In the Heavens

Chapter 165 The Imperial Party's Counterattack

The mansion of the Duke of England is now a post at five steps and a sentry at ten steps. Thousands of Beijing elites in armor are guarding here.

Since the news of the cabinet's involvement in the regicide came, the Xungui Group has gathered here to seek a solution to the aftermath.

Liu Huanran, Marquis of Puyang, said indignantly: "Mr. Zhang, today there are rebellious ministers and thieves committing rebellion and murdering the king. I will receive the emperor's grace for the rest of my life. I must not allow them to go on rampant!"

Zhang Lun nodded. The Xungui Group is truly the same as Daming and the country. Although they have been severely suppressed by the civil official group in recent years, they cannot let the regicide be allowed to go anyway.

Even the dandies who usually hang around the Fireworks and Wine Alley have rushed over with their servants at this moment, which is enough to prove the seriousness of the matter.

Purely in terms of strength in the capital, the Xungui Group is not weaker than the Civil Service Group. No matter how dilapidated the Beijing camp was, it was still the largest armed force in the imperial city.

Unlike the civil servants who wish Zhengde would die immediately, the Xungui Group has all kinds of feelings about the emperor. Everyone hates Zhu Houzhao's reckless behavior, but also likes the emperor's desire to revitalize the military.

Now that the emperor is dead, and the news that the cabinet participated in the regicide broke out, the Xungui Group naturally couldn't sit still.

"It's easy to win the capital, but the key is to deal with the aftermath. The emperor died suddenly and there is no prince left behind. Who should I support to succeed me?"

Frankly speaking, Zhang Lun really doesn't want such support. The line of British Dukes has reached its peak long ago, and the previous generations of British Dukes were all posthumously crowned kings after their death.

However, the current situation does not allow him to back down. As the head of nobles, he cannot sit back and watch the "King Killing Cabinet" take power no matter what.

"The decree has arrived!"

Just when everyone was hesitating for the heir, a eunuch suddenly appeared in the hall with an imperial decree, which shocked everyone.

Seeing the person coming, Zhang Lun exclaimed in surprise: "Grandpa Wang, your old man has come out of the mountain!"

As a high-ranking British prince, even when Liu Jin was at his most assertive, Zhang Lun never gave him face.

Now that he respects a eunuch so much, some of the older nobles quickly awakened the long-sleeping memory in their minds, and then their faces changed drastically.

The old eunuch replied calmly: "Today there is a rebellious party, colluding with hundreds of officials to murder the emperor, so our family has no choice but to come."

It is determined that the cabinet is involved in regicide, and the forces loyal to the royal family will naturally not give up. The nobles could not agree, and the eunuchs were even more afraid to agree.

Otherwise, after the civil official group takes power, they will be the first to be unlucky. Originally, these disputes had nothing to do with the retired old eunuch, but Zhu Houzhao had to leave the mountain because of an imperial decree deposited by him.

After recovering, Zhang Lun asked rationally: "Dare to ask my father-in-law, is this imperial decree left by the late emperor?"

The old eunuch nodded, and said bitterly: "That's right, the emperor found our house three months ago and gave me a strange imperial edict.

I thought the emperor would be very playful, but I didn't expect to use it so soon. "

I saw the British Duke Zhang Lun nodded, and said solemnly: "I will not hide it from my father-in-law, I also have a special imperial edict here."

While speaking, Zhang Lun had already taken out the imperial decree from his sleeve.

The atmosphere in the room became tense in an instant. The imperial decree of the first emperor was the legal basis for everyone to take action. Now everyone was afraid that the brat would play some tricks again.

After comparing the two, Zhang Lun and the eunuch breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Looking at the tense people, Zhang Lun said, "The content is the same. The late emperor ordered us to put down the chaotic party in the court, destroy the aristocratic family, and make Zhu Houwei, the king of Xiangyang, the emperor's younger brother."

The world of martial arts is different from history. With such an unscientific thing as internal force, Zhu Houwei, who should have died young, survived miraculously.

As Zhu Houzhao's only younger brother, Zhu Houwei was originally the first heir when his elder brother had no children.

Such a result was acceptable to everyone present. Although he is only the younger brother of the emperor, he already has the legal right of succession when the emperor receives the box lunch.

The only problem is the extermination of the aristocratic family, but those guys dared to kill the king, so there is nothing to say, no matter how difficult it is, they must be exterminated.

The old eunuch gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Zhang, since there is no problem with the imperial decree, please immediately send troops to follow our family into the palace to serve the king and wipe out the gang of rebellious officials and thieves."

He was directly accused of rebellious ministers and thieves. Obviously, the old eunuch hated the bastards in the cabinet to the extreme.

Even if he didn't participate in the king-killing conspiracy, he could still be killed by the nine clans just by delaying the emperor's treatment.

Whether there is subjective intention or not is not important at this time. A minister doesn't care about the monarch's body, only knows that he deserves to be killed if he fights for power.

