Chapter 176
Concubine Ming and her party came close and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Why, my sister also plans to intervene?"

Concubine Xian looked at Concubine Ming and asked in a cold voice.

"It's better for my sister to advise my younger sister not to interfere." Concubine De warned.

Concubine Ming looked at them, her eyes swept over everyone around her one by one.

The charming eyes are like a sharp sword.

"What are the guards in the palace doing? These eunuchs and maids are making such a disturbance, why don't you take them down?" She calmly looked at a square-faced captain among the guards.

The square-faced captain was also very depressed at this time.

In normal times, he would have captured these eunuchs and maids long ago, but now not only Zheng Qingsong has passed away, but even the commander of the imperial guards, Yi Anxing, is no longer in the palace.

None of them made up their minds among the guards.

Even if he was given ten guts, he would not dare to confront the two imperial concubines.

"It's a rule in the palace that any palace maid and eunuch who fights will be punished with a stick. What's the matter? Have you all forgotten?" Concubine Ming looked at him sharply.

The square-faced captain looked at Concubine De and Concubine Xian, but he still dared not make a move.

"Hmph, useless trash." Seeing him like this, Concubine Ming didn't bother to talk nonsense with him.

"Xiao Lan, take them down, whoever dares to resist will be hacked to death."

She raised her eyes and said coldly.

"This palace is here, who dares to be presumptuous."

Concubine De and Concubine Xian were immediately annoyed, they put aside their previous grievances and stopped in front of Concubine Ming.

Clang!
A long knife was unsheathed, and the icy blade lay in front of the two of them.

Concubine Ming held the knife and looked at them indifferently.

"Do you think I dare to kill you?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence around her, and everyone looked at her timidly.

To draw swords against the two imperial concubines, perhaps only Concubine Ming dared to do so in this palace.

Concubine De and Concubine Xian trembled in fright.

"Your Majesty has passed away, you don't know how to mourn, and you still make such nonsense, you really have no shame."

"Xiao Lan, what are you waiting for?"

Concubine Ming frowned, and looked at Xiaolan beside her.

"The slaves obey."

Xiaolan stepped forward and led a group of court ladies to take down all the fighting maids and eunuchs.

Everyone around did not dare to speak.

At this moment, a large number of hurried footsteps came.

Hundreds of warriors in black armor walked through the corridor and surrounded the surrounding area.

Seeing them, everyone's hearts even rose to their throats.

Shadow Guard!

Both His Majesty and Eunuch Wei have passed away, who can mobilize the Shadow Guard?

Everyone couldn't help feeling uneasy, even Concubine De and Concubine Xian.

"Slave Cao Zhengchun pays homage to Concubine Ming."

Cao Zhengchun came to Concubine Ming with a high voice, and directly knelt down and said.

"Greetings to the concubine Ming." Hundreds of shadow guards followed and bowed.

Concubine Ming looked down at Cao Zhengchun, a strange color flashed in her eyes.

"You were arranged by Ming'er?"

Cao Zhengchun said: "Your Highness has an order to order the servants to protect the safety of the empress."

Concubine Ming nodded slightly, and asked again: "What other arrangements does Ming'er have?"

Cao Zhengchun said again: "Your Highness ordered the shadow guards to control the palace."

Concubine Ming looked at the shadow guards around her, and said softly, "Get up, and follow Ming'er's orders."

Afterwards, she looked at Concubine Xian and Concubine De, and said: "If there is anything you can't do, you can ask me."

"The slaves obey."

Cao Zhengchun stood up and said with a silly smile: "If your lady is tired, you can go back to rest first, and leave it to the servants to handle here."

"No need, I'll watch you handle it here." Concubine Ming said.

"Yes." Cao Zhengchun said to the little eunuch next to him, "Hurry up and bring a chair for the empress."

After a while, two young eunuchs came over carrying a chair.

Concubine Ming looked at the chair and sat on it.

"Your Majesty, rest first, and this servant will deal with this group of idiots." Cao Zhengchun said with a flattering smile.

Seeing Cao Zhengchun in such a state, Concubine Ming couldn't help muttering in her heart.

