Ming Dynasty: My Brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao

The court lady came to the palace where the queen and the eldest son of the emperor lived, holding a vase of flower arrangements that the concubine said was for the queen to watch.

And when she came, the entire Xiyuan had a big explosion outside, and the other court ladies and eunuchs were frightened and ran to the north.

Only Zhang Fengyi was ordered to hide in the palace of the eldest son of the emperor.

After the maid brought the flowers into the palace of the eldest son of the emperor, she purposely said loudly: "The servant is ordered by the concubine to come and present flowers to the empress."

Saying that, the court lady came in, and immediately put the vase containing the flowers on the ground, and pulled out a short knife from the vase, walking inside.

As soon as the court lady came over, Zhang Fengyi walked towards her with bare hands and asked coldly: "Who are you?!"

The palace maid was shocked, she didn't expect there was a palace lady who hadn't escaped, and asked anxiously, "Where is His Royal Highness the eldest son?"

"Is that what you should be asking?"

Zhang Fengyi replied.

Without saying a word, the maid came to kill Zhang Fengyi with a knife.

But within a few rounds, Zhang Fengyi subdued the court lady to the ground.

...

"Your Majesty, there is a quick horse to report that a big explosion happened on the side of the outer wall of Xiyuan."

Not long after, Zhang Gui came to Tianqi to report.

After hearing this, Tian Qi said: "Hurry up and go back to the palace!"

In less than half a day, Tian Qi, accompanied by Zhang Gui, Wei Zhongxian, Han Yu and others, hurried back to Xiyuan on horseback.

"His Majesty is here!"

Xiyuan was in a mess at this time.

Because Zhang Gui and Wei Zhongxian were not there, the imperial guards and the inner court had no leader. It was not until Wei Zhongxian appeared and yelled that the entire inner court and Xiyuan guards were at ease.

Zhang Gui called Man Gui over and asked, "How did the explosion happen?"

"Someone dug a tunnel! The tunnel leads directly to a private house on Xuanwumen Street. A lot of gunpowder was buried near the outer wall of Xiyuan. Eight of the guards were killed on the spot, six of the eunuchs were killed, and they were injured. There are more than a dozen of them. Fortunately, His Majesty is not here."

Man Gui replied.

Zhang Gui nodded after hearing this: "It doesn't matter if you are here, I'm afraid that someone will take advantage of this to create chaos and then do something in the palace."

After speaking, Zhang Gui followed Tianqi into Xiyuan, and said to Tianqi: "Your Majesty, let's go directly to the place where the empress and the eldest son of the emperor live."

Tian Qi nodded, and walked directly to the bedroom of the empress and the eldest son of the emperor, and asked Wei Zhongxian to rectify the order in the inner court.

...

Not long after Zhang Fengyi arrested and tied up the court lady who was trying to assassinate her, she suddenly saw Concubine Liu coming with a few eunuchs.

As soon as Concubine Liu saw Zhang Fengyi, she asked, "Is the empress here?"

Zhang Fengyi replied: "The Empress and the eldest son went to Taikangbo Mansion."

Concubine Liu couldn't help feeling tense after hearing this, and then asked, "Why didn't you go?"

Zhang Fengyi said: "I was ordered to look at the house."

Concubine Liu's expression became more serious: "Did someone come here just now?"

"No."

Zhang Fengyi replied.

Concubine Liu suddenly scolded: "Nonsense! I clearly heard a report from an eunuch that a palace lady broke into the Queen's Empress's bedroom without authorization, so I rushed to see it. How could you say no! Either you were lazy and didn't pay attention. , or you are deliberately covering up!"

After speaking, Concubine Liu said to the eunuchs around her, "Go in and search for me!"

Concubine Liu has no choice now, and she did not expect that the maid she sent to assassinate the eldest son of the emperor would not go back to report the results for so long, so she began to feel uneasy because of this, and had to come here in person.

Anyway, now that Xiyuan is in chaos, she doesn't worry about being suspected of her whereabouts.

Then, what she didn't expect was that when she came, she saw Zhang Fengyi, who had recently become the wet nurse of the eldest son of the emperor, standing calmly outside the hall as usual.

This made her feel even worse, so she guessed that the matter of sending someone to assassinate the eldest son of the emperor might have failed, and what she had to do now was to silence her.

That's why Concubine Liu suddenly took the initiative to say that she had learned that an unknown maid had broken into the Queen's bedroom, and she wanted to send someone to search for it.

"You dare!"

Zhang Fengyi yelled, and said: "This is the bedroom of the empress empress and the eldest son of the emperor, no one is allowed to mess around without the empress' order!"

Concubine Liu snorted coldly when she saw this: "You don't have to drink a toast."

"Kill her!"

Concubine Liu ordered suddenly.

"Concubine Liu, who do you want them to kill?"

Tian Qi appeared outside at this time, and asked in a deep voice.

