Chapter 141 This autumn is not peaceful(1/2)

 Autumn is here.

The weather is gradually getting cooler, which can be seen from the fact that fewer people are buying iced snacks in front of the four Changjia shops in the city.

However, the past few days in the court have been very difficult.

A few days ago, the emperor's grandson came to supervise the country for the first time, and the emperor suddenly issued an order to arrest hundreds of officials in the court. Now Jinyiweizhao Prison is already overcrowded.

Everyone is waiting to see what the emperor will do with these people in the end.

However, what we waited for was the news that a certain court official was suddenly arrested and sent to Jinyiweizhao Prison every day.

Some of them were in the yamen, handling matters, and were taken away by the Jin Yiwei who came to the door.

Some were drinking and eating at home and were taken away before they were full.

Several courtiers even heard that while they were contributing to the population of the Ming Dynasty at home, they were forcefully taken away by the Jin Yiwei who kicked open the door.

I don’t know if the population of the Ming Dynasty will decrease sharply because of this.

Under such circumstances, everyone in the court was in danger, fearing that they would be taken away at some point.

Before the matter was finalized, everyone was on tenterhooks. They didn't realize how cool this early autumn was. On the contrary, it became even hotter.

The prince's physical condition is still unknown to outsiders.

The emperor was still ill, and every court meeting in the court was presided over by the emperor's grandson, Jianguo.

There are even vague rumors among the people that the emperor and the prince are already seriously ill and irreversible.

And people are being arrested every day in the court because these people are secretly trying to do something wrong.

But amid such panic, the generals were particularly happy.

We get together on time every day and discuss that yesterday, another blind civil servant was caught and imprisoned in Jin Yiwei Zhao Prison.

As a result, during this period of time, the founding hero and military general who made great contributions to the founding of the country would often appear at the door of Jinyiwei. He would take the wrong path and end up here.

The generals are watching the fun, but they are also happy and sad.

Duke Liang's Mansion.

It has been closed to outsiders for the past few days.

After entering the mansion, it is no longer rare to see the scenes of Liang Guogong Lan Yu and his adopted sons practicing and fighting with their own soldiers.

Lan Yu, Duke of Liang, who had received a hundred canes, has been depressed recently.

Today, just like the previous days, I moved a chair and sat next to the empty martial arts arena.

There is a cup of herbal tea next to you, which is somewhat in line with this early autumn.

Lan Chun walked over from the front and saw his father sitting on the chair with a lonely look on his face, looking at the dazzling weapon rack with dull eyes.

He sighed lowly and walked to Lan Yu: "Father, Marquis Jingchuan asked someone to ask if you want to go to the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion."

The Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and the Jinyiwei Yamen are on the same street, with several Yamen opening opposite each other.

Lan Yu's eyes were a little dazed, and she turned around and said: "I am alone now, why should I go to the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion again?"

The grandson of the emperor beat himself!

Slap yourself in front of so many courtiers!

Now that Chang Sen has taken on the role of personal guard of the Forbidden Army, the Chang family is once again prosperous. Many people in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion may have their thoughts moved as well.

Lan Yu only felt that everyone had benefited from the emperor's supervision of the country, and he was the only one who was left out.

Lan Chun's face was stiff and he whispered: "Father, didn't I tell you this? This is the first time that the emperor has taken power. Your Majesty trusts you, so he used you as a show to scare the courtiers."

"Then Yun... the emperor's grandson doesn't have to send all my adopted sons and soldiers to the frontier!" Lan Yu shouted dissatisfied.

Lan Chun hurriedly looked around, and then whispered: "Father, you are overkill. Think about it, if the emperor's grandson supervises the country now, if the sworn brothers are like the past...the past..."

He wanted to say that the group of people adopted as adopted sons by Lan Yu used to rely on the name of Liang Guogong to cause trouble in the city.

At that time, His Majesty never punished me because of the blue jade.

But now the emperor's grandson has also begun to supervise the country. If the Lan family no longer understands the rules, what will the courtiers think? Will the emperor's grandson have to punish the Lan family more severely?

Seeing Lan Yu, I still can’t get excited.

Lan Chun rolled his eyes and whispered: "Father, the sworn brothers are going to Kaiping Guard, have you forgotten? Kaiping Guard is just north of Beiping City..."

"Beiping..."

Peiping!

Lan Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she turned to look at Lan Chun excitedly.

