After interpenetrating with Lord Hou, he became addicted to house fighting

Chapter 777

On the night of February [-]th, the moon is like a silver plate, shining brightly.

This night, for ordinary people, was the most ordinary night. Once the curfew was over, there was no one else on the street except for the five city soldiers and horse division soldiers who were patrolling.

Most of the people have already fallen asleep.

A group of dark clouds floated over, covering the bright moon, and a few crows crowed, revealing a bit ominous.

Emperor Wenchang raised his head from the hill-like memorial, and asked the eunuch Bingbi who was serving beside him: "What time is it?"

The eunuch said: "It's three o'clock and four o'clock, Your Majesty, it's time for you to settle down."

Emperor Wenchang stretched and stood up, "No wonder I'm tired."

Get up and go out.

Suddenly there was a commotion, and the imperial guards rushed over and reported through the door: "Your Majesty, the Qingcui Pavilion, Ruyi Pavilion, and Cuiwei Palace are flooded. Please stay in the Imperial Study Room for the time being."

Emperor Wenchang looked calm: "Have you sent someone to put out the fire?"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty," the imperial guard replied outside, "everything is under control."

Emperor Wenchang nodded slightly, and went back to the back of the book case, but instead of reviewing the memorial, he took a book and flipped through it, and smiled when he saw something interesting, "Zigu has really improved!"

What he was looking at was part of the manuscript of Rong An's "Northern Chronicles".

Naturally, Rong An was reluctant to show Chu Yin's revised manuscript. This was the first draft, and many places had been altered.

The eunuch Bingbi poured a cup of hot tea for Emperor Wenchang, and said with a smile, "Champion Hou was almost taught by you, so he is naturally outstanding."

Emperor Wenchang chuckled, "How can you say that your own children can't teach themselves!

"Back then, Jingyang and Shouli were just letting this kid go. If he doesn't like studying, let him go. How can this work!
"Oh, although I have taught Zigu well, my son can't teach him well..."

The eunuch Bingbi didn't know how to reply, so he waited carefully with his arms crossed.

The noise outside, not only did not subside, but intensified, the sound of metal and iron clanging could be faintly heard.

The eunuch Bingbi frowned, a little flustered, but seeing that Emperor Wenchang was still flipping through the manuscript calmly, he took a few deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, and asked, "Your Majesty, it's late at night, would you like some soup?"

"Forget it," Emperor Wenchang waved his hand, "Who still has the heart to make soup at this time? Just wait."

However, the commotion did not last long. About half an hour later, the screaming gradually subsided, and the imperial guards outside replied: "Your Majesty, all the thieves have been captured, and Your Majesty can sleep in peace."

Only then did Emperor Wenchang put down the manuscript in his hand, and walked out slowly.

The commander of the imperial guards, Xiao Li, trotted over and bowed to salute: "Your Majesty, a total of 72 traitors were captured alive and 86 were beheaded tonight.

"All those who participated in the rebellion have been captured, and are now being held in Wenxiu Palace and Qingyi Garden respectively.

"Among them, Wenxiu Palace imprisoned 14 high-ranking wives, and Qingyi Garden imprisoned a total of 46 servants and maids."

Emperor Wenchang nodded slightly, "Send these people to Yeting Prison for trial, and send the rest of the bandits to Dali Temple after dawn."

Xiao Li took the order, and said again: "All the underground waterways have been cleaned up, and it is confirmed that there are no hidden dangers."

Before, Emperor Wenchang gave Xiao Li a secret decree to lead people to clean up the waterway, so after all the thieves came out of the waterway today, he immediately cut off the opponent's retreat.

Outside the palace, guards have already been assigned to the entrances, and a two-pronged approach is taken to ensure that no fish slips through the net.
