Imperial Palace
In the Imperial Garden
In early spring, all things come back to life.
Clusters of rare flowers and trees transplanted from all over the world are already lush and green.
In order to coincide with the empire's biggest festival, the birthday of Emperor Ming Jing, some flowers bloomed early with the help of secret techniques.
For a moment, the imperial garden was full of colorful flowers, and it was even more beautiful than the midsummer.
At this moment, in the pavilion on the east side of the Imperial Garden.
Two figures were sitting opposite each other playing chess.
On the left, wearing a bright yellow five-clawed dragon robe, is Ming Jing Emperor Xiao Ting. At this moment, he is holding a white piece suspended in the air with a thoughtful look on his face.
The person on the right, wearing a proper Yin-Yang Taoist robe, and his hair is also half black and half white. He is the old Yinbi Situ Wuming.
Behind them, the eunuch Chen Gonggong, who was in charge of writing and wearing a crimson robe, stood with his head bowed, watching his immediate superior kneeling in front of him.
He hunched over, not daring to move at all.
The calmer the lake surface, the greater the undercurrent in the lake.
Coupled with the explosive news brought by his godfather, Eunuch Huang,
The Ninth Prince actually wanted to mobilize the Imperial Guards to capture the rebels in the Imperial City?
Eunuch Chen’s mind was full of how dare he?
How dare he?
How long has it been since the blood on the steps in front of the Suzaku Gate dried?
The Ninth Prince is courting death!
therefore,
Since he couldn't get what his master was thinking at the moment, Eunuch Chen didn't dare to move at all.
"His Majesty...."
"I failed to persuade His Majesty the Ninth Prince. I deserve to die!"
Huang Jin knelt on the ground in the pavilion, saying "damn it" but his face was calm, without any fear at all.
"despair."
Emperor Ming Jing made a random move, glanced at Huang Jin and said, "Pour the tea!"
“Hey!”
Eunuch Chen's heart skipped a beat. When he heard Huang Jin's agreement, he quickly stepped forward and helped him up:
"Godfather!"
"Are you okay?"
In an instant, Huang Jin shook his head and pushed him away, then skillfully held the teacup closer to pour tea.
He looked so skilled, as if there was no such thing as a traitor.
Eunuch Chen was a little dumbfounded!
The master was not angry at all.
Not only was I not angry,
After hearing such explosive news, there was no reaction at all.
This completely overturned his three views.
"despair."
After Emperor Jing of Ming made his move, Situ Wuming, the head of the Imperial City Department, placed a black piece.
In an instant, Emperor Ming Jing showed a knowing smile:
"Hey, Senior Brother!"
"It looks like you're going to lose this time!"
Situ Wuming was silent for a moment, then continued, "Your Majesty has foreseen every possible plan. I am convinced of my defeat."
"But is Your Majesty so sure that the Ninth Prince will win?"
Emperor Ming Jing snorted and chuckled, saying complacently, "Of course I'm not sure, but I've sent the Imperial City Division to him!"
At this time, Situ Wuming showed a look of realization. He finally understood why Emperor Jing of Ming Dynasty ordered him to enter the palace early in the morning.
I'm afraid this has been the intention for a long time.
Thinking of this, he looked at Huang Jin.
The meaning is very clear. Why did Your Majesty make plans against Zhou Xuanbing in advance?
Huang Jin smiled and explained in a shrill voice:
"Zhou Xuanbing, the Marquis of Zuoxiang, has just become the Minister of War and has been very active."
"To sum it up, there are three things,"
"Either we push forward this year's military spending cuts,"
"Or we could thoroughly investigate the military records and rations left behind by the previous Minister of War, and try to find any illegal records during his time in office."
"And then there's this third thing, which is to set a trap for His Majesty the Ninth Prince under the guise of the Spring Hunt."
"First of all, I heard that the Minister of Revenue, Shangguan Yi, has taken leave and has not returned. Even if the Ministry of War drafts a bill and submits it to the Cabinet, it will not pass the review of the Ministry of Revenue."
"Secondly, I know that Master Ye Qing is upright and honest, having served three dynasties. He would never harbor any intention of corruption. Zhou Xuanbing will not gain anything from this."
"After all the calculations, this third option is the most suitable!"
"So, His Majesty took advantage of the situation and used His Majesty the Ninth Prince to warn Zhou Xuanbing, letting him know that factional disputes must not affect the empire's military affairs!"
"Especially....Southwest military spending!"
Eunuch Chen stood by and listened to the three giants chatting.
His heart was shaken.
He also didn't expect that some things had not yet happened.
The master already has a clear understanding of the overall situation in the imperial capital.
"However, His Highness the Ninth Prince is truly audacious, even daring to threaten this old servant by mobilizing the Imperial Guards."
"That brat has always been like this, otherwise I wouldn't have lost to my senior brother last time!!"
Eunuch Chen stood by and listened attentively. He looked up at Situ Wuming from time to time and found that his expression did not change at all.
At this time, a young eunuch in a green robe ran in hurriedly and whispered something in Eunuch Chen's ear.
For a moment, he was stunned!
Eunuch Chen hurried to the three giants and reported in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, something happened!"
"Duke Yingguo, Zhao Xianping, requested an audience. He accused the Ninth Prince of secretly leading people to arrest officials' wives, causing extremely negative consequences."
Emperor Ming Jing glanced at him, uttered an "oh", and said calmly: "I understand!"
These things did not surprise him at all.
He also understood the Ninth Prince!
Someone plotted against him.
Xiao Chen didn't fight back.
That's really not his character.
"Also, His Highness the Ninth Prince discovered someone smuggling demon blood in the residence of Lin Xiao, the deputy commander of the Divine Martial Guard!"
"When Lin Qinghou, the son of Lin Xiao, the deputy commander of the Divine Martial Guard, was defeated by Luo Wei, the commander of the Imperial City's Red Gold Division, it was discovered that he had absorbed the essence of the demon general White Python and was on the verge of breaking through to the Grandmaster realm!!"
