If you don't know, you just don't say it.

The emperor snorted coldly in his heart, but Fan Xiaodao made great contributions tonight. If he hadn't blocked more than a hundred ghost soldiers and severely injured Night King Zhu Dian, creating a chance for them to escape to the underground palace, they might not have had their lives to stand here.

Therefore, this dissatisfaction is not reflected in the face.

Zhao Xing and Lin Datong led the imperial guards in.

He had the emperor's seal, and Lin Datong knew about the mechanisms, so he did not encounter much resistance.

When a group of people walked out of the underground palace, the sun had risen and it was bright.

They breathed the fresh air outside the palace in big mouths. They were so scared last night, but now the living people seem to be a different life.

Several imperial guards carried Xue Yingxiong's body and walked out.

The emperor said: "Wait!"

Xue Yingxiong was covered with a white cloth. The emperor walked to him and opened the white cloth. His face was gone. The blood stained on his body made the white cloth red. The emperor looked at him in a complicated expression. Zhao Quan, who was beside him, sighed deeply.

He and Zhao Quan were both the emperor's confidants, but they did not expect that they would betray them at a critical moment.

The ministers all turned their eyes on contempt.

Even officials with good relations with Yasukuni Public Security Bureau on weekdays have begun to draw a clear line with him now.

"The traitor should be punished!"

A censor said: "I ask Your Majesty to encircle the Duke of Jingguo Mansion, and the whole family will be executed!"

Zhao Quan glared at him, and the censor quickly shut up.

The emperor said to Zhao Quan, "Notify his family and let someone take the corpse back, at least the master and servant will be buried with you."

Only Zhao Quan understands the meaning of this sentence.

This is the tacit understanding they have cultivated from the Xingxian Palace to the palace over the years.

The emperor and everyone did not sleep all night.

Waiting for Fan Xiaodao, Zhao Xing walked out of the palace. The pedestrians on the streets were as usual, and the market was crowded with people, and the sun rose as usual.

For the people, what happened in the palace last night had nothing to do with their lives. They had no idea that the palace was in shock last night and almost changed its owner. Only the people who were closer to the imperial city noticed the strange phenomena that occurred in the palace late at night, combined with the rumors of the eunuchs who escaped from the palace, made up all kinds of rumors.

However, soon, these rumors disappeared.

The night banquet in the palace soon became qualitative.

The court's subsequent actions were also very quick and timely, reflecting the unprecedented efficiency of the empire.

The reward for merit and practice is to be rewarded, and the liquidation is to be settled.

The minister who was the most meritorious person must be Zhao Xing. After less than a day, another imperial edict was given to him as the Lord Zhongyong and given a python robe.

Zhao Xing's father Zhao Huan, who was about to replace Li Yao, who had retired, entered the cabinet. Last night, he wrote an edict to fight against the rebellion of the king in the palace. He was one step and three levels, and directly became the second auxiliary in the cabinet. He ranked behind Qin Zhu and ranked third in the cabinet.

Du Jinliang, the young minister of Dali Temple, was calm in the face of danger and angrily denounced King Gaoyang in public, replaced Xu Sicheng and served as the Minister of Dali Temple. Xu Sicheng, who was killed by Gaoyang, did not neglect the court. He posthumously awarded the title of Wenchang and was worthy of the Taimiao. Ministers who performed well in the palace night banquet were also promoted.

The rest of the people who performed well in the birthday celebration were also praised.

Unexpectedly, Lao Xu, a coroner from the Six Gate, was also awarded the title of third-class title. His two sons both favored officials of the seventh rank and received salaries from the court. The emperor's substitute died in Taiping Taoist Temple, and the treatment given by the court also comforted his spirit in heaven.

Some are happy and some are sad.

Princess Taiping has dozens of people in her party, and the outcome can be imagined.

After King Gaoyang died, they saw that the situation was not good, and they all expected their own fate. Several officials hanged themselves on the spot. Among them, Xue Bing, the censor who jumped the most happily, was sentenced to beheading the whole family, and the rest were also given poisonous wine and their families were exiled.

The Zuo Jinwu Guard had a total of 1,000 people in the camp, and they were all killed.

This was the second cleaning of the imperial guards after the Kyoto Blood Night.

All the demonic Taoists of Taiping Taoist Temple will be killed.

As for Lin Datong, he was dereliction of duty and neglected his duties, which led to the fall of the palace and a one-year salary. However, in order to protect the master and save the emperor, he cut off his arm and was given a baron, which was also considered the court's affirmation of him.

The most difficult thing to deal with is Princess Taiping.

After the death of King Gaoyang, Princess Taiping knew that the matter was about to be finished and fled back to the palace. When everyone arrived, she prepared three-foot white silk and was about to hang herself, but was stopped by the officers and soldiers. The emperor did not deliberately hold the last emperor's only daughter accountable, but only took back his power and was trapped in the princess's mansion and would not be allowed to enter the palace for the rest of her life.

A few days later, news came that Princess Taiping was going crazy.

After the emperor's birthday, the situation in the capital began to be reshuffled.

Various personnel transfers were carried out in an orderly manner under the instruction of the cabinet and the palace.

Half a month later, another big news came.

The prince is in charge of the country!

