As the sun rises, the capital begins to liven up, getting closer and closer to the time of the early dynasty.
Even in the morning, the teahouses were already crowded with people, all talking about the fire.
The corruption of the government of the national dynasty began in the late Wanli period, and there were often mutinies among soldiers in the south and southwest of the Yangtze River, and the masses besieged the government or the eunuchs.
This is the foot of the Son of Heaven, the place where hundreds of officials gather, who dares to be so presumptuous!
In the teahouse, there are people from three religions and nine streams, gathered together, and discussed quite eagerly.
"Have you heard?
It is said that this was done by the prince of the clan to vent his dissatisfaction with the court and the emperor!
” "That's not what I've heard, it may be done by those nobles, they have this ability!"
"Don't listen to their nonsense, I have a brother who works on an errand in the criminal department, and he said that those gentry did it, and a few have been caught."
"Really?
Isn't there another saying that those remnants of Donglin did it?
” "It's all guessed, be careful of getting into trouble......"
"Yes, yes, don't say much, drink tea and drink tea......"
Not far from them, a young man dressed in a white robe who looked quite handsome sneered when he heard the words and picked up his teacup.
Opposite him was a woman dressed in redwoods, with a heroic look between her eyebrows and eyes, looking at the man opposite, her eyes were full of obsession.
The two sat quietly, drinking tea, and glancing at the people passing downstairs from time to time.
People from the Shuntian Mansion, the Criminal Department, and the patrol battalion come and go, and this case is very big, and it will not stop for a while.
The woman looked at the man, leaned over and whispered, "Childe, the court meeting is about to begin, you say, can what we do work?"
” The man glanced at her, frowned slightly, and did not speak.
He hated this woman from the beginning, then endured it, and now he likes it faintly, but there is always resistance in his heart, and he doesn't want to say anything more to her.
The woman is the most sensitive, how can she not detect his thoughts, but she has been reluctant to pierce it, looking at his expression, the woman knows that he must have a back move.
Bi Ziyan and the others didn't sleep all night, and now they are full of distress.
The cabinet, the cabinet assistant ministers, three ministers, six departments, six people, a total of nine people, everyone frowned, full of solemnity.
Governors, the governor's mind is becoming more and more unpredictable, everyone is quiet, cautious and cautious, and asks about the attitude of Jingyang Palace.
"I'm afraid it's going to change."
Bi Ziyan looked around and sighed softly.
The variable he said is not that the 'political reform' will not pass, but that it will not be able to show the government and the opposition that the imperial court is united and supports the 'political reform', and as long as there is a murmur, there will be layers of resistance in the process of promoting it throughout the country.
Sun Chengzong was more worried, and said: "Originally, the governors and governors of the provinces were dissatisfied with the transfer, and it was the emperor who forced them down, and if there was a dispute in the court meeting, the emperor would not be able to suppress his anger......
Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and if there was an emperor killing people and officials going to prison at the 'political reform' court meeting, it would undoubtedly add an 'arrogant' hat to the 'political reform' and cause more trouble.
Even Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu and others have a calm face, 'political reform' is the most important innovation of Jing Zhengchao, if this goes wrong, it may put the emperor's years of planning into water.
A group of people fell silent, and now the problem is not only with the emperor, but the key lies with the emperor.
You look at me, I look at you, in the end, Bi Ziyan looked at Fu Changzong, and said in a deep voice: "Fu Shangshu, can you enter the palace to meet the emperor?"
” Bi Ziyan's meaning is self-evident, it is to persuade Fu Changzong to persuade Zhu Xu that he must suppress his anger when discussing in the court, no matter what the courtiers are, he must give the outside world an impression, that is: the court is united and concentrates on completing political reform!
Everyone's eyes fell on Fu Changzong, and at this time, only when he entered the palace would the emperor give three points of face.
Fu Changzong shook his head and said, "If you want the emperor to be calm, it is better to find a way to control the rhythm of the court discussion and not give others a chance." ” Everyone frowned secretly, they all felt that Fu Changzong didn't want to wade into troubled waters or carry the black cauldron, but they couldn't force it, so they could only be silent.
After a long time, Sun Chengzong perked up his spirits and said: "Fu Shangshu is right, the governors, the governor is about to enter the palace, let's talk again, the court meeting must be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the cabinet!"
” Everyone knows that this is the only way, and the result can only be known by the court.
The governors and governors were ready to go from all over the capital, and everyone couldn't help but glance in the direction of Shuntianfu.
This fire is really touching people's hearts!
Zhang Ruitu, Huang Liji, Zhao Han, Zhou Weijing, and then Li Banghua, Zhang Wenda, Huang Chengyuan and other governors, respectively, went out from the post station, Honglu Temple or their own homes, sitting in a sedan chair, a carriage, or on foot, all walking towards Donghua Gate.
Ma Shilong, Fu Zonglong, Yan Mingtai, Du Wenhuan, Zhao Shujiao, He Hucheng and other governors went out almost at the same time, the destination was Xihuamen, and then joined the governors and went to the Imperial Palace.
In a remote alley, there were six people hiding, and they were masked in the morning, carrying things wrapped in black cloth in their hands.
All six of them were clinging to the wall, except for the one in front of them, who stuck out his head and stared at an alleyway not far away.
