The last thought flashed through his mind, and the light in the eyes of the Cui party confidant disappeared. Until his death, he still stared at Han Zhuowu with hatred.
At this point, he still didn't understand why this Mr. Han was the emperor's man?
However, Han Zhuowu seemed to turn a blind eye to this. At this time, he had calmly tidied his clothes, wiped the blood off the sword, and put the scabbard back.
He pulled out the fan stuck in his collar with his backhand, put his hands together and smiled at the captain and the others, saying: "Thank you all for your help, generals. I, Han, would like to express my gratitude!"
The captain and others were originally a little afraid of him, and even had some resistance to him.
But when they saw the man's elegant demeanor and heard the word "General", everyone instantly felt a surge of favor and responded with, "Ah! We dare not. We are just a group of gatekeepers. How dare we be called General?"
Han Zhuowu, however, unfolded his folding fan and shook his head, saying, "You are wrong.
It is often said that an official should serve as a member of the Imperial Guards. You are the emperor's closest ministers, so how can you be treated the same as ordinary outsiders? It doesn't matter if you underestimate yourselves, but you must not let this make outsiders look down on the emperor!
Hearing this, everyone subconsciously straightened their chests.
Suddenly, I felt that my image had become much taller, and the mission on my shoulders had suddenly increased.
They all bowed their heads and said, "Master, you are teaching us right. We were careless!"
Looking at Han Zhuowu again, he seemed much more pleasing to the eye.
I thought to myself, "This man must be one of the emperor's men. Otherwise, why would he protect us so much and treat us as his own?"
The captain, however, was somewhat alert and asked, "Sir, do you have any instructions for me?"
Han Zhuowu saw that he had completely gained the trust of these palace guards, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "No, to be honest, I was entrusted by Lord Wang Xuance to lurk in the Prime Minister's residence, and it has been a long time since I last saw your face!
I wonder how your Majesty is doing these days? Has anything major happened in the palace?"
He sighed "Ah", smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"oh."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. They didn't even think about whether Mr. Han was lying.
Of course, Han Zhuowu didn't lie.
He was indeed entrusted by Wang Xuance, and he had not seen Jun Rong for a long time.
It’s just that this “long time” is a bit long, it has to be counted from the moment he was born.
The officials thought that Mr. Han had to leave the emperor because he was hiding in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Subconsciously, I thought of him as someone like Liu Muzhi and Wang Xuance.
When she heard that he was asking about things in the palace, she didn't hide anything. Apart from some things that she had mentioned to her superiors, she told him everything else without reservation.
In less than a moment, Han Zhuowu already knew almost everything about the emperor's behavior in the past few months.
His eyes gleamed with a divine light, and his face was filled with emotion as he exclaimed from time to time, "Oh, I didn't expect so many things to happen in the palace. It's not easy for His Majesty, and it's not easy for you gentlemen either!"
"you do not say."
Everyone nodded, and then gnashed their teeth and said, "That old villain Cui Cen is simply too bullying. Our Majesty has been benevolent and magnanimous enough to leave all matters inside and outside the court to that old villain.
As a result, the world has been messed up by them. What's wrong with Your Majesty scolding him? Can't the emperor scold treacherous ministers?
These bastards actually dared to come and force the emperor to abdicate. This is too much!"
After the emperor took control of the inner court, these palace guards were naturally gradually replaced by his own people.
At this time, these palace guards and the emperor could be said to share the same honor.
Han Zhuowu saw that although these palace guards were not very capable, they were obviously loyal to the emperor.
Then he knew that the emperor had complete control over the Forbidden City.
Combined with the previous indirect information, he probably had guessed the emperor's arrangement.
He couldn't help but smile slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and as if he was answering the palace guards, "Gentlemen, there is no need to be like this. From today on, there will be no more Cui the thief..."
After saying this, his eyes turned towards the direction of Zichen Palace.
"I wonder what expressions Lu Qianjun and Guanyuejun would have when they see the Emperor's arrangements. I really want to go and see..."
Captain Sima Men was slightly surprised when he heard this.
Although he also guessed that the emperor would definitely fight back today, he also guessed that those who forced the emperor to abdicate would not have a good end.
But after today, there will be no more Cui thieves?
Hiss, is this true?
Listening to his soliloquy again, I couldn't help but ask, "Why, sir, aren't you going over?"
Han Zhuowu frowned slightly, then smiled and shook his head, "I'd rather not go. I don't like the sight of blood."
“…”
Everyone subconsciously looked at the bloodstains on his clothes...
Well, I really can’t tell.
But then, the captain couldn't help but ask with some concern: "Will there be any trouble?"
Although he didn't quite understand these court affairs.
But as the captain of the palace gate, it is impossible for him to be completely ignorant. How could he not know that the people of Cui's party were not ordinary people, and there were also those Taixue students. Even the emperor could not kill them casually... right?
Those scholars stick together very closely. By the way, what's called "the rabbit dies and the fox mourns"...
Han Zhuowu shook his head firmly and said, "No!"
It is true that scholars cannot be killed at will, but what if a group of so-called famous officials and scholars in the capital endorse it?
…
At the same time, Lu Qian, who had already arrived at the gate of Zichen Palace, had no idea that Mr. Han, whom he trusted without a doubt, had already sent away all his equally trusted confidants "safely"!
Right now, I'm getting along with the emperor's palace guards, well, in a general sense.
Even if he thought about it, he couldn't care less.
Because just as Han Zhuowu expected, at this moment both he and Tong Guanyue had extremely wonderful expressions on their faces.
They never expected that when they arrived at the Zichen Palace.
I actually saw a large dragon throne placed on the corridor outside the palace, and the emperor was sitting outside the palace door with a majestic horse and a golden sword.
This action made all the Cui party and Tai students, who were originally excited, slightly stunned.
What shocked them even more was that there were two rows of people standing on the steps in front of the emperor. All of them had white beards, and the youngest was probably in his forties or fifties.
According to the standards of this era, people in their forties or fifties are already considered elders.
Some students panicked on the spot.
The first person they saw was Feng Zhong, the Shaoqing of Taichang, whom they had just been scolding.
Although they were cursing the villain before, they were subconsciously afraid when they really saw it.
Don't forget that Feng Zhongke also serves as the chief academic officer of the Imperial College.
Although the current Imperial College and Imperial Academy of the Qin Dynasty are not subordinate to each other and have not been merged, they are two similar institutions that exist at the same time.
This is just like when Peking University students in later generations meet Tsinghua University professors. Although they can't control them, it is impossible to say that they are not afraid at all.
It would be fine if it was just Feng Zhong, but there is a group of people around him!
Those were all people they had tried their best to meet but were never able to.
And now, it's all in front of them!
