The sky finally dawned.

However, the gate of the capital was not opened.

This made many people who were preparing to enter the city blocked outside the city.

If the city gate is not open at the right time, it means that what happened in the capital should be quite serious.

So, the people blocked outside all started to talk.

Among them, not only the people, businessmen, but also officials returning to Beijing.

There was one of the fifth-rank officials who arrived later, who looked in their forties. After seeing an official waiting in front of them, they went over to greet another person and said, "Du Yinxi, the governor of Changsha, has seen this adult, and I don't know what to call him?"

The official who arrived first, also in his forties, turned around and looked back, then folded his fists and returned the salute, introducing himself: "Zuo Maodi, the head of the Ministry of Revenue!"

After saying that, he saw Du Yinxi's dusty look and asked curiously: "The magistrate of Changsha? It's quite far from the capital. It shouldn't be time to enter Beijing yet? Is there another order to enter Beijing?"

Local officials will go to Beijing to report their duties at the age of time, and he means that this time should not be up.

When Du Yinxi heard this, he showed respect and treated him solemnly.

It is not because of the official position, but because of the same age as the two. However, Du Yinxi was only a Jinshi in the tenth year of Chongzhen, but Zuo Maodi was a Jinshi in the fourth year of Chongzhen.

Then, Du Yinxi replied with some confusion: "Your Majesty sent an order to summon him urgently, but the order did not explain anything. Before many cases were handled, he could only rush to the capital."

In the 14th year of Chongzhen, he became the prefect of Changsha. After taking office, he handled more than 300 cases and compiled the "Changsha Prefecture Chronicle". However, now that he is affected by the butterfly effect, none of these things have been completed.

Hearing his words, Zuo Maodi could feel that his colleague was an official who did practical things, so he was willing to talk to him, so he said, "I am supervising the canal transportation. I also received an urgent call from the emperor and had to put down my affairs and hurried back."

Hearing this, Du Yinxi couldn't help but be a little surprised. Unexpectedly, it was not just him who received the urgent call. Could it be that something really happened in the capital?

While he was still thinking, suddenly, a powerful tall man from Kong Wu who was standing beside them also came over and clasped his fists to them and said, "Two masters, Yan Yingyuan, the lower official Jiangyin Dianshi, also received the urgent call from the emperor to Beijing."

Originally, he was just a poor official and would not interrupt the conversation between the two civil officials. However, when he was standing next to him, he was a little curious when he heard that they were both summoned to Beijing by the emperor, so he followed.

Whether it was Zuo Maodi or Du Yinxi, he was surprised when he heard what he said.

They were from Jinshi at least, and the affairs in the court were somewhat related. However, it was a bit unimaginable that a mere local official named Jiangyin was summoned to the capital by the emperor.

Therefore, after looking at each other, both looked at Yan Yingyuan again. Zuo Maodi asked, "What is the reason for the purpose?"

After hearing this, Yan Yingyuan shook his head and said, "No, I just received the order and asked to go to Beijing immediately."

This means that the content of the order given to them is actually the same, and they all come to Beijing immediately after the order.

Zuo Maodi was even more curious and asked about the time to receive the order. After calculating, he found that it seemed that he had received the order at the latest.

So what exactly happened in the court? We must first summon a local clerk, then the local magistrate, and finally recalled the staff of the canal transportation to the capital?

I really can't figure it out! Zuo Maodi thought so in his heart, then turned to look at the tall capital city gate, frowned slightly, "What happened to the capital city? Is the city gate still closed?"

"I arrived early, but I heard some things that people around me were talking about." Yan Yingyuan listened and took over the topic and said.

"Oh?" Du Yinxi and Zuo Mao couldn't help but pay attention to him for the first time and turned to look at him.

When Yan Yingyuan saw it, he quickly explained: "About the beginning of the month, Zhang Qingtian came out of the capital, not only resettled refugees outside the city, but also served as the commander of the Jinyiwei and was also appointed as Duke Xingguo. But just when Duke Xingguo left the capital to suppress the thieves, there was a rumor about Jiulian Bodhisattva in the capital, saying that Duke Xingguo was a treacherous minister who was a traitor in the country. If the emperor did not punish him, he would bring disaster to the concubine! It seemed that yesterday, Duke Xingguo hurried back to the capital and even hung an assassin's body to claim it. The lockdown of the city gate is probably related to these things!"

Hearing this, Du Yinxi and Zuo Maodi were both shocked. Unexpectedly, so many things happened in the capital!

The case of Jiulian Bodhisattva in the eleventh year of Chongzhen not only caused a sensation in the capital, but also shocked the entire Ming Dynasty. After all, the matter involved royal affairs such as the Empress Dowager and the Five Emperors.

At that time, even though they were not in the capital, they knew about this. To be honest, they didn’t believe it very much. However, if they didn’t believe it, it couldn’t be said that someone was murdering, then this was a shocking case!

