Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 913 The Massacre

To be honest, if there was a general of the same level as Li Xin, who stood in front of the emperor and said these words, the emperor Yuan Zhao would definitely be overjoyed and hand over the three imperial guards in the capital and even the imperial army that could be controlled by this person. , let him help himself carry this black cauldron.

   On the other hand, Ye Ming is more than Li Xin when it comes to his seniority and military merit. After all, when the banned army marched westward, Ye Ming was the head coach, and Li Xin was just a lieutenant.

   As long as he is willing to stand behind the Son of Heaven, the situation in the capital can be stabilized almost immediately, and those who are secretly interested will not dare to make another move.

   But Ye Ming can't.

   The reason is very simple, his daughter married the emperor Taikang, and gave birth to a prince, who was named a concubine of virtue.

   This is one of the most threatening competitors for Emperor Yuanzhao.

  The blood and family relationship, after all, is more important. The fourth brother of Emperor Yuan Zhao is Ye Ming's grandson. With this kind of relationship, he would not dare to use Ye Ming anyway.

  The Emperor took a deep breath, glanced at Ye Ming, and forced a smile: "Old Prince, there is nothing major in the capital, just some small twists and turns, I can handle it."

This answer was not unexpected to Ye Ming, the old general sighed and said, "Your Majesty, this minister has no selfishness in entering the capital this time. The old minister has no job in the court now, he doesn't command the army, and he can't live. A few years, no ambition."

"Now that the capital is in turmoil, your Majesty has never been in charge of the newly established government. If the riots continue like this, I am afraid there will be even greater turmoil. Your Majesty uses ministers, and ministers should clean up the demon atmosphere for His Majesty, and also make the court clear and bright, and the old ministers can count them all. bear..."

   "If Your Majesty does not need an old minister, the minister should also speak to His Majesty."

  The old general stood up, knelt on the ground slowly, and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, at this time, it is better to swing the knife fast rather than slow, sooner rather than later, and if there is a little delay, things will become more and more troublesome."

   "As long as the Imperial Guard supports His Majesty and a scholar dies, the Great Jin will still be the Great Jin..."

Ye Ming had been guarding Jimen Pass in northern Xinjiang for the past few years. Later, he returned to Beijing to deal with Ye Sheng's funeral. After that, he was filial piety in Ningling. Emperor Yuan Zhao was not familiar with him, and he had only met him once or twice. Seeing the old general kneeling in front of him, the emperor was also a little flustered.

   He stepped forward, helped Ye Ming up, and sighed: "I know that the old man is loyal to the country, but I know that soon after I ascended the throne, if I become a tyrant, there will be more people who will have crooked thoughts in the future."

   The little emperor has been on the throne for less than a year, and his throne is unstable. If he kills his ministers without authorization, his reputation will be ruined. At that time, many clans and many of his brothers will have a chance.

   Taboo is taboo here.

  Ye Ming has a hoarse voice because of his poor health.

   "Your Majesty, the imperial court is only in swords and guns, not in fame."

   "The former emperor..."

   When he said this, he did not continue to speak, but the meaning of the words was already very obvious.

   When the first emperor, Imchen Palace, took power and succeeded to the throne, it was also an infamy that has not been easy for a long time, but he has mastered the orthodoxy and the forbidden army, and his regime has been as stable as Mount Tai for more than ten years.

   Emperor Yuanzhao rubbed his forehead with some pain, and smiled bitterly: "Old Prince, I can think about this matter, I can't make up my mind for a while."

   Ye Ming bowed his head and said, "The old minister will be in the manor, waiting for His Majesty's holy will."

   said, he was about to get up and say goodbye.

The emperor personally sent him to the gate of Weiyang Palace, and before parting, he said: "Master Li refuses to come back in Yongzhou, can the old prince write him a letter and persuade him to go back to Beijing and help me. "

   Ye Ming looked back at the emperor, then nodded silently.

   "Your Majesty said, the minister naturally obeyed, but even if Chang'an is willing to return to the capital, when he returns, the capital will be in a different situation."

   Emperor Yuanzhao lowered his eyebrows and said, "I understand."

   Ye Ming bent over to say goodbye, then slowly walked down the eighty-one steps of Weiyang Palace.

   The young emperor just stood at the gate of the palace, quietly watching Ye Ming go away.

   After a while, he sighed and said enviously, "It would be great if I had such a mother."

   Xiao Zheng, who was behind him, lowered his head and said, "A big family cannot become a descendant. This is the rule established by Emperor Wu."

  Because there were many precedents of foreign relatives intervening in politics in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, after Emperor Wu destroyed the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he set such a rule that the prince's wife's family could not be a big family of the fourth rank or above, to prevent foreign relatives from taking the lead in politics.

   Emperor Yuan Zhao looked at the background where Ye Ming was walking away, and sighed again.

   "Just now, as long as I nod my head, the Ye family can help me and solve all the troubles in the capital. Those annoying civil servants, the Ye family can also help me kill..."

"such a pity."

  The emperor turned his head and walked back to the Weiyang Palace.

   "Unfortunately, I have a fourth brother."

  …………

  The situation in the capital is getting worse and worse.

Several Zaifu were placed under house arrest, and the court added a few more Zaifu who entered the Shangshutai temporarily, but the emperor had never been in power, so the candidates for entering the Shangshutai could only rely on court discussions and court pushes. It is these civil servants who are in the Shangshutai.

  He took four newcomers in the house under the door and handled state affairs.

   And the public opinion field in the capital, under the operation of people with a heart, became more and more boiling, and some vivid stories began to be circulated in various squares of the capital.

   For example, how beautiful the noble man of Chu is, such as some details of Yuan Zhao's son and mother.

  Some people say it as true, as if he saw it with his own eyes when he climbed the window of Weiyang Palace.

   And Shen Kuan, Yan Shouzhuo and others' disciples and old officials also began to exert their strength. Many people jointly signed a letter to the court, and did not mention the matter of the emperor's mess with the mother, but only asked the court to release a few Zaifu.

   And at this time, there were already some people who wanted to try to get past the blockade of the imperial guards. They wanted to enter the homes of several Saisukes and "talk" to them.

   On the side of Emperor Yuanzhao, it was as if nothing had happened, what to do every day as always, and the grand meeting held once every ten days was also held as usual.

   However, the three characters of Chu Guiren became taboo in the imperial court. After an official mentioned these three characters, he was directly thrown into the Dali Temple by the guards and was charged with slandering the emperor.

   The capital on the bright side calmed down.

   But the underground current is getting more and more turbulent.

In order to cope with this situation, the internal **** recalled almost all the plum blossom guards. Emperor Yuan Zhao also called Hou Jingde and He Song into the Weiyang Palace to talk every three days. win over people.

   And Li Xin was still watching from Jincheng at this time.

   At this moment, a big event happened.

  On November 27, the first year of Yuanzhao, a murder case occurred in a residential house in Liyang County, Gyeonggi. More than 30 people in a family, except for a son who was studying abroad, all died.

   When Liyang County Government arrived at the family's house, they were shocked and dumbfounded when they saw the tragic scene at the scene.

   They hurriedly entered the capital and reported the case to the Jingzhao House.

  The people in Jingzhao Mansion were also quite frightened. Jingzhao Yin himself entered the palace immediately and reported the matter directly to Shangshutai. After reading the case, several temporary prime ministers of Shangshutai were stunned.

  Because this family was destroyed...

   Surname Chu!
