On the day they were plotting, unusual movements also occurred in the capital.
"You bold eunuch! How dare you break into my bedroom! Where do you get the guts!" The old queen mother's face was full of wrinkles, almost squeezed together, and her voice was full of anger.
Eunuch Li, with his hands behind his back, sneered, "The Emperor has issued an order."
The Queen Mother was startled, and the ladies-in-waiting and maids in her palace all looked sideways, but no one knelt. Indeed, outsiders might still play a trick on this puppet emperor, but the Queen Mother did not have the leisure to do so. The servants in her palace themselves also looked down on this emperor.
"Sima Rui caused chaos in the harem, poisoned the queen, and disregarded the will of heaven and human ethics. He deserves death. Considering that she is the empress dowager, he should be detained first and a decision will be made later!" Eunuch Li finished reading and stretched out his hand to hand it over, "Please accept the imperial edict?" The imperial edict slowly fell to the ground.
"You!" The Queen Mother clutched her chest, nearly fainting from anger. "How dare he issue such an order? He's nothing but a scoundrel!"
"Insulting the Emperor is a crime of aggravated severity." Eunuch Li said calmly, "Also, oral order: none of the ladies-in-waiting in the Empress Dowager's chambers shall be spared."
"Rebellion! Someone come!" the Queen Mother shouted.
Eunuch Li smiled and stopped her, "Queen Dowager, please stop shouting. From today on, the Imperial Guards will obey the Emperor's orders."
"What?" The Queen Mother looked incredulous.
"Get started." Eunuch Li waved his hand, and the eunuchs behind him rushed forward. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that these eunuchs were really good at fighting! And their moves were ruthless. Almost in one encounter, all the female officials in the palace were killed.
Two eunuchs held up the empress dowager, and Eunuch Li stepped forward, picked up the imperial edict and stuffed it into her mouth to block her wails.
"take away."
The Right Guard of the Imperial Guard, the leader here is also a direct descendant of the Sima family. At this moment, he is drinking and cursing, cursing the unlucky Zheng Tai and Wei Xun. After General Wang was killed by Sima Cheng, Zheng Tai temporarily took charge of the Imperial Guard, but he was ostracized because he was a member of the Second Young Master's faction.
Even that loser Wei Xun got promoted three levels. I don’t know what kind of luck he has.
Just as he was cursing, the door was suddenly pushed open.
"What? Do you care even if I curse at you? Who is so blind..." Before he could finish his words, he felt his field of vision changed. With a muffled sound, he saw his feet. Why was he so sure? This pair of shoes was newly made by him and he hadn't paid for it yet.
Wei Xun strode into the room, took a look at the beheaded fellow, and showed the imperial edict in his hand: "From now on, I will command the Right Guard!"
Meanwhile, in the Xishan camp outside the capital, the news that the general had fallen off his horse and died spread throughout the barracks. Looking at the passionate deputy general, the soldiers said nothing. They just had to obey orders anyway.
The newly appointed Imperial City Administrator led a team to guard the Meridian Gate, waiting for the emperor's order, and not far away was the body of the previous Imperial City Administrator.
Fu Hai considerately put a cloak on Fang Zhiyi who was standing on the inner wall of the palace looking out.
"Fuhai, are you curious about why I asked you to deliver a letter before?" Fang Zhiyi suddenly spoke.
Fu Hai shuddered and lowered his head: "Master, I'm not curious."
"You are a person with many ideas. How can you not be curious?"
