Xu Xianchun seemed to have seen nothing, knelt down and said, "My minister, Xu Xianchun, commanding the General Guard, pay homage to Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live, long live."

Emperor Tianqi said in a cold tone, "Xu Xianchun, tell me in detail about the situation of entering and leaving the city today."

Xu Xianchun calmed down. Although he was a senior official of the third rank and the deputy commander of the emperor's personal army, he did not talk to the emperor so closely. He glanced at Zhu Cheng and found that the little guy was talking to Zhu Youjian as if nothing had happened, and was not afraid of Emperor Tianqi being annoyed.

He told everything about what happened today. When Zhu Cheng attacked the servant who wanted to pick up the curtain, Emperor Tianqi praised him and turned to Zhu Cheng and asked, "Brother Cheng, why don't you shoot that bastard to death?"

Zhu Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "At first, I didn't expect that the Donglin Party would dare to rebel. I thought it was just a small dispute in the court. If I killed the Censor, the problem would be big and the emperor would cause trouble again."

Emperor Tianqi asked again: "What if it was the censor who went to pick the curtain?"

"Punished him with one shot. I remember an old saying that if you stop, you will suffer from chaos. If you open the curtain and reveal the truth, the trouble will be great. Instead of waiting for the Donglin Party to attack, it is better to eliminate the danger signs. The sky is great, and the emperor has the greatest affairs. It is amazing that I will come to the emperor to receive the punishment afterwards."

Emperor Tianqi nodded with a smile and said, "Brother Cheng, don't worry about doing things."

Zhu Cheng said: "The matter is very obvious. The Donglin Party has really committed a rebellion. What should the emperor do now?"

Emperor Tianqi gritted his teeth in hatred, slapped the table, and said angrily: "I want these traitors, I want, I want..."

He was about to say a few harsh words, but suddenly he remembered that the Donglin Party was spread all over the government and the people. If the court was arrested, the court would be empty. How could the Ming court still operate?

After thinking about it over and over again, he sat down dejectedly and sighed: "It's not easy to deal with. There are so many people, and you can't arrest them, and you can't close them. What should I do?"

"They have already begun to rebel, so do they still tolerate it? Do they really have to wait until they rush into the palace and change the dynasty before taking action?"

"Oh, I saw it very clearly during the court meeting this morning. Eighty-percent of the 100% of the officials in the Ming Dynasty were the Donglin Party. If they were caught in one go, how could they manage the world? It would be better if they were two or three years later. With Wei Zhongxian's ability, at least half of the officials in the foreign court were able to win over. At that time, there would be no pressure to deal with the Donglin Party."

Zhu Chengxin said: In history, the death fight between Wei Zhongxian and the Donglin Party did begin in the fourth year of the Tianqi period, but his sudden appearance caused the party struggle between the eunuch party and the Donglin Party to appear ahead of schedule.

"This is a difficult problem," Zhu Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "In the past, when Emperor Taizu Gao, there was a similar case, which was the case of Prime Minister Hu Weiyong's rebellion. There were more than 30,000 people involved. Did Emperor Taizu Gao continue to sentence him? At very moment, iron-blooded means must be taken. These Donglin Party members are a bunch of worms, always eating the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. If you don't take this opportunity to take them down, when will you wait?"

"But there is no one in the court, what should I do?"

"It's easy to deal with. Emperor Taizu Gao left an example. Emperor Taizu Gao fought against corruption, killed many officials, and sentenced many officials, and many prefectures had no official management. In order to solve the current situation of lack of officials in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao increased the number of admissions for the imperial examinations, and on the other hand, he asked many officials involved in the case to work with shackles, worked in the government office during the day, and then returned to prison at night. Some officials even took off their official clothes and accepted the trial after just after a case was tried."

"Where is the official's moral integrity?"

"Do they still have the moral integrity? A Jian, take us to the spy's words and give it to the emperor for the sake of the emperor."

Zhu Youjian remembered his mission to come to Beijing at this time, and quickly took out the confession of Jiannu spy Abutai from his arms.

While Emperor Tianqi looked, Zhu Youjian introduced the story with sharp teeth.

As he looked at it, Emperor Tianqi was furious and pulled the confession in half with his hands. After he finished tearing it, he remembered that this was important evidence and could not be destroyed. Then he looked at Zhu Youjian apologetically and said, "I was so excited that I accidentally tore it apart. Is there any backup?"

Zhu Youjian looked at him in amazement and shook his head, "There is only one, but the Jiannu robber is still locked in the imperial village in Jingxi. I will ask them to write one at that time. Brother Cheng's skills in forcing confession are very good, so it should not be difficult..."

Zhu Cheng took out a copy from his arms and said, "No need to be so troublesome. I have asked someone to copy one. I knew the emperor would tear off that one, so I prepared one more."

Emperor Tianqi took the confession and handed it to Wei Zhongxian, saying, "This matter is investigated by the East Factory. We must investigate it carefully, find out, and announce the world, so that the people of the world can see the behavior of these hypocrites."

Wei Zhongxian collected his confession and said, "I will definitely make this case a bad case."

Emperor Tianqi asked a little strangely: "How did you know that I would tear off my confession? Can you predict the future?"

