As soon as the young emperor and Ying Jieyan said the words, all the ministers in the hall were shocked. Everyone understood the meaning of Your Majesty's closing the palace gate. He was not worried that too many accounts would scare everyone away, but to prevent the leak of what happened in the hall. And if Your Majesty's guess was true, it would be enough to show that this matter was secretly manipulated, and it was likely that something would lead to a change if it was in the middle and outside.

"Qigong reported to the Empress Dowager, the incident happened suddenly. I didn't have time to report in detail. I have mobilized the guards without authorization and closed the city gate. Please atone for your sins!" Zhao Bing turned around and bowed to him.

"If Your Majesty hadn't been alert, the Ai family would have been deceived by these villains and wrongly accused Your Majesty. This matter would be decided by Your Majesty. The Ai family would have decided for you!" Empress Dowager Yang was not a stupid person, and the little emperor defended himself for a long time, not only clarified the facts, but also defended his innocence. He was also secretly happy. The child had been chaotic for a long time, actually making arrangements in secret to prevent sudden changes, but she also realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!" Zhao Bing turned around and said, "Come here, the minister will extract the Zuozang Fengchunku Fengchunku Fengyan, the Zuosi Zhengyan Li Lang, the servant Qi Lin, the servant of the Shangshu Province, the servant of the housekeeper Qiao Gui, the case of Sun Zheng, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue Construction Court Wang Shen... and ten people will be taken!"

"Abide by the order!" Chen Dun stepped forward to receive the order. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers of the guards immediately stepped forward and dragged the officials who had called out the name from the train. Without waiting for them to shout out "unfairly", they had already been sealed and tied up and dragged them to the corner of the hall.

"Ni Liang obeys the order!" Zhao Bing pointed at the general again.

"I'm here!" Ni Liang immediately said.

"I ordered you to lead the First Brigade of the Guards to enter the Xinshang Camp of the Ministry of War, the Second Construction Division of the Ministry of Works, the First Division of the Ministry of Revenue, and the Barracks of the Lin'an Prefecture Inspection Division. At the same time, you ordered the Cavalry Brigade to strengthen the inspection in the city, and anyone who gathers with weapons and swords will be taken down immediately." Zhao Bing ordered.

"The Lord of the Subordinate!" Ni Liang said without hesitation.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to make such a big fight, right?" Lu Xiufu frowned and said softly. Seeing this, everyone saw that His Majesty used his guards to control all the armed forces in the city, it was obvious that they no longer trusted all provinces and ministries, but wanted to use the army to take over.

"Master Lu, the extraordinary things should be done at the time of extraordinary times. Although the incident has not been investigated clearly, there are many officials involved. Everything may happen. You should be prepared for it." Zhao Bing turned around and said solemnly.

"Your Majesty..." Lu Xiufu wanted to say something, but swallowed it back. He also realized that the incident had been planned for a long time, and the spearhead was only aimed at the little emperor. If he said too much, it would inevitably not arouse the little emperor's suspicion, so he shut up.

"Zhou Xiang, please return to the military weapon surveillance immediately and strengthen your vigilance, especially the gunpowder depot, gun depot, and artillery depot. Stop the allocation and distribution of all weapons. Those who are irresponsible or forcibly entrants will be killed." Zhao Bing pointed Zhou Xiang and said.

"My subordinates will never let a weapon flow out!" Zhou Xiang said with politeness, and then left the palace city accompanied by the guards and returned to the military weapon supervisor to take charge.

"Supervisor Zhang Shu, immediately ordered the troops stationed in the surrounding areas of the capital to return to the camp and take back the military talismans. He was not allowed to leave the camp without any orders." Zhao Bing said to Zhang Shijie, who had not spoken out.

"I obey the order and immediately pass the imperial edict on all departments and return to the camp." Zhang Shijie said.

"Shangshu Jiang, immediately check whether anyone from the Ministry of War was involved in the Ming Dynasty, and quickly report to the recent defense changes of the troops stationed in the capital. " Zhao Bing turned to Jiang Bing.

"I will obey the saint's order!" Jiang Xu said politely.

"Prince Cai mobilized the yamen runners under Lin'an Prefecture to cooperate with the imperial guards to strictly investigate pedestrians, monitor the situation in the city, and prevent gangsters from committing crimes. Any suspects will be temporarily detained!" Zhao Bing looked at Cai Wanyi and said.

