Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty: Suppress the mythical martial arts at the beginning!

Chapter 36: Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger! ! !
Zhu Yijun nodded slightly, indicating that he knew, and asked again:

"Have you found the operators of these gambling houses?"

"Still interrogating, but... I can feel that they are not behind the scenes."

"What about Bai Xiaotang's movements?"

"This, my subordinates are incompetent and haven't been found yet."

"However, my subordinates speculate that if they can leave quietly, there must be a secret channel and support in the capital."

When Zhu Yijun heard this, he couldn't help but silently sighed at Bai Xiaotang's high standard.

Unexpectedly, a small charlatan could not only incite unrest.

He can also know the secret passages that even Jin Yiwei doesn't know, and avoid the trap of being rounded up by the capital.

It’s too dangerous and must not be left here!
"Check, go check, dig down three feet to dig them out!"

The next day.

The sky has just dawned, and the capital has returned to its former glory.

The people walked out of their homes and began their work again.

The previous bloody storms did not exist, and the daily operations of the capital were carried out in an orderly manner.

On the way to the court in the morning, Baiguan was riding in the carriage going to court. Looking at the peaceful streets as always, he felt a vague uneasiness in his heart.

Although the streets in the capital are so clean now, they always feel that there is an inexplicable smell of blood on the streets.

Crows were circling in the sky, not knowing why.

Like a nameless god of death, it hangs over the capital.

The officials were inexplicably panicked, like an invisible sharp knife hanging over their heads, with a strong sense of oppression.

Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister of the cabinet, opened the curtains of the carriage and observed the street.

Although the street scene is the same as always, peaceful and uneventful.

But he has confirmed that something big happened in the capital last night.

Because many of the people he usually sees have all disappeared today.

It was as if the world had evaporated, and there was no trace of their work.

How could a good, living person suddenly disappear?

In addition, last night, the exchanges between the house servants.

They said that the signal from the sky was on all night, and some people were running and screaming outside, making them unable to sleep.

Last night it was the top of the Forbidden City, so there was naturally a constant flow of people.

This made Zhang Juzheng even more convinced of this, thinking that the emperor must have taken some action!
The carriage heading to the court is about to arrive at the palace.

Looking at the palace city not far away and the peak of Yingwu Hall, Zhang Juzheng frowned.

It seems like another big event is going to happen in court today!

……

up.

Hundred officials entered the dynasty.

Still kowtowing and saluting as usual, holding the wat tablet, waiting for the ceremony to be held.

But he was frightened by Zhu Yijun's expression today.

In the past, when Zhu Yijun went to court, although he was full of majesty, his expression was gentle.

Just like the wise king recorded in history, he behaved in the style of Yao and Shun.

Even during the "Three Days Case", when he didn't change his face on the spot, he looked gentle and easy to talk to.

However, today, as soon as Zhu Yijun stepped into the main hall, all the officials felt a deep-rooted fear.

At this moment, the emperor's eyes widened with anger, and Long Yan was furious.

This angry aura was like adding dry wood to a raging fire, directly pulling the atmosphere in the court to the extreme.

All the officials were frightened and knelt on the ground trembling. They didn't know why the emperor was so angry.

Zhu Yijun lifted up his dragon robe and sat on the dragon chair resolutely.

As soon as he sat down, he directly mentioned what happened last night without saying anything:

"Since you are so well-informed, you must have known about what happened at the top of the Forbidden City last night, right?"

"You gluttons!"

"Everyone talks about how they serve the country with all their loyalty and commit suicide for the Ming Dynasty!"

"Last night, I was stabbed at the Gate of Supreme Harmony. Where are you?!" "Be honest!"

These words were like a passing typhoon, blowing over all the officials in the audience.

The officials were sweating like rain, and the crowd was in chaos. They quickly explained their whereabouts last night and showed their loyalty.

The shadow of the "Three Days Case" a few days ago has not yet dissipated in the minds of all officials.

At this moment, most of them did not dare to lie to the emperor at all, and they quickly apologized.

"Your Majesty, my crime cannot be forgiven. I have been sleeping soundly at home last night. I really don't know what happened in the capital!"

"Your Majesty, I stayed at home last night, admiring the moon and watching paintings with my family. I never stepped out of the house. I know I am guilty. Please punish me!"

Only a small number of people stood proudly and calmly.

Although his expression was nervous, he looked upright and upright. He held the wat board and said:

"Your Majesty, my loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth!"

"I just heard about the sudden disaster in the palace last night. I will take action as soon as possible!"

"I didn't sleep last night because I was mobilizing the servants in the house to go to the palace to escort the emperor!"

Zhu Yijun was sitting astride the dragon chair just now, looking sulky.

After hearing these ministers' self-reports, their expressions suddenly changed and became the same as before.

Such changes shocked these ministers.

No, is it a trap?

Several ministers who said they were escorting him quickly wanted to change their words and justify themselves.

"Where is Jin Yiwei?"

"Catch all these people who say they are escorts!"

However, it was too late. Zhu Yijun waved his hand, and several Jinyi guards subdued them to the ground from all directions!

The officials had seen such a scene a few days ago, and now they seemed to have been awakened to the fear of the previous days. They all screamed and fell down, not daring to speak out.

The subdued ministers also exclaimed and hurriedly defended themselves:

"Your Majesty, I am truly loyal!"

"I am willing to be investigated. What happened last night is definitely not false!"

After Zhu Yijun heard this, he motioned for them not to talk any more.

"No need to make such nonsense."

"You are all civil servants. How can you protect me if you don't have the strength to tie a chicken?"

"In the case of the assassination last night, I deliberately let a few assassins go and let them escape."

"Guess where they went?"

Several suppressed ministers turned pale when they heard this.

Several people even fainted immediately and fell unconscious.

"These assassins have all taken a detour into the secret passage and gone to your mansion, right?"

"What a master of espionage! You actually know the places that even my imperial guards don't know about!"

"I have found out that you were not in the house last night!"

The other officials were too shocked to say anything.

Especially Xu Jie, who actually controlled the six departments, was surprised at this moment.

He was even more confused and confused.

What's going on?

The emperor gave a hint to the court yesterday, asking the civil servants not to get involved in the evening's affairs.

Xu Jie drank wine with his disciples at home, watched the moon and chrysanthemums, and felt very happy.

I didn’t expect that there would be such a big battle in the capital city?
Could it be that the emperor had already expected that things would develop like this?
With a little fear in his heart, he looked towards the two people in the cabinet.

The two people in the cabinet now looked as bitter as coptis and were sweating profusely.

Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong knew about the assassination on their way to court.

But what they didn't expect was that the assassination was actually premeditated by the emperor.

In the morning, he deliberately pretended to be angry, coerced the officials, disturbed their mood, and then lured the snake out of the hole.

What a sinister trick!
Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. If you make one careless move, you will lose everything!
