Chapter 141: Several Arrows

A single arrow through the clouds, thousands of troops will meet.

When the dazzling fireworks bloomed in the quiet night sky of Kyoto, even if it was only a moment, it shocked many people's hearts.

The internal cleaning of the imperial guards was the first to start. Without long, the eldest prince successfully mastered all his strength and stayed in Kyoto with about 3,000 imperial guards, and since then it became the strongest military force to guard the imperial city.

At the same time, the subordinates of the Supervision Bureau lurking in the darkness also saw this firework. They showed their bodies from the darkness and began to move towards their respective goals.

The Ministry of Justice's Great Organs have always been gloomy, especially on such a night. In the quiet, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded outside the Ministry of Justice. The officers in charge of the night watch the movement outside the yamen in surprise, and then were shocked to find that a large number of people wearing black official uniforms were pressing towards the Ministry of Justice.

The officers' faces were pale and immediately rang a gong to warn, intending to wake up the men in the Ministry of Justice and the prison guards behind the Ministry of Justice. But they themselves immediately retreated to the Ministry of Justice because they knew that these black official uniforms were official reports of the Supervision Bureau, and that they were definitely not opponents of the other party.

The warning sound came out, and all the subordinates of the Ministry of Justice rushed to the rear. Everyone knew that the prison of the Ministry of Justice was the top priority, because the prince did not dare to put the civil officials who opposed his ascension to the throne in the Heavenly Prison of the Supervision Bureau, and they were all imprisoned here. Although these people were just prisoners in the Ministry of Justice, they were in the court, and even the Queen Mother was afraid of two-point ministers.

There was not much terrifying fight, just a few terrible shouts and a noise, the team of about 300 people from the Supervision Institute entered the depths of the Ministry of Justice and rushed to the large square.

The officers of the Ministry of Justice and the guards of the prison were surrounded by officials of the Supervision Bureau, and the chief officer of the Ministry of Justice, who was dressed in dishevelled, couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he watched this scene.

The number of people on both sides was similar, and it seemed to be a fight. However, like the commander of the Imperial Guard, this man dared not go home. He only dared to guard the Heavenly Prison in the Ministry of Justice, but he could not have any idea of ​​resisting.

Because the men in black were holding crossbows in their hands, because the other party was the official of the Supervision Bureau that Qingguo officials feared the most, because the Secretary of State knew that since the Supervision Bureau dared to act so rampantly, that Lord Fan must have started to set off a bloody storm within Kyoto.

The power of the Supervisory Office is still there, and Fan Xian's dark name shocked everyone's hearts. Without the help of the Princess, not many people dared to confront this team head-on.

What's more, he heard that a fireworks arrow sounded in the palace. Then, when he woke up in panic, he clearly heard the sound of killing in the imperial city rushing towards the sky and trembling in the sky.

He didn't know that it was the operation of the imperial guards, but he knew that there was a change in the imperial city.

There were some dead bodies lying in the field. The official led by the Supervision Office looked at the besieged Minister of Justice with cold eyes, and said word by word: "I came to pick up the old ministers and the prince's military orders in accordance with the orders of the Empress Dowager and the Prince to get them out of prison. Please ask the Minister of the Shangshu to hand over it."

Transfer? No. This is a prison robbery, but the Minister of Justice trembled and did not dare to scold him, because last night, a minister who was his left and right hand, died in this yamen hall without knowing what happened. No one knew how the minister died, and the minister did not want to become the second unjust ghost.

If you surrender, is there a way out? The torch made the face of the Minister of Justice a bit strange.

It seemed that he had guessed his thoughts. The leading inspector's official stared in his eyes and said, "The Queen Mother said that if anyone who follows the rebellion truly repents, he will not blame him."

The Minister of Justice smiled bitterly. Even the empress dowager's order was brought out. It seems that Duke Danbo has controlled the palace. There has been no news from the eldest princess. I am afraid there will be problems. When this trend is over, why should I support it?

But in a blink of an eye, he suddenly thought that if the battle in the palace had not been resolved, Fan Xian did not have the upper hand. If he surrendered easily like this, how could he explain to the prince and the eldest princess afterwards?

