Chapter 90

Chen Jinsong was taken down by the eunuchs in the palace and locked in an inner prison in the northernmost part of the palace.

This place was originally the place where the eunuchs and maids who made mistakes were detained, and after entering here, it was difficult to get out again, and almost no one returned alive.

Chen Jinsong has been in the palace for many years, so he naturally knows what kind of ghostly place this is.

This made him feel fearful, sad, and unwilling.

I have served the officials diligently for many years, even if I have no credit, I have hard work, right?Going to jail just because of one mistake?

Isn't the royal family too ruthless?
But right now is not the time for him to despair, he will die when he dies, but behind him there is a family of hundreds of people, and a century-old "Jingshitang".

If today's events were played by the political opponents, although the nine clans would not be punished, but if the whole family was sentenced to exile in Lingnan, it would be an absolute disaster for "Jingshitang".

So he had to report a letter to his family in advance to let them prepare.

"Physician Chen, go in, stay in front of the time, don't do anything wrong, it will make everyone look bad."

A young eunuch was also arrogant at this time, talking to a doctor in the Imperial Hospital in a strange way.

Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, Chen Jinsong grabbed the little eunuch's hand.

Just as the little eunuch was about to have a seizure, he suddenly felt something cold in his palm, which made him close his mouth reflexively, without yelling.

"Father-in-law, this is a piece of beautiful jade that I carry with me. I bought it for 1000 taels of silver and gave it to my father-in-law. I just ask my father-in-law to help me talk to Chen Kan in the imperial hospital, saying that I was sent to prison for a wrong diagnosis and treatment. Alright, nothing else to say."

The little eunuch squeezed the beautiful jade in the palm of his hand, it felt extremely smooth, thinking that it really is a good piece of jade.

"Is it really just such a sentence?"

"In this regard, Mr. Chen would like to thank his father-in-law. If Mr. Chen ever goes out one day, he will have a generous gift for him."

The little eunuch looked around and saw that there was no one around, then nodded his head: "Sure, the Sa family will bring it for you, and the rest is up to Doctor Chen to ask for blessings."

After saying this, the little eunuch left quickly.

Chen Jinsong looked at the dark prison with no windows, only a lamp, and could smell the musty smell, so he punched the wall hard.

Chen Kan, who was anxiously waiting in the imperial hospital, was also Chen Jinsong's companion. When he got the news that his master had been imprisoned, he was stunned for a moment.

When he came back to his senses, he ran towards Donghua Gate as fast as he could, and he wanted to tell his family members the astonishing news.

Because he knew that Uncle Chen's imprisonment might be just the beginning, not the end, no matter how small the matter of the royal family was, it was still a big deal.

It was Zhou Jingyi, the commander of the Imperial City Department, who passed by Chen Kan in the palace.

This is a burly man in his 40s, with the temperament of a martial artist at first glance. His other identity is Empress Yang's nephew, or his own nephew.

Empress Yang is the youngest daughter in the family, and there are many elder brothers and sisters above her. Zhou Jingyi is the son of her elder sister.

Therefore, the age difference between Empress Yang and this big nephew Zhou Jingyi is not too big. It is said that they are nephews, similar to siblings.

In the military system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Forbidden Army was the main armed force to defend the capital. The four armies of the Japanese Army, the Tianwu Army, the Dragon Guard Army, and the God Guard Army were stationed in the four directions of the southeast, west, and east of Bianliang City to defend the capital.

The command organization is further divided into the Dianqian Division, the Guard Horse Army Division, and the Guard Infantry Division, which are also called the Sanya.

There are wars on the border, and the most elite forbidden army of the empire will also go to the battlefield. Together with the frontier army, they will form the main field attack force to defend the country.

Therefore, the number of forbidden troops is also the largest, adding up to 50.

But the guarding work in the palace is the responsibility of the Imperial City Division.At the same time, the Imperial City Division was also the secret service agency of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and its role was similar to that of the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty.

That is to say, outside the imperial palace, the forbidden army is in charge; inside the imperial palace, the imperial city department is in charge.

Therefore, the Imperial City Division also has an army of 5000 people, which is far more elite than the Forbidden Army. After all, this "Imperial City Division Army" is to protect the officials closely, and its loyalty and force value are the highest in the Great Zhou Dynasty. .

The real "Royal Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty" swore allegiance to the royal family to the death.

The reason why Empress Yang has the ability to interfere in the government is not to let Prime Minister Cui's family dominate, nor to give him a chance to replace him.

That is Empress Yang firmly grasping the military power. As long as there is military power, the imperial power will not decline, and there will be no change of dynasty.

Don’t look at Prime Minister Cui calling the wind and talking in the court, but he has no military power. If the officials really want to move him, it is a matter of one sentence. Don’t be afraid of him doing something like "giving nine tins, fake yellow axes, and praise for not being famous" .

Whether it is the commander of the Imperial City Division, or the commander or deputy commander of the Forbidden Army, they are basically appointed by Empress Yang personally.

Empress Yang also firmly controlled the general power in her own hands through the direct appointment of upper-level military officers.

The administrative power can be handed over to Prime Minister Cui. If the military power is handed over again, I am afraid that there will be a "Chenqiao mutiny" one day.

Zhou Jingyi came to the side hall of Funing Hall, Empress Yang was already waiting for him.

"Meet my aunt."

This is in private, Zhou Jingyi would naturally call him more affectionate, his IQ is not high, but his EQ is enough.

But today Queen Yang was obviously in a bad mood, she just nodded and didn't smile at him as usual.

"Jingyi, I have called you here to do something right away. From today on, people entering and exiting the palace must be strictly checked, and servants and maids without badges are not allowed to come and go freely.

In addition, you Imperial City Secretary secretly check how many people in this palace have connections with the outside of the palace, find out the most rampant ones, and kill them as an example, don't be soft-hearted, I will support you if something happens.

If the palace is not cleaned up, it will become more and more outrageous. Every move of the officials and I is under the surveillance of outsiders. How can the officials feel at ease?How can I feel at ease? "

When Zhou Jingyi heard this, he quickly knelt down: "Go back to your mother, this matter is careless, I will definitely live up to my mother's entrustment, and I will definitely restore the peace in the palace."

Queen Yang nodded:

"It's good if you have this attitude. You didn't do a good enough job before, and you weren't strict enough. In addition, you must step up surveillance on Prime Minister Cui and Duke Cheng. Every move is in your hands.

In the past few years, as the health of the official family has deteriorated day by day, Prime Minister Cui and Cheng Guogong seem to be ready to move. Last night, the official family fell ill, and they came here in the middle of the night after getting the news. I am afraid that it is a weasel giving a New Year greeting to the chicken. "

Zhou Jingyi was a little puzzled: "Auntie, I understand that Cheng Guogong will not deal with it. Isn't Prime Minister Cui in the same boat as us?"

Empress Yang chuckled: "A boat? Humph! It's all about using each other."