After a while, the leader turned his head and said in a low voice, "There will be three waves of people later, so be sure to clean it up neatly and cleanly." ” "Yes!"
The other five people all bowed their heads in response, in unison, obviously after strict training, and it was clear from their eyes that these people were all dead soldiers!

The leader turned his head and looked at it again, turned around and said: "After that, according to the plan, immediately rush to Donghua Gate, if there is any fish that slips through the net, it will be completely strangled and cleaned!"
” "Yes!"
The eyes of this group of people did not fluctuate at all, as if they were putting life and death out of the way!
There are nearly twenty such secret people in different corners of the capital, and the difference is that the final destination of the other wave is Xihuamen!
They are all lurking in the corner, like hunting cheetahs, waiting patiently, waiting for the governor of the Ming Dynasty, the governor to appear!
In a slightly taller building not far from Donghua Gate, the window was slightly open, and Zhu Zonghan held a telescope to take in all the dead soldiers in the corner.
Behind him, a brocade-clothed guard led more than a dozen guards wearing soft armor, all of whom were 'Ti Cai' who had been secretly trained by the brocade guard for many years, each of them was born to kill, and they were full of cold and cold aura.
Zhu Zonghan was watching, and behind him, the squad leader in his early twenties, wearing lilac clothes, said solemnly, "My lord, I think there is something wrong with it." ” Zhu Zonghan didn't reply, the zombie face was expressionless, and said lightly, "Say." ” The purple-clothed squad leader frowned and said, "My lord, the control of the Huimeng Chamber of Commerce has always been strict, even if the thief chief uses this to send these killers in, it is impossible for us to know nothing, and we will not trace the clues until the incident." ” Zhu Zonghan had already been puzzled for a long time, turned his head to look at him and said, "Tell me your guess." ” The purple-clothed squad leader looked at the expressionless deputy commander, clenched his fists and bowed his head, "My lord, the lower officials guess that either someone in Tumu Fort has defected, or someone in Horqin has defected, otherwise they would not have been able to send so many killers into the customs!"
” Zhu Zonghan didn't speak, his eyes flashed coldly.
Horqin used to be quite simple, but with Huang Taiji's past, the situation became complicated, Jinyiwei sent people to infiltrate many times without success, but lost a lot, Tumubao and Horqin, he was more inclined to Horqin's lurkers to rebel, and his position was not low.
Seeing that Zhu Zonghan didn't speak, the purple-clothed squad leader said again: "My lord, the emperor is about to leave Beijing, and we don't know if these people are all of them, if not......
The consequences are unimaginable!
” Zhu Zonghan's face changed suddenly, and his eyes were cold.
The squad leader clenched his fists and bowed his head, and stopped talking.
How could Zhu Zonghan not know the seriousness of the matter in his heart, his right fist was clenched tightly, his chest rose and fell slightly, he turned around violently, picked up the telescope again and looked around, and said, "Don't kill them all, leave a few alive, I want to know something." ” The purple-clothed squad leader said, "Yes," Then he wondered: "My lord, since we all know their traces, why don't we arrest them directly, otherwise we will scare these adults." ” Zhu Zonghan turned his binoculars and said indifferently: "The emperor said that it is useless to restrain the horse from the precipice, and you must have enough fright." ” The purple-clothed squad leader didn't understand such words, so he could only respond silently.
"It's coming!"
Zhu Zonghan's subordinates on both sides looked at Zhu Zonghan in a low voice.
Zhu Zonghan raised his telescope fiercely, and sure enough, Zhao Han's sedan chair slowly appeared, with only four sedan chair drivers, plus a person who looked like a housekeeper.
"Here we are."
In the dark alley not far away, the leading man in black watched Zhao Han's sedan chair appear and said in a low voice.
The other five quickly pushed off the black cloth on the long knife, revealing a sharp blade, all with calm eyes, ready to rush out at any time.
The leader looked at Zhao Han's carriage and said in a low voice, "You have to fight quickly, Huang Liji and Wang Sanshan are behind you, and you must not miss!"
” "Yes!"
The five men slowly moved forward, ready to make a move.
Zhu Zonghan upstairs also raised his hand and stared coldly at the group of black-clothed people.
Zhao Han sat in a sedan chair and walked towards Donghua Gate leisurely.
Last night's fire weakened the courtiers' confidence in the court and the emperor, and today's 'court discussion' is destined to have twists and turns!
As soon as this twist and turn came out, the impact was destined to be far-reaching.
He was very worried, as an old man who followed the emperor in his early years, Zhao Han didn't want the emperor's prestige to be damaged, but this matter was not something he could control, and now the courtiers were shaken, and the specific situation could only be seen in the court discussion.
As the sedan chair continued to move forward, the group of black-clothed people slowly squeezed out of the alley, ready to shoot at any time.
Zhu Zonghan's eyes were cold, and he said, "As soon as they make a move, they will send a few people to entangle, wait for the two adults in the back to come up, pay attention to protection, there can be no injuries at all!"
” "Yes!"
The purple-clothed captain responded and went out with his fists clenched.
"Kill!
Quick!
” The leader shouted, rushed out of the alley, and killed Zhao Han's sedan chair.
At the same time, the same thing is happening in many other places in the capital.
Different dead soldiers targeted different officials in the Ming Dynasty, and naturally there were different brocade guards secretly guarding.