It's just that the civil official group controls the right to speak, which made Zhang Lun hesitate for a moment. However, this hesitation did not change the result.

"Listen to the order, all officers and men, follow me into the palace to serve the king, and anyone who dares to stop me will be killed without mercy!"

I can't take care of my fame before and after my life. Regardless of how old Zhu's family treated other people, they never treated his Zhang family badly.

Eat the king's salary and share the worries for the king. The British lineage is also worthy of that honor, and it can be regarded as devoting itself to maintaining the rule of Ming Dynasty.

Even in the last years of Chongzhen, the last generation of British princes did not make any achievements, at least they accompanied Chongzhen to die for the country.

He cupped his hands at Zhang Lun, and the old eunuch changed his subject: "Mr. Zhang, our family has to go and notify the people in the Zongren Mansion, Jinyiwei, and Dongchang, so we won't stay any longer!"

As soon as the words fell, the old man disappeared without a trace with the imperial decree in his hand, and the speed was completely comparable to that of Dongfang Bubai.

Seeing this wonderful edict in his hand, Li Mu was a little speechless. Obviously pulled the list, why not act first?

Looking at the tattered Gu Dayong, Li Mu was more polite this time: "Eunuch Gu, since your Majesty knew that the family might take risks, why did you get caught?"

Seeing that Gu Dayong was in a dilemma, Li Mu knew that there was something difficult to say, so he stopped the dilemma.

"Forget it, this edict has been accepted by Mr. Li. Father-in-law can rest assured that as long as these people on the list can be found, they will definitely go to see the late emperor within a year!"

It couldn't be easier to kill someone. As long as he can find it, there is no one in the world that Master Li can't kill.

It's unlucky for these guys, Zhu Houzhao's offer was too generous, directly compared with Mu Guogong's treatment, and directly let him Li Dazhen live in the northwest.

Frankly speaking, from the point of view of the funeral, this reward to the royal family is not a loss at all.

The northwest is the biggest gunpowder keg of the Ming Dynasty. The endless natural disasters and man-made disasters may cause chaos at any time and swallow the entire Ming Dynasty.

Throwing this trouble to Li Daren, at least one million taels of military expenditure can be saved every year, and the Ming Dynasty can continue its national fortune for a hundred years.

If it weren't for Zhu Houzhao's death, Li Mu would have suspected that this guy was a time traveler, and he would have thrown away Daming's biggest trouble.

Even though he knew it was troublesome, Li Mu couldn't refuse. The foundation of the Huashan School is in Guanzhong, and with the Northwest, one loses and all loses and one prospers.

Seeing that Li Mu received the imperial decree, Gu Dayong was overjoyed, and immediately said: "Renren, there is one more thing that needs to be troubled. The king of Xiangyang is very poisonous, please help the real person."

Hearing "save someone", Li Mu was taken aback for a moment, and then refused, "Did my father-in-law make a mistake? Li's medical skills are mediocre. If you want to find someone to detoxify, let's find another famous doctor!"

As a lazy person, asking him to go to Xiangyang to save people is obviously dreaming. Even if that person is the future emperor, Li Mu doesn't want to have anything to do with him.

The merit of saving the car seems to be great, but it also depends on who is targeted. For Li Mu, the emperor's excessive closeness was not a good thing.

With the wonderful tradition of the Ming royal family, if a guy who wants to live forever comes and asks him to refine the elixir of life, wouldn't it be crushing?

Emperor Qin, Han and Wu could not resist the temptation of longevity in their later years, let alone ordinary emperors. At that point, it is the ugliest scene of human nature.

"Really, we have sought many famous doctors, but there is nothing we can do. In the end, Tianshi Zhang of Longhu Mountain suppressed the spread of the toxin, but King Xiangyang still couldn't last long.

Daoist Chongxu recommended the real person, and it is said that Zixia's magical power has reached its peak, and its effect of forcing poison and healing is very good.

A real person's skill is profound, if he is willing to make a move, he will definitely be able to catch it. King Xiangyang has already arrived at the foot of the mountain, but the mountain road is bumpy, please move the real person..."

While speaking, Gu Dayong knelt down directly. That expression was like his parents who were poisoned and urgently needed medical treatment.

Pulling up Gu Dayong with his internal force, Li Mu greeted Daoist Chongxu's family in the depths of his heart.

It's nothing more than Wudang colluding with the imperial court, let alone anyone in this regard, everyone has not been able to withstand the sugar-coated bullets.

It is a bit too much to expose his Zixia magic power to force poison and heal wounds. It takes a lot of internal energy to use power to force poison for others.

Although a congenital master has strong internal strength, it is unlikely that one shot will exhaust all the strength of the whole body, and it will take several years to recover.

But it is inevitable to delay the practice for ten days and half a month. If the toxicity is too strong, the heart vein needs to be protected, and more internal energy will be consumed.

Li Mu said angrily, "Okay, don't kneel down. After all, you are a big shot in the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and you won't be afraid of being laughed at if you spread the word."
