly and motioned to the chamberlain to get his sword: "It's useless to talk more, let's go."
Liu Changge was a little helpless. He looked at Tang Buping and secretly told him to protect the emperor. After leaving the palace, he ordered Xue Xia. Xiong Wucheng, Pang Huan and others sent additional manpower to ensure Zhu Yunwen's safety.
Qin Tianjian.
Liu Bowan sat upright on the Seven-Star Platform, looking up at the star-studded Hanyu, his fingers kept counting, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, and his gray half-foot beard moved in the wind.
Liu Ming lowered his hands to his side, Liu Moye closed his eyes slightly, Wang Quanzhen looked solemn, and Li Chunzhi, Sun Cangya and others waited quietly.
Liu Bowan stared at the starry sky, his eyes suddenly condensed, and he saw a little white light appearing in the starry sky, followed by a shining light.
When Wang Quanzhen saw this scene, he immediately became happy: "Meteor, meteor, a big star has fallen."
Liu Bowan glanced at Wang Quanzhen and said in a deep voice: "The world changes, light and darkness alternate. When it is darkest, the brightest will disappear. When it is brightest, the darkest will retreat. At the moment, the dark night is in the sky, although there are stars dotted with it, It is still difficult to hide the true nature of darkness. The only way to do anything now is to wait for the dawn and dawn in the east."
Liu Ming clenched his fists and said reluctantly: "The dawn in the east is still very long, but how long can we wait? If it doesn't dawn, we will The lights should be lit instead of waiting.”
Wang Quanzhen is a little confused. It's not long before dawn. Besides, no one cares about you when you light a candle. What are you nagging about?
Liu Moxie looked at Liu Bowan deeply: "I don't agree with waiting either. We need to strive for greater initiative, instead of hiding in the dark all the time and just being a clown. I suggest using the power in our hands to leave no trace Get rid of the main traitor or use other people's hands to get rid of it."
Wang Quanzhen looked at Liu Moxie. This widow was different from usual. She used to be calm and gentle, and her poems and words were soothing. But now she seems to have become cold and sharp, making people want to escape. .
A treacherous person?
What are they talking about and who is the traitor?
Wait a minute, I invited everyone here tonight, wasn’t it to watch shooting stars, talk about astrology and gossip, and discuss the divination of the Book of Changes?
Li Chunzhi stared at Liu Bowan and objected for the first time: "We bear deep hatred. We have waited for more than ten years. At this moment, we are still allowed to hold back, but how many more days and months can we wait? You know , there are many wild wolves outside, no matter it is day or night, they all open their bloodthirsty eyes and twitch their sensitive noses, we may be exposed at any time."
Liu Bowan said solemnly: "That's why we need to hibernate and wait for a red sun."
Sun Cangya asked: "If the red sun does not come, but the wild wolf comes first, how should we deal with it?"
Liu Bowan looked at everyone majestically: "As long as I am here, you will be safe. Waiting for another opportunity is to preserve our strength. If we act in a hurry and make another wrong step, we will probably die without burial. Land! Do you choose to wait or choose to die?"
Liu Ming said coldly: "We are already dead. Our current breathing and actions are just for revenge and to see our relatives underground. Pangu, I think it is time to gather everyone and prepare for a large-scale operation Yes. I heard that more than 3,000 war horses have been prepared in Yunnan and will be transported to the capital in batches in half a month."
Liu Bowan frowned: "They are our last source of wealth and must not be involved. If something unexpected happens to them, who will maintain and feed our huge strength? Without money to maintain it, do you think our people will still be obedient? How do we plan things?"
Liu Ming certainly knew the power of money.
The wages of avarice is death.
Without money, who is willing to work hard; without money, who is willing to look the other way; without money, who is willing to cover up?
Yin soldiers are humans, not ghosts. They do not exist in the underworld, but live in the human world.
The reason why it has not been discovered or uprooted for such a long time is because of the power of money.
Liu Ming gritted his teeth and said, "But once we have these war horses, we will have a group of strength. In this case, those lost big shots will definitely take risks in order to gain wealth!"
Liu Bowan shook his head and sighed: "Liu Ming, you are too naive. At the critical moment, the lost big shots may not stand up. They have fear in their hearts that prevents them from moving. Just say that person The man named Li was suppressed by the imperial court until he could recover. I thought he still had some strength and could stand up straight, but he is an idiot."
The more Wang Quanzhen listened, the more something was wrong. What on earth were these people talking about? Three thousand war horses. The surname was Li. Couldn't you just point to Li Jinglong's name?
There seems to be something wrong with this group of people, could it be...
Wang Quanzhen shivered and his expression became panicked.
Liu Bowan glanced at Wang Quanzhen, ignored him, and continued: "I have made up my mind. Pangu will be closed from now on and will no longer accept guests. Everyone is dormant. Remember, if you don't see the sign, you won't show up. If you don't see Wen's order, you won't obey."
Liu Ming lowered his head, full of unwillingness.
Liu Moxie raised her hand to take off the hairpin from her hair and placed it on the stone platform in front of her: "In that case, I will leave the capital for a while. I heard that a new capital is being built in Peiping, and I want to see it with my own eyes."
Li Chunzhi looked at the starry sky silently, then suddenly turned his head to look at Liu Bowan, and shouted: "You know how my father died, right? He was beaten to death by the warriors in front of the palace, he was thrown to death! Can you imagine? A big living person, he was fine when he went out, but his face was shattered when he came back!"
Liu Bowan's heart trembled. Everyone knew what happened back then, but what could be done? Who can defeat a butcher?
Li Chunzhi clenched his fists and said hysterically: "I can't wait any longer! You have also seen that Emperor Jianwen is now aggressive and there is no place for us. If we wait any longer, our power will be dispersed without a fight. I would rather die. I want to be tragic, and I don’t want to die a bitter death!”
Wang Quanzhen's Adam's apple moved slightly. This group of people really wanted to rebel.
However, you people are rebelling, why did you drag me, an innocent person, with you? I just came to see the stars...
Sun Cangya let out a breath and said with dissatisfaction: "When we faced Butcher Zhu, we hid in the dirt. Now facing a weak Emperor Jianwen, do we still have to humble ourselves in the dirt? You hold the Ancient and Modern Order, we I listen to you, but this matter is of great importance, and I think we still need to make collective decisions. It is time to bring them together to discuss countermeasures."
Liu Bowan shook his head and said resolutely: "No, the capital is not safe, and I can't leave the capital. This time Yang Wushan sent people, with the goal of Shan Zi Ling. I'm worried that the situation may change. The safest thing at the moment is Hibernating, believe me..."
Suddenly, Liu Bowan saw a figure appearing under the Qixing Stage, carrying three swords on his back and a stooped figure.