"Where, the treason of these Donglin Party members will be angry as long as the Ming people with bloody nature. Your Majesty is the most bloody nature of Ming people. It would be strange if you are not angry."

"Oh, you said I am the most bloody Ming person, don't you flatter me?"

Zhu Cheng said seriously: "The ancestors of the Ming Dynasty are not married, no compensation, no cede land, no tribute, the emperor guards the country, and the king dies in the country. All the Ming Dynasty kings, whether now or in the future, are the most bloody Ming people, and are all men among men!"

Emperor Tianqi laughed and said, "Okay, I'll be strong and beat the Donglin Party in one go. Let's ask Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyiwei, to arrest people."

"Your Majesty, no?"

"Hey, Zhu Cheng, wasn't you said? Do you want to catch the Donglin Party in one place? Why are you opposed now?"

"The Donglin Party must be arrested, but Luo Sigong is probably not the best candidate."

"How can I see it?"

"This morning, Wei Zhongxian, the admiral of the Dongjishi Factory, urgently summoned Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyiwei, to discuss the matter of the Donglin Party's forced the palace, but he refused to go. Moreover, Luo Sigong has a very good reputation in the Donglin Party and is hailed as the best commander of the Jinyiwei since the Ming Dynasty."

Emperor Tianqi was furious: "Once you enter the Jinyiwei, you will be enemies with Shilin for your whole life. Otherwise, how can you investigate corrupt officials and arrest tainted officials? You need both the status of Jinyiwei and the reputation of Shilin. Luo Sigong has a good plan. Xu Xianchun, from now on, you will succeed as the commander of the Jinyiwei, arrest Luo Sigong into the imperial prison, and then carefully examine his collusion with the Donglin Party. However, after hearing from Emperor Shenzong Xian, Luo Sigong made extraordinary achievements in the war to the aid of the Korean War, so first, you should not harm his life, and secondly, you should not implicate his family. This is a reward for the Ming Dynasty to capable ministers."

After saying that, Emperor Tianqi grabbed his brush and wrote down the imperial edict. Wei Zhongxian carefully blew the ink, took out the jade seal, and covered it with a bright red seal.

Xu Xianchun held the imperial edict tightly, so excited that he didn't know what to say. Although he was the commander of the Jinyiwei, he had to go further and wait for Luo Sigong to die or fall. However, Luo Sigong was in good health and did not know that he would ask Emperor Taizu Gao to report his work until the year of the Monkey and Horses. Maybe he could have to waste himself to death first. Unexpectedly, Zhu Cheng drove Luo Sigong away in a few words and rushed into the imperial prison as soon as he rushed. Fortunately, his marriage with Wei Honglian was approved by him, otherwise he would have to say a few words to deal with him.

When Wei Zhongxian saw Xu Xianchun stunned, he reminded: "Commander Xu, why don't you thank me quickly."

Xu Xianchun was thanking him and was about to leave. Zhu Cheng said, "Let's go over the wall. The Donglin Party members are many, and you can't rush out. Also, Luo Sigong knew that the fall was over, and maybe he would jump over the wall. You took all the guards away. By the way, keep Wu Huping, and he would help me guard the musket."

As soon as Xu Xianchun walked to the door, Zhu Cheng called him again: "Wait, I'll write you a note. When you encounter trouble, open it and take a look."

As he said that, Zhu Cheng grabbed the brush that Emperor Tianqi placed on the table and started writing.

Everyone in the hall was almost glaring. What kind of pen is this? How can they move it at will?

Emperor Tianqi didn't care and laughed: "This is a brilliant plan? There is no secret bag. Okay, I'll give one."

As he said that, Emperor Tianqi took out a sachet and put Zhu Cheng's note in it.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Outside the hall, the captain of the guard was almost crying, and Wu Huping stared at him without blinking. Who can stand it? What's even more annoying is that he followed him when he went to the bathroom. Is this I monitored you or you monitored me? The captain of the guard questioned him, but Wu Huping didn't say a word and just looked at him.

Seeing Xu Xianchun come out, the captain of the guard hurriedly came forward to greet him. He heard that he was going out the same way, the captain of the guard quickly handed the musket to Wu Huping and said, "I'm afraid of you, I'll give you the musket first. Anyway, there is no bullet, and the gun cannot be fired. Just stay here and stop following me anymore, please."

In the hall, Emperor Tianqi asked, "Brother Cheng, the Donglin Party is all caught in one place. You can always go to court with me tomorrow."

Zhu Cheng shook his hand and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, please spare me. I'd better wait for the calm and come out. Master, I said that a knife is enough, let alone you have two knives now, one knives in the East Factory and one knives in the Jinyiwei, which is enough to make you kill all directions."

"Okay, then I won't force you. It's too late, so you and Ajian will stay in the palace to bed. You two are still children, so it's not good to stay up late."

"Okay, I'll visit Queen Mother Zheng tomorrow anyway. I haven't seen her for a few days. I miss her a lot."

"Brother Cheng, I'll go too." Zhu Youjian also remembered her.

That night, the palace was calm, and Emperor Tianqi removed the big stone in his heart and went to rest. However, the Jinyiwei Beizhenfu and Nanzhenfu Division outside the palace were extremely nervous and prepared for the arrest operation the next morning.
