Chapter 272: Extermination Massacre

To be honest, if there was a general of the same level as Li Xin, who stood in front of the emperor and said this, Emperor Yuan Zhao would be overjoyed and handed over all the three imperial guards in the capital and even the imperial guards that could be controlled by this person, and let him take the blame for him.

Ye Ming simply talks about qualifications and military merits, even more than Li Xin. After all, when the Imperial Guards fought in the West, Ye Ming was the head coach and Li Xin was just a deputy general.

As long as he is willing to stand behind the emperor, the situation in the capital will stabilize almost immediately, and those who are interested in it will not dare to be ready to move again.

But Ye Ming couldn't do it.

The original sound is very simple. His daughter married Emperor Taikang and gave birth to a prince who was named Concubine De.

This is one of the most threatening competitors of Emperor Zhao of Yuan.

After all, the blood ties are heavier. Emperor Yuan Zhao's fourth brother is Ye Ming's grandson. If he has such a relationship, he would not dare to use Ye Ming no matter what.

The emperor took a deep breath, looked at Ye Ming, and smiled reluctantly: "Old Duke, there is no big deal in the capital, it's just some small twists and turns, I... can handle it."

This reply was not beyond Ye Ming's expectations. The old general sighed and said, "Your Majesty, I have no selfishness when I enter the capital this time. The old man is now in the court without a position and does not command troops. He will not live for a few years and has no ambition."

"Now the capital is in turmoil, and Your Majesty has not taken charge of the new establishment. If this continues, there will be greater turmoil. Your Majesty uses me to clear the atmosphere of the demon for Your Majesty, and give the court a clear and clear mind. If you are criticized behind you, you can bear all the burdens..."

"If Your Majesty doesn't need old ministers, I will also advise Your Majesty."

The old general stood up, knelt slowly on the ground, and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, it is better to swing the knife quickly than to slow, and it is better to be early than to late. If there is any delay, things will become more and more troublesome."

"As long as the imperial guards support His Majesty and die a scholar, will the Great Jin or the Great Jin..."

Ye Ming had been guarding Jimen Pass in the northern border a few years ago. Later, he returned to Beijing to deal with Ye Sheng's funeral. Later, he was observing filial piety in Ningling. Emperor Yuan Zhao was not familiar with him, and he had only seen him once or twice. At this time, he saw the old general kneeling in front of him, and the emperor was a little panicked.

He stepped forward, helped Ye Ming up, and sighed: "I know in my heart that my father-in-law is loyal to the country, but if I ascend the throne, if I become a tyrant, there will be more people who have a bad mind in the future."

The little emperor ascended the throne for less than a year and his throne was unstable. If he killed ministers without authorization, his reputation would be destroyed. At that time, many royal families and many of his brothers would have a chance.

Taboos are taboos here.

Ye Ming's voice was a little hoarse because of his poor health.

"Your Majesty, the court is only in swords and guns, not in reputation."

"The late emperor back then..."

He didn't continue talking at this point, but the meaning in his words was already very obvious.

The late emperor Renchen Palace changed to seize power and succeeded to the throne, which was not easy for eternity, but he had mastered the orthodox and the imperial guards, and the regime was as stable as Mount Tai for more than ten years.

Emperor Yuan Zhao rubbed his forehead in pain and said with a wry smile: "Old Duke, let me think about this matter, but I can't make up my mind for a while."

Ye Ming lowered his head and said, "The old minister will be in the Duke's mansion, waiting for His Majesty's holy wish."

As he said that, he was about to get up and say goodbye.

The emperor personally sent him to the gate of Weiyang Palace. Before parting, he spoke: "Mr. Li refused to come back in Yongzhou. Can the old Duke write him a letter and advise him to go back to Beijing and help me."

Ye Ming looked back at the emperor, then nodded silently.

"Your Majesty speaks, I will naturally obey the order, but even if Chang'an is willing to return to Beijing, when he comes back, the capital will be in a situation again."

Emperor Yuan Zhao lowered his eyebrows and said, "I understand."

Ye Ming bent down to say goodbye, then slowly took a step down the 81st floor of Weiyang Palace.

The young emperor stood at the gate of the palace and quietly watched Ye Ming go away.

After a while, he sighed and said enviously: "How great would it be if I had such a mother family."

Xiao Zheng, behind him, lowered his head and said, "The big family cannot become a descendant. This is the rule set by Emperor Wu."

Because there were many precedents of foreign relatives interfering in politics in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Wu set such a rule after destroying the Northern Zhou Dynasty that the prince’s wife’s family could not be a large family of fourth rank or above to prevent foreign relatives from interfering in politics.

Emperor Yuan Zhao looked at the background where Ye Ming gradually walked away and sighed again.

"Just as long as I nodded, the Ye family can help me and solve all the troubles in the capital. Those annoying civil servants, the Ye family can also help me kill..."

"What a pity."

The emperor turned his head and walked back to the Weiyang Palace.

"It's a pity that I have a fourth brother."

……………………

The situation in the capital is getting worse and worse.

Several prime ministers were placed under house arrest, and the court added several prime ministers to the Shangshutai for temporary prestige, but the emperor did not take charge of the power, so the candidates to the Shangshutai could only rely on court discussions and court recommendations to complete the election. In the end, these civil officials were still the ones who entered the Shangshutai.

The Shizhong Fangzi of the disciples took four new people to deal with state affairs.

The public opinion field in the capital is becoming more and more exciting under the operation of those who are interested, and some vivid stories have begun to spread in various places in the capital.

For example, how beautiful that noble man Chu is, and some details about Emperor Yuan Zhao’s mother.

Some people say it as if he had seen it with his own eyes as he climbed into the window of Weiyang Palace.

The disciples and former officials of Shen Kuan and Yan Shouzhuo and others also began to make efforts. Many people jointly wrote to the court, not mentioning the emperor's rebellion of his mother, but only asked the court to release several prime ministers.

At this time, some people who were interested had already begun to find ways to overcome the blockade of the imperial guards and wanted to enter the homes of several prime ministers and "talk" to them.

As if nothing had happened, Emperor Yuan Zhao continued to do whatever he should do every day, and the dynasty meeting was held every ten days as usual.

However, the three words "Guru Chu" became a taboo in the court. After an official mentioned these three words, he was directly thrown into the Dali Temple by the imperial guards, and the charge was for slandering the emperor.

The capital city on the surface calmed down.

But the undercurrents underground are getting more and more surging.

In order to deal with this situation, the eunuch recalled almost all the plum blossom guards. Emperor Yuan Zhao also called Hou Jingde and He Song into the Weiyang Palace to talk, and rewarded them with a lot of things to them and the imperial guards to win people's hearts.

And Li Xin was still watching in Jincheng at this time.

At this moment, something big happened.

On November 27, the first year of the Yuan Zhao year, a murder case occurred in a private house in Liyang County, the capital of the capital. More than 30 children in the family died of death except for one son who was studying abroad.

When Liyang County Government arrived at this family, they were shocked to see the tragic situation at the scene.

They hurriedly entered the capital without stopping and reported the case to Jingzhao Mansion.

The people in Jingzhao Mansion were also very scared. Jingzhao Yin himself immediately entered the palace and reported the matter directly to Shangshutai. After several temporary prime ministers from Shangshutai saw the case, they were all stunned.

Because this family was destroyed...
