The guardianship of the imperial city was taken away, and even his nephew was arrested. Why didn't Wei Zhongxian appear?

But it turned out that he was summoning the core members of the eunuch party to discuss major events in the secret room of the East Factory Yamen in the outer palace of the imperial city. This was a major event to kill the nine clans, so Wei Zhongxian strictly ordered no one to approach the secret room. He arranged ten large stalls dozens of steps outside the secret room to let them stay there and supervise each other. Anyone who approached would be killed without mercy.

He thought that at most he would discuss the hour. In such a short time, no matter how it was outside, he would not make any mistakes, so he also specifically explained to the big guards outside that he would not disturb them in anything.

There are only five tigers, five blews, and ten dogs who can go to the secret room to discuss major events, among which the five tigers are:

Minister of War and Left Commander Cui Chengxiu (the title of Minister of War has just been dismissed);

Minister of Works and Right Censor Wu Chunfu;

The left assistant minister of the Ministry of War and the right deputy censor of the Censor of Tian Ji;

Ni Wenhuan, the censor of the Taipu Temple Office;

Li Kuilong, the left deputy commander, was appointed as the commander of the commander.

The five Biao are:

The left governor of the Governor's Office of the Five Army, Tian Ergeng, commander of the Jinyiwei;

Sun Yunhe, the right governor of the Governor's Office of the Five Army;

Xu Xianchun, the commander of the Jinyiwei, was the assistant commander of the Jinyiwei;

Cui Yingyuan, the chief of the Jinyiwei;

Yang Huan, the assistant minister of the Jinyiwei.

Shigou is a group of important officials of the court headed by Zhou Yingqiu, Minister of Personnel. I will not describe them in detail here.

After everyone sat down, Wei Zhongxian, who was in the throne, spoke: "This time, the emperor asked Sun Chengzong, the old dog, to take the position of Chengxiu, and even appointed him as the chief minister of the cabinet. What does it mean? Let everyone tell us your opinion."

When everyone heard this, they sat there silently, thinking, but no one spoke.

Wei Zhongxian didn't have the patience. He directly said to the leader of the Five Tigers Cui Chengxiu: "Chengxiu has removed your position this time, so you can talk about it first."

When Cui Chengxiu heard this, she had to bite the bullet and guess: "I think the emperor is preparing for the prince's ascending the throne. After all, the prince is only five years old. If the military power is not in his hands, few people will listen to what he said."

Wei Zhongxian thought so, but he always felt that the emperor was not just thinking this way, so he said to Wu Biao's boss Tian Ergeng: "Engeng, what do you think?"

Tian Ergeng replied simply, "The emperor is afraid he wants to shake the mountain and shake the tiger. I guess he wants us to be honest in the future."

Wei Zhongxian nodded, and it seemed that this was reasonable. He said to Zhou Yingqiu, the leader of the ten-dog, again: "Yingqiu, your head is the best. Do you think the emperor means this?"

Zhou Yingqiu hesitated for a moment when he heard this, but gritted his teeth and replied: "I think the emperor wants you to retreat bravely."

Wei Zhongxian was stunned when he heard this, frowned and asked, "Retreat bravely? What's the point?"

Zhou Yingqiu explained: "The Ministry of War is our foundation. The emperor will be rebelled as soon as he says it. He also raised our arch-rival Sun Chengzong. The meaning is very obvious. Those who know the truth quickly retreated. If they don't retreat, let Sun Chengzong deal with us."

Wei Zhongxian was a little dissatisfied, and he snorted: "Hmph, Sun Chengzong dealt with us? Are he the Jinyiwei and Dongchang decorations under the command of the Sa family?"

Zhou Yingqiu shook his head and sighed: "Oh, we have only controlled less than 20,000 troops in total, and most of them have been transferred to various places for surveillance. Sun Chengzong randomly transferred a few troops from the guards to come over, and we can't resist it."

When Wei Zhongxian heard this, his face changed in fear and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, what should I do?"

Zhou Yingqiu replied in a yin and yin manner: "In ancient times, there was a 'handling emperor to command the princes', and for the sake of the present, the only way to write articles on the prince."

Although Wei Zhongxian was illiterate, he had heard of the allusion of "handling the emperor to command the princes" and he slapped and said, "Yes, as long as we hold the prince in our hands, we can do whatever we want."

He is worthy of being the think tank of the eunuch party and the dog-headed military advisor. Everyone gave thumbs up and praised Zhou Yingqiu's brilliant plan.

Zhou Yingqiu gave in and reminded him: "No further ado, if Sun Chengzong was asked to transfer the Tunwei to the capital, we would have no chance."

After hearing this, Wei Zhongxian stood up immediately and said seriously: "Ying Qiu is right. Now let's go to the palace to arrange it. Everyone should be separated."

Everyone bowed and stood up. The two people near the door hurriedly opened the door of the secret room with great sincerity. Everyone stood there respectfully waiting for Wei Zhongxian to go first.

Wei Zhongxian enjoyed the feeling of the stars holding the moon. He carried his hands on his back, held his head and chest out of the secret room. After walking for less than two steps, a Jinyiwei Qianhu ran up and knelt in front of him and said in panic: "Master Qiansui, no, the Jinyiwei and the Master Luo Yangxing led people to drive away all the guards of our imperial city, saying that he was taking over the guards of the imperial city under the order. He also took the opportunity to arrest Wei Liangqing and Lord Wei, saying that Lord Wei disobeyed the imperial edict and contradicted Guan!"

Wei Zhongxian was furious when he heard this, shook his hand and slapped the Qianhu, then pointed at his nose and cursed: "What are you doing? Are there four thousand Jinyiwei and Yi Qiandongchang's men everywhere in the imperial city? You won't let him do it together. Luo Yangyan has three heads and six arms?"

The Qianhu Sheng was slapped and continued to say in panic: "Master Qiansui, you can't do it. He brought the 40,000 to 50,000 Jinyiwei and rushed in from the left gate of Chang'an. We only gathered more than 2,000 people there."

Wei Zhongxian was so angry that he kicked him over and shouted: "Do you think I am an idiot? Where did the 40,000 to 50,000 Jinyiwei come from in the capital?"

The Qianhu was afraid of hurting his feet, so he quickly fell to the ground and said aggrievedly: "Not 40,000 or 50,000, 20,000 or 30,000 are always there, and there are several miles long on Chang'an Street."

Wei Zhongxian was still waiting to kick him a few times. Zhou Yingqiu quickly pulled him and advised: "Master Qiansui, please calm down, calm down, now is not the time to deal with this slave, we have to make a long-term plan."

Wei Zhongxian was stunned when he heard this. Yes, the guards of the imperial city have been replaced. If he blatantly goes to hold the prince hostage, wouldn’t he seek death?

He took a breath, pointed at the Qianhu and cursed: "Get out of the house and wait until we have finished discussing it before we will deal with you."

The Qianhu quickly got up and retreated quickly. A group of core figures of the eunuch party returned to the secret room, closed the door, and continued to discuss.

Wei Zhongxian heard that his nephew was arrested and was so anxious that he said to Zhou Yingqiu directly: "Yingqiu, what should I do? Then Luo Yangxing is a mortal enemy of us."

Zhou Yingqiu said in a yin and yin manner: "I still have to write an article on the prince."

Wei Zhongxian couldn't understand and asked: "The guards of the imperial city have been replaced. If we go to hold the prince hostage, wouldn't that give Luo Yangxing an excuse to deal with us?"
