Martial law in Dongdu.

The Jinwu Guard patrols the streets, and the Luoyang Prefecture Yamen also ordered Henan and Luoyang counties to send yamen runners to inspect the yards. Even the Censors of the Censorate's Office have already patrolled the city urgently.

The capital city under the emperor's feet has always been well-informed.

Ludaofang, next door to Zhuyuan, Xu Mansion.

The gate of Xu Mansion was closed and the atmosphere was solemn.

The head of the family, Xu Jingzong, had been in the study and had met several groups of people. He was holding a glass of wine, his face turned slightly red, and his eyes were full of excitement.

Compared with the uneasiness and panic of the Xu family and the servants outside, Xu Jingzong smiled.

Although he was dismissed by the emperor before and was dismissed from prime minister. At this time, he was idle at home, but he still retained the second-rank official rank of Guanglu Dafu. From Zhenguan to Kaiyuan, he also served as prime minister for almost thirty years. Xu Jingzong had already roughly known from the scattered news that what was going on.

And when he heard that Qin Jun had entered the palace through Xuanwu Gate, he became more aware of his opportunity.

Xu Jingzong and Qin Lang have a very good relationship. The two families are in-laws. Since Qin Jun has entered the palace, this matter will be done and Qin Jun will definitely come to find him.

"Aye, Luoyang City has been martial law, Jinwu patrol cavalry has already taken to the streets, Luoyang Prefecture has also sent yamen runners to the court to inspect, and even the people from the Censorate have started patrolling the city!"

"This is a good thing." Xu Jingzong smiled slightly.

These actions meant that the imperial center began to play a role, and even Qin Jun not only controlled the palace, but also controlled the central palace.

"Aye, the Qin family is really in a mutiny? How dare they?"

The Su family was just defeated.

Xu Jingzong laughed, "That's called "restraining the king and rebellion, and purging the king and killing the treacherous and slanderous."

If the king succeeds, the enemy will lose. If the king succeeds, it will naturally be to seek rebellion. If the king fails, it will be to rebel and rebellion.

Xu Jingzong didn't wait too long.

As noon approaches, an order is sent from the palace.

"The prosecutor of the Zhongshu Ling and the clan of the Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhang."

The person who came to send the order was Qin Gui and Qin Shandao. He came with a team of imperial guards, and a low-level official from the Ministry of Education was also accompanied by him.

"Xu Xiang." Qin Gui crossed his hands and greeted him, briefly told him about the situation, and asked him to come out and maintain the situation quickly.

Xu Jingzong happily asked his concubine to bring his official robe and crown, and after changing his clothes, he immediately went out with Qin Gui.

······

Xu Jingzong was busy until dusk before entering the palace.

He went to the imperial city to stabilize the people's hearts and arrange tasks. He went to Luoyang Prefecture to take charge of command, and finally went to the southern yamen outside the city to calm the morale of the army.

The emperor is still in the Xizhou Ninghua Hall in Jiuzhouchi.

"Your Majesty woke up a few times before, but he still couldn't speak, and he was even unconscious, so he couldn't even recognize anyone. However, the imperial doctor said that Your Majesty's condition was relatively stable, and the next step was to recover slowly, mainly by acupuncture and decoction..."

Partial Palace.

All the officials from the East and West Prefectures and the Hanlin Academy arrived.

Crown Prince Li Xian had already changed into the crown prince's uniform and sat on the top to listen to political affairs.

Although something big happened today, it did not cause much riots. The main reason was that things happened too suddenly and were already progressing too quickly.

From receiving secret messages from the palace to gathering quickly, then summoning servants to launch a raid, it took less than an hour, and then from convincing Zuo Shenji Camp to entering Xuanwu Gate, and then climbing to Xizhou to control the situation, it was only less than half an hour.

From outside the North Gate to Xuanwu Gate and then to the palace, there was basically no resistance.

The prime ministers of the two prefectures cooperated abnormally, and even Xiao Siye did not resist much, that is, Gao Hu and some eunuchs who were in trouble resisted, but they were quickly pacified on the small island.

