Chapter 230: Behind the Chaos
"Who knew that they were not afraid at all. Instead, they thought it was a good opportunity to attack the eunuch party and win over the people's hearts, so they decided to give up their lives and fight to the end. I admired them very much, but I couldn't do this at all, so I bid farewell to them, resigned from their posts because of illness and returned home, and escaped a disaster. However, not long after, I regretted it very much. At that time, I also knew that Logi always cared about my head on my neck. If he killed him to vent his personal anger, it would be better to fight with the eunuch party in the capital. Even if he was beheaded, he could still be famous for his lifetime." Yu Zaiyuan shook his head and sighed.
Zhou Shaobai had seen some of the inhumane methods of the eunuch party with his own eyes, and couldn't help but admire these Yuyuan party members very much. Mu Ningzhi next to him heard that Yu Zaiyuan left others and returned to his hometown to avoid disaster, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Later, I heard in Qingyang that the Shen brothers were indeed imprisoned by the Jingweisi and suffered all kinds of torture. Chen Jingxian was even crippled with his waist and legs, and it was inconvenient to walk. So I quickly compiled a book to some friends in the capital, hoping to do my best to rescue him. Later, the news came, and the Shen brothers were all released. At that time, I was puzzled, who was so capable of rescuing people under the butcher knife of the eunuch party. So when I returned to the capital and Chen Jingxian asked me to meet, I first expressed my doubts, but he refused to say anything, saying, "Soon after, the capital will be turned upside down, and the emperor will take charge of the rule."
"I was surprised and knew that he had concerns. I thought to myself that if the emperor could rule, there would be a master behind his back. Then the previous release of the Shen brothers must be related to this master. So I sincerely said, if the emperor could rule in person this time, I, Yu Zaiyuan, would never refuse. Chen Jingxian was very satisfied after hearing this, so he explained something to me." Yu Zaiyuan said with a serious expression.
Zhou Shaobai felt a move in his heart and vaguely noticed something, but he didn't say anything, just listened quietly to Yu Zaiyuan.
"Chen Jingxian asked me to go to the garrison department Chen Xuance at the appropriate time and say something to him." Yu Zaiyuan looked at Zhou Shaobai's eyes and said slowly.
Zhou Shaobai and Mu Ningzhi tightened their whole body when they heard it, and only heard Yu Zaiyuan say, "That sentence is, let the daughter be in the dungeon of the Jianguo Mansion."
This sentence was very plain, but when Zhou Shaobai and Mu Ningyi heard that in broad daylight and in the bright world, they felt chill and creepy.
It turns out that everything that happened in the capital these days is linked to each other and carefully designed strategies.
"The reason he asked me to say this is because Chen Xuance had saved my life. Since then, he has trusted me very much." Yu Zaiyuan said, "That day, Chen Jingxian suddenly came to me and asked me to see Chen Xuance quickly. I knew that the time had come, so I did as I did. Later I realized that the Jingwei Department was raided by the Jianguo Mansion that night, and General Chen led his troops to bloodbath the Jianguo Mansion. The children who had disappeared in the capital were actually hidden in the Jianguo Mansion and the Jingwei Department dungeon."
Zhou Shaobai felt cold all over when he heard this, and Mu Ningzhi also had a pale face. After experiencing everything, he became a pawn for others without realizing it. This feeling was terrifying and weird.
"This incident gave the Yuyuan Party an important excuse. Under the arrangement of Shen Jingxian, many court officials began to jointly kneel down to advise the Empress Dowager and asked her to return the power to the emperor. As a result, within a few days, General Chen and the military advised the Empress Dowager in the palace. All the eunuchs were slaughtered, and the emperor has indeed taken power since then. Master Zhou, what do you feel after hearing this?" Yu Zaiyuan sighed softly and looked at Zhou Shaobai and asked.
"Are these all Chen Jingxian's plans?" Zhou Shaobai asked.
Yu Zaiyuan shook his head: "I am very familiar with Brother Chen. He is a kind-hearted man. He has always been open-minded and knowledgeable. These strategies are definitely not something he can imagine. Even if he can think of it, he can't do it with his strength."
After hearing this, Zhou Shaobai said thoughtfully: "So who is the master who controls everything behind this?"
Yu Zaiyuan said seriously: "I just said that there was a ruthless request. I wanted to ask Mr. Zhou to help me find out the person behind the scenes."
Zhou Shaobai heard the strange thing and said, "I don't understand. Isn't everything the master behind this scene done by Weng Yu? You want to do? I will kill all the eunuchs, return the emperor to rule the rebellion, quell the rebellion, and clean up the court's principles. Now these have been implemented in an orderly manner. So it doesn't seem important who is behind this scene."
"Alas, Master Zhou only knows one thing, not the other." Yu Zaiyuan sighed with a long smile, "Since the emperor took power, many people who were harmed by the eunuch party have been rehabilitated, and many of them have been re-activated by the emperor. For example, I have returned to the officialdom now."
Zhou Shaobaixi said: "Isn't this a good thing? Why did Lord Yu sigh instead?"
Yu Zaiyuan said in a deep voice: "It's just because I realized that the masters behind the scenes did not seem to have stopped. After the emperor took power, he had been dealing with all kinds of tricks every day and issued frequent edicts, and some of them were very abnormal. For example, the rebuilding of the Hundred Dramas, Mr. Zhou said just now that the emperor finally managed to rule, how could he spend his energy and financial resources on the Hundred Dramas? But the matter is so strange. Rebuilding the Hundred Dramas is indeed an important task ordered by the emperor."
"This..." Zhou Shaobai was stunned. This was indeed very unreasonable.
"Although this matter is strange, it is not the most urgent thing in front of you. There is another thing that I care about." Yu Zaiyuan paused for a moment and asked, "Does Mr. Zhou know that the official army is now fighting the rebellion in Hexi?"
"I heard something." Zhou Shaobai nodded.
"Does Mr. Zhou know who the general is the leader?" Yu Zaiyuan asked.
Zhou Shaobai shook his head: "I don't know about this."
Yu Zaiyuan said: "The general who led the army is Chen Xuanzhi, who is Chen Xuance's clan brother. And this Chen Xuanzhi is the empress dowager's party."
Zhou Shaobai and Mu Ningyi were stunned, and then they thought that the rebellion of the government army occurred before Chen Xuancai's military admonition. At that time, the military power was in the hands of the empress dowager, so the general would naturally be the one who the empress dowager could feel at ease.
"The Empress Dowager's surname is Chen. Since the late Emperor Long Yu returned to heaven, she has employed people from her clan to be appointed as generals. Chen Xuanzhi and Chen Xuance were both generals and officials at that time. Now the Empress Dowager's party has almost been beaten up in one place, but Chen Xuance's military advice has been made, not only did not cause any disaster, but he has been promoted to the title. Prince Zhou, guess what will Chen Xuanzhi, who is fighting bloody battles with the Qiankun Cult rebels in Hexi? "
"This..." Zhou Shaobai thought for a while and said, "The main focus should be on appeasement and slowly. The court should make a promise. If you fight bravely and fight against the rebellion, you will be rewarded twice as much as possible and do not blame the past. If you keep going and have a different intention, you should be punished and prevent any changes."
