Chapter 6 Cleaning up the thieves
"Flat!"
After glanced at everyone, Zhu Youxiao finally felt a little comforted.
The feeling of betrayal is very bad, but fortunately there are still some people available in this palace.
"Thank you for your kindness!"...
The little eunuchs stood up tremblingly, lowered their heads and eyebrows, and didn't even dare to show off their anger.
Everyone can't help but be afraid. Who wouldn't be afraid of seeing corpses on the ground in the middle of the night?
What's more, have none of them seen such a bloody eunuch?
"Xiao Xuanzi, send someone immediately to summon all eunuchs who are loyal to the royal family as soon as possible. Tonight, I will clean the inside and outside the palace!"
Zhu Youxiao became more angry the more he thought about it, and shouted violently.
"yes!"
The emperor's destiny was greater than the sky. With the order from Zhu Youxiao, Xiao Xuanzi and all eunuchs began to work quickly and left one by one.
Zhu Youxiao was not in a hurry. Anyway, things have already happened. It would be better to wait until all the eunuchs who are loyal to the royal family arrive before taking action, so as not to kill the wrong good person later.
Xiao Xuanzi and others acted very quickly, just a cup of tea. Teams of eunuchs arrived one after another, and soon they gathered.
The dark heads filled the entire palace and the main hall, with about 3,000 people.
Not only that, each eunuch, all holding various weapons: swords, guns, ropes...
At a glance, you can tell that Xiao Xuanzi has not lived in vain these days. He can prepare for it. This kid has basically completed the preparation.
Now that Zhu Youxiao gave the order, it is not surprising that the scene in front of him was caused.
Zhu Youxiao looked around and felt very satisfied. He praised Xiao Xuanzi's ability to do things.
"Everyone!"
Looking at the uneven and somewhat crooked team in front of him, Zhu Youxiao said loudly, "Tonight, many traitors and gangsters conspired to rebel and wanted to murder me. This is a traitor!"
"The only people I can trust in the palace today are you."
"Everyone follows me and immediately starts the anti-traitor! In the imperial city, no matter the size of the official position, no matter the back garden, no one is allowed to enter without any stubbornness, and the rest of the people will be arrested!"
"Those who resist, they will be killed without mercy!"
After saying that, Zhu Youxiao led everyone, carrying a big sword in front of him, and walked out of the hall with murderous intent, and walked towards the nearest palace mansion!
With the leadership of the emperor, these eunuchs who are usually low-level figures are all full of fighting spirit and their faces are red, as if they are injected with chicken blood!
One palace area, two palace areas...
In less than half an hour, nearly half of the palaces and mansions of all sizes were cleaned up by everyone, and more than 10,000 prisoners were arrested, nearly half of them were palace maids.
The prisoners were frightened and tied tightly with ropes. They then gathered together and handed them over to hundreds of eunuchs holding weapons.
There is no way not to be afraid. No one is sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, and suddenly he was lifted up and caught. Then he saw that the emperor was the one who arrested the person!
No, it's not just about fear!
The eunuchs and palace maids who had ghosts in their hearts were almost scared to death!
Zhu Youxiao ignored them and led the remaining two thousand eunuchs to move forward non-stop, breaking through palaces and mansions, and continuing to arrest them.
It was not that no one resisted, but the people who resisted were killed by Zhu Youxiao with one sword, without any hesitation.
Having said that, thousands of people surrounded a palace area to arrest him, and Zhu Youxiao's peerless force suppression, who can resist?
As we walked along the way, gradually, we noticed something was wrong inside and outside the palace. The entire imperial city was lit up everywhere, and the lights were brightly lit, as if it was daylight.
Zhu Youzhao couldn't manage so much, but just asked Xiao Xuanzi to send people to block the exits of the imperial city. He focused his all-out efforts first, and cleaned up the imperial city before the ministers reacted.
Another half an hour passed, except for the inner three halls, the entire imperial city was controlled by Zhu Youxiao!
There were also many eunuchs and palace maids and concubines killed, and the total number was more than a thousand people!
"Your Majesty, the Ganqing Palace is ahead."
Xiao Xuanzi was so excited that his whole body was trembling. He stood beside Zhu Youxiao with a bloody waist knife in one hand and said to the emperor, "This Ganqing Palace is now occupied by Wei Zhongxian and hundreds of confidants. Look..."
Zhu Youxiao stood firm and looked at the magnificent and majestic hall in front of him, speechless for a moment.
The Ganqing Palace was built in the 12th year of Yongle. Its hall foundation is connected with Jiaotai and Kunning Halls, and is collectively known as the Three Palaces of the Inner Court.
Since the Jiajing Dynasty, the Ganqing Palace was a place where the Emperor of Ming Dynasty handled daily government affairs and reviewed various memorials. The halls were divided into clear rooms and warm pavilions. The outside of the Ming pavilions summoned all the ministers, and the inside was summoned separately, and they could not be accepted by the favorite ministers.
There is a golden platform in the Ming Dynasty. There is a large golden lacquered chair on the platform. The four big words "Respect the Heaven and the Ancestor" are written on the plaque directly behind it.
"Bang!"
Zhu Youxiao strode forward, slashed into the middle of the gate with one sword, and then kicked open the huge palace gate!
"ah!"
"Yes...it's Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty forgive me!"...
As soon as they walked into the hall, the people inside were startled. When they saw that the emperor was coming in person, they were all panicked. Most of them fell to their knees and shouted in hunched their heads!
To be honest, the Ganqing Palace hall is now full of the "Nine Thousand Years" Wei Zhongxian's confidants. Not only is there any trick with the ministers outside, but they are also their mortal enemy.
However, over the years, they have never taken the little emperor seriously. They are all arrogant and domineering.
They are not loyal to their ministers or to the emperor. They are all using their power to be a blessing and seeking pleasure.
Most of them dare not ask them to pick up their weapons and fight against the emperor.
Therefore, after Zhu Youxiao came in, all eunuchs, including Wei Zhongxian, fell to the ground and shouted and begged the emperor for spare time!
"Xiao Xuanzi, ask someone to tie them up and detain them alone!"
Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment and said to Xiao Xuanzi beside him.
He knew that these dogs were all rich and had to squeeze them out before killing them.
Amidst the sound of shouting to the sky and the earth, it was lively for about a quarter of an hour. As Wei Zhongxian and others were taken away and detained, the scene returned to peace.
After a while, Xiao Xuanzi hurriedly ran back and reported, "Your Majesty, everything is done."
After a pause, Xiao Xuanzi said again, "Your Majesty, the Jiaotai and Kunning Palaces... Look..."
"No need to worry about that much!"
Zhu Youxiao shouted.
Although the imperial city has been roughly cleared out smoothly, the situation is becoming more and more urgent!
"Except for the innocent people on the list, all the palace maids and concubines will be arrested and detained first!"
"You split a thousand people to do it, and the rest will protect the entire imperial city for me!"
Zhu Youxiao ordered, "Especially for the queen, safety must be guaranteed!"
"As for the outside of the imperial city, you do this..."
He whispered to Xiao Xuanzi who was leaning over, and looked at his face with a blushing face for a moment, then hurriedly left, Zhu Youxiao walked towards the entrance of the Meridian Gate of the Imperial City alone.