Later, there was an imperial edict and the prime ministers came forward to appease each other, and the matter was quickly calmed down.

Even many people didn't know that such thrilling news had happened after seeing the imperial edict.

Controlling the palace, mastering the center, and then taking the name of the crown prince's reign, the next thing is very simple.

Qin Jun was in charge of the palace and sent troops to continue to arrest eunuchs and other eunuchs. While appeased the army, Cheng Chumo and others quickly controlled the people from Wei, Pei and other families, either removed or arrested and detained. The guard lieutenants and military supervisors in each army were either arrested and locked up or killed directly.

Crown Prince Li Xian has issued the order to supervise the State and dismiss the positions and institutions of eunuchs such as Lieutenant of the Guardian Army, Xuanhui Yuan, and Privy Council.

Even the two internal court institutions, namely the provincial eunuch, and the provincial and provincial hall supervisor, have temporarily used civil officials to serve as part of the position.

The eunuchs are now like rats crossing the street, being controlled, interrogated and cleaned up.

The officials of the 24th Guards and Divisions of the two prefectures, three provinces, six ministries, nine temples, and twenty-four guards outside, were surprised by the drastic changes in the palace, but they were very calm about the fact that King Li Xian of Qin was appointed as the crown prince and was unable to govern the country during the saint's stroke, and most of them were supportive.

First of all, Li Xian’s reputation has indeed been quite good over the years, and he is known as a wise king.

Furthermore, he was the oldest among the princes today. All three of them in front of him were dead. His mother was the imperial concubine. Empress Wei broke out of that scandal and was sent to the cold palace by the emperor. In addition, the Luoyang military and civilians always loved Wu and Wu.

If Gao Hu and his friends successfully supported the 14th prince, it would inevitably cause criticism from the capital, but Li Xian was nothing to say as the crown prince.

Today, Luoyang is basically very stable, and there is no major turmoil.

Especially when the prince told him to treat Wei, the Xiaoji family was lighter and behind, and it was really not too powerful outside. Qin Li and others sent troops to surround Weiji family first, and invited important figures to the Secretariat for tea. Then they did not search the house in a mess, nor did they catch and kill people everywhere.

Although the inevitable children of the Wei Xiao and Zheng families in the capital were temporarily controlled, at least they did not cause much trouble.

The capital was martial law, but the market was not closed. It was just a curfew and the night market was stopped.

The situation is more stable than Qin Jun predicted, which is also related to the cooperation between the ministers and ministers such as Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu, and Li Anqi.

Yu Guang, the Secretary-General, looked at Qin Jun sitting next to him. He was in his thirties and was already the chief clerk of the school. Although Qin Lang was only twenty years old and even younger, Qin Lang participated in the government affairs as his part-time official, and Qin Jun was the chief clerk of the school.

He looked at the Secretary of the Procuratorate of the other side of him, Xu Jingzong. This Xu Gong was in a good mood today and had a smile on his face.

Xu Jingzong was also his old benefactor and had great support for him. However, with the emperor's intentions over the years, his relationship with Xu Jingzong was getting further and further away. He even came from above Xu Jingzong and finally drove him out of the Political Affairs Hall.

But he didn't expect that Xu Jingzong would come back in this way now.

Perhaps feeling his gaze, Xu Jingzong smiled at him, and Li Yi's mansion immediately returned with a smile revered by the spring breeze.

Xu Jingzong was called the Smiling Tiger, and Li Yifu was called Li Mao. The two guys smiled at each other, very brilliantly, like close friends.

Li Yifu felt a lot of pressure.

In a Secretariat, there may be two Secretariat ministers, but not two Secretariat Orders. Xu Jingzong prosecuted the Secretariat Order, so he would be in danger.

After thinking about it, Li Yi's mansion spoke out.

"Taibao, the Duke of England was transferred from the Privy Councilor to the Zuo Pushe school, but his old illness soon relapsed and had to ask the saint to go to Xijing for recuperation."

