The sun rises very high, and the capital is still in a state of strict discipline.

Last night, most people in the capital didn't see it, and even though they didn't see it, they could hear the shouts of killing outside. Even in their own courtyards, they could see the firelight everywhere.

Before dawn, all the adults who attended court should go to the back of the Meridian Gate. In the early morning of last night, there were servants shouting through the door, asking each household to close the door and take care of their own courtyards. They were not allowed to notify them and go out.

After breakfast, eunuchs who were passing the imperial edicts, Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, Secretary of the Six Ministry, Minister of the Censorate, Deputy Censor of the Censorate... etc. All the officials who were qualified to participate in the court meeting were passing the imperial edicts to the palace. On the way, these civil officials also saw a group of noble and military generals riding horses. After calculating, they almost all the civil and military figures in the capital arrived.

The Forbidden City, which was once rich and majestic, is more like a fortress today. The periphery is guarded by imperial soldiers, and everything is available. The soldiers are holding swords and guns and are on guard after the fortifications.

On the inside are armored guards. There are not many guards. They usually wear brocade robes, and the nature of the ceremonial guards is stronger. Today, they are wearing full armor and holding spears and big swords, which is also a tense patrol.

The officials who entered the palace were all nervous. They were in chaos last night. Could something happened to the emperor? Today, we would let everyone come and decide others...

After arriving at the Qianqing Palace and seeing Wanli with a gloomy face on the dragon throne, I felt relieved that the emperor would not have any major changes and would still move on the normal track.

When the Qianqing Palace summoned all the ministers at the grand court meeting and the officials bowed, they were three times a month. On weekdays, the emperor would meet the ministers at Fengtianmen and discuss matters with the cabinet in Wenyuan Pavilion. Doing this today is a violation of the rules, but it is very difficult for anyone to care about it.

"Last night there was a thief in the palace, and there was a thief in the capital. I had nothing to do, Empress Dowager Cisheng had nothing to do, and there was nothing to do in the palace!"

Before the eunuch could sing a ceremony, Emperor Wanli, who was sitting on the imperial throne, spoke coldly. After saying this, the ministers felt relieved and bowed to the sage to the saint.

"During the rebellion last night, Zhang Siwei and Zhang Aiqing went to the Beijing camp at night to send an order and dispatch troops to Beijing. This was a great achievement. Shen Aiqing told the officials of the capital to send their families to quell the rebellion in the city, and they were brave and knowledgeable. This was a great achievement."

"I am afraid, but fortunately my father is fine, so I dare not take credit for myself!"

Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing both knelt out of the line and kept staring at Emperor Wanli before they noticed that Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing were quite haggard on their faces. Although they were wearing court uniforms, they all looked dusty.

Some people lowered their heads, and some exchanged glances with each other. They thought that the two were disciples of the cabinet assistant Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng died of illness, and they lost power. Unexpectedly, there were such merits. It seems that no one can shake their status. Don’t think about the position of the assistant and the second assistant.

Emperor Wanli nodded coldly and said again:

"If you have merit, you will be rewarded clearly. You two should get up!"

The two below stood up. They were in the court for many years, and the etiquette of advancement and retreat naturally would not make any mistakes. However, after getting up, Zhang Siwei couldn't help but look at Shen Shixing, but Shen Shixing lowered his head and remained silent.

"Mr. Zhang is gone, but my grief is not relieved. There is such a major change in the palace, and there is such a major change in the capital. Huang Sen, how did you become the prefect of Shuntian?"

The prefect of Shuntian was a third-rank rank, named "Xiao Jiuqing". At this time, he was naturally below. There was such a big chaos in the capital. The prefect of Shuntian was already responsible. Huang Sen stood in the queue and his face was pale. Hearing this, his body shook, but he could still stagger out and kneel on the ground, and apologize:

"I was guilty of misconduct during the rebellion last night. Please punish me!"

Looking at Huang Sen, the prefect of Shuntian kneeling on the ground, Emperor Wanli snorted coldly, ignored him again, and said coldly:

"The Jinyiwei is for the emperor's eyes and ears and ears, and there were so many chaos last night. There were so many thousands of households and so many soldiers, so what did they do? Last night, the chaos was quelled. There were the servants of Shuntian Prefecture and the two hundred households of Nanjie on the street. They were the servants of Xiangcheng Bo Chen Family and the servants of the Tang Family who bought the Tang Family. Liu Shouyou!!"

When he finally mentioned this name, Emperor Wanli suddenly raised his voice. The commander of the Jinyiwei was the military minister at the court meeting. Liu Shouyou's face was also completely depressed. He heard Emperor Wanli's shouting, he didn't even have the strength to leave the list, and he knelt on the ground, or collapsed there. Sisisi! Dancun!

A martial official didn't even have this responsibility. Emperor Wanli had a little disdain in his eyes, and even the others in the court despised him.

But Liu Shouyou's result is also felt that everyone should. When Zhang Juzheng was in charge of the Jinyiwei, the information compiled by the Jinyiwei was first to Zhang Juzheng before the palace. Zhang Juzheng controlled the Jinyiwei in his hands, and knew that the wind was blowing, and all officials naturally had an overwhelming advantage in the court.