Anyway, no matter what, the emperor believed it. Their energy was too small to question this matter. But I didn’t expect that the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva would appear again in the past few years?

As people in the officialdom, they immediately knew clearly that the appearance of the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva was definitely aimed at the newly emerged Duke Xingguo.

Sure enough, when they thought of this, they heard Yan Yingyuan continue to say: "Just a few days ago, the former chief of the Sili Supervisor Wang Dehua, the former chief of the imperial horse supervisor Wang Zhixin, the former commander of the Jinyiwei Luo Yangxing, including the young master of the Jiading Bo Mansion Zhou Bi'an, and the queen's younger brother, were all killed at the Meridian Gate by sticks..."

Hearing this, Zuo Maodi and Du Yinxi were both shocked again.

Among these people, it is a big deal to kill one of them with a stick. I didn’t expect that so many of them were killed by a stick at one time were really unimaginable!

Thinking of this, the two of them couldn't help but look at each other again. They felt that they really couldn't understand the court now!

"The emperor said that the prince violated the law and was punished with the common people!" When Yan Yingyuan said this, he seemed to have a feeling of being proud, which made the two listeners feel this way, "No matter who it is, as long as it violates the laws of the Ming Dynasty, they will be severely punished."

Speaking of this, Yan Yingyuan came to his senses and seemed to realize that he had said a little too much in front of the two civil servants, so he returned to his peace and said, "The matter of Jiulian Bodhisattva was also after this. Both the court and the country, believe and not believe!"

After hearing this, Zuo Maodi looked at Du Yinxi and suddenly asked, "What do you think about this?"

"Zi Wu said that the strange powers are in chaos!" Du Yinxi heard this, pondered for a moment and replied, "If I were to say it, there must be something strange about it!"

As a person in the court, you can tell that this kind of thing involves power struggles at a glance.

If it is just an ordinary matter of ghosts and gods, then as a Confucian child, it is important to worship ghosts and gods if you do not take the initiative to be mindful, then you must be controlled by ghosts and gods, so you can stay away from them.

But if things really come to an end, you won’t be afraid of ghosts and gods!

After Du Yinxi said that, he suddenly thought of something and asked in a daze: "Can it be that the emperor urgently summoned us to Beijing to investigate the matter thoroughly?"

Look, he is trying to make a case. No matter how good the case is, he believes that the level of the case is definitely good. So, he urgently summoned a divine history that controls the name of punishment and a censor. Is this possible?

As soon as he said this, Zuo Maodi shook his head and said, "Time is not right! The matter of Jiulian Bodhisattva has not happened yet when he urgently summoned us!"

When Du Yinxi heard this, he couldn't help but feel silent. He didn't pay attention and ignored this. It seemed that he was confused if he was concerned!

Thinking about it, the emperor urgently summoned him to come from Changsha. What was the purpose of?

Yan Yingyuan looked at the two civil servants. Although his expressions did not change, he felt a little more favor when listening to their conversation. Because when these two civil servants heard about this, they did not immediately denounce the Duke Xingguo! If it were a corrupt official, they would definitely condemn him as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be a little curious: What kind of person was that Duke Xingguo? It suddenly appeared and turned the Ming Dynasty's officialdom upside down?

They were really silent. Suddenly, they heard the sound of the door opening heavily. When they turned around, they saw that the city gate was open.

Suddenly, the crowd rushed towards the city gate. Many people asked the soldiers who opened the door why they opened the city gate so late?

"Duke Xingguo seized the Duke's Mansion and Yongweiying took over the Beijing camp!"

When he heard this, everyone was immediately exploded, and the news was spread!

"What, one duke searches for another duke, what's the situation?"

"The Jinyiwei is so powerful. Could it be that the Jinyiwei of the year is back?"

“…”

Unlike these common people who care about this, Du Yinxi and Zuo Maodi had a heavy face. No matter what the Duke of the State or the Duke of the State, there was something wrong with the army in the capital. The Yongwei Camp and the Beijing Camp are a big deal!

I don’t know the specific situation, but the Duke Xingguo and the new commander of the Jinyiwei went to investigate the general of the Jing camp. This matter was too big. Maybe it would happen if something big happened. I guess it would be a mess in the court!

Thinking of this, the two of them immediately rushed to the Forbidden City.

Behind them, they naturally followed Yan Yingyuan and all went to report.

The power struggle in the capital was obviously at its most intense time, and it was really unpredictable what this would bring to the Ming Dynasty! Whether it was Zuo Maodi or Du Yinxi, they were worried and unwilling to speak.

However, Yan Yingyuan had no special expression and seemed a little calm.

However, what they didn't expect was that when they arrived at the gate of the Forbidden City Palace and were waiting for the audience, they saw a team coming.
Chapter completed!