"The current situation in the court, I thought I should ask the elders to take charge, but unfortunately, Ying Gong was unwell and could not come back. I suggested that I could only send someone to Luzon to invite the King of Qi to return to the court and assist His Highness in the Crown Prince to follow the government."

As soon as Li Yifu said this, many people were silent.

Although Qin Lang is only in his fifties and is younger than most of the people here, in terms of merit, prestige and qualifications, it is something that no one can compare to.

Once, the Yuan Cong Jing Rebellion was planned and the second was to establish a plan, this was amazing. What's more, the reformers of the Zhenguan New Policy, who made so many contributions.

Of course, more importantly, Qin Jun personally launched a mutiny to support Qin Lang. As the prince's uncle and Qin Jun's father, if he returns to the court to assist in the administration, he will have nothing to say.

But everyone also knew how the emperor was afraid of Qin Lang at the beginning. As soon as he ascended the throne, he was eager to be appointed as the king of Qin Lang, so that Qin Lang could no longer stay in the court as prime minister.

Qin Lang is now the King of Qi, he is the prince's uncle and Qin Jun's father. It is actually not in line with the rules when he enters the court.

But Li Yifu's Secretariat has spoken like this, who can object at this time?

Xu Jingzong immediately agreed.

"The Grand Master is very meritorious, and it is best if he can come back to assist the prince in charge of the country."

He also proposed to simply appoint Qin Lang as the prosecutor of the Shangshu Ling, and also to be the two subordinates of the Central Secretariat to save trouble. These were all positions that Qin Lang had held.

Cheng Chumo and Niu Jianwu, the two Privy Secrets, were sitting there, wearing armor, but smiling and silent. As long as they sat here, they would have an excellent effect and didn't need to talk much. The two prime ministers of Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu were so smart that they could say everything they wanted but were inconvenient to say.

The other prime ministers could not refuse Qin Lang's return.

After all, it is an extraordinary time now. The emperor has a stroke and is not stable yet. No one knows when he will die. The palace has just experienced such a rebellion and a king. Qin Lang entered the dynasty and national affairs. As a veteran of the three dynasties, he can naturally play the role of a pillar.

If the emperor suddenly dies, then with an old man like Qin Lang in the court, the next transition will be smooth.

No one wants too much turmoil, but they all want to maintain their own interests.

Neither Xu Jingzong nor Li Yi's mansion really wanted Qin Lang to come back to the court again. After all, his reputation was too high. If he returned to the court to assist in the administration, Xu Jingzong and Li Yi's mansion would not be able to fight. But in the current situation, they could only use this to show their loyalty. Who made them unable to participate in the king's service and fail to gain any contribution to the chaos?

Regarding the other veteran Li Ji, Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu were not planning to summon him back. Before, the emperor finally transferred Li Ji from the Privy Council to the Political Affairs Hall, and then found an opportunity to get a handle. He instructed the Censorate to impeach Li Ji, forcing Li Ji to resign and asked to go to Xijing to recuperate.

"Your Highness!"

An eunuch called out in the distance. This was the eunuch brought by Li Xian from the Qin Palace. The old man who served by him for many years. Now the eunuchs in the palace have been killed or arrested, and there are many vacant vacancy. Li Xian was not relieved that those eunuchs who had not moved for the time being still used by the old man around him.

"Feng Yu said that the saint's condition has changed, please come over."

When Li Xian heard this, he immediately stood up, and Qin Jun also went there with Xu Jingzong and others.

The ministers from the two prefectures and one court followed the prince to the Ninghua Hall. The censors were busy. The emperor opened his eyes and even struggled.

But the emperor was completely paralyzed on the right half at this time, without any sense of consciousness, and the situation on the left half was not good either. The emperor's movements were like struggling and dancing.

"The saint wants to get up, but now it cannot be done. I am so eager to persuade him, but the saint refuses to listen."

I don’t know if it’s not listening, or if it’s not listening, or if it’s not listening, the emperor has been struggling there and can’t hold it down anyway.

"Father, sons, please beg me."
