Chengqian slowly calmed down.

Teacher Li Chao once told me many times that the more you should calm down when encountering major events.

He exclaimed, "We must find someone to discuss countermeasures now."

Ma Zhou agreed, "Your Highness is right, and I also feel that the situation is unclear and it is not advisable to act hastily, but you must first stabilize your position, and at least you must ensure the safety of the East Palace first. I will immediately summon the ministers of the Secretariat, the Privy Council of the Privy Council, and the scholars of the Hanlin Academy to the Eastern Palace to discuss matters. In addition, please issue a crown prince order to order the guards of the Eastern Palace to guard the palace gate tightly, and it is best to urgently adjust the defense order and position."

During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Ma Zhou also participated with Li Chao, and clearly understood the planning and process of the entire palace transformation at that time.

The palace transformation is different from general rebellion. The most important thing is raids and control.

The palace city of Hanjing is different from the palace city of Chang'an.

During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, there was only one palace city in Chang'an. The East Palace was east of Taiji Palace, but it was basically connected. At that time, the target of the palace transformation was the Taiji Palace. The most important thing was that Yuan Ji and his friends entered the palace through Xuanwu Gate that morning to meet the saint. Li Shimin and others bribed the imperial guards and slept in the Xuanwu Gate.

The palace city of Han Jing City is actually three palace cities that are together and independent of each other. It is composed of the Beigong Daming Palace, the Nangong Ziwei Palace and the East Palace. The three palace cities have their own system, and the access control guards are all separate.

"Does Ma Xiang think that anyone in the Eastern Palace guards have joined the emperor?"

"I don't know about this for the time being, but I have to be careful." Ma Zhou said, "I'm not afraid of one thing, but I'm afraid of ten thousand." When Chang He made the Xuanwu Sect Incident, Li Shimin and the others became winners.

Chengqian nodded, "Will the East Palace guards be alerted at this time?"

"There's nothing to do."

Although the Eastern Palace has now been removed from the Eastern Palace's guards, the Eastern Palace itself still retains a guard, namely the Eastern Palace's three guards and five palaces, but it no longer commands the soldiers of the outer palace. The total number of soldiers of the Three Guards and Five Palaces is 5,000, which is usually divided into several shifts, and each shift is more than 1,000.

After the order to change the guards and adjust the defense, the guards of the East Palace did not think anything was wrong, and everything went smoothly.

Under the Secretariat, Wei Zheng and Gao Shilian arrived first.

The two left-behind prime ministers were all wearing purple robes and beamed crowns.

"Your Highness, I don't know what is important to send someone to summon him?"

Ma Zhou briefly said the matter, "The two prime ministers, the matter is urgent, and you need to discuss the major plan together."

The two were shocked.

Du Ruhui also came. He was carried into the palace. He was in serious condition, but at this time the Eastern Palace needed his experience and prestige.

Du Ruhui coughed so hard that his eyes widened after hearing this.

"Ma Xiang's plan is correct. First, summon important officials of the court to the Eastern Palace, then block the Eastern Palace, stabilize the position, and then talk about other things."

Facing the Supreme Emperor who was about to restore the throne and the Supreme Emperor who had been planning for a long time, they all felt terrible. No one thought that he would rush to the Daming Palace without any preparation, which would be too risky.

"When the Privy Council's Privy Council's Privy Council arrives, we will immediately dispatch troops."

The bachelors of the Hanlin Academy came earlier than the Privy Council. Both the inner ministers Chu Suiliang and Cen Wenben believed that they should start first and start soon.

But even if you start, you have to wait for the people from the Privy Council first.

The prince is now in charge of the country and is regent on behalf of the emperor. He has the power to command troops, but he still has to pass the military talisman of the Privy Council.

The Privy Councilor Qu Tongtu, the deputy commander Chai Shao, Liu Hongji, Duan Zhixuan, and Yin Kaishan.

One chief and four deputy chief, only Chai Shao did not arrive.

"Where is Chai Shao?" Ma Zhou asked.

"Chai Shumi just said that some things at home need to be dealt with. After going back to the palace, he had already sent someone to Chai's mansion to inform him of entering the palace." Qu Tu's passage.

Chengqian had a gloomy face. He now believed more and more about the restoration of the Supreme Emperor. Because in that letter, Chai Shao was an important contact person for the restoration of the Supreme Emperor.

At this time, if Chai Shao doesn't enter the palace, there must be a ghost who dares not come.

The three most important yamen chiefs of the three imperial courts, under the Secretary of the Central Committee, the Hanlin Academy and the Privy Council, were basically there, but only one Chai Shao had not arrived.

“What should I do now?”

Many of the ministers here were still shocked.

The Supreme Emperor was about to rebel, and he was surprised no matter how he heard it.

"Your Highness, I think we should immediately order the troops from both the north and the south governments in Beijing to enter the city, first surrounded the Daming Palace, and invite the Supreme Emperor to the Eastern Palace."

Chu Suiliang proposed.

Ma Zhou believed that it was hard to tell who was a friend or an enemy, and it was hard to tell whether there were any people from the Supreme Emperor among the important officials here.

"Your Highness, I think that now we should immediately summon the main officials of the three provinces, six ministries, five temples and nine supervisors, as well as the generals of the 18th Guards of the North and South Yamen to enter the East Palace."

This week of Ma Zhou is called capturing the thief and capturing the king.

Chai Shao didn't come just now, which made him think of this trick. If it were from the Supreme Emperor, they might not dare to come. If they didn't come, it would prove that they had turned to the Supreme Emperor, and now they were clearly in the enemy.

If they come, they will enter the palace alone and be isolated from the outside and can no longer contact the Supreme Emperor, especially those generals, who will not be able to lead troops.

Du Ruhui coughed a few times, and he also thought of something from Ma Zhou's words.

"Send people immediately to inform the nobles of the honorary nobles in the capital and let those honorary nobles come to the East Palace."

Calling many nobles of honor and nobles into the Eastern Palace was considered to be hostages. At this time, I didn’t care about distinguishing who was the Supreme Emperor and who was the Emperor and the Crown Prince. I summoned the people into the Eastern Palace first and then I had a hostage.

If anyone doesn't come, there is a problem.

Those who come will become hostages.

"Okay, just do it like this." Cheng Qian made a decisive decision.

Dear officials, the important officials, began to get busy.

Chengqian walked to Ma Zhou and said, "Ma Xiang, do you think that letter was given to you by a teacher?"

"I don't know either." Ma Zhou had actually thought that this letter might have been sent by Li Chao. When the imperial court had not discovered the Emperor's plan to restore the emperor, they had so much information and could be delivered to his table. He probably was Li Chao who had this ability.

If the emperor knew about the news of the restoration of the Supreme Emperor, he would definitely have told the prince first.

However, why Li Chao knew about this, Ma Zhou didn't have much to say.

"Ma Xiang, please arrange immediately to bring the families of Duke Zhao's Mansion and the families of the important officials in the court to the Eastern Palace. We summon the ministers and nobles into the palace, and we must also prevent the Supreme Emperor from hijacking the families of the ministers. Especially the people from Duke Zhao's Mansion, we must bring them in immediately."

"Okay." Ma Zhou said.

Soon, Ma Zhou found Chengqian.

"Your Highness, the Duke Zhao's mansion, left Beijing early yesterday morning."

"Have you left Beijing?" Cheng Qian was surprised.

"Well, yesterday morning, Mrs. Cui took the mansion together and left. They took a boat to go on vacation to Jingle Manor in Wudang Mountain."
