Chapter 2: Behind the Scenes (I)

The turmoil in the court was inevitable, and it was precisely because of the cabinet system first created by the Ming Dynasty that Zhu Yinglong decided to take risks. The emperors in front of him were all lazy. Some of them had not attended court for several years, and the ministers could not even see the emperor. Thanks to this cabinet system, the national order was as usual, so as long as the cabinet was not chaotic, the court would not be chaotic.

It is not easy to get serious injuries, especially in such a hot world. After just one day of lying down, Zhu Yinglong's back covered with a layer of prickly heat. It was unbearable. This reminded him of the Liushen Card Flower Dew Water in later generations. It would be great if this thing was available now. After he recovered from the "serious injury", he must make this thing out. It can not only prevent mosquito bites, but also be afraid of prickly and itchy. It is a must-have item for families in the hot summer.

Zhu Yinglong woke up after a day of "unconsciousness". Xiong Hu and the concubines were all crying with joy and came to visit. Zhu Yinglong was not bad at acting and Lu Huanzhang helped him. The concubines all came to see him from a certain distance. Zhu Yinglong pretended to be a serious injury who had no ability to speak, and finally tricked them away.

Yanhong was responsible for being a companion in front of the emperor and wanted to stay and serve him. Zhu Yinglong also knew that if he didn't leave Yanhong to serve him, he would become very problematic. So while he was considering, he was ready to tell her the truth and let her cooperate with him in this scene. Otherwise, with Xiong Hu's shrewdness, he would definitely have doubts. However, Da Yu'er would never come to serve him. Just find an excuse to let Yan Hong send her to do other things. This is very reasonable. Who is Da Yu'er? Even Xiong Hu would not be suspicious even if he kept it. In fact, Xiong Hu had already thought that it was not appropriate for Da Yu'er to stay in front of the emperor to serve him. He was thinking about how to transfer Da Yu'er to him for a few days. He would return it back in the future.

When Yanhong saw Zhu Yinglong intact, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak. How could she guess that all of this was fake?

When Zhu Yinglong told her the whole story, Yanhong then understood his intentions. She was happy and worried. She was worried that her sisters were pregnant, and she was afraid that they would not be able to resist the blow.

After hearing this, Zhu Yinglong also cast a shadow in his heart. There was already one who could not afford to get sick. What would happen below was unpredictable, but he did not turn around. If the bow was just finished in a hurry, wouldn’t everything he had done before be wasted? Zhu Yinglong was really unwilling to give up, because in his vision, his injury would worsen.

Next, Zhu Yinglong ordered Xu Yingyuan to issue an order to Han Yu and Sun Chengzong, and entrusted them with the military, political and state affairs, hoping that they would do their best to stabilize the court and not make any mistakes.

I don’t know when. There was such a rumor in the capital that the current emperor was not established by the old emperor’s remains, but usurped the throne and killed the throne of his nephew. This rumor is widely circulated, and it also says it is precise. When, where, where, how to usurp the status, how to kill the king, all have vivid descriptions, and you can’t help but believe it.

This time, the assassination was seriously injured. It was rumored that this was God's punishment for the usurping king and the punishment for destroying the laws of the ancestors. Otherwise, there would be so many masters in the Great House. Why didn't even see the shadow of the assassin? Didn't God send the gods to punish him?

There are even more outrageous things, saying that there is a real person on Mount Wutai, watching the star constellation at night, and saying that a star with darkness and light in the southeast was radiant after being assassinated today. In contrast, the star with which it is facing today is dull and dull, with great signs of falling.

"The evil words confuse the public, what are the Wutai Mountains? What are the real people? Can there be Taoist priests in Mount Wutai?" Shi Kefa cursed angrily.

"Brother Shi, what should I do now? The streets and alleys are full of these rumors. There is a saying that if you tell lies a thousand times, it will become true even if it is false." Wei Xuelian said that he is still above Shi Kefa, so it is appropriate to call him "Brother".

"Then what do you think you should do? I can't watch the emperor suffer such defilement!" Shi Kefa asked before he calmed down.

"As far as I see, Brother Shi first step must cut off the source of the rumors and cannot let them spread infinitely." Huang Zunsu, who stood aside and silent for a long time, spoke.

"I also know this, just how to cut off the source of this rumor?" Shi Kefa continued.

"The person who spread these rumors must be a rebel lurking in the capital. They were originally in the dark, but as long as they didn't move, it would be difficult for the court to discover it. Now that they are moving, this will give the court a chance to catch these people." Huang Zunsu analyzed.

"But now there are rumors everywhere in Beijing, and rumors spread from one to another, and there are so many people. How can we find the person who spreads rumors?" Wei Xuelian asked with a frown.

"So it is not possible to rely solely on our Shuntian Mansion. We must join forces with the Five City Patrol Censorate and the Beijing Guard (this yamen was established after the merger of the Five City Military and Horses), and even need the cooperation of the Grand Inspector General's Office!" Huang Zunsu said calmly.

"Yes, now only by combining these four forces together can we achieve success." Shi Kefa had calmed down and nodded in agreement.

"Brother Shi Xian, these four yamen are under different departments, so it is probably not easy to work together!" Wei Xuelian said with some concern.

"Yes, the Beijing Guards and the Military Garrison Office have dual controls. The Five-City Patrol Censorate Office belongs to the Censorate Office. The Grand Guards and Commanders' Office is directly under the emperor. Although our Shuntian Prefecture Office is not small, it is the weakest part of the emperor's feet. If you want to integrate the power of these four major yamen, it may be difficult. Without an imperial edict, who dares to mobilize the four major yamen to participate in this matter?" Shi Kefa said objectively.

"The Five City Censors' Censors' Office is easy to deal with. The Left Censor Chen Yangmei is a man who hates evil like a grudge. The emperor treats him as much as a mountain. Besides, we have Master Zhou Wenyuan and Master Zhou. He is in charge of the five city patrols' office. There is no problem asking him to cooperate. Although we have something wrong with Zhou Huaian, the commander of the Great Guard, we are also the first person to follow the emperor. I believe the problem is not big. The difficult one is the Beijing Security Office. There are several Hou leaders here. The emperor handed over the important task of the Beijing Security Office to them to show their trust in them. I am afraid it will be difficult to be in the same heart as us." Huang Zunsu analyzed.

"Yes, the most critical thing in the capital's security yamen. If these people have any trouble, they will talk, if there is no cooperation between the police yamen, they may have to drive these people out of the capital in the end so that these people can continue to get away with the law!" Wei Xuelian said.

"If it really doesn't work, please help Lu Haotian and transfer his new army!" Yang Zhiyi, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