The Minister of Justice gritted his teeth and his eyes were constantly changing.

The inspector's official looked at him coldly, no longer communicated with him, and slowly raised his right hand. Hundreds of inspector's officials around him raised their crossbows, some pulled out iron drills, and began to prepare to attack the thick gate of the Ministry of Justice Prison.

"Three tones." The official of the Supervision Bureau counted expressionlessly: "Three, two..."

"Stop!" The Minister of Justice was finally overwhelmed by the monotonous counting and shouted: "Stop! I want the words of Danbo Gong!"

A mocking smile appeared on the corner of the lips of the official of the Supervision Bureau. When the crisis occurred, the Minister of Justice was frightened and the person had not yet become demented. He knew that the Queen Mother's will was just a broken paper, and what could really save his life was Lord Tisi's wish.

He took out a document that had been prepared from his arms and threw it over.

The Minister of Justice picked it up from the ground, and then he lit the light of the ground. He looked at the document and confirmed that it was an edict written by Lord Xiao Fan himself.

I don’t know when this edict was written or prepared, but it clearly stated that the eldest princess and His Highness conspired to collude with assassins from Dongyi City and Northern Qi to assassinate His Majesty on Dadong Mountain! All the charges are very clear. Later, it also wrote that Yan Xiaoyi, the Grand Governor of the Northern Camp, was involved in the plot to rebel, and was killed by Fan Xian himself!

The charge was not the key, and the Minister of Justice was concerned about the last words. Seeing the end, his expression finally eased a little. In this document called "Repeated Edict to Defend Rebellion", there were about 400 words in total. In the last 100 words, it was clearly written that some ministers in the court were deceived by Li Chengqian. If they repent and make contributions to the new destiny, they would not blame them.

The Minister of Justice held the imperial edict and was trembling. There was no seal of the empress dowager on the imperial edict, but it contained the seal of His Majesty!

The most important thing is that Fan Xian’s handwritten handwriting is the most important aspect!

The Minister of Justice knew that at this moment, no seal could match Fan Xian's pen, and he believed that Fan Xian was not a person who broke his promise.

His face became more and more pale. He glanced at the officials of the Ministry of Justice, who had been plucking up courage but had a look of earth, sent a guard to guard the Ministry of Justice. He lowered his head, knelt in front of the inspector's official, and said sadly: "I... confess my guilt."

Disarming, finger binding, and leashing, all the armed forces of the Ministry of Justice were controlled in a very short time. However, this group of teams left some face to Lord Shangshu. But except for him, he had no official uniforms and black shiva.

All kinds of swords, guns and sticks were piled in the corner, and all the officials of the Ministry of Justice were specially made by the Inspectorate's Office of Steel Fingers, and the finger suites were wrapped together by strong hemp ropes, just like a string of grasshoppers waiting to be fried during the famine in the elderly.

All these actions seem particularly familiar and fast, because the yamen of the Supervision Bureau, from the first day of its birth, has been using these means to deal with various departments in the huge state machine of the Qing State.

Therefore, it cannot be said that the Minister of Justice is cowardly and timid, and that the Ministry of Qing State is too useless. It has been many years since the horror of the Supervisory Office has been deeply rooted in the hearts of all Qing State officials. Just like natural enemies, officials faced these men in black and could not have the courage to resist.

The terrifying royal secret service agency of the Supervision Bureau, after Emperor Qing returned to heaven and Chen Pingping was poisoned, became the sharpest blade in Fan Xian's hands.

While handling the remaining affairs of the Ministry of Justice, the two heavy tight doors of the Ministry of Justice had already been opened. The officials of the Supervision Bureau entered and sent out many people to help forty or fifty officials who looked embarrassed.

The officials' uniforms were not peeled off, but they were beaten to pieces, which shows how hasty and chaotic it was for the prince to arrest these officials in the Tai Chi Hall that day.

Many officials were unable to walk after being tortured. With the support of these officials of the Supervision Bureau, they moved out of the gate of the Ministry of Justice's prison dying.

