Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 9 Retribution
Taichang looked at Xi Li's "suicide note", and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart. This woman is really powerful. In order to fight for favor, almost all the court ladies, talented women, and Shuyi who gave birth to the prince were killed by her. None of them can live long enough to become The day of the concubine.

As a result, no matter whether it is recorded in the history books or now, she has not been able to get her wish and become a queen.

Perhaps, this is retribution!

Next, is Concubine Zheng.

Every cause has its fruit, your retribution is me, Concubine Zheng, since you killed my mother and want to put me to death, then don't blame me for being cruel.

Taichang looked at Wei Zhongxian, who seemed to be respectful, and then said to the door: "British Duke Zhang Weixian."

Wei Zhongxian is ruthless enough, but this guy's current strength is not enough to deal with Concubine Zheng, because the palace guards are still in the hands of Concubine Zheng.

The so-called palace guards are the guards of the imperial palace and the imperial city. Both the imperial palace and the imperial city have walls, and the walls are not usually long. The walls of the imperial palace are more than six miles long, which is longer than the walls of ordinary county towns. The city wall of the imperial city is eighteen miles long, longer than the city walls of ordinary prefectures.

There are guards on these walls, and those who are responsible for guarding the palace and the imperial city are the emperor's pro-army.

During the heyday of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor’s pro-army had 26 guards with nearly 15 horses. These 26 guards are the so-called Shangzhi 26 guards, and the Shangzhi 26 guards also have clear division of responsibilities. For example, Jinyiwei and Banner Guards are dedicated to guarding the emperor. Escorting the pro-army, others such as the Jinwu Guard, Habayashi Guard, Fujunwei, etc. are guarding the pro-army who are responsible for guarding the palace and the imperial city.

However, since the change of Tumubao, Shangzhi 26 Guards have been in chaos. Because Ming Yingzong's imperial conquest, more than [-] pro-armies were almost wiped out, so Jinyiwei's Nanbei Town Fusi and [-] thousand households retained the original The establishment of other guards basically exists in name only.

Later, Emperor Jiajing simply organized all the remaining pro-army into Tengxiang Left Guard, Tengxiang Right Guard, Wuxiang Left Guard and Wuxiang Right Guard, commanded by the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, who was responsible for guarding the palace and the imperial city. As for the other guards of the 26th Guards, except for the Jinyi Guards who retained their original establishment, the others were all mixed into the Beijing Camp, managed by the Five Army Governor's Mansion, and commanded by the Ministry of War.

In other words, at this moment, Pang Bao, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, has four full guards with more than 2 horses, while Wei Zhongxian has less than 1000 Dongchang Fanzi under Wei Zhongxian, more than 2 to more than [-]. It cannot be done.

This is the reason why Concubine Zheng dared to go crazy. Originally, the palace guards and the East Factory were under her control. Even the Fusi of Jinyiwei Nanbei Town and all the fourteen thousand households combined could not beat her. She was afraid of a fart. !

Of course, the palace guards in her hands are not invincible. The Beijing camp responsible for guarding the capital is much more than the palace guards, and the British Duke Zhang Weixian is the commander of the Beijing camp.

The British public Zhang Weixian has been worrying during this time.

The emperor is about to die, but the crown prince is still in the hands of Xi Li, the harem is still ruled by Concubine Zheng, the Central Qi Chuzhe Party and the Donglin Party are about to fight again, the Ming Dynasty is in turmoil, but he can't do anything!
It’s not that he doesn’t want to, it’s that he can’t, because he has to hide his strength and bide his time. The reason why the British Dukes have been able to stand for more than two hundred years is because of this. Yes, the weeds on the grave are waist deep.

Alas, if the emperor dies, I don't know what will happen to the current situation.

He was sighing and sighing, but the eunuch who delivered the decree in the palace suddenly ran past and hurriedly told him that the emperor ordered him to enter the palace to have an audience!

Isn't the emperor dying?

He hurried to the imperial study room to have a look, his eyeballs almost fell to the ground.

The emperor actually sat there perfectly fine, nothing happened at all!
Taichang didn't bother him, and directly ordered Wang An to hand over Cui Wensheng's confession and Xili's "suicide note" to him.

Zhang Weixian took a look and was stunned. Concubine Zheng actually joined forces with the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang parties to murder the emperor!

No wonder the emperor suddenly became ill. You must know that the emperor was in good health when he was the crown prince. He was not sick or in pain. It is really strange that he was dying of illness less than a month after he ascended the throne.

It turned out that it was Concubine Zheng who did it!
He was stunned for a while, and then he said solemnly: "Your Majesty, what do you want me to do?"

Taichang didn't answer but asked instead: "How many troops are available in the Beijing Camp?"

Zhang Weixian thought for a while, and then said cautiously: "There are roughly [-] troops in the Beijing camp."

Hearing this, Taichang said without hesitation: "Immediately mobilize 4 troops to surround Tengxiang Left Guard, Tengxiang Right Guard, Wuxiang Left Guard and Wuxiang Right Guard's station. The palace is surrounded by me."

Ah!
Zhang Weixian said with some scruples: "Your Majesty, according to the law, you need to order from the Ministry of War to mobilize more than [-] troops!"

I am Wang Fa, and I don't care about the military orders!
Taichang resolutely said: "In this critical period, you don't have to worry about it so much, and quickly use the imperial decree to mobilize people."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang An stuffed the imperial decree he had prepared into Zhang Weixian's hands.

Well, as long as there is an imperial decree.

Zhang Weixian immediately withdrew the imperial decree respectfully.

Soon, the whole capital exploded.