The old eunuch will come.

Cao Zhengchun turned around, and said with a smile on his face: "Commander Xie Chen, take over the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and call all the captains of the imperial guards. Anyone who dares to disobey the order will be imprisoned in the shadow guard prison."

After Xie Chen cupped his hands slightly, he immediately led the shadow guards into the Imperial Horse Prison.

No one dared to resist the shadow guard's attack.

As for Concubine De and Concubine Xian, they are still under the blade of Concubine Ming and have not recovered.

Half an hour later, the entire palace was under the control of the Shadow Guard.

The Shadow Guard was able to do so thanks to Eunuch Wei's remaining prestige.

……

Kyoto, outside the city.

The cavalry smashed the dust, and the sound of horseshoes was like thunder, like rapid raindrops hitting the ground.

In front of the city gate, a group of soldiers guarding the gate couldn't help but panic when they saw this.

"Quickly, close the city gate!"

someone shouted.

However, he was interrupted by someone immediately, saying: "Shut up, that's His Highness Prince Rui."

Afterwards, a group of shadow guards in black costumes flooded into the city, and took over the city gate and city wall without saying a word.

When Zheng Ming arrived at the city gate on horseback, there were only shadow guards left in front of and behind the entire city gate.

Zheng Ming stood in front of the city gate on horseback, looking up at the majestic city wall.

"The king is back!"

At the beginning, he was exiled from the capital, and there was a clear decree that he was not allowed to leave the fief forever. Nearly three years later, he came back.

"Slave Cao Zhengchun pays homage to Your Highness." Cao Zhengchun stepped forward to pay homage.

Zheng Ming looked down at him and said with a smile, "Get up."

But behind him, Yu Huatian narrowed his eyes, looking at Cao Zhengchun.

This is Cao Zhengchun!

He looked at Cao Zhengchun who was smiling all over his face, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

At this time, he already regarded Cao Zhengchun as a competitor.

He used to be the governor of the West Factory, and now he is the governor of the Audit Office, and Cao Zhengchun is now the governor of the East Factory. Although the East Factory has just been established, Cao Zhengchun has already taken over the shadow guards in Kyoto.

The two of them seemed to be natural competitors by Zheng Ming's side.

"How is the situation in the palace?" Zheng Ming asked.

Cao Zhengchun got up and stood beside Zheng Ming, and replied respectfully: "Return to Your Highness, everything is under control."

"Well, let's go." Zheng Ming nodded slightly, and rode into the city.

More than a thousand cavalry followed behind.

On the street, the imperial guards had already set up a strict ban. Most of the people were hiding at home or standing at the corner of the street, watching Zheng Ming secretly.

Of course, spies from all major forces are indispensable among them.

However, Zheng Ming didn't care about these things, and the next step is to enter the palace.

Two moments later, Zheng Ming came to the gate of the palace.

Four octogenarians are already waiting for him here.

Zheng Ziming and Zheng Ziyuan looked at each other, and then looked at Zheng Ming who was riding a horse.

Zheng Ming was dressed in bright yellow brocade clothes, his eyes were clear, his eyebrows were slanted, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised with a warm smile.

If there were no majestic cavalry behind him, everyone would have thought he was a son of an aristocratic family who came out to play.

"Zheng Ming pays respects to all the great uncles!"

Zheng Ming got off his horse and cupped his hands.

Zheng Ziming stroked his long beard and laughed.

"I hope you will not live up to the old expectations."

Zheng Ming nodded and said, "This king will protect Dali's foundation."

"Okay! Let's go in." Zheng Ziming gave him a deep look.

Before Zheng Ming arrived in Kyoto, he had already received a letter from Wang Shouming, in which Wang Shouming said a lot, including his views and attitudes towards Zheng Ming.

At this time, although Zheng Ziming saw Zheng Ming for the first time, he already had a lot of impressions of Zheng Ming.

And now that the situation is chaotic, they don't have time to continue to toss, they must push Zheng Ming to the throne as soon as possible.

In the palace hall.

The cabinet, the governor's office, the inspector's office, the clan's office, the six ministries, etc. have already been summoned.