This is a major signal from the court, which means that His Majesty is tired of secular government affairs and is ready to hand over power.

In addition to the Jinyiwei, the East Factory and the Inner Court, there were also military generals, and the government affairs of the other six ministries and nine ministers were handed over to the Crown Prince Zhu Yan.

During the night banquet, the Crown Prince Zhu Yan kept guarding His Majesty and was deeply appreciated by His Majesty. After a few days of upset, His Majesty began to interact with all kinds of gods and devote themselves to the illusory path of cultivation. For a time, there were endless people visiting the East Palace, and the threshold of the East Palace was said to have been stepped down by someone several inches.

Only what surprised everyone was His Majesty’s handling of Xue Yingxiong.

Collude with the rebel king and intend to rebel.

This is a crime to kill the nine clans, but the emperor did not pursue it.

To maintain the title of Duke Jingguo, soon another decree was issued in the palace, posthumously posthumously named "Wuying" and to enjoy the Taimiao. Since Xue Yingxiong had no descendants, his wife Liu was granted the title of second-rank imperial wife. Many people find it difficult to understand, but some people explain that the reason why Your Majesty did this was to take care of the face of the royal family. After all, the most loyal person betrayed himself and telling him out would damage the dignity of the royal family.

Only the emperor and Zhao Quan knew the real reason.

When the news reached Fan Xiaodao's ears, he was also very surprised.

With the emperor's nature, he has always hated those who betrayed, but Xue Yingxiong was worthy of the Taimiao, which was a privilege that only those who had made special contributions in the court could only receive. How could a person who intends to rebel deserve this honor?

Zhao Xingdao: "Unless Xue Yingxiong's death, there is another hidden truth."

Zhao Xing was not present at the time of the incident, but Fan Xiaodao had already told him about the incident in detail. After hearing this analysis, Fan Xiaodao asked, "Do you think there is a problem?"

Zhao Xing nodded, "You said that, given the situation at that time, your adoptive father had become murderous. If he didn't stand up, who would be in trouble?"

Fan Xiaodao said: "Your Majesty."

Zhao Xingdao, "That's right. So, I guess, he stood up to take the blame for His Majesty!"

The possibility of this matter is not without it.

However, Fan Xiaodao's analysis at that time and Xue Yingxiong's many actions showed that he had close ties with the rebel king Zhu Dian, but his attitude towards this matter in the harem was clearly handled in accordance with the treatment of a meritorious minister.

I originally thought that Xue Yingxiong's death was considered to avenge his mother.

After Zhao Xingyi's analysis, Fan Xiaodao had another doubt in his heart.

Zhao Xingdao: "Otherwise, once he dies, the dead soldiers under his command and the Jinyiwei will not be held accountable. Moreover, Murong Tiechui will temporarily serve as the commander of the Jinyiwei. This is not normal. It is not difficult to find out the situation. Three days will be the day of the funeral of Duke Jingguo. Logically, we should send him a ride!"

Fan Xiaodao agreed: "Okay!"

...

There is nothing big happening at home.

After being named Anle Hou, the corresponding rewards were also sent.

In addition, the palace also sent two old mothers and ten maids. Fan Xiaodao instinctively wanted to refuse. With his current salary, he supported him, Li Hongxiao, Li Qingniu, and Aunt Li who cleaned and cooked, there was no big problem, but it was a bit unbearable for Fan Xiaodao to send so many people at once. The eunuch who gave the gift told him that the amount of money in the mansion was about 10,000 taels of silver per year from the clan's mansion.

Although the palace did not recognize his royal status, he did not have any treatment for the royal family members.

It is equivalent to admitting his identity in disguise.

However, Fan Xiaodao refused.

First, he was not used to being served by someone; second, who knew if the people sent from the palace had mixed into the nails of the factory guards?

It’s not as good as a small courtyard, and you’re happy and at ease.

Censor Peng came and sent some money, which also brought good news. After the birthday ceremony, a large number of vacancies appeared in the court, especially the Ministry of Works, where almost all upper-level officials were removed, while Censor Peng was successfully promoted to the doctor of the Ministry of Works.

"Will you call you Langzhong Peng in the future?"

Langzhong Peng smiled and said, "It's all about your blessings, and it's your blessing!"

On the night of the birthday celebration, Langzhong Peng did nothing, but it seemed that he had done everything.

Taking a right side is sometimes an attitude.

Peng Langzhong said: "It just so happened that the Marquis Zhongyong is here. I came today and I happened to have something to consult with you. The cabinet has issued a document to build a mansion for you in Beijing. I have chosen a few places. Do you think it is suitable. If it goes well, it will be built in two months."

Fan Xiaodao said: "I live well, why do you need to move?"

Zhao Xingdao: "You seem to have forgotten that this is my home."

Fan Xiaodao said: "In the past two years, my rent has not been short for you, right?"

Peng Langzhong said: "The court has the rules of the court. Isn't it difficult for me? If you really don't want to care, then I'll do it for you."

Fan Xiaodao said: "Mr. Peng, it's not a problem for you to bother you so much."

Langzhong Peng said: "How can I say that? Since I met you, Mr. Peng has a prosperous career! That's it!"

After seeing off Langzhong Peng, Zhao Xing looked at him and said, "This Lord Peng is indeed a wonderful person."