The soldiers and horses of Wucheng Bingma Division went to the vicinity of the imperial city and surrounded the garrison of Tengxiang Left Guard, Tengxiang Right Guard, Wuxiang Left Guard and Wuxiang Right Guard. trend.

Immediately afterwards, the Duke of England rushed into the imperial city with 2 horses and surrounded the imperial palace with an imperial decree!

On the walls of the imperial city and the imperial palace, the upper and lower capital camps and the Imperial Army lined up to fight. The atmosphere was extremely tense, and a big battle seemed to be about to break out.

At this time, there was no disturbance in the imperial study room, until the news of the siege of the imperial palace came, Taichang waved his hand and said indifferently: "Luo Yangxing, take your people to protect Cao Huachun and surround the Yumajian yamen to announce the decree. "

Cao Huachun can be said to be the most powerful among the eunuchs in charge under him, so he asked Cao Huachun to replace Pang Bao as the imperial horse supervisor.

Luo Yang and Cao Huachun were already ready. When the emperor gave an order, they clapped their hands together and said "obey the order", and then retreated respectfully.

Immediately afterwards, Taichang asked calmly: "Wei Aiqing, how many days do you think people can live without eating or drinking?"

Ah!
Wei Zhongxian is inexplicable, what does this mean?
He froze for a moment, then said carefully: "It should only last for three or four days."

Taichang continued to ask: "Is Jingyang Palace still empty?"

That's what it meant.

Wei Zhongxian couldn't help showing a look of surprise, he subconsciously nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Taichang suddenly said sadly again: "The poor mother was blinded by crying and locked up in Jingyang Palace with no one to take care of her. How miserable it is!"

Uh, that means, blind your eyes!
It seems that the emperor already hated Concubine Zheng to the bone, Wei Zhongxian quickly echoed: "The concubine did go too far back then."

More than excessive!

Taichang said coldly: "The Zheng family intends to usurp the throne, so it's not too much for me to put him in the cold palace?"

it is as expected!
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "The emperor is wise."

Taichang nodded slightly, and then said fiercely: "Go, put Zheng Guifei into the cold palace, the 24 prisons in the inner palace, and don't let anyone involved in this matter go!"

Don't let any one go?

Wei Zhongxian raised his right hand again, and cut down carefully: "Your Majesty, what do you mean, other people..."

Do I still need to teach you this?

Taichang said coldly: "Is it really necessary to kill each of them by a thousand knives? I don't want the scene to be too bloody."

Well, hang them all!
That night, the palace also exploded.

Wei Zhongxian got the emperor's will, he was really like a mad dog, he caught whoever he caught, and all the eunuchs with the palm prints of the 24 eunuchs in the inner palace who had trouble with him, regardless of whether they participated in the "rebellion" or not, were all caught by him Hanged alive.

After a cleansing, almost all the important yamen of the 24 prisons in the inner palace were controlled by the former eunuch in charge of Ciqing Palace, and the whole palace changed instantly.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian rushed into the Compassionate Palace where Concubine Zheng lived with hundreds of Dongchang fans.

Concubine Zheng Gui didn't know that her death was imminent, she pointed at Wei Zhongxian's nose and cursed angrily: "Li Jinzhong, you want to rebel, who let you in, you bastard who wants to be proud of the owner!"

Hmph, sharp teeth, sharp mouth, is it useful?

Wei Zhongxian said coldly: "Your Majesty, Cui Wensheng and Li Xuan have both recruited. You intend to murder the emperor and usurp the throne. This servant is obliged by the emperor to ask you to go to Jingyang Palace to reflect."

Jingyang Palace!
Concubine Zheng was startled and said angrily: "What is murdering the emperor, what is trying to usurp the throne, he just wants to take this opportunity to take revenge, he is disrespectful and outrageous!"

You are a fart elder!
Wei Zhongxian didn't bother to talk anymore, so he just waved his hand and said, "Take it."

Fu Yingxing immediately rushed up with several cronies and pressed Concubine Zheng to the ground with her hands cut behind her back.

You guys are turned upside down!

Concubine Zheng screamed angrily: "You dog slaves, what do you want?"

Hmph, what are you doing.

Wei Zhongxian gave a wink, and Fu Yingxing immediately pointed out his two fingers viciously.

"what!"

Concubine Zheng immediately lost her eyes and howled miserably.

Wei Zhongxian waved his hand like a normal person, and led the crowd to drag Concubine Zheng towards Jingyang Palace.

Concubine Zheng Gui was gouged out of her eyes and sent to the cold palace. The cleaning of the palace finally came to an end.

At this time, Taichang walked slowly towards the harem with a group of trusted eunuchs.

He silently came outside Jingyang Palace, quietly listening to Zheng Guifei's mournful howl, he couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart.

The law of heaven is reincarnated, and the retribution is not good, Concubine Zheng, you have today too!
He stood there and listened quietly for a while, realizing that he only felt hatred in his heart, and then he walked to the dog hole beside him, and waved his hands sadly.

Soon, a team of eunuchs set up in front of the dog cave with paper money, joss sticks and tablets.

The candles were lit, and the tablet, incense, burner and money paper were placed. It was time to pay homage to my poor mother.

Taichang knelt down slowly, burned three sticks of incense with his own hands, lit another handful of money paper, and then put his noble head on the ground, knocking heavily on the ground.

"Mother, the child is unfilial, and you have suffered so much and passed away miserably, the child is unfilial! The chief culprit, Mrs. Zheng, I will let her die in mourning, and King Fu, I will not spare him either, you may rest in peace!"

He silently kowtowed his head nine times, then stood up and said solemnly: "Decree, morning court tomorrow as usual, officials in Beijing are not allowed to be absent without reason."
