005. Seize power

After a few dozen minutes, Empress Dowager Yang Shufei, Su Liuyi, and others arrived one after another.

Seeing the scattered corpses in Zhao Dongting's bedroom, everyone's faces changed a little.

Su Liuyi was in charge of the front office of the palace and the guards. Looking at the corpses of the guards on the ground, he thought someone was assassinating. He pretended to be frightened and bowed to Zhao Dongting, "Master, is there any thief assassination?"

"yes!"

Amid the doubts of the people in the room, Zhao Dongting sneered coldly, "But the ones who assassinated me are these my guards!"

When Su Liuyi heard this, he was really frightened and hurriedly knelt down on the ground, "I am not in good supervision and I deserve to die. Please ask the Empress Dowager to give me the crime."

He was a smart man and immediately admitted his mistakes.

Zhang Shijie, deputy envoy of Privy Councillor, said: "Even the guards' personal army have become rebels. Where is the safety of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor?"

Zhang Shijie was also a celebrity in the late Southern Song Dynasty and held a high position, but this person liked to flatter.

Su Liuyi was afraid that he would hate him to death, but he was not easy to argue at this time. He just kowtowed, "I will die!"

Then, several generals knelt down.

These generals are undoubtedly commanders of the Palace Front Office or the guards' personal army.

Concubine Yang's face was calm and she just asked, "Zhier, what's going on?"

Zhao Dongting slowly told the story in front of all the ministers, including two little eunuchs who wanted to poison him with roasted chicken.

After saying that, he glanced at everyone and said, "I wonder who is Mr. Yang Wanli, the deputy chief of the guards and infantry,?"

Among the kneeling generals, a stout man with dark face raised his head, "I will be here!"

He didn't look very flustered on his face.

Zhao Dongting was secretly surprised by the calmness of the man, and then said, "Yang Wanli, don't you want to explain something to me?"

Everyone present noticed some signs and looked at Yang Wanli one after another.

Yang Wanli lowered his head and his voice was muffled, "I don't understand what the emperor means, so please make it clear."

"Oh!"

Zhao Dongting looked at Doctor An and the little eunuch, "Doctor An, and you, now Lord Yang says he doesn't know what you two want to say?"

The little eunuch had already looked as if he was dead and could not speak at this time.

Doctor An sighed and said, "Mr. Yang, things have come to this point, so let's confess! You asked me to do things in the sages and medicines, and I have reported to the sages."

"You slander!"

Yang Wanli suddenly raised his head, staring at him like a copper bell, "I have no grudges and you, why do you harm me?"

Zhao Dongting was not in a hurry. He walked to the eunuch, patted his shoulder, and asked, "Did Yang Wanli ask you to poison me in the roast chicken?"

The little eunuch's psychological defense line had long collapsed, and he just nodded, "Yes!"

With two testimony, everyone could naturally see that Yang Wanli must have nothing to do with this matter.

Su Liuyi was furious in an instant and suddenly stood up and kicked Yang Wanli to the ground, "You unfaithful and unfilial thief, I will kill you now!"

Although his voice was sharp, his appearance was not very scary.

Most of the senior officials in charge of the army in the Southern Song Dynasty were civil officials, and Su Liuyi was one of them. He wore two long-winged official hats on his head, and he looked more like an old master.

"slow!"

Zhao Dongting naturally would not let Su Liu Yi kill Yang Wanli.

Maybe there are big fish behind. If Yang Wanli dies, how can he catch the big fish behind?

He stopped Su Liuyi and shouted sternly: "Yang Wanli, I ask you, what other party do you have?"

At this moment, a general kneeling on the ground suddenly spoke.

He is tall and handsome, and he is a rare handsome man.

"Yang Wanli, with Doctor An and this eunuch testifying, do you still want to deny it? If you confess, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor will be considering your past protection and follow the emperor to this end, which is also a contribution, and may even spare your family. If you resist stubbornly, it will definitely be the end of the nine tribes!"

Yang Wanli's face finally changed, and it was sunny and sunny.

Then he turned his head and looked at the general who had just spoken, and slowly said, "The general has no accomplices."

After saying that, he jumped up like a cheetah, picked up a goose feather knife on the ground, and wiped his neck directly.

Those present did not expect that he would commit suicide, and no one had time to stop him.

Even Zhao Dongting was stunned.

It was not until Yang Wanli's body fell to the ground and the armor hit the ground and made a crisp sound that Zhao Dongting came to his senses and cursed in his heart, "Fuck!"

I just heard the handsome general talking, but I didn't think there was anything wrong. Now I think it's a bit strange.

He was exposing Yang Wanli to confess, but now it seems that his real intention is to warn Yang Wanli.

