In Fengxian Hall, the tablets of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty were high above, and the portraits looked particularly gloomy under the swaying candlelight. The candlelight even exploded strangely twice, and then it started to jump again.

Zhu Yijun, who was alone here, pursed his lips tightly. When Wang Fulin came to persuade him, the anger he had slightly calmed down. After kneeling for an entire hour and a half, coupled with the gloomy environment and various illusions, his random thoughts became more and more powerful, and now his resentment was about to overflow his chest. He became the crown prince when he became sensible, and then ascended the throne as an emperor when he was young. Even if he could not really do whatever he wanted, the mentality of being a emperor was born. Now, in order to eliminate Feng Bao, his mother treated him like this. He had a deep humiliation in his heart.

However, there was no one outside Fengxian Palace. Although he now has the title of emperor, he could not exercise his power! What's more, after today, he might be covered up by his mother and Feng Bao. Don't listen to Wang Fulin saying that Zhang Juzheng had pleaded for him in the Ganqing Palace before. At the critical moment, how many times did Zhang Juzheng really stand on his side?

Because he had been kneeling for a long time, despite the thick padding under his knees, Zhu Yijun still felt the numbness and pain that was like a needle prick and penetrated his bones. For a moment, he remembered the scene of Feng Bao or someone else's complaint when he was criticized by Empress Dowager Li. This resentment and pain were combined together, and finally made him feel a little crazy. He stood up with force on the ground, turned around and staggered to the entrance of the hall. Seeing several eunuchs guarding here looked at him in shock. He didn't look at them at first, but walked straight out.

Seeing that the situation was not good, several eunuchs rushed forward to stop them, but did not want to hear a sentence that made them cold from beginning to end: "If you dare to stop me, when I take over power in the future, will you not be able to kill a few slaves?"

However, this scared most people, but she couldn't scare the confidant whom Empress Dowager Li put here. One of the tall and strong eunuchs stepped forward and bowed: "The emperor is the supreme, so naturally the servants dare not offend him. But even the emperor must keep filial piety. The old lady Cisheng is the queen mother. The queen mother punished him. Could it be that the emperor wanted to disobey filial piety?"

Zhu Yijun had long known that it was impossible to make everyone obey him so lightly. He took a deep breath and shouted in a deep voice: "I am the emperor who was ordered by heaven. Now Feng Bao deceived his mother, and those who obey others will prosper, and those who defy others will perish. When you entered the palace, you all had the same identity, but now you are all pressed on him. Are you really willing to do so? If you eliminate the rebellion from me, you will choose all the seats for the seals in the twenty-four yamen! If you dare to stop me, I will kill his nine clans in the future!"

At this moment, most people even forgot to take a breath, instead of holding their breath, as if everyone was weighing the pros and cons. Although the majesty of imperial power has always been on the top of their heads, it has to be said that Feng Bao's authority has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people over the years. Therefore, even though the rewards Zhu Yijun made was untouchable, there were only half of the people who quietly protected the emperor. Of course, among the remaining people, there were only a few people who dared to stand in front of the emperor, and the rest ran to report the news, and even more bold people shouted loudly.

"Someone is trying to rebel!"

This voice was really lethal. Even though Zhu Yijun had already burned his boat, he was shocked at this moment. What made him even more furious was that many people who did not dare to block the road or follow him were also shouting, saying that someone was going to force him to rebel. Now, the eunuchs who had originally planned to follow Zhu Yijun "anyway", were in a dilemma. Finally, some people realized that retreating at this moment would be a death, and immediately came behind Zhu Yijun and reminded: "Your Majesty, when this time there is no other way, Feng Bao is in Cining Palace now..."

"Call them all to me, kill the treacherous Feng Bao, I will be rewarded!"

Fengxian Palace is west of Renshou Palace. Going westward, there are the three inner halls of the inner court on the central axis, the Ganqing Palace, Jiaotai Palace, Kunning Palace, and the westward is Cining Palace. To the southeast of Fengxian Palace is Ciqing Palace, which is the residence of Empress Dowager Chen. I have borrowed the power of Empress Dowager Chen once, but the result is not very ideal. In addition, Zhu Yijun knew that Empress Dowager Chen seemed to have bumped into her before and was in poor health. Now he is embarrassed to see this legitimate mother, and now he is determined to do it alone. This time, he really made up his mind to go all out, so after he left Fengxian Palace, he summoned people along the way.