When Zheng Ming stepped into the hall, everyone's eyes could not help but focus on him.

They felt very strange to Zheng Ming, and Zheng Ming felt the same way to them.

Except for Liang Songnian, none of these people had any dealings with Zheng Ming.

"Your Majesty passed away suddenly, and we didn't have time to identify the heir. We and the royal family have decided to let His Majesty's fifth son, Prince Rui, succeed you. Do you have any opinions?" Li Wang Zheng Ziyuan looked at the crowd and asked.

All the courtiers looked at each other in blank dismay, how dare they raise objections at this time.

Let's not talk about what's going on inside the palace, there are shadow guards, imperial guards and cavalry brought by Zheng Ming outside the palace, anyone who dares to object will probably walk out of the palace gate.

"I dare not wait!" Zhang Lingzheng said.

Zheng Ziyuan nodded slightly, and said: "Since there is no objection, then prepare for the enthronement ceremony."

In this way, Zheng Ming's position as the heir was confirmed.

Immediately after Zheng Ming was invited to the stage, all the officials bowed and kowtowed.

Since then.

The cabinet began to write the enthronement edict. The situation was urgent, and everything needed to be done as soon as possible. As long as the new king was announced to the world, Dali's internal affairs should be much more stable.

At the same time, Zheng Qingsong's funeral also needs Zheng Ming, the heir, to preside over it.

After that, Zheng Ming was completely busy.

There is simply too much to do.

First of all, the first thing is the trouble of Bailianzong.

There are still 400,000 troops stationed in Guiyun Province, and it is necessary to arrange for strong masters to support them as soon as possible.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zheng Ming and Zheng Ziming sat together.

"Three uncles, Bailianzong may still need you to go to sit in the town. In addition, this king will invite Master to go with him."

Zheng Ziming nodded, and said: "You look at the arrangement, our old bones can still be used."

Zheng Ming thought for a while and said, "This king will let Chen Ze be the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and then I will ask the three uncles to support him."

At this time, he has just entered the capital and has not yet ascended the throne, so naturally he cannot go to Guiyun Province.

Moreover, Zheng Ming didn't want to start a war with Bailianzong at this time, he hoped to start the war after he stabilized Dali's situation.

But it is estimated that Bailianzong will not give him so much time.

As for making Chen Ze the commander in chief of the armed forces, it was also Zheng Ming's deliberate decision.

Needless to say, Chen Ze's commanding ability is definitely the top existence in Dali.

As for the issue of loyalty, Zheng Ming wasn't too worried. He was the new king, and Chen Ze had no reason to betray him. Besides, even if he had a different heart, Ximen Chuuxue, Zheng Ziming and others were still suppressing him, even if he wanted to betray him.

"Tomorrow we will go to Guiyun Province. You can only rely on yourself in the capital." Zheng Ziming said solemnly.

Although he only had contact with Zheng Ming for a short time, he still recognized Zheng Ming.

In particular, Zheng Ming's composure and confidence far exceeded his expectations.

After sending Zheng Ziming and others away, Zheng Ming recruited the cabinet and the governor's mansion one by one, and arranged a lot of things.

First of all, ensure the supply of food and grass for more than 40 troops in Guiyun Province.

Secondly, the Governor's Mansion was asked to recruit Yuan Hualing back from the grassland.Now is not the time to clean up Ye Su'er. Compared with Ye Su'er, the most important thing is to guard against the surprise attack of the Dajin Dynasty.

After some busy work, the night fell.

Looking at the pile of memorials in front of him, Zheng Ming's head suddenly became dilated.

"Are you going to stay up all night again!"

Recalling the past life, he shook his head vigorously.

"Cao Zhengchun!"

he called out the door.

"The servant is here." Cao Zhengchun walked in immediately.

"Prepare some meals, and then invite my concubine over." Zheng Ming said
Up to now he has not seen Concubine Ming yet.

As for the harem, Zheng Ming thought about it and decided not to go there yet.

After a while, Concubine Ming came.

Seeing Zheng Ming, Concubine Ming looked happy and proud, which dispelled the sadness in her heart a lot.