Concubine Liu was stunned when she heard the voice.

Then, a human head rolled down in front of her.

The owner of this head is the eunuch she arranged to inform outside.

"How many of your people have you planted in Xiyuan, and who gave you the courage to do this?"

Apocalypse asked.

Seeing this, Concubine Liu sat on the ground dejectedly: "It's still too late!"

At the same time, before the eunuchs brought by Concubine Liu had time to attack Zhang Fengyi, they were subdued to the ground by the guards brought by Zhang Gui.

"I trust you so much, I let you preside over the harem!"

Tianqi said another word to Concubine Liu.

Concubine Liu said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I can't do anything about it, they force me to do this, if I don't do this, my mother's family will be miserable."

"Detain Concubine Liu! Severe trial!"

Apocalypse ordered at this time.

Then, Tian Qi asked Zhang Fengyi again: "What happened?"

"A court lady broke into the empress's bedroom with a short knife. Because the empress asked me to stay here and prepare to wait for the rabbit, the minister also stayed here and caught her."

Zhang Fengyi replied.

After hearing this, Tian Qi looked at Zhang Gui: "You're right, someone really wanted to murder the eldest son of the emperor, and it was false to blow up the palace with gunpowder, but it was true to create chaos and kill the eldest son of the emperor!"

"It is not ruled out that it is a plan to murder the eldest son of the emperor while blowing up His Majesty."

Zhang Gui replied.

Concubine Liu, who was being escorted away, looked at Zhang Gui hurriedly: "Good Uncle Zhang Guo, I dare to say that it's you again, when did you guess it?"

Zhang Gui looked back at Concubine Liu, and asked, "You really did this because your natal family was controlled, not because you were also dissatisfied with the New Deal?"

Concubine Liu smiled bitterly: "It's all like this, and I'm already old, so why lie? That's right, Your Majesty, if you really insist on reforming the law and taking the benefits of the world's dignitaries and gentry, it won't happen if such a thing happens. It's the last time."

"Threat me?"

Tian Qi walked up to Concubine Liu, looked at her old face and said, "Since I have chosen to be such an emperor, do you think I care about life and death?"

Then, Tian Qi sneered again: "Isn't it just to be more ruthless than anyone else, since you guys didn't succeed, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Concubine Liu must have sent someone to spread the news of the assassination failure in advance."

As he spoke, Tian Qi shouted an order: "Pass the decree! First arrest all the nine clans of Concubine Liu!"

...

"What?! The matter of killing the eldest son of the emperor failed?"

Hanlin Chen Yan looked at Dang Yunrui in shock after learning about it from the Duke in bullfighting uniform.

Dang Yunrui was very scared after hearing this: "Why did it fail?"

Chen Yan asked the Duke calmly, "Have you silenced it?"

The duke replied: "No! According to what I heard, Concubine Liu has already been imprisoned."

Boom!

Dang Yunrui fell off the chair directly after hearing this: "What should I do!"

But Chen Yan murmured, "Is it because His Majesty is too clever, or is there some expert around him who has already guessed that we will attack the eldest son of the emperor!"

"Uncle Guo!"

Then, Chen Yan replied by himself, and said: "Only him! The failures of the previous few times were all because of his troubles. He has been trying to judge us with the greatest malice from the beginning to the end, and it is the same now that he thinks about it. Should have thought of us in the worst direction."

"Since you know it well, why did you say it now?"

the Duke asked.

Chen Yan smiled wryly and said, "You didn't listen to what I said. What you said at the time was that as long as it is not a god, no one will know that we are digging a tunnel."

Speaking of this, Chen Yan suddenly said with a serious expression: "Uncle Guo must have known about our tunnel digging in advance. There are traitors among us, so that must be the case."

"Forget it, what's the use of talking about it now."

Dang Yunrui said dejectedly.

The Duke nodded: "Yes, now think about how to save yourself."

Chen Yan said: "If you want to save yourself, you can only wash the black into white, complain for Concubine Liu, deny that this happened, and attribute the big explosion to a natural disaster."

"Your Majesty will not listen."

The party fortune is wise.

"Your Majesty won't listen, but His Royal Highness Xin Wang will."

Chen Yan laughed.

The duke stood up and said, "That's right! The king is innocent and dissatisfied with the tyrant's behavior. Let's go and complain for Concubine Liu. He will believe that it was the uncle who framed the concubine!"

that night.

Suddenly, a large number of officials came to Xinwang Mansion.

Chen Yan was the first to kneel in front of Prince Xin's Mansion: "Your Highness, please appeal for the concubine's grievance!"

"Your Highness, please appeal for the concubine's grievance!"

Many civil servants all knelt down.

"Your Highness, please appeal for the concubine's grievance!"

Even some nobles had to kneel down because they were involved in the gunpowder bombing case.

For a while, the Xinwang Mansion was full of people.