However, Zhu Yijun's calculations were very much done, but he missed a little. Now that the four palace cities were already under a thousand taels, the palace maids who were punished to lift the bells might have to start singing the world peace. However, there were not a few eunuchs, a creature that was as common as the palace maids in the past, who were like palace maids, left. Because at this moment, unless the Silijian boss who was on duty at night in the palace and the managers of each palace, most people would return to the twenty-four yamen in the outer imperial city and return to the private houses with straight rooms by the river. In short, this means that only two or three brave eunuchs in the palace city were left with puppies and cats, but Zhu Yijun's actions quickly spread out for a while.

When Empress Dowager Li from Cining Palace learned such a message in shock and anger, Shen Shixing, the old master who stayed in the cabinet, also learned about this. It was originally the one who was on duty today. However, Zhang Siwei was the leader of the palace. Although there was no word in the palace, he was still polite when he sent Zhang Siwei out of the palace. However, it was impossible for such a large number of assistants who had been kneeling for most of the day to continue to stay in the cabinet in the palace. According to the day, Ma Ziqiang should be on duty, but Ma Ziqiang thought that he and Zhang Siwei were in-laws, so he simply avoided suspicion. Therefore, Shen Shixing, who was the latest and most experienced, became the night attendant tonight.

Now, Master Shen had to face an unprecedented problem. Zhang Siwei and support the emperor to kill Feng Bao. After the little emperor had already encountered a tough nail, he actually headed straight to Cining Palace! Now he is facing this situation that is absolutely against filial piety alone. What should he do?

Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue, and Yu Youding were both Jinshi in the 41st year of Jiajing. They ranked first, second and Tanhua respectively. Although the prospects of the top three in the first and third places have always been more guaranteed than those of the second and third places, it is still rare for them to move forward in the officialdom so quickly and so cruelly. If Wang Xijue hadn't had to draw a clear line with Zhang Juzheng and then leave, he might have hope of entering the cabinet. In contrast, the former top scholar Shen Shixing and Zhang Juzheng have always maintained a decent personal relationship, and at this moment they only felt very entangled.

If he followed the political stance of loyalty to the emperor, even if it was politically speculative, he should immediately send out news, echoing the little emperor's actions to fight against traitors. However, he did not participate in Zhang Siwei's Fuque during the day. This idea of ​​seeking profit and avoiding harm shows that not only him, but even Ma Ziqiang cursed his mother after learning the news instead of running to support him immediately. In his opinion, in terms of filial piety, the little emperor's attitude of being single-minded with the Holy Mother is completely wrong. It is important to know that even if the empress dowager in the state has never had the precedent of abolishing the emperor, it does not mean that he would not do this if he was forced to do it!

What's more, Empress Dowager Li is not just Zhu Yijun, but also Lu Wang Zhu Yili!

Shen Shixing paced back and forth in the straight room for a while, and finally made a decision. If it were Wang Xijue, he might have been burning his boats, and at least decided to help. However, Master Shen called a guardian from the Central Secretariat to come in and stared at the other party's face for a while. After he was so angry that he said in a very slow tone: "Tell the imperial edict and imperial edict room that no one in my cabinet is allowed to go anywhere tonight. If someone in the inner palace summons him, he will not be allowed to respond unless he is covered with the empress dowager or the emperor's imperial treasure. He will walk in the palace at night, and the ministers are taboo, so that they can remember them all!"

After so many years of founding the Ming Dynasty, the chaos has caused the palace city to be affected by only once. It was the time when Emperor Yongle Zhu Di rebelled. And it was the palace in Nanjing. After the capital of Beijing, small fuss like the assassination of the emperor happened occasionally, but this was the first time today. In Shen Shixing's mind, instead of following the rashly, it would be better to be a good minister, so as to avoid the final victory of the future. If you think you are not a pure minister, you will be unlucky at that time!

Shen Shixing's order poured a basin of cold water on the heads of a man who was ready to move. At this time, the gambling mentality of low-ranking officials was very strong. Such an opportunity that was likely to soar to the sky was pressed down by someone, so there would naturally be complaints. However, Shen Shixing followed the instructions and told the person to send a few secretly to connect, which forced the old man to submit and suddenly became disgusted.

"If anyone dares to do illegal business in the chaos, I will expose his face and make him famous even if I don't do this official position in the future, unless you kill me first!"