Everyone is happy to see such people who are unlucky, and there are many people who are gloating. Emperor Wanli glanced at him in disgust and said coldly:

"I am incompetent and I have you guarded by my side. I am afraid I can feel relieved. I am afraid I am too worried. I think you are a famous minister and have gone to the official position and go home to think about your mistakes!!"

Such key positions require cabinet votes and the official approval of the award, but who will care about this now? Zhang Siwei even stepped forward and bowed to receive the order and said in a stern voice:

"I will receive the order!!"

With the deputy cabinet signatories, Liu Shouyou's fate was decided, and Liu Shouyou seemed to have no bones and lay directly on the ground.

Liang Menglong, who was the new Minister of Personnel and the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, glanced at Shen Shixing, then looked at Zhang Siwei, then lowered his head. Almost all the people in the hall were doing this.

Zhang Siwei is just a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. He has not decided the name of the second assistant. He has taken the lead everywhere today. Has the position of this assistant been set for him? Everyone was confused, but no one was so stupid that he asked questions.

Emperor Wanli just glanced at the imperial throne, without any doubt. He glanced around and said again:

"Cao Yi, the commander of the vanguard of the government, made contributions to protect the emperor last night. This is because he made contributions to the country and the country, and to the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, Feng Yi and the Bo. The cabinet will discuss it and submit the vote as soon as possible!!"

Everyone in the cabinet in the hall received the order, but everyone found that the difference was different. All the orders just now were made decisions and no one could tell others, but Cao Yi's reward made everyone discuss it. Since it was said in the court, it must have been passed by the Empress Dowager and Feng Bao, but the cold and cold are worth pondering.

"Zhao Yuande, Ministry of Justice! Wu Sui, Dali Temple!"

Hearing the cold greeting of the Emperor of Wanli County, the two people in the court officials trembled and hurriedly stepped out and knelt down. Zhao Yuande was the Minister of Justice, Wu Sui was the Zuoqing of Dali Temple, and they were both senior officials in charge of the ruling of the prison. Emperor Wanli glanced at them and said directly:

"In and outside the capital, there were many evil scoundrels who took advantage of the chaos to commit crimes and rob, burn and kill. The thieves did not do much, but they did a lot of things. Don't let one go, don't kill one less!!"

The murderous aura in his words was so fierce. If it were put in the past, there would definitely be ministers coming out to advise, saying that benevolence and righteousness should be the first priority, and that no one would be willing to kill indiscriminately. At this time, no one would be willing to be bad at this point, and the following are also accepting the order.

Emperor Wanli said so much in a hurry, his throat was dry, and he reached aside. The little eunuch hurriedly held the teacup. Emperor Wanli took a sip, frowned, and suddenly threw the teacup in front of the imperial throne. The teacup was shattered. The little eunuch who served the tea was so scared that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. He didn't know what he was wrong. The teacup was probably the right time when he sent it to him. Why did Wansui fall down the teacup?

At this moment, when the emperor's anger was touched, it was a dead end. Tea and broken porcelain splashed onto the ministers in front of them, and everyone bowed their heads and bowed and did not see them.

"Retreat the court!!"

Emperor Wanli did not do anything, but stood up and turned his head to walk towards the palace. The eunuchs who were singing the ceremony were stunned. When the emperor walked out, they shouted "retreat the court". The ministers in the court looked at each other and remained silent. No one exchanged opinions. They all dispersed silently.

Except for the court, he did not sleep all night and was worried and scared all night. Emperor Wanli's eyes were stabbed by the sun. He stretched out his hand to cover it. The chaos last night was mainly concentrated in Concubine Zheng's palace, and the Qianqing Palace was peaceful. Although it looked the same as usual outside, the pungent smell of gunpowder and blood mixed with it did not drift away, reminding Emperor Wanli that he had walked around between life and death last night.

He stopped and did not leave, and the eunuchs behind him also stopped. Zhang Cheng was in charge of the palace, while Zhao Jinliang stayed there to take care of the yard. In recent years, the only eunuchs who were close to Emperor Wanli were the only ones. Although they were willing to please these people, they were afraid of losing their composure, so they could only stop behind their backs.

It was not until Emperor Wanli waved his hand that someone hurriedly arranged a soft sedan chair, and someone came forward and asked:

"Long live, go to the Imperial Study?"

"Go back to Concubine Zheng..."

…………”

"...Lin Shulu died in the bedroom of King Lu. Lin Shulu's most confidant companion was Shuangxi wearing armor and holding a spear, and died before the place where Emperor Wansui lived last night... According to the survivors he caught last night, Lin Shulu was the association of the Sanyang Sect, and his confidants inside and outside called him the master..."

In Cining Palace, Feng Bao bowed and talked about the situation last night. When he said this, he couldn't help but tap his fingers between his eyebrows. There were only Empress Dowager Li, Feng Bao, Zhang Cheng and Zhang Jing in the room. Everyone looked bad, and Empress Dowager Li's face turned pale. Feng Bao looked at the people in the room again, coughed dryly, and continued to speak:

"Some people say that as long as the King of Lu ascends the throne, everyone will have great wealth..."