"I follow the order!" Cai Wanyi stepped forward and said with politeness.

"Deputy Commander Hu, Ru led the Second Regiment of the Professional Guard Brigade to take over the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works to the Ministry of Works, and strengthen the security work of the Ministry of Imperial City." Zhao Bing finally pointed at ***.

"Abide by the orders!" *** stood attentively and saluted.

Those who received the order were ordered to come out one by one. In addition to those trapped by the side, the remaining two groups of ministers were left. Among them were those who were frightened, some were ignorant, and some were frowning and thinking about something. More people were blinded and kept looking at each other, as if they wanted to see some clues from the faces of the several priests, but they were disappointed. Their faces were also confused, helpless and puzzled, and they were obviously not very familiar with the current situation.

Zhao Bing also observed the situation in front of him. He saw that several prime ministers seemed to be unaware of the incident. At least they were strict, so Liu Fu and Wen Tianxiang were not involved. Li Kuan and the people who provoked the incident were mostly officials of the Zuosi of the Shangshu Province, so Lu Xiufu could not escape the suspicion, but he was not aware of the situation in handling the matter.

What confused Zhao Bing was that the people involved were from the Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Works, and Ministry of Rites, but these people were not high-ranking officials, and most of them were new officials, and they didn't know them at all. Obviously, they all entered the court after they left the court for a period of time. This made him feel alert. You must know that when he was in the court, he did not put his close ministers in the court in order to be able to control the government affairs, but arranged them in the place to achieve a balance of power, forcing the court officials to compromise on some issues.

Of course, Zhao Bing's "ambitions" will not be limited to this. During this period, he also used to win over old ministers in the court, promote his close ministers, absorb exiled officials and celebrities who fled to the court, strengthen his team through imperial examinations and training new people, and sent his own people to the court through "natural elimination", allowing them to penetrate into all levels of the bureaucratic team, gradually replace old ministers through learning and training, and complete the "blood exchange".

After entering Jiangnan, Zhao Bing should be said to have full wings, and as the territory increases, his affairs also increase. He cannot handle everything in every way as he was in Qiongzhou, so he needs to strengthen centralization around him. Therefore, he wanted to take the opportunity to go the other way and "delegate" some officials in the court to local officials, and insert his confidant officials into the central government and important places and financial resources to serve as officials, thereby strengthening control of power, promoting innovation, and forming another balance.

However, the Queen Mother's actions after entering Beijing disrupted Zhao Bing's plan and failed to complete her "blood exchange" work, which caused some non-direct officials to enter the center as scheduled, but were profitable by some old officials recruited in Jiangnan, filling the vacancy of various provinces and ministries. Therefore, the situation in the court has become a pattern where officials in the court still occupy strong positions and their confidants occupy less than half. However, since most of the middle and low-level officials in various provinces and ministries were released as officials, and their people were still in the future and filled in all their people, they became the world of new officials.

Don’t underestimate a provincial and ministerial department, the middle and low-level officials in the case. As the saying goes, “The King of Hell is easy to see a little ghost, but it is hard to evade the policy. Although they cannot participate in the formulation of policies, they are the executors and supervisors of these policies. They manage all kinds of matters, play the role of uploading and issuing the imperial edicts, deceive the superiors and conceal the subordinates, and do some fake power. Li Dai Taozun’s affairs are also a must.

On the surface, the current situation in the court is still the world of officials, but in fact it has become a three-way situation. This subtle situation may have some obstacles to Zhao Bing, but it is not enough to pose a threat. What makes him worry is that someone wants to break this subtle situation and become the dominant one. Then no one is what Zhao Bing hopes to see.

Because Zhao Bing knew that the dominance of his family would definitely break the balance. However, political struggles have never been gentle, but accompanied by bloody storms and will be a chaotic war. In the chaos, no matter who wins and loses, it will be a mess. In the end, the one who is unlucky is still himself, and the one who is happy is the Tartars. Judging from the current situation, it should be initiated by new officials in Jiangnan. Of course, it is not ruled out that old officials in the court participated. They should have seen their intention to adjust the officials and join forces with the new officials to provoke trouble in order to maintain their status and power.

Of course, those invaders are not fools. They understand that if they want to succeed, they cannot let Zhao Bing take power smoothly. Because they know their influence in the court and their prestige in the army, and Empress Dowager Yang is a woman and is not good at governing the government. Only by impeaching him before he allows him to take power, force the Empress Dowager to compromise with them and reach political exchanges, thereby improving his status in the court and achieving political goals.