The leading official of the Supervision Institute stared. He quickly stepped forward, knelt in front of the officials on one knee, gave a heavy salute, and said in a deep voice: "Murong Yan, the chief clerk of the Second Division of the Supervision Institute, is here to welcome all the lords, thank you for your hard work."

The civil servants who were helped out looked at the inspector's official wearing black official uniforms and couldn't help but feel mixed feelings and couldn't say anything.

Murong Yan did not get up. Instead, he bowed solemnly to the two leading officials and whispered: "Mr. Tisi ordered the officials to thank the two Grand Secretary on their behalf."

Yes, these two officials were brave enough to attack in the Tai Chi Hall. The two first-rank ministers who forcibly prevented the prince from ascending the throne, the Grand Secretary, the Grand Secretary, the Grand Secretary, and the Grand Secretary of the Secretariat, and the Grand Secretary of the Shu Wu.

Shu Wu still had a wound on his face. He sighed at the official. He did not have much joy of escaping from birth, but some were just deep concerns about the situation in Kyoto. He knew Fan Xian's temperament. Since he was risking to rob the prison tonight, there would be chaos in the palace. Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I don't know how many relatives of Your Majesty will die in this storm.

Grand Secretary Hu smiled and said, "Mr. Dan Bo is wrong. I didn't help him. How can I get the word "Than"?"

Murong Yan was stunned when she heard this.

Before we could tell the detailed situation in the palace, ten carriages had already arrived outside the Ministry of Justice, and the injured ministers were taken to the car and then headed into the palace. The situation in Kyoto is still very dangerous, and these ministers who have just escaped from the prison cannot return home for the time being.

Seeing those carriages under the protection of the Supervision Bureau and walking along the long street towards the palace, Murong Yan stood at the entrance of the punishment department and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although there were still many things to be dealt with in the judiciary department behind him, his heart had calmed down.

He was the chief clerk of the Second Department and was originally responsible for intelligence induction, but during this incident in the Supervision Bureau, Lord Xiaoyan was given the task of attacking the Ministry of Justice. Perhaps his calmness was his attention.

It is not difficult to attack the Ministry of Justice. The difficulty is to rescue the adults in the prison intact. Murong Yan is very clear about this, otherwise Lord Tisi would not have distributed hundreds of people to him without such a small number of people in Kyoto.

The specific task was issued by Yan Bingyun, but Fan Xian personally drafted it. Regarding the Ministry of Justice, Fan Xian issued a death order, and was required to ensure the safety of the two great ministers, Hu Shu and those civil officials.

Because he knew that if these civil officials who were not afraid of death had not attacked the Tai Chi Hall and forced the prince to ascend the throne, the government would be in chaos and Kyoto would be difficult to stabilize. It would be difficult for him to find an opportunity and successfully break into the palace.

These civil officials who seem to have no power except for speaking out and giving advice are the great heroes of Fan Xian's actions. Fan Xian borrowed bones from these ministers to ensure that their bones are intact. This is gratitude and a faint guilt.

Fireworks were moving, and thousands of people came out. When the Ministry of Justice prison was opened, the Kyoto Prefecture, which seemed even more difficult to attack, was now open, with bright lights, and looked very strange.

Kyoto Prefecture is responsible for Kyoto's public security, and has a large number of yamen runners under his command. When the fireworks arrow sounded in the imperial city, Sun Jingxiu, the second-rank minister, with a solemn face, walked into the main hall with a heavy expression.

The subordinate, who was puzzled by the fact that the incident happened, looked at the prefect in a dumbfounded manner, thinking that it was such a night. Why is Lord Sun still wearing a full set of official uniforms?

After a few breaths, footsteps came like thunder. Sun Jingxiu glanced at his subordinates with a complicated expression, sighed with great regret, and ordered his subordinates to open the gate of Kyoto Prefecture.

As soon as the gate opened, officials from the Supervision Bureau entered one after another. With the eyes of the Kyoto Prefecture officials who were celebrating each other, they occupied a favorable position in the main hall and surrounded Sun Jingxiu in the middle.