What he meant was that if Yang Wanli dared to confess the person behind the scenes, would he kill his whole family?

Zhao Dongting always felt strange when he saw this handsome general.

But now Yang Wanli is dead, so it is obviously useless to say anything. I suddenly asked him, but I was afraid that he would be a warning to the enemy.

But it is also a delusion to just end things like this.

Zhao Dongting sneered in his heart and said, "Who are there any generals of the Palace Front Office and the guards' personal army?"

When several people heard this, their eyes showed a slight joy. Everyone could see that the little emperor was going to attack these imperial guards.

Zhao Dongting felt a little sad when he saw this scene. The Southern Song courts had fallen to this point, and they still had the heart to fight each other.

Just thinking about it carefully, factional disputes in the court are inevitable.

Several generals kneeling on the ground spoke one after another.

"The deputy director of the official affairs of the Department of the Palace in front of the Chen Dynasty Dongheli!"

"The last general, Zhang Xi, the chief minister of the front hall, is here!"

"I am the official guard of Ma Jun, Jiang Cunzhong!"

"Lu Chuanyao, deputy chief of the guards of the Ma Army, last!"

"Yang Yidong, the official affairs of the guards and infantry!"

It can be seen that the supervisors who are in charge of the official position are all civil officials, while military generals are mostly deputy officers.

Those who are below the Duyuhou, such as the generals and generals, are not qualified to come in to meet Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting paid special attention to the handsome general, Yang Yidong, the official in the guards and infantry, who was exactly Yang Wanli's boss.

Now the front office of the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty and the guards' personal army are both led by Su Liuyi. The commander of the guards' infantry officer "the commander of the guards' personal army" is naturally a false statement. As an official in the infantry, Yang Yidong can be said to be a figure in the guards' personal army. His status among the imperial guards is second only to Su Liuyi and Dongheli. His identity and what he said to the dead ghost Yang Wanli just now made Zhao Dongting even more suspicious that he was the main messenger behind Yang Wanli.

Yang Wanli is just a deputy, can he really bribe the guard next to the emperor?

Unless this Yang Yidong is a person who eats a dry meal.

But it seems that Yang Yidong doesn't look like a fool.

Zhao Dongting thought to himself, "Although there is no evidence, I would rather kill the wrong one than let it go. Emperor I have not been satisfied with it yet. You must not leave anyone around you who threatens your life. Even if you cannot kill this Yang Yidong, you must dismiss him!"

Immediately, he said, "There are so many traitors in my imperial guards. Are you guilty?"

Who dares to say that it is not in this case?

Even Su Liuyi nodded obediently, and the crowd whispered: "Yes..."

"This is how it goes!"

Zhao Dongting took this opportunity to use his sword, "The imperial guard system is huge, Lord Su is in charge of the Palace Front Office and the personal guards. He works hard all day long, and it is inevitable that he will be unable to get what he can..."

Speaking of this, several ministers' eyes lit up.

The little emperor obviously wanted to cut off Su Liuyi's power. If Su Liuyi's power was cut off, wouldn't someone take advantage of it?

Unexpectedly, Zhao Dongting then said: "From now on, I will be led by my personal army. What do you think?"

Everyone was stunned.

An eleven-year-old guy wants to command troops? Isn’t this a joke?

Everyone looked at the Queen Mother at the moment.

Concubine Yang patted Zhao Dongting's head gently and said, "Yes, you are still young, how can you know how to command troops?"

Several ministers who wanted to take over the guards' personal army hurriedly spoke, "Please think twice."

Zhao Dongting had already thought of saying something in his heart, and his eyes swept across the faces of several ministers who had just spoken, and then said to Concubine Yang Shu: "Mother, our Song Dynasty has fallen to this point. The emperor should take it as his responsibility to restore the rivers and mountains. Although he is still young, the emperor feels that he should start tempering himself from now on, otherwise how can he lead the troops in the future? How to expel the Yuan thieves? How to restore the ancestors' rivers and mountains?"

His words were so passionate and loud.

Everyone present was stunned.

Is this still the little emperor who used to only know how to eat, drink, play and have fun?

Why did a cold wind seem to make him enlightened?

Thinking back to Zhao Dongting's actions that just dealt with Yang Wanli and now he had to take charge of the guards' personal army, it was perfectly fine. Some people looked at Zhao Dongting with a look of something wrong. This really didn't look like the scheming that an eleven-year-old child could have.

Concubine Yang opened her red lips slightly, and she didn't know what to say.

Those ministers who were determined to take over the personal guards' army had just been warned by Zhao Dongting's eyes, and they did not dare to say more at this time.
