Chapter 176 One night fish and dragon dance
The dark night is deep, and Xu Youzhen's mansion in Dong'anmen Square is deep.
A team of soldiers guarding an official and walked lightly towards the Xu Mansion gate. The official looked solemn and went forward and knocked on the Xu Mansion gate.
The side door opened, and the sleepy door walked out muttered. The official hurried forward and started talking to him. The door nodded, closed the side door and left.
Before long, the side door opened and several people led the official into the Xu Mansion. The lights along the street began to light up slowly, just as the entire Xu Mansion was suddenly disturbed by the outsider and slowly awakening.
The official didn't wait long in the side hall. Xu Youzhen, who looked angry, walked in from outside. Judging from his appearance, he probably had just fallen asleep and was called out by the news.
"Have the news been sent to Wenyuan Palace?"
Xu Youzhen looked at the prefect of Shuntian under the steps: "At this time, Master Li should be on duty. You should send the news to the cabinet immediately. Wouldn't it be delayed when you come to me?"
"The cabinet is the cabinet, and the cabinet is the cabinet!"
The prefect of Shuntian in front of him replied seriously: "Of course, the official should come to report to the prefect of the Pavilion Master immediately. There is also news from the Shuntian Prefecture in Wenyuan Palace. However, if you can decide this matter immediately, the official thinks that the only prefect is the prefect!"
"Enter the palace and go to Wenyuan Palace!" Xu Youzhen did not take such low-level flattery as the other party, but this person could inform him of such news, and his willingness to welcome him is understandable.
However, this matter is too much to do, and he is not in the mood to give him a good look.
Wenyuan Pavilion was the place where the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty was held. After the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne, Xie Jin, Hu Guang, Yang Rong and others were sent to the Meridian Gate to attend the Wenyuan Pavilion and participate in the maintenance service. It was called the cabinet. It was the beginning of the cabinet. The Ming Dynasty had a vast territory and a lot of affairs. No matter when, from the date of its establishment, there would be one or more cabinet ministers on duty in the Wenyuan Pavilion.
The one on duty tonight is Li Xian, the Grand Secretary of the Huagai Palace.
When Xu Youzhen hurried into Wenyuan Pavilion with his people, Li Xian, who had already received the news, was already waiting for him with a serious look on his face. The news from Shuntian Prefecture had arrived at Wenyuan Pavilion before a stick of incense. In such a short time, no matter what Li Xian had, he had not had time to implement it.
"Wen Xu!"
Li Xian didn't have time to greet Xu Youzhen and said directly: "Is the news confirmed?"
"It should be no mistake. When I came, I had sent several waves of people to inquire about the news. What exactly do these guys want to do?" Xu Youzhen sat down: "According to Shuntian Mansion, at least there were thousands of soldiers fighting, and countless casualties were killed or injured. The people around him had already scattered and fled!"
"Do you want to transfer the Beijing camp to suppress the bullet?" Li Xian asked. He didn't ask what the battle was the reason for the two sides, nor who the two sides were the battle. He just knew that at the feet of the emperor and in this capital, such chaos must not be allowed to last until dawn.
Tonight, this is called chaos, but at dawn, it is called mutiny, war disaster, or even mutiny.
"I inform the Ministry of War and mobilize the Shenji Camp. No, the Shenji Camp is too static. Mobilize a guard of the Five Military Camps to go to the Fushi Office of the Jinyiwei South Town in the West to suppress this mutiny!"
Xu Youzhen nodded without hesitation and said, "You should prepare the documents. I will ask you to see Your Majesty and tell Your Majesty about this! When I come back, I will issue it!"
Li Xian nodded, turned around and rushed to the copywriting, and began to draft the document notifying the Ministry of War. Xu Youzhen glanced at him and headed outside without saying a word.
The cabinet can handle specific matters in detail, but if it is not possible to report to the emperor and ask the emperor to make a decision, it is abusing power. Xu Youzhen does not have the courage to do so.
What was his mood when he was shouted out from the bed by the people of Shuntian Mansion? What was his mood when Zhu Qizhen was called out by the internal officials. Unlike Xu Youzhen, Zhu Qizhen had been worried for too many years, and had a stronger feeling and reaction to being woken up in the middle of the night than others.
"Your Majesty, something happened tonight..."
Xu Youzhen was very eloquent. In a few words, he explained the things reported by Shuntian Mansion clearly, and said his response and reaction in a variety of ways: "I think no matter what the reason for this incident happened, the confrontation and fighting among the soldiers of the Qianjinyiwei was no longer an ordinary matter. The most urgent task is to mobilize the Beijing camp to force the force. Otherwise, the night is dark and chaotic, and it will inevitably be out of control. At that time, the capital city will be in chaos, and all kinds of sluts will be moved. Even among the Beijing camp and the army, there are still people who are ready to move! "
"Are you just a member of the Jinyiwei?" Zhu Qizhen looked even more calm than Xu Youzhen: "Are anyone involved in the rest of the Beijing guards?"
"This is unknown for the time being!" Xu Youzhen answered honestly: "I have sent someone to check the situation, and there should be a response soon!"
"When the news is indeed true, go and handle it immediately!" Zhu Qizhen glanced at him, with great dissatisfaction in his eyes: "In addition, Shenji Camp and Sanqian Camp will be transferred to the Tengxiang Four Guards' Terminal to beware of abnormal movements!"
"I obey the order!"
"All the troops and soldiers of the Beijing Army and the squad shall not act rashly except for the Ministry of War transfer order and my order. From the time of receiving the order, more than ten people will leave the camp, which will be considered as a rebellion!"
"I obey the order, let's do it now!"
"Wait!" Zhu Qizhen called him: "The person who goes to the battalions and guards to send the orders will be dispatched by Xu Chengzu, the commander of the palace. Your cabinet and the Ministry of War will jointly manage and cooperate, and there must be no mistakes!"
Xu Youzhen nodded and rose up in response.
Zhu Qizhen stood slightly for a while and slowly spoke to the outside: "Tell me how to Cao Jixiang!"
The chief minister of the cabinet hurried into the palace in the middle of the night. Cao Jixiang had no idea. Although he didn't know what happened, he also put on his clothes and was always ready to be summoned.
As soon as the emperor's legend arrived, he appeared in front of the emperor almost in a very short time.
"How many people are available to you at the moment?" The emperor looked at the night outside the palace gate with his hands behind his back, as if he was talking to the air.
"When you go back to your Majesty, there are more than 200 people available at this moment. After one hour, there can be more than 500 people. By dawn, there can be more than 1,000 people available at the East Factory!"
"I want everyone from the Dongchang to spread out and keep an eye on Duke Zhongguo's Mansion. I don't care whether you have two hundred people, five hundred people or one thousand people. I want to know all the movements in Duke Zhongguo's Mansion tonight. I really need to know who is in and out of the way tonight, and how many people are so busy and busy this night to pay homage to Duke Zhongguo?"
"I'll do it now!" Cao Jixiang lowered his head and said.
"If Duke Zhong is going out tonight, you will bring him to see me!" Zhu Qizhen glanced at Cao Jixiang indifferently: "If you can't do it, don't come back to the palace!"
"I obey the order!" Cao Jixiang's body shook slightly and slowly retreated.