As soon as the black official uniforms were separated, one person came out of the middle. It was Mu Tie, the leader of the Supervision Bureau. The iron-faced official looked at Sun Jingxiu coldly and asked, "Sir, please come and ask, "Sir, have you thought about it?"

Sun Jingxiu sighed again, and after struggling for a while, his legs seemed to be weak suddenly. He knelt on the ground with a bang and whispered: "I know my crime. I dare not beg my grandfather for forgiveness."

As soon as this scene came out, the whole scene was full of shock, and everyone was extremely shocked. They didn't understand why the prefect, who had always accepted the order of the empress dowager and had been desperately arresting Fan Xian in Kyoto, surrendered without any resistance when the inspectors came to the door!

Mu Tie's face was still as iron as iron, as if he was unmoved. However, he was also extremely shocked. He received his order today to stabilize Kyoto Prefecture. He thought he was going to face the most tragic battle in his life, but unexpectedly, Yan Bingyun just gave a light command and let him come like this.

As soon as I entered Kyoto Prefecture, I saw the light of Man Mansion. Mu Tie thought he was in a vain, but unexpectedly, the situation was astonishing as Lord Xiaoyan said, and it was surprisingly smoothly!

Sun Jingxiu knelt on the ground, his face was extremely bleak, and he held the black shisha in his left hand, thinking in his heart that he was forced to do so. Not to mention whether Kyoto Prefecture could resist the Supervisory Office, the conversation with the young man in white in front and back gardens really left him with no way out and could only surrender!

It was not until tonight that he realized that Fan Xian had been hiding in his mansion for several days. The Kyoto change started the site, which was in his backyard and his daughter's room!

This time, there were 400 people who used Kyoto Prefecture documents to sneak into Kyoto!

As long as this matter is exposed, no matter how I perform tonight, I will definitely not tolerate His Royal Highness and the eldest princess. In that regard, I will definitely think that I am a spy on Fan Xian's side.

So he had no choice but to make a difficult decision and turn to Fan Xian in a comprehensive way. Anyway, someone who would be considered a little Fan would simply become a little Fan and at least he could survive.

The future and safety...Pin'er should be able to speak for herself, right?

When Sun Jingxiu thought of this, he couldn't help but his blood and almost fainted in anger. The documents and guards of the assassins in the palace entered the capital were sent out from his study. Apart from the girl Pin'er, who else could pretend to be his handwriting and use his official seal secrets, and he would not be suspected by his subordinates!

He will never have a daughter in his next life, and his daughter's elbows are always crooked out. Sun Jingxiu, the prefect of Kyoto, was forced to rebel, thought in his heart with great sorrow.

Shortly after the battle in the imperial city ended, the brigade of imperial guards forcibly broke into the harem from the main gate. In front of more than a thousand soldiers like tigers and wolfs, the guards and eunuchs who were already in wisely chose to surrender. Even if some tough people were just dead bodies under the imperial guards' sweep.

The harem temporarily returned to quiet, and the neat footsteps could be heard vaguely, and the crackling sounds of armor collisions.

Fan Xian pushed open the gate of the East Palace with a gloomy face, leaving the Tugong swordsman who was stationed here outside the palace, looking at the dead bodies along the way, and walked into the newly restored palace.

In Hanguang Hall, Fan Xian was very calm, but only he knew how disappointed he was deep in his heart. If he did not catch the prince and the eldest princess, he would tear a big hole in his plan.

It may never be able to repair a hole.

He looked at the eunuchs and palace maids who were cringing around, and after a while, he lowered his head silently, as if he could hear the sound of horse hooves outside the distant palace wall.

He knew this was auditory hallucination, but he believed that the speed of the eldest prince's march was basically controlled. Since the palace had basically been controlled, he must have divided the brigade and began to advance towards the depth of Kyoto, trying to control a larger range, but he would be careful not to contact the Thirteen City Gate Division to make fire. The eldest prince, like him, would not hold back since he had taken action. The Imperial Guard and the Supervisory Office were desperately pursuing the traces of the prince and the eldest princess in Kyoto.