Grandson said, "The speed of water is as fast as drifting stones, as is the power; the speed of birds of prey is as bad as the weight of stones." That is to say, the energy of water is insignificant compared to the weight of stones, but because the water produces a huge impact in a very short time, it can instantly rush the stone. Therefore, when Zhao Bing saw the loophole in the memorial, although he could not guess what backhand and backstage there were, he felt that the context was generally good. Therefore, he was worried that the officials in the provinces and ministry would rise up, paralyze the government and cause turmoil.

Zhao Bing then proved his innocence through the main hall. One can defeat the reason for their impeachment, without any force; the other should also make some smart people smell the strange smell, and when people feel cold, they will involuntarily cling to warm up. Of course, the best allies are also colleagues who have lived and died in Qiongzhou. After all, although there are differences between them, there has never been a conflict. Third, he can calmly mobilize the guards to control the situation and create a "big purge" posture, so that the other two parties understand that they are not unable to move them, but just want to move them...

"Your Majesty, since the morning court of Mao, it is now past noon, and the empress dowager is still exhausted. Should we rest and let the empress dowager rest and discuss it again?" Seeing that everyone in the court was in danger and was in a panic, Ying Jieyan thought about it and suggested.

"Well, that's good!" Zhao Bing didn't think about how to deal with the aftermath for a while, nodded and turned around and said, "Empress Dowager, the court meeting has lasted for half a day. Should I take a break for a while?"

"Well, that's fine. The Ai family is also a little tired, so let Your Majesty discuss everything with the ministers!" Empress Dowager Yang didn't know what the little emperor wanted to do, but she knew that he had conquered this country after all, and would never do anything for such a "small thing". After thinking for a moment, she said.

"Retreat!" Dou Xing shouted loudly after hearing this.

"Great sends the Empress Dowager!" Zhao Bing and the ministers bowed in unison to show their respects. Empress Dowager Yang left the seat with Dou Xing's support, but no one of the ministers dared to move and looked at the little emperor.

"According to the empress dowager's oral orders, all ministers can temporarily go to the palace to rest. I will arrange meals, but I still cannot leave the palace. Those criminals will also be temporarily detained in the Imperial Front Guard Division, waiting for disposal." Zhao Bing glanced at His Highness's ministers and said in a deep voice.

After Zhao Bing announced the announcement, he quickly retreated to the back hall, and the ministers walked out of the hall like general amnesty. Several people even ignored the warnings of the censor of the palace and passed the priest in front of him regardless of their rank. However, everyone just smiled and said nothing more. They just carried their breath, clamped their legs, and accelerated their pace toward the room next to the room.

Of course, people eat grains and grains, but they must not only enter but not leave. They all have to solve the problem of excretion, so in fact, everyone is busy doing something - going to the toilet. Think about standing in the hall for a long time, who would not panic, but in the past this was really a problem. At every court meeting, officials dare not drink too much water or eat, fearing that they would go to the toilet at that time. However, because they were worried that the toilet would pollute the air in the palace, there was no toilet in the palace, and they could only be solved after leaving the palace.

In the palace, from the emperor, concubines, and eunuchs, the palace maids all use toilets. There is a convenient basin below, and people sit on a stool. After the convenience, special people will immediately send the excrement out of the palace. Of course, the utensils they use are divided into different levels, with different levels of luxury and comfort.

After Zhao Bing came to this world, he couldn't stand the use of the toilet in this way. He always felt like he was back in the kindergarten era. The children lined up to squat the potty together. With the implementation of the discipline of "not being allowed to drown anywhere", his problem was also solved. He could finally build his own toilet according to his idea, but he would inevitably use it when traveling. However, the place where he lived has been renovated. This time, Zhou Xiang prepared a flush toilet for him everywhere and rectified the drainage system to ensure that there was no odor in the palace.

Of course, Zhao Bing is not an unreasonable person. His previous family had bathrooms and public toilets were also available in public places. The ministers were all human beings, so they naturally had needs. Therefore, Kai En specially built a public toilet near the court room according to modern standards, equipped with ceramic flush toilets, toilet paper, sinks and towels, and someone was on duty to prevent those court officials who drank too much water and had a stomachache from getting rid of their stomachs in time to avoid gains and loss of morality.
