"Okay!" Chen Yong smiled and nodded, "Forget it for today. Go back and pack up and get some rest."
"You will still serve as the commander of the palace tomorrow."
"Yes!" Yi Zhengjin clasped his fists and said, "I will definitely catch all the corrupt officials among the imperial guards."
He is not a fool. The emperor appointed him to such an important position so that he can catch the corrupt officials among the palace guards.
The "parasites" here do not refer to those who neglect their duties, but the diehard fans of the deposed emperor.
As the commander of the imperial guards of two dynasties, he knew very well who were loyal to the deposed emperor.
Tonight, the palace guards will undergo a reshuffle. Those who should be arrested will be arrested, those who should be demoted will be demoted, and those who should be promoted will be promoted.
Chen Yong raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Yi Zhengjin with appreciation.
"Okay, Lord Yi, just go ahead and do it. I trust you."
"yes!"
Yi Zhengjin left the imperial study and met Zhang Wenyuan as soon as he went out.
“It’s you!!?”
Yi Zhengjin's eyes widened in shock, "You...are all still alive?"
Of the guards who went to capture Chen Yong, more than half died, and the remaining more than a hundred people disappeared completely.
For so long, everyone in the capital had already thought that these imperial guards were dead, but unexpectedly...
Zhang Wenyuan pulled the corner of his lips and cupped his hands.
"Commander Yi, long time no see."
"......" Yi Zhengjin stared blankly at Zhang Wenyuan, who seemed to have gained a lot of weight, and laughed dryly.
"It's been a while, indeed. Guard Zhang seems to be living a good life."
Look at Zhang Wenyuan's high-spirited appearance, and then look at him covered in dust, with sunken cheeks and haggard appearance, as if he is ten years older than Zhang Wenyuan.
It seems that Zhang Wenyuan had already defected to Shen Yong, otherwise how could Zhang Wenyuan walk around the palace freely.
"Yes." Zhang Wenyuan smiled, "Following the emperor, life is naturally good."
Yi Zhengjin raised an eyebrow, "Has Guard Zhang returned home?"
When Zhang Wenyuan's whereabouts were unknown, the Zhang family arranged many people to look for him. It is said that Zhang's mother fell ill and was bedridden for two months because she was worried about her son.
Zhang Wenyuan paused, shook his head awkwardly, and sighed helplessly.
"There's no time to go back yet."
It's not that he doesn't want to go back, but he is afraid to go back.
Last night, he and Ji Yongjia were on the same plane.
The two met and discussed it, but neither dared to return home.
After Shen Yong ascended the throne and became emperor, he never mentioned the Shen family's relatives.
What does this mean? It means that Chen Yong still hates the heartless things his relatives did.
If they returned home at this time, their cousin's family would definitely come to their house and ask them to help plead with the emperor.
To be honest, they really couldn't bring themselves to say this.
They have been with the women of the Shen family for so long, but have never heard them mention their maternal family. They truly treat their maternal family as if they don't exist.
There was no way. When this happened to him, at the critical moment of life and death, his family gave him a heavy blow and cut off ties with him. It was difficult for him to forgive them.
As soon as he returned home, he would be in a dilemma, so it would be better not to go back.
Yi Zhengjin nodded thoughtfully.
"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. The Emperor will probably host a banquet for all the officials. Then..."
Zhang Wenyuan's expression froze, and he sighed and nodded.
"I understand. Thank you, Master Yi, for reminding me."
You can hide from the first day but not the fifteenth.
In order to avoid his family from getting too excited at the New Year's Eve banquet, he had to go back home tonight.
After watching Yi Zhengjin leave, Zhang Wenyuan turned around and went to find Ji Yongjia.
After discussing it, the two decided to return home at night, but they firmly refused to plead for mercy.
.......
"Xuanyuan Xi!!!"
Old Madam Shen glared at the deposed emperor in the cell.
Xuanyuan Xi opened his eyelids and glanced at Old Madam Shen and the six beautiful daughters-in-law behind her.
When he saw the widow of the Shen family, Xuanyuan Xi was in a trance and could hardly take his eyes off her.
It was the first time he discovered that the widow of the Shen family was so beautiful.
"You stupid dog!"
Lu Man put her hands on her hips and pointed at Xuanyuan Xi and cursed, "Where are you looking? I'll dig your eyeballs out."
Xuanyuan Xi's eyelids twitched, and he smiled coldly.
"Why, a dog dares to bark in front of its owner?"
"Bullshit!" Meng Yunfei glared at Xuanyuan Xi, "You tyrant king, you don't deserve it!"
Xuanyuan Xi looked arrogant and smiled contemptuously.
"Oh!"
"I knew that you, the Shen family, had long harbored rebellious intentions. I only regret that I was too lenient with you and didn't kill all of the Shen family members earlier!"
"What a bunch of thieves, a den of snakes and rats!"
"Bullshit!" Lu Man cursed angrily, "If it weren't for you, a tyrant, for pressuring me, my seventh brother wouldn't have done such a thing."
"If you don't leave the Shen family a way out, you don't deserve to be the emperor!"
"Yes!" Cao Huixian's face trembled, and she stared at Xuanyuan Xi with round eyes.
"My husband is devoted to his country, yet you wrongly accuse him. You are a tyrant!"
"Haha!!" Xuanyuan Xi laughed with his head raised.
He stood up by the wall, opened his arms, raised his head and shouted angrily,
"The entire Great Celestial Empire belongs to me. If I say someone is guilty, then he is guilty."
Xuanyuan Xi narrowed his eyes and looked at the women of the Shen family viciously.
"If the ruler wishes his subjects to die, they must die. Don't you even have this much awareness?"
"If everyone in the Great Celestial Empire were like the Shen family, wouldn't every official whose property was confiscated be willing to rebel?"
"If the Shen family hadn't harbored rebellious intentions long ago, how could they have taken over the capital so quickly?"
"I have not wronged your Shen family, the Shen family deserves to die!!!"
Xuanyuan Xi sneered and looked at Chen Yong who was following behind the female relatives.
"I only regret that I didn't kill Chen Yong directly, giving him a chance to turn things around."
"You're killing innocent people and you think you're right!!" Cheng Suihua looked at Xuanyuan Xi with a sullen face.
"If you are a wise ruler, why is it that no one in the court speaks up for you?!"
"You are incompetent and unjust, and everyone in the world knows it. If my Shen family doesn't take you down, someone else will."
"A foolish emperor is doomed to die!"
"Heh!" Xuanyuan Xi curled his lips and sneered, his eyes sweeping over the faces of everyone in the Shen family.
"So what if Shen Yong becomes the emperor?"
"After all, it's just making wedding clothes for others!"
"Haha, the Shen family is so stupid. They even married six daughters-in-law but still couldn't give birth to a child. Actually...Haha..."
Xuanyuan Xi raised his head and laughed wildly, tears of laughter streaming down his eyes.
"If a man with no descendants becomes the emperor, what's the difference between him and a eunuch, haha..."
"Beast!!!" Old Madam Shen roared,
"As the ruler of a country, you're not worthy of being a human being when you administer a drug that will kill your loyal ministers!"
If the dog emperor hadn't given his daughters-in-law a sterilizing drug, she would have had grandchildren by now.