He grabbed Lan Chun's arm: "Is this really true?"

Lan Chun nodded, not daring to say anything.

Lan Yu gradually regained her former vitality, and kept chanting the word "Beiping" in her mouth.

In the past, he often spoke to the prince, claiming that King Yan had rebellious intentions. However, as the elder brother, the prince had watched King Yan grow up. As the eldest brother, he did not want to believe it and could not bear brothers to kill each other, so he repeatedly refuted him. ’s advice.

Lan Yu admitted that during the Northern Expedition, she had many disagreements with King Yan, but she also saw King Yan's ambitions and was worried that something inappropriate would happen to the country.

Now, after Lan Chun’s reminder.

It dawned on him.

Lan Yu said excitedly: "So, is this a common view between the emperor's grandson and a certain person?"

Lan Chun nodded: "The prince doesn't want to think so, but the prince is always so kind and treats his brothers like brothers. But the emperor's grandson probably has different ideas. After all... that one in the north has a lot of money in his hands."

They are all heavily armed."

As he spoke, Lan Chun looked at his increasingly agitated father, and couldn't help but have other worries in his heart.

He had no choice but to say: "It's just that these are all my son's guesses. After all, the emperor's grandson is so heroic now. He has been in charge of the court for just a few days, but he has become more and more skillful. The civil servants and generals in the court are even more skilled.

They all have outstanding abilities and will have great righteousness in the future, so it is unlikely that anything will happen to them."

"Huh!" Lan Yu snorted coldly: "It is the Emperor Taisun who dares to do something bold. Now I have finally woken up. The Emperor Taisun is planning ahead and placing people behind that person. As long as he dares to make any changes in the future,

You can get it directly!”

For a time, Lan Yu returned to the unruly and mighty general of the country in the past, and she even wished she was sent to the Kaiping Guard.

Seeing his father acting like this, Lan Chun could only smile dryly.

……

It is different from the scene in Liang Guogong’s mansion.

In the Youjun Dudu Mansion, probably because the Youjun Dudu Mansion is directly opposite the Jinyiwei Yamen.

These days, there are always many people gathering in the Governor's Mansion.

Below are the founding achievements of the country such as Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen, a general in the army who was born in Huaiyou.

Cao Zhen and others looked outside the Governor's Mansion from time to time to see if the Jinyiwei Yamen across the way continued to arrest people today.

The look on his face is extremely hopeful.

Only the founding father Chang Sheng, who was sitting above, had an extremely dull expression.

He always felt that something big was going to happen in the court. Jin Yiwei was arresting people in batches these days. Is it really possible to lock these people in Zhao Prison for the rest of their lives?

You must know that these days, the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army involved in the Xuanwu Gate Incident have been implicated in the three clans, and their heads fell to the ground outside Yingtian City.

If we include the palace maids who were condemned to death in the East Palace, plus the heads of the Zhou family of Jiangxia Hou in Zhongdu, we can make a detailed calculation.

In just a few days, thousands of heads have fallen to the ground.

So, can the heads in the Jinyiwei Yamen still be kept?

Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen waited for a long time, but did not wait for the Jin Yiwei to arrest people again today. Finally, he sighed in disappointment, patted the armrest and returned to his seat.

"Why aren't we arresting anyone today?"

He sighed and shouted with great pity.

Chang Sheng coughed lightly. Under the gaze of everyone, the prince, who had always been generous and caring, finally showed a rare look of dissatisfaction.

This sudden change caused Cao Zhen and others to quickly calm down and sit up straight in their seats, with their hands down and their chests raised, not daring to be frivolous.

Chang Sheng glanced at the people present and warned: "It's a troubled time! It's a troubled time! Do you really think that since Jin Yiwei is taking people all day long, you will be safe and have nothing to worry about?"

No one dared to speak.

On the other hand, Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen curled his lips and felt a little disapproving.

Chang Sheng glared: "Jingchuan Hou! You should pray that these people who were taken into the Imperial Guard can come out alive! Otherwise, with so many civil servants in the court dying, do you think there are a few people here who would really have their butts clean?

Clean, no problem at all!"

Cao Zhen thought for a moment and said, "We didn't do anything, so why should we ask His Majesty to accuse us?"

Chang Sheng snorted twice: "I'm just reminding you that if there is a problem, you'd better go to His Majesty and ask for the blame."

Cao Zhen still disagreed.