Shen Shixing held down the cabinet. The Wenhua Hall opposite the cabinet and a series of adjacent buildings nearby seemed particularly quiet amid the shouts and noises of killing not far away. Shen Shixing was anxiously waiting for the result, knowing that no matter what in the end, people would definitely criticize him for his timidity in the future, saying that he was not moving to defend himself, but only he himself knew that if only the eunuchs were involved, then if the two palaces could reconcile again in the future, just kill a few eunuchs, but if the cabinet and civil servants were involved, they would really involve countless people, and then he would be criticized by others.

Should I be scolded by others to protect myself, or should I be scolded and flattered? He would rather the former than tolerate the latter!

I don’t know how long I had been waiting, but Shen Shixing suddenly heard a movement outside. When he turned around and looked, a Zhongshu Si had already stumbled in and shouted in a trembling voice: “Gei Master, the emperor has his life, he said yes… Please go to Cining Palace.”

Shen Shixing's expression changed drastically, and then he asked fiercely: "Who is here? Have you ever seen it? Is there a emperor's handwriting?"

The Secretariat of the Secretariat always saw Shen Shixing being kind and had no airs. At this time, he was almost shocked by the fierce expression. He took a step back before he stammeringly said: "There is the official... the official has never seen him. No... there is no hand order."

"I am not a central official who often comes to the cabinet to pass messages, nor does it mean that even if it is a real saint, I dare not accept the edict, let alone if it is a saint, I don't know if it is a saint. You go and reply to the person who comes, Cining Palace is the residence of the Virgin. Not to mention late at night, even during the day, foreign ministers should not break freely. I am sorry that I dare not accept the edict!"

When the eunuch who had been in vain went back hurriedly and planned to convey Shen Shixing's reply, he had not yet arrived at the Yiping Gate in front of Cining Palace, and found that the other side was not the familiar faces he had before. He suddenly realized that the young emperor who had been recruiting people along the way and called the palace gate to Cining Palace to eliminate rebellion along the way seemed to have been suppressed. He was originally full of resentment and planned to sue Shen Shixing in a dark manner, but now he lost his temper and hurriedly ran away along the shadows.

Fortunately, at this time, the people in front of Yiping's gate of Cining Palace were all focused on defense, and they didn't have time to clean up some of the people who might be scattered in the palace. They really told this guy who saw the opportunity to run away!

The little one can escape, but the big one cannot lose the chain at the end of the battle.

Before going to cry to Empress Dowager Li, Feng Bao had already ordered his confidants to take advantage of his advantage as the supervisor of the seal and arrange some personnel in the palace city in advance. However, he never expected that Zhu Yijun would come so quickly and with such a momentum. He did not expect that several palace gates along the way would open the palace gate and let people in after hearing the shouts of the little emperor. Many people joined the team that echoed the little emperor to fight traitors.

The civil servants were able to bet on the great fortune by Shen Shixing, but the eunuchs were different. In order to enter the palace, they had even been the most terrifying knife and became Xing Yu. Now they are afraid of gambling with their heads?

Even though there was not even a kitchen knife in the palace, there were still simple weapons such as scissors and benches. The battle in front of Yiping Gate of Cining Palace was really terrifying. In the end, Feng Bao, who was still wearing a circle of white cotton cloth around his head and was still weak, heard that the situation was not good, and Empress Dowager Li ordered all the people in Cining Palace to go out and face the little emperor. He simply made up his mind and followed Empress Dowager Li to come out without saying anything. He also stood up and showed the facts and reasoned to Zhu Yijun with heartbroken. His thoughts of painstaking advice made the little emperor angry and smoked. The two sides suddenly had a fierce conflict.

This is different from the battle of real swords and spears on the battlefield. In this battle, one side was a mob that was temporarily gathered, and the weapons were just benches and scissors. Although the other side was prepared, there were no weapons at all. In addition, they directly opposed the emperor, so their morale would be worse. If it weren't for Empress Dowager Li's escort formation, they would be really defeated by a few strokes.

Even though she finally relied on Empress Dowager Li's personal supervision and made a harsh statement and stabilized her position, Feng Bao was dissatisfied with Empress Dowager Li, who had to come out to take charge in order to protect her, and was hit by a bench twice on her arm, and then she was flew with scissors. Originally, she was only injured at most, but because Eunuch Feng wanted to show his bravery, she was stabbed directly on the edge of her neck!

Seeing Feng Bao's bloody scene, if Empress Dowager Li had not been from the folk and had seen her father and brother injured and bleeding when she was a child, she would have almost fainted!
